Description

Water receiving device for cleaning wall-mounted air conditioner {WATERSPOUT APPARATUS FOR CLEANING OF WALL TYPE AIR CONDITIONER)}

One embodiment of the present invention relates to a drip tray device used to clean a wall-mounted air conditioner with water.

In general, an air conditioner maintains a temperature suitable for activities by supplying cool air to an enclosed indoor space such as an office, room, or inside a building in hot summer weather, and is based on air conditioning.

The operating principle of this air conditioner is based on the process in which refrigerant such as Freon gas is compressed to a high temperature and high pressure in a compressor and delivered to a condenser, and the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant delivered to the condenser is cooled by a fan and changed to a low temperature and high pressure. .

The low-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant passes through the capillary again to reduce pressure and change to low-temperature and low-pressure. This changed low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant passes through the evaporator, absorbs heat from the surroundings, and blows wind at this time to create cold air.

Air conditioners can be classified into wall-mounted, stand-up, ceiling-type air conditioners, etc. according to the type of installation. Recently, air conditioners are being installed not only in large buildings but also in residential houses such as high-rise apartments.

The frequency of use of such an air conditioner is rapidly increasing due to the improvement in living standards of modern people and abnormal temperature phenomena.

Along with this demand, diseases of the respiratory system are increasing due to the odor and dirt inside the air conditioner, and along with it, the awareness of the cleanliness of the air conditioner is increasing year by year, so it is important to maintain perfect cleanliness through frequent washing of the air conditioner. .

In general, an air conditioner filter filtering dust among internal components of an air conditioner has a structure in which the air conditioner filter can be easily separated, washed, dried, and reinstalled so that anyone can easily clean the air conditioner at home.

However, in the case of cooling fins and blowers, where mold, which is a cause of disease and odor, proliferates, it is difficult for the general public to easily separate them due to the structure of the air conditioner.

In addition, in the case of cooling fins, a method of removing dust or foreign substances by scraping them along the grain of the cooling fin using a toothbrush or cleaning brush in the installed state has been known, but this method cannot completely remove dust or foreign substances. There was a problem of cleaning to the extent that only the surface was wiped.

In addition, since the cooling fins are very sharp, there were cases in which hands were injured when cleaning while holding a toothbrush or cleaning brush with hands, or the cooling fins were severely distorted during work.

In particular, in the case of a cylindrical blower used in a wall-mounted air conditioner, as drying and wetting are repeated, the mold is thickly pressed and cannot be removed unless a large amount of water is sprayed at high pressure while melting through chemicals. I'm having a hard time.

Therefore, recently, a method of cleaning the cooling fins and the blower using washing water or steam sprayed through a high-pressure washer is mainly used, and a large amount of contaminated water is scattered in the process of cleaning the cooling fins and the blower using the washing water or steam.

However, due to the nature of air conditioners that are mainly installed indoors, a large amount of contaminated water generated during the cleaning process of the air conditioner scatters and severely contaminates surrounding items and wallpaper. Conventionally, when washing the air conditioner using washing water or steam, not only the body case but also the surrounding area There is a disadvantage in that it takes a long time for the maintenance work performed prior to the cleaning work by performing the cleaning operation after attaching the maintenance vinyl to the maintenance work.

In addition, if you do not lift or miss the structural vinyl with no support by hand, the vinyl falls down and the water sprayed at high pressure is sprayed to the outside of the vinyl, or it is sprayed on the cooling fin or blower wet with the chemical, contaminating the chemical The phenomenon of splashing water on the surroundings or the face of the worker has occurred frequently. In the process of removing the maintenance vinyl after cleaning, contaminated water is frequently scattered, and since the removed maintenance vinyl must be discarded, there is a disadvantage in that the generation of garbage accordingly increases.

Therefore, a method of cleaning not only the air conditioner filter but also the interior of the wall-mounted air conditioner more easily, safely, and reducing contamination may be considered.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 , a water receiving device 100 for cleaning a wall-mounted air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body 110, a sealing part 130, an opening 101 and a wire part 120. .

The main body 110 is made of a thin film of synthetic resin material, at least partially transparent, and is formed to entirely cover the wall-mounted air conditioner. The skeleton of the main body 110 is formed by a wire part 120 to be described later, and its shape is supported by the wire part 120. The body 110 may be detachably coupled to the wire unit 120 . A detachable means such as a button (thorn dot button) is formed at a portion of the main body 110 in contact with the wire unit 120 so that the main body 110 can be easily replaced. Alternatively, the end of the main body 110 may be fusion-bonded while surrounding the wire unit 120 .

A fitting ring 159 is formed between the body and the wall. The fitting ring 159 includes an insertion portion 158, an extension portion 156, and a hooking portion 157. The insertion portion 158 is inserted between the main body and the wall, and the extension portion 156 is a portion extending from the insertion portion. The hooking part 157 is a part extending from the extension part and is formed to hook the sealing part. That is, the inside of the sealing portion and the locking portion are in contact with each other so that the locking portion supports the sealing portion. The hanging part may be formed on both sides of the top of the air conditioner. And, the fitting ring may be formed by having one or more hooking parts. Due to this, the sealing part can be more easily coupled to the air conditioner.

The main body 110 has front and rear surfaces respectively opened. When the air conditioner 20 is fixed to the wall by the fixing device 21, the main body 110 covers the rest except for the fixing device 21. The sealing part 130 is coupled to the fixing device 21 so as to wrap around the fixing device 21 . The sealing part 130 may be formed using an elastic band (eg, a rubber band or a drawstring). Due to this, the open portion formed on the rear surface of the main body 110 is covered by the wall and the fixing device 21 .

An opening 101 is formed on the front of the main body 110 to expose the front of the air conditioner 20. A user may clean the filter or cooling fin of the air conditioner through the exposed opening 101 using a high-pressure washer or a steam sprayer.

The shape of the opening 101 is limited by the wire portion 120 . The wire unit 120 is formed by a ring-shaped first wire 121 and a second wire 122 coupled to the first wire 121 . The first wire 121 and the second wire 122 may be fixed by the fixing means 123 in a state where they overlap each other. The fixing means 123 may be formed of synthetic resin or a wire or a metal sleeve for wire connection, and in the case of using synthetic resin, it may be formed by molding the synthetic resin so that the wires pass through and the position is fixed. In the case of using a wire, the overlapped portion of the first wire 121 and the second wire 122 may be wound and fixed with a separate wire in an overlapping state. In the case of using a metal sleeve for wire connection, the wire may be formed by compressing the metal sleeve in an overlapped state.

If the first wire 121 has a circular ring shape, the second wire 122 may have a semicircular ring shape. That is, the second wire 122 may have the same size as either side when the first wire 121 is divided into two parts, and plays a main role in preventing water splashing when washing the center of the cooling fin through the opening 101. At the same time, the opening 103 is secured by pressing the wire 122 to secure the washing space of the blower located at the bottom of the air conditioner, and when the work is finished, it can be restored to its original shape.

The lower end 1211 of the first wire is supported by the wall. Due to this, it is possible to secure the opening 102 through which water can be sprayed to the upper part of the cooling fin without lifting the vinyl by hand by supporting the wire 121 upward against the load applied to the sealing part.

And, the length L1 of the main body extending from the upper end of the sealing part to the upper end of the first wire and the length L2 of the main body extending from the lower end of the sealing part to the lower end of the first wire are formed to be the same. As a result, the first wire has an optimal inclination angle and the load applied to the sealing portion is distributed to the first wire.

A discharge part 115 is formed at the lower part of the main body 110 so that contaminated water can be discharged after cleaning. The discharge unit 115 may be integrally formed with the body 110 or detachably coupled to the body 110 .

For portability of the wall-mounted air conditioner cleaning gutter device 100, as shown in FIG. 3, the wire unit 120 may be folded. When the first wire 121 and the second wire 122 are twisted at the overlapping portions, the first state of the figure 8 is first obtained, and when the upper and lower sides are held and folded in the first state, as shown in FIG. It may be a second state of overlapping ring shape. Due to this, the size of the water receiving device 100 for cleaning the wall-mounted air conditioner shown in FIG. 6 can be reduced to 1/2 and carried. Since the main body 110 is a thin film, when the wire part 120 is folded, the wire part 120 and the main body 110 are folded together.

The wall-mounted air conditioner cleaning gutter device described above is not limited to the configuration and method of the above-described embodiments, but all or part of each embodiment is selectively combined so that various modifications can be made. may be configured.
