<Example of Setting Operation of Bathroom Air Conditioner>

Next, a setting operation of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 11, in the bathroom air conditioner 100 in the initial state (at the time of shipment), the terminal block 3 is fixed to the first position. The protruding portion 45 is a state protruding from the hole 11 a of the body cover 11. The operation member 4 is in contact with the abutting portion 44 a and the rotation restricting portion 14 b of the main body cover 11. The position of the terminal block 3 is fixed by fixing the locking portion 44b of the abutting portion 44a and the screw hole 14c of the rotation restricting portion 14b by the screws 46 of the fixing member. Thereby, the rotational movement operation with the rotating shaft 42 as a fulcrum is restricted.

When the body part 10 of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 in the initial state is installed on the back of the ceiling 104 in the direction shown in FIG. 4, as shown in FIG. 8, the first side surface 10 a and the terminal base 3 face each other. The plane is located at an oblique offset of 45 ° in the horizontal direction. Thereby, the electric wire connection port 30 can be seen from the 1st side surface 10a side. In addition, since the terminal block 3 is attached to the base portion 41a in an up-down direction, the three wire connection ports 30 of the terminal block 3 can be seen from the first side surface 10a. Therefore, the work of connecting the wiring 2 and the electric wire connection port 30 from the inspection port 103 (refer to FIG. 4) side can be performed. Since the electrician can visually check whether the wiring 2 is inserted into the electric wire connection port 30 from the inspection port 103, the electric wire 2 can be surely inserted into the electric wire connection port 30 from the inspection port 103 side. Therefore, it is not necessary to rotate the operation member 4. In addition, since the grip portion 5 faces the side opposite to the inspection port 103, the operation of moving the terminal base 3 cannot be performed. This prevents malfunctions.

In contrast, as shown in FIG. 5, when the second side surface 10 b of the main body portion 10 is provided so as to face the inspection port 103, it is necessary to rotate the terminal block 3 to the second position in order to face the inspection port 103.

When the terminal base 3 is rotated, as shown in FIG. 11, the electrician first removes the screw 46 fixing the position of the terminal base 3 from the locking portion 44 b by operating from the second side surface 10 b side. Next, the electrician holds the grip portion 5 and rotates the position of the terminal base 3 to a position where the protruding portion 45 touches the hole 11 b of the main body cover 11. At this time, the operation member 4 rotates around the convex portion 42 a of the rotation shaft 42 and the operation arm 43 as a radius. During the rotation of the terminal base 3, the protruding portion 45 retracts to the inside of the body cover 11. The terminal base 3 passes through the inside of the main body cover 11 from the first position and rotates to the second position shown in FIG. 12. When the terminal base is rotated to the second position, the abutting portion 44c abuts on the rotation restricting portion 14d, and the position of the locking portion 44d and the screw hole 14e coincide.

After the rotation, the electrician fixes the terminal block 3 to the screw hole 14e of the main body cover 11 with a screw 46 from the second side surface 10b side. The position of the terminal base 3 is fixed by screwing the locking portion 44d and the screw hole 14e of the rotation restricting portion 14d with a screw 46. Thereby, the rotation movement of the terminal base 3 centered on the rotating shaft 42 is restricted.

In this manner, the electrician rotates the operation portion 44 to rotate the terminal block 3 to the second position, and the three wire connection ports 30 of the terminal block 3 can be seen from the inspection port 103.

By providing the rotation restricting portions 14b and 14d on the main body cover 11 and the abutting portions 44a and 44c on the operation member 4, the screws 46 fixing the position of the terminal base 3 are irrespective of whether the terminal base 3 is located at the first position or the second position. Any position Can be operated from the side of the second side surface 10b. Therefore, after the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 is installed in the direction shown in FIG. 5, the screw 46 can be removed and attached and the operation member 4 can be rotated from the inspection port 103.

With this, after the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 is installed in a building, the Yedian Electrician can move the terminal block 3 to a configuration suitable for connection or inspection of the wiring 2 and can be set to a usable state. At this time, since it is not necessary to vertically insert the screwdriver on the top surface 12 to the back surface of the ceiling 104, the above-mentioned operation can be performed efficiently when the ceiling 104 is low, and the operation of changing the position of the terminal base 3 This can be done with one hand. Since the above-mentioned effect can be obtained by including one terminal base 3 and the operating member 4 that moves the terminal base 3, the number of components can be suppressed, and the cost can be reduced.

When the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 is installed in a bathroom, the manufacturer of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 does not need to pay attention to the position of the exhaust pipe 102, and performs the response before the ceiling 104 of the bathtub as shown in FIG. 4 or 5. The operation of changing the position of the inspection port 103 according to the installation direction of the bathroom air conditioner 100. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the work load of the contractor, and it is possible to shorten the work time compared with the structure in which the terminal base 3 is removed from the main body portion 10 and then installed after changing the direction. Furthermore, the division of work responsibilities can be made clear between the manufacturer who installs the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 in a bathroom and the electrician who connects the wiring 2 and the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100.

As described above, the operation member 4 is located on the same direction side as the terminal base 3 with respect to the rotation shaft 42 that is the center of rotation of the terminal base 3. The operation portion 44 extends along the steering with the rotation shaft 42 as the center and the operation wrist portion 43 as the radius. As shown in FIG. 11, when the terminal base 3 is in the first position, the operation of the operating member 4 is performed. The working portion 44 is fixed by a shape along the inner wall of the side surface 13. As shown in FIG. 12, when the terminal block 3 is located at the second position, the operation portion 44 of the operation member 4 is fixed by the shape along the outer wall of the second side surface 10 b of the main body portion 10.

In addition, the terminal base 3 is rotated 90 ° from the first position to the second position, and its trajectory is stopped in the main body cover 11. At this time, the terminal block 3 is only rotated in the horizontal direction because the vertical movement is restricted by the body cover 11.

Thereby, the space of the upper surface part 10c required for the rotation of the operation part 44 and the terminal base 3 is substantially the same, and the operation space of the terminal base 3 and the operation member 4 before and after rotation is limited to the range from the rotating shaft 42 to the terminal base 3. Since the trajectory of the operation portion 44 does not greatly protrude when the body portion 10 is viewed from above, the operation space can be small. Therefore, it is not necessary to increase the space for moving the operation portion 44 in the horizontal direction around the main body portion 10. Also, the space in the lower section of the upper surface portion 10c of the main body portion 10 does not need to be large. Therefore, a wide space can be secured for the equipment accommodated in the main body portion 10.

[Second Embodiment]

Next, a configuration example of a bathroom air conditioner 200 as a second embodiment will be described. Compared with the operation unit 44 of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 described in the first embodiment, the operation unit 64 of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200 is set to have a longer length in the extending direction. In the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200, a part different from the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment is added with a new symbol, and a description is described. In the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200, the same parts as those of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment are not described in detail.

The bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200 shown in FIG. 15 includes a main body portion 10 covered with a metal box, and is installed on a ceiling 104 of a building. Body part 10 has a pipe joint 19.

The first position and the second position of the terminal block 3 are the same positions as those described in the first embodiment, and the position of the terminal block 3 facing the first side surface 10a side of the main body portion 10 is the first position. A position of the terminal block 3 facing the second side surface 10b side of the main body portion 10 is defined as a second position.

The operation portion 64 is a contact portion 64c for fixing a screw on the grip portion 5 side of the base portion 61a. The abutting portion 64c has a locking portion 64d formed by a groove or a hole. When the terminal base 3 is located at the second position, the contact portion 64c is located at a position parallel to the second side surface 10b. The abutting portion 64c is provided for fixing the terminal base 3 to the second position.

The configuration of the back side of the operation arm portion 63 is the same as that of the operation member 4 shown in FIG. 10.

As shown in FIG. 15, the upper surface portion 10 c of the main body portion 10 is covered by the main body cover 21. The main body cover 21 is provided with the first opening portion 23 a and the second opening portion 24 a on the left and right side surfaces adjacent to the side surface 23. The body cover 21 of this example has a structure different from that of the fan motor 22 of the first embodiment only in the opening direction of the second opening portion 24a. The second opening portion 24 a is opened parallel to the second side surface 10 b of the main body portion 10.

The main body portion 10 is a peripheral edge portion on the side surface 23 side of the second opening portion 24 a and includes a rotation restricting portion 24 b extending from the side surface 23 to the inside of the main body cover 21. The rotation restricting portion 24b has the same shape as the rotation restricting portion 14b of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 and has the same function. The rotation restricting portion 24b has a screw hole 24c into which the screw 66 is inserted from the second side surface 10b side. When the terminal block 3 is located at the first position, the rotation restricting portion 24 b is in contact with the abutting portion 64 a of the operation member 6. The screw holes 24c of the rotation restricting portion 24b and the locking portions 64b of the abutting portion 64a are locked by the screws 66 to restrict the rotation of the terminal base 3 and the operation member 4 before the rotation.

As shown in FIG. 16, the main body portion 10 is attached to the second opening portion 24a. An outer edge portion on the second side surface 10b side includes a rotation restricting portion 24d. The rotation restricting portion 24d has the same shape as the rotation restricting portion 14d shown in FIG. 2 and has the same function. The rotation restricting portion 24d has a screw hole 24e into which the screw 66 is inserted from the second side surface 10b side. As shown in FIG. 16, when the terminal base 3 is located at the second position, the rotation restricting portion 24 d comes into contact with the abutting portion 44 c of the base portion 61 a of the terminal base 3. The screw hole 24e of the rotation restricting portion 24d and the locking portion 64d of the abutting portion 64c are locked with the screw 46, thereby restricting the rotation of the terminal block 3 and the operation member 6.

In this example, since the length in the extending direction of the operation portion 64 is set to be longer, when the terminal block 3 is located at the first position, the fixing position of the screw 66 is closer to the inspection port 103 than the fixing position of the screw 46 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the electrician can more easily remove the screw 66.

The steering system of the terminal block 3 is not limited to the above-mentioned direction. As a modified example of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200, the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200 'is shown in FIG. 17, and the terminal base 3 of the bathroom air-conditioning apparatus 200' is shown on the opposite side from the pipe joint 19 shown by a solid line in FIG.
