Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a structure of an electrical box of an air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, an air conditioner in which a heat exchanger and an electrical box are arranged adjacent to each other in a main body is known. In this type of electrical box, an arm member for holding a sensor cable of a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of air is formed integrally with the electrical box body, and a temperature sensor connected to the sensor cable held by this arm member is held. In this case, a holder formed separately from the arm member is manufactured.

[0003]

The electrical box is generally manufactured at a predetermined factory before being assembled into the air conditioner body, and is generally carried into another factory and assembled at the time of assembling.

Conventionally, when the electrical box is transported, the holder is fixed to the electrical box body with a tape or the like so that the holder is not hung and hindered.

However, if the tape is conveyed after being stopped with a tape or the like, the tape must be peeled off each time at the destination for the next operation, which not only complicates the operation but also requires a long operation time and reduces the operation efficiency. There is a problem.

An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner and an electrical box which can solve the above-mentioned problems with a simple structure.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in an air conditioner in which a heat exchanger and an electric box are arranged adjacent to each other in a main body, the electric box main body holds a sensor cable of a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of air. An arm member is integrally formed, and a holder for holding a temperature sensor connected to a sensor cable held by the arm member is formed separately from the arm member,
The holder has a claw portion that can be engaged with the refrigerant pipe of the heat exchanger, and the arm member has a locking portion that can be engaged with the claw portion of the holder.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided an electric box main body, an arm member formed integrally with the electric box main body and holding a sensor cable of a temperature sensor, and an arm member formed separately from the arm member. In an electrical box having a holder for holding a sensor body of a sensor, a claw portion capable of engaging with a refrigerant pipe of a heat exchanger is formed in the holder, and a claw portion of the holder is engageable with the arm member. It is formed with a locking portion.

In these inventions, the arm member is provided with the locking hole, and the holder for holding the sensor main body connected to the sensor cable is provided with the claw for engaging with the locking hole.
When unloading the electrical box, it is only necessary to engage the claw with this locking hole.When unloading the electrical box, a holder for holding the sensor body is attached to the electrical box body with tape or the like. There is no need to fix it. Further, the trouble of having to peel off the tape each time at the destination for the next operation is eliminated.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a wall-mounted indoor unit (hereinafter referred to as a main body). The main body 1 includes an electrical box 11, a blower (not shown), a heat exchanger 15, and a refrigerant pipe 2.
Various devices such as 9 are stored with almost no gap. The heat exchanger 15 is a fin tube type heat exchanger as shown in FIG. A refrigerant pipe 29 is connected to the heat exchanger 15.
Is led out of the main body 1 and connected to a compressor, a decompression device, an outdoor heat exchanger, etc. of an outdoor unit (not shown). A drain pan 31 made of expanded polystyrene is provided below the heat exchanger 15, and a wind direction changing blade 33 is provided below the drain pan 31.

This embodiment is characterized by the structure of the electrical box 11. As shown in FIG. 2, the heat exchanger 15 and the electrical box 11 are arranged adjacent to each other in the main body 1. Electrical box 1
Reference numeral 1 denotes an electric box main body 101, and an arm member 105 is integrally formed with the electric box main body 101. The arm member 105 has a sensor cable of a temperature sensor for detecting an air temperature on the primary side of the heat exchanger 15. 121 is held via the locking piece 106. The sensor cable 121 is sandwiched by a cable fixing groove 123 of a holder 103 formed separately from the arm member 105, extends to the front side of the primary side of the heat exchanger 15, and has a temperature held at a distal end of the holder 103. It is connected to the sensor body 107 of the sensor.

The holder 103 includes a cable holder 124 having a fixing groove 123 and a sensor holder 125 for holding the sensor body 107 as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C. On the lower surface of the holder 103, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 3, holder legs 111 and 113 are formed, and two claw portions 115 are formed on both holder legs 111 and 113 as shown in FIG.
5, the claw 115 is fitted to the refrigerant pipe of the heat exchanger 15 as shown in FIG.

The electrical box 11 is usually manufactured at a predetermined factory before being assembled into the main body 1, and is generally carried into another factory and installed at the time of assembling.

Conventionally, when the electrical box 11 is transported, the holder is fixed to the electrical box body with a tape or the like so that the holder is not hung and hindered.

However, if the tape is conveyed after being stopped by a tape or the like, the tape must be peeled off each time at the destination for the next operation, which not only complicates the operation but also requires a long operation time and reduces the operation efficiency. .

To solve this problem, a pair of locking holes 109 are formed in the arm member 105 as shown in FIG. 2, and when the electrical box 11 is transported, as shown in FIG. The hook 109 is engaged with the claw 115 of the holder leg 111.

According to this, when the electrical box 11 is transported, the holder 103 can be moved by simply inserting the claw 115 provided on the holder leg 111 into the locking hole 109 provided on the arm member 105. Since it can be fixed to the main body 101, it is not necessary to fix each time with a tape or the like as in the conventional case. It is released from the work, and the work efficiency can be remarkably improved as compared with the conventional one.

Further, since the claw portion 115 uses a member for attaching the holder to the heat exchanger 15, the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost does not increase.

As described above, the present invention has been described based on one embodiment, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the claw 115 can be formed separately on the holder without using a member for attaching the holder to the heat exchanger 15.

[0022]

According to these inventions, in order to prevent the holder for holding the sensor from hanging out of the way when the electrical box is carried out or the like, the holder is attached to the electrical box body with tape or the like. It is not necessary to attach and fix, the holder can be easily fixed to the electrical box main body through the arm member simply by engaging the claw portion provided in the holder with the locking hole provided in the arm member, and it is simple. Further, the trouble of having to peel off the tape each time at the destination for the next operation is eliminated.
