Summary of Invention
Technical Problem
[0004] In the related-art outdoor unit, a plurality of motor support members are required
depending on the height and thickness of the heat exchanger, thereby being necessary
to prepare the same number of molds for forming the respective motor support members.
As a result, the manufacturing cost is increased. Further, the number of components
is also increased, thereby causing a problem in that the management of inventory and
distribution is cumbersome.
[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the problem described above, and it
is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an outdoor unit for an
air-conditioning apparatus, which is compatible with a plurality of types of heat
exchangers by mounting another component on the structure of a motor support member
so as to share the motor support member among the plurality of types of heat exchangers.
Solution to Problem
[0006] According to the present invention, there is provided an outdoor unit for an air-conditioning
apparatus, comprising:a housing having an opening formed in a rear surface thereof
and an air outlet formed in a front surface thereof; a heat exchanger covering the
opening of the rear surface of the housing from an inside of the housing; a fan motor
support member having an air-sending device fixed to a center portion thereof, an
upper end part of the fan motor support member above the air-sending device having
a locking section formed with a downward groove, and a lower end part of the fan motor
support member below the air-sending device being fixed onto a bottom panel of the
housing; furthermore comprising an adjustment section which has a downward groove,
wherein the size adjustment section is fitted into the downward groove of the locking
section of the motor support member in accordance with a height and a thickness of
the heat exchanger and the upper end of the heat exchanger is fitted into the downward
groove of the size adjustment section fitted into the downward groove of the locking
section.
Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0007] According to Embodiment of the present invention, when the fan motor support member
is to be locked in accordance with the height and thickness of the heat exchanger,
the size adjustment section is fitted into the groove of the locking section of the
fan motor support member, to thereby lock the fan motor support member onto the upper
end portion of the heat exchanger. In this manner, the use of the size adjustment
section alone allows the use of the fan motor support member without changing the
structure thereof. Therefore, the increase in number of components can be minimized,
thereby facilitating the management of inventory and distribution. As a result, materials
can be saved.

Description of Embodiment
[0009] Now, an outdoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus according to Embodiment of
the present invention is described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note
that, the present invention is not limited to Embodiment described below but is defined
by the appending claims.
[0010] Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an outer appearance of the outdoor unit for an air-conditioning
apparatus according to Embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is an exploded
perspective view of the outdoor unit illustrated in Fig. 1.
[0011] In Figs. 1 and 2, an outdoor unit 50 according to Embodiment includes a housing 51
formed of an L-shaped front panel 1, a side panel 2, a top panel 3, and a bottom panel
4. In the front panel 1, an air outlet 1a is formed into a circular shape, and is
covered with a fan guard 1b. On the side panel 2, a service cover 5 and a valve cover
6 are mounted in a freely removable manner. On a lower surface of the bottom panel
4, foot sections 7 are mounted so as to fix the outdoor unit 50 onto an installation
surface. The inside of the outdoor unit 50 is partitioned by a dogleg-shaped separator
8 into an air-sending device chamber 9 and a machine chamber 10.
[0012] An L-shaped heat exchanger 11 and an air-sending device 12 arranged in front of the
heat exchanger 11 are housed in the air-sending device chamber 9. In Embodiment, for
example, a corrugated-fin heat exchanger including flat pipes, corrugated fins, and
header pipes is employed as the heat exchanger 11. The air-sending device 12 includes
a fan motor 12a fixed to a fan motor support member 20 described later, and a propeller
fan 12b.
[0013] When the propeller fan 12b is rotated through drive of the fan motor 12a, air (outdoor
air) is sucked through the rotation of the propeller fan 12b to pass through the heat
exchanger 11 and flow into the outdoor unit 50. Then, the air is caused to pass through
the propeller fan 12b, and is blown outside from the air outlet 1a of the front panel
1 through the fan guard 1b. Thus, during, for example, cooling operation, refrigerant
inside the heat exchanger 11 is cooled by the air, and the air caused to pass through
the heat exchanger 11 is heated into warm air through the heat exchange between the
air and the refrigerant.
[0014] A compressor 14 mounted on the bottom panel 4, a four-way valve, an expansion valve,
a pipe connection section for connecting, to those components, a refrigerant pipe
connected to an indoor unit, an electrical component for controlling the drive of
the compressor 14 and the air-sending device 12, and the like are housed in the machine
chamber 10.
[0015] Next, the structure of the above-mentioned fan motor support member 20 is described
with reference to Figs. 3 to 6.
[0016] Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the outdoor unit in a state in which the housing,
the air-sending device, and the separator are removed in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective
view of a size adjustment section to be used for the fan motor support member of Fig.
2 as seen from the front side obliquely. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the size
adjustment section of Fig. 4 as seen from the rear side obliquely. Fig. 6 is an enlarged
sectional view of an upper part of the fan motor support member of Fig. 3 as seen
in the arrow A-A direction. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of an upper end portion side
of the fan motor support member of Fig. 3 as seen from the bottom side obliquely.
[0017] The fan motor support member 20 is mounted in front of the heat exchanger 11. The
fan motor support member 20 includes a ladder-shaped support column section 21, a
holding section 22 for the air-sending device 12, which is arranged at a center portion
of the support column section 21, support column fixing sections 23 each arranged
at a lower end portion of the support column section 21, a plate-shaped top panel
support section 24 extending horizontally from an upper end portion of the support
column section 21 toward the air-sending device 12 side, and a lock and support section
25 extending horizontally from the upper end portion of the support column section
21 toward an opposite side to the top panel support section 24.
[0018] The support column fixing sections 23 are arranged at the front and rear of the support
column section 21, and are fixed onto a convex drawing portion 4a formed on the bottom
panel 4 by fastening screws 27 obliquely through burring portions 4b formed on the
bottom panel 4 (see Fig. 11). As illustrated in Figs. 3 and 6, the lock and support
section 25 includes a support plate 25a extending horizontally from the upper end
portion of the support column section 21, and an inverted U-shaped locking plate 26
(locking section) formed at a distal end of the support plate 25a with a downward
groove 26d. As illustrated in Fig. 6, on one side surface 26a forming the groove 26d
of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26, a stepped portion 26c having a flat surface
is formed by bending a cut-and-raised piece 26b upward at a right angle. The cut-and-raised
piece 26b is formed by cutting and raising a part of the center of the side surface
26a outward.
[0019] The height of the above-mentioned fan motor support member 20 is set in accordance
with the height of, for example, a fin-and-tube heat exchanger. Further, the width
of the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 is set to a dimension
equal to or larger than the thickness of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger. That is,
an upper end portion of the fin-and-tube heat exchanger is fitted into the groove
26d of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26, thereby enabling to lock the fan motor
support member 20 onto the fin-and-tube heat exchanger.
[0020] A size adjustment section 30 is fitted into the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped
locking plate 26 of the lock and support section 25. The size adjustment section 30
is provided so that the fan motor support member 20 for the fin-and-tube heat exchanger
may also be used for the corrugated-fin heat exchanger, which is a different type
of heat exchanger. Comparing the corrugated-fin heat exchanger and the fin-and-tube
heat exchanger at equal capacity (performance), the corrugated-fin heat exchanger
is smaller in height and thickness than the fin-and-tube heat exchanger. When the
fan motor support member 20 is to be locked onto such a small-size corrugated-fin
heat exchanger, the size adjustment section 30 is fitted into the groove 26d of the
inverted U-shaped locking plate 26, thereby enabling to lock the fan motor support
member 20 onto the corrugated-fin heat exchanger.
[0021] The size adjustment section 30 is made of a resin material and, as illustrated in
Figs. 4 and 5, formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape having a horizontally-oriented
outer appearance with a downward groove 31 formed at a lower part of the size adjustment
section 30. A U-shaped regulation piece 32, which is elongated in a longitudinal direction
of the size adjustment section 30, is formed on a front surface 30a of the size adjustment
section 30 on the support column section 21 side. When the size adjustment section
30 is fitted into the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 of the
fan motor support member 20, the support plate 25a of the fan motor support member
20 is fitted into the U-shaped regulation piece 32.
[0022] When the support plate 25a of the fan motor support member 20 is fitted into the
U-shaped regulation piece 32, lateral movement of the size adjustment section 30 is
regulated by side pieces 32a formed at both ends of the U-shaped regulation piece
32. Two hook portions 33 protruding rearward are formed at the center of an upper
part of a rear surface 30b of the size adjustment section 30 on an opposite side to
the U-shaped regulation piece 32. When the size adjustment section 30 is fitted into
the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26, the two hook portions 33
are caught on the stepped portion 26c having a flat surface, which is formed on the
side surface 26a of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26, to thereby temporarily
fix the size adjustment section 30.
[0023] Further, at an upper part of the size adjustment section 30, a plurality of protruding
pieces 34 are arranged in the longitudinal direction of the size adjustment section
30. Vertical movement of the size adjustment section 30 fitted into the groove 26d
of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 is regulated by the protruding pieces 34
and the two hook portions 33. That is, the size adjustment section 30 is prevented
from dropping off the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26. As illustrated in Fig. 7,
a cushioning member 40 is fitted into the groove 31 of the size adjustment section
30. The cushioning member 40 is provided so as to mitigate vibrations during conveyance
and operation of the outdoor unit 50.
[0024] Next, referring to Figs. 8 to 11, description is given of a procedure of mounting
the fan motor support member 20 in a case where the heat exchanger 11 mounted inside
the outdoor unit 50 is the corrugated-fin heat exchanger.
[0025] Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a state before the size adjustment section is mounted
on the inverted U-shaped locking plate of the fan motor support member. Fig. 9 is
a perspective view of a state after the size adjustment section and the cushioning
member are mounted on the inverted U-shaped locking plate of the fan motor support
member. Fig. 10 is a perspective view of a state in which the inverted U-shaped locking
plate of the fan motor support member is locked onto the heat exchanger through intermediation
of the size adjustment section and the cushioning member. Fig. 11 is a perspective
view of a state in which the fan motor support member locked onto the heat exchanger
is fixed to the bottom panel of the housing.
[0026] First, the cushioning member 40 is fitted into the groove 31 of the size adjustment
section 30. Under a state in which the groove 31 into which the cushioning member
40 is fitted is oriented downward (see Fig. 8), the size adjustment section 30 is
then inserted from the bottom into the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped locking
plate 26 of the fan motor support member 20 (see Fig. 9). At this time, the two hook
portions 33 are fitted into the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped locking plate
26 along with the insertion of the size adjustment section 30. When the two hook portions
33 reach the stepped portion 26c formed on the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26,
the two hook portions 33 project toward the stepped portion 26c side due to an elastic
force so that the two hook portions 33 are caught on the stepped portion 26c.
[0027] At this time, the protruding pieces 34 of the size adjustment section 30 are brought
into contact with an upper surface of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 on an
inner side thereof, and the support plate 25a of the fan motor support member 20 is
fitted into the U-shaped regulation piece 32 of the size adjustment section 30, to
thereby fix the size adjustment section 30. In this case, the lateral movement of
the size adjustment section 30 is regulated by the side pieces 32a formed on both
sides of the U-shaped regulation piece 32.
[0028] The fan motor support member 20 is locked onto an upper end portion of the heat exchanger
11 (corrugated-fin heat exchanger) through intermediation of the size adjustment section
30 fixed to the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 (see Fig. 10). In this case, the
upper end portion of the heat exchanger 11 is fitted into the groove 31 of the size
adjustment section 30. After that, as described above, the support column fixing sections
23 of the fan motor support member 20 are fixed onto the convex drawing portion 4a
formed on the bottom panel 4 by fastening the screws 27 through the burring portions
4b formed on the bottom panel 4 (see Fig. 11).
[0029] Incidentally, in a case where only the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 is used
without using the size adjustment section 30 and made of a sheet metal material, screw
holes need to be formed so as to fix the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 to the
support plate 25a, with the result that the current shape of the mold for the fan
motor support member 20 needs to be modified. Also in a case where only the inverted
U-shaped locking plate 26 is used without using the size adjustment section 30 and
made of a resin material, the mold for the fan motor support member 20 needs to be
modified. Further, the coupling portion between the sheet metal material and the resin
material may be damaged due to stress concentration caused by the vibrations applied
during the conveyance and operation of the outdoor unit 50. In this respect, Embodiment
provides such structure that the size adjustment section 30 made of a resin material
is held by fitting into the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 of the fan motor support
member 20 without modifying the existing mold for the fan motor support member 20.
Therefore, the range of fitting between the size adjustment section 30 and the fan
motor support member 20 is wider, thereby enabling to disperse the stress to be applied
to the size adjustment section 30 made of a resin material.
[0030] Further, in the outdoor unit 50 in which the fin-and-tube heat exchanger that is
larger in height and thickness is mounted as the heat exchanger 11 arranged perpendicularly
to the bottom panel 4, there is no need to use the size adjustment section 30, and
hence only a minimum necessary gap is formed between the fin-and-tube heat exchanger
and the top panel 3. On the other hand, in a case where the corrugated-fin heat exchanger
is mounted with use of the size adjustment section 30 in this Embodiment, the corrugated-fin
heat exchanger has such specifications that the corrugated-fin heat exchanger is smaller
in height and thickness than the fin-and-tube heat exchanger and a gap is therefore
formed between the corrugated-fin heat exchanger and the top panel 3 under a state
in which the fan motor support member 20 having the size adjustment section 30 mounted
thereon is locked onto the corrugated-fin heat exchanger. However, the above-mentioned
specifications do not raise any problem from the viewpoint of performance and structural
strength of the outdoor unit 50. Thus, there is no need to insert a spacer or the
like between the corrugated-fin heat exchanger and the top panel 3 so as to fill the
gap generated due to the height difference caused by the difference in specifications
between the corrugated-fin heat exchanger and the fin-and-tube heat exchanger.
[0031] As described above, according to Embodiment of the present invention, in the case
where the fan motor support member 20 compatible with the fin-and-tube heat exchanger
is used for the corrugated-fin heat exchanger that is smaller in height and thickness
than the fin-and-tube heat exchanger, the size adjustment section 30 only needs to
be fitted into the groove 26d of the inverted U-shaped locking plate 26 formed on
the fan motor support member 20, thereby enabling to lock the fan motor support member
20 onto the corrugated-fin heat exchanger. In this manner, even for the different
types of heat exchangers, the use of the size adjustment section 30 alone allows the
use of the fan motor support member without changing the structure thereof. Therefore,
the increase in number of components can be minimized, thereby facilitating the management
of inventory and distribution. As a result, materials can be saved.
