Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field of the Invention) The present invention relates to a window type air conditioner, and more particularly to a drain drainage device for discharging drain water generated in an evaporator.

(Technical background of the invention and its problems) Conventionally, in an air conditioner of the type that eliminates the need to go outdoors, the air conditioner is It was necessary to connect one end of the drain hose c to a drain outlet b provided at the bottom of the machine a, and place the other end in a drain receptacle d provided outdoors.

Attaching and detaching such a drain hose is not only a very troublesome and complicated task, but also requires storage of the drain hose when the air conditioner is not being operated.

(Purpose of the invention) Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a window type air conditioner that does not require attaching or detaching a drain hose or storing the drain hose.

(Summary of the invention) The invention has a drain gutter that rotates in conjunction with the opening and closing of the window and communicates with the drain outlet of the air conditioner to discharge drain water outdoors when the window is opened. It is a feature.

(Embodiment of the invention) Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 2 shows a drain drainage device 1 for an air conditioner embodying the present invention. The air conditioner 2 is mounted on an outer frame 4 and a support stand 5 so that it does not protrude from the window 3 (see Figure 3).
When the air conditioner 2 is in operation, the window 3 is opened, and when the air conditioner is not in operation, the window 3 is closed. 6 is a drain outlet formed at the bottom of the air conditioner 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes a drain gutter, one end of which is pivotally connected to the bottom of the air conditioner 2 via a pivot shaft 9, so that the receiver 8 can receive the drain from the drain outlet 6. Drain gutter 7
A gutter portion 10 is provided to protrude from the socket 8 of the holder. 11 is a drain receiver.

The drain gutter 7 is provided with an urging means 13 for rotating the drain port 12 from the air conditioner 2. This means 13, as shown in FIG. , the spring 15 is the window 3
It is constructed so that it contracts when the window 3 is opened, and is expanded by the window when the window 3 is closed. This means 13 is also preferably provided with a stopper 16 and a corresponding stopper pin 17 implanted in the support 5 to ensure the positioning of the drain opening 11.

The operation of the device of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be explained.

The window 3 is opened when the air conditioner 2 is operated. When the window is opened, the drain gutter 7 is pulled by the coil spring 15 and rotates clockwise about the pivot shaft 9. As a result, drain gutter 7
A socket 8 of the air conditioner 2 is located below the drain outlet 6 of the air conditioner 2, and a drain outlet 12 of the drain gutter 7 faces the drain receiver 11 outside the window.

The position of this drain port 12 is the stopper pin 17.
This is ensured by the structure in which the stopper 16 hits the.
These relationships are clearly illustrated by the drain gutter 10 shown in solid lines in FIG.

After the drain drainage system from the drain outlet 6 to the drain receiver 11 via the drain gutter 7 is established in this way, the air conditioner 2 starts operating. Drain generated from the air conditioner 2 during operation is drained from the drain outlet 6 through the drain gutter 7 to the drain receiver 11.

When air conditioner 2 no longer needs to be operated, window 3
is closed. When closing the window, the gutter portion 10 of the drain gutter 7 is pushed forward by the window 3 against the tensile force of the coil spring 15, and the drain gutter 7 moves counterclockwise around the pivot shaft 9. Rotated. The gutter 7 is rotated to the position indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 3 and remains in that position. That is, the drain gutter 7 is stored below the bottom of the air conditioner 2.

In this way, the drain gutter 7 can automatically open its drain port 12 into the drain receiver 11 in response to opening the window when the air conditioner 2 is in operation, and can open the drain outlet 12 into the drain pan 11 after the air conditioner 2 has stopped operating. Since it can be automatically stored below the bottom of the air conditioner 2 in response to the closing of the air conditioner, there is no need for the complicated attachment and detachment of the drain hose as in the past. In addition, there is no need to store the drain hose, and there is no need to provide an external storage space, eliminating the risk of its loss.

In the above embodiment, an example was explained in which the drain gutter 7 is pulled by the coil spring 15, but a spiral spring is provided around the pivot shaft 9,
One end thereof may be fixed to the support stand or the bottom of the air conditioner 2, and the other end may be fixed to the drain gutter 7.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the above description, the invention provides the following effects.

(1) Since the drain gutter rotates in conjunction with the opening and closing of the window, it is possible to open and close the window without having to perform attachment/detachment work.

(2) When the window is opened, the drain receiver of the drain gutter is automatically rotated and placed below the drain outlet of the air conditioner in conjunction with the opening of the window, so that the drain water generated by the evaporator can be reliably drained. Can be discharged outdoors.

(3) There is no need to store the drain hose separately, and there is no risk of powder loss.
