Description
- The present invention relates to an air conditioning indoor unit for an air conditioner.
- In an air conditioning indoor unit for an air conditioner installed in a building room, room air is sucked into the air conditioning indoor unit through a filter by a fan, is cooled or heated in a heat exchanger, and then is blown off into the room through an air outlet opening.
- For such an air conditioning indoor unit, reduction of electric power consumption has always been required, and to meet this requirement, various measures have been undertaken. As one of these measures, a technique has been disclosed in which the input (power) to a motor for driving a fan is reduced by reducing the in-unit pressure loss in the air conditioning indoor unit (for example, refer to
Patent Documents 1 and 2). - Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
2000-193264 - Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
10-196989 - As described above, lowering of electric power consumption has always been required, and a technique for reducing the input to the motor for driving the fan also has a room for further improvements.
- The present invention has been made to solve the above-described technical problem, and accordingly an object thereof is to provide an air conditioning indoor unit capable of reducing the input to a motor for driving a fan and further lowering electric power consumption.
- The present inventors, who had carried out studies earnestly to achieve the above object, paid attention to an in-unit pressure loss in a suction flow path of air sucked into the air conditioning indoor unit and at an air outlet opening.
- As a result, the present inventors found that a grill and a filter that are present in the suction flow path and a louver that is present at the air outlet opening exert an influence on the pressure loss in the unit.
- Accordingly, the present invention provides an air conditioning indoor unit in which air in a room is sucked, the air is heated or cooled, and is blown off into the room, wherein the air conditioning indoor unit comprises a decorative panel provided with a suction opening for sucking the air in the room and an air outlet opening for blowing off the heated or cooled air into the room; an indoor heat exchanger for heating or cooling the air in the room; a blower for sending the air in the room to the indoor heat exchanger; a case body for accommodating the indoor heat exchanger and the blower; and a pressure loss suppressing mechanism for suppressing the pressure loss of the air flow at the suction opening and/or the air outlet opening.
- The pressure loss suppressing mechanism can comprise a grill having a passing part of the air sucked through the suction opening and a filter for removing foreign matters having a certain or larger size from the air sucked through the suction opening, at least the grill can be moved between a position at which the suction opening is covered and a position separating from the suction opening. If at least the grill is moved to a position separating from the suction opening, the grill can be prevented from increasing the pressure loss in the unit at the suction opening. To further reduce the pressure loss in the unit, not only the grill but also the filter is preferably moved to a position separating from the suction opening in the same way.
- In the case where the filter is also moved, the grill and the filter can be integrally formed, or can be configured so as to be movable independently.
- Also, the pressure loss suppressing mechanism can be configured so that a louver can be retracted to a position along the wall surface of an air discharge flow path continuous with the air outlet opening, the louver being located in the air discharge flow path to control the direction of wind blown off through the air outlet opening. Thereby, the louver can be prevented from increasing the pressure loss in the unit at the air outlet opening.
- Thus, the pressure loss in the unit is reduced by moving at least the grill or by retracting the louver, whereby the input (power) to the motor for driving the fan of the blower can be reduced. An operation mode of the unit in which the grill and the louver are moved is referred to as a power-saving mode, and an operation mode of the unit in which the suction opening is covered with the grill and the fan and the louver is located in the air discharge flow path is referred as a normal mode. The changeover of the modes can be controlled by the operation of a control switch performed by the user or according to a preset control program or the like.
- The present invention also provides an air conditioning indoor unit in which air in a room is sucked, the air is heated or cooled, and is blown off into the room, wherein the air conditioning indoor unit comprises a decorative panel provided with a suction opening for sucking the air in the room and an air outlet opening for blowing off the heated or cooled air into the room; an indoor heat exchanger for heating or cooling the air in the room; a blower for sending the air in the room to the indoor heat exchanger; a case body for accommodating the indoor heat exchanger and the blower; a grill which is provided so as to cover the suction opening and has a passing part of the air sucked through the suction opening; a filter which is provided so as to cover the suction opening and which removes foreign matters having a certain or larger size from the air sucked through the suction opening; and a moving mechanism for moving the grill and the filter independently to positions separate from the suction opening.
- The present invention further provides an air conditioning indoor unit in which air in a room is sucked, the air is heated or cooled, and is blown off into the room, wherein the air conditioning indoor unit comprises a decorative panel provided with a suction opening for sucking the air in the room and an air outlet opening for blowing off the heated or cooled air into the room; an indoor heat exchanger for heating or cooling the air in the room; a blower for sending the air in the room to the indoor heat exchanger; a case body for accommodating the indoor heat exchanger and the blower; a louver located in an air discharge flow path continuous with the air outlet opening to control the direction of wind blown off through the air outlet opening; and a louver retracting mechanism for retracting the louver from the interior of the air discharge flow path to a position along the wall surface of the air discharge flow path.
- According to the present invention, the pressure loss in the unit is reduced by moving at least the grill or by retracting the louver, and thereby the input (power) to the motor for driving the fan of the blower can be reduced. Therefore, the electric power consumption can be lowered.

- The present invention will now be described based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a general configuration of an air conditioning indoor unit in accordance with the embodiment of the present invention. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , an air conditioningindoor unit 10 is connected to an air conditioningoutdoor unit 1 by arefrigerant pipe 2 to form a ceiling mounted air conditioner. - The air conditioning
outdoor unit 1 is installed on the outside of a room, and has a compressor for compressing a refrigerant, anoutdoor heat exchanger 3 for heat-exchanging the refrigerant with air outside the room, and anoutdoor fan 4. - On the other hand, the air conditioning
indoor unit 10 is provided with anindoor heat exchanger 12, which heat-exchanges the refrigerant with air in the room, in acase body 11 embeddedly installed in a ceiling (not shown), so that the refrigerant circulates between the air conditioningoutdoor unit 1 and the air conditioningindoor unit 10. - The air conditioning
indoor unit 10 is further provided with ablower 14, a motor (not shown) for driving theblower 14, and abell mouth 15 inside thecase body 11. - Under the
case body 11, adecorative panel 19 is provided. In the lower part of thedecorative panel 19, a suction opening 16 for room air is formed in the central part, andair outlet openings 17 for blowing off air into the room are formed in the outer peripheral part. - When the ceiling mounted air conditioner is operated, the
blower 14 is driven, and the room air is guided from the suction opening 16 to thebell mouth 15 and is sent into theindoor heat exchanger 12. Then, the air is cooled or heated in a process of flowing through theindoor heat exchanger 12, through which the refrigerant sent from the air conditioningoutdoor unit 1 is caused to flow, and is blown off into the room through theair outlet openings 17 as conditioned air. - At the suction opening 16 in the center of the
decorative panel 19, agrill 20 is provided so as to cover the suction opening 16. Thegrill 20 is formed with openings such as slits that allow the room air to pass through. - On the back surface side (the side facing to the interior of the case body 11) of the
grill 20, afilter 21 is provided to remove dust and the like contained in the room air sucked through the openings of thegrill 20. Thefilter 21 may be provided integrally with thegrill 20, or may be configured so that it is held by a frame (not shown) and the frame holding thefilter 21 is installed on the back surface side of thegrill 20. - As shown in
FIGS. 1 and2A , thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 are provided so as to move up and down with respect to thecase body 11 fixed to the ceiling as a pressure loss suppressing mechanism. Therefore, thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 are attached to the lower ends of a plurality ofrods 22 elevatably held on thecase body 11. - The
rods 22 function as a moving mechanism for thegrill 20 and thefilter 21, and therefore can be moved up and down using a rack-and-pinion mechanism, a ball screw mechanism, or the like mechanism by motor drive. In this case, each of therods 22 can also form a rack gear or a ball screw. Also, therods 22 can be moved up and down by an air cylinder, an oil cylinder, or the like. Besides, thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 can be moved up and down by a link mechanism or the like, in place of therods 22. The mechanism for moving thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 up and down is not limited to the above-described ones, and any other mechanism can be used as appropriate. - The elevating operation of the
grill 20 and thefilter 21 using the above-described mechanism is controlled automatically by a controller of the air conditioningindoor unit 10. - In the air conditioning
indoor unit 10, the operation control is carried out by the controller in a plurality of modes including a mode in which air conditioning takes preference (a normal mode) and a mode in which power saving takes preference (a power-saving mode). - In the mode in which air conditioning takes preference, like the conventional indoor unit, the
blower 14 is driven, and the room air is guided from the suction opening 16 to thebell mouth 15 and is sent into theindoor heat exchanger 12. Then, the air is cooled or heated in a process of flowing through theindoor heat exchanger 12, through which the refrigerant sent from the air conditioningoutdoor unit 1 is caused to flow, and is blown off into the room through theair outlet openings 17 as conditioned air. At this time, thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 are located at positions at which thesuction opening 16 of thecase body 11 is closed as indicated by solid lines inFIG. 2A . - On the other hand, in the mode in which power saving takes preference, as indicated by two-dot chain lines in
FIG. 2A , thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 are lowered beyond thesuction opening 16, and a state in which a clearance is provided between thecase body 11 and thegrill 20 is formed. This clearance is provided with a dimension sufficient to prevent a pressure loss when the room air is sucked through thesuction opening 16. Thereby, the pressure loss produced when the room air is sucked is reduced as compared with in the mode in which air conditioning takes preference. As a result, the input to the motor for driving the fan of theblower 14 can be reduced, so that electric power consumption can be lowered. - In this embodiment, the
grill 20 and thefilter 21 are lowered together. However, in the case where thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 are configured so as to be movable in the up and down direction independently, only thegrill 20 can be lowered, or the lowering amounts (dimensions) of thegrill 20 and thefilter 21 can be made different. - In the above-described air conditioning
indoor unit 10, alouver 30 is provided at the air outlet opening 17 to control the direction of blown-off wind. - The
louver 30 is operated, as a pressure loss suppressing mechanism, in theair outlet opening 17 by aswaying mechanism 31, described later. As shown inFIG. 2B , theswaying mechanism 31 moves thelouver 30 between two positions of a wind direction control position P1 and a retraction position P2 in an airdischarge flow path 18 formed in thecase body 11 so as to be continuous with theair outlet opening 17. At the wind direction control position P1, thelouver 30 is positioned in the airdischarge flow path 18 to control the direction of blown-off wind, and at the retraction position P2, thelouver 30 is retracted to a position along the wall surface of the airdischarge flow path 18 so as not to obstruct the blown-off wind. Also, at the wind direction control position P1, theswaying mechanism 31 changes the angle of thelouver 30 with respect to the wind blow-off direction in the airdischarge flow path 18. - As shown in
FIG. 3 , theswaying mechanism 31 is configured so that a connectingshaft 35 is rotatably held on a pair ofholders 36 fixed to the case body 11 (refer toFIG. 2A ). At one end of the connectingshaft 35, anarm 42 is fixedly held via a key. To the other end of the connectingshaft 35, agear 37b and abearing 34b fixed to an L-shapedarm 33 are fixed via a key. At the distal end of thebearing 34b, agear 34c is rotatably supported. Amotor 34 is fixed to the upper part of thearm 33. To the rotating shaft of themotor 34, agear 34a is fixed via a key. Thegear 34a meshes with thegear 34c, and thegear 34c meshes with agear 34d. Thisgear 34d is fixed to ashaft 43. Theshaft 43 is insertedly and rotatably held by abearing 40, which is fixed to the lower part of thearm 33. - At both ends of the
louver 30,shafts shaft 32a is insertedly fixed into a hole provided at one end of theshaft 43. Theshaft 32b is insertedly fixed into a hole provided in ashaft 44. Theshaft 44 is insertedly and rotatably held by thearm 42. Thereby, by the turning in the normal and reverse directions of themotor 34, thegears louver 30 is swayed with theshafts - A
motor 37 is fixed to the case body 11 (refer toFIG. 2A ), and agear 37a is fixed to the rotating shaft of themotor 37. Thegear 37a meshes with thegear 37b fixed to the connectingshaft 35, and thegears motor 37, whereby thearms shaft 35 being a supporting point. - The connecting
shaft 35, theholders 36, and themotor 37 are fixed to the case body 11 (refer toFIG. 2A ) at a position of not being exposed to the interior of the airdischarge flow path 18. A set of twoarms 33 penetrate holes formed in the airdischarge flow path 18, and thelouver 30 is exposed to the interior of the airdischarge flow path 18. - In this
swaying mechanism 31, the connectingshaft 35 is rotated by the operation of themotor 37, and thereby thearms shaft 35 being the center. Then, thelouver 30 moves in the airdischarge flow path 18 formed so as to be continuous with the air outlet opening 17 in thecase body 11. Thereby, thelouver 30 is moved between the two positions of the wind direction control position P1 in which thelouver 30 is located in the airdischarge flow path 18 to control the direction of blown-off wind and the retraction position P2 in which thelouver 30 is located along the wall surface of the airdischarge flow path 18 to retract so as not to obstruct the blown-off wind. - Also, in the case where the
motor 34 is operated when thelouver 30 is located at the wind direction control position P1, theshafts gears louver 30 is changed. Thereby, at the wind direction control position P1, the angle of thelouver 30 with respect to the wind blow-off direction in the airdischarge flow path 18 is changed. - For the air conditioning
indoor unit 10, in the mode in which air conditioning takes preference (the normal mode), like the conventional indoor unit, thelouver 30 is located at the wind direction control position P1, and the angle thereof is changed by the rotation in the normal and reverse directions of themotor 34 to control the direction in which wind is blown off through theair outlet opening 17. - On the other hand, in the mode in which power saving takes preference (the power-saving mode), the
louver 30 is located at the retraction position P2 so that thelouver 30 does not obstruct the flow of air in the airdischarge flow path 18. Thereby, the pressure loss produced when the conditioned air passes through the airdischarge flow path 18 and blows off through theair outlet opening 17 is reduced as compared with in the mode in which air conditioning takes preference. As a result, the input to the motor for driving the fan of theblower 14 can be reduced, whereby the electric power consumption can be lowered. - The configuration can be made such that the
gears swaying mechanism 31, thelouver 30 is made enable to be swayed by themotor 34 fixedly held by thearm 33 as shown inFIG. 4 , and the connectingshaft 35 is rotationally driven directly by themotor 37 fixedly held by thearm 42. - In the above-described embodiment, a configuration of the air conditioning
indoor unit 10 has been described. However, any configuration may be adopted except the portions relating to the essential part of the present invention. - As for the mechanism for moving the
grill 20 and thefilter 21 up and down, thelouver 30, and theswaying mechanism 31 as well, any other configuration may be adopted as far as the desired function can be fulfilled. - Besides, the configurations described in the above-described embodiment can be selected or can be changed appropriately to other configurations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
