CONSTITUTION: A first dust collecting filter 9 is provided in the air suction unit 7 of an air-conditioning machine, then, an ion electrode dust collecting unit 10 is provided immediately after the filter 9, next, an ozone generating unit 11 is provided to catch fine revitating dust, such as the smoke of cigarets and the like, by the ion dust collecting electrode unit 10 and effect deodorizing and sterilization by the ozone generating unit 11. A second dust collecting filter 12 is arranged immediately after the ozone generating unit 11 and, thereafter, an ozone cleaning catalyst 13 and an oxygen gas removing agent 14 are arranged to finish the deodorizing and sterilization by the ozone cleaning catalyst 13, eliminate the concentration of excessive ozone concentration and adsorb an acid gas accompanied by ozone oxidization by the acid gas removing agent 14. According to this method, the deodorizing operation and air cleaning operation can be effected simultaneously in addition to the temperature conditioning and humidity conditioning whereby a clean spatial atmosphere can be obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner such as a cooling / heating machine, a humidifier, a dehumidifier, etc., which is in harmony with the environment of a space in which humans are active, such as at home, office, various vehicles, The present invention relates to a new air conditioner.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Air conditioners such as air conditioners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, etc., which harmonize the environment of the space in which humans are active are well known and widely used. On the other hand, there is also known a deodorizing / purifying device for deodorizing and purifying the space in which humans are also active (for example, see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-143524).

[0003]

The above-mentioned known air conditioners or deodorizing / purifying devices have been commercialized individually, and in the known air conditioners, only the temperature environment in the space is harmonized to deodorize and deodorize air. There is a problem that purification is not performed at all, while there is a problem that the deodorization purification device performs deodorization and air purification under the indoor environment, but does not perform temperature control of the indoor environment at all. Therefore, there is a problem in that the known air conditioners or deodorizing and purifying devices are individually attached to each other, which requires a separate attaching operation, which is a waste of work.

Under the environment of a space where humans are active, it is necessary to purify air such as deodorization and sterilization as well as temperature control. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner equipped with a novel deodorizing / purifying device capable of performing both deodorization, air purification and air conditioning with a single air conditioner.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, an air conditioner such as an air conditioner, a humidifier, a dehumidifier, etc. is provided with a deodorizing device including an ozone generating part, an ozone purifying catalyst and an acid gas removing agent. It is characterized by being equipped with a purifying device. The deodorization purification device is also characterized in that an ozone concentration sensor is provided on the air discharge side behind the ozone purification catalyst and the acid gas removing agent. Deodorizing purification device
It is equipped with an independent dust collecting filter and an intake / exhaust fan. It is effective if the dust collecting filter and the intake / exhaust fan are shared.

[0006]

In the air conditioner equipped with the deodorizing and purifying device according to the present invention, not only temperature harmony or humidity harmony but also deodorizing and air purifying actions are performed at the same time, so that an extremely clean space environment can be obtained. Also, if an ozone concentration detection sensor is provided on the air exhaust side behind the ozone purification catalyst and acid gas remover, ozone in the purified air is always detected, so the adverse effects of miscellaneous gases or the effects of tobacco odor It is possible to prevent malfunction and perform air purification stably and safely without being affected.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows an air conditioner consisting of a ceiling-embedded air conditioner as an example, in which 1 is an air conditioner main body, and an air suction part 3 and an air blowing part 4 are provided in an outer case 2 thereof. It has and has the air conditioning equipment part 5 inside. Reference numeral 6 in the figure denotes a deodorizing purifying device, which is installed in the outer case 2 of the air conditioner 1 and has its air suction portion 7 and air blowing portion 8 of the air suction portion 3 and the air blowing portion 4 of each air conditioner. It is arranged according to the position.

FIG. 3 shows the details of the deodorizing and purifying device.
The air suction section 7 is provided with a first dust collecting filter 9, and the ion electrode dust collecting section 10 is provided immediately after this filter.
After that, it has an ozone generator 11 and has an ion electrode dust collector 1
By 0, fine floating dust such as cigarette smoke is captured, and deodorizing and sterilizing actions are performed in the ozone generating part. Immediately after the ozone generation unit 11, a second dust collecting filter 12 is arranged, and then an ozone purifying catalyst 13 and an acid gas removing agent 14 are arranged, and the ozone purifying catalyst 13 completes deodorization and sterilization.
The excess ozone concentration is erased, and the acid gas removing agent 14 adsorbs the acid gas accompanying the ozone oxidation. Air outlet 8
An intake / exhaust fan 15 is provided at the position, and an ozone concentration detection sensor 16 is provided between the fan and the acid gas removing agent 14. In the illustrated embodiment, the deodorizing and purifying device is provided independently of the air conditioner, and accordingly, the dust collecting filter and the intake / exhaust fan are also provided independently. Can be shared with that of the air conditioner.

[0009]

As described above, according to the air conditioner equipped with the deodorizing and purifying apparatus of the present invention, the deodorizing air can be purified simultaneously with the temperature and humidity of the indoor space.
In the past, separate installation work was required for air conditioning and deodorizing air purification, but the present invention also has the operational advantage of being able to install simultaneously.
