Description

The present invention relates to a protective plate that prevents deformation of an air conditioner outdoor unit installed outdoors during exterior wall construction.

In the process of building and repairing a house, there are cases where exterior wall construction such as painting the exterior wall or installing an outdoor lamp is performed. Usually, the height of the outer wall of the first floor is about 2 to 3 meters. The height of the worker is 160 to 180 centimeters, and when painting or the like is performed on the upper part of the wall surface, it does not reach the place, so it is necessary to build a scaffold. However, if it is difficult to install scaffolding due to the proximity of houses on the adjacent site, a stepladder is used.
At this time, if the installation location of the stepladder is uneven, the ground is soft, or the installation space is narrow, the stepladder may not be stably installed and the work may be difficult. Therefore, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 disclose means for securing a stable scaffolding during outer wall construction by using a tripod as a stepladder or changing the length of the foot.

However, in a detached house, adjacent houses are close to each other and the passage is narrow, and in many cases, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner (hereinafter referred to as "air conditioner") is installed in the passage. In this case, even if the stepladder described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 is used, the stepladder can only be installed in the vicinity of the outdoor unit. For this reason, when working above the outdoor unit, the body must lean out from the stepladder and work, and the balance may be lost and the feet may be unintentionally placed on the outdoor unit. However, since the outer plate of the outdoor unit is made of a thin steel plate, there is a risk that the outer plate will be deformed by the weight of the body when the foot is placed on it.
Furthermore, there is a risk of slipping on the outdoor unit and injuring it, and when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed near the outer wall of the house, it is difficult to safely carry out the outer wall construction.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to prevent deformation of the outdoor unit and to work safely when the outer wall is constructed with the outdoor unit of the air conditioner installed near the outer wall of the house. It is supposed to be.

The first aspect of the present invention is a flat plate having a substantially rectangular plan view and made of a resin having a first surface which is one surface in the thickness direction and a second surface which is a surface opposite to the first surface. A top plate, a plurality of resin-made first ribs that project vertically from the second surface and extend in one direction along the second surface, and a plurality of resin-made first ribs that project vertically from the second surface and project from the second surface. A plurality of resin-made second ribs extending in a direction intersecting the one direction along the same direction, and a rubber non-slip member is provided on the opposite side of the first surface to the first rib and the first rib. / Or a protective plate for an air conditioner outdoor unit, which is fixed along the tip of the second rib.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, in the protective plate for the air conditioner outdoor unit of the first embodiment, the non-slip member is fixed at a position corresponding to at least a corner of the top plate on the opposite side of the first surface. It is characterized by being done.

The third embodiment of the present invention is the protective plate for the air conditioner outdoor unit of the first or second embodiment, and the first rib and / or the second rib is in the direction perpendicular to the top plate from the tip portion. The non-slip member has a bottom plate portion parallel to the top plate and a standing plate portion vertically protruding from the bottom plate portion, and the standing plate portion is said to have a notch extending to the bottom plate portion. It is characterized in that the bottom plate portion is fitted into the notch and is fixed along the tip portion of the first rib and / or the second rib.

In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the protective plate for an air conditioner outdoor unit in any one of the first to third aspects is subjected to anti-slip processing by forming a large number of irregularities on the first surface. It is characterized by being.

When the protective plate for the air conditioner outdoor unit according to the present invention is used, when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed near the outer wall of the house and the outer wall is constructed, it is unavoidable to put the foot on the outdoor unit. Even if there is, it is possible to prevent the outdoor unit from being deformed. Further, since it is possible to prevent the protective plate from skidding on the outdoor unit and to prevent the foot from slipping on the protective plate, it is possible to safely carry out the outer wall construction.

It is a perspective view of the protection plate for the air conditioner outdoor unit of this embodiment. It is the bottom view which looked at the protection plate for the air conditioner outdoor unit of this embodiment from the bottom. It is a bottom view of the protection plate for an air conditioner outdoor unit which is another embodiment. It is a partial cross-sectional view explaining the form of each rib of this embodiment.

An embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as “the present embodiment”) will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The protective plate for the air conditioner outdoor unit (hereinafter, simply referred to as “protective plate”) 10 of the present embodiment is an outdoor unit in advance when the outer wall is constructed with the outdoor unit of the air conditioner installed near the outer wall of the house. It is a protective plate to be placed on top.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the protective plate 10 of the present embodiment.
The protective plate 10 includes a top plate 11, a side cover 12, a plurality of first ribs 13, a plurality of second ribs 14, and a plurality of non-slip members 15. FIG. 1 shows a form in which a part of the top plate 11 and the side cover 12 is removed in order to facilitate understanding of the internal structure. As shown in FIG. 1, the directions indicated by the arrows in the thickness direction of the top plate 11 will be described as upward and downward, respectively. Further, the direction parallel to the long side of the top plate 11 may be referred to as the long side direction, and the direction parallel to the short side of the top plate 11 may be referred to as the short side direction.

In the protective plate 10, the top plate 11, the side cover 12, the plurality of first ribs 13, and the plurality of second ribs 14 are integrally molded by injection molding the molten polyethylene resin into the mold. ing. As the resin material to be used, various general-purpose resin materials such as vinyl chloride and polypropylene can be selected in addition to polyethylene.

The top plate 11 is a flat plate having a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above and having a thickness of about 1 to 5 mm. The length of the long side of the top plate 11 is 65 to 83 cm, and the length of the short side is about 23 to 31 cm. The size of the top plate 11 is not limited to this. The lengths of the long side and the short side are equal to or smaller than the size of the upper surface of the outdoor unit, and can be placed on the outdoor unit without protruding.
On the first surface 16 above FIG. 1, a large number of small protrusions having a height of about 0.5 mm to 2 mm are formed over almost the entire surface. By forming a large number of irregularities and performing anti-slip processing in this way, it is possible to prevent accidents such as slipping of the foot when the foot is unintentionally placed on the protective plate 10 as described later. The uneven shape of the first surface 16 may be formed by a plurality of linear protrusions parallel to or intersecting with each other, and can be formed in various forms.

The side cover 12 is bent at a substantially right angle from the outer circumferences of the four sides of the top plate 11 and extends downward. The side cover 12 is a protective member that covers the first rib 13 and the second rib 14 so that they cannot be seen from the outside. Further, the thickness of the side cover 12 is almost the same as that of the top plate 11.

FIG. 2 shows a form in which the protective plate 10 of the present embodiment is viewed from below. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of first ribs 13 and a plurality of second ribs 14 are formed on a second surface 17 which is a surface opposite to the first surface 16 of the top plate 11. The first rib 13 and the second rib 14 extend in a direction in which they intersect each other, and are arranged at equal intervals.

4 (a) to 4 (c) are partial cross-sectional views illustrating the morphology of the ribs 13 and 14 and the morphology of the non-slip member 15. FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view taken in the direction of the arrow at the position of AA in FIG. 4B. FIG. 4B is a cross-sectional view taken in the direction of the arrow at the position of BB in FIG. 4A. FIG. 4 (c) is a cross-sectional view taken in the direction of the arrow at the position of CC in FIG. 4 (a). Note that FIGS. 4A to 4C exemplify the morphology of the ribs 13 and 14 at the corners of the top plate 11, but the morphology of the ribs 13 and 14 is the same at other positions as well. ..
Both the first rib 13 and the second rib 14 project vertically downward from the second surface 17 of the top plate 11 and extend in a direction intersecting each other along the second surface 17. Both ends of the ribs 13 and 14 in the extending direction are connected to the side cover 12, respectively.
The heights of the ribs 13 and 14 are equal to each other. In the present embodiment, the position of the tip portion of each of the ribs 13 and 14 is substantially the same as the position of the lower end portion of the side cover 12, but the position is not limited to this, and the tip portion of each rib 13 and 14 is attached. The non-slip member 15 may be formed so as to project downward from the side cover 12.

The non-slip member 15 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 4. The non-slip member 15 is a form in which the bottom plate portion 18 and the standing plate portion 19 vertically projecting from the center of the bottom plate portion 18 are integrally combined. The non-slip member 15 is integrally molded into a predetermined shape by vulcanizing and molding natural rubber in a mold. The material of rubber is not limited to this.
The non-slip member 15 is fixed below the protective plate 10 at a position corresponding to a corner of the top plate 11 along the tip of the first rib 13 and / or the second rib 14. The corner portion refers to a region near the apex of the top plate 11 (four points where the long side and the short side of the top plate 11 intersect).

As shown in FIG. 4, a notch 20 is formed in the first rib 13. The notch 20 is formed at the center of two second ribs 14 adjacent to each other at the tip of the first rib 13, and the top plate 11 is formed from the tip of the first rib 13 toward the base end. It extends vertically. The depth H0 from the opening side end portion to the bottom portion of the notch 20 is slightly larger than the length H1 of the standing plate portion 19 of the non-slip member 15. Further, the width dimension W0 of the notch 20 is slightly smaller than the width dimension W1 of the standing plate portion 19. By doing so, the standing plate portion 19 is fitted into the notch 20 with a tightening margin, so that the non-slip member 15 is integrally assembled with the first rib 13 so as not to easily fall off.
Thus, the protective plate 10 of the present embodiment is made of rubber along the tips of the first rib 13 and / or the second rib 14 on the opposite side of the first surface 16 at the position corresponding to the corner portion of the top plate 11. The non-slip member 15 can be easily fixed.

Next, how to use the protective plate 10 will be described.
The protective plate 10 is used by being placed on the outdoor unit in advance when the outer wall is constructed with the outdoor unit of the air conditioner installed near the outer wall of the house.
The protective plate 10 has a size equal to or smaller than the size of the upper surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and the non-slip member 15 is provided at a position corresponding to the corner of the top plate 11, so that the protective plate 10 is placed on the outdoor unit. When mounted, the non-slip member 15 is surely in contact with the upper surface of the outdoor unit.
When working above the outdoor unit when constructing the outer wall, the stepladder is usually moved closer to the outdoor unit, and the body leans out from the stepladder to work. For this reason, the balance may be lost and the foot may be unintentionally placed on the outdoor unit. Even in such a case, since the non-slip member 15 is in reliable contact with the upper surface of the outdoor unit, it is possible to prevent the protective plate 10 from skidding. Further, since the first surface 16 of the top plate 11 is anti-slip processed, the foot does not slip on the protective plate 10.

Further, in the protective plate 10 of the present embodiment, the first rib 13 and the second rib 14 are formed in a direction in which they intersect with each other. As a result, since the bending load in any direction can be supported, the weight of the protective plate 10 can be reduced and high bending strength can be maintained. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deflection of the protective plate 10 when both ends of the protective plate 10 are supported and a load is applied to the center.

In this way, since the protective plate 10 of the present embodiment has sufficient bending strength, when the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed near the outer wall of the house and the outer wall is constructed, the top of the outdoor unit is used. Even if you have to put your foot on it, you can prevent the outdoor unit from being deformed or damaged, and you can safely work on the outer wall. Further, even if the work tool falls on the outdoor unit, it is possible to prevent the outdoor unit from being damaged.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the contents described above are examples, and the present invention is not limited to these contents, and various changes can be made within the scope of the purpose of the invention.
For example, in the present embodiment, the standing plate portion 19 of the non-slip member 15 is held by the first ribs 13 at two locations, the first and the second from the side cover 12 on the short side. The holding position is not limited to this, and the same notch 20 is provided in each of the first ribs 13 of the third, fourth, and so on, and the non-slip member 15 extending further in the long side direction is provided. You may use it. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, another anti-slip member 21 may be further installed in the center of the top plate 11, and although not shown, the anti-slip members 15 and 21 are placed on the entire lower surface of the protective plate 10. It may be installed in.

Further, in the above embodiment, the standing plate portion 19 is formed in the center of the bottom plate portion 18. On the other hand, although not shown, the standing plate portion 19 may be formed at a position deviated from the center of the bottom plate portion 18 to one side. Further, the cross section may be L-shaped with the position shifted to the end of the bottom plate portion 18. Further, although the notch 20 is formed in each of the ribs 13 and 14 in the above embodiment, the same notch may be formed in the non-slip member 15 and the notch 20 in each of the ribs 13 and 14 may be eliminated.

Further, when fixing the non-slip member 15 to the tip portions of the ribs 13 and 14, the ribs 13 and 14 are not provided with a notch, and the non-slip member 15 has a flat plate shape without a standing plate portion 19. It can also be formed from the rubber plate of the above and fixed to each other with an adhesive.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the extending directions of the first rib 13 and the second rib 14 are formed so as to be inclined with respect to the long side direction and the short side direction of the top plate 11 and intersect with each other. It may be formed in. Further, although the above-described embodiments show a form in which the first rib 13 and the second rib 14 are orthogonal to each other (a form in which the first rib 13 and the second rib 14 intersect at 90 °), they may intersect at an angle other than 90 °.
