Outdoor unit and refrigeration cycle device

Abstract

Provided is an outdoor unit providing: a housing; multiple heat transfer pipes; multiple fins arranged in a heat transfer pipe direction and provided at the multiple heat transfer pipes; header pipe assemblies each connected to both ends of each heat transfer pipe; a support bracket provided between an outermost one of the fins in the heat transfer pipe direction and each header pipe assembly to block air passage in a space provided with no fins and fixed to the housing to support the heat transfer pipes and the fins; and a fixing member attached to the support bracket and serving as a fixing position for fixing the support bracket to the housing, wherein the fixing member has an insulating portion for insulating the support bracket and the housing from each other.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An outdoor unit comprising:
 a housing;   multiple heat transfer pipes;   multiple fins arranged in a heat transfer pipe direction and provided at the multiple heat transfer pipes;   header pipe assemblies each connected to both ends of each heat transfer pipe;   a support bracket provided between an outermost one of the fins in the heat transfer pipe direction and each header pipe assembly to block air passage in a space provided with no fins and fixed to the housing to support the heat transfer pipes and the fins; and   a fixing member attached to the support bracket and serving as a fixing position for fixing the support bracket to the housing,   wherein the fixing member has an insulating portion for insulating the support bracket and the housing from each other.   
     
     
         2 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the fixing member includes
 a first fixing portion functioning as the insulating portion made of a material for insulating the support bracket and the housing from each other, and 
 a second fixing portion provided as a metal member provided at the first fixing portion and provided with a screw hole corresponding to the first fixing portion, and 
   a screw is inserted into the screw hole to screw the fixing member and the housing to each other such that the second fixing portion does not contact the support bracket, and in such a state, the support bracket is fixed to the housing.   
     
     
         3 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 2 , wherein
 a cutout is formed at the support bracket,   the fixing member is provided at the cutout, and   the screw is inserted into the cutout.   
     
     
         4 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 2 , wherein
 a tip end of the screwed screw remains in a middle of the fixing member, and does not penetrate the fixing member.   
     
     
         5 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 2 , wherein
 a lower end portion of the support bracket contacts the housing through the fixing member.   
     
     
         6 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the support bracket has multiple support target portions, and   the single fixing member is attached to a lower end portion of each support target portion.   
     
     
         7 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the fixing member covers an entirety of a bottom surface of the support bracket.   
     
     
         8 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 6 , wherein
 an inclined surface inclined downward to an outside of the support bracket is provided at an upper surface of the fixing member between the support target portions.   
     
     
         9 . The outdoor unit according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the fixing member includes multiple fixing members provided at multiple spots in a height direction of the support bracket, and   an auxiliary member projecting in a direction identical to that of the fixing member extending to an outside of the support bracket is provided between adjacent ones of the fixing members in an upper-to-lower direction.   
     
     
         10 . A refrigeration cycle device comprising:
 an indoor unit; and   the outdoor unit according to  claim 1 , the outdoor unit being connected to the indoor unit through a refrigerant pipe.
