Abstract

PURPOSE:To permit a hot air rising upwardly through a ventilation clearance to be discharged to the outside directly without the chance of entering into a building, by opening or closing an air outlet port with a damper, the air outlet port being defined to open upwardly in the uppermost part of air ventilating clearance, i.e., a ridge of roof. CONSTITUTION:An air outlet port 8 is defined in the top end of roof ventilation clearance to communicate with the outside, and a plate 9 is attached to cover the air outlet port 8. The plate 9 has a bore defined therein in alignment with the air exhaust port 8. A damper 10 closing the air outlet port 8 is provided to the plate 9, the damper 10 is adapted to open and close by a control from outside the room. In the summer season, the hot air rising upwardly through the ventilation clearance is discharged to the outside through the air outlet port 8 by opening the damper 10. The hot air is discharged to the outside through a ventilating port 12 defined in a ridge cover 11, and thereby maintaining a rather cool atmosphere inside the building.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to further enhance the effects of summer air cycle houses. Air cycle houses have ventilation layers on the exterior walls and roof surfaces, and in the winter, warm air warmed by sunlight is brought into the building, and in the summer, the rising hot air is released to the outside through shed ventilation holes or various ventilation devices. Houses are designed to be cool and cool, but in the summer, the hot air that rises through the ventilation layer is taken into the building and then released to the outside through the shed ventilation, so the size of the shed ventilation or ventilation is important. Depending on the performance of the device, hot air may not be completely released outside and may remain inside the building. In order to eliminate this drawback, this invention is intended to directly release the hot air rising in the ventilation layer to the outside without having to take it into the building.

Especially in the summer, when the sun's altitude is high, the hot air that rises through the roof ventilation layer becomes very high temperature, so discharging this hot air to the outside at the top of the ventilation layer will significantly improve the functionality in the summer. be.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment. The roof ventilation layer 2 is provided between the roof exterior material 1 and the heat insulating material 3, and communicates with the lower part of the shed and the shed soil. The air intake port 6 is a hole through which hot air rising in the roof ventilation layer is taken into the shed. The hot air coming in through the air intake port 6 is distributed throughout the building, providing warmth, since the shed ventilation openings are closed in winter.

In the summer, we try to release hot air outside by opening the ventilation holes in the hut, but depending on the ventilation holes, some of the hot air tends to remain inside the building without being completely released outside. Therefore,
A ventilation hole 8 communicating with the outside is opened at the top of the roof ventilation layer, and a plate 9 is attached to cover the ventilation hole 8. A hole is pre-drilled in the plate 9 at the same position as the ventilation port 8. The plate 9 is equipped with a damper 10 that can close the ventilation opening 8, and the damper 10 can be opened and closed by controlling from indoors. Further, a ridge cover 11 is provided that can cover the entire structure to prevent rain and dust from entering through the ventilation opening 8, and a ventilation opening 12 that allows air to circulate is provided at the lower part of the ridge cover 11.

Let's take a look at the functions of an air cycle house configured in this way. In winter, when the control is operated indoors, the damper 10 is closed and the ventilation opening 8 is blocked. Therefore, the warm air warmed by sunlight and rising inside the ventilation layer 2 enters the cabin through the air intake port 6 without being released to the outside. In summer, by opening the damper 10, the hot air rising in the ventilation layer 2 is released to the outside through the ventilation opening 8, and the ridge cover 1
The air is discharged to the outside from the ventilation opening 12 provided in the building 1, and the inside of the building is kept even cooler without entering the inside of the shed.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment. In this example, the ridge cover 1
A check valve 13 that can only be opened outward is attached to the outside of a ventilation port 12 provided at the bottom of the air vent 1. Since this check valve 13 covers the ventilation port 12, it closes when pushed inward by external wind, preventing wind from blowing in, thereby preventing rain and dust from entering. The check valve 13 is opened to the outside by the pressure of the hot air rising in the ventilation layer and the negative pressure of the external wind, and can discharge the hot air in the ventilation layer to the outside.

FIG. 3 shows a third embodiment. In this embodiment, as in the second embodiment, a ridge cover is designed to prevent wind from blowing in from the outside, and to apply pull-out pressure only by negative pressure. At the same time as the ventilation opening 12, the ridge cover 11 is provided with a ventilation opening 14 on the inside upper part of the ventilation opening 12, and a blowing prevention wall 15 is provided inside the ventilation opening 14, and a blowing prevention wall 1 is also provided on the plate 9.
6 is provided. This prevents the wind from blowing through the inside of the ridge cover 11 and allows the wind to escape as shown by the arrow, so negative pressure can be used effectively and rain and dust can be prevented from blowing in.

As shown in the three examples above, the air cycle house allows the hot air rising in the ventilation layer to be taken directly into the cabin in the winter to ensure the warmth of the building, and to be released directly to the outside in the summer. It is.
