Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and in particular, prevents the heat exchanger mounted inside the air conditioner body from being deformed during transportation or unloading. Regarding the air conditioner.

[Conventional technology]

In a conventional air conditioner, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a heat exchanger 2 is tilted and housed inside an air conditioner body 1, and both ends of the heat exchanger 2 are air conditioners. It is fixed to the inner wall of the main body 1, and the lower part is supported by the coil guide 3. The coil guide 3 is for guiding condensed water to the drain pan 4, and is provided between the drain pan 4 and the air conditioner body 1 in an inclined manner. In the figure, reference numeral 5 is a fan for sending air to the heat exchanger 2, and reference numeral 6 is a fan motor for driving the fan 5.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, there is no restraint in the lateral direction (left-right direction in FIG. 4) at the center of the heat exchanger,
If the installed heat exchanger is long, the center part of the heat exchanger may be laterally curved during transportation or loading / unloading. That is, even if the air conditioner is carried upright as much as possible, the center part of the heat exchanger is laterally deformed by the impact applied during transportation or loading and unloading, and the air is deformed as it is. When the harmony machine is operated, not only the heat exchange performance is deteriorated, but also the life of the heat exchanger may be significantly shortened.

An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner capable of preventing lateral deformation of the central portion of the heat exchanger even if a slight impact is applied during transportation or loading / unloading.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a heat exchanger housed in a main body, both ends of the heat exchanger are fixed to an inner wall of the main body, and a lower portion of the heat exchanger is condensed water in a drain pan. In an air conditioner supported by a coil guide that guides the heat exchanger, a fixing member is provided at the center of the lower part of the heat exchanger, the fixing member is made to penetrate a heat transfer pipe of the heat exchanger, and the fixing member is provided with the coil. It is attached to the guide.

[Action]

According to the above configuration, the heat exchanger is fixed at both ends and the center of the lower part, and the number of fixing points is large.Therefore, even if a shock is applied to the heat exchanger during transportation or loading / unloading, Dispersion of stress is achieved, and lateral deformation of the central portion of the heat exchanger can be completely prevented.

〔Example〕

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heat exchanger 2 of the present embodiment has a central portion fixed to the coil guide 3 by a fixing member 7,
The heat transfer pipe 2A penetrates through the fixing member 7. As shown in FIG. 2, the fixing member 7 is formed of a metal fitting having an L-shaped cross section, and one surface thereof has a heat transfer pipe 2A of the heat exchanger 2.
A through hole 7A through which the tapping screw 8 penetrates and a through hole 7B through which the tapping screw 8 shown in FIG. 3 is inserted are formed on the other surface.

To attach the fixing member 7 to the coil guide 3, the coil guide 3 and the fixing member 7 may be fixed with a tapping screw 8 as shown in FIG.

With the above-mentioned configuration, the heat exchanger 2 is arranged in three directions (up and down,
It has been achieved that the degree of freedom with respect to the left, right, front and rear) is eliminated, and the insufficient fixing of the central portion of the heat exchanger 2 can be completed. As a result, even if an impact is applied to the heat exchanger 2 during transportation or unloading, it is possible to completely prevent the central portion of the heat exchanger 2 from being bent in the lateral direction.

The fixing member 7 is not limited to the central portion of the heat exchanger 2,
You may make it provide several in other places. Also,
The fixing member 7 is provided on the upper part of the heat exchanger 2, and the fixing member 7
May be attached to the outer plate 9 (see FIG. 4) above the air conditioner.

Further, the fixing member 7 may be attached to the coil guide 3 not only by the tapping screw 8 but also by welding or an adhesive.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the present invention, the central portion of the heat exchanger can be securely fixed to the coil guide, so that the lateral curvature of the central portion of the heat exchanger during transportation and loading / unloading can be completely eliminated. In addition to the above, it is possible to design the air conditioner without being restricted by the length of the heat exchanger.
