Abstract

PURPOSE: To facilitate the lifting operation of an outdoor unit by using a grip by extending a fingertip-receiving space to the inner surface part of the side plate of a casing above a finger holder. CONSTITUTION: When a worker conveys an outdoor unit by hands 60, a fingertip is inserted from the finger insertion port 5 of a grip 4 into a fingertip-receiving space 6, the finger 63 is latched to a finger holder 7, and lifted upward. In this case, the space 6 is extended upward from the rear position of the holder 7 as it is. Since there is no member for disturbing the invasion of the fingertip at the upper side of the holder 7, the finger 63 can be so deeply inserted into the space that the intermediate position between the first joint 63a and the second joint 63b of the finger 63 corresponds to the holder 7, and the third joint 63c of the finger 63 is extended as much as possible so that the fingertip can be disposed along the side plate 2 of the casing 1. Further, the palm 62 is disposed along the outer surface of the plate 2, and the wrist 61 is not almost necessarily returned. Thus, the outdoor unit can be easily lifted by using the grip 4.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle attached to a casing of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner and a manufacturing method thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 8 shows an outer shape of an outdoor unit Z of a general air conditioner. In this type of outdoor unit Z, a side plate 2 of a casing 1 thereof is usually formed. Opening 3
A handle 50 for transportation is attached to the handle 50 (see FIGS. 9 and 10). The handle 50 is integrally formed by molding using synthetic resin as a material. However, the handle 50 requires a finger insertion opening 51 and a fingertip receiving space 52 because of its function.
The upper edge portion of the finger insertion opening 51 becomes the finger hook portion 53. Further, in order to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the casing 1 through the opening 3, the handle 50 is normally in the shape of a container.

By the way, as shown in FIG. 9, the handle 50 has a functional requirement that a finger 63 be inserted from the finger insertion opening 51 and the finger 63 be hung on the finger insertion portion 53. A fingertip receiving space 52 for receiving the fingertip is required above, but such a conventionally known handle 50 is required.
Then, the peripheral wall portion 54 forming the fingertip receiving space 52 is
In consideration of easiness of die cutting at the time of molding (usually a rolling die is used), a bottom wall surface 5 that is recessed in a curved rising state into the casing 1 continuously to the lower edge portion of the finger insertion portion 51.
4a, the upper end of the bottom wall surface 54a, and the upper wall surface 54b extending upward into the casing 1 so as to connect the finger hook portion 53 to each other have an inverted V-shaped cross section. Therefore, in the conventional outdoor unit using the handle 50 having such a shape, the inner surface of the side plate 2 of the casing 1 and the upper wall surface 54b of the handle 50 are opened.

As a result, the following disadvantages occur. That is, first of all, in order to apply sufficient force to the fingertip, it is necessary to make a large hanging allowance of the finger 63 with respect to the finger hanging portion 53. In this case, the upper wall surface 54b is an inclined wall. This limits the width of the fingertip approaching above. Therefore, the bottom wall surface 54a must be largely moved into the casing 1 (width of entry H) to secure a margin for the fingertips. However, if the width of entry is increased, the effective space in the casing 1 is reduced and the inside of the aircraft is reduced. It becomes an obstacle in the layout of the equipment to be placed. As a means for coping with such a problem, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, it is conceivable to adopt a shape in which the width (H) of entry of the bottom wall surface 54a into the casing 1 is made small. In this case, since the amount of hanging of the finger 63 on the finger hanging portion 53 is greatly reduced, it is not possible to apply sufficient force to the fingertip as described above, and therefore, the structure of the handle 50 is unsuitable.

Secondly, when the outdoor unit Z is lifted by grasping the handle 50 with the hand 60, the wrist 61 and the palm portion 62 are as linear as possible in terms of easiness of applying force to the fingertip. Is desirable. However, in the conventionally known handle 50, since the upper wall surface 54b of the handle 50 is inclined at the upper position of the finger hook portion 53 as described above, the presence of the upper wall surface 54b prevents the side wall 2 of the casing 1 from being affected. If the angle of approach of the fingertip becomes large and the wrist 61 part is bent (wrist is turned over) and this is not applied to the side plate 2, it will not be stable. As a result, the lifting work is forced to be performed in an unreasonable posture.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the first object thereof is to reduce the width of entry of the handle into the casing of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. However, it is to secure an effective space in the casing. A second object of the present invention is to deepen the angle of engagement of the fingertip with respect to the handle to facilitate the lifting work of the outdoor unit. And yet another object of the present invention is to provide an advantageous manufacturing method for such a handle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A handle for an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention and a method for manufacturing the same will be specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First Embodiment FIG. 1 shows a state in which a handle 4 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to an opening 3 formed in a side plate 2 of a casing 1 of an outdoor unit Z, and FIG. Shows the individual state of each.

The handle 4 is integrally molded of a synthetic resin material by using a molding die described later, and has a fixing portion 4A and a main body portion 4B described later.

The fixing portion 4A is fitted and fixed in a rectangular opening 11 formed in the side plate 2, has a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, and has a rectangular frame shape so as to follow the shape of the opening 11. It is composed of a peripheral frame 12 that is bent and formed. The inner space of the peripheral frame 12 is used as a finger insertion portion 5 that opens in a rectangular shape, and the upper edge of the finger insertion opening 5 extends upward from the edge through the inside of the finger insertion opening 5. Is provided with a finger hook 7 having a substantially U-shaped cross section that extends by a predetermined dimension. Further, at a position immediately after the lower edge of the peripheral frame 12, a protrusion-like hooking claw 13 is formed between the peripheral frame 12 and the peripheral frame 12 at an interval corresponding to the thickness dimension of the side plate 2. ing. The hook 13 is formed on the side of the peripheral wall 8 of the main body 4B described later.

The main body portion 4B is formed on the rear side of the fixing portion 4A so as to be continuous with the fixing portion 4A, and forms the fingertip receiving space 6 that is continuous with the finger insertion opening 5 and has a peripheral wall portion 8 described below. And a pair of left and right side wall portions 9, 9. The peripheral wall portion 8 is continuously curved to the lower edge portion of the finger insertion opening 5 and rises rearward thereof, and then linearly rises so as to be substantially parallel to the plane direction of the finger insertion opening 5, It is a wall surface that curves upward toward the front surface side of the finger insertion opening 5 again at a position above the hanging portion 7 by a predetermined dimension. The upper end 8a of the peripheral wall portion 8 is sufficiently spaced from the second joint 63b of the finger 63 to the fingertip between the finger hanging portion 7 and the upper end 8a in the vertical direction (that is, the plane direction of the finger insertion opening 5). It is set at a position having a space that can be received, and in the front-back direction (that is, the axial direction of the finger insertion opening 5), a dimension corresponding to the thickness dimension of the side plate 2 from the rear end of the peripheral frame 12. It is set in the retracted position.

The side wall portions 9 and 9 respectively extend to the rear side of the side edges of the finger insertion opening 5 and extend rearward thereof to close both side portions of the peripheral wall portion 8 and the peripheral wall portion 8. In addition, a fingertip receiving space 6 which extends continuously in the vertical direction at the rear position of the finger insertion opening 5 is formed, and the upper end 8 of the peripheral wall portion 8 is formed.
On the a side, the rectangular opening 11 is formed together with the upper end 8a.
To form. Therefore, the fingertip receiving space 6 is formed in an open passage shape with the lower end thereof being the finger insertion opening 5 and the upper end thereof being the opening 11.

The handle 4 thus constructed is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, the peripheral frame 12 is elastically fitted into the opening 3 from the inner surface side of the side plate 2 to be attached. When the handle 4 is attached to the side plate 2, the main body portion 4B forming the fingertip receiving space 6 enters the casing 1 and the opening 11 is abutted against the inner surface of the side plate 2. There is. Also, this opening 11
In order to prevent rainwater and the like from entering the casing 1 from a portion, a sealing material 40 is attached to the opening 11 portion.

When the operator conveys the outdoor unit Z by the hand 60, he / she inserts his / her fingertip into the fingertip receiving space 6 from the finger insertion opening 5 of the handle 4 and hooks the finger 63 on the fingerholding portion 7. Then pull it up. In this case, the fingertip receiving space 6 extends upward from the rear position of the fingerholding portion 7 as it is, and a member for preventing the intrusion of the fingertip on the upper side of the fingerholding portion 7 (for example, the conventional handle shown in FIG. 9). Since the upper wall surface 54b) at 50 does not exist, the finger 63 is moved to the first indirect 6
3a and the second indirect 63b can be inserted deeply into the fingertip receiving space 6 so that the intermediate position corresponds to the finger hook portion 7, and the third indirect 63c of the finger 63 is extended as much as possible so that the fingertip portion is the side plate. It can be adjusted to 2. Further, the palm portion 62 is in a state substantially along the outer surface of the side plate 2 since the finger 63 is deeply inserted into the fingertip receiving space 6, and the wrist 61 need not be almost returned. Therefore, the worker can put the finger 63 deeply and sufficiently on the finger-holding portion 7 and can apply the force without almost returning the wrist 61, so that the operator can apply the force to the fingertip in a more stable working state. The outdoor unit Z can be carried in the closed state, and the fatigue of the operator can be reduced as much as possible.

Further, even if the finger 63 is deeply inserted into the fingertip receiving space 6, the fingertip can be directed upward rather than inward of the casing 1. Therefore, the fingertip receiving space 6 extends in the vertical direction of the fingertip. It is sufficient to have a depth dimension (front-back dimension) that allows movement. Therefore, for example, as in the conventional handle 50 shown in FIG.
Compared with the case where it is necessary to receive the fingertip in a slanting inclined shape, the width H of the main body portion 4B entering the casing 1 can be reduced. As a result, the narrowing of the space in the casing 1 due to the mounting of the handle 4 is suppressed as much as possible, and the degree of freedom in the layout design of the in-machine equipment is increased accordingly.

Next, an example of a method of manufacturing the handle 4 by molding will be described with reference to FIG. At the time of molding the handle 4, a finger hook 7 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is provided at an intermediate position between the finger insertion opening 5 and the opening 11 in the U-shaped opening direction. Since it is arranged in the direction orthogonal to the opening direction of the, the die cutting of the finger hook 7 portion becomes a problem, but in this embodiment, it is dealt with by combining two dies having different pulling directions. are doing.

That is, the molding die 20 includes the body portion 4B of the handle 4.
A pair of left and right first mold pieces 21 and second
A mold piece 22, a third mold piece 23 and a fourth mold piece 24 that form the fingertip receiving space 6 on the opening 11 side, and a fifth mold piece 2 that forms the fingertip receiving space 6 on the finger insertion port 5 side.
5 and the sixth mold piece 26, which is a total of 6 mold pieces. Further, the fourth mold piece 24 forms an inner portion of the finger hook portion 7, and the sixth mold piece 26 forms an outer portion of the finger hook portion 7.

The die-cutting directions of the die pieces 21 to 26 are set in the directions indicated by arrows a to f in FIG. That is, the first mold piece 21 and the second mold piece 22 are respectively arranged in the left-right direction (arrow a direction and arrow b
Direction), the third mold piece 23 moves upward (direction of arrow c),
The fourth die piece 24 is pulled out in the left-right direction and then upward (arrow d), the fifth die piece 25 is pulled up (in the direction of arrow f), and the sixth die piece 26 is temporarily pulled out in the left-right direction and then upward (arrow d). Extracted by arrows e).

Therefore, after the grip 4 is completely formed, first of all,
After die-cutting the die piece 21 and the second die piece 22 in the left-right direction, respectively, and then die-cutting the third die piece 23 in the upper direction, the fourth die piece 24 is first die-cut in the right direction and further upward. Die-cut. Further, after the fifth die piece 25 is die-cut upward, the sixth die piece 26 is first die-cut leftward and then die-upper. With this, all the die cutting is completed, and the handle 4 is obtained.

Second Embodiment FIGS. 4 and 5 show a handle 4 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
It is shown. The handle 4 of this embodiment has the same basic structure as that of the handle 4 of the first embodiment, and is different from the handle 4 of the first embodiment in that the handle 4 of the first embodiment is different. Employs a structure in which the inner part of the fingertip receiving space 6 is opened as an opening 11 and directly abuts against the inner surface of the side plate 2, but in the handle 4 of this embodiment, the opening 11 is formed.
The point is that the front wall portion 10 for closing the portion is integrally formed with the main body portion 4B. The provision of the front wall portion 10 has an advantage that it is not necessary to attach the sealing material 40 as in the case of the handle 4 of the first embodiment, and the attachment work to the side plate 2 is simplified.

However, with such a structure, the handle 4
In the product shape, since the inner part of the fingertip receiving space 6 has a bag shape, it is impossible to integrally mold the product shape as it is from the viewpoint of die cutting. For this reason, in this embodiment, the structure and the forming method of the handle 4 are devised as follows.

That is, in this embodiment, the handle 4 is not integrally molded as it is, but as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the upper and lower parts, that is, the finger hook portion 7 is included. The first handle piece 41 located on the insertion port 5 side and the second handle piece 42 located on the side opposite to the finger insertion port 5 side of the finger hook 7 are divided into two parts, and these two handle pieces 41, 42 is foldably connected at the hinge portion 43 on the side of the peripheral wall portion 8 (corresponding to the connection point in the claims). At the time of molding, as shown in FIG. 6, the first grip piece 41 and the second grip piece 42 are molded at a substantially right angle, and after molding, as shown in FIG. The second handle piece 42 is bent toward the first handle piece 41 side and abutted against each other to obtain the handle 4 as a product in which the fingertip receiving space 6 is continuous.

In this way, the handle 4 is divided into the two parts, the first handle piece 41 and the second handle piece 42, via the hinge portion 43, and each of them is molded in a bent state. By adopting a manufacturing method of abutting against each other, even if a bag-like fingertip receiving space 6 like the handle 4 of this embodiment is provided, it is a conventional general and inexpensive molding die 3
This can be manufactured by using 0, and it is possible to cope with diversification of the shape of the handle 4 and also contribute to cost reduction. It is needless to say that the handle 4 of this embodiment can also obtain the same effect as the handle 4 of the first embodiment.

An example of the structure of the molding die 30 for molding the handle 4 by the manufacturing method will be described with reference to FIG. The molding die 30 includes the first grip piece 4
1, a second mold piece 32 for molding the outer surface side of the first grip piece 42, a second mold piece 32 for molding the outer surface side of the second grip piece 42, and a part of the inner surface of the finger hook 7 and the inner surface of the first grip piece 41. And a fourth mold piece 34 for molding the other part of the inner surface of the second grip piece 42, an outer surface of the finger hook 7 and the first grip piece. 41
A fifth mold piece 35 for molding a part of the inner surface of the
The sixth grip piece 36 is a total of six mold pieces for molding the other part of the first handle piece 41.
The die-cutting directions of the die pieces 31 to 36 are as shown by the arrows, and the die-cutting order of the die pieces 31 to 36 is the same as in the case of the first embodiment. The description is omitted.
