Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of a front cover of an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As an air conditioner, there is a wind type that is attached to a window of a building. In this type of air conditioner, as shown in FIG. 3, a suction grill 12 including a plurality of horizontal rails is provided on the front surface of the air conditioner body 11, and the suction grill 12
A front cover 18 having an insertion opening 14 used for taking in and out an air filter 13 arranged at the rear of the air outlet, an air outlet 16 provided with a plurality of wind direction adjusting plates 15, and an operation panel 17.
Is installed.

[0003]

However, in the above structure, when a large amount of dust is attached to the air filter 13 when the air filter 13 is taken out, the dust is inserted into the insertion port 14 It may touch the rear part of the side suction grill 12 and fall, and may be accumulated in the machine or scattered in the room. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner that does not cause such a problem.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a suction grill is provided on one front side of a front cover of an air conditioner main body, and at the rear of the suction grill. An air conditioner having an air filter insertion port provided at the center and a plurality of air flow direction adjusting plates on the other side, and an operation panel, wherein the suction grill and the air filter insertion port are provided. A filter cover that is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable is provided between the and, and a removable dust container is provided at the lower portion of the inner surface of the filter cover, and a projection is provided between the upper and lower inner surfaces.

[0005]

With the above construction, by opening the filter cover when the air filter is taken in and out, the insertion opening of the air filter is widened, so that the air filter can be easily taken in and out, and dust can be removed from the machine when taking it out. You can take out the air filter without dropping it, and
If the air filter is taken out with the filter cover closed, the protrusions provided between the upper and lower inner surfaces of the filter cover can drop the dust on the surface of the air filter into the lower dust receiving container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a wind-type air conditioner, where 1 is an air conditioner main body and 2 is a front cover. Although not shown, the inside of the air conditioner main body 1 is partitioned by a partition plate into an indoor unit side having the front cover 2 and a rear outdoor unit side. The indoor unit side has an indoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger. An indoor fan or the like for delivering the air heat-exchanged by the exchanger to the room is arranged, and a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, a throttle means for adjusting the refrigerant flow rate on the rear outdoor unit side,
An outdoor fan is installed.

On the front surface of the front cover 2, there are provided a suction grill 3 composed of a plurality of crosspieces, an insertion opening 5 for inserting and removing an air filter 4 arranged behind the suction grill 3, and a plurality of wind direction adjusting plates 6. There is an air outlet 7, an operation panel 8, and a filter cover 9 provided especially in this embodiment. The filter cover 9 is pivotably supported on one side near the suction grill 3 so as to be openable and closable, and has a removable dust container 10 at the lower inner surface and a protrusion 9a between the upper and lower inner surfaces. This protrusion 9a is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, it comes into contact with the air filter 4.

The air filter 4 can be taken in and out with the filter cover 9 open as shown in FIG. 1 or with the filter cover 9 closed as shown in FIG. Since the filter 4 can be easily taken in and out and contact with the rear end surface of the suction grill 3 is reduced, when the air filter 4 is taken out, the dust attached to the air filter 4 can be taken out without dropping into the machine. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the filter cover 9
If the air filter 4 is taken out with the
The dust adhering to the air filter 4 falls by the action of a, but since the dust receiving container 10 is provided in the lower part, it can be stored in this container 10 and the container 10 can be removed, so The dust accumulated in the container 10 can be easily discarded.

[0009]

If the air conditioner provided with the filter cover and the container for the dust as described above,
When removing the air filter, even if dust falls inside, it collects in the dust receiving container.
The dust is not scattered inside the machine or inside the room and is sanitary.The dust container can be removed for easy post-processing, and the filter cover can be opened when installing or removing the air filter. For example, the insertion port of the air filter is widened, making it easy to take in and out the air filter, which is convenient.
