For more information,
The width of the upper end of the groove 9 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the shaft 8a of the rivet 8, and the width of the lower end of the groove 9 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the shaft 8a so that the shaft 8a of the rivet 8 can be pressed. It is formed small. Further, a groove portion 10 having a width larger than the width of the groove portion 9 is formed at an intermediate portion in the depth direction of the groove portion 9, and a split resin washer 12 having a hole portion 11 at the center is provided with the groove portion 10. With the rivet 8 positioned inside
By driving the shaft portion 8a of the rivet 8 into the hole portion 11 of the washer 12 from the upper end of the groove portion 9, the shaft portion 8a of the rivet 8 and the washer 12 are coupled with each other, and the outer width dimension of the washer 12 is expanded, so that the outer surface of the washer 12 has the groove portion 10. It is configured to be pressed against the inner surface of the. The shaft portion 8a of the rivet 8 is provided with the hole portion 11 of the washer 12 in order to have such a function.
It has a slightly larger diameter. Reference numeral 13 denotes an opening formed at the lower end of the groove 9, which is provided to drop rainwater, dust, and the like that have entered the groove 9 to the lower end of the block body 1.

In the above structure, when the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 is placed and installed on the receiving portion 6 of the block main body 1, the pair of left and right block main bodies 1 are preliminarily positioned at the positions where the left and right lower ends of the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 are placed. The left and right lower ends of the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 are placed on the receiving portions 6 of the pair of block bodies 1. At this time, the hole 7a of the bracket 7 at the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 is aligned with the groove 9 and the washer 12 is positioned in the groove 10 having a large width below the bracket 7. In this state, the shaft portion 8a of the rivet 8 is driven into the groove portion 9 and the washer 12 through the hole portion 7a of the bracket 7 from above so that the shaft portion 8a of the rivet 8 and the washer 12 are coupled, and at the same time, the washer 12 The outer width of the washer 12 is expanded, and the outer surface of the washer 12 is pressed against the inner surface of the groove 10 to fix the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 on the receiving portion 6 of the block body 1.

The padding member 14 is placed on each of the receiving portions 6 at both ends of the block body 1 to paddle up.

The raising member 14 has the block main body 1 at the lower end.
The receiving portion 16 is provided with an engaging piece 15 slidably engaged with the groove portions 9 and 10 of the receiving portion 6 of the
And a groove 17 for connection with the bracket 7 at the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 is formed on the upper surface of the receiving portion 16 above the engaging piece 15.

More specifically, the engagement piece 15 is configured to be fitted in the groove portion 10 of the block body 1 so as not to be pulled out upward from the groove portion 9, and the groove portion 17 is provided on the receiving portion 6 of the block body 1. It is configured to be positioned above the groove portions 9 and 10 of the block body 1 in a state in which the raising member 14 is placed on. Further, this groove portion 17 is formed in the middle portion of the groove portion 17 in the depth direction.
A groove 18 having a width larger than that of the washer 12 is formed, and the shaft 8a of the rivet 8 is driven into the hole 11 of the washer 12 from the upper end of the groove 17 with the washer 12 positioned in the groove 18. The shaft portion 8a of the rivet 8 and the washer 12 are coupled with each other, and the outer width dimension of the washer 12 is expanded, so that the outer surface of the washer 12 is pressed against the inner surface of the groove portion 18. This structure is the same as the relationship between the groove portions 9 and 10 of the block body 1 and the washer 12 and the rivet 8, and is similar to the case where the air conditioner outdoor unit 5 is placed on the block body 1 and the bracket 7 at the lower end is fixed. The air conditioner outdoor unit 5 can be placed on the member 14 to fix the bracket 7 at the lower end. The lower end of the groove portion 17 is open,
