Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a structure of an emergency switch lid in an indoor unit for an air conditioner that can be removed by sliding operation in an emergency to operate the emergency switch. Regarding improvements.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, in an indoor unit for an air conditioner, a switch inlet is opened at the top of one side of the front of the indoor unit body, and an emergency switch that is operated in an emergency is installed inside the switch inlet. An emergency switch lid is disposed at the opening of the switch loading inlet so as to cover the emergency switch so as to be flush with the surface of the indoor unit main body and to be removable by sliding upward. Furthermore, a handle or protrusion is provided on the lid surface of the emergency switch, and
A hook-shaped engagement piece is integrally formed on the back, and the above-mentioned emergency switch cover is locked to the indoor unit by locking the engagement piece to a locking part provided inside the indoor unit. On the other hand, in case of an emergency, the engagement between the engaging piece and the locking part can be released by sliding the emergency switch lid by placing one's finger on the handle or protrusion.
By removing the emergency switch cover,
Those that enable the operation of emergency switches are known.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional device, since a handle or protrusion for sliding operation is provided on the surface of the emergency switch lid, the presence of the switch lid is conscious and the user does not normally use it. Even though the switch has a switch lid, there is a problem in that the user carelessly opens the switch lid and accidentally operates the emergency switch. Additionally, there was a problem in that the handle or protrusion spoiled the design.

On the other hand, in an emergency, when instructing a user to operate the emergency switch, the handle or protrusion is designed so that it can be easily seen at a glance. There was a problem that it had no distinctive features and was difficult to indicate as a landmark.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and the name plate protruding from the surface of the emergency switch lid has the function of a handle for the emergency switch lid, thereby making it possible to slide the emergency switch lid. While ensuring operability,
Normally, the presence of the emergency switch lid is not made conscious to prevent the emergency switch from being operated incorrectly, and the emergency switch lid is characterized to help users understand how to operate the emergency switch in an emergency. The purpose is to facilitate instructions and to enhance the design and decorative design effects of indoor units.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve this object, the solution means of the present invention is to install a switch charging port 4 at the upper part of the front side of the main body of the indoor unit 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. is opened, and an emergency switch to be operated in an emergency is disposed in the switch inlet 4, and an emergency switch lid 5 is provided at the opening of the switch inlet 4 to cover the emergency switch. is disposed flush with the surface of the main body of the indoor unit 1 and can be removed by sliding upward, and in an emergency, the emergency switch lid 5 can be removed.
In an indoor unit for an air conditioner in which the emergency switch can be operated by removing it by a sliding operation, a nameplate 11 is provided on the surface of the emergency switch lid 5 with a step on the surface of the lid 5. It shall be attached so that it protrudes.

(Function) As a result, the nameplate 11 on the surface of the emergency switch lid 5, preferably the unevenness 10 provided on the surface, has the function of a handle, making it easy to slide the emergency switch lid 5. At the same time, the design of the nameplate 11 makes the presence of the emergency switch cover 5 invisible, but on the other hand, it characterizes its placement position.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

1 and 2 show embodiments of the present invention, 1
is an indoor unit for an air conditioner, and the indoor unit 1 is provided with a suction grill 2 on the front of the main body for sucking indoor air, and a blow-off grill 3 for blowing out cold or warm air for air conditioning and heating at the lower part of the front. There is. In addition, a switch loading port 4 is opened at the upper right side of the front surface of the indoor unit 1 body, and a switch loading port 4 is provided in the switch loading port 4 for emergency situations in which the indoor unit 1 does not operate due to a malfunction of the operating switch or protection device of the indoor unit 1. an emergency switch (not shown) that is operated at a certain time to enable operation of the indoor unit 1;
is installed. Furthermore, the emergency switch lid 5 is disposed at the opening of the switch inlet 4 so as to be flush with the surface of the main body of the indoor unit 1 and can be removed by sliding upward.

As shown in FIG. 2, the emergency switch lid 5 has a claw-shaped first engagement piece 6 integrally formed on the upper end, and a hook-shaped second engagement piece 7 integrally formed on the lower back side. The first engaging piece 6 is fitted into a fitting part 8 provided at the upper end of the switch inlet 4 of the main body of the indoor unit 1, and the second engaging piece 7 is provided at the lower part of the switch inlet 4. The second engaging piece 7 is locked to the main body of the indoor unit 1 by being engaged with the engaging part 9, and the engagement state between the second engaging piece 7 and the engaging part 9 can be released by performing a sliding operation in an emergency. At the same time, it is configured to release the fitted state between the first engaging piece 6 and the fitting part 8 and remove it from the main body of the indoor unit 1, thereby making it possible to operate the emergency switch. .

A name plate 11 having an uneven surface 10 is attached to the surface of the emergency switch lid 5 so as to protrude from the surface of the lid 5 with a step.

Next, to explain the operation of the above embodiment,
In an emergency, the emergency switch lid 5 can be easily slid by placing a finger on the name plate 1 protruding from the surface of the emergency switch lid 5 or the unevenness 10 on the surface of the name plate 11 as a handle. The emergency switch can be operated by removing the emergency switch cover 5.

In this case, the above-mentioned emergency switch lid 5
Since there are no usual handles or protrusions on the surface and only a nameplate 11 is provided that enhances the design, the design of the indoor unit 1 is improved.
The decorative design effect can be enhanced, and the user is not made aware of the existence of the emergency switch lid 5, so that the user can inadvertently open the emergency switch lid 5 and operate the emergency switch. can be prevented from happening.

In addition, the nameplate 11 is located on the front of the indoor unit 1 and has distinctive features such as shape, color, and pattern that can be recognized at a glance, and is very conspicuous as a landmark. The placement position of the sea switch lid 5 can be easily indicated.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, according to the present invention, a name plate is preferably provided on the surface of the emergency switch lid, which can be removed by sliding operation in an emergency to enable operation of the emergency switch. Since the nameplate with unevenness is provided in a step-like manner, the nameplate or the unevenness on its surface has the function of a handle, ensuring good sliding operability of the emergency switch lid. The design does not make the user aware of the existence of the emergency switch lid, which helps prevent accidental operation of the emergency switch, and in the event of an emergency, the nameplate makes it easy to instruct the user where to place the emergency switch lid. Moreover, the design of the indoor unit and the decorative design effect can be improved.
