Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention relates to a rear grill structure of an air conditioner that cools a room and has a function of evaporating condensed water generated in the evaporator by passing it through the condenser. It is.

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, air conditioners have been improved so that they can be easily installed, and in particular, air conditioners that do not require drain work have been developed in which condensed water is completely evaporated by passing it through a condenser.

An example of the conventional condensed water treatment device mentioned above will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Conventionally, the rear structure of this type of air conditioner was disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-22017 or Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 57-2011.
This is shown in Publication No. 104065.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the wire mesh 4
A configuration is adopted in which the condenser 2 is protected.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, condensed water is scattered by a disk 5 driven by a motor 6, and the scattered water droplets are attached to the condenser 2, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 2 by using the latent heat of evaporation. A configuration is known that allows this.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with the above configuration, water droplets that hit the condenser 2 bounce off the condenser 2 due to the coarseness of the wire mesh 4, splashing out of the air conditioner body, and hitting passersby. A problem occurs. Furthermore, if a large space is provided for the water droplets to scatter in order to prevent this, there is a problem in that the main body of the air conditioner becomes larger.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the air conditioner of the present invention is provided with a water splash prevention plate made of a resin material or the like in the vicinity of the rotating disk in the rear grille.

Function: With the above-described configuration, the present invention prevents large water droplets that fly out directly or water droplets that bounce off the condenser from flying out of the air conditioner body using a water splash prevention plate.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the air conditioner main body as seen from the rear, and FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the bottom of the air conditioner.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, 4 is a water splash prevention plate provided near the rotating disk 1, and 7 is a blowout grill. 2 is a condenser, 8 is an outdoor cross flow fan, 10 is an air guider that separates the indoor and outdoor sides of the air conditioner body, 11 is a stabilizer on the outdoor side, and 12 is an outer box that is equipped with an outlet grill and a suction grill. 13 is a control unit, 9 is a compressor, 14 is a soundproof plate, 15 is a motor for driving the rotating disk 1, 16 is a board, and 17 is a rear grill.

The structure of the rear grill 17 of the air conditioner configured as described above will be explained together with its operation.

Condensed water generated in the evaporator is guided to the condenser 2 and collected on the substrate 16. The condensed water that has accumulated on the substrate 16 is scattered upward by the rotating disk 1 that rotates at high speed, is applied to the condenser 2, and is evaporated. At this time, the heat exchange rate of the condenser 2 is increased by absorbing the latent heat of vaporization from the condenser 2. Large water droplets or water droplets that hit the condenser 2 and splash back are removed by the water splash prevention plate 4
This prevents it from flying outside the room.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the rear grill 1
By providing the water splash prevention plate 4 at 7, it is possible to prevent water droplets scattered by the rotating disk 1 from being scattered to the outdoor side.

Effects of the invention As described above, by installing a water splash prevention plate, the present invention can prevent the condensed water splashed in the condenser from splashing to the outside of the room, and eliminates the problem of water splashing on passersby. can do. Moreover, there is no need to increase the size of the air conditioner itself.
