Abstract
Description
このように、扁平形状の伝熱管を有する熱交換器を製造する場合には、固定板も、フィン同様に溶接、接着をしないと伝熱管と固定ができない。したがって、扁平形状の伝熱管の場合には、円形状の伝熱管と比較すると、加工工数、作業工程などが増えてしまい、製造コストが増加してしまうという課題がある。
また、本発明に係る空気調和装置の室外機によれば、上記構成を有しているので、たとえば熱交換器の搬送時などに熱交換器が落下して熱交換器のフィンの最下端側に衝撃が加わっても、上下に隣接する熱交換器コアのうちの上側の熱交換器コアのフィンのうち、下側の熱交換器コアと当接する一端側が、落下による衝撃を受けて変形する。これにより、熱交換器のフィンの最下端側(一番下側の熱交換器コアのフィンの下端側)に熱交換器の落下などに衝撃が集中し、この部分が大きく変形してしまうことを抑制することができる。
実施の形態1.
図1は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の斜視図である。図2は、図1に示す室外機1から上側の前面パネル3及びファンガード5を取り外した状態の斜視図である。図3は、図2に示すものから左サイドパネル8及び右サイドパネル9などを取り外した状態の斜視図である。本実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
本実施の形態に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、製造コストを抑制しながら、熱交換器6のフィン11の最下端側が変形してしまうことを抑制することができる改良が加えられたものである。
室外機1は、図示省略の室内機などと冷媒配管を介して接続され、熱源機として機能するものである。室外機1は、図1に示すように、室外機1の前面側の外郭を構成する上側の前面パネル3及び下側の前面パネル4と、室外機1の上部に設けられるファンガード5と、室外機1の側面の外郭を構成する左サイドパネル8及び右サイドパネル9と、室外機1の下側の外郭を構成するベースパネル16とを有している。
上側の前面パネル3は、略平板状部材であって、室外機1の前面側の上側の外郭を構成するものである。上側の前面パネル3は、電装品箱23の対向位置に取り付けられるものである。下側の前面パネル4は、略平板状部材であって室外機1の前面側の下側の外郭を構成するものである。ファンガード5は、室外機1の上側の外郭を構成するものであり、空気吹出口7が形成されているものである。ファンガード5は、ファン22を覆うように室外機1の上部に設けられるものである。
右サイドパネル9は、室外機1の右側面の外郭に構成したコの字形状の部材である。右サイドパネル9は、図1及び図2では図示省略しているが、左サイドパネル8のように、複数の開口である空気吸込口2が形成されている。
ベースパネル16は、熱交換器6、図示省略のコンプレッサなどを支持するものである。ベースパネル16は、室外機1の底面側の外郭を構成するものである。ベースパネル16には、左サイドパネル8及び右サイドパネル9が、たとえばネジ止めなどで固定される。
右サイドフレーム19は、右サイドパネル9の上端側に固定されているものである。
前フレーム20は、左側の端部側が左サイドパネル8に固定され、右側の端部側が右サイドパネル9に固定されているものである。また、前フレーム20には、ファン22を回転させるモータ22Aを支持するモータサポート22Bの一方側が固定されている。
後ろフレーム21は、左サイドパネル8の上端側に固定されているものである。また、後ろフレーム21には、ファン22を回転させるモータ22Aを支持するモータサポート22Bの他方側が固定されている。
熱交換器6は、自身に供給される冷媒と、自身を通過する空気とを熱交換させるものである。そして、熱交換器6は、冷房運転時には凝縮器(放熱器)として機能して冷媒を凝縮液化し、暖房運転時には蒸発器として機能し冷媒を蒸発気化させるものである。熱交換器6は、左サイドパネル8及び右サイドパネル9の対向位置に設けられ、たとえば、左サイドパネル8及び右サイドパネル9などに固定された状態で室外機1に搭載されているものである。
ファン22は、ファンガード5を取り外すと露出し、回転することで室外機1内に空気を取り込み、室外機1外に空気を排気させるものである。このように、ファン22は、ファンガード5に囲まれるように設けられており、ファン22の上側には、空気吹出口7が形成されている。すなわち、空気吸込口2に沿って配置された熱交換器6を経た空気は、室外機1の内部に吸い込まれ、ファン22を介して外郭内部の上部に形成された空気吹出口7から排気される。
電装品箱23は、室外機1と図示省略の室内機との間を循環する冷媒の流れ、ファン22の回転数、圧縮機24の周波数などを制御する制御装置を有するものである。電装品箱23は、上側の前面パネル3の対向位置に設けられ、上側の前面パネル3を取り外すと露出する。
圧縮機24は、たとえばベースパネル16上に設置されるものであり、冷媒を圧縮して吐出するものである。圧縮機24は、吸入側がアキュムレータ25に接続される。また、圧縮機24は、吐出側が、冷房運転時には熱交換器6に接続され、暖房運転時には図示省略の室外機1に搭載される利用側の熱交換器に接続される。
アキュムレータ25は、圧縮機24の吸入側に接続され、液冷媒を貯留するものである。アキュムレータ25の後側、右側及び左側には、熱交換器6が立設している。また、アキュムレータ25は、圧縮機24の吸入側に冷媒配管26を介して接続されている。なお、この冷媒配管26は、アキュムレータ25の上部から上側に延出した後に下側に延出し、圧縮機24の吸入側である圧縮機24の側面に接続されている配管である。
四方弁27は、冷媒流路を切り替えるのに利用されるものである。四方弁27は、暖房運転時において、圧縮機24の吐出側と図示省略の室内機の利用側熱交換器とを接続し、圧縮機24の吸入側と熱交換器6とを接続するものである。また、四方弁27は、冷房運転時において、圧縮機24の吐出側と熱交換器6とを接続し、圧縮機24の吸入側と図示省略の室内機の利用側熱交換器とを接続するものである。
図4は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の熱交換器コア12の説明図である。図5は、図4に示す熱交換器コア12を積み重ねて熱交換器6を構成することを説明する図である。図6は、熱交換器6のUベンド13及びヘッダー14にロウ付けを実施した後、熱交換器6に曲げ加工を施すことを説明する図である。図4~図6を参照して、熱交換器6の製造方法の一例について説明する。
図7に示すように、上下に隣接する熱交換器コア12のうちの上側の熱交換器コア12は、フィン11の下端側であってフィン11の幅方向の一端側と、下側の熱交換器コア12のフィン11の上端側と当接している。
すなわち、上段熱交換器6Aの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の下端側と、中段熱交換器6Bの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の上端側とが当接し、そして、上段熱交換器6A及び中段熱交換器6Bには、上段熱交換器6Aの伝熱管10及び中段熱交換器6Bの伝熱管10を支持する固定板などは設けられていない。なお、上段熱交換器6Aの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の下端側、及び中段熱交換器6Bの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の上端側は、フィン11の幅方向と平行である。
本実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の熱交換器6には、固定板が設けられていない分、製造コストを抑制することができる。
本実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、固定板が設けられておらず、このような不具合を回避することができるようになっている。
また、本実施の形態1においては、複数の熱交換器コア12が重ね合わされて上段熱交換器6A、中段熱交換器6B、及び下段熱交換器6Cが構成されている場合を例に説明したが、それに限定されるものではなく、1つの熱交換器コア12から構成され、熱交換器コア12が重ね合わされていない態様であっても同様の効果を得ることができる。
さらに、本実施の形態1においては、熱交換器6が第1屈曲部6D及び第2屈曲部6Eを有し、水平断面形状がコの字状であるものとして説明しているがそれに限定されるものではなく、第1屈曲部6D及び第2屈曲部6Eのうちのいずれか一方を有し、水平断面形状がL字状であってもよいし、第1屈曲部6D及び第2屈曲部6Eのいずれも有さない平板形状であっても同様の効果を得ることができる。
図8は、実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の上下に隣接する熱交換器コア12の説明図である。実施の形態2では、実施の形態1と共通する部分については同一の符号を付し、主に異なる部分について中心に説明する。
実施の形態1では、上段熱交換器6Aの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の下端側、及び中段熱交換器6Bの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の下端側が、フィン11の幅方向と平行であった。実施の形態2では、このフィン11の形状が実施の形態1のものとは異なっている。
実施の形態2に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の有する効果に加えて次の効果を有する。上段熱交換器6A及び中段熱交換器6Bのフィン11の下端側には、変形部11Aが形成されている分、フィン11が変形しやすくなっており、より高効率に下段熱交換器6Cのフィン11の下端側に生じる衝撃を分散することができる。
上段熱交換器6A及び中段熱交換器6Bのフィン11の下端側は、風下側に導水しやすいようになっていると、さらにフィン11に付着している霜の除霜を妨害してしまうことを抑制する効果が大きい。図9(a)及び図9(b)に示すように、フィン11の下端側に、風上側から風下側にかけて伸びるように形成される溝部11Fを形成するとよい。溝部11Fは、図9(a)に示すように、たとえばフィン11の下端側と平行に形成される。
図10は、実施の形態3に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の上下に隣接する熱交換器コア12の説明図である。実施の形態3では、実施の形態1、2と共通する部分については同一の符号を付し、主に異なる部分について中心に説明する。実施の形態2では、フィン11に変形部11Aを設けたが、実施の形態3ではその形状が異なる。
そして、上段熱交換器6Aの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の下端側と、中段熱交換器6Bの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の上端側との間に、フィン11の幅方向において一定間隔となっている隙間11Dが形成されている。
そして、中段熱交換器6Bの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の下端側と、下段熱交換器6Cの熱交換器コア12のフィン11の上端側との間に隙間11Dが形成されている。
熱交換器6の搬送時などに熱交換器6が落下して下段熱交換器6Cのフィン11の下端側に衝撃が加わると、中段熱交換器6Bの変形部11Cのうちフィン11の幅方向の他端側(図10(a)のT2参照)が、図10(b)に示すように変形して変形部11CCが形成され、下段熱交換器6Cのフィン11の下端側に生じる衝撃が分散される。
実施の形態3に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の有する効果に加えて次の効果を有する。上段熱交換器6A及び中段熱交換器6Bのフィン11の下端側には、変形部11Cが形成されている分、フィン11が変形しやすくなっており、より高効率に下段熱交換器6Cのフィン11の下端側に生じる衝撃を分散することができる。
図11は、実施の形態4に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の上下に隣接する熱交換器コア12の説明図である。実施の形態4では、実施の形態1~3と共通する部分については同一の符号を付し、主に異なる部分について中心に説明する。実施の形態4は、上段熱交換器6Aと中段熱交換器6Bとの間の分割部分、中段熱交換器6Bと下段熱交換器6Cとの間の分割部分に滞留したドレン水の氷結が進行しないように除霜運転時におけるホットガスを優先的に供給する伝熱管10を設定している。
すなわち、圧縮機24及び熱交換器6は、上段熱交換器6Aにホットガスが供給されると、まず、上段熱交換器6Aの伝熱管10A及び中段熱交換器6Bの伝熱管10Aにホットガスが供給されるように構成されているということである。
実施の形態4に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の有する効果に加えて次の効果を有する。
実施の形態4に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、除霜運転時にホットガスを伝熱管10Aに優先的に供給するので、上段熱交換器6Aと中段熱交換器6Bとの間の分割部分、及び、中段熱交換器6Bと下段熱交換器6Cとの間の分割部分に滞留したドレン水の氷結の進行を高効率に抑制することができる。
図12は、実施の形態5に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の上下に隣接する熱交換器コア12の説明図である。実施の形態5では、実施の形態1~4と共通する部分については同一の符号を付し、主に異なる部分について中心に説明する。実施の形態2、3では、上側の熱交換器コア12について変形部11A、11Cを形成したものであったが、実施の形態4では、上下に隣接する熱交換器コア12の両方に変形部11E1及び変形部11E2を形成した態様である。
また、中段熱交換器6Bの熱交換器コア12は、フィン11の下端側に、フィン11の厚み方向の一方側が他方側よりも下側に突出する変形部11E1が形成されている。また、下段熱交換器6Cの熱交換器コア12は、フィン11の上端側に、フィン11の厚み方向の他方側が一方側よりも上側に突出する変形部11E2が形成されている。
実施の形態5に係る空気調和装置の室外機1は、実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置の室外機1の有する効果と同様の効果を有する。
