 対向板部63は、気流が衝突する部位であって、支持部材6の下面を形成している。対向板部63は、基板部60の上流側から気流の方向に対して対向するように水平に延出して配置されている。基板部60から対向板部63の先端までの長さ(延出量)L1(例えば、22~32mm程度)は、基板部60から支持板部62の先端までの長さ(延出量)L2よりも小さく形成されている。換言すると、対向板部63の面積は、支持板部62の面積よりも、小さい。なお、面積とは、気流に対する正面投影面積といえる。 The opposing plate portion 63 is a portion where the air flow collides, and forms the lower surface of the support member 6. The opposing plate portion 63 is disposed to extend horizontally so as to face the direction of the air flow from the upstream side of the substrate portion 60. The length (extension amount) L1 (for example, about 22 to 32 mm) from the substrate portion 60 to the tip of the opposing plate portion 63 is the length (extension amount) L2 from the substrate portion 60 to the tip of the support portion 62 It is smaller than that. In other words, the area of the opposing plate portion 63 is smaller than the area of the support plate portion 62. In addition, an area can be said to be a front projection area with respect to an air flow.
 図4に示すように、蓋板部61は、正面視して、略コ字状(略U字状)に折り曲げられた支持部材6の支持板部62と、対向板部63との間に配置するように、平面視してL字状に折り曲げ形成された矩形の突出片からなる。各蓋板部61の中央部には、支持部材6を前側ステー76及び後側ステー77に固定するための支持部材固定ねじ68が挿入されるねじ挿入孔61aが形成されている(図3参照)。 As shown in FIG. 4, the cover plate portion 61 is located between the support plate portion 62 of the support member 6 and the opposing plate portion 63 which are bent in a substantially U shape (substantially U shape) in a front view. It consists of a rectangular projecting piece bent and formed in an L shape in plan view so as to be disposed. At the central portion of each lid plate portion 61, a screw insertion hole 61a is formed in which a support member fixing screw 68 for fixing the support member 6 to the front stay 76 and the rear stay 77 is inserted (see FIG. 3). ).
≪作用≫
 次に、図1~図5を参照して、本発明の実施形態に係る空気調和機の室外機の作用を説明する。
«Function»
Next, the operation of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
 図1に示すように、空気調和機の室外機1は、モータ5が回転駆動すると、モータ軸51(図4参照)を介してファン4が回転する。すると、ファン4は、室外機1の外周の外気を左右後側の三面から室外機1内に吸引して、熱交換器2(図3参照)で熱交換を行って、ベルマウス兼シュラウド78の上側開口部から上方向(矢印a方向)へと送って大気中に排出する。このため、図3に示すように、ファン4によって筐体7内に吸引された空気(矢印b)は、熱交換器2を流通して冷媒と空気の熱交換を促進させる。 As shown in FIG. 1, when the motor 5 is driven to rotate, the outdoor unit 1 of the air conditioner rotates the fan 4 via the motor shaft 51 (see FIG. 4). Then, the fan 4 sucks the outside air of the outer periphery of the outdoor unit 1 into the outdoor unit 1 from the three sides on the left and right rear sides, and performs heat exchange with the heat exchanger 2 (see FIG. 3). The air is sent to the upper direction (the direction of arrow a) from the upper opening of the For this reason, as shown in FIG. 3, the air (arrow b) sucked into the housing 7 by the fan 4 flows through the heat exchanger 2 to promote heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air.
 図1に示すように、筐体7内では、下方から上方へ向かって空気が流れるので、支持部材6が空気の流れ(気流)に対向する状態に配置されている。
 図5に示すように、縦断面視してコ字状(略U字状)に形成された支持部材6は、室外機1(図1参照)内の気流に対向する対向板部63の面積(延出量)が、対向板部63よりも下流側に配置された支持板部62の面積(延出量)よりも、小さく形成されている。このように支持部材6は、室外機1(図1参照)の内部の気流に対向する面の面積(延出量)が小さく形成されていることによって、対向板部63に衝突する空気の衝突量を小さくすることができる。
As shown in FIG. 1, in the housing 7, air flows from the lower side to the upper side, so the support member 6 is disposed in a state of facing the air flow (air flow).
As shown in FIG. 5, the support member 6 formed in a U-shape (approximately U-shape) in a longitudinal cross-sectional view has an area of the opposing plate portion 63 opposed to the air flow in the outdoor unit 1 (see FIG. 1). The (amount of extension) is formed smaller than the area (amount of extension) of the support plate portion 62 disposed downstream of the opposing plate portion 63. As described above, the support member 6 is formed such that the area (amount of extension) of the surface facing the air flow inside the outdoor unit 1 (see FIG. 1) is small, so that the collision of air colliding with the opposing plate portion 63 The amount can be reduced.
 また、支持部材6に対して当たるように下方向から上方向に向かって流れて来る空気は、対向板部63に衝突し、左右方向に分かれるように変向されて、左右方向に広がるように下流方向に流れる。このため、支持部材6は、下流方向へ流れる空気の流入角度を緩やかにして、支持板部62を避けるように流すことができる。 Further, the air flowing from the lower to the upper side so as to hit the support member 6 collides with the opposing plate portion 63, is diverted so as to be divided in the left and right direction, and spreads in the left and right direction. It flows in the downstream direction. Therefore, the support member 6 can flow so as to avoid the support plate portion 62 by making the inflow angle of the air flowing in the downstream direction gentle.
 また、支持部材6は、下流側の支持板部62の面積が対向板部63の面積よりも広く形成されているので、しっかりとモータ5(モータブラケット53)を支持することができる。また、支持部材6は、空気(矢印c,d)を徐々に左右方向に広がるように下流方向に流すことができるので、空気をスムーズに流すことができるため、空気抵抗(抗力係数)を小さくすることができる。また、基板部60は、垂直方向に形成されていることによって、気流を整流させる機能を果す。 Further, since the area of the support plate portion 62 on the downstream side is formed wider than the area of the opposing plate portion 63, the support member 6 can support the motor 5 (motor bracket 53) firmly. Further, since the support member 6 can flow air (arrows c and d) in the downstream direction so as to gradually spread in the left and right direction, air can flow smoothly, so the air resistance (drag coefficient) is small. can do. In addition, the substrate portion 60 functions to rectify the air flow by being formed in the vertical direction.
 このように支持部材6は、空気抵抗を小さくすることができるので、ファン4を駆動のためのモータ5の入力電流を減少させて、室外機1のファン4の性能を高くすることができる(図1参照)。また、支持部材6は、空気抵抗を低減させたことにより、気流が支持部材6に当たることによって発生する騒音(風の音)を低減させることができる。 Thus, since the support member 6 can reduce the air resistance, it is possible to reduce the input current of the motor 5 for driving the fan 4 and to enhance the performance of the fan 4 of the outdoor unit 1 ( See Figure 1). Moreover, the support member 6 can reduce the noise (sound of a wind) which generate | occur | produces when airflow falls on the support member 6 by reducing air resistance.
 また、図4あるいは図5に示すように、支持部材6を製造する場合は、まず、1枚の板金を切断して、基板部60、支持板部62、対向板部63及び蓋板部61を形成する切断工程を行う。次に、支持板部62に雌ねじ部(図示省略)を形成するねじ形成工程と、蓋板部61にねじ挿入孔61aを形成する穴あけ工程と、を行う。続いて、基板部60に対して、支持板部62、対向板部63及び蓋板部61を直角に折り曲げる曲げ工程を行うことで、支持部材6を完成させることができる。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. 5, when manufacturing the support member 6, first, one sheet metal is cut, and the substrate portion 60, the support plate portion 62, the counter plate portion 63, and the lid plate portion 61. Perform a cutting process to form Next, a screw forming step of forming a female screw portion (not shown) in the support plate portion 62 and a drilling step of forming a screw insertion hole 61 a in the lid plate portion 61 are performed. Subsequently, the supporting member 6 can be completed by performing a bending process of bending the support plate portion 62, the counter plate portion 63, and the lid plate portion 61 at right angles with respect to the substrate portion 60.
 このように支持部材6は、1枚の板金を切断して折り曲げることによって、容易にプレス加工して製造することができる。このため、支持部材6は、製造工程及び部品点数が少なく、短時間で製造することができるため、コストダウンを図ることができる。 As described above, the support member 6 can be easily pressed and manufactured by cutting and bending one sheet metal. For this reason, since the supporting member 6 can be manufactured in a short time with a small number of manufacturing processes and parts, cost can be reduced.
 このようにして形成された支持部材6は、基板部60の下流側端部及び上流側端部の曲げ部6a,6bが折り曲げて、縦断面視して略コ字状(略U字状)に形成されていることによって、基板部60の上下端部に2つの稜線が形成されている。このため、支持部材6は、上下方向の荷重に対する支持強度が向上されて、送風機40(図1参照)をしっかりと支持することが可能な強度を確保することができる。 The supporting member 6 formed in this manner is substantially U-shaped (substantially U-shaped) in a longitudinal cross-sectional view by bending the bent portions 6a and 6b at the downstream end and the upstream end of the substrate portion 60. The two ridge lines are formed at the upper and lower end portions of the substrate portion 60 by forming them. For this reason, the supporting strength with respect to the load of the up-down direction is improved, and the supporting member 6 can ensure the intensity | strength which can support the air blower 40 (refer FIG. 1) firmly.

[第1変形例]
 図6は、室外機の支持部材の第1変形例を示す拡大縦断面図である。
 前記実施形態は、支持部材6(図5参照)の一例として、縦断面視してコ字状(略U字状)のものを例に挙げて説明したが、これに限定されるものではない。図6に示すように、支持部材6Aは、対向板部63Aの上流側端部を上流側方向に折り曲げて形成されて、空気の流れを整流させる機能を果す上流側整流板部64Aを有するものであってもよい。
First Modification
FIG. 6 is an enlarged vertical sectional view showing a first modified example of the support member of the outdoor unit.
Although the said embodiment mentioned and demonstrated the thing of a U-shape (substantially U-shape) to a longitudinal cross-sectional view as an example of the supporting member 6 (refer FIG. 5), it is not limited to this. . As shown in FIG. 6, the supporting member 6A is formed by bending the upstream end of the opposing plate 63A in the upstream direction, and has an upstream rectifying plate 64A that functions to rectify the flow of air. It may be
 この場合、支持部材6Aには、対向板部63Aの左端部に形成された曲げ部6Aaを、上流側方向に直角に折り曲げて下側方向に延びる上流側整流板部64Aが形成されている。対向板部63Aの右端から左端までの長さ(延出量)L3は、支持板部62Aの右端から左端までの長さ(延出量)L2の約半分程度の長さ(延出量)にする。上流側整流板部64Aは、下面視して支持部材6Aの中央部に配置されている。 In this case, the support member 6A is provided with an upstream side straightening plate portion 64A which extends downward by bending the bent portion 6Aa formed at the left end portion of the opposing plate portion 63A at a right angle to the upstream side direction. The length (extension amount) L3 from the right end to the left end of the opposing plate 63A is about half the length (extension amount) L2 from the right end to the left end of the support plate 62A (extension amount) Make it The upstream rectifying plate portion 64A is disposed at the central portion of the support member 6A as viewed from below.
 したがって、支持部材6Aの基板部60A、支持板部62A、対向板部63A、及び、上流側整流板部64Aは、側面視して全体が逆三角形にイメージした範囲の内側に配置されるように配置されて、下流に流れる気流を徐々に横方向に拡げて、空気抵抗が小さくなるように配置されている。 Accordingly, the substrate 60A, the support plate 62A, the counter plate 63A, and the upstream rectifying plate 64A of the support member 6A are disposed within the range in which the whole is imaged as an inverted triangle in a side view. It is arranged so that the air flow flowing downstream gradually spreads laterally to reduce air resistance.
 このように形成された支持部材6Aに対して流れて来る空気は、上流側整流板部64Aの先端面に衝突して変向されて、基板部60A側(矢印e側)と、支持板部62Aの先端側(矢印f側)と、に向かう流れに二分される。二分された空気は、上流方向に延びる上流側整流板部64Aにある程度沿った流れとなって、下流方向に流れる。 The air flowing to the support member 6A formed in this way collides with the tip end surface of the upstream rectification plate portion 64A and is deflected, and the substrate portion 60A side (arrow e side), the support plate portion The flow toward the tip end side (arrow f side) of 62A is divided into two. The divided air flows to a downstream direction in a flow along an upstream side straightening vane portion 64A extending in the upstream direction.
 上流側整流板部64Aの先端面で変向された空気は、支持板部62Aに対して流入角度が緩やか角度となって流れるので、支持板部62Aに衝突する衝突量が減少させるように流れる。 The air deflected at the tip end face of the upstream side straightening vane portion 64A flows so that the inflow angle becomes a gentle angle with respect to the support plate portion 62A, so that the amount of collisions colliding with the support plate portion 62A decreases. .
 また、上流側整流板部64Aの先端面で変向された空気の流れ(矢印e,f)は、基板部60Aに沿って下流側に流れる流れとなる。そのため、支持部材6Aの各面(上流側整流板部64A、対向板部63A、基板部60A及び支持板部62A)に対し衝突する空気の衝突量は、実施形態の支持部材6よりも少なく、騒音及び空気抵抗(抗力係数)が小さいため、空気が流れ易くなっている。その結果、送風機40(図1参照)を駆動させるための入力電流を低減させることができる。 Further, the flow of the air (arrows e and f) deflected at the tip end face of the upstream side rectifying plate portion 64A is a flow flowing to the downstream side along the substrate portion 60A. Therefore, the amount of collision of air with respect to each surface of the support member 6A (the upstream side rectifying plate portion 64A, the opposing plate portion 63A, the substrate portion 60A, and the support plate portion 62A) is smaller than that of the supporting member 6 of the embodiment. The low noise and low air resistance (drag coefficient) make it easy for the air to flow. As a result, the input current for driving the blower 40 (see FIG. 1) can be reduced.
[第2変形例]
 図7は、モータを支持する支持部材の第2変形例を示す拡大縦断面図である。
 図7に示すように、支持部材6Bは、上流側整流板部64Bの上流側端部を下流側方向に折り曲げて形成されたR部r1と、R部r1から下流方向に折り畳むようにして形成された折返板部65Bと、を有するものであってもよい。
Second Modified Example
FIG. 7 is an enlarged vertical sectional view showing a second modified example of the support member for supporting the motor.
As shown in FIG. 7, the supporting member 6B is formed so as to be folded in the downstream direction from the R portion r1 formed by bending the upstream side end portion of the upstream rectifying plate portion 64B in the downstream side direction and the R portion r1. And the folded back plate portion 65B.
 この場合、R部r1は、前記第1変形例の上流側整流板部64A(図6参照)と同一の上流側整流板部64Bの上流側を延ばして、下流側に180度折り返すようにして形成された折り曲げ部である。R部r1の外周面は、断面視して半円形状に形成されている。R部r1は、下面視して支持部材6Bの中央部に配置されている。R部r1は、空気の流れを滑らかにする機能と、強度を向上させる機能と、を果す。
 折返板部65Bは、上流側整流板部64Bの左側に、上流側整流板部64Bに沿って下流側方向に平行に配置されている。
In this case, the R portion r1 extends the upstream side of the upstream rectifying plate portion 64B which is the same as the upstream rectifying plate portion 64A (see FIG. 6) of the first modification, and folds it 180 degrees downstream. It is a formed bent part. The outer peripheral surface of the R portion r1 is formed in a semicircular shape in cross section. The R portion r1 is disposed at the central portion of the support member 6B in a bottom view. The R portion r1 functions to smooth the air flow and to improve the strength.
The folded-back plate portion 65B is disposed on the left side of the upstream flow straightening vane portion 64B in parallel with the downstream side direction along the upstream flow straightening vane portion 64B.
 このように形成された支持部材6Bに対して流れて来る空気は、上流側端部のR部r1に衝突して流れる方向が変向され、上流側整流板部64B及び基板部60Bに沿って流れる流れ(矢印g)と、折返板部65Bに沿って流れる流れ(矢印h)と、に分散される。 The air flowing to the support member 6B formed in this way collides with the R portion r1 of the upstream end and the flow direction is changed, and the air flows along the upstream current plate portion 64B and the substrate portion 60B. It is dispersed into a flowing flow (arrow g) and a flow (arrow h) flowing along the turnaround plate portion 65B.
 R部r1で流れる方向が支持部材6Bの右側に変向された空気の流れ(矢印g)は、対向板部63Bに対して流入角度が緩やかとなる。このため、対向板部63Bへの空気の衝突量は、小さくなる。R部r1で流れる方向が支持部材6Bの左側に変向された空気の流れ(矢印h)は、支持板部62Bを避けるように、R部r1から斜め左上方向に向かって流れる流れとなる。 The flow (arrow g) of the air whose direction of flow at the R portion r1 is deflected to the right of the support member 6B has a gentle inflow angle with respect to the opposing plate portion 63B. For this reason, the collision amount of air to the opposing plate portion 63B is reduced. The air flow (arrow h) whose flow direction is diverted to the left side of the support member 6B in the R portion r1 is a flow flowing obliquely from the R portion r1 toward the upper left so as to avoid the support plate portion 62B.
 このため、支持部材6Bの各面に対して衝突する空気の衝突量は、少なくなる。これにより、支持部材6Bは、空気抵抗及び騒音も小さくなり、ファン4を駆動させるためのモータ5の入力電流を削減することができる(図1参照)。 For this reason, the collision amount of the air colliding with each surface of the support member 6B is reduced. Thus, the support member 6B also reduces air resistance and noise, and can reduce the input current of the motor 5 for driving the fan 4 (see FIG. 1).
[第3変形例]
 図8は、モータを支持する支持部材の第3変形例を示す拡大縦断面図である。
 図8に示すように、支持部材6Cは、上流側整流板部64Cの上流側端部を対向板部63Cに沿うように折り曲げて形成された上流側対向板部66Cを有するものであってもよい。
Third Modification
FIG. 8 is an enlarged vertical sectional view showing a third modified example of the support member for supporting the motor.
As shown in FIG. 8, even if the supporting member 6C has an upstream opposing plate 66C formed by bending the upstream end of the upstream rectifying plate 64C along the opposing plate 63C. Good.
 この場合、支持部材6Cは、上流側整流板部64Cの上流側端部の曲げ部6Caを、気流方向に対して対向する向きに折り曲げて形成された上流側対向板部66Cを有している。上流側対向板部66Cは、気流方向に形成された上流側整流板部64Cに対して、直角に左右方向に向けて形成されている。上流側対向板部66Cは、下面視して支持部材6Cの略中央部に配置されている。上流側対向板部66Cの面積(延出量)は、対向板部63Cの面積(延出量)よりも小さく形成されている。対向板部63Cの面積(延出量)は、支持板部62Cの面積(延出量)よりも小さく形成されている。 In this case, the supporting member 6C has an upstream opposing plate portion 66C formed by bending the bent portion 6Ca at the upstream end of the upstream rectifying plate portion 64C in the direction opposite to the air flow direction. . The upstream opposing plate portion 66C is formed at right angles in the left-right direction with respect to the upstream rectifying plate portion 64C formed in the air flow direction. The upstream facing plate portion 66C is disposed substantially at the center of the support member 6C in a bottom view. The area (extension amount) of the upstream side opposing plate portion 66C is formed smaller than the area (extension amount) of the opposing plate portion 63C. The area (extension amount) of the opposing plate portion 63C is formed smaller than the area (extension amount) of the support plate portion 62C.
 このように、側面視して略逆S字状に形成された支持部材6Cに対して流れて来る空気は、上流側対向板部66Cに衝突して流れる方向が変向される。変向された空気は、対向板部63C及び基板部60Cに向かって流入角度が緩やかになった空気の流れ(矢印i)と、上流側整流板部64Cに沿うように支持板部62Cの左端部側に向かって流れる空気の流れ(矢印j)と、に分散される。また、側面視して略逆S字状の支持部材6Cは、曲げ部6Ca及び稜線が多く形成されているので、全体の強度を向上させることができる。 As described above, the air flowing to the support member 6C formed in a substantially inverted S-shape in a side view collides with the upstream side opposing plate portion 66C and is diverted in the flowing direction. The diverted air has an air flow (arrow i) whose inflow angle has become gentle toward the opposing plate portion 63C and the base plate portion 60C, and the left end of the support plate portion 62C so as to be along the upstream side rectifying plate portion 64C. It is dispersed in the air flow (arrow j) flowing toward the part side. In addition, since the bending portion 6Ca and the ridge line are formed in a large amount in the substantially inverted S-shaped supporting member 6C in side view, the overall strength can be improved.
 上流側対向板部66Cで流れる方向が支持部材6Cの右側に変向された空気の流れ(矢印i)は、支持板部62Cを避けるようにして下流方向に流れる。上流側対向板部66Cで流れる方向が支持部材6Cの左側に変向された空気の流れ(矢印j)は、対向板部63Cに対して流入角度が緩やかとなっており、対向板部63Cの下面のへの空気の衝突量が小さくなる。 The air flow (arrow i) whose flow direction is diverted to the right side of the support member 6C by the upstream opposing plate portion 66C flows in the downstream direction so as to avoid the support plate portion 62C. The air flow (arrow j) whose direction of flow in the upstream facing plate portion 66C is diverted to the left side of the support member 6C (arrow j) has a gentle inflow angle with respect to the facing plate portion 63C. The amount of air collision with the lower surface decreases.
 このため、支持部材6Cの各面に対して衝突する空気の衝突量は、少なくなる。これにより、支持部材6Cは、空気抵抗も小さくなり、ファン4を駆動のためのモータ5の入力電流を削減することができる(図1参照)。 For this reason, the collision amount of the air colliding with each surface of the support member 6C is reduced. Accordingly, the support member 6C also reduces the air resistance, and the input current of the motor 5 for driving the fan 4 can be reduced (see FIG. 1).
[第4変形例]
 図9は、モータを支持する支持部材の第4変形例を示す拡大縦断面図である。
 図9に示すように、支持部材6Dは、支持板部62Dから下流方向に折り曲げられた下流側整流板部67Dを有しているものであってもよい。
Fourth Modified Example
FIG. 9 is an enlarged vertical sectional view showing a fourth modification of the support member for supporting the motor.
As shown in FIG. 9, the support member 6D may have a downstream side flow plate portion 67D which is bent in the downstream direction from the support plate portion 62D.
 この場合、支持部材6Dは、支持板部62Dの左端部の曲げ部6Daを、下流方向側に折り曲げて、下流方向に延びる下流側整流板部67Dを有している。下流側整流板部67Dは、気流方向に対して直交する方向(水平方向)に形成された支持板部62Dに対して、直角に上方向に向けて形成されている。下流側整流板部67Dは、平面視して支持部材6Dの左端に配置されている。 In this case, the support member 6D has a downstream straightening plate portion 67D which is bent in the downstream direction by bending the bent portion 6Da at the left end of the support plate portion 62D in the downstream direction. The downstream flow straightening plate portion 67D is formed to extend upward at a right angle with respect to a support plate portion 62D formed in a direction (horizontal direction) orthogonal to the air flow direction. The downstream rectifying plate portion 67D is disposed at the left end of the support member 6D in plan view.
 このように形成された支持部材6Dに対して流れて来る空気は、対向板部63Dに衝突して流れる方向が左右(矢印k,m)方向に変向される。対向板部63Dの右側に流れた空気(矢印k)は、基板部60Dに沿って下流側方向に流れる。対向板部63Dの左側に流れた空気(矢印m)は、支持板部62Dを避けるように下流側に流れ、下流側整流板部67Dの左側面に整流されて下流側整流板部67Dに沿って下流側に流れる。 The air flowing to the support member 6D formed in this way is deflected in the right and left direction (arrows k and m) in the flow direction of the air that collides with the opposing plate portion 63D and flows. The air (arrow k) that has flowed to the right of the opposing plate portion 63D flows in the downstream direction along the substrate portion 60D. The air (arrow m) that has flowed to the left of the opposing plate 63D flows downstream so as to avoid the support plate 62D, and is rectified to the left side of the downstream rectifying plate 67D to be along the downstream rectifying plate 67D. Flow downstream.
 このため、支持部材6Dの各面に対して衝突する空気の衝突量は、少なくなる。支持部材6Dは、下流側を整流することによって空気抵抗を小さくすることができるので、ファン4を駆動のためのモータ5の入力電流を削減することができる(図1参照)。 For this reason, the collision amount of the air colliding with each surface of the support member 6D is reduced. Since the support member 6D can reduce the air resistance by rectifying the downstream side, the input current of the motor 5 for driving the fan 4 can be reduced (see FIG. 1).
[第5変形例]
 図10は、モータを支持する支持部材の第5変形例を示す拡大縦断面図である。
 図10に示すように、上流側整流板部64Eを有する支持部材6Eは、前記第4変形例の支持部材6D(図9参照)と同様に、支持板部62Eから下流方向に折り曲げられた下流側整流板部67Eを有しているものであってもよい。
Fifth Modification
FIG. 10 is an enlarged vertical sectional view showing a fifth modification of the support member for supporting the motor.
