Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly to a mounting device for a condensation pan.

A conventional air conditioner is constructed as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. That is, in FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a frame, 2 is a heat exchanger attached to the frame, and these frame 1 and heat exchanger 2 have a predetermined width in a direction horizontally crossing an air passage 6, which will be described later. have. 3 is a cold water pipe connected to the inlet/outlet of the heat exchanger 2; 4 is attached to the lower part of the frame 1 via an L-shaped mounting bracket 41; It is a dew receiving tray having a receiving dimension A on both sides, provided with drain ports 42 and 43, and attached at an angle to the drain port 42 side. Here, drain port 43
is for use in the case of reverse piping and is normally closed by a plug 44. 5 is a blower attached to the rear of the frame 1; 6 is a wind cylinder having an intake grill 7 and an outlet grill 8; and is attached to the frame 1 to form a flow of air to the heat exchanger 2.

In the conventional air conditioner configured as described above, indoor air is sent from the suction grill 7 to the heat exchanger 2 via the wind barrel 6. This air exchanges heat with cold water in the heat exchanger 2, becomes cold air, and is sent into the room from the blow-off grill 8 through the wind cylinder 6, thereby cooling the room.

Further, the water dehumidified by the heat exchanger 2 falls into the dew pan 4 at the bottom of the frame and is discharged outdoors from the drain port 42.

By the way, since it is generally necessary for an air conditioner to be able to freely change the piping direction to the left or right depending on the installation situation, the dew pan 4 has an extra dimension A on the opposite side of the piping 3, so that the opposite piping can be changed. However, the dimension A on the opposite side of the pipe is actually a waste, and the installation area becomes large, and the cost of packaging and shipping costs increases. There were flaws.

This invention was made with attention to this point, and aims to provide an air conditioner in which the width of the dew pan is reduced and the left and right piping can be changed.

An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9. That is, in FIGS. 4 to 9, 1, 2, 4, and 5 indicate the same or equivalent parts as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. Reference numeral 9 denotes an auxiliary dew pan that is slightly larger than the heat exchanger 2 and the frame 1.
A side surface 92 and a main surface 9 extending substantially perpendicular to the
1, and an inclined surface 93 extending at an angle θ° with respect to the main surface 91.
A letter-shaped latch 10 is welded.

Note that, as shown in FIG. 6, one of the pair of fittings 41 has an inclined portion 411 extending at an angle of θ° at one end of the L-shape. In addition, the dew saucer 4
The width of the product shall be large enough to catch the dew at the longest part of the product body.

In the structure configured in this way, the dew pan 4
When attaching it to frame 1, attach it to frame 1 in the same way as the conventional one. Next, the auxiliary dew tray 9
At the site, as shown in FIG. 9, the inclined surface 93 of the auxiliary dew pan 9 is inserted between the dew pan 4 and the fitting 41, and the latch 10 is hooked inside the dew pan 4 to fix it. In addition, when changing the piping direction, simply change the position of the mounting hole of the mounting bracket 41 of the dew pan 4 and change the stopper 44 at the same time as replacing the auxiliary dew pan 9, as in the past. It can catch dew from the piping in the opposite direction.

Since the auxiliary dew pan 9 is removably attached to the dew pan 4 in this way, the width is smaller than that of the conventional dew pan, which reduces the installation area and saves on packaging and shipping costs. It has excellent practical effects such as:

In addition, since the slope 93 of the auxiliary dew pan 9 is engaged between the dew pan 4 and the inclined part 411 of the mounting bracket 41, and the latch 10 is hooked on the inside of the dew pan 4, it can be easily fixed with screws, etc. It is not necessary and has the effect of being able to be firmly fixed without moving back and forth or left or right.

As mentioned above, the air conditioner according to this invention is
A dew pan slightly larger than the heat exchanger and frame is placed below the heat exchanger, and an auxiliary dew pan is placed below the cold water arrangement that supplies cold water to the heat exchanger. It is designed to be detachably attached to the container, making the dew pan smaller and easier to handle.
