Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a pump to operate in slow operating cycles, resulting in a low operating noise, by forming an actuating member using a shape memory alloy, and by utilizing extensional and contractional deformation thereof due to a change in temperature to actuate the pump. CONSTITUTION:An actuating member 16 being cooled with drain water, is extensionally deformed, for example, at temperatures under certain temperature to actuate a pump 15, causing it to pump up drain water. In a stage where the extension deformation comes close of the limit of extensional deformation, a control switch 25 is turned on the actuated a heater 24 so that the actuating member 16 is heated. When the temperature of the actuating member 18, on this heating, exceeds a certain temperature, said actuating member 16 begins, for example, to contractionally deform to actuate the pump 15 in the direction opposite to that at the extensional deformation, causing the pump to discharge the drain water which has been pump. up. Thereafter, the drain water is discharged by repeating this contraction deformation.

(Prior art) For example, in a ceiling-mounted air conditioner that is used by being embedded in the ceiling or suspended from the ceiling, drain water is discharged outdoors through a drain channel installed in the ceiling. . Then, in order to provide an appropriate drain slope to the drain waterway in the ceiling, the drain water is pumped to a predetermined water head height using a drain pump.

Conventionally, a rotary pump is generally used as this type of drain pump. For example, Utility Model Publication No. 51-26923
The centrifugal drain pump disclosed in the publication is one of the typical rotary pumps. All pumps of this type are driven by a motor, and are activated only when necessary to intensively discharge drain water. In other words, the drain water generator is very small compared to the pump's drainage capacity, so the drain water is stored to a certain extent, and when the water reaches a certain level, the drain pump is activated and the drain water is discharged all at once. I try to do that.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In the conventional drain device as described above, the drain pump operates intermittently with relatively long pauses, so the operating noise is more strongly affected by the actual sound pressure level. was often taken away and was jarring. In addition, since drain water accumulates even after the heat exchange function is stopped, control is complicated, as it is necessary to control the operation of the pump separately from the operation control of the air conditioner itself. In addition to these, since the load on the motor is relatively large and rush current is likely to act upon startup, there are other problems such as short life of the motor, premature generation of noise, and high power consumption.
