A spacer 11 is interposed to correct the gap almost equally on the left and right sides.

(Function) When installing each front plate 3, 4, 5, these front plates 3,
By interposing the spacer 11 in the left and right gaps between 4 and 5 and each of the side plates 2 and 2, the left and right gaps can be reliably corrected, and these left and right gaps can always be aligned almost equally. .

The illustrated main body casing of the air conditioner includes a bottom frame 1 and 1
A pair of side plates 2, 2 and three front plates 3, 4, 5 are formed into a box shape by a back plate 6 and a top plate 7, while two partition walls 8, 9 are provided inside with predetermined upper and lower sides. The bottom frame 1 supports equipment such as a compressor E, an accumulator, and the like.
The lower front plate 3 is disposed on the front surface thereof, and the intermediate front plate 4, which supports the heat exchanger F and constitutes a suction grill, is disposed on the upper side of the lower partition wall 8. Also, a fan G is provided under the upper partition wall 9.
The upper front plate 5 is disposed in front of the fan motor and supports the fan motor.

Further, screw holes (not shown) are provided in the front surface of the lower partition wall 8 and the front frame of the heat exchanger F, respectively. The lower front plate 3 is provided at its upper end with through holes (not shown) corresponding to the respective screw holes of the lower partition wall 8, and at its lower end, the front end of the bottom frame 1 is provided. A locking portion 3a that engages with the edge is provided. In addition, through holes (not shown) corresponding to the respective screw holes of the front frame of the heat exchanger F are provided at the upper end of the intermediate front plate 4 and the lower end of the upper front plate 5, and A locking portion 4a that engages with the front edge of the lower partition wall 8 is provided at the lower end of the front plate 4, and
An engaging portion 5 a that engages with the front edge of the upper partition wall 9 is provided at the upper end of the upper front plate 5 .

Each of the front plates 3 to 5 has a locking part 3a provided at the lower end of the lower front plate 3 on the front edge of the bottom frame 1, and a locking part 3a provided at the upper end of the upper front plate 5. 5a
are engaged with the front edge of the partition wall 9, and the locking portions 4a provided at the lower end of the intermediate front plate 4 are engaged with the front edge of the partition wall 8, and each of the locking portions 4a provided on the front plates 3 to 5 The heat exchanger F is removably mounted by screwing the mounting screws 10 into the respective screw holes provided in the partition wall 8 and the front frame of the heat exchanger F through the through holes.

Further, a rising piece 30 is provided on the peripheral edge of each of the front plates 3 to 5 so as to face the back side.

Therefore, the present invention intervenes in the gaps K and K between each of the front plates 3 to 5 and the side plates 2 and 2 on both sides of each of the front plates 3 to 5. A spacer 11 is inserted to correct the left and right sides almost equally.

This spacer 11 is made of synthetic resin and is detachably attached to the upright piece 30 of each of the front plates 3 to 5, and is attached to the upright piece 30 of each of the front plates.
A receiving recess 30a recessed from the tip edge and a locking hole 3
0b, and the spacer 11 is formed by a spacer main body 11a intervening in the gaps K, K, and a clamping piece 11b bent forward inwardly from the rear end of the main body 11a. The fitting groove 11c between the main body 11a and the clamping piece 11b is fitted into the upright piece 30 from the receiving recess 30a.
