Description

  The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and more particularly to a structure that prevents damage to the air conditioner during transportation.

  In recent years, outdoor units of large-capacity type room air conditioners and outdoor units of packaged air conditioners have an opening that can be transported by a forklift to improve the transportability of the air conditioner body due to the increase in product weight accompanying the increase in size. It is provided and is configured to be able to be lifted and loaded through a belt or a rope through the opening when it is loaded into a higher floor of the building (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Below, the structure of the outdoor unit of the conventional air conditioner is demonstrated using FIG. In FIG. 4, an outdoor unit 1 of an air conditioner has a housing 5 formed of a top plate 2, a front plate 3, a side plate 4, and a bottom plate 6, and includes a fan, a power supply plate, a heat exchanger, and a compressor inside. Etc. (both not shown) are arranged.

  In addition, a pair of legs 7 that support the outdoor unit 1 are provided on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 6 in the front and rear. Is formed.

  In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner configured as described above, when the outdoor unit 1 is transported by a forklift, the forklift claw 8 is inserted into the insertion port 7a formed in the leg 7 and the outdoor unit 1 is lifted.

  Then, when the building is carried into the upper roof of the building next time, the outdoor unit 1 is lifted through a belt or a rope 9 through the insertion port 7a.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-145962

  However, in the configuration of the outdoor unit of the conventional air conditioner, the outdoor unit 1 can be stably lifted when the center of gravity is at the center, but if it is shifted to the left or right, The outdoor unit 1 is inclined to the left and right, and in the worst case, the belt or the rope 9 may be detached from the top plate 2 of the outdoor unit 1, which is a very unstable and dangerous transport operation.

  In order to solve the above problems, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can be safely lifted and carried by a belt or a rope without impairing the transport workability by a forklift with an inexpensive configuration. The purpose is to provide a unit.

In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner having at least a top plate and a pair of legs having an insertion port for inserting a forklift claw of a forklift at a lower part. When the outdoor unit is lifted and carried by a belt or rope, the center of gravity of the outdoor unit is provided by providing a protrusion that protrudes in the direction of inserting the forklift claw at the end of the top plate. Even when the outdoor unit main body is tilted to the left or right due to the left / right shift of the position, the belt or the rope is stopped by the protruding portion formed on the top plate, so that it can be safely carried in without being detached from the outdoor unit main body.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can provide an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can be safely lifted and carried by a belt or a rope without impairing the transport workability by a forklift with an inexpensive configuration.

The perspective view of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in Embodiment 1 of this invention The fragmentary perspective view of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in Embodiment 1 The partial perspective view of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in Embodiment 2 of this invention A perspective view of an outdoor unit of a conventional air conditioner

  An outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to a first aspect of the present invention is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner having at least a top plate and a pair of legs having an insertion port for inserting a forklift claw of a forklift at a lower portion. When the outdoor unit is lifted and carried by a belt or a rope, the outdoor unit is displaced by the left and right displacement of the center of gravity of the outdoor unit. Even when the main body is tilted to the left or right, the belt or the rope is stopped by the protrusion formed on the top plate, so that it can be safely carried in without being detached from the outdoor unit main body.

  In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the second invention, in particular in the first invention, the side surface of the top plate on the side where the projecting portion is provided has an uneven shape, so that the belt or the rope is in front of and behind the top plate. The belt or rope will not be displaced by being caught by the irregularities on the flange.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
Since the chassis configuration of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is the same as that of the conventional example, description thereof is omitted. The same parts as those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  1 is a perspective view of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of the outdoor unit.

  1 and 2, the pair of legs 7 that support the outdoor unit 1 provided on the front and back surfaces of the bottom plate 6 are a pair of left and right insertion ports 7a for inserting forklift claws 8 for transportation in the depth direction of the outdoor unit 1. The left and right ends of the flange 2a on the front and rear of the top plate 2 are respectively formed with protruding portions 2b that protrude forward.

  In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner configured as described above, the forklift pawl 8 is inserted into the insertion port 7a when transported by a forklift. The inserted forklift claw 8 can be transported by lifting the outdoor unit 1 on the peripheral upper side 7b of the insertion port 7a.

Next, when carrying in the building on the upper floor, the outdoor unit 1 is lifted by passing a belt or rope 9 through the insertion port 7a. At this time, when the position of the center of gravity of the outdoor unit 1 is shifted in the left-right direction from the center of the outdoor unit 1, the outdoor unit 1 is inclined in the left-right direction, but the belt or rope 9 is in front of and behind the top plate 2. By coming into contact with the protrusions 2b formed at the left and right ends of the flange 2a, the lifting work can be easily and safely performed without being detached from the top plate 2.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to easily and safely carry with an inexpensive configuration.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the above embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, the flanges 2a on the front and rear of the top plate 2 are formed to be uneven. As a result, even when a force that causes the outdoor unit 1 to tilt in the left-right direction is applied, the belt or the rope 9 is caught by the unevenness formed on the flange 2a of the top plate 2, or a part of the belt or the rope 9 is shifted to the left and right by the unevenness. It becomes difficult and safer transportation is possible.

  As described above, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention can be lifted and transported with a belt or rope easily and safely with a low-cost configuration, so that the work efficiency is very good and the product quality is also high. improves. Therefore, it is applicable not only to the outdoor unit of an air conditioner but also to heavy objects in general.
