JP7308796B2 - Blower - Google Patents

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to a fan that forms a band-shaped airflow.

Fans installed in the ceiling for purposes such as exhausting polluted or hot air, blowing down warm air, controlling condensation, creating cool air, or assisting air conditioning have long, narrow rectangular outlets. Air is conveyed by a belt-like air current blown out from the

Such a blower may require functional adjustment depending on the installation situation or usage environment. For example, when the blower is used to create cool air, the blowing direction is adjusted so as to blow air where people are present. Such adjustment of the blowing direction is performed by changing the angle at which the mounting legs for mounting the blower on the ceiling surface and the main body provided with the fan for forming the airflow are connected. However, the method of adjusting the airflow direction by changing the angle at which the mounting leg and the main body are connected increases the load of the airflow direction adjustment work because it is necessary to change the direction of the main body itself.

Patent Literature 1 discloses an air blower having an air outlet with a louver whose angle can be adjusted. The blower disclosed in Patent Literature 1 can adjust the wind direction by changing the angle of the louvers.

JP 2019-82274 A

The blower disclosed in Patent Literature 1 can adjust the wind direction only within the movable range of the louver.

In this way, if a mechanism for adjusting the function is incorporated in the fan in advance, the adjustment range is fixed, and it may not be possible to respond to individual installation situations and usage environments.

Similar problems can also occur when additional functions such as measuring air conditions are provided. In other words, the pre-installed additional functions may not be able to cope with installation conditions and usage environments.

The present disclosure has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present disclosure is to obtain an air blower in which functions can be adjusted or added according to individual installation situations and usage environments.

In order to solve the above-described problems and achieve the object, the blower according to the present disclosure includes a fan that forms an airflow, a main body provided with an airflow outlet from which the airflow is blown, and a region adjacent to the air outlet. and an installed mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a device fixing portion fixed to the main body, and a component fixing portion to which a functional component for adjusting or adding functions is fixed.

According to the present disclosure, it is possible to obtain an air blower whose function can be adjusted or added according to individual installation situations and usage environments.

Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a blower according to Embodiment 1. FIG. The blower 10 has a body 1 with a fan that creates an airflow. A plurality of axial fans are linearly arranged in the main body 1 . The plurality of axial fans all blow in the same direction. Note that the fan included in the main body 1 may be a cross-flow fan. The main body 1 is provided with two elongated rectangular outlets 2. - 特許庁The two outlets 2 are arranged parallel to each other. The airflows blown out from each of the two outlets 2 merge to form a bundle of belt-like airflows. The main body 1 is installed on the ceiling surface using the mounting legs 3 .

At least one fitting 5 is installed in the inter-nozzle space 4 which is the region between the two outlets 2 . In other words, in fan 10 according to Embodiment 1, mounting bracket 5 is installed in a region adjacent to outlet 2 . 2 is a top view of the mounting bracket of the fan according to Embodiment 1. FIG. 3 is a side view of the mounting bracket of the fan according to Embodiment 1. FIG. The mounting bracket 5 includes a device fixing portion 5a fixed to the inter-nozzle space 4, and a component fixing portion 5b to which a functional component, which is a component for adjusting the function of the blower 10 or a component for adding a function, is fixed. have A method for fixing the device fixing portion 5a to the inter-nozzle space 4 is not limited to a specific method. That is, the device fixing portion 5a can be fixed to the inter-nozzle space 4 by a method such as welding, adhesion or screwing.

A through hole 51 to which a functional component is fixed is formed in the component fixing portion 5b. The functional parts are fixed to the through holes 51 of the part fixing portion 5b using bolts and nuts.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which louvers are installed in the fan according to Embodiment 1. FIG. By fixing the louver 6, which is a functional component for adjusting the blowing direction of the airflow, to the mounting bracket 5, the airflow blown out from the air outlet 2 changes its direction along the louver 6, and the airflow blows out from the air outlet 2. have airflows in different directions.

In the blower 10 according to Embodiment 1, the louver 6 having a shape suitable for the application can be fixed to the mounting bracket 5, so that the blowing direction of the airflow can be easily adjusted. Since the louver 6 can also be created by the user of the blower 10, it is easy to replace the attached louver 6 with another louver 6. FIG. In the blower 10 according to Embodiment 1, since the direction of the airflow is adjusted by replacing the louvers 6 , there is no need to provide the main body 1 with a mechanism for moving the louvers 6 .

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a state in which sensors are installed in the blower according to Embodiment 1. FIG. When using the blower 10 for the purpose of stirring indoor air, it may be operated in accordance with air conditions such as temperature, humidity, or carbon dioxide concentration, or may be interlocked with an air conditioner. In order to operate the blower 10 in accordance with the air conditions or interlock with the air conditioner, the blower 10 needs to have a sensing function for measuring the air conditions.

Since the blower 10 stirs the air in the room, the averaged air condition can be measured by sensing the airflow blown out from the blower 10 . Therefore, by attaching the sensor 7, which is a functional component that measures the air condition of the airflow, to the blower 10, the blower 10 can be operated or interlocked with the air conditioner based on the averaged air condition of the indoor air. can do. By operating the blower 10 based on the air conditions or interlocking it with an air conditioner, it is possible to improve energy saving and reduce the environmental load. In the blower 10 according to Embodiment 1, the sensor 7 can be replaced according to the application, so the sensor 7 can be selected according to the measurement item and measurement range of the air condition and fixed to the mounting bracket 5.
