Description

本発明は空気調和機の室内機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner.

従来、空気吸込口にパネルを設けた空気調和機の室内機として、本体前面の下側に、風を吹き出す吹出口を設け、その吹出口の上方に、空気吸込口を開閉する前面パネルを設け、本体に内蔵された開閉装置で、前記前面パネルを前後方向に開閉するものがあった。
特開平04−084042号公報
Conventionally, as an indoor unit of an air conditioner having a panel at the air inlet, a blower outlet for blowing wind is provided below the front of the main body, and a front panel for opening and closing the air inlet is provided above the outlet. Some open / close devices built in the main body open and close the front panel in the front-rear direction.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 04-084042

しかしながら上記のような前面パネルを前後に開閉するものにあっては、前面パネルが空気吸込口の前方に略水平に移動するため、本体上部からの吸い込みが多くなり、その結果、部屋天井付近の流量が大きくなるため、部屋の空気が持ち上げられ、部屋下部の流れが阻害されやすいという課題があった。   However, in the case of opening and closing the front panel as described above, since the front panel moves substantially horizontally in front of the air suction port, the suction from the upper part of the main body increases, and as a result, the vicinity of the ceiling of the room Since the flow rate is increased, there is a problem that the air in the room is lifted and the flow in the lower part of the room is easily obstructed.

本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するもので、空気調和機の美観性を高めつつ、さらに、運転時の気流を良化させることができる空気調和機を提供することを目的とするものである。   This invention solves the said conventional subject, and it aims at providing the air conditioner which can improve the air flow at the time of driving | operation further, improving the aesthetics of an air conditioner. is there.

上記課題を解決するため本発明は、吹出口を備えた空気調和機の室内機の吸込口の前面に開閉可能な前面パネルを設け、前記本体の運転停止時には前記前面パネルが閉じた状態に位置し、運転時には、前記前面パネルが前方上方に移動するとともに、前記前面パネルの上端が本体天面より上部に位置するようにしたもので、天面からの吸い込みが低下するために部屋全体の気流が改善され、下向きの気流が確保されやすくなる。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a front panel that can be opened and closed in front of the air inlet of an air conditioner indoor unit having a blower outlet, and the front panel is positioned in a closed state when the operation of the main body is stopped. During operation, the front panel moves forward and upward, and the upper end of the front panel is located above the top surface of the main body. Is improved, and a downward airflow is easily secured.

本発明の空気調和機の室内機は、前面パネルを美観性の高いデザインにすることができるとともに、運転時には室内の気流を良化することができる。   The indoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention can make the front panel a highly aesthetic design and can improve the indoor airflow during operation.

第1の発明は、吸込口と吹出口とを備え、前記吸込口と前記吹出口との間に熱交換器、ファンとを有して風回路を構成し、前記吸込口の前面に開閉可能な前面パネルを設け、運転停止時には前記前面パネルが閉じ、運転時には前記前面パネルが前方上方に移動するもので、前面パネル下の開きが大きくなるため、ファンにより近い部分からの吸い込みが大きくなり、その結果送風性能を向上させるとともに、吸込口の前面上部の天井付近の流れを抑制することが可能となる。   1st invention is equipped with a suction inlet and a blower outlet, has a heat exchanger and a fan between the said suction inlet and the said blower outlet, comprises a wind circuit, and can be opened and closed in the front of the said suction inlet The front panel is closed when the operation is stopped, and the front panel moves forward and upward during operation, so that the opening under the front panel is large, so the suction from the part closer to the fan is large, As a result, it is possible to improve the air blowing performance and suppress the flow near the ceiling at the upper front of the suction port.

第2の発明は、第1の発明において、前面パネルの前方上方への移動範囲が本体の運転状態に依存したもので、運転状態によってパネルの開き高さを変えることにより、その運転状態での最適な室内気流を生み出すことが可能となる。   According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect, the range of movement of the front panel to the front upper direction depends on the operating state of the main body. By changing the opening height of the panel according to the operating state, It is possible to create an optimal indoor airflow.

第3の発明は、特に第1または第2の発明において、運転時において、前記前面パネルの上端が本体天面より上部に位置することにより、天面からの吸い込みが低下するために部屋天井付近の流量が低下し、それに伴い部屋全体の気流が改善されるだけでなく、前面パネル下の開きが大きくなるため、ファンにより近い部分からの吸い込みが大きくなり、
その結果送風性能を向上させることが可能となる。
In the third invention, particularly in the first or second invention, the upper end of the front panel is located above the top surface of the main body during operation, so that suction from the top surface is reduced, so that the vicinity of the ceiling of the room As the flow rate of the air flow decreases, the airflow in the entire room improves, and the opening under the front panel increases, so the suction from the part closer to the fan increases,
As a result, it is possible to improve the blowing performance.

第4の発明は、特に第1〜第3の発明において、運転時における前記前面パネルの上端と本体天面との距離が据付必要最小距離以上であることにより、天面からの吸い込みの確実な低下を促すことが可能となり、部屋内の気流改善をもたらすことが出来る。   In the fourth aspect of the invention, particularly in the first to third aspects of the invention, when the distance between the upper end of the front panel and the top surface of the main body during operation is equal to or greater than the minimum required distance for installation, reliable suction from the top surface is possible. The reduction can be promoted, and the air flow in the room can be improved.

第5の発明は、特に第1〜第4の発明において、運転時において、前記前面パネルの上端が天井と接する、もしくは天井付近までであることにより、空気調和機本体の正面方向から天面への吸い込みが完全に遮断されるため、部屋の天井付近の流量が大きく低下し、それに伴い本体からの下向きの気流が天井に吸い上げられることなく遠くまで到達しやすくなる。さらに前面パネルが高い位置に配置されることにより、前面パネル下からの吸い込み領域が大きくなるため、送風性能の向上が可能となる。   According to a fifth aspect of the invention, in the first to fourth aspects of the invention, particularly, during operation, the upper end of the front panel is in contact with the ceiling or near the ceiling, so that the front side of the air conditioner main body is directed to the top surface. Since the suction is completely blocked, the flow rate in the vicinity of the ceiling of the room is greatly reduced, and the downward airflow from the main body easily reaches far without being sucked up to the ceiling. Furthermore, since the front panel is arranged at a high position, the suction area from the bottom of the front panel is increased, so that the air blowing performance can be improved.

第6の発明は、特に第1〜第5の発明において、運転時において、前面パネルの下端がドレン受けの上端より上方に位置することにより、前面パネル下からの吸い込み領域が大きくなるため、送風性能の向上が可能となる。   In the sixth aspect of the invention, particularly in the first to fifth aspects of the invention, since the lower end of the front panel is positioned above the upper end of the drain receiver during operation, the suction area from below the front panel is increased. The performance can be improved.

第7の発明は、特に第1〜第6の発明において、運転モードが暖房であることにより、暖められて密度が小さく軽くなった空気が天井付近の気流により上昇するのを防ぐことが可能となり、暖気の到達距離を長くすることが出来る。   In the seventh aspect of the invention, in particular, in the first to sixth aspects of the invention, when the operation mode is heating, it is possible to prevent the air that has been warmed and whose density has become smaller and lighter from rising due to the airflow near the ceiling. , The reach of warm air can be lengthened.

第8の発明は、特に第1〜第7の発明において、独立した上下風向羽根を2枚以上搭載する構成とすることにより、その上下方向風向羽根を絞る形に制御することにより、本体より吹き出る気流の到達距離をさらに長くすることが出来る。   According to an eighth aspect of the invention, particularly in the first to seventh aspects of the invention, by adopting a configuration in which two or more independent vertical wind direction blades are mounted, the vertical wind direction blades are controlled to be squeezed to blow out from the main body. The reach of the airflow can be further increased.

第9の発明は、特に第1〜第8の発明において、独立した左右風向羽根を2枚以上搭載する構成とすることにより、その左右方向風向羽根を絞る形に制御することにより、本体より吹き出る気流の到達距離をさらに長くすることが出来る。   In the ninth aspect of the invention, in particular in the first to eighth aspects of the invention, a configuration in which two or more independent left and right wind direction blades are mounted, and the left and right direction wind direction blades are controlled to be squeezed to blow out from the main body. The reach of the airflow can be further increased.

以下、本発明の各実施の形態を図1〜7に基づいて説明する。なお、本実施の形態に限るものではない。   Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Note that the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, showing a state where operation is stopped. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the indoor unit of the air conditioner and shows a state during operation. However, the state of FIG. 2 is the same state as the indoor unit of the conventional air conditioner. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an indoor airflow in a room where a conventional air conditioner indoor unit is installed, and shows the airflow generated by the indoor unit of the conventional air conditioner.

図1、図2において、空気調和機の室内機の本体1の前面と上部にそれぞれ前面吸込口10aと天面吸込口10b、前面の下部には吹出口11とを備え、本体1の内部には、吸込口10a,10bと吹出口11との間に熱交換器2、ファン3が配されて風回路が構成されている。熱交換器2の下部には、冷房運転や除湿運転時に発生する結露水を受けて排水するドレン受け5が配設されている。吹出口11には、吹き出される空気の方向を変える上下風向変更用羽根6と左右風向変更用羽根13とが設けられている。本体1の前面には、図示しない駆動装置によって回転駆動される支持具7で連結された前面パネル4が前面吸込口10aを覆うように配設されている。   1 and 2, a front suction port 10a and a top suction port 10b are provided on the front and top of the main body 1 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, respectively, and a blower outlet 11 is provided on the lower part of the front. The heat exchanger 2 and the fan 3 are arranged between the inlets 10a and 10b and the outlet 11 to constitute a wind circuit. A drain receiver 5 for receiving and draining dew condensation water generated during cooling operation and dehumidifying operation is disposed below the heat exchanger 2. The air outlet 11 is provided with an up / down air direction changing blade 6 and a left / right air direction changing blade 13 that change the direction of the blown air. On the front surface of the main body 1, a front panel 4 connected by a support 7 that is rotationally driven by a driving device (not shown) is disposed so as to cover the front suction port 10a.

空気調和機の運転停止時には、図1に示されるように、前面パネル4を閉じる方向に支持具7を回動(反時計方向)することにより、前面パネル4が閉じると共に本体1に密接
する。その際、前面パネル4の下端4aは、吹出口11の上端11aの下方に位置している。そして、空気調和機の運転時には、図2に示されるように、前面パネル4が開く方向に支持具7を回動(時計方向)することにより、前面パネル4が前方上方に移動して、前面パネル4の下端4aは吹出口11の上端11aよりB分だけ上方に位置する。このとき、前面パネル4の上端は本体天面高さ9より上部には位置していない。
When the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, as shown in FIG. 1, the front panel 4 is closed and brought into close contact with the main body 1 by rotating the support 7 in the direction to close the front panel 4 (counterclockwise). At that time, the lower end 4 a of the front panel 4 is located below the upper end 11 a of the air outlet 11. When the air conditioner is in operation, as shown in FIG. 2, the front panel 4 is moved forward and upward by rotating the support 7 in the opening direction of the front panel 4 (clockwise). The lower end 4a of the panel 4 is positioned above the upper end 11a of the blower outlet 11 by B. At this time, the upper end of the front panel 4 is not located above the top height 9 of the main body.

以上のように構成された空気調和機について、以下その動作と作用を説明する。まず、運転時には、前面パネル4が前方上方に移動し、ファン3の回転により、室内空気は、天面吸込口10bと、前面パネル4と本体1の上方、側方、下方の隙間より前面吸込口10aとから吸込まれ、熱交換器2により冷気や暖気に熱交換され、上下風向変更用羽根6と左右風向変更用羽根13とにより吹出し角度を調節されて、吹出口11から室内に吹き出される。   About the air conditioner comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. First, during operation, the front panel 4 moves forward and upward, and the rotation of the fan 3 causes the room air to be sucked into the front surface through the top surface inlet 10b and gaps above, sideways, and below the front panel 4 and the main body 1. The air is sucked in through the mouth 10a, is heat-exchanged into the cool air and the warm air by the heat exchanger 2, and the blow-out angle is adjusted by the up-and-down air direction changing blades 6 and the left and right air-direction changing blades 13 and is blown into the room from the air outlet 11. The

このように、本体1への空気の吸い込みは、本体前面と本体天面とから行われるが、このような開閉式のパネルを用いた空気調和機の場合には本体上部からの吸い込みが強いため、部屋の天井付近の風量が大きくなる傾向にある。すると、図3に示されるように、天井付近の強い流れによって床面付近の流れが弱くなり、その結果、床面付近の気流が矢印Zのように浮き上がって室内気流Xのように流れるという現象が起こっていた。とりわけ暖房運転時には、暖かく密度の軽くなってもともと浮き上がりやすい性質を持った暖気が、さらにこの天井の強い流れにより浮き上がることになり、本体1から足元を狙って暖気を吹き出しても、足元に到達しにくい状態となっていた。   As described above, air is sucked into the main body 1 from the front surface of the main body and the top surface of the main body, but in the case of an air conditioner using such an openable panel, the suction from the upper portion of the main body is strong. The airflow near the ceiling of the room tends to increase. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the strong flow near the ceiling weakens the flow near the floor, and as a result, the air flow near the floor rises as indicated by the arrow Z and flows like the indoor air flow X. Was happening. In particular, during heating operation, warm air that is warm and light in weight and has the property of easily floating up will rise due to the strong flow of the ceiling, and even if it blows out warm air from the main unit 1 and reaches the feet. It was difficult.

図4は本発明の実施の形態1における空気調和機の室内機の横断面図で、運転中の状態を示す。図5は本発明の実施の形態1における空気調和機の室内機が設置された部屋の室内気流の断面模式図で、本発明の空気調和機の室内機による気流を示す。   FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention and shows a state during operation. FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the indoor airflow in the room where the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is installed, and shows the airflow generated by the indoor unit of the air conditioner of the present invention.

そこで、図4に示されるように、前面パネル4の上端4bが本体天面高さ9より上部に位置するようにし、できるだけ天井付近に当接または近接するまで前面パネル4を上昇させる。このように動作させるために、図示しない駆動機構は従来以上に時計方向に回動し、支持具7は従来以上に延長できるように構成している。そして、このように動作させることにより、図5に示されるように、本体1前面上部の天井8付近の流れが抑制されるため、床面気流の浮き上がりが抑制でき、その結果、室内気流Yのように足元への気流の到達性が向上することとなる。   Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper end 4b of the front panel 4 is positioned above the main body top surface height 9, and the front panel 4 is raised until it is in contact with or close to the ceiling as much as possible. In order to operate in this way, the drive mechanism (not shown) is rotated in the clockwise direction more than before, and the support 7 can be extended more than before. And by operating in this way, as shown in FIG. 5, the flow in the vicinity of the ceiling 8 at the front upper portion of the main body 1 is suppressed, so that the floating of the airflow on the floor surface can be suppressed. Thus, the reachability of the airflow to the foot will be improved.

さらに、前面パネル4がより上部に配置された結果、前面パネル4の下からの吸い込み領域が大きくなって前面吸込口10aの下部前方の開放が大きくなり、本体正面からの吸い込みが多くなる。開閉式の前面パネル4を具備した空気調和機においては、一般的に本体1の厚みより高さの方が大きいため、ファン3からの距離の観点から、天面吸込口10bからの吸い込みよりも本体正面の前面吸込口10aからの吸い込みの方が送風性能への影響が大きく、前面パネル4が高い位置に位置することは送風性能の向上にもつながる。すなわち、前面パネル4の下端4aがドレン受け5の2つある上端5a(熱交換器2の前後)の高い側より上方に位置するように構成することにより、より送風性能の向上を図ることができる。   Furthermore, as a result of the front panel 4 being arranged at the upper part, the suction area from the bottom of the front panel 4 is increased, the front opening of the lower part of the front suction port 10a is increased, and the suction from the front of the main body is increased. In an air conditioner equipped with an openable front panel 4, the height of the main body 1 is generally larger than the thickness of the main body 1, and therefore, from the viewpoint of the distance from the fan 3, it is more than the suction from the top surface inlet 10 b. The suction from the front suction port 10a on the front of the main body has a greater influence on the blowing performance, and the front panel 4 being positioned at a higher position leads to an improvement in the blowing performance. That is, by configuring the front panel 4 so that the lower end 4a of the front panel 4 is located above the higher side of the two upper ends 5a (front and rear of the heat exchanger 2) of the drain receiver 5, it is possible to further improve the blowing performance. it can.

また、一般に空気調和機の室内機を部屋に取り付ける際には、まず据付板を壁面に取り付けた後、その据付板に室内機の本体1を取り付けることになるが、そのときに吸い込み気流のために必要不可欠な据付必要最小距離が存在する。前面パネル4を高い位置に配置するほど本気流改善効果は大きくなるわけであるが、前面パネル4の上端と本体天面との高さの差をこの据付必要最小距離とした場合、前面パネル上端が天井に近い位置に配置されることになるため、効果が特に現れやすくなる。なお、据付必要最小距離以上に前面パ
ネル4を上昇させるようにすれば、より前面パネル上端が天井に近い位置に配置されることになり好適であるが、据え付け状態によって天井に当たる可能性があるため、当たった時には停止させるなどの対応機能を備えておけば問題ない。
In general, when an indoor unit of an air conditioner is attached to a room, the installation plate is first attached to the wall surface, and then the main body 1 of the indoor unit is attached to the installation plate. There is a minimum distance required for installation. The higher the front panel 4 is located, the greater the airflow improvement effect. However, if the difference in height between the upper end of the front panel 4 and the top surface of the main body is the minimum required distance for installation, the upper end of the front panel 4 Is arranged at a position close to the ceiling, so the effect is particularly likely to appear. If the front panel 4 is raised more than the minimum required installation distance, it is preferable that the upper end of the front panel is disposed closer to the ceiling, but it may hit the ceiling depending on the installation state. If there is a corresponding function such as stopping when hit, there is no problem.

冷房運転時には、暖房運転時ほど気流の上昇がないため、前面パネル4を特に天井付近まで上昇させる必要はなく、前面パネル4の移動が少ない分、動作時間が掛からないとともに、美観性もより高く保たれる。   During the cooling operation, the airflow does not increase as much as during the heating operation, so there is no need to raise the front panel 4 to the vicinity of the ceiling in particular, and since the movement of the front panel 4 is less, the operation time is not required and the aesthetics are higher. Kept.

また運転停止時は、図1に示されるように、吹出口11の上端11aより、前面パネル4の下端4aが、高さA分だけ下方に位置するため、不織布などが貼付けられた吹出口11の上端11aが隠蔽され、美観性を高めることができる。   When the operation is stopped, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower end 4 a of the front panel 4 is positioned below the upper end 11 a of the outlet 11 by a height A. The upper end 11a is concealed and aesthetics can be enhanced.

さらに本実施の形態によれば、前面パネル4に空気取り入れ用の開口部が一切不用になるので、埃が蓄積する事が無く、掃除が容易になり、美観の優れたデザインを施すことができるようになる。   Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, since no opening for taking in air is required at the front panel 4, dust does not accumulate, cleaning becomes easy, and an excellent design can be applied. It becomes like this.

さらに、図6は本発明の実施の形態1における空気調和機の室内機の要部断面図で、吹出口11の上下風向変更羽根6の状態を示したものである。図7は同室内機の吹出口の平面断面図で、吹出口11の左右風向変更羽根13の状態を示したものである。図6においては、独立した2枚の上下風向変更羽根6は吹き出し気流を絞る形状に配置されている。図7においては、左右風向変更羽根13が2組以上具備された空気調和機において、左右風向変更羽根13が吹き出し気流を絞る形状に配置されている。このように、それぞれ風向変更羽根を吹き出し気流を絞る形状に配置することにより、足元への到達性をさらに高めることが可能となる。   Further, FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the main part of the indoor unit of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and shows the state of the up-and-down air direction changing blade 6 of the air outlet 11. FIG. 7 is a plan cross-sectional view of the air outlet of the indoor unit, and shows the state of the right and left wind direction changing blades 13 of the air outlet 11. In FIG. 6, the two independent up / down airflow direction changing blades 6 are arranged in a shape that restricts the blowing airflow. In FIG. 7, in the air conditioner provided with two or more sets of left and right wind direction changing blades 13, the left and right wind direction changing blades 13 are arranged in a shape that restricts the blown airflow. Thus, by arranging the wind direction changing blades in a shape that restricts the blowing airflow, it is possible to further improve the reachability to the feet.

なお、本発明は前面パネルにより空気調和機本体天面の吸い込みを抑制して室内の気流を改善することであり、本体1や前面パネル4の形状に関して問わないことは言うまでもない。また、支持具7の形状や構造に関しても図に示すようなものに限らず、前面パネル4の駆動はどのような方法を用いてもかまわない。   In addition, this invention is suppressing the suction | inhalation of an air conditioner main body top surface with a front panel, and improving indoor airflow, and it cannot be overemphasized about the shape of the main body 1 or the front panel 4. Further, the shape and structure of the support 7 are not limited to those shown in the figure, and any method may be used for driving the front panel 4.

以上のように、本発明にかかる空気調和機は、前面パネルを開口部のない美観性の高いデザインにすることができるとともに、運転時には室内の気流を快適に保つことが可能となるため、高いインテリア性を求める住宅等の用途にも適用できる。   As described above, the air conditioner according to the present invention can have a front panel with a highly aesthetic design without an opening, and can maintain a comfortable indoor airflow during operation. It can also be applied to uses such as homes that require interior characteristics.
