Abstract

The air-conditioning apparatus includes a main body 1 including a frame body 2 and a base body 3 provided on a back surface side of the frame body 2, a frame body-side engagement section 2a and an extension section 2b that extends backward on both sides of the frame body-side engagement section 2a are provided on a back side of the frame body 2, a base body-side engagement section 3a that engages with the frame body-side engagement section 2a, and a support base 3b that is located below the extension section 2b are provided on a front side of the base body 3, and when the frame body 2 is mounted to the base body 3, the frame body-side engagement section 2a and the base body-side engagement section 3a engage with each other, and the extension section 2b is supported by the support base 3b.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An air-conditioning apparatus comprising:
a main body including a frame body and a base body, the base body being provided on a back surface side of the frame body, the base body forming an air flow path of an air conditioning apparatus blowing unit, the air conditioning apparatus blowing unit being attached to the base body, wherein
the frame body includes, on a back side thereof:
a frame body-side engagement section, and
an extension section, the extension section extending backward on both sides of the frame body-side engagement section,

the base body includes, on a front side thereof:
a base body-side engagement section that engages with the frame body-side engagement section, and
a support base that is separate from the base body-side engagement section and that is located below the extension section when the base body-side engagement section engages with the frame body-side engagement section,

the frame body-side engagement section includes a frame body-side claw portion that projects upward and has a first inclined surface that is inclined downward toward a rear side of the frame body,
the base body-side engagement section includes a base body-side claw portion that projects downward and has a second inclined surface that is inclined downward toward a rear side of the base body, and
when the frame body is mounted to the base body, the frame body-side claw portion of the frame body-side engagement section engages with the base body-side claw portion of the base body-side engagement section from below, and the extension section is supported by the support base from below.

2. The air-conditioning apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
a part of at least one of the frame body-side claw portion, the base body-side claw portion, and the extension section has a generally right-angled triangular shape in side view.

3. The air-conditioning apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the support base supports the extension section at a position of the main body ahead of a position where the frame body-side engagement section and the base body-side engagement section engage with each other.

4. The air-conditioning apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
the support base has a third inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the rear side of the base body.

5. The air-conditioning apparatus of claim 1 , wherein
a recessed portion is provided in a portion of one of the frame body-side engagement section and the base body-side engagement section in abutment with the other of the frame body-side engagement section and the base body-side engagement section.
