Description

本発明は,送風装置本体に着脱可能な送風装置の構成要素を上記送風装置本体に着脱する際に開閉される開閉カバーを備えた送風装置に関し,特に,上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉状態を的確に検出し得る送風装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a blower device including an opening / closing cover that is opened and closed when a component of the blower device that can be attached to and detached from the blower body is attached to and detached from the blower body. The present invention relates to an air blower that can be detected.

従来,エアーコンディショナー等の送風装置には,内部の清掃,メンテナンスを容易に行え得るようにするため,上記送風装置を構成する風向変更装置,換気ファン或いはフィルタ装置等の構成要素が上記送風装置の本体に着脱可能に構成されたものが公知である。
この種の送風装置において,清掃等を行う際に上記構成要素が取り外された状態で,上記送風装置が運転可能に維持されると,例えば,誤って運転指示が入力されることにより該送風装置の各構成要素が駆動されるため,清掃作業者を傷つける事故或いは上記構成要素の損傷事故に発展しかねない。そのため,近年では,特許文献1〜3に記載されるように,上記構成要素が取り外された場合は,それを検出して,上記送風装置自体の運転或いは所定の構成要素の駆動を強制的に停止するように制御された送風装置が提案されている。
Conventionally, in a blower such as an air conditioner, components such as a wind direction changing device, a ventilation fan, or a filter device constituting the blower are included in the blower so that the internal cleaning and maintenance can be easily performed. What was comprised by the main body so that attachment or detachment was possible is well-known.
In this type of air blower, if the air blower is maintained to be operable in a state where the components are removed when cleaning or the like is performed, the air blower is erroneously input, for example, by inputting an operation instruction. Since each of the components is driven, an accident that hurts the cleaning operator or an accident that damages the above components may occur. Therefore, in recent years, as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when the above-described component is removed, it is detected and the operation of the blower itself or the driving of a predetermined component is forcibly detected. Blowers that have been controlled to stop have been proposed.

上記特許文献2及び3に記載の送風装置はいずれも,センサやスイッチ等の検出手段を用いて,風向変更装置(上記特許文献では「吹出口部材」或いは「吹出しユニット」と称されている)の着脱状態を直接的に検出し,脱状態と検出された場合に送風装置の運転或いは構成要素の駆動を停止制御するものである。しかしながら,上記特許文献2及び3に記載の送風装置は,空気吹出口に風向変更装置を嵌め込むタイプのものであるため,その着脱作業は容易ではない。
これに対し,図9に示すように,上記特許文献1に記載の空気調和機(送風装置)Aは,風向変更板125を着脱する際に開閉される開閉カバー130の開又は閉状態を上記検出手段の出力信号により検出し,上記開閉カバー130の開状態が検出された場合に上記空気調和機Aの運転を停止制御するものである。この空気調和機Aでは,風向変更装板125の両端を空気吹出口126近傍のドレンパン107に形成された溝部107aに掛止させた後に上記開閉カバー130が閉じられ,該開閉カバー130の係止リブ130aと上記溝部107aとにより形成された軸受により上記風向変更板125が軸支されるため,その取り付け作業は極めて容易であり,熟練者でない一般ユーザであっても比較的容易に着脱作業を行うことができる。

Any of the air blowers described in the above Patent Documents 2 and 3 uses a detecting means such as a sensor or a switch to change the air direction (referred to as “blowout member” or “blowout unit” in the above Patent Document). The attachment / detachment state is directly detected, and when the removal state is detected, the operation of the blower or the drive of the components is stopped. However, since the air blowers described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 are of a type in which a wind direction changing device is fitted into the air outlet, the attaching / detaching operation is not easy.
On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, the air conditioner (blower device) A described in Patent Document 1 indicates the open or closed state of the open / close cover 130 that is opened and closed when the wind direction changing plate 125 is attached and detached. The operation of the air conditioner A is controlled to be stopped when the open state of the opening / closing cover 130 is detected by detecting the output signal of the detecting means. In this air conditioner A, the opening / closing cover 130 is closed after both ends of the wind direction changing plate 125 are hooked in the groove 107a formed in the drain pan 107 near the air outlet 126, and the opening / closing cover 130 is locked. Since the wind direction changing plate 125 is pivotally supported by a bearing formed by the rib 130a and the groove 107a, the mounting operation is extremely easy, and even a general user who is not an expert can relatively easily perform the mounting / dismounting operation. It can be carried out.

ところで,上記特許文献1に記載の送風装置の開閉カバーは,送風装置本体に軸支されたヒンジ部を中心にして回動するように構成されているのが一般的である。従って,上記ヒンジ部には,ある程度のガタ(余裕)が設定されている。そのため,このガタが要因となって,カバー閉状態における上記開閉カバーの取り付け位置にズレが生じ得る場合がある。かかるズレは,上記ヒンジ部から離れるに従って大きくなり,例えば,上記開閉カバーの先端部においては顕著に現れる。一方,上記検出手段は送風装置のドレンパンにネジ止めされているため,その取り付け位置にも多少のズレが見込まれる。
しかしながら,上述したような開閉カバーと検出手段とのズレは,上記検出手段による上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉状態の誤検出,即ち,上記開閉カバーが閉状態であっても開状態であると誤って検出するという誤検出を招き,上記送風装置の正常な運転を妨げるというおそれがあり,問題である。
また,上記開閉カバーは上下方向に開閉する構造のため,その閉操作は,上記開閉カバーを下方から上方へ回動させることにより行われるが,家庭用の送風装置等のように天井付近の高い位置に設置されている場合は,下方から上方へ持ち上げる閉操作が不充分となりやすく,そのため,上記開閉カバーの係合不良が生じるおそれがある。また,経時的な原因により開閉カバーの係合部が磨耗した場合は,正常に閉動作を行ったとしても十分に係合されず,上記開閉カバーの自重により該開閉カバーが開の方向へずれ易くなり,開閉カバーが閉じられているにもかかわらず開状態を誤って検出するおそれもある。
また,昨今では,送風装置のコンパクト化を図るため,上記検出手段として,マイクロスイッチが多用されるようになって来たが,該マイクロスイッチは,その接点間隔が微小であり,更に小型であるが故に,上記ズレによる誤検出が発生しやすいという問題がある。
従って,本発明は上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり,その目的とするところは,開閉カバーの開閉状態を検出する検出手段の誤検出を防止することにより,送風装置の円滑な運転制御を実現することにある。
Incidentally, the opening / closing cover of the blower described in Patent Document 1 is generally configured to rotate around a hinge portion pivotally supported by the blower body. Therefore, a certain amount of play (margin) is set in the hinge portion. Therefore, this backlash may cause a shift in the mounting position of the opening / closing cover when the cover is closed. Such deviation increases as the distance from the hinge portion increases. For example, the deviation appears remarkably at the tip of the opening / closing cover. On the other hand, since the detection means is screwed to the drain pan of the blower, some displacement is expected at the mounting position.
However, the deviation between the open / close cover and the detection means as described above is erroneously detected when the open / close cover is opened or closed by the detection means, that is, when the open / close cover is closed, it is erroneously detected. This is a problem because it may cause a false detection to be detected and hinder normal operation of the blower.
In addition, since the opening / closing cover has a structure that opens and closes in the vertical direction, the closing operation is performed by rotating the opening / closing cover from the bottom to the top. If it is installed at the position, the closing operation of lifting from the lower side to the upper side tends to be insufficient, and there is a risk that the opening / closing cover may be poorly engaged. Also, if the engaging part of the opening / closing cover is worn due to the passage of time, even if the closing operation is performed normally, the opening / closing cover is not fully engaged, and the opening / closing cover is displaced in the opening direction by its own weight. There is a risk that the open state may be erroneously detected even though the opening / closing cover is closed.
In recent years, in order to make the blower compact, a micro switch has been frequently used as the detection means. However, the micro switch has a small contact interval and is further small. Therefore, there is a problem that erroneous detection due to the above-described deviation is likely to occur.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its object is to prevent the erroneous detection of the detection means for detecting the open / closed state of the open / close cover, thereby enabling smooth operation control of the blower. It is to be realized.

上記目的を達成するために本発明は,送風装置本体に着脱可能な送風装置の構成要素を上記送風装置本体に着脱する際に開閉される開閉カバーを備え,上記送風装置本体の空気吹出口から気体を送風する送風装置に適用されるものであって,上記開閉カバーが,上記送風装置本体の幅方向にスライド移動自在に支持されてなり,該開閉カバーがスライド方向の閉状態から開方向へ所定幅スライド移動された後,上記送風装置本体に軸支されたヒンジ部を中心にして上記送風装置本体の奥行き方向に回動可能に支持されるものであり,上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉状態を検出するカバー開閉検出手段に設けられ,上記開閉カバーのスライド方向に弾性を有してなり,上記開閉カバーのスライド方向の閉時に押圧付勢されることにより上記カバー開閉検出手段を作動させる第1の弾性部材と,上記送風装置本体或いは上記開閉カバーに設けられ,上記開閉カバーのスライド方向に弾性を有してなり,上記開閉カバーのスライド方向の閉時に上記第1の弾性部材と当接して上記第1の弾性部材を押圧付勢する方向に縮する第2の弾性部材と,上記送風装置本体及び上記開閉カバーに設けられ,上記開閉カバーが上記ヒンジ部を中心に回動されて奥行き方向に閉じられた後,該開閉カバーがスライド方向の開状態から閉方向へ所定幅スライド移動されることによって相互に係合して該開閉カバーの閉状態を保持する微小突起及び係合爪と,を備えてなることを特徴とする送風装置として構成されている。
これにより,上記開閉カバーと上記カバー開閉検出手段との間に多少の位置ズレが生じたとしても,上記第1の弾性部材と上記第2の弾性部材とが相互に押圧付勢されるため,上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉状態を確実に検出すること可能となる。その結果,上記送風装置の円滑な運転を実現することができる。
なお,上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉時に,上記第1の弾性部材と上記第2の弾性部材とが押圧付勢して上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉状態を検出することができれば,上記開閉カバー,カバー開閉検出手段,上記第1の弾性部材及び上記第2の弾性部材の位置は特に限定されない。
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises an opening / closing cover that is opened and closed when a component of a blower that can be attached to and detached from the blower body is attached to and detached from the blower body. The opening / closing cover is applied to a blower that blows gas, and is slidably supported in the width direction of the blower body, and the opening / closing cover is moved from a closed state in the sliding direction to an opening direction. After being slid by a predetermined width, it is supported so as to be pivotable in the depth direction of the blower body around the hinge portion pivotally supported by the blower body, and the open / close state of the open / close cover provided on the cover close detection means for detecting, becomes have elasticity in the sliding direction of the cover, the cover by being closed during the pressing energizing the sliding direction of the cover A first elastic member for actuating the closure detecting means, provided in the blower body or the cover, it has elasticity in the sliding direction of the cover, it said at closing the sliding direction of the cover first a second elastic member for contraction of the first elastic member and in contact with the first elastic member in the direction of pressing urging, provided in the blower body and the cover, the cover is the hinge portion After the pivot cover is closed in the depth direction, the open / close cover is slid by a predetermined width from the open state in the slide direction to be engaged with each other to hold the open / close cover closed. It is comprised as an air blower characterized by including the microprotrusion and engaging claw which do.
As a result, even if a slight misalignment occurs between the open / close cover and the cover open / close detection means, the first elastic member and the second elastic member are pressed against each other, It is possible to reliably detect the open or closed state of the opening / closing cover. As a result, smooth operation of the blower can be realized.
If the first elastic member and the second elastic member are pressed and urged when the open / close cover is opened or closed to detect the open / close state of the open / close cover, the open / close cover, The positions of the cover open / close detection means, the first elastic member, and the second elastic member are not particularly limited.

ここで,上記第2の弾性部材の弾性係数が上記第1の弾性部材の弾性係数と同じかそれ以上であることが望ましい。これにより,上記第2の弾性部材が上記第1の弾性部材の弾性力に抗して該第1の弾性部材を容易に弾性付勢することが可能となる。
また,上記第1の弾性部材としては,上記カバー開閉検出手段の本体に対して所定の角度に傾倒された状態で弾性支持されたレバー状部材からなるものが考えられる。
Here, it is desirable that the elastic coefficient of the second elastic member is equal to or greater than the elastic coefficient of the first elastic member. As a result, the second elastic member can easily elastically bias the first elastic member against the elastic force of the first elastic member.
The first elastic member may be a lever-like member that is elastically supported while being tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the main body of the cover opening / closing detection means.

上記開閉カバーが,矩形状平板部材であり,上記微小突起及び上記係合爪が,上記開閉カバーにおける対角線上の離間した位置それぞれに設けられてなることが考えられる。
また,上記第2の弾性部材が上記ヒンジ部に設けられておれば,該ヒンジ部のガタによる上記開閉カバーの位置ズレへの影響を最小限に抑えることが可能となる。
It is conceivable that the opening / closing cover is a rectangular flat plate member, and the minute protrusions and the engaging claws are provided at positions on the opening / closing cover that are spaced apart from each other on a diagonal line.
Further, if the second elastic member is provided in the hinge portion, it is possible to minimize the influence of the play of the hinge portion on the positional deviation of the opening / closing cover.

本発明によれば,上記開閉カバーと上記カバー開閉検出手段との間に多少の位置ズレが生じたとしても,上記第1の弾性部材と上記第2の弾性部材とが相互に押圧付勢されるため,上記開閉カバーの開或いは閉状態を確実に検出すること可能となる。その結果,上記送風装置の円滑な運転を実現することができる。   According to the present invention, the first elastic member and the second elastic member are urged against each other even if a slight misalignment occurs between the open / close cover and the cover open / close detecting means. Therefore, it is possible to reliably detect whether the opening / closing cover is open or closed. As a result, smooth operation of the blower can be realized.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings so that the present invention can be understood. The following embodiment is an example embodying the present invention, and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention.
Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the blower X according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the blower X, and FIG. 3 illustrates the shape of the mounting portion 40 of the opening / closing cover 30. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 3 when the open / close cover 30 is closed, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 3 when the open / close cover 30 is opened in the front-rear direction, and FIG. 7 is a component diagram showing the configuration of the hinge 50, FIG. 7 is a component diagram showing the configuration of the opening / closing cover 30, FIG. 8 is a sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 3 in a state where the opening / closing cover 30 is closed, and FIG. These are the perspective views showing the external appearance of the conventional air conditioner A. FIG.
First, the outline | summary of the external appearance structure and internal structure of the air blower X which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated using FIG.1 and FIG.2.
As shown in FIG. 1, the blower X has a horizontally long blower body 1 composed of a cabinet 6, a drain pan 7, an open panel 9, and the like, and a cover mounting portion 40 at the lower left end of the blower body 1. An open / close cover 30 provided; an air inlet 3 for taking in indoor air; an air outlet 26 disposed at the lower part of the blower device X for sending out heat-converted air into the room; A separation type upper and lower louver 2a (hereinafter abbreviated as "separation louver") that can be attached to and detached from the drain pan 7 in the vicinity of the air outlet 26 and an integral type (not separation type) upper and lower louver 2b are provided. Yes. Hereinafter, the separation louver 2a and the above and the upper and lower louvers 2b are collectively referred to as a louver device 2. 1A shows a state in which the opening / closing cover 30 is closed, FIG. 1B shows a state in which the opening / closing cover 30 is slid to the left by a predetermined width, and FIG. 1C shows a state in which the opening / closing cover 30 is rotated forward. Represents the state of being moved and opened.

上記開閉カバー30は,送風装置Xの構成要素である上記ルーバ装置2を上記送風装置本体1に着脱する際に開閉されるものであり,上記ルーバ装置2の取付保持機構の一部を構成するものである。この場合,上記開閉カバー30が開けられると,上記ルーバ装置2が脱落するおそれがあるため,本送風装置Xには,上記開閉カバー30が開けられたことを検出した場合に送風装置Xの運転を停止する機能が備えられている。なお,上記開閉カバー30が開けられたかどうかは,従来周知のマイクロスイッチ60(ドア開閉検出手段の一例,図4,5参照)により検出される。
上記ルーバ装置2の両端には,該ルーバ装置2を揺動させる揺動軸21(図4,図5参照)が形成されており,この揺動軸21は,上記空気吹出口26の左右両端部に形成された軸受で軸支される。なお,上記空気吹出口26の左右両端部の軸受は,前記した特許文献1の空気調和機A(図9)に採用された風向変更装置の取付保持機構と同じように構成されており,即ち,右端部の軸受は,上記ルーバ装置2を揺動駆動させるステッピングモータ等(駆動手段)の出力軸との軸継手(カップリング)であり,右端部の軸受は,上記開閉カバー30が完全に閉じられたときに,上記ドレンパン7等に形成された溝部7a(図4,図5参照)に上記開閉カバー30に形成された後述の係止リブ35が重合することにより構成される。なお,このような上記ルーバ装置2の取付保持機構は前記特許文献1の空気調和機A(図9)に採用された取付保持機構と略同様であり,特に変わりはないため,ここでの詳細な説明は省略する。
The opening / closing cover 30 is opened and closed when the louver device 2 which is a component of the blower X is attached to and detached from the blower main body 1 and constitutes a part of an attachment holding mechanism of the louver device 2. Is. In this case, when the opening / closing cover 30 is opened, the louver device 2 may fall off. Therefore, the blower X operates the blower X when it is detected that the opening / closing cover 30 is opened. The function to stop is provided. Whether the opening / closing cover 30 has been opened is detected by a conventionally known micro switch 60 (an example of a door opening / closing detection means, see FIGS. 4 and 5).
A swing shaft 21 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) for swinging the louver device 2 is formed at both ends of the louver device 2, and the swing shaft 21 is connected to both the left and right ends of the air outlet 26. It is supported by a bearing formed in the part. Note that the bearings at the left and right ends of the air outlet 26 are configured in the same manner as the mounting and holding mechanism of the air direction changing device adopted in the air conditioner A (FIG. 9) of Patent Document 1, that is, The right end bearing is a shaft coupling (coupling) with the output shaft of a stepping motor or the like (driving means) that drives the louver device 2 to swing, and the open / close cover 30 is completely connected to the right end bearing. When closed, a groove 7a (see FIGS. 4 and 5) formed in the drain pan 7 and the like is formed by superimposing a locking rib 35 (described later) formed on the opening / closing cover 30. The mounting and holding mechanism of the louver device 2 is substantially the same as the mounting and holding mechanism employed in the air conditioner A (FIG. 9) of Patent Document 1, and there is no particular change. The detailed explanation is omitted.

続いて,図2の側断面図を用いて,上記送風装置Xの内部構成について簡単に説明する。図2に示すように,上記送風装置Xは,上記空気吸込口3の近傍に備えられた図示しない塵埃フィルタと,上記空気吸込口3から室内空気を吸い込むと共に熱交換された空気を上記空気吹出口26から室内に送り出す送風機5と,上記送風機5により吸い込まれた室内空気と冷媒との間で熱交換を行う熱交換器4と,が適宜配設されて構成されている。
このように構成された上記送風装置Xでは,上記送風機5の回転によって空気吸込口3から吸い込まれた室内空気が,熱交換器4を通ることで熱交換器4内を流れる冷媒との間で熱交換され,その後,上記ルーバ装置2の周囲を通って空気吹出口26から室内に送り出される。このとき,上記ルーバ装置2は,これらの各ルーバに連結された図示しないステッピングモータ等によって上下方向に揺動されるよう制御され,これにより,送風装置Xの空気吹出口26から送り出される空気流の方向が上下に変更される。
Then, the internal structure of the said air blower X is demonstrated easily using the sectional side view of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the blower X includes a dust filter (not shown) provided near the air suction port 3, and sucks room air from the air suction port 3 and heat-exchanged air. The blower 5 fed into the room from the outlet 26 and the heat exchanger 4 for exchanging heat between the indoor air sucked by the blower 5 and the refrigerant are appropriately arranged.
In the blower X configured as described above, the room air sucked from the air suction port 3 by the rotation of the blower 5 passes between the refrigerant flowing in the heat exchanger 4 through the heat exchanger 4. After heat exchange, the air passes through the louver device 2 and is sent out from the air outlet 26 into the room. At this time, the louver device 2 is controlled to swing up and down by a stepping motor (not shown) connected to each of these louvers, whereby the air flow sent out from the air outlet 26 of the blower device X is controlled. The direction of is changed up and down.

ここで,上記開閉カバー30の開閉動作について図1を用いて簡単に説明する。本送風装置Xにおいては,上記開閉カバー30の開閉は,従来とは異なり,以下の手順により行われる。
まず,図1(a)に示される閉状態の上記開閉カバー30に対し左方向へ力を加えると,上記開閉カバー30とカバー取付部40との横方向(送風装置本体1の幅方向)の係合が解除され,上記開閉カバー30がスライド移動可能な状態になる。このとき,上記開閉カバー30とカバー取付部40との前後方向(送風装置本体1の奥行き方向)の係合は解除されていない。この状態で,上記開閉カバー30を図1(b)に示す位置に来るまでスライド移動させる。
上記開閉カバー30を図1(b)に示す位置までスライド移動させると,上記開閉カバー30とカバー取付部40との前後方向の係合が解除される。このとき,上記開閉カバー30を手前に引き寄せることにより,図1(c)に示すように,該開閉カバー30を前後方向に回動させて,開状態とすることができる。なお,上記開閉カバー30の開状態から閉状態への開閉動作は,上述とは逆の手順により行われる。
Here, the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing cover 30 will be briefly described with reference to FIG. In the present blower X, the opening / closing of the opening / closing cover 30 is performed according to the following procedure, unlike the conventional case.
First, when a leftward force is applied to the open / close cover 30 in the closed state shown in FIG. 1A, the lateral direction of the open / close cover 30 and the cover mounting portion 40 (the width direction of the blower main body 1) is increased. The engagement is released and the opening / closing cover 30 is slidable. At this time, the engagement of the opening / closing cover 30 and the cover mounting portion 40 in the front-rear direction (depth direction of the blower main body 1) is not released. In this state, the open / close cover 30 is slid until it reaches the position shown in FIG.
When the opening / closing cover 30 is slid to the position shown in FIG. 1B, the engagement of the opening / closing cover 30 and the cover mounting portion 40 in the front-rear direction is released. At this time, by pulling the opening / closing cover 30 forward, as shown in FIG. 1C, the opening / closing cover 30 can be rotated in the front-rear direction to be opened. Note that the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing cover 30 from the open state to the closed state is performed by a procedure reverse to the above.

このような上記開閉カバー30の開閉動作は,上記開閉カバー30,該開閉カバー30のカバー取付部40及び該開閉カバー30の内部支持構造が以下に説明するよう構成されることにより具現化される。

次に,図4及び図5を用いて,上記開閉カバー30の内部支持構造について説明する。ここに,図4(a)は開閉カバー30が閉じられた状態における図3のA−A断面図,図5(a)は開閉カバー30が前後方向に開けられた状態における図3のA−A断面図であり,図4(b),図5(b)はそれぞれ図4(a),図5(a)を下方から見た内部透視図である。
図示されるように,上記開閉カバー30の内部支持構造は,送風装置本体1に設けられたヒンジ回動軸1aで軸支されたヒンジ50と上記ヒンジ係合部材36とが相互に係合することにより実現される。なお,上記ヒンジ回動軸1aは,上記ヒンジ50と係合された状態で,該ヒンジ50が横方向へ移動し得るよう上記ヒンジ50の幅長さより長く形成されている。
このヒンジ50は,上記送風装置本体1に上記開閉カバー30を回動可能に取り付けるものであって,図6の五面図((a):正面図,(b):左側面図,(c):右側面図,(d):平面図,(e):底面図)に示すように,2つの回転軸受50a,50bを具備する。この2つの回転軸受50a,50bのうち,その一方の回転軸受50aは,上記ヒンジ係合部材36と係合し,他方の回転軸受50bは,送風装置本体1の上記ヒンジ回動軸1aと係合する。このように上記各部が夫々結合されることにより,上記開閉カバー30が上記ヒンジ50によって送風装置本体1に回動自在に取り付けられる。
このように,上記開閉カバー30,該開閉カバー30のカバー取付部40及び該開閉カバー30の内部支持構造が上述の如く構成されることにより,上記開閉カバー30をその閉状態から左方向(開方向)へ所定幅スライド移動させ,その後,上記ヒンジ50を中心にして前後方向へ回動させることが可能となる。
Next, the internal support structure of the opening / closing cover 30 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. 4A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 3 when the open / close cover 30 is closed, and FIG. 5A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A- of FIG. 3 when the open / close cover 30 is opened in the front-rear direction. FIG. 4B and FIG. 5B are internal perspective views of FIG. 4A and FIG. 5A viewed from below, respectively.
As shown in the figure, the internal support structure of the opening / closing cover 30 is such that the hinge 50 pivotally supported by the hinge rotation shaft 1a provided in the blower main body 1 and the hinge engaging member 36 are engaged with each other. Is realized. The hinge rotation shaft 1a is formed longer than the width of the hinge 50 so that the hinge 50 can move in the lateral direction while being engaged with the hinge 50.
This hinge 50 is for attaching the opening / closing cover 30 to the blower main body 1 so as to be rotatable, and is a five-side view ((a): front view, (b): left side view, (c) of FIG. ): Right side view, (d): plan view, (e): bottom view), two rotary bearings 50a, 50b are provided. Of the two rotary bearings 50a and 50b, one rotary bearing 50a engages with the hinge engaging member 36, and the other rotary bearing 50b engages with the hinge rotating shaft 1a of the blower main body 1. Match. As described above, the respective parts are coupled to each other, so that the opening / closing cover 30 is rotatably attached to the blower main body 1 by the hinge 50.
Thus, the opening / closing cover 30, the cover mounting portion 40 of the opening / closing cover 30, and the internal support structure of the opening / closing cover 30 are configured as described above, so that the opening / closing cover 30 is moved leftward (opened) from its closed state. Direction), and then it can be rotated in the front-rear direction around the hinge 50.

上述のように開閉動作する開閉カバー30を有する本送風装置Xにおいては,上記開閉カバー30が閉状態に固定されると,その閉状態は,上記溝7a近傍の上記送風装置本体1に設けられたマイクロスイッチ60(カバー開閉検出手段の一例)によって検出される。本実施の形態では,上記マイクロスイッチ60として,そのアクチュエータ形状がヒンジレバータイプのものを採用する。即ち,該マイクロスイッチ本体に対して所定の角度に傾倒された状態で弾性支持された接点レバー61(第1の弾性部材に相当)を有する周知のマイクロスイッチを使用する。この接点レバー61に上記開閉カバー30の一部(具体的には後述のレバー部材51)が当接し,該接点レバー61が倒されることにより,上記マイクロスイッチ60が作動し,上記開閉カバー30の開又は閉状態が検出される。
また,上記ヒンジ50には,図6(特に(f)参照)に示すように,上記ヒンジ部50の右側部にレバー状に形成された弾性を有するレバー部材51(第2の弾性部材に相当)が設けられている。ここに,図6(f)は図6(c)のD−D断面図である。このレバー部材51は,上記開閉カバー30がスライド移動されることにより,上記マイクロスイッチ60の接点レバー61と当接して,該接点レバー61を押圧付勢する方向に伸縮する。なお,上記レバー部材51は,上記接点レバー61を十分に押圧付勢し得るように,その弾性係数は上記接点レバー61の弾性係数と同等或いはそれ以上に設定されている。
そのため,上記マイクロスイッチ60及び上記ヒンジ50は,上記開閉カバー30が閉じられることにより,上記接点レバー61と上記レバー部材51とが当接して,上記接点レバー61が上記レバー部材51で押し付けられて作動するような位置関係となるように取り付けられている。本実施の形態では,上記開閉カバー30がスライド移動することにより閉状態となるため,上記送風装置本体1の幅方向に上記接点レバー61及び上記レバー部材51が収縮するように取り付けられる。
このように,上記接点レバー61に当接する上記ヒンジ50の一部に弾性を有する上記レバー部材51を採用することにより,接点間隔の短いマイクロスイッチ60を用いた場合でも,上記開閉カバー30の開閉状態を確実に検出することが可能となり,上記開閉カバー30の取り付けガタによる誤検出が防止される。その結果,上記送風装置Xの円滑な運転を実現することができる。また,開閉カバー30が左右方向に所定幅スライド移動する構造となっているため,従来のような上下方向に開閉する構造(図9参照)と比べて,係合部の磨耗によって開閉カバー30がその自重により開の方向へずれるようなことがなくなり,その結果,カバーの開閉状態の誤検出が防止され得る。
なお,上述の実施の形態では,上記ヒンジ50に上記レバー部材51が設けられた例について説明したが,上記レバー部材51は上記ヒンジ50に限られず,少なくとも上記マイクロスイッチ60の接点レバー61と当接して押圧弾性収縮する位置に設けられていればよい。
また,上記開閉カバー30がその閉状態から左方向(開方向)へ所定幅スライド移動され,その後,上記ヒンジ50を中心にして前後方向へ回動される構成について説明したが,もちろん,上記開閉カバー30が回動せず,横方向(送風装置本体1の幅方向)にのみスライド移動自在に支持されたものであってもよい。また,上記開閉カバー30がスライド移動することなく,上記開閉カバー30が,上記ヒンジ30を中心にして前後方向(上記送風装置本体1の奥行き方向)にのみ回動可能に支持された構造を有する送風装置にも本発明は好適に適用され得る。
In the blower X having the open / close cover 30 that opens and closes as described above, when the open / close cover 30 is fixed in the closed state, the closed state is provided in the blower main body 1 in the vicinity of the groove 7a. It is detected by a micro switch 60 (an example of a cover open / close detection means). In the present embodiment, the micro switch 60 employs a hinge lever type actuator. That is, a known microswitch having a contact lever 61 (corresponding to a first elastic member) elastically supported in a state tilted at a predetermined angle with respect to the microswitch body is used. A part of the opening / closing cover 30 (specifically, a lever member 51 to be described later) comes into contact with the contact lever 61 and the contact lever 61 is tilted, whereby the micro switch 60 is operated and the opening / closing cover 30 is moved. An open or closed state is detected.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (particularly, see (f)), the hinge 50 has an elastic lever member 51 (corresponding to a second elastic member) formed in a lever shape on the right side of the hinge portion 50. ) Is provided. Here, FIG. 6F is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. When the opening / closing cover 30 is slid, the lever member 51 abuts on the contact lever 61 of the micro switch 60 and expands and contracts in a direction in which the contact lever 61 is pressed and biased. The lever member 51 has an elastic coefficient equal to or higher than that of the contact lever 61 so that the contact lever 61 can be sufficiently pressed and urged.
Therefore, when the opening / closing cover 30 is closed, the microswitch 60 and the hinge 50 are brought into contact with the contact lever 61 and the lever member 51, and the contact lever 61 is pressed by the lever member 51. It is attached so that it may be in a positional relationship to operate. In the present embodiment, the opening / closing cover 30 is closed by sliding, so that the contact lever 61 and the lever member 51 are attached so as to contract in the width direction of the blower main body 1.
Thus, by adopting the lever member 51 having elasticity in a part of the hinge 50 that contacts the contact lever 61, even when the micro switch 60 having a short contact interval is used, the opening / closing of the opening / closing cover 30 is performed. The state can be reliably detected, and erroneous detection due to looseness of the opening / closing cover 30 is prevented. As a result, smooth operation of the blower X can be realized. Further, since the opening / closing cover 30 has a structure that slides by a predetermined width in the left-right direction, the opening / closing cover 30 is worn due to wear of the engaging portion compared to a conventional structure that opens / closes in the vertical direction (see FIG. 9). Due to its own weight, it does not shift in the opening direction, and as a result, erroneous detection of the open / close state of the cover can be prevented.
In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the lever member 51 is provided on the hinge 50 has been described. However, the lever member 51 is not limited to the hinge 50, and at least the contact lever 61 of the micro switch 60 is in contact with the lever 50. It suffices if it is provided at a position where it comes into contact and is elastically compressed.
Further, the configuration has been described in which the opening / closing cover 30 is slid by a predetermined width in the left direction (opening direction) from the closed state and is then rotated in the front-rear direction around the hinge 50. The cover 30 may be supported so as to be slidable only in the lateral direction (the width direction of the blower main body 1) without rotating. Further, the opening / closing cover 30 is supported so as to be rotatable only in the front-rear direction (the depth direction of the blower main body 1) with the hinge 30 as the center without sliding the opening / closing cover 30. The present invention can also be suitably applied to a blower.
