Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical outdoor unit for an air conditioner, which increases the degree of freedom of connection piping and wiring and improves installation workability.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, in a split type air conditioner, a refrigeration cycle constituent device provided in an indoor unit and a refrigeration cycle constituent device provided in an outdoor unit are connected by pipes. The packed valve is exposed on the outside of the box-shaped casing so that the pipes can be connected from either the left or right or top and bottom directions.

[0003]

The structure in which the packed valve for pipe connection provided in the outdoor unit is exposed to the outside of the box-shaped casing allows the pipe to be drawn and connected from either the left or right direction or the up and down direction. Although the installation work can be performed easily, there is a drawback in that the appearance of the outdoor unit is impaired.

Therefore, the packed valve for pipe connection is provided with a pipe cover to prevent the packed valve for pipe connection from being exposed to the outside, or the packed valve for pipe connection is arranged inside the box-shaped casing to solve the above problems. Although a technical means to solve the problem has been proposed, in this case, there is a problem in workability because the pipe drawing direction is single.

Further, when the packed valve for pipe connection is arranged inside the box-shaped casing, the pipe is inserted through the circular or elliptical hole provided in the box-shaped casing. , The box-shaped casing can be removed only after removing the piping and wiring.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vertical outdoor unit for an air conditioner in which the degree of freedom of connection piping and wiring is increased and the installation workability is improved. And

[0007]

A vertical outdoor unit for an air conditioner of the present invention divides an inner space of a box-shaped casing into upper and lower parts so that a blower chamber is formed on an upper side and a cycle chamber is formed on a lower side. The lower cycle chamber is divided into left and right, the packed valve and the power supply connector are arranged in one chamber, and the front panel is divided into two parts on the front of the box-shaped casing, which corresponds to the cycle chamber of the box-shaped casing. A pipe insertion port at the lower end opening for passing connecting pipes and wiring is provided on the surface or corner, and the pipe cover that covers this pipe insertion port is turned over to the box-shaped casing so that it can be attached. It is configured by providing a notch at one side edge to allow connection piping and wiring.

[0008]

In the vertical outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention, the pipe insertion port provided on the surface or corner corresponding to the cycle chamber of the box-shaped casing is the lower end opening, so the pipe cover fixed to the pipe insertion port. By removing the, you can remove the box-shaped casing with the piping and wiring connected, and
By installing the pipe cover from either the top or bottom or the left or right, the flexibility of connecting pipes and wiring is increased and installation workability is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a vertical outdoor unit of an air conditioner. The internal space of a box-shaped casing 1 of the vertical outdoor unit is divided into upper and lower two chambers by a horizontal partition plate 2, and a heat exchanger and a blower are provided in the upper chamber 3. The lower chamber 4 is provided with a compressor, and the lower chamber 4 is provided with a compressor to form a cycle chamber. The lower chamber 4 is divided into left and right by a vertical partition plate 5, and a packed valve 6a and an SL connector 6b are arranged in the chamber 4a on one side. Further, an upper front panel 7 is arranged at a portion corresponding to the upper chamber 3 on the front surface of the box-shaped casing 1, and a lower front panel 8 is arranged at a portion corresponding to the lower chamber 4.

On the other hand, the chamber 4 in which the packed valve 6a and the SL connector 6b are arranged on the back surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1.
A pipe insertion port 9 is formed at a portion corresponding to a.
The pipe insertion port 9 is open at the lower end and is formed at the side end of the back surface 1a as shown in FIG. A pipe cover 10 is fixed so as to cover the pipe insertion port 9. The pipe cover 10 has a notch 1 on the lower end side with the lower end opened.
1 is formed, and the notch 11 fixedly supports the pipe 12 connected to the packed valve 6a. The mounting holes 13, 13 ... Are formed at four corners of the pipe cover 10, and screw holes 14, 14 ... Are also formed in the vicinity of the pipe insertion port 9 on the back surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1 in correspondence with these mounting holes 13. Has been done. The upper mounting hole 13 and the lower mounting hole 13 provided on the pipe cover 10 are located at the same position from the edge, and even if they are turned upside down, they are located at positions corresponding to the screw holes 14 provided on the rear surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1. It is supposed to be.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 15 is a mounting screw for fixing the pipe cover 10 to the back surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1.

Next, the operation will be described. The pipe 12 is connected to the packed valve 6a, and the wiring not shown is connected to the SL connector 6
To connect to b, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower front panel 8 fixed to the box-shaped casing 1 is removed, and the lower chamber 4
Can be operated from the front, and the pipe 12 and wiring are inserted into the lower chamber 4 of the box-shaped casing 1 through the pipe insertion port 9 provided on the back surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1. When the pipe 12 or the wiring is rotated from the lower side as shown in FIG. 3, the pipe cover 10 is arranged in the pipe insertion opening 9 so that the notch 11 is located on the lower side,
It is fixed to the back surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1 by the mounting screw 15. Further, when the pipe 12 and the wiring are rotated from the upper direction as shown in FIG. 4, the pipe cover 10 is arranged in the pipe insertion port 9 so that the notch 11 is located on the upper side, and the mounting screw 15 is attached. Due to the back surface 1a of the box-shaped casing 1
Fixed to.

Further, since the pipe insertion port 9 provided in the box-shaped casing 1 is a lower end opening, the pipe 12 is removed by removing a screw (not shown) that connects the box-shaped casing 1 and the bottom plate.
To the packed valve 6a and connect the wiring to the SL connector 6b
The box-shaped casing 1 can be detached from the main body in a state of being connected to, and the disassembling work by inspection service or the like becomes easy.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the pipe insertion port 20 provided in the box-shaped casing 1 is shown.
Is formed in a corner located between the back surface 1a and the side surface 1b, and the pipe cover 21 arranged in the pipe insertion port 20 has a substantially L shape corresponding to this corner, and the cutout 2 is formed on one side thereof.
2 is formed. Like the piping cover 10, the piping cover 21 can be attached to the box-shaped casing 1 even if the right and left sides are reversed.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, by reversing the pipe cover and attaching it to the pipe insertion port provided in the box-shaped casing, the flexibility of the pipe and wiring is increased and the installation workability is improved. By connecting the piping inside the box-shaped casing, the appearance of the product can be kept beautiful. Further, by removing the box-shaped casing from the main body while the pipes and wiring are still connected, disassembly work such as inspection service can be easily performed without removing the pipes and wiring as in the conventional case.
