DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a refrigerant distribution box structure for an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a refrigerant branch box 1 of this type of air conditioner.
Has a structure as shown in FIG. 3 , for example. That is, in consideration of the time when the refrigerant distribution box 1 is detached, the inspection port 9 is opened,
A plurality of refrigerant outlet-side pipes 10 and inlet-side pipes 11 having the same length from the lower side of the ceiling surface and arranged in a line in the vertical direction are connected, and joints 12 and 13 are respectively provided to provide a spanner 1.
It was configured to be able to be detached using 4.

[0003]

However, in the case of such a conventional structure, the length of the plurality of outlet side pipes 10 is the same, and they are arranged in a vertical line.
When removing the pipe 2, each of the outlet pipes 10 is provided with a spanner 14
, Making it difficult to detach the joint 12.

Accordingly, the present invention aims to shorten the working time by allowing the joint 12 to be easily detached when the refrigerant branch box is detached.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a plurality of outlet pipes for the refrigerant so as to become longer as the distance from the inspection lid increases.

[0006]

The operation of this technical means is as follows.
That is, when the refrigerant distribution box 51 is mounted, it is mounted with the spanner 14 in the order of the joints 58 a, 58 b, 58 c from the inspection space B, that is, in the order farther from the inspection lid 59. Also, when removing the joint 58 in the reverse order.
Remove c, 58b and 58a in this order. As a result, when the joints 58a, 58b, 58c are detached, the outlet pipes 56a, 56b, 56c can be easily detached without contacting the spanner 14, thereby shortening the working time.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG .
A description will be given based on FIG . Here, the same components as those in the conventional example are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 51 denotes a refrigerant branch box of an air conditioner, which is provided with outlet pipes 56a, 56b, 56c protruding from one side surface of a main body 52 of the refrigerant branch box 51. The outlet pipes 56a, 56b, 56
The distance between c is set to m and n, respectively. Further, the refrigerant distribution box 51 is configured to be attached to the inspection lid 59 that covers the storage portion H of the refrigerant distribution box 51 in a state where the refrigerant distribution box 51 is offset to the end J. As a result, the maintenance space has a space A facing the cover 53 and a space B facing the side surface 61.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. First, when the refrigerant distribution box 51 is mounted, it is mounted with the spanner 14 in the order of the joints 58a, 58b, and 58c from the inspection space B. When detaching, the joints 58c, 58b, 58a are detached in the reverse order.

As a result, the joints 58a, 58b, 5
Outlet pipes 56a, 56b, 56c
Since the distances between them are set to m and n, respectively, when the joints 58a, 58b, and 58c are attached and detached, the outlet pipes 56a, 56b, and 56c can be easily attached and detached without contacting the spanner 14, It is intended to shorten the working time.

[0011]

According to the present invention, the outlet pipes 56a, 56b and 56c can be easily attached and detached without contacting the spanner 14 when the refrigerant junction box is attached and detached, thereby shortening the working time. is there.
