Description

本発明は、空気調和装置の室外機に関する。   The present invention relates to an outdoor unit for an air conditioner.

空気調和装置の室外機は、屋外に設置され、ガス冷媒用の冷媒配管及び液冷媒用の冷媒配管によって室内機と接続されている。室外機には、圧縮機、室外ファン、室外熱交換器の他、ガス閉鎖弁及び液閉鎖弁等が設けられている。これらの閉鎖弁は、ガス冷媒用の冷媒配管及び液冷媒用の冷媒配管それぞれに接続されている。この構成により、低温液体の冷媒は液閉鎖弁を介して、また高温気体の冷媒はガス閉鎖弁を介して、室外機と室内機との間でやり取りされる。   The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed outdoors, and is connected to the indoor unit by a refrigerant pipe for gas refrigerant and a refrigerant pipe for liquid refrigerant. The outdoor unit includes a compressor, an outdoor fan, an outdoor heat exchanger, a gas closing valve, a liquid closing valve, and the like. These shut-off valves are connected to a refrigerant pipe for gas refrigerant and a refrigerant pipe for liquid refrigerant, respectively. With this configuration, the refrigerant of the low temperature liquid is exchanged between the outdoor unit and the indoor unit via the liquid closing valve, and the refrigerant of the high temperature gas is exchanged via the gas closing valve.

また、上記閉鎖弁は、例えば特許文献1(特開平6−201160号公報)に開示されているように、各冷媒配管が室外機の背面方向に延びるようにして接続され、室外機の外壁に設けられている。   Further, as described in, for example, Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 6-201160), the shut-off valve is connected so that each refrigerant pipe extends in the back direction of the outdoor unit, and is connected to the outer wall of the outdoor unit. Is provided.

ところで、室外機の設置場所の環境等の条件によっては、上述した冷媒配管を室外機の背面方向にではなく、例えば室外機の下方向や正面方向(つまり、室外機の前方向)等に延ばす必要が生じる場合がある。しかしながら、上記特許文献1に係る室外機では、閉鎖弁に接続された冷媒配管は室外機の背面方向(つまり、室外機の後方)にしか延ばすことができず、背面方向以外の他の方向へと冷媒配管を自由に取り回すことができない。   By the way, depending on the conditions such as the environment of the outdoor unit installation location, the refrigerant pipe described above is not extended in the back direction of the outdoor unit, but, for example, in the downward direction or the front direction of the outdoor unit (that is, the forward direction of the outdoor unit). There may be a need. However, in the outdoor unit according to Patent Document 1, the refrigerant pipe connected to the shut-off valve can extend only in the back direction of the outdoor unit (that is, behind the outdoor unit), and in other directions other than the back direction. And the refrigerant piping cannot be routed freely.

特に、冷媒配管を室外機の下方向へと延ばす場合には、閉鎖弁に付着している結露水が室外機外部かつ下方向へと漏れてしまう恐れもある。そのため、室外機が天井から吊り下げられるようにして設置される場合には、結露水に対する対策も必要となる。   In particular, when the refrigerant pipe is extended downward in the outdoor unit, the condensed water adhering to the shut-off valve may leak outward and downward in the outdoor unit. For this reason, when the outdoor unit is installed so as to be suspended from the ceiling, it is necessary to take measures against condensed water.

(1-3) Closing Valve Cover The closing valve cover 40 covers the gas closing valve 30a and the liquid closing valve 30b, the introduced water condensation hole 20c, and a part of each refrigerant pipe L1a, L1b from the outside of the main body casing 11. The main body casing 11 is mounted on the right side surface 11d. The closing valve cover 40 is made of, for example, a nonflammable resin. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 and the like, each of the closing valves 30a and 30b to be covered by the closing valve cover 40 protrudes from the right side surface 11d of the main body casing 11 to the outside of the casing 11, The closing valve cover 40 has a convex shape from the right side surface 11 d side toward the outside of the casing 11 when mounted on the main body casing 11.

特に、図4及び図5に示すように、閉鎖弁カバー40の下部には、板状部41が設けられている。この板状部41は、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11に装着された際、その先端部が結露水導入孔20cの下辺に届く程度に、閉鎖弁カバー40側から本体ケーシング11の右側面11d側へと突出している。この板状部41は、閉鎖弁カバー40の本体ケーシング11への装着時、各閉鎖弁30a,30bから下向きに延びる各冷媒配管L1a,L1bの一部分を本体ケーシング11の右側面11dとで挟み込むことで、各閉鎖弁30a,30bからの結露水を結露水導入孔20cに導入する結露水案内部50となる(図4及び図6参照)。即ち、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11に装着されることによって、板状部41は結露水案内部50となる。そして、結露水案内部50、即ち板状部41は、結露水を本体ケーシング11の内部に導くように、略水平方向に対し所定角度傾斜している。具体的には、結露水案内部50は、図4に示すように、本体ケーシング11の外方から結露水導入孔20c側に延びるに連れて、徐々に低くなるように傾斜している。   In particular, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a plate-like portion 41 is provided at the lower portion of the closing valve cover 40. The plate-like portion 41 has a right side surface 11d of the main body casing 11 from the closing valve cover 40 side so that when the closing valve cover 40 is attached to the main body casing 11, the tip portion reaches the lower side of the condensed water introduction hole 20c. Protrudes to the side. The plate-like portion 41 sandwiches a part of each refrigerant pipe L1a, L1b extending downward from each shutoff valve 30a, 30b with the right side surface 11d of the main casing 11 when the shutoff valve cover 40 is attached to the main casing 11. Thus, the dew condensation water guide unit 50 introduces the dew condensation water from the respective shut-off valves 30a and 30b into the dew condensation water introduction hole 20c (see FIGS. 4 and 6). That is, when the closing valve cover 40 is attached to the main body casing 11, the plate-like portion 41 becomes the condensed water guide portion 50. And the dew condensation water guide part 50, ie, the plate-shaped part 41, inclines the predetermined angle with respect to the substantially horizontal direction so that dew condensation water may be guide | induced to the inside of the main body casing 11. FIG. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the dew condensation water guide portion 50 is inclined so as to gradually become lower as it extends from the outside of the main body casing 11 toward the dew condensation water introduction hole 20 c.

このような閉鎖弁カバー40の構成により、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11に装着された際、閉鎖弁カバー40の板状部41の先端部は結露水導入孔20cに届き、図6に示すように結露水導入孔20cの上方に位置している各閉鎖弁30a,30bから落下してくる結露水は、閉鎖弁カバー40の板状部41である結露水案内部50によって受け止められる。その後、この結露水は、結露水導入孔20cを介して本体ケーシング11の機械室S1内部へと流れていく。   With such a configuration of the closing valve cover 40, when the closing valve cover 40 is mounted on the main body casing 11, the tip of the plate-like portion 41 of the closing valve cover 40 reaches the condensed water introduction hole 20c, and is shown in FIG. As described above, the dew condensation water falling from the respective shutoff valves 30 a and 30 b located above the dew condensation water introduction hole 20 c is received by the dew condensation water guide part 50 which is the plate-like part 41 of the shutoff valve cover 40. Thereafter, the condensed water flows into the machine room S1 of the main casing 11 through the condensed water introduction hole 20c.

更に、結露水案内部50となる閉鎖弁カバー40の板状部41には、図5に示すように、2つの切欠41a,41bが形成されている。切欠41a,41bは、板状部41のうち、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11に装着された際に各冷媒配管L1a,L1bに対応する箇所に形成されている。そして、切欠41a,41bは、防露筒L11a,L11bが巻かれた各冷媒配管L1a,L1bの部分の外径よりも若干小さめの大きさに形成されている。これらの切欠41a,41bには、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11に装着された時、図6に示すように、対応する冷媒配管L1a,L1bそれぞれが防露筒L11a,L11bごと嵌め込まれることとなる。つまり、切欠41a,41bは、防露筒L11a,L11bに若干食い込んだ状態で、冷媒配管L1a,L1bそれぞれを固定する。従って、本実施形態に係る切欠41a,41bは、閉鎖弁カバー40の本体ケーシング11への装着時に冷媒配管L1a,L1bを固定するための固定部としての役割を担う。   Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, two notches 41a and 41b are formed in the plate-like portion 41 of the shut-off valve cover 40 serving as the condensed water guide portion 50. The notches 41a and 41b are formed in the plate-like portion 41 at locations corresponding to the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b when the closing valve cover 40 is attached to the main casing 11. The notches 41a and 41b are formed to be slightly smaller than the outer diameters of the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b around which the dew prevention tubes L11a and L11b are wound. In these notches 41a and 41b, when the shut-off valve cover 40 is mounted on the main casing 11, as shown in FIG. 6, the corresponding refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b are fitted together with the dew protection tubes L11a and L11b, respectively. Become. That is, the notches 41a and 41b fix the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b, respectively, in a state where they are slightly biting into the dew protection tubes L11a and L11b. Therefore, the notches 41a and 41b according to the present embodiment serve as fixing portions for fixing the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b when the closing valve cover 40 is attached to the main body casing 11.

(1−4)突出部
突出部60は、図4及び図5に示すように、本体ケーシング11の右側面11dにおける結露水導入孔20c付近において、当該右側面11dから閉鎖弁カバー40側(つまり、本体ケーシング11の外方)に突出した、板状の部材である。突出部60は、本体ケーシング11と同様、板金や樹脂で形成されており、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11の右側面11dに装着された際、結露水案内部50の下部に位置している。特に、本実施形態に係る突出部60は、図4に示すように、結露水案内部50と同様に略水平方向に対し所定角度傾斜しており、閉鎖弁カバー40が本体ケーシング11の右側面11dに装着された際には、結露水案内部50の下部において結露水案内部50に接触するようにして位置することとなる。つまり、突出部60は、結露水案内部50となる閉鎖弁カバー40の板状部41の下部において、結露水導入孔20c側から閉鎖弁カバー40側(つまり、本体ケーシング11の外方側)へと突出するに連れて徐々に高くなるように傾斜しており、その傾斜角度は、板状部41とほぼ同じである。
(1-4) Protruding portion As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the protruding portion 60 is located near the dew condensation water introduction hole 20 c in the right side surface 11 d of the main body casing 11 from the right side surface 11 d to the closing valve cover 40 side (that is, , A plate-like member protruding outward from the main casing 11. The protruding portion 60 is formed of sheet metal or resin, like the main body casing 11, and is positioned below the condensed water guide portion 50 when the closing valve cover 40 is mounted on the right side surface 11 d of the main body casing 11. . In particular, as shown in FIG. 4, the protruding portion 60 according to the present embodiment is inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the substantially horizontal direction in the same manner as the condensed water guide portion 50, and the closing valve cover 40 is on the right side surface of the main body casing 11. When attached to 11d, it is positioned so as to be in contact with the condensed water guide 50 at the lower part of the condensed water guide 50. That is, the protrusion 60 is located below the dew condensation water introduction hole 20c side from the dew condensation water introduction hole 20c side (that is, the outer side of the main body casing 11) in the lower part of the plate-like portion 41 of the closure valve cover 40 that becomes the dew condensation water guide unit 50. The angle of inclination is substantially the same as that of the plate-like portion 41.

この突出部60により、結露水は、仮に閉鎖弁カバー40と本体ケーシング11との隙間から下方に漏れたとしても、突出部60によりせき止められる。せき止められた結露水は、結露水導入孔20c側へと流れていき、やがて結露水導入孔20cを介して本体ケーシング11の機械室S1内部に流れていく。   Even if the condensed water leaks downward from the clearance between the closing valve cover 40 and the main body casing 11 by the protruding portion 60, the condensed water is blocked by the protruding portion 60. The blocked dew condensation water flows toward the dew condensation water introduction hole 20c, and eventually flows into the machine chamber S1 of the main body casing 11 through the dew condensation water introduction hole 20c.

(2)室外機の設置方法
上述した構成を有する室外機10の設置方法について、説明する。
(2) Installation method of outdoor unit The installation method of the outdoor unit 10 which has the structure mentioned above is demonstrated.

先ず、圧縮機13や室外ファン17等が内部に設置され、かつガス及び液閉鎖弁30a,30bが設けられた状態の本体ケーシング11が、室外機10の設置位置に置かれ、固定される。次いで、本体ケーシング11の右側面11dにおける結露水導入孔20cの下辺付近に突出部60が取り付けられ、ネジ等によって固定される。そして、突出している各閉鎖弁30a,30bの接続口に、対応する冷媒配管L1a、L1bが下向きに接続される。従って、この状態の室外機10は、閉鎖弁カバー40が取り付けられていない状態であるが、各閉鎖弁30a,30bから冷媒配管L1a,L1bそれぞれが下向きに延びた状態となっている。   First, the main body casing 11 in a state where the compressor 13, the outdoor fan 17 and the like are installed therein and the gas and liquid shut-off valves 30a and 30b are provided is placed at the installation position of the outdoor unit 10 and fixed. Next, a protrusion 60 is attached to the right side surface 11d of the main casing 11 near the lower side of the condensed water introduction hole 20c, and is fixed by screws or the like. And corresponding refrigerant | coolant piping L1a and L1b are connected downward to the connection port of each closing valve 30a and 30b which protrudes. Therefore, the outdoor unit 10 in this state is in a state in which the closing valve cover 40 is not attached, but the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b extend downward from the respective closing valves 30a and 30b.

次いで、上記状態の本体ケーシング11に対し、閉鎖弁カバー40を本体ケーシング11の外方から取り付ける作業が行われる。具体的に、本体ケーシング11の右側面11dのうち、各閉鎖弁30a,30b及び結露水導入孔20cを覆う位置に閉鎖弁カバー40が取り付けられる。この取り付け作業の際、閉鎖弁カバー40における板状部41が突出部60の上に位置するようにして閉鎖弁カバー40が配置されると共に、閉鎖弁カバー40の切欠41a,41bに各冷媒配管L1a,L1bが防露筒L11a,L11bごと嵌め込まれる。これにより、閉鎖弁カバー40の板状部41と本体ケーシング11の右側面11dとで各冷媒配管L1a,L1bが挟み込まれる状態となり、結露水導入孔20cの下辺付近において結露水案内部50が形成される。そして、閉鎖弁カバー40は、本体ケーシング11の右側面11dにネジ止めによって固定される。従って、この状態の室外機10は、本体ケーシング11に閉鎖弁カバー40が取り付けられたことにより、各閉鎖弁30a,30b,結露水導入孔20c及び冷媒配管L1a,L1bの一部分が閉鎖弁カバー40によって覆われた状態となる。一方、閉鎖弁カバー40によって覆われていない各冷媒配管L1a,L1bの大部分は、室外機10の外部に露出しており、依然として下向きに延びた状態となっている。なお、閉鎖弁カバー40内部においては、上から順番にガス及び液閉鎖弁30a,30b、結露水導入孔20c、結露水案内部50、突出部60が位置していることとなる。   Next, an operation of attaching the closing valve cover 40 from the outside of the main casing 11 is performed on the main casing 11 in the above state. Specifically, the closing valve cover 40 is attached to a position on the right side surface 11d of the main body casing 11 so as to cover the closing valves 30a and 30b and the condensed water introduction hole 20c. During the mounting operation, the closing valve cover 40 is disposed so that the plate-like portion 41 of the closing valve cover 40 is positioned on the protruding portion 60, and each refrigerant pipe is provided in the notches 41a and 41b of the closing valve cover 40. L1a and L1b are fitted together with the dew-proof tubes L11a and L11b. Accordingly, the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b are sandwiched between the plate-like portion 41 of the closing valve cover 40 and the right side surface 11d of the main casing 11, and the condensed water guide portion 50 is formed near the lower side of the condensed water introduction hole 20c. Is done. The closing valve cover 40 is fixed to the right side surface 11d of the main casing 11 by screws. Therefore, in the outdoor unit 10 in this state, when the closing valve cover 40 is attached to the main body casing 11, each of the closing valves 30a and 30b, the condensed water introduction hole 20c and the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b is partially closed. It will be in the state covered by. On the other hand, most of the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b not covered by the closing valve cover 40 are exposed to the outside of the outdoor unit 10 and still extend downward. In addition, in the closing valve cover 40, the gas and liquid closing valves 30a and 30b, the condensed water introduction hole 20c, the condensed water guide portion 50, and the protruding portion 60 are located in order from the top.

次いで、露出している各冷媒配管L1a,L1bを、例えば本体ケーシング11の正面11a側や背面11c側等、所望する方向に曲げる作業が行われることで、各冷媒配管L1a,L1bは、曲げられた方向に延びることとなる。なお、図5,6では、一例として、各冷媒配管L1a,L1bが本体ケーシング11の背面11c側に曲げられた場合を示している。   Next, the refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b are bent by performing an operation of bending the exposed refrigerant pipes L1a and L1b in a desired direction, such as the front surface 11a side or the back surface 11c side of the main body casing 11, for example. It will extend in the direction. In FIGS. 5 and 6, as an example, the refrigerant pipes L <b> 1 a and L <b> 1 b are bent toward the back surface 11 c side of the main body casing 11.

Thereby, even if the condensed water leaks downward from the gap between the closing valve cover 40 and the main body casing 11, it is blocked by the protrusion 60. Therefore, the dew condensation water is less likely to leak outside and below the outdoor unit 10.

(3−3)
また、本実施形態に係る室外機10の閉鎖弁カバー40のうち、結露水案内部50の少なくとも一部となる閉鎖弁カバー40の部分には、切欠41a,41bが形成されている。切欠41a,41bは、閉鎖弁カバー40の本体ケーシング11への装着時に、各冷媒配管L1a,L1bを固定するための固定部を構成する。これにより、閉鎖弁カバー40の本体ケーシング11への装着時、各冷媒配管L1a,L1bはそれぞれ切欠41a,41bに嵌め込まれ、固定されるようになる。特に、切欠41a,41bが冷媒配管L1a,L1bの外形に合致して形成されていれば、冷媒配管L1a,L1bと切欠41a,41bとの隙間から結露水が漏れるのを防ぐことができる。
