2. Description of the Related Art A general structure is such that a grill is provided at an air intake opening of a front panel of a frame provided with a blowing means, and a filter is mounted inside the frame rather than the grill. In order to clean the filter, conventionally, the grill is flipped up to expose the filter, or the grill is removed to expose the filter.The filter exposed at the opening is removed to remove dirt, and the filter is removed again. The filter is cleaned by installing and returning the grill.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a locking portion formed by a gap 7 between the upper peripheral edge of the opening 3 and the back surface of the front panel 2, and 9 denotes an end of the opening 3 with the fitting portion 6 fitted. Steps 10 formed at the upper end of the grill 5 so as to oppose each other are projecting pieces extending from the vicinity of the step 9 into the gap 7 located on the back surface of the front panel 2, and 11 is engaged with the tip of the projecting piece 10. An elastic member interposed between the end of the stop portion 8 and the grille 5 of the embodiment is made of synthetic resin, while the elastic member 11 is made of a synthetic resin protrusion 1.
It is integrally formed from the front end of the zero. Further, since the opening 3 has a horizontally long shape, the projecting pieces 10 and the elastic members 11 do not need to be continuous, and may be provided at a plurality of locations.

When the grill 5 is not formed of synthetic resin or is made of synthetic resin, the projection 1
The elastic member 11 cannot be formed at the zero end. In another embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the locking portion 8 is formed of an elastic material,
An elastic member 11 is formed at the end of the locking portion 8, and the elastic member 11 can provide a force for pressing the protruding piece 10 against the front panel 2 and a force for pressing the grill 5 downward. The same operation and effect as when the protrusion 11 is formed at the tip of the protruding piece 10 can be obtained.

To remove the grill 5, if a force is applied upward while pressing the front of the grill, the step 9 of the grill 5 is located below the gap 7. The step 9 can be inserted without the need. In this state, the protrusions and recesses of the fitting portion 6 are disengaged from each other, so that the lower end of the grill 5 can be pulled out to the front of the frame body 1. With the lock,
The grill 5 can be removed.

As described above, according to the present invention, the fitting portion 6 formed by the convex portion and the concave portion is provided between the lower end of the grill 5 and the lower portion of the opening 3.
On the other hand, the protruding piece 10 inserted into the gap 7 at the upper end of the grill 5 is urged outward and downward by the elastic member 11, and the step at the upper end of the grill 5 in the normal position. The structure is such that the portion 9 and the edge of the opening 3 are in contact with each other. For this reason, the grill 5 is always positioned by the fitting portion 6 and the step portion 9, so that the grill 5 does not fall off the opening 3.

Further, since the surface of the grill 5 is provided with holes and slits through which air can pass, the grill 5
It does not slip even if you touch the surface of it. For this reason, it is possible to easily perform the removal operation that lifts the whole while pushing with the palm without using the handle, and the handle is unnecessary, so the design can be very neatly organized, and the price is high. It is the first time that a detachable structure of the grill 5 can be implemented in an air conditioner that emphasizes design.

Further, an elastic member 11 is provided at a locking portion between the grill 5 and the frame 1, so that the protrusion 10 or the locking portion 8 is provided.
The elastic member 11 interposed between the protruding piece 10 and the frame 1
The downward force is applied while pressing against the front panel 2 on the periphery of the opening 3 of the
Is not removed.

On the other hand, when the elastic member 11 is not made of a single component but is made of synthetic resin,
If it is formed integrally with the tip of the protruding piece 10, the elasticity of the synthetic resin can be used, the structure for mounting the elastic member 11 becomes very simple, and the cost of the grill 5 is hardly increased and the grill 5 can be manufactured at low cost It became so.

Further, since the conventional grill 5 of the air conditioner having no handle is a flip-up type, the weight of the grill 5 to be flipped must be reduced as much as possible, and the filter 13 is mounted on the opening 3 side. Since the grill 5 of the present invention is detachable even without a handle, there is almost no limitation on the weight, and the integration of the grill 5 and the filter 13 makes the attachment and detachment of the filter 13 easier than that performed at the opening 3 of the air conditioner. It becomes something.

Part of the dust that flows in along with the air flow does not adhere to the air passage portion of the grill 5. However, since the grill 5 can be removed, cleaning of this portion is simplified, and not only the filter 13 but also the filter 13 can be removed. The grill 5 can also be cleaned.
