凹部58の縁は、例えば、円弧形状となっている。また例えば、凹部58の縁は、上方向に延びる長穴形状であってもよい。すなわち、凹部58の縁の形状は、長穴部57に雄ネジ45が挿入されている状態において長穴部57と雄ネジ45との間に形成される前後方向の隙間に対して、凹部58に雄ネジ45が挿入されている状態において凹部58と雄ネジ45との間に形成される前後方向の隙間が小さくなる形状であればよい。
The edge of the recess 58 has, for example, an arc shape. Further, for example, the edge of the recess 58 may have a long hole shape extending upward. That is, the shape of the edge of the concave portion 58 is such that the concave portion 58 is in the front-rear direction gap formed between the long hole portion 57 and the male screw 45 when the male screw 45 is inserted into the long hole portion 57. In the state in which the male screw 45 is inserted, the gap in the front-rear direction formed between the recess 58 and the male screw 45 may be reduced.
ここで、後述のように、筐体1に設けられる熱交換器20は、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設される場合と、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設される場合とがある。すなわち、本実施の形態に係る室外機100では、並設される熱交換部21の数に応じて、送風装置30の正規の位置が2つ存在することとなる。このため、開口部56は、送風装置30の正規の位置に応じて、2つの凹部58を備えている。これらの凹部58は、前後方向に規定間隔Lを空けて設けられている。すなわち、開口部56は、前後方向に規定間隔Lを空けて、2つの凹部58を備えている。なお、図11で後述するように、熱交換部21の前後方向の厚みは、厚みTとなっている。そして、規定間隔Lは、厚みTと同じ値となっている。
Here, as will be described later, in the heat exchanger 20 provided in the housing 1, two heat exchange portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction and three heat exchange portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. There is a case. That is, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, there are two regular positions of the blower device 30 according to the number of heat exchange units 21 arranged in parallel. For this reason, the opening part 56 is provided with two recessed parts 58 according to the regular position of the air blower 30. FIG. These recesses 58 are provided with a specified interval L in the front-rear direction. That is, the opening 56 includes two recesses 58 with a specified interval L in the front-rear direction. As will be described later with reference to FIG. 11, the thickness of the heat exchanging portion 21 in the front-rear direction is a thickness T. The specified interval L is the same value as the thickness T.
さらに、右側の脚部55には、貫通孔59が形成されている。貫通孔59の位置は、送風装置30が正規の位置となった際に、右側の支柱41aの凸部43が挿入される位置となっている。換言すると、貫通孔59の位置は、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが開口部56の凹部58に挿入された状態において、凸部43が挿入される位置となっている。ここで、上述のように、本実施の形態に係る室外機100では、並設される熱交換部21の数に応じて、送風装置30の正規の位置が2つ存在することとなる。このため、右側の脚部55は、送風装置30の正規の位置に応じて、2つの貫通孔59を備えている。これらの貫通孔59は、前後方向に規定間隔Lを空けて形成されている。
Furthermore, a through hole 59 is formed in the right leg 55. The position of the through hole 59 is a position where the convex portion 43 of the right column 41a is inserted when the blower 30 is in the normal position. In other words, the position of the through hole 59 is a position where the convex portion 43 is inserted in a state where each of the male screws 45 is inserted into the concave portion 58 of the opening portion 56. Here, as described above, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, there are two regular positions of the blower device 30 according to the number of the heat exchange units 21 arranged in parallel. For this reason, the right leg 55 includes two through holes 59 according to the normal position of the blower 30. These through holes 59 are formed with a specified interval L in the front-rear direction.
室外機100を正面側から見た際、一対の脚部55のうちで左側に位置する脚部55は、右側の脚部55を左右反転させた構成となっている。以下、室外機100を正面側から見た際に一対の脚部55のうちで左側に位置する脚部55を、左側の脚部55と称することとする。
When the outdoor unit 100 is viewed from the front side, the leg portion 55 located on the left side of the pair of leg portions 55 has a configuration in which the right leg portion 55 is reversed left and right. Hereinafter, when the outdoor unit 100 is viewed from the front side, the leg part 55 located on the left side of the pair of leg parts 55 is referred to as a left leg part 55.
すなわち、左側の脚部55は、左側の支柱41aの左側面部と対向する。左側の脚部55には、左側の支柱41aのネジ固定部42と対向する位置のそれぞれに、上述の構成の開口部56を備えている。また、左側の脚部55には、送風装置30が正規の位置となった際に左側の支柱41aの凸部43が挿入される位置に、2つの貫通孔59が形成されている。
That is, the left leg 55 opposes the left side of the left column 41a. The left leg 55 is provided with the opening 56 having the above-described configuration at each position facing the screw fixing portion 42 of the left column 41a. Further, the left leg portion 55 is formed with two through holes 59 at a position where the convex portion 43 of the left column 41a is inserted when the blower device 30 is in the normal position.
続いて、基部41に対するモータ支持部50の取付方法について説明する。
Subsequently, a method for attaching the motor support 50 to the base 41 will be described.

FIG. FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of a portion C in FIG. FIG. 11 shows a state in which the air blower is fixed at a normal position with respect to the heat exchanger in which the three heat exchanging portions are arranged in the front-rear direction in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. FIG. 12 is an enlarged view of a portion D in FIG. FIG. 13 is a side view showing a state in which the blower is disposed at a non-regular position in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention. 9 to 13, the left side of the drawing is the front side of the outdoor unit 100, that is, the front side.
基部41にモータ支持部50を固定する際、まず、送風装置30のファンモータ32をモータ支持部50のモータ取付部51に取り付ける。その後、モータ支持部50の脚部55に設けられた開口部56のそれぞれに、雄ネジ45を挿入する。そして、開口部56に挿入された雄ネジ45のそれぞれを、基部41のネジ固定部42にねじ込む。雄ネジ45のそれぞれがネジ固定部42に完全にねじ込まれていない場合、開口部56の長穴部57に雄ネジ45を通過させることにより、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を筐体1内において前後方向に移動させることができる。すなわち、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが緩んでいる場合、開口部56の長穴部57に雄ネジ45を通過させることにより、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を筐体1内において前後方向に移動させることができる。
When fixing the motor support 50 to the base 41, first, the fan motor 32 of the blower 30 is attached to the motor attachment 51 of the motor support 50. Thereafter, the male screw 45 is inserted into each of the openings 56 provided in the leg portion 55 of the motor support portion 50. Then, each of the male screws 45 inserted into the opening portion 56 is screwed into the screw fixing portion 42 of the base portion 41. When each of the male screws 45 is not completely screwed into the screw fixing portion 42, the male screw 45 is passed through the elongated hole portion 57 of the opening portion 56, so that the blower 30 and the motor support portion 50 are placed inside the housing 1. Can be moved back and forth. That is, when each of the male screws 45 is loose, the blower 30 and the motor support portion 50 are moved in the front-rear direction in the housing 1 by passing the male screw 45 through the elongated hole portion 57 of the opening 56. be able to.
熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20が筐体1に設けられる場合、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を後方へ移動させる。送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を後方へ移動させていくと、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが、開口部56における前側の凹部58の下方に位置することとなる。この状態になると、図9及び図10に示すように、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50の重みによってモータ支持部50が下方へ落下し、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが、開口部56における前側の凹部58に挿入される。
When the heat exchanger 20 in which two heat exchanging portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction is provided in the housing 1, the blower 30 and the motor support portion 50 are moved rearward. When the blower 30 and the motor support portion 50 are moved rearward, each of the male screws 45 is positioned below the front concave portion 58 in the opening 56. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the motor support 50 falls downward due to the weight of the blower 30 and the motor support 50, and each of the male screws 45 is a front recess in the opening 56. 58 is inserted.
この状態では、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を側面視した場合、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50は、送風装置30の重みにより、雄ネジ45のいずれか1つの位置を回転中心として、送風装置30が下方へ落下する方向に回転しようとする。このため、回転中心に位置していない雄ネジ45が挿入されている開口部56の凹部58は、前方又は後方へ移動しようとする。しかしながら、本実施の形態では、上下方向の異なる2箇所に開口部56が設けられている。すなわち、本実施の形態では、上下方向の異なる2箇所に凹部58が設けられている。このため、回転中心に位置していない雄ネジ45が挿入されている開口部56の凹部58は、雄ネジ45によって移動が規制される。したがって、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50は、雄ネジ45のいずれか1つの位置を回転中心として回転しない。
In this state, when the air blower 30 and the motor support 50 are viewed from the side, the air blower 30 and the motor support 50 are blown around the position of any one of the male screws 45 as a rotation center due to the weight of the air blower 30. The device 30 tries to rotate in the direction of dropping downward. For this reason, the recessed part 58 of the opening part 56 in which the male screw 45 which is not located in the rotation center is inserted tends to move forward or backward. However, in the present embodiment, openings 56 are provided at two different locations in the vertical direction. That is, in the present embodiment, the recesses 58 are provided at two different locations in the vertical direction. For this reason, the movement of the concave portion 58 of the opening 56 into which the male screw 45 not positioned at the rotation center is inserted is restricted by the male screw 45. Therefore, the air blower 30 and the motor support part 50 do not rotate with the position of any one of the male screws 45 as the rotation center.
このため、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが開口部56における前側の凹部58に挿入されると、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対して、送風装置30が正規の位置に配置された状態が維持される。この状態において雄ネジ45のそれぞれを基部41のネジ固定部42にねじ込んでいくと、基部41と雄ネジ45の頭部との間にモータ支持部50の脚部55が挟持される。これにより、モータ支持部50は、基部41に固定される。すなわち、モータ支持部50に取り付けられた送風装置30は、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対して正規の位置に固定される。このように、本実施の形態に係る室外機100においては、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対する正規の位置に、送風装置30を容易に固定することができる。
For this reason, when each of the male screws 45 is inserted into the front recess 58 in the opening 56, the blower 30 is properly connected to the heat exchanger 20 in which the two heat exchanging portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. The state arranged at the position of is maintained. When each of the male screws 45 is screwed into the screw fixing portion 42 of the base portion 41 in this state, the leg portion 55 of the motor support portion 50 is sandwiched between the base portion 41 and the head portion of the male screw 45. Thereby, the motor support portion 50 is fixed to the base portion 41. That is, the air blower 30 attached to the motor support part 50 is fixed to a regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which two heat exchange parts 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. As described above, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, the air blower 30 can be easily fixed at a regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which two heat exchanging portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. it can.
また、上述のように、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが開口部56における前側の凹部58に挿入された状態では、雄ネジ45が緩んでいても、送風装置30の位置がずれることが抑制される。このため、本実施の形態に係る室外機100においては、室外機100の運転時又は輸送時等の振動によって雄ネジ45が緩んでいても、送風装置30の位置が維持される。すなわち、本実施の形態に係る室外機100においては、室外機100の運転時又は輸送時等の振動によって雄ネジ45が緩んでいても、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対する正規の位置から、送風装置30が移動することを抑制できる。また、送風装置30が正規の位置にあるときの所望の角度からずれてしまうことも抑制できる。
Further, as described above, in a state where each of the male screws 45 is inserted into the front concave portion 58 in the opening 56, even if the male screw 45 is loosened, the position of the blower 30 is prevented from shifting. For this reason, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, the position of the blower 30 is maintained even if the male screw 45 is loosened due to vibration during operation or transportation of the outdoor unit 100. That is, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, even if the male screw 45 is loosened due to vibration during operation or transportation of the outdoor unit 100, the two heat exchange parts 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. It can suppress that the air blower 30 moves from the regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20. FIG. Moreover, it can also suppress that it deviates from the desired angle when the air blower 30 exists in a regular position.
ここで、上述のように、基部41には凸部43が設けられ、モータ支持部50の脚部55には2つの貫通孔59が形成されている。そして、図9及び図10に示すように、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対して、送風装置30が正規の位置に配置された状態となった際、凸部43が前側の貫通孔59に挿入された状態となる。また、図13に示すように、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対して、送風装置30が正規の位置に配置されていない場合、凸部43が前側の貫通孔59に挿入されずに脚部55と干渉する。このため、雄ネジ45でモータ支持部50と基部41とを固定した際、脚部55がひずんでしまう。したがって、本実施の形態に係る室外機100は、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対して送風装置30が正規の位置に配置されたことを容易に確認することもできる。
Here, as described above, the base portion 41 is provided with the convex portion 43, and the leg portion 55 of the motor support portion 50 is formed with two through holes 59. And as shown in FIG.9 and FIG.10, when the air blower 30 will be in the state arrange | positioned in the regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 with which the two heat exchange parts 21 were arranged in the front-back direction. The convex portion 43 is inserted into the front through hole 59. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 13, when the air blower 30 is not arrange | positioned in the regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 with which the two heat exchange parts 21 were arranged in the front-back direction, the convex part 43 is a front side. It is not inserted into the through hole 59 and interferes with the leg portion 55. For this reason, when the motor support part 50 and the base part 41 are fixed with the male screw 45, the leg part 55 will be distorted. Therefore, the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment easily confirms that the air blower 30 is disposed at the regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which the two heat exchange units 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. You can also
一方、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20が筐体1に設けられる場合、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが緩んでいる状態において、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を前方へ移動させる。送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を前方へ移動させていくと、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが、開口部56における後ろ側の凹部58の下方に位置することとなる。この状態になると、図11及び図12に示すように、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50の重みによってモータ支持部50が下方へ落下し、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが、開口部56における後ろ側の凹部58に挿入される。
On the other hand, when the heat exchanger 20 in which three heat exchange parts 21 are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction is provided in the housing 1, the blower 30 and the motor support part 50 are connected in a state where each of the male screws 45 is loose. Move forward. When the blower 30 and the motor support portion 50 are moved forward, each of the male screws 45 is positioned below the rear concave portion 58 in the opening 56. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the motor support 50 falls downward due to the weight of the blower 30 and the motor support 50, and each of the male screws 45 is located on the rear side of the opening 56. It is inserted into the recess 58.
この状態では、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50を側面視した場合、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50は、送風装置30の重みにより、雄ネジ45のいずれか1つの位置を回転中心として、送風装置30が下方へ落下する方向に回転しようとする。しかしながら、本実施の形態では、上下方向の異なる2箇所に開口部56が設けられている。すなわち、本実施の形態では、上下方向の異なる2箇所に凹部58が設けられている。このため、上述のように、送風装置30及びモータ支持部50は、雄ネジ45のいずれか1つの位置を回転中心として回転しない。
In this state, when the air blower 30 and the motor support 50 are viewed from the side, the air blower 30 and the motor support 50 are blown around the position of any one of the male screws 45 as a rotation center due to the weight of the air blower 30. The device 30 tries to rotate in the direction of dropping downward. However, in the present embodiment, openings 56 are provided at two different locations in the vertical direction. That is, in the present embodiment, the recesses 58 are provided at two different locations in the vertical direction. For this reason, as above-mentioned, the air blower 30 and the motor support part 50 do not rotate centering on any one position of the external thread 45. As shown in FIG.
このため、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが開口部56における後ろ側の凹部58に挿入されると、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対して、送風装置30が正規の位置に配置された状態が維持される。この状態において雄ネジ45のそれぞれを基部41のネジ固定部42にねじ込んでいくと、基部41と雄ネジ45の頭部との間にモータ支持部50の脚部55が挟持される。これにより、モータ支持部50は、基部41に固定される。すなわち、モータ支持部50に取り付けられた送風装置30は、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対して正規の位置に固定される。このように、本実施の形態に係る室外機100においては、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対する正規の位置に、送風装置30を容易に固定することができる。
For this reason, when each of the male screws 45 is inserted into the recess 58 on the rear side of the opening 56, the blower 30 is provided to the heat exchanger 20 in which three heat exchange portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. The state of being placed at the normal position is maintained. When each of the male screws 45 is screwed into the screw fixing portion 42 of the base portion 41 in this state, the leg portion 55 of the motor support portion 50 is sandwiched between the base portion 41 and the head portion of the male screw 45. Thereby, the motor support portion 50 is fixed to the base portion 41. That is, the air blower 30 attached to the motor support part 50 is fixed to a regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which three heat exchange parts 21 are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction. As described above, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, the air blower 30 can be easily fixed at a regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which the three heat exchange units 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. it can.
また、上述のように、雄ネジ45のそれぞれが開口部56における後ろ側の凹部58に挿入された状態では、雄ネジ45が緩んでいても、送風装置30の位置がずれることが抑制される。このため、本実施の形態に係る室外機100においては、室外機100の運転時又は輸送時等の振動によって雄ネジ45が緩んでいても、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対する正規の位置から、送風装置30が移動することを抑制できる。また、送風装置30が正規の位置にあるときの所望の角度からずれてしまうことも抑制できる。
In addition, as described above, in a state where each of the male screws 45 is inserted into the recessed portion 58 on the rear side in the opening portion 56, even if the male screw 45 is loosened, the position of the blower device 30 is suppressed from shifting. . For this reason, in the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment, even if the male screw 45 is loosened due to vibration during operation or transportation of the outdoor unit 100, three heat exchange parts 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. It is possible to suppress the air blower 30 from moving from a normal position with respect to the heat exchanger 20. Moreover, it can also suppress that it deviates from the desired angle when the air blower 30 exists in a regular position.
また、上述のように、基部41には凸部43が設けられ、モータ支持部50の脚部55には2つの貫通孔59が形成されている。そして、図11及び図12に示すように、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対して、送風装置30が正規の位置に配置された状態となった際、凸部43が後ろ側の貫通孔59に挿入された状態となる。また、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対して、送風装置30が正規の位置に配置されていない場合、凸部43が後ろ側の貫通孔59に挿入されずに脚部55と干渉する。このため、雄ネジ45でモータ支持部50と基部41とを固定した際、脚部55がひずんでしまう。したがって、本実施の形態に係る室外機100は、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対して送風装置30が正規の位置に配置されたことを容易に確認することもできる。
Further, as described above, the base portion 41 is provided with the convex portion 43, and the leg portion 55 of the motor support portion 50 is formed with two through holes 59. And as shown in FIG.11 and FIG.12, when the air blower 30 will be in the state arrange | positioned in the regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 with which the three heat exchange parts 21 were arranged in parallel by the front-back direction. Then, the convex portion 43 is inserted into the rear through hole 59. Further, when the air blower 30 is not disposed at a regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which the three heat exchange portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction, the convex portion 43 is inserted into the rear through hole 59. Without interfering with the leg 55. For this reason, when the motor support part 50 and the base part 41 are fixed with the male screw 45, the leg part 55 will be distorted. Therefore, the outdoor unit 100 according to the present embodiment easily confirms that the air blower 30 is disposed at a regular position with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which three heat exchange portions 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. You can also
ここで、同一の開口部56に設けられた2つの凹部58は、前後方向に規定間隔Lを空けて設けられている。また、図11に示すように、熱交換部21の前後方向の厚みは、厚みTとなっている。そして、規定間隔Lは、厚みTと同じ値となっている。このため、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対する送風装置30のプロペラファン31の正規の位置と、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対する送風装置30のプロペラファン31の正規の位置とは、熱交換器20と送風装置30との距離が同じになる。
Here, the two recesses 58 provided in the same opening 56 are provided with a specified interval L in the front-rear direction. As shown in FIG. 11, the thickness of the heat exchanging portion 21 in the front-rear direction is a thickness T. The specified interval L is the same value as the thickness T. For this reason, the normal position of the propeller fan 31 of the blower device 30 with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which the three heat exchanging parts 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction, and the heat in which the two heat exchanging parts 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction. The distance between the heat exchanger 20 and the blower 30 is the same as the normal position of the propeller fan 31 of the blower 30 with respect to the exchanger 20.
送風装置30による騒音の原因の一つは、プロペラファン31の回転によって発生する気流が熱交換器20にぶつかることにある。この際、プロペラファン31と熱交換器20の距離が近ければ近いほど、気流の速度が増大し、騒音も大きくなる。本実施の形態の場合、熱交換部21が前後方向に3つ並設された熱交換器20に対する送風装置30のプロペラファン31の正規の位置と、熱交換部21が前後方向に2つ並設された熱交換器20に対する送風装置30のプロペラファン31の正規の位置とは、熱交換器20と送風装置30との距離が同じになる。このため、異なる数の熱交換部21を並設した熱交換器20を用いた場合でも、送風装置30に起因する騒音を略同等にでき、室外機100の静音性を一定に保つことができる。
One of the causes of noise caused by the blower 30 is that the airflow generated by the rotation of the propeller fan 31 hits the heat exchanger 20. At this time, the closer the distance between the propeller fan 31 and the heat exchanger 20 is, the higher the speed of the airflow and the greater the noise. In the case of the present embodiment, the normal position of the propeller fan 31 of the blower device 30 with respect to the heat exchanger 20 in which three heat exchange parts 21 are arranged in the front-rear direction, and two heat exchange parts 21 in the front-rear direction. The distance between the heat exchanger 20 and the blower 30 is the same as the normal position of the propeller fan 31 of the blower 30 with respect to the installed heat exchanger 20. For this reason, even when using the heat exchanger 20 in which different numbers of heat exchanging units 21 are arranged in parallel, the noise caused by the blower 30 can be made substantially equal, and the silence of the outdoor unit 100 can be kept constant. .
なお、本実施の形態で示した室外機100は、あくまでも一例である。例えば、筐体1に、異なる数の熱交換部21を並設した3種類以上の熱交換器20を搭載できる構成としてもよい。この場合、開口部56のそれぞれに、熱交換器20の種類と同数の凹部58を、規定間隔Lずつ空けて設ければよい。また例えば、筐体1に搭載できる熱交換器20を1種類としてもよい。この場合、開口部56のそれぞれに、1つの凹部58を設ければよい。メンテナンス等の際、正規の位置から、送風装置30を移動させることができる。

For example, it is good also as a structure which can mount in the housing | casing 1 the three or more types of heat exchanger 20 which arranged the heat exchange part 21 of different number in parallel. In this case, the same number of recesses 58 as the type of the heat exchanger 20 may be provided in each of the openings 56 with a predetermined interval L therebetween. For example, the heat exchanger 20 that can be mounted on the housing 1 may be one type. In this case, one recess 58 may be provided in each of the openings 56. During maintenance or the like, the blower 30 can be moved from a regular position.
また例えば、開口部56の数も任意である。脚部55のそれぞれに設けられる開口部56は、少なくとも1つあればよい。この際、2つの開口部56が上下方向に異なる位置に配置されていれば、上述のように、雄ネジ45の1つを回転中心として送風装置30が回転することを抑制できる。すなわち、正規の位置から送風装置30が移動することを抑制でき、送風装置30が正規の位置にあるときの所望の角度からずれてしまうことも抑制できる。
Also, for example, the number of openings 56 is arbitrary. There may be at least one opening 56 provided in each of the legs 55. At this time, if the two openings 56 are arranged at different positions in the vertical direction, as described above, the rotation of the blower 30 around one of the male screws 45 can be suppressed. That is, it can suppress that the air blower 30 moves from a regular position, and it can also suppress that it deviates from the desired angle when the air blower 30 exists in a regular position.
