Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (a) Industrial application field This invention relates to a fan convector used in heating equipment.

(b) Prior Art Among conventional fan convectors of this type, a mobile type fan convector is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 55-178616 (see Figures 4 and 5). A pair of legs 2, 2 are attached to the lower part of the main body 1 and placed on the floor, and the piping outlet 4 of the back panel 3
The hot water pipes 5, 5 led out from the wall 6 are connected to an outlet 7 embedded in the wall 6 for use. These mobile fan convectors are installed away from the wall, so the internal heat exchanger,
The entire back surface is covered with a single back panel 3 so that the fan case and motor (none of which are shown) are visible. Further, a bottom plate 8 is provided to which the legs 2, 2 are attached. On the other hand, with wall-mounted fan converters and wall-mounted fan converters that are placed on the floor next to the wall, there is no problem in appearance even if the entire back surface is not covered, and since they can be attached directly to the wall, there is no need for a bottom plate. Become. For this reason, conventional fan convectors had to be manufactured separately into a mobile type and a wall-mounted type, which had the disadvantage that it was difficult to standardize molds and component parts.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The problems to be solved by this invention are to ensure that when used as a mobile type there is no need to worry about damaging the appearance, and the legs can be easily attached, and when used as a wall-mounted type. The purpose is to make it easy to attach to a wall, reduce the amount of materials used, and make it possible to use both a mobile type and a wall-mounted type.

(d) Means for solving the problem In this invention, in a fan convector in which the heat exchanger is housed in the fan convector body on top and the fan and motor are housed in the bottom, the fan convector body is housed in a heat exchanger. It has a back frame that is integrally formed with an upper frame that covers the rear of the device and a lower frame that covers the rear and lower parts of the fan and motor.A back panel that covers the rear of the lower frame is attached to this back frame, and It has a knock-out hole for wall installation, and a leg mounting section at the bottom of the back panel.

(e) Function When used as a floor-standing mobile type, attach the back panel to the back frame of the fan convector main body, and attach the legs to the leg attachment parts provided at the bottom of the back panel. Therefore, not only the internal parts are covered with the back frame, but also the lower frame, which also serves as the fan case and motor case of the back frame, is covered with the back panel, so there is no risk of spoiling the appearance. Further, the legs can be attached using the back panel without providing a bottom plate in advance.

On the other hand, when using the fan convector as a wall-mounted type, the back panel is not attached to the fan convector main body, and the knock-out holes in the back frame at the top of the back are punched out and used as mounting holes on the wall. For this reason,
The rear frame can be used for wall mounting, saving material for covering the lower rear and bottom surfaces.

(f) Examples Hereinafter, examples of this invention shown in the drawings will be described.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 9 denotes a fan convector main body, 10 a rear panel that covers the lower part of the back of the fan convector main body, and 11, 11 a leg body attached to the lower part of the rear panel 10.

The fan converter main body 9 is the operation switch 1
2. A resin front frame 16 having a temperature control switch 13, an air intake port 14, and an air outlet 15, a side frame 17, a back frame 18 covering the upper back surface, a fan case 19, a motor case 20, and a skirt portion 21. As shown in FIG. 3, a heat exchanger 23 is housed in the upper part of the frames 16 and 22, and a fan 24 and a motor are housed in the lower part. The rear frame 18 is behind
(upper frame), and the rear and lower parts of the fan 24 and motor are covered by a fan case 19 and a motor case 20 (lower frame), respectively. Further, the rear frame 18 is provided with round hole-shaped knockout holes 25, 25 at the upper part, daruma hole-shaped knockout holes 26, 26 at the lower part, and protrusions 27, 27 at the lower edge, respectively. Boss 28, 2 with tapped hole
8, and the skirt portion 21 is provided with protrusions 29, 2.
9 is provided.

The back panel 10 is made of sheet metal, and has seats 30, 30 on the upper edge into which the protrusions 27, 27 of the back frame 18 fit, and screws 31, 31 in the center.
Screw insertion holes 32, 32 and pipe insertion holes 33, 3 that are inserted through and lead to the bosses 28, 28 of the fan case 19
3 is bored, and a leg mounting piece 10a having tap holes 34, 34 at its lower end is bent.

The legs 11, 11 are hollow ladder-shaped resin molded products, and have a notch 35 in the upper part that engages with the protrusion 29 of the skirt portion 21, and a screw 36 that is inserted into the leg attachment piece 10a of the back panel 10. Screw insertion holes 37 leading to tap holes 34 are provided respectively.

When using the fan convector as a mobile type, first, while fitting the seats 30, 30 of the back panel 10 and the protrusions 27, 27 of the back frame 18, insert the screws 31, 31 through the screw insertion holes 32, 32. By screwing into the bosses 28, 28, the back panel 10 is attached to the lower back of the fan convector main body 9. Next, the notch 35 of the leg body 11
While engaging the protrusion 29 of the skirt portion 21, the screw 36 is passed through the screw insertion hole 37 from below the leg body 11 and screwed into the tap hole 34 of the leg attachment piece 10a, thereby attaching the leg bodies 11, 11. It is fixed to the leg mounting piece 10a of the back panel 10. Then, connect the hot water piping (not shown) to the piping insertion hole 33 of the back panel 10.
33 from inside the main body 9 and connected to an outlet (not shown). In this case, since the entire back surface of the fan convector main body 9 is covered with the back frame 18 and the back panel 10, the internal heat exchanger 23, fan case 19, etc. will not be exposed even if it is installed away from the wall. There is no need to worry about damaging the appearance.
In addition, the legs 1 can be easily attached using the back panel 10.
1 and 11 can be attached, eliminating the need for a bottom plate. Furthermore, since the rear panel 10 only needs to be less than half the size of the entire rear surface, it can be attached to the main body 9 with a small number of screws (two in this embodiment), and the rear panel 10 can be made of sheet metal. So,
Sufficient mounting strength of the legs 11, 11 can be obtained.

When the fan convector is installed on a wall and used, the back panel 10 is not attached to the main body 9, and knockout holes 25, 25, 26, and 26 are punched out.
Then, hook the knock-out holes 26, 26 in the shape of a drill hole onto the screws previously installed on the wall surface and temporarily fix them, and insert the screws into the wall surface from the inside of the knock-out holes 25, 25, and then screw the fan converter main body 9.
Fix it to the wall.

In this case, it can be easily attached to a wall using the back frame 18. Additionally, since the lower back and bottom surfaces are not covered, significant savings in materials can be achieved.

(g) Effects of the invention This invention is structured as described above, so
When used as a mobile type, cover the lower frame that also serves as the fan case and motor case on the back frame with a separate back panel so that not only the internal parts but also the lower frame that also serves as the fan case and motor case are not exposed. An unsightly appearance can be eliminated, and the legs can be easily attached using the leg attachment portions provided at the lower part of the back panel. Furthermore, when installing on a wall, the knock-out holes in the upper frame of the back frame can be used to easily mount the device on the wall, and the back panel can be omitted, significantly reducing the amount of materials used. Furthermore, since the mobile type and wall-mounted type can be used together,
It is possible to standardize molds and component parts, and can be manufactured at low cost.
