  • the protruding portion 40a is provided below the front-panel screw hole 40b.
  • the distance on the top panel 20 between the top-panel screw hole 20b and the curled portion 20a is approximately equal to the distance on the machine-chamber front panel 31 between the front-panel screw hole 40b and the recessed portion 40c.
  • one protruding portion 40a is provided in the insertion portion 40.
  • the configuration is not limited thereto, and two or more protruding portions 40a may be provided.
  • Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional schematic view of the temporary fixing portion and surrounding of the temporary fixing portion in a state where the machine-chamber front panel 31 of the outdoor unit 100 for an air-conditioning apparatus according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is mounted to the outer box 1. Note that Fig. 4 shows a part of the vertical cross section when the outdoor unit 100 is viewed from the right side.
  • the insertion portion 40 of the machine-chamber front panel 31 is moved upward to be inserted inside the front surface of the top panel 20.
  • the position of the top-panel screw hole 20b is aligned with the position of the front-panel screw hole 40b in the up-and-down direction.
  • the protruding portion 40a of the machine-chamber front panel 31 is engaged with the curled portion 20a of the top panel 20, and the curled portion 20a of the top panel 20 is accommodated in the recessed portion 40c of the machine-chamber front panel 31, so that the machine-chamber front panel 31 is temporarily fixed to the top panel 20.
  • the machine-chamber front panel 31 is fixed to the top panel 20 with the screw 7.
  • a groove-shaped portion is formed as a temporary fixing portion on a top panel. There is thus a problem in that the appearance of this groove-shaped portion can be perceived as a dent, and makes the design unattractive.
  • the curled portion 20a is provided as the temporary fixing portion on the top panel 20.
  • the curled portion 20a has a shape curled toward the inner side of the top panel 20.
  • the protruding portion 40a and the recessed portion 40c of the machine-chamber front panel 31 are positioned inside the front surface of the top panel 20. That is, in the mounted state of the machine-chamber front panel 31 to the top panel 20, the temporary fixing portion can hardly be seen from outside. This can minimize the unattractive design of the outdoor unit 100 and can also maintain workability.
  • an insertion portion is formed as a temporary fixing portion at an upper portion of a machine-chamber front panel.
  • the insertion portion is pressed by a groove-shaped portion formed on the top panel and thus becomes deflected toward the back side, so that a reactive force against the pressing force brings the insertion portion into close contact with the inner side of the top panel to be temporarily fixed to the top panel.
  • the insertion portion of the machine-chamber front panel is still deflected. The deflection caused by mounting the machine-chamber front panel to the top panel deforms a part of the insertion portion of the machine-chamber front panel. This leads to a problem that it is difficult to align the screw hole positions of the machine-chamber front panel and the top panel with each other, and this makes it difficult to screw the machine-chamber front panel to the top panel.
  • the insertion portion 40 is provided with the protruding portion 40a, the front-panel screw hole 40b, and the recessed portion 40c of the machine-chamber front panel 31, and this insertion portion 40 is positioned on the inner side of the outer box 1 relative to the other portion of the front surface of the machine-chamber front panel 31.
  • the protruding portion 40a of the machine-chamber front panel 31 is engaged with the curled portion 20a of the top panel 20, and the curled portion 20a of the top panel 20 is accommodated in the recessed portion 40c of the machine-chamber front panel 31, so that the machine-chamber front panel 31 is temporarily fixed to the top panel 20.
  • the machine-chamber front panel 31 when the machine-chamber front panel 31 is temporarily fixed to the top panel 20, the curled portion 20a of the top panel 20 is accommodated in the recessed portion 40c. With this structure, at the time of the temporary fixing, a stress only acts on the protruding portion 40a. Thus, the machine-chamber front panel 31 and the top panel 20 can be screwed to each other in a state where such an external force as to deflect and deform the machine-chamber front panel 31 is hardly applied. That is, the machine-chamber front panel 31 and the top panel 20 can be screwed to each other without deforming the machine-chamber front panel 31.
  • the distance on the top panel 20 between the top-panel screw hole 20b and the curled portion 20a is approximately equal to the distance on the machine-chamber front panel 31 between the front-panel screw hole 40b and the recessed portion 40c. It is thus easy to align the position of the top-panel screw hole 20b with the position of the front-panel screw hole 40b in the up-and-down direction, so that the machine-chamber front panel 31 and the top panel 20 can be easily screwed to each other.
  • the outdoor unit 100 for an air-conditioning apparatus includes the outer box 1 having the machine chamber 10B formed therein to place the compressor 2 in the machine chamber 10B, wherein the outer box 1 includes the machine-chamber front panel 31 placed on the front side of the machine chamber 10B and removable from the outer box 1, and the top panel 20 to cover the top surface, and on the front surface of the top panel 20, the top-panel screw hole 20b into which the screw 7 is inserted, and the curled portion 20a having a shape curled toward the inner side at the lower end of the top panel 20 are provided, and on the front surface of the machine-chamber front panel 31, at the upper portion thereof, the insertion portion 40 is formed and recessed toward the back side, the insertion portion 40 is provided with the front-panel screw hole 40b into which the screw 7 is inserted, and the protruding portion 40a with a shape projecting toward the front side, and when the insertion portion 40 is inserted inside the front surface of the top panel 20, and the position of the top-panel screw hole 20b is align
  • the outdoor unit 100 for an air-conditioning apparatus when the insertion portion 40 is inserted inside the front surface of the top panel 20, and the position of the top-panel screw hole 20b is aligned with the position of the front-panel screw hole 40b, the protruding portion 40a is engaged with the curled portion 20a, so that the machine-chamber front panel 31 can be temporarily fixed to the top panel 20.
  • the curled portion 20a has a shape curled toward the inner side of the top panel 20, and the protruding portion 40a is positioned inside the front surface of the top panel 20.
  • the outdoor unit 100 for an air-conditioning apparatus in which the outdoor unit 100 includes the machine-chamber front panel 31 removable from the outer box 1, can minimize the unattractive design and can also maintain workability.
  • the insertion portion 40 is provided with the recessed portion 40c with a shape recessed toward the back side, the recessed portion 40c is provided below the protruding portion 40a, and when the insertion portion 40 is inserted inside the front surface of the top panel 20, and the position of the top-panel screw hole 20b is aligned with the position of the front-panel screw hole 40b, the curled portion 20a is accommodated in the recessed portion 40c.
  • the machine-chamber front panel 31 when the machine-chamber front panel 31 is temporarily fixed to the top panel 20, the curled portion 20a of the top panel 20 is accommodated in the recessed portion 40c.
  • a stress only acts on the protruding portion 40a.
  • the machine-chamber front panel 31 and the top panel 20 can be screwed to each other in a state where such an external force as to deflect and deform the machine-chamber front panel 31 is not applied.
