[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 will be described. Reference numeral 1 denotes an air conditioner outdoor unit 2 when packaging an air conditioner outdoor unit 2 having a rectangular planar shape.
The lower protective body 1 is made of a corrugated cardboard and has a rectangular bottom plate portion 3 in a planar shape.
A bottom receiving member 6 which is composed of two lower side plate portions 4, 4, 5 and 5 which are continuously connected upward from two opposing sides of the bottom plate portion 3 and whose upper end is opened; 6, a pair of styrofoam cushioning materials 7, 7 set along a pair of opposite sides on the short side. The recesses 7a, 7a on the upper surfaces of the cushioning materials 7, 7 The lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is fitted so that the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 can be received. Reference numeral 8 denotes an upper protective body that covers the upper end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 when the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is packaged. The upper protective body 8 is made of a resin material, has a rectangular planar shape, and has an upper end on the lower surface. A recess 9 to be fitted is formed. The upper protective body 8 has the same thickness as the polystyrene foam cushioning members 7 set on the bottom receiver 6 of the lower protective body 1 so that the upper protective body 8 can exert a buffering effect by itself. At the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2, a mounting bracket 10 is provided so as to protrude downward, and the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is inserted into recesses 7 a, 7 a on the upper surface of the cushioning members 7, 7. The leg fitting 10 does not hit the cushioning members 7 in the fitted state. In the recess 9 of the upper protection body 8, small recesses 9a, into which the leg fittings 10 fit when the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is fitted into the recess 9 with the upper protection body 8 facing down, are formed. Have been.

[0008] The lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is fitted into the recesses 7a, 7a of the cushioning members 7, 7 set on the bottom receiver 6 of the lower protection body 1 having the above-described configuration. The air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is wrapped by fitting the concave portions 9 of the upper protective body 8 and hanging bands 17 at a plurality of locations over the lower protective body 1 and the upper protective body 8. Then, when installing the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 from this packaged state, the band 17 is removed, the lower protection body 1 and the upper protection body 8 are removed from the air conditioner outdoor unit 2, and the upper protection body 8 is turned upside down to form the recess 9. On the ground so that the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 fits into the recess 9 so that the upper protection body 8 can be mounted when the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is installed. It is used as a mounting table. That is, since the upper protective body 8 has the same thickness as the styrofoam cushioning members 7 and 7 set on the bottom receiving body 6 of the lower protective body 1 as described above, the upper protective body 8 is disposed outside the air conditioner room. When used as a mounting table when the machine 2 is installed, it has sufficient strength to receive the weight of the outdoor unit 2 and has no problem with load resistance. In addition, as the resin that is the material of the upper protective body 8, it is possible to use recycled materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and hard rubber, but it is particularly preferable that the material has weather resistance.

Next, a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 will be described. Buffers 7, 7 are set on the bottom receiving member 6 of the lower protective member 1, and the concave portions of the buffers 7, 7 are set. 7a, 7
a is fitted to the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 in the same manner as in the first embodiment.
The upper protective body is covered with a pair of opposing sides on the short side and is made of a resin material in the same manner as the upper protective body 8 of the first embodiment, and the cushioning members 7, 7 of the lower protective body 1 are turned upside down. Pair of upper protective bodies 1 having a concave shape and having concave portions 11a, 11a on the lower surface.
The upper end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is formed by upper and lower protective bodies 11, 11 and an upper lid body 12 made of a corrugated cardboard plate, which is formed by a corrugated cardboard and has a lower end opening. It differs from the first embodiment in that it is protected. The upper lid body 12 has a rectangular top plate portion 13 having a rectangular planar shape, and low side plate portions 14, 14, which are provided continuously downward from two sets of opposing sides of the top plate portion 13.
15 and 15, and the lower end is open.

In the second embodiment, the recesses 7 of the cushioning members 7, 7 set on the bottom receiver 6 of the lower protection body 1
The lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is fitted to the upper end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 in this state.
Of the upper protective body 1
The air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is wrapped by covering the lower cover 1 and the upper cover 12 with the bands 17 at a plurality of places by covering the upper cover 12 from above the first and the first covers 11. Then, when installing the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 from the packaged state, the band 17 is removed, the lower protection body 1, the upper protection bodies 11, 11 and the upper lid body 12 are removed from the air conditioner outdoor unit 2, and the upper protection body 11 is removed. , 11 for air conditioner outdoor unit 2
It is intended to be used as a mounting table when installing. That is, the upper protective bodies 11 are turned upside down,
By placing the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 on the ground such that the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 fits into the recesses 11a, 11a,
The upper protective bodies 11, 11 are used as a mounting table when the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is installed. In addition, upper protective body 1
When the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is fitted into the recesses 11a, 11a of the air conditioner 1, 11, the leg fitting 10 is attached to the upper protective body 1.
It does not hit 1,11.

Further, a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 13 will be described. The third embodiment is a modification of the second embodiment, and each upper part of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment. A lengthwise middle portion of the protection body 11 is cut off, and four upper protection bodies 16 having a concave portion 16a which is applied to an upper end corner of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 on the lower surface are applied to an upper end corner of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2, An upper cover 12 similar to that of the second embodiment is placed over the upper protection body 16 to protect the upper end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2. Other configurations are second
This is the same as the embodiment.

In the third embodiment, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is installed from the packaged state, the band 17 is removed, and the lower protection body 1, the upper protection body 16 and the upper lid body 12 are removed from the air conditioner outdoor unit 2. , Four upper protective bodies 16
And the four corners at the lower end of the outdoor unit 2 are received. That is, the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is placed on the ground at a position for receiving the lower end corner of the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 having a rectangular planar shape such that the concave portion 16a faces upward with the upper protective body 16 facing down. By mounting the lower end of the machine 2 so as to fit into the concave portion 16a, the upper protection body 16 is used as a mounting table when the air conditioner outdoor unit 2 is installed.
