以下、本実施形態を添付図面を用いて説明する。   Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(実施の形態1)
図1〜7に示すように、以下本発明の一実施形態を添付図面を用いて説明する。
(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

図1に示すごとく、本実施形態の除湿装置は、本体ケース3の背面には第1の吸気口1aと第2の吸気口1bとを有し、本体ケース3の天面には排気口2を有している。本体ケース3内にはヒートポンプ4を備え、このヒートポンプ4は、圧縮機5と、圧縮機5の下流に順次設けた放熱器6、膨張手段7、吸熱器8とにより形成している。送風手段9によって、第1の吸気口1aから本体ケース3内に吸気した空気を放熱器6、吸熱器8を順次介して排気口2へと送風される第1の送風路と、第2の吸気口1bから本体ケース内に吸気した空気を吸熱器8を介して排気口2へと送風する第2の送風路とを備えている。これら第1の送風路および第2の送風路に送風するための送風手段9を放熱器6と吸熱器8との間に設けている。除湿ローター10の放湿部11は、第1の送風路の放熱器6と吸熱器8の間に設け、この放熱器6と除湿ローター10の放湿部11との間に加熱手段を備えており、除湿ローター10の吸湿部13は、第1の送風路および第2の送風路の吸熱器8と排気口2の間に設けている。ここで、圧縮機5で加圧された冷媒は、放熱器6に送られ、ここで第1の吸気口1aから本体ケース3内に吸気された空気を加熱する。次に、放熱器6を通過した冷媒は、膨張手段7に到達し、その後、吸熱器8を介して、圧縮機5へと戻るサイクルになっている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the dehumidifier of the present embodiment has a first intake port 1 a and a second intake port 1 b on the back surface of the main body case 3, and an exhaust port 2 on the top surface of the main body case 3. have. A heat pump 4 is provided in the main body case 3, and the heat pump 4 is formed by a compressor 5, a radiator 6, an expansion means 7, and a heat absorber 8 that are sequentially provided downstream of the compressor 5. A first air passage through which air sucked into the main body case 3 from the first air inlet 1a is blown by the air blowing means 9 to the air outlet 2 through the heat radiator 6 and the heat absorber 8; And a second air passage that blows air taken into the main body case from the air inlet 1b to the air outlet 2 via the heat absorber 8. Blowing means 9 for blowing air to the first air passage and the second air passage is provided between the radiator 6 and the heat absorber 8. The dehumidifying rotor 10 has a moisture releasing part 11 provided between the radiator 6 and the heat absorber 8 in the first air passage, and a heating means is provided between the radiator 6 and the moisture releasing part 11 of the dehumidifying rotor 10. The dehumidifying rotor 10 is provided between the heat absorber 8 and the exhaust port 2 in the first air passage and the second air passage. Here, the refrigerant pressurized by the compressor 5 is sent to the radiator 6, where the air sucked into the main body case 3 from the first air inlet 1 a is heated. Next, the refrigerant that has passed through the radiator 6 reaches the expansion means 7 and then returns to the compressor 5 via the heat absorber 8.

以上の構成において除湿動作について説明する。まず、第1の吸気口1aから本体ケース3内に吸気した空気は、放熱器6で加熱され、更に加熱手段であるヒーター12で加熱され、除湿ローター10の放湿部11を通過し、ここで放湿部11からの湿気を奪った状態で吸熱器8へと流れることになる。次に、第2の吸気口1bから本体ケース3内に吸気した空気も、吸熱器8へと流れる。つまり、第1の吸気口1aから本体ケース3内に吸気した空気と、第2の吸気口1bから本体ケース3内に吸気した空気は、吸熱器8で混ざり合うものである。ここでまず、吸熱器8で結露が行われ、この結露水は貯水タンク14へと貯められることになる。   The dehumidifying operation in the above configuration will be described. First, the air sucked into the main body case 3 from the first air inlet 1a is heated by the radiator 6 and further heated by the heater 12 which is a heating means, and passes through the moisture releasing portion 11 of the dehumidifying rotor 10, Thus, the moisture flows from the moisture release section 11 to the heat absorber 8 while being deprived of moisture. Next, the air sucked into the main body case 3 from the second air inlet 1 b also flows to the heat absorber 8. That is, the air sucked into the main body case 3 from the first air inlet 1 a and the air sucked into the main body case 3 from the second air inlet 1 b are mixed by the heat absorber 8. Here, first, dew condensation is performed by the heat absorber 8, and this dew condensation water is stored in the water storage tank 14.

さて、吸熱器8を通過した空気は、この吸熱器8によって低温となるが、低温ながらも湿度は極めて高い状態となっている。この高い湿度を含んだ低温の空気は、次に除湿ローター10の吸湿部13を通過することになるのであるが、この吸湿部13は、駆動手段15により回転駆動されることにより図1の上方の放湿部11部分ですでに放湿し、湿度が低い状態となっているものであるので、上記低温ながらも湿度は極めて高い状態の空気から湿気を吸湿することができる。   Now, the air that has passed through the heat absorber 8 is cooled to a low temperature by the heat absorber 8, but the humidity is extremely high although the temperature is low. This low-temperature air containing high humidity then passes through the hygroscopic portion 13 of the dehumidifying rotor 10, and the hygroscopic portion 13 is rotated by the driving means 15 to move upward in FIG. Since the moisture is already released at the moisture releasing portion 11 and the humidity is low, the moisture can be absorbed from the air having a very high humidity despite the low temperature.

以上の除湿動作において、温湿度検知手段16の検知温度値および検知湿度値に応じて、制御手段21によって、送風手段9、および加熱手段のヒーター12の運転制御を行なうものである。   In the above dehumidifying operation, the control means 21 controls the operation of the air blowing means 9 and the heater 12 of the heating means in accordance with the detected temperature value and the detected humidity value of the temperature / humidity detecting means 16.

本実施形態における特徴は、温湿度検知手段16と、放熱器6と、断熱手段との構成にある。   The characteristic in this embodiment exists in the structure of the temperature / humidity detection means 16, the heat radiator 6, and a heat insulation means.

図1〜4に示すごとく、第1の吸気口1aと第2の吸気口1bとは隣接させた構成とし、第2の吸気口1bと送風手段9との間に温湿度検知手段16を設け、この温湿度検知手段16は第2の吸気口1bと対向すると共に放熱器6と隣り合わせの位置に配置し、温湿度検知手段16と放熱器6との間に断熱手段として第1の仕切壁部17を設けたものである。具体的には、本体ケース3の背面には、略四角形状の第1の吸気口1aと、この第1の吸気口1aと縦方向の長さが同じである、略縦長四角形状の第2の吸気口1bとを有し、これら第1の吸気口1aと第2の吸気口1bとを隣り合った位置に設けている。つまり、第1の吸気口1aと第2の吸気口1bとによって、1つの略横長四角形状の吸込口を形成している。この第1の吸気口1aの風路風下側には、第1の吸気口1aとほぼ同じ大きさの略四角形状で、送風手段9によって第1の吸気口1aから吸い込まれた空気を暖める放熱器6を設け、第2の吸気口1bの風路風下側には、この第2の吸気口1bに対向した位置に、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の温度値および湿度値を検知する温湿度検知手段16を備え、この温湿度検知手段16は、第2の吸気口1bと送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18との間に設けられている。そして、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16との間で、第1の吸気口1aと第2の吸気口1bとの境目に、第1の送風路と第2の送風路とを仕切るように、断熱手段として第1の仕切壁部17を設けている。   1-4, the 1st inlet 1a and the 2nd inlet 1b are made into the adjacent structure, and the temperature / humidity detection means 16 is provided between the 2nd inlet 1b and the ventilation means 9. As shown in FIG. The temperature / humidity detecting means 16 is disposed opposite to the second air inlet 1b and adjacent to the radiator 6, and the first partition wall serves as a heat insulating means between the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 and the radiator 6. A portion 17 is provided. Specifically, on the back surface of the main body case 3, the first intake port 1 a having a substantially rectangular shape and the second substantially rectangular shape having the same length in the vertical direction as the first intake port 1 a are provided. The first intake port 1a and the second intake port 1b are provided adjacent to each other. That is, the first air inlet 1a and the second air inlet 1b form one substantially horizontally long suction port. On the leeward side of the air path of the first air inlet 1a, a heat release that warms the air sucked from the first air inlet 1a by the air blowing means 9 in a substantially square shape having the same size as the first air inlet 1a. A temperature value of the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 is provided at a position facing the second air inlet 1b on the wind path leeward side of the second air inlet 1b. And a temperature / humidity detecting means 16 for detecting the humidity value, and this temperature / humidity detecting means 16 is provided between the second air inlet 1b and the casing portion 18 which is the outer peripheral portion of the air blowing means 9. Then, between the radiator 6 and the temperature / humidity detection means 16, the first air passage and the second air passage are partitioned at the boundary between the first air inlet 1a and the second air inlet 1b. The first partition wall 17 is provided as a heat insulating means.

すなわち、温湿度検知手段16は第2の吸気口1bと対向すると共に放熱器6と隣り合わせの位置に配置し、温湿度検知手段16と放熱器6との間に断熱手段として第1の仕切壁部17を備えたので、この断熱手段によって温湿度検知手段16は放熱器6の影響を受け難くなると共に、温湿度検知手段16は第2の吸気口1bと対向しており、第2の吸気口1bを介して室内の空気が温湿度検知手段16に流入し易いので、結論として、本体運転時のノッチにかかわらず温湿度値を精度良く検知できるものである。   That is, the temperature / humidity detection means 16 is disposed opposite to the second air inlet 1b and adjacent to the radiator 6, and the first partition wall is provided as a heat insulation means between the temperature / humidity detection means 16 and the radiator 6. The temperature / humidity detecting means 16 is not easily affected by the radiator 6 due to this heat insulating means, and the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 faces the second air inlet 1b. Since indoor air easily flows into the temperature / humidity detection means 16 through the port 1b, the temperature / humidity value can be detected with high accuracy regardless of the notch during operation of the main body.

これらの結果により、ヒートポンプ4の影響を抑制し、温湿度検知値の精度の更なる向上ができるものである。   Based on these results, the influence of the heat pump 4 can be suppressed and the accuracy of the temperature and humidity detection value can be further improved.

また、図3〜6に示すごとく、断熱手段として、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16との間に設けた第1の仕切壁部17と、温湿度検知手段16の周囲に設けた第2の仕切壁部19の一部により形成された風路部20があり、この風路部20は、第2の吸気口1bから上下2方向に吸熱器8とを連通した構成である。具体的には、断熱手段である第1の仕切壁部17は、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16との間に、第1の吸気口1aと第2の吸気口1bとからなる吸込口と送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18とに挟まれ、第1の送風路と第2の送風路とを仕切るように、送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18から吸込口の方向に縦長四角平板形状に延びている。第2の仕切壁部19は、温湿度検知手段16の上面を覆う上面壁部19aと、放熱器6側の側面を覆う放熱器側壁部19bと、放熱器6の反対側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cとから形成され、このうち、第2の仕切壁部19の一部である放熱器6側の側面を覆う放熱器側壁部19bは、送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18から吸込口の方向に縦長四角平板形状に延びている。これら第1の仕切壁部17と、第2の仕切壁部19の一部である放熱器側壁部19bとは、所定の間隔を有し、平行に設けられており、この第1の仕切壁部17と、第2の仕切壁部19の一部である放熱器側壁部19bと、送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18とによって囲まれた空間が風路部20である。この風路部20は第2の送風路内にあり、上面には開口した上面開口部20aと、下面には開口した下面開口部20bとを備えており、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部は、風路部20内に流れ込み、この風路部の上面開口部20aおよび下面開口部20bから吸熱器8へと流れるものである。   As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the first partition wall 17 provided between the radiator 6 and the temperature / humidity detection means 16 and the second provided around the temperature / humidity detection means 16 as heat insulation means. There is an air passage portion 20 formed by a part of the partition wall portion 19, and this air passage portion 20 has a configuration in which the heat absorber 8 is communicated with the second intake port 1 b in two directions. Specifically, the first partition wall portion 17 which is a heat insulating means is provided with a suction port composed of a first air inlet 1a and a second air inlet 1b between the radiator 6 and the temperature / humidity detecting means 16. And the casing portion 18 which is the outer peripheral portion of the air blowing means 9, and the direction of the suction port from the casing portion 18 which is the outer peripheral portion of the air blowing means 9 so as to partition the first air passage and the second air passage. It extends in a vertically long rectangular flat plate shape. The second partition wall portion 19 includes an upper surface wall portion 19 a that covers the upper surface of the temperature / humidity detection means 16, a radiator side wall portion 19 b that covers the side surface on the radiator 6 side, and an opposite side surface that covers the side surface on the opposite side of the radiator 6. The radiator side wall 19c is formed from the radiator side wall 19c, and the radiator side wall 19b that covers the side of the radiator 6 side that is a part of the second partition wall 19 is a casing part that is an outer periphery of the air blowing means 9. It extends in the shape of a vertically long rectangular flat plate from 18 toward the suction port. The first partition wall portion 17 and the radiator side wall portion 19b which is a part of the second partition wall portion 19 have a predetermined interval and are provided in parallel. The first partition wall A space surrounded by the portion 17, the radiator side wall portion 19 b that is a part of the second partition wall portion 19, and the casing portion 18 that is the outer peripheral portion of the air blowing means 9 is the air passage portion 20. The air passage portion 20 is in the second air passage, and includes an upper surface opening portion 20a opened on the upper surface and a lower surface opening portion 20b opened on the lower surface. A part of the air sucked from 1b flows into the air passage portion 20, and flows from the upper surface opening 20a and the lower surface opening 20b of the air passage portion to the heat absorber 8.

すなわち、断熱手段である、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16との間に設けた第1の仕切壁部17と、第2の仕切壁部19の一部である放熱器側壁部19bと、送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18とによって囲まれた空間である風路部20には、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部が流れ込み、この風路部20の上面開口部20aおよび下面開口部20bから吸熱器8へと流れるため、この流れによって、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16とを断熱できるので、ヒートポンプ4の放熱器6の影響を抑制し、温湿度検知値の精度の更なる向上ができるものである。   That is, a first partition wall portion 17 provided between the radiator 6 and the temperature / humidity detection means 16, which is a heat insulating means, and a radiator side wall portion 19b which is a part of the second partition wall portion 19, Part of the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 flows into the air passage portion 20 which is a space surrounded by the casing portion 18 which is the outer peripheral portion of the air blowing means 9, and this air passage. Since the heat flows from the upper surface opening 20a and the lower surface opening 20b of the section 20 to the heat absorber 8, the heat sink 6 and the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 can be insulated by this flow, so that the influence of the heat radiator 6 of the heat pump 4 is suppressed. In addition, the accuracy of the temperature / humidity detection value can be further improved.

また、図4に示すごとく、第1の仕切壁部17は、送風手段9の外周であるケーシング部18と一体に形成されたものである。具体的には、送風手段9の外周であるケーシング部18の材質は、樹脂材料であり、第1の仕切壁部17の材質も、同様の樹脂材料で造られている。すなわち、同一の材料で一体に形成されることにより、第1の仕切壁部17と送風手段9の外周であるケーシング部18との隙間を無くすことができるので、第1の吸気口1aから吸い込まれた空気の一部が、第1の仕切壁部17と送風手段9の外周であるケーシング部18との隙間から第2の送風路内に入ることを抑制でき、結果として、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16とを断熱できるので、ヒートポンプ4の放熱器6の影響を抑制し、温湿度検知値の精度の更なる向上ができるものである。   As shown in FIG. 4, the first partition wall portion 17 is formed integrally with the casing portion 18 that is the outer periphery of the air blowing means 9. Specifically, the material of the casing part 18 which is the outer periphery of the air blowing means 9 is a resin material, and the material of the first partition wall part 17 is also made of the same resin material. That is, since the gap between the first partition wall portion 17 and the casing portion 18 that is the outer periphery of the air blowing means 9 can be eliminated by being integrally formed of the same material, the air is sucked from the first air inlet 1a. It is possible to suppress a part of the air that has entered the second air passage from the gap between the first partition wall 17 and the casing 18 that is the outer periphery of the air blowing means 9. Since the temperature and humidity detection means 16 can be insulated, the influence of the radiator 6 of the heat pump 4 can be suppressed, and the accuracy of the temperature and humidity detection value can be further improved.

また、図4〜6に示すごとく、第2の仕切壁部19は、温湿度検知手段16の上面を覆う上面壁部19aと、放熱器6側の側面を覆う放熱器側壁部19bと、放熱器6の反対側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cとから形成されたものである。具体的には、第2の仕切壁部19は、送風手段9の外周であるケーシング部18から、第2の吸気口1bの方向に延びた、下面が開口した略コの字形状の壁部である。この略コの字形状の壁部は、温湿度検知手段16の上面を覆う上面壁部19aと、放熱器6側の側面を覆う放熱器側壁部19bと、放熱器6の反対側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cとの3つの壁部から形成されている。すなわち、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部は、略コの字形状の第2の仕切壁部19内の温湿度検知手段16に流れ込み、第2の仕切壁部19の下面より吸熱器8へと流れる方向と、断熱手段である、放熱器6と温湿度検知手段16との間に設けた第1の仕切壁部17と、第2の仕切壁部19の一部である放熱器側壁部19bと、送風手段9の外周部であるケーシング部18とによって囲まれた空間である風路部20に、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部が流れ込み、この風路部20の下面開口部20bから吸熱器8へと流れる方向とがほぼ同じになるので、断熱手段である風路部20の空気が、第2の仕切壁部19内の温湿度検知手段16に流れ込むことを抑制できる。   Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 4-6, the 2nd partition wall part 19 has the upper surface wall part 19a which covers the upper surface of the temperature / humidity detection means 16, the radiator side wall part 19b which covers the side surface by the side of the radiator 6, and heat dissipation. It is formed from the anti-heat-dissipator side wall part 19c which covers the side surface on the opposite side of the device 6. Specifically, the second partition wall portion 19 extends from the casing portion 18, which is the outer periphery of the air blowing means 9, in the direction of the second air inlet 1 b and has a substantially U-shaped wall portion having an open bottom surface. It is. The substantially U-shaped wall portion includes an upper surface wall portion 19 a that covers the upper surface of the temperature / humidity detection means 16, a radiator side wall portion 19 b that covers the side surface on the radiator 6 side, and a side surface opposite to the radiator 6. It is formed from three wall parts with the anti-radiator side wall part 19c to cover. That is, a part of the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 flows into the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 in the substantially U-shaped second partition wall portion 19, and the second partition wall. The first partition wall 17 provided between the radiator 6 and the temperature / humidity detection means 16, which is a heat insulating means, and the direction of flowing from the lower surface of the part 19 to the heat absorber 8, and the second partition wall 19 Is sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 into the air passage part 20 which is a space surrounded by the radiator side wall part 19b which is a part of the air flow and the casing part 18 which is the outer peripheral part of the air blowing means 9. Since a part of the air flows and the flow direction from the lower surface opening 20b of the air passage portion 20 to the heat absorber 8 becomes substantially the same, the air in the air passage portion 20 as the heat insulating means is supplied to the second partition. It can suppress flowing into the temperature / humidity detection means 16 in the wall part 19.

また、図4に示すごとく、第2の仕切壁部19である放熱器側壁部19bの下端部は、温湿度検知手段16の下端より下に位置し、第2の仕切壁部19である反放熱器側壁部19cの下端部は、温湿度検知手段16の下端より上に位置した構成としたものである。具体的には、第2の仕切壁部19は、送風手段の外周であるケーシング部18から、第2の吸気口1bの方向に延びた、下面が開口した略コの字形状の壁部である。この略コの字形状の壁部のうち、放熱器6側の側面を覆う放熱器側壁部19bの下端部は、温湿度検知手段16の下端より下に位置し、放熱器6の反対側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cの下端部は、温湿度検知手段16の下端より上に位置するものである。つまり、放熱器6の反対側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cの下端部は、放熱器6側の側面を覆う放熱器側壁部19bの下端部より、上に位置するものである。   Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower end portion of the radiator side wall portion 19 b that is the second partition wall portion 19 is located below the lower end of the temperature / humidity detection means 16, and is opposite to the second partition wall portion 19. The lower end portion of the radiator side wall portion 19 c is configured to be located above the lower end of the temperature / humidity detecting means 16. Specifically, the second partition wall portion 19 is a substantially U-shaped wall portion extending from the casing portion 18 which is the outer periphery of the air blowing means toward the second air inlet 1b and having an open bottom surface. is there. Among the substantially U-shaped wall portions, the lower end portion of the radiator side wall portion 19b that covers the side surface on the radiator 6 side is located below the lower end of the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 and is opposite to the radiator 6. The lower end portion of the anti-heat radiator side wall portion 19 c covering the side surface is located above the lower end of the temperature / humidity detecting means 16. That is, the lower end portion of the anti-radiator side wall portion 19c covering the side surface on the opposite side of the radiator 6 is located above the lower end portion of the radiator side wall portion 19b covering the side surface on the radiator 6 side.

これにより、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部は、略コの字形状の第2の仕切壁部19内の温湿度検知手段16に流れ込み、第2の仕切壁部19の下面と、反放熱器側壁部19cの下端部、つまり、吸熱器8側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cの一部の両方より吸熱器8へと流れるので、更に、第2の吸気口1bから温湿度検知手段16に流れ込み易くすることができる。   As a result, a part of the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 flows into the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 in the substantially U-shaped second partition wall portion 19 and the second partition. Since both the lower surface of the wall portion 19 and the lower end portion of the anti-heat radiator side wall portion 19c, that is, a part of the anti-heat radiator side wall portion 19c covering the side surface on the heat absorber 8 side, flow to the heat absorber 8, further It is possible to facilitate the flow into the temperature / humidity detection means 16 from the second intake port 1b.

また、図3、5に示すごとく、温湿度検知手段16は、送風手段9であるケーシング部18の膨張部18aの下部に設けたものである。具体的には、送風手段9であるスクロール形状のケーシング部18は、上面には、略四角形状の吐出口を備え、この吐出口は本体ケース3の排気口2に連通している。そして、ケーシング部18の中央部は、本体ケース3の左右側面方向に、円弧形状に膨張した膨張部18aを備えている。この膨張部18aの下部に、第2の仕切壁部19に囲まれた温湿度検知手段16を設けている。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the temperature / humidity detection means 16 is provided at the lower part of the expansion part 18 a of the casing part 18 which is the air blowing means 9. Specifically, the scroll-shaped casing portion 18 serving as the air blowing means 9 includes a substantially rectangular discharge port on the upper surface, and the discharge port communicates with the exhaust port 2 of the main body case 3. And the center part of the casing part 18 is provided with the expansion | swelling part 18a expanded in circular arc shape in the left-right side surface direction of the main body case 3. FIG. The temperature / humidity detection means 16 surrounded by the second partition wall portion 19 is provided below the inflating portion 18a.

すなわち、円弧形状に膨張した膨張部18a下部に、第2の仕切壁部19に囲まれた温湿度検知手段16を設けているので、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部は、略コの字形状の第2の仕切壁部19内の温湿度検知手段16に流れ込み、第2の仕切壁部19の下面と、吸熱器8側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cの一部の両方より、ケーシング部18の膨張部18aの下部の略三角形状の空間部に流れるので、温湿度検知手段16から吸熱器8へ流れ易くすることができる。   That is, since the temperature / humidity detection means 16 surrounded by the second partition wall portion 19 is provided at the lower portion of the expansion portion 18a expanded in an arc shape, the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 Part flows into the temperature / humidity detection means 16 in the substantially U-shaped second partition wall 19 and covers the lower surface of the second partition wall 19 and the side surface on the heat absorber 8 side. Since it flows into the substantially triangular space part of the lower part of the expansion part 18a of the casing part 18 from both part of the side wall part 19c, it can be made easy to flow from the temperature / humidity detection means 16 to the heat absorber 8. FIG.

また、図3、5に示すごとく、温湿度検知手段16は、送風手段9であるケーシング部18より温湿度検知手段16の一部が突出した構成である。具体的には、送風手段9であるスクロール形状のケーシング部18の中央部は、本体ケース3の左右側面方向に、円弧形状に膨張した膨張部18aを備えている。この膨張部18aの下部から下方向に、第2の仕切壁部19に囲まれた温湿度検知手段16の一部が突出して設けられている。これにより、送風手段9によって第2の吸気口1bから吸い込まれた空気の一部は、略コの字形状の第2の仕切壁部19内の温湿度検知手段16に流れ込み、第2の仕切壁部19の下面と、吸熱器8側の側面を覆う反放熱器側壁部19cの一部の両方より、ケーシング部18の膨張部18aの下部の略三角形状の空間部に、直接流れるので、温湿度検知手段16から吸熱器8へ、更に流れ易くすることができる。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the temperature / humidity detection means 16 has a configuration in which a part of the temperature / humidity detection means 16 protrudes from the casing portion 18 which is the air blowing means 9. Specifically, the central portion of the scroll-shaped casing portion 18 that is the air blowing means 9 includes an expanding portion 18 a that expands in an arc shape in the left and right side surface directions of the main body case 3. A part of the temperature / humidity detection means 16 surrounded by the second partition wall portion 19 protrudes downward from the lower portion of the expansion portion 18a. As a result, a part of the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b by the air blowing means 9 flows into the temperature / humidity detecting means 16 in the substantially U-shaped second partition wall portion 19 and the second partition. Since it flows directly from both the lower surface of the wall portion 19 and a part of the anti-radiator side wall portion 19c covering the side surface on the heat absorber 8 side to the substantially triangular space portion below the expansion portion 18a of the casing portion 18, It can be made easier to flow from the temperature / humidity detection means 16 to the heat absorber 8.

また、図7に示すごとく、放熱器6は、複数の略薄板形状のフィン部6aと、このフィン部6aを連接固定する銅管部とから形成し、この銅管部のうち、フィン部6aから露出した円弧形状の円弧銅管部6bが第1の仕切壁部17と隣合う位置に構成したものである。具体的には、略縦長四角形で略薄板形状のフィン部6aは、本体ケース3の左右方向に所定の距離を有し、略縦長四角形の面同士が重ね合わせられるように並べられ、このフィン部6a内を、本体ケース3の左右水平方向にフィン部6aを直線状の直線銅管部6cが貫通し、この直線銅管部6cは、フィン部6aの上部から下部にかけて複数設けられ、直線銅管部6cのどちらか一方の端部で上下に位置する直線銅管部6c同士が円弧形状の円弧銅管部6bにより連通され、結果として、略波形状の一本の銅管部により、フィン部6aを連接固定しているものである。この銅管部の一方側の円弧銅管部6bが、第1の仕切壁部17と隣合う位置に構成したものである。これにより、第1の仕切壁部17と隣合う位置に、フィン部6aではなく、円弧銅管部6bが設けられるので、フィン部6aに比べ円弧銅管部6bでは空気との接触面積が小さいので、空気の温度上昇が小さくなり、結果として、第1の仕切壁部17の温度上昇を抑制することが出来る。   Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the radiator 6 is formed of a plurality of substantially thin fin-shaped fin portions 6a and a copper tube portion for connecting and fixing the fin portions 6a, and the fin portion 6a of the copper tube portions. The arc-shaped circular copper pipe portion 6 b exposed from the first portion is configured to be adjacent to the first partition wall portion 17. Specifically, the fins 6a having a substantially vertically long quadrangular shape and a substantially thin plate shape are arranged so as to have a predetermined distance in the left-right direction of the main body case 3 so that the faces of the substantially vertically long quadrilaterals overlap each other. A straight linear copper pipe portion 6c passes through the fin portion 6a in the horizontal direction of the body case 3 in the horizontal direction of the main body case 3, and a plurality of the straight copper pipe portions 6c are provided from the upper portion to the lower portion of the fin portion 6a. The straight copper pipe portions 6c positioned up and down at either one end of the pipe portion 6c are communicated with each other by an arc-shaped arc copper pipe portion 6b. The part 6a is connected and fixed. The arc copper pipe part 6 b on one side of the copper pipe part is configured at a position adjacent to the first partition wall part 17. As a result, the arc copper tube portion 6b is provided in the position adjacent to the first partition wall portion 17 instead of the fin portion 6a, so that the arc copper tube portion 6b has a smaller contact area with air than the fin portion 6a. Therefore, the temperature rise of air becomes small and, as a result, the temperature rise of the 1st partition wall part 17 can be suppressed.

また、図3に示すごとく、圧縮機5は、放熱器6の略下部に設けたものである。具体的には、圧縮機5は、温湿度検知手段16から離れた位置である放熱器6の略下部に設けたものである。これにより、圧縮機5の温度影響を抑制することが出来る。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the compressor 5 is provided substantially at the lower portion of the radiator 6. Specifically, the compressor 5 is provided at a substantially lower portion of the radiator 6 that is located away from the temperature / humidity detection means 16. Thereby, the temperature influence of the compressor 5 can be suppressed.
