The air conditioner includes an indoor unit that is provided in a room and an outdoor unit that is connected to the indoor unit by piping and is provided outside the room.
[0003]
The indoor unit of the air conditioner is provided with an outer surface panel so as to cover a casing that accommodates a blower and a heat exchanger. The outer surface panel is provided with a knockout portion enclosed by a groove having a reduced thickness of the outer surface panel so that the piping connecting the indoor unit and the
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 outdoor unit penetrates the outer surface panel so as to be disposed and a part of the outer surface panel can be removed. For example, such a knockout portion is disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Application, First Publication No. H2-65012.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Technical Problem [0004]
However, there are a plurality of standards (dimensions) in the piping connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. Therefore, in a case where a dimension of the knockout portion removed from the outer surface panel with respect to a diameter of the piping is large, an inner casing inside the outer surface panel is exposed to the outside, which may degrade aesthetic appearance. Here, in the knockout portion disclosed in the related art, it is difficult to adjust an opening diameter according to the diameter of the piping.
[0005]
An object of the invention is to provide an outer surface panel capable of easily setting a region to be removed by a knockout portion without degrading aesthetic appearance, an indoor unit of an air conditioner including the outer surface panel, a method of knocking out, and a method of installing an indoor unit of an air conditioner.
Solution to Problem [0006]
An outer surface panel conditioner according to a first aspect of the invention includes a panel main body that is provided on a surface of a casing of an indoor unit of an air conditioner accommodating a blower fan and a heat exchanger therein. The panel main body is provided with an outer peripheral groove that is recessed from an inside of
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 the panel main body and extends so as to enclose a knockout portion that is one region on the panel main body, and an inner groove that is recessed from the inside of the panel main body, is connected to the outer peripheral groove, and extends so as to partition the knockout portion.
[0007]
In such an outer surface panel, the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove are provided from the inside. Therefore, in a state where the panel main body is attached to the casing, the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove cannot be visually recognized from the outside. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the indoor unit is not degraded. Furthermore, since the inner groove is provided in the panel main body in addition to the outer peripheral groove, not only the entire knockout portion but also only a region partitioned by the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove, which is a part of the knockout portion, can be removed. Therefore, for example, in a case where piping connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is disposed to penetrate the panel main body in the knockout portion, only a part of the knockout portion can be removed from the panel main body according to a diameter of the piping. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a gap between the piping and the panel main body and to prevent the casing of the inside of the panel main body from being exposed to the outside.
In addition, it is possible to easily remove the region partitioned by the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove, which is the region of a part of the knockout portion by partitioning the knockout portion by the inner groove and by notching the groove.
[0008]
In addition, in the outer surface panel according to a second aspect of the invention, in the outer surface panel according to the first aspect, the inner groove may
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 have a longitudinal groove and a lateral groove crossing the longitudinal groove so that the inner groove may be provided in a lattice shape.
[0009]
As described above, it is possible to finely partition the region of the knockout 5 portion by providing the inner groove in the lattice shape. Therefore, it is possible to further easily remove a part of the knockout portion according to the diameter of the piping connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit.
[0010]
In addition, in the outer surface panel according to a third aspect of the invention, in the outer surface panel according to the second aspect, a groove width of the inner groove may be smaller than a groove width of the outer peripheral groove.
[0011]
As described above, for example, first, the knockout portion is cut along the outer peripheral groove and then a part of the knockout portion partitioned by the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove is gripped to apply a force by providing the inner groove. Therefore, the stress concentrates on the inner groove having the smaller groove width. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove a part of the knockout portion partitioned by the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove.
[0012]
In addition, an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to a fourth aspect of the invention includes the outer surface panel according to any one of the first to third aspects; a casing to which the outer surface panel is attached; and a blower fan and a heat exchanger that are accommodated in the casing.
[0013]
According to such an indoor unit, in a state where the outer surface panel is
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 attached to the casing, the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove cannot be visually recognized from the outside and the aesthetic appearance of the indoor unit is not degraded by providing the outer surface panel. Furthermore, not only the entire knockout portion but also only the region partitioned by the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove, which is a part of the knockout portion, can be removed. Therefore, only a part of the knockout portion is removed from the panel main body according to the diameter of the piping, it is possible to reduce the gap between the diameter of the piping and the panel main body, and it is possible to prevent the casing of the inside of the panel main body from being exposed to the outside. In addition, it is possible to easily 10 remove a part of the knockout portion by partitioning the knockout portion by the inner groove.
[0014]
In addition, a method of knocking out of a knockout portion according to a fifth aspect of the invention includes a cutting step of cutting the outer peripheral groove of the panel main body in the outer surface panel according to any one of the first to third aspects; a notching step of notching the inner groove; and a removing step of removing a region partitioned between the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove in the knockout portion by gripping the region after the cutting step and the notching step.
[0015]
Furthermore, according to such a method of knocking out, not only the entire knockout portion but also only the region partitioned by the outer peripheral groove and the inner groove, which is a part of the knockout portion, can be removed. Therefore, only a part of the knockout portion is removed from the panel main body according to the diameter of the piping, it is possible to reduce the gap between the diameter of the piping and the panel main body, and to prevent the casing of the inside of the panel main body
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 from being exposed to the outside. In addition, the knockout portion is partitioned by the inner groove and the cutting step and the notching step are executed. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove a part of the knockout portion.
[0016]
In addition, a method of installing an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to a sixth aspect of of the invention includes a panel removing step of removing the outer surface panel from the indoor unit of the air conditioner; the method of knocking out according to the fifth aspect executed after the panel removing step; and a panel attaching step of attaching the outer surface panel to the indoor unit after executing the method of knocking out.
[0017]
Therefore, according to such a method of installing the indoor unit, when the piping connecting the indoor unit and the outdoor unit to each other is disposed to penetrate the panel main body disposed to penetrate the knockout portion during installation of the indoor unit, it is possible to remove only a part of the knockout portion from the panel main body according to the diameter of the piping. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the gap between the diameter of the piping and the panel main body. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the casing of the inside of the panel main body from being exposed to the outside. In addition, the knockout portion is partitioned by the inner groove and the cutting step and the notching step are executed. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove a part of the knockout portion.

As described above, each of the outer peripheral grooves 15 is provided so as to enclose a knockout portion Al that is a region on the panel main body 10.
[0029] ίο
2017268565 29 Nov 2017
Here, a groove width [a] of the outer peripheral groove 15 may be equal to or greater than 2.0 [mm] and equal to or less than 3.0 [mm], more preferably equal to or greater than 2.2 [mm] and equal to or less than 2.8 [mm], [0030]
At least one end of the inner groove 20 is connected to the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20 is provided in the knockout portion Al. In the embodiment, a plurality of the inner grooves 20 is provided so as to partition the knockout portion Al into six regions. The inner groove 20 includes a longitudinal groove 21 that extends in the forward and rearward direction of the panel main body 10 and is provided at a center position of the knockout portion Al in the lateral direction, and two lateral grooves 22 that extend in the lateral direction orthogonal to the longitudinal groove 21 and are provided with an interval in the forward and rearward direction of the knockout portion Al. Therefore, the inner groove 20 is provided in a lattice shape.
[0031]
As described above, the knockout portion Al on the right side (right side facing a paper surface in FIG. 2) in the lateral direction is partitioned into a first region Ala that is nearest to the support portion 11 in the lateral direction and is positioned at the most rear end of the panel main body 10, a second region Alb, a third region Ale, a fourth region Aid, a fifth region Ale, and a sixth region Alf in this order from the first region
Ala in the clockwise direction.
[0032]
A groove width [b] of the inner groove 20 is smaller than the groove width a of the outer peripheral groove 15. Specifically, the groove width b of the inner groove 20 may be equal to or greater than 0.2 [mm] and equal to or less than 1 [mm]. More π
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 preferably, the groove width b may be equal to or greater than 0.3 [mm] and equal to or less than 0.7 [mm], [0033]
Furthermore, in the first region Ala of the knockout portion Al, a region, which 5 is continuous to the rear end edge 10a and extends to a midway position in the first region Ala in the forward and rearward direction, is a small knockout portion A2. The small knockout portion A2 is a quadrangular shape when viewed from above. The small knockout portion A2 is connected to the rear end edge 10a and is provided by partitioning a part of the first region Ala by a partition groove 30 extending to a substantially center position of the first region Ala in the forward and rearward direction. The groove width of the partition groove 30 is substantially the same as the groove width of the outer peripheral groove 15.
[0034]
Next, a method of installing the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner 100 and a method of knocking out the knockout portion Al of the embodiment will be described.
In the method of installing the indoor unit 1, as shown in FIG. 4, first, a panel removing step SI is executed. In the panel removing step SI, the bottom surface panel 5b is removed from the casing 2 of the indoor unit 1.
[0035]
Thereafter, a cutting step S2 in which the outer peripheral groove 15 is cut is executed. In the cutting step S2, only a portion of the outer peripheral groove 15 corresponding to any region (from the first region Ala to the sixth region A lf) to be removed by the knockout portion Al is cut with a saw blade or the like. In the embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, only the first region Ala is cut. After cutting, deburring is removed with a file or the like.
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 [0036]
Thereafter, a notching step S3 is executed and makes a notch in the inner groove 20 which partitions, for example, the first region Ala to be removed.
[0037]
Thereafter, a removing step S4 is executed and grips, for example, the first region Ala to be removed to remove the first region Ala from the panel main body 10.
A tool may be used to remove the first region Ala, or the first region Ala may be performed by hand.
[0038]
Finally, a panel attaching step S5 is executed and the bottom surface panel 5b from which, for example, the first region Ala is removed is again attached to the indoor unit 1.
[0039]
According to the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment 15 which is described above, the knockout portion At is provided in the panel main body 10 of the bottom surface panel 5b. The knockout portion At is provided with the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20 which are grooves recessed from the inside to the outside of the panel main body 10.
[0040]
Therefore, in a state where the panel main body 10 is attached to the casing 2, the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20 cannot be visually recognized from the outside. Therefore, the aesthetic appearance of the indoor unit 1 is not degraded.
[0041]
Furthermore, the inner groove 20 is provided in the panel main body 10 in
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 addition to the outer peripheral groove 15. Therefore, not only the entire knockout portion A1 but also only the region partitioned by the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20, which is a part of the knockout portion, can be removed. Therefore, for example, in a case where the piping connecting the indoor unit 1 and the outdoor unit are disposed to penetrate the panel main body 10 in the knockout portion Al, only a part of the knockout portion Al can be removed from the panel main body 10 according to the diameter of the piping.
[0042]
Therefore, it is possible to reduce the gap between the diameter of the piping 10 and the panel main body 10 and to avoid degrading aesthetic appearance due to exposition of the casing 2 on the inside of the panel main body 10 to the outside.
[0043]
In addition, the knockout portion A1 is partitioned into a plurality of regions by the inner groove 20. Therefore, notching is performed in the inner groove 20 and it is possible to easily remove only a region of a part of the knockout portion Al which is partitioned by the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20.
[0044]
In addition, it is possible to finely partition the region of the knockout portion Al by providing the inner groove 20 in the lattice shape. Therefore, it is possible to further easily remove a part of the knockout portion Al according to the diameter of the piping connecting the indoor unit 1 and the outdoor unit.
[0045]
Furthermore, the inner groove 20 having the groove width smaller than that of the outer peripheral groove 15 is provided. Therefore, first, the knockout portion A1 is cut along the outer peripheral groove 15, and then a part of the knockout portion Al
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 partitioned by the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20 is gripped to apply a force, so that a large stress concentration occurs in the inner groove 20 having the small groove width. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove a part of the knockout portion Al partitioned by the outer peripheral groove 15 and the inner groove 20 without using a tool.
[0046]
Furthermore, the partition groove 30 is cut by providing the small knockout portion A2 and it is possible to remove only the small knockout portion A2. Therefore, it is possible to provide a member having a diameter smaller than that of the piping such as wiring by penetrating the region of the small knockout portion A2.
[0047]
Although the embodiments of the invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, each configuration and combination thereof in the respective the embodiments is a merely example, and additions and omissions, replacements, and other changes of the configuration are possible within the scope not departing from the gist of the invention. Further, the invention is not limited by the embodiments, but is limited only by the claims. For example, although the case where the knockout portion Al is provided on the bottom surface panel 5b is described above, the knockout portion Al may be provided on another outer surface panel 5 (for example, the side surface panel 5 a).
[0048]
In addition, the small knockout portion A2 is not necessarily provided. In addition, at least one of the inner grooves 20 may be provided. That is, one inner groove 20 may be provided such that the inner groove 20 does not have the longitudinal groove 21 and the lateral groove 22, and at least the knockout portion Al is partitioned
2017268565 29 Nov 2017 into two regions.
[0049]
In the inner groove 20, the longitudinal groove 21 and the lateral groove 22 may not cross at right angle but may be cross diagonally. Furthermore, the outer peripheral groove 15 may not be continuous with the rear end edge 10a of the panel main body 10. That is, the knockout portion Al may be provided on the inside of the panel main body in the forward and rearward direction, and the lateral direction.
While preferred embodiments of the invention have been described and shown above, it should be understood that these are exemplary of the invention and are not to be considered as limiting. Additions, omissions, substitutions, and other modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
Accordingly, the invention is not to be considered as being limited by the foregoing description, and is only limited by the scope of the appended claims.
