Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Field of Application of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly to an air conditioner having a structure suitable for facilitating the fixing and removal of reinforcing plates.

Conventional technology FIG. 1 is a side view of a conventional air conditioner.

In Fig. 1, 1 is a partition plate and 2 is a condenser cover.In order to prevent the partition plate 1 and condenser cover 2 from being deformed due to handling during transportation, a reinforcing plate 3 is attached to the partition plate 1 and the condenser cover 2. It is spot welded.

4 is an evaporator lid, 5 is a condenser lid, 6 is a base, 7 is a fan mode, 8 is an evaporator, and 9 is a condenser.

However, in Fig. 1, when spot welding the reinforcing plate 3, the base 6 must be placed horizontally, making it difficult to support it, and the larger the air conditioner becomes, the more difficult the welding work becomes. It was extremely difficult, requiring three people to do the work.

Another drawback is that after welding the reinforcing plate 3, the reinforcing plate 3 gets in the way when installing the refrigeration cycle, installing the fan mode 7, etc., and removing it to replace these parts, resulting in poor workability. There was also.

Purpose of the invention The present invention has been made in view of the above, and its purpose is to provide an air conditioner in which the reinforcing plate can be easily fixed and removed, and the workability can be improved.

Summary of the invention The feature of this invention is that the reinforcing plate is configured in a U-shape. The Ube of the evaporator lid and the condenser lid are respectively fitted so that they are on the outside, and are held and fixed by the evaporator lid and the condenser lid.

Embodiments of the Invention The present invention will be explained in detail below using embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 to 6.

FIG. 2 is a side view showing an embodiment of the air conditioner of the present invention, and the same parts as in FIG.

In Fig. 2, the reinforcing plate 3 is arranged in a U-shape, and the reinforcing plate 3 is placed from above on the upper surface of the part where the upper ends of the partition plate 1 and the condenser cover 2 are bent outward into an L-shape. The evaporator lid 4 and the condenser lid 5 are fitted so that the U-shaped ribs are on the outside, respectively, and have end faces bent into an L-shape with a notch on which the reinforcing plate 3 is located. It is covered as shown.

The evaporator lid 4 and the condenser lid 5 each have a partition plate 1.
By fixing the reinforcing plate 3 to the L-shaped bent end face of the condenser cover 2 with screws, the reinforcing plate 3 is pressed and fixed.

According to the embodiment described above, there is no need to perform welding work with the base 6 facing sideways, and the number of workers can be reduced.

In addition, since the reinforcing plate 3 can be fitted from above later, parts such as the refrigeration cycle and the fan mode 7 can be attached without being obstructed by the reinforcing plate 3, making the work easier. .

Furthermore, parts can be replaced after removing the reinforcing plate 3, which improves work efficiency.

In addition, when attaching the reinforcing plate 3 by conventional welding, spot peeling occurs when a large force is applied, but in the case of the present invention, there is a suitable gap and the fracture energy is absorbed there, so it is superior in structure and performance. It becomes something.

FIGS. 3 and 4 are structural views showing other embodiments of the reinforcing plate shown in FIG. 2, in which a is a plan view and b is a side view, respectively.

In FIG. 3, a flange 10 a is provided on one side of the reinforcing plate 3 at the portion between the partition plate 1 and the condenser cover 2 in FIG. 2 to support the inner surfaces of the partition plate 1 and the condenser cover 2. In FIG. 4, a flange 10b that supports the inner surface of the partition plate 1 and a flange 10C that supports the inner surface of the condenser cover 2 are provided in place of the flange 10a of FIG.

If the reinforcing plate 3 shown in FIG. 3 or 4 is used, it is possible to improve the strength and prevent the partition plate 1 and condenser cover 2 from falling toward the fan mode 7. The other effects are the same as in the case of FIG. 2.

Furthermore, FIGS. 5 and 6 are detailed views of the installation of a reinforcing plate showing still another embodiment of the present invention, with FIG. 5 being a front view and FIG. 6 being a plan view.

In FIGS. 5 and 6, stepped apertures 1a and 2a corresponding to the thickness of the reinforcing plate 3 are provided at the fitting portions of the reinforcing plate 3 of the partition plate 1 and the condenser cover 2, respectively. Cutouts 4a and 5a are provided in the L-shaped end surface of the condenser lid 5, where the reinforcing plate 3 is located, respectively.

11 attaches the evaporator cover 4 to the partition plate 1, and also attaches the condenser cover 2 to the partition plate 1.
These are screws for attaching the condenser lid 5 to the.

5 and 6 show an example in which the reinforcing plate 3 having the structure shown in FIG. 3 is used.

According to FIGS. 5 and 6, the reinforcing plate 3 can be easily positioned when it is fitted, and since it acts as a stopper in the left and right directions, the reinforcing plate 3 can be securely fixed, which is a new effect. There is.

Effects of the Invention As explained above, according to the present invention, the reinforcing plate can be easily fixed and removed, and workability can be improved.
