- a pressure reducing device 16 As the decompression device 16, an expansion valve or a capillary tube that is a copper capillary tube can be employed.
- the air conditioner 10 is divided into an outdoor unit that houses the compressor 12, the outdoor heat exchanger 14, and the decompression device 16, and an indoor unit that houses the indoor heat exchanger 18.
- the air conditioner 10 performs a refrigeration cycle in which the refrigerant returns to the compressor 12 through the outdoor heat exchanger 14, the decompression device 16, and the indoor heat exchanger 18 in order from the compressor 12 through the refrigerant pipes 20 to 26. It is configured to be realized.
- the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant pipe 20 toward the outdoor heat exchanger 14 in a gas phase after being compressed by the compressor 12.
- the refrigerant is deprived of heat by heat exchange with outdoor air via the outdoor heat exchanger 14, enters a liquid phase state, and flows through the refrigerant pipe 22 toward the decompression device 16.
- the refrigerant is expanded by the decompression device 16 to reduce the pressure, and flows through the refrigerant pipe 24 toward the indoor heat exchanger 18.
- the refrigerant takes heat from the indoor air via the indoor heat exchanger 18 to be in a gas phase, and flows through the refrigerant pipe 26 toward the compressor 12.
- the air conditioner 10 also has a control board (that is, a control component) 30 that controls the refrigeration cycle, and a control box 32 that protects the control board 30.
- the control box 32 is provided in the outdoor unit.
- control component is a component used for controlling the air conditioner 10, for example, an electronic component that controls the output of the compressor 12 and the throttle amount of the expansion valve as the decompression device 16.
- control component is not limited to a control board on which a plurality of electronic components are mounted, and refers to a component that needs to be cooled because it generates heat partially or entirely.
- the control board 30 is protected from, for example, dust or water by being accommodated in the control box 32. Therefore, the control box 32 is configured so that dust and water do not enter the inside thereof.
- a hole through which a cable (not shown) extending from the control board 30 to the outside of the control box 32 passes is sealed.
- the control box 32 is preferably composed of a main body whose upper surface is open and a lid that covers the upper surface of the main body from the viewpoint of maintainability, and further, the space between the main body and the lid is also sealed. Is desirable.
- a sponge-like resin material such as an EPT sheet can be used.
- a cooling unit 34 is provided in the control box 32.
- the cooling unit 34 is configured to cool the air in the control box 32 by heat exchange with the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle, and as shown in FIG. 2, the refrigerant pipe 24 and the fin structure attached to the refrigerant pipe 24. 36.
- a part of the refrigerant pipe 24 passes through the control box 32 as shown in FIG. 1, and a plurality of plate-shaped fins 36a are provided on the refrigerant pipe 24 in the control box 32 as shown in FIG.
- a fin structure 36 is provided.
- the cooling unit 34 cools the air in the control box 32 by exchanging heat between the air in the control box 32 and the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant pipe 24 via the fin structure 36. By such a cooling unit 34, the control board 30 is cooled via air.
- the refrigerant pipe that constitutes a part of the cooling unit 34 is preferably the refrigerant pipe 24 that connects the decompression device 16 and the indoor heat exchanger 18.
- the refrigerant pipe 24 By effectively using the refrigerant pipe 24, it is not necessary to separately provide a pipe through which the refrigerant flows through the control box 32 just for cooling the air in the control box 32.
- the refrigerant pipe 24 is supplied with the refrigerant whose pressure has been reduced by the decompression device 16, the pressure acting and the generated vibration are smaller than those of the other refrigerant pipes 20, 22, and 26 shown in FIG. Therefore, the direction in which the refrigerant pipe 24 is arranged in the control box 32 can suppress vibration compared to the case where the other refrigerant pipes 20, 22, and 26 are arranged. As a result, it is possible to reduce the thickness of the piping disposed in the control box 32, which has a secondary merit that the material used can be reduced and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, as another reason, since the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipe 24 is originally at a low pressure, the influence of the pressure loss caused by passing through the control box 32 (by lengthening) may be small.
- the fin structure 36 of the cooling unit 34 is integrally formed of metal such as aluminum as shown in FIG.
- a plurality of plate-shaped fins 36 a are provided on one surface of the main body portion 36 b of the fin structure 36 so as to be arranged in parallel with each other at equal intervals.

- the fan 44 agitates the air in the control box 32 to make the temperature distribution in the control box 32 uniform and increase the cooling efficiency of the control board 30.
- the fan 44 can also suppress the generation of condensed water on the surface of the cooling unit 34 by forcibly stirring the air in the control box 32. More specifically, since the air around the cooling unit 34 is moved by the fan 44, the condensed water is less likely to be generated on the surface of the cooling unit 34 than when the fan 44 is not present, and the condensed water is generated. It is difficult to grow greatly.
- the fan 44 is preferably arranged so as to blow air toward the fin structure 36 of the cooling unit 34 as shown in FIG. 2 (or FIG. 4).
- the air cooled by the cooling unit 34 is diffused throughout the control box 32.

- examples of the heat insulating material include fiber heat insulating materials such as glass wool, foam heat insulating materials such as urethane foam, and vacuum heat insulating materials. It is preferable to use a vacuum heat insulating material having higher heat insulating performance than the heat insulating material.
- examples of the vacuum heat insulating material include those obtained by packing glass fibers with a laminate film and reducing the internal pressure thereof.

Are arranged at positions in the horizontal control box 32. Thereby, it is suppressed that the control board 30 gets wet with the dew condensation water which generate
- the fan 44 is disposed in the control box 32 to forcibly agitate the air in the control box 32.
- the cooling of the control board 30 by the cooling unit 34 is sufficient. If present, the fan 44 may be omitted.

- the present invention is not limited to this.
- the present invention is also applicable to the air conditioner 10 in which the refrigerant flows in the order of the compressor 12, the indoor heat exchanger 18, the decompression device 16, and the outdoor heat exchanger 14, that is, the air conditioner 10 that performs the heating operation. It is.
- the cooling unit 34 is configured to cool the air in the control box 32 using all the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerant pipe 24, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Absent. A part of the refrigerant flowing in any one of the refrigerant pipes 22 to 26 may be used for cooling the air in the control box 32.
- a cooling unit may be configured by attaching a fin structure to the bypass pipe. In this case, although the cooling capacity with respect to the control board 30 falls compared with the above-mentioned embodiment, the cooling capacity of the air conditioner 10 improves.
- the present invention cools the air in the control box using a refrigerant
- the present invention is not limited to an air conditioner and can be applied to any apparatus that handles a refrigerant such as a refrigerator.
