JPS5810Y2 - Air conditioner assembly structure - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement in the assembly structure of an air conditioner that performs cooling or heating or both by flowing cold water or hot water into a heat exchanger, and particularly relates to an improvement in the assembly structure of an air conditioner that performs cooling or heating or both by flowing cold water or hot water into a heat exchanger. One of the objectives is to improve assembly workability and serviceability by attaching each component from the front.

Conventionally, this type of air conditioner called a fan coil unit generally has a space for routing piping at the side end of the unit body, and a heat exchanger and the like are attached from any direction.

However, such a configuration inevitably requires a large installation area to accommodate the piping space, and once installed, when servicing the various components, the outer box etc. must be removed or the piping connected to the main body must be removed. There was the hassle of having to carry out maintenance and inspection work on each component after that.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional air conditioner assembly structure.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In the figure, 1 is a fan coil unit main body, which roughly consists of a leg bar 2, a board 4 attached to the leg bar 2 via a heat insulating material 3, left and right side plates 5 attached to the leg bar 2, 6, and a top plate 7 that connects the upper ends of the left and right side plates 5 and 6.
and a back plate 8 that closes the rear space of the left and right side plates 5 and 6, forming a box shape with an open front.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a pair of left and right support rails that are formed facing each other inside the left and right side plates 5 and 6, and are provided in two stages, upper and lower, and extend in the front-rear direction.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a fan unit supported by a support rail 9 via a heat insulating rubber 10a which also serves as vibration isolation, and the side plate 5,
A fixing metal fitting 11 screwed onto 6 from the front prevents its removal.

This fan unit 10 is constructed so that its air blowing direction can be reversed by taking it out and turning it upside down and supporting it on the upper or lower rail 9.

Reference numeral 12 denotes an electrical panel located below the fan unit 10 and screwed onto the left and right side plates 5 and 6 from the front;
The fan unit 10 is installed at a position where it will not cause any trouble in removing or inserting the fan unit 10.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an operation section attached to the electrical equipment panel 12, which controls the operation and energization of various electrical components such as the fan unit 10.

Reference numeral 14 denotes a central bone frame 15 provided on the left and right side plates 5 and 6.
A water tray is secured from the front, and the water collected there is drained to the substrate 4 side via a drain hose (not shown).

Here, both ends of the electrical equipment panel 12 are screwed onto the central frame 15 from the front.

16 is a heat exchanger screwed onto the frame 15 from the same direction as the water tray 14, and is located above the water tray 14;
Cold or hot water flows inside it.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a socket fitting that is fixed to the water tray 14 from the front, and is an inlet of the heat exchanger 16.

Each outlet socket (not shown) is fixed.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a lower grille fitted into a decorative plate 19, which will be described later, from the front below the left and right side plates 5 and 6, and is removably attached.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a decorative front panel interposed between the upper grill 21 and the lower grill 18, and is fixed to the left and right side plates from the front.

A decorative plate disposed below the lower grille 18 is screwed from the front below the left and right side plates 5 and 6.

Therefore, the left and right side plates 5 and 6 are the main components.

Front panel 20, 19. Fan unit 10. Operation unit 1
2゜The heat exchanger 16, etc. are all screwed together, so they are strong against impact, and all the screwing and reversing of the fan unit (10) can be done from the front, making assembly work easier. Maintenance and inspection work can be done from the front, making work extremely easy.

As is clear from the above embodiments, the air conditioner assembly structure of the present invention has a box-shaped air conditioner main body with an open front, a blower mounting portion extending in the front and rear directions on both side walls, and a heat exchanger extending in the vertical direction. An exchanger mounting part is provided, and a unitized blower is screwed from the front to the blower mounting part, and a heat exchanger is screwed to the heat exchanger mounting part from the front, and the blower mounting part or the heat exchanger A control box equipped with electrical components, etc. that controls the operation of the electric equipment such as the blower is screwed from the front to the mounting part or both, and the main internal components are a heat exchanger,
The blower and control box are all screwed together from the front, making assembly and disassembly easier, improving workability, and having each main component screwed together increases the strength against impact, etc. You can also get enough
Furthermore, since there is no need for space for routing piping within the main body, it has various advantages such as miniaturization.
