［産業上の利用分野コ
本発明は、オフィス等の室内で使用する椅子にペルチェ
効果を有する熱電変換素子を組込んで、座っている人の
冷暖房を行えるようにした冷暖房機能付き椅子に関する
。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention incorporates a thermoelectric conversion element having a Peltier effect into a chair used indoors such as an office, so that it can cool and heat the seated person. Regarding chairs with heating and cooling functions.
［従来の技術］
オフィス等の冷暖房は部屋全体の温湿度が均一の状態に
なるように計画され、冷暖房専用のエアコン装置により
コントロールされるのが一般的である。そして冷暖房の
方法は、天井の吹畠口から冷温風を吹き出すか、室内に
設置した空調機から冷温風を吹き出して行うことが多い
。[Prior Art] Air conditioning and heating in offices and the like are generally planned so that the temperature and humidity throughout the room are uniform, and controlled by an air conditioner dedicated to heating and cooling. Heating and cooling is often done by blowing cold and hot air from a vent in the ceiling, or by blowing cold and hot air from an air conditioner installed indoors.
また椅子は通常−人一台ずつ保有し、移動可能に構成さ
れているが、座る以外に機能を持たないのが一般的であ
る。Furthermore, each person usually owns one chair, and although it is configured to be movable, it generally has no function other than sitting on it.
［発明が解決しようとする課題］
上記従来技術で説明したように、冷房と暖房のどちらも
できかつ移動が自由な小型の装置が現状ではないため、
椅子に冷暖房装置を一体に組込むようなことはされてい
ない。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As explained in the above-mentioned prior art, there is currently no small device that can perform both cooling and heating and is freely movable.
No air-conditioning or heating device is built into the chair.
しかし、部屋全体を均一に冷暖房しようとする空調方式
では、個人差、性別、年齢差等にもとづ（個人の好みや
、その時々の体調にあった個人的な要求に答えるのは困
難である。また各人が専用の冷暖房装置を持つと、設置
のためのスペースがかなり必要となり、作業スペースの
一部を占領してしまうという問題がある。However, with air conditioning systems that attempt to uniformly cool and heat the entire room, it is difficult to respond to individual needs based on individual differences, gender, age, etc. (individual preferences and physical conditions at the time). There is also the problem that if each person has their own heating and cooling equipment, a considerable amount of space is required for installation, which takes up part of the work space.
そこで本発明はペルチェ効果を有する熱電変換素子を使
用した小型の冷暖房装置を椅子に一体に組み込むことに
より、冷房・暖房を個人の好みで自由に選択でき、移動

設けなくてもよいようにすることを目的とする。Therefore, the present invention is designed to integrate a small air-conditioning device using a thermoelectric conversion element with a Peltier effect into a chair, so that individuals can freely select cooling and heating according to their preference, and it is possible to install the air-conditioning device in a portable manner. The purpose is to eliminate the need to provide a special space.
［課題を解決するための手段］

換フィンを取付け、熱電変換素子を直流電源に接続する
配線途中に電流の十−切り替え装置を設けた。[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention is a chair with a heating and cooling function to achieve the above-mentioned object, and it is provided with a thermoelectric conversion element having a Peltier effect attached to the backrest of the chair or the part on which the seat is seated. This method takes advantage of the heat dissipation phenomenon. A heat absorbing and dissipating plate was attached to the front side of the thermoelectric conversion element, a heat exchange fin was attached to the back side, and a current switching device was provided in the middle of the wiring connecting the thermoelectric conversion element to the DC power source.
ペルチェ効果は、吸熱と放熱が同時に起きているため、
排熱側に熱交換フィンを設けて排熱させるようにしてい
るが、その排熱効率を高めるために、例えば、排熱ファ
ンにより周囲の空気を吸い込み、その空気に熱交換フィ
ンで熱交換させて再び室内に放出するようにするのが望
ましい。The Peltier effect is due to heat absorption and heat radiation occurring at the same time.
Heat exchange fins are installed on the heat exhaust side to dissipate heat, but in order to increase the heat exhaust efficiency, for example, a heat exhaust fan sucks in the surrounding air and the heat exchange fins exchange heat with that air. It is desirable to release it back into the room.
［作用］
ペルチェ効果を持つ熱電変換素子に直流電流を流すと、
片側が吸熱（冷却）、反対側が放熱（加熱）となる。熱
電変換素子へ供給する直流電流のプラス・マイナスを反
転すると、吸熱面、放熱面も反転する。[Effect] When direct current is passed through a thermoelectric conversion element with Peltier effect,
One side absorbs heat (cooling) and the other side radiates heat (heating). When the plus/minus of the DC current supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element is reversed, the heat absorption surface and heat radiation surface are also reversed.
このため、上記の冷暖房機能付き椅子の熱電変換素子に
直流電流を供給すると、熱電変換素子が、ペルチェ効果
で吸放熱現象を起こし、表面側に設けた吸放熱板が冷却
あるいは加熱される。それに伴い椅子の背もたれや腰を
おろす部分も冷却あるいは加熱され、椅子に座っている
人を冷やしたり、暖めたりする。Therefore, when direct current is supplied to the thermoelectric conversion element of the above-mentioned chair with air conditioning function, the thermoelectric conversion element causes a heat absorption/radiation phenomenon due to the Peltier effect, and the heat absorption/dissipation plate provided on the front side is cooled or heated. As a result, the backrest of the chair and the seated area are also cooled or heated, cooling or warming the person sitting in the chair.

（冷却）になるよう熱電変換素子に直流電流を流す。吸
放熱板は、吸熱側になるため熱を奪われて温度が低下す

ィン側は逆に放熱側となるため、熱交換フィンの温度が
上昇して、排熱ファンにより吸引された空気は加熱され
、排出口より椅子の後方に排出される。For cooling, operate the switching device to apply direct current to the thermoelectric conversion element so that the heat absorption/dissipation plate side absorbs heat (cools). Since the heat absorbing and dissipating plate is on the heat absorbing side, heat is taken away and the temperature decreases. As a result, the backrest of the chair becomes cold,
Cools the back of the person sitting. At this time, the heat exchange fin side becomes the heat radiation side, so the temperature of the heat exchange fin increases, the air sucked by the heat exhaust fan is heated, and is discharged to the rear of the chair from the exhaust port.

なって排出口により出てくる。For heating, if the DC current to the thermoelectric conversion element is reversed using a switching device, the supply side will now become the heat radiation side and the heat absorption and radiation plate will be warmed. As a result, the backrest and other parts of the seat are heated, which in turn warms the back of the person sitting. At this time, the heat exchange fin side absorbs heat, the temperature of the heat exchange fin decreases, and the air sucked in by the heat exhaust fan has its heat removed and becomes cold air, which comes out through the exhaust port.
