JPS5838334Y2 - Fixed structure of air conditioner outer box and underframe - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a fixing structure between the underframe and the outer box of a window type air conditioner, and in particular, the handle used to lift the underframe removed from the outer box can be used to secure the outer case and the underframe. By fixing these, the fixing structure is simplified and the lower edge of the outer box is prevented from sagging downward.

Conventionally, as a fixing structure between the outer box and the underframe in this type of air conditioner, as shown in Figs. A structure is mainly adopted in which a hole provided in the handle is made into a longitudinally long elongated hole C, which is guided downward to fix the outer box d and the underframe a.

However, with this fixing structure, when the lower part of the outer box bends, the horizontal center of the L-bent part e of the lower part of the outer box goes down, the lower end of the handle comes off the L-bend part e, and the fixing effect is lost. It had drawbacks such as:

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and the fixing structure between the underframe and the outer case is such that the lower edge of the outer case is engaged upwardly with a handle, so that the lower part of the outer case is fixed as shown in Fig. 6. The purpose of this is to eliminate the drawback that the fixing effect of the handle is lost when the handle is bent by the same size as the handle.

Hereinafter, Figures 1 to 1 of the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
This will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the window type air conditioner.
A front grill 4 with an inlet 2 and an outlet 3 is removably provided on the front, and inside,
A compressor, a condenser (all not shown), and an evaporator 5, which constitute a well-known refrigeration cycle, are respectively provided.

6 is an outer box forming the outer shell of the main body 1; 4 is an underframe to which the refrigeration system, indoor/outdoor fan, electrical equipment box, etc. are integrally attached; and the handle 8 for fixing it is shown in FIGS. 3 to 5. engaged as shown.

That is, a rising part 9 is formed upward on the front edge of the bottom surface of the outer box 6, a part of this rising part 9 is bent rearward to form a folded part 10, and on the other hand, a raised part 9 is formed at the lower end of the handle 8. is moved from the horizontal direction with respect to the folded part 10 and is turned to the folded part 1.
A retaining portion 11 that engages is formed on the lower surface of the back side of 0.

At the center of the handle 8 is a screw 1 that is fixed to the underframe 7.
L-shaped elongated holes 13 and 14 are provided to fit the handles 2 and 2, and a handle portion 15 is provided at the upper end of the handle 8 to make it easier to lift the underframe 7.

In the above configuration, when disassembling the outer box 6 and the underframe 7,
First, loosen the screw 12, then move the handle 8 laterally as shown in the arrow hole in FIG. arrow B
Move it upward as shown.

Thereby, the underframe 7 and the outer box 6 can be disassembled.

Conversely, in order to fix the outer box 6 and the underframe 7, the operation opposite to the above may be performed.

With the above structure, the lower part of the outer box 6 will not sag, and therefore the fixing effect of the handle 8 will not be lost.

As is clear from the above embodiments, the fixing structure of the air conditioner outer box and platform scale in the present invention allows the window type air conditioner main body to be connected to the outer box and the platform scale that is removably housed in the outer box. A handle used for lifting the underframe pulled out from the outer box is temporarily attached to the front surface of the underframe so as to be movable vertically and horizontally, and the front edge of the bottom of the outer box is folded upward. Bend it to form a rising part, form a folded part in a part of this rising part, provide an engaging part at the lower end of the handle that engages with the folded part from below on the back side, and tighten the screw. The outer box and the underframe are fixed by screws, and when removing the underframe from the outer box, the screws can be removed and the handles can be moved left and right and up and down, and vice versa. If it is kept in a tightened state, the outer box and the underframe will be firmly fixed, and in this case, the front edge of the bottom of the outer box is engaged with the retaining part at the lower end of the handle, so it will not move downward. It does not sag or become unsightly, and since the handle is used to secure the outer box and underframe, there is no need for special parts for this fixation, reducing assembly work and man-hours. This has advantages such as requiring less amount of water and reducing costs.
