Providing air-permeable partition plates (38) that are parallel to each other,
Between (38), the air purifying material (39) containing only charcoal or containing charcoal as a main material and containing a known deodorizing material, a hygroscopic material and the like.

The partition plate (38) is preferably formed by a punching plate, a porous plate, a rope, or the like having a number of small holes (38a).

The outer shape and dimensions of the closed box (35) are preferably the same as those of the case (21a) of the air conditioner body (21).

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the outside air intake pipe (2
The air purifying device (32) installed in the middle of (4) should remove the blocking material (37) at the right end of the closed box (35), and connect the outside air intake pipe (24) communicating therewith instead. As a result, the through hole (36) at the rear end on the right end is used as the inlet hole (41), and the closing member (37) at the front left end of the closed box (35) is removed, and instead the entire air conditioner (2
By connecting the outside air intake pipe (24) connected to the intake hole (21a) of 1), the through hole (36) at the front left end is used as the outlet hole (42).

By arranging the inlet hole (41) and the outlet hole (42) near different front and rear side ends of both ends of the closed box (35) in this way, air can be removed from the closed box (35). It can flow uniformly and efficiently through the inside.

As shown in FIG. 2, an air purification device (32) provided in the middle of the duct (22) is provided with a through hole at the front right end of the closed box (35).
(36) is connected to a duct (22) connected to the air inlet (21a) of the air conditioner body (21), so that the through hole (3
6) is an outlet hole (not shown), and the duct (22) connected to the chamber (26) is connected to the through hole (36) at the rear left end of the closed box (35), so that the front left The hole (36) is an inlet hole (not shown). In FIG. 1, (43), (44) and (45) are dampers provided on the ducts (22) and (23) and the outside air intake pipe (24).

When the dampers (43), (44) and (45) are all opened, the outside air intake pipe (24) and the ducts (22) and (23) are ventilated, and the air conditioner main body (21) is operated, the ceiling above Air in the space (14) is sucked into the air conditioner body (21) through the branch pipe (25), the chamber (26) and the duct (22), and the outside air intake pipe (24), where the air is purified. While being purified by the filter (17), the temperature is adjusted to the set desired temperature by the cooling / heating means (20), and the duct (23), the chamber (26) and the branch pipe (2
From 5), the liquid is uniformly discharged into the underfloor space (12).

The conditioned air discharged into the underfloor space (12)
After passing through the inner ventilation layer (7) and the ventilation layer (7a), it passes through the gap space (16) to reach the space above the ceiling (14), during which each room (1) (2)
(3) is heated or cooled from the outside and circulated again from the duct (22) to the air conditioner main body (21). The circulation of the air-conditioned air prevents house decay and increases durability.

The conditioned air circulating in the house and reaching the space above the ceiling (14) passes through the air purification device (32) in the middle of the duct (22), thereby circulating in the house. The odor and moisture absorbed in the air are adsorbed and purified by the charcoal, especially the activated carbon therein, and return to the air inlet (21a) of the air conditioner body (21).

When the outdoor air passes through the air purification device (32) provided in the middle of the outdoor air intake pipe (24), the odor and moisture are removed and the air is purified and air-conditioned as described above. The air is supplied to the air inlet (21a) of the apparatus body (21).

When the air purifying device (32) has been used for a long period of time and the air purifying device (39), particularly the odor-absorbing action and the moisture-absorbing action of the activated carbon therein, have been reduced, the damper (43) shown in FIG. The other dampers (44) and (45) are opened, a heating means such as a heater is operated, and the fan (18) is reversed. Then, warm air or hot air flows back from the air conditioner main body (21) in the air purification device (32), and the hot air or hot air activates the charcoal component in the air purification material (39) to reuse the air. Becomes possible.

Open the dampers (43) and (43), and
5) is closed, and hot air or hot air is returned from the air conditioner body (21) to the air purification device (32) in the middle of the duct (22) in the same manner as described above, so that the air purification device (32) is Activate and regenerate the components of charcoal. Also, open and close the lid (3
You can also open 4) and replace charcoal and other air purifying materials with new ones. If necessary, a suitable baffle plate (not shown) is provided in the closed box (35) to lengthen the air flow path from the inlet hole (41) to the outlet hole (42), and The contact efficiency with the air purification material may be increased. In activating the air purifier, instead of reversing the fan (18), the flow path is switched by switching means (not shown) for switching the flow path, and the hot air or hot air is removed by the air purifier (32). It may be made to flow backward.

[0031]

According to the invention described in claim 1, the air taken into the air conditioner can be effectively purified by deodorizing, absorbing moisture, etc. by the simple means of storing charcoal in the closed box. it can.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the accommodating portion of the charcoal is partitioned away from the inlet hole and the outlet hole, so that the charcoal powder and the like can be prevented from flowing into the inlet hole or the outlet hole. .

According to the third aspect of the present invention, the air flow path in the closed box can be lengthened.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the case of the air conditioner main body can be used as it is, there is no need to manufacture a closed box dedicated to the air purification device, which is convenient for handling.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the inlet hole and the outlet hole can be selected according to the conditions of the duct, the outside air intake pipe, and the like to be connected.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the hot air or hot air from the air conditioner is used to flow back to the air purifying device, thereby activating the charcoal component in the air purifying material and reusing it. It can be.
