Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner.
  • the main body of the indoor unit 101 comprises a base frame 102 shaped like a box and a front grille 105 shaped like a box attachable to the base frame 102.
  • a motor 103 disposed within the base frame 102 drives a cross-flow fan 104 whereby a room air sucked through a suction port 106 formed in the top of the front grille 105 is drawn through an air filter 107 disposed reward of the suction port 106 and then through a heat exchanger 108 installed within the base frame 102 where the air thus drawn is subject to heat absorption and dehumidification processes. Condensation resulting from the processes is received by a drain pan 110 disposed at a discharge grille 109 whereas the air through the heat exchange process is sent to a discharge portion 111 of the discharge grille 109 to be discharged from a discharge port 112 formed in the bottom of the front grille 105.
  • the aforesaid indoor unit is assembled through the following procedure. First, rubber isolations 114 mounted to the opposite ends of the motor 103 are locked by motor receiving portions 113 provided at the base frame 102. After a shaft 116 of the motor 103 is inserted into a fan boss 115 of the cross-flow fan 104, the shaft 116 is secured to the fan boss 115 by means of a bolt 117. The other end of the cross-flow fan 104 is fixed with a bearing 118, which is fitted into a bearing portion 119 disposed at the base frame 102.
  • the heat exchanger 108 is installed forward of the cross-flow fan 104 whereas mounted below the heat exchanger 108 is the discharge grille 109 incorporating the drain pan 110 and the discharge portion 111. Because of a lead wire 120 extending from the motor 103 locked to the base frame 102, the motor 103 itself is aligned to position by means of a jig or the like. Then, installed forward of the motor 103 is a power board 121 incorporating electric equipments, which is secured to the base frame 102. Thus, by mounting the power board 121, the rubber isolations 114 mounted to the opposite ends of the motor 103 are gripped between the motor receiving portions 113 of the base frame 102 and the power board 121. Finally, the front grille 105 is attached to the base frame.
  • the rubber isolations 114 of the motor 103 are locked by a pair of fixed motor receiving portions 113 so that a slidable movement of the motor 103 is prohibited.
  • the motor 103 cannot be dismounted from the base frame unless the power board 121, discharge grille 109 and cross-flow fan 104 are removed.
  • Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 008, No. 148 (M-308) and JP-A-59-046 432 describe a fan motor mounting device for an air-conditioner.
  • the mounting device including the fan motor is fixed on a removable plate being a part of a base plate of the air-conditioner.
  • the fan motor may only be removed together with the entire mounting device and the removable plate.
  • an object of the invention to provide an indoor unit of an air conditioner which provides an easy and quick replacement of the motor at market.
  • the construction does not employ a separate component as one of the motor receiving portions that is adapted to be removably attached to the base frame, thus reducing the number of components.
  • one of the motor receiving portions is provided with a claw releasably engaged with the base frame.
  • one of the motor receiving portions may be attached to or removed from the base frame by engaging or disengaging the claw with or from the base frame.
  • one of the motor receiving portions is slidable to be engaged with or disengaged from the base frame.
  • one of the motor receiving portions can be attached to or removed from the rest of the base frame by slidably moving the above motor receiving portion. Hence, an easy and quick replacement of the motor is realized at market without using tools or removing the discharge grille, cross-flow fan and the like.
  • one of the motor receiving portions is formed with a hole, projection or recess.
  • one of the motor receiving portions may be readily removed by utilizing the hole, projection or recess.
  • one of the motor receiving portions is provided with a marking.
  • the motor when the motor is replaced at market, the motor can be mounted to a normal position of design by aligning the motor with the marking. This prevents a lead wire of the motor from contacting the base frame, thus avoiding the occurrence of vibration or noise.
  • Fig.1 is a perspective view for illustrating the configuration of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig.2 is a perspective view of the above air conditioner for illustrating the principal parts thereof as they appear during assembly thereof.
  • Fig.3 is a perspective view for illustrating a part of a base frame and motor receiving portions of the above air conditioner.
  • Fig.4 is a perspective view for illustrating a part of a base frame and motor receiving portions of an air conditioner according to another embodiment hereof.
  • Fig.5 is a perspective view for illustrating the configuration of a conventional air conditioner.
  • Fig.6 is a perspective view for illustrating the principal parts of the above air conditioner as they appear during assembly thereof.
  • the construction of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner is the same as the conventional example and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.
  • An indoor unit of the air conditioner will be described with reference to Figs.1 through 3.
  • the main body of an indoor unit 1 comprises a base frame 2 shaped like a box and a front grille 5 shaped like a box attachable to the base frame 2, and the like.
  • a cross-flow fan 4 is driven by a motor 3 installed within the base frame 2 whereby a room air is sucked through a suction port 6 formed in the top of the front grille 5 attached to the base frame 2 and through an air filter 7 disposed reward of the suction port 6. Then the air is further drawn through a heat exchanger 8 installed within the base frame 2 so as to be subject to heat absorption and dehumidification processes. Condensation resulting from the processes is received by a drain pan 10 of a discharge grille 9 whereas an air through the heat exchanging process is sent to a discharge portion 11 of the discharge grille 9 to be discharged from a discharge port 12 formed in the bottom of the front grille 5.
  • the indoor unit is assembled through the following procedure.
  • a bearing 14 of the cross-flow fan 4 is fitted into a bearing portion 13 provided at the base frame 2.
  • a motor receiver 16 as a separate component (a motor receiving portion on one side) receives one (on one side of the motor) of rubber isolations 15 mounted to the opposite ends of the motor 3 and then is mounted to the base frame 2 while a shaft 17 of the motor 3 is inserted into a fan boss 18 of the cross-flow fan 4.
  • the rubber isolation 15 on the other side is received by a motor receiving portion 19 provided at the base frame 2.
  • the shaft 17 inserted in the fan boss 18 is secured thereto by means of a bolt 20.
  • the heat exchanger 8 is installed forward of the cross-flow fan 4.
