Abstract

An outdoor unit of an air conditioning device in which a compressor, a heat exchanger, and a fan are accommodated in a casing including a top plate, side plates, and a bottom plate is provided. The top plate is formed in a rectangular shape, and a flat mount surface is formed in each of corner portions of the top plate. Regarding each of sides of the top plate, an intermediate part excluding the corner portions serves as a retreat portion set back to the side of the device, and an end of the retreat portion and the mount surface are connected by a standing surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An outdoor unit of an air conditioning device in which a compressor, a heat exchanger, and a fan are accommodated in a casing including a top plate, side plates, and a bottom plate, wherein
the top plate is formed in a rectangular shape,
a flat mount surface is formed in each of corner portions of the top plate,
an upper end of a support pillar serving as a structural member of the casing is coupled to each of corner portions of the top plate,
at each of the sides of the top plate,
an intermediate part excluding the corner portions serves as a retreat portion set back to the side of the device,
an insertion hole for a screw or a bolt for casing assembly is formed in the retreat portion, and
an end of the retreat portion is connected to the mount surface of one of the adjacent corner portions by a standing surface.

2. The outdoor unit of the air conditioning device according to claim 1 , wherein
the retreat portion includes an inclined surface.

3. The outdoor unit of the air conditioning device according to claim 1 , wherein
the standing surface is a surface substantially perpendicular to the mount surface of the adjacent corner.

4. The outdoor unit of the air conditioning device according to claim 1 , wherein
a recess for a ventilating hole is formed in the top plate, and
an upper end surface of a grille arranged in the ventilating hole of a bottom portion of the recess is flush with a surface of the top plate or placed on the lower side of the surface of the top plate.
