Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of a separation type air conditioner.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As shown in FIG. 4, an outdoor unit of a conventional separation type air conditioner is provided with an outdoor heat exchanger 12 on a main body base 11, and during heating operation, condensed water immediately below the outdoor heat exchanger 12 is frozen. Then, since the heating capacity is lowered, the side plate 14 of the outdoor heat exchanger 12 is attached to the rising edge 13 of the main body base 11 to form the predetermined gap a on the main body base 11.

Further, when a drop impact is applied during transportation of the outdoor unit, the central portion of the outdoor heat exchanger 12 buckles as indicated by the dotted line, and the fins come into contact with the main body base 11 to deteriorate drainage of dehumidified water. Not only this, but gas leaks may occur due to deformation of the hairpin of the refrigerant pipe, so during transportation, a cushioning member 15 made of a cushioning material such as Styrofoam is attached to the bottom of the body base 11 as well as the body base 11. A cushioning member 16 is provided between the outdoor heat exchanger 12 and the central portion thereof.

However, the cushioning member 16 needs to be removed one by one when the outdoor unit is installed, and the installation work is troublesome, and if the cushioning member 16 is left as it is, drainage of dehumidified water during operation will occur. It had a defect such as deterioration.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been devised in view of the above-mentioned problems of the conventional type, and prevents buckling of the outdoor heat exchanger against a fall impact during transportation, and also performs outdoor heat exchange during operation. The purpose is to provide a structure for facilitating drainage of condensed water from the vessel.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention for solving the above problems has the following structure. That is, in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner in which an outdoor heat exchanger is provided on a main body base with a predetermined gap, the main body base immediately below the central portion of the outdoor heat exchanger faces the same heat exchanger. While forming a supporting protrusion having a predetermined height, a buffering protrusion corresponding to the supporting protrusion is formed on a buffering member provided under the main body base during transportation.

[0007]

[Action]

 In the above structure, since the support protrusion formed on the main body base is formed at a predetermined height facing the outdoor heat exchanger, there is a slight gap between the outdoor heat exchanger and the support protrusion. Has been formed. In addition, since the shock-absorbing projection located directly below the above-mentioned support projection is also formed on the shock-absorbing member mounted when the outdoor unit is transported, the shock-resisting projection can improve the overall impact resistance of the main body and The support protrusion of the base can also improve the strength against buckling of the main body base.

Therefore, even if a drop impact during transportation is applied to the outdoor heat exchanger, it is received by the above-mentioned support projections immediately thereunder, and the cushioning effect of the cushioning projections of the cushioning member therebelow causes this shock. Since the shock is absorbed, buckling of the outdoor heat exchanger can be prevented.

Further, when the outdoor unit is installed, a predetermined gap is secured between the outdoor heat exchanger and the support protrusion of the main body base, so that there is no drainage property of the condensed water from the outdoor heat exchanger. It does not hinder.

[0010]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is a main body base of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and a rising edge 2 of the main body base 1 has an outdoor heat exchange. The side plate 31 of the vessel 3 is attached, and a predetermined gap a1 is formed between the side plate 31 of the vessel 3 and the main body base 1 immediately below the outdoor heat exchanger 3 of the outdoor side. Further, a support projection 4 of a predetermined height facing the heat exchanger 3 is provided on the main body base 1 directly below the center of the outdoor side heat exchanger 3 of the main body base 1 by a drawing process or the like. . A slight gap a2 is formed between the support protrusion 4 and the outdoor heat exchanger 3. Further, a cushioning member 5 provided below the main body base 1 at the time of transportation is provided with a cushioning protrusion 6 located immediately below the supporting protrusion 4 and having a predetermined height.

With the above configuration, the cushioning member 5 is attached to the lower portion of the main body base 1 during transportation of the outdoor unit, and the cushioning projections 6 formed on the cushioning member 5 improve the overall shock resistance. The support protrusions 4 of the main body base 1 can also improve the strength of the main body base 1 against buckling. As a result, the shock during transportation can be absorbed, and the required cushioning effect can be obtained. Here, even if a drop shock is applied to the outdoor heat exchanger 3, the shock is received by the support protrusion 4 immediately below it. In addition, since the shock is absorbed by the cushioning effect of the cushioning projection 6 on the lower side, the outdoor heat exchanger 3 is not damaged, and it is possible to prevent the buckling as in the conventional type.

When the outdoor unit is installed, a predetermined gap a 1 is formed between the outdoor heat exchanger 3 and the main body base 1, and a predetermined gap is also formed between the outdoor protrusions and the support protrusion 4. A gap a2 is secured. As a result, the drainage of the condensed water from the outdoor heat exchanger 3 during the heating operation is not hindered, and the drainage can be quickly performed through the predetermined drainage channel of the main body base 1.

[0013]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention, shock-absorbing projections are formed on the shock-absorbing member that is mounted when the outdoor unit is transported, and overall shock resistance can be improved, and the main body base is supported. The protrusion can also improve the strength against buckling of the main body base. Then, even if a drop impact during transportation is applied to the outdoor heat exchanger, it is received by the above-mentioned support protrusions immediately below it, and this impact is absorbed by the cushioning effect of the buffer protrusions on the lower side. The outdoor heat exchanger is not damaged in any way. As a result, it is possible to prevent buckling of the outdoor heat exchanger as in the conventional type. In addition, since a specified gap is secured between the outdoor heat exchanger and the support protrusions after installation, there is no problem in draining the condensed water from the outdoor heat exchanger, and there is no need for prompt drainage through the specified drainage channel. It can be drained to the outside, and the capacity of the outdoor unit during heating operation can be fully exerted.
