Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a temperature rise in a room and the nonuniformity of an indoor hot heat distribution even when a desk worker does not use an air conditioner by changing over an air blow to an outlet port through which air is blown in a direction higher than a horizontal level, or to an outlet port through which air is blow in a direction lower than the horizontal level. CONSTITUTION:When a desk worker desires to have cold air, a damper (blow change-over means) 4 is manipulated, and cold air is blown through an outlet port 2 which allows cold air to be blown in a direction lower than a horizontal level. Thereby, hot heat surroundings around the desk worked can be adjusted according to his preference. On the other hand, in the case where the desk worker does not desired to have cold air, or in the case where he is not at his desk, the damper 4 is manipulated, and cold air is blown into the whole air-conditining region through an outlet port 3 which allows cold air to be blown in a direction higher than the horizontal level. Thereby, cooling performance is reduced, and the nonuniformity of an indoor hot heat distribution an be prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to air-conditioned furniture such as desks and partitions that create a comfortable indoor space.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, furniture with air conditioners built into them has come into use for the purpose of making indoor spaces more comfortable. Hereinafter, an explanation will be given based on FIG. 2, taking a conventional air conditioner equipped furniture as an example.

That is, cold air is supplied from the cold air generator to the duct 101 in the Titajin 100 (through under the floor),
An office worker who works at a desk 102 placed in front of a partition 100 operates the damper 103 according to his/her preference and blows out cold air at an appropriate speed and volume from the outlet 104 to improve the efficiency of the office space. The idea was that the thermal environment could be controlled freely.

Problems that the invention aims to solve However, with this conventional configuration, when the office worker stops using the air-conditioned furniture, the cold air that was previously blown into the space stops, and the cooling capacity decreases accordingly. death,
The problem was that the room temperature rose or the temperature distribution inside the room became uneven.

In view of this problem, it is an object of the present invention to provide furniture with an air conditioner that does not cause the room temperature to rise and the temperature distribution in the room to become uneven even when the air conditioner is not in use.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an air outlet that blows air above the horizontal plane, an air outlet that blows air below the horizontal plane, and two types of air outlets. It is equipped with an air blowing switching means for switching the air blowing to.

Function: With this configuration, when the office worker desires cold air, he operates the ventilation switching means to blow air from the outlet that blows air downward from the horizontal plane, and when the office worker does not desire cold air, When the use of the air conditioner-equipped furniture is to be stopped, the air blowing switching means is operated to blow air from the outlet that blows air upward from the horizontal plane.

Example .

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be explained based on FIG.
Ru. As shown in the figure, the partition 1 has an air outlet 2 provided on the wall surface that blows air downward from the horizontal surface.
A Suita outlet 3 provided on the top surface blows air upwards from the horizontal plane, and a damper 4 that switches air blowing to the air outlet 2 and the air outlet 3 is provided. Further, cold air is supplied to the duct 6 in the partition 1 through under the floor.

According to the above configuration, desk 6 was purchased before partition 1.
When an office worker who works in the office wishes to receive cold air, he operates the ventilation switch 4, which is an air blowing switching means, to blow the cold air from the outlet 2 in a direction below the horizontal plane, that is, towards the office worker. Also,
When the office worker does not want cold air or does not work at the desk 6, the damper 4 can be operated to blow the cold air from the outlet 1 upwards above the horizontal plane, that is, to the entire air-conditioned area.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, when an office worker desires cold air, he or she can operate the damper to blow air from the outlet that blows air downward from the horizontal plane, thereby blowing air around the office worker. The thermal environment can be adjusted to suit the worker's preference. In addition, if the office worker does not want cold air or is not working, the damper is operated to blow air from the outlet that blows air above the horizontal plane to the entire air conditioning area, reducing the cooling capacity. In addition, it is possible to prevent the indoor temperature distribution from becoming uneven. −
