Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a case where when the indoor side outlet door is cooled by the cool air blown from the indoor side outlet during cooling and dew condensation occurs on the surface of the door, The present invention relates to a dew condensation treatment device for an air conditioner, which enables operation to continue without dropping.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional dew condensation treatment configuration of an air conditioner is shown in FIGS.
Shown in the figure.

In the figure, 1 is an indoor side air outlet, and 2 is a front grill. Reference numeral 3 denotes an indoor side outlet left / right deflection blade (hereinafter, referred to as left / right deflection blade), and 4 is an indoor side outlet port (hereinafter, referred to as outlet port). Reference numeral 5 is an operation panel.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the air conditioner showing a state in which the outlet door 4 is closed, and FIG. 6 is a state in which the door 4 is opened. In this example, the left and right deflection blades 3 and the outlet door 4 are connected, and in the state shown in FIG. 5, the outlet door 4 is rotated to the left if the blown air is directed to the left, and to the right if it is directed to the right. Was there.

However, in the above-described configuration, when the air outlet door 4 is closed or is about to be closed during the cooling operation, the air outlet door 4 blows out from the indoor side air outlet 1. Cooled from the back side by cold air. When the surface temperature of the outlet door 4 becomes lower than the dew point, dew occurs on the surface of the outlet door 4.

The dew generated in this way passes through the outlet door 4 and descends,
There is a problem in that it drips into the room or reaches the operation panel 5 by further connecting the front grille 1 and enters the electric circuit section through the gap of the switch or the like to cause a short circuit or other failure.

In view of the above problems, the present invention has dew generated on the surface of the outlet door,
An air conditioner that does not drip into a room or enter an electric circuit or the like.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the dew condensation treatment device for an air conditioner of the present invention is provided in a lower portion of an outlet door, and a dew tray having a drainage hole in a part of its bottom surface, and a front surface. It is provided below the air outlet door of the grill and has a gutter extending to the water tray.

Effect According to the present invention, when the dew condensation occurs on the surface of the outlet door, the dew tray at the lower portion of the outlet door receives the dew flowing along the surface of the outlet door, and the water remaining in the dew tray is absorbed by the dew tray. From the drainage hole on the bottom, drop it into a gutter extending to the water tray provided on the front grill below the dew tray, and collect it in the water tray by connecting it.

As a result, it is possible to prevent the dew drop from entering the room and from entering the power supply unit.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is an indoor air outlet, and 2 is a front grill. 4 is an indoor side outlet door (hereinafter referred to as an outlet door), 5
Is an operation panel. 6 is a dew tray, and 7 is a gutter. FIG. 1 shows an enlarged see-through state of the lower portion of the outlet door 4.

In the figure, 8 is a drainage hole on the bottom of the dew tray. The drain hole 8 is always located above the gutter 7 even when the outlet door 4 is open, so that the drain hole 8 is on the bottom side of the dew tray 6 on the side opposite to the side where the outlet door 4 is opened (right side in FIG. 1). ) Is provided.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the air conditioner of this embodiment, and 9 in the figure is a water tray. Reference numeral 10 is an outer frame of the main body, 11 is an indoor heat exchanger, and 12 is an outdoor heat exchanger.

The operation of the above configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The dew condensed on the surface of the outlet door 4 flows along the surface of the outlet door 4 into the dew tray 6. The water remaining in the dew tray 6 drips from the drain hole 8 at the bottom of the dew tray, but the drain hole 8 is provided at a position that is always above the gutter 7 regardless of the open state of the outlet door 4. Therefore, all the water dripped from the drain hole 8 is collected in the gutter 7 and flows into the water receiving tray 9 through the gutter 7.

By the operation described above, it is possible to prevent the dew that has condensed on the surface of the outlet door 4 from dripping into the room and from entering the power supply unit and the like.

In this embodiment, the outlet door 4 can be easily opened and closed by hooking a fingertip on the front wall surface of the dew tray 6 and pinching it.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
By attaching a and making a hook between this and your fingertip,
It is possible to easily open and close the outlet door 4 with one fingertip without impairing the appearance of the outlet door 4.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As described above, the present invention collects the dew condensed on the surface of the outlet door in the dew tray, collects the dew in the gutter, and collects the dew in the room and the power supply unit. Can easily be prevented from entering.
