(First embodiment)

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 a wall-mounted indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of FIG.

The indoor unit 10 includes an indoor unit main body 1, a front panel 3, and a ceiling panel 5, and the indoor unit main body 1 is formed of a plastic material or the like and has a main body case formed in a horizontal length ( Has 1A). The main body case 1A is provided with inlet openings 3h and 5h on the front face and the upper surface thereof, and a cross flow fan (blower) 9 extending in the longitudinal direction at an approximately center position in the main body case 1A. The heat exchanger 7 is arranged between the cross flow fan 9, the front inlet port 3h and the upper surface inlet port 5h.

At the lower end of the heat exchanger 7, a drain pan 11 receiving water condensed from the heat exchanger 7 to be dripped is provided, and the drain pan 11 is fixed to the main body case 1A.

At the lower end of the main body case 1A, a blower outlet 12 for blowing air-conditioned air into the room is formed, and the blower outlet 12 is provided with a wind direction controller 13 for setting the direction of the blown air. .

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 back side. to be.

4 and 5, 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 side of the suction grating 31. have. This front face part filter 33 is separably latched by the attachment part 35 of the back surface of the front panel 3. As shown in FIG.

The ceiling panel 5 constitutes a filter itself. That is, the ceiling surface panel 5 is comprised by integrating the mesh filter material 47 with the filter frame 45 which has some reinforcement longitudinal cross-section 41 and the some reinforcement horizontal cross-section 43. .

In this configuration, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are integrally connected, and four brackets 21 protrude from the rear surface of the front panel 3, and each of the brackets 21 is provided. The boss 23 and the rotating shaft 25 are provided in this, and the bracket 27 of the ceiling panel 5 is connected through these boss 23 and the rotating shaft 25. As shown in FIG.

On the other hand, the bracket 27 of the ceiling panel 5 is provided with an engaging hole 28 and a bearing 29 in an arc shape as shown in FIG. The rotary shaft 25 is rotatably inserted so that the boss 23 is coupled to the coupling hole 28.

And the ceiling panel 5 is rotatably connected with respect to the front panel 3 by the rotating shaft 25 and the bearing 29, and also the front panel by the boss 23 and the engaging hole 28. The angle is maintained at about 90 degrees with respect to (3), and the rotation within the range of several times is possible.

Next, a mechanism for attaching the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 to the main body 1 will be described. FIG. 7 is a side cross-sectional view of the upper right side showing the state in which the front panel 3 is attached to the main body 1, and in FIG. 3A) is formed. Each convex portion 3A has an angle of about 45 degrees, and the front plate 51 and the rear plate (contact plate) 52 formed in a V-shape and the side plate 53 (side plate) covering the outside of these plates 51 and 52. 53 is provided on the right side in the convex portion 3A on the right side of the main body 1 and on the left side in the convex portion 3A on the left side], and the V-shaped tip portion 54 is processed into a semi-cylindrical shape. As shown in Fig. 9, the tip 54 side protrudes toward the center of the main body. The protruding portion 55 is pivoted to the concave portion 56 formed in the main body 1, so that the protruding portion 55 and the concave portion 56 are easily detachable.

On the other hand, the main body 1 is provided with a locking portion 17D for locking the convex portion 3A, and the locking portion 17D has a front wall 61 and a rear wall (guide plate) intersecting at an angle of about 60 degrees. It is formed in the V-shape at 62, and the bottom is made into the semicylindrical shape which circumscribes to the front-end | tip part 54 of the said convex part 3A.

The front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 configured as described above are attached to and detachably attached to the indoor unit main body 1 in an integrated state. When the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are attached to the main body 1, the front panel 3 is held by both hands and the ceiling panel 5 is the ceiling surface portion 17C of the main body 1. Carry the front panel (3) to a position where it gets on. When the front panel 3 is press-fitted to the main body 1 side from there, a pair of convex part 3A formed in the back surface side of the front panel 3 hangs on the locking part 17D of the main body 1, and is latched. do. Thereafter, the front panel 3 is fixed to the main body 1 by operating a panel fixing mechanism (not shown) provided in the lower edge portion of the front panel 3. As a result, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are stacked on the main body 1 to form a wall-mounted air conditioner 10 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are in contact with the front plate 51 of the convex portion 3A and the front wall 61 of the locking portion 17D. Attached in a state.

Next, in the case of removing the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 from the main body 1, the panel fixing mechanism is first removed, and the front panel 3 is held with both hands by holding the lower edge of the front panel 3 with both hands. (3) Pull the lower corner portion forwardly upward and rotate about the upper rotation shaft 25. Then, as shown in Fig. 8, the rear plate 52 of the convex portion 3A and the rear wall 62 of the locking portion 17D come into contact with each other and the rotation is stopped, and the front panel 3 is upwardly upward. By pulling in, the pulling force acts in the direction of pushing up the ceiling panel 3, so that the rear plate 52 slides along the rear wall 62 and is pushed upward. As a result, the lower end portion of the front end portion 54 rises above the front wall 61 so that the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 are removed. The front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 can be easily removed from the main body 1.

In this way, when the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 which are integrally connected are removed from the main body 1, the front panel 3 is pulled upward by pulling the front panel 3 upward. Since the projection 3A is removed from the locking portion 17D by moving, the front panel 3 and the ceiling panel 5 can be easily removed from the main body 1.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated based on one Embodiment, this invention is not limited to this, It can change and implement suitably within the range which does not deviate from the summary.

In the present embodiment, the convex portions and the locking portions are provided on the left and right sides, respectively, but one or three or more of the convex portions and the locking portions may be provided.

According to the present invention, when the front panel and the ceiling panel which are integrally connected are removed from the main body, the contact plate of the convex part contacts the guide plate of the locking part of the main body by pulling the lower part of the front panel forward and lifting upward. Since the convex portion is guided upward by sliding, the convex portion is simply removed from the locking portion, and the front panel and the ceiling surface panel are simply removed from the main body to facilitate the detachable operation.

In addition, since the front panel and the ceiling panel can be easily separated after being removed from the main body, these can be easily cleaned.
