Description

本発明は、高効率且つ意匠性に優れた空気調和機の構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a structure of an air conditioner having high efficiency and excellent design.

図５は従来の床置き形空気調和機の側断面図であるが、化粧パネル１２前面より空気を取り入れ、熱交換器１３で熱交換された空気を貫流ファン１４ａ，１４ｂにより前方上面および下面に吹き出す通風形態であった。 FIG. 5 is a side sectional view of a conventional floor-standing air conditioner. Air is taken in from the front surface of the decorative panel 12, and the heat exchanged by the heat exchanger 13 is transferred to the front upper surface and lower surface by the cross-flow fans 14a and 14b. It was the form of ventilation.

更に、壁掛け形空気調和機では前面より空気を取り入れるほか、上面や背面より空気吸込み口を配設されているものも有る。ただし、上記従来技術は、部屋の天井付近の壁面に据え付けられるものである。 Furthermore, some wall-mounted air conditioners take in air from the front, and some have air inlets from the top or back. However, the prior art is installed on the wall surface near the ceiling of the room.

しかしながら、上記従来技術の特許文献１，２，３によれば空気を吸込むための開口部を前面化粧パネルに配設する必要、および内部フィルタが見えないように格子状にするなどの意匠デザインを行う上での制限があるため、インテリアにマッチする意匠性に優れた空気調和機を提供するには制限があった。更に上記特許文献２，３，４は天井付近に据え付けられるため、背面側の熱交換器の清掃もしくは洗浄がし難いものであった。本発明は、意匠デザインの自由度向上およびユニット厚みのすることにある。 However, according to Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 of the above prior art, it is necessary to arrange an opening for sucking air in the front decorative panel, and a design design such as a lattice shape so that the internal filter cannot be seen. Since there are restrictions on the performance, there are restrictions on providing an air conditioner with excellent design that matches the interior. Further, since Patent Documents 2, 3, and 4 are installed near the ceiling, it is difficult to clean or wash the heat exchanger on the back side. The present invention resides in improving the degree of freedom in design and in unit thickness.

本発明は空気吸込みグリルをキャビネットの上面と背面に配設し、このおのおのの空気吸込みグリルに対応して熱交換器が配設されることにより上記課題を達成できる。 The present invention can achieve the above object by disposing air suction grilles on the upper and rear surfaces of the cabinet and disposing a heat exchanger corresponding to each of the air suction grilles.

製品背面上部に斜めの空気吸込みグリルを設けられたことにより吸込み量を確保しつつ製品の奥行きを薄く見せられ意匠性が向上する。また、空気吸込みグリルを前面化粧パネルに設ける必要が無いので従来のエアコンのイメージを一新した意匠性に優れたエアコンを提供できる。 By providing an oblique air suction grill at the upper back of the product, the depth of the product can be shown thin while improving the design while ensuring the suction amount. Further, since it is not necessary to provide an air suction grille on the front decorative panel, it is possible to provide an air conditioner that has a redesigned image of a conventional air conditioner and has excellent design.

さらにキャビネットの上面に設けた空気吸込みグリルの可動パネルが運転時のみ開くので意匠性が向上。かつ運転停止時にゴミ，埃が入りにくいという効果がある。また、上記背面上部の空気吸込みグリルをキャビネットと分離着脱構造にしたことにより掃除等のメンテナンスが向上する。 In addition, the design of the air suction grill provided on the top of the cabinet is improved because the movable panel opens only during operation. In addition, there is an effect that dust and dust are difficult to enter when the operation is stopped. Moreover, maintenance such as cleaning is improved by providing the air suction grill at the upper rear portion with a cabinet and a separate detachable structure.

また、性能面においては、上記空気吸込みグリルの可動パネルは、背面側に開口部を形成するため暖房時のショートサーキット現象を防止できる効果がある。 In terms of performance, the movable panel of the air suction grille has an effect of preventing a short circuit phenomenon during heating because an opening is formed on the back side.

以下、本発明の一実施例を図１〜図４により説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

図１は一実施例の全体構造図である。 FIG. 1 is an overall structural view of an embodiment.

この実施の形態ではキャビネットの上面に配された空気吸込みグリル６、および背面上部に斜めに空気吸込みグリル８が配され、前面に設けられた取り外し可能な化粧パネル５、この化粧パネル後方で且つ熱交換器の前方に配設された前面側フィルタ９ａ、上面と背面の空気吸込みグリルに対応するように設けられており、且つ一体に成形された上面側フィルタ９ｂ，前記化粧パネルを取り付ける化粧枠４，送風用貫流ファン２、前記吸込みグリルを上面および背面に配設され、このおのおのの空気吸込みグリルに対応して配設された熱交換器３，熱交換器用受け皿１０と背面側の熱交換器用受け皿と一体成型されたキャビネット１により構成される。 In this embodiment, an air suction grille 6 disposed on the upper surface of the cabinet, an air suction grille 8 obliquely disposed on the upper back, and a detachable decorative panel 5 provided on the front surface. A front side filter 9a disposed in front of the exchanger, an upper surface side filter 9b provided integrally with the upper and rear air suction grilles, and a decorative frame 4 for mounting the decorative panel , A once-through fan 2 for blowing air, the suction grille disposed on the upper surface and the rear surface, and a heat exchanger 3, a heat exchanger tray 10 and a heat exchanger on the rear side disposed corresponding to each air suction grille. It is comprised by the cabinet 1 integrally molded with the saucer.

背面の上部に空気吸込みグリル８が斜めに設けられることにより、背面側の熱交換器の高さ寸法を大きくしても空気吸込みグリルと熱交換器の下端部までの寸法ｈ１を小さくできるため、背面側の熱交換器の下端部まで空気が十分に流通できる。また、視線Ａより見ると上面の寸法が少なくなり視覚的に本空気調和機をうすく見せる効果がある。かつ、空気吸込みグリルは前記の様に上面および背面上部となるため、図３の様に化粧パネル５は意匠デザインの自由度が向上される。 By providing the air suction grille 8 obliquely at the upper part of the back surface, the dimension h1 from the air suction grille to the lower end of the heat exchanger can be reduced even if the height of the heat exchanger on the back surface side is increased. Air can flow sufficiently to the lower end of the heat exchanger on the back side. In addition, when viewed from the line of sight A, there is an effect that the size of the upper surface is reduced and the air conditioner is visually faintly seen. And since an air suction grille becomes an upper surface and a back upper part as mentioned above, the freedom degree of a design design improves the decorative panel 5 like FIG.

また、空気吸込みグリル８は図４の様にキャビネットと分離着脱構造となっている。たばこのやにや焼肉などのテーブルを囲んで調理しながら食事をする家族が増えてきたことによる油煙が熱交換器に付着する場合がある。そこで定期的にエアコン洗浄剤などで熱交換器を洗浄することがある。この場合、本実施例のように背面の空気吸込みグリル８が簡単に取り外せるようにされたことで、従来は洗浄作業が困難であったものが容易にできる。 Moreover, the air suction grille 8 has a structure that is separated from the cabinet as shown in FIG. There may be cases where oil smoke is attached to the heat exchanger due to an increase in the number of families who eat while cooking around a table such as tobacco or yakiniku. Therefore, the heat exchanger may be periodically cleaned with an air conditioner cleaner. In this case, the rear air suction grille 8 can be easily removed as in the present embodiment, so that it has been difficult to perform a cleaning operation conventionally.

前記上面の空気吸込みグリル６には可動パネル６ａ，６ｂ、およびパネルを可動するモータ７が配され、冷暖房運転時において、可動パネル６ａ，６ｂが開き、運転停止時は図２のように閉まる。このため、運転停止時は内部へほこり，ごみなどの侵入を防ぐ効果がある。 The air suction grill 6 on the upper surface is provided with movable panels 6a and 6b and a motor 7 for moving the panel. The movable panels 6a and 6b are opened during the cooling / heating operation, and are closed as shown in FIG. For this reason, when operation is stopped, there is an effect of preventing intrusion of dust, dust and the like inside.

また、視線Ａより見ると、可動パネルが閉じていることにより内部構造が見えないため、停止時の意匠性が向上する。 Further, when viewed from the line of sight A, the internal structure cannot be seen because the movable panel is closed, so that the designability at the time of stopping is improved.

前記可動パネル６ａ，６ｂは可動時に背面側に開口部を形成される。 The movable panels 6a and 6b are formed with openings on the back side when movable.

そのため、視線Ａより見ると、空気調和機内部のフィルタなどが見えずに意匠性に優れる。且つ、空気は、空気吸込みグリルより吸込まれ、熱交換器３で熱交換されたあと、貫流ファン２により横はね１１ａ，１１ｂは配された空気吐出口より前面へ押し出される。前記可動パネル６ａ，６ｂは可動時に背面側に開口部が形成されるため、この押し出された空気がショートサーキットすることを防止する効果がある。 Therefore, when viewed from the line of sight A, the filter and the like inside the air conditioner are not visible and the design is excellent. And after air is sucked in from the air suction grille and heat is exchanged by the heat exchanger 3, the lateral springs 11 a and 11 b are pushed out from the air discharge port arranged to the front by the cross-flow fan 2. Since the movable panels 6a and 6b are formed with openings on the back side when they are movable, there is an effect of preventing the pushed air from short-circuiting.
