Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To devise the storage of accessories, make a packing volume smaller and reduce a number of component parts in order to solve such problems that a packing volume becomes larger and a number of component parts is increased because accessories, power cords and plugs are put into dedicated boxes and stored under an air conditioner in the packing of an air conditioner or the like. SOLUTION: The shapes of accessories, power cords, etc., for an air conditioner are devised to be stored in right and left cushioning members, thereby improving a volume efficiency and reducing a number of component parts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to packaging of an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional packing of an air conditioner or the like will be described with reference to FIGS. Air conditioner indoor unit 3
An accessory box 34 containing accessories such as a remote controller 32 and a remote controller case 33 is placed under the box 1 and a box-shaped side plate having a substantially U-shaped cross section orthogonal to both longitudinal sides of the indoor unit 31. The recessed part 36 of 35 is fitted around the corrugated cardboard sleeve 37 and packed with a staple 38PP band 39. This type of packing is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-21630.
No., published in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No.

[0003]

In the case of such a packing form, a hollow portion having a D1 dimension (see FIGS. 12 and 13) corresponding to the height of the accessory box 34 is provided below the box-shaped side plate 35. The holding section 40 is provided with an upper face decorative section 41 of the indoor unit 31 on the upper side.
D2 so that it does not come into contact with the sleeve
It was necessary to form and protect the inner hollow holding portion 42 having the dimensions.

[0004] For this reason, there are defects such as an increase in the number of parts and an increase in the packing dimension H2, resulting in a decrease in volumetric efficiency in a warehouse or the like.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to reduce the cost of materials by reducing the number of packaging parts and reducing the size of packaging by removing accessory boxes when packing an air conditioner, and to reduce the cost of packaging. Another object of the present invention is to make it possible to improve the volume efficiency by improving the performance and reducing the packing volume.

[0006]

The above object is achieved by using a box-shaped side plate which is fitted into both longitudinal ends of an indoor unit and has a concave portion into which the end of the indoor unit can be inserted. In the air conditioner to be packed, when the indoor unit is packed, an opening is provided on the side of the side plate facing the decorative board of the indoor unit, and accessories are stored in the opening and packed. This is achieved by:

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, a concave portion of a box-shaped side plate 2 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fitted into the air conditioner indoor unit 1 at right angles to both sides in the longitudinal direction, and a sleeve cardboard 4 is wound around the staple 5PP band. Pack in 6. However, the lower part of the box-shaped side plate 2 was removed from the conventional accessory box 34, so that a flat holding portion 7 was formed. An upper portion of the box-shaped side plate 2 is provided with an inner hollow holding portion 8 having a dimension D1 corresponding to the height of a conventional accessory box, and an opening 9 is formed on the upper surface thereof. Accessories such as the remote controller 10 and the remote controller case 11 are dispersed and stored in the opening 9 in the opening 9 of the left and right box-shaped side plates 2, and the upper surface decorative portion 12 of the indoor unit 1 is not damaged by the sleeve cardboard 4. Space was provided.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a slit 27 is provided on the upper side of the concave portion 3 and beside the opening 9, and the teeth of the power plug 13 are inserted and fixed in the slit 27 as shown in FIG. did. As a result, the packaging height H1 can be reduced to the height of the dimension D2 corresponding to the conventional upper holding portion, the component costs of the box-shaped side plate 2 and the sleeve cardboard 3 can be reduced, and the attached box can be removed. In addition, cost reduction becomes possible.

In FIGS. 4 to 9, a small hole 14 is provided in the outer wall of the opening 9 of the box-shaped side plate 2 so that accessories and the like stored in the opening 9 can be identified from the outside in a packed state. did. This prevents it from being discarded together with the packing material.

Further, a cut is made on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the opening 9 so as to extend over one side except for one side, thereby forming the flapper 15.
Are formed, and ruled lines 16 and 17 are inserted thereinto and bent inward to prevent misalignment of accessories and the like.
Nine.

Further, slits 21 and 22 and upper and lower ruled lines 23 and
24, the flaps 25 and 26 are closed during storage to prevent dust from entering, and the flaps 25 and 26 are bent inward during handling of a load so that a hand or the like can be easily inserted.

Further, a slit 27 provided beside the opening 9 is provided.
Are formed in three T-shapes at positions corresponding to the tooth shape of the power plug 13 and have different tooth shapes depending on the current capacity.
8, 29 and 30 can be easily inserted and attached.

According to the present embodiment, since accessories such as a remote controller and a power plug can be stored in the box-shaped side plate without using the accessory box 34, the number of parts can be reduced. , Box-shaped side plate 2 and sleeve cardboard 4
Since the material cost could be reduced by reducing the size of the device, the cost could be reduced. In addition, it has become possible to improve the packing efficiency and the volume efficiency by reducing the packing volume.

[0014]

As described above, according to the present invention, when packing an air conditioner, it is possible to reduce the cost of materials by reducing the number of packing parts by removing the accessory box and reducing the size of the packing. In addition, it is possible to improve the packing efficiency and the volume efficiency by reducing the packing volume.
