(Embodiment of the Invention)

EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, one Embodiment of this invention is described with reference to attached drawing.

1 is a side cross-sectional view of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of FIG. The air conditioner 10 includes a main body case 1, a front panel 3 and a ceiling panel 5 attached to the main body case 1. The front panel 3 has a front inlet 4, and the ceiling panel 5 has an upper surface inlet 6.

The main body case 1 is formed long horizontally using a synthetic resin, and a cross flow fan (blower) 9 extending in the longitudinal direction is provided at an approximately center position in the main body case 1, and the cross flow fan A heat exchanger 7 is arranged between the 9 and the front inlet 4 and the upper surface inlet 6.

This heat exchanger 7 consists of three blocks, and is formed in substantially "<" and "∧" shapes so as to surround the cross flow fan 9, so that the heat exchange efficiency does not decrease even if the air conditioner is downsized.

At the lower end of the heat exchanger 7, a drain pan 11 for collecting water dripping from the heat exchanger 7 is installed, and the drain pan 11 is fixed to the main body case 1. have.

At the lower end of the main body case 1, a blowout port 12 is formed at the lower end of the main body case 1 to blow out the air-conditioned air into the room by heat exchange with the heat exchanger 7, and as shown in Figs. A wind direction regulator 13 for setting the direction of the air blown out from 12 is integrally assembled to the lower part of the front panel 3.

Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the front panel and the ceiling panel removed, Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the front panel and the ceiling panel from the front, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the front panel and the ceiling panel from the rear. .

The front panel 3 is formed with a suction grating 31 extending in the width direction at the center thereof, and a front filter 33 is attached to the rear of the suction grating 31. This front face part filter 33 is separably supported by the locking part 35 of the back side of the front panel 3 so that attachment or detachment is possible.

In addition, the ceiling panel 5 constitutes its own filter. That is, the ceiling panel 5 has a mesh filter material in the filter frame 45 having a plurality of reinforcing longitudinal ribs 41 and a plurality of reinforcing transverse ribs 43, as shown in FIG. (Not shown) is integrated.

In addition, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are integrally connected, and are detachably attached to the main body case 1 in this integral state. These front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 overlap the main body case 1. In this case, hold the front panel 3 with both hands, and carry the front panel 3 to a position where the ceiling panel 5 is placed on the ceiling surface portion 17C of the main body case 1 and move it to there. The front panel 3 is press-fitted to the main body case 1 side. Then, the pair of convex portions 3A formed on the rear side of the front panel 3 are supported by the engaging portion 17D of the main body case 1, and then the lower edge portion of the front panel 3 is supported. By sliding the installed lock mechanism (not shown), the upper panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are superimposed on the main body case 1, and the wall-mounted air conditioner 10 as shown in FIG. ) Is configured.

Next, the connection between the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 3 will be described with reference to Figs. Fig. 6 is a sectional view showing a connection state between the front panel and the ceiling panel, and Fig. 7 is an enlarged view of the connection portion.

Four brackets 21 and 21 are protruded and installed at the upper rear side of the front panel 3, and each bracket 21 is provided with a rotary shaft 25 and a boss 23, and these bosses 23 and a rotary shaft are installed. The bracket 27 provided in the front part of the ceiling panel 5 is connected via 25.

The boss 23 and the rotation shaft 25 of the front panel 3 are disposed at the vertical position of each bracket 21 so that the boss 23 has a circular cross section and is formed about 0.5 mm in height, and the rotation shaft ( 25 is oval in cross section and is formed about 10 mm in height.

On the other hand, the bracket 27 of the ceiling panel 5 is provided with a engaging hole 24 and a bearing 26, and the bearing 26 pivotally attaches the rotating shaft 25, and at the same time, a cutout portion ( 30) and is formed in a C shape, and the gap width W of the cutout portion 30 is formed larger than the short diameter of the rotating shaft 25 and smaller than the long diameter. In addition, the engaging hole 24 has an arc shape of an oval shape, and engages the boss 23, and the boss 23 is slidable within the engaging hole 25.

Thereby, the ceiling panel 5 is rotatably connected about the front panel 3 about the rotational axis 25, and is controlled so that it may rotate with respect to the front panel 3 within several degrees of angle range. It is.

Next, disconnection and disconnection of the front panel and the ceiling panel will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. Fig. 8 is a sectional view showing a state in which the connecting portion of the front panel and the ceiling panel is removed, and Fig. 9 is an enlarged sectional view showing the connecting portion.

Since the gap width W of the bearing 26 (see FIG. 7) is larger than the shorter diameter of the rotating shaft 25, when the shorter diameters of the rotating shaft 25 face each other at this interval, the bearing of the rotating shaft 25 is supported. Can be removed from (26). In addition, the locking engagement state of the locking engagement hole 24 and the boss 23 is released by a slight external force because the height of the boss is low.

In such a configuration, in the state of Fig. 6, the rear portion of the ceiling panel is pushed down to release the locking engagement state of the locking engagement hole 24 and the boss 23 so that the front panel 3 and the ceiling surface are released. The panel 5 can be folded. These front panels 3 and ceiling panels 5 can be folded until the ends of the rear portions of the ceiling panels 5 abut against the back of the front panels 3. In addition, when folded to abutment, the short diameter of the rotating shaft 25 and the cutout portion 30 of the bearing 26 face each other, and the ceiling surface panel 5 is pulled in a direction away from the front panel panel 3. The ceiling panel 5 can be separated from the front panel 3.

As described above, since the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are detachably attached to the main body case 1, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are detachably attached to the main body case 1, and are removed after being removed from the main body case 1 for cleaning. It can be simply transported to a location, for example a bathroom.

In addition, since the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 can be easily separated at a predetermined angle, the panels 3 and 5 can be easily cleaned after separation. In addition, since the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are connected to each other at a predetermined angle, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are not disturbed when the main body case 1 is attached or detached.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on one Embodiment, this invention is not limited to this.

In the present invention, since the front panel and the ceiling panel are detachably connected, and the filter is detachably attached to the front panel, cleaning of the front panel, the ceiling panel and the filter is extremely simple. have.
