Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform suitably water prevention for a power terminal of a compressor by providing a protective cover for the power terminal of the compressor at the side part of the main body of the compressor and forming an exit hole for a conductor connected to the power terminal on the obliquely downward portion of the protective cover. CONSTITUTION:Even in the case where the water comes up in the vicinity of a protective cover 6 for a power terminal of a compressor due to a submerged or flooded outdoor unit, the water is checked by the protective cover 6 and hardly comes to the inner power terminal of the compressor 2 through an exit hole 8 for a conductor 7, which is provided on the obliquely downward portion of the protective cover. Further, because of an inclined portion 9 provided on the bottom face of the protective cover, the water coming up to the protective cover 6 is suitably drained. On the other hand, even when the water comes inside the protective cover 6, the water is immediately drained to the external side through the exit hole 8 by means of the exit hole 8 provided on the obliquely downward portion of the protective cover and the inclined portion 9 provided on the bottom face thereof. Thus, even in the case where the water comes up in the vicinity of the power terminal of the compressor 2 due to the submerged or flooded outdoor unit, water prevention can be suitably performed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional outdoor unit for a separate type air conditioner of this type, that is, a waterproof treatment of a compressor power supply terminal unit for flooding or flooding of an outdoor unit when a horizontal compressor is installed at the lower part The structure becomes very important.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an outdoor unit in which a horizontal compressor having a power supply terminal of the compressor on its side is installed on the lower side, and the compressor power supply can be used for flooding or flooding. The waterproofing of the terminal portion is performed, and the size of the outdoor unit in the height direction is reduced to realize miniaturization.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The technical means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is to provide an outlet hole of a lead wire, which is connected to a compressor power source terminal provided on a side portion of a main body of a compressor, with a downward slope. It is to equip the compressor power terminal protection cover provided in the section.

[0005]

By the above technical means, even if flooding or inundation of the outdoor unit should occur, it is difficult for water to enter the compressor power supply terminal from the outlet hole of the lead wire, and even if water does enter the outlet hole. Water is not easily retained in the compressor power supply terminal because it is easily drained. Furthermore, since the conductor connected to the compressor power supply terminal is pulled out from the hole provided in the lower sloping part of the compressor power supply terminal protection cover, it is higher than when it is pulled out from the hole provided directly below. It does not require a directional distance and is pulled upward from the hole without applying undue force to the conductor.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. 2, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an entire internal configuration of an outdoor unit of a separate type air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.
It comprises a compressor 2 provided at the lower front part of the above, a heat exchanger 3 provided at the rear of the substrate 1, a blower 4 provided at the central front part, and an electrical equipment box 5 provided at the upper part. Further, a compressor power source terminal protection cover 6 for protecting the compressor power source terminals is attached to the side of the main body of the compressor 2. FIG. 2 shows a partial view of the vicinity of the compressor 2 seen from the direction A in FIG. In FIG. 2, the compressor power supply terminal protection cover 6 mounted on the compressor 2 is provided with an outlet hole 8 at the lower part of the slant for drawing out a lead wire 7 connected to the power supply terminal of the compressor 2, and on the bottom surface thereof. It has a configuration in which a slope 9 is provided. With the above configuration, even if water is splashed on the vicinity of the compressor power supply terminal protection cover 6 due to flooding or flooding of the outdoor unit, water will enter the internal compressor power supply terminal from the outlet hole 8 provided at the lower portion of the slope. Hateful. Further, since the slope portion 9 is provided on the bottom surface, the water splashed on the compressor power supply terminal protection cover 6 can be properly drained. On the other hand, even if the inside of the compressor power terminal protection cover 6 is flooded, the intruded water is immediately drained to the outside from the outlet hole 8 by the outlet hole 8 provided at the lower portion of the slope and the slope portion 9 provided at the bottom. Will be done. Furthermore, when the conductor wire 7 connected to the compressor power supply terminal is drawn out, the slope portion 9 is provided on the bottom surface and the outlet hole 8 is provided at the lower portion of the slope, so that it is easier than the case where the conductor wire 7 is drawn out from the hole provided directly below. And without requiring a distance in the height direction, the conductor 7
Is pulled out from the outlet hole 8 and guided to the electrical equipment box 5 without applying an excessive force.

[0007]

As is apparent from the above-described embodiment, the present invention is provided with a protective cover for the compressor power supply terminal on the side of the main body of the compressor, and the outlet hole of the lead wire connected to the compressor power supply terminal is provided with a downward slanted portion. Since it is installed in the outdoor unit, even if water enters the vicinity of the compressor power terminal due to flooding or flooding of the outdoor unit, waterproofing can be properly performed, and at the same time, the distance in the height direction is small and the compressor power terminal is connected. Since the lead wire can be pulled out without applying an unreasonable force, the size of the outdoor unit as a whole in the height direction can be reduced, and the size can be reduced.
