The present invention relates to a ceiling embedded-type air conditioner, and more particularly to a structure relating to a decorative panel to be detachably mounted to the air conditioner main body.
FIGS. 8 and 9 show a decorative panel portion of a conventional ceiling embedded-type air conditioner. In these figures, a reference numeral 100 denotes the main body (hereinafter, maybe referred to as air conditioner main body) of the ceiling embedded-type air conditioner, and 110, a decorative panel. The decorative panel 110 has a square air suction port 111 in the central portion, and rectangular air blow-off ports 112 in the outside of each side of the air suction port 111 respectively.
In the air suction port 111, there are disposed a suction grille 113 and an air filter element 114, and a vane 115 is pivotally mounted to the air blow-off port 112.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an embodiment of ceiling embedded-type air conditioner according to the present invention, as viewed from the non-design surface side of the decorative panel.
FIG. 2 is a partial plan view showing an embodiment of ceiling embedded-type air conditioner according to the present invention, as viewed from the design surface side of the decorative panel.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view taken on line III—III of FIG. 1.
Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a detailed description will be made of embodiments of a ceiling embedded-type air conditioner according to the present invention.
FIGS. 1 to 7 show an embodiment of a ceiling embedded-type air conditioner according to the present invention. In these figures, a reference numeral 10 denotes the main body (air conditioner main body) of a ceiling embedded-type air conditioner to be fixed and arranged in the interior of the ceiling; 20, a substantially square decorative panel arranged at the front of the air conditioner main body 10 to cover an opening 91 of a ceiling panel 90; and 60, corner panels detachably mounted to four corners of the decorative panel 20 respectively.
The air conditioner main body 10 has an air suction passage portion 11 in the central portion, and an air blow-off passage portion 12 in the outside of the air suction passage portion 11 respectively, and there is arranged a heat exchanger 13 for heat-exchanging indoor suction air between the air suction passage portion 11 and the air blow-off passage portion 12. The decorative panel 20 is entirely configured by a molded part made of plastic material, has a square air suction port 21, which communicates with the air blow-off passage portion 12, in the central portion, and has a rectangular air blow-off port 22, which communicates with the air blow-off passage portion 12, in the outside of each side of the air suction port 21.
