The third screw hole (83) which tightens by surrounding the mechanical fastener (9) and the second cover (52) is at least partially in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction (X) (Y) has a second horizontal expansion gap (840) to allow for expansion of 10 It contains the fourth screw hole (84). As shown in Figure 4, the third screw The screw housing (83) and the fourth screw housing (84) are aligned horizontally (Y) with the front beam (8) It is located on it. As can be seen in Figure 10, the third screw hole (83) No expansion gaps were left inside. As can be seen in Figure 11, a second horizontal 15 extending horizontally (Y) inside the fourth screw hole (84) An expansion gap (840) is located. In this way, the horizontal of the second cover (52) in the direction (Y) from the third screw hole (83) to the fourth screw hole (84) Expansion is ensured. As can be seen in Figures 3 and 4, the second cover (52) Since the length in the horizontal direction (Y) is greater than that of the first cover (51), the second cover (52) preferably connected with more than two mechanical fasteners (9). Fourth 20 Next to the screw hole (84), there may also be fifth and sixth screw holes. The subject is the horizontal expansion gaps of the screw holes, from the second horizontal expansion gap. (840) is long in the horizontal direction (Y). Preferably, screw holes allow for horizontal expansion. The entire gaps (820,840) are left as the maximum gap. The second cover is horizontal. The expansion gap (523) can also be kept at a certain length. In this way, the second cover (52) can be kept at 25 This allows for more relaxed expansion in the horizontal direction (Y). Similarly Additional screw holes are also made in the area of the front beam (8) to which the first cover (51) is attached. It can be installed. In another application of the invention, the heat pump outdoor unit (1) has the top 30 of the first cover (51). located in the part, a first upper extension (511) and extending towards the second cover (52) and the second 16 located on the top of the cover (52) and parallel to the first upper extension (511) extending toward the first cover (51) and at least part of the first upper extension (511) It includes a second upper extension (521) covering it. In Figure 12, the first cover (51) and A cross-sectional view of the upper part where the second cover (52) faces each other is given. Outside When the first cover (51) and the second cover (52) shrink due to the effect of ambient temperature 5 They are being spaced out so that there is a distance between them. This gap in question... not visible when viewed from the front and no foreign matter between the two covers (51,52) two upper extensions overlapping each other to prevent entry (511,521) It is used. In another application of the invention, the heat pump outdoor unit (1) is located under the first cover (51). located in the part, a first lower extension (512) and extending towards the second cover (52) and the second located at the bottom of the cover (52) and parallel to the first lower extension (512) a lower horizontal line extending towards the first cover (51) and between it and the first lower extension (512). It includes a second sub-extension (522) that extends to form an expansion gap (520). 15 Figure 14 shows a cross-section of the lower part where the first cover (51) and the second cover (52) face each other. The appearance of the first cover (51) and the second cover is given. The effect of the outside temperature. (52) When they are squeezed, they are separated by a distance. The issue is that this opening is not visible when viewed from the front and between the two covers (51,52). Two overlapping sub-extensions to prevent the entry of foreign matter 20 (512,522) is used. Thanks to this invention, the expansion and contraction that occur at connection points can be prevented. The assembly is made when deformations are prevented and the front panel assembly (5) is multi-part. an external heat pump 25 where visual inconsistencies that may occur in the locations are eliminated. Unit (1) has been implemented.
