Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a handle provided in a cabinet that constitutes an outdoor unit and used as a handle when carrying the outdoor unit.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As shown in FIG. 4 (A), an outdoor unit Ya that constitutes a conventional air conditioner is provided with a cabinet Ka that is rectangular in both front and side views, and a handle Ta is provided on both side plates b. Is provided.

The handle Ta is indispensable as a handle for carrying the outdoor unit Ya, and its mounting position is also a front plate a (or a rear plate) in consideration of workability. However, the attachment to the side plate b is limited.

By the way, the handle Ta itself has already been manufactured as a standard product, and is fitted and fixed in the opening c provided in the side plate b, as shown in FIG.

To explain, the handle Ta includes a rectangular opening d, a mounting flange e integrally provided along the periphery of the opening d, and attached to the side plate b, and an opening d. The handle part f is integrally provided along the periphery and projects into the cabinet Ka.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The problem lies in the structure of the handle Ta. That is, the worker bends his / her finger and inserts it from the opening portion d, and in that state, applies it to the upper surface of the handhold portion f, and applies force to lift the outdoor unit Ya to carry it.

[0007] However, the handle Ta has a size regulation so that the handle portion f does not interfere with other parts such as the heat exchanger g, and is disposed so as to be biased to one of the side plates b. ing.

Therefore, since the dimensions of the heat exchanger g and the like are prioritized, the width dimension of the opening d cannot be made sufficient, the fingers cannot be inserted and removed smoothly, and the width dimension of the hand-holding portion f is, of course, Since the depth dimension is not sufficient, there is little grip between fingers.

The angle between the plate surface of the side plate b and the upper surface of the handle portion f of the handle Ta is substantially right, and it is not possible to set a large bending angle of the fingers and a large grip margin for the handle portion f. However, the worker had to concentrate his power on only a part of his fingers, and the workability was poor.

As a recent design tendency, there is a so-called round shape that is fluffy and rounded as a whole rather than a so-called square shape where the corners are at right angles or angles close to that. Tends to be preferred.

The cabinet of the outdoor unit is no exception, and it is necessary to provide a handle adapted to such a design.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an opening portion that allows easy insertion / removal of fingers and has a sufficient margin without interfering with other parts. It is easy to grip with fingers, has a large gripping allowance, can evenly apply force to a wide area, and is equipped with a handheld part that can be carried with certainty, providing a handle for the outdoor unit that improves workability. To do.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a handle installed in a cabinet that constitutes an outdoor unit and used as a handle when carrying the outdoor unit. The handle is provided on a side plate of the cabinet bent in an R shape in plan view. Most of it is formed, and the remaining part goes around one of the front plate or back plate of the cabinet and is integrally provided along the opening with a large width and the peripheral edge of this opening. The handle of the outdoor unit is characterized in that it has a handle portion that protrudes into the cabinet, has a large depth dimension, and is gradually inclined upward.

[0014]

[Action]

 In particular, it is a handle that is most suitable for mounting on a cabinet with a rounded design that is bent in an R shape in plan view, and the opening part forms most of the side plate and leaves the remaining part. Increase the width of the cabinet by wrapping it around either the front plate or the back plate of the cabinet. Therefore, the width dimension becomes large without interfering with other parts, and the fingers can be easily inserted and removed.

Since the handle portion is located at the corner of the cabinet, the depth dimension can be made sufficiently large, and the handle portion is gradually inclined upward. Therefore, the grip of the fingers becomes large, and the force can be applied at a large bending angle, which facilitates carrying.

[0016]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the cabinet K that constitutes the outdoor unit Y, here, the front plate 1 (or the back plate) has a rectangular shape, but at least the side plate 2 (the other side not shown) The face plate as well) is formed in an R shape with a predetermined radius of curvature in a plan view, and is close to or has become a design with a recent rounded shape.

Here, the handle T is provided along the periphery of the opening 3, the mounting flange 4 integrally provided along the periphery of the opening 3 and fixedly attached to the side plate 2. The handle portion 5 is integrally provided and protrudes into the cabinet K.

Basically, the opening 3 has a large vertical dimension, and most of the opening 3 is formed at a position where one side end is biased in plan view of the side plate 2, and the remaining part is a cavity. Here, the net K has a shape that wraps around the front plate 1 (which may be a rear plate not shown).

As described above, the width dimension of the opening 3 can be increased due to the relationship between the shape of the cabinet K and the position selection of the handle T.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, since the handle portion 5 is located at the corner of the cabinet K, the depth dimension can be made sufficiently large. Then, it was gradually tilted upward as a whole so that the bending of the fingers inserted here could be increased.

Further, a large number of ventilation holes 6 are provided at a predetermined interval on the curved front surface of the handle portion 5 to provide ventilation to the inside of the cabinet K.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2 (A), a claw portion 7 is provided on the upper surface of the handhold portion 5, and the handhold portion 5 is pushed into the opening portion 3 of the cabinet K, and the opening portion 3 thereof is pushed. The handle portion 5, that is, the handle T, is attached to and fixed to the cabinet K by being hooked on the peripheral portion.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the claw portion 7 has an inclined shape that gradually protrudes toward the tip, which is convenient for mounting and fixing to the cabinet K.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2 (C), on the upper surface of the handgrip portion 5, around the claw portion 7, when the handle T is pushed into the cabinet K, the claw portion 7 is elastically deformed. The slit 8 is formed in a concave shape, and the slit 8 also has a function as a ventilation hole.

As shown in FIG. 3, the claw portion 7 is provided not only on the upper surface portion 5a of the handholding portion 5 but also on the lower surface portion 5b, but the position where the slit 8 is provided is at the handholding portion. 5 is not limited to the upper surface portion 5a, and the lower surface portion 5b is not.

That is, when a person stands near the cabinet K and looks at the handle T, the upper surface 5a of the handle portion 5 cannot be seen even if the slit 8 is provided, but the lower surface 5b is within the visual field range. If the slits 8 are provided here, the appearance will be spoiled.

Since the handle T is configured as described above, the width dimension as well as the vertical dimension of the opening 3 becomes large, so that the fingers can be easily inserted, and after the work is completed, the fingers can be easily inserted from the handle T. Get out of.

Further, since the outdoor unit K is carried around, if a force is applied to the finger inserted through the opening 3, the finger will inevitably hang on the upper surface of the handgrip 5, but the handgrip 5 has a sufficient depth dimension. Therefore, it is possible to secure a large and wide gripping allowance, which is an area that requires fingers.

Further, since the hand-holding portion 5 is gradually inclined upward, the bending angle of the finger applied to the hand-holding portion 5 is increased, and it is easy to apply force to the finger.

Therefore, although it is a heavy outdoor unit, by using the handle having the above structure, it is easy to carry and the workability is good.

[0032]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the opening is formed mostly on the side plate of the cabinet which is bent in an R shape in a plan view, and the remaining part is either the front plate or the rear plate. The handle has a large width and a large depth, and since it is a handle that is gradually inclined upward, it does not interfere with other parts and it is easy to insert and remove fingers. It is possible to have a sufficient margin, the hands and fingers are spread over a large area, and it is easy to put force, which makes it easy to carry and improves workability.
