The air supplied into the support frame 19 flows into the frame 2 through the connection port 36 in accordance with the opening and closing of the dampers 29, 29.

The operation of the system with the above configuration will be explained.

First, during heating, the opening/closing damper 2
9 and 29 in a closed state, and exhaust damper 3
1 is also kept closed and the refrigeration cycle is used as a heating circuit for operation.

At this time, indoor air is sucked into the lower side of the glass window 4 from the suction port 4 by the driving of the indoor blower 14, and this sucked indoor air is led to the indoor heat exchanger 13 through the communication hole 23 and the connecting passage 17. I'm scared.

Here, the indoor air is heated to become warm air, and this warm air is introduced into the casing 18 by suction from the blower 14.

The warm air introduced into the casing 18 passes through the communication holes 23 and blows out into the room from the air outlets 5 of the glass windows 3a to 3d. At this time, since the dampers 29, 29 are in the closed state, hot air does not flow into the frame 2 through the connection port 36, and does not blow out into the room from the air outlet 5 of the frame 2. In other words, due to the action of the damper 29, the glass window 3a is heated during heating.
Warm air is blown out only from the outlet 5 of ~3d, which can be a so-called bottom blowout.

Note that the number and size of the air outlets 5 may be changed depending on the situation using a damper or the like.

On the other hand, in the outdoor unit 12, the blower 1
6, outdoor air is introduced into the unit 12 through the suction port 33, passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 15, and is discharged outdoors.

Next, during cooling, the refrigeration cycle is used as a cooling circuit, and the dampers 29 and 29 are opened to start operation.

Therefore, as in the case of heating, room air is introduced into the unit 11 through the suction port 4 and becomes cold air by passing through the heat exchanger 13, and this cold air is supplied from the casing 18 to the support frame 19.

In this case, since the damper 29 is open,
The cold air supplied to the support frame 19 is supplied into the frame 2 through the connection port 36, and is blown out indoors from the air outlet 5 of the frame 2, while the cold air passes through the communication hole 23 to the lower side of the glass windows 3a to 3d. The air flowing into the room and being blown out into the room from the air outlet 5 at the lower side of the glass windows 3a to 3d is moved through the damper means as appropriate to the glass window 3a.
~3d is provided within the lower side of the frame body 2 so that cold air is selectively blown out only from the air outlet 5 of the frame 2 during cooling, so that the air is blown out from the top, thereby making it possible to efficiently cool the air. .

Next, if you want to ventilate, use the exhaust damper 3.
1 to open the exhaust hole 30, and in this state drive the outdoor blower 16, indoor air is led out from the indoor unit 11 through the exhaust hole 30 to the outdoor unit 12, and then to the outside through the exhaust hole 34. Ru.

In addition, by closing the suction port 4 with a damper and driving the indoor fan in this state, the outdoor air from the exhaust port 30 is forced to the indoor unit 11.
It is also possible to introduce fresh outside air into the room and blow the introduced fresh outside air into the room using the blower 14.

In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the air conditioner unit 8 is installed below the wetted edge, but it can also be applied to a balcony, a clothesline, etc. other than the wetted edge.

<Effects> As described above, the present invention provides a window that is movably supported on a frame provided in a house, forms a ventilation path in the frame and the lower side of the window, forms an air outlet in the frame, and A ventilation route is divided and formed at the bottom of the above-mentioned window with an outlet and an inlet, an air conditioner that generates cold or warm air is installed at a position lower than the floor of the house, and the ventilation route communicates with the above-mentioned inlet. is provided in communication with the suction side of the air conditioner, and a ventilation path communicating with the air outlet is provided in communication with the air outlet side of the air conditioner, so that when the air conditioner generates hot air, the air conditioner A damper means is provided which selectively connects the air outlet side to the air outlet on the lower side of the window, and selectively connects the air outlet side of the air conditioner to the air outlet of the frame when cold air is generated from the air conditioner. This is an indoor environment control system featuring:

Therefore, by installing an air conditioner using unused space in a house, the space inside the house can be effectively utilized.

In this case, even if the air conditioner is located at the wet edge of the house or under the floor, indoor air is sucked into the air conditioner through the inlet formed in the window, and cold or warm air that has passed through the air conditioner is sent to the frame or window. It can be supplied indoors through the formed air outlet, and the frame and window can be used as part of an air conditioner. Therefore, by incorporating the window or frame body configured according to the present invention into a house when the house is newly constructed or renovated, it is possible to save labor in installation work, and it is possible to improve the interior design of the room.

In addition, during heating, the present invention selectively blows hot air only from the window outlet, creating a so-called bottom blowout, and during cooling, cool air is selectively blown only from the frame's blowout outlet, so-called upper blowout. By using air vents, a part of the house can be used as part of an air conditioner and efficient heating and cooling can be performed.
