Abstract
Description
本発明は、冷媒配管接続部が本体から外部へ突出され、本体の冷媒配管接続部が貫通する開口が冷媒配管接続部を除きパネルで覆われてなる空気調和機に関する。 The present invention relates to an air conditioner in which a refrigerant pipe connection portion projects outward from a main body, and an opening through which the refrigerant pipe connection portion of the main body passes is covered with a panel except for the refrigerant pipe connection portion.
従来より、冷媒配管接続部が本体から外部へ突出され、本体の冷媒配管接続部が貫通する開口が冷媒配管接続部を除きパネルで覆われてなる空気調和機において、前記パネルを、前記冷媒配管接続部の配設位置を境にして分割された上下2つのパネルで構成するとともに、冷媒配管の下側に位置するパネルは垂直方向にスライドさせることで着脱可能である構成として、容易に取り付け、取り外しすることができるようにしたものがある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。 Conventionally, in an air conditioner in which a refrigerant pipe connection portion protrudes from the main body and an opening through which the refrigerant pipe connection portion of the main body passes is covered with a panel except for the refrigerant pipe connection portion, the panel is connected to the refrigerant pipe. It is composed of two upper and lower panels divided with the connection position as a boundary, and the panel located on the lower side of the refrigerant pipe can be attached and detached easily by sliding in the vertical direction, There is one that can be removed (for example, see Patent Document 1).
また、空気調和機本体の外殻を構成している板金製の箱型の本体ケースの側面を切り欠いて冷媒配管導出用の切欠部を形成し、この切欠部を覆うように配管押え板を取り付け、配管押え板に冷媒配管を押えるU字溝を形成し、このU字溝の各々の縁部に、例えばバーリング加工等によって折曲片を形成し、これらの折曲片が前記冷媒配管の外周面と面接触するようにしたものも提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。 In addition, the side of the sheet metal box-shaped main body case that forms the outer shell of the air conditioner body is cut away to form a cutout portion for leading out the refrigerant pipe, and a pipe presser plate is installed to cover this cutout portion. A U-shaped groove for holding the refrigerant pipe is formed on the pipe holding plate, and a bent piece is formed on each edge of the U-shaped groove by, for example, burring, etc., and these bent pieces are formed on the refrigerant pipe. Some have been proposed that are in surface contact with the outer peripheral surface (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
しかしながら、本体の冷媒配管接続部が貫通する開口を覆うパネルを冷媒配管接続部の配設位置を境にして分割された上下2つのパネルで構成し、単に冷媒配管の下側に位置するパネルを垂直方向にスライドして着脱可能としたものにあっては、本体内部にある熱交換器の洗浄や修理といったサービスの作業性を向上させることを主な目的としているため、空気調和機内部で熱交換されて冷やされた冷気が分割されたパネル間の隙間から洩れるのを防止する対策が十分でなく、冷気洩れによる結露を防止できなかった。 However, the panel that covers the opening through which the refrigerant pipe connection part of the main body passes is composed of two upper and lower panels that are divided with the refrigerant pipe connection part as a boundary, and the panel that is simply located below the refrigerant pipe For those that can be removed by sliding vertically, the main purpose is to improve the workability of services such as cleaning and repairing the heat exchanger inside the main unit. Measures to prevent the exchanged and cooled cold air from leaking through the gaps between the divided panels were not sufficient, and condensation due to cold air leakage could not be prevented.
また、本体ケースの側面に冷媒配管導出用の切欠部を形成し、この切欠部を覆うように配管押え板を取り付け、配管押え板に冷媒配管を押えるU字溝を形成し、このU字溝の各々の縁部に、バーリング加工等によって折曲片を形成したものにあっては、板金を90°折り曲げて形成したものであるため、板金加工の際に生ずるバリにより、組立作業やサービス作業の際に作業者が手を切ってしまうなど、作業性、安全性に課題を残していた。 Also, a notch for leading out the refrigerant pipe is formed on the side surface of the main body case, a pipe holding plate is attached so as to cover the notch, and a U-shaped groove for holding the refrigerant pipe is formed on the pipe holding plate. In the case of bent pieces formed by burring or the like at each edge of the sheet metal, since the sheet metal is bent 90 °, assembly work and service work are caused by burrs generated during sheet metal processing. There were still problems in workability and safety.
本発明は、前記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、本体の冷媒配管接続部が貫通する開口を覆うパネルを分割構成とする場合において、冷気洩れによる結露を防止でき、かつ組立作業やサービス作業時の作業性、安全性を向上させることができるようにすることを目的としている。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. In the case where the panel covering the opening through which the refrigerant pipe connection portion of the main body passes is divided, it is possible to prevent condensation due to cold air leakage and to assemble the panel. It is intended to improve workability and safety during work and service work.
本発明に係る空気調和機は、断熱性を有する弾性体で構成されたパイプカバーで覆われた冷媒配管接続部が本体から外部へ突出され、前記本体の前記冷媒配管接続部が貫通する開口が、前記パイプカバーで覆われた前記冷媒配管接続部を除きパネルで覆われてなる空気調和機において、前記パネルが、前記冷媒配管接続部の配設位置を境にして分割された2つのパネルで構成されているとともに、これら2つのパネルには前記パイプカバーで覆われた前記冷媒配管接続部を挟み込むためのU字溝がそれぞれ形成されており、かつ一方のパネルは着脱可能に構成され、その前記U字溝の縁部にはカーリングが形成されているものである。 In the air conditioner according to the present invention, the refrigerant pipe connection portion covered with a pipe cover made of an elastic body having heat insulation properties projects from the main body to the outside, and the opening through which the refrigerant pipe connection portion of the main body passes is provided. In the air conditioner that is covered with a panel except for the refrigerant pipe connection portion covered with the pipe cover, the panel is divided into two panels separated by the arrangement position of the refrigerant pipe connection portion. These two panels are each formed with U-shaped grooves for sandwiching the refrigerant pipe connection portion covered with the pipe cover, and one panel is configured to be removable. Curling is formed at the edge of the U-shaped groove.
本発明に係る空気調和機においては、着脱可能に構成されたパネルのU字溝の縁部にカーリングが形成されているので、バリが無く、パネルがパイプカバーの表面を滑り易くなり、パネルがパイプカバーに引っ掛かることが無く、組立作業やサービス作業時の作業性、安全性が向上し、かつ密着性が高くなる。このため、空気調和機内部で熱交換されて冷やされた冷気が、分割されたパネル間の隙間から洩れるのを防止することができ、冷気洩れによる結露を未然に防止することができる。 In the air conditioner according to the present invention, curling is formed at the edge of the U-shaped groove of the detachable panel, so that there is no burr and the panel easily slides on the surface of the pipe cover. It does not get caught in the pipe cover, improving workability and safety during assembly work and service work, and improving adhesion. For this reason, it is possible to prevent cold air that has been cooled by heat exchange inside the air conditioner from leaking through the gaps between the divided panels, and it is possible to prevent condensation due to cold air leakage.
図1は本発明の実施形態に係る空気調和機の化粧パネルを外し下面側を上にした状態を示す斜視図である。本発明の実施形態に係る空気調和機は、天井埋込型の空気調和機である。この空気調和機は、図1及び図2のように本体1の外殻が、基本的に板金で構成されるドラム2と、ドラム2の冷媒配管接続部10が貫通する開口(図示せず)を覆う板金製のパネル11とで構成されている。パネル11は、冷媒配管接続部10の配設位置を境にして分割された2つのパネルすなわち上パネル3と下パネル4で構成されている。
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the decorative panel of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention is removed and the lower surface is turned up. An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is a ceiling-embedded air conditioner. In this air conditioner, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the outer shell of the main body 1 is basically an opening (not shown) through which the drum 2 composed of sheet metal and the refrigerant

FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the vicinity of a refrigerant pipe connecting portion, which is a main part of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram of a detachable panel of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is an enlarged perspective view, and FIG. 4 is an enlarged side view of the curling portion of the detachable panel of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerant
本発明の実施形態に係る空気調和機は、以上のように構成され、液冷媒配管5及びガス冷媒配管6が、現地にて配管を通じて室外機と接続される。着脱可能な下パネル4は、パイプカバー7,8の表面で軸方向にスライドされ、さらにパイプカバー7,8の径方向に圧縮されることで取り付けられる。その際、下パネル4には、外側寄りに位置するU字溝12bの縁部にカーリング9が形成されているため、バリが無く、下パネル4をパイプカバー7,8の表面に引っ掛かけること無く、スムーズに移動させることができ、浮き上がりを防止することができる。また、カーリング9部がパイプカバー7,8の外周面と面接触し、密着性が高くなる。このため、上下パネル3,4間、及び上下パネル3,4とパイプカバー7,8との間に隙間が発生せず、空気調和機内部で熱交換されて冷やされた冷気の漏洩が無くなり、冷気洩れによる結露の発生を未然に防止することができるとともに、組立作業やサービス作業の際に作業者が安全に作業でき、作業性、安全性が向上する。
The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, and the
また、カーリング9が補強リブとして働くので、剛性が高くなり、下パネル4のU字溝12bと外側辺との間の距離(幅)が、内側寄りに位置するU字溝12aと内側辺との間の距離(幅)に比べて小さくても、U字溝12bの円弧の外側端部の組付時の浮き上がりを防止することができる。さらに、取り付け時におけるねじ止め等の外力によって下パネル4が撓んで隙間ができてしまうことを防止できる。
