Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly to a partition that separates an outdoor box and an indoor box.

Figures 1, 2 and 3 show a conventional integrated air conditioner, in which 1 is an outdoor box, 2 is an outdoor fan electric motor,
3 is an outdoor blower, 4 is an outdoor heat exchanger, 5 is an indoor outer box, 6 is a compressor room, 7 is an indoor heat exchanger, 8 is an electric motor for indoor ventilation, 9 is an indoor blower, 10 is a compressor, 14 12 is a refrigerant pipe, and 12 is a heat insulating material. The outdoor outer box 1 has a partition (side plate) 13 that separates it from the indoor outer box 5.
A pipe through hole 15 through which the pipe 4 passes is formed.

Thus, the outdoor outer box 1, the indoor outer box 5, and the compressor chamber 6 are fixed in advance. Then,
The refrigerant pipe 14 extending from the outdoor heat exchanger 4 has a pipe through hole 1 at the part where the heat insulating material 12 is attached.
5 and connected to the indoor heat exchanger 7 and compressor 10 to form a refrigeration cycle.

In this case, the pipe through hole 15 is a large hole in order to make it easier to fit the heat insulating material 12, so that after the refrigeration cycle is assembled, heat is dissipated between the outdoor outer box 1 and the indoor outer box 5. It is necessary to completely partition the piping in order to prevent ingress and egress, so the gap 16 between the pipe passage hole 15 and the heat insulating material 12 is filled with putty.

Therefore, with conventional air conditioners, it is necessary to putty work on the piping holes, and the refrigerant piping must be passed through the piping holes using a narrow space, making it difficult to work. In order to make it easier to pass the refrigerant pipe through the hole, it was made into a straight pipe, which increased the number of brazing points before and after the pipe passage hole, which had the disadvantage of poor productivity.

The present invention was made in order to solve such conventional problems, and the present invention is based on a lower partition plate provided on the outdoor outer box and a partition that separates the outdoor outer box and the indoor outer box in an air conditioner. and an upper partition plate provided on the top plate for the outdoor outer box, and these upper and lower partition plates are characterized in that they have a cutout at their connecting ends to form a pipe passage hole.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 4, 5 and 6. In FIGS. 4 to 6, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 3 are given the same reference numerals, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, the outdoor outer box 21 has a lower partition plate 22a integrally, and a top plate 2 for this outdoor outer box 22a.
3 integrally has an upper partition plate 22b, and these upper and lower partition plates have cutouts 24a, 24 at their connecting ends.
b, and these notches together form a pipe through hole 25 having a shape substantially similar to the external shape of the heat insulating material 12 attached to the refrigerant pipe 14.

Next, the assembly procedure will be explained. As in the conventional case, the outdoor outer box 21, the indoor outer box 5, and the compressor chamber 6 are fixed in advance. Then, the outdoor heat exchanger 4, the indoor exchanger 7 and the compressor 1
0, a part (lower half) of the heat insulating material 12 attached to the refrigerant pipe 14 is removed from the outdoor outer box 2.
It is attached so that it fits into the notch 24a of the lower partition plate 22a provided in 1. As shown in FIG. 6, an upper partition plate 22b provided on the top plate 23
However, the notch 24b presses down the other part (upper half) of the heat insulating material 12, and the outdoor outer box 2 is removed.
It is attached to 1 with a tuft pin screw.

Therefore, according to such a configuration, the heat insulating material 12 attached to the refrigerant pipe 14 and the upper and lower partition plates 22
Since there is no gap between the notches 24a and 24b of the lower partition plate 22b, there is no need for putty work, and the refrigerant pipe 14 can be attached by simply pushing it into the notch 24a of the lower partition plate 22a from above, improving work efficiency. Since the refrigerant pipe 14 can be installed even if it is bent, the number of brazing parts is reduced and productivity is improved.
Preferably, the upper partition plate 22b and the top plate 23 are integrally constructed, thereby making it easier to manufacture the outdoor box 21.
