Description

Top cover structure with seal for air-conditioner

The present invention relates to an upper cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal, and more particularly, to an upper cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal that maintains an airtight assembly relationship between an indoor unit body such as an air conditioner and an upper cover.

In general, the air conditioner is one of the tools to provide a pleasant environment for humans, starting with the simple function of providing cool or warm air, and nowadays, other functions such as air purification are added to satisfy the needs of consumers. .

On the other hand, air conditioners are classified into various types according to their function or the configuration of the unit. In the classification by function, they can be classified into cooling only, cooling and dehumidification only, and cooling and heating. It is divided into an integrated air conditioner that is installed in windows and the like by integrating cooling and heat dissipation functions, and a separate air conditioner that separates and installs a cooling device in an indoor space and a heat dissipation and compression device in an outdoor space.

Among the air conditioners described above, an air conditioner is configured to connect a plurality of indoor units to a single outdoor unit, such as a separate air conditioner, to allow air conditioning for each of a plurality of indoor spaces.

As shown in FIG. 1, a general air conditioner indoor unit includes a suction grill panel 30 having a plurality of suction ports 31 and 32 formed on a front of a box-shaped indoor unit main body 10 for three-dimensional three-dimensional cooling, and a front panel. The 40 is assembled to form an outer shape, and the upper part of the casing is covered with the upper cover 20 to assemble the bolts. The indoor unit main body 10 includes a heat exchanger such as an evaporator and a blower (not shown) therein to discharge cool air from the discharge grill 41, and at this time, operate an operating state with the control panel 50, thereby indoors. It is to control the temperature of the space and to dehumidify.

The air conditioner indoor unit is fastened to a plurality of bolt holes 21 formed in the upper cover 20, thereby coupling the indoor unit main body 10 and the upper cover 20.

However, in the conventional top cover structure for the air conditioner, which is coupled to the indoor unit main body with bolt holes and screws, the upper edge of the indoor unit main body and the lower edge of the upper cover are simply contacted by an interview, thereby maintaining an airtight fixed state. In the operation of the indoor unit main body, there is a disadvantage in that noise and vibration are generated at the contact portion due to the flow of the blower or air.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to form a sealing of rubber material on the contact surface portion between the upper cover and the indoor unit main body, to suppress the generation of noise and vibration generated when the indoor unit main body operation, and to maintain a tight coupling relationship It is an object of the present invention to provide a top cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal that can

An object of the present invention described above is a top cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal applied to an upper cover surrounded by a side wall to cover an upper part of an indoor unit, wherein a slit-shaped groove is formed in a direction extending from the lower side wall of the upper cover And a seal fixed to the groove to a height that can project slightly from the bottom of the side wall, to seal the contact area when the top cover and the indoor unit body are coupled, and to absorb noise and vibration. It is achieved by a top cover structure for an air conditioner having a sealing.

Hereinafter, an upper cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4.

The upper cover structure for the air conditioner having the seal described in this embodiment is the same as the prior art except that the groove is fixed by extending the groove on the bottom edge of the upper cover, and thus the same or similar components are the same. Or similar reference numerals will be used, and detailed descriptions for the same contents will be omitted.

2 and 3 are a plan view and a partial cross-sectional view for explaining the upper cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal according to the present invention, Figure 4 is a combination of the upper cover structure for an air conditioner with a seal according to the present invention It is sectional drawing for demonstrating a relationship.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the upper cover structure for the air conditioner having a seal of the present invention is to cover the indoor unit body, the outer wall 201 and the inner wall (20) having an overall planar shape of the 'c' shape ( Applied to the upper cover 200 surrounded by the rim portion 202, a slit groove 203 is formed in the extending direction of the inner wall 202 near the inner wall 202 side.

In the groove 203 of the upper cover structure for an air conditioner having such a seal of the present invention, a seal 300 made of rubber, urethane, and silicon of an elastic type used in a sealed structure is forcibly inserted and fixed.

Here, the seal 300 may be attached to the groove 203 by a conventional adhesive, and because it has a height longer than the depth of the groove 203, the lower horizontal surface of the upper cover 200 or the inner wall 202 Slightly more protruding.

As shown in FIG. 4, the seal 300 fixed to the above-mentioned groove 203 has an inner side of the upper edge surface 12 of the indoor unit main body 10 when the upper cover 200 and the indoor unit main body 10 are assembled. It is seated on the jaw 11 formed in the upper part, and thus maintains an airtight coupling relationship between the indoor unit main body 10 and the upper cover 200, and at the same time, when the vibration occurs due to the indoor unit main body 10 or the internal air flow, It absorbs vibration and noise by the material to reduce vibration and noise, and blocks moisture.

As described in detail above, the upper cover structure for the air conditioner having the seal of the present invention maintains a very tight coupling relationship between the indoor unit main body and the upper cover by a seal fixed to the groove, and generates vibration and noise. By suppressing, there is an advantage that can improve the quality of the product.

In addition, in the upper cover structure for the air conditioner having the seal of the present invention, the seal slightly protrudes from the lower horizontal plane of the upper cover, thereby closing the gap between the upper cover and the contact surface between the indoor unit and the main body, so that fine dust and dust are integrated. There is an advantage that can effectively prevent the flow into the body.

In addition, in the upper cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal of the present invention, since the seal can prevent moisture or water droplets, etc., caused by the temperature difference between the internal air and the external air, from leaking to the outside of the indoor unit, a beautiful appearance of the indoor unit. There is an additional advantage to keep it beautiful.

Although the technical idea of the upper cover structure for an air conditioner having a seal of the present invention has been described with the accompanying drawings, this is illustrative of the best embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. In addition, it is obvious that any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and imitations without departing from the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
