  • Patent number: 10386083
    Abstract: There is provided an outdoor unit of an air conditioner which receives a load which is applied to a top panel using an entirety of a housing, and the top panel and a fan guard do not easily deform. A lower end of a bell mouth is fixed to a front beam and a rear beam of the housing, and an upper end of the bell mouth is caused to come into contact with a back face of the top panel to support the load which is applied to the top panel with the bell mouth.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10228149
    Abstract: An outdoor unit of an air conditioner which is capable of increasing mechanical strength of a fan guard to suppress deformation of the fan guard, and further, is capable of preventing generation of a chattering sound is provided. A diameter of wire rods which configure a lateral rail portion of the fan guard is greater than a diameter of wire rods which configure a longitudinal rail portion of the fan guard, cross-sectional crank shaped fixing plates are provided on both left and right end portions of the lateral rail portion, and the fan guard is screwed to the top panel via the fixing plates.

  • Patent number: 10126003
    Abstract: Provided is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner capable of obtaining stable air blowing performance without enlarging a blower fan and decreasing the amount of air per unit area (wind velocity distribution) passing through the heat exchanger even if the capacity of the heat exchanger is enlarged by optimizing a relative arrangement and a configuration of a heat exchanger and a blower and effectively utilizing the wind of the blower which is conventionally wasted. The rotation shaft of the first blower is disposed closer to the center line in the lateral direction of the housing than the center line in a lateral direction of the left blower chamber, and the rotation shaft of the second blower is disposed closer to the center line in the lateral direction of the housing than the center line in a lateral direction of the right blower chamber.

  • Patent number: 10113755
    Abstract: Provided is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner capable of obtaining efficient air blowing performance by optimizing a length dimension of a heat exchanger and a relative position of a blower. A front end portion is disposed closer to the left side panel than a rotation shaft of the first blower, and a rear end portion is disposed closer to the right side panel than a rotation shaft of the first blower in the first heat exchanger, and a front end portion is disposed closer to the right side panel than a rotation shaft of the second blower, and a rear end portion is disposed closer to the left side panel than a rotation shaft of the second blower in the second heat exchanger.

  • Patent number: 10066842
    Abstract: Provided is an outdoor unit of an air conditioner which has good assembly stability by more cheaply and easily increasing mechanical strength of a housing, and in which the cost thereof is further suppressed by reducing the number of components such as screws, as an outdoor unit of a large air conditioner including two blowers. The left front pillar and the right front pillar are fixed between the front beam and the base panel hung between the front ends of the left side panel and the right side panel, and the rear pillar is fixed between the rear beam and the base panel hung between the rear ends of the left side panel and the right side panel. Therefore, the front beam and the rear beam are prevented from being distorted or bent, and thus mechanical strength of the entire housing is enhanced.
