Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly to the structure of a connecting device.

Conventional technology Conventionally, an air conditioner has a structure in which a humidifier is built into the cabinet body to humidify during heating, but if a humidifier is not required, the product becomes too large and the cost increases. When a humidifier is required, a method has been adopted in which a humidifier box with a drain pipe and saucer that can handle overflow water is connected to the main body of the air conditioner cabinet.

FIG. 6 shows a connection diagram of a conventional air conditioner cabinet and a humidifier box, and a drain pipe connection diagram.

In the figure, a is the cabinet body of the air conditioner, b is the air heat exchanger, and c is the air heat exchanger b.
d is the drain connection port for discharging condensed water, e is the humidifier box of the air conditioner, f is the humidifier, g is the outlet pipe for the overflow water of the humidifier, and h is the humidifier. A drain pan receives the overflow water from the vessel f, and i is a drain connection port for discharging the overflow water from the drain pan h. A cabinet body a of the air conditioner and a humidifier box d are connected by a seal plate j and a plurality of screws k.

Drain water from the cabinet body a and the humidifier box e of the air conditioner is drained by connecting pipes to the respective drain connection ports d and i, respectively.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The conventional connection method requires a seal plate j and a plurality of screws k to connect the air conditioner cabinet body a and the humidifier box d. In addition, the drain piping must be connected to the drain drain port d of the air conditioner cabinet body a and the drain drain port i of the humidifier box e, which makes connection work and drain pipe work troublesome. It was hot. In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention allows overflow water from the humidifier to be directed to the drain tray on the side of the air conditioner cabinet and drained from a single drain pipe port, and also simplifies connection work and drain piping work. The purpose of this project is to provide an air conditioner that can perform

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the air conditioner of the present invention includes a humidifier box equipped with a humidifier and an overflow water tray for receiving overflow water from the humidifier, and a drain drainage box. A cabinet body is provided with a drain tray having a pipe opening, and a plurality of hollow bolts are provided on one side of the drain tray and protrude outside the cabinet body, and are opposed to the plurality of hollow bolts in the humidifier box. A hole communicating with the overflow water receiver is provided at a position, and the plurality of hollow bolts connect the humidifier box and the cabinet main body, and the inside of the overflow water receiver is communicated with the inside of the drain receiver. ing.

Function The present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, by passing the hollow bolt provided in the drain tray of the cabinet main body of the air conditioner through the hole drilled in the tray on the humidifier box side, and fixing the hollow bolt with the rubber gasket and nut. By tightening and connecting the humidifier, overflow water from the humidifier passes through the hollow part of the bolt and is collected in the air conditioner's drain pan, allowing it to be drained from a single drainage pipe and allowing the units to be connected together. It is something.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the air conditioner coupling device of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

Fig. 1 shows a connection diagram of the air conditioner cabinet body and the humidifier box, where 1 is the air conditioner cabinet body, 2 is the humidifier box, and 3 is the air conditioner cabinet body.
Reference numeral 4 indicates a drain tray of the cabinet body 1 of the air conditioner, 4 an overflow water receiver for receiving overflow water from a humidifier box, and 5 a drain drain pipe opening of the cabinet body 1 of the air conditioner. A hollow bolt 6 welded to the drain pan 3 passes through a hole 7 made in the humidifier box 2 and reaches into the overflow water tray 4 of the humidifier box 2. The hollow bolt 6 is tightened with a rubber gasket 8 and a nut 9 to prevent water from leaking from the surrounding area. Moreover, the upper part has a Z metal fitting 11 that is hooked on the opening 10 of the air conditioner 1, and a sealing material 12.
Even if the humidifier 13 housed in the humidifier box 2 is humidified during operation and overflow water flows out from the outlet pipe of the overflow water, it will not accumulate in the overflow water receiving tray 4.
The accumulated water passes through the hollow part of the hollow bolt 6, flows into the drain pan 3 of the cabinet body 1 of the air conditioner, and can be drained from the drain drain pipe port 5. Figure 2 shows the cabinet body 1 of the air conditioner.
This is a perspective view of the connection surface, showing that the hollow bolt 6 is welded to the drain tray 3 and protrudes outside the fuselage. Figure 3 is a structural diagram of the humidifier box 3 side, showing the sealing material 12 pasted around the connection surface, the Z metal fitting 11 hooked onto the opening surface 10 of the air conditioner cabinet body 1, and the overflow water tray 4. A hole 7 is shown passing through the humidifier box. Fig. 4 shows the component parts of the drain tray 3 of the cabinet body 1 of the air conditioner and the overflow water tray 4 of the humidifier box 2, where 6 is a hollow bolt, 7 is a through hole, and 8 is a hollow bolt.
is a rubber pad, and 9 is a nut. Figure 5 shows
A connected sectional view of the drain tray 3 and the overflow water tray 4 is shown, and the reference numerals are the same as in FIG. 4. As described above, the cabinet body 1 of the air conditioner of the present invention is constructed by guiding the overflow water from the humidifier 13 of the humidifier box 2 to the drain tray 3 using the hollow bolt 6, and by using the hollow bolt 6 as a connecting member. Construction work can be simplified.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, the cabinet is equipped with a humidifier box equipped with a humidifier and an overflow water tray for receiving overflow water from the humidifier, and a drain tray with a drain drain pipe opening. a main body, a plurality of hollow bolts protruding outside the cabinet main body are provided on one side of the drain receiver, and a plurality of hollow bolts are provided in the humidifier box at a position opposite to the plurality of hollow bolts, communicating with the inside of the overflow water receiver. A drainage pipe dedicated to the humidifier box is provided by providing a hole and connecting the humidifier box and the cabinet main body with the plurality of hollow bolts and communicating the inside of the overflow water tray and the inside of the drain tray. Since it is not necessary and also serves as a connecting member, there is no need for a seal plate or a plurality of screws as a connecting member as in the past, which has the effect of simplifying construction work.
