Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

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

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art An example of an outdoor unit of a conventional separation type air conditioner is shown in FIG. The inside of the casing 1 of the outdoor unit 100 is partitioned into left and right sides by a partition plate 2, and a machine room 3 is formed on one side and a heat exchange chamber 4 is formed on the other side.

Inside the heat exchange chamber 4, a heat exchanger 9, a blower 10 and a motor 14 are formed into an L shape by bending one end thereof.
Etc. are provided. The L-shaped heat exchanger 9 is opposed to an air intake 11 formed on the back surface 1a of the housing 1 and an air intake 12 formed on the left side surface 1b. Further, the blower 10 is arranged so as to face the air outlet 13 formed in the front panel 1c of the casing 1.

In the machine chamber 3, other control boxes (not shown) for the compressor 5, an accumulator, a discharge muffler, a four-way switching valve, a receiver, an expansion valve and the like are arranged.

When the blower 10 is rotationally driven by the motor 14, the outside air is drawn into the heat exchange chamber 4 through the air intakes 11 and 12, and heat is exchanged with the refrigerant in the process of passing through the heat exchanger 9 to raise the temperature. Alternatively, after the temperature is lowered, it is urged by the blower 10 and is discharged to the outside from the air outlet 13.

Handles 15 and 16 used for carrying the outdoor unit 100 are attached to the left side surface 1b and the right side surface 1e of the housing 1 at substantially the same level. In addition, 1d is a case 1
Is the bottom plate of.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned conventional outdoor unit, since the handle 15 is attached to the left side surface 1b of the device casing 1 and projects into the device casing 1, the inner end of the handle 15 and the heat In order to avoid interference with the exchanger 9, there is a problem that the width of the container casing 1 in the left-right direction must be increased.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been invented to solve the above-mentioned problems, and its gist is to make a back surface and at least one side surface thereof face each other inside a container casing. In an outdoor unit of an air conditioner in which a heat exchanger having at least one end curved is disposed, a handle having a concave recess inside the device casing, the recess facing the curved part of the heat exchanger. Then, the handle for the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is characterized in that the opening of the recess is attached so as to extend from the back surface of the device casing to the side surface thereof.

A non-slip projection may be provided on the lower surface of the top plate of the recess.

[0010]

In the present invention, since the handle has the above-mentioned configuration, the handle projects into the space formed by the housing and the curved portion of the heat exchanger, so that the lateral width of the housing can be shortened.

By providing a non-slip projection on the lower surface of the top plate of the recess, the fingers inserted into the recess do not slip on the projection when carrying the outdoor unit.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The handle 30 has a concave triangular recess 31 in the housing 1, and is attached to the corners of the back surface 1a and the left side surface 1b of the housing 1. The recess 31 is located in a triangular space S formed by the container casing 1 and the curved portion of the heat exchanger 9, and the opening 32 of the recess 31 is in the container casing 1.
Open across the back surface 1a and the left side surface 1b.

On the lower surface of the top plate 33 of the recess 31, a projection 34 protruding downward is provided along the left side surface 1b of the housing 1. Other configurations are similar to those of the conventional one shown in FIG.
Corresponding members are given the same reference numerals.

When carrying the outdoor unit, one finger is inserted into the recess 31 through the opening 32 of the handle 30, and the other finger is inserted into the recess of the handle 16 and lifted. Since the recess 31 of the handle 30 is located in the space S, the housing 1
The width in the left-right direction can be shortened to reduce the size. Further, since the opening 32 is opened across the back surface 1a and the left side surface 1b, it is possible to easily insert a finger into the recess 31.

Since the fingers inserted into the recess 31 through the opening 32 do not catch on the projection and slip, the outdoor unit can be easily carried.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface of the protrusion 34 can be knurled 36.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the protrusion 34 can be formed by a large number of ribs 37.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, protrusions 35 can be formed at the corners of the handle 30.

[0019]

According to the present invention, since the recess of the handle is located in the space formed by the curved portion of the casing and the heat exchanger, the lateral width of the casing can be shortened.

If a projection for preventing slippage is provided on the lower surface of the top plate of the recess, the fingers inserted into the recess do not catch on the projection and slip, so that the outdoor unit can be easily carried.
