Description
本発明は、側板が設けられた熱交換器を備える空気調和装置及びその空気調和装置の製造方法に関する。
The present invention relates to an air conditioner including a heat exchanger provided with a side plate and a method for manufacturing the air conditioner.
空気調和装置に用いられる熱交換器は、例えば放熱フィンとチューブと側板とで構成されている。放熱フィン及びチューブは複数設けられており、複数のチューブが複数の放熱フィンに挿入されている。側板はチューブの端部に設けられており、側板には、複数のチューブが挿入される複数の穴が形成されている。熱交換器には、側板において、複数のチューブ同士を接続する接続部材が設けられている。この接続部材としては、例えばUベンド管、三方ベンド管及びバルジ三方管等が挙げられる。また、チューブがヘアピン管である場合、チューブと接続部材とは一体的に形成される。
The heat exchanger used in the air conditioner is composed of, for example, heat radiation fins, tubes, and side plates. A plurality of radiation fins and tubes are provided, and a plurality of tubes are inserted into the plurality of radiation fins. The side plate is provided at the end of the tube, and the side plate is formed with a plurality of holes into which the plurality of tubes are inserted. The heat exchanger is provided with a connection member for connecting a plurality of tubes on the side plate. Examples of the connecting member include a U-bend pipe, a three-way bend pipe, and a bulge three-way pipe. When the tube is a hairpin tube, the tube and the connecting member are integrally formed.
このような熱交換器に設けられる接続部材は、その接続パターン(パスパターン)が様々で且つ複雑である。このため、パスパターンが記載された図面が、別途用意される。そして、熱交換器を製造する作業者は、熱交換器とパスパターンが記載された図面とを交互に見比べつつ部品等を取り付けて組み立てている。パスパターンに関する部品は、多い場合、熱交換器1枚当たり100個を超えることもある。また、その部品は、数種類に及ぶ場合もある。従って、作業時間が増加し、取り付け間違いによる仕損が発生する虞がある。
The connection member provided in such a heat exchanger has various and complicated connection patterns (path patterns). For this reason, a drawing in which a path pattern is described is prepared separately. And the operator who manufactures a heat exchanger attaches parts etc., and assembles, comparing the heat exchanger and the drawing in which the pass pattern was described alternately. In many cases, the number of parts related to the path pattern may exceed 100 per heat exchanger. In addition, there may be several types of parts. Therefore, the work time increases, and there is a possibility that a failure due to an attachment error occurs.
また、パスパターンに関する部品は、前述の如く、主に、ヘアピン管、Uベンド管、三方ベンド管及びバルジ三方管の4種類である。これらの接続部材は、機能、外形、取り付け数及び場所等に制限がない。このため、取り付け場所の確認及び取り付ける接続部材自体の確認に起因する作業時間の増加、取り付け場所の確認及び取り付ける接続部材自体の確認に起因する取り付け間違いによる仕損が発生する虞がある。
Also, as described above, there are mainly four types of parts related to the pass pattern: hairpin tube, U-bend tube, three-way bend tube, and bulge three-way tube. These connecting members are not limited in function, external shape, number of attachments, location, and the like. For this reason, there is a possibility that an increase in work time due to the confirmation of the mounting location and the confirmation of the connecting member itself to be attached, and a failure due to an attachment error due to the confirmation of the mounting location and the confirmation of the connecting member itself to be attached may occur.
なお、これらの接続部材がロウ付けによって取り付けられる場合、一旦取り付けられると、取り外しが困難である。このため、取り付け間違いが発生した場合、放熱フィン及び側板を含む熱交換器全体を廃棄しなければならない。
In addition, when these connecting members are attached by brazing, once attached, it is difficult to remove. For this reason, when an attachment mistake occurs, the entire heat exchanger including the radiation fins and the side plates must be discarded.
ここで、特許文献1には、複数のベンド管を有する熱交換器の製造方法が開示されている。特許文献1は、ベンド管が挿入される穴が形成されたサポート材に、複数のベンド管を予め装着しておき、そのサポート材をプレートフィンに挿入されたチューブに嵌合することによって熱交換器が製造される。このように、特許文献1は、サポート材を用いることによって、ベンド管の取り付け場所の確認を不要とし、熱交換器の組み立て作業性を向上させようとするものである。
Here, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger having a plurality of bend pipes. Patent Document 1 discloses heat exchange by mounting a plurality of bend pipes in advance on a support material in which a hole into which a bend pipe is inserted is formed, and fitting the support material to a tube inserted in a plate fin. A vessel is manufactured. As described above, Patent Document 1 attempts to improve the assembly workability of the heat exchanger by using the support material so that the confirmation of the mounting location of the bend pipe is unnecessary.
しかしながら、特許文献1に開示された熱交換器は、サポート材が必要であるため、製造コストが上昇する。また、特許文献1では、ベンド管のみの取り付けについて開示されており、複数の接続部材が存在する場合の取り付け作業性については何ら配慮されていない。
However, since the heat exchanger disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires a support material, the manufacturing cost increases. Moreover, in patent document 1, it discloses about the attachment of only a bend pipe | tube, and no consideration is given to attachment workability | operativity in case a some connection member exists.
本発明は、上記のような課題を背景としてなされたもので、製造コストを削減し、複数の接続部材が存在する場合においても取り付け作業性が向上する空気調和装置及び空気調和装置の製造方法を提供するものである。
The present invention has been made against the background of the above problems, and provides an air conditioner and a method for manufacturing an air conditioner that reduce the manufacturing cost and improve the mounting workability even when there are a plurality of connecting members. It is to provide.

図5は、本発明の実施の形態1に係る空気調和装置1の製造方法を示すフローチャートである。次に、空気調和装置1の製造方法について説明する。先ず、側板13に、複数のチューブ12が挿入される複数の穴13aが形成される。具体的には、第1の熱交換器4の側板13となる平板状の金属板に、例えばバーリング処理によって複数の穴13aが形成される(ステップST1)。
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a method for manufacturing the air-conditioning apparatus 1 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Next, the manufacturing method of the air conditioning apparatus 1 is demonstrated. First, a plurality of holes 13 a into which a plurality of tubes 12 are inserted are formed in the side plate 13. Specifically, a plurality of holes 13a are formed in the flat metal plate that becomes the side plate 13 of the first heat exchanger 4 by, for example, burring (step ST1).
