Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To carry out comfortable air conditioning by sending out humidified warm air during the heating operation. SOLUTION: An opening part 5a linked to a lower part on the other side biased to the front of the body is provided at an air guide part 5 in which a room air fan 6 is housed and an air guide path is formed to guide intake air sucked from a suction port 10 on one side of the front of the body 1 to a blowoff port 11 at an upper part on the other side. An air shielding member 12 which has a water absorbable extended part with a lower end thereof extended downward is mounted on the opening part 5a. In the heating operation, the extended part is immersed into condensed water (a) dripped onto a bottom plate 2 from an outdoor side heat exchanger 7 to evaporate the condensed water absorbed by the air shielding member 12 by a negative pressure with a room air fan 6. Thus, the blown air can be humidified to be sent out at the blowoff port 11.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS With the above structure, during a heating operation,
An air conditioner capable of delivering humidified warm air to achieve comfortable air conditioning.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1A and 2B, 1
Is a wind-type air conditioner main body, 2 is a bottom plate, 3 is a partition plate erected on the bottom plate 2, and the partition plate 3 partitions the bottom plate 2 into an indoor side and an outdoor side. I have.

On the indoor side, there is provided an indoor heat exchanger 4 facing a suction port 10 near one side of the front surface of the main body 1,
An indoor blower fan 6 is provided opposite to the indoor heat exchanger 4, and accommodates the indoor blower fan 6, and forms a wind guide path 5 that leads to an air outlet 11 on the upper side on the other side of the front surface of the main body 1. An outdoor heat exchanger 7 is provided on the outdoor side, facing the air outlet on the back side of the main body 1, and an outdoor blower fan that is opposed to the outdoor heat exchanger 7 and covered with a wind guide plate. 8, a motor for driving the same outdoor blower fan 8 and the indoor blower fan 6 is provided, and a compressor 9 is provided.

The air guide 5 is provided with an opening 5a connected to the lower part on the other side near the front surface of the main body 1. The opening 5a is made of, for example, a polyolefin-based hydrophilic porous synthetic resin. A wind-absorbing member 12 having a water-absorbing property and a wind-shielding function is mounted, and an extension extending downward at a lower end of the wind-shielding member 12 during a heating operation is moved from the outdoor heat exchanger 7 to the bottom plate. 2
The condensed water a dropped on the upper surface is evaporated by the negative pressure of the indoor blower fan 6, and the blown air is humidified and sent out from the outlet 11. With this configuration, warm air that can be humidified with a simple configuration can be sent into the room to achieve comfortable air conditioning so that the humidity does not relatively decrease due to the heating operation.

A moving means is provided near the opening 5a for moving the extending portion of the wind shielding member 12 above the surface of the condensed water a or immersing it in the condensed water a.

By moving by elastic deformation by the moving means, during the heating operation,
The condensed water a dropped onto the bottom plate 2 is effectively absorbed, and the hot air to be evaporated indoors by the negative pressure of the indoor blower fan 6 and sent indoors can be effectively humidified. By the moving means, the extending portion of the wind shielding member 12 can be moved over the surface of the condensed water a, or can be smoothly elastically deformed and moved when immersed in the condensed water a. Therefore, according to the user's request, the air blown out to the room can be humidified or can be arbitrarily switched so as not to humidify.

Further, the moving means is provided with a support shaft 13 at the center.
a arm 13 having one end connected to the lower end of the wind shield member 12 and an operation lever (not shown) connected to the other end of the arm 13 and provided on the front surface of the main body 1 1B, the lower end of the wind shielding member 12 is moved above the water surface of the condensed water a by pulling the wire 14 as shown by an arrow in FIG. Same wire
By pressing 14, the lower end of the wind shielding member 12 is configured to be immersed in the condensed water a, thereby humidifying or not humidifying the blowing air to be delivered indoors. At the time of switching, the user can easily and accurately switch by the operation lever (not shown).

With the above structure, FIGS. 1A and 1
As shown in (B), during the heating operation, the condensed water a, which is sucked in from the suction port 10 and heat-exchanged by the indoor heat exchanger 4, is absorbed by the wind shielding member 12, The air conditioner is humidified by being evaporated by the negative pressure of the indoor blower fan 6 and sent out from the outlet 11 into the room to perform comfortable air conditioning.
