The cover panel 110 is not limited to the shape shown in FIGS. In FIGS. 1A and 1B, the width of the cover panel 110 is approximately equal to the width of the housing 104 , but the width of the cover panel 110 may be wider than the width of the housing 104 . The cover panel 110 may have a shape that partially covers the front and side surfaces of the housing 104, for example.

In the example shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the surface opposite to the surface on which the cover panel 110 is provided faces the wall. In this specification, in the air conditioner 102, the side to which the cover panel 110 is attached is sometimes referred to as the "front", and the direction in which the "front" faces is sometimes referred to as the "front". In the air conditioner 102, the surface on the opposite side of the front surface (the surface attached to the wall) is sometimes referred to as the "rear surface", and the direction in which the "rear surface" faces is sometimes referred to as the "rear surface". In the air conditioner 102, the surface between the front surface and the rear surface, which faces the ceiling, is called the “upper surface”, and the direction in which the “upper surface” faces is called the upward direction. The surface that faces the floor is called the “lower surface”, the direction that the “lower surface” faces is called the “downward”, and the surface that faces left and right between the front and back is called the “side”. The direction in which the is facing is sometimes called the "side". The terms front, front, back, rear, top, top, bottom, bottom, side, side, etc. described above may be used for the housing 104 as well.

FIG. 2 shows a mounting plate 105 used when mounting the air conditioner 102 on a wall surface. In FIG. 2, (A) shows a front view of the mounting plate 105, and (B) and (C) show side views. 2B shows the initial state, and FIG. 2C shows the state in which the height of the second member 1052 is adjusted.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the mounting plate 105 is composed of a plurality of plate-like members. The plurality of plate-like members includes first members 1051 and second members 1052 . The first member 1051 is a plate-like member and has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The second member 1052 is arranged to overlap the first surface of the first member 1051 . The second surface side of the first member 1051 is the surface facing the wall. The second member 1052 is similarly a plate-like member, and is provided so as to be superimposed on the first surface of the first member 1051 and slide. Specifically, the second member 1052 is provided so as to slide vertically while the first member 1051 is attached to the wall.

The second member 1052 is provided with a slit 1057 for sliding vertically. The slit 1057 is a vertically long through-hole, and the guide pin 1056 is inserted through this portion. A guide pin 1056 is fixed to the first member 1051 . It is preferable that such configurations of the slits 1057 and the guide pins 1056 are provided at a plurality of locations within the surfaces of the first member 1051 and the second member 1052 . By providing the vertically elongated slit 1057, it is possible to define the range in which the second member 1052 slides in the vertical direction, and prevent it from sliding in the horizontal direction.

The mounting plate 105 is provided with an adjusting portion 1053 for adjusting the position (height) of the second member 1052 with respect to the first member 1051 . The adjuster 1053 is provided at the bottom of the first member 1051 and the second member 1052 . The adjustment part 1053 is not limited as long as it is a mechanism capable of adjusting the position (height) of the second member 1052 with respect to the first member 1051 . For example, an adjusting screw 1054 may be used as the adjusting portion 1053 . For example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the adjusting portion 1053 has the lower sides of the first member 1051 and the second member 1052 bent in an L shape, and the adjusting screw 1054 is bent at the lower side of the first member at this L-shaped portion. The adjusting screw 1054 may be inserted through a screw hole, and the tip (upper end) of the adjusting screw 1054 may abut against the bearing portion 1055 formed by the L-shaped portion of the second member 1052 . Using the first member 1051 as a reference, by screwing the adjusting screw 1054, the second member 1052 moves downward from the lower end as shown in FIG. 1052 can be displaced upward.

The installation plate 105 has a structure in which the first member 1051 is fixed to the wall and the second member 1052 is engaged with the housing 104 to support the entire air conditioner 102. The height (or distance from the ceiling surface) of the air conditioner 102 can be adjusted by adjusting the screwed length by 1054 . In order to adjust the height of the air conditioner 102 while maintaining parallelism to the ceiling surface, the adjustment units 1053 are preferably provided in at least two locations in the width direction of the air conditioner 102, and may be provided in two or more locations. .

The first member 1051 is attached to the wall surface by fasteners 1059 . Although the type of fastener 1059 is not limited, for example, wood screws or tapping screws are used. A plurality of fasteners 1059 may be provided in the plane of the first member 1051 . An engaging portion 1058 that engages with the housing 104 is provided at the upper end of the second member 1052 . Although the shape of the engaging portion 1058 is not limited, for example, as shown in FIG. 2B, the engaging portion 1058 may have a structure that bends into a hook shape and supports a predetermined portion of the housing 104 from below.

As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, the mounting plate 105 for mounting the air conditioner 102 on the wall is composed of two members (first member 1051 and second member 1052), one member (the 1 member 1051) is fixed to the wall surface, the other member (second member 1052) is made slidable in the vertical direction, and the air conditioner 102 is attached to the wall surface by providing an adjustment unit 1053 for finely adjusting the sliding position. You can fine-tune the height later.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional structure of the air conditioner 102 . FIG. 3 also shows the arrangement of the members constituting the radiant air conditioner together with the air conditioner 102 by a dashed line. Specifically, a portion of a heat insulating panel 154 (a first heat insulating panel 154a and a second heat insulating panel 154b) provided on the upper portion of the air conditioner 102 and a radiation panel 156 provided facing the heat insulating panel 154 are shown.

The air conditioner 102 is provided with an air inlet 106 on the front surface of a housing 104 and an air outlet 108 on the top surface. It has a configuration in which a device such as a motor 115 that causes it to move is housed. An air filter 107 is attached to the air suction port 106 so as to prevent dust from being sucked. The heat exchanger 112 is arranged behind the air filter 107 attached to the air inlet 106 , and the cross-flow fan 114 is arranged behind the heat exchanger 112 . A heat insulating material 124 is arranged inside the housing 104 . A heat insulating material 124 is arranged to surround the heat exchanger 112 and the cross-flow fan 114 . A drain pan 116 for receiving condensed water is installed under the heat exchanger 112 , and a drain hose 118 is provided for discharging the water accumulated in the drain pan 116 . The drain pan 116 is made of a resin material and provided so as to be accommodated in the heat insulating material 124 . With such a configuration, condensation from the drain pan 116 can be prevented.

A mounting plate 105 is provided on the rear surface of the housing 104 . The installation plate 105 is arranged so that the first member 1051 contacts the wall 202 and is fixed by fasteners 1059 . The second member 1052 is provided so as to be vertically slidable with respect to the first member 1051 . An engagement portion 1058 is provided at the upper end of the second member 1052, and an engagement receiving portion 1048 of the housing 104 is attached to engage with this portion.

An adjusting portion 1053 is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate 105 . The adjusting portion 1053 is provided with an adjusting screw 1054 at the lower L-shaped bent portion of the first member 1051 . The tip of the adjusting screw 1054 is provided so as to come into contact with the L-shaped bent bearing portion 1055 on the lower side of the second member 1052 . The height of the second member 1052 is adjusted by adjusting the screwing amount of the adjusting screw 1054 . Since the engagement portion 1058 of the second member 1052 is engaged with the engagement receiving portion 1048 of the housing 104, the housing 104 moves up and down as the second member 1052 moves up and down. Specifically, when the adjusting screw 1054 is turned in the tightening direction, the second member 1052 slides upward, and the housing 104 (air conditioner 102) is displaced upward accordingly. Further, when the adjusting screw 1054 is turned in the loosening direction, the second member 1052 slides downward, and the housing 104 is also displaced downward by the weight of the air conditioner 102 accordingly. By operating the adjustment unit 1053 in this manner, the height (distance from the ceiling) of the air conditioner 102 attached to the wall 202 can be adjusted.

A heat insulating panel 154 is inserted between the air conditioner 102 and the ceiling 204 . The heat insulation panel 154 attached to the ceiling 204 may be divided into a plurality of pieces before being attached to the ceiling 204. For example, a first heat insulation panel 154a may be inserted between the air conditioner 102 and the ceiling 204. . The first heat insulating panel 154a is fitted between the air conditioner 102 and the ceiling 204 so that it can be held in a stable state while preventing positional fluctuations. Since the dimensions of the first heat insulating panel 154a are fixed, it is necessary to adjust the height of the air conditioner 102 in order to properly fit the first heat insulating panel 154a between the ceiling 204 and the ceiling 204. FIG. In this case, by adjusting the height of the air conditioner 102 with the adjusting portion 1053 provided on the mounting plate 105, the first heat insulating panel 154a can be properly fitted between the ceiling 204 and the ceiling 204. FIG.

Although the overall structure is not shown in FIG. 3, a second heat insulation panel 154b is provided ahead of the first heat insulation panel 154a, and a radiation panel 156 is provided so as to face the heat insulation panel 154. As shown in FIG. Since the height of the air conditioner 102 is finely adjusted by the adjustment unit 1053 and the first heat insulation panel 154a can be firmly attached, the positions of the heat insulation panel 154 and the radiation panel 156 are fixed so that there is no distortion or inclination. It becomes possible to assemble a radiant air conditioner.

A cover panel 110 is attached to the housing 104 to cover the air inlet 106 . The fasteners 120 for attaching the cover panel 110 to the housing 104 are preferably provided on the rear surface of the cover panel 110 so as not to appear on the outside. Although the configuration of the fastener 120 is not limited, for example, the hook mechanism 1201 may be used as the upper fastener 120 of the cover panel 110 and the push latch mechanism 1202 may be used as the lower fastener 120 . A hook mechanism 1201 has a configuration in which a hook provided on the back surface of the cover panel 110 is hooked to a pin provided on the housing 104. It has a configuration that fits into a latch receiver provided at 104 . By using such a fastener 120 (hook mechanism 1201 and push latch mechanism 1202), the cover panel 110 can be detachably attached to the housing 104. FIG. A magnet, a screw, or the like may be used as the fastener 120 , and the cover panel 110 may be detachably attached to the housing 104 by these fasteners 120 .

The cover panel 110 is a plate-shaped member, the lower side of which is attached close to or in contact with the housing 104 and the upper side of which is attached so as to fall forward of the housing 104 . Due to such arrangement of the cover panel 110 , a gap is formed between the cover panel 110 and the housing 104 , and this gap forms a flow path 128 for introducing air to the air suction port 106 . Also, an opening 126 through which air flows is formed by the upper end of the cover panel 110 .

Conventional domestic and some commercial air conditioners blow cool or warm air to regulate room temperature. On the other hand, the air conditioner 102 according to the present embodiment does not require a large air volume as long as the temperature can be controlled by flowing air between the heat insulation panel 154 and the radiation panel 156 . Therefore, even when the air flow path 128 is formed between the cover panel 110 and the housing 104, there is no problem even if the flow path is relatively narrow. A suitable distance between the cover panel 110 and the housing 104 can be 10 mm or more and 300 mm or less, for example, 20 mm or more and 300 mm or less, preferably 40 mm or more and 300 mm or less. For example, it is preferable that the cover panel 110 is spaced apart from the housing 104 at the opening 126 by about 20 mm to 40 mm. If the distance between the cover panel 110 and the housing 104 is smaller than the above range, the air conditioner 102 will be overloaded and the number of revolutions will have to be increased in order to blow out a predetermined amount of air to the radiant panel. On the other hand, if the distance between the cover panel 110 and the housing 104 is excessively widened beyond the above range, the cover panel 110 only becomes larger and does not contribute to the performance improvement, which is not preferable. By arranging the cover panel 110 with respect to the housing 104 at the intervals as described above, the flow path 128 for the air flowing to the air suction port 106 is formed and the air suction port 106 is hidden from the outside, thereby giving a sense of discomfort to the viewer. can be avoided.

A first heat insulating material 124a and a second heat insulating material 124b are provided inside the housing 104, and an air flow is provided inside the housing 104 so that the air sucked from the front surface of the housing 104 is blown out from the top surface. A path is formed. By providing the cover panel 110 , an introduction portion (opening portion 126 ) for air flowing into the air suction port 106 is provided relatively close to the upper surface of the housing 104 . For this reason, conventional air conditioners for home and some business use have a problem of short-circuiting of air circulation, in which the air blown from the blower port 108 flows into the opening 126 . However, as shown in FIG. 3, an air flow path sandwiched between the heat insulation panel 154 and the radiation panel 156 is formed at the tip of the air outlet 108, thereby preventing excessive short-circuiting of air circulation. have a configuration.

In the radiant air conditioner, the radiant panel 156 converts heat energy from cooled or warmed air blown from the air conditioner 102 into infrared rays. The opening 126 formed by the cover panel 110 faces and is adjacent to the radiation panel 156 . Room air may flow into the air inlet 106 through the vicinity of the cooled or heated radiant panel 156 , thereby cooling or warming the air entering the air inlet 106 . Additionally, the portion of the cover panel 110 and housing 104 facing the radiant panel 156 is cooled or warmed by the action of the radiant panel 156, thereby cooling or warming the air entering the air inlet 106 through the opening 126. can be done. In addition, since the heat insulating panel 154 (first heat insulating panel 154a) attached on the air outlet 108 can be attached without a gap between the housing 104 and the ceiling 204, the cooled air blown out from the air outlet 108 Air or warmed air can be prevented from leaking to the outside, and the above effects can be further enhanced. As a result, compared to the case where the capacity of the heat exchanger 112 is constant, the temperature of the air blown out from the blower port 108 can be lower during the cooling operation and higher during the heating operation.

As described above, the air conditioner 102 according to the present embodiment is provided with an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height of the mounting plate 105, so that the height of the air conditioner 102 can be finely adjusted according to the heat insulating panel 154 attached to the ceiling 204. It can be adjusted and facilitates the installation work of the radiant air conditioner.

Such a radiation panel 156 is detachably attached to the fixture 152 by means of attachment members 158 (first attachment member 158a, second attachment member 158b).

Between the side wall portions provided on the first heat insulating panel 154 a , the second heat insulating panel 154 b , and the third heat insulating panel 154 c and the radiation panel 156 , flow paths for the air blown from the air outlet 108 are formed. The air that has flowed between the side walls of the first heat insulating panel 154a, the second heat insulating panel 154b, and the third heat insulating panel 154c and the radiating panel 156 flows out to the front of the third heat insulating panel 154c. The radiant air conditioner 100 converts the thermal energy of the air into infrared rays by the radiant panel 156 by causing the cooled or warmed air blown from the air conditioner 102 to flow through this flow path, and the effect of the infrared rays An object or living body placed under the radiant panel 156 is directly cooled or heated. The radiant air conditioner 100 does not directly adjust the room temperature only with cooled or warmed air, but also directly cools and heats the object by the action of the radiant panel 156, so that the air is blown from the air conditioner 102. A sufficient air-conditioning effect can be exhibited even if the air volume is small.

As shown in FIG. 4, the radiation panel 156 is arranged so as to at least partially overlap the cover panel 110 in plan view. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, the opening 126 formed by the cover panel 110 is provided relatively close to the radiation panel 156 .
