Description

  The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner and an air conditioner including the outdoor unit, and more particularly to a structure of a partition wall that separates a machine room and a fan room.

  In the separation structure of the machine room and the fan room in the conventional outdoor unit of the air conditioner, a heat exchanger and a partition plate made of a metal plate are erected and fixed to a bottom plate made of a metal plate. There is an electric component box of a resin molded product whose portion is cut and covered with a metal plate, and the machine room and the fan room are installed across the cut portion (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2000-104950 A (page 4-5, FIG. 1 to FIG. 3)

The partition plate of the outdoor unit of Patent Document 1 is large because it is formed at the same height as the heat exchanger, and a part of the partition plate is cut so that the electric parts straddle the machine room and the fan room. Since the box was set up, the parts to be cut and discarded were large, which made the material waste.
In addition, since a large load is applied to the partition plate by installing an electrical component box on the upper portion of the partition plate, it must be firmly fixed to the heat exchanger over the entire length of the partition plate, which increases the cost. It was.

  The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and the partition wall separating the machine room and the fan room is constituted by a low partition plate and a relay panel provided on the partition wall. An object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor unit capable of eliminating waste that is partially cut and discarded, and an air conditioner equipped with the outdoor unit.

  The outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention includes a heat exchanger that is erected and fixed from one side surface of the bottom plate to the back side, a machine room that is erected and fixed on the bottom plate, and a compressor and the like are installed. A partition that separates a blower chamber in which a blower or the like is installed, and the partition is formed in a substantially L shape with a height lower than that of the heat exchanger, and a partition plate that is erected and fixed to the bottom plate, The relay panel is formed in an L shape and fixed on the partition plate.

  Moreover, the air conditioner which concerns on this invention is equipped with said outdoor unit.

  According to the present invention, the partition that separates the machine room and the blower room is configured by the partition plate whose height is lower than that of the heat exchanger and the relay panel attached to the upper end portion thereof. It is possible to obtain an outdoor unit and an air conditioner equipped with the outdoor unit that can reduce the cost without wasting materials such as cutting and discarding parts.

It is a disassembled perspective view of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner which concerns on one embodiment of this invention. It is an external appearance perspective view of the outdoor unit of FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the assembly procedure of the outdoor unit of FIG. It is explanatory drawing of the assembly procedure of the outdoor unit of FIG.

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an external perspective view of the outdoor unit of FIG.
The exterior of the outdoor unit 1 includes a bottom plate 2 made of a metal plate, an L-shaped front panel 3 having an opening 3a that is an air outlet on the front side, and an outside air inlet 3b provided on the side surface. It consists of an L-shaped side panel 4 and a top plate 5. In addition, although the blowing grill is provided in the opening part 3a of the front panel 3, it is abbreviate | omitting in the figure.

  An L-shaped heat exchanger 6 is erected and fixed to the bottom plate 2 from the side surface to the back surface, and at a position slightly offset from one side (the right side in FIG. 1) of the bottom plate 2, there is almost L. A partition plate 8 having a letter shape and a height lower than that of the heat exchanger 6 (for example, about 60% of the height of the heat exchanger 6) is fixed upright.

  A relay panel 9 having a panel bottom plate 9a at the lower end is fixed to the upper end portion of the partition plate 8 and is substantially the same size as the partition plate 8. It is almost the same height as the upper edge of the heat exchanger 6. And the rear edge part of the partition plate 8 and the relay panel 9 is being fixed to the heat exchanger 6, and the partition 7 is comprised by these partition plates 8 and the relay panel 9. FIG.

  In this way, the compressor 12 and the piping installed on the bottom plate 2 are arranged in the region on one side separated by the partition wall 7, and the electrical component is placed on the panel bottom plate 9 a of the relay panel 9. A box (not shown) is installed. Hereinafter, this region is referred to as a machine room 10.

  On the other side separated by the partition wall 7, there is provided a motor mounting plate 13 having a lower end portion erected and fixed to the bottom plate 2 and an upper portion fixed to the heat exchanger 6. The drive motor of the air blower 14 arrange | positioned facing the opening part 3a of the front panel 3 is attached. Hereinafter, this region is referred to as a blower chamber 11.

Next, an example of the assembly procedure of the outdoor unit 1 configured as described above will be described.

Further, the lower end portion of the motor mounting plate 13 is fixed to the bottom plate 2 of the blower chamber 11, the upper portion is fixed to the heat exchanger 6, and the motor of the blower 14 is attached to the motor mounting plate 13. Thereby, the attachment of the main components to the machine room 10 and the blower room 11 partitioned by the partition wall 7 is completed.

  When the installation of the parts is completed, the front panel 3 has its opening 3a facing the blower 14 and the suction port 3b is positioned on the side of the heat exchanger 6 so that the front side of the machine room 10 and the blower room 11 Is fixed to the bottom plate 2 and the heat exchanger 6. Next, the side panel 4 is arranged from the side surface to the back side of the machine room 10, the lower end portion is fixed to the bottom plate 2, and both side edges are fixed to the front panel 3 and the heat exchanger 6. Finally, the top plate 5 is placed on the upper surface and fixed to the front panel 3, the side panel 4 and the heat exchanger 6. Thereby, the assembly is completed.

  According to the present invention, the partition wall 7 that separates the machine room 10 and the blower room 11 is constituted by the partition plate 8 fixed to the bottom plate 2 and the relay panel 9 attached to the upper end portion thereof, so that a large partition plate is used. Therefore, it is not necessary to cut and discard unnecessary portions, so that waste of materials can be saved and cost can be reduced.
