Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner of the type embedded in a part of a wall.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an air conditioner which is buried in an upper wall portion of a room to be conditioned is known (for example, an actual air conditioner 2-
62319). In this type, a grill has an opening on a wall surface, and the indoor air is sucked in from the grill and the conditioned air is blown out into the room.

[0003]

However, in the conventional structure, since the air conditioner is buried in the wall portion having the grill, a part of the wall may be disassembled or the wall may be disassembled during service inspection and replacement of the air conditioner. There is a problem that service inspection work must be performed from the opening in the wall. In addition, since this type of air conditioner has an installation space secured in advance at the time of designing a building, there is a problem that the air conditioner cannot be embedded in a room to be conditioned that does not have the installation space. .

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to install a so-called housing type air conditioner even in a room to be conditioned where an installation space for the air conditioner is not secured in advance. It is to provide an air conditioner that does not need to be disassembled and is easy to perform service inspection.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an air conditioner installed in a room to be conditioned, the air conditioner being mounted on the wall surface of the room to be conditioned, and the air conditioner. And a decorative panel forming a part of the wall surface of the conditioned room.

[0006]

According to the present invention, after the air conditioner is mounted on the wall surface of the room to be conditioned via the mounting member, the decorative panel is mounted via the panel mounting member so as to cover the outside of the air conditioner. Since this decorative panel forms a part of the wall surface of the room to be conditioned after it is installed, this air conditioner can be installed by so-called retrofitting work without securing the installation space of the air conditioner in the building in advance. It is possible to provide the same exterior wall surface appearance as that of the embedded type (housing air conditioner).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper space of the conditioned room. An air conditioner 3 is installed in the upper space 1, and a decorative panel 5 forming a part of the wall of the conditioned room is installed so as to hide the air conditioner 3.

The air conditioner 3 is supported by a mounting member 9 provided on the upper surface of the wall surface 7 of the conditioned room.
Panel mounting members 11 are mounted on both sides of the above, and the decorative panel 5 is supported by the panel mounting members 11.

Referring to FIG. 2 in detail, the air conditioner 3 is supported so as to form a suction space 13 with the wall surface 7.

The air conditioner 3 is of a known type, in which a heat exchanger 23 is arranged in a slender shape inside a main body 21, and a blower fan 25 is arranged downstream thereof. The blower fan 25 is used in a suction type, and has a mechanism in which the room air is sucked from the upper surface and the back surface of the main body 21 through a plurality of holes 27 formed in the main body 21 and is blown out from a blowout hole 29 in the lower front surface. There is.

However, according to this embodiment, the decorative panel 5 is attached so as to hide the air conditioner 3. The decorative panel 5 has a blowout hole 31 corresponding to the blowout hole 29 of the main body 21. When the decorative panel 5 is attached, the decorative panel 5 constitutes a part of the wall on the interior.

Therefore, it is desirable to attach a printing sheet or the like having the same color or a similar color to the wall color of the room to be conditioned on the panel surface of the decorative panel 5. In addition, it is desirable to consider attaching printing sheets for Japanese-style rooms and Western-style rooms.

The decorative panel 5 is constructed so as to extend over the width of the room to be conditioned, and in the left and right spaces where the air conditioner 3 does not exist, for example, a ventilation fan or an AV speaker (not shown).
It has a structure that allows you to attach items such as.

According to such a structure, first, the air conditioner 3 as a housing type air conditioner can be installed as a so-called retrofit work without securing an installation space in advance when designing a building.

Further, even if the service of the air conditioner 3 is inspected, the decorative panel 5 can be detached from the panel mounting member 11, so that carpentry work such as breaking down a part of the wall as in the conventional case is required. Since it is unnecessary, maintenance and the like is extremely easy.

Further, by making the decorative panel 5 so that it can be seen as a part of the wall, it is possible to obtain an appearance similar to that of a housing type air conditioner at low cost.
It is possible to easily provide a truly high-class housing-like appearance.

[0018]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, in the air conditioner installed in the room to be conditioned, the air conditioner having a built-in heat exchanger or blower and attached to the wall surface of the room to be conditioned. And a decorative panel that covers the air conditioner and forms a part of the wall surface of the conditioned room, facilitates maintenance and provides a low-cost, high-class housing-like appearance. Has various effects.
