Abstract

An outdoor unit includes: a body casing in which an intake portion configured to suck air is formed in a lateral side, a blowout portion is formed in a top, the blowout portion being configured to blow out the air sucked through the intake portion, and an air path is formed between the intake portion and the blowout portion; a heat exchanger disposed in the air path; a fan unit disposed in the air path above the heat exchanger; and a mounting member mounting the fan unit on the body casing, wherein the mounting member includes a fixture portion fixed to the body casing and a fan-unit holding portion holding the fan unit, and the fan-unit holding portion retreats downward from the fixture portion.

1 . An outdoor unit comprising:
 a body casing including
 an intake portion that is formed in a lateral side of the body casing and through which air is sucked, 
 a blowout portion formed in a top of the body casing, the blowout portion being configured to blow out the air sucked through the intake portion, and 
 an air path formed between the intake portion and the blowout portion; 
   a heat exchanger disposed in the air path;   a fan unit disposed in the air path above the heat exchanger; and   a mounting member mounting the fan unit on the body casing,   wherein the mounting member includes a fixture portion fixed to the body casing, and a fan-unit holding portion that has a flat shape and on which the fan unit is held and a connecting portion configured to connect the fixture portion and the fan-unit holding portion, and the fixture portion, the fan-unit holding portion and the connecting portion are formed integrally,   the fan-unit holding portion retreats downward from the fixture portion.   
     
     
         2 . The outdoor unit of  claim 1 , wherein
 the fan unit includes a fan motor provided with a drive shaft protruding upward and a fan mounted on the drive shaft,   the fan includes a boss in a center and blades formed around the boss, and   an upper part of the boss retreats downward from tops of the blades.   
     
     
         3 . The outdoor unit of  claim 2 , further comprising a fan guard portion configured to cover a top of the fan, wherein
 an outer periphery of the fan guard portion is fixed to the body casing.   
     
     
         4 . The outdoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein the mounting member is shaped to be bent down from the fixture portion at a position outward of an intermediate position of a straight line joining a connecting portion between the boss and each of the blades to an end portion of the blade. 
     
     
         5 . The outdoor unit of  claim 1 , wherein
 the body casing is shaped to include four side faces on lateral sides, and   the mounting member is fixed to the body casing on both sides of the side faces facing each other.   
     
     
         6 . The outdoor unit of  claim 5 , wherein
 the intake portion is formed in each of the four side faces, and   the heat exchanger includes four heat exchange units each facing each of the intake portions and configured to exchange heat with the air sucked through each of the intake portions.   
     
     
         7 . The outdoor unit of  claim 5 , wherein
 the body casing has a cuboid shape, and the mounting member is fixed to the body casing on opposite sides that are longitudinal sides of the body casing.   
     
     
         8 . The outdoor unit of  claim 5 , wherein
 the body casing has a frame serving as four sides of the body casing, and   the mounting member is fixed to the body casing by fixing the fixture portion on an upper part of the frame forming the opposite sides.
