Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly to an air conditioner that utilizes solar heat.

During the summer, people often feel uncomfortable and have difficulty sleeping due to high humidity at night.

This invention uses an extremely small amount of energy by filling a heat collector with a desiccant and using a blower to circulate the indoor air at night to dehumidify the room.During the day, solar heat is used to regenerate the desiccant. The objective is to provide an air conditioner capable of air conditioning at night.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the appearance of an air conditioner according to the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes a box-shaped heat sink, and a plurality of partition plates 12 are arranged inside thereof to form a wind passage 13.

A blower unit 14 is connected to the air passage 13 of the heat sink 11.

FIG. 2 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the connecting portion between the heat sink 11 and the blower unit 14. As shown in FIG.

As shown in the figure, communication holes 15a, 15 communicating with the air passage 13 are provided at the connection portion of the heat sink 11 with the air blowing unit 14.
b is drilled.

The inside of the blower unit 14 is divided into an inflow section 17a by a partition plate 16.
and an outflow section 17b, and an inflow section 17b.
A blower 18 is installed inside each of the outflow portions 17a and 17b.

Reference numeral 19 is a motor that rotationally drives the blower 18 .

An inlet 20 is provided on both side walls 14a and 14b of the blower unit 14, and the inlet 20 communicates with the inlet 17a and the outlet 17b, respectively.
22a and 22b have an inflow duct 21a and an outflow duct 2lb, respectively, formed in the connection walls of the ducts 22a and 22b, which are connected to the indoor side.

The inlet 20a and the inlet duct 21a, and the outlet 20b and the outlet duct 21b can be switched open and closed, respectively.

For this purpose, for example, the inlet 20 a and the inlet duct 21

The air passage 13 of the heat sink 11 is filled with a desiccant 24 such as silica gel.

Further, the upper surface of the heat sink 11 is covered with a transparent glass plate 25.

The operation of the air conditioner according to the present invention having such a structure will be explained.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the use of the air conditioner according to the present invention, in which the heat sink 11 is installed on the roof R with the transparent glass plate facing toward the sun S, and the inlet duct 21a and the outlet duct 21a are connected to each other.

With the air conditioner installed in this way, at night the air conditioners 23a and 23b are connected to the inlet 2 as shown by the solid line in Figure 2.

, the outflow duct 21b is swung to the open position, and the blower 18 is driven.

This removes the humid air inside the room} 22 a
It enters the inflow part 17a through the communication hole 15a, and then enters the communication hole 15a.
and passes through the ventilation passage 13 of the heat sink 11.

When passing through the air passage 13, moisture in the air is removed by the desiccant 24.
The air absorbed and dehumidified enters the outflow portion 17b through the communication hole 15b, and is further sent into the room by the blower 18 through the duct 22b.

By circulating indoor air through the heat sink 11 in this manner, dehumidification can be performed.

Next, during the daytime, the plates 23a and 23b are swung to positions where the inlet duct 21a and the outlet duct 21b are closed, and the inlet 20a and outlet 20b are opened.

Subsequently, when the blower 18 is driven, air is sucked into the inflow portion 17H from the inlet 20a, and flows into the air passage 13 of the heat sink 11 through the communication hole 15a.

In addition, sunlight enters the top surface of the heat sink 11 through the transparent glass plate 25, and the heat from the sunlight and the inflowing air remove moisture in the desiccant 24.
is regenerated.

The desiccant 24 is regenerated and the humid air flows through the outflow section 17.
b is discharged into the atmosphere through an outlet 20b.

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to regenerate the desiccant using solar heat during the day, and then dehumidify indoor air by passing it through the desiccant at night.

The desiccant can be used for a long period of time, and during dehumidification and desiccant regeneration operations, it is only necessary to rotate the blower, and no other power is required.

Therefore, dehumidifying operation can be performed with extremely little energy, and the product price is also low.
