Description

本発明は、エアコンディショナーや送風機、加湿器、除湿機、換気扇、あるいは空気清浄機等の空気調和機に配置されたエアフィルターの清掃装置及び、それを用いた空気調和機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an air filter cleaning device disposed in an air conditioner such as an air conditioner, a blower, a humidifier, a dehumidifier, a ventilation fan, or an air purifier, and an air conditioner using the same.

従来の空気調和機には、吸込口と熱交換器との間に、空気調和機本体内部への塵埃侵入を防ぐためにエアフィルターが配置されており、空気調和機の運転に伴い吸込口から空気と共に侵入する塵埃を捉える機能を有している。このため、エアフィルターには捉えた塵埃が徐々に付着するとともに、目が徐々に詰まってしまい風量を低下させてしまうので、空気調和機本体から着脱可能に構成され、定期的にエアフィルター表面を電気掃除機等で吸引したり、洗浄したりしなければならなかった。   In a conventional air conditioner, an air filter is disposed between the suction port and the heat exchanger to prevent dust from entering the air conditioner body, and air flows from the suction port as the air conditioner operates. And has a function of catching intruding dust. For this reason, the dust caught on the air filter gradually adheres and the eyes gradually clog and reduce the air volume. It had to be sucked and cleaned with a vacuum cleaner.

これに対し、エアフィルターの上流側表面に沿って移動することができる吸引口を有する吸引ノズルと、この吸引ノズルに連結された吸引装置を空気調和機本体に設けて、吸引口からエアフィルター表面に付着した塵埃を吸引することで、エアフィルターを取り外すことなくエアフィルターの自動清掃が行える構造が考案されている（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   On the other hand, a suction nozzle having a suction port that can move along the upstream surface of the air filter, and a suction device connected to the suction nozzle are provided in the air conditioner body, and the air filter surface extends from the suction port. A structure has been devised that can automatically clean the air filter without removing the air filter by sucking the dust adhering to the surface (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

また、フィルターのメンテナンスの手間を低減する目的で、駆動軸に張架したベルト上のエアフィルターと、前記エアフィルターの表面に接する回転ブラシを設け、前記駆動軸を回転させてエアフィルターを移動させながら、その表面に堆積した塵埃を、回転ブラシを回転させて掻きとるようにした空気調和機がある（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   For the purpose of reducing the maintenance work of the filter, an air filter on the belt stretched around the drive shaft and a rotating brush in contact with the surface of the air filter are provided, and the drive shaft is rotated to move the air filter. However, there is an air conditioner in which dust accumulated on the surface is scraped by rotating a rotating brush (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

また、図６に示すように、エアフィルターの塵埃の除去に、円筒形状の合成樹脂の芯棒２２の端部から、基布２３にブラシ毛２４を植設した清掃片２５をらせん状に巻きつけて、前記芯棒２２の端部にキャップ２６を取り付けた回転清掃体２１も、従来から使用されている。
特開２００５−１４０４０５号公報 特開２００６−７１１２１号公報 Further, as shown in FIG. 6, for removing dust from the air filter, a cleaning piece 25 in which brush hairs 24 are planted on a base cloth 23 is spirally wound from the end of a cylindrical synthetic resin core rod 22. In addition, a rotary cleaning body 21 in which a cap 26 is attached to an end of the core rod 22 has also been used conventionally.

しかしながら、上記特許文献１に開示されたような従来の空気調和機においては、吸引口の開閉面積を絞ることで風量を落として、吸引圧力を高めている。このような吸引ノズルで塵埃を除去しようとすると、エアフィルター表面に浮いたような状態で乗っている綿埃等は容易に吸引できるが、吸引力のみでは、エアフィルターの網目に絡んだ塵埃や、油分を含む塵埃等を、清掃ブラシのように掻き出して剥離させることはできず、エアフィルターにこびりついた塵埃を確実に除去することは非常に困難であった。   However, in the conventional air conditioner disclosed in Patent Literature 1, the suction pressure is increased by reducing the air volume by reducing the opening / closing area of the suction port. If you try to remove dust with such a suction nozzle, you can easily suck cotton dust and the like that floats on the surface of the air filter. In addition, dust containing oil and the like cannot be scraped off and removed like a cleaning brush, and it is very difficult to reliably remove dust stuck to the air filter.

また、上記特許文献２に開示されたような従来の空気調和機においては、回転ブラシの芯棒が樹脂でできており、その外周にブラシ毛が植毛されている。前記回転ブラシはブラシ毛が植毛されているため、加工に手間がかかり、かつ、植毛穴の確保、毛丈の確保の為、回転ブラシの外径が大きくなり、空気調和機本体が大きくなるという欠点があった。   Moreover, in the conventional air conditioner as disclosed in Patent Document 2, the core rod of the rotating brush is made of resin, and brush hairs are implanted on the outer periphery thereof. Since the rotating brush has flocked brush hair, it takes time to process, and the outer diameter of the rotating brush is increased and the air conditioner body is increased in order to secure the flock hole and the hair length. There were drawbacks.

また、従来から使用されているような、エアフィルターの塵埃の除去に、円筒形状の合成樹脂の芯棒２２の端部から、清掃片２５をらせん状に巻きつけて、芯棒２２の端部にキャップ２６を取り付けた回転清掃体２１は、回転してエアフィルターの塵埃を除去する際に、清掃片の端部から剥がれやすいという問題があった。   Moreover, the cleaning piece 25 is spirally wound from the end portion of the cylindrical synthetic resin core rod 22 to remove dust from the air filter as conventionally used, and the end portion of the core rod 22 is wound. When the rotary cleaning body 21 with the cap 26 attached thereto is rotated to remove dust from the air filter, there is a problem that the rotary cleaning body 21 easily peels off from the end of the cleaning piece.

本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するためのものであり、回転清掃体における清掃片の固着強度を増すことにより、清掃片の剥がれを防止し、空気調和機のエアフィルターに付着した塵埃を、効率よく、確実に除去でき、長期間に亘ってエアフィルターの目詰まりのない状態で使用することができる空気調和機の清掃装置及び、空気調和機を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention is for solving the above-described conventional problems, and by increasing the fixing strength of the cleaning pieces in the rotary cleaning body, the peeling of the cleaning pieces is prevented and the dust adhering to the air filter of the air conditioner is removed. An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner cleaning device and an air conditioner that can be removed efficiently and reliably and can be used for a long period of time without clogging of an air filter.

前記従来の課題を解決するために、本発明では、本体に設けられた吸込口と吹出口を結ぶ空気通路に、除塵用のエアフィルターを配置してなる空気調和機において、前記空気調和機は、前記エアフィルターに付着した塵埃を除去する清掃装置を有し、前記清掃装置は、少なくとも端部に中空部を有する棒状の芯棒に、端部に切り欠き部を有する短冊状の清掃片を、らせん状に固着し、前記清掃片の前記切り欠き部を前記芯棒の端部に形成された前記中空部に折り込むとともに、前記芯棒の中空部にキャップを挿入し、前記芯棒に前記清掃片、及び前記キャップを固着した回転清掃体を有しているので、前記芯棒を回転させて前記清掃片をらせん状に巻きつけることにより、清掃片全体が剥がれにくい、外径の細い回転清掃体を簡単に作ることができる。また、前記清掃片の前記切り欠き部を前記芯棒の端部に形成された前記中空部に折り込むとともに、前記芯棒の中空部にキャップを挿入し、前記清掃片を固着したので、前記清掃片の端部の剥がれが防止できる。外径の細い、剥がれにくい清掃片を有する回転清掃体により、前記エアフィルターに付着した塵埃を効率よく除去できる。前記エアフィルターを常に清潔で、長期間に亘って目詰まりのない状態で使用することができるため、空気調和機の性能も維持され、且つ前記エアフィルターを取り外して塵埃の清掃を行う必要もなくなる。   In order to solve the conventional problem, in the present invention, in an air conditioner in which an air filter for dust removal is arranged in an air passage connecting a suction port and a blowout port provided in a main body, the air conditioner is A cleaning device for removing dust adhering to the air filter, the cleaning device having a strip-shaped cleaning piece having a notch at the end on a rod-shaped core bar having a hollow at least at the end. , Fixed in a spiral shape, the notch portion of the cleaning piece is folded into the hollow portion formed at the end portion of the core rod, a cap is inserted into the hollow portion of the core rod, and the core rod is Because it has a cleaning piece and a rotating cleaning body to which the cap is fixed, the entire cleaning piece is difficult to peel off by rotating the core rod and winding the cleaning piece in a spiral shape.

Therefore, the dust attached to the air filter can be removed efficiently and reliably. In addition, maintenance of the air filter becomes unnecessary for a long period of time.

本発明によれば、清掃片は、巻き付けやすく、かつ、剥がれにくくなる。したがって、外径の細い、清掃片全体が剥がれにくい、安定した回転清掃体を作ることができる。エアフィルターを常に清潔で、長期間に亘って目詰まりのない状態で使用することができるため、空気調和機の性能も維持され、且つエアフィルターを取り外して塵埃の清掃を行う必要もなくなる。清潔で、長期間に亘ってエアフィルターの目詰まりのない状態で使用することができるため、空気調和機の性能も維持され、且つ、エアフィルターを取り外して塵埃の清掃を行う必要もなくなる。   According to the present invention, the cleaning piece is easy to wind and difficult to peel off. Therefore, it is possible to make a stable rotating cleaning body having a thin outer diameter and being difficult to peel off the entire cleaning piece. Since the air filter is always clean and can be used without clogging for a long period of time, the performance of the air conditioner is maintained, and there is no need to remove the air filter and clean the dust.

次に、図２を用いて回転清掃体７とその周辺部分の構成について説明する。８はアルミニウムの金属の材料を用いた芯棒である。１１は、基布９にブラシ毛１０を植設した清掃片１１である。１２はキャップである。１３は軸であり、１４はキャップ１２に軸１３を一体成形したブラケット１４である。１５は、軸１３の外径を受けて、回転清掃体７を回転自在に軸支する軸受けである。   Next, the structure of the rotary cleaning body 7 and its peripheral part will be described with reference to FIG. A core rod 8 is made of an aluminum metal material. Reference numeral 11 denotes a cleaning piece 11 in which brush hairs 10 are planted on the base fabric 9. Reference numeral 12 denotes a cap. Reference numeral 13 denotes a shaft, and reference numeral 14 denotes a bracket 14 in which the shaft 13 is integrally formed with the cap 12. A bearing 15 receives the outer diameter of the shaft 13 and rotatably supports the rotary cleaning body 7.

図３は、アルミニウムの金属の材料を用いた、中空部１７を有する円筒形状の芯棒８の斜視図である。   FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a cylindrical core rod 8 having a hollow portion 17 using an aluminum metal material.

次に、図４において、回転清掃体７の製造、加工方法について述べる。
アルミニウムの金属の材料を用いた、中空部１７を有する円筒形状の芯棒８の外周に、基布９にブラシ毛１０を植設し、端部に切り欠き部１６を有し、短冊状に切断された清掃片１１を、芯棒８の長手方向に螺旋状に巻きつけ、清掃片１１の端部の切り欠き部１６を芯棒８の中空部１７に折り込む。次に、キャップ１２を芯棒８の中空部１７に挿入して、芯棒８に清掃片１１、及びキャップ１２を固着すれば、外径の細い、清掃片の剥がれにくい、回転清掃体７が完成される。 Next, referring to FIG. 4, a method for manufacturing and processing the rotary cleaning body 7 will be described.
Brush hair 10 is planted on the base fabric 9 on the outer periphery of a cylindrical core rod 8 having a hollow portion 17 using a metal material of aluminum, and a notch portion 16 is provided at an end portion. The cut cleaning piece 11 is spirally wound in the longitudinal direction of the core rod 8, and the notch 16 at the end of the cleaning piece 11 is folded into the hollow portion 17 of the core rod 8. Next, when the cap 12 is inserted into the hollow portion 17 of the core rod 8 and the cleaning piece 11 and the cap 12 are fixed to the core rod 8, the rotating cleaning body 7 having a small outer diameter and being difficult to peel off the cleaning piece is obtained. Completed.

さらに、短冊状の清掃片１１は、端部のブラシ毛１０を短く毛刈りしたので、両端にキャップ１２をはめて固着する際に、ブラシ毛１０が邪魔にならずに組み立てることができる。また、清掃片１１の上からキャップ１２をかぶせて圧入することができ、清掃片１１の端部がはがれにくくなる
また、清掃片１１は、端部のブラシ毛１０を短く毛刈りする代わりに、ブラシ毛１０の植設をしない部分を設けてもよい。 Further, since the strip-like cleaning piece 11 is obtained by cutting the brush bristles 10 at the ends shortly, the bristles 10 can be assembled without interfering with the caps 12 at both ends. Moreover, the cap 12 can be put on the cleaning piece 11 and press-fitted, and the end of the cleaning piece 11 is difficult to peel off. You may provide the part which does not plant the bristle 10.

さらに、清掃片１１は、基布９の背面側に両面テープ用いて芯棒８に巻き付けると、組み付ける際の位置ずれが起こりにくく、また、接着強度も増し、清掃片１１が剥がれにくくなる。また、両面テープの代わりに、接着剤を用いてもよい。   Further, when the cleaning piece 11 is wound around the core bar 8 using a double-sided tape on the back side of the base fabric 9, it is difficult for the positional deviation at the time of assembly to occur, the adhesive strength is increased, and the cleaning piece 11 is difficult to peel off. Moreover, you may use an adhesive agent instead of a double-sided tape.

第２の方法は、図５に示すように、芯棒８の外周面に凹部１８を設けて、清掃片１１をらせん状に取り付けたので、凹部が接着剤の溜まり場になり、清掃片１１の接着強度が増すので、剥がれにくくなる。   In the second method, as shown in FIG. 5, the recess 18 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the core rod 8 and the cleaning piece 11 is attached in a spiral shape. Since the adhesive strength increases, it becomes difficult to peel off.

また、本発明の清掃装置を空気調和機本体１内に設けることにより、エアフィルター５の目詰まりが起こらず、常に安定した風量を確保でき、運転効率も良いので、性能も維持されて空気調和機本体の消費電力も節約できる。且つ、エアフィルター５を取り外して塵埃の清掃を行う必要もなくなり、メンテナンスの頻度が大幅に低減できる。   In addition, by providing the cleaning device of the present invention in the air conditioner body 1, the air filter 5 is not clogged, a stable air volume can be secured at all times, and the operation efficiency is good. The power consumption of the machine can also be saved. Moreover, it is not necessary to remove the air filter 5 and clean the dust, and the maintenance frequency can be greatly reduced.

次に、本実施例における空気調和機の清掃装置及びそれを搭載した空気調和機の動作を説明する。
空気調和機本体１を、例えば、冷房運転すると、送風ファン６により室内の空気が吸込口２から流入し、エアフィルター５を通って熱交換器４に至り、そこで冷却され、冷たい空気が吹き出し口３から室内に吹き出される。吸込口２から吸引される室内の空気に含まれる塵埃は、エアフィルター５で捕集され、エアフィルター５の表面に次第に堆積していく。エアフィルター５の表面に塵埃が堆積してくると、空気の通気圧損が増加し、熱交換器４での熱交換効率が低下してくるので、定期的に或いは、必要に応じて、エアフィルター５に堆積した塵埃の除去運転が必要となる。 Next, the operation of the air conditioner cleaning device and the air conditioner equipped with the same in the present embodiment will be described.
For example, when the air conditioner body 1 is in a cooling operation, indoor air flows from the suction port 2 by the blower fan 6, passes through the air filter 5, reaches the heat exchanger 4, and is cooled there. 3 is blown into the room. Dust contained in the indoor air sucked from the suction port 2 is collected by the air filter 5 and gradually accumulates on the surface of the air filter 5. If dust accumulates on the surface of the air filter 5, air pressure loss of the air increases and the heat exchange efficiency in the heat exchanger 4 decreases. Therefore, the air filter may be periodically or as needed. 5 is required to remove dust accumulated in 5.

塵埃の除去運転の開始に当たり、回転清掃体７は、エアフィルター５の下端に位置している。塵埃の除去運転を開始すると、回転駆動手段（図示せず）により回転清掃体７が矢印の方向に回転すると共に、その回転する回転清掃体７が上下移動手段（図示せず）で、エアフィルター５の表面に沿って上方に移動する。この間に、回転清掃体７の清掃片１１の先端で、エアフィルター５に付着堆積した塵埃が掻き落とされる。   At the start of the dust removal operation, the rotary cleaning body 7 is located at the lower end of the air filter 5. When the dust removal operation is started, the rotary cleaning member 7 is rotated in the direction of the arrow by the rotation driving means (not shown), and the rotating rotary cleaning member 7 is moved up and down (not shown) by the air filter. 5 moves upward along the surface. During this time, the dust adhering to the air filter 5 is scraped off at the tip of the cleaning piece 11 of the rotary cleaning body 7.

次に、上下移動手段（図示せず）により、回転清掃体７が、エアフィルター５の上端まで達すると、自動的に下降し、エアフィルター５の下端まで移動する。この間も上昇時と同様に、回転清掃体７の清掃片１１の先端で、エアフィルター５に付着堆積した塵埃が掻き落とされる。   Next, when the rotary cleaning body 7 reaches the upper end of the air filter 5 by the vertical movement means (not shown), it automatically descends and moves to the lower end of the air filter 5. Also during this time, the dust adhering to and accumulating on the air filter 5 is scraped off at the tip of the cleaning piece 11 of the rotary cleaning body 7 in the same manner as when it is raised.

回転清掃体７は、回転しながらエアフィルター５に接触しながら移動するため、回転清掃体７によって、強力にエアフィルター５に付着した塵埃を掻き出して除去することができる。   Since the rotary cleaning body 7 moves while contacting the air filter 5 while rotating, the rotary cleaning body 7 can strongly scrape and remove dust adhering to the air filter 5.
