Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a blow-off duct device for an air conditioner that can achieve a high advertising effect, for example, at a storefront, inside a store, or at an exhibition hall. .

(b) Prior Art Conventionally, air conditioners have typically been used exclusively to adjust indoor air to a predetermined temperature and humidity. Also, for example. As shown in Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-4559, the intake grill of an air conditioner,
It has been proposed that a decorative panel be attached to the front of the main body where a blow-off grille and the like are arranged to obtain the desired decoration and advertising effect.

Furthermore, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-29409, a plurality of ducts are branched and connected from the side wall of the main duct connected to the blower in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the main duct and are arranged substantially parallel to each other. Each branch duct is formed as a cylindrical body with one end closed by a sheet material, and the top of each cylindrical body has a plurality of mounting holes for hanging along the longitudinal direction. A plurality of air outlets are provided in a staggered manner on the tube walls on both sides along the longitudinal direction of each cylindrical body, and each of these cylindrical bodies is connected to the air outlet of an adjacent cylindrical body. An air conditioning duct has been proposed in which the air conditioning ducts are arranged in a suspended manner so that they do not overlap.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention It is possible to obtain an advertising effect in stores, etc. by drawing advertising phrases, pictures, designs, etc. on the panels.

However, advertising using such conventional panels is difficult to attract attention because there is no movement.
You can only get the same advertising effect as putting up posters.

In addition, the above-mentioned system has a plurality of branch ducts that are branch-connected from the side wall of the main duct connected to the blower in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the main duct and are arranged almost parallel to each other, making it lightweight. Although it is inexpensive and easy to construct, since each branch duct is simply formed into a cylindrical shape, it does not attract the attention of viewers at stores, stores, or exhibitions, and therefore has poor advertising effectiveness. Moreover, one end of each branch duct is closed with a sheet material, and each branch duct has many through holes, so the wind is not concentrated in one place. As a result, it is dissipated into the surrounding area and is wasted, making it impossible to save energy.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention was created in consideration of the above circumstances, and is an energy-saving type that is easy to attract attention, obtains a higher advertising effect, and improves the sense of seasonality. It is an object of the present invention to provide a blow-off duct device for an air conditioner that makes the user feel more comfortable.

The air conditioner outlet duct device according to the present invention includes:
In order to achieve this purpose, a flexible film-made blow-off duct device is attached to the blow-off port of the air conditioner, and the blow-off duct of the blow-off duct device is made to resemble the body of an animal. The present invention is characterized in that the blow-off duct device exhibits various eye-catching movements due to the turbulence of the air flow blown out from the blow-off port of the blow-off duct.

In this case, the above-mentioned blow-off duct device may be detachably attached to the main body of the air conditioner, or alternatively, it may be fixed.

A synthetic resin film may be used as the film for the blow-off duct device, and a synthetic resin film reinforced with woven fabric, fibers, etc. may also be used.

It is also possible to cover the outlet of the blow-off duct device with a material having air permeability, such as a woven fabric.

The above-mentioned blow-out duct device can be made more eye-catching by, for example, resembling the body of an animal such as a crocodile's mouth, an elephant's trunk, or an octopus, or by resembling the main character doll of a popular animation. It is advantageous to do so.

In addition, if a constriction section is provided in the middle of the blow-off duct device, the flow path area is narrower than the opening area of the inlet, and the flow path area is smaller than the opening area of the outlet of the blow-off duct device. The air blowing out from the outlet is filled in the blow-off duct device so that the shape of the blow-off duct device is kept constant, and the outlet side portion of the blow-off duct device is moved due to the turbulence of the air flow in the part on the outlet side from the constricted part. It will be.

(f) Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

The main body 1 of this air conditioner has an air outlet 2 at the top of the front.
A blow-off duct device 3 made of synthetic resin film and resembling an elephant's head is removably attached to the blow-off port 2 with a stopper (not shown). Further, a suction port 9 is opened at the lower front of the main body 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the middle of the blow-off duct device 3, near the base of the elephant's trunk 4, there is an opening area smaller than the opening area of the inlet 5 of the blow-off duct device 3 and larger than the opening area of the outlet 6. A constriction section 7 having a small flow passage cross-sectional area is provided. This constriction part 7 is a partition membrane 7a that traverses the inside of the blow-off duct device 3.
and an aperture hole 7b having a predetermined opening area opened therein.

In addition, the outlet 6 of the blow-off duct device 3 is provided with a woven fabric 8 depicting the tip of an elephant's trunk in order to give a sense of mass to the tip of the elephant's trunk.
covered with.

In the air conditioner in which the blow-off duct device 3 is installed in this way, air is blown into the blow-off duct device 3 from the blow-off port 2 of the main body 1, and a portion of the air is dammed up by the throttle portion 7. 7 to the inlet 5 side, and the part of the blow-off duct device 3 from the constriction part 7 to the inlet 5 side can be inflated into the shape of an elephant's head. Since the internal pressure is almost constant in this part, the shape of the elephant's head is maintained almost constant.

On the other hand, from the throttle part 7 to the outlet 6 side, since the opening area of the outlet 6 is larger than the flow path cross-sectional area of the throttle part 7, turbulence occurs in the air flow, and due to this turbulence, the outlet 6 The side part, i.e. elephant trunk 4
will be moved up and down or left and right.

By moving the elephant's trunk 4 in this way,
The blow-off duct device 3 attracts people's attention and is extremely useful for attracting customers at the store and advertising within the store.

Note that in the above embodiment, the main body 1 of the air conditioner
Instead of this, the present invention provides an air outlet 2 at a position remote from the main body 1, and the air outlet 2 is connected to the main body 1 through a duct. Of course, it is also possible to apply it to a harmonizer by attaching it to the end of the duct.

(g) Effects of the invention As explained above, the air conditioner blow-off duct device of the present invention is formed of a flexible film, and the blow-off duct device is attached to the blow-off port of the air conditioner. The air outlet side of the outlet duct device is moved in various ways by the flow of air from the outlet, and since the outlet duct of the outlet duct device resembles the body of an animal, it easily attracts attention. Not only can it have a high advertising effect, but it also has the effect of improving the sense of the season and making you feel more comfortable, especially in the summer.

In addition, the air conditioner blow-off duct device of the present invention can guide hot and cold air from the air conditioner to the desired locations, eliminating waste as air conditioning is not performed in unnecessary locations, resulting in energy savings. It is possible.
