Abstract

In an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the shape of an outside air temperature sensor holder has to be designed according to the difference in the diameter of the pipe of the heat exchanger or the difference in the specifications of the heat exchanger.
Any of the dimensions can be applied to the heat exchanger specifications, that is, the difference in pipe diameter and the difference from the fin edge to the pipe of the heat exchanger, and the heat exchanger can adhere to the heat exchanger. By providing the stop 1a, the outside air temperature sensor holder 1 that has been individually designed according to the specifications of the heat exchanger can be shared.

Description

  The present invention relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, and more particularly to an outside air temperature sensor holder.

  Conventionally, in an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the outside air temperature sensor holder is suspended and locked to the upper surface portion of the heat exchanger of the outdoor unit. And the latching | locking part matched with the pipe diameter or the heat exchanger was provided.

  5 to 7 are a perspective view of a locking portion of an outdoor temperature sensor holder 11 of an outdoor unit of a conventional air conditioner, a perspective view of the entire outdoor unit, and a perspective view of the outdoor temperature sensor holder.

As shown in the figure, the outside air temperature sensor holder 11 is an upper surface portion of the heat exchanger 2 of the outdoor unit so that the heat exchanger 2 is sandwiched between the locking portion 11 a and the main body portion of the outside air temperature sensor holder 11. Thus, it was suspended and locked in such a way as to straddle the outer surface of the heat exchanger 2. At this time, the outside air temperature sensor holder 11 is not in contact with the pipe 2d.

  However, in the conventional configuration, the outside air temperature sensor holder is required due to the difference in the pipe diameter and the configuration of the heat exchanger, and the number of similar parts increases, leading to supply of parts and incorrect mounting of parts. Had.

  In addition, there is a problem that a loss amount such as die investment and logistics management cost occurs.

  The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and includes a locking portion that absorbs a difference in pipe diameter and a difference in the configuration of a heat exchanger, and a shape that sandwiches an upper outer part and restricts movement, and has a common part. It aims at providing the outdoor temperature sensor holder fixing method of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner aiming at making it easy.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the present invention includes a compressor, a blower and an electric component box that stores a control base for controlling the blower, a heat exchanger having a different number of pipe rows or pipe diameters depending on the capacity class, In an outdoor unit of an air conditioner that is provided outside the heat exchanger and includes an outside air temperature sensor that detects outside air temperature and an outside air temperature sensor holder that houses the outside air temperature sensor, the outside air temperature sensor holder is attached to the heat exchanger. It is inserted from the upper surface of the exchanger, and is fixed on the pipe, the locking portion provided on the side surface of the outside air temperature sensor holder, and the surface of the outside air temperature sensor holder facing the locking portion. It is configured to contact the top of the temperature sensor holder.

  Moreover, the latching | locking part has a nail | claw part clamped between piping and the main body of an external temperature sensor holder.

  Thereby, it becomes possible to fix without being influenced by the difference in the pipe diameter and the difference in the configuration of the heat exchanger.

  Further, the movement can be restricted by devising the fitting shape with the upper shell part.

  The outside air temperature sensor holder fixing of the present invention can realize part simplification and reduction of mold investment by sharing parts.

  According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compressor, a blower, an electric component box that houses a control base for controlling these, a heat exchanger having a different number of pipe lines or pipe diameters depending on a capacity class, and an outside of the heat exchanger. In an outdoor unit of an air conditioner provided with an outside air temperature sensor that detects an outside air temperature and an outside air temperature sensor holder that houses the outside air temperature sensor, the outside air temperature sensor holder is inserted from the upper surface of the heat exchanger. A fixing portion provided on a side surface of the pipe and the outside air temperature sensor holder and a surface of the outside air temperature sensor holder facing the engaging portion are fixed, and an upper outer part touches an upper portion of the outside air temperature sensor holder. It is the structure which touched.

  In the second invention, in particular, the locking portion of the first invention has a claw portion to be sandwiched between the pipe and the main body of the outside air temperature sensor holder.

  In the third invention, the locking portion of the first or second invention is inserted into the windward side of the heat exchanger.

  According to a fourth aspect of the invention, the outside air temperature sensor holder of the first aspect of the invention is provided with a groove for sandwiching the upper outer shell part.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.

(Embodiment 1)
1 to 4 are a perspective view of a locking portion of an outside air temperature sensor holder according to the present invention, a perspective view of a fitting state of the outside air temperature sensor holder 1 and the upper outer shell part 3, and an entire outdoor unit of the air conditioner. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the outside air temperature sensor holder 1. FIG. 1 shows an outside air temperature sensor holder 1 held in a heat exchanger 2 according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and is provided with a locking portion 1a for sandwiching a pipe 2d.

  FIG. 2 shows the upper shell part 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, and a folding portion 3 c that fits with the outside air temperature sensor holder 1 is provided.

  With the above configuration, the movement of the outside air temperature sensor holder 1 can be regulated.

  As described above, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention can realize the simplification of parts management and the reduction of mold investment by sharing the parts attached to the heat exchanger. It can be applied to products having a heat exchanger.
