JPS60111831A - Cooling and heating room air conditioner which rotates main body thereof - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve energy efficiency and reduce cost by a method wherein constituting equipments are incorporated into and accommodated in an outer casing while the equipments are permitted to be changed in the arrangements thereof in accordance with the purpose of use of the machine. CONSTITUTION:The outer casing 1, accommodating the main body of the air conditioner incorporated with a compressor 4, a condenser 5, an evaporator 6, ventilating devices 7, 8 or the like is attached to the frame of window or a wall. Air inlet and outlet ports are provided at the outdoor side of the casing while a decorative front grille 3 is attached openably and detachably to the indoor side of the casing. The casing is constructed so that the inner walls of the main body and the outer casing separate the evaporator side and the condenser side air-tightly. When the machine is used for room cooling, the evaporator 6 is arranged in the indoor side and the compressor 4, the ventilating motor 9 and the condenser 5 are arranged in the outdoor side. When the machine is used for room heating, the front grille 3 is removed or opened and the main body of the air conditioner is pulled out to a position whereat the main body can be turned, then, it is turned by half turns and is inserted into the outer casing. The con denser 5, the compressor 4 and the ventilating motor 9 may be located at the indoor side by closing the front grille.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Conventionally popular room air conditioners for both cooling and heating use heat pumps that utilize changes in the state of refrigerant.
Thermal energy that is three times the amount of electricity input can be used for heating, so it is clean and safe and can be used at the same price as gas, oil, etc., and it lasts for 3 to 4 months compared to when a room air conditioner is used only for cooling. It has recently become popular due to its advantage that the period of cooling and heating is more than double compared to the cooling and heating period.
And 11" It changes the flow of refrigerant, and the evaporator on the indoor side during cooling acts as a condenser during heating, supplying warm air into the room. Unlike conventional air conditioners, in addition to the refrigerant circuit's switching pulp and two evaporation nozzles, the cold air circuit's wind cylinder is also used for the hot air circuit, so unlike those used exclusively for cooling, it is necessary to use one with a high heat resistance. There are many problems, such as the disadvantage that it is expensive due to the

The present invention aims to reduce the above-mentioned drawbacks by developing a device that is inexpensive and has few failures.It reduces the flow of refrigerant without impairing the characteristics of the heat pump. It is possible to switch between 2' and
Examples will be given and explained below.

The air conditioner main unit (hereinafter referred to as the main unit), which incorporates the compressor, condenser, evaporator, ventilation device, etc., is housed in a box or installed on a window frame or wall, and an air inlet/outlet is provided on the outside. The decorative front grill can be opened, closed, or removed on the indoor side, and the main body and the inner wall of the outer box are separated into the evaporator side and the condenser side. A soft sponge, etc. should be used at the contact points between the main body and the outer box, and between the main body and the front grille to maintain airtightness, and a sheet of soft continuous air gas should be attached to the inside of the Ai single-sided grille to prevent dust, etc. in the air. Make it work to remove etc.

When used for cooling, the evaporator is placed on the indoor side, and the compressor, ventilation motor, and condenser are placed on the outdoor side4. When used for heating, the front grill must be removed or opened, and the air conditioner itself can be opened. If you pull it out to the position where it can be rotated, turn it half a turn, put it in the outer box, and close the front grill, the condenser, compressor, and ventilation motor will be on the indoor side, so it can be used with the air conditioners that are commonly used today. It is also more efficient by 500 to 1,000 watts of energy than one that uses heat radiation from a condenser, so it has the advantage of not requiring the use of electric heat for heating.

In addition, even existing window air conditioners can be used as cooling/heating air conditioners by using a separate outer box and modifying the hjj side grilles using this method, which is highly effective as a core.

Claims (1)

[Claims] It consists of an air conditioner main body (hereinafter referred to as the main body) that integrates a compressor, condenser, evaporator, ventilation device, etc., an outer box, and a decorative grille on the guide side.The outer box has an air entrance and exit in the outdoor part. , the decorative front grill is installed on the indoor side so that it can be opened, closed, or removed, and when the main unit is inserted, the partition between the evaporator side and the condenser side and the inside of the outer box create an airtight seal between the indoor side and the outdoor side. By using a vortex structure that shuts off heat, the main unit can be rotated half a turn, and when the evaporator is indoors, it is used for cooling, and the condenser is used indoors, without changing the direction of refrigerant flow or the electric circuit. A rotating room air conditioner that can be used for heating when inside.
