Description

  The present invention relates to a heat source unit such as an outdoor unit of an air conditioner or a heat-pump hot water heater and a packing material.

  Conventionally, a heat source unit such as an outdoor unit of a relatively small air conditioner for home use or a heat-pump hot water heater is usually provided with a pair of handles on the upper left and right sides and used for moving an appliance. Also, in order to prevent the product from being damaged by scratches or dents during transportation or storage in the warehouse, the entire surface of the product or the surface of the product is covered with a packing material made of foamed polystyrene or cardboard. Protected across the top surface of the plate and the bottom surface of the bottom plate, the packaging material is removed during product installation work, the appliance is installed in place, and connected to equipment on the user side such as indoor units and floor heating panels As a result, it was possible to use it.

  In addition, large air conditioners such as packaged air conditioners are difficult to transport by human power and are transported using forklifts. In such air conditioners, the forklift claws are applied directly to the bottom of the bottom plate. Some products did not have packing material on the bottom side of the product for transportation. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

JP-A-8-193728

In this conventional heat source unit installation work, if the weight of the instrument is relatively light, it is performed only by human power, but depending on the installation in a high place and the installation state, the operator may need to lift it from the bottom plate of the instrument. It was difficult to lift. Further, when the packing material is attached to the bottom surface side of the bottom plate, the work is started after the instrument is once lowered from the packing material on the bottom surface, and it is necessary to improve the work efficiency.
In addition, installation of large and heavy objects requires not only large machines such as forklifts, but there is also a risk of scratches or dents on the product if no packaging material is provided on the bottom side of the product. It was.

  This invention pays attention to this point, and in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, in particular, the configuration includes components such as a compressor, an outdoor fan, and a heat exchanger, and a bottom plate, a top plate, and a blowout grill of the outdoor fan. The heat source unit is composed of a front plate provided, a left side plate provided with an air suction port, a right side plate covering the compressor, and the like, and is connected to a use side unit through a communication pipe. This heat source unit is an upper surface of the top plate. And a bottom plate of the bottom plate, each of which is provided with a packing material, and the packing material is fixed by wrapping a binding band, and a concave portion for handling is provided in the vicinity of the left and right ends of the bottom plate bottom surface substantially parallel to the left and right side plates. The packing material facing the recess is provided with a space for an operator to insert his / her hand from the left and right sides.

  According to the present invention, since the concave portions for handling are provided in the vicinity of the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the bottom plate so as to be substantially parallel to the left and right side plates, the position of the hand on the bottom surface of the bottom plate is stabilized and the installation work can be performed more safely. Installation work can be made more efficient. In addition, by providing a space for the operator to insert a hand from the left and right sides in the packaging material facing the recess, it is possible to lift the instrument by directly placing the hand on the recess of the bottom plate without removing the packaging material on the bottom surface. It is possible to perform the installation work more efficiently.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. FIG. The perspective view of the same main body bottom side. The expanded sectional view of the same baseplate and a packing material.

Next, a heat source unit and a packing material according to the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a heat source unit of a heat pump hot water heating apparatus, which includes a functional part (not shown) such as a compressor, an outdoor fan, a heat exchanger, and a hot water tank.
The heat source unit 1 includes a bottom plate 2 on the bottom surface, a top plate 3 on the top surface, a front plate 5 having a blow grill 4 of the outdoor blower, a left plate that has a lattice-like air suction port 6 and covers the left side surface and the left back surface. 7 and the right side plate 8 covering the right side rear surface from the right side surface form a substantially horizontal rectangular parallelepiped shape.
A left handle 9 made of resin is attached to the upper portion of the left side surface of the left side plate 7 using the hole of the air suction port 6, and a right side surface of the right side plate 8 is used for pipe connection and connection of connection wires. A vertically long lid 11 that covers the service port 10 is provided, and a right handle 12 is integrally provided on the top of the lid 11.

  The bottom plate 2 is formed in a dish shape by drawing a substantially rectangular iron plate, and a pair of leg portions 13 are attached to the bottom surface by spot welding or the like. In addition, a pair of recesses 14 for handling are formed on the inner side of the heel from the left and right ends and in parallel with the left and right sides, stabilizing the position of the fingers during transportation and installation work, and preventing the fingers from slipping. Working efficiency is also improved by facilitating handling.

  Reference numeral 15 denotes a lower packing material for protecting the bottom surface of the heat source unit 1, and a pair of right and left lower cushioning materials 17 and 18 made of styrene foam matched to the shape of the bottom surface of the heat source unit 1 on the left and right upper surfaces of the cardboard lower frame plate 16. It is attached. And the space 19 * 20 which inserts an operator's finger is provided in the part facing the said recessed part 14 for a hand, and the heat-source unit 1 can be lifted as it is.

  Reference numeral 21 denotes an upper packaging material for protecting the upper surface of the heat source unit 1, and a pair of upper cushioning materials 23, 24 made of polystyrene foam matched to the shape of the upper surface of the heat source unit 1 are attached to the left and right bottom surfaces of the upper frame plate 22 made of cardboard. It has been.

  Reference numeral 25 denotes a resin-made binding band, which fixes the heat source unit 1 between the packing materials 15 and 21 in the up-down direction, and is provided in two on the front-rear and left-right sides.

  If the unpacking procedure at the time of installation is demonstrated, the heat-source unit 1 of a packing state will be conveyed to the installation site vicinity, and the said four binding bands 25 will be cut off with scissors or a carter. Next, if the upper packaging material 21 is removed, the heat source unit 1 appears. Therefore, if the operator inserts fingers into the spaces 19 and 20 between the bottom plate 2 of the heat source unit 1 and the lower cushioning materials 17 and 18 and lifts them with the fingers on the handle recess 14 provided on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 2. The heat source unit 1 can be lifted up easily and safely, and can be carried to the installation position of the heat source unit 1 as it is.

As described above, since the recessed portion 14 for handling is provided in the vicinity of the left and right ends of the bottom surface of the bottom plate 2 so as to be substantially parallel to the left and right side plates 7 and 8, the position of the hand on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 2 is stabilized and the installation work is made safer. It can be performed and the installation work can be made more efficient.
Further, by providing spaces 19 and 20 in which the operator inserts his hands from the left and right sides in the lower packing material 15 facing the recess 14, the bottom packing material 15 is directly attached to the recess 14 of the bottom plate 2 without removing the packing material on the bottom surface. The instrument can be lifted by placing a hand, and the installation work can be performed more efficiently.
