空気調和機は、室内空気を熱交換器内に循環させて、加熱、冷却、除湿された空気（調和空気）とし、これを室内に吹出すことにより室内を空気調和し、快適な環境にすることができる。 An air conditioner circulates indoor air in a heat exchanger to produce air that has been heated, cooled, and dehumidified (conditioned air). be able to.
しかし、熱交換器を通過して吹出された空気は乾燥した空気であるため、直接その吹出された空気に当ると肌や喉が乾燥するため非常に不快である。特に、就寝時に空気調和機を使用した場合、空気調和機からの吹出し風が直接、顔や肌に当ることにより乾燥し、目覚めたときに喉が痛くなる、肌がかさ付く場合があり、就寝時に空気調和機を使用する場合に、肌、喉の乾燥を抑制できる機能が望まれている。 However, since the air blown out through the heat exchanger is dry air, it is very uncomfortable because the skin and throat dry when directly hitting the blown air. In particular, when using an air conditioner at bedtime, the air blown from the air conditioner may directly dry on the face or skin, and when you wake up, your throat may hurt or your skin may become bulky. When an air conditioner is used sometimes, a function capable of suppressing the drying of the skin and throat is desired.
特許文献１には、就寝時間帯を設定し設定された就寝時間帯内にマイナスイオンを発生し、快適睡眠や爽快な目覚めや寝付きを良くする空気調和装置が記載されている。 Patent Literature 1 describes an air conditioner that generates a negative ion within a set sleeping time zone by setting a sleeping time zone, thereby improving comfortable sleep, refreshing awakening, and falling asleep.
室内機から空気中に放出されるマイナスイオンは、発生から消滅までの期間が短いので、室内空間内をマイナスイオンで充満させることは困難である。そのため、特許文献１に記載の空気調和機では、快適睡眠や爽快な目覚めや寝付きを良くすることは難しく、また、肌や喉の乾燥を抑制する効果も低い。 Since negative ions released from the indoor unit into the air have a short period from generation to disappearance, it is difficult to fill the indoor space with negative ions. Therefore, in the air conditioner described in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to improve comfortable sleep, refreshing awakening, and falling asleep, and the effect of suppressing drying of the skin and throat is low.
そこで、本発明は、肌や喉の乾燥を抑制し、快適な室内空間、睡眠環境を実現する空気調和機を提供することを目的とする。 Then, an object of this invention is to provide the air conditioner which suppresses drying of skin and throat, and implement | achieves comfortable indoor space and sleep environment.

本発明によれば、肌や喉の乾燥を抑制し、快適な室内空間、睡眠環境を実現する空気調和機を提供することができる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the air conditioner which suppresses drying of skin and throat and implement | achieves comfortable indoor space and sleep environment can be provided.
以下、本発明の一実施例を図面に基づき説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
まず、本実施例の空気調和機１の全体構成を、図１〜２を用いて説明する。図１は実施例１に係る空気調和機の構成図、図２は実施例１に係る室内機の側断面図である。 First, the whole structure of the air conditioner 1 of a present Example is demonstrated using FIGS. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an air conditioner according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the indoor unit according to the first embodiment.
図１において、空気調和機１は、室内機２と室外機３とを接続配管５で繋いで構成され、室内を空気調和する。室内機２の筐体９には室内送風ファン１４、フィルタ１５、１５‘、室内熱交換器１６、露受皿１７、上下風向板１８、左右風向板１９等の基本的な内部構造体が取付けられる。そして、筐体９の内側に取付けられた室内送風ファン１４等の基本的な内部構造体は、化粧枠８を取付けることにより室内機２内に内包される。化粧枠８の前面には前面パネル７が取付けられている。前面パネル７の下方には運転状況を表示する表示部１１と、別体のリモコン１２からの赤外線の操作信号を受ける受光部１０とが配置されている。 In FIG. 1, an air conditioner 1 is configured by connecting an indoor unit 2 and an outdoor unit 3 with a connection pipe 5, and air-conditions the room. A basic internal structure such as an indoor blower fan 14, filters 15, 15 ′, an indoor heat exchanger 16, a dew tray 17, an up / down wind direction plate 18, a left / right wind direction plate 19, and the like are attached to the housing 9 of the indoor unit 2. . And basic internal structures, such as the indoor ventilation fan 14 attached inside the housing | casing 9, are included in the indoor unit 2 by attaching the decorative frame 8. FIG. A front panel 7 is attached to the front surface of the decorative frame 8. Below the front panel 7 are arranged a display unit 11 for displaying the driving situation and a light receiving unit 10 for receiving an infrared operation signal from a separate remote controller 12.
なお、室外機３には、室外熱交換器（図示せず）、圧縮機（図示せず）、膨張弁（図示せず）及び室外送風ファン（図示せず）等が配置されている。 The outdoor unit 3 is provided with an outdoor heat exchanger (not shown), a compressor (not shown), an expansion valve (not shown), an outdoor blower fan (not shown), and the like.
図２において、室内送風ファン１４を作動することにより空気は矢印のように流れ、通過する空気中の塵埃はフィルタ１５、１５‘に捕集される。フィルタ１５、１５’は、吸い込まれた室内空気中に含まれる塵埃を取り除くためのものであり、室内熱交換器１６の吸込側を覆うように配置されている。室内送風ファン１４は、室内空気を空気吸込み口６から吸い込んで、吹出し風路２０を通過し、空気吹出し口１３から吹出すように室内機２内の中央に配置されている。室内熱交換器１６は室内送風ファン１４の吸込側に配置され、略逆Ｖ字状に形成されている。 In FIG. 2, by operating the indoor fan 14, the air flows as shown by the arrow, and the dust in the passing air is collected by the filters 15 and 15 '. The filters 15 and 15 ′ are for removing dust contained in the sucked indoor air, and are arranged so as to cover the suction side of the indoor heat exchanger 16. The indoor blower fan 14 is disposed in the center of the indoor unit 2 so as to suck indoor air from the air suction port 6, pass through the blowout air passage 20, and blow out from the air blower port 13. The indoor heat exchanger 16 is disposed on the suction side of the indoor blower fan 14 and is formed in a substantially inverted V shape.
次に、静電霧化装置について図３を用いて説明する。図３は実施例１に係る静電霧化装置の構成を示す模式図である。静電霧化装置２１は、高電圧発生装置３０と、高電圧発生装置３０の高電圧端子３１から伸びる導電体３２と、吸水時に導電体３２と電気的に接触する吸水材３３及び吸水材３３に接する霧化電極３４とイオン電極３５と、吸水材３３に供給する水の水源部４０などから構成される。この高電圧発生装置３０で発生させた−３ｋＶ〜−６ｋＶの高電圧を霧化電極３４及びイオン電極３５に印加し、吸水材３３に水源部４０から水分５０を供給することで吸水材３３から霧化電極３４に水分５０が浸透して霧化電極３４の先端から帯電微細水滴５５を放出される。静電霧化で発生する約２０〜５０ナノメートルの帯電微細水滴は、約５０ナノメートルの間隔で並んでいると言われている人間の肌の表面を形成する角質層の隙間に浸透することで、肌や喉の保湿効果を得ることができ、乾燥を抑制することができる。 Next, the electrostatic atomizer will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the configuration of the electrostatic atomizer according to the first embodiment. The electrostatic atomizer 21 includes a high voltage generator 30, a conductor 32 extending from a high voltage terminal 31 of the high voltage generator 30, a water absorbing material 33 and a water absorbing material 33 that are in electrical contact with the conductor 32 when absorbing water. An atomizing electrode 34 and an ion electrode 35 that are in contact with each other, a water source 40 for supplying water to the water absorbing material 33, and the like. A high voltage of −3 kV to −6 kV generated by the high voltage generator 30 is applied to the atomizing electrode 34 and the ion electrode 35, and water 50 is supplied from the water source 40 to the water absorbing material 33, so that the water absorbing material 33 Moisture 50 permeates the atomizing electrode 34 and discharges charged fine water droplets 55 from the tip of the atomizing electrode 34. Charged fine water droplets of about 20-50 nanometers generated by electrostatic atomization penetrate into the gaps in the stratum corneum that form the surface of human skin, which is said to be aligned at intervals of about 50 nanometers. Thus, a moisturizing effect on the skin and throat can be obtained, and drying can be suppressed.
水源部４０は、室内空気をペルチェ素子４１の低温部に接して取付けられた冷却板４２を室内空気の露点温度以下に冷却することで室内空気の水分を結露させる。冷却板４２に結露させた水分５０は時間経過とともに水滴として成長し、自重により下方へ垂れ落ち、繊維で構成される吸水材３３へ染込む。吸水材３３へ染込んだ水分は、霧化電極３４へ浸透し、高電圧印加により帯電微細水滴５５を放出させる。この方式により、静電霧化に必要な水の供給を水タンクやカセットなどで補給することなく無給水で水分を生成でき、いつでも帯電微細水滴５５を放出することが可能である。なお、水タンクやカセット等によって水を供給する方式を採用してもよい。 The water source unit 40 condenses the moisture in the room air by cooling the cooling plate 42 attached with the room air in contact with the low temperature part of the Peltier element 41 to a temperature lower than the dew point temperature of the room air. Moisture 50 condensed on the cooling plate 42 grows as water droplets over time, droops downward due to its own weight, and soaks into the water absorbing material 33 composed of fibers. The water infiltrated into the water absorbing material 33 penetrates into the atomizing electrode 34 and discharges charged fine water droplets 55 by applying a high voltage. By this method, it is possible to generate water without supplying water without supplying water necessary for electrostatic atomization with a water tank or a cassette, and it is possible to discharge charged fine water droplets 55 at any time. In addition, you may employ | adopt the system which supplies water with a water tank, a cassette, etc.
次に、本実施例における就寝時の肌、喉の乾燥抑制動作について図４および図５を用いて説明する。図４は近赤外線ＬＥＤを搭載した空気調和機の外略図、図５は睡眠時の肌、喉乾燥抑制動作模式図である。 Next, the drying control operation of the skin and throat at the time of going to bed in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a schematic view of an air conditioner equipped with a near-infrared LED, and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the skin and throat drying suppression operation during sleep.
空気調和機を使用すると、空気吹出し口１３から吹出された空気に顔や肌がさらされることで乾燥し、かさついたり、喉が痛くなったりする。この問題を解決するには、帯電微細水滴５５を顔や肌に接触させる必要があり、その方法として、吹出し空気に乗せて就寝時の空間内に放出し、空間内を帯電微細水滴５５で充満させることが考えられる。 When an air conditioner is used, the face and skin are exposed to the air blown out from the air blowing port 13, resulting in dryness and a sore throat. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to bring the charged fine water droplets 55 into contact with the face and skin. As a method for this, the charged fine water droplets 55 are filled with the blown air and discharged into the sleeping space. It is possible to make it.
しかしながら、帯電微細水滴５５は、発生から消滅までの期間が短く、室内空間内を帯電微細水滴５５で充満させることは困難である。帯電微細水滴５５は、空気イオンと比べて発生から消滅の時間は比較的長いが、それでも室内空間内に充満させるほど長期間、帯電微細水滴５５の状態を維持することは困難である。 However, the charged fine water droplet 55 has a short period from generation to disappearance, and it is difficult to fill the interior space with the charged fine water droplet 55. The charged fine water droplet 55 has a relatively long time from generation to disappearance as compared with air ions, but it is still difficult to maintain the state of the charged fine water droplet 55 for a long period of time so that the indoor space is filled.
そこで、本実施例に係る空気調和機は、空気吸込み口６と空気吹出し口１３とを結ぶ空気通路と、空気通路に配置された室内熱交換器１６と、空気通路に配置され、室内熱交換器１６の下流側に位置する室内送風ファン１４と、空気吹出し口１３に配置された静電霧化装置２１と、室内の人の位置を検出する人検知手段（画像センサ５２等）と、を備え、静電霧化装置２１で発生した帯電微細水滴を人検知手段で検出した人の位置に向けて放出する。帯電微細水滴５５は、放射状には拡散せず、直線的に放出される特性があることから、直接顔やその周辺に帯電微細水滴５５を含んだ空気を直接照射することで、室内空間内を帯電微細水滴５５で充満させることなく、肌、喉の乾燥を効率よく抑止する効果を得ることができる。 Therefore, the air conditioner according to the present embodiment is disposed in the air passage connecting the air suction port 6 and the air outlet 13, the indoor heat exchanger 16 disposed in the air passage, and the indoor heat exchanger. An indoor blower fan 14 located downstream of the vessel 16, an electrostatic atomizer 21 disposed at the air outlet 13, and a human detection means (such as an image sensor 52) that detects the position of a person in the room. And discharging the charged fine water droplets generated by the electrostatic atomizer 21 toward the position of the person detected by the person detecting means. The charged fine water droplets 55 do not diffuse radially but have a characteristic of being emitted linearly. Therefore, by directly irradiating the air containing the charged fine water droplets 55 directly on the face and its surroundings, Without being filled with the charged fine water droplets 55, it is possible to obtain an effect of efficiently inhibiting the drying of the skin and throat.
特に、睡眠時に空気調和機を長期間使用すると、空気吹出し口１３から吹出された空気に顔や肌がさらされることで乾燥し、かさついたり、喉が痛くなったりする。そこで、室内の照度を検出する室内照度検出手段（画像センサ５２等）を備え、室内照度検出手段で検出された室内の照度が所定値以下である時に、静電霧化装置２１で発生した帯電微細水滴を前記人検知手段（画像センサ５２等）で検出した人の位置に向けて放出する。 In particular, when the air conditioner is used for a long time during sleep, the face and skin are exposed to the air blown out from the air blowing port 13, and the skin becomes dry and the throat hurts. In view of this, there is provided indoor illuminance detection means (such as the image sensor 52) for detecting the illuminance in the room, and the charge generated by the electrostatic atomizer 21 when the indoor illuminance detected by the indoor illuminance detection means is below a predetermined value. Fine water droplets are discharged toward the position of the person detected by the person detecting means (image sensor 52 or the like).
室内の照度が所定以下で、且つ、人検出手段で人が検出された場合、睡眠中であると推定することができる。従って、睡眠時に帯電微細水滴を人の位置に向けて放出することで、睡眠時における顔や肌の乾燥等を防ぐことができる。 When the room illuminance is below a predetermined level and a person is detected by the person detection means, it can be estimated that the person is sleeping. Therefore, by discharging charged fine water droplets toward the position of a person during sleep, drying of the face and skin during sleep can be prevented.
なお、本実施例では、画像センサ５２により室内照度検出手段を兼ねているが、照度センサを別途設けてもよい。 In this embodiment, the image sensor 52 also serves as room illuminance detection means, but an illuminance sensor may be provided separately.
室内の照度が所定値以下であるとき、画像センサ５２で検出できる可視光が少ない為、画像センサ５２で就寝者を検出することができない場合がある。しかし、睡眠時に可視光を照射して人体を検出することも睡眠の障害になるおそれがある為、好ましくない。 When the illuminance in the room is less than or equal to a predetermined value, the image sensor 52 may not be able to detect a sleeper because the visible light that can be detected by the image sensor 52 is small. However, it is not preferable to detect a human body by irradiating visible light during sleep because it may cause sleep disturbance.
そこで、まず赤外線センサ５１で使用空間内に存在する就寝者の人数と凡その位置と大きさを判別する。その情報に基づき画像センサ５２で就寝者の顔の位置と足の位置の方向を判定する。その際、近赤外線ＬＥＤ５３から波長７８０ナノメートル以上の近赤外線を照射し高感度の画像センサ５２で撮像を解析することで就寝時の暗い寝室でも就寝者の顔を判別することが可能となる。すなわち、人検知手段は、少なくとも画像センサ５２及び近赤外線ＬＥＤ５３を有し、静電霧化装置２１で発生した帯電微細水滴を近赤外線ＬＥＤ５３を照射している時に画像センサ５２で検出した人の位置に向けて放出する。 Therefore, first, the infrared sensor 51 determines the number of sleepers present in the use space, the approximate position, and the size. Based on the information, the image sensor 52 determines the position of the sleeping person's face and the position of the foot. At that time, it is possible to determine the face of a sleeping person even in a dark bedroom at bedtime by irradiating near-infrared light having a wavelength of 780 nanometers or more from the near-infrared LED 53 and analyzing the imaging by the high-sensitivity image sensor 52. That is, the human detection means has at least the image sensor 52 and the near-infrared LED 53, and the position of the person detected by the image sensor 52 when irradiating the near-infrared LED 53 with the charged fine water droplets generated by the electrostatic atomizer 21. Release towards.
画像センサに近赤外線ＬＥＤを組合せ、暗室での在室者、就寝者の顔を検知し、検知した顔周囲に帯電微細水滴を放出することで、就寝時の寝室など暗い使用空間内でも使用者の位置、人数を判定することが可能となり、その使用者に向けて帯電微細水滴を照射することにより空気調和機使用時の就寝時や起床時にも肌、喉の乾燥抑制をすることができ、快適な睡眠環境を実現することができる。 By combining near-infrared LEDs with an image sensor, detecting the face of a roomed person or sleeping person in a dark room, and releasing charged fine water droplets around the detected face, the user can use even in a dark usage space such as a sleeping room. It is possible to determine the position and number of people, and by irradiating the user with charged fine water droplets, drying of the skin and throat can be suppressed at bedtime and when waking up when using an air conditioner, A comfortable sleep environment can be realized.
さらに、本実施例では、上下風向板１８を絞って照射し、帯電微細水滴の人への照射量を増加させている。すなわち、空気吹出し口１３に配置された左右風向板１９と少なくとも２枚の上下風向板１８と、左右風向板１９及び２枚の上下風向板１８に基づいて、静電霧化装置２１で発生した帯電微細水滴を人検知手段で検出した人の位置に向けて放出する帯電微細水滴照射運転と、を備え、帯電微細水滴照射運転時における２枚の上下風向板１９の間隔は、通常運転（冷房、暖房ボタン押下によって開始される運転等）時における２枚の上下風向板１９の間隔よりも狭くしている。 Further, in this embodiment, the vertical wind direction plate 18 is squeezed and irradiated to increase the amount of irradiation of charged fine water droplets to a person. That is, it is generated in the electrostatic atomizer 21 based on the left and right wind direction plates 19 disposed at the air outlet 13, at least two vertical wind direction plates 18, the left and right wind direction plates 19 and the two vertical wind direction plates 18. A charged fine water droplet irradiation operation for discharging the charged fine water droplets toward the position of the person detected by the human detection means, and the interval between the two vertical wind direction plates 19 during the charged fine water droplet irradiation operation is a normal operation (cooling). The operation is started by pressing the heating button, etc.), and the distance between the two vertical wind direction plates 19 is narrower.
なお、さらに帯電微細水滴照射運転時における室内送風ファン１４の回転数を通常運転時に比べて増加するように制御してもよい。 Further, the rotational speed of the indoor fan 14 at the time of the charged fine water droplet irradiation operation may be controlled to be increased as compared with the normal operation.
又、本実施例では、人の位置に向けて帯電微細水滴を放出する場合について説明したが、常に人の位置に向けて帯電微細水滴を放出する場合に限られず、定期的に帯電微細水滴を放出するようにしてもよく、人の位置の周辺に向けて帯電微細水滴を放出してもよい。 In this embodiment, the case where the charged fine water droplets are discharged toward the position of the person has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the case where the charged fine water droplets are always discharged toward the position of the person. You may make it discharge | release, and you may discharge | release a charged fine water droplet toward the periphery of a person's position.
次に、人検出手段で複数の人を検出した場合について説明する。例えば、判定した就寝者が図５に示す就寝者６０、６０‘のように室内機２を設置した壁面に対し、奥行き方向に並列して就寝している場合、左右風向板１９を動作させながら静電霧化装置２１を動作させ、帯電微細水滴５５を含んだ空気を前述で判定した顔の位置に向けて送風する。 Next, a case where a plurality of persons are detected by the person detecting means will be described. For example, when the determined sleeping person is sleeping in parallel with the depth direction with respect to the wall surface on which the indoor unit 2 is installed like the sleeping persons 60 and 60 ′ illustrated in FIG. 5, the left and right wind direction plates 19 are operated. The electrostatic atomizer 21 is operated, and air containing the charged fine water droplets 55 is blown toward the face position determined above.
さらに、左右風向板１９を動作させて矢印７０ａのように帯電微細水滴５５を照射することにより、並列して存在する就寝者の顔に常時風が当る不快感をなくしつつ、適度に帯電微細水滴５５を含んだ空気が照射されるため、空気調和機１を使用して就寝しても肌のうるおいは保たれ、快適に睡眠することができ、また、起床時の目覚めのすっきり感も得ることが可能となる。 Further, by operating the left and right wind direction plates 19 to irradiate the charged fine water droplets 55 as indicated by arrows 70a, the charged fine water droplets are appropriately charged while eliminating the unpleasant feeling that the wind always hits the face of the sleeping person existing in parallel. Since the air containing 55 is irradiated, the moisture of the skin is maintained even when going to sleep using the air conditioner 1, and it is possible to sleep comfortably, and also to obtain a refreshing feeling when waking up Is possible.
また、図５に示す就寝者６１、６１’のように室内機２を設置した壁面に対し、横手方向に並列して就寝者が存在している場合は、上下風向板１８を動作させて矢印７０ｂのように帯電微細水滴５５を照射することで前述と同様の効果を得ることが可能となる。 In addition, when a sleeping person exists in parallel in the transverse direction with respect to the wall surface on which the indoor unit 2 is installed like the sleeping persons 61 and 61 ′ shown in FIG. 5, the up and down wind direction plate 18 is operated to move the arrow. By irradiating the charged fine water droplet 55 as in 70b, the same effect as described above can be obtained.
また、上述した左右風向板１９及び上下風向板１８を組み合わせて帯電微細水滴５５を含んだ空気の照射方向を制御してもよい。 Further, the irradiation direction of the air containing the charged fine water droplets 55 may be controlled by combining the left and right wind direction plates 19 and the upper and lower wind direction plates 18 described above.
このように、人検知手段で検知した複数の在室者、就寝者の配置を判別して左右風向板１９若しくは上下風向板１８のどちらか、または両方を連動させて帯電微細水滴を放出することにより、使用空間内のどの使用者に対しても帯電微細水滴を照射することが可能となり、すべての在室者に対して肌、喉の乾燥抑制を実現することができる。 In this way, the arrangement of a plurality of occupants and sleepers detected by the human detection means is discriminated, and either the left or right wind direction plate 19 or the upper and lower wind direction plate 18 or both are linked to discharge charged fine water droplets. Thus, it becomes possible to irradiate charged users with water droplets of any charge in the use space, and it is possible to suppress the drying of skin and throat for all the people in the room.
以上説明した室内熱交換器１６と、室内熱交換器１６で熱交換するように送風する室内送風ファン１４と、送風の上下方向を制御する上下風向板１８と左右方向を制御する左右風向板１９と、静電霧化装置２１と、赤外線センサ５１と画像センサ５２による人検知手段とを備え、画像センサ５２に近赤外線ＬＥＤ５１を組合せ、暗室での在室者、就寝者の顔を検知し、検知した在室者、就寝者の配置を判別して左右風向板１８若しくは上下風向板１９のどちらか、または両方を連動させて帯電微細水滴を顔周辺に放出することにより、空気調和機の使用時における特に就寝時の肌や喉の乾燥を抑制し、快適な室内空間、睡眠環境を実現する空気調和機を提供することができる。 The indoor heat exchanger 16 described above, the indoor fan 14 that blows air so as to exchange heat with the indoor heat exchanger 16, the up-and-down air direction plate 18 that controls the vertical direction of the air flow, and the left and right air-direction plate 19 that controls the left and right direction. And an electrostatic atomizer 21, and a human detection means using an infrared sensor 51 and an image sensor 52, and the near infrared LED 51 is combined with the image sensor 52 to detect the face of a roomed person or a sleeping person in a dark room, Use of air conditioner by discriminating the arrangement of detected occupants and sleepers and discharging charged fine water droplets around the face by linking either the left or right wind direction plate 18 or the up and down wind direction plate 19 or both It is possible to provide an air conditioner that suppresses dryness of the skin and throat especially at bedtime and realizes a comfortable indoor space and sleep environment.
