BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device to be installed in an existing air conditioner or to be installed in advance in an air conditioner, and more specifically, there is no difference in temperature between the upper, lower, left and right of an indoor space when hot or cold air is blown. The present invention relates to a room temperature adjusting device for an air conditioner that can provide an indoor environment that is comfortable to the body and that does not deteriorate the physical condition. or,
Applicant has already invented a uniform wind velocity method and its apparatus (Japanese Patent No. 2816577, US Pat. No. 5,101,847).
No.) is applied to a room temperature adjusting device for an air conditioner that can create a more comfortable indoor space.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional air conditioners have functions such as cooling, heating, and dehumidification. The air volume can be set to various types such as automatic, strong wind, weak wind, and light wind, and the wind direction can be set to automatic, swing, or arbitrary. You can set the wind direction such as angle. Therefore, for example, when it is desired to cool the room to 20 degrees, the air conditioner is operated and the temperature is set to 20 degrees, and the air volume and the wind direction are automatically set so that the cool air can be delivered to the room from the ventilation port It is just exhaled and operates so that the room temperature approaches 20 degrees. As described above, the air conditioner is very useful not only for cooling but also for heating, dehumidifying and the like as an air conditioning equipment, and is widely used in homes and offices.

[0003]

However, the problem with the conventional air conditioner is that the temperature difference in the entire upper, lower, left and right of the indoor space is very high, and the feet are cooled too much during cooling, so that the knees, cold socks, etc. In many cases, it is difficult to say that it is excellent in cooling and heating effects, because it often does not warm the feet and uses a small electric stove separately when heating. As a method of reducing the temperature difference between the upper and lower sides, a swing method in the wind direction, a scroll method, and the like are performed.However, since it is a method of blowing warm air and cold air at a certain speed, some kind of convection phenomenon occurs in the indoor space. The warm air immediately rises to the upper part, and the cool air descends to the lower part, which does not eliminate the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts. Another problem with conventional air conditioners is that the air blow often hits the human body directly, and even if it is not hit directly, the cold air or warm air can be directly felt by the skin. Many people feel it and feel it is too warm or too cold,
It is also true that there are many people who actually get sick or get sick, and many people are not good at air conditioning. Basically, the air blower of the air conditioner has a horizontally long and narrow rectangular shape.Strictly speaking, the air blow is sent from the air blower in a state that there are variations in seconds. It must be said that it is extremely difficult to take measures to control it.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to eliminate a temperature difference applied to the entire room such as up, down, left and right of an indoor space, and to create an environment that is sensationally comfortable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a room temperature adjusting device for an air conditioner which is extremely epoch-making and can be provided as a heating and cooling device having good usability and excellent usability.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a wearable room temperature adjusting device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a partial transverse sectional view of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a partial vertical sectional view of the present invention.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes an apparatus main body, which controls blown air with a large variation from a blower outlet B of an air conditioner A, suppresses the blower speed as much as possible and directly blows cold or warm air to a person. We devised that the heat of cold air or warm air is gradually transmitted to the indoor space by weakening it, eliminating the temperature difference in the entire indoor space such as up, down, left and right of the indoor space, and obtaining an optimal environment for sensible temperature. It is configured as described above. The apparatus main body 1 is basically composed of a casing portion 2, a blower portion 3 and a slider 6, and is set in a state where the blower air from the air conditioner A is not directly blown into the room but is temporarily stored in the casing portion 2. The means for compressing this by the slider 6 and sequentially blowing the air from the air blower 3 is taken to eliminate the bad influence of the conventional air conditioner.

As described above, the casing portion 2 serves as a so-called tank for temporarily storing cold or warm air blown from the air outlet B of the air conditioner A in the casing portion 2 without directly putting it in the room. It is a thing. Of course, because it is a blast, it cannot be stored as it is, and it flows out from the blast unit 3 at any time, but it is temporarily stored in order to change the characteristics of the blast, that is, to improve the flow, wind pressure, air volume, and speed. It has the implication. Strictly speaking, the air blown from the air blower B of the air conditioner A is extremely unstable, that is, the air volume and the wind speed at each point of the air blower B (for example, both end points and the central point) are different, and even at the same point, It constantly changes every second. This is due to the air blowing means of the air conditioner itself and the shape of the air blowing port.Unless this is done, the wind strength may vary, the room temperature may fluctuate, and sufficient room temperature control cannot be performed. Can be said. Therefore, according to the present invention, first, the casing portion 2 is provided in order to appropriately control the amount and speed of the blown air, and the air is temporarily stopped in the casing portion 2 to blow air from the blower portion 3 as needed.

The structure of the casing portion 2 has a certain degree of airtightness so as to accommodate the pressure increasing means described later.
The air conditioner A has a shape to be attached to the lower part of the air conditioner A, an air intake window 2a with a check valve is bored on the right side, and a slider 6 for compressing air is internally provided inside. The mounting means of the casing portion 2 may be mounted and fixed on the air conditioner A side or on the wall surface side, and the method is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the wearable room temperature adjuster is exemplified, but the room temperature adjuster integrated with the air conditioner may be installed in advance in the air conditioner. Although the device of the present invention depends on the performance of the air conditioner itself, it is also effective to have a structure in which the device main body 1 can be separated from the air conditioner air vent part by one touch and the air vent port is exposed to blow air directly into the room. is there.

The air blower 3 is a wind blower provided on the front surface of the casing 2 (may be the upper and lower surfaces or the side surface), and is the base of each upper blow pipe 4 and bottom blow pipe 5. The structure is such that air enters from the end and air is blown out toward the room from the outlet at the tip. The blower unit 3 has two major purposes: one is to reduce the temperature difference between the upper and lower parts of the room to keep the feet comfortable at room temperature, and the other one is unpleasant skin caused by the air blown by the air conditioner. It is to eliminate the feeling of touch and discomfort and to create an air-conditioning state that is excellent in terms of sensation, and various measures have been taken for that purpose. That is, all of the blowout portions have a circular cross section, and the air in the casing portion 2 can be constantly blown out into the room in a uniform state without variation. The eight upper blow-out pipes 4 are the places where the cool air or the warm air is blown out from the upper part, but the wind speed is suppressed by resistance etc. by passing through the inside of the pipes, and there is no strong wind hit, but the slider 6 sufficiently cools the air. The warm air is transferred to the air to bring the room to the desired room temperature. The bottom blow-out pipe 5 is a place for blowing cold or warm air to the middle layer and the bottom layer of the room. By blowing from the lower part as well as the upper part, the feet can be kept at a comfortable room temperature, and the temperature of the indoor space can be reduced. The air conditioner can be set so that there is no difference from the beginning, and air conditioning can be performed in a natural state without blowing out a large amount of air flow unlike the conventional air conditioner, and the air conditioning is pleasant and comfortable. Will be able to provide. The number of blow-out pipes 4 and 5 of the blower unit 3 is not specified.

The slider 6 slides left and right in the casing 2 to compress the air in the casing 2, and the slider 6 takes the air into the slider 6 to increase the pressure and blow it out sequentially from the blow-out pipe in the central portion. Is a pressure increasing device for moving the slider 6 to move the rod 6a.
Although one end of the reciprocating slider crank mechanism is connected to a rotary link (not shown), it may be configured to slide by another mechanism. The slider 6 has a ventilation window 6b for taking in the air from the air conditioner blow port B on the rear side, an air blowing window 6c for sending the air to the upper blow pipe 4 and the bottom blow pipe 5 in the central portion, and a compressed casing on the right side. An intake window 6d with a check valve for taking in the air in the portion 2 and an insertion hole 6e through which the air intake pipe 7 is inserted are provided on the left side. The air intake pipe 7 has one end fixed to the casing portion 2, the other end opened as a blowout port 7a, and an air insertion hole 7b is formed at an appropriate position. If necessary, a check valve may be attached to the air insertion hole 7b or each of the blowout pipes so that more effective pressure increase can be performed. Therefore, the slider 6
The pressure increasing means by the movement of (1) moves to the left from the state in which the slider 6 is at the rightmost position (FIG. 5a) (at this time, the air intake window 2a is closed), but to the left. Along with this, the air in the left casing portion 2 is compressed while part of the air is blown out from the two upper outlet pipes 4 on the left side, and the other is introduced into the slider 6 from the air insertion hole 7b of the air intake pipe 7 and blown out. It is blown out from 7a. In the state of being located in the central portion (Fig. 5b), it enters from one air insertion hole 7b of the air intake pipe 7 and is blown out from the air outlet 7a. Further, in the state of moving to the left and being located on the leftmost side (FIG. 5c), the two left upper blow-out pipes 4 are closed by the slider 6, and all the compressed air is blown out from the blow-out port 7a. This time, it moves to the right, the air in the casing 2 on the right side is compressed while part of the air is blown out from the upper two outlet pipes 4 on the right side, and the other is taken in from the intake window 6d opened in the slider 6. The air intake window 2a of the casing portion 2 is open at this time, and it moves to the right as it is and returns to the state of (FIG. 5a). It should be noted that FIG. 5 schematically illustrates only the flow of the boosted air due to the movement of the slider 6, and the flow of air from the air outlet B and the flow to each blowout pipe are omitted. By continuing this slide movement, the pressure-increased air can be sent from each blow-out pipe, and sufficient cold air or warm air can be supplied to each blow-out pipe 4, 5.
The air can be blown from the blower unit 3.

FIG. 6 is a partial transverse sectional view showing a state in which a shielding wall and an introduction pipe are provided, and FIG. 7 is a partial longitudinal sectional view thereof. The mechanism illustrated in the present embodiment has a first purpose of preventing the airflow from the air conditioner from directly flowing out to the airflow part of the apparatus body, and a second purpose of controlling the airflow rate from the air conditioner by the main valve. The third purpose is to ensure that the air conditioner blows sufficiently in the slider.By this, the air blow rate of the air conditioner with variations can be controlled appropriately, and the air flow to the floor blow-off pipe can be increased. The amount of air blown from the air outlet can be maintained.

More specifically, a shielding wall 11 is provided in the casing so that the air blown from the air conditioner air blower does not directly flow out to the blowout pipes but stays on the air conditioner side.
Further, the shielding wall 11 is provided with a valved air blowing port 12 having a main valve 13, and an introducing pipe 14 is connected so as to introduce the air blown from the valved air blowing port 12 into the slider 6. In addition, in this embodiment, the blower port 1 with a valve is used.
2 is provided in the central portion and the opening of the introduction pipe 14 is positioned in the direction of the floor blow-out pipe 5 to ensure a sufficient amount of air to be blown to the floor blow-out pipe 5. Also for the tube 4, it is possible to flow out from the air supply window 6c of the slider 6 to secure an appropriate air flow rate. The main valve 13 is a valve for efficiently opening and closing the airflow of the air conditioner A, which changes greatly with time, so that the airflow from each blow-out pipe, that is, the cool air or the warm air flows out most effectively, and is the most effective. A mechanism for manually opening and closing the degree of opening and closing (for example, full open or half open) is sufficient, but a mechanism means for automatically opening and closing may be provided in order to cope with minute changes in air flow, room temperature, and the like.

The outlet pipe 5 for the bottom is provided with a distributor 8 at an appropriate position so that several vertical outlets can be arranged on the wall surface. This is a patented method for uniform wind velocity at each outlet of the duct and its device (Patent No. 28165).
77, U.S. Pat. No. 5,101,847), and the specific structure will be described later. A joint 9 is provided on the bottom layer blow-off pipe 5a extending from the distributor 8, and a connecting pipe 10 is continuously provided so that the blow-out port can be arranged at a desired position on the floor. . Of course, not only one but a plurality of bottom layer blow-off pipes 5a may be extended so that the blow-out ports are arranged at a plurality of positions on the floor surface. The distributor 8 has a built-in adjusting valve and a heater for adjusting the blown air amount of each blow-out pipe thereafter, and by taking a means for appropriately adjusting the blown air amount and temperature according to various situations, the indoor space is made comfortable. You can do it.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, by providing the distributor 8 with the air flow rate adjusting means and the wind speed equalizing means, it becomes possible to provide a room temperature adjusting apparatus with higher accuracy. That is,
An air volume adjusting unit that divides the space into the distributor 8 by the number of subsequent air outlet pipes 5b (in this embodiment, excluding the central bottom layer air outlet pipe 5a, four spaces) and adjusts the air volume to make the air velocity uniform. 15 and the adjusting valve 16 are provided, which makes it possible to send out uniform winds to each of the five blowing pipes. The adjustment valve 16 is composed of a rotatable partition blade 17 and a guide blade 18, and is a space in which the air flowing from the upper floor blowing pipe 5 is partitioned by the lower guide blades 18 by the rotating operation of the rotary partition blade 17. To each outlet pipe 5 by adjusting the air volume appropriately.
The air blown from b is equalized. The air volume adjusting unit 15 appropriately moves the air blown into the bottom layer blow pipe 5a provided in the central portion of the bottom blow pipe 5 slightly before the distributor 8 to the other space on the blow pipe 5b side for distribution. By adjusting the air volume in the vessel 8, uniform air can be sent out through the blow-out pipe 5a and the blow-out pipe 5b.

The moving speed of the slider 6, the degree of opening / closing of the main valve 13, and the blow-out pipes (including the upper blow-out pipe) described above.
The degree of opening and closing of the adjusting valve, the rotating speed of the adjusting valve, the adjustment of the heater, etc. can all be adjusted by computer control so that a more comfortable space can be created, and various operation switches are provided on the remote controller of the air conditioner. By doing so, it is possible to perform a simple hand operation and improve the usability by several steps.

Therefore, in the case of heating, when only an ordinary air conditioner is used, for example, although the upper part of the room may reach 30 degrees or more, the lower part of the room often does not reach room temperature of 20 degrees. In that case, the temperature difference can be suppressed and the average indoor temperature can be achieved, and the unpleasant warm air peculiar to the air conditioner is eliminated, and the indoor space that is sensible can be created. Also, in the case of cooling, only the normal air conditioner, the bottom layer of the room becomes too low,
This often causes colds and colds in the air conditioner, but in the case of this device, the cold air from each of the outlet pipes cools the entire room, so only the bottom layer does not become cold, and even strong cold air It has disappeared and we have created a comfortable indoor space. However, in the case of cooling, the allowable temperature for each individual varies greatly, so in some cases, if you reduce the amount of air blown from the bottom blow-out pipe or heat with a heater to blow air, that problem will be solved sufficiently. .

[0019]

As described above, according to the present invention, the structure is totally different from that of the conventional air conditioner, that is, unlike the direct air conditioner of the air conditioner, the air is temporarily stopped. We take measures to increase the pressure and send this to each layer in the room, the wind speed is extremely weak, but cold air or warm air is spread throughout the room, and natural temperature adjustment can be appropriately performed, and at present, The effect of this device, which makes it easy for anyone to use an air conditioner that has not been effectively used, is enormous, and it can be said that its commercial value is extremely high.
