Description
- The present invention relates to air conditioning equipment for an air-return area or room by using a damper-diffuser integrated motorized diffuser which has both a damper function to open or interrupt the flow of air and a diffuser function to diffuse air therearound.
- In current air-conditioning facilities, an area-return type air-conditioning type for each house of houses and multi-use facilities in the related art is divided into a duct return type, a duct return type in which a room space (a hallway and stairs) return type and a room return type are coupled to each other, a ceiling return type, and the like according to a kind of return air. In the area-return type air-conditioning type for each house of houses and multi-use facilities in the related art, an air-conditioning operation for each room is disabled and an operation power cost is excessive. Therefore, as a structure in which the air-conditioning operation for each room is enabled, a ventilation facility type coupled with a multi-air-conditioner which is a refrigerant-carrying type for each room and an area-return type air-conditioning type for each room using a multi-duct have been developed.
- The air-
conditioning type 100 of houses and multi-use facilities using a room-unit refrigerant-carrying type multi-air-conditioner includes anoutdoor unit 101, arefrigerant pipe 102, anindoor unit 103 installed on a ceiling of each area or each of room RM1, RM2, RM3, and RM4, and a dewcondensation drain pipe 104, as shown in a cooling/ventilation separation type system diagram ofFIG. 1 . In the air-conditioning type, air-conditioning is enabled for each area or room and a building can be installed in a narrow ceiling space, but a ventilation facility including aventilation unit 111, an air-supply duct 112, an air-exhausting duct 113, and a manual diffuser 114 is additionally required, and as a result, the air-conditioning type is very complicated. - Further, in the air-conditioning type, installation costs of refrigerant and dew condensation pipes are high, a repairing cost is excessively generated by a ceiling construction and a replacement construction of the refrigerant pipe when refrigerants leak by deterioration in the refrigerant pipe, a shoddy and fault construction, and the like, and a resident experiences a lot of convenience in repairing as the indoor unit is installed in each area or room throughout the indoor space.
- In addition, as a room-unit air-return type air-conditioning type using a multi-duct, an air-conditioning type of houses and multi-use facilities using a packet air-conditioner of an air-return type for each room is shown in
FIGS. 2 , 3, and 4. The air-conditioning type 200 ofFIG. 2 includes a package air-conditioner 201, a plurality of air-supply ducts 202, a plurality ofdischarge ducts 203, a manual diffuser 204, and a plurality ofdampers supply ducts 202 and the plurality ofdischarge ducts 203, the ceiling space is narrow, and as a result, actual construction is hindered. Further, as shown inFIGS. 3 and 4 , in an air-conditioning type 300 using a ceiling space of a hallway as a ventilation passage, the plurality ofdischarge ducts 203 are removed from the configuration ofFIG. 2 and aninduction duct 303 is installed to ventilate air by using aceiling space 305. In the air-conditioning type 300, a space for installing the duct is ensured, such that air-conditioning for each room or area is enabled and an installation cost is low, and indoor ventilation can also be achieved. However, in the air-conditioning type 300, air current is not smoothly circulated because the ceiling ventilation passage (ensuring the ceiling space of 200 mm or more is economical) is blocked by the air-supply duct 202 in terms of air-current circulation (cooling effect) as shown inFIG. 4 , and as a result, cooling efficiency of a cooling room is deteriorated and power consumption is increased by common exhaust. In particular, when the air-conditioning type 300 is actuated while a door of a first area (room) is opened, cooling efficiency of a last area (room) is significantly deteriorated. Further, in a pressure difference for each area, that is, room, inconvenience in such a case in which the room door is suddenly closed when the room door is opened and closed is caused due to generation of the pressure difference between spaces by formation of negative pressure caused by exhaustion of a non-cooling room and in controlling an air volume, a control deviation is increased due to air-volume control of a damper type to increase the power consumption and achieving balance of a diffuser is disabled during ventilation for each area by a fan law in which the air volume increases toward the fan. - Accordingly, the present invention is contrived to solve the above problems and an object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioning equipment for an air-return area or room by using a damper-diffuser integrated motorized diffuser, which has an operation structure in which air-conditioning (may include an outdoor air cooling function or a ventilation function) is enabled for each area or room and a low installation cost, is easily repaired, and also has a low repairing cost. Herein, the air-conditioning equipment is based on air-conditioner facilities (air-conditioner and affiliated facilities) of various configurations and may additionally include the outdoor air cooling function or the ventilation function. An air-conditioner to be described below basically adopts an air-conditioner and may additionally include a duct, a damper, and the like for outdoor air cooling or ventilation.
- In order to solve the problem, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides air conditioning equipment for an air-return area or room by using a damper-diffuser integrated motorized diffuser that supplies air processed from an air conditioner to each area or room and discharges or recirculates (ventilates) the air within the areas (rooms) to the outside, including: one air supply duct for supplying the air processed from the air conditioner to each area or room; a damper-diffuser integrated motorized diffuser including a diffuser cone and a diffuser casing installed in each area or each of the rooms and connected to be in communication with the air supply duct and forming an air flow passage between outer peripheries opposite to each other and a motor means actuating the diffuser cone with respect to the diffuser casing to control an opening rate of the air flow passage or open/close the air flow passage with diffusion of air; an area (room) controller including a control unit for controlling the motor means of the integrated motorized diffuser; and a discharging duct for discharging or recirculating (ventilating) the air within each area or each of the rooms to the outside or an induction duct to a ceiling space.

FIGS. 7 to 9 , the air processed by the air-conditioner 510 is supplied to each area or each of the rooms RM1, RM2, RM3, and RM4 through oneair supply duct 520 and each integratedmotorized diffuser 540. The integratedmotorized diffuser 540 is installed in each area or each of the rooms RM1, RM2, RM3, and RM4 in connection with theair supply duct 520 and includes a diffuser cone (deflector) 10 and adiffuser casing 20 such as an angular cross-section or a circular cross-section, as shown inFIGS. 10 and 11 . Further, the integratedmotorized diffuser 540 is installed such that thediffuser cone 10 can be actuated with respect to thediffuser casing 20 so as to open/close an air flow passage on an outer periphery between thediffuser cone 10 and thediffuser casing 20 and control an opening rate of the air flow passage. Herein, thediffuser cone 10 includes adiffuser cone body 11 forming the air flow passage on the outer periphery between thediffuser cone 10 and thediffuser casing 20 when thediffuser cone 10 is opened, adiffuser cone cover 12 forming aspace part 13 between thediffuser cone 10 and thediffuser cone body 11 and removably fixed to thediffuser cone body 11, and a motor means 60 fixedly installed in thespace part 13. - A
sealing member 14 is preferably installed in thediffuser cone 10 or thediffuser casing 20 to secure airtightness when thediffuser cone 10 and thediffuser casing 20 are closed and a printed circuit board (PCB) 70 for controlling the motor means 60 is also preferably installed in thespace part 13 in terms of maintenance. In this case, the PCB 70 and an external power supply are connected to each other through a cable and a connector connected with the cable. Therefore, the PCB 70 and the external power supply may be completely separated from each other easily when thediffuser cone 10 is disassembled. Reference numerals “19 and “22 c” represent through-holes ofcables materials diffuser cone body 11 and thediffuser cone cover 12 are fixed by ascrew 14 a with the sealing member interposed therebetween as in an exemplary embodiment ofFIGS. 10 and 11 . - The motor means 60 may generally adopt a geared motor using DC power, but is not limited to the configuration. Further, the motor means 60 as a configuration of one example for configuring vertical movement of the
diffuser cone 10 may be configured such that alead screw 62 which rotatably protrudes outside the center of thespace part 13 of thediffuser cone body 11 is connected to a motor rotatingshaft 61. As such, when the opening rate is controlled by the vertical movement of thediffuser cone 10, a means for preventing rotational movement of thediffuser cone 10 and guiding thediffuser cone 10 to move only vertically is required when the motor means 60 rotates. As one example, the means may include at least one rod-shaped guide means 18 and afixation supporting member 15 including a through-hole 17 guiding the vertical movement of the guide means 18 and installed in thediffuser casing 20. Further, afixation nut 65 which engages with thelead screw 62 is fixedly installed in thefixation supporting member 15. In addition, thefixation supporting member 15 may also be installed in aninternal casing 21 to be disassembled and assembled. As one example, as shown in the figure, acoupling portion 16 is formed at each end portion of thefixation supporting member 15 in a bent “” shape, a coupling groove having a groove shape into which thecoupling portion 16 of thefixation supporting member 15 is inserted is formed at acoupling portion 26 in theinternal casing 21, and a through-groove that enables thecoupling portion 16 of thefixation supporting member 15 to enter the coupling groove may be installed. By this configuration, when thefixation supporting member 15 is assembled, thecoupling portion 16 of thefixation supporting member 15 is inserted through the through-groove and slightly rotates in the coupling groove of theinternal casing 21 to be prevented from being separated. When thefixation supporting member 15 is disassembled, the process is reversely performed. As described above, after thefixation supporting member 15 is disassembled and assembled, thediffuser cone cover 12 may be disassembled from and assembled to thediffuser cone body 11. - Further,
limit switches diffuser cone 10, and particularly, a maximum openingrate adjusting nut 66 is installed together to serve as a stopper and a maximum opening rate of thediffuser cone 10 may be adjusted to prevent unnecessary opening due to adoption to various environments, thereby preventing waste of energy. - In the case where the motorized diffuser according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention having the above configuration is installed on a
ceiling 50 for indoor ventilation or cooling/heating a building, when the motorized diffuser needs to be checked or repaired, thediffuser cone 10 is separated from thediffuser casing 20 and thediffuser cone cover 12 of thediffuser cone 10 is separated from thediffuser cone body 11 to easily check or repair the motor means 60 or thePCB 70. Further, when the adjustingnut 66 needs to be adjusted, thediffuser cone 10 is separated from thediffuser casing 20 to adjust the adjustingnut 66. In particular, when thecoupling portions fixation supporting member 15 and theinternal casing 21 are configured, thediffuser cone 10 rotates slightly in a decoupling direction and then is lifted up from the coupling groove to be separated through the through-groove, and as a result, thediffuser cone 10 may be separated from thediffuser casing 20. The coupling is achieved in a reverse order to the decoupling. As described above, decoupling and coupling configurations between thediffuser cone 10 and thediffuser casing 20 are not limited to the configurations. - The motorized diffuser according to the present invention having the above configuration and operation may be adopted for indoor ventilation or cooling/heating the building. Since the motor means 60 or the
PCB 70 may be disassembled/assembled together with thediffuser cone 10, a check hole is not required and the ceiling may retain an esthetic design. Further, when only thediffuser cone cover 12 is disassembled directly outside, simple maintenance may be achieved more conveniently. - In addition, when the motorized diffuser is not used, the
diffuser cone 10 may be closed and displacement of thediffuser cone 10 is easily controlled to control an air volume proportionally as shown inFIG. 14 and the maximum opening rate may be controlled according to an environment by the adjustingnut 66, thereby contributing to saving energy of the building.
