- an air conditioner main body 1 is installed on a wall 11a of a room 11 to be air conditioned.
- the air conditioner main body 1 is composed of a front panel 1a disposed on the main body front, a housing front face portion 1b, and the housing rear face portion 1c.
- an inlet 2 for indoor air is formed, and moreover, an electric dust collector 6 that electrostatically collects dust, a mesh filter 5 that removes dust, and a heat exchanger 7 are disposed on the upstream side of the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan 8, which is a blower.
- a stabilizer 9 which has a shape extending to the vicinity of the impeiier 8a, separates a suction-side channel E1 on the upstream side of the impeller 8a and a blow-out-side channel E2 on the downstream side from each other, forms a front face side of the blow-out-side channel E2 from the impeller 8a to a blow-out port 3 and also has such a shape as to be able to temporarily collect droplets dropping from the heat exchanger 7.
- the rear face side of the blow-out-side channel E2 from the impeller 8a to the blow-out port 3 is constructed by a spiral guide wall 10, and the guide wall 10 is formed integrally with the housing rear face portion 1c.
- guide wall 10 refers to a portion from a guide-wall start point 10a, which is the closest portion to the impeller 8a on the upstream side, to a guide-wall end point 10b, which is the closest point to the stabilizer 9 on the downstream side.
- straight lines connecting each position of the guide wall 10 to the rotary shaft center O are formed in the spiral shape from the guide-wall start point 10a to the guide-wall end point 10b such that the lines become longer substantially gradually.
- a plurality of recess portions are consecutively provided in a stepped shape from the impeller 8a to the blow-out port 3 so as to form a stepped portion 14.
- a vertical air-direction vane 4a and a horizontal air-direction vane 4b are mounted rotatably.
- a single blade 8c is shown on the upper side of the rotary shaft O, and a view seen from the front is shown on the lower side of the rotary shaft O.
- the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan 8 is molded from a thermoplastic resin such as AS, for example.
- One end portion of the blade 8c extending in a rotary shaft direction L is fastened to an outer peripheral portion of the disk-shaped ring 8b, and a plurality of the blades 8c are disposed along the outer peripheral portion of the ring 8b so as to obtain an impeller unit body 8d.
- the other end portion of the blade 8c of the one impeller unit body 8d and the back face (the surface on which the blade 8c is not fastened) of the ring 8b of the adjacent impeller unit body 8d are adhered together. After a plurality of impeller unit bodies 8d have been adhered together, the ring 8b that becomes an end portion of the impeller 8a is welded so as to form the impeller 8a.
- a fan shaft 8f forming the rotary shaft O is fastened using a screw or the like, for example.
- a fan boss 8e formed integrally with the ring 8b, and a motor shaft 12a of a motor 12, for example, are fixed by a screw or the like. The both end portions are supported by the fan shaft 8f and the fan boss 8e.
- the width of the blow-out side channel E2 is decreased.
- the stepped portion 14 is disposed in a part of the guide wall 10.
- the stepped portion 14 disposed on the guide wall 10 is, as shown in Fig. 5 , formed in a part of the impeller 8a in the rotary shaft direction L or at the center part here.
- a blown-out flow at the center part in the rotary shaft direction L is a relatively high-speed flow Ff.
- the blown-out flows at the both end portions of the rotary shaft direction L are blown-out flows Fs, which are slower than the flow at the center part.
- the stepped portion 14 has a plurality of steps, each extending in the rotary shaft direction L and indented in a substantially triangular shape in a section perpendicular to the rotary shaft O of the impeller 8a or five steps 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, and 14E here disposed in parallel in a stepped shape.
- a step start portion 14a of the step portion 14A located farthest upstream to a step end portion 14d of the step portion 14E located farthest downstream are formed inside from the guide-wall start point 10a to the guide-wall end point 10b.
- lengths C1, C2, and C3 of line segments O-14a, O-14b, and O-14d connecting the rotation center O of the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan to each of the step start point 14a, a step deepest point 14b, and the step end portion 14d have a relationship of C1 ⁇ C2 ⁇ C3.
- the step deepest portion 14b is located close to the step start portion 14a side between the step start portion 14a and the step end portion 14d.
- a distance h connecting the step start portion 14a to the step deepest portion 14b and a length S connecting the step deepest point 14b to the step end portion 14d are in a relationship of h ⁇ S.
- a plane connecting the step deepest point 14b and the step end portion 14d is a step slope portion 14c, which is a flat inclined plane facing the impeller 8a.
- the step portion 14 disposed on the guide wall 10 satisfies the relationship of C1 ⁇ C2 ⁇ C3, the step portion is formed in a direction gradually expanding toward downstream of the blow-out-side channel E2 from the rotation center O.
- the distances h and S of each step in the stepped portion 14 do not necessarily have to be the same.
- a stepped-portion forming angle ⁇ s which is an angle from the step start portion 14a of the step portion 14A to the step end portion 14d of the step portion 14E around the rotation center O is an angle smaller than a spiral angle ⁇ c from the guide-wall start point 10a to the guide-wall end point 10b.
- the stepped-portion forming angle ⁇ s formed by a straight line connecting the rotation center O to the step deepest point 14b of the step portion 14A and a straight line connecting the rotation center O to the step end portion 14d of the step portion 14E farthest downstream side is a predetermined angle or approximately 60°, for example, and the guide wall spiral angle ⁇ c is approximately 140°, for example, the angle ⁇ s is formed so as to be approximately 1/2 the angle ⁇ c.
- the stepped portion 14 will be described below in more detail on the basis of Fig. 7 .
- One step constituting the stepped portion 14 has a sectional substantially triangular shape indented from the spiral virtual surface IM of the guide wall 10. That is, the step deepest portion 14b is formed at a position lowered from the step start portion 14a located on the start point 10a side of the guide wall 10 toward the rear face side (in a direction to the right in Fig. 7 ) of the guide wall 10 by approximately 90 degrees ( ⁇ 1).
- the step slope 14c which is a face extending along the virtual surface IM in the direction of approximately 80 degrees ( ⁇ 2), is formed from the step deepest portion 14b toward the virtual surface IM of the guide wall 10.
- a portion where the step slope 14c crosses the virtual surface IM is the step end portion 14d.
- an angle ( ⁇ 3) formed by the step slope 14c and the virtual surface IM at the step end portion 14d is approximately 10 degrees or less.
- the step start portion 14a, the step deepest portion 14b, and the step end portion 14d form one step 14B indented to a substantially triangular shape.
- the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan 8 is rotated in the RO direction. Then, the air in the room 11 is sucked through the inlet 2 disposed in the air conditioner main body upper part 1d, and after dust has been removed by the electric dust collector 6 and the filter 5, the air is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 7. That is, the air is heated and used for heating or is cooled and used either for cooling and dehumidification, flows through the suction-side channel E1 and is sucked into the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan 8.
- the flow blown out of the impeller 8a is guided to the guide wall 10 and the stabilizer 9 and passes through the blow-out-side region E2 toward the blow-out port 3. Then, the flow is blown out into the room 11 for air conditioning. At this time, the direction of the blown-out air is controlled vertically and horizontally by the vertical air-direction vane 4a and the horizontal air-direction vane 4b so as to allow the air to flow through the entire room 11 and to suppress uneven temperature.
- the relatively high-speed flow Ff blown out of the impeller 8a and flowing along the guide wall surface collides with the guide wall 10 and is fed to the blow-out port 3.
- a blow-out air-velocity difference is generated between the adjacent impeller unit bodies 8d in the rotary shaft direction L of the impeller 8a, and a disturbance is caused by shearing friction between the blow-out flows particularly in the vicinity of the ring 8b.
- the guide wall 10 in the prior-art air conditioner has a merely curved spiral shape.
- the collision of the blow-out air and the collision of the disturbance flows on the surface of the guide wall 10 cause pressure fluctuations and noise.
- the blow-out flow is the high-speed flow Ff, and since the flow Ff collides with the guide wall 10 at a high speed, the noise gets louder.
- the stepped portion 14 shown in Figs. 5 to 7 is disposed at the center part, for example, of the guide wall 10.
- the high-speed flow Ff flows, and an action of the stepped portion 14 with respect to this high-speed flow Ff will be described using an explanatory diagram in Fig. 8 .
- a part of the high-speed flow Ff flowing along the stepped portion 14 changes its direction at the step start portion 14a of the step 14A farthest upstream side to the step deepest portion 14b and drops into the step 14A and generates a swirl G1.
- a negative pressure is generated by the swirl G1.
- the flow goes toward the step portion 14B provided consecutively to the step portion 14A.
- a similar phenomenon also occurs at the step start portion 14a of the step portion 14B, and the flow adheres again to the step slope 14c in the middle of the step portion 14B.
- the phenomenon that the flow is separated from the surface of the guide wall 10 at the step start portion 14a and adheres again in the middle of the step slope 14c is repeated so that the flow flows as the flow X.
- the surface area of the guide wall 10 in contact with the high-speed flow is reduced in the blown-out flow X.
- a sound source is decreased.
- the negative pressure is generated by the swirl G1, separation on the surface of the guide wall 10 is suppressed.
- the stepped portion 14 is disposed so as to extend in the rotary shaft direction L.
- the size of the swirl G1 changes along with the rotary shaft direction L, and pressure fluctuations are alleviated in the rotary shaft direction L.
- the steps are provided consecutively in plural like the steps 14A, 14B, 14C, 14D, and 14E, the pressure fluctuations of the blown-out flow Ff are gradually diffused. As a result, noise can be further reduced.
- the step end portion 14d does not protrude toward the air path side of the blow-out-side channel E2 from the virtual surface IM of the guide wall 10 but gradually expands in a shape along the spiral virtual surface IM of the guide wall 10, and thus, the step end portion 14d does not disturb the flow in the vicinity of the guide wall 10 having flowed from upstream.
- the ventilation resistance is reduced, the motor power can be reduced, and power consumption can be also reduced.
- the step start portion 14a and the step end portion 14d are located on the spiral virtual surface IM of the guide wall 10, and the step deepest portion 14b is located at a portion indented toward the rear face side of the guide wall 10 from the virtual surface IM.
- C1 ⁇ C3 is satisfied all the time. Satisfaction of C1 ⁇ C2 indicates that the step deepest portion 14b is located at the portion indented toward the rear face side of the guide wall 10 from the step start portion 14a. Also, the relationship of C2 ⁇ C3 indicates that the position of the step deepest portion 14b is not largely indented from the virtual surface IM.
- the step deepest portion 14b is located closer to the step start portion 14a than the step end portion 14d. That is, in Fig. 7 , a step has a triangular section with ⁇ 1 > ⁇ 3.
- the swirl G1 can easily occur at a portion close to the step start portion 14a.
- the length of the slope 14c is set longer so as to have a shape which makes re-adhesion easy.
- h/S is preferably set to 0.1 to 0.3. If h/S is smaller than 0.1, the indent is too small and the swirl becomes small, and the effect of re-adhesion is also small. On the other hand, if h/S is larger than 0.3, the indent is too large and the swirl becomes large, which rather disturbs the flow.
- ⁇ 1, ⁇ 2, and ⁇ 3 are shown, but the examples are not limiting.
- the shape is preferably such that the swirl G1 can easily occur from the flow in the vicinity of the guide wall 10.
- ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are preferably approximately 90° so that the swirl G1 can easily occur from that shape.
- 02 is 90° or less, the swirl G1 occurs in the vicinity of the step deepest portion 14b, and the flow drawn by the negative pressure can be made to smoothly adhere to the slope 14c again, which is preferable.
- the angle ⁇ 3 is set small so that the flow of the step slope 14c can flow smoothly to the step start portion 14a of the subsequent step.
- the shape needs to be such that separation from the die is possible.
- a straight line passing through the step start portion 14a of each step and indicating a die separation direction is drawn on the section perpendicular to the rotary shaft direction L
- the step deepest portion 14b is above this straight line, that is, if the portion has a shape located at the portion bitten into the rear face side of the guide wall 10, the separation becomes impossible.
- the step deepest portion 14b is preferably located below the straight line passing through the step start portion 14a and indicating the die separation direction.
- the above does not necessarily apply.
- the stepped portion 14 is adapted to have five steps, but it is not limited to five, and it is only necessary that two or more steps are provided in parallel. Also, in Fig. 8 , for example, the stepped portion 14 is configured such that the adjacent step end portion 14d of the step 14A on the upstream side and the step start portion 14a of the step 14B consecutively connected on the downstream side are consecutively connected substantially at the same positions.
- the configuration is not limited thereto, but a plurality of steps may be provided with some separation between the step end portion 14d of the step 14A on the upstream side and the step start portion 14a of the step 14B on the downstream side, for example. That is, the similar effect can be obtained as long as the plurality of steps are provided with a predetermined interval and in the stepped shape at least continuously.
- the stepped portion 14 may be located anywhere as long as it is between the guide wall start point 10a and the guide wall end point 10b. However, on the side immediately downstream of the guide wall start point 10a, a swirl and the like can be easily generated depending on the shape of the guide wall start point 10a, and the flow can become unstable.
- the stepped portion 14 is preferably provided at a portion such that a flow along the guide wall 10 can be obtained to some degree. As shown in Fig. 2 , by providing the stepped portion 14 in the vicinity of the flow substantially along the guide wall 10, the action to suppress separation of the flow along the guide wall 10 can be effectively exerted.
- Fig. 9 is a perspective view according to this embodiment and illustrates a configuration in which the inlet 2 is divided in the main body longitudinal direction in the air conditioner main body upper part 1d.
- the inlet 2 is divided by a dividing portion 2C in the vicinity of the center in the rotary shaft direction into a first inlet 2A and a second inlet 2B.
- the dividing portion 2C might be disposed in the vicinity of the center.
- FIG. 10(a) illustrates a distribution of a blow-out air velocity V from the impeller 8a.
- the horizontal direction indicates the impeller rotary shaft direction L, while the vertical direction indicates the air velocity V.
- the air velocity V is lowered in the downstream portion of the dividing portion 2C.
- Fig. 10(b) is a front view illustrating the guide wall 10 and the housing rear face portion 1c configured integrally therewith without the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan, but the position of the impeller 8a is shown by a dotted line.
- Figs. 10(a) and 10(b) the position of the rotary shaft direction L is substantially matched.
- Fig. 11 is a perspective view illustrating the guide waii 10 and the housing rear face portion 1c configured integrally therewith.
- a stepped portion 16 is divided into right and left two parts, that is, a first stepped portion 16A and a second stepped portion 16B corresponding to the first and second inlets 2A and 2B.
- the stepped portion 16 is not formed in a center part B corresponding to the dividing portion 2C in the vicinity of the center in the rotary shaft direction L.
- Detailed sectional shapes of the first and second stepped portions 16A and 16B are similar to the stepped portion 14 in Figs. 2 and 6 to 8 .
- the first and second stepped portions 16A and 16B are formed in portions where the blow-out air velocity of the impeller 8a is relatively high or portions where the blow-out air velocity is Vs or more, for example, which is the guide wall 10. That is, the blow-out air velocity becomes high at positions corresponding to the downstreams of the first and second inlets 2A and 2B, and the flow in the vicinity of the surface of the guide wall shown in Fig. 6 also collides with the guide wall 10 at a high speed.
- the larger the surface area of the guide wall 10 with which the high-speed flow is in contact the larger the noise becomes, and a swirl is generated in the vicinities of the step deepest portions of the stepped portions 16A and 16B so that negative pressures are generated in the vicinities.
- the surface area of the guide wall 10 with which the high-speed flow is in contact is reduced. As a result, the noise can be reduced.
- first and second stepped portions 16A and 16B extend to the rotary shaft direction L, respectively, and are disposed on the whole surface, for example, of a portion considered to be collided by the high-speed flow.
- the blow-out air velocity is distributed in the rotary shaft direction L, and the sizes of the swirls generated by the stepped portions 16A and 16B are also changed along the rotary shaft direction L.
- the stepped portion 16 is formed by consecutively providing a plurality of steps: five steps in Figs. 10 and 11 , for example.
- the pressure fluctuations of the blow-out flow are gradually diffused toward the blow-out port 3 in the blow-out region E2, and the noise can be further reduced.
- the stepped portions 16A and 16B are not formed in a portion B where the blow-out air velocity is low. If the blow-out air velocity is low, the noise caused by collision against the guide wall 10 does not matter much. If the stepped portion 16 is formed in this portion, the flow might be disturbed by the generated swirl. Thus, in this configuration example, the first and second stepped portions 16A and 16B are disposed only in portions where the blow-out flows are at a high speed so as to reduce the noise caused by the high-speed flow.
- the distribution of the blow-out air velocity V from the impeller 8a might become the one shown in Fig. 12 .
- the horizontal direction indicates the rotary shaft direction L of the impeller 8a
- the vertical direction indicates the air velocity V.
- the stepped portion 16 is assumed to be disposed in a portion where the blow-out air velocity V becomes the predetermined air velocity Vs or more.
- This predetermined air velocity value Vs is different depending on the sizes of the air conditioner and the cross flow fan and the configuration of an air path. Thus, they cannot be set uniformly but can be set empiricaiiy, experimentally or through simulation. Also, since the blow-out air velocity becomes the lowest at the both end portions in the rotary shaft direction L, a value not less than an intermediate value of the air velocity at the both end portions and the air velocity of the fastest portion, for example, may be set as Vs.
- the blower 8 having the impeller 8a, disposed on the downstream side of the heat exchanger 7 between the inlet 2 and the blow-out port 3 and rotated and driven by the motor 12, with the longitudinal direction of the air conditioner main body 1 as the rotary shaft direction L and feeding the indoor air from the inlet 2 to the blow-out port 3, the stabilizer 9 that separates the suction-side channel E1 on the upstream side of the impeller 8a and the blow-out-side channel E2 on the downstream side from each other and forms the front face side of the blow-out-side channel E2 from the impeller 8a to the blow-out port 3, the spiral guide wall 10 that forms the rear face side of the blow-out-side channel E2 from the impeller 8a to the blow-out port 3, and the stepped portion 14 disposed at
- the steps are configured such that the upstream-side end portion of one step in the stepped portion 14 is made the step start portion 14a, the portion indented to the deepest substantially in the shape of a triangle of the step is made the step deepest portion 14b, the downstream-side end portion of the step is made the step end portion 14d, and the relationship among the length C1 connecting the rotation center O of the impeller 8a to the step start portion 14a, the length C2 connecting the rotation center O of the impeller 8a to the step deepest portion 14b and the length C3 connecting the rotation center O of the impeller 8a to the step end portion 14d is C1 ⁇ C2 ⁇ C3, so the ventilation resistance can be reduced without disturbing the flow in the vicinity of the guide wall 10, and such an advantage is exerted that an air conditioner that can reduce the power consumption can be obtained.
- the steps are configured such that the upstream-side end portion of one step in the stepped portion 14 is made the step start portion 14a, the portion indented to the deepest in a substantially triangular shape of the step is made the step deepest portion 14b, the downstream-side end portion of the step is made the step end portion 14d, and the relationship between the length h connecting the step start portion 14a to the step deepest portion 14b and the length S connecting the step deepest portion 14b to the step end portion 14d is h ⁇ S, the swirl G1 is reliably generated in the vicinity of the step deepest portion 14b so as to generate a negative pressure, and such an advantage is exerted that an air conditioner with a lower noise can be obtained.
- the inlet 2 is divided into two parts in the rotary shaft direction L of the impeller 8a and is composed by the first inlet 2A and the second inlet 2B, and the first stepped portion 16A disposed on the guide wall 10 at the position corresponding to the downstream of the first inlet 2A and the second stepped portion 16B disposed on the guide wall 10 at the position corresponding to the downstream of the second inlet 2B are provided, the stepped portions 16A and 16B are disposed on the portion of the guide wall 10 with which the high-speed flow is in contact and the surface area of the guide wall 10 with which the high-speed flow is in contact is reduced so that an advantage is exerted that an air conditioner in which noise can be lowered can be obtained.
- FIG. 13 relates to the air conditioner of this embodiment and is a front view illustrating the guide wall 10 and the housing rear face portion 1c formed integrally therewith without the impeller 8a of the cross flow fan, but the position of the impeller 8a is shown by a dotted line.
- Fig. 14 is a perspective view illustrating the guide wall 10 and the housing rear face portion 1c formed integrally therewith.
- the same reference numerals in the figures as those in Embodiment 1 designate the same or corresponding portions.
- stepped portions 17A and 17B in this embodiment are disposed in the vicinity where a blow-out flow Fs flows at a low speed or at both end portions in the rotary shaft direction L of the guide wall 10, for example.
