Description

本発明は、空気調和機の室外機に係り、特に省エネ化、コンパクト化、低騒音化、低コスト化、省工事化などが図れる空気調和機の室外機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and more particularly to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can achieve energy saving, downsizing, noise reduction, cost reduction, and labor saving.

オフィスや工場などを冷暖する空気調和機は、室内に配設される室内機と、屋外に配設される室外機を備えている。室外機は、筐体の外縁に沿って設けられた熱交換器により冷媒配管を通過する冷媒と外気とを熱交換させ、冷媒を蒸発或いは凝縮させた後に室内機に供給する。室内機は、室外機から供給された冷媒の潜熱を利用して室内空気を冷暖する。   An air conditioner that cools and warms an office, a factory, and the like includes an indoor unit disposed indoors and an outdoor unit disposed outdoors. The outdoor unit exchanges heat between the refrigerant passing through the refrigerant pipe and the outside air by a heat exchanger provided along the outer edge of the housing, and supplies the refrigerant to the indoor unit after evaporating or condensing the refrigerant. The indoor unit cools and warms the indoor air using the latent heat of the refrigerant supplied from the outdoor unit.

このような空気調和機においては、比較的大きな空調能力が求められる場合、複数の室外機を接続して構成されることがある。室外機を複数設置する形態としては、複数の室外機の配管を据付現場で連接させるいわゆる外付けモジュール式と、予め複数の室外機を互いに連結させた一体型室外機がある。前者の外付けモジュール式では、現地での据付作業等が煩雑になるが、後者の一体型室外機は据付現場に搬入する前に一体型のマルチパッケージエアコン用室外機として製作しているので、据付作業等が簡単になる。   In such an air conditioner, when a relatively large air conditioning capability is required, a plurality of outdoor units may be connected. As a form of installing a plurality of outdoor units, there are a so-called external module type in which pipes of a plurality of outdoor units are connected at an installation site, and an integrated outdoor unit in which a plurality of outdoor units are connected in advance. With the former external module type, installation work on the site is complicated, but the latter integrated outdoor unit is manufactured as an integrated multi-package air conditioner outdoor unit before carrying it to the installation site. Installation work is simplified.

このように複数の室外機を一体型に構成する場合、隣接する各室外機間の内部で配管を互いに接続しておく必要がある。この接続配管を隣接する室外機の隣接部で行おうとすると、接続配管が熱交換器に遮られることがある。一方、製品の組立性やメンテナンス等を考慮し、室外機に搭載される圧縮機や電気品を収納する電気品箱は、筐体正面側に集約させる形態とするのが望ましく、この場合熱交換器は筐体正面を除く、筐体側面及び背面の外縁のみに配置することが多い。例えば、図3に示すように、熱交換器を筐体背面に偏って配置させ、筐体正面側には配管接続用のスペースを集約させている。このため、熱交換器の周方向の長さが制限されて短くなるため、一体型の室外機においては熱交換器の高さ方向を拡大して必要な伝熱面積を確保していた。
なお、この種従来技術としては特許文献1に記載されたものなどがある。
When a plurality of outdoor units are configured as a single unit in this way, it is necessary to connect the pipes to each other inside the adjacent outdoor units. If this connection pipe is to be performed in an adjacent portion of an adjacent outdoor unit, the connection pipe may be blocked by the heat exchanger. On the other hand, in consideration of product assemblability and maintenance, it is desirable that the compressor mounted on the outdoor unit and the electrical component box for storing electrical components should be concentrated on the front side of the housing. In many cases, the container is disposed only on the outer edges of the side surface and the back surface of the housing except the front surface of the housing. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the heat exchanger is arranged to be biased toward the rear surface of the housing, and piping connection spaces are gathered on the front surface side of the housing. For this reason, since the length in the circumferential direction of the heat exchanger is limited and shortened, in the integrated outdoor unit, the height direction of the heat exchanger is expanded to secure a necessary heat transfer area.
In addition, as this kind of prior art, there is one described in Patent Document 1.

特開2003−254565号公報JP 2003-254565 A

特許文献1などに記載された従来技術のものでは、熱交換器の周方向長さを制限しているので、室外機の据付け面積を増大させずに所定の伝熱面積を確保するには、室外機の高さ寸法を増大させる必要があり、室外機が大型化する。また、熱交換器の周方向長さが制限された分、それを補填するため、補助熱交換器を別部品として設けることもあるが、その場合には部品点数の増大や配管系統の煩雑化を招く欠点がある。   In the prior art described in Patent Document 1 or the like, since the circumferential length of the heat exchanger is limited, in order to ensure a predetermined heat transfer area without increasing the installation area of the outdoor unit, It is necessary to increase the height of the outdoor unit, which increases the size of the outdoor unit. Also, in order to compensate for the limited length of the heat exchanger in the circumferential direction, an auxiliary heat exchanger may be provided as a separate part. In that case, however, the number of parts increases and the piping system becomes complicated. There is a drawback that leads to.

本発明の目的は、室外機の大型化を抑制しつつ熱交換性能を向上できる空気調和機の室外機を得ることにある。   The objective of this invention is obtaining the outdoor unit of the air conditioner which can improve heat exchange performance, suppressing the enlargement of an outdoor unit.

本発明の他の目的は、隣接した各室外機間の配管接続用のスペースを確保しつつ熱交換器の伝熱面積と送風性能の向上を図ることができる空気調和機の室外機を得ることにある。   Another object of the present invention is to obtain an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can improve the heat transfer area and the air blowing performance of a heat exchanger while securing a space for pipe connection between adjacent outdoor units. It is in.

Each of the outdoor units sucks outside air from a suction surface provided from the side surface of the housing to the back surface, and a heat exchanger is arranged from the side surface of the housing to the back surface, and draws air sucked from the suction surface. , heat exchange by the heat exchanger, a propeller fan for blowing toward the housing top is configured so that disposed in the housing top.
Then, further, each of the outdoor unit, the housing front along both sides and the rear except for the heat exchanger is arranged to have a horizontal cross-section of approximately U-shaped so as to surround the propeller fan, The heat exchanger of one of the two outdoor units is configured such that the side surface of the case where the two outdoor units are adjacent to each other is shorter than the side surface of the case opposite to the case side. And the heat exchanger of the other outdoor unit of the two outdoor units is configured such that the side surface of the housing adjacent to the two outdoor units is shorter than the side surface of the opposite housing. In a space formed by shortening each heat exchanger on the side surface of the casing where the two outdoor units are adjacent to each other, refrigerant pipes respectively provided in the two outdoor units are connected.

ここで、一方の室外機の熱交換器は、略コの字形の曲げ角度が鈍角に形成されると共に筐体正面に向かって略台形となる水平断面に構成されると良い。また2つの室外機のそれぞれの吸込面を、該2つの室外機同士が隣接する筐体側面側よりも該筐体側面側と反対側が前記筐体正面側に長く構成すると良い。 Here, the heat exchanger of one outdoor unit is preferably configured to have a horizontal section in which a substantially U-shaped bending angle is formed as an obtuse angle and is substantially trapezoidal toward the front of the housing . Further, it is preferable that the suction surfaces of the two outdoor units are configured such that the side opposite to the side of the casing is longer on the front side of the casing than the side of the casing where the two outdoor units are adjacent to each other.

また、他方の室外機の熱交換器を、前記2つの室外機同士が隣接する筐体側面側が該筐体側面側の反対側の筐体側面側よりも短くなるように構成すると良い。また他方の室外機の熱交換器を、2つの室外機同士が隣接する筐体側面側と該筐体側面側の反対側の筐体側面側とが略同一の長さとなるように構成すると良い。 In addition, the heat exchanger of the other outdoor unit may be configured such that the side surface of the case where the two outdoor units are adjacent to each other is shorter than the side surface of the case opposite to the side of the case . In addition, the heat exchanger of the other outdoor unit may be configured such that the side surface of the casing adjacent to the two outdoor units and the side of the casing opposite to the side of the casing have substantially the same length. .

以下、本発明の具体的実施例を、図面を用いて説明する。   Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1〜図6により本発明の空気調和機の室外機に係る第1実施例を説明する。各図において同一符号を付した部分は同一部分を示す。図1及び図2は本実施例の構造を示すもので、図1は平面図、図2は縦断面図である。   1st Example which concerns on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of this invention with reference to FIGS. 1-6 is described. In each figure, the part which attached | subjected the same code | symbol shows the same part. 1 and 2 show the structure of this embodiment. FIG. 1 is a plan view and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view.

筐体上方に配置されたプロペラファン100とこれを駆動するファンモータ101によって、筐体側面301から背面304にかけて配設された熱交換器200から外気を吸込み、熱交換された後、筐体上方へ向かって吹出される。筐体底面の底板303には圧縮機103等の冷凍サイクル部品が搭載されている。筐体正面302側には電気品を収納する電気品箱105を備えている。   The propeller fan 100 disposed above the housing and the fan motor 101 that drives the propeller fan 100 sucks outside air from the heat exchanger 200 disposed from the housing side surface 301 to the back surface 304, and after heat exchange, It is blown out toward. A refrigeration cycle component such as the compressor 103 is mounted on the bottom plate 303 on the bottom surface of the housing. An electrical component box 105 for storing electrical components is provided on the housing front 302 side.

上記熱交換器200について説明する。比較的大きな空調能力が求められる場合、複数の室外機を用いたマルチ型の空気調和機用室外機として構成されることが多い。この場合、省工事性に優れた一体型室外機を構成しようとした場合、複数のプロペラファン100や熱交換器200等を製品幅方向に並べることで複数の室外機を一体化したような形態をとる。図1、2のものは2台の室外機を隣接させた例である。このとき、サービス性やメンテナンス性の観点から、電気品箱105や圧縮機103は筐体正面302の周囲に配置されるのが望ましく、熱交換器200は筐体正面302を除いた、側面301及び背面304の外縁に沿って、プロペラファン100を囲むように略コの字形の水平断面形状に構成されるのが一般的である(図3参照)。しかし、隣接された室外機間を接続する配管の引き回しを行う配管接続スペース104を確保する為には、図3に示すように、熱交換器200の側面吸込面201及び202の周長が制限される問題がある。そこで、本実施例の室外機では、図4に示すように、一体に組み合わされる他の室外機が隣接しない筐体側の吸込面201では周長を拡大させ、隣接する側の吸込面202では周長を縮減させた非対称形状の熱交換器200とし、配管接続スペース104を確保し且つ熱交換器200の伝熱面積も十分に確保できるようにしている。また、熱交換器200と側面カバー301を上下方向にも対称に製作しておけば、図1の左側の室外機と同じものを上下逆さまにすることで図1の右側の室外機と同じ熱交換器200と側面カバー301の配置構造にできるから、左右の室外機を共用化することも可能になり、低コスト化できる。言うまでもないが、プロペラファン100は常に上部に設置され、底板303は常に下部に配置されるようにする。   The heat exchanger 200 will be described. When a relatively large air conditioning capacity is required, it is often configured as a multi-type outdoor unit for an air conditioner using a plurality of outdoor units. In this case, when trying to configure an integrated outdoor unit with excellent work efficiency, a configuration in which multiple outdoor units are integrated by arranging multiple propeller fans 100, heat exchangers 200, etc. in the product width direction. Take. 1 and 2 are examples in which two outdoor units are adjacent to each other. At this time, from the viewpoint of serviceability and maintainability, it is desirable that the electrical component box 105 and the compressor 103 are disposed around the front surface 302 of the casing, and the heat exchanger 200 includes the side surface 301 excluding the front surface 302 of the casing. In general, it is configured to have a substantially U-shaped horizontal cross section so as to surround the propeller fan 100 along the outer edge of the back surface 304 (see FIG. 3). However, in order to secure the piping connection space 104 for routing the piping connecting the adjacent outdoor units, the peripheral lengths of the side suction surfaces 201 and 202 of the heat exchanger 200 are limited as shown in FIG. There is a problem. Therefore, in the outdoor unit of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral length is enlarged on the suction surface 201 on the housing side where the other outdoor units combined together are not adjacent, and the peripheral surface is set on the suction surface 202 on the adjacent side. The heat exchanger 200 has an asymmetric shape with a reduced length so that the pipe connection space 104 can be secured and the heat transfer area of the heat exchanger 200 can be sufficiently secured. If the heat exchanger 200 and the side cover 301 are also made symmetrical in the vertical direction, the same heat as the outdoor unit on the right side in FIG. Since the arrangement structure of the exchanger 200 and the side cover 301 can be realized, the left and right outdoor units can be shared, and the cost can be reduced. Needless to say, the propeller fan 100 is always installed at the upper part, and the bottom plate 303 is always arranged at the lower part.

次に、本実施例による効果を図5及び図6を用いて説明する。熱交換器200は上下方向に長いアルミ製の放熱フィン板(図示せず)を周長方向に重ね合わせた構成となっており、空気は各々のアルミフィン間を通過するため、外気は熱交換器200の板厚方向204に沿って流れやすいという性質がある。一方、プロペラファン100の周囲ではファンの回転によって旋回流れ901が生じているため、筐体正面302から見て、プロペラファン100の回転方向の上流側では熱交換器200からの吸込み流れ900とプロペラファン100による旋回流れ901とが概ね沿って流れるのに対し、下流側では吸込み流れ900と旋回流れ901とが衝突する向きに流れるため、ロスが大きくなる。   Next, the effect of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The heat exchanger 200 has a structure in which aluminum radiating fin plates (not shown) that are long in the vertical direction are overlapped in the circumferential direction, and air passes between each aluminum fin, so the outside air exchanges heat. It has the property of being easy to flow along the plate thickness direction 204 of the vessel 200. On the other hand, since the swirl flow 901 is generated by the rotation of the fan around the propeller fan 100, the suction flow 900 from the heat exchanger 200 and the propeller are seen upstream from the front surface 302 of the casing in the rotation direction of the propeller fan 100. While the swirl flow 901 by the fan 100 flows substantially along, the suction flow 900 and the swirl flow 901 flow in the colliding direction on the downstream side, so that the loss increases.

図6に一体化する前の1台の室外機を、同一回転数、同一吸込み面積で運転した場合の風量と軸動力について、従来の左右対称の熱交換器210とした場合(a)、下流側の周長を拡大させた熱交換器212とした場合(b)、及び上流側の周長を拡大させた熱交換器211とした場合(c)について、特性を比較したデータである。従来の左右対称210の熱交換機を使用した(a)の場合と比較して、下流側周長を拡大させた熱交換器212を使用した場合には軸動力も風量も殆ど変化しないのに対し、上流側を拡大した熱交換器211を使用した(c)の場合は、風量を約7%向上でき、軸動力では約17%低減と予想を超える効果を達成できた。更に、送風騒音はファン回転数の6乗に比例することから、約1.7dBの騒音低減効果もある。また、複数の室外機を隣接させて一体化させた構成では、各熱交換器間の隙間が狭くなるため、この部位では更に空気が流れにくくなり、熱交換器200の周長を拡大した割には有効利用されないので、上流側を延長した熱交換器211とした場合(c)の効果は更に大きくなり、配管接続スペースも大きくとれるメリットもあり、その優位性は極めて大きなものとなる。逆に、所定の熱交換性能を確保する場合、上流側延長211の場合(c)が最も伝熱面積を小さくできるため、近年のアルミや銅の材料原価高騰の点からも大きなコスト低減効果が得られる。また、熱交換器200が小形化されることにより、これを囲う筐体カバーの面積も低減できるから、材料費低減と製品の小形化も実現できる。   When one outdoor unit before being integrated in FIG. 6 is operated with the same rotational speed and the same suction area, the air volume and the shaft power are the conventional symmetrical heat exchanger 210 (a), downstream It is the data which compared the characteristic about the case where it is set as the heat exchanger 212 which enlarged the circumference of the side (b), and the case of the heat exchanger 211 which enlarged the circumference of the upstream (c). Compared with the case (a) in which a conventional heat exchanger with symmetrical 210 is used, the axial power and the air volume hardly change when using the heat exchanger 212 having an enlarged downstream peripheral length. In the case of (c) using the heat exchanger 211 with the upstream side expanded, the air volume was improved by about 7%, and the shaft power was reduced by about 17%, achieving an effect that exceeded expectations. Furthermore, since the blowing noise is proportional to the sixth power of the fan rotation speed, there is also a noise reduction effect of about 1.7 dB. In addition, in a configuration in which a plurality of outdoor units are integrated adjacent to each other, the gap between the heat exchangers becomes narrow, so that air does not flow easily in this part, and the peripheral length of the heat exchanger 200 is increased. Therefore, when the heat exchanger 211 having an extended upstream side is used, the effect of (c) is further increased, and there is a merit that a large pipe connection space can be obtained, and the advantage is extremely large. On the contrary, in the case of securing the predetermined heat exchange performance, in the case of the upstream extension 211 (c), the heat transfer area can be made the smallest, so there is a significant cost reduction effect from the recent rise in the material cost of aluminum and copper. can get. In addition, since the heat exchanger 200 can be downsized, the area of the housing cover surrounding the heat exchanger 200 can be reduced, so that material costs can be reduced and the product can be downsized.

以上述べたように、本実施例によれば、省エネ化、低騒音化、低コスト化、小形化などを実現できる空気調和機の室外機が得られる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can realize energy saving, noise reduction, cost reduction, size reduction, and the like can be obtained.

図7は本発明の第2実施例を示すもので、図において、図1〜図6と同一符号を付した部分は同一又は相当する部分を示す。
近年、室外機を複数台接続したビル用マルチパッケージエアコンにおいても大容量化が進んでおり、3台以上の室外機を隣接させた一体型室外機としたい場合がある。このような場合、中央側に位置する熱交換器200については、その両側部の長さを、筐体側面側に位置する熱交換器の長さより短く構成する。また、この中央側に配置された熱交換器の背面部の幅は、筐体両側面側に配置された熱交換器の背面部長さと同じにしても良いが、このようにすると中央側に配置された熱交換器の全周長が筐体両側面側に配置された熱交換器の全周長より短くなってしまうので、図7の例に示すように、中央側に配置された熱交換器の背面部の幅を、筐体両側面側に配置された熱交換器の背面部長さより大きくなるように構成すると良い。
FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 6 denote the same or corresponding parts.
In recent years, the capacity of building multi-package air conditioners in which a plurality of outdoor units are connected is also increasing, and there is a case where it is desired to make an integrated outdoor unit in which three or more outdoor units are adjacent to each other. In such a case, the heat exchanger 200 located on the center side is configured such that the length of both side portions thereof is shorter than the length of the heat exchanger located on the side surface of the housing. In addition, the width of the back part of the heat exchanger arranged on the center side may be the same as the length of the back part of the heat exchanger arranged on both side surfaces of the housing. Since the entire circumference of the heat exchanger is shorter than the entire circumference of the heat exchanger arranged on both sides of the housing, as shown in the example of FIG. 7, the heat exchange arranged on the center side It is preferable that the width of the back surface portion of the heat exchanger be larger than the length of the back surface portion of the heat exchanger disposed on both sides of the housing.

以上の構成とすることで、3台以上の室外機を一体化した一体型室外機とした場合でも、配管接続スペース104を大きく確保し且つ伝熱面積も確保でき、省エネ化、低騒音化、低コスト化、小形化等に優れた空気調和機の室外機を得ることができる。   By adopting the above configuration, even when it is an integrated outdoor unit integrating three or more outdoor units, a large pipe connection space 104 and a heat transfer area can be secured, energy saving, noise reduction, An outdoor unit of an air conditioner that is excellent in cost reduction, downsizing, and the like can be obtained.

図8は本発明の第3実施例を示すもので、この図においても、図1〜6と同一符号を付した部分は同一又は相当する部分を示す。
図5及び図6で説明したように、熱交換器200における筐体側面側に位置する部分については、プロペラファン100の回転方向の上流側になる部分ではその長さを長く構成し、下流側となる部分ではその長さを短く構成するのが有効である。そこで、この実施例では、熱交換器の配置構造は図1の実施例と同じにすると共に、左側のプロペラファン100aは上方から見て反時計回り、右側のプロペラファン100bは上面から見て時計回りとしたものである。このように構成することで、熱交換器200の伝熱面積の有効利用とプロペラファンの性能向上が図れるので、省エネ化、低騒音化、低コスト化、小形化等に特に優れた空気調和機の室外機を得ることができる。
FIG. 8 shows a third embodiment of the present invention. In this figure as well, the portions denoted by the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 to 6 indicate the same or corresponding portions.
As described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6, the portion of the heat exchanger 200 located on the side of the casing is configured to have a longer length at the upstream side in the rotation direction of the propeller fan 100, and the downstream side It is effective to make the length short in the part. Therefore, in this embodiment, the arrangement structure of the heat exchanger is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG. 1, the left propeller fan 100a is counterclockwise when viewed from above, and the right propeller fan 100b is viewed from the top. It is something around.
