Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an outdoor unit for an air conditioner configured so that air sucked from a lateral side through a heat exchanger by an outdoor fan is upwards blown out.
  • an outdoor unit for an air conditioner that has an air blower at the upper portion of a housing and air sucked from a side surface of the housing is upwards blown out by an air blower (for example, see Japanese Patent No. 3,985,840 ).
  • a motor of the air blower is supported from the lower side so as to be mounted on a motor support table configured to be U-shaped in section.
  • the motor support table is disposed so that an U-shaped opening thereof faces the motor side, and a rectifying member for blocking the U-shaped opening is provided, thereby suppressing occurrence of eddy of airflow.
  • the motor support table is provided with a triangular rectifying member on a surface of the motor support table which is located at the upstream side of air flow passing through the surrounding area of the motor support table so that the triangular rectifying member projects to the upstream side of the airflow.
  • the airflow is rectified by the triangular rectifying member to reduce the ventilation resistance (resistance to the airflow).
  • the apex of the triangular rectifying member which faces the upstream side of the airflow is located substantially at the center portion in the width direction of the motor support table, whereby the airflow is substantially equally and straight rectified to the downstream side of the airflow at both the sides of the apex portion of the rectifying member.

Therefore, air reaching the whole area of the lower surface portion of the motor support table 17 can be enabled to obliquely upwardly flow along the slope surface 663A to the outer surface side of the unit case 11 and further flow to the outer radial direction of the propeller fan 24. Therefore, a larger amount of airflow can be made to flow to the outer radial portion side of the propeller fan 24 at which the rotational speed is higher, so that the airflow amount can be increased and the ventilation resistance caused by the motor support tables 17 can be reduced.
  • the rectifying plate 640 is formed of a plate member which is bent to be substantially V-shaped in section, and it has a slope plate portion 642 (having a substantially V-shaped section) which has an apex portion 641 extending along the motor support table 17 below the substantially center portion of the fan motor 23 and is upwardly sloped from the apex portion 641 to the lower ends of the outer plate portions 73 of the motor support tables 17 and has an apex portion 641, and fixing plate portions 643 which are continuous with the slope plate portion 642 and substantially vertically upwardly extend along the outer plate portions 73.
  • the rectifying member 640 is provided at the lower side of the fan motor 23 so as to be overlapped with the fan motor 23 in plan view.
  • the rectifying plate 640 prevents air from staying below the fan motor 23 to reduce the ventilation resistance of airflow. Therefore, it is desired to have such a size that the fan motor 23 is covered by the rectifying plate 640.
  • the rectifying plate 640 is excessively large in size, the amount of air flowing around the fan motor 23 is reduced b the rectifying plate 640, and the fan motor 23 may be insufficiently cooled. Therefore, in this embodiment, the length L1 of the rectifying plate 640 in the extending direction of the motor support table 17 is set to be smaller than the outer diameter L2 of the fan motor 23 as shown in Fig. 19 , whereby the fan motor 23 can be cooled and also the ventilation resistance can be reduced.
  • the rectifying member 661 is secured to the lower surface of the motor support table 17, and thus the rectifying plate 640 is secured to the motor support table 17 while overlaid on the rectifying member 661.
  • the fixing plate portions 643 of the rectifying plate 640 are overlaid on the fixing plate portions 664 of the rectifying members 661, and fixed to the outer plate portions 73 of the motor support tables 17 by bolts 666 together with the fixing plate portions 664.
  • the rectifying plate 640 When the rectifying plate 640 is fixed to the motor support table 17, it has a downwardly tapered and substantially triangular (convex) shape in section, and the apex portion 641 of the V-shaped rectifying plate 640 projects to the upstream side of airflow substantially at the center portion of the fan motor 23.
  • the outer surface portion of the slope plate portion 642 serves as the slope surface 642A which upwardly slopes from the apex portion 641 to the outer surface side of the unit case 11. This slope surface 642A is formed to be uniformly upwardly sloped from the apex portion 641 to the outer plate portions 73 of the motor support tables 17.
  • air which reaches the whole area of the lower surface portion of the fan motor 23 can be made to flow obliquely upwardly along the slope surface 642A to the outer surface side of the unit case 11, and further flow to the outer radial direction of the propeller fan 24. Therefore, a larger amount of air can be made to flow to the outer radial portion side of the propeller fan 24 at which the rotational speed is higher. Therefore, the airflow amount can be increased, and the ventilation resistance caused by the fan motor 23 can be reduced.
  • the apex portion 641 of the rectifying plate 640 is located below the substantially center portion of the fan motor 23, and thus air reaching the lower surface portion of the fan motor 23 can be substantially equally divided, so that the air can be efficiently discharged to the outside of the unit case 11 with suppressing unevenness of the airflow amount.
  • the gradient angles of the slope plate portions 642 and 664 of the rectifying plate 640 and the rectifying member are se to be substantially equal to each other.
  • the rectifying plate 640 and the rectifying member 6612 are brought into close contact with each other. Therefore, the ventilation resistance can be reduced, and the airflow directions of air flowing along the slope surfaces 642A and 663A of the rectifying plate 640 and the rectifying member 661 can be coincident with each other, and thus the rectifying effect can be enhanced.
  • the upper portion of the accumulator 31 is provided with the support member 38 through which the accumulator 31 is supported by the unit case 11.
  • the support member 38 also causes ventilation resistance as in the case of the fan motor 23 and the motor support tables 17 . Therefore, the support member 38 is formed of a metal round rod, and fixing portions 38A and 38b are formed at both the ends of the round rod.
  • One fixing portion 38A is fixed to the upper portion of the accumulator 31, and the other fixing portion 38 is fixed to the frame plate 616B located at the back surface side of the upper frame 616.
  • the support member 38 is formed of a round rod, whereby the projection area thereof can be reduced, and the outer surface of the support member 38 is made smooth. Therefore, the ventilation resistance can be reduced.
  • the support member 38 is disposed so as to be overlapped with the apex portion 641 of the rectifying plate 640 in plan view.
  • air which is disturbed when passing over the support member 38 is divided by the apex portion 641 of the rectifying plate 640, so that the disturbance of the air can be suppressed to the minimum one. Therefore, as compared with a case where the support member 38 is provided at other places, the ventilation resistance can be more greatly reduced, and the ventilation resistance of the outdoor unit can be reduced.
  • the diameter L4 of the air suction opening 25B ( Fig. 15 ) of the bell mouth 25 is set to be larger than the width L3 of the opening portion of the upper frame 616 disposed above the heat exchanger 22, and thus the outer diameter of the propeller fan 24 can be increased, so that the airflow amount can be increased.
  • the diameter L4 of the air suction opening 25B ( Fig. 15 ) of the bell mouth 25 is set to be larger than the width L3 of the opening portion of the upper frame 616 disposed above the heat exchanger 22, and thus the outer diameter of the propeller fan 24 can be increased, so that the airflow amount can be increased.
  • the inner wall (inner peripheral surface) 29 of the bell mouth 25 is located at a more exterior position as compared with the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21, so that a step 70 is formed between the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger and the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25. Accordingly, air trap (stay) occurs at this step 70, so that airflow is deteriorated and the ventilation resistance is increased.
  • the upper frame 616 is provided with the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 which upwardly slope from the upper end portion of the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21 to the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25.
  • the heat exchanger 21 is bent to be substantially U-shape in section, and thus the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 are disposed at the portions corresponding to the left side surface, back surface and right side surface of the unit case 11.
  • the airflow deflecting plates 681 ad 683 disposed on both the side surfaces have the same shape, and thus the airflow deflecting plate 681 will be described hereunder.
  • the airflow deflecting plate 681 has a trapezoidal airflow deflecting plate body 681A which is narrower in width at the upper portion thereof, and a fixing plate portion 681B which is continuous with the lower end of the airflow deflecting plate body 681A and extends vertically downwardly.
  • the fixing plate portion 68B is fixed to the fixing piece portion 616A1 of the frame plate 616A disposed at the left side surface side of the upper frame 616 by bolts 685.
  • the airflow deflecting plate 683 has an airflow deflecting plate body 683A and a fixing plate portion 683B.
  • the airflow deflecting plate 682 disposed at the back surface side has substantially the same construction as the airflow deflecting plate 681, and has an airflow deflecting body 682A and a fixing plate portion 682B.
  • the motor support tables 17 are fixed to the frame plate 616B at the back surface side, and cutouts 682C for avoiding the motor support tables 17 are formed in the airflow defecting body 682A/
  • the outdoor unit is provided with the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 which are upwardly sloped from the upper end portion of the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21 to the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25. Accordingly, air flows to the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25 in a direction indicated by an arrow D in Fig. 21 along the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683, whereby air can be prevented from staying at the step 70 between the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21 and the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth, and the ventilation resistance can be reduced.
  • the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 are provided to be sloped at such an angle that the upper end portions 681A1 to 683A1 are positionally lower than the tip portions 46A of the blades 46 of the propeller fan 24. According to this construction, air can be prevented from being trapped (staying) at the step 70 between the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21 and the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25 with preventing the interference between the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 and the propeller fan 24.
  • the outdoor unit 610 for the air conditioner which has the heat exchanger 21 disposed on the bottom plate 12 of the unit case 11 to form at least one side surface of the unit case 11
  • the bell mouth 25 is configured so that the inner wall 29 thereof is outwardly larger in diameter than the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21. Therefore, the outer diameter of the propeller fan 24 can be increased, and the airflow amount can be increased.
  • the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 which upwardly slope from the upper end portion of the inner surface 21A of the heat exchanger 21 to the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25 are provided.
  • the heat exchanger 21 is designed to have a substantially U-shaped section along the back surface and the right and left side surfaces of the unit case 11, and the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 are provided to the respective surfaces of the U-shaped unit case 11. Therefore, air can be prevented from staying at the step 70 between the inner surface 21a of the heat exchanger 21 and the inner wall 29 of the bell mouth 25 with implementing miniaturization of the unit case 11, and the ventilation resistance can be reduced.
  • the frame plates 616A to 616C are provided so as to extend along the upper surface portion of the heat exchanger 21 and support the pair of motor support tables 17 for supporting the fan motor 23 of the outdoor fan 622, and the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 are fixed to the frame plates 616A to 616C, whereby the airflow deflecting plates 681 to 683 can be easily fixed.
