DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, specific embodiments of an outdoor unit installation apparatus of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view showing a state in which the outdoor unit 1 is installed on the pedestal body 10 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a portion A of FIG. 1 (c). 3 is a perspective view of the pedestal body 10, and the pedestal body 10 is formed larger than the planar size of the outdoor unit 1. The pedestal body 10 is made of plastic and has a structural proof strength that is not damaged even when the outdoor unit 1 is placed. In addition, the pedestal body 10 has a flat stone-like shape so that it does not spoil the aesthetic appearance even if the outdoor unit 1 is installed, and matches the Japanese-style house, and the color is like a natural stone stone. It is colored.

In order to reduce the weight of the pedestal body 10 in consideration of the cases of transportation and installation, a hollow portion 11 having a hollow inside is formed. An opening 12 is formed in the central portion of the upper surface of the pedestal body 10, and a flat lid 13 is slidably mounted on the opening 12 to close the opening 12. Grooves 14 are formed on both sides of the end of the opening 12 and the lid 13 is opened by inserting the projections 15 integrally formed on the both sides of the lid 13 into the grooves 14 on both sides. The pedestal body 10 can be fitted so as to close the pedestal 12. In addition, inclined surfaces 16 and 17 are provided on both end surfaces of the opening 12 and both end surfaces of the lid 13, respectively.
Is formed, and the two inclined surfaces 16 and 17 are in surface contact with each other to prevent the lid 13 from coming off after closing the lid 13 in the opening 12, and prevent foreign matter from entering.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of substantially L-shaped fixing fittings (mounting parts) 4 are provided on both ends of both sides of the lower surface of the outdoor unit 1.
Is installed vertically, and the pedestal body 1
The outdoor unit 1 is installed on the pedestal body 10 by screwing a bolt 18 to 0. Hole 1 corresponding to the above bolt 18
9 are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the pedestal body 10. The positions and pitches of the holes 19 are predetermined in relation to the outdoor unit 1, and the holes 19 are formed with the same pitch dimension as the arrangement pitch of the bolts 18. Further, a nut (not shown) that is screwed into the bolt 18 is inserted into the hole 9. Needless to say, the pitch of the holes 19 is perforated according to each model.

Next, the case of installation work of this device will be described. When the pedestal body 10 is transported or installed, since the hollow portion 11 in the pedestal body 10 is empty, the pedestal body 10
Is light in weight and can be easily transported and aligned. Then, the outdoor unit 1 is placed on the pedestal body 10, the bolt 18 is inserted into the hole 19 through the fixing bracket 4, and screwed with the nut.
The outdoor unit 1 is installed and fixed to the pedestal body 10. Next, water is poured into the hollow portion 11 of the pedestal body 10 so that the pedestal body 10 itself has an appropriate weight and the lid 13 is attached. Accordingly, even if a child hits the pedestal body 10 or strong wind blows, the position of the pedestal body 10 does not shift. In the above description, water that does not need to be carried to the site (tap water at home at the installation site) has been used as the material to be placed in the hollow portion 11 inside the pedestal body 10, but not limited to water, sand,
Soil, pebbles, etc. may be put in the pedestal body 10 individually or as a mixture. Further, in these cases, by including a waste material such as a concrete piece generated by the installation of the outdoor unit 1, it also assists in processing the waste material.

Also, when the outdoor unit 1 is placed on the pedestal body 10 and is aligned with the hole 19, two blocks are integrated instead of two pairs of blocks as in the conventional case. Since it is the pedestal body 10 and the position of the hole 19 for fixing the bolt 18 is also formed in advance with the same pitch dimension as the position of the bolt 18, alignment with the pedestal body 10 becomes easy.

The specific size of the pedestal body 10 is 90 × 50 × 7 (cm) in length, width and height of the outer diameter.
The inner diameter, that is, the size of the hollow portion 11 is 85 × 45 × 6 (c
m). Therefore, the volume of the hollow portion 11 of the pedestal body 10 is 22950 cm ³ , and when water is added, the weight of the internal water alone is about 23 kg, which is a sufficient weight. Further, since the pedestal body 10 is made of plastic, it can be made heavy by adding water etc. while maintaining the workability and design of the plastic, and the installation position in the conventional plastic block can be increased. It is possible to eliminate the deviation. Even when water is put inside the pedestal body 10, the lid 13 can be opened and closed easily even when the amount of water evaporates and the amount of water is reduced.
