DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner of this kind will be described with reference to FIG. When the compressor 12 is installed on the substrate 11, condensed water, defrost water, infiltrating rainwater, and the like of the heat exchanger 13 disposed on the substrate 11 at the rear portion are flooded on the substrate 1, and the steel plate of the compressor 12 Shell made of steel is corroded. Therefore, a narrowed portion 16 is provided on the substrate 11 and the compressor 12 is provided above the narrowed portion 16, thereby preventing corrosion due to flooding. Reference numeral 14 denotes a blower disposed at the front center, and reference numeral 15 denotes an electric box provided at an upper portion.

[0003]

However, if a throttle is provided on the substrate and a compressor is installed, the height of the entire outdoor unit is increased by the height of the throttle.

An object of the present invention is to prevent a compressor from being corroded by flooding such as condensed water, defrost water, and infiltrating rainwater from a heat exchanger without increasing the overall height of an outdoor unit. Things.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is such that the compressor is welded to an enclosing plate substrate by welding, caulking or the like so as to surround the compressor.

[0006]

The operation of the above technical means is as follows.

[0007] That is, by installing a shroud surrounding the compressor, the compressor is prevented from being flooded by condensed water, defrost water and infiltrating rainwater in the heat exchanger.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3. FIG. In FIGS. 2 and 3, the same components as those in FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the overall configuration of the interior of an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which a compressor 2 is installed on a substrate 1 and a blower 3 is installed in a central front part. In the rear part, a heat exchanger 4 is placed on the substrate 1.
Was installed, and an electrical box 5 was arranged above. Reference numeral 6 denotes an enclosing plate welded to the substrate 1 so as to surround the compressor 2. FIG. 2 shows a detailed description of the shroud 6 in the embodiment of the present invention, showing the correlation between the substrate of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the compressor and the shroud, and FIG. Show. In FIG. 2, an enclosing plate 6 surrounds the entire compressor 2 and is securely welded to the substrate 1 by welding or caulking at several places. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the surrounding plate 6 is fixed to the substrate 1.

According to the above configuration, the condensed water and defrosted water generated in the heat exchanger 4 and the rainwater entering the heat exchanger 4 temporarily accumulate inside the substrate 1. The compressor 2 does not flood.

[0010]

As is apparent from the above embodiment, by installing an enclosing plate securely welded to a substrate so as to surround a compressor installed on the substrate, condensation generated in a heat exchanger provided on the substrate is achieved. The compressor can be prevented from being corroded by water, defrost water, and rainwater that has entered from the heat exchanger, and the shell of the compressor can be prevented from corroding.At the same time, the size of the outdoor unit can be reduced without increasing the overall height. Can be realized.
