BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and more particularly, to a mounting structure of a front plate and a side plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an air conditioner according to the prior art, as shown in FIG.
An outdoor heat exchanger 4 and a blower 6 sandwiched between the two are disposed, and a compressor 7 is provided on the other side.
It is attached to the end plate 5. The housing 1 includes a front plate 8, a side plate 9, and a top plate 10. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part, and FIG.
Is an exploded view thereof. As shown in the figure, the side plate 9 extends the front portion, bends and forms a part of the front surface, and is connected to the front plate 8. However, when the connection portion 11 has a gap and the top plate 10 is fixed with screws. Particularly, since the upper portion of the front plate 8 moves rearward, a gap is also generated here, and there is a disadvantage that the appearance is significantly impaired.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has as its object to provide a structure of a housing which does not have a gap that impairs the appearance.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a blower is arranged on one side of a base partitioned by a partition plate, and an L-shaped fan is provided at the rear and side of the blower. An outdoor heat exchanger is provided, a front plate having a through hole is provided in front of the blower, and a side plate is provided on the side, and the front portion of the side plate is extended, bent and part of the front surface. In the air conditioner connected to the front plate and covered with a top plate, a side portion of the front plate is bent forward to form a bent portion,
Extend the front part of the side plate and bend it to form part of the front.
After bending its end backward, bend it inward and attach
On the other hand, the front plate and the side plate are covered with the top plate.
Equipped with a stepped part on each upper part so that the outer surface becomes uniform,
At the joint where these two meet,
With bent pieces toward
Locking means, wherein one of the bent pieces has a locking projection directed toward the other bending piece, and the locking projection and the other bending piece have respective end portions. Notches are provided in opposite directions to each other, and are engaged by intersecting the locking projections and the bent pieces and engaging the notches.

[0005]

[Function] Since the bent pieces come into contact with each other and are pulled together by the locking projections to be integrated, there is no gap between the side plate and the front plate, and the front plate is moved backward even when the top plate is mounted. There is no gap because it does not move.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an internal plan view of the present air conditioner, in which an air blower 6 is disposed on one side of a base 2 partitioned by a partition plate 3, and an L-shape sandwiched between end plates 5 on the rear and side portions of the air blower 6. Outdoor heat exchanger 4 is provided,
A front plate 8 having a through hole 8a is provided in front of the blower 6, and a side plate 9 having a ventilation hole 9a provided on a side is provided.
The side portion of the front plate 8 is bent forward to form a bent portion 8b, the front portion of the side plate 9 is extended, bent to form a part of the front surface, and the end portion is bent rearward to be inward. Bend and attach 9
b. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part, in which a front plate 8 and a side plate 9 are shown.
Is provided with stepped portions 8c and 9c on the respective upper portions so that the outer surface becomes uniform when the top plate 10 (not shown) is put thereon. In the connecting portion 11 where both abut against each other, each goes toward the rear. The bent pieces 8d and 9d are provided, and the bent pieces 8d are provided with locking projections 8e directed to the other bent piece 9d.
e and the other bent piece 9d are provided with notches 8f and 9e, which open toward the ends, respectively, in opposite directions. The notches 8f and 9e are tapered so that the bent pieces 8d and 9d are drawn closer as the engagement increases.

[0007] Therefore, when mounting, first, as shown in FIG.
End plate 5, blower 6, and front plate 8 are fixed. Next, in FIG. 2, the side plate 9 is inclined slightly rearward to be positioned on the upper left of the front plate, and the notch 9 e of the bent piece 9 d is engaged with the notch 9 f of the locking projection 8 e so as to be vertical. Return to the position and attach
To the end of the front plate with screws. Referring also to FIG.
The top plate 10 is put on the stepped portions 8c and 9c and fixed with screws.
At this time, the connecting portion 11 where the front plate 8 and the side plate 9 are abutted against each other.
Since the bent pieces 8d and 9d abut each other and are brought together by being pulled by the locking projections, no gap is generated, and even when the top plate 10 is mounted, the front plate 8 or the side plate 9 is positioned rearward. Since it does not move, there is no gap between it and the top plate 10.

[0008]

According to the present invention, the connecting portion is provided with a bent piece which is directed backward, and a locking means is provided for engaging the bent piece with each other, so that a gap between the front plate and the side plate or between these and the top plate is formed. There is no effect of obtaining a beautiful appearance.
