Thus, it is provided so as not to contact the heat sink 52.

  The flameproof member 6 is a member made of sheet metal that covers the heat sink 52 in the blower chamber SP2 and protects the heat sink 52 from a flame at the time of a fire. The flameproof member 6 is a bent plate-like member and covers the lower side and both sides of the heat sink 52. More specifically, the flameproof member 6 covers the boundary between the heat sink 52 and the flameproof plate 54 and the heat sink 52 from below, and partitions the heat sink 52 from the propeller fan 41. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the flameproof member 6 includes a first side surface portion 61, a second side surface portion 62, a first lower surface portion 63, and a second lower surface portion 64. 4A is a top view of the flameproof member 6, FIG. 4B is a front view of the flameproof member 6, and FIG. 4C is a left side view of the flameproof member 6. .

  The first side surface portion 61 is arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction and extends vertically downward from the lower surface of the electrical component unit casing 53. The second side surface portion 62 extends vertically downward from the lower surface of the electrical component unit casing 53, and the space between the first side surface portion 61 (hereinafter referred to as “air passage Pa”) extends in the front-rear direction. It is inclined with respect to.

<Features>
(1)
In the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, since the flameproof member 6 covers the heat sink 52 in the blower chamber SP2, the heat sink 52 can be protected from external flames. For this reason, the flameproofness of the electrical component unit 5 can be improved. In particular, since the flameproof member 6 also covers the boundary between the heat sink 52 and the flameproof plate 54, the flame enters the gap between the heatsink 52 and the flameproof plate 54 and damages the resin electrical unit casing 53. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the flameproofing property of the electrical component unit 5 is improved by the flameproof member 6, it is less necessary to excessively improve the flameproofing property in the blower chamber SP2. For this reason, the propeller fan 41 arrange | positioned in air blower chamber SP2 can be formed with a comparatively cheap material, and manufacturing cost can be reduced.

  Further, since the flameproof member 6 covers the lower portion of the heat sink 52, even if the electrical component unit casing 53 is melted by heat, it is possible to prevent the heat sink 52 from dropping downward. .

(2)
In the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, the flameproof member 6 forms an air passage Pa, and the heat sink 52 is disposed in the air passage Pa. For this reason, while protecting the heat sink 52 with the flameproof member 6, the flameproof member 6 does not inhibit the air passing through the heatsink 52, but rather improves the ventilation. Thereby, the heat dissipation effect in the heat sink 52 can be improved.

  Moreover, since the flameproof member 6 has a shape in which the inlet Pin of the air passage Pa is large and the outlet Pout is small, it is easy to take in air and increase the flow velocity of the air. Thereby, the heat dissipation effect in the heat sink 52 can be improved.

  Further, the inlet Pin of the air passage Pa is provided in the vicinity of the inlet / outlet 21 serving as the outlet of the refrigerant during the cooling operation in the heat exchanger 2. For this reason, air having a relatively low temperature is easily taken into the air passage Pa, and the heat dissipation effect in the heat sink 52 can be further improved.

<Other embodiments>
(A)
In said embodiment, the 1st side part 61, the 2nd side part 62, the 1st lower surface part 63, and the 2nd lower surface part 64 which comprise the flame-proof member 6 become plate shape without a hole or a slit. However, as shown in FIG. 5, an opening 68 may be provided in a part of the flameproof member 6. However, when the opening 68 is relatively large, it is desirable that the opening 68 is provided on the first side face 61 that is less affected by the flame. Thereby, air becomes easier to pass through the air passage Pa, and the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 52 can be further improved.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a plurality of slits 69 and holes may be provided in a part or the whole of the flameproof member 6. In FIG. 6, only one of the slits 69 is given a reference numeral and the other is omitted. In this case, as long as the slit 69 or the hole is small, not only the first side surface portion 61 and the second side surface portion 62 but also the first lower surface portion 63 and the second lower surface portion 64 are sufficiently penetrated by the flame. Can be prevented. For the same reason, the flameproof member 6 may be formed of a wire mesh.

(B)
In the above embodiment, the flameproof member 6 has a linearly bent shape, but may have a curved shape.

(C)
In the above embodiment, the propeller fan 41 is formed from a resin material. However, the front portion of the outdoor unit casing 7 facing the blower chamber SP2 and other members may be formed from a resin material. Also in this case, the manufacturing cost can be reduced while ensuring the flameproofness of the electrical component unit 5.

(D)
In the above embodiment, the heat sink 52 protrudes downward from the lower surface of the electrical component unit casing 53, but may protrude from the side surface of the electrical component unit casing 53 or the partition plate 76 toward the side. The flameproof property of the electrical component unit can also be improved by providing the flameproof member that covers the protruding heat sink in the blower chamber SP2.

(E)
In the above-described embodiment, the flameproof member 6 covers both sides and the lower side of the heat sink 52, but depending on the positional relationship with the member (for example, the propeller fan 41) that may burn, one of these may be used. It may cover only the direction of the part. For example, a flameproof member that covers only one side and the lower side of the heat sink 52 may be provided.

(F)
In the above embodiment, both the upper end of the first side surface portion 61 and the upper end of the second side surface portion 62 are fixed to the flameproof plate 54, and the flameproof member 6 is fixed only to the flameproof plate 54. However, the fixing position of the flameproof member is not limited to this. For example, one end of the flameproof member may be fixed to the flameproof plate 54 and the other end may be fixed to the partition plate 76. Further, the flameproof member may be fixed only to the partition plate 76 depending on the arrangement of the heat sink as in the case where a heat sink protruding from the partition plate 76 to the blower chamber SP2 is provided.

(G)
In said embodiment, although the flame-proof member 6 is comprised with the metal material, it is not restricted to a metal material, What is necessary is just to comprise from a flame-retardant material.
