Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and more particularly to a structure of a synthetic resin cover mounted on a bottom plate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional outdoor unit for an air conditioner has, for example, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a flange 2a on which a compressor, a heat exchanger and the like (not shown) are mounted and which are erected on four sides. A cover 3 made of synthetic resin having a bottom plate 2 having a screw hole 2b on at least one side thereof, a boss 6 having an insertion hole 6a corresponding to the screw hole 2b, and a lattice-shaped outlet 3a provided on the front surface. And the cover 3 by the screw 7 inserted through the insertion hole 6a.
Is fixed to the screw hole 2b, and the compressor, heat exchanger, etc. are protected by the cover 3. With the above-mentioned configuration, the cover 3 is made of synthetic resin, so that the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is advantageous in terms of cost. However, since the cover 3 is made of synthetic resin, the strength is insufficient, and the screw hole 2b and the insertion hole 6a are not positioned so that the screw hole 2b and the insertion hole 6a are not positioned. Therefore, there is a problem in that workability when fixing the cover 3 to the flange 2a by the screw 7 is poor.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a synthetic resin cover for protecting a compressor, a heat exchanger, etc. is provided with a projecting rib to improve strength, and the rib is brought into contact with a bottom plate. It is an object of the present invention to provide an outdoor unit for an air conditioner that improves workability when fixing the cover to the flange of the bottom plate by positioning the bottom plate and the cover.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, in which a compressor, a heat exchanger, etc. are mounted and a screw is provided on at least one side of a flange erected on four sides. It is composed of a bottom plate having holes and a boss having insertion holes corresponding to the screw holes and a cover having a lattice-shaped outlet on the front surface, and the screws inserted through the insertion holes are screwed into the screw holes. In the outdoor unit of the air conditioner in which the cover is fixed to the bottom plate by wearing, a plurality of vertically extending ribs are provided on the back surface of the cover corresponding to the flanges, and the ribs are the same flanges. It is characterized by abutting. Further, the boss and the rib are formed at substantially the same height. Further, a large number of the ribs are provided. In addition, the rib,
It is characterized in that it is formed integrally with the cover. In addition, a curved surface portion is continuously formed on a lower portion of the cover. In addition, a substantially V-shaped bottom surface is continuously formed at the lower end of the curved surface portion, and the bottom plate is placed on the bottom surface. Further, an inclined surface formed by lowering the tip of the bottom surface is formed on the top surface of the tip portion of the bottom surface.

[0005]

With the above construction, the strength of the synthetic resin cover for protecting the compressor, heat exchanger and the like can be reinforced, and the cover and the bottom plate flange can be easily positioned, and the cover can be screwed. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is improved in workability when fixing the air conditioner to the bottom plate.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1 is an outdoor unit body of an air conditioner, 2 is a bottom plate made of a steel plate on which a compressor, a heat exchanger, etc. (not shown) are mounted, and 2a stands on the four sides of the bottom plate 2. The provided flanges 2b are a plurality of screw holes provided on at least one side of the flange 2a. 3 is a cover made of synthetic resin which is attached to the bottom plate 1 to protect a compressor, a heat exchanger and the like (not shown), 3a is a lattice-shaped outlet provided on the front surface of the cover 3, and 3b is the same. A curved surface portion continuously formed in the lower part of the cover 3, 3c is a substantially V-shaped bottom surface continuously formed at the lower end of the curved surface portion 3b, and 3d is a tip portion of the bottom surface 3c and a tip portion of the bottom surface 3c. It is an inclined surface formed by lowering. The curved surface portion 3b has a shape configured to improve the molding conditions of the cover 3 and to improve the strength, and to improve the design of the main body 1. By mounting the bottom plate 2 on the bottom surface 3c, the bottom surface 3c is provided with a height position of the screw hole 2b provided in the bottom plate 2 and a boss described later corresponding to the screw hole 2b. The height position of the insertion hole is aligned with the position of the insertion hole. When the bottom plate 2 is slidably placed on the bottom surface 3c, the inclined surface 3d smoothly slides the bottom plate 2 without the corners of the bottom plate 2 contacting the tips of the bottom surface 3c. It is shaped so that it can be placed. 4 is the cover 3
And the back and side portions of the main body 1 are continuously formed to form a compressor, a heat exchanger, etc. (not shown) together with the cover 3.
It is a synthetic resin back cover that protects the. Reference numeral 5 is a protruding rib that is integrally provided on the back surface of the cover 3 and extends in the vertical direction so as to correspond to the bottom surface 3c. A large number of ribs 5 are formed integrally with the cover 3 so that the size and shape of the ribs 5 are accurately finished, so that the strength of the cover 3 is improved and the vertical portion of the rib 5 is brought into contact with the bottom surface 3c. The cover 3 and the bottom plate 2 are positioned to have a shape configured to improve workability when fixing the cover 3 to the bottom plate 2 with a screw described later. Reference numeral 6 denotes a boss corresponding to the screw hole 2b and integrally formed with the cover 3 at substantially the same height as the rib 5, and 6a is provided at substantially the center of the boss 6 and allows a screw described later to be inserted therethrough. It is an insertion hole. Since the boss 6 is formed to have substantially the same height as the rib 5, the boss 6 and the rib 5 and the flange 2a are formed.
The cover 3 and the bottom plate 2 can be fixed to each other with a screw described later in a state where they are securely brought into close contact with each other. Reference numeral 7 denotes a screw that is inserted into the insertion hole 6a and screwed into the screw hole 2a to fix the cover 3 to the bottom plate 2.

With the above structure, the bottom plate 2 is slidably placed on the bottom surface 3c, and the flange 2a and the ribs 2a and the tips of the boss 6 are brought into contact with each other, so that the screw hole 2b and the screw hole 2b are connected to each other. The insertion hole 6a is positioned, and the cover 3 is fixed to the bottom plate 2 by being screwed into the screw hole 2b by the screw 7 inserted through the insertion hole 6a. Thereby, the bottom surface 3c
The bottom plate 2 is placed on top of the screw hole and the flange 2a, the rib 2a and the tip of the boss 6 are brought into contact with each other to form the screw hole.
Since the 2b and the insertion hole 6a are positioned, the workability when fixing the cover 3 to the bottom plate 2 with the screw 7 is improved, and the strength of the cover 3 is improved by providing the rib 2a. It becomes an outdoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, the compressor,
A synthetic resin cover that protects the heat exchanger and the like is provided with protruding ribs to improve the strength, and the ribs are brought into contact with the flange of the bottom plate, and the bottom plate is formed on the bottom surface continuously formed on the cover. By placing and positioning the bottom plate and the cover, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is improved in workability when fixing the cover to the flange of the bottom plate.
