Description

本発明は、エアフィルタを備えた空気調和機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an air conditioner provided with an air filter.

従来の空気調和機について、図７を用いて説明する。   A conventional air conditioner will be described with reference to FIG.

図において、空気調和機は、筐体７と、その筐体７に内蔵されたファン１０と、ファン１０を回転駆動するファンモータ１１と、熱交換器９と、前記ファン１０に空気をガイドするエアガイダー４と、筐体７の前部に設けられ吸い込みグリル６を有する前面グリル１と、エアガイダー４と吸い込みグリル６との間に配され流入する空気に含まれる塵埃を捕集するエアフィルタ５と、筐体７の内壁に設けられた断熱材８と、熱交換器９で熱交換された空気が吹き出される吹き出し口１９と、吹き出し口１９に配され吹き出し風の風向を変える風向変更羽根２と、熱交換器９で凝縮され落下する水分を受けるドレンパンとを備えている。   In the figure, an air conditioner guides air to a housing 7, a fan 10 built in the housing 7, a fan motor 11 that rotationally drives the fan 10, a heat exchanger 9, and the fan 10. An air guider 4, a front grill 1 having a suction grill 6 provided at the front of the housing 7, and an air filter 5 arranged between the air guider 4 and the suction grill 6 for collecting dust contained in the inflowing air; The heat insulating material 8 provided on the inner wall of the housing 7, the blowout port 19 through which the air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 9 is blown out, and the wind direction changing blade 2 disposed at the blowout port 19 and changing the wind direction of the blowout air And a drain pan that receives moisture that is condensed and dropped by the heat exchanger 9.

以上の構成により、空気調和機の運転を開始すると、ファンモータ１１によりファン１０が回転し、前面グリル１に設けた吸い込みグリル６から室内の空気が吸引され、エアフィルタ５、エアガイダー４を通過し、熱交換器９で熱交換され、吹き出し口１９より吹き出される。この間、空気に混在する塵埃はエアフィルタ５に付着し空気調和機の内部に塵埃が浸入しない構造となっている。   With the above configuration, when the operation of the air conditioner is started, the fan 10 is rotated by the fan motor 11, indoor air is sucked from the suction grill 6 provided in the front grill 1, and passes through the air filter 5 and the air guider 4. The heat is exchanged by the heat exchanger 9 and blown out from the blowout port 19. During this period, the dust mixed in the air adheres to the air filter 5 so that the dust does not enter the air conditioner.

そして、エアフィルタ５は、付着した塵埃を定期的に清掃する時の便宜を図るため容易に着脱出来るように構成されている。   And the air filter 5 is comprised so that attachment or detachment can be carried out easily for the convenience at the time of cleaning regularly the adhering dust.

また、エアフィルタの清掃を容易にする為に、エアフィルタの表面に沿って回転しながら移動する回転ブラシと、その回転ブラシを下方から覆うと共に吸引口を有するブラシカバーを備え、前記吸引口に電気掃除機の吸引ノズルを接続してエアフィルタを清掃するようにした空気調和装置の室内機がある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   Further, in order to facilitate cleaning of the air filter, a rotary brush that moves while rotating along the surface of the air filter and a brush cover that covers the rotary brush from below and has a suction port are provided in the suction port. There is an indoor unit of an air conditioner in which a suction nozzle of an electric vacuum cleaner is connected to clean an air filter (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、ベルト状のエアフィルタが回転し、それに接触するブラシで塵埃を掻き落とすものもある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。
特開平１１−２２６３３１号公報 特開平６−７４５２１号公報 In addition, there is a type in which a belt-shaped air filter rotates and scrapes dust with a brush that contacts the belt-shaped air filter (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
JP-A-11-226331 JP-A-6-74521

しかしながら、従来のエアフィルタを着脱自在にした空気調和機では、空気調和機の使用頻度に応じて空気調和機よりエアフィルタを取り外し、水洗いもしくは掃除機などで付着した塵埃を掃除するというメンテナンスが定期的に必要で、特に天井に埋め込まれたタイプにおいては非常な手間と労力を要するという課題があった。また、定期的にメンテナンスが成されなかった場合、エアフィルタに塵埃が堆積し吸込み空気の通気抵抗が増大するため空気調和機の性能が低下、消費電力が増大するという課題があった。   However, in conventional air conditioners with removable air filters, maintenance is regularly performed by removing the air filter from the air conditioner according to the frequency of use of the air conditioner and cleaning the dust that has adhered to it with water or a vacuum cleaner. In particular, the type embedded in the ceiling has a problem of requiring a lot of labor and labor. Further, when maintenance is not performed regularly, there is a problem that dust accumulates on the air filter and the ventilation resistance of the intake air increases, so that the performance of the air conditioner decreases and the power consumption increases.

また、回転ブラシでエアフィルタを清掃するようにした空気調和装置では、ブラシカバーに電気掃除機の吸引ノズルを接続した状態でエアフィルタの表面に沿って回転ブラシを移動させなければならず、大変な労力を要するものであった。   Also, in an air conditioner that cleans the air filter with a rotating brush, the rotating brush must be moved along the surface of the air filter with the suction nozzle of the vacuum cleaner connected to the brush cover. It took a lot of effort.

また、ベルト状のフィルタを備えた空気調和装置では、構成が複雑で、しかもエアフィルタがベルト状になっているため、吸引装置が大型になるという課題があった。   In addition, the air conditioner provided with a belt-like filter has a complicated configuration, and the air filter has a belt shape, which causes a problem that the suction device becomes large.

空気調和機の内部に配設したファン１０の回転により、前面グリル１に設けた吸い込みグリル６、エアフィルタ５、エアガイダー４を通過し、熱交換器９で熱交換され、吹き出し口１９より吹き出される。この間、空気に混在する塵埃はエアフィルタ５に付着し空気調和機の内部に塵埃が付着しないようになっている。   The fan 10 disposed in the air conditioner rotates to pass through the suction grille 6, the air filter 5, and the air guider 4 provided in the front grill 1, exchange heat with the heat exchanger 9, and blow out from the blowout port 19. The During this time, the dust mixed in the air adheres to the air filter 5 so that the dust does not adhere to the inside of the air conditioner.

図において、エアフィルタ５は円盤状に形成され、トレイ１６上に回転自在に設けられている。エアフィルタ５のフレーム５ｂの外周部には、駆動ユニット１４の歯車１４ａが噛合う歯車５ａが形成され、駆動ユニット１４を駆動する事により、トレイ１６に形成された回転軸（図示せず）を中心に、エアフィルタ５が回転するようになっている。   In the figure, the air filter 5 is formed in a disk shape and is provided on a tray 16 so as to be rotatable. A gear 5 a that meshes with the gear 14 a of the drive unit 14 is formed on the outer periphery of the frame 5 b of the air filter 5. By driving the drive unit 14, a rotation shaft (not shown) formed on the tray 16 is provided. At the center, the air filter 5 rotates.

吸引ノズル１２は、ダクト１８を介して集塵ユニット３０に接続された吸引ノズルで、エアフィルタ５の前面側に対峙するよう配置されると共にエアフィルタ５に付着した塵埃を吸引するスリット状の吸込み部１２ａを備えている。   The suction nozzle 12 is a suction nozzle connected to the dust collecting unit 30 via the duct 18, is arranged to face the front side of the air filter 5, and is a slit-like suction for sucking dust adhering to the air filter 5. A portion 12a is provided.

集塵ユニット３０は、吸引のための吸引ユニット１７を有する吸引ケース１３と、吸引ケース１３に着脱自在に装着されると共に、吸引した塵埃を捕集する集塵ケース１５とを備え、吸引ユニット１７を動作させると同時に駆動ユニット１４を動作させると、エアフィルタ５がトレイ１６上で回転し、そのエアフィルタ５の上流側に付着した塵埃が、吸引ノズル１２の吸い込み口１２ａで吸引され、ダクト１８を通過し、集塵ケース１５に至るようになっている。   The dust collection unit 30 includes a suction case 13 having a suction unit 17 for suction, and a dust collection case 15 that is detachably attached to the suction case 13 and collects sucked dust. When the drive unit 14 is operated simultaneously with the operation of the air filter 5, the air filter 5 rotates on the tray 16, and dust adhering to the upstream side of the air filter 5 is sucked by the suction port 12 a of the suction nozzle 12, and the duct 18. , And reaches the dust collecting case 15.

吸引ケース１３は、筒状になっており下部に近い側壁にダクト１８が接続される第１の接続口１３ａを有し、下部は、集塵ケース１５が挿入される開口となっており、上部は吸引ユニット１７を取りつけるための開口となっている。吸引ユニット１７は塵埃を吸引するために、吸引ファン２０と、吸引ファン２０を駆動するためのモータ２１ａからなる吸引手段２１を備えている。   The suction case 13 has a cylindrical shape and has a first connection port 13a to which a duct 18 is connected to a side wall near the lower portion. The lower portion is an opening into which the dust collecting case 15 is inserted. Is an opening for mounting the suction unit 17. The suction unit 17 includes a suction means 21 including a suction fan 20 and a motor 21a for driving the suction fan 20 in order to suck dust.

集塵ケース１５の下部には、吸引ケース１３のダクト１８との第１の接続口１３ａと連通接続される第２の接続口１５ａと、集塵ケース１５を着脱する時の取っ手１５ｂが設けられている。   Below the dust collection case 15, a second connection port 15 a that is connected to the first connection port 13 a with the duct 18 of the suction case 13 and a handle 15 b for attaching and detaching the dust collection case 15 are provided. ing.

また、集塵ケース１５の上部には、吸引ファン２０にて吸引される塵埃を集塵ケース１５内に集塵するための集塵フィルタ２２を有している。集塵フィルタ２２は、ネット２２ａと、フレーム２２ｂの部分からなり、フレーム２２ｂはゴム等の軟質の材質からなり、集塵ケース１５の蓋の役目を果たすと同時に、集塵ケース１５と吸引ケース１３との間の
気密を保つパッキンの役目も果たしている。 In addition, a dust collection filter 22 for collecting dust sucked by the suction fan 20 in the dust collection case 15 is provided on the top of the dust collection case 15. The dust collection filter 22 includes a net 22a and a frame 22b. The frame 22b is made of a soft material such as rubber and serves as a lid for the dust collection case 15. At the same time, the dust collection case 15 and the suction case 13 are used. It also plays the role of packing to maintain airtightness.

また、エアフィルタ５に付着した塵埃を吸引ファン２０にて吸引すると、塵埃は吸い込みノズル１２とダクト１８を通過する間に細かくなるものもある為、ネット２２ａの目の大きさはエアフィルタ５の目の大きさと同等かそれより小さく設定されており、集塵フィルタ２２にて確実に塵埃を捕集する構造としている。   Further, when dust adhering to the air filter 5 is sucked by the suction fan 20, the dust may become fine while passing through the suction nozzle 12 and the duct 18. The size is set to be equal to or smaller than the size of the eyes, and the dust collection filter 22 reliably collects dust.

集塵ケース１５の第２の接続口１５ａにはパッキン２４が取り付けられている。パッキン２４はゴム等の軟質の材料からなり吸引ケース１３と集塵ケース１５の第１、第２の接続口１３ａ、１５ａの部分より塵埃や空気が漏れるのを防止している。   A packing 24 is attached to the second connection port 15 a of the dust collection case 15. The packing 24 is made of a soft material such as rubber and prevents dust and air from leaking from the first and second connection ports 13a and 15a of the suction case 13 and the dust collecting case 15.

また、パッキン２４の吸引ケース１３の第１の接続口１３ａに接する面には、集塵ケース１５の吸引ケース１３への挿入方向（図３では、上向き）に向かって内方に傾いたテーパを設けており、吸引ケース１３のパッキン２４と接する面にも同じテーパを設けている。これにより、集塵ケースの着脱時、パッキン２４の厚みを吸引ケース１３と集塵ケース１５の隙間より若干大きめにしてもスムースに着脱でき、かつ、パッキン２４と吸引ケース１３との密着も確実にすることが出来る。また、集塵ケース１５を吸引ケース１３から抜く時に、テーパによりパッキン２４が、吸引ケース１３に引っ掛かることもない。   Further, the surface of the suction case 13 of the packing 24 that is in contact with the first connection port 13a has a taper that is inclined inward in the direction in which the dust collection case 15 is inserted into the suction case 13 (upward in FIG. 3). The same taper is provided on the surface of the suction case 13 that contacts the packing 24. Thus, when the dust collecting case is attached / detached, the packing 24 can be smoothly attached / detached even if the thickness of the packing 24 is slightly larger than the gap between the suction case 13 and the dust collecting case 15, and the adhesion between the packing 24 and the suction case 13 is ensured. I can do it. Further, when the dust collecting case 15 is pulled out from the suction case 13, the packing 24 is not caught by the suction case 13 due to the taper.

スライドツマミ２３は、集塵ケース１５の取っ手１５ｂの部分にスライド自在に取り付けられたスライドツマミで、集塵ケース１５を吸引ケース１３に固定する役目をしており、外方にスライドすることにより集塵ケース１５を吸引ケース１３から取り外すことが出来る構造となっている。よって、集塵ケース１５が塵埃でいっぱいになれば、スライドレバー２３をスライドして、吸引ケース１３との固定をはずし、取っ手１５ｂの部分を掴んで下に引けば集塵ケース１５を外すことが出来、さらに集塵フィルタ２２を開けば捕集された塵埃を捨てることが出来る。   The slide knob 23 is a slide knob that is slidably attached to the handle 15b of the dust collection case 15. The slide knob 23 serves to fix the dust collection case 15 to the suction case 13, and is collected by sliding outward. The dust case 15 can be detached from the suction case 13. Therefore, when the dust collection case 15 is filled with dust, the slide lever 23 is slid to remove the fixation with the suction case 13, and the dust collection case 15 can be removed by grasping the handle 15b and pulling it down. If the dust collection filter 22 is opened, the collected dust can be discarded.

集塵フィルタ２２のネット２２ａは、空気調和機の使用時間や塵埃の種類によっては目詰まりを生じる場合がある。これを防止するために、ネット２２ａ上に直接、またはネット２２ａの近傍に、振動を発生する振動発生装置（図示せず）を備え、振動発生装置の動作により、ネット２２ａを振動させてネット２２ａに付着した塵埃を振るい落とす構造としても良い。   The net 22a of the dust collection filter 22 may be clogged depending on the usage time of the air conditioner and the type of dust. In order to prevent this, a vibration generator (not shown) that generates vibration is provided directly on or in the vicinity of the net 22a, and the net 22a is vibrated by the operation of the vibration generator. A structure in which dust adhering to the surface is shaken off may be used.

The dust collection filter 26 has a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and includes a net 26a and a frame 26b that supports the net 26a. The frame 26b has a flexible claw 26c and is detachably attached to the dust collection case 25. A gap is secured between the net 26 a of the dust collection filter 26 and the side wall of the suction case 13.

これにより、集塵フィルタ２６の天井面が塵埃で目詰まりしたとしても吸引空気は集塵フィルタ２６と吸引ケース１３の間の隙間の部分を通って流れるので、吸引力が容易に低下する事が無い。   As a result, even if the ceiling surface of the dust collection filter 26 is clogged with dust, the suction air flows through the gap portion between the dust collection filter 26 and the suction case 13, so that the suction force can be easily reduced. No.

以上のように、本実施の形態によれば、集塵フィルタ２６のネット２６ａの面積が広くなり、しかも側面からも空気を流すことが出来るので、塵埃による目詰まりに至る寿命を伸ばすことが可能となる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the area of the net 26a of the dust collection filter 26 is increased, and air can be flowed also from the side surface, so that the lifetime leading to clogging with dust can be extended.
