Air conditioner

Abstract

PURPOSE: An air conditioner is provided to prevent leakage of chilled air and inflow of outdoor air by allowing an upper panel and a cabinet, and the upper panel and a front panel to be doubly attached and coupled to each other. CONSTITUTION: An upper panel(40) and a cabinet(20) form a double attaching structure to be coupled to each other. The upper panel comprises downward flanges(41) extended downward from a rear end and both sides thereof; and ribs(45,46,47) separated from insides of the downward flanges, and extended downward. The cabinet has inward flanges(21) extended inwardly from upper ends of both sides and a rear side thereof. The downward flanges of the upper panel are attached to rear ends of the inward flanges to primarily cut off contact with outside air. The ribs of the upper panel are attached to front ends of the inward flanges to secondarily cut off contact with the outside air. Leakage of chilled air through a gap between the cabinet and the upper panel is prevented thereby. Chilled air is prevented from contacting with the outside air thereby. A front panel(30) is coupled to a front side of the cabinet, and forms a double attaching structure together with the cabinet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more specifically relates to improving the combined structure of the upper panel and the cabinet, as well as the upper panel and the front panel, and preventing the An air conditioner that prevents cold air from coming into contact with outside air at the same time. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, an air conditioner is a refrigerant that circulates in a closed circuit of a refrigeration cycle composed of a compressor, a condenser, a refrigerant expansion valve, an evaporator, etc. Thermal action and exothermic action, a device that cools or heats up the surroundings. [0003] Such air conditioners are divided into: an outdoor unit having a compressor and a condenser and being installed outdoors; an indoor unit having a refrigerant expansion valve and an evaporator and being installed indoors; Machines are housed in an integrated type of housing. In addition, separate air cond...

Problems solved by technology

[0012] However, the conventional air conditioner with the above-mentioned structure has a structure in which the upper panel 10 and the cabinet 1, and the upper panel 10 and the front panel 2 are screwed only in contact with their edges, and cannot maintain the upper panel 10 and the front panel 2. The contact part of the cabinet 1 and the contact part of the upper panel 10 and the front panel 2 are airtight, so there is a disadvantage that cold air will leak through the contact part and lose cold air

[0013] In addition, condensed water will be generated when external air flows in through the contact portion and contacts with the cold air. The condensed water falls in the direction of gravity along the inner surface of the cabinet 1 and the front panel 2 and is contained in the cold air to be discharged. Not pleasant, but also contact with the electrical components installed in the air conditioner and cause erroneous action

[0014] In addition, in conventional air conditioners, since the upper panel 10 has a structure protruding forward and upward from the rear, and its inner surface is not formed into a flat surface, it is difficult to paste heat insulating materials on the inner surface of the upper panel 10.
