Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a main body structure of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The main body of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner comprises a base 22 having legs 21 on the left and right as shown in FIG. 4, and a box body 23. The box body 23 is an outer case 24 and this outer case. It is composed of a top plate 25 which covers the upper opening surface of 24. A drain pipe 26 is attached to the lower part of the base 22 for discharging water droplets generated inside the box and rainwater flowing from the outside. Further, an air inlet (not shown) is formed behind the outer case 22, and an air outlet 27 is formed in the front.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, when installing multiple outdoor units as shown in Fig. 4, there is no problem as long as there is enough space to place the outdoor units side by side, but it is difficult to secure the installation space in, for example, an apartment house. , They cannot be placed side by side, so they must be placed one above the other. However, since the outdoor unit as shown in Fig. 4 may become unstable when stacked due to the structure of its box body, a special mounting device or the like must be prepared, and it takes time and effort for construction. Therefore, there was a problem that the cost required for installation would increase. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that can solve these problems.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is provided on the left side of the base in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner including a base whose main body has legs on the lower left and right sides, and a box. The legs are inverted L-shaped, the legs provided on the right side are L-shaped, and both legs are attached to the left and right ends of the base so that the inner sides of the legs are outside the left and right sides of the box. I decided to provide it. Further, in an outdoor unit having a drainage pipe in the lower part of the base, when the outdoor units are stacked, the recessed part that accommodates the drainage pipe of the upper outdoor unit or allows water to flow down from the drainage pipe is provided in the box body. I decided to form it on the upper part of.

[0005]

[Action]

 With the above configuration, the legs provided on the left side of the base have an inverted L-shape, and the legs provided on the right side have an L-shape, and the inner side surfaces of both legs are outside the left and right side surfaces of the box body. When the outdoor units are stacked, the main body of the lower outdoor unit can be held by the legs of the upper outdoor unit, and the displacement of the upper outdoor unit can be eliminated. In addition, in an outdoor unit with a drain pipe in the lower part of the base, since the recess for accommodating the drain pipe is provided in the upper part of the main body, the outdoor unit can be stacked without pressing the drain pipe. Furthermore, since holes for screwing are provided on both sides of the legs and the top plate, the upper and lower outdoor units that are stacked can be integrated, and the upper outdoor unit can move significantly due to an earthquake or the like. Can be prevented.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view for explaining the main structure of the outdoor unit. The main body is composed of a base 1 and a box body 2, and the box body 2 blows forward an air inlet (not shown) to the rear. It comprises an outer case 4 having an outlet 3, and a top plate 5 covering the upper opening surface of the outer case 4. There are legs 6a and 6b at the bottom of the base 1, but the left leg 6a has an inverted L-shape and the right leg 6b has an L-shape. The inner side surfaces of the two legs 6a and 6b are welded to both ends of the base 1 so as to be outside the left and right side surfaces of the top plate 5. Further, a plurality of holes 7 for screwing, which are used when the outdoor units are stacked, are provided on the side surfaces of the legs 6a and 6b. Since the drain pipe 8 as shown in FIG. 2 is connected to the center of the lower portion of the base 1, the outdoor units cannot be stacked if the top plate 5 is flat. Therefore, the top plate 5 is formed with a recess 9 for accommodating a drain pipe 8 and a drain hose connected to the drain pipe 8. Holes 10 are formed on the left and right sides of the top plate 5 to correspond to the holes 7 on the legs 6a and 6b when the outdoor units are stacked. Although not shown, a screwing hole corresponding to the hole 10 on the top plate 5 side is also formed in the upper part of the outer body 4 with which the inner surface of the top plate 5 contacts.

The above is the means for stacking and using the outdoor units, but of course there is no problem even if only one unit is installed. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the outdoor units configured as described above are stacked in the same direction. When the outdoor units are stacked, the upper legs 6a, 6b sandwich the lower top plate 5, and the drain pipe (8) attached to the upper base is a recess formed in the lower top plate 5. Fits in 9. Since this concave portion 9 extends to the front surface of the top plate 5, it is possible to drain water as it is, but it is also possible to connect a drain hose to the drain pipe (8) which fits in the concave portion 9 and hang it forward. In this way, the drainage from the upper part does not need to wet the lower outer shell 4 and the outlet 3. The position and shape of the recess 9 are not limited to those shown in the figure. 11 is a screw used to fix the upper outdoor unit and the lower outdoor unit. The upper outdoor unit does not move easily in normal use, but if it is screwed on, it will be safe as a countermeasure against earthquakes.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 In the case of the outdoor unit as described above, when the outdoor units are stacked, the legs of the upper outdoor unit sandwich the lower outdoor unit, so even if there is some vibration, the upper outdoor unit remains It does not cause displacement, and since it has a structure that the upper and lower outdoor units can be fixed integrally by screwing, it excels in safety and operates in a stacked state without preparing a special mounting base. Therefore, it is possible to install multiple outdoor units even in areas where the installation area is not sufficient.
