Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the rotation of a receiving plate and carry out the installation of the receiving plate simply and surely by fixing a pair of right and left receiving plates to which a blower mounting plate are fixed by screws to the panels on both sides by bolts and, at the same time, providing respective receiving plates with a projection section that is in contact with both side panels. CONSTITUTION:A pair of right and left receiving plates 17 that support a blower 10 are formed with a L-shaped channel member, and the side face is provided with a bolt hole 18 and a projecting section 19 that is formed like a punch-out, and at the same time in the upper face a mounting hole 20 of a blower mounting plate 11 is provided. And the receiving plate 17 brings the projecting section 19 in contact with the eaves section 3c of respective panels 3a, 3b on both side faces and the receiving plate 17 is slid up and down in order to fix the positions of the bolt hole 18 and both side panels 3, 3b and, at the same time, the bolt hole 18 is fixed by a bolt to fix both side panels 3a, 3b. Consequently even if a weight is exerted to the receiving plate 17 by mounting the blower mounting plate 11, the receiving plate never rotates because the projecting section engages both side panels 3a and 3b.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a blower mounting structure for an air conditioner.

0002

[Prior Art] FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a conventional air conditioner.
FIG. 5 is a front view of the vicinity of the blower and outlet grill of the air conditioner shown in FIG. 4, and FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 5. As shown in FIG. 4, the air conditioner has a box-shaped appearance. A compressor 2 is attached to an underframe 1 constituting the bottom of this box shape. Along both side edges of this underframe 1, left and right side panels 3a
, 3b are erected. Further, a rear panel 4 is provided upright along the rear edge of the underframe 1. Each side panel 3
A ceiling panel 5 is attached to the upper ends of a, 3b and the rear panel 4.

[0003] On the front of the air conditioner, there is an air outlet grill 6 located upwardly.
exists. This outlet grille 6 is connected to the both side panels 3a.
, 3b. Below the outlet grille 6, a front panel 7 is attached to the front edges of both side panels 3a, 3b. Further, a suction grill 8 is integrally provided on this front panel 7. A heat exchanger 9 is attached to the back side of the suction grill 8, and the refrigerant supplied from the compressor 2 and the suction grill 8 are connected to each other.
Heat exchanges with the conditioned air sucked through the air. The air to be conditioned is sucked in by a blower 10, which is attached to a blower mounting plate 11 provided horizontally inside the air conditioner. In addition,
The blower 10 includes an electric motor, a sirocco fan, a fan cover, and the like. In order to attach the blower mounting plate 11, a receiving plate 12 is installed horizontally between the outlet grille 6 and the front panel 7 along the inner sides of both side panels 3a and 3b. A pair of receiving plates 12 are attached to each of the front and rear surfaces on the left and right sides, and each is secured with screws at two locations on the top and bottom. The blower mounting plate 11 is fixed to the receiving plate 12 with screws 13.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the upper ends of both side panels 3a and 3b are bent inward to form a flange, to which a ceiling panel 5 is fixed with screws. ing. Further, the front and rear edges of the ceiling panel 5 are bent downward to form a flange. The blowout grille 6 is equipped with a blowout louver 14 having a function of changing the wind direction. The lower end 15 of this blow-off grille 6 is positioned in contact with the blower mounting plate 11 located below. That is, a front flange portion 16 is formed at the front edge of the blower mounting plate 11, and the lower end portion 15 of the outlet grille 6 is in contact with the inside of this front flange portion 16. In this contact state, both ends of the outlet grille 6 are screwed and fixed to flanges formed at the front edges of both side panels 3a, 3b.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Since the air conditioner described above is constructed as described above, when attaching the receiving plate 12 to the side panels 3a and 3b, screws must be secured at two locations each. Therefore, it took a lot of time to confirm the position of the screw holes, and it took a long time to assemble.

The present invention has been made in order to eliminate the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a blower mounting structure that allows a blower receiving plate to be reliably and easily attached with simple work.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A blower mounting structure for an air conditioner according to the present invention includes an underframe on which a compressor is mounted;
Left and right side panels erected along both side edges of the underframe, a rear panel erected along the rear edge of the underframe, and a ceiling attached to the upper end of each side panel. A panel, an air outlet grille attached to the upper front edge of both front side panels, a front panel attached to the front edge of both side panels below the air outlet grille, and a suction air intake provided on the front panel. a grill, a heat exchanger for exchanging heat between the refrigerant supplied by the compressor and the conditioned air supplied through the suction grill, a blower for supplying the conditioned air, and a blower installation to which the blower is attached. and at least a pair of right and left receiving plates each installed horizontally along the inner side of both side panels between the outlet grille and the front panel to receive the blower mounting plate. In the machine, the left and right receiving plates to which the blower mounting plate is screwed are fixed to the side panel by screws at one point, and the receiving plate is provided with a protrusion that abuts the side panel, and the blower mounting plate is attached to the receiving plate. It is characterized in that it prevents the receiving plate from rotating when it is turned.

[0008]

[Function] In this invention, screw holes can be easily checked by sliding the receiving plate in the vertical direction by bringing the protrusion provided on the receiving plate into contact with the side panel. It can be done in places.

[0009]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a blower equipped with a blower mounting structure according to the present invention and the vicinity of the outlet grill. Reference numeral 17 denotes a pair of left and right receiving plates for supporting the blower 10. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the right receiving plate 17. Show the diagram. The receiving plate 17 is made of L-shaped channel material, and has one screw hole 18 and a punched protrusion 19 on the side surface, and a mounting hole 20 for a blower mounting plate on the top surface.

As shown in FIG. 1, the receiving plate 17 is made by contacting the projections 19 with the eaves 3c of the side panels 3a, 3b and sliding the receiving plate 17 in the vertical direction to open the screw holes 18 of the receiving plate 17. The side panels 3a, 3b can be positioned with respect to each other, and can be attached to the side panels 3a, 3b by tightening one screw from the screw hole 18. Furthermore, even if the weight of the blower mounting plate 11 is applied to the receiving plate 17, the receiving plate 17 will not rotate because the projections 19 are locked to the side panels 3a, 3b.

Note that the projection 19 of the receiving plate 17 is shown in FIG.
The receiving plate 17 may be cut and raised as shown in FIG. 1, or the receiving plate 17 may be formed by integrating the front and rear parts.

0012

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention,
The receiving plate that supports the blower via the mounting plate is provided with a protrusion that makes contact with the side panel, and the receiving plate is attached to the side panel.
Since it can be firmly fixed with screws at certain points, the mounting work of the receiving plate can be done reliably and easily, and the assembly can be completed in a short time. Further, the number of screws can be reduced compared to the conventional example.
