Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、空気調和機の室外機に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
分離型の空気調和機では、室外機と室内機との間に、ガス管及び液管から成る冷媒配管が接続される。そしてこの冷媒配管を介して室外機と室内機との間に冷媒を循環させ、冷熱又は温熱を搬送して室内の空調を行うようになっている。ただ空気調和機の設置時やメンテナンス時においては室外機と室内機との間に冷媒配管を接続していない場合もあり、このような場合には室外機から冷媒が漏出するのを防止する必要がある。そこでガス管及び液管の室外機出口側に、それぞれ外部から開閉操作可能なガス閉鎖弁及び液閉鎖弁を設け、室外機からの冷媒の漏出をコントロールできるようにしている。そしてこれに伴って室外機には、上記ガス閉鎖弁及び液閉鎖弁を外部に露出させるよう取り付ける閉鎖弁取付板が設けられている。
【０００３】
図４は、従来の空気調和機の室外機が備える底フレームを示す側面図である。この底フレームは、本体ケーシングの底面側を構成する底板４２と、この底板４２の側部に立設された閉鎖弁取付板４１とを備えて構成されている。閉鎖弁取付板４１は、液閉鎖弁を取り付けるための取付穴４５と、ガス閉鎖弁を取り付けるための取付穴４６とを互いに上下に備え、上下方向に長く横方向に短く成されている。また上記取付穴４５、４６の側方には、閉鎖弁を固定するためのビス穴５０が設けられている。そしてこの閉鎖弁取付板４１は、上記底板４２の側辺に形成された立縁部４３に、溶接箇所４７、４８でスポット溶接されるとともに、底面における溶接箇所（図示せず）で底板４２にスポット溶接され、上記底板４２に取り付けられている。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記室外機では、それぞれ別部材にて底板４２と閉鎖弁取付板４１とを形成している。そして両部材４１、４２をスポット溶接によって連結し、底フレームを構成している。従って閉鎖弁取付板４１と底板４２とを異なる板厚や材質を有する部材で構成できるという利点がある。しかしその一方、スポット溶接等の工数が必要なため、これがコストアップの一因になるという問題があった。
【０００５】
この発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、底フレームの組立工数を削減してコストダウンを図ることが可能な空気調和機の室外機を提供することにある。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで請求項１の空気調和機の室外機は、本体ケーシングの底側面を構成する底板２と、この底板２の側部に立設される閉鎖弁取付板１とを、単一の部材で一体に形成し、上記閉鎖弁取付板１に、上下方向に延びるリブ３、４を設け、また上記閉鎖弁取付板１は、ガス閉鎖弁と液閉鎖弁とを水平方向に並べて取り付けるよう成されており、さらに上記リブ３、４は、ガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブ３の断面形状を、液閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブ４の断面形状よりも太くしていることを特徴としている。
【０００７】
上記請求項１の空気調和機の室外機では、底板１と閉鎖弁取付板２とを単一の部材で一体物として形成しているから、両部材１、２の連結工程を省略することが可能となる。また、リブ３、４によって、閉鎖弁取付板１の強度を閉鎖弁を支持するのに十分なものとすることが可能となる。さらに、ガス閉鎖弁と液閉鎖弁とを水平方向に並べて取り付けるようにしているので、閉鎖弁の操作によって生じ、閉鎖弁取付板１に加えられるモーメントを、閉鎖弁を上下方向に並べて取り付ける場合よりも、小さくすることが可能となる。しかも、上記リブ３、４は、ガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブ３を液閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブ４よりも太くしているので、大型のガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側の閉鎖弁取付板１の強度がより強化されることになる。
【０００８】
また請求項２の空気調和機の室外機は、上記閉鎖弁取付板１の外周部は、側板１１に設けた切欠１２の周辺部によって外側から支持されていることを特徴としている。
【０００９】
上記請求項２の空気調和機の室外機では、上記閉鎖弁取付板１の外周部は、側板１１に設けた切欠１２の周辺部によって外側から支持されるので、外方への引張力が閉鎖弁取付板１に加えられても、側板１１によって閉鎖弁取付板１の変形を防止することができる。
【００１０】
さらに請求項３の空気調和機の室外機は、上記閉鎖弁取付板１には、上側角部を斜めに切り欠く切欠部１３を設け、取り付けられた閉鎖弁の近傍を側板１１によって支持するようにしていることを特徴としている。
【００１１】
上記請求項３の空気調和機の室外機では、取り付けられた液閉鎖弁の近傍を側板１１によって支持するようになっているので、閉鎖弁取付板１の変形はより確実に防止される。
【００１２】
【発明の実施の形態】
次に、この発明の空気調和機の室外機の具体的な実施の形態について、図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。
【００１３】
図２は、上記室外機の本体ケーシングを構成する底フレームの側面図である。この底フレームは、本体ケーシングの底面側を構成する底板２と、この底板２の短手側の側辺に立設された閉鎖弁取付板１とを、単一の部材で一体に形成して成されている。すなわち、底板２の周縁に立ち上げ形成された立縁部７を、底板２の短手辺中央部においてそのまま上方に延長し、閉鎖弁取付板１を形成しているのである。
【００１４】
図１（ａ）は上記閉鎖弁取付板１の正面図であり、同図（ｂ）はそのＡ−Ａ断面図である。これらの図に示すように閉鎖弁取付板１は、上下方向に短く横方向に長く成されている。そしてその中央部に、室外機の外側方へ向かって凸となるよう形成された弁取付部８が設けられている。そしてこの突出形成によって、弁取付部８と閉鎖弁取付板１との間を閉鎖弁取付板１の板面に対して斜めに連接する連接部９が、弁取付部８の周囲を取り囲むように形成されている。
【００１５】
上記弁取付部８には、ガス閉鎖弁を取り付けるための第１取付穴５と、液閉鎖弁を取り付けるための第２取付穴６とが、互いに水平方向に並べて設けられている。また両取付穴５、６の斜め両側方には、それぞれ閉鎖弁を固定するためのビス穴１０が設けられている。そして上記弁取付部８の両側方には、上記立縁部７の下端部から閉鎖弁取付板１の上部まで上下方向に延びるリブ３、４が設けられている。これらリブ３、４は、室外機の内側方へ向かって凹陥するよう断面ほぼ半円形に成され、第１取付穴５側に設けられた第１リブ３が、第２取付穴６側に設けられた第２リブ４よりも太く形成されている。また上記閉鎖弁取付板１には、その第２取付穴６側の上側角部を斜めに切り欠く切欠部１３が設けられている。そしてこの切欠部１３に沿って、上記連接部９にも斜めに延びる傾斜部１４が形成されている。
【００１６】
図３は、上記のような閉鎖弁取付板１と底板２とで構成された底フレームと、この底フレームに取り付けられる側板１１との組立を示す斜視図である。側板１１は、室外機内に設置された圧縮機等を、その側方及び背面側から覆うようにして取り付けられ、本体ケーシングを構成するものである。この側板１１の側面下部には、上記弁取付部８の外形とほぼ同形状で、これよりもやや大きく切り欠かれた切欠１２が設けられている。そこでこの切欠１２を上記閉鎖弁取付板１に重ねるようにして、側板１１を底フレームに取り付ける。すると上記切欠１２が弁取付部８よりもやや大きく成されていることから、閉鎖弁取付板１の外周部外側面が上記切欠１２の周辺部内側面と重なり、上記切欠１２から上記弁取付部８が側方に露出するようになる。
【００１７】
上記空気調和機の室外機では、閉鎖弁取付板１と底板２とを単一の部材で一体に形成している。従って、従来のスポット溶接のような連結工程は不要となり、室外機の組立工数を削減してコストダウンを図ることができる。また弁取付部８の両側方に上下方向に延びるリブ３、４を設けているから、閉鎖弁取付板１の板厚を底板２の板厚よりも特に大きくしなくとも、閉鎖弁取付板１の強度を十分なものとして、閉鎖弁を確実に支持することができる。しかもこのリブ３、４を断面半円形状としているので、閉鎖弁取付板１に加えられる上下方向の曲がりに対して十分な強度を発揮することができる。さらに上記では、閉鎖弁を水平方向に並べて取り付けるようにしている。そのため閉鎖弁取付板１の下部基端を支点として、閉鎖弁の操作により垂直平面内で閉鎖弁取付板１に加えられるモーメントは、閉鎖弁を上下方向に並べて取り付ける従来よりも小さくなる。また閉鎖弁取付板１を上下方向よりも横方向に長くしていることによっても、上記モーメントに対する強度が確保されることになる。従って、閉鎖弁の支持はより確実なものとなる。
【００１８】
また閉鎖弁は、冷媒配管の太さに対応してガス閉鎖弁の方が液閉鎖弁よりもいくぶん大型である。そこで上記リブ３、４は、ガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブ３を液閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブ４よりも太くしている。従って大型のガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側の閉鎖弁取付板１の強度がより強化されることになる。また上記閉鎖弁取付板１の外周部は、側板１１に設けた切欠１２の周辺部によって外側から支持される。従って外方への引張力が閉鎖弁取付板１に加えられても、側板１１によって閉鎖弁取付板１の変形を防止することができる。しかも閉鎖弁取付板１には切欠部１３を設けて、取り付けられた液閉鎖弁のごく近傍を側板１１によって支持するようになっている。従って閉鎖弁取付板１の変形はより確実に防止される。さらに弁取付部８を閉鎖弁取付板１の板面から突出形成しているから、これによっても閉鎖弁取付板１の強度が高くなり、閉鎖弁をさらに確実に支持することができる。
【００１９】
以上にこの発明の具体的な実施の形態について説明したが、この発明は上記形態に限定されるものではなく、この発明の範囲内で種々変更して実施することができる。例えば図示した閉鎖弁取付板１やリブ３、４の形状は一例であって、閉鎖弁が確実に支持できる範囲内で種々に変更することができる。また上記では閉鎖弁取付板１を底板２の側辺に設けたが、底板２の背面側や前面側等に設けるような変更も可能である。なお、「水平方向に並べて」とは、取り付けられた閉鎖弁が、互いに水平方向に重なり合う部分を有するように位置されていることをいう。
【００２０】
【発明の効果】
上記請求項１の空気調和機の室外機では、底板と閉鎖弁取付板とを単一の部材で一体物として形成することにより、両部材の連結工程を省略することができる。従って工数の削減によって室外機のコストダウンを図ることが可能となる。また、リブを設けることによって、閉鎖弁取付板の強度を閉鎖弁を支持するのに十分なものとすることができる。従って閉鎖弁取付板が底板と同じ板厚であっても、閉鎖弁を確実に支持することが可能となる。さらに、取り付けられた閉鎖弁によって生じ閉鎖弁取付板に加えられるモーメントを小さくすることができる。従って閉鎖弁取付板が底板と同じ板厚であっても、閉鎖弁を確実に支持することが可能となる。しかも、リブは、ガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブを液閉鎖弁を取り付ける側のリブよりも太くしているので、大型のガス閉鎖弁を取り付ける側の閉鎖弁取付板の強度がより強化されることになる。
【００２１】
また請求項２の空気調和機の室外機では、閉鎖弁取付板の外周部は、側板に設けた切欠の周辺部によって外側から支持されるので、外方への引張力が閉鎖弁取付板に加えられても、側板によって閉鎖弁取付板の変形を防止することができる。
【００２２】
さらに請求項３の空気調和機の室外機では、取り付けられた液閉鎖弁の近傍を側板によって支持するようになっているので、閉鎖弁取付板の変形はより確実に防止される。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In a separation type air conditioner, a refrigerant pipe including a gas pipe and a liquid pipe is connected between an outdoor unit and an indoor unit. A refrigerant is circulated between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit via the refrigerant pipe, and cool or hot heat is conveyed to perform air conditioning in the room. However, when installing or maintaining the air conditioner, the refrigerant pipe may not be connected between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit.In such a case, it is necessary to prevent the refrigerant from leaking from the outdoor unit. There is. Therefore, a gas shut-off valve and a liquid shut-off valve that can be opened and closed from the outside are provided on the gas pipe and the liquid pipe on the outlet side of the outdoor unit, respectively, so that leakage of the refrigerant from the outdoor unit can be controlled. Along with this, the outdoor unit is provided with a closing valve mounting plate for mounting the gas closing valve and the liquid closing valve to be exposed to the outside.
[0003]
FIG. 4 is a side view showing a bottom frame provided in the outdoor unit of the conventional air conditioner. The bottom frame includes a bottom plate 42 that forms the bottom side of the main body casing, and a closing valve mounting plate 41 that stands upright on a side of the bottom plate 42. The closing valve mounting plate 41 has a mounting hole 45 for mounting a liquid closing valve and a mounting hole 46 for mounting a gas closing valve, which are vertically arranged to be long in the up-down direction and short in the lateral direction. A screw hole 50 for fixing a closing valve is provided on the side of the mounting holes 45 and 46. The closing valve mounting plate 41 is spot-welded to the upright edge 43 formed on the side of the bottom plate 42 at welding locations 47 and 48, and is attached to the bottom plate 42 at a welding location (not shown) on the bottom surface. It is spot-welded and attached to the bottom plate 42.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the outdoor unit described above, the bottom plate 42 and the closing valve mounting plate 41 are formed by separate members. The two members 41, 42 are connected by spot welding to form a bottom frame. Therefore, there is an advantage that the closing valve mounting plate 41 and the bottom plate 42 can be formed by members having different plate thicknesses and materials. However, on the other hand, there is a problem in that man-hours such as spot welding are required, which contributes to an increase in cost.
[0005]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor unit of an air conditioner capable of reducing the number of assembly steps of a bottom frame and reducing costs. It is in.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Therefore, in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the first aspect, the bottom plate 2 forming the bottom side surface of the main body casing and the closing valve mounting plate 1 erected on the side of the bottom plate 2 are integrated by a single member. The closing valve mounting plate 1 is provided with ribs 3 and 4 extending vertically, and the closing valve mounting plate 1 is configured to mount a gas shutoff valve and a liquid shutoff valve side by side in a horizontal direction. Further, the ribs 3 and 4 are characterized in that the cross-sectional shape of the rib 3 on the side where the gas shut-off valve is mounted is larger than the cross-sectional shape of the rib 4 on the side where the liquid shut-off valve is mounted .
[0007]
In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the first aspect, since the bottom plate 1 and the closing valve mounting plate 2 are formed as a single member as a single member, the step of connecting both members 1 and 2 can be omitted. It becomes possible. Also, the ribs 3, 4 allow the strength of the closure valve mounting plate 1 to be sufficient to support the closure valve. Furthermore, since the gas shut-off valve and the liquid shut-off valve are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the moment generated by the operation of the shut-off valve and applied to the shut-off valve mounting plate 1 is smaller than when the shut-off valve is mounted side by side in the vertical direction. Can also be reduced. In addition, since the ribs 3 and 4 on the side where the gas shutoff valve is mounted are thicker than the ribs 4 on the side where the liquid shutoff valve is mounted, the closing valve mounting plate 1 on the side where the large gas shutoff valve is mounted. Will be further strengthened.
[0008]
The outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to claim 2 is characterized in that an outer peripheral portion of the closing valve mounting plate 1 is supported from the outside by a peripheral portion of a notch 12 provided in the side plate 11 .
[0009]
In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the second aspect, the outer peripheral portion of the closing valve mounting plate 1 is supported from the outside by the peripheral portion of the notch 12 provided in the side plate 11, so that the tensile force to the outside is closed. Even when added to the valve mounting plate 1, the side plate 11 can prevent the deformation of the closing valve mounting plate 1.
[0010]
Further, in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the third aspect , the cutoff valve mounting plate 1 is provided with a cutout portion 13 in which an upper corner portion is cut obliquely, and the vicinity of the mounted shutoff valve is supported by the side plate 11. It is characterized in that it is in.
[0011]
In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the third aspect, since the vicinity of the attached liquid shut-off valve is supported by the side plate 11, the deformation of the shut-off valve mounting plate 1 is more reliably prevented.
[0012]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, specific embodiments of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0013]
FIG. 2 is a side view of a bottom frame constituting a main body casing of the outdoor unit. In this bottom frame, a bottom plate 2 constituting the bottom surface side of the main body casing and a closing valve mounting plate 1 erected on a short side of the bottom plate 2 are integrally formed by a single member. Has been established. That is, the upright edge 7 formed on the peripheral edge of the bottom plate 2 is extended upward as it is at the center of the short side of the bottom plate 2 to form the closing valve mounting plate 1.
[0014]
FIG. 1A is a front view of the closing valve mounting plate 1, and FIG. 1B is a sectional view taken along the line AA. As shown in these figures, the closing valve mounting plate 1 is short in the vertical direction and long in the horizontal direction. A valve mounting portion 8 is provided at the center of the valve mounting portion 8 so as to protrude outward from the outdoor unit. With this projection, the connecting portion 9 that connects the valve mounting portion 8 and the closing valve mounting plate 1 obliquely to the plate surface of the closing valve mounting plate 1 surrounds the periphery of the valve mounting portion 8. Is formed.
[0015]
The valve mounting portion 8 is provided with a first mounting hole 5 for mounting a gas shut-off valve and a second mounting hole 6 for mounting a liquid shut-off valve, which are provided side by side in a horizontal direction. Further, screw holes 10 for fixing a closing valve are provided on both oblique sides of the mounting holes 5 and 6, respectively. On both sides of the valve mounting portion 8, ribs 3 and 4 extending vertically from the lower end of the upright edge portion 7 to the upper portion of the closing valve mounting plate 1 are provided. The ribs 3 and 4 have a substantially semicircular cross section so as to be depressed toward the inside of the outdoor unit, and the first rib 3 provided on the first mounting hole 5 side is provided on the second mounting hole 6 side. It is formed thicker than the second rib 4 provided. In addition, the closing valve mounting plate 1 is provided with a cutout portion 13 which cuts off an upper corner portion of the second mounting hole 6 side diagonally. Along the notch 13, the connecting portion 9 is also formed with an inclined portion 14 which extends obliquely.
[0016]
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the assembly of the bottom frame constituted by the above-described closing valve mounting plate 1 and bottom plate 2 and the side plate 11 attached to the bottom frame. The side plate 11 is attached so as to cover a compressor and the like installed in the outdoor unit from the side and the back side, and constitutes a main body casing. A cutout 12 which is substantially the same shape as the outer shape of the valve mounting portion 8 and is slightly larger than the cutout 12 is provided in a lower portion of the side surface of the side plate 11. Then, the side plate 11 is attached to the bottom frame such that the notch 12 overlaps the closing valve attachment plate 1. Then, since the notch 12 is slightly larger than the valve mounting portion 8, the outer peripheral surface of the closing valve mounting plate 1 overlaps with the inner peripheral surface of the notch 12, and the valve mounting portion 8 extends from the notch 12. Is exposed to the side.
[0017]
In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the closing valve mounting plate 1 and the bottom plate 2 are integrally formed by a single member. Therefore, the connecting step such as the conventional spot welding is not required, and the number of assembling steps of the outdoor unit can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Further, since the ribs 3 and 4 extending in the vertical direction are provided on both sides of the valve mounting portion 8, even if the thickness of the closing valve mounting plate 1 is not particularly larger than the thickness of the bottom plate 2, the closing valve mounting plate 1 is not required. And the closing valve can be reliably supported. In addition, since the ribs 3 and 4 have a semicircular cross section, sufficient strength can be exerted against bending in the vertical direction applied to the closing valve mounting plate 1. Further, in the above description, the closing valves are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction. Therefore, with the lower base end of the closing valve mounting plate 1 as a fulcrum, the moment applied to the closing valve mounting plate 1 in a vertical plane by operating the closing valve is smaller than in the related art in which the closing valves are vertically arranged. Further, the strength against the above moment is also ensured by making the closing valve mounting plate 1 longer in the horizontal direction than in the vertical direction. Therefore, the support of the closing valve is more reliable.
[0018]
Also, the shutoff valve is somewhat larger in the gas shutoff valve than in the liquid shutoff valve, corresponding to the thickness of the refrigerant pipe. Therefore, the ribs 3 and 4 are made thicker on the side where the gas shutoff valve is mounted than on the side where the liquid shutoff valve is mounted. Therefore, the strength of the closing valve mounting plate 1 on which the large gas closing valve is mounted is further enhanced. The outer peripheral portion of the closing valve mounting plate 1 is supported from the outside by a peripheral portion of a notch 12 provided in the side plate 11. Therefore, even if an outward pulling force is applied to the closing valve mounting plate 1, the side plate 11 can prevent the closing valve mounting plate 1 from being deformed. In addition, a notch 13 is provided in the closing valve mounting plate 1 so that the side plate 11 supports the very close vicinity of the mounted liquid closing valve. Therefore, the deformation of the closing valve mounting plate 1 is more reliably prevented. Further, since the valve mounting portion 8 is formed so as to protrude from the plate surface of the closing valve mounting plate 1, the strength of the closing valve mounting plate 1 is also increased, so that the closing valve can be more reliably supported.
[0019]
Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and can be implemented with various modifications within the scope of the present invention. For example, the shapes of the illustrated closing valve mounting plate 1 and the ribs 3 and 4 are merely examples, and can be variously changed within a range where the closing valve can be reliably supported. Further, in the above description, the closing valve mounting plate 1 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 2, but may be changed to be provided on the back side, the front side, or the like of the bottom plate 2. Note that "arranged in the horizontal direction" means that the attached shut-off valves are positioned so as to have portions overlapping each other in the horizontal direction.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the first aspect, since the bottom plate and the closing valve mounting plate are formed as a single member as a single body, the connecting step of both members can be omitted. Therefore, the cost of the outdoor unit can be reduced by reducing the number of steps. Also, by providing the rib, the strength of the closing valve mounting plate can be made sufficient to support the closing valve. Therefore, even if the closing valve mounting plate has the same thickness as the bottom plate, it is possible to reliably support the closing valve. In addition, the moment exerted by the mounted closing valve on the closing valve mounting plate can be reduced. Therefore, even if the closing valve mounting plate has the same thickness as the bottom plate, it is possible to reliably support the closing valve. Moreover, since the ribs on the side where the gas shut-off valve is mounted are thicker than the ribs on the side where the liquid shut-off valve is mounted, the strength of the shut-off valve mounting plate on the side where the large gas shut-off valve is mounted is further enhanced. Will be.
[0021]
Further, in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to claim 2, the outer peripheral portion of the closing valve mounting plate is supported from the outside by the peripheral portion of the notch provided in the side plate, so that the outward pulling force is applied to the closing valve mounting plate. Even if added, the side plate can prevent the deformation of the closing valve mounting plate.
[0022]
Further, in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the third aspect, since the vicinity of the attached liquid shutoff valve is supported by the side plate, deformation of the shutoff valve attachment plate is more reliably prevented.
