Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner.
In general, an air conditioner is a cooling / heating system for cooling or heating a city by an operation of sucking indoor air and exchanging heat with coolant of low or high temperature and discharging it to the room, And a valve-evaporator.
Particularly, the air conditioner mainly comprises an outdoor unit (also referred to as an 'outdoor side' or a 'heat radiating side') installed in an outdoor space and an indoor unit (also referred to as an 'indoor side' or ' A condenser (outdoor heat exchanger) and a compressor are installed in the outdoor unit, and an evaporator is installed in the indoor unit (indoor heat exchanger).
As is well known, the air conditioner can be broadly divided into a separate type air conditioner in which an outdoor unit and an indoor unit are separated from each other, and an integral type air conditioner in which an outdoor unit and an indoor unit are integrally installed. In consideration of installation space and noise, Harmonics are preferred.
In the multi-type air conditioner of the separate type air conditioner, a plurality of indoor units are connected to one outdoor unit, and the indoor units are installed in the room for air conditioning, thereby providing a plurality of air conditioners.
Among indoor units of the multi-type air conditioner, indoor units of a cassette type air conditioner installed in the ceiling of the indoor space for cooling and heating the indoor space are widely used.
A typical configuration of such a cassette type air conditioner is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 10-2009-0074374.
Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2009-0074374 discloses a drain pan having a case inside a cabinet installed on a ceiling and being coupled to the case and having a panel discharge port. The panel discharge port is formed such that an outer side of the drain pan is open, and the upper end of the case and the outer lower end of the drain pan are in contact with each other when the drain pan is installed.
Therefore, when the air is discharged through the panel discharge port, a portion of the outer bottom of the drain pan that is in contact with the upper end of the case is exposed in a path through which the air flows, and vibrations and shudder occur when the air flows toward the joints. There is a problem that noise is generated.
In addition, the outer surface of the drain pan is formed to have a thin thickness by the formation of the panel discharge port, and thus, there is a problem that the drain pan may be damaged during the assembly process or due to vibrations during air flow.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner capable of reducing noises and vibrations during discharge of air and improving the strength of a drain pan assembly by preventing junction portions exposed to a panel discharge port side from occurring.
An indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an out plate that forms an appearance of a cabinet installed in a ceiling of an indoor space; An inner case housed inside the out plate and forming an inner space of the cabinet; A blowing fan provided inside the inner case; A heat exchanger arranged to surround the outside of the blowing fan; A drain pan assembly mounted on an upper end of the inner case and collecting condensed water generated in the heat exchanger; And a panel that shields the cabinet from the upper end of the drain pan assembly and has a suction port through which indoor air is sucked and a panel discharge port through which heat exchanged air is discharged, wherein the drain pan assembly includes: A seat portion extending from both ends of the seat; And a concave portion formed on both sides of the drain pan assembly and being recessed toward the center between the seating portions, wherein the inner case extends from both ends of the bottom portion forming the bottom of the inner case to an upper end of the drain pan assembly And an extension portion coupled to a depressed side of the depression to form a discharge port arranged in the vertical direction with respect to the panel discharge port, wherein both side ends of the extended portion and the depressed side of the depression have mutually corresponding inclined surfaces, And are slidably brought into close contact with each other when they are mounted.
delete
Both side ends of the extended portion and the recessed side of the depressed portion have slopes corresponding to each other, and are slidably brought into close contact with each other when the drain pan assembly is mounted.
And the extended portions are formed so that the widths of both side ends become narrower toward the upper side.
A recessed extension groove is formed at an upper end of the extended portion and a restraint piece is formed at an upper end of the out plate to be bent inside the extended portion groove to restrain the inner case.
And a pair of stepped portions are formed on the upper end of the inner case so as to be stepped lower than the height of the extended portion in the both side chambers of the extended portion.
And the pair of stepped portions are formed to have different widths.
And the at least one stepped portion of the pair of stepped portions provides a space in which a control box for controlling the driving of the indoor unit is disposed.
According to the present invention having the above-described configuration, the following effects can be expected.
First, a discharge port through which the heat-exchanged air is discharged is formed by the combination of the inner case and the drain pan. In particular, the outer surface of the drain pan has a recessed shape for forming the discharge port. Therefore, the portion where the strength is weak to form the discharge port is eliminated, and the durability can be improved.
Secondly, the outer end of the discharge port is formed by the extended portion, and the extended portion extends to the opened upper end of the cabinet, so that there is no joint portion on the path through which the discharged air flows, It is possible to expect an effect that can be prevented. Further, the sealing performance can be improved by omitting the joining portion, and the effect of further improving the heat insulating property can be expected.
Third, when the drain pan assembly is mounted, the seating portion is configured to be fitted and seated in the stepped portion, and the inclined surfaces are formed in the mounting direction so that the drain pan assembly is formed when the drain pan assembly is assembled. There is an advantage that the inner case can be easily engaged and can be brought into close contact with each other.
