Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional outdoor unit is shown in FIG. An air inlet 3 is formed over the entire surface of a back surface 2a of a sheet metal device housing 2 of the outdoor unit 1, and an exhaust port 4 is formed on the front surface 2b. The air intake 3 is provided with a fingered 5, and the exhaust port 4 is also provided with a fingered 6. Then, handles 9 are embedded and fixed at predetermined positions on the outer surfaces of the front surface 2b, the left side surface 2c, and the right side surface 2d of the housing 2.

A fin-and-tube heat exchanger 7, a blower 8 and a compressor (not shown), an accumulator, a muffler, a throttle mechanism, a control box, etc. are built in the case 2.

The fin-and-tube type heat exchanger 7 includes a large number of fins 7a extending vertically with a small gap in the width direction.
The fin-and-tube heat exchanger 7 is provided with a plurality of tubes 7b that penetrate the plurality of fins 7a and are fixed to the fins 7a and horizontally extend at predetermined intervals. It is installed in. The blower 7 is arranged so as to face the exhaust port 4, and is rotationally driven by the motor M.

[0005]

When carrying the outdoor unit 1 of the related art, the handle 9 can be lifted by hand, but at this time, since a large load is applied to the handle 9,
This is the sheet metal part of the device casing 2, that is, the front surface 2b, the left and right side surfaces 2c,
It can be provided on 2d but not on fingered 5. Therefore, when carrying the outdoor unit 1, there is a problem that the balance is poor.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its gist is to provide an air intake formed on at least one side wall of a metal plate casing. A fingerd is provided at the inlet, and a fin-and-tube heat exchanger is arranged inside the device casing so as to face the air inlet, and a handle is fixed at a predetermined position on the outer surface of the other side wall of the device casing. In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the engagement between the fins of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger, which is inserted from the outside of the device casing through the gaps of the fingered parts, and locked to the plurality of tubes. An outdoor unit carrying handle for an air conditioner, comprising a stop portion and a grip portion for inserting a hand.

[0007]

According to the present invention, when the outdoor unit is lifted, the engaging portion of the carrying handle is inserted from the outside of the casing into the fin of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger through a fingered gap at an appropriate position. , Lock this on multiple tubes. Then, the hand is inserted into the grip portion of the handle and the hand fixed to the other side wall of the container casing is raised to lift the outdoor unit.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Ten
Is an outdoor unit carrying handle made of metal or hard resin, and is provided with three locking portions 11 and a grip portion 12. Locking part 11
Are protruded forward from the grip portion 12 so as to be parallel to each other at a predetermined interval on the left and right sides, and two grooves 13 that open upward at a predetermined interval L are formed at the tips thereof. ing.

The plate thickness of each locking part 11 is smaller than the gap between the fins 7a of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger 7, and the left and right spaces between the locking parts 11 are separated by a plurality of fins 7a. The interlocking portion 11 can be inserted into the space between the fins 7a. The vertical distance L is equal to the vertical distance between the tubes 7b of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger 7.

The grip portion 12 has an insertion hole 14 that opens obliquely rearward and downward.
The insertion hole 14 has a size such that at least four fingers other than the thumb of a human hand can be inserted.

Therefore, when the outdoor unit 1 is lifted up, the locking portion 11 of the carrying handle 10 is passed from the outside of the container casing 2 through the gap of the fingered 5 at an appropriate position to the fin and tube heat exchanger 7. Insert between the fins 7a, 6 grooves
Fit tube 7b in 13. Then, insert the other four fingers excluding the thumb of one hand 20 into the insertion hole 14 of the grip portion 12, and hang the other hand on the handle 9 provided on the front surface 2b of the device casing 2. Lift the outdoor unit 1.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the carrying handle can be easily and quickly attached to a free position of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger. Thus, it is possible to lift the outdoor unit in a well-balanced manner by using the carrying handle and the handle fixed to the other side wall of the device casing.
