Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an air-conditioning circulator used for circulating indoor air during room heating and cooling.

[0002]

[Prior art and problems]

 In recent years, in buildings and other structures, air conditioning systems (cooling and heating devices) have been embedded in the ceiling so that the entire room can be cooled and heated (Fig. 2). By the way, in this type of air-conditioning system, warm air stays near the ceiling during heating.Therefore, heating underneath where heating is actually needed, especially underfoot, is not sufficiently performed, and the heating effect is significantly reduced. There was a problem that caused it.

For this reason, conventionally, a large blower is built into the air conditioner to increase the warm air discharge speed, and the warm air discharge angle is adjusted by adjusting blades. In addition to the increase in size and cost, it was not possible to obtain sufficient heating effect and heating efficiency, which eventually resulted in insufficient comfort and energy saving.

The present invention solves the problems existing in the prior art as described above. By improving the air conditioning efficiency and the air conditioning effect in the room, the comfort is improved and the energy is saved, and the air conditioner is downsized. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an air-conditioning circulator capable of achieving cost reduction.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The air conditioner circulator 1 according to the present invention is provided with a ventilation pipe part 2 having an upper end 2u and a lower end 2d opened, and a blower 3 for generating an air flow F from above or below or from below the ventilation pipe part 2. Is provided and the entire appearance is configured as a figurine M that can be installed in the room R.

It is desirable that the circulator 1 is entirely shaped into the foliage plant P, the stem portion Px of the foliage plant P 1 is formed into the ventilation pipe portion 2, and the blower 3 is built in the flower pot portion Py.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the air conditioner circulator 1 of the present invention, the appearance is modeled as an ornamental plant P or the like that can be installed indoors, and thus can be used as a normal ornament and the decorativeness of the room R is enhanced.

On the other hand, at the time of heating, air is blown by the blower 3 built in the flower pot part Py, and an air flow F is generated from above to below the ventilation pipe part 2. As a result, the upper air (warm air) in the room R is sucked in from the upper end 2u of the ventilation pipe section 2 and discharged from the lower end 2d. Therefore, even if an air conditioner is installed on the ceiling, warm air does not stay near the ceiling, and the heating efficiency and heating effect of the entire room R by forced convection can be improved, and warm air can be stored in a necessary place below the room R. It is sent, and for example, local heating of the feet is performed.

[0009]

【Example】

 Next, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration of the air conditioning circulator 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

The circulator 1 is formed by modeling the entire foliage plant P. In this case, the stem portion Px of the ornamental plant P is configured as the ventilation pipe portion 2 by using a pipe material having an open upper end 2u and a lower end 2d. That is, the stem portion Px has an appearance like a stem, and is provided with necessary branch portions Pe ... And leaf portions Pr ... And a ventilation passage S is provided inside.

The lower end of the stem portion Px is fixed to the upper surface of the flower pot portion Py, and the opening at the lower end 2d of the ventilation pipe portion 2 communicates with the inside of the flower pot portion Py. The inside of the flower pot part Py is hollow, and the side face Ps is provided with an exhaust port Pw formed by a plurality of slits and the like.

Further, the flower pot part Py is sealed except for the exhaust port Pw and the opening at the lower end 2d of the ventilation pipe part 2, and the blower 3 is arranged inside. The blower 3 includes a motor 11 and a fan 12, and the fan 12 is arranged so as to face the exhaust port Pw. In addition, 13 is a flower pot part Py, and the power cord led out to the exterior.

Next, the usage method and operation of the air conditioning circulator 1 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, the circulator 1 is installed, for example, at an arbitrary place in the room R in which the air conditioner K is embedded in the ceiling surface. In this case, by directing the exhaust port Pw in a necessary direction, it is possible to perform local heating for warming the feet and the like. Further, since the circulator 1 also functions as the foliage plant P, it is possible to further enhance the decorative property, environment and atmosphere of the room R by installing it.

When the motor 11 is operated by inserting the power cord 13 into a power outlet (not shown), air is exhausted from the exhaust port Pw to the outside and a negative pressure is applied in the flowerpot Py. The air flow F flowing from the top to the bottom is generated in the ventilation passage S of the ventilation pipe portion 2.

Therefore, the upper air (warm air) in the room R is sucked in from the upper end 2u of the ventilation pipe portion 2 and discharged from the lower end 2d. That is, the warm air A discharged from the air conditioner K on the ceiling surface is sent to a necessary place below the room R without staying near the ceiling. This enhances the overall heating effect in the room R due to forced convection, and facilitates local heating of the feet and the like.

Although the embodiments have been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited to such embodiments. For example, although an ornamental plant was illustrated as an ornament, it can be similarly applied to any ornament such as a sculpture. Although the circulator is effective for heating, it can be used for cooling as well. In this case, the air flow from the bottom to the top may be generated in the ventilation pipe section by reversing the motor of the blower. In addition, the detailed configuration, shape and the like can be arbitrarily changed without departing from the scope of the present invention.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the circulator according to the present invention is provided with the ventilation pipe section having the upper and lower ends opened, and the blower for generating the air flow from the upper side to the lower side or the lower side to the upper side of the ventilation pipe section. Since the whole is configured as a figurine that can be installed indoors, the following remarkable effects are achieved.

By improving the air-conditioning efficiency and air-conditioning effect of the required place, it is possible to improve comfort and save energy.

It is possible to reduce the size and cost of the air conditioner.

Since it can be used also as an indoor ornament, decorativeness, environment and atmosphere can be enhanced, and especially in the case of an ornamental plant, the stem and the flowerpot can be used as functional parts.
