FIG. 4 is a front view, and FIG. 5 is a left side view. is there. The heat exchanger (3) is fixed in a casing (2) indicated by phantom lines. In the heat exchanger (3), two central tubesheets (31a, 31b) as structural members of the heat exchanger (3) are vertically arranged. A fan motor mount (41) for holding a fan motor (42) is fixed to the central tube plate (31a, 31b). A propeller fan (43) is attached to the output shaft (42a) of the fan motor (42). In FIG. 4, the propeller fan (43) is shown by a virtual line to clearly show the mounting structure. In the figure, (5) indicates a compressor, and (7) indicates a receiver.
図示の構造では、 ファンモー夕取付台 (41 )は 4本の脚部 (41b)を有し、 各脚部 (41b) が中央管板(31a, 31b)にビス(B1 )などの締結手段によって固定されている。さらに、 フ アンモー夕取付台 (41)に対して、 ファンモー夕(42)が同じくビス(B2)などの締結手段 によって固定されて、 ファンモ一夕(42)が熱交換器 (3)に対して固定されている。 しかし、 このような従来の取付構造では、 熱交換器 (3)の管板 (31a,31b)にファンモ —夕取付台 (41)を固定し、 さらにファンモ一夕(42)を固定する二重の取付構造となつ ているため、部品点数が多い上にビス(B1,B2)も多数が必要で、作業工数も多い問題が あった。 このため、従来の構造は空気調和装置(1)のコスト高の要因となっており、構 成を簡素化してコストを低減することが望まれている。 In the illustrated structure, the fan motor mounting base (41) has four legs (41b), and each leg (41b) is attached to the central tube plate (31a, 31b) by a fastening means such as a screw (B1). Fixed. In addition, The fan motor (42) is also fixed to the ammo mounting base (41) by fastening means such as screws (B2), and the fan motor (42) is fixed to the heat exchanger (3). I have. However, in such a conventional mounting structure, the fan motor—the evening mounting base (41) is fixed to the tube plate (31a, 31b) of the heat exchanger (3), and the fan motor overnight (42) is further fixed. Because of this mounting structure, the number of parts and the number of screws (B1, B2) are also large, and the number of work steps is large. For this reason, the conventional structure is a factor in increasing the cost of the air conditioner (1), and it is desired to simplify the structure and reduce the cost.

一実施形態の効果一  Effects of one embodiment
本実施形態によれば、 以下のような効果が発揮される。  According to the present embodiment, the following effects are exhibited.
すなわち、 従来の取付構造とは違って図 4及び図 5に示したファンモータ取付台 (41)を使用せずに、 熱交換器 (3)の管板 (31a,31b)にファンモー夕(42)を直接固定する 構造としているため、 部品点数が少なくなり、 必要なビスの個数も低減される。 さら に、 ビスの個数が少なくなるため、 作業自体も簡素化され、 従来の構造と比較してコ ストを低減することが可能となる。  That is, unlike the conventional mounting structure, the fan motor mounting base (41) shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is not used and the fan motor mounting (42) is attached to the tube plate (31a, 31b) of the heat exchanger (3). ) Is directly fixed, which reduces the number of parts and the number of required screws. Furthermore, since the number of screws is reduced, the operation itself is simplified, and costs can be reduced as compared with the conventional structure.
なお、 本実施形態の取付構造では、 各管板 (31a,31b)の本体部 (31B)から延出するよ うに形成した脚部 (31C)と、 その先端部分を折り曲げて形成した支持部(31D)とからフ アンモー夕取付部(31A)を簡単な形状に形成しているが、 補強リブ (31E)を設けている ことと、 ファンモー夕(42)自体が剛体であることから、 ファンモー夕(42)を管板 (31a,31b)に取り付けた状態において取付部分が強度不足となることはなく、充分な強 度を確保できる。 In the mounting structure of the present embodiment, a leg (31C) formed to extend from the main body (31B) of each tube sheet (31a, 31b) and a support ( 31D) Although the mounting part (31A) is formed in a simple shape, the reinforcing rib (31E) is provided, and the fan part (42) itself is rigid, so the fan part (42) is connected to the pipe. In the state of being attached to the plates (31a, 31b), the attached portion does not have insufficient strength, and sufficient strength can be secured.
—その他の実施の形態—  -Other embodiments-
本発明は、 上記実施形態について、 以下のような構成としてもよい。  The present invention may be configured as follows in the above embodiment.
例えば、 上記実施形態では熱交換器 (3)のコイルを保持する管板 (31a,31b)にファン モ一夕取付部(31A)を一体的に形成しているが、 ファンモ一夕取付部(31A)は、 管板 (31a,31b)に限らず、 熱交換器 (3)の構造部材 (熱交換器 (3)の骨組みを構成する部材) に形成したものであればよい。  For example, in the above-described embodiment, the fan module mounting portion (31A) is formed integrally with the tube plates (31a, 31b) holding the coils of the heat exchanger (3). 31A) is not limited to the tubesheets (31a, 31b), but may be any as long as it is formed on a structural member of the heat exchanger (3) (a member constituting a framework of the heat exchanger (3)).
さらに、上記実施形態では空気調和装置の室外機 (1)について説明したが、本発明は ファンモー夕(42)が熱交換器 (3)の管板や構造部材 (31a,31b)に取り付けられる構成の 空気調和装置であれば適用対象を室外機(1)に限定するものではない。  Further, in the above embodiment, the outdoor unit (1) of the air conditioner has been described. However, the present invention relates to a configuration in which the fan motor (42) is attached to the tube sheet or the structural members (31a, 31b) of the heat exchanger (3). The air conditioner is not limited to the outdoor unit (1).
また、上記実施形態において、 ファンモ一夕取付部(31A)の具体的な形状などは単に 一例にすぎず、 ファンモー夕取付部(31A)は、 管板や構造部材(31a,31b)と一体で、 か つ図 4, 5に示したファンモータ取付台(41)の代わりに使用してファンモー夕(42)を 固定できるようになっていれば、 その形状は任意に変更してもよい。 さらに、 ファン モー夕取付部 (31A)を設ける管板や構造部材(31a,31b)は、 ファンモータ(42)の取付べ —ス部 (42b )に応じた位置に設けるようにすれば、 図示以外の位置にしてもよい。 また、上記実施形態ではファンモー夕(42)をファンモー夕取付部(31A)に直接に取り 付けるようにしているが、 図 4, 5に示したファンモータ取付台 (41)などの取付専用 部品を使用しない構成であれば防振ゴムなどの取付用の補助部品は使用してもよい。 また、 ファンモー夕(42)の小型軽量化が進めば、 ファンモータ取付部 (31A)を例えば リブ ( 31E )などのないさらに簡単な構成にすることも可能であり、そうすることによつ てコストを一層低減することが可能となる。  In the above embodiment, the specific shape of the fan motor mounting portion (31A) is merely an example, and the fan motor mounting portion (31A) is integrated with the tube sheet and the structural members (31a, 31b). However, if the fan motor mount (42) can be fixed by using it instead of the fan motor mount (41) shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, its shape may be changed arbitrarily. Further, the tube sheet and the structural members (31a, 31b) on which the fan motor mounting portion (31A) is provided may be provided at a position corresponding to the mounting base portion (42b) of the fan motor (42). Other positions may be used. In the above embodiment, the fan motor mounting part (42) is directly mounted on the fan motor mounting part (31A). However, mounting parts such as the fan motor mounting base (41) shown in FIGS. If not used, auxiliary parts for attachment, such as vibration-proof rubber, may be used. Further, if the fan motor (42) is reduced in size and weight, the fan motor mounting portion (31A) can be made to have a simpler structure without the ribs (31E), for example. Costs can be further reduced.
