Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、空調系ダクトより分岐して使用される空調用吹出口に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、この種の空調用吹出口は、図５に示すものが知られている。以下この図を参照しながら説明する。モータ１０１を駆動源とした首振り機構を内蔵した首振り駆動部１０２が空調系ダクト１０３の流路中に配設され、この首振り駆動部１０２を介して連結された首振り揺動する通気筒１０４と、球状接手１０５を形成した吹出口１０６と、この球状接手１０５を嵌装した吹出口支持筒１０７を、通気筒１０４の吹出側に備えたものであり、モータ１０１に通電することにより首振り機構を駆動して通気筒１０４に首振り揺動を伝達するものである。
【０００３】
また、空調系ダクトの空調空気を吹出口１０６の球状接手１０５の可動範囲において、任意の位置に人の手の操作によって設定できるようにしたものである。
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このような従来の空調用吹出口では、吹出口１０６の可変角度θの大きさは、球状接手１０５の球径Ａに対する吹出口径Ｂとの割合いＢ／Ａで決定づけられ、多数の人がいる所へできる限り広範囲に垂下方向へも空調された空気を供給して欲しいという要望を満足するためには、吹出口径Ｂは必然的に小さくなることとなり、その結果として球径Ａから吹出口径Ｂへ急激な断面積の変化を招き、この部分を通過する空調空気の通風抵抗を増大するという課題があり、通風抵抗を増大させることなく垂下方向に向かって広範囲に空調空気を吹き出し得る空調用吹出口が要求されている。
【０００５】
また、特に暖房空調時は、吹出口を下方向に向け暖かい空気を下方向へ吹き出し効率的に空調を行い、快適性を良くする必要がある。
【０００６】
本発明は、このような従来の課題を解決するものであり吹出口１０６の吹出口径Ｂを変えずに、吹出口１０６を垂下方向に変位させることのできる空調用吹出口を提供することを目的としている。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の空調用吹出口は上記目的を達成するために、球状接手で吹出口を嵌装した吹出口支持筒に、伏仰角度の回動をする回動軸を備え、通気筒の下流側開口部に回動支持される構成にしたものである。
【０００８】
本発明によれば、吹出口支持筒に回動軸を備えることにより、外力を加えると容易に角度が変えられることが可能となり、垂下方向に吹出口支持筒を任意角度に変位させることができる。また吹出口支持筒に角度位置の調整を分担させることが、吹出口の吹出口径Ｂの径小に伴う通風抵抗の増大という従来の課題を解消する空調用吹出口が得られる。
【０００９】
また他の手段は、通風筒の吹出し開口と吹出口支持筒との間に接続され、伏仰角度に回動し伸縮自在な通風路に形成された可撓性を有する通風ジャバラと、この通風ジャバラを縮長した格納時に通風筒と吹出口支持筒とを係止する係止部材をそれぞれに設けて構成したものである。
【００１０】
そして本発明によれば、係止部材の係止を離脱することにより通風ジャバラを伏仰角度の姿勢に変位させることができる空調用吹出口が得られる。
【００１１】
また他の手段は、通風筒と吹出口支持筒との間に、モータで駆動されるリンクを結合して構成したものである。
【００１２】
そして本発明によれば、モータの駆動により、リンクの開脚角度を任意に変えて通風ジャバラを伏仰角度に伸縮自在に姿勢制御することができる空調用吹出口が得られる。
【００１３】
また他の手段は、空調空気の温度を検知する温度センサーと、温度センサーの信号により、リンクの開脚度を変更するモータに駆動用電気的信号を伝える制御部とで構成したものである。
【００１４】
そして本発明によれば、暖房空調時には通風ジャバラを伏仰角度の姿勢に自動的に変位させ、空気の吹出し方向を下方向に制御することができる空調用吹出口が得られる。
【００１５】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、空調空気を給送する空調系ダクトの流路中に設けたモータを駆動源とする首振り機構を内蔵した首振り駆動部と、この首振り駆動部を介して連結された空調空気を分岐給送する屈曲部を有する通風筒と、この通風筒の吹出し開口に伏仰角度の回動自在な通風路に形成された吹出口支持筒と、、吹出口とで構成され、吹出口は球状継手とノズル状の吹出口で構成され、かつ、吹出口支持筒の吹出し開口に球状接手に嵌装され、吹出口支持筒を任意の伏仰角度に回動し、かつ、球状継手により吹出口の角度を変更することにより、垂下方向まで吹出口を変位することができる。
【００１６】
また、通風筒の吹出し開口と吹出口支持筒との間に接続され、伏仰角度に回動し伸縮自在な通風路に形成された可撓性を有する通風ジャバラと、この通風ジャバラを縮長した格納時に通風筒と吹出口支持筒とを係止する係止部材をそれぞれに設けて構成したものであり、係止部材の係止を離脱させることにより、通風ジャバラを垂下方向まで伏仰角度を変位することができる。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a conventional air-conditioning outlet, the size of the variable angle θ of the outlet 106 is determined by a ratio B / A of the outlet diameter B with respect to the spherical diameter A of the spherical joint 105, and there are many people. In order to satisfy the desire to supply air conditioned in the drooping direction as widely as possible to the location, the outlet diameter B will inevitably become smaller, and as a result, the outlet diameter B from the spherical diameter A will be reduced. There is a problem of increasing the ventilation resistance of the conditioned air that passes through this part, causing a sudden change in the cross-sectional area, and it is possible to blow the conditioned air over a wide range in the drooping direction without increasing the ventilation resistance. An exit is requested.

In addition, having the air outlet support cylinder share the adjustment of the angular position provides an air conditioning air outlet that eliminates the conventional problem of increasing ventilation resistance due to the small diameter B of the air outlet.

Each is provided with a locking member that locks the ventilation tube and the air outlet support tube when the bellows are contracted.
[0010]
And according to this invention, the air outlet for air conditioning which can displace the ventilation bellows to the attitude | position of a prone angle is obtained by releasing the latching of a latching member.
[0011]
The other means is constructed by coupling a motor-driven link between the ventilation tube and the air outlet support tube.
[0012]
According to the present invention, an air-conditioning outlet can be obtained in which the opening angle of the link can be arbitrarily changed and the ventilated bellows can be extended and retracted to the up-and-down angle by driving the motor.
[0013]
The other means comprises a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the conditioned air, and a control unit for transmitting an electric signal for driving to a motor that changes the degree of opening of the link by a signal from the temperature sensor.
[0014]
And according to this invention, the ventilation bellows can be automatically displaced to the attitude | position of a protrusion angle at the time of heating air conditioning, and the blower outlet for air conditioning which can control the blowing direction of air downward is obtained.
[0015]
