When the ion generation part 62 is used for the air conditioner 100, the air conditioner 100 functions as an ion generator. The air taken into the main body case 10 is discharged to the outside of the main body case 10 through the air outlet 7 in a state where ions are added.

(Mounting state detection unit 40 / control unit 50)
The placement state detection unit 40 and the control unit 50 are provided inside the main body case 10. As shown in FIG. 7, the mounting state detection unit 40 and the control unit 50 are disposed, for example, between the flow path forming member 61 and the case member 13. The placement state detection unit 40 is, for example, a gyro sensor. The placement state detection unit 40 detects in what state (posture) the main body case 10 is placed on the placement surface. Information detected by the mounting state detection unit 40 is sent to the control unit 50. Further detailed operations of the mounting state detection unit 40 and the control unit 50 will be described later.

(First mounting state)
Referring to FIG. 8, as air conditioner 100, main body case 10 can be placed on placement surface 70 such that case member 11 and placement surface 70 face each other. In this case, the air conditioner 100 forms the first placement state S1.

  When the air conditioner 100 forms the first placement state S1, air is mainly sucked into the main body case 10 through the filter 30 from the suction port 2 and the suction port 3 (see arrows AR2 and AR3). In other words, even if the main body case 10 is placed on the placement surface 70 so that the suction port 1 faces the placement surface 70, the air conditioner 100 passes through the suction port 2 and the suction port 3. Air can be sucked into the body case 10.

  In the air conditioner 100, a gap is formed between the case member 11 and the mounting surface 70 by the protrusions 11 </ b> T (see FIGS. 3 and 5) provided on the surface of the case member 11. Air outside the main body case 10 can be sucked into the main body case 10 from the suction port 1 through this gap (see arrow AR1).

  The air sucked into the main body case 10 passes through the filter 30. The air is taken into a multiblade fan 60 (sirocco fan) disposed so as to face the filter 30, and flows along the flow path forming member 61 to the outlet 7 side.

  The air from the multiblade fan 60 is guided in a predetermined direction by the louver 21 and the louver 22 and blown out from the blowout port 7 to the outside of the main body case 10 (see arrow AR7). As described above, the ion generation unit 62 (see FIG. 7) may be provided in the middle of the air flow path formed by the flow path forming member 61. In this case, the air conditioner 100 functions as an ion generator.

(Second mounting state)
Referring to FIG. 9, as air conditioner 100, main body case 10 can be placed on placement surface 70 such that case member 15 and placement surface 70 face each other. In this case, the air conditioner 100 forms the second placement state S2A. The same applies to the case where the main body case 10 is placed on the placement surface 70 so that the case member 16 and the placement surface 70 face each other.

  When the air conditioner 100 forms the second placement state S2A, air is sucked into the main body case 10 from the suction ports 1 to 3 through the filter 30 (see arrows AR1, arrow AR2, and arrow AR3). The air sucked into the main body case 10 is blown out from the air outlet 7 to the outside of the main body case 10 as in the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8) (see the arrow AR7).

(Other second mounting state)
Referring to FIG. 10, as air conditioner 100, main body case 10 can be placed on placement surface 70 such that case member 13 and placement surface 70 face each other. In this case, the air conditioner 100 forms another second placement state S2B. The same applies to the case where the main body case 10 is placed on the placement surface 70 so that the case member 12 and the placement surface 70 face each other.

  When the air conditioner 100 forms the second mounting state S2B, air is mainly sucked into the main body case 10 through the filter 30 from the suction ports 1 and 2 (see arrows AR1 and AR2). In other words, even when the main body case 10 is placed on the placement surface 70 so that the suction port 3 faces the placement surface 70, the air conditioner 100 passes through the suction port 1 and the suction port 2. Air can be sucked into the body case 10.

  In the air conditioner 100, a portion near the case member 13 on the periphery of the case members 15 and 16 is formed in a concave shape as shown in FIG. 10, so that a gap is formed between the case member 13 and the placement surface 70. It is formed. Air outside the main body case 10 can be sucked into the main body case 10 from the suction port 3 through the gap (see arrow AR3).

  The air sucked into the main body case 10 passes through the air outlet 7 to the outside of the main body case 10 as in the first mounting state S1 (see FIG. 8) and the second mounting state S2A (see FIG. 9). (See arrow AR7).

(Control block of air conditioner 100)
The control block of the air conditioner 100 will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, the placement state detection unit 40 detects in what state (posture) the main body case 10 is placed on the placement surface. Specifically, the air conditioner 100 is turned on by operating the power switch 5. The mounting state detection unit 40 is configured such that the air conditioner 100 forms the first mounting state S1 (see FIG. 8), the air conditioner 100 is in the second mounting state S2A (see FIG. 9), or air. Each of the conditioners 100 detects whether or not the second mounting state S2B (see FIG. 10) is formed.

  The control unit 50 receives information detected by the placement state detection unit 40. After receiving the information from the mounting state detection unit 40, the control unit 50 controls both the multiblade fan 60 and the ion generation unit 62. The control unit 50 controls a motor and the like for driving the multiblade fan 60 according to the information detected by the placement state detection unit 40. As a result of the control by the control unit 50, the rotational speed of the multiblade fan 60 changes and the air volume of the air blown from the outlet 7 also changes.

  In the air conditioner 100 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 50 causes the placement state detection unit 40 to perform the second placement more than when the placement state detection unit 40 detects the first placement state S1. When the states S2A and S2B are detected, the multiblade fan 60 is controlled so that the amount of air blown from the blowout port 7 is reduced.

  For example, when the air conditioner 100 is in the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8), the multiblade fan 60 is driven to rotate at 1000 rpm. When the air conditioner 100 is in the second placement state S2A, S2B (see FIGS. 9 and 10), the multiblade fan 60 is rotationally driven at 600 rpm. The amount of air blown from the air outlet 7 is such that when the air conditioner 100 is in the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8), the air conditioner 100 is in the second placement state S2A, S2B ( 9 and FIG. 10).

  It is assumed that the air conditioner 100 is placed in a living room or a bedroom so that the air conditioner 100 forms the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8). In this case, the air taken into the air conditioner 100 is blown out from the outlet 7 with a relatively large air volume and a high wind speed upward with ions added thereto. The air to which ions are added circulates so as to spread throughout the room. The air containing ions can reach the entire room.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the air conditioner 100 is placed on a desk or the like so that the air conditioner 100 forms the second placement states S2A and S2B (see FIGS. 9 and 10). In this case, the air taken into the air conditioner 100 may be blown directly toward the user in a state where ions are added. It is possible to suppress the user from feeling uncomfortable by blowing the air to which ions are added from the outlet 7 with a relatively small air volume and a slow air speed.

  Even when the air conditioner 100 is placed near the user, noise or vibration generated from the air conditioner 100 is reduced, so that the user can be prevented from feeling uncomfortable. Therefore, according to the air conditioner 100, the operation according to the mounting state is automatically selected by the mounting state detection unit 40 and the control unit 50, so that convenience in use can be improved. .

  Moreover, when the air conditioner 100 is mounted so that the air conditioner 100 forms the second mounting states S2A and S2B (see FIGS. 9 and 10), only in a specific area in front of the air outlet 7. Since air containing ions only needs to be released, a sufficient amount of ions can be released even when the multiblade fan 60 is rotationally driven at 600 rpm.

  Furthermore, after receiving the information from the mounting state detection unit 40, the control unit 50 in the present embodiment also controls an applied voltage for driving the ion generation unit 62. The ion generator 62 is a device that emits ions from the tip of the discharge needle when a pulsed high voltage is applied to the discharge needle. The amount of ions emitted changes by increasing or decreasing the voltage applied to the discharge needle or increasing or decreasing the number of pulses of the voltage applied to the discharge needle. By the control by the control unit 50, the amount of ions added from the ion generation unit 62 to the air blown out through the blowout port 7 changes.

  In the air conditioner 100 according to the present embodiment, the control unit 50 is configured such that the placement state detection unit 40 performs the second placement when the placement state detection unit 40 detects the first placement state S1. The ion generator 62 is controlled so that the amount of ions added to the air blown out from the blowout port 7 is larger than when the installation states S2A and S2B are detected. The amount of ions contained in the air blown out from the air outlet 7 is such that when the air conditioner 100 is in the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8), the air conditioner 100 is second. More than the case where the installation states S2A and S2B (see FIGS. 9 and 10) are formed.

  The necessary amount of ions contained in the air blown out from the air outlet 7 is such that the air conditioner 100 is more effective when the air conditioner 100 forms the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8). It is more than the case where 2nd mounting state S2A, S2B (refer FIG. 9, FIG. 10) is formed. By optimizing the voltage applied to the ion generator 62 according to the mounting state, the power consumption in the ion generator 62 is suppressed, and the power consumption of the air conditioner 100 as a whole can be reduced. Become.

  Referring to FIG. 12, air conditioner 100 may be configured to be able to switch the air volume in, for example, three stages of “weak”, “medium”, and “strong”. In this case, a switch for switching the air volume is provided, for example, in the vicinity of the power switch 5 (see FIG. 1 and the like). Assume that the air volume is set, for example, to “strong” by the air volume switch. Even in this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the air conditioner 100 is in the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8) or the air conditioner 100 is in the second placement state S2A, S2B. The air volume is controlled so as to change depending on whether or not (see FIGS. 9 and 10) is formed. Convenience in use can be further improved.

  Referring to FIG. 13, in air conditioner 100 described above, control unit 50 that receives information from placement state detection unit 40 controls both multiblade fan 60 and ion generation unit 62. The air conditioner 100 may be configured to control only the multiblade fan 60. Also with this configuration, the air conditioner 100 can blow out air having an optimal air volume and speed according to the mounting state.

  Referring to FIGS. 14 and 15, in the air conditioner 100 described above, a gyro sensor is provided as the placement state detection unit 40. As the placement state detection unit, a placement state detection unit 40A (magnetic proximity switch) as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 may be used in addition to the gyro sensor.

  FIG. 14 is a front view showing the placement state detection unit 40A. FIG. 15 is a side view showing the placement state detection unit 40A. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, the mounting state detection unit 40 </ b> A includes a mounting plate 41, a fixing unit 42, a rotating unit 43, a magnet 43 </ b> T, a hall element 44 </ b> T, and a substrate 44.

  The fixing portion 42 is attached to the attachment plate 41. The rotating portion 43 and the magnet 43T provided at the tip of the rotating portion 43 can swing in the direction of the arrow AR43 (see FIG. 14) about the fixed portion 42. The substrate 44 is also attached to the attachment plate 41. The hall element 44T provided on the surface of the substrate 44 is disposed so as to face the magnet 43T.

  It is assumed that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form, for example, the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8). In this case, the Hall element 44T outputs a High (or Low) signal. This signal is detected by the microcomputer on the substrate 44. The placement state detection unit 40A can detect that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form the first placement state S1.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form, for example, the second placement state S2A (see FIG. 9) or the second placement state S2B (see FIG. 10). In this case, the rotating part 43 rotates, so that the magnet 43T is separated from the Hall element 44T. The Hall element 44T outputs a Low (or High) signal. This signal is also detected by the microcomputer on the substrate 44. 40 A of mounting state detection parts detect that the air conditioner 100 is mounted so that 2nd mounting state S2A (refer FIG. 9) or 2nd mounting state S2B (refer FIG. 10) may be formed. It becomes possible. Even when a reed switch is used as the Hall element 44T, the same operation and effect as described above can be obtained.

  With reference to FIG. 16 and FIG. 17, a placement state detection unit 40 </ b> B may be used as the placement state detection unit. The placement state detection unit 40B is a so-called earthquake-resistant switch, vibration sensor, or fall sensor.

  FIG. 16 is a first front view showing the placement state detection unit 40B (the air conditioner 100 forms, for example, the first placement state S1). FIG. 17 is a second front view showing the placement state detection unit 40B (the air conditioner 100 forms, for example, second placement states S2A and S2B). As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the placement state detection unit 40 </ b> B includes a hard sphere 45, a rolling surface 46, a rod 47, and a substrate 48.

  The hard sphere 45 can freely roll on the surface of the rolling surface 46. The rod 47 is disposed so as to pass through an opening 46H provided in the rolling surface 46, and is urged in a direction away from the substrate 48 by urging means (not shown).

  It is assumed that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form, for example, the first placement state S1 (see FIG. 8). In this case, the hard sphere 45 pushes down the rod 47 toward the substrate 48. A contact 47T provided at the lower end of the rod 47 and a contact 48T provided on the surface of the substrate 48 are connected. This state is detected by the microcomputer on the board 48. The placement state detection unit 40B can detect that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form the first placement state S1.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form, for example, the second placement state S2A (see FIG. 9) or the second placement state S2B (see FIG. 10). In this case, the hard sphere 45 moves along the surface of the rolling surface 46 (see arrow AR45). The rod 47 is released from being pressed by the hard sphere 45, and the rod 47 moves in the direction of the arrow AR47. The contact 47T and the contact 48T are separated from each other. This state is also detected by the microcomputer on the board 48. The placement state detection unit 40B detects that the air conditioner 100 is placed so as to form the second placement state S2A (see FIG. 9) or the second placement state S2B (see FIG. 10). It becomes possible.

  Therefore, instead of the placement state detection unit 40 (see FIG. 7 and the like), the placement state detection unit 40A (see FIGS. 14 and 15) or the placement state detection unit 40B (see FIGS. 16 and 17) is replaced with an air conditioner. Even if it is used for 100, the operation | movement according to a mounting state is selected automatically by the control part 50, and it becomes possible to improve the convenience on use.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment based on this invention was described, embodiment disclosed this time is an illustration and restrictive at no points. The technical scope of the present invention is defined by the terms of the claims, and is intended to include any modifications within the scope and meaning equivalent to the terms of the claims.
