Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance installation workability and its safety by reducing an installation space in the case of installing an outdoor unit for a separate type air conditioner by using a flat stand, metal fittings for wall hanging and the like, which are available as parts for separate sale, while maintaining the safety in a conventional manner in the case where said outdoor unit is installed directly on a concrete floor or installed on the ground with blocks interposed therebetween. CONSTITUTION:Setting base legs consist of: main setting base legs 2 disposed to the main body 1 of an outdoor unit; and auxiliary setting base legs 3 which are separable from the main setting base legs at a position of the substantially front part of the main body 1 and can be slid horizontally within the main setting base legs 2 and detachably attached thereto.

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 An outdoor unit of a conventional separate type air conditioner will be described with reference to FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner showing a conventional example, in which the main body 2 of the outdoor unit is shown.
1, the installation leg 22 is arranged. In order to maintain the stability when the outdoor unit is directly placed on concrete or installed via a block, the installation leg 22 has a shape protruding from the front and rear surfaces of the main body 21 by a considerable amount. ing. Therefore, when the outdoor unit is installed by using a separately sold component such as a flat pedestal and a wall-mounting metal fitting, a great problem occurs in terms of installation space and safety. This point will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those in FIG. 6 are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 7 is a side view when the outdoor unit in the conventional example is installed using a flat ground table. On the other hand, FIG. 8 is a side view when the outdoor unit in the conventional example is installed on a wall by using a wall-hanging metal fitting.

[0003]

However, in the configuration of FIG. 7, the main body 21 is installed by fixing the installation leg 22 and the flat ground table 23 with the fasteners 24, but at the front portion A of the main body 21. Since the portion shown is to be projected, an extra installation space is required, and there is a danger that the user may get caught when crossing the front surface of the main body 21.

Further, in the structure of FIG. 8, the main body 21 is installed on the wall by fixing the installation legs 22 and the wall fittings 26 fixed to the wall 25 of the building with fasteners 27. An extra installation space is required because the portion B of the front surface of the body protrudes.
It is dangerous to hit the head when passing the front part of 1.

The present invention maintains the stability when the outdoor unit is placed directly on concrete or the like or is installed via a block and the like, and is also sold separately as a flat ground table,
The purpose is to reduce the installation space when installing using a wall-mounting metal fitting, etc. to improve the installability and improve the safety.

[0006]

According to the technical means of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems, the installation leg of the outdoor unit is divided at a position substantially on the front surface of the main body, and one of the sides is disposed on the main body. In the installation leg, the other divided installation leg can slide horizontally at the front-back position of the front surface of the main body.

[0007]

The operation of the above technical means is as follows. That is, when installing the outdoor unit directly on concrete or installing it via a block, etc., by pulling out the divided installation leg on the other side from the installation leg on the side installed on the main body and using it Can maintain stability. On the other hand, when installing using a separately sold member such as a flat ground stand or wall mount, install the dedicated flat ground stand with the other side installation leg stored in the installation leg on the side installed on the main body Alternatively, the wall fittings are fixed to the metal fittings with fasteners so as to eliminate extra protrusions, reduce the installation space, improve the installability, and improve the safety. Further, in the case of installation using a conventional flat ground stand, wall hangings or the like, the other installation leg on the other side may be pulled out from the installation leg on the side of the main body and used.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the main installation leg 2 disposed in the main body 1 and the inside of the main installation leg 2 are horizontally oriented. An installation leg is configured with the auxiliary installation leg 3 that can slide. Note that the main installation leg 2 and the auxiliary installation leg 3 are split at a position substantially on the front surface of the main body 1, and the auxiliary installation leg 3 can slide horizontally in the main installation leg 2 before and after that. Next, the operation during installation of the outdoor unit having the above configuration is shown in FIG.
5 to FIG. 5 will be described as a reference. Here, the same components as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 2 is a side view when the outdoor unit of one embodiment of the present invention is directly placed via a block, in which the auxiliary installation leg 3 is pulled out from the main installation leg 2 and protruded from the front surface of the main body 1. It is installed on the block 5 and maintains the same level of stability as before. On the other hand, in the case of installing on a flat ground table, as shown in FIG. 3, the auxiliary installation leg 3 is fixed inside the main installation leg 2 with the fastener 7 on the flat ground table 6. In this case, the auxiliary installation leg 3 and the flat pedestal 6 are not projected at all on the front surface of the main body 1, the installation space is reduced, the installation property is improved, and the safety is also improved. Further, when installing using a conventional type flat grounding table, as shown in FIG. 4, the auxiliary setting leg 3 is pulled out from the main setting leg 2 and fixed to the conventional type flat grounding table 8 with fasteners 9. do it. Similarly when installing it on the wall hangings
As shown in, the main installation leg 2 and the auxiliary installation leg 3 are fixed by the fasteners 12 to the wall fittings 11 fixed to the wall 10 of the building while the auxiliary installation leg 3 is housed inside the main installation leg 2. Since the installation leg and the wall-mounting metal fitting are not projected on the front surface of the main body 1, the installation space is reduced, the installability is improved, and the safety is also improved.

[0009]

As is apparent from the above embodiment, the installation leg of the outdoor unit is divided at a position substantially at the front surface of the main body, and the installation leg on the side disposed on the main body is divided on the other side. Since it can slide horizontally, when installing the outdoor unit directly on concrete etc. or installing it via a block, etc., while maintaining the stability as before, the flat ground stand or the separately sold parts When installing using a wall-mounting metal fitting or the like, the installation space can be reduced, so that the installability can be improved and the safety can also be improved.
