Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an outdoor unit that is a component of a separate air conditioner, and more particularly to an outdoor unit that is installed by being lowered into a balcony.

Generally, a separate air conditioner is an outdoor unit,
It consists of an indoor unit and a connecting element that connects the outdoor unit and the indoor unit. Conventionally, the outdoor unit is often installed on the ground. However, when the outdoor unit is installed on the ground, it is easy for dirt and dust to get inside the outdoor unit, and the mixed dirt and dust adhere to the heat exchanger that makes up the outdoor unit, causing heat exchange. The drawback was that it significantly deteriorated the heat exchange characteristics of the vessel.

As a solution to the above drawbacks, there is a method of installing the outdoor unit on the floor of the balcony, but this method has the drawback of requiring installation space and reducing the usable space of the balcony.

Therefore, although it is better to install the outdoor unit on a balcony than to install it on the ground, it is necessary to consider the location on the balcony.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and its object is to provide an outdoor unit that can be installed by dropping it from above into an installation opening provided in the floor of a balcony.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor unit that allows effective use of a balcony.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide an outdoor unit that has a long life, is electrically safe, and is efficient.

Another object of the invention is to provide an outdoor unit that is easy to install.

The present invention is an outdoor unit that is installed by being dropped from above into a mounting opening provided in the floor surface of a balcony, wherein the balcony part that comes into contact with the opening edge of the mounting opening has at least one opposing part of the outer peripheral part. a substantially U-shaped heat exchanger provided at the bottom of the planar material, a compressor disposed in the opening of the heat exchanger, and a compressor,
The heat exchanger is characterized by including a blower arranged in a space surrounded by the heat exchanger and the flat material so as to blow air in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the wind passing through the heat exchanger.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective view shows a balcony 1 on which an outdoor unit according to the present invention is installed, and a floor surface 2 of the balcony 1 is provided with a mounting opening 3 for mounting the outdoor unit, which will be described later. ing.

Referring to FIG. 2, the external appearance of one embodiment of the outdoor unit 4 according to the present invention is shown in a perspective view.
Extending are mutually opposing flange surfaces 5a, 5a' and 5b, 5b' which abut against the opening edges of FIG. A substantially U-shaped heat exchanger 6 is provided at the bottom of the flat member 5. The air around outdoor unit 4 is indicated by arrow A.
The air is sucked into the outdoor unit 4 from around the heat exchanger 6 as shown in FIG. Also, the flange surface 5
A, 5a' are provided with handles 7, so that the outdoor unit 4 can be easily installed in a mounting opening 3 provided in the floor surface 2 of the balcony 1.

FIG. 3 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the outdoor unit 4 shown in FIG. Outdoor unit 4 shown in Figure 3
FIG. 3 is a perspective plan view of the inside of the flat member 5 seen through.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a horizontal compressor 8 is disposed at the opening of the U-shaped heat exchanger 6, and a space surrounded by the compressor 8, the heat exchanger 6, and the flat material 5. A blower 9 is placed inside. By this blower 9, air around the outdoor unit 4 is sucked from around the heat exchanger 6 through the heat exchanger 6 as shown by arrow A in FIG.
The air sucked into the outdoor unit 4 through the opening is discharged in a direction perpendicular to the direction of arrow A (FIG. 4), as indicated by arrow B in FIG. 3. Moreover, the flange surface 5a,
5a', 5b and 5b' and the opening edge of the attachment opening 7 are brought into contact with each other with a cushion material 10 interposed therebetween.

In the outdoor unit 4 having such a structure, since the upper surface is sealed by the flat material 5, it is possible to almost eliminate the protrusion of the balcony 1 above the floor surface 2, and the balcony can be installed without the need for a special cover. space can be used effectively, and outdoor units 4
Since the interior of the outdoor unit 4 is prevented from being exposed to wind and rain, the life of the outdoor unit 4 is long and electrical safety is excellent. Furthermore, since the air circuit system is a wind circuit system in which air is sucked in from three sides and discharged downward, there is little ventilation resistance and almost no air passes through anything other than the heat exchanger 6, so the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 6 is good.

Furthermore, if the horizontal compressor 8 is used as the compressor as in this embodiment, the outdoor unit 4 can be made into a thin unit, so the downward protrusion of the veranda 1 can be suppressed as much as possible, and the appearance of the building can be improved. When installing the outdoor unit 4 without damage, it is only necessary to move the outdoor unit 4 to the upper part of the mounting opening 3 using the handle 7 and drop it in. Since it is fixed by frictional force, no other fixing jig is required for fixing. Furthermore, the flange surfaces 5a, 5a',
5b and 5b' are in contact with the opening edge of the mounting opening 3, it is possible to prevent the vibration of the unit 4 from being transmitted to the building, and conversely, the rainwater accumulated on the floor surface 2 of the balcony 1 can be drained from the inside of the unit 4. It can also prevent leakage.

In the above embodiment, the flange surfaces of the flat member 5 extend from four sides of the outer periphery, but the flange surfaces extend from one opposing both sides of the outer periphery (for example, the flange surfaces 5a, 5a') It goes without saying that it can be anything.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention,
This has the effect of providing an outdoor unit that can be dropped into a balcony, which can effectively utilize balcony space, has a long life, excellent electrical safety, is efficient, and can be easily installed.
