Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an integrated heat pump type air conditioner with an improved treatment mechanism for generated condensed water.

[Problems to be Solved by Prior Art and Ideas] The configuration of a conventional integrated heat pump type air conditioner will be described below with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 1 is an outer plate, and reference numeral 2 is a partition plate that partitions an indoor side 3 and an outdoor side 4. Indoor side 3 above
An indoor evaporator 5 is installed on the outdoor side 4, while an outdoor evaporator 6 is installed on the outdoor side 4.
Further, a drain plate 7 is installed from the indoor side 3 to the outdoor side 4.

In the above configuration, condensed water 8 generated from the evaporators 5 and 6 during cooling and heating is discharged to the outdoor side 4 via the drain plate 7.

However, with this configuration, for example, in conceptual housing such as apartments and condominiums, the drain water 8 flows down into the downstairs rooms, which poses a problem.

The present invention was developed based on the above points, and the purpose is to use an integrated heat pump system that eliminates the need to discharge drain water to the outside and makes it possible to utilize the drain water effectively. Regarding air conditioners.

[Means for solving the problem] In other words, the integrated heat pump type air conditioner according to the present invention has a condensed water storage tank that collects condensed water from the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger, and has a A condensed water treatment mechanism is provided which includes a motor, a disc fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor, and a casing that covers the disc, and an open part is formed in the casing so as to face the outdoor heat exchanger, Splashing the condensed water splashed up by the disk through the opening onto the outdoor heat exchanger,
A condensed water pipe that introduces the condensed water splashed up by the disk into the indoor heat exchanger is connected to the casing, and the condensed water is splashed onto the outdoor heat exchanger during cooling, and transferred to the indoor heat exchanger during heating. It is characterized by being treated by splashing condensed water.

[Function] In other words, by installing a condensed water treatment mechanism equipped with a disk that can rotate forward and backward in the condensed water storage tank, and controlling the rotating direction of the disk as appropriate, the condensed water can be used for outdoor heat exchange during cooling. When heating, it is supplied to the indoor heat exchanger via the condensing pipe.

[Effects of the invention] Therefore, there is no need to directly discharge condensed water whether during cooling or heating, and the conventional problems can be solved and the condensed water can be used effectively.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an integrated heat pump type air conditioner according to this embodiment. In the figure, reference numeral 101 is a condensed water storage tank, and reference numeral 102 is an indoor side 103 and an outdoor side 10.
This is a partition plate that separates 4. An indoor heat exchanger 105 is installed on the indoor side 103, and an outdoor heat exchanger 106 is installed on the outdoor side 104.

A condensed water treatment mechanism 111 is installed above the condensed water storage tank 101 on the indoor side 104. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, this condensed water treatment mechanism 111 includes a drive motor 112 and a disk 11 fixed to a rotating shaft 112A of the drive motor 112.
3 and a casing 114 that covers the disc 113, and a condensed water pipe 115 is connected to the upper end of the casing 114. The condensed water pipe 115 connects to the indoor heat exchanger 105.
It is connected to a water storage box 116 installed at the upper end of the tank. As shown in FIG. 4, this water storage box 116 is provided with a spraying mechanism 117 and a wind shield plate 118 attached thereto. The drive motor 112 is capable of forward and reverse rotation, and during cooling operation it rotates in the direction shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. 3, and during heating operation it rotates in the direction shown by the broken line arrow in the figure.

The operation will be explained based on the above configuration. First, the case of cooling operation will be explained. During cooling operation, condensed water 121 is generated from the indoor heat exchanger 105, as shown in FIG. The generated condensed water 121 flows into a condensed water storage tank on the outdoor side. At this time, the drive motor 112 of the condensed water treatment mechanism 111 rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure, and the disc 113 also rotates in the same direction accordingly. Due to this action, the condensed water treatment mechanism 111 exhibits a splash function and sprays the condensed water 121 onto the outdoor heat exchanger 106. The sprayed condensed water 121 is transferred to the outdoor heat exchanger 106
Evaporates at Therefore, condensed water 121 is not directly discharged.

Next, the case of heating operation will be explained with reference to FIG. 5. Outdoor heat exchanger 106 during heating operation
Condensed water is generated. Condensed water generated 121
is accumulated in the condensed water storage tank 101. At that time, the drive motor 112 of the condensed water treatment mechanism 111 is
Rotates in the opposite direction when cooling. Along with this, the disk 113 also rotates in the same direction, sucking in the condensed water 121 in the condensed water storage tank 111, and flows it into the water storage box 116 provided at the upper end of the indoor heat exchanger 105 via the condensed water piping 115. supply and condensed water 121
is sprayed onto the indoor heat exchanger 105 via a spraying mechanism 117 installed in the water storage box 116. The sprayed condensed water 121 is evaporated in the indoor heat exchanger 105, and the steam is supplied indoors by an indoor blower (not shown) to humidify the room. Therefore, there is no need to directly discharge the condensed water 121 during heating, and it can be used effectively.

According to this embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.

(1) Condensed water treatment mechanism 1 that functions as a splasher during cooling and as a pump during heating.
11, it is not necessary to directly discharge condensed water during both cooling and heating, and it can be used to humidify the room during heating.

(2) Also, by spraying condensed water 121 on the outdoor heat exchanger 106 during cooling and on the indoor heat exchanger 105 during heating, each heat exchanger 105 and
06 performance can be improved, and as a result, the cooling/heating performance can be improved.
