As shown in FIGS. 6 to 10, the air conditioner according to the present embodiment is connected to the hose fixing part 200 formed in the main body 2, in particular, the chassis 10.

The hose fixing part 200 may be a chassis 10, in particular, the electric part 13 so that the chassis 10 itself may fix the connection hose 170 without a separate fixing member or a fastening structure for fixing the connection hose 170. It is formed integrally with).

The hose fixing part 200 is recessed toward the front of the chassis 10 to protrude toward the front of the chassis 10 to have a space in which the connection hose 170 is accommodated.

 The hose fixing part 200 includes a first fixing part 202 opening up and down, and a second fixing part 210 opening from side to side in succession in the first fixing part 202.

The first fixing part 202 is a kind of housing formed larger than the outer diameter of the connection hose 170. The first fixing part 202 is connected to the left part located on the left side of the connection hose 170 and the right part located on the right side of the connection hose 170. It consists of a front part located in front of the hose 170 is formed long in the vertical direction as a whole, the rear surface 203 is opened to the rear.

The first fixing part 202 is formed to be partially inclined downward as the upper end 204 is moved forward to facilitate the bending of the connection hose 170 and to minimize the damage of the connection hose 170.

As illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 11, the first fixing part 202 is formed at a position covered by the mounting plate 11 when the chassis 10 is installed on the mounting plate 11. In other words, the mounting plate 11 according to the present embodiment is a mounting member for installing the chassis, and also serves as a cover covering part of the hose fixing part 100, in particular, the first fixing part.

On the other hand, the second fixing part 210 is a kind of housing formed larger than the outer diameter of the connection hose 170, the upper side is located on the upper side of the connection hose 170, and the right side is located below the connection hose 170 And, consisting of the front portion located in front of the connection hose 170 is formed long in the horizontal direction as a whole, the rear surface 211 is opened to the rear.

The hose fixing part 200 may have the second fixing part 210 extending from the lower part of the first fixing part 210 to one of the left and right sides, and the second fixing part 210 may be the first fixing part ( It is also possible to extend to one side of the left, right from the upper portion of the 210, a plurality of one side of the first fixing portion 202 and the second fixing portion 210 may be formed, in the following 'b' shape as a whole Explain that it was formed.

That is, when the connection hose 170 is intended to flow in the vertical direction, the connection hose 170 is constrained to the upper or lower portion of the second fixing part 210 so that the upward and downward flow is limited, and the connection hose 170 is The connection hose 170 is constrained to the left side or the right side of the first fixing part 202 when the flow of the connection hose 170 is restricted, and the flow of the connection hose 170 is limited. When the connection hose 170 is to flow forward, the connection hose Since the 170 is constrained to the front part of the first fixing part 202 and the front part of the second fixing part 210 to restrict the forward flow thereof, the connection hose 170 is fixed stably as a whole.

In addition, the hose fixing part 200 is formed in the motor mounting part 14 in which the fan motor 51 is installed among the electric parts 13 of the chassis 10.

The motor mounting portion 14 of the chassis 10 has an approximately center portion close to the fan motor 51 and has a free space at the upper and lower portions thereof, and the hose fixing portion 200 is integrated at the upper portion of the motor mounting portion 14. Is formed.

 The hose fixing part 200 further includes a hook 220 that is formed to protrude forward to the chassis 10 and to which the connection hose 170 is caught.

The hook 220 additionally fixes a portion of the connection hose 170 which is not fixed by the first fixing part 202 and the second fixing part 210, and is positioned above the first fixing part 202. Is formed.

In addition, the hook 220 is made up of the upper and lower hooks arranged to be spaced apart from the upper and lower sides when fixing the portion arranged in the left and right of the connection hose 170, when fixing the portion arranged long vertically The left and right hooks 222 and 224 are spaced apart.

Referring to the fixing hose fixing operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the connecting hose 170 is positioned at the rear of the chassis 10, particularly at the rear of the hose fixing part 200, and then one end of the connecting hose 170 is placed through the rear surface 203 of the first fixing part 202. The first fixing part 202 is inserted into the upper end of the opening of the first fixing part 202 while being inserted into the first fixing part 202, and a part of the connection hose 170 is inserted into the inner space of the first fixing part 202 so as to insert the first fixing part. To 202. With the above operation, the other end positioned behind the chassis 10 among the connecting hoses 170 is pulled out to the right end, which is the opening end of the second fixing part 202, and inserted into the inner space of the first fixing part 202. After bending the lower portion of the portion at a right angle to the second fixing portion 210 is inserted into the inner space is fixed to the second fixing portion (210).

At this time, the connection hose 170 is exposed to the front of the chassis 10 while the portion passing through the first fixing part 202 is extended in the vertical direction, the portion passing through the second fixing part 120 is left and right direction While being disposed to be long, the front of the chassis 10 is exposed.

And, while pushing the exposed portion of the front of the chassis 10 in the front of the connecting hose 170 to the left, right hook 222, 224 of the hook 220, the left, right hook 222 (224) ) Restrains the connection hose 170 by elastic restoring force after elastic deformation.

Thereafter, the end of the connection hose 170, particularly the portion passing through the first fixing portion 202 is properly bent and connected to the connecting portion 138 of the suction duct 135, and passes through the second fixing portion 210. While bending one part properly, the other end is connected to the cleaning blower 180, in particular, the connection pipe 187 of the fan housing 183.

On the other hand, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, the connection hose 170 is inserted downward from the upper side of the first fixing part 202, or is inserted in the left and right directions from the side of the second fixing part (210) It is also possible to penetrate while partially bending along the first fixing part 202 and the second fixing part 210.

In addition, the suction mechanism 100 does not include the suction duct assembly 130, and consists of only the suction nozzle 110, one end of the connection hose 170 is connected to the suction nozzle 110 and the other end of the suction force generating unit ( 180 is connected, and a portion of the connection hose 170 is moved or stretched together with the suction nozzle 110 and the rest, in particular, the portion located in the electric part 13 is the hose fixing part 100 as in the embodiment of the present invention It is also possible to be fixed to).
