Features.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

  First, the configuration of the heat source unit will be described with reference to FIGS. In the figure, the heat source unit 10 is provided with a side plate 22 on the side of a rectangular casing, a heat exchanger 28, a compressor 27, etc. on a substrate 21, and further partitioned into a space between the heat exchanger 28 and the compressor 27. A plate 26 is disposed, the power supply box 24 is placed above the partition plate 26, and lead wire through holes 43 are disposed on the side surfaces of the power supply box 24.

  A metal power box cover 25 that is disposed on the lower surface side of the power box 24 and covers some of the electrical components extends from the power box cover 25 and is fixed to the upper side of the side plate 22. In addition, the locking piece 29 that protects the lead wire through hole disposed on the side surface of the power supply box is formed integrally with the power supply plate cover 25.

  An insertion hole 40 is provided on the upper surface of the locking piece 29 that is aligned with the upper surface of the side plate 22, a flange hole 41 is provided on the upper side of the side plate 22, and a screw hole 42 is used.
