DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outdoor unit having a power supply cover for protecting electric components of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Even in a conventional outdoor unit of an air conditioner, a power supply cover forms a part of an outer box, protects electric components from harmful substances such as external moisture and dust, and facilitates service. In addition, it has the function of protecting the electric wires connecting the electrical components of the indoor unit and the connection terminals.

The structure of the power supply cover in the outdoor unit of the above-described conventional air conditioner will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 3, a power supply cover 1 constituting a part of an outer box 3 of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes an electric component 2,
It is provided to protect the power supply 5 connecting the electric components of the outdoor unit and the connection terminal 4.

In some cases, the connection valve cover 9 or the pipe cover 8 may be attached to the connection valve 6 for the purpose of dew treatment and exterior characteristics.

[0006]

In the construction described above, in order to meet the recent demand for a high exterior property, the electric unit 5 is simply installed in the outdoor unit installation work of the air conditioner.
To the connection terminal 4, attach the power supply cover 1,
In addition to connecting the pipe 7 to the connection valve 6, the connection valve cover 9 and the pipe cover 8 are often newly installed as separate parts. It takes a long construction time for that,
The problem of increased cost due to the increase in separate parts has arisen.

Further, since the electric wire 5 coming out of the power supply cover 1 and the pipe 7 coming out of the connection valve cover 8 are separate from each other, even when the electric wire 5 is stored in the pipe cover, there is an exposed portion 12 of the electric wire 5 to improve the exterior. Had been damaged.

Also, a handle 1 used when moving and transporting
In the case of No. 3, if it is a separate part, the exterior property is impaired due to an increase in cost, an appearance of the outer box and a power supply cover.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a method for simultaneously connecting a connection terminal and the connection valve.
An integrated power supply cover having a protecting function is provided .

[0010]

According to the present invention, high externality can be realized by increasing the degree of freedom in compactness and integration without increasing the construction time and parts due to such a structure.

[0011]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a connection valve cover.
9 is a power supply cover integrated with the outer box 3
The surface has substantially the same width over the top and bottom,
The shape is easy to store. Reference numeral 10 denotes an opening for taking out the electric wire and the pipe together, and a new pipe cover 8 is provided.
Even if a wire is attached, the wire is not exposed.
The power supply cover is also integrated with the handle 11 .

[0013]

As is apparent from the above embodiment, the present invention provides a power supply cover integrated with a connection valve cover.
With this, high energy savings can be achieved without increasing construction time and parts.
Terrier characteristics can be realized. In addition, wires and distribution
After connecting the pipes, install the power supply cover, which is a safety component.
It is extremely rare to forget
The connection valve cover is always attached, ensuring connection valve protection
Can be achieved.
