Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to housing units. Specifically, it can be used in an air conditioning system for a residential unit having a structure including columns and beams.

[Background technology]

BACKGROUND ART In recent years, in the construction of houses and the like, housing units such as capsule units or panel units that have been manufactured in advance at a factory are transported to a construction site, where they are combined to form living rooms.

Conventionally, when installing an air conditioner in such a house, an air conditioner is installed in each room as a simple air conditioning equipment. Furthermore, in order to improve operating efficiency and consolidate installation space, central air conditioners are also used in which multiple indoor units share one outdoor unit.

However, air conditioners that circulate these refrigerants require an indoor unit for each room, and require complicated piping to carry the refrigerant, so construction by professionals is necessary.

Therefore, an integrated central air conditioning unit that integrates various air conditioning functions is configured with branch-like ducts that lead to each room in the building, and air that has been conditioned to a predetermined condition is supplied to each room through the duct. Attempts have been made to air condition the room.

This integrated central air conditioning system eliminates the need for indoor units for each room and refrigerant piping to each room, and because air ducts are simpler to construct and install than refrigerant piping, weight and cost reductions are achieved. . In addition, since the air itself is supplied, in addition to the cooling, heating, and dehumidification that are performed by a normal air conditioner, it can also perform ventilation and ventilation.
It has the advantage of being able to intensively and efficiently produce highly conditioned air, including sterilization, adjusting ingredients such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, and adding fragrance.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, in the above-described integrated central air conditioning system, when constructing the air duct, ordinary pipes must be connected in sequence, making the connection work cumbersome.

Furthermore, these connection operations must be performed separately following the assembly of structures such as walls and floors, which inevitably reduces work efficiency.

In addition, the pipes must be buried within the structure of the building, such as walls or floors, so that they are not exposed inside the living room and spoil the appearance, making the work more troublesome.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a housing unit that solves these conventional problems and achieves air conditioning with a simple structure and construction.

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in the present invention, at least a portion of at least one of the columns and beams of the housing unit is configured as an air duct for air conditioning.

Specifically, in a housing unit having a structure including columns and beams, at least a portion of at least one of the columns and beams is used to guide air from an air conditioner to an indoor space surrounded by the structure (hollow). It is characterized by being formed into a cylindrical duct.

Further, the structure is characterized in that the air conditioner is built into one of the surfaces of the structure.

[For production]

Since at least a portion of at least one of the columns and beams forming the structure of the housing unit is formed into a hollow cylindrical duct, air from the air conditioner is supplied to the indoor space surrounded by the structure through the duct. be done. Therefore,
Since there is no need to provide a special air duct, the conventional work of connecting pipes and burying pipes can be eliminated.

Therefore, air conditioning can be achieved with a simple structure and construction.

In addition, if the air conditioner is built into one of the surfaces of the structure, there is no need to secure installation space for the air conditioner indoors or outdoors.
Not only is it convenient to use, but it also has the advantage of not damaging the appearance.
