Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an air conditioner installed in the ceiling.

Prior Art Conventionally, ceiling-embedded air conditioners installed in the attic of buildings have been installed as shown in Figures 3 and 4. i.e. the upper floor of the house 1
There is a main body 5 of a ceiling-embedded air conditioner suspended by hanging bolts 4 (Fig. 3) in the attic 3 between the ceiling 2 and the ceiling 2 on the floor below.
Top plate 6, side plate 7, back plate 8, front plate 9, bottom plate 1
Consists of 0. The front plate 9 is the compressor 1
1, and a front plate 13 for shielding the opening 12. This front plate 13 has holes 14 around its periphery and is fixed to the front plate 13 with screws 16 along with screw holes 15 provided on the front plate 9 side.

A discharge pipe 17 and a suction pipe 18 are connected to the compressor 11 as a refrigeration cycle, and the compressor 11 is attached to the bottom plate 10 at three locations by bolts 19 equipped with vibration isolators. Next, an inspection port 20 is installed on the ceiling 2 near the main body 5, so that when the compressor 11 needs to be inspected or replaced,
Push open the inspection port cover 20, insert your body, remove the screws 16, remove the front plate 13, remove the discharge pipe 17 and suction pipe 18 using a burner, etc., and then remove the Remove bolts 19, etc. and remove compressor 1.
1 was to be replaced and inspected.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In this conventional configuration, even when replacing the compressor 11 or performing normal inspections, the operator stands on a stepladder, etc., pushes up the inspection port cover 20, and places the upper body inside the attic 3. As a result, the person has almost no freedom of movement, and in addition, the top plate 6 of the main body 5 is close to the floor 1 on the step, making it extremely difficult to remove the top plate 6, which is impossible due to the construction conditions of the building. becomes. Furthermore, even if it were possible, there was a problem in that the replacement work required a lot of time.

This invention solves these problems,
The object of the present invention is to provide a ceiling-embedded air conditioner that is easy to inspect or replace the compressor.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention has an opening formed in the front plate of the main body near where the compressor is located, and a front plate that shields this opening. A notch is provided at a position substantially opposite to the front plate of the top plate, and a notch shielding plate is provided to cover the notch, and this notch shielding plate is integrally connected to the front plate.

Function With this configuration, when replacing or inspecting the compressor, by removing the front plate that covers the opening in the front plate, the notch shielding plate that is integrally fixed to this front plate can also be removed at the same time. It will be removed and the front and top sides near the compressor will be opened for inspection.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. As shown in the figure, there is an attic 24 between an upper floor 22 of a building or the like and a lower ceiling 23, and a main body 26 of the ceiling-embedded air conditioner is connected to the attic 24 by hanging bolts 25. is being hung. This main body 26 includes a top plate 27, side plates 28 on both sides, a front plate 29, a back plate 30, and a bottom plate 3.
It is composed of 1. The front plate 29 has an opening 33 provided for inspection of the compressor 32,
A front plate 34 that covers this opening 33
It is equipped with This front plate 34 has a plurality of holes 35 around it, which are aligned with screw holes 36 provided on the front plate 29 side and fixed by screws 37, 37a, so as to cover the opening 33.
The top plate 27 also has a notch 38 above where the compressor 32 is located, and a notch shielding plate 39 is provided to shield this notch 38 from above.
The cutout shielding plate 39 has a stepped part 40 that is pushed into the lower side of the top plate 27 on one side in the depth direction, and the other piece that is the left and right pieces of this stepped part 40, that is, on both sides. , holding pieces 41 that are placed on both ends of the notch 38 are provided, and a fixing piece 42 that is fixed together with the upper part of the front plate 34 is bent on the front side. The compressor 32 is connected to a discharge pipe 44 as shown in FIG. 2, and is attached to the bottom plate 31 at three locations by bolts 45 equipped with vibration isolating devices such as vibration isolating springs. Further, an inspection port cover 46 is provided on the ceiling 23 near the main body 26, and the inspection port cover 46 is opened during inspection.

In the above configuration, if an unexpected situation arises in which the compressor 32 and its surrounding equipment must be inspected or the compressor 32 must be replaced, the inspection port 4
6 and remove a plurality of screws 37. Then, remove the front plate 34, but at this time, do not remove the screws 37a shown in FIG. 2, as they are tightened together with the notch shielding plate 39 on the top plate side. Leave the screws 37a and tighten the surrounding screws 37. Remove it and take the front plate 34 forward. Therefore, both the front plate 34 and the cutout shielding plate 39 come off, and the front and top sides of the compressor 32 are opened. With this opening, the compressor 32 can be easily removed by removing the discharge pipe 43 and suction pipe 44 using a burner, and removing the bolts 45.

Also, when installing a new compressor 32, the steps are performed in the reverse order. When shielding the opening 33 and the notch 38, push the stepped part 40 of the notch shielding plate 39 under the top plate 27 and place the holding pieces 41 on both sides on the top plate 27. By fixing with screws 37, the notch 38 of the top plate and the opening 33 are closed.
It is possible to shield both at the same time.

Further, in this embodiment, the front plate 34 and the notch shielding plate 39 are connected by screws 37a, but they may be integrated by bending into an L shape by press working.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention integrates the front plate, which covers the opening provided in the front plate, with the notch shielding plate, which shields the notch on the top plate side. Inspection of peripheral equipment and replacement work of the compressor become easier, and the work time can be shortened.
