Definitions

  • This disclosure relates to a front panel and louver design for an air conditioning unit.
  • the front panel and louver are arranged on a front portion of a room air conditioning unit that extends into a room.
  • Room air conditioning units include one portion that extends into an interior space of a room and another portion that is exposed to the outside environment.
  • the front portion of the air conditioning unit exposed to the room includes a front panel and/or louvers including vents that circulate air between the air conditioning unit and the room.
  • a control box is provided on the room side of the air conditioning unit and provides user controls that are accessible to a user for controlling operation of the air conditioning unit.
  • the front panel includes an aperture through which the user controls extend or are accessible. These controls are often located beneath any air passageways, which add to the overall height of the unit.
  • the current units include frames that are significantly taller than the air passageways. This is considered to be aesthetically undesirable.
  • the air conditioning units also include louvers that are not very visually appealing.
  • An air conditioning unit includes a front portion providing air inlet and air outlet passageways.
  • the front portion has a first height.
  • a front panel provides one of the air inlet and outlet passageways, and the front panel having a second height at least substantially the same as the first height.
  • a louver provides the other of the air inlet and outlet passageways, and the louver has a third height at least substantially the same as the first height.
  • the louver is pivotally supported by the frame provided at the front portion and is configured to rotated relative thereto between open and closed positions.
  • the louver is in fluid communication with the air outlet passageway and includes a cover providing an aesthetic surface configured to face outward from front portion in the closed position. The open position exposes substantially more of the air passageway than in the closed position.
  • Figure 1 is an exploded view of an example air conditioning unit.
  • Figure 2a is a front and side perspective view of the air conditioning unit shown in Figure 1 when assembled and viewed from a room.
  • Figure 2b is a front perspective view of the example air conditioning unit.
  • Figure 2c is a top perspective view of the air conditioning unit, as illustrated in Figure 2b.
  • Figure 3 is front elevational view of the example air conditioning unit.
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged partial perspective view of a louver before installation into a frame.
  • the unit 10 has a housing that includes a base pan 12 and wrapper 14.
  • the base pan 12 supports a compressor 16 that pumps refrigerant to a condenser 18.
  • An expansion device
  • a motor 24 blows air through the evaporator 20 using a blower 26 to provide cooled air through louvers 22, which are exposed to an interior of a room for example.
  • a fan 30 is driven by the motor 24 to blow air across the condenser
  • a condenser orifice or shroud 32 provides a seal between the condenser 18 and the fan 30.
  • the housing includes a top cover 34 arranged between the shroud
  • a control box 36 communicates with the compressor 16 and motor 24 in a known manner to provide a desired conditioned air to the room.
  • the wrapper 14 includes flanges 38 to which a frame 21 mounts.
  • the frame 21 provides support for the louvers 22 and a front panel 23. Air enters the air conditioning unit 10 through the gap between the frame 21 and the front panel 23 and exits through the louvers 22 to provide conditioned air to the room.
  • the frame 21 also includes a filter frame 25 for supporting a filter 27.
  • the front panel 23 can be selected from multiple front panels having different characteristics, such as color, to vary the appearance of the unit 10 or to accommodate different user controls.
  • the front panel 23 includes one or more apertures 40 for providing access to the control box 36 from the room at an exteriorly facing front portion of the air conditioning unit 10, best shown in Figures 2a and 2b.
  • the control box 36 includes user controls or knobs 42 that are accessible or extend through an exterior surface 44 of the front panel 23 and can be viewed and manipulated from the room.
  • a uniform gap 46 between the front panel 23 and control box 36 and/or knobs 42 which provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Locating the control box 36 in a desired position relative to the front panel 23 also ensures that any user controls 42 are aligned in a desired manner with indicia 48, which may be provided on the exterior surface 44.
  • the indicia 48 include, for example, numbers corresponding to a temperature set point or motor speed.
  • the front portion of the unit 10 includes a contour C generally indicated by dashed lines, shown in Figures 2a and 2c.
  • the front panel 23 and louvers 22 provide an exteriorly facing contour C that is substantially uniformly arcuate, as can be seen from top of the unit 10.
  • the front panel 23, louvers 22 and frame 21 are generally flush with one another with respect to this contour.
  • the louvers 22 are provided by a housing 50 that includes a cover 52.
  • the louvers 22 are rotatable about pivots 68 (provided by axis B, seen in Fig. 4) between an open position (Fig. 2a) and a closed position (Fig. 2b).
  • a portion 56 is provided by the cover 52 that acts as a handle for manipulating the louvers 22.
  • Each louver 22 is arranged in an air outlet passageway 51. Closing the louvers 22 restricts the air outlet passageways 51 such that only vertical openings 55 provide fluid communication between the room and air outlet passageways 51.
  • Each louver 22 includes multiple adjustable baffles 58 for selectively directing flow out the air outlet passageway 51 downward, straight or horizontal.
  • the baffles 58 are interconnected by linkages 66 and rotatable about an axis A (Fig. 4).
  • a first end 60 of each baffle 58 are supported in a hole in the housing 50, and a second end 62 opposite the first end is received in a notch 64 in a snap-fit relationship.
  • pivots 68 are each provided by a pin 74 that extends from opposing walls of the frame 21. Opposing sides of each louver
  • the frame 21 and front panel 23 include hinges 86 and latches 88 that cooperate with one another to locate the front panel 23 to the frame 21 in the desired position.
  • a perimeter 80 of the front panel 23 is maintained in a spaced relationship from the frame 21 by the hinges 86 and latches 88 to provide an air inlet passageway 82 about the perimeter.
  • Slots 84 in the exterior surface 44 may be used to provide additional airflow to the air inlet passageway 82.
  • the perimeter 80 includes top and bottom edges that define a height Hl that substantially corresponds to a height of the frame 21, in the example embodiment.
  • the louvers 22 include a height H2 that is substantially the same as the height Hl.
  • the heights of the front panel 23 and louvers 22 relative to the frame 21 is aesthetically pleasing and minimizes the overall height of the front portion of the unit 10.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une unité de climatisation comprenant une partie avant dans laquelle sont formés des passages pour l'entrée et la sortie d'air. La partie avant est d'une première hauteur. Un panneau avant comprend un des passages d'entrée et de sortie d'air, ce panneau étant d'une deuxième hauteur au moins sensiblement identique à la première hauteur. Une grille d'aération comprend l'autre passage d'entrée ou de sortie d'air, cette grille étant d'une troisième hauteur au moins sensiblement identique à la première hauteur. La grille d'aération est supportée par pivotement par la structure de la partie avant et est conçue pour effectuer une rotation entre une position ouverte et une position fermée. La grille d'aération est en communication fluidique avec le passage de sortie d'air et comprend un couvercle formant une surface esthétique orientée vers l'extérieur depuis la partie avant en position fermée. La position ouverte expose sensiblement une plus grande partie du passage d'air que la position fermée.
