It was constructed as shown in FIGS. In the figure, the ventilation type and refrigeration cycle for the indoor and outdoor areas are the same as in this embodiment, and only the processing structure for the outdoor dehumidified water is different. That is, A is a water tray that receives water dehumidified by an indoor heat exchanger (not shown). Below the part corresponding to the outlet B, there is an insertion tube 2 for the drainage hose 2 and a semicircular fixing part 5 with the insertion tube 2 concentrically located between it and the water tray A, and the plate thickness to the board. It is molded integrally with the water pan I with a gap of the same size, and the water pan I is fixed by the outdoor heat exchanger G and the fixing part E of the water pan I.

こかに保管する面倒もあつた。 When the air conditioner main unit (1) is operating, the drain hose (1) is inserted into the insertion pipe (2) integrated with the water tray (1) and provided below the portion corresponding to the air outlet (2) to discharge dehumidified water to the outside. Since the water tray A also extends below the outlet B, there are problems such as the hole in the insertion tube N becoming clogged due to entry of dirt and the like. Furthermore, when the operation is stopped and the window is closed, the drain hose must be removed from the insertion tube 2, which is troublesome, and the fitting between the insertion tube 2 and the drainage hose 2 is difficult. It is tightly fitted to prevent leakage, and it is quite difficult to remove it, and when removing it, water accumulated in the drain hose may drip onto the window body such as aluminum sash, causing stains on walls, etc. It was hot. Moreover, it was a hassle to store the drain hose somewhere until it was used next time.

くなり、梱包材料のコスト低減がはかれる。 However, in this embodiment, when closing the window with the air conditioner attached to the window, the drain hose 10 is inserted into the recess 15 of the protective guard 14 located inside the air outlet 3.
Since it is fitted and fixed in an upright position at 90 degrees, dirt, etc. can be discharged together with water from the drain port 13 provided on the top surface of the box-shaped joint 9, thereby preventing clogging of the joint 9, the drain hose 10, etc. In addition to being able to
By providing the drain port 13, the mold for forming the joint 9 made of synthetic resin or the like can be simplified, and the number of processing steps can be reduced. Furthermore, since the joint 9 eliminates the need to remove the drain hose 10 every time the window is opened or closed, there is no need to worry about water leaking to the window frame or staining the walls or the like. Moreover, since there is no protrusion on the rear surface, the external dimensions of the protective packaging during the distribution stage are also reduced, and the cost of packaging materials can be reduced.

A joint made of synthetic resin that integrally has an insertion pipe protruding in a 90° direction, a drainage hose connected to the insertion pipe, and a drainage hose storage provided on the back of the air conditioner main body above the joint. The joint has an opening-like drainage port on the top surface when the insertion tube is located in a substantially horizontal direction, and the side surface when the insertion tube is located in a substantially vertical direction. When closing the window with the conditioner attached to the window, all you have to do is rotate the joint and fit the drain hose into the drain hose storage recess, making it easy to close the window without having to remove the drain hose. be able to. Furthermore, since there is no protrusion on the back of the air conditioner body, the air conditioner body can be installed closely against a window, so there is no problem of narrowing the living space. In addition, when the drain hose is stored, the drain hose can be prevented from becoming clogged because debris flows out from the drain port provided in the joint, and the joint is integrally molded with synthetic resin to have an opening that functions as a drain port. It has the following effects:
