Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a front grill of an indoor unit of an air conditioner.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in an indoor unit, a rectangular recessed space 1 for storing a remote controller (hereinafter referred to as a recessed space) shown in FIG. 4 is provided in a power supply plate cover portion on the right side of a front grill.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention The conventional recessed space 1 is separated from the ventilation circuit. Further, with the downsizing of the indoor unit, the clearance between the indoor heat exchanger 6 and the recessed space 1 becomes narrower, and during the cooling operation, the cooling air of the indoor heat exchanger 6 causes the surrounding air ( There is a problem in that the wind in the ventilation circuit is cooled, and due to the difference between the cold air and the ambient temperature in the recess space, dew condensation occurs in the recess space and the remote controller gets wet with dew condensation water.

In view of such a point, the present invention aims to prevent dew condensation in the recess space.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a slit for preventing dew condensation by integral molding on a side surface of a recess space.

Operation The present invention, due to the above-described configuration, acts to prevent dew condensation in the recess space by eliminating the difference between the temperature of the cool air cooled by the cold radiation of the indoor heat exchanger and the ambient temperature in the recess space. .

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 8 denotes slits integrally formed on the left side surface of the recess space 1 at equal intervals. FIG. 1 is a front view in which the front grill 3 provided with the slits 8 is attached to the underframe 4 to which the heat exchanger 6 is fixed,
In the mounted state, the lower right end of the heat exchanger 6 and the recess space 1 are adjacent to each other. However, since the slits 8 are provided at equal intervals on the left side surface of the recess space 1, the air on the side of the heat exchanger 6 and the recess space 1 communicate with each other, and the temperature of the cool air due to the cold radiation of the heat exchanger 6 and the recess space It is possible to make the ambient temperature inside 1 uniform and prevent dew condensation in the recess space 1.

If the above configuration is not followed, a sufficient distance between the heat exchanger 6 and the remote control housing side wall must be provided. With the above configuration, however, the distance between the heat exchanger 6 and the remote control housing side wall can be shortened, and the size can be reduced. The indoor unit can be provided.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The present invention has a structure in which a slit is integrally formed on the left side surface of a recessed space for storing a remote controller provided in a front grill in an indoor unit of an air conditioner. With this, the cold air temperature due to the cold radiation of the heat exchanger can be made uniform, and the effect of preventing dew condensation in the recess space can be obtained. Further, with the above configuration, the distance between the heat exchanger and the remote control storage wall can be shortened, and the indoor unit can be designed to be compact.
