The clip 200 may be integrally formed with the back or side portion of the display casing 110, or may be separately inserted into the fitting portion formed in the display casing 110 after being formed separately from the display casing 110. Do.

As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the clip 200 is spaced apart from the rear surface of the display casing 110 by an extension 210 protruding rearward from the display casing 110 and the extension 210. And a bent portion 220 extending and elastically contacting the rear side of the front panel 60.

Clip 200 is preferably formed integrally with the extension portion 210 and the bent portion 220, it is preferable that the extension portion 210 is formed to be partially deformed during elastic deformation of the bent portion 220.

On the other hand, the display 100 may be installed in the front panel 60 while the front panel 60 is rotated in front of the cabinet 30 to expose the front portion, the front panel 60 is the cabinet 30 It is also possible to be installed on the front panel 60 while covering the front portion of the.

When the clip 200 is installed on the bottom panel 60 while the front panel 60 covers the front portion of the cabinet 30, the bent portion 220 is a gap between the front panel 60 and the cabinet 30. It has a thickness that can be inserted into 66.

On the other hand, the clip 200 may be in contact with the back surface of the front panel 60 with a strong elasticity so as not to slip, and a separate locking structure such as a groove or a hole is formed on the back side of the front panel 60 to form a groove or A part of the clip 200 may be inserted into the hole and may be caught. Hereinafter, only a separate locking structure is provided on the rear side of the front panel 60.

That is, the front panel 60 is provided with a detachable portion 80 that is in contact with the clip 200 is also engaged.

Here, the detachable part 80 may be formed as a groove part in which a part of the clip 200 is caught up, down, left and right on the rear panel 64 itself of the front panel 60, and The rear panel 64 may be formed of a hook portion which protrudes backward from the rear panel 64 and a hook hole portion 82 having a portion of the clip 200 hooked up, down, left, or right. .

The hook portion 80 protrudes rearward from the rear surface of the rear panel 64 of the front panel 60, and protrudes laterally from the rear end of the front and rear protrusions 84 and the locking hole 82. Is composed of left and right protrusions 86 formed to be opened in the front-rear direction.

That is, the detachable part 80 protrudes in the shape of the letter 'b' on the rear surface of the rear panel 64 of the front panel 60.

On the other hand, the detachable portion 80 is formed in the rear panel 64 of the front panel 60 in a long one in the vertical direction and a plurality of engaging holes 82 may be formed in the left and right protrusions 86 to be spaced apart in the vertical direction. The rear panel 64 of the front panel 60 may be formed in a plurality of spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the plurality of detachable parts 80a, 80b, 80c, and 80d may be spaced apart in the vertical direction. The description will be limited.

Here, the plurality of detachable parts 80a, 80b, 80c, and 80d may be spaced up and down at intervals smaller than the height of the bent part 220 so that the bent part 220 of the clip 200 is not inserted and caught therebetween. Is formed.

Meanwhile, since the maximum height adjustment width of the display 100 is determined according to the overall height of the plurality of detachable parts 80, the air conditioner preferably has a plurality of detachable parts 80 formed as long as possible, and the locking hole part 82 is provided. Since the height adjustment stage is determined according to the number of, that is, the number of the removable portion 80, it is preferable that the number of the engaging hole 82 is formed large.

In addition, the display 100 is fixed to the front panel 60 by the elastic force of the bent portion 220 while the display casing 110 side and the bent portion 220 side are positioned before and after the front panel 60, respectively. The extension part 210 protrudes rearward longer than the thickness of the front panel 60, and the bent part 220 is formed in a direction substantially parallel to the display casing 110 at the rear side of the display casing 110.

The at least one bent portion 220 is formed to be rounded convexly toward at least a portion 222, 224, and the contact portion 222 contacting the left and right protrusions 86 of the detachable portion 80 is rounded. The insertion part 224, which is inserted into the locking hole 82 of the detachable part 80 and is caught up and down, left and right, is formed to be rounded in the locking hole 82.

In the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, the display casing 110 is positioned at the front side of the front panel 60 while the clip 200 is bent in a shape that is opened with respect to the display casing 110, and the bending is performed as a part of the clip 200. When the unit 220 is positioned at the rear of the front panel 60, the display 100 is positioned over the front, side, and rear of one edge of the front panel 80.

Then, if the insertion part 224 of the clip 200 is positioned behind one of the plurality of detachable parts 80, and then the force applied to the clip 200 is removed, that is, the clip 200 is further removed. If it is not bent abnormally, the clip 200 is restored to the shape where the bent portion 220 is folded toward the display casing 110 by the elastic force, as shown in Figure 11, the insertion portion of the clip 200 224 is inserted into the engaging hole 82 of one of the plurality of removable parts 80 (80a) is caught up, down, left, right.

In this case, in the display 100, the roller 150 contacts the front surface of the front panel 60 by the elastic force of the clip 200.

That is, in the display 100, the bent portion 220 of the clip 200 is caught by the rear side of the front panel 60, and the bent portion 220 and the display casing 110 of the clip 200 are placed on the front panel. It is elastically compressed to 60 and fixed to the front panel 60.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 12, when the clip 200 is bent in a shape that is opened with respect to the display casing 110, the clip 200 has an insertion portion 224 of the bent portion 220. , It escapes from the catching hole portion 82 of the detachable portion 80a that is hanging to the right and is not caught by the detachable portion 80, and the display 100 can move in the vertical direction.

As described above, when the display 100 is moved up or down in the state in which the clip 200 is not hooked on the front panel 60, the bent portion 220 of the clip 200 is provided with a plurality of detachable portions 80a ( 80b) 80c (80d) is moved from the rear position to the upper or lower position, wherein the roller 150 is lowered to the display 100 stable while the wheel 154 rolls along the front of the front panel 60. Help me very much.

If the display 100 is moved upward or downward to remove the force applied to the clip 200 while the bent portion 220 of the clip 200 is positioned behind the other detachable portion 80d, that is, When the clip 200 is no longer bent, the clip 200 is restored to a shape in which the bent portion 220 is moved toward the display casing 110 by the elastic force, and the insertion portion 224 of the clip 200 is restored. Is inserted into the engaging hole 82 of the other one (80d) of the plurality of removable portion 80 is caught up, down, left, right.

That is, in the display 100, the bent portion 220 and the display casing 110 of the clip 200 are elastically compressed to the front panel 60 while the height thereof is adjusted to be fixed to the front panel 60. .
