Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an air filter mounting device for an air conditioner that cools or heats a room to prevent dew from falling from a heat exchanger from falling outside the air conditioner. be.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, this type of air conditioner has been configured to blow air through an air filter 4 from a suction port 3 at the bottom of the back surface using a blower fan 2 inside the air conditioner main body 1, as shown in FIG. The air which has been heat exchanged by the heat exchanger 5 is blown out from the blow-off port 6. At this time, if the temperature of the heat exchanger 5 is lower than the dew point temperature of the intake air, dew will condense on the heat exchanger 5, and the water will flow through the heat exchanger 5, be received by the water tray 7 at the bottom of the heat exchanger 5, and go outside. be discharged.

However, with this structure, when the slope of the heat exchanger 5 is increased, the water condensed on the upper part of the heat exchanger 5 cannot be completely transmitted to the heat exchanger 5, and is directly transferred to the air filter 4.
There is a problem that the heat exchanger 5 falls from the lower part of the air filter 4 to the outside of the air conditioner body 1.
There was also the problem that restrictions were added to the slope of the slope.

In addition, as a countermeasure, if the water tray 7 is made larger to the left, dripping from the air conditioner body 1 can be prevented, but because the water tray 7 is made larger, air flow from the bottom of the air conditioner body 1 is obstructed, resulting in a decrease in performance. There were also problems such as the occurrence of

OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and one of the objects of the present invention is to prevent condensed water from dripping out of the water tray from the main body of an air conditioner.

Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention is configured such that the lower end of the air filter attached to the lower part of the heat exchanger is inserted into the water tray.

With this configuration, even if the heat exchanger is tilted significantly, it is possible to prevent condensed water from dripping outside the air conditioner main body.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 2.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 denotes the main body of the air conditioner, with a suction port 9 provided at the bottom of the back surface, and an air outlet 10 provided at the top of the front surface.
is provided. Further, the air circuit inside the air conditioner body 8 is equipped with an air filter 11 whose surface has been subjected to water-repellent treatment, a heat exchanger 12, and a blower fan 13, and a water tray 14 that receives condensed water.
is provided at the bottom of the heat exchanger 12. The flow of the wind is as shown by the arrow. Here, the lower part of the air filter 11 fits inside the water tray 14. Furthermore, the air filter 11 may be made of a water-repellent material to provide the air filter 11 with a water-repellent effect.

In the above configuration, when performing cooling operation,
A portion of the water condensed in the heat exchanger 12 is transferred to the heat exchanger 12.
The water is collected in the water tray 14 at the bottom of the heat exchanger 12. In addition, a portion is directly dripped from the heat exchanger 12 and flows into the air filter 11. The water then passes through the air filter 11 and is collected in the water tray 14.

Therefore, no matter how inclined the heat exchanger 12 is, all the condensed water that drips from the heat exchanger 12 is caught by the air filter 11 and collected in the water tray 14, so that it does not drip from the air conditioner main body 8. There will be nothing left to do. Furthermore, the water-repellent action of the air filter 11 ensures that the condensed water flows down, making the dripping action even more reliable.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, the present invention provides an air conditioner in which a suction port, a heat exchanger, and an air filter are provided at an angle in order to widen the area of suction air. By locating the heat exchanger in the opposite direction, condensed water from the heat exchanger will not drip into the air conditioner body, and the slope of the heat exchanger can be set freely, and design conditions are not restricted. be effective.

Furthermore, if a water-repellent air filter is used, the effect will be more reliable.
