Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioning system (cooling / heating method) for a golf driving range.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional air conditioning system for a golf driving range, particularly an air conditioning system, employs the method shown in FIGS. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the air conditioner is of a stationary type or a hanging type, and the nozzle of the air conditioner is arranged on the head or overhead of the player (golfer). Then, the cold air blown out (blown out or jetted) from the nozzle is blown down from above the player's head, or is blown onto the head, upper body, etc. (hereinafter, simply referred to as a blown down method. ) Is adopted. In addition, a method of changing the nozzle position, that is, the bending direction of the nozzle, and using it in various directions in a stationary state (method shown by a broken line on the first floor of FIG. 7)
Is being done. It should be noted that, in some of the sensors, a method in which the nozzle captures the movement of the player and the nozzle rotates (moves), a method in which the nozzle automatically rotates, or the like is adopted. Like the example, it is done by the method of spraying.

In the spraying-down system detailed above, as shown in the drawing, the spraying-down system is designed to spray down from a considerably distant place in order to secure a swing area for the player.
Also, since it is the cold wind that is blown down, the structure is such that it concentrates on the head and shoulders of the body. Therefore, the sensational cooling effect cannot be expected as expected, and the player feels the heat.
It is obvious that the heat is felt especially at the driving range where the open system is adopted. Another problem is the drop in customer numbers during the midsummer.

As an improvement, the present applicant has already proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 5-136309 a cooling system for a golf driving range and a nozzle device for the cooling system. The gist of the invention is that the tip of a pipe connected to an air conditioner rises from the pipe and cool air is blown from the feet of the player toward the body.

[0005]

Since the invention of the above-mentioned applicant's application is configured to inject the cool air upward from below the body, it is possible to fully enjoy the sensation of the cold air. I am very pleased. However, in terms of improving versatility, there is room for further improvement, and as a result of studying the simplicity, convenience, and versatility in actual construction, there is some room for improvement. Therefore, the present applicant provides, as an additional application, an air conditioning system for a golf driving range that is easy to construct or construct and has convenience.

[0006]

Therefore, the present invention aims at facilitating construction or construction, and improving versatility of an air conditioning system, from large-scale golf driving ranges to small-scale golf driving ranges. The following configuration was adopted for the purpose of providing an air conditioning system for a golf driving range that can accommodate a wide range.

That is, the air-conditioning system for a golf driving range of the present invention comprises a pipe reaching a swing plate of the driving range,
The pipe is composed of a rising pipe having an ejection port toward the body of the rising player from the tip of the pipe, and various air conditioners such as a stationary air conditioner or a spot air conditioner provided at the base end of the pipe.

[0008]

Operation: The operation of the present invention (supply of cold air, jetting method)
Will be explained. First, when the player reaches the swing plate of the practice field, it is said that the stationary air conditioner or the spot air conditioner (various air conditioners including cooling and heating) is operated via a manual switch or a sensor. The cold air generated by the air conditioner (including warm air “warm air”) is turned on, but
Let me explain with cold wind. ) Reaches a predetermined rising pipe or each rising pipe through the control of the switching valve and the pipe. Since the start-up pipe is on the floor surface on the front side or the back side of the player, the cold wind (cold air) blows up from the feet of the player toward the body from the ejection port of the start-up pipe. Almost the entire body of the player (of course
There may be one side of the body, for example, the entire back side in FIG. ), And a substantially uniform cold air is supplied, and an efficient cooling effect can be expected.

Further, in the present invention, since the rising pipe is arranged at a portion which does not interfere with the swing of the player on the floor surface, there is no obstacle to the play (swing) at all. Further, it is naturally possible to provide a small-sized electric fan in the vicinity of the rising pipe or the ejection port of various structures or directly to achieve more efficient diffusion injection. When the player moves away from the swing plate, the switch of the air conditioner is turned on through a manual switch, a sensor, control of a switching valve, or the like.
It will be FF (of course you can also stop during play).
