熱板１５で臭いを吸着し、同様なサイクルを繰返す。When an air conditioner is used as in the conventional example, room air passes through the electric heater type regenerating deodorizer 13 by the flow of air, and the coating 16 on the surface of the rectifying type heat shield plate 15, more specifically, its adsorption. Odor components such as pet odor and tobacco odor are adsorbed by the material. On the other hand, the sheath heater 10 of the electric heater type regenerating deodorizer 13 is energized at a predetermined interval. The temperature of the sheath heater 10 rises, and the heat of the air due to radiant heat and convection is used to rectify the heat.

The odorous component adsorbed by the substance begins to decompose and undergoes a chemical change to water and carbon dioxide to dissipate. When a certain period of time has passed, the energization of the sheath heater 10 is terminated, the odor is absorbed again by the rectification type heat shield plate 15, and the same cycle is repeated.

１５ａの母材の表面にコーティングされている。The coating 16a is composed of an adsorbent such as activated carbon and a photocatalyst such as TiO 2, and is coated on the surface of the base material of the rectifying type light-shielding plate 15a.
【００６２】次に上記構成の作用について説明する。空
気調和機の使用方法等は第１実施例と同様である。Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described. The method of using the air conditioner is the same as in the first embodiment.

ーティング１６ａの吸着材により、ペット臭、たばこ臭
などの臭い成分が吸着される。When an air conditioner is used, room air passes through the ultraviolet lamp type regenerative deodorizer 13a due to the flow of air, and the adsorbent of the coating 16a coated on the surface of the rectification type light shading plate 15a causes a pet odor, Smell components such as tobacco odor are adsorbed.

返す。On the other hand, the ultraviolet lamp 21 is energized at a predetermined interval to irradiate the rectifying type shading plate 15a with ultraviolet rays to activate the photocatalyst in the coating 16a, whereby the odorous components start to decompose, The chemical changes to water and carbon dioxide and dissipates. When a certain period of time has passed, the power supply to the ultraviolet lamp 21 is terminated, the odor is absorbed again by the rectifying type light shielding plate 15a, and the same cycle is repeated.
【００６５】即ち、第１実施例と同様に臭い成分の吸

い間隔で整流式遮光板１５ａを交換する必要がない。That is, as in the first embodiment, adsorption and dissipation of odorous components are repeated, and it is not necessary to replace the rectifying type light-shielding plate 15a at short intervals as in the conventional deodorizing filter.
【００６６】次に整流式遮光板１５ａは第１実施例の整
流式遮熱板１５と同様、背面パネル８に対し、断熱効果

を必要としない。Next, the rectifying type light-shielding plate 15a exerts a heat insulating effect on the rear panel 8 similarly to the rectifying type heat-shielding plate 15 of the first embodiment. Therefore, there is no need for a heat shield plate on the rear panel 8 side unlike the conventional case.

要がなく、保守の煩がなくなるという利点がある。As described above, according to the first and second embodiments,
By the combination of the sheath heater 10 and the rectification type heat shield plate 15 or the combination of the ultraviolet lamp 21 and the rectification type light shield plate 15a, adsorption, decomposition, evaporation, volatilization and diffusion of pet odors, tobacco odors and the like in the indoor air are performed. Since it is possible to semi-permanently repeat the dissipation due to, etc., there is no need to use a deodorizing filter that must be replaced with a new one in a short time as in the conventional case, and there is an advantage that maintenance is not required.
【００６８】また、従って、頻回な脱臭フィルタの調達
が不要となるので維持費が著減するという利点がある。Therefore, it is not necessary to procure a deodorizing filter frequently, so that there is an advantage that the maintenance cost is significantly reduced.
【００６９】また、整流式遮熱板１５または整流式遮光
板１５ａによって背面パネル８への断熱が果たされるの
で従来の遮熱板９を必要としないという利点がある。Further, since the rear panel 8 is thermally insulated by the rectifying heat shield plate 15 or the rectifying light shield plate 15a, there is an advantage that the conventional heat shield plate 9 is not required.

Since 5a is formed in a curved shape along the airflow, there is an advantage that the resistance of the flow due to the direction change of the airflow is extremely small and therefore the power loss is small.
【００７１】また、従って空気流が整流され、背面への
衝突や、それに伴なう渦流や乱流の発生がなくなるので
騒音が著しく低減するという利点がある。Further, since the air flow is rectified and collision on the back surface and accompanying vortex and turbulence are not generated, there is an advantage that the noise is remarkably reduced.

で、従来のように脱臭フィルタを必要としない。That is, in the ventilation passage of the air conditioner, a rectification type heat shield plate or a rectification type light shielding plate coated with a malodorous adsorbent capable of eliminating and dissipating the odor in the air by the heat of the electric heater or the ultraviolet rays of the ultraviolet lamp. Since the plate is installed, a deodorizing filter is not required unlike the conventional case.
【００７４】また、臭いの吸着、分解は半永久的に行な

の要が殆どなく、保守費が著しく低減する。Further, since the odor is absorbed and decomposed semipermanently, there is almost no need to replace the rectifying heat shield plate and the rectifying light shield plate with a new one, and the maintenance cost is remarkably reduced.
【００７５】また、整流式遮熱板、整流式遮光板は上記
作用の他に背面パネルへの輻射熱を十分に遮断するので
遮熱板を必要としない。Further, the rectifying type heat shield plate and the rectifying type light shield plate sufficiently shield the radiant heat to the rear panel in addition to the above-mentioned functions, and thus do not require the heat shield plate.
