Description

本発明に係る空気調和機は、吸込口と吹出口が設けられた室内機の本体内に、吸込口から吸込まれた空気を吹出口に導く通風路と、この通風路中に配置された室内熱交換器及び送風機と、吹出口に設けられ吹出し空気の風向を上下方向で変更する上下風向ルーバーと、を備えた空気調和機において、上下風向ルーバーは、側面視で上方に突出する弧状又は山形に形成されているものである。 An air conditioner according to the present invention includes an air passage that guides air sucked from the air inlet to the air outlet in the main body of the indoor unit provided with the air inlet and the air outlet, and a room that is disposed in the air passage. In an air conditioner including a heat exchanger and a blower, and an up-and-down air direction louver that is provided at the air outlet and changes the air direction of the blown air in the up-and-down direction, the up-and-down air direction louver is an arc shape or a mountain shape that protrudes upward in a side view Is formed.

本発明の空気調和機によれば、上下風向ルーバーが側面視で上方に突出する弧状又は山形に形成されているので、上下風向ルーバーにより制御される吹出し空気の風向が下向きとなり、空調空気の到達距離を延ばすことができ、空調空気の到達特性を向上させることができる。 According to the air conditioner of the present invention, since the vertical wind direction louver is formed in an arc shape or a mountain shape that protrudes upward in a side view, the direction of the blown air controlled by the vertical wind direction louver is downward, and the arrival of conditioned air A distance can be extended and the arrival characteristic of conditioned air can be improved.

実施形態１．
図１は実施形態１に係る空気調和機の運転停止時の外観を示す斜視図である。図２は実施形態１に係る空気調和機の運転時の外観を示す斜視図である。図３は実施形態１に係る空気調和機の運転停止時の状態を示す側面視の断面図である。
実施形態１の空気調和機は、図１乃至図３のように室内機１００が、通常、部屋の壁に取り付けられる。室内機１００は、室外機（図示せず）に冷媒管や電気配線などによって接続されている。そして、運転時には、図２のように吹出口１１に設けられた上下風向ルーバー８にて、吹出し空気の風向が上下方向で制御される（図２）。また、運転停止時には、吹出口１１がシャッター１２にて覆われて閉塞され、上下風向ルーバー８が隠蔽される（図１、図３）。 Embodiment 1. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 when operation is stopped. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 during operation. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in side view showing a state when the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 is stopped.
The air conditioner implementation Form 1, the indoor unit 100 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 is typically attached to a wall of a room. The indoor unit 100 is connected to an outdoor unit (not shown) by a refrigerant pipe, electrical wiring, or the like. During operation, the wind direction of the blown air is controlled in the vertical direction by the vertical wind direction louver 8 provided at the outlet 11 as shown in FIG. 2 (FIG. 2). Further, when the operation is stopped, the air outlet 11 is covered and closed by the shutter 12, and the up and down wind direction louver 8 is concealed (FIGS. 1 and 3).

これを更に詳述すると、室内機１００は、図３のように前面パネル２、後本体部３、及びノーズ４を有する本体１内に、室内熱交換器５、送風機６、左右風向ルーバー７、上下風向ルーバー８を備えている。上下風向ルーバー８は、側面視で上方に突出する弧状又は山形状に形成されており、図示しないルーバー駆動用のステッピングモーターによって上下方向に揺動されるように制御され、これにより吹出口１１から送り出される空気流の方向が上下に変更される。 More specifically, the indoor unit 100 includes an indoor heat exchanger 5, a blower 6, left and right wind direction louvers 7 in a main body 1 having a front panel 2, a rear main body 3, and a nose 4 as shown in FIG. 3. A vertical wind direction louver 8 is provided. The up-and-down wind direction louver 8 is formed in an arc shape or a mountain shape protruding upward in a side view, and is controlled to be swung up and down by a stepping motor for driving a louver (not shown). The direction of the air flow sent out is changed up and down.

次に、実施形態１に係る空気調和機の動作について図６乃至図８に基づき、図１乃至図５を参照しながら説明する。まず、運転が開始されると、ローラー駆動用のステッピングモーターによって一対の駆動用ローラー１３が駆動され、図８のように吹出口１１を覆っていたシャッター１２が移動を開始し、開口部１４が吹出口１１の位置にくると、移動が停止される。これにより、図６のように吹出口１１が開放され、隠蔽されていた上下風向ルーバー８が露出する。
次いで、送風機６が回転し、前部吸込口９及び上部吸込口１０から室内空気が吸込まれる。吸込まれた室内空気は、室内熱交換器５を通ることで、室内熱交換器５内を流れる冷媒との間で熱交換され、その後、左右風向ルーバー７及び上下風向ルーバー８の周囲を通って、図７のように吹出口１１から室内に送り出される。このとき、上下風向ルーバー８は図示しないルーバー駆動用のステッピングモーターによって上下方向に揺動されるように制御され、これにより空気調和機の吹出口１１から送り出される空気流の方向が上下に変更され、暖房運転時には下向きとなる。
このとき、上下風向ルーバー８は、側面視で上方に突出する弧状又は山形の形状を有しているので、上下風向ルーバー８により制御される吹出し空気の風向を、従来よりも下向きとすることが可能となる。特に、暖房運転時には、下向きの温風到達距離を延ばすことができ、温風到達特性を向上させることができる。 Next, the operation of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5 based on FIGS. First, when the operation is started, the pair of driving rollers 13 is driven by the stepping motor for driving the roller, and the shutter 12 covering the outlet 11 as shown in FIG. When it comes to the position of the air outlet 11, the movement is stopped. Thereby, the blower outlet 11 is open | released like FIG. 6, and the up-and-down wind direction louver 8 which was concealed is exposed.
Next, the blower 6 rotates and room air is sucked from the front suction port 9 and the upper suction port 10. The sucked indoor air passes through the indoor heat exchanger 5 to exchange heat with the refrigerant flowing in the indoor heat exchanger 5, and then passes around the left and right wind direction louvers 7 and the up and down wind direction louvers 8. As shown in FIG. 7, the air is sent out from the air outlet 11 into the room. At this time, the vertical wind direction louver 8 is controlled to be swung in the vertical direction by a stepping motor for driving the louver (not shown), thereby changing the direction of the air flow sent out from the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner up and down. In the heating operation, it becomes downward.
At this time, since the up-and-down air direction louver 8 has an arc shape or a mountain shape that protrudes upward in a side view, the air direction of the blown air controlled by the up-and-down air direction louver 8 may be lower than before. It becomes possible. In particular, during the heating operation, the downward hot air arrival distance can be extended, and the hot air arrival characteristics can be improved.
