In FIG. 7, 1a is a top plate, 1b is left and right side plates, 1c is a rear plate, 1d is a bottom plate, and these top plate 1a, left and right side plates 1b, and rear plate 1c are integrally formed by blow molding or the like. It is molded in an assembled state. The rear end of the bottom plate 1d separately formed by blow molding or the like is rotatably attached to the lower end of the rear plate to form a box body of the air conditioner.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the above conventional structure is extremely bulky because the top plate 1a, the left and right side plates 1b, and the rear plate 1c are integrally molded in a three-dimensionally assembled state. In other words, even when the products are molded in a molding factory and transported to an air conditioner assembly factory, they are bulky and cannot be transported in large amounts, which results in high transportation costs. In addition, the air conditioner assembly plant was bulky and required a lot of space for storage. This has the drawback of increasing the cost of the box.

The present invention can transport a larger amount than a box molding factory, lower the transportation cost, reduce the storage space of the box in the air conditioner assembly factory, reduce the cost of the box, and as a result, the cost is low. An object of the present invention is to provide a box body of an air conditioner.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an outer surface plate, an inner surface plate, an air layer provided between the both surface plates, and the outer surface plate or the outer surface plate so that the outer surface plate and the inner surface plate can maintain a predetermined distance. A flat plate-like object composed of a protrusion provided so as to project from the inner face plate toward the air layer side is bent in a concave shape to form a top face plate, a front face plate, a rear face plate, and left and right side face plates.

[0009]

[Action]

 The box body of the air conditioner of the present invention has a structure in which the top plate, the front plate, the rear plate, and the left and right side plates are formed into a flat plate shape, and is bent later to form a box body. Since it is not bulky, that is, it can be piled up and stored during transportation, the transportation cost and the storage cost can be reduced, and thus an inexpensive air conditioner can be manufactured. In addition, the top plate, front plate, rear plate, and left and right side plates are developed by the protrusions that protrude from the outer plate or the inner plate toward the air layer so that the outer plate and the inner plate can maintain a predetermined distance. Since the strength is increased while it is being processed, the possibility of deformation during transportation and storage is low. In addition, there is no need to attach a heat insulating material because the air layer has a heat insulating effect.
