Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate handling and carrying of an outdoor unit and to save packing material by placing an installing leg within a range of the maximum width and depth of a device box. CONSTITUTION:An installing leg 23 having a bottom plate 22 of a size within a range of an R-part 21 is constituted by forming it in a rectangle having a size of the maximum width and depth of a device box 20. That is, the installing leg 23 is set within a range of the maximum width and depth of the device box 20. It means that the size of the maximum width and depth of the device box 20 is sufficient for a packing size and also an installation area of an outdoor unit. By this, the packing volume of the outdoor unit becomes small, and therefore handling, carrying, installation of the outdoor unit becomes easy. In addition, packing material can be saved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of an outdoor unit of a conventional air conditioner is shown in FIG. The inside of the housing 1 of the outdoor unit is partitioned into a left side and a right side by a partition plate 2, and a compressor room 3 is formed on one side and a heat exchanger room 4 is formed on the other side.

A vertical compressor 5, a controller 6, an accumulator 7, a muffler 8 and the like are arranged in the compressor chamber 3.
Inside the heat exchanger chamber 4, an L-shaped heat exchanger 9, a blower 10 and the like are arranged.

The heat exchanger 9 includes an air intake 11 formed on the back surface 1a of the housing 1 and an air intake formed on the left side surface 1b.
12, the blower 10 is located on the front surface 1c of the casing 1.
It is installed so as to face the exhaust port 13 formed in the.

When the blower 10 is rotationally driven by the motor 14, the outside air is sucked into the heat exchanger chamber 4 through the air inlets 11 and 12, and is heated by exchanging heat with the refrigerant in the process of passing through the heat exchanger 9. After being heated or cooled, it is urged by the blower 10 and discharged from the exhaust port 13.

Reference numeral 15 is an installation leg, which is fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 1d of the container casing 1 so as to be parallel to the bottom plate 1d at a predetermined interval, the front end of which protrudes forward from the front face 1c of the container casing 1, and the rear end thereof is a container. It projects rearward from the rear surface 1a of the casing 1.

[0007]

The conventional outdoor unit described above is stored in a packaging box such as a corrugated cardboard and shipped from the factory, and is transported. The depth dimension of the packaging box is that of the installation leg 15. Since it depends on the length, there is a problem that the depth dimension of the package is large. Further, since the depth dimension of the installation area of the outdoor unit is also determined by the length of the installation leg 15, there is a problem that the depth dimension of the installation area becomes large.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the gist of the present invention is to set the installation legs such that the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth dimension of the device casing are within the range. It is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that is installed inside.

It is possible to form rounded portions or sloped portions at least at the four corners of the lower part of the housing, and to install the installation legs within the range of the rounded portions or sloped portions.

The fixed portion of the outdoor unit can be provided within the range of the bottom plate of the device casing.

[0011]

In the present invention, since the outdoor unit has the above configuration, the packing size and the installation area of the outdoor unit are within the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth dimension of the housing.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. A rounded portion (roundness having a large curvature) 21 is formed at the four corners of the housing 20. Then, the bottom plate 22 of the device casing 20 is made thick, and by making it a rectangular shape having the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth dimension of the device casing 20, the installation leg 23 composed of the bottom plate is configured within the radius portion 21. Has been done. Each of the installation legs 23 is provided with a bolt hole 24 through which the installation bolt penetrates. Other configurations are similar to those of the conventional one shown in FIG.

However, since the installation leg 23 is installed within the range of the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth dimension of the casing 20, the packing size and the installation area of the outdoor unit are the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth of the casing 20. Size is enough.

In the above embodiment, the bottom plate 22 is thick, but instead of this, ribs or the like may be formed to improve the rigidity of the bottom plate 22.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
The mounting legs 25a and 25b can be fixed to the bottom surfaces of the left and right ends of the.

Further, as shown in FIG.
The installation legs 26 can be fixed to the lower surfaces of the four corners.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, 4 of the housing 20 is used.
Although the rounded portion 21 is formed in the corner, instead of this, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 4, the four corners of the casing 20 may be cut out to form the slope 27, and the rounded portion 21 or the slope 27 may be formed on the casing 20.
Can be formed only in the lower part of.

Yet another embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a pair of installation legs 28a and 28b are fixed to the lower surface of the bottom plate 22 of the equipment casing 20 so as to be parallel to each other, and the lengths of these installation legs 28a and 28b are the maximum depth dimension of the equipment casing 20. It is within the range. A plurality of fixing holes of the outdoor unit, that is, bolt holes 29 through which the installation bolts penetrate are provided in the bottom plate 22 and the installation legs 28a and 28b so as to be aligned with each other.

Then, the opening / closing lid of the maintenance / inspection hole or the working hole of the equipment casing 20 is opened, hands are put into the equipment casing 20 through these holes, and the installation bolt is passed through the bolt hole 29 and the nut is attached to the tip thereof. The outdoor unit is fixed by screwing and fastening.

As shown in FIG. 6, if the thickness of the bottom plate 22 is increased or ribs or the like are formed, the installation legs are omitted and the outdoor unit is installed by the installation bolts penetrating the bolt holes 29 provided in the bottom plate 22. Can also be fastened and fixed.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the mounting legs 28a,
If a slit 31 for inserting the installation bolt 30 is provided at the rear end of 28b, the installation bolt 30 is inserted into the slit 31 by pushing the installation legs 28a, 28b rearward, and then the front bolt hole. The installation bolt 32 may be passed through only 29 and the nut 33 may be screwed and fastened to the tip thereof. In this way, the outdoor unit can be easily installed even if there is the wall 34 or the like behind the housing 20.

[0022]

According to the present invention, since the installation legs are installed within the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth dimension of the casing, the packing size and the installation area of the outdoor unit are the maximum width dimension and the maximum depth dimension of the casing. Within the range of. As a result, the packing volume of the outdoor unit is reduced, the handling and transportation of the outdoor unit is facilitated, and the packing material can be saved. Therefore, the cost can be reduced and the waste of the material can be reduced.
Moreover, since the installation area of the outdoor unit is small, it is possible to easily install the outdoor unit.
