Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、本体の正面から送風するエアコン室内機に関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のエアコン室内機は、一般的に本体の下側に吹出し口が設けられている（以下の特許文献１を参照）。
【０００３】
【特許文献１】
特開平１０−１０３７５８号公報（段落番号［００２０］から［００３２］、図４）
【０００４】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来のエアコン室内機は以上のように構成されているので、本体の下側に設けられている吹出し口から冷風や温風を送風することができる。しかし、冷風を送風する場合、できる限り上方向に送風することが望ましいが、吹出し口が本体の下側に設けられているため、上方向に送風するには限界があり、冷風を効率よく循環させることができないことがあるなどの課題があった。
【０００５】
この発明は上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、冷風や温風を効率よく循環させることができるエアコン室内機を得ることを目的とする。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明に係るエアコン室内機は、熱交換器により熱交換された空気を本体の正面から送風する送風機を設けたものである。
また、本体が電源ユニット内蔵のクレードル部を介して壁に取り付けられており、送風機が本体の背面に取り付けられた吸込み口から室内の空気を吸い込むようにしたものである。
【０００７】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の一形態を説明する。
実施の形態１．
図１はこの発明の実施の形態１によるエアコン室内機を示す正面透視図であり、図２はこの発明の実施の形態１によるエアコン室内機を示す側面図である。図において、熱交換器３は本体１内の背面側に設置され、吸込み口２から吸込まれた室内の空気と図示せぬ室外機から送られた冷媒の間で熱交換を実施する。なお、熱交換器３は複数の熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃから構成されている。
送風機４は熱交換器３の前面側に設置され、複数のプロペラファン４ａ，４ｂ，４ｃから構成されている。プロペラファン４ａ，４ｂ，４ｃは熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃの前面側に設置され、吸込み口２から室内の空気を吸込んで熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃに通し、その熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃを通過した空気を室内に送風する。
なお、この実施の形態１では、本体１の正面には吹出しベーン５が取り付けられ、図示せぬ開閉機構により吹出しベーン５が開閉されるが、吹出しベーン５の代わりに、本体１の正面に吹出し口を取り付けるようにしてもよい。
【０００８】
次に動作について説明する。
本体１の正面に取り付けられている吹出しベーン５が図３のように開いている状態において、プロペラファン４ａ，４ｂ，４ｃが回転を開始すると、図２に示すように、吸込み口２から室内の空気の吸込みを開始し、その空気が熱交換器３の熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃに流入する。
熱交換器３の熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃに流入された空気は、図示せぬ室外機から送られた冷媒との間で熱交換され、熱交換後の空気が室内に送風される。
【０００９】
なお、この実施の形態１では、一般的には、本体１内の正面側に設置される熱交換器３を本体１内の背面側に設置して、本体１の背面側から室内の空気を吸込めるようにするため、図４に示すように、電源ユニット内蔵のクレードル部を介して壁に取り付けるようにしている。ただし、本体１がクレードル部と一体化されていてもよい。
これにより、本体１内の正面側にスペースが出来るので、本体１の正面から空気を送風することができるようになる。
【００１０】
以上で明らかなように、この実施の形態１によれば、熱交換ユニット３ａ，３ｂ，３ｃにより熱交換された空気を本体１の正面から送風するプロペラファン４ａ，４ｂ，４ｃを設けるように構成したので、例えば、冷風を送風する場合、本体１の下側から送風する場合よりも、容易に上方向に送風することができるようになり、その結果、冷風や温風を効率よく循環させることができる効果を奏する。
【００１１】
実施の形態２．
上記実施の形態１では、本体１の背面に取り付けられた吸込み口２から室内の空気を吸い込むものについて示したが、図５に示すように、送風機４が本体１の上面及び下面に取り付けられた吸込み口６，７から室内の空気を吸い込むようにしてもよく、上記実施の形態１と同様の効果を奏することができる。
【００１２】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、この発明によれば、熱交換器により熱交換された空気を本体の正面から送風する送風機を設けるように構成したので、例えば、冷風を送風する場合、本体の下側から送風する場合よりも、容易に上方向に送風することができるようになり、その結果、冷風や温風を効率よく循環させることができる効果がある。
また、本体が電源ユニット内蔵のクレードル部を介して壁に取り付けられているように構成したので、送風機が本体の背面に取り付けられた吸込み口から室内の空気を吸い込むことができる効果がある。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an air conditioner indoor unit that blows air from the front of a main body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventional air conditioner indoor units are generally provided with an outlet on the lower side of the main body (see Patent Document 1 below).
[0003]
[Patent Document 1]
JP-A-10-103758 (paragraph numbers [0020] to [0032], FIG. 4)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the conventional air conditioner indoor unit is configured as described above, cold air or hot air can be blown from the outlet provided on the lower side of the main body. However, when blowing cool air, it is desirable to blow as much as possible upwards, but since the blowout port is provided on the lower side of the main body, there is a limit to blowing upwards, and cool air is circulated efficiently. There were problems such as being unable to make it happen.
[0005]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to obtain an air conditioner indoor unit that can circulate cold air and hot air efficiently.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The air conditioner indoor unit according to the present invention is provided with a blower that blows air exchanged by a heat exchanger from the front of the main body.
Moreover, the main body is attached to the wall via a cradle part with a built-in power supply unit, and the blower sucks indoor air from a suction port attached to the back of the main body.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a front perspective view showing an air conditioner indoor unit according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view showing the air conditioner indoor unit according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the figure, the heat exchanger 3 is installed on the back side in the main body 1 and performs heat exchange between indoor air sucked from the suction port 2 and refrigerant sent from an outdoor unit (not shown). The heat exchanger 3 includes a plurality of heat exchange units 3a, 3b, 3c.
The blower 4 is installed on the front side of the heat exchanger 3 and is composed of a plurality of propeller fans 4a, 4b, 4c. Propeller fans 4a, 4b, and 4c are installed on the front side of the heat exchange units 3a, 3b, and 3c, suck in indoor air from the suction port 2, and pass through the heat exchange units 3a, 3b, and 3c. The air that has passed through 3b and 3c is blown into the room.
In the first embodiment, a blowing vane 5 is attached to the front of the main body 1 and the blowing vane 5 is opened and closed by an opening / closing mechanism (not shown). Instead of the blowing vane 5, the blowing vane 5 is blown to the front of the main body 1. A mouth may be attached.
[0008]
Next, the operation will be described.
When propeller fans 4a, 4b, and 4c start rotating in a state in which the blowing vane 5 attached to the front surface of the main body 1 is opened as shown in FIG. 3, as shown in FIG. Air suction starts, and the air flows into the heat exchange units 3a, 3b, 3c of the heat exchanger 3.
The air that has flowed into the heat exchange units 3a, 3b, and 3c of the heat exchanger 3 is heat-exchanged with a refrigerant sent from an outdoor unit (not shown), and the air after the heat exchange is blown into the room.
[0009]
In the first embodiment, generally, the heat exchanger 3 installed on the front side in the main body 1 is installed on the back side in the main body 1, and indoor air is drawn from the back side of the main body 1. In order to allow suction, as shown in FIG. 4, it is attached to the wall via a cradle part with a built-in power supply unit. However, the main body 1 may be integrated with the cradle part.
Thereby, since a space is made on the front side in the main body 1, air can be blown from the front of the main body 1.
[0010]
As apparent from the above, according to the first embodiment, the propeller fans 4a, 4b, and 4c for blowing the air exchanged by the heat exchange units 3a, 3b, and 3c from the front of the main body 1 are provided. Therefore, for example, when blowing cool air, it becomes possible to blow air upward more easily than when blowing from the lower side of the main body 1, and as a result, cool air and warm air can be circulated efficiently. There is an effect that can.
[0011]
Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, the air that sucks indoor air from the suction port 2 attached to the back surface of the main body 1 is shown. However, as shown in FIG. 5, the blower 4 is attached to the upper surface and the lower surface of the main body 1. Indoor air may be sucked from the suction ports 6 and 7, and the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As mentioned above, according to this invention, since it comprised so that the air which heat-exchanged with the heat exchanger might be ventilated from the front of a main body, for example, when blowing cool air, it blows from the lower side of a main body. As compared with the case where it does, it becomes possible to blow air upward easily, and as a result, there is an effect that cold air and hot air can be circulated efficiently.
Moreover, since it comprised so that the main body might be attached to the wall via the cradle part with a built-in power supply unit, there exists an effect which can blow in indoor air from the suction inlet which the air blower was attached to the back surface of the main body.
