Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an indoor unit of a separation type air conditioner in which an outdoor unit and an indoor unit are installed separately.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as an air conditioner, a separation type air conditioner in which an outdoor unit and an indoor unit are separated from each other has become widespread, and the indoor unit is mainly a wall-mounted type.

A conventional wall-hanging type indoor unit will be described below with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the front panel 1 is attached to the front of the underframe 101 of the indoor unit.
02, the inside of the underframe 101 is provided with an air conditioning member (not shown) such as a blower, a heat exchanger, and piping forming a refrigerant circuit, and the bottom surface 103 of the underframe 101 and the underframe are provided in a lower portion. A space 105 formed by the back surface 104 of 101 is provided, and an auxiliary pipe 106 connected to an outdoor unit (not shown) and a drain hose 107 for draining the drain are housed in this space 105.

Further, a hooking portion 111 on which the receiving portion 110 of the installation plate 109 attached to the wall 108 for fixing the indoor unit to the wall 108 is hooked is provided on the upper rear portion of the underframe 101, and Space 10 at the lower rear
On the upper part of 5, there was formed a float holding portion 113 with which a pawl 112 provided on the installation plate 109 engages.

When the indoor unit is attached to the wall 108, the installation plate 109 is fixed to the wall 108, and the receiving portion 110 of the installation plate 109 is provided with the hook portion 11 provided on the underframe 101.
1 to hang the underframe 101. Underframe 10 at this time
A space is formed by separating the wall 108 from the wall 108 with the hook portion 111 as a fulcrum to form an arc, and the refrigerant pipe (not shown) and the auxiliary pipe 106 are connected in this space, and the heat insulating material 114 is used.
Give.

After the drain hose 107 is also connected to the outdoor hose and electrical wiring is performed, the float retainer 113 provided on the lower portion of the underframe 101 is engaged with the pawl 112 of the installation plate 109 to make the indoor unit. Was attached.

[0007]

In such a conventional air conditioner indoor unit, after the auxiliary pipe 106 and the refrigerant pipe are connected to each other, heat insulation treatment is performed by the heat insulating material 114 so as not to cause dew condensation. The space 105 formed by the bottom surface 103 of the base frame 101 and the back surface 106 of the underframe 101 does not fit into the space 105, and the underframe 101 is attached by the float holding portion 113. However, the refrigerant pipe and the drain hose 107 in the space 105 are There is a problem in that it protrudes from the back surface and floats above the wall 108, and a large gap is created between the underframe 101 and the wall portion 108, which is very unsightly and impairs the interior quality.

The present invention solves such a problem, and improves the workability and the interior property by blocking the exposed gap such as the refrigerant pipe formed between the underframe and the wall. It is an object to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner that can be used.

[0009]

In order to achieve the above object, an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention is provided with an air conditioner such as a blower, a heat exchanger, and a pipe therein, and an underframe attached to a wall portion. And an auxiliary underframe which is in contact with the inner surface of the rear portion of the underframe and surrounds at least three surfaces including the lower surface, and which is slidably locked forward and backward, the underframe being slid by the auxiliary underframe. It is configured to shield the gap between the wall portions.

[0010]

According to the present invention, when the underframe is fixed to the wall and the connection of the refrigerant pipes and the like is completed and a gap is generated between the underframe and the wall, the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration. By sliding the frame to the wall side, the gap can be shielded.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

The same parts as those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted. As shown in the figure, the auxiliary underframe 1 has a size that is inscribed inside an underframe 101 forming an indoor unit, and is formed in a substantially U-shape by a lower surface and three side surfaces, and a plurality of inside corners are provided. An engaging portion 3 in which the groove 2 is formed is provided, a fixing pawl 4 provided on the underframe 101 engages with the engaging portion 3, and the auxiliary underframe 1 is slidably engaged with the underframe 101. To configure.

In the above structure, when the underframe 101 is attached to the wall 108 by the same method as in the conventional example, a gap is created between the underframe 101 and the wall 108, and when the pipe or the like is exposed, the auxiliary underframe 1 The gap is shielded by sliding the bracket to the wall 108 side, and the underframe 10 is attached to the locking portion 3 provided on the auxiliary underframe 1.
The fixing pawls 4 provided on the base plate 1 are engaged with each other, and the auxiliary underframe 1 is held in the slid position.

It goes without saying that it is preferable that the underframe 101 and the auxiliary underframe 1 have colors and designs that do not give a feeling of strangeness.

[0015]

As is apparent from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, by sliding the auxiliary underframe provided inside the underframe even if there is a gap between the indoor unit and the wall. It is possible to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner that can improve workability and interior properties in which a gap is shielded.
