Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the flow rate of air passing through a heat collector, which collects both the atmospheric heat and the solar heat, and consequently enhance its heat collecting efficiency by a structure wherein doors, each of which is freely open by wind, are provided on the side plates of the heat collector. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of doors 6 are provided on the side plates 3 of a heat collector 2. The door 6 is equipped with fulcrum pins 7, which are protruded rightward and leftward, located at the positions between the center of gravity of the door and the upper end of the door 6 and inserted in fulcrum pin sockets 8 provided in the interior of the side plate 3 of the heat collector opposite to the fulcrum pins 7. When wind blows in the direction vertical to the surface of the heat collector 2, the wind past through the heat collector 2 pushed the doors 6 to open them outward. When wind blows in the direction nearly parallel to the surface of the heat collector 2, the windward doors 6 are pushed to be open inward, while the leeward doors 6 are pushed to be open outward. As a result, the wind press-opens the doors 6 on the side plate 3 of the heat collector on the windward side and at the same time passes through the heat collector 2. In addition, because the doors close themselves by gravity, when no wind blows, the draft effect is also accelerated.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention utilizes natural energy such as solar heat Heat collection devices that utilize natural energy such as solar heat and atmospheric heat have been known. However, in the conventional case, it was not aesthetically pleasing because it was installed on the roof of a house. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, it is conceivable to install a heat collector along the wall surface of the house. In FIG. 6, reference numeral 1 denotes an outdoor unit incorporating a compressor, a condenser (not shown), and the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes a heat collector with a built-in diaphragm device (not shown), which is attached to a wall 4 of a house by a side plate 3 of the heat collector.

Further, the outdoor unit 1 and the heat collector 2 are connected by a connecting pipe 5. Further, 6 is a hot water storage tank, which stores hot water heated by the outdoor unit 1.

In the above-described configuration, when there is almost no wind, the presence of the collector side plate 3 promotes the draft effect, thereby improving the efficiency of heat collection from the atmosphere. However, when there is a wind, the heat collector side plate 3 blocks the ventilation, so there is a problem in that the efficiency of collecting heat from the atmosphere is lower than in the case of conventional roof installation.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and aims to improve the heat collection efficiency of a heat collector when there is wind outdoors.

- Structure of the Invention In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a door on the side plate of the heat collector that can be automatically opened and closed by wind. This configuration increases the amount of air passing through the heat collector.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, 2 is a heat collector with a built-in expansion device (not shown), and a plurality of doors 6 are provided on the side plate 3 of the heat collector.
is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the heat collector side plate a has a post 7 that protrudes from side to side between the center of gravity of the door 6 and the upper end of the door 6. The provided post holder is inserted into the opening 8.

In the above configuration, the door 6 is in a closed state when there is no wind. In this case, as in the case of the conventional example, all the doors 6 of the heat collector side plates 3 are in a closed state, so that the draft effect is promoted and the efficiency of heat collection from the atmosphere is improved.

Next, a case where there is wind outdoors will be explained. First, as shown in FIG. 3, when wind blows from a direction substantially perpendicular to the surface of the heat collector 2, the wind that has passed through the heat collector 2 blows through the door provided on the side plate 3 of the heat collector. Push 6 outward. Therefore, compared to the conventional case, the amount of air passing through the heat collector 2 is significantly larger, and the efficiency of collecting heat from the atmosphere is improved. Further, when the wind becomes almost calm, the door 6 automatically closes due to gravity. Next, the fourth
As shown in the figure, when the wind blows from a direction almost parallel to the surface of the heat collector 2, the wind that comes along the wall of the house is directed to the door on the windward side of the two heat collector side plates 3. Push the door 6 inward and push the door 6 on the leeward side outward. Therefore, in the present invention, the wind that conventionally flowed along the surface of the heat collector 2 without almost passing through the heat collector 2 pushes open the door 6 of the windward side heat collector side plate a. and further passes through the heat collector 2. Therefore, the efficiency of collecting heat from the atmosphere is significantly improved compared to the conventional method. Also, in Fig. 2, the pillar 7 is replaced by the door 6.
Since it is provided between the center of gravity of the column and the upper end of the door 6, the support column 7
Since the door 6 can be opened by the wind more easily than when it is provided at the upper end of the door 6, the efficiency is 1.1° even in a light breeze. As in the case of FIG. 3, the door 6 automatically closes due to gravity when the wind approaches calmness.

Effects of the Invention The present invention provides one or more doors on the side plates of the heat collector that are located at both longitudinal ends of the heat collector and protrude toward the heat collection installation surface, and the center of gravity of the door and the door Since it has a structure in which support columns protruding from side to side are provided between the upper end of the holder and the upper end of the holder, the following effects can be obtained.

In other words, in a wall-mounted heat collector that takes into consideration the aesthetics of the house, the door on the side panel of the heat collector opens automatically when there is wind outdoors, making it more efficient at collecting heat from the atmosphere than in the past. It is often done. Especially when the wind blows along the wall of the house,
In the past, almost no wind passed through the heat collector, but in the present invention, since a door is provided on the side plate of the heat collector, wind passes through the heat collector, making it possible to significantly improve efficiency. Furthermore, when the wind outside is almost calm, the door automatically closes due to gravity, which promotes the draft effect as in the past.

Further, as mentioned above, since the door is opened and closed by the action of wind pressure and gravity, the structure is simple and inexpensive.
