<Overview of heat pump cycle device>
In this embodiment, a heat pump cycle device is exemplified as an air conditioner. Fig. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of the heat pump cycle device of this embodiment. Fig. 1 shows a heat pump type hot water heating device as an air conditioner as an example. As shown in Fig. 1, the heat pump cycle device 1 includes an outdoor unit 10 and an indoor unit 90.

The outdoor unit 10 of the heat pump cycle device 1 includes a compressor 110, a four-way valve 120, a water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, a water pump (circulation pump) 130, an expansion valve 150, an outdoor heat exchanger 160, an accumulator 170, an outdoor air temperature sensor 180, a blower 190, and a control unit 300. In the outdoor unit 10, the compressor 110, the four-way valve 120, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, the expansion valve 150, the outdoor heat exchanger (air-refrigerant heat exchanger) 160, and the accumulator 170 are connected in sequence by refrigerant piping 19 to form a refrigerant circuit 1c in the heat pump cycle device 1. The blower 190 includes a propeller fan and a motor that drives the propeller fan.

The indoor unit 90 of the heat pump cycle device 1 includes an indoor unit 900. In the indoor unit 90, the indoor unit 900, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, and the water pump 140 are connected in sequence by water piping 95 to form a hot water circuit 1h in the heat pump cycle device 1.

<Configuration of refrigerant circuit>
Each of the devices constituting the refrigerant circuit 1c will now be described in more detail.

The compressor 110 is driven by a motor (not shown) whose rotation speed is controlled by an inverter. The compressor 110 is a variable capacity compressor whose operating capacity can be changed. The compressor 110 compresses the sucked low pressure gas refrigerant and discharges high pressure gas refrigerant. The four-way valve 120 is a flow path switching valve for switching the refrigerant circulation direction in the refrigerant circuit 1c. The water refrigerant heat exchanger 130 is, for example, a plate type heat exchanger. The water refrigerant heat exchanger 130 functions as a user side heat exchanger, and exchanges heat between the refrigerant flowing through the refrigerant pipe 19 and flowing into the water refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water flowing through the water pipe 95 and flowing into the water refrigerant heat exchanger 130.

The expansion valve 150 is an electronic expansion valve whose valve opening is controlled by pulse control of a stepping motor. The expansion valve 150 reduces the pressure (expands) the liquid refrigerant passing through the expansion valve 150. The outdoor heat exchanger 160 is, for example, a fin-tube type heat exchanger. The outdoor heat exchanger 160 functions as a heat source side heat exchanger, and exchanges heat between the refrigerant that flows through the refrigerant piping 19 and into the outdoor heat exchanger 160 and the outside air (outdoor air) taken in by the rotation of the blower 190. The accumulator 170 separates the refrigerant that flows in from the four-way valve 120 into gas refrigerant and liquid refrigerant, and only the gas refrigerant is sucked into the compressor 110.

The blower 190 is disposed inside the housing 101, near the outdoor heat exchanger 160 disposed inside the housing 101. The blower 190 takes in outside air from the air inlet (described below) of the outdoor unit 10 into the interior of the outdoor unit 10, and releases the outside air that has exchanged heat with the refrigerant in the outdoor heat exchanger 160 to the outside of the outdoor unit 10 from the air outlet (described below).

An outdoor air temperature sensor 180 is provided near the outdoor heat exchanger 160, facing the outside of the housing 101. The outdoor air temperature sensor 180 detects the temperature of the outdoor air taken into the outdoor unit 10 by the rotation of the blower 190.

<Hot water circuit configuration>
In the outdoor unit 10, the water piping 95 is connected to the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 in addition to the refrigerant piping 19. The indoor unit 900 and the water pump 140 are connected to the water piping 95 in this order. The water pump 140 is driven by a motor with a fixed rotation speed or a motor with a variable rotation speed. As a result, water circulates in the hot water circuit 1h in the direction of the solid arrow. For example, water circulates through the water piping 95 in the order of the water pump 140, the indoor unit 900, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, and the water pump 140 again. The indoor unit 900 is a terminal for heating the room, such as a floor heating device or a radiator. That is, the water circulating through the hot water circuit 1h dissipates heat in the indoor unit 900, thereby heating the air-conditioned space in which the indoor unit 90 is installed.

<Control unit>
The control unit 300 includes a CPU for performing calculations and transmitting information, various programs related to the operation control of the heat pump cycle device 1, requests related to operation set by the user in the indoor unit 900 (such as a set temperature), a memory unit for storing the set temperature set in the indoor unit 900 and values detected by various sensors provided in the refrigerant circuit 1c or the hot water circuit 1h, a sensor input unit for taking in the detection values of various sensors provided in the refrigerant circuit 1c or the hot water circuit 1h, and a receiving unit for receiving signals transmitted from a remote control (not shown) for operating the indoor unit 90. These CPU, memory unit, sensor input unit, and receiving unit are mounted on, for example, a control board (circuit board). The control unit 300 controls the compressor 110, the four-way valve 120, the water pump 140, the expansion valve 150, and the like based on the values detected by the various sensors and various requests related to operation.

The interior of the outdoor unit 10 is divided into a heat exchange chamber 10H and a machine chamber 10M by a partition plate 20 (Fig. 3). In the outdoor unit 10, the outdoor heat exchanger 160 and the blower 190 are disposed in the heat exchange chamber 10H of the outdoor unit 10. The compressor 110, the four-way valve 120, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, the water pump 140, the expansion valve 150, and the accumulator 170 are disposed in the machine chamber 10M of the outdoor unit 10 (not shown in Fig. 3).

The outdoor air temperature sensor 180 is disposed near the outdoor heat exchanger 160 on the opposite side to the blower 190. For example, the outdoor air temperature sensor 180 is disposed at the rear of the outdoor heat exchanger 160, at the intake port 103 where the blower 190 blows outdoor air into the outdoor unit 10. The control unit 300 may be disposed in the heat exchange chamber 10H of the outdoor unit 10, or in the machine chamber 10M. The control unit 300 may also be disposed across the machine chamber 10M and the heat exchange chamber 10H. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the control unit 300 is disposed across the machine chamber 10M and the heat exchange chamber 10H.

<Operation of the refrigerant circuit and the hot water circuit>
The operation of the heat pump cycle device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

<Heating operation>
When the heat pump cycle device 1 performs a heating operation, the four-way valve 120 is operated to set the refrigerant circuit 1c to a heating cycle. When the compressor 110 is driven in this state, the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant circuit 1c in the direction of the solid arrow. The refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 flows through the refrigerant pipe 19, passes through the four-way valve 120, and flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130.

The refrigerant that flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 circulates through the hot water circuit 1h and exchanges heat with water in the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, where it condenses. The refrigerant that flows out of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 into the refrigerant piping 19 is decompressed as it passes through the expansion valve 150, and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 160.

The refrigerant that flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 160 exchanges heat with the outside air and evaporates. The refrigerant that flows out of the outdoor heat exchanger 160 into the refrigerant piping 19 is drawn into the compressor 110 via the four-way valve 120 and the accumulator 170 and is compressed again.

Meanwhile, in the hot water circuit 1h, the water pump 140 is driven to cause water to flow in the hot water circuit 1h in the direction of the solid arrow. The water that flows through the water piping 95 and enters the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 exchanges heat with the refrigerant, whereby it is heated by the refrigerant and becomes hot water. This hot water flows into the indoor unit 900. The hot water flowing through the indoor unit 900 heats the room in which the indoor unit 900 is installed.

<Defrosting and cooling operation>
When the heat pump cycle apparatus 1 is performing a heating operation, frost may form on the outdoor heat exchanger 160 functioning as an evaporator. In this case, the outdoor unit 10 can perform a defrosting operation of the outdoor heat exchanger 160.

For example, when the heat pump cycle device 1 performs a defrosting operation, the four-way valve 120 is operated to switch the flow direction of the refrigerant in the refrigerant circuit 1c so that the outdoor heat exchanger 160 functions as a condenser. In other words, the refrigerant circuit 1c operates in a cooling cycle. When the compressor 110 is driven in this state, the refrigerant flows through the refrigerant circuit 1c in the direction of the dashed arrow. The refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110 flows through the refrigerant pipe 19, passes through the four-way valve 120, and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 160. At this time, the blower 190 is stopped.

The refrigerant that flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 160 melts the frost that has formed in the outdoor heat exchanger 160 by the heat of the refrigerant. The refrigerant that flows out from the outdoor heat exchanger 160 to the refrigerant pipe 19 passes through the expansion valve 150, which is fully open, and flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, where it circulates through the hot water circuit 1h and evaporates by exchanging heat with the water that has flowed into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130. The refrigerant that flows out from the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 to the refrigerant pipe 19 is sucked into the compressor 110 via the four-way valve 120 and the accumulator 170, and is compressed again.

The outdoor unit 10 can be used not only for heating operation, but also for cooling operation. When the outdoor unit 10 is used in a heat pump type hot/cold water air conditioner, the above cooling cycle is applied. In this case, the cold refrigerant that has released heat in the outdoor heat exchanger 160 flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and exchanges heat with the water in the hot water circuit 1h flowing through the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 to turn the water in the hot water circuit 1h into cold water. As a result, cold water flows into the indoor unit 900, and the cold water circulating in the hot water circuit 1h absorbs heat in the indoor unit 900, cooling the air-conditioned space in which the indoor unit 90 is installed.

The air outlet 102 is covered by a mesh-like fan guard 101g provided in front of the front panel 101f. When the housing 101 is viewed from above, the fan guard 101g is bent in an L-shape and is positioned along the front portion 101fa and left side portion 101fb of the front panel 101f.

On the rear side of the housing 101, the area between the rear portion 101ba of the rear panel 101b and the rear portion 101lb of the left side panel 101l forms the air inlet 103 of the outdoor unit 10 (Figure 3). The outdoor heat exchanger 160 is exposed at the air inlet 103 of the housing 101. Behind the outdoor heat exchanger 160, a finger guard 101z is provided to protect the outdoor heat exchanger 160 from direct impact. The finger guard 101z is formed of wire.

The air inlet 103 is provided with an outside air temperature sensor 180 that detects the temperature of the outside air drawn into the air inlet 103. The outside air temperature sensor 180 is fixed to the rear part 101ba of the rear panel 101b. The outside air temperature sensor 180 is disposed at the right end 103e of the air inlet 103. The outside air temperature sensor 180 is disposed at a position slightly higher than half the height of the air inlet 103 in the vertical direction (height: height from the ground surface of the outdoor unit 10 or height from the bottom plate 101d). The outside air temperature sensor 180 is provided at the air inlet 103, for example, near the partition plate 20 disposed inside the housing 101.

The inside of the housing 101 of the outdoor unit 10 is divided by the partition plate 20 into a heat exchange chamber 10H on the left side when viewed from the front and a machine chamber 10M on the right side (Figs. 3 and 4). Furthermore, the machine chamber 10M is divided into two in the left-right direction by a virtual plane 10ZY (a virtual plane indicated by dots) surrounded by a dashed line 10LL. Details of dividing the machine chamber 10M in the left-right direction by this virtual plane 10ZY will be described later. The partition plate 20 is fixed to the bottom plate 101d. The heat exchange chamber 10H of this embodiment is surrounded by the top plate 101u, the bottom plate 101d, the front panel 101f, the left side panel 101l, and the partition plate 20.

Figure 5 is a schematic perspective view of the outdoor unit of the heat pump cycle device. Figure 5 shows the outdoor unit 10 viewed obliquely from the front, with the top plate 101u, right side panel 101r, and service panel 101s removed from the housing 101. Figure 6 is a schematic top view of the outdoor unit of the heat pump cycle device. Figure 6 shows the housing 101 viewed from the top plate 101u toward the bottom plate 101d. Note that in the state of Figure 6, the top plate 101u has been removed from the housing 101. Also, in Figure 6, the recess 28 of the partition plate 20, which will be described later, is omitted.

The heat exchange chamber 10H accommodates, for example, an outdoor heat exchanger 160 and a blower 190. The outdoor heat exchanger 160 is fixed to the bottom plate 101d. When viewed from above the housing 101, the outdoor heat exchanger 160 is formed in an L-shape. For example, the outdoor heat exchanger 160 has a first heat exchange section 160a extending in the left-right direction, a second heat exchange section 160b extending in the front-rear direction, and a curved third heat exchange section 160c connecting the first heat exchange section 160a and the second heat exchange section 160b.

The blower 190 is positioned in the front-rear direction so as to face the first heat exchange section 160a of the outdoor heat exchanger 160 and to be close to the outlet 102. As the blower 190 rotates, outside air flows into the heat exchange chamber 10H from the intake port 103, and the outside air passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 160, exchanging heat between the outside air and the refrigerant flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger 160. The outside air that has passed through the outdoor heat exchanger 160 is discharged from the heat exchange chamber 10H through the outlet 102 by the rotation of the blower 190.

The machine room 10M contains components that form the refrigerant circuit 1c, such as the compressor 110, the four-way valve 120, the expansion valve 150, and the accumulator 170. These components are connected by the refrigerant piping 19. The compressor 110 and the accumulator 170 are fixed to the bottom plate 101d. The machine room 10M also contains components that form the hot water circuit 1h, such as the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140. These components are connected by the water piping 95. The rear part 101ba of the rear panel 101b is provided with an inlet 91 through which water from the indoor unit 900 flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130, and an outlet 92 through which water flows out from the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 to the indoor unit 900. The water piping 95 is connected to the inlet 91 and the inlet 92.

The partition plate 20 has a first portion 21 and a second portion 22, and is fixed to the bottom plate 101d. A bent portion 25 is provided between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 so that the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 intersect. The partition plate 20 has the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 with the bent portion 25 sandwiched between them. The first portion 21 is arranged along a direction intersecting the front-rear direction. The second portion 22 is arranged along the front-rear direction. The angle between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 is an obtuse angle. The first portion 21 is arranged closer to the outdoor heat exchanger 160 than the second portion 22. The angle between the first portion 21 and the outdoor heat exchanger 160 is an acute angle. A part of the space of the heat exchange chamber 10H is formed between the first portion 21 and the outdoor heat exchanger 160. The width of the first portion 21 in the intersecting direction is narrower than the width of the second portion 22 in the front-rear direction.

Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are schematic top views showing the machine chamber of the outdoor unit. In Fig. 7, the components arranged in the machine chamber 10M are omitted, and further, in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, a recess 28 of a partition plate 20, which will be described later, is omitted. In addition, Fig. 9 and Fig. 10 are schematic perspective views showing the positional relationship between the partition plate and the compressor. Fig. 9 shows a state viewed from the machine chamber 10M side, and Fig. 10 shows a state viewed from the heat exchange chamber 10HM side.

As described above, the inside of the housing 101 of the outdoor unit 10 is divided into a heat exchange chamber 10H on the left side and a machine room 10M on the right side by the partition plate 20 when viewed from the front. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when the inside of the machine room 10M of the outdoor unit 10 is viewed from above, the machine room 10M is divided into two sections (two spaces) in the left-right direction by a boundary line (dashed line) 10BL. Here, "plan view" means a case where the outdoor unit 10 is cut horizontally and viewed from directly above, for example, a case where the outdoor unit 10 is cut on a plane perpendicular to the Z axis, which is the vertical direction of the machine room 10M, and viewed from directly above (in the Z-axis direction). This boundary line 10BL is a virtual line segment created when the virtual plane 10ZY shown in FIG. 4 is viewed from above, that is, by a plane perpendicular to the Z axis. In other words, if the boundary lines 10BL are connected continuously in the vertical direction, the plane 10ZY shown in Figure 4 is formed. In this way, the machine room 10M has imaginary plane 10fa (a plane surrounded by the boundary line 10BL and the dashed line 10LA) and plane 10fb (a plane surrounded by the boundary line 10BL and the dashed line 10LB). Plane 10fa and plane 10fb are imaginary planes at any position in the vertical direction of the machine room 10M.

As shown in FIG. 8, the machine room 10M having the two planes 10fa and 10fb is divided into a left section (space) to which the plane 10fa belongs and a right section (space) to which the plane 10fb belongs. In this embodiment, the left section (space) is the first section 10A, and the right section (space) is the second section 10B. The inside of the machine room 10M is divided into the first section 10A and the second section 10B, which have a predetermined height, in order from the side of the partition plate 20. At this time, the compressor 110 and the accumulator 170 are arranged in the first section 10A, and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 is arranged in the second section 10B. In addition, the water pump 140 is arranged in the second section 10B. In this embodiment, the first section 10A and the second section 10B are each longer in the front-rear direction than in the left-right direction, and have a vertically elongated shape when viewed in a plan view. The partition plate 20 is arranged so that the first portion 21 intersects with the second portion 22 from the bent portion 25. As a result, the length of the first section 10A on the second portion 22 side of the partition plate 20 in the front-rear direction is shorter than the length of the imaginary plane 10fa in the front-rear direction. By forming a part of the first section 10A shorter in the front-rear direction, a space is formed in which the end of the outdoor heat exchanger 160 adjacent to the first portion 21 of the partition plate 20 is placed. This allows the circumferential length (left-right length and up-down length) of the outdoor heat exchanger 160 to be made longer.

In the first section 10A, the accumulator 170 and the compressor 110 are aligned in the front-rear direction. For example, in the first section 10A, the compressor 110 is disposed on the front side of the housing 101, and the accumulator 170 is disposed on the rear side of the housing 101. The accumulator 170 and the compressor 110 are aligned along the second part 22 of the partition plate 20. In the second section 10B, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 are aligned in the front-rear direction. For example, in the second section 10B, the water pump 140 is disposed on the front side of the housing 101, and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 is disposed on the rear side of the housing 101. The water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 are aligned along the direction in which the accumulator 170 and the compressor 110 are aligned. In other words, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 are aligned in the front-rear direction.

9, the compressor 110 has, for example, a cylindrical outer shell 110a having a motor and a compression mechanism therein (not shown), and a support part 110b that supports the compressor 110 at the bottom of the shell. The support part 110b has a stage 110s that has a triangular planar shape, and a through hole is provided at each of the three corners. A part of each of the fastening members 110ff1, 110ff2, and 110ff3 (for example, a bolt described later) is inserted into the through hole. The compressor 110 is fixed to the bottom plate 101d by three fixing parts 110f (fixing parts 110f1, 110f2, and 110f3). The fixing portion 110f is composed of fastening members 110ff1, 110ff2, and 110ff3, which are made of, for example, a bolt, a nut, and a cylindrical elastic rubber that suppresses the propagation of vibration, through holes provided in the stage 110s through which the fastening members pass, and through holes provided in the bottom plate 101d. In the compressor 110, two of the three fixing portions 110f, 110f1 and 110f2, are arranged along the second portion 22 of the partition plate 20.

In this manner, in this embodiment, the compressor 110 and accumulator 170 that form the refrigerant circuit 1c, and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and water pump 140 that form the hot water circuit 1h are arranged in the machine room 10M of the housing 101. Furthermore, the machine room 10 is divided into a first section 10A and a second section 10B that are vertically long. The compressor 110 and the accumulator 170 are arranged in the first section 10A so as to be aligned in the front-rear direction, and the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 are arranged in the second section 10B so as to be aligned in the front-rear direction. That is, the compressor 110 and the accumulator 170 are arranged in the front-rear direction inside the first section 10A that is long in the front-rear direction. Also, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 are arranged in the front-rear direction inside the second section 10B that is long in the front-rear direction.

By arranging the compressor 110 and the accumulator 170 so as to be aligned in the front-rear direction, the length of the first section 10A in the left-right direction can be reduced. By arranging the compressor 110 on the front side, two of the fixing parts 110f of the compressor 110, 110f1 and 110f3, can be seen from the front side. The compressor 110 is fixed to the bottom plate 101d by three fastening parts 110ff1, 110ff2, and 110ff3 inserted into the support part 110b. When fixing the compressor 110 to the bottom plate 101d, the worker can access the two fastening members 110ff1 and 110ff3 arranged on the front side from the front side, so that the installation and removal work of the compressor 110 (for example, the worker can tighten and loosen the nut) can be easily performed. On the other hand, by arranging the accumulator 170 on the rear side, the distance between the accumulator 170 and the partition plate 20 side end of the outdoor heat exchanger 160 is shortened. This shortens the length of the refrigerant piping, and reduces the volume of the refrigerant piping arrangement space in the machine room 10M. In addition, in this embodiment, a four-way valve 120 is provided on the rear side of the accumulator 170 (Figure 6). The four-way valve 120 is a valve that switches the flow path of the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant discharged from the compressor 110. For example, when generating hot water, the refrigerant discharged from the compressor is passed through the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130.

Also, by arranging the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 side by side in the front-to-back direction, the length of the second section 10B in the left-to-right direction can be reduced. By arranging the water pump 140 on the front side, it becomes easier for workers to access the water pump 140 from the front. On the other hand, by arranging the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 on the rear side, the distance between the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the four-way valve is shortened. This shortens the length of the refrigerant piping when generating hot water, and prevents the temperature of the refrigerant from decreasing before it flows into the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130.

With this arrangement, even if the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 is placed inside the housing 101 of the outdoor unit 10, the arrangement area of the compressor 110 and accumulator 170 and the arrangement area of the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and water pump 140 can be effectively utilized, and the housing 101 can be prevented from becoming larger.

In addition, in this embodiment, the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140 are placed in the second section 10B on the service panel 101s side. This allows the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140, which form the hot water circuit 1h, to be installed independently of the refrigerant circuit 1c, even after the compressor 110 and the accumulator 170 are installed in the machine room 10M, making it easier to install the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130 and the water pump 140.

In addition, in this embodiment, two of the three fixed parts 110f of the compressor 110 (fixed part 110f1, fixed part 110f2) are arranged along the partition plate 20. This makes it possible to reduce the distance between the partition plate 20 and the remaining fixed part 11f3. In other words, the compressor 110 can be arranged close to the partition plate 20, and the length of the first section 10A in the left-right direction can be reduced. This prevents the housing 101 from becoming larger. In addition, the arrangement of parts other than the compressor 110 is less likely to be hindered by the fixed part 110f of the compressor 110, improving the degree of freedom in the arrangement of parts other than the compressor 110.

The partition plate 20 has a first portion 21, a second portion 22, and a bent portion 25. The bent portion 25 is sandwiched between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22, and is provided between the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 so that the first portion 21 and the second portion 22 intersect. The first portion 21 is arranged along a direction intersecting the front-rear direction of the housing 101. The second portion 22 is arranged along the front-rear direction of the housing 101. The width of the first portion 21 is narrower than the width of the second portion 22.

For example, the partition plate 20 is provided with a convex portion 200 that protrudes toward the heat exchange chamber 10H. The convex portion 200 includes a first convex portion 210 and a second convex portion 220. The first convex portion 210 is provided on the first portion 21, and the second convex portion 220 is provided on the second portion 22. The portion of the second convex portion 220 on the bottom plate side faces the fixed portion 110f of the compressor 110.

The first protrusion 210 is formed on the first portion 21 of the partition plate 20. The first protrusion 210 is provided on the lower side of the first portion 21. The first protrusion 210 is formed, for example, in a frustum shape and protrudes from the base portion 210b of the first portion 21 toward the heat exchange chamber 10H. By providing the first protrusion 210 protruding toward the heat exchange chamber 10H on the partition plate 20, it is possible to ensure a distance between the refrigerant piping and the four-way valve connected to the compressor 110 and the partition plate 20. This makes it easier for an operator to install the refrigerant piping and the four-way valve in the heat exchange chamber 10H because they can avoid contact with the partition plate 20.

The second convex portion 220 is formed on the second portion 22 of the partition plate 20. The second convex portion 220 is provided on the lower side of the second portion 22. The second convex portion 220 is formed, for example, in a frustum shape and protrudes from the base portion 220b of the second portion 22 toward the heat exchange chamber 10H. In the machine chamber 10M, the second convex portion 220 faces the compressor 110.

By providing the partition plate 20 with such a convex portion protruding toward the heat exchange chamber 10H, the distance between the compressor 110 and the partition plate 20 can be secured. As a result, when an operator installs the compressor 10H in the heat exchange chamber 10H, the support portion supporting the compressor 110 can be brought close to the partition plate 20 while avoiding contact between the outer casing of the compressor and the partition plate 20. Specifically, since the support portion has a stage 110s with a triangular planar shape, one side of the stage 110s can be brought close to the lower end side of the partition plate 20. Fixing portions are provided at the corners of the stage 110s. Therefore, the portion of the partition plate 20 corresponding to the fixing portions protrudes toward the heat exchange chamber 10H. In addition, one end side of the first section 10A in the left-right direction protrudes toward the heat exchange chamber 10H. As a result, the left-right length of the first section 10A can be secured while preventing the housing 101 from becoming large.

In addition, in the partition plate 20, an opening 26 is provided on the bottom plate 101d side of the second portion 22. The opening 26 is provided, for example, on the bottom plate 101d side of the second protrusion 220. The opening 26 is closed by a lid portion 27. By opening the lid portion 27 to the heat exchange chamber 10H side, at least one of the fixing portions 110f (fixing portion 110f2) of the compressor 110 can be seen from the heat exchange chamber 10H toward the machine chamber 10M. The compressor 110 is fixed to the bottom plate 101d by three fixing portions 110f inserted into the support portion. When the compressor 110 is attached to or detached from the bottom plate 101d, by providing such an opening 26 in the partition plate 10, for example, the fixing work of the compressor 110 through the opening 26 can be easily performed. Therefore, even if the fixing parts 110f (fixing parts 110f1 and 110f2) are arranged along the partition plate 20 to prevent the housing 101 from becoming too large, the fixing parts 110f located on the rear side of the machine room 10M can be accessed without removing the partition plate 20, so the compressor 110 can be easily removed and attached. Note that even if the partition plate 20 does not have a protrusion, the partition plate 20 can have an opening 26.

The partition plate 20 is also provided with a recess 28 recessed towards the machine room 10M. For example, the recess 28 is provided in the upper part of the partition plate 20, and has a bottom portion 281, a side portion 282 and a side portion 283. The side portion 283 is connected to the bottom portion 281 and the side portion 282. The bottom portion 281 intersects with the side portion 282 and the side portion 283, respectively. The side portion 283 intersects with the side portion 282. The effect of providing the recess 28 will be described later.

Figures 11 and 12 are schematic perspective views showing the machine room of the outdoor unit. Figure 12 shows the state in which the control unit 300 and terminal block 350 shown in Figure 11 have been removed. Figures 11 and 12 also show the plane 10ZY shown in Figure 4 in the machine room 10M. In Figures 11 and 12, dots are added to some of the plane 10ZY to show the interior of the machine room 10M. Figure 13 is a schematic perspective view showing the control unit and terminal block arranged in the housing.

As described above, the machine room 10M is divided into two sections (first section 10A and second section 10B) in the left-right direction by a boundary line 10BL (Figure 7). A control unit 300 for the outdoor unit 10 is provided at the front upper part of the first section 10A of the machine room 10M. A terminal block 350 to which power is supplied from outside the outdoor unit 10 is provided at the upper part of the second section 10B of the machine room 10M. The terminal block 350 is located rearward of the control unit 300 in the front-rear direction.

The control unit 300 has a first control board 310 and a second control board 320. The first control board 310 is, for example, an intelligent power module (IPM) and controls the compressor 110, the blower 190, and the like. In this embodiment, the first control board 310 is arranged so that the component mounting surface on which electronic components such as the IPM are mounted faces downward in the vertical direction. In addition, the first control board 310 is arranged so that the longitudinal direction is along the left-right direction. Therefore, in this embodiment, the left end of the first control board 310 in the left-right direction is arranged in the heat exchange chamber 10H beyond the partition plate 22, and the right end of the first control board 310 is arranged in the second compartment 10B beyond the first compartment 10A. The second control board 320 controls, for example, the water pump 140, and the like. The second control board 320 is arranged so that the component mounting surface faces forward. In addition, the holding portion of the second control board 320 is fixed to the partition plate 20. In this embodiment, the second control board 320 fits entirely within the first section 10A. The first control board 310 is disposed above the second control board 320. The height of the second control board 320 from the bottom plate 101d is approximately the same as the height of the terminal block 350 from the bottom plate 101d. In addition, the machine compartment side surface of the side portion 282 that forms the recess 28 abuts against the holding portion 312 of the first control board 310 (FIG. 13). A portion of the holding portion of the first control board 310 is supported by the side portion 282.

In this way, the control unit 300 and the terminal block 350 are arranged at approximately the same height from the bottom plate 101d in the machine room 10M without being stacked in the vertical direction. Specifically, the height of the second control board 320 from the bottom plate 101d is approximately the same as the height of the terminal block 350 from the bottom plate 101d. This prevents the housing 101 from becoming larger in the vertical direction. In addition, the control unit 300 is arranged on the first section 10A side and above the compressor. On the other hand, the terminal block 350 is arranged on the second section 10B side and above the water-refrigerant heat exchanger 130. In this way, by arranging the control unit 300 and the terminal block 350 on the sides of different sections, the heights from the bottom plate 101d can be arranged at approximately the same height, and the housing 101 is prevented from becoming larger in the vertical direction. In addition, the second control board 320 that controls the water pump 140 and the water pump 140 are arranged to face the back surface of the front portion 101ra of the right side panel. This allows an operator to simultaneously access the second control board 320 when removing the right side panel to access the water pump 140 from the front. In addition, the terminal block 350 is arranged to face the back surface of the service panel 101s. This allows an operator to remove the service panel 101s to connect the power line that supplies power to the outdoor unit 10 to the terminal block 350.

A portion of the first control board 310 protrudes from the first section 10A of the machine room 10M into the heat exchange chamber 10H. A heat dissipation section 311, such as a heat sink, is disposed on the first control board 310 protruding into the heat exchange chamber 10H (FIG. 13). This allows the heat dissipation section 311 to be exposed to the outside air in the heat exchange chamber 10H, allowing the first control board 310 to be cooled efficiently.

Figure 14 is a schematic front view showing the relative positions of the blower and the first control board in the heat exchange chamber.

In the outdoor unit 10, the blower 190 is closer to the top plate 101u than to the bottom plate 101d. For example, the distance d1 from the central axis 190c of the blower 190 to the bottom plate 101d is longer than the distance d2 from the central axis 190c to the top plate 101u. In addition, the heat dissipation section 311 of the first control board 310 is disposed on the blower 190 side.

With this arrangement, the blower 190 is closer to the top plate 101u than to the bottom plate 101d, so the distance between the blower fan and the heat dissipation section 311 is short without making the diameter of the blower fan (propeller) of the blower 190 large, and the heat dissipation section 311 is efficiently cooled, and the first control board 310 is efficiently cooled.

Figure 15 is a schematic top view showing a partition plate with a recessed portion disposed in a housing.

The recess 28 of the partition plate 20 is located above the accumulator 170. By providing such a recess 28 on the partition plate 20 near the suction port 103, the volume of the heat exchange chamber 10H can be increased without changing the external size of the housing 101. Specifically, the space above the accumulator 170 arranged in the first section 10A of the machine room 10M is included in the heat exchange chamber 10H. This reduces the ventilation resistance above the accumulator 170, making it easier for the outside air flowing into the heat exchange chamber 10H to pass above the accumulator 170. Therefore, the amount of air passing through the upper part of the heat exchanger portion located on the back side of the accumulator 170 of the heat exchanger 160 increases, improving the heat exchange rate of the entire outdoor heat exchanger 160. Furthermore, a larger amount of outside air also hits the heat dissipation section 311 of the first control board 310, and the first control board 310 is cooled more efficiently.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can of course be made. For example, a heat pump type hot water heating device has been described as an example of a heat pump cycle device, but this is not limited to this, and the device can also be applied to heat pump cycle devices such as a heat pump type hot water supply device and a heat pump type hot and cold water air conditioner. Each embodiment is not limited to being an independent form, and can be combined as far as technically possible.
