 一実施形態では、図1,2に示すように、箱形ケーシング100の正面100a及び背面100bの上部領域に空気取込み口111が形成される。一対のパネル状熱交換器36は2つの空気取込み口111に対面して設けられると共に、一対のパネル状熱交換器36の間隔が下方に向かうにつれて小さくなるようにV字形に配置される。一対のパネル状熱交換器36のそれぞれは、長手方向がヒートポンプユニット50の左右方向に沿うように配置される。
 箱形ケーシング100の内部に、正面100a及び背面100bの空気取込み口111から流入し、一対のパネル状熱交換器36を通り抜け、空気流出口112に至る空気流a(図2参照)が形成される。
In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, an air intake port 111 is formed in the upper region of the front surface 100 a and the back surface 100 b of the box-shaped casing 100. The pair of panel-like heat exchangers 36 are provided so as to face the two air intake ports 111, and are arranged in a V shape so that the distance between the pair of panel-like heat exchangers 36 decreases toward the bottom. Each of the pair of panel heat exchangers 36 is disposed such that the longitudinal direction thereof is along the left-right direction of the heat pump unit 50.
Inside the box-shaped casing 100, an air flow a (see FIG. 2) that flows from the air intake ports 111 on the front surface 100a and the back surface 100b, passes through the pair of panel heat exchangers 36, and reaches the air outlet 112 is formed. The
 一対のパネル状熱交換器36の下方、すなわち、一対のパネル状熱交換器36で挟まれた領域の下方には、図4に示すドレンパン10が設けられている。図4は、ドレンパン10の外観を示す斜視図である。ドレンパン10は、一対のパネル状熱交換器36において空気中の水分が結露することで発生するドレンを集水するための皿状の部材である。ドレンパン10は、前側の底板11と、後側の底板12と、前後の底板11,12の間で左右方向、すなわちパネル状熱交換器36の長手方向に延在する溝13とを有する。 A drain pan 10 shown in FIG. 4 is provided below the pair of panel heat exchangers 36, that is, below the region sandwiched between the pair of panel heat exchangers 36. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the drain pan 10. The drain pan 10 is a dish-shaped member for collecting drain that is generated when moisture in the air is condensed in the pair of panel heat exchangers 36. The drain pan 10 has a front bottom plate 11, a rear bottom plate 12, and a groove 13 extending between the front and rear bottom plates 11, 12 in the left-right direction, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the panel heat exchanger 36.
 底板11,12は、溝13に向かって下降する勾配を有する。
 溝13の底面は、右下がりとなる下り勾配を有し、底面の右側端部近傍にドレン排出のためのドレン口14が設けられている。ドレン口14には下方に延在する短管15が接続されており、短管15の下端に不図示のホースの一端が接続されている。不図示のホースの他端は、背面100bに設けられたドレン排出用ノズルに接続されている。
 ドレンパン10には、ドレン口14の近傍にメンテナンス用の点検口16が設けられている。点検口16は、例えば溝13の背面側の側面に開口しており、ドレンが漏れないように着脱可能な不図示の蓋で覆われている。
The bottom plates 11 and 12 have a slope that descends toward the groove 13.
The bottom surface of the groove 13 has a downward slope that is downwardly inclined, and a drain port 14 for draining is provided near the right end of the bottom surface. A short pipe 15 extending downward is connected to the drain port 14, and one end of a hose (not shown) is connected to the lower end of the short pipe 15. The other end of the hose (not shown) is connected to a drain discharge nozzle provided on the back surface 100b.
The drain pan 10 is provided with a maintenance inspection port 16 in the vicinity of the drain port 14. The inspection port 16 is opened, for example, on the side surface on the back side of the groove 13 and is covered with a cover (not shown) that can be attached and detached so that the drain does not leak.
 一対のパネル状熱交換器36で発生したドレンは、ドレンパン10で集められる。また、例えばヒートポンプユニット50が屋外に設置されている場合には、空気流出口112及びファン34のケーシングの開口34bを介して箱形ケーシング100の内部、すなわち一対のパネル状熱交換器36で挟まれた領域に雨水が侵入する。この侵入した雨水もドレンパン10で集められる。すなわち、一対のパネル状熱交換器36で発生したドレン及びヒートポンプユニット50内に侵入した雨水は、ドレンパン10の底板11,12に流下して溝13に流入する。溝13に流入したドレンや雨水は、溝13内を溝13の右側端部側のドレン口14に向かって流れ、ドレン口14から短管15及び不図示のホースを介して背面100bのドレン排出用ノズルからヒートポンプユニット50の外部に排出される。 The drain generated in the pair of panel heat exchangers 36 is collected in the drain pan 10. For example, when the heat pump unit 50 is installed outdoors, the heat pump unit 50 is sandwiched between the inside of the box-shaped casing 100, that is, the pair of panel heat exchangers 36, through the air outlet 112 and the opening 34b of the casing of the fan 34. Rainwater enters the area. This invading rainwater is also collected in the drain pan 10. That is, the drain generated in the pair of panel heat exchangers 36 and the rainwater entering the heat pump unit 50 flow down to the bottom plates 11 and 12 of the drain pan 10 and flow into the grooves 13. Drain and rainwater flowing into the groove 13 flows in the groove 13 toward the drain port 14 on the right end side of the groove 13, and drains from the back surface 100 b through the short tube 15 and a hose (not shown). Is discharged from the heat nozzle to the outside of the heat pump unit 50.
 一実施形態のヒートポンプユニット50では、一対のパネル状熱交換器36で挟まれた領域の上方に空気流出口112及びファン34のケーシングの開口34bが設けられているため、ヒートポンプユニット50の外部の異物(以下、単に異物と呼ぶ)が空気流出口112及び開口34bを介して箱形ケーシング100の内部に侵入するおそれがある。例えば、ヒートポンプユニット50が屋外に設定されている場合には、異物が空気流出口112及び開口34bを介して箱形ケーシング100の内部に侵入するおそれが高くなる。箱形ケーシング100の内部に侵入する異物としては、例えば樹木の葉などが挙げられる。
 箱形ケーシング100の内部に侵入した異物は、ドレン口14の上に直接落下したり、底板11,12や溝13をドレンとともに流下することでドレン口14に到達する。ドレン口14に到達した異物は、ドレン口14を覆ったり、短管15や不図示のホースに流れ込んでこれらの内部で詰まったりすることでドレンの排出を阻害するおそれがある。
In the heat pump unit 50 of the embodiment, the air outlet 112 and the opening 34b of the casing of the fan 34 are provided above the region sandwiched between the pair of panel heat exchangers 36. There is a possibility that foreign matter (hereinafter simply referred to as foreign matter) may enter the box-shaped casing 100 through the air outlet 112 and the opening 34b. For example, when the heat pump unit 50 is set outdoors, there is a high risk that foreign matter will enter the box-shaped casing 100 through the air outlet 112 and the opening 34b. Examples of the foreign matter that enters the inside of the box-shaped casing 100 include tree leaves.
The foreign matter that has entered the inside of the box-shaped casing 100 falls directly on the drain port 14 or reaches the drain port 14 by flowing down the bottom plates 11 and 12 and the groove 13 together with the drain. The foreign matter that has reached the drain port 14 may cover the drain port 14 or may flow into the short pipe 15 or a hose (not shown) and become clogged inside, thereby hindering drainage.
 そこで、一実施形態のヒートポンプユニット50には、異物がドレン口14に侵入するのを阻止する詰まり防止部材として、図5に示すように、防葉柵20がドレン口14に配置されている。
 図5は、ドレンパン10及びドレン口14に設置された一実施形態の防葉柵20を示す斜視図であり、図6は、一実施形態の防葉柵20の斜視図である。
In view of this, in the heat pump unit 50 of one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the leaf fence 20 is disposed at the drain port 14 as a clogging preventing member that prevents foreign matter from entering the drain port 14.
