Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electric component unit of a refrigeration cycle apparatus, includes: a first electric board; a second electric board; a mounting member having a first surface on which the first electric board is disposed, and a second surface on which the second electric board is disposed; and an electric component casing having a maintenance opening. The mounting member is coupled to the electric component casing via a coupling portion. The electric component unit switches between a first state and a second state by rotation of the mounting member about the coupling portion. In the first state, the second electric board is accessible through the maintenance opening, and the first electric board, the second electric board, and the mounting member are all housed in the electric component casing. In the second state, the first electric board is accessible through the maintenance opening.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An electric component unit of a refrigeration cycle apparatus, comprising: a first electric board; a second electric board; a mounting member having: a first surface on which the first electric board is disposed, and a second surface on which the second electric board is disposed; and an electric component casing having a maintenance opening, wherein the mounting member is coupled to the electric component casing via a coupling portion, the electric component unit switches between a first state and a second state by rotation of the mounting member about the coupling portion, in the first state, the second electric board is accessible through the maintenance opening, and the first electric board, the second electric board, and the mounting member are all housed in the electric component casing, and in the second state, the first electric board is accessible through the maintenance opening. 2 . The electric component unit according to claim 1 , wherein the electric component unit switches from the first state to the second state in response to the mounting member rotating about the coupling portion toward the maintenance opening. 3 . The electric component unit according to claim 1 , wherein a bottom end of the mounting member is coupled to the electric component casing. 4 . The electric component unit according to claim 1 , wherein in the second state, the mounting member is hooked onto and supported by the electric component casing. 5 . The electric component unit according to claim 1 , wherein in switching from the first state to the second state, the mounting member rotates around the coupling portion by an angle equal to or more than 80 degrees and equal to or less than 100 degrees. 6 . A heat source unit for a refrigeration cycle apparatus, comprising: the electric component unit according to claim 1 ; and a heat source casing that has a heat source maintenance opening and that houses the electric component unit, wherein the mounting member is not in contact with an edge of the heat source maintenance opening in the second state. 7 . A heat source unit for a refrigeration cycle apparatus, comprising: the electric component unit according to claim 1 ; and a compressor disposed below a bottom end of the electric component unit.
