Description

Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention relates to an air conditioner for two adjacent rooms in a building that are separated by a partition wall. A single capable indoor air conditioning unit can selectively air condition each unit individually or simultaneously under the same conditions, reducing the initial cost and running cost of air conditioning equipment, and improving air flow. The purpose is to provide an air conditioner that is good and has sufficient drainage measures.

Prior Art In a conventional air conditioner for a building, particularly a device consisting of an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner indoor unit, the air conditioner indoor unit A has one air inlet B and one air conditioner indoor unit, as shown in FIG. It is designed exclusively for one room and has two air outlet ports C, and requires two air conditioning indoor units when air conditioning two rooms. As proposed in Publication No. 56-63920, the space F between adjacent building units D and E
An air conditioner G is placed in the space, and air inlets J,
It has also been proposed to provide air outlets K, L and M to air condition two rooms at the same time.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention The type shown in FIG. 4 described above requires two air conditioning indoor units to air condition two rooms, and
The air conditioning outdoor unit for this purpose needs to have the capacity for two rooms, which has the disadvantage of increasing equipment costs.
In the type shown in Figure 5, the living room and dining room or the living room and the bedroom are adjacent to each other, as in a typical home, even if the two rooms are not used at the same time.
It was impossible to avoid the waste of operating a large-capacity air conditioner to air condition both rooms at the same time.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention, as described in the claims, provides a system for one room that is arranged on a partition wall that partitions two adjacent rooms. One air conditioning indoor unit having air conditioning capacity has a set of air inlets and air outlets that open separately in each of the rooms, and opens and closes each set of air inlets and air outlets. The shutter has a position where the air inlet and air outlet of one chamber are fully open and the air inlet and air outlet of the other chamber are fully closed, and a position where the air inlet and air outlet of both chambers are fully open. It is assembled in such a way that it can be placed in an intermediate position where both are half open, and
The chamber on the upstream side of the air outlet in the air conditioner indoor unit is separated from the chamber on the heat exchanger side by a partition in which only the air outlet of the fan is opened. By making it possible to selectively air-condition each room separately or to air-condition two rooms simultaneously under the same conditions using one air-conditioning indoor unit that has the air-conditioning capacity for one room, the initial cost required for air-conditioning equipment and Lower running costs,
In addition, the partition improves the flow of air and also allows the partition to be used as a drain receptacle, thereby improving the functionality of the air conditioning indoor unit.

Embodiment and its operation FIGS. 1 to 3 show an example of the implementation of the present invention, and the air conditioning indoor unit 1 shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 2, it is connected to an air conditioning outdoor unit 3 which is placed on a partition wall 2 that separates two adjacent rooms N and O of a building, and which has the air conditioning capacity for one room.

The air conditioner indoor unit 1 has a set of an air inlet 5 and an air outlet 6 on the machine wall on the N room side of the main body 4.
A set of an air intake port 7 and an air outlet 8 is provided in the machine wall on the room side.

A common shutter-like shutter 9 is disposed between the air suction ports 5 and 7, and the shutter 9 is configured to open the air suction port 5 fully as shown by the solid line in FIG. The air inlet 7 can be fully opened and the air inlet 5 can be fully closed, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. 1, and vice versa, as shown in FIG. As such, it is configured so that it can also occupy an intermediate position in which both the air suction ports 5 and 7 are in a half-open state.

Further, a common shutter-like shutter 10 is arranged for the air outlets 6 and 8 mentioned above, and the shutter 10 is configured to fully open the air outlet 6 and air the air, as shown by the solid line in FIG. The air outlet 8 can be fully closed as shown by the chain line in FIG. 1, and the air outlet 8 can be fully opened and the air outlet 6 can be completely closed as shown in FIG. 3. As such, it is configured so that it can also occupy an intermediate position where both air outlets 6 and 8 are in a half-open state.

The shutters 9 and 10 described above may be of a slit damper type or a register type, and may be replaced with any structure that can take the three modes of fully open, fully closed, and half open. It's okay.

Further, the shutters 9 and 10 may be driven by a manual mechanism or by a drive mechanism using a small motor.

As described above, in the main body 4 of the air conditioning indoor unit 1 in which the air inlets 5, 7 and the air outlets 6, 8 are provided, a heat exchanger 11 is arranged on the side of the air inlets 5, 7. A fan 12 is arranged downstream.

And the chamber 13 on the upstream side of the air outlets 6 and 8.
It is separated from a chamber 16 on the heat exchanger 11 side by a partition 15 in which only the air outlet 14 of the fan 12 is opened. Reference numeral 17 in FIG. 1 is a filter.

With the above-described configuration, when the air conditioner is operated with the shutters 9 and 10 in the positions shown by solid lines in FIG. 1, only the air in the N room flows as indicated by the arrow X, and the N room is air-conditioned. Conversely, when the shutters 9 and 10 are placed at the positions shown by the chain lines in FIG. 1, only the air in the O chamber flows as indicated by the arrow Y, and the O chamber is air-conditioned.

When the shutters 9 and 10 are placed in the positions shown in FIG.
The air flows as follows, and room A and room B are air-conditioned at the same time under the same conditions.

During the above-mentioned air conditioning, a partition 15 is provided in the main body 4 of the air conditioning indoor unit 1 on the upstream side of the air outlets 6 and 8, and a partition 15 is provided on the upstream side of the air outlets 6 and 8, and a heat exchanger 11 is connected to the chamber 13 on the upstream side of the air outlets 6 and 8. Since it is separated from the side chamber 16,
Both the chambers 13 and 16, that is, the air intake ports 5 and 7 side and the air outlet ports 6 and 8 side, can be maintained in a static pressure state, and air can flow smoothly without causing backflow of air. .

Moreover, the above-mentioned partition 15 opens only the air outlet 14 of the fan 12 on the upstream side of the air outlets 6 and 8, and completely blocks off the chamber 13 and the chamber 16 from other parts, so that heat exchange is possible. It functions as a drain receiver to prevent drain adhering to the vessel 11 from scattering from the air outlet ports 6 and 8.

Effects of the Invention The present invention has the configuration and operation described above, and is capable of selectively air-conditioning two adjacent rooms separately using one air-conditioning indoor unit having the air-conditioning capacity of one room. This has the effect of allowing rooms to be air-conditioned under the same conditions at the same time, and as a result, the initial cost and running cost required for air conditioning equipment can be reduced.

In addition, the presence of the partition can maintain a good flow of air inside the air conditioning indoor unit during air conditioning, and also has the effect of functioning as a drain receptacle to prevent drain generated in the heat exchanger from scattering from the air outlet. It also has
