明細書 空調服ュニッ卜 技術分野  Description Air conditioning clothing unit Technical field
本発明は、 高温の環境下でも快適に過ごすことのできる空調服ユニットに関す る' 背景技術  The present invention relates to an air-conditioning clothes unit that can be comfortably used even in a high-temperature environment.
夏などの暑い季節に、 暑さを解消する手段として現在最も広く用いられている のはエアーコンディショナーである。 これは、 部屋の空気を直接冷やすものであ るため、 暑さを解消するという点においては、 非常に有効である。  Air conditioners are currently the most widely used means of relieving heat during hot seasons such as summer. This is very effective in reducing heat because it directly cools the air in the room.
しかしながら、 エア一コンディショナーは、 高価な装置であり、 世帯普及率は 高くなつてきたが、 一つの世帯の各部屋ごとに普及するまでには至っていない。 また、 エア一コンディショナーは大量の電力を消費するため、 エアーコンディ ショナ一が普及することによって社会全体の電力消費も増え、 しかも、 発電の大 きな割合を化石燃料に頼っている現状では、 エアーコンディショナ一が普及する ことによって、 地球全体の温暖化につながるという皮肉な結果を招く。 また、 ェ ァーコンディショナーは、 部屋の空気そのものを冷却するので、 冷えすぎによつ て健康を損なうといった問題も考えられる。  However, although air conditioners are expensive equipment and the household penetration rate has been increasing, it has not yet spread to each room of one household. Also, air conditioners consume large amounts of power, so the spread of air conditioners will increase the power consumption of society as a whole, and at the same time, air-conditioners rely on fossil fuels for a large proportion of power generation. The widespread use of conditioners has the sarcastic effect of leading to global warming. In addition, since the air conditioner cools the room air itself, there is a possibility that the health may be impaired if the air conditioner is too cold.
上記問題を解決するために、 本発明者は、 暑い季節でも消費電力が少なく、 か つ快適に過ごすことのできる冷却衣服を案出している (P C TZ J P 0 1 / 0 1 3 6 0 ) 。 かかる冷却衣服は、 衣服と下着又は体との間に空気を流通させるため の流通路と、 衣服に一体的に設けられた送風手段とを備える。 この冷却衣服を着 用するだけで、 着用者は、 暑さを解消できる。  In order to solve the above problem, the inventor has devised a cooling garment that consumes less power and can be comfortably used even in a hot season (PCTZ J P011 / 0136). Such a cooling garment is provided with a flow passage for circulating air between the garment and the undergarment or body, and a blowing means provided integrally with the garment. By simply wearing this cooling garment, the wearer can eliminate the heat.
本発明者は、 この冷却衣服の着用による効果を多数のモニターで確認したとこ ろ、 冷却効果以外にも下記のごとく種々の効果が確認された。  The present inventor has confirmed the effects of wearing this cooling garment on a large number of monitors, and found various effects other than the cooling effects as described below.
1 . 無駄な汗がでないので体力を消耗しない。  1. There is no wasted sweat, so you don't waste your energy.
2. 汗が水分として下着や体に残らないので、 汗臭くならず、 ある種の皮膚病に 一 2003/008397 2. Sweat does not remain on the underwear or body as water, so it does not smell sweat and is used for certain skin diseases One 2003/008397

も効果がある。 Is also effective.
3 . 冷却衣服では、 主に汗の気化熱で体を冷やす。 このため、 個人個人や、 その 時の運動量によって発汗量が異なるが、 空気を流通路に十分に流通させて、 汗を すべて気化することができれば、 生理的に体が要求する冷却力口リ一に等しい冷 却を行うことができる。 したがって、 冷却衣服を着用すると、 生理作用により冷 却量をコントロールする理想的な冷却効果が得られる。  3. In cooling clothing, the body is cooled mainly by the heat of vaporization of sweat. For this reason, the amount of sweating varies depending on the individual and the amount of exercise at that time, but if air can be sufficiently circulated through the flow passage and all the sweat can be vaporized, the cooling power port required by the body physiologically is required. Cooling equal to Therefore, wearing cooling clothing provides the ideal cooling effect of controlling the amount of cooling by physiological effects.
上記のような効果があるので、 冷却衣服を広く普及させれば、 ほとんどクーラ一 を必要としなくなり、 地球環境保護に貢献するところ極めて大である。 Because of the above effects, if cooling garments are widely spread, they will almost never require coolers, which will greatly contribute to the protection of the global environment.
しかしながら、 上記の冷却衣服では、 送風手段が予め衣服に一体的に取り付け られているため、 衣服だけを自由に交換することはできず、 着用する時間や場所 等によっては冷却衣服がその使用環境にマッチしないということがある。  However, in the above-mentioned cooling garments, since the ventilation means is pre-attached to the garments in advance, it is not possible to freely change the garments alone. Sometimes there is no match.
一方、 上記の冷却衣服を広く普及させるためには、 冷却衣服を安価に製造でき ることが必要である。 また、 より冷却効果を上げるためには流通路内に流通させ る空気の流量を大きくする必要がある。 この場合、 空気の流量を大きくするため に送風手段を大型化したのでは、 冷却衣服のファッション性を損ねたり、 作業が しずらくなつたりする。 特に、 ファッション性の観点からは、 冷却衣服の上に、 例えば、 通気性のある又は通気をよくする工夫が施されている上着を着用するこ とができることが望まれる。 この場合、 かかる上着を冷却衣服の上に着用しても、 冷却衣服の機能が妨げられないようにしなければならない。 発明の開示  On the other hand, in order to spread the above-mentioned cooling garments widely, it is necessary to be able to manufacture cooling garments at low cost. In order to further increase the cooling effect, it is necessary to increase the flow rate of the air flowing through the flow passage. In this case, increasing the size of the air blowing means to increase the air flow would impair the fashionability of the cooling garment and make it difficult to work. In particular, from the viewpoint of fashionability, it is desirable to be able to wear, for example, a jacket having ventilation or a device for improving ventilation, on the cooling garment. In this case, it must be ensured that the function of the cooling garment is not disturbed even if such a garment is worn over the cooling garment. Disclosure of the invention

Further, in the first embodiment, a case is considered in which a jacket that has some air permeability or is devised to improve air permeability is used as the outerwear.
第一実施形態では、 空調服ユニット 1を、 ベストに適用した場合について説明 する。 この空調服ユニット 1の前側には、 ファスナー 1 1等の開閉手段が設けら れている。  In the first embodiment, a case where the air-conditioning suit unit 1 is applied to a vest will be described. An opening / closing means such as a fastener 11 is provided on the front side of the air conditioning clothing unit 1.
具体的に、 空調服ユニット 1は、 図 1、 図 2、 図 3及び図 4に示すように、 服 地部 1 0と、 服地部 1 0の裏面の所定部位に取り付けられた複数のスぺーサ 2 0 により形成された、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着との間に空気を流通させるための流 通路 7 0と、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着との間の空間を上下二つに仕切るための仕 切手段 8と、 仕切手段 8に設けられた、 流通路 7 0内に空気の流れを強制的に生 じさせるための送風手段 6と、 送風手段 6に電力を供給するための電源ュニット 9 0と、 服地部 1 Qの上部及び下部に設けられた空気流通部とを備える。 ここで、 空気流通部は、 空気流入部 4 0と、 空気流出部 5 0とからなる。 空気流入部 4 0 は、 服地部 1 0の上部に設けられた空気流通部であって、 外部の空気を流通路 7 0内に取り入れるためのものであり、 空気流出部 5 0は、 服地部 1 0の下部に設 けられた空気流通部であって、 流通路 7 0内の空気を外部に取り出すためのもの である。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 includes a clothing portion 10 and a plurality of speakers attached to predetermined portions on the back surface of the clothing portion 10. A flow for allowing air to flow between the clothing portion 10 and the body or underwear formed by the A passageway 70, a partitioning means 8 for partitioning a space between the clothing portion 10 and the body or underwear into upper and lower parts, and an air flow in the flow passageway 70 provided in the partitioning means 8. It has a blowing means 6 for forcibly generating air, a power supply unit 90 for supplying electric power to the blowing means 6, and air circulating sections provided on the upper and lower portions of the cloth portion 1Q. Here, the air circulating section includes an air inflow section 40 and an air outflow section 50. The air inflow section 40 is an air circulation section provided above the cloth section 10 and is for taking in external air into the flow passage 70. The air outflow section 50 is a cloth section. An air circulating portion provided at the lower portion of the air passage 10 for taking out the air in the flow passage 70 to the outside.
詳しくは後述するが、 この空調服ユニット 1では、 送風手段 6によって空気流 入部 4 0から外部の空気を流通路 7 0内に取り入れ、 その取り入れた空気を流通 路 7 0内に体の表面に略平行に流通させることにより、 体の表面近傍における温 度勾配を大きくして、 体を冷却する。 さらに、 体からの汗と流通路 7 0内を流通 する空気とを接触させることにより、 体からの汗を気化させ、 当該気化の際に周 囲から気化熱を奪う作用を利用して、 体を冷却する。  As will be described in detail later, in the air-conditioning garment unit 1, the outside air is taken into the flow passage 70 from the air inlet 40 by the blowing means 6, and the taken-in air is placed in the circulation passage 70 on the body surface By flowing the fluid approximately parallel, the temperature gradient near the surface of the body is increased to cool the body. Further, by bringing sweat from the body into contact with air flowing through the flow passage 70, the sweat from the body is vaporized, and during the vaporization, the body takes advantage of the action of removing heat of vaporization from the surroundings. To cool.
服地部 1 0は、 図 2に示すように、 肩に対応する部分である上端部 1 0 a、 そ の上端部 1 0 aを除く上部 1 0 b、 略胴回りに対応する部分である中央部 1 0 c、 服地部 1 0の裾部である下部 1 0 dという四つの部分に分けられる。 服地部 1 0 の上部 1 0 b及び下部 1 0 dにはそれぞれ、 空気流通性のよいメッシュ状の素材 4 1 , 5 1が用いられている。 服地部 1 0の中央部 1 0 cには、 空気漏れの少な いシート状の素材 7 1が用いられている。 また、 服地部 1 0の上端部 1 0 aには、 どのような素材の布地 1 6を用いてもよい。  As shown in Fig. 2, the cloth material portion 10 has an upper end portion 10a corresponding to the shoulder, an upper portion 10b excluding the upper end portion 10a, and a central portion corresponding to substantially the waist. It is divided into four parts: 10 c, lower part 10 d which is the hem of the cloth part 10. For the upper part 10b and the lower part 10d of the cloth part 10, mesh materials 41, 51 having good air circulation are used, respectively. The central portion 10c of the clothing material portion 10 is made of a sheet-shaped material 71 with little air leakage. Further, cloth 16 of any material may be used for the upper end 10 a of the cloth 10.
また、 服地部 1 0の裏面には、 六つのスぺ一サ 2 0が取り付けられている。 具 体的には、 図 2に示すように、 服地部 1 0の右上の前部、 左上の前部、 右下の前 部及び左下の前部、 服地部 1 0の上後部及び下後部にそれぞれ、 スぺーサ 2 0が 設けられている。 ここで、 服地部 1 0の裏面の所定位置には仕切手段 8が取り付 けられるが、 この仕切手段 8の取り付け位置にはスぺーサ 2 0は設けられていな い。 各スぺーサ 2 0は、 服地部 1 0の裏面に糸で縫い付けられている。  In addition, six spacers 20 are attached to the back surface of the cloth part 10. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 2, the upper right front part, the upper left front part, the lower right front part and the lower left front part of the cloth part 10 and the upper rear part and the lower rear part of the cloth part 10 are shown in FIG. Each is provided with a spacer 20. Here, the partitioning means 8 is attached to a predetermined position on the back surface of the clothing portion 10, but the spacer 20 is not provided at the mounting position of the partitioning means 8. Each spacer 20 is sewn with a thread to the back surface of the clothing material portion 10.
スぺ一サ 2 0は、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着 9 1との間に空気を流通させるため の空間を確保するためのものである。 この空間は、 着用者が空調服ユニット 1を 着用したときに体又は下着 9 1の表面に略平行な空気の流通経路を構成する。 こ のとき、 服地部 1 0のシート状素材 7 1に設けられたスぺ一サ 2 0により、 流通 路 7 0が形成される。 そして、 服地部 1 0の上部 1 0 bのメッシュ状素材 4 1に 設けられたスぺーサ 2 0により空気流入部 4 0が形成され、 服地部 1 0の下部 1 0 dのメッシュ状素材 5 1に設けられたスぺ一サ 2 0により空気流出部 5 0が形 成される。 したがって、 流通路 7 0は、 空気流入部 4 0と空気流出部 5 0との間 に形成されている。 The spacer 20 is used to allow air to flow between the clothing section 10 and the body or underwear 91. This is to secure the space. This space forms a flow path of air substantially parallel to the body or the surface of the underwear 91 when the wearer wears the air-conditioning garment unit 1. At this time, the distribution channel 70 is formed by the spacers 20 provided on the sheet material 71 of the clothing portion 10. An air inlet 40 is formed by spacers 20 provided on the mesh material 41 of the upper part 10 b of the cloth part 10, and a mesh material 5 of the lower part 10 d of the cloth part 10 is formed. An air outflow portion 50 is formed by the spacer 20 provided in 1. Therefore, the flow passage 70 is formed between the air inflow portion 40 and the air outflow portion 50.
このように、 流通路 7 0は、 空調服ュニット 1内において、 服地部 1 0と体又 は下着 9 1との間に空気を流通させるための通路である。 かかる流通路 7 0は、 スぺ一サ 2 0をシート状素材 7 1の裏面に縫い付けることにより形成される。 シート状素材 7 1としては、 例えば、 ダウンジャケットの表地などに使われる 高密度布を用いる。 高密度布は、 通常の布と比べると高い密度で織られている。 空調服ユニット 1は、 体により温められて湿った空気を、 スぺ一サ 2 0により形 成される流通路 7 0内に流通させて、 空気流出部 5 0から排出することにより、 かかる空気を外気と絶えず置き換えていくものであるため、 空気が流通路 7 0内 を流通する途中で服地部 1 0から漏れないようにする必要がある。 高密度布は糸 の密度が高いため、 糸の間から外部へ漏れる空気の量が非常に少なく、 ほとんど の空気が流通路 7 0内を通って空気流出部 5 0に達し、 そこから外部に排出され る。 このような高密度布は、 各種の目的で製造されており、 安価で入手できる。 尚、 高密度布は空気流通性のよくないものであることが好ましいが、 具体的には、 高密度布として、 5 P aの圧力を加えたときに、 当該高密度布を単位時間、 単位 面積当たりに通過する空気の体積が 5 c c / c mV s e c以下であるものを用い る必要がある。  Thus, the flow passage 70 is a passage for allowing air to flow between the clothing portion 10 and the body or underwear 91 in the air-conditioning clothing unit 1. The flow passage 70 is formed by sewing the spacer 20 on the back surface of the sheet-shaped material 71. As the sheet material 71, for example, a high-density cloth used for a down jacket surface material or the like is used. High density fabrics are woven at a higher density than normal fabrics. The air-conditioning garment unit 1 circulates the humid air warmed by the body through the flow passage 70 formed by the spacers 20 and discharges the air from the air outlet 50. It is necessary to prevent the air from leaking from the cloth portion 10 while flowing through the flow passage 70 because the air is constantly replaced with the outside air. The high-density cloth has a high yarn density, so the amount of air leaking from between the yarns to the outside is very small, and most of the air passes through the flow passage 70 to reach the air outlet 50, and from there to the outside. Emitted. Such high-density fabrics are manufactured for various purposes and are available at low cost. It is preferable that the high-density cloth is not good in air circulation. Specifically, when a high-density cloth is applied with a pressure of 5 Pa, the high-density cloth is applied for a unit time and a unit. It is necessary to use air with a volume of air passing per area of 5 cc / cmVsec or less.
また、 シート状素材 7 1としては、 高密度布だけでなく、 実質的に空気が漏れ ないものであれば、 どのような素材でも用いることができる。 特に、 汚れを伴う 作業を行う際に空調服ユニット 1を使用する場合には、 シート状素材 7 1として は、 表面が滑らかなビニールやナイ口ン等、 吸水性のない素材又は撥水加工して ある素材を用いることが望ましい。 シート状素材 7 1に付いた汚れを容易に落と すことができるようにするためである。 また、 シ一卜状素材 7 1として吸水性の ある素材を用いると、 雨等でシート状素材 7 1が濡れたときに、 流通路 7 0内を 流通する空気がシート状素材 7 1に吸収された水分を蒸発するのに使用され、 体 からの汗は有効に蒸発できなくなってしまうからである。 これにより、 汚れが シート状素材 7 1にしみ込むことはなく、 また、 汚れを簡単に落とすことができ る。 この場合、 吸水性のない素材は通気性が悪く、 空調服ユニット 1内の湿気を、 当該素材を通して外部へ放散することはできないが、 湿気は送風手段 6によって 空気とともに流通路 7 0内を通って外部に排出されるので、 何ら問題はない。 次に、 スぺ一サ 2 0の構造について説明する。 第一実施形態では、 スぺーサ 2 0としてメッシュスぺーサ 2 0 aを用いる。 メッシュスぺーサ 2 0 aは、 図 5に 示すように、 網目状シ一卜 (網目状部材) 2 2と、 複数の凸部 2 3とを有する。 ここで、 各凸部 2 3は、 略半球形状に形成されている。 このメッシュスぺ一サ 2 0 aを製造するには、 軟質プラスチックの網目状シートを凸の金型と凹の金型の 間に入れて、 熱成形する。 これにより、 網目状シート上には、 その厚み方向に突 出した複数の凸部 2 3が形成される。 このように、 複数の凸部 2 3を有するメッ シュスぺ一サ 2 0 aは簡単に作ることができる。 Further, as the sheet-shaped material 71, not only high-density cloth but also any material can be used as long as it does not substantially leak air. In particular, when using the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 when performing work involving dirt, the sheet-shaped material 71 should be made of a non-absorbent material such as vinyl or nylon with a smooth surface, or water-repellent. It is desirable to use certain materials. Easily remove dirt from sheet material 7 1 It is to be able to do it. In addition, if the sheet-like material 71 is made of a water-absorbing material, when the sheet-like material 71 gets wet due to rain or the like, the air flowing through the flow passage 70 is absorbed by the sheet-like material 71. This is because it is used to evaporate the water that has been removed, and sweat from the body cannot be effectively evaporated. Thus, the dirt does not seep into the sheet material 71, and the dirt can be easily removed. In this case, the non-absorbent material has poor air permeability, and the moisture in the air conditioning clothing unit 1 cannot be radiated to the outside through the material, but the moisture passes through the flow passage 70 together with the air by the blowing means 6. There is no problem because it is discharged outside. Next, the structure of the spacer 20 will be described. In the first embodiment, a mesh spacer 20a is used as the spacer 20. As shown in FIG. 5, the mesh spacer 20a has a mesh sheet (mesh member) 22 and a plurality of convex portions 23. Here, each convex portion 23 is formed in a substantially hemispherical shape. In order to manufacture the mesh sizer 20a, a mesh sheet of a soft plastic is placed between a convex mold and a concave mold and thermoformed. Thus, a plurality of projections 23 projecting in the thickness direction are formed on the mesh sheet. Thus, the mesh sensor 20a having the plurality of convex portions 23 can be easily formed.
また、 スぺ一サ 2 0の厚さ (凸部 2 3の高さ) Wは 2 mm以上 3 0 mm以下で あることが望ましい。 スぺ一サ 2 0の厚さ Wが 2 mmより小さいと、 一定流量の 空気を流すためには、 空気の圧力をかなり高める必要があり、 実用的でないから である。 特に、 送風手段 6の周辺では空気の流れが大きいので、 送風手段 6の周 辺に設けられるスぺ一サ 2 0の厚さ Wは 5 mm以上であることが望ましい。 一方、 スぺ一サ 2 0の厚さ Wが 3 O mmより大きいと、 見栄えや着心地が悪くなり、 し かも空気が層流になって流通路 7 0内を流通するという問題が生じやすくなるか らである。 空気が層流になると、 流通路 7 0内において体側を流れる空気と服地 部 1 0側を流れる空気とが互いに混じらず、 大きな冷却効果を得ることができな くなる。 実際、 スぺーサ 2 0の厚さ Wとして最も好ましい範囲は、 3 mm以上 1 0 mm以下である。 第一実施形態では、 スぺーサ 2 0の厚み Wを約 7 . 0 mmと している。 尚、 層流発生の問題を解決するには、 例えば、 流通路 7 0内を流通す る空気を攪拌する空気攪拌手段を、 流通路 7 0内のところどころに設け、 これに より、 流通路 7 0内に空気の不規則な流れを発生させるようにしてもよい。 Further, the thickness W of the spacer 20 (the height of the convex portion 23) W is desirably 2 mm or more and 30 mm or less. If the thickness W of the spacer 20 is smaller than 2 mm, the air pressure must be considerably increased in order to flow a constant flow of air, which is not practical. In particular, since the flow of air is large around the blowing means 6, the thickness W of the spacer 20 provided around the blowing means 6 is preferably 5 mm or more. On the other hand, if the thickness W of the spacer 20 is larger than 3 O mm, the appearance and comfort are deteriorated, and the problem that air becomes laminar and flows through the flow passage 70 tends to occur. That's why. When the air has a laminar flow, the air flowing on the body side and the air flowing on the clothing portion 10 side in the flow passage 70 are not mixed with each other, and it is impossible to obtain a large cooling effect. In fact, the most preferable range for the thickness W of the spacer 20 is 3 mm or more and 10 mm or less. In the first embodiment, the thickness W of the spacer 20 is set to about 7.0 mm. In order to solve the problem of laminar flow generation, for example, air stirring means for stirring air flowing through the flow passage 70 is provided in some places in the flow passage 70, and Thus, an irregular flow of air may be generated in the flow passage 70.
六つのスぺーサ 2 0はそれぞれ、 服地部 1 0の裏面側から、 メッシュ状素材 4 1, 5 1、 シート状素材 7 1に縫い付けられる。 具体的には、 各スぺーサ 2 0に ついて、 まず、 スぺーサ 2 0の網目状シート 2 2を服地部 1 0の裏面に対向させ るようにして、 スぺーサ 2 0を服地部 1 0の所定位置に配置する。 そして、 例え ばミシン等を用い、 スぺーサ 2 0を服地部 1 0の裏面に縫い付ける。 このとき、 スぺーサ 2 0の端部だけを服地部 1 0に縫い付けるのが望ましい。 スぺ一サ 2 0 の縫合作業を容易に行うことができると共に、 空調服ユニット 1の外観上、 その 縫い目を目立たないようにできるからである。  The six spacers 20 are sewn to the mesh-like material 41, 51 and the sheet-like material 71, respectively, from the back side of the cloth part 10. Specifically, for each spacer 20, first, the mesh-like sheet 22 of the spacer 20 is made to face the back surface of the clothing portion 10, and the spacer 20 is attached to the clothing portion 20. It is arranged at a predetermined position of 10. Then, for example, using a sewing machine or the like, the spacer 20 is sewn to the back surface of the clothing material portion 10. At this time, it is desirable to sew only the end of the spacer 20 to the cloth material portion 10. This is because the stitching work of the spacer 20 can be easily performed, and the seam can be made inconspicuous in the appearance of the air-conditioning garment unit 1.
こうして、 六つのスぺ一サ 2 0が縫い付けられた空調服ユニット 1を着用する と、 凸部 2 3が下着 9 1又は体表に接するようになり、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着 9 1との間に流通路 7 0が確保される。 スぺーサ 2 0は、 空調服ュニット 1の服 地部 1 0と下着 9 1との間に空間を確保し、 スぺーサ 2 0内に空気を流通させる という目的を有する。 ここで、 凸部 2 3もメッシュであるため、 凸部 2 3が空気 の流通を妨げることはない。 尚、 スぺーサ 2 0には抗菌処理を施すことが望まし レ^ スぺ一サ 2 0は、 下着 9 1や体に直接接するので汗で汚れやすいからである。 空気流通部は、 流通路 7 0内の空気を外部に取り出すため又は外部の空気を流 通路 7 0内に取り入れるためのものであって、 服地部 1 0の上部 1 O b及び下部 1 0 dに設けられている。 具体的には、 空気流通部は、 スぺ一サ 2 0を空気流通 性のよいメッシュ状素材 4 1 , 5 1の裏面に縫い付けることによって形成される。 かかる空気流通部は、 空気流入部 4 0と空気排出部 5 0とから構成されている。 空気流入部 4 0は、 外部の空気を流通路 7 0内に取り入れるためのものであつ て、 服地部 1 0の上部 1 O bに設けられている。 具体的には、 空気流入部 4 0は、 スぺーサ 2 0をメッシュ状素材 4 1の裏面に縫い付けることによって形成される。 図 2の例では、 空気流入部 4 0を、 服地部 1 0の前側上部に二つ、 後側上部に一 つ、 合計三つ設けている。  In this way, when the air conditioner clothing unit 1 to which the six spacers 20 are sewn is worn, the protrusions 23 come into contact with the underwear 9 1 or the body surface, and the clothing fabric 10 and the body or underwear 9 A flow path 70 is secured between the two. The spacer 20 has a purpose to secure a space between the clothing base 10 and the underwear 91 of the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 and to allow air to flow through the spacer 20. Here, since the convex portion 23 is also a mesh, the convex portion 23 does not hinder the flow of air. The spacer 20 is desirably subjected to an antibacterial treatment, and the spacer 20 is in direct contact with the underwear 91 and the body, so that it is easily stained with sweat. The air circulating section is for taking out the air in the flow passage 70 to the outside or for taking in the external air into the flow passage 70, and includes an upper portion 1 Ob and a lower portion 10d of the cloth material portion 10. It is provided in. Specifically, the air circulating portion is formed by sewing the spacer 20 to the back surface of the mesh material 41, 51 having good air circulating property. The air circulating section includes an air inlet 40 and an air outlet 50. The air inflow portion 40 is for taking in outside air into the flow passage 70, and is provided in the upper portion 10 Ob of the clothing portion 10. Specifically, the air inflow portion 40 is formed by sewing the spacer 20 to the back surface of the mesh material 41. In the example of FIG. 2, a total of three air inflow portions 40 are provided at the front upper portion of the cloth material portion 10 and one at the rear upper portion.
尚、 スぺ一サ 2 0をメッシュ状素材 4 1の裏面に縫い付けることによって空気 流入部 4 0を形成する代わりに、 服地部 1 0の所定の端部、 例えば襟首や袖の部 分におけるスぺ一サ 2 0の開口端 (服地部 1 0と下着 9 1との隙間) ら、 空気 を流通路 7 0内に取り入れるようにしてもよい。 すなわち、 襟首や袖の部分を、 広い意味で空気流入部 4 0と考えることができる。 この場合、 スぺーサ 2 0の取 り付け位置は、 その空気を取り入れる部分まで引き延ばす必要がある。 このよう に、 襟首等の部分におけるスぺーサ 2 0の開口端を空気流入部 4 0として利用す る場合には、 服地部 1 0の上部 1 O bにメッシュ状素材 4 1を用いる必要がない ので、 空調服ュニット 1の外観上の違和感が少なくなるという利点がある。 In addition, instead of forming the air inflow portion 40 by sewing the spacer 20 to the back surface of the mesh material 41, a predetermined end portion of the cloth material portion 10, for example, a portion of a neck or a sleeve is formed. From the open end of the spacer 20 (the gap between the clothing material 10 and the underwear 91), air May be taken into the flow passage 70. In other words, the neck and sleeve portions can be considered as the air inflow portion 40 in a broad sense. In this case, it is necessary to extend the mounting position of the spacer 20 to the portion that takes in the air. As described above, when the open end of the spacer 20 at the neck or the like is used as the air inflow portion 40, it is necessary to use the mesh material 41 for the upper portion Ob of the clothing portion 10. Since there is no air-conditioning uniform 1, there is an advantage that the appearance of the air-conditioning uniform 1 is less unnatural.
空気流出部 5 0は、 流通路 7 0内の空気を外部へ排出するためのものであって、 服地部 1 0の下部 1 0 dに設けられている。 具体的には、 空気流出部 5 0は、 ス ぺ一サ 2 0をメッシュ状素材 5 1の裏面に縫い付けることによって形成される。 図 2の例では、 空気流出部 5 0を、 服地部 1 0の前側下部に二つ、 後側下部に一 つ、 合計三つ設けている。  The air outflow portion 50 is for discharging the air in the flow passage 70 to the outside, and is provided in a lower portion 10 d of the clothing portion 10. Specifically, the air outflow portion 50 is formed by sewing a spacer 20 on the back surface of the mesh material 51. In the example of FIG. 2, a total of three air outlets 50 are provided at the lower front part of the cloth part 10 and one at the lower rear part.
尚、 スぺ一サ 2 0をメッシュ状素材 5 1の裏面に縫い付けることによって空気 流出部 5 0を形成する代わりに、 服地部 1 0の所定の端部の裏面に取り付けられ たスぺ一サ 2 0の開口端から、 流通路 7 0内の空気を外部に取り出すようにして もよい。 すなわち、 この場合は、 かかる開口端が空気流出部 5 0となる。  In addition, instead of forming the air outflow portion 50 by sewing the spacer 20 on the back surface of the mesh-shaped material 51, a space attached to the back surface of a predetermined end of the cloth material portion 10 is used. The air in the flow passage 70 may be taken out from the opening end of the cavity 20. That is, in this case, such an open end becomes the air outflow portion 50.
仕切手段 8は、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着 9 1との間の空間を上下二つに仕切る ためのものであり、 図 1、 図 2、 図 3及び図 4に示すように、 帯状部材 6 9と、 仕切補助手段 9とを有する。 帯状部材 6 9は、 スぺーサ 2 0の厚さと少なくとも 同じ厚さを有し、 また、 帯状部材をその長手方向に垂直な平面で切ったときの断 面形状は略矩形状である。 かかる帯状部材 6 9は、 服地部 1 0の裏面であって シート状部材 7 1の下部に、 体の略胴回り方向に沿って一重巻に取り付けられて いる。 但し、 着用者がファスナー 1 1を容易に開閉することができるようにする ために、 帯状部材 6 9はファスナー 1 1及びその近傍には取り付けられていない。 また、 この帯状部材 6 9の材質としては例えばポリウレタン等が用いられており、 したがつて、 帯状部材 6 9はクッション性を有する。 帯状部材 6 9は、 服地部 1 0の裏面に着脱自在に取り付けられている。 例え ½!、 第一実施形態では、 帯状部 材 6 9を粘着テープ 6 4 aで服地部 1 0の裏面に取り付けている。  The partitioning means 8 is for partitioning the space between the cloth part 10 and the body or the underwear 91 into upper and lower parts, and as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, a band-shaped member is provided. 6 and a partition assisting means 9. The band-shaped member 69 has at least the same thickness as the spacer 20 and has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape when the band-shaped member is cut along a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The band-shaped member 69 is attached to the back surface of the clothing material portion 10 and below the sheet-shaped member 71 in a single winding along a substantially waist direction of the body. However, in order to allow the wearer to easily open and close the fastener 11, the band-shaped member 69 is not attached to the fastener 11 and its vicinity. Further, as a material of the band-shaped member 69, for example, polyurethane or the like is used, and accordingly, the band-shaped member 69 has a cushioning property. The band-shaped member 69 is detachably attached to the back surface of the clothing material portion 10. For example ½! In the first embodiment, the belt-shaped member 69 is attached to the back surface of the clothing material portion 10 with an adhesive tape 64a.
帯状部材 6 9は、 仕切手段 8としての役割を果たすだけでなく、 送風手段 8、 電源ュニット 9 0等を取り付けるための部材としての役割をも果たす。 すなわち、 ― 3 008397 The belt-shaped member 69 plays a role not only as the partitioning means 8 but also as a member for attaching the blowing means 8, the power supply unit 90, and the like. That is, ― 3 008397

図 3及び図 4に示すように、 送風手段 8の有する複数のプロペラ 6 0及び複数の モータ 6 2、 電源ユニット 9 0等は、 帯状部材 6 9の長手方向に沿っての所定位 置において、 帯状部材 6 9の内部に揷入されている。 この場合、 空気は、 帯状部 材 6 9の上側に位置する流通路 7 0とその下側に位置する流通路 7 0との間を複 数のプロペラ 6 0を介して流通することになる。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the plurality of propellers 60, the plurality of motors 62, the power supply unit 90, and the like included in the blowing means 8 are positioned at predetermined positions along the longitudinal direction of the belt-shaped member 69. It is inserted inside the belt-shaped member 69. In this case, the air flows through the plurality of propellers 60 between the flow passage 70 located above the band member 69 and the flow passage 70 located below the band member 69.
また、 仕切補助手段 9は、 帯状部材 6 9が流通路 7 0を上下二つに仕切る役割 を補助するためのものである。 服地部 1 0に帯状部材 6 9を取り付けただけでは、 その帯状部材 6 9の両端部の間であってファスナー 1 1の近傍に、 ある程度大き な隙間が生じてしまう。 かかる隙間があると、 そこから空気が漏れることにより、 空気が流通路 7 0内を上から下に向かって一方向に流れず、 逆流してしまうおそ れがある。 仕切補助手段 9は、 この隙間をできるだけ小さくし、 空気が流通路 7 0内を一方向に流れるのを確保するためのものである。 仕切補助手段 9としては、 例えばスポンジが用いられる。 そして、 仕切補助手段 9は、 服地部 1 0の裏面で あって、 帯状部材 6 9と同じ高さに位置するファスナー 1 1部分の左右の近傍に 設けられている。 かかる仕切補助手段 9と帯状部材 6 9とを合わせて、 仕切手段 8となっている。  The partitioning assisting means 9 assists the band-shaped member 69 in dividing the flow passage 70 into upper and lower portions. If the band member 69 is simply attached to the clothing material portion 10, a relatively large gap is generated between both end portions of the band member 69 and near the fastener 11. If there is such a gap, there is a risk that air leaks from the gap and does not flow in the flow passage 70 in one direction from the top to the bottom but flows backward. The partition assisting means 9 is for minimizing this gap and ensuring that air flows in the flow passage 70 in one direction. For example, a sponge is used as the partition assisting means 9. The partitioning assisting means 9 is provided on the back surface of the clothing portion 10 and near the left and right of the fastener 11 located at the same height as the belt-shaped member 69. The partition assisting means 9 and the band-shaped member 69 are combined to form the partitioning means 8.
送風手段 6は、 流通路 7 0内に空気の流れを強制的に生じさせるためのもので あり、 図 3、 図 4及び図 7に示すように、 複数のプロペラ 6 0と、 複数のモー夕 6 2と、 複数のファンベル卜 (動力伝達手段) 6 0 0とを有する。 複数のプロべ ラ 6 0、 複数のモータ 6 2及び電源ュニット 9 0はそれぞれ、 帯状部材 6 9の長 手方向に沿っての所定位置において帯状部材 6 9の内部に挿入されている。 この とき、 複数のプロペラ 6 0、 複数のモー夕 6 2は、 図 3、 図 4及び図 7に示すよ うに、 それらの回転軸が互いに略平行となるように、 且つ、 空調服ユニット 1の 着用時にそれらの回転軸が体の表面と略平行になるように帯状部材 6 9に設けら れる。  The blowing means 6 is for forcibly generating a flow of air in the flow passage 70, and as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 7, a plurality of propellers 60 and a plurality of motors are provided. 62 and a plurality of fan belts (power transmission means) 600. The plurality of probe 60, the plurality of motors 62, and the power supply unit 90 are respectively inserted into the inside of the band member 69 at predetermined positions along the longitudinal direction of the band member 69. At this time, the plurality of propellers 60 and the plurality of motors 62 are arranged so that their rotation axes are substantially parallel to each other, as shown in FIGS. Band members 69 are provided such that their rotation axes are substantially parallel to the surface of the body when worn.
尚、 送風手段 6と帯状部材 6 9とを別個のものとして考える代わりに、 送風手 段 6を帯状に構成したと考えることもできる。 すなわち、 送風手段 6は、 複数の プロペラ 6 0の回転軸及び複数のモー夕 6 2の回転軸が互いに略平行となるよう に複数のプロペラ 6 0及び複数のモ一夕 6 2を当該回転軸に略直交する方向に 8397 In addition, instead of considering the blowing means 6 and the belt-shaped member 69 as separate members, it can be considered that the blowing means 6 is configured in a belt shape. That is, the blower means 6 couples the plurality of propellers 60 and the plurality of motors 62 such that the rotation axes of the plurality of propellers 60 and the plurality of motors 62 are substantially parallel to each other. In a direction substantially perpendicular to 8397

沿って配置することにより、 帯状に構成されたものと考えることができる。 この 場合には、 送風手段 6が仕切手段 8の一部を兼ねる、 すなわち帯状部材 6 9の役 割を果たすことになる。 By arranging them along, it can be considered that they are configured in a belt shape. In this case, the blowing means 6 also serves as a part of the partition means 8, that is, plays the role of the belt-shaped member 69.
図 7に送風手段 6の概略構成図を示す。 各プロペラ 6 0の回転軸には一つの プ一リー (図示せず) が取り付けられており、 各モータ 6 2の回転軸 6 2 0には、 当該モ一夕 6 2によって駆動されるプロペラ 6 0の数と同数のプーリー (図示せ ず) が取り付けられている。 そして、 各プロペラ 6 0の回転軸に取り付けられた プーリ一と当該プロペラ 6 0を駆動するモータ 6 2の回転軸 6 2 0に取り付けら れた一のプーリ一とは、 ファンベルト 6 0 0で接続されている。 これにより、 複 数のモータ 6 2が回転すると、 それらの回転は複数のファンベルト 6 0 0を介し て、 複数のプロペラ 6 0に伝達される。  FIG. 7 shows a schematic configuration diagram of the blowing means 6. One pulley (not shown) is attached to the rotating shaft of each propeller 60, and the propeller 6 driven by the motor 62 is attached to the rotating shaft 62 of each motor 62. The same number of pulleys (not shown) as the number of zeros are installed. The pulley attached to the rotating shaft of each propeller 60 and the one pulley attached to the rotating shaft 62 of the motor 62 that drives the propeller 60 are connected by a fan belt 600. It is connected. Thus, when a plurality of motors 62 rotate, the rotations are transmitted to a plurality of propellers 60 via a plurality of fan belts 600.
第一実施形態では、 複数のプロペラ 6 0を帯状部材 6 9にその長手方向に沿つ て取り付けたことにより、 プロペラ 6 0のト一タル面積を増やすことができるの で、 大風量の空気を流通路 7 0内に発生させることができる。 また、 一般のファ ンでは、 プロペラとモータとがー体的に構成され、 モ一夕がファンの大部分を占 めているので、 ファンの小型化を図るのが困難である。 これに対して、 第一実施 形態では、 送風手段 6として、 プロペラ 6 0とモ一夕 6 2とが個別に構成された ものを用いることにより、 プロペラ 6 0の小型化を図ることができる。 このため、 空調服ユニット 1を着用したとき、 送風手段 6による出っ張りが小さくなり、 空 調服ユニット 1の外観上の違和感を少なくすることができる。 具体的には、 プロ ペラ 6 0としては、 その直径が 3 mm〜3 0 mmであるものを用いることが望ま しい。 実際、 プロペラ 6 0の直径として最も好ましい範囲は、 5 mm〜2 0 mm である。  In the first embodiment, the total area of the propeller 60 can be increased by mounting the plurality of propellers 60 on the belt-shaped member 69 along the longitudinal direction. It can be generated in the flow passage 70. In general fans, the propellers and motors are physically configured, and the motor occupies most of the fans, making it difficult to reduce the size of the fans. On the other hand, in the first embodiment, the propeller 60 and the motor 62 are individually configured as the air blowing means 6, so that the propeller 60 can be downsized. For this reason, when the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 is worn, the protrusion due to the air blowing means 6 is reduced, and the uncomfortable appearance of the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 can be reduced. Specifically, it is desirable to use a propeller 60 having a diameter of 3 mm to 30 mm. In fact, the most preferred range for the diameter of the propeller 60 is between 5 mm and 20 mm.
電源ュニット 9 0は、 図 3及び図 4に示すように、 帯状部材の一方の端部に取 り付けられている。 電源ユニット 9 0には、 電池 (電源手段) 、 制御回路等が収 納されている。 この電池が各モー夕 6 2に電力を供給する電源である。 また、 電 源ュ ット 9 0には、 各モー夕 6 2の駆動をオン Zオフするスィツチが設けられ ている。  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the power supply unit 90 is attached to one end of the belt-shaped member. The power supply unit 90 contains a battery (power supply means), a control circuit, and the like. This battery is the power source that supplies power to each motor 62. The power supply cutout 90 is provided with a switch for turning on and off the drive of each motor 62.
電池としては、 通常、 経済性の観点から二次電池が用いられる。 しかし、 最も 8397 As batteries, secondary batteries are usually used from the viewpoint of economy. But most 8397

好ましいのは、 電池として燃料電池を用いることである。 燃料電池は、 二次電池 に比べて、 小型であり、 充電する手間もかからないからである。 It is preferable to use a fuel cell as the battery. Fuel cells are smaller than rechargeable batteries and do not require much time to charge.
電源ュニット 9 0から電力が各モータ 6 に供給され、 各モー夕 6 2が回転す ると、 各ファンベル卜 6 0 0を介して各プロペラ 6 0が回転する。 このとき、 各 プロペラ 6 0は、 流通路 7 0内の空気を下方に排出する方向に回転する。 各プロ ペラ 6 0をこの方向に回転させると、 スぺーサ 2 0により形成される流通路 7 0 内の空間であって、 帯状部材 6 9で仕切られた上側の空間の圧力が低下し、 図 6 に示すように、 空気流入部 4 0から外部の空気が流通路 7 0内に流入する。 この 流入した空気は、 流通路 7 0内において服地部 1 0の表面と略平行 (体の表面に 略平行) であって下方に向かう方向に沿って移動する。 そして、 空気は、 プロべ ラ 6 0に達すると、 プロペラ 6 0に吸引されて、 流通路 7 0内の空間であって帯 状部材 6 9で仕切られた下側の空間に入り込む。 その後、 空気は、 空気流出部 5 0から外部に排出される。 このように、 各プロペラ 6 0が駆動されると、 体又は 下着 9 1の表面に略平行に空気が流れ、 かつ、 空気は流通路 7 0内を通って確実 に空気流出部 5 0へと流れていく。 体又は下着 9 1には、 空気がその表面に垂直 な方向から接触することはないので、 風が体に直接当たることによる違和感はな い。  When power is supplied from the power supply unit 90 to each motor 6 and each motor 62 rotates, each propeller 60 rotates via each fan belt 600. At this time, each propeller 60 rotates in a direction to discharge the air in the flow passage 70 downward. When each propeller 60 is rotated in this direction, the pressure in the space in the flow passage 70 formed by the spacer 20 and the upper space partitioned by the band-shaped member 69 decreases, As shown in FIG. 6, external air flows into the flow passage 70 from the air inflow portion 40. The inflowing air moves in the flow passage 70 in a direction that is substantially parallel to the surface of the clothing portion 10 (substantially parallel to the surface of the body) and goes downward. Then, when the air reaches the propeller 60, the air is sucked by the propeller 60 and enters the space in the flow passage 70 and the lower space partitioned by the band-shaped member 69. Thereafter, the air is discharged to the outside from the air outlet 50. Thus, when each propeller 60 is driven, the air flows substantially parallel to the body or the surface of the underwear 91, and the air passes through the inside of the flow passage 70 to the air outflow portion 50 without fail. It flows. Since the air does not come into contact with the body or underwear 91 from a direction perpendicular to the surface, there is no sense of discomfort due to the wind directly hitting the body.
送風手段 6が、 仕切手段 8を境にして上側の流通路 7 0から下側の流通路 7 0 へ空気を強制的に流通させることにより、 通気性のある又は通気をよくする工夫 が施された上着を空調服ュニット 1の上に着用しても、 その上着の服地を介して 外部からの空気を空気流入部 4 0から流通路 7 0内に取り込み、 流通路 7 0内に おいて体の表面に略平行に流通させることができる。 したがって、 かかる空気が 流通路 7 0内を流通する際に、 体の表面近傍における汗を気化させ、 気化熱によ る温度勾配を大きくすることにより、 体を冷却することができる。  The air blowing means 6 forcibly circulates air from the upper flow path 70 to the lower flow path 70 with the partition means 8 as a boundary, so that a device for improving air permeability or ventilation is provided. Even if the outerwear is worn on the air-conditioning uniform 1, air from the outside is taken into the flow passage 70 from the air inlet 40 through the clothing of the outerwear, and And can be distributed substantially parallel to the surface of the body. Therefore, when such air flows through the flow passage 70, the body can be cooled by vaporizing the sweat near the surface of the body and increasing the temperature gradient due to the heat of vaporization.
第一実施形態の空調服ュニット 1を着用してスぺーサ 2 0内に空気を流通させ、 体の表面から比較的近い部分の温度を体温よりも低い温度とすることによって、 体の表面近傍において大きな温度勾配を実現することができる。 この大きな温度 勾配によって、 人の体の表面から発せられる熱は容易に温度の低い空調服ュニッ ト 1の彻 Jに放射され、 そして、 スぺーサ 2 0内を流れる空気によって素早く吸収 される。 したがって、 第一実施形態の空調服ユニット 1では、 送風手段 6により 空気をスぺ一サ 2 0内に流通させるだけで、 着用者は涼しさを感じることができ る。 By wearing the air-conditioning uniform 1 of the first embodiment and circulating air through the spacer 20 and by setting the temperature of a portion relatively close to the body surface to a temperature lower than the body temperature, the vicinity of the body surface , A large temperature gradient can be realized. Due to this large temperature gradient, heat generated from the surface of the human body is easily radiated to the 彻 J of the air-conditioning unit 1, which has a low temperature, and is quickly absorbed by the air flowing through the spacer 20. Is done. Therefore, in the air-conditioning garment unit 1 of the first embodiment, the wearer can feel cool just by circulating the air into the spacer 20 by the blowing means 6.
上述したように、 体の表面近傍における大きな温度勾配が大きな冷却効果を生 み出すが、 同様なことが湿度についても言える。 すなわち、 暑いときには、 体の 表面近傍の湿度は約 1 0 0 %になっている。 このとき、 体の表面近傍に外気湿度 の層を作ることにより、 体の表面近傍において大きな湿度勾配を実現することが できる。 かかる大きな湿度勾配により、 汗の蒸発が促進され、 人は涼しく感じる ことができる。  As mentioned above, a large temperature gradient near the body surface produces a large cooling effect, but the same is true for humidity. That is, when it is hot, the humidity near the body surface is about 100%. At this time, by forming a layer of outside air humidity near the surface of the body, a large humidity gradient can be realized near the surface of the body. Such a large humidity gradient promotes the evaporation of sweat and makes people feel cool.
人は暑くなると体を冷却するために発汗する。 空調服ュニット 1は風量が大き ければ汗をすベて気化することができる。 したがって、 人間が本来的に有する体 温の自動調整機能により、 着用者はあまり汗をかかなくなり、 十分な涼しさを感 じることができる。  When people get hot, they sweat to cool their bodies. If the air volume is large, the air-conditioning uniform 1 can sweat and vaporize. Therefore, the wearer does not sweat much and can feel sufficient coolness by the automatic temperature control function inherent in humans.
このように、 空調服ユニット 1を、 汗をかくような状況で使用する場合には、 体の表面近傍において温度勾配を上げると共に、 湿度勾配をも上げることができ るので、 着用者は、 さらに涼しさを感じ、 快適に過ごすことができる。  As described above, when the air-conditioning garment unit 1 is used in a sweaty condition, the temperature gradient and the humidity gradient can be increased near the surface of the body, so that the wearer can further increase the temperature gradient. I feel cool and I can spend comfortably.
ここで、 第一実施形態の空調服ユニット 1の冷却能力について説明する。 本発 明者は、 温度を 3 0 °C、 湿度を 7 0 %とし、 その他の条件を理想的な条件に設定 して、 エネルギー収支を計算した。 その結果によれば、 例えば、 モータ 6 2を駆 動するのに 1 W程度の電力を要するとした場合、 空調服ユニット 1を着用するこ とにより、 1 0 0 W、 2 0 0 Wの冷却が行われる。 すなわち、 投入したェネル ギーに対して 1 0 0倍、 2 0 0倍の冷却が行われる。 これは、 水の気化熱が 1 g 当たり約 5 8 0カロリーと大きいからである。 当然、 汗の出る量等によって冷却 量は変わるが、 それを考慮しても、 第一実施形態の空調服ユニット 1の冷却効率 はとても高いといえる。  Here, the cooling capacity of the air-conditioning garment unit 1 of the first embodiment will be described. The inventor calculated the energy balance by setting the temperature to 30 ° C and the humidity to 70%, and setting other conditions to ideal conditions. According to the results, for example, if it is assumed that power of about 1 W is required to drive the motor 62, the cooling of 100 W and 200 W can be achieved by wearing the air-conditioning clothing unit 1. Is performed. In other words, cooling is performed 100 times and 200 times of the input energy. This is because the heat of vaporization of water is as high as about 580 calories per gram. Naturally, the amount of cooling varies depending on the amount of sweat, etc., but even taking this into account, it can be said that the cooling efficiency of the air-conditioning garment unit 1 of the first embodiment is very high.
次に、 第一実施形態の空調服ュニッ卜 1により冷却効果を得ることができる環 境について説明する。 図 8はその空調服ュニット 1により冷却効果を得ることが できる環境を説明するためのグラフである。 図 8において縦軸は湿球温度、 横軸 は乾球温度を表す。 一番下の直線 S 0は相対湿度が 0 %である直線を示す。 順次、 直線 S 1は相対湿度が 1 0 %である直線、 直線 S 2は相対湿度が 2 0 %である直 線、 直線 S 3は相対湿度が 4 0 %である直線、 直線 S 4は相対湿度が 6 0 %であ る直線、 直線 S 5は相対湿度が 8 0 %である直線、 そして、 直線 S 6は相対湿度 が 1 0 0 %である直線を示す。 尚、 かかるグラフは、 十分な風量がある環境にお いて得られたものであり、 ここでは、 その結果を概略的に示している。 Next, an environment in which a cooling effect can be obtained by the air-conditioning hood 1 of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a graph for explaining an environment in which the cooling effect can be obtained by the air conditioning unit 1. In FIG. 8, the vertical axis represents the wet bulb temperature, and the horizontal axis represents the dry bulb temperature. The bottom straight line S 0 indicates a straight line where the relative humidity is 0%. Sequentially The straight line S1 is a straight line with a relative humidity of 10%, the straight line S2 is a straight line with a relative humidity of 20%, the straight line S3 is a straight line with a relative humidity of 40%, and the straight line S4 is a straight line with a relative humidity of 40%. A straight line having a relative humidity of 60%, a straight line S5 represents a straight line having a relative humidity of 80%, and a straight line S6 represents a straight line having a relative humidity of 100%. This graph was obtained in an environment with a sufficient airflow, and here the results are schematically shown.
上述した冷却の原理から分かるように、 体からの汗が蒸発できないような環境 の下では、 空調服ユニット 1を使用してもその冷却効果は得られない。 人が快適 に作業できるには下着の温度が 3 0 ぐらいが望ましい。 したがって、 図 8にお いて斜線を引いた領域では冷却効果は有効であるが、 その上の領域ではあまり有 効ではない。  As can be seen from the cooling principle described above, in an environment where sweat from the body cannot evaporate, even if the air-conditioning garment unit 1 is used, the cooling effect cannot be obtained. It is desirable that the temperature of the underwear is about 30 to allow people to work comfortably. Therefore, the cooling effect is effective in the shaded area in FIG. 8, but not so effective in the area above it.
例えば外気温が 8 0 °Cでも相対湿度が 0 %であれば冷却効果は有効であり、 逆 に外気温が 4 0 °Cの場合には相対湿度が 4 0 %より高ければ効果がない。 しかし ながら、 一般に温度が高いときは相対湿度が低い。 このため、 理論上は、 かかる 空調服ユニット 1は、 非日常的な環境を除き、 どのような環境の下で使用しても、 冷却効果が得られると考えられる。  For example, even if the outside temperature is 80 ° C, the cooling effect is effective if the relative humidity is 0%, while if the outside temperature is 40 ° C, the cooling effect is not effective if the relative humidity is higher than 40%. However, generally, when the temperature is high, the relative humidity is low. Therefore, theoretically, it is considered that such an air-conditioning suit unit 1 can obtain a cooling effect under any environment except for an unusual environment.
ところで、 第一実施形態の空調服ユニットにおいて、 例えば、 電源ユニット 9 0に、 送信手段から送られた所定の信号を受信する受信回路と、 受信回路で受信 した信号に基づいて送風手段 6の駆動を制御する制御回路とを設けるようにして もよい。 この場合、 外部の送信手段から受信回路に無線で信号を送ることにより、 送風手段 6のオン 'オフや強弱を切り替えることができる。 ここで、 送信手段と しては、 ポケットに入れることができるようなサイズ ·形状のもの、 例えば万年 筆形状のものを用いることが望ましい。 また、 携帯電話等にその送信機能を組み 込んでもよい。 これにより、 上着を着用した場合でも、 上着を脱がずに送風手段 6を制御することができる。 そして、 受信回路は、 混信を防止するため、 少なく とも 1 0 0 0個の固有の通信識別コ一ドを有することが望ましい。  By the way, in the air-conditioning garment unit of the first embodiment, for example, the power supply unit 90 is provided with a receiving circuit for receiving a predetermined signal sent from the transmitting means, and the driving of the blowing means 6 based on the signal received by the receiving circuit. May be provided with a control circuit for controlling the control. In this case, by sending a signal wirelessly from an external transmitting means to the receiving circuit, it is possible to switch on / off and strength of the blowing means 6. Here, it is desirable to use a transmitting means having a size and a shape that can be put in a pocket, for example, a fountain pen. Further, the transmission function may be incorporated in a mobile phone or the like. Thus, even when the outerwear is worn, the blowing means 6 can be controlled without removing the outerwear. It is preferable that the receiving circuit has at least 100 unique communication identification codes in order to prevent interference.
また、 例えば、 空調服ユニット 1の着用者が移動することなく、 一定の作業場 所等で作業をする場合には、 送風手段 6に商用電源から電力を供給するようにし てもよい。 あるいは、 商用電源により二次電池を充電しながら、 空調服ユニット 1を使用してもよい。 更に、 下着 9 1の一部には、 例えばスパンデイクスと称されるポリウレタン製 の伸縮性素材を用いることが望ましい。 これにより、 下着 9 1と体とが密着して、 冷却効果の低下を防止することができる。 この場合、 上記スパンデイクスを用い た部分以外の下着 9 1の部分には吸水性のある素材を用いることが望ましい。 以上 述レたように、 第一実施形態の空調服ユニットは、 流通路を上下二つに 仕切る仕切手段と、 仕切手段に設けられた送風手段とを備えることにより、 空気 を、 送風手段を介して上側の流通路 7 0から下側の流通路 7 0へ強制的に流通さ せることができる。 このため、 通気性のある又は通気をよくする工夫を施した上 着を空調服ュニッ卜の上に着用しても、 その上着の服地を介して外部からの空気 を空気流入部から流通路内に取り込むことができる。 したがって、 通気性のある 又は通気をよくする工夫を施した上着と自由に組み合わせ、 その上着の下に空調 服ュニットを着用することができるので、 着用者は自己の好み又は必要に応じた 装いをすることができる。 例えば、 上着として通気性のある背広を用いることが できる。 このように、 着用者は、 空調服ユニットと組み合わせて着用する上着を 自由に選択することができると共に、 涼しさ、 快適さを得ることができる。 Further, for example, when the wearer of the air-conditioning garment unit 1 does not move and works in a certain work place or the like, electric power may be supplied to the blowing means 6 from a commercial power supply. Alternatively, the air-conditioning suit unit 1 may be used while charging the secondary battery with a commercial power supply. Further, it is desirable to use a polyurethane elastic material called spandex, for example, for a part of the underwear 91. As a result, the underwear 91 and the body come into close contact with each other, and a decrease in the cooling effect can be prevented. In this case, it is desirable to use a water-absorbing material for the portion of the underwear 91 other than the portion using the spandex. As described above, the air-conditioning garment unit according to the first embodiment includes the partitioning means for partitioning the flow passage into upper and lower portions, and the blowing means provided in the partitioning means, so that air can be transmitted through the blowing means. Thus, it is possible to forcibly circulate from the upper flow passage 70 to the lower flow passage 70. For this reason, even if a garment that is breathable or designed to improve ventilation is worn on the air-conditioning garment, air from the outside flows from the air inlet through the garment of the garment. Can be taken in. Therefore, the wearer can freely combine it with a breathable or well-ventilated outerwear and wear the air-conditioning unit under the outerwear. You can dress up. For example, a breathable suit can be used as the outerwear. In this way, the wearer can freely select the outerwear to be worn in combination with the air-conditioning clothing unit, and can obtain coolness and comfort.
また、 第一実施形態の空調服ユニットでは、 送風手段によって流通路内に空気 の流れを強制的に生じさせることにより、 服地部と体又は下着との間に体の表面 に略平行に空気を流すことができるので、 体の表面近傍における温度勾配を大き くして体温を下げることができると共に、 体の表面近傍における汗を気化させ、 当該気化の際に周囲から気化熱を奪う作用を利用して、 体温を下げることができ る。  In the air-conditioning garment unit of the first embodiment, the air is forced to be generated in the flow passage by the air blowing means, so that the air is substantially parallel to the surface of the body between the clothing portion and the body or underwear. Because it can flow, the temperature gradient near the surface of the body can be increased and the body temperature can be lowered, and at the same time, the action of vaporizing sweat near the surface of the body and removing heat of vaporization from the surroundings during the vaporization can be used. You can lower your body temperature.
また、 流通路を上下二つに仕切る仕切手段を設けたことにより、 送風手段に よって流通路内に空気の流れを強制的に生じさせたときに、 その空気が途中で逆 流してしまうのを防止することができる。 このため、 空気流入部から流通路内に 入り込んだ空気はすべて、 必ず、 上側の流通路、 送風手段、 下側の流通路、 そし て空気流出部を通って外部に排出されることになる。  Also, the provision of the partitioning means for dividing the flow passage into upper and lower two parts prevents the air from flowing back in the middle when the air flow is forcibly generated in the flow passage by the blowing means. Can be prevented. For this reason, all the air that has entered the flow passage from the air inflow section is necessarily discharged to the outside through the upper flow path, the blowing means, the lower flow path, and the air outflow section.
また、 送風手段の有する複数のプロペラを、 その回転軸が体の表面に対して略 平行となるようにして帯状部材にその長手方向に沿つて取り付けたことにより、 流通路内における空気の送風量を増やすことができると共に、 流通路内において 空気の流れに一定の方向性をもたせることができるので、 冷却効果を一層高める ことができる。 In addition, a plurality of propellers of the air blowing means are attached to the belt-shaped member along the longitudinal direction so that their rotation axes are substantially parallel to the surface of the body, so that the amount of air blown in the flow passage is increased. And in the flow passage Since the air flow can be given a certain direction, the cooling effect can be further enhanced.
特に、 送風手段としてプロペラとモー夕とが別個に構成されたものを用い、 モータの回転を、 ファンベルトを介して各プロペラに伝達することにより、 プロ ペラ径の小型化を実現することができるので、 空調服ユニットを着用したときに ファッション性を損なうことがない。 しかも、 この場合、 モー夕を大型化するこ とができ、 電気効率の向上を図ることができるので、 送風手段の電源として小容 量の電池を用いることができるというメリツ卜がある。  In particular, a propeller and a motor are separately configured as air blowing means, and the rotation of the motor is transmitted to each propeller via a fan belt, so that the propeller diameter can be reduced. Therefore, the fashionability is not impaired when the air-conditioning clothing unit is worn. In addition, in this case, since the size of the motor can be increased and the electric efficiency can be improved, there is a merit that a small-capacity battery can be used as a power supply of the blowing means.
更に、 空気流入部及び空気流出部を、 メッシュ状素材にスぺーサを取り付ける ことによって形成したことにより、 流通路内への外部の空気の取り入れ又は流通 路内の空気の外部への排出という空気の流通をスムーズに行うことができる。 し かも、 流通路を、 空気の漏れにくいシート状素材にスぺーサを取り付けることに よって形成したことにより、 服地部の内側において空気の流通を確実に行うこと ができる。 このため、 第一実施形態の空調服ュニットでは、 冷却効果の向上を図 ることができる。  Furthermore, by forming the air inflow section and the air outflow section by attaching a spacer to the mesh-like material, the air that takes in the outside air into the flow path or discharges the air in the flow path to the outside can be obtained. Can be smoothly distributed. In addition, since the flow passage is formed by attaching a spacer to a sheet-like material that does not easily leak air, the air can be reliably flown inside the clothing portion. For this reason, in the air-conditioning suit unit of the first embodiment, the cooling effect can be improved.
尚、 空調服ユニットは一人に一つあればよい。 なぜなら、 着用者は、 その空調 服ュニッ卜の上に着用する上着を自由に選択し、 その選択した上着と組み合わせ て空調服ユニットを着ることができるからである。 また、 空調服ユニットは、 汗 などで汚れることが少なく、 洗濯をあまり行う必要はない。 空調服ュニットを洗 濯する場合であつても、 送風手段などの電気部品は帯状部材に取り付けられてお り、 その帯状部材は粘着テープで着脱自在であるので、 帯状部材を容易に取り外 した後に空調服ュニットを洗濯すればよい。 帯状部材を取り除いた空調服ュニッ トは、 ほとんど通常の衣服と同じであるので、 その洗濯の際に手間がかかること はない。  In addition, only one air-conditioning clothes unit is required. This is because the wearer can freely select a jacket to be worn on the air-conditioning garment unit and wear the air-conditioning garment unit in combination with the selected jacket. In addition, the air-conditioning garment unit is less likely to be stained by sweat or the like, and does not require much washing. Even when washing the air-conditioning clothing unit, the electric components such as the air blower are attached to the belt-shaped member, and the band-shaped member is removable with adhesive tape, so the band-shaped member was easily removed. The air-conditioning clothing unit may be washed later. The air-conditioning clothing unit without the strip is almost the same as ordinary clothing, so there is no need to take time to wash it.
次に、 本発明の第二実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。 図 9は本発明 の第二実施形態に係る空調服ユニットの概略正面図である。 尚、 第二実施形態に おいて、 第一実施形態のものと同一の機能を有するものには、 同一の符号を付す ことにより、 その詳細な説明を省略する。  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 9 is a schematic front view of an air-conditioning suit unit according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, components having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
第二実施形態の空調服ユニット 1 aは、 図 9に示すように、 服地部 1 0と、 服 地部 1 0の裏面の所定部位に取り付けられた複数のスぺーサ 2 0により形成され た、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着との間に空気を流通させるための流通路 7 0と、 服 地部 1 0と体又は下着との間の空間を上下二つに仕切るための仕切手段 8 aと、 仕切手段 8 aに設けられた、 流通路 7 0内に空気の流れを強制的に生じさせるた めの送風手段 6と、 送風手段 6に電力を供給するための電源ュニット 9 0と、 服 地部 1 0の上部に設けられた空気流入部 4 0と、 服地部 1 0の下部に設けられた 空気流出部 5 0と、 密着手段 1 5 0とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 9, the air-conditioning garment unit 1a of the second embodiment comprises: A flow path 70 for allowing air to flow between the clothing base 10 and the body or underwear, formed by a plurality of spacers 20 attached to a predetermined portion on the back surface of the base 10; A partitioning means 8a for partitioning the space between the ground 10 and the body or underwear into upper and lower parts, and an air flow is forcibly generated in the flow passage 70 provided in the partitioning means 8a. Air supply unit 90 for supplying power to the blower means 6, an air inlet 40 provided at the upper part of the cloth part 10, and a lower part of the cloth part 10. The air outlet section 50 is provided, and the contact means 150 is provided.
この空調服ユニット 1 aも、 第一の実施形態と同様に、 ベストに適用した場合 について説明する。 また、 この空調服ユニット 1 aは、 第一実施形態とは異なり、 粘着テープ 1 4で前を閉じるタイプのものであるとする。 粘着テープ 1 4で服地 部 1 0の左前部と右前部とを閉じると、 その閉じた部分から外部へ空気がほとん ど漏れないようにすることができる。  A description will be given of a case where the air-conditioning suit unit 1a is applied to the best as in the first embodiment. Also, it is assumed that the air-conditioning garment unit 1a is of a type whose front is closed with an adhesive tape 14, unlike the first embodiment. Closing the left front part and the right front part of the clothes part 10 with the adhesive tape 14 can prevent almost no air from leaking from the closed part to the outside.
第二実施形態の空調服ュニット 1 aが第一実施形態の空調服ュニット 1と異な る主な点は、 仕切手段 8 aの仕切補助手段として帯状の扁平弾性部材を用いた点、 及び、 服地部 1 0に、 スぺ一サ 2 0を体又は下着 9 1に密着させるための密着手 段 1 5 0を設けた点である。 その他の点については、 上記の第一実施形態のもの と同じである。  The main differences between the air-conditioning garment unit 1a of the second embodiment and the air-conditioning garment unit 1 of the first embodiment are that a band-shaped flat elastic member is used as a partitioning auxiliary means of the partitioning means 8a, and The difference is that the part 10 is provided with an adhesion means 150 for bringing the spacer 20 into close contact with the body or the underwear 91. Other points are the same as those of the first embodiment.
仕切手段 8 aは、 帯状部材 6 9と、 仕切補助手段 1 5とを有する。 仕切補助手 段 1 5は、 帯状部材 6 9が服地部 1 0と体又は下着 9 1との間の空間を上下二つ に仕切る役割を補助するためのものである。 すなわち、 服地部 1 0に設けられた 帯状部材 6 9の両端部の間に生じた隙間を小さくする役割を果たす。  The partitioning means 8a has a band-shaped member 69 and a partitioning assisting means 15. The partition assisting means 15 is for assisting the band-shaped member 69 in dividing the space between the clothing material portion 10 and the body or the underwear 91 into upper and lower portions. That is, it plays a role in reducing the gap generated between both end portions of the band-shaped member 69 provided in the cloth portion 10.
第二実施形態では、 仕切補助手段 1 5として、 帯状の扁平弾性部材を用いる。 かかる扁平弾性部材の一端は、 服地部 1 0の左前部及び右前部のうちいずれか一 方の表面であって左右の前部が重なり合う部分の近傍に縫い付けられている。 一 方、 扁平弾性部材の他端には、 例えばホック等の嵌合部材 (図示せず) が取り付 けられている。 また、 その嵌合部材に対応する服地部 1 0の箇所には、 例えば留 め金等の固定部材 (図示せず) が取り付けられている。  In the second embodiment, a band-shaped flat elastic member is used as the partitioning assisting means 15. One end of the flat elastic member is sewn on the surface of one of the left front portion and the right front portion of the cloth material portion 10 and near the portion where the left and right front portions overlap. On the other hand, a fitting member (not shown) such as a hook is attached to the other end of the flat elastic member. Further, a fixing member (not shown) such as a clasp is attached to the portion of the clothing portion 10 corresponding to the fitting member.
空調服ュニット 1 aを着用する場合には、 服地部 1 0の左前部と右前部とを粘 着テープ 1 4で閉じた後、 嵌合部材を固定部材に嵌め込むようにする。 このとき、 扁平弹性部材によって、 服地部 1 0の左前部と右前部とが互いに引き寄せられる ので、 帯状部材 6 9の両端部の間に生じた隙間を小さくすることができる。 また、 嵌合部材を固定部材に嵌め込む作業も簡単に行うことができる。 When the air-conditioning clothing unit 1a is worn, the front left portion and the right front portion of the clothing portion 10 are closed with adhesive tape 14, and then the fitting member is fitted into the fixing member. At this time, Since the flat front member draws the left front portion and the right front portion of the clothing portion 10 toward each other, a gap generated between both ends of the band-shaped member 69 can be reduced. Further, the work of fitting the fitting member into the fixing member can be easily performed.
尚、 ここでは、 仕切補助手段 1 5として帯状の扁平弾性部材を使用した場合に ついて説明したが、 一般に、 仕切補助手段 1 5は、 帯状部材 6 9の両端部の間の 隙間を小さくし、 空気が逆流してしまうような漏れ空間をなくすようなものであ ればどのようなものでもよく、 必ずしも弾性部材には限られない。  Here, the case where a band-shaped flat elastic member is used as the partitioning assisting means 15 has been described, but in general, the partitioning assisting means 15 reduces the gap between both ends of the strip-shaped member 69, Any material may be used as long as it eliminates a leak space where air flows backward, and is not necessarily limited to an elastic member.
密着手段 1 5 0は、 スぺーサ 2 0を体又は下着 9 1に密着させるためのもので ある。 これにより、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着 9 1との間に余分な空気が存在する のを排除し、 スぺ一サ 2 0の厚み等で決められた設計通りの量の空気を流通路 7 0内に流すことができる。 かかる密着手段 1 5 0は、 服地部 1 0の前面に複数設 けられている。 尚、 一般に、 密着手段 1 5 0は、 服地部 1 0のいずれの位置にも 取り付けることができる。 図 9では、 密着手段 1 5 0を、 服地部 1 0の前部に取 り付けているが、 例えば、 着用者の体型に沿うように服地部 1 0の後部に取り付 けてもよい。  The adhesion means 150 is for adhering the spacer 20 to the body or the underwear 91. This eliminates the presence of excess air between the cloth part 10 and the body or underwear 91, and allows the air to flow through as much as the designed amount determined by the thickness of the spacer 20, etc. Can flow in 70. A plurality of such contacting means 150 are provided on the front surface of the clothing portion 10. Note that, in general, the contacting means 150 can be attached to any position of the clothing portion 10. In FIG. 9, the adhesion means 150 is attached to the front part of the clothing part 10, but it may be attached, for example, to the rear part of the clothing part 10 so as to conform to the wearer's body shape.
第二実施形態の空調服ュニットは、 上記の第一実施形態のものと同様の作用 · 効果を奏する。 特に、 第二実施形態の空調服ユニットでは、 服地部に密着手段を 設けたことにより、 スぺーザが体又は下着に密着するので、 スぺーサが下着と離 れてしまい、 冷却効果が低下してしまうのを防止することができる。 また、 ス ぺ一サの密着性が向上するので、 空調服ユニットを着用していないときに上着を 着るのと同じぐらい容易に、 上着を空調服ュニットの上に着用することができる。 次に、 本発明の第三実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。 図 1 0 Aは本 発明の第三実施形態に係る空調服ュニッ卜の概略正面図、 図 1 0 Bはその空調服 ユニットの C一 C矢視方向概略断面図である。 尚、 第三実施形態において、 第一 実施形態のものと同一の機能を有するものには、 同一の符号を付すことにより、 その詳細な説明を省略する。  The air-conditioning suit unit of the second embodiment has the same functions and effects as those of the first embodiment. In particular, in the air-conditioning garment unit of the second embodiment, the provision of the close-fitting means on the garment portion allows the spacer to adhere to the body or the undergarment, so that the spacer is separated from the undergarment and the cooling effect is reduced. Can be prevented. Also, since the adhesion of the air conditioner is improved, the outerwear can be worn on the air-conditioning clothing unit as easily as wearing the outerwear when not wearing the air-conditioning clothing unit. Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 10A is a schematic front view of an air-conditioning suit unit according to a third embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 10B is a schematic cross-sectional view of the air-conditioning suit unit in the direction of arrows C-C. In the third embodiment, components having the same functions as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
第三実施形態の空調服ユニット 1 bは、 図 1 0に示すように、 服地部 1 0と、 服地部 1 0の裏面の所定部位に取り付けられた複数のスぺーサ 2 0により形成さ れた、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着との間に空気を流通させるための流通路 7 0と、 服地部 1 0と体又は下着との間の空間を上下二つに仕切るための仕切手段 8と、 仕切手段 8に設けられた、 流通路 7 0内に空気の流れを強制的に生じさせるため の送風手段 6と、'送風手段 6に電力を供給するための電源ュニッ卜 9 0と、 服地 部 1 0の上部に設けられた空気流入部 4 0と、 服地部 1 0の下部に設けられた空 気流出部 5 0 bと、 空気遮断手段 1 2とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 10, the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 b of the third embodiment is formed by a clothing material portion 10 and a plurality of spacers 20 attached to a predetermined portion on the back surface of the clothing material portion 10. A flow passage 70 for allowing air to flow between the cloth material portion 10 and the body or underwear; Partition means 8 for dividing the space between the cloth material part 10 and the body or underwear into upper and lower parts, and forcibly generating a flow of air in the flow passage 70 provided in the partition means 8 , A power supply unit 90 for supplying electric power to the air blowing means 6, an air inflow section 40 provided above the clothing section 10, and a lower section of the clothing section 10. And an air outflow part 50 b and an air shutoff means 12.
尚、 この空調服ユニット 1 bも、 第一の実施形態と同様に、 ベストに適用した 場合について説明する。 また、 この空調服ユニット 1 bは、 ファスナー 1 1で前 を閉じるタイプのものであるとする。  The case where the air-conditioning suit unit 1b is applied to the best as in the first embodiment will be described. It is also assumed that the air-conditioning garment unit 1 b is of a type whose front is closed with a fastener 11.
第三実施形態の空調服ュニット 1 bが第一実施形態の空調服ュニッ卜 1と異な る主な点は、 空気流出部 5 0 bの上下方向の長さを十分長くした点、 及び、 服地 部 1 0のシート状素材 7 1の表面に胴回り方向に沿って空気遮断手段 1 2を設け た点である。 その他の点については、 上記の第一実施形態のものと同じである。 第三実施形態では、 服地部 1 0の下部に用いられるメッシュ状素材 5 1 bを、 それが臀部を覆うことができる程度にまで十分長くしている。 したがって、 メッ シュ状素材 5 1 bにスぺ一サ 2 0を取り付けることにより形成される空気流出部 5 0 bについてもその上下方向の長さが十分長くなつている。 'ここで、 空気流出 部 5 0 bを体に密着させないようにしている。 これにより、 着用者が椅子に腰掛 けていても臀部が蒸れることはない。 このように、 第三実施形態では、 空気流出 部 5 0 bの上下方向の長さを腰部及び臀部を覆うことができるように長くするこ とにより、 その空気流出部 5 0 bの全体に空気を流し、 胸部や背部だけでなく、 S要部や臀部をも冷却することができる。 かかる腰部や臀部についての冷却効果は、 着用者が椅子に腰掛けている場合にも得られる。  The main differences between the air-conditioning garment unit 1b of the third embodiment and the air-conditioning garment unit 1 of the first embodiment are that the length of the air outlet 50b in the vertical direction is sufficiently long, and The point is that air blocking means 12 is provided on the surface of the sheet material 71 of the part 10 along the waist direction. Other points are the same as those of the first embodiment. In the third embodiment, the mesh material 51b used at the lower part of the clothing material portion 10 is made long enough to cover the buttocks. Therefore, the vertical length of the air outlet portion 50b formed by attaching the spacer 20 to the mesh-like material 51b is also sufficiently long. 'Here, the air outflow section 50b is not in close contact with the body. This ensures that the buttocks are not stuffy even if the wearer is sitting on a chair. As described above, in the third embodiment, by increasing the vertical length of the air outflow portion 50b so as to cover the waist and buttocks, the air outflow portion 50b is entirely air-tight. It can cool not only the chest and back, but also the main parts of the body and the buttocks. Such a cooling effect on the waist and buttocks can be obtained even when the wearer is sitting on a chair.
尚、 この空調服ユニット 1 bは次のような方法で使用することもできる。 すな わち、 空気流出部 5 0 bをズボンやスカートの中に入れるようにして、 空調服ュ ニット 1 bを着用する。 これにより、 ズボンゃスカートと体又は下着との間に空 気が流通し、 実質的に流通路 7 0が腰部や臀部にまで延長される。 したがって、 腰部及び臀部を冷却することができる。 また、 下半身に流通した空気は、 ズボン やスカートの開口部から外部に排出される。  The air-conditioning garment unit 1b can be used in the following manner. That is, wear the air-conditioning clothing unit 1 b with the air outlet 50 b in the pants or skirt. As a result, air flows between the pants / skirt and the body or underwear, and the flow passage 70 is substantially extended to the waist and buttocks. Therefore, the lower back and buttocks can be cooled. The air circulating in the lower body is discharged to the outside through the pants and skirt openings.
ところで、 密着性のよくない上着を空調服ュニット 1 bの上に着用した場合に は、 服地部 1 0と上着との間に広い空間ができてしまうことがある。 このとき、 当該空間内の空気が、 外気と交換されずに、 空気流入部 4 0、 流通路 7 0、 空気 流出部 5 0 b、 当該空間の間において循環してしまうおそれがある。 これでは、 十分な冷却効果を得ることができない。 空気遮断手段 1 2は、 かかる空気の循環 を防止し、 外気が流通路 7 0内に取り込まれることを確保するためのものである。 この空気遮断手段 1 2は、 服地部 1 0のシート状素材 7 1の表面に胴回り方向に 沿って設けられている。 これにより、 服地部 1 0と上着との間の空間において、 上下方向に沿っての空気の流れを遮断することができるので、 同じ空気が何度も 流通路 7 0及び当該空間を循環するのを防止することができる。 By the way, if you wear a jacket with poor adhesion on the air conditioning unit 1 b In some cases, a large space may be created between the clothing part 10 and the outerwear. At this time, the air in the space may be circulated between the air inflow portion 40, the flow passage 70, the air outflow portion 50b, and the space without being exchanged with the outside air. In this case, a sufficient cooling effect cannot be obtained. The air shut-off means 12 is for preventing the circulation of the air and ensuring that the outside air is taken into the flow passage 70. The air blocking means 12 is provided on the surface of the sheet material 71 of the clothing material portion 10 along the waist direction. Thereby, in the space between the clothing portion 10 and the outerwear, the flow of air along the vertical direction can be blocked, so that the same air circulates through the flow passage 70 and the space many times. Can be prevented.
第三実施形態の空調服ユニットは、 上記の第一実施形態のものと同様の作用 · 効果を奏する。 特に、 第三実施形態の空調服ユニットでは、 空気流出部が、 腰部 及び臀部を覆うことができるような長さを有することにより、 着用者が椅子に腰 掛けているときであっても、 胸部や背部だけでなく、 腰部や臀部についても冷却 することができる。 また、 空気遮断手段を服地部のシート状素材の表面に胴回り 方向に沿って設けたことにより、 密着性のよくない上着を空調服ュニッ卜の上に 着用した場合に、 服地部と上着との間の空間において空気が上下方向に沿って流 通するのを防止することができるので、 同じ空気が何度も流通路及び当該空間を 循環するのを防止することができる。  The air-conditioning suit unit of the third embodiment has the same functions and effects as those of the first embodiment. In particular, in the air-conditioning garment unit of the third embodiment, the air outflow portion has a length that can cover the waist and buttocks, so that even when the wearer is sitting on a chair, It can cool not only the back and back but also the waist and buttocks. In addition, the air blocking means is provided along the waist direction on the surface of the sheet-like material of the clothing portion, so that when the outerwear with poor adhesion is worn on the air-conditioning clothing unit, the clothing portion and the outerwear are removed. It is possible to prevent air from flowing along the vertical direction in the space between the space and the space, so that the same air can be prevented from circulating through the flow passage and the space many times.
次に、 本発明の第四実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。 図 1 1は本発 明の第四実施形態に係る空調服ュニットにおける空気流量制御部の概略ブロック 図である。  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 11 is a schematic block diagram of an air flow control unit in an air-conditioning suit unit according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention.
人というものは、 食物を摂取して生命維持活動や仕事を行い、 それに対応して 発熱する非常に効率の悪い作業装置と考えることができる。 効率が悪いゆえに、 摂取したカロリーのほとんどが熱になり、 正常な体温を維持するためには、 その 時の作業量に応じた量の放熱が必要になる。 このために、 人には、 発汗により身 体を冷却する生理的機能が備わっている。 すなわち、 作業量に応じて生理的に必 要とされる放熱量が決まり、 これに対応した量の汗を出すようになつている。 汗 がすべて気化されれば、 その人のその時の状況に最適な放熱が行われる。 放熱量 に対応した汗の量はもちろん脳により一義的に計算されたものではないであろう ― A person can be considered a very inefficient working device that ingests food, performs life support activities and work, and generates heat in response. Because of the inefficiency, most of the calories ingested are turned into heat, and in order to maintain a normal body temperature, an amount of heat radiation that depends on the amount of work done at that time is required. For this reason, humans have the physiological function of cooling their bodies by sweating. In other words, the amount of heat that is physiologically required is determined according to the amount of work, and a corresponding amount of sweat is emitted. If all of the sweat evaporates, the heat will be optimally dissipated for that person's current situation. The amount of sweat corresponding to the amount of heat released will of course not be uniquely calculated by the brain ―
27 27
が、 体温が激しく上昇すれば、 大量の汗を出し続け、 その結果、 体温が下がれば、 汗の量が少なくなり、 体を冷やしすぎることはない。 したがって、 結果的には、 人は、 作業量に応じて生理的に必要とされる放熱量に対応した量の汗を出すこと になる。 しかし、 温湿度、 風の有無、 作業量などの諸条件により汗をすベて気化 することができないことがある。 この場合、 生理的に必要とされる放熱量が得ら れず、 人は、 気化されない無駄な汗を出し続けるので、 不快になるだけでなく、 生理的にもダメージをこうむる。 However, if the body temperature rises too much, it will continue to sweat a lot, and if the body temperature falls, the amount of sweat will decrease and the body will not be overcooled. Therefore, as a result, the person sweats in an amount corresponding to the amount of heat required physiologically according to the amount of work. However, depending on various conditions such as temperature and humidity, presence of wind, and the amount of work, it may not be possible to sweat and vaporize. In this case, the amount of heat that is physiologically required is not obtained, and humans continue to emit unnecessary sweat that does not evaporate, which is not only uncomfortable but also physiologically damaging.
一方、 上記の第一、 第二又は第三の実施形態の空調服ユニットを着用した場合 には、 大量の空気を体の表面と略平行に流すことにより、 汗をすベて気化できる 条件の範囲を大幅に拡大することができる。 このとき、 これら各実施形態の空調 服ユニットでは、 常に大量の空気を流通路内に流し続けている。 しかしながら、 着用者の作業環境によっては、 常に大量の空気を流通路内に流し続ける必要はな い。 すなわち、 着用者が大量の放熱を必要とする作業を行う場合には、 大量の空 気を流通路内に流通させなければならないが、 オフィスワークなど、 大量の放熱 を必要としない作業を行う場合には、 流通路内には少量の空気を流通させるだけ でよい。 このように着用者のその時の状況に応じた量の空気を流すことができれ ば、 電池の無駄使いを抑えることができるだけでなく、 送風手段の寿命を延ばす ことができる。  On the other hand, when the air-conditioning suit unit according to the first, second or third embodiment is worn, a large amount of air is allowed to flow substantially parallel to the surface of the body, so that sweat can be vaporized. The range can be greatly expanded. At this time, in the air-conditioning suit unit of each of the embodiments, a large amount of air is always kept flowing into the flow passage. However, depending on the wearer's work environment, it is not always necessary to keep a large amount of air flowing through the flow passage. In other words, when the wearer performs a work that requires a large amount of heat dissipation, a large amount of air must be circulated in the flow passage, but when performing work that does not require a large amount of heat dissipation, such as office work. Then, only a small amount of air needs to be circulated in the flow passage. If the amount of air flowing according to the situation at the time of the wearer can be flowed in this way, not only can the battery be wasted, but also the life of the ventilation means can be extended.
第四実施形態の空調服ユニットは、 温湿度、 作業量などの諸条件に応じた量の 空気を流通路内に流すことができるように、 上記の第一、 第二及び第三の実施形 態の空調服ュニットを改良したものである。 かかる第四実施形態の空調服ュニッ 卜が第一実施形態の空調服ユニットと異なる点は、 流通路内に流通させる空気の 流量を自動的に制御する空気流量制御部を備えている点である。 その他の点につ いては、 上記の第一実施形態のものと同じである。 また、 第四実施形態の空調服 ユニットの外観は、 図 1及び図 2に示すものと略同様である。 以下では、 空調服 ユニットの基本的な構成についての説明は省略する。 尚、 第四実施形態において、 第一実施形態のものと同一の機能を有するものには、 同一の符号を付すことによ り、 その詳細な説明を省略する。  The air-conditioning garment unit of the fourth embodiment includes the first, second, and third embodiments described above so that air in an amount corresponding to various conditions such as temperature and humidity and the amount of work can flow in the flow passage. It is an improvement of the air-conditioning clothing unit of the state. The air-conditioning garment unit of the fourth embodiment differs from the air-conditioning garment unit of the first embodiment in that the air-conditioning garment unit is provided with an air flow control unit that automatically controls the flow rate of air flowing through the flow passage. . Other points are the same as those of the first embodiment. The appearance of the air-conditioning garment unit of the fourth embodiment is substantially the same as that shown in FIGS. In the following, description of the basic configuration of the air-conditioning clothing unit will be omitted. In the fourth embodiment, components having the same functions as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
第四実施形態の空調服ュニッ卜における空気流量制御部 1 0 0は、 図 1 1に示 すように、 温度センサ (周囲温度検出手段) 1 0 1と、 消費エネルギー量センサ 1 0 2と、 演算手段 1 0 4と、 制御手段 1 0 5とを備える。 The air flow control unit 100 in the air-conditioning uniform unit of the fourth embodiment is shown in FIG. As described above, a temperature sensor (ambient temperature detecting means) 101, an energy consumption sensor 102, a calculating means 104, and a control means 105 are provided.
温度センサ 1 0 1は、 着用者の体の周囲における温度、 又は温度及び湿度を検 出するものである。 この温度センサ 1 0 1は、 服地部 1 0の外側に取り付けられ る。 温度センサ 1 0 1で得られた温度、 又は温度及び湿度に関するデータは、 演 算手段 1 0 4に送られる。  The temperature sensor 101 detects the temperature or the temperature and humidity around the wearer's body. The temperature sensor 101 is attached to the outside of the clothing portion 10. The data relating to the temperature or the temperature and humidity obtained by the temperature sensor 101 is sent to the calculating means 104.
消費エネルギー量センサ 1 0 2は、 着用者が作業に伴って消費するエネルギー 量に対応する所定の量を検出するものである。 作業に伴う消費エネルギー量は、 当然、 作業量に応じて変化する。 また、 作業量が増え、 消費エネルギー量も増え ると、 体温、 脈拍等が上昇する。 このため、 消費エネルギー量センサ 1 0 2とし ては、 例えば、 加速度センサなどを用いて作業量の概算量を検出する作業量セン サゃ、 体温 ·脈拍等の生理データを検出する生理センサを用いることができる。 この生理センサで検出された体温、 脈拍等の生理デ一夕に基づいて、 消費エネル ギ一量の概算量、 したがって作業量の概算量を知ることができる。 消費エネル ギ一量センサ 1 0 2で得られた検出結果に関するデータは、 演算手段 1 0 4に送 られる。  The consumed energy sensor 102 detects a predetermined amount corresponding to the amount of energy consumed by the wearer during work. The amount of energy consumed by the work naturally changes according to the amount of work. Also, as the amount of work increases and the amount of energy consumed increases, body temperature, pulse, etc. rise. For this reason, as the energy consumption sensor 102, for example, a work amount sensor す る that detects an approximate work amount using an acceleration sensor or the like, and a physiological sensor that detects physiological data such as body temperature and a pulse is used. be able to. Based on the physiological data, such as body temperature and pulse, detected by the physiological sensor, the approximate amount of energy consumption and therefore the approximate amount of work can be known. Data relating to the detection result obtained by the consumption energy unit sensor 102 is sent to the calculation means 104.
消費エネルギー量センサ 1 0 2として作業量センサを用いる場合には、 当該作 業量センサは空調服ユニットのいずれの箇所に取り付けてもよい。 また、 消費ェ ネルギ一量センサ 1 0 2として生理センサを用いる場合には、 当該生理センサは、 空調服ュニットの内側、 すなわち下着や体に接するところに設けることが望まし レ^ ここで、 空調服ユニットは下着又は体の上に着用されるため、 生理センサを 容易に取り付けることができる。  When a work amount sensor is used as the energy consumption sensor 102, the work amount sensor may be attached to any part of the air conditioning clothing unit. In addition, when a physiological sensor is used as the consumption energy unit sensor 102, it is desirable that the physiological sensor be provided inside the air-conditioning clothing unit, that is, where it comes into contact with underwear or body. Since the clothes unit is worn on the underwear or on the body, the physiological sensor can be easily attached.
演算手段 1 0 4は、 温度センサ 1 0 1で得られた検出結果と消費エネルギー量 センサ 1 0 2で得られた検出結果とに基づいて、 着用者がその時の状況に応じて 適切な放熱を行うために必要とされる、 流通路 7 0内に流通させる空気の流量を 算出する。 演算手段 1 0 4で得られた算出結果は制御手段 1 0 5に送られる。 制 御手段 1 0 5は、 演算手段 1 0 4で算出された空気の流量に基づいて送風手段 6 の駆動条件を決定し、 その決定した駆動条件にしたがって送風手段 6を制御する。 ここで、 送風手段 6の駆動条件としては、 例えばモータ 6 2の回転数を用いる。 モータ 6 2の回転数が決まれば、 流通路 7 0内における空気の流量も定まる。 こ れにより、 温湿度、 作業内容に応じて適切な量の空気を流通路 7 0内に流通させ ることができる。 The calculating means 104 is adapted to allow the wearer to appropriately radiate heat according to the situation at that time based on the detection result obtained by the temperature sensor 101 and the detection result obtained by the energy consumption sensor 102. Calculate the flow rate of air to be circulated in the flow passage 70, which is required to perform the operation. The calculation result obtained by the arithmetic means 104 is sent to the control means 105. The control means 105 determines the driving condition of the blowing means 6 based on the flow rate of the air calculated by the calculating means 104, and controls the blowing means 6 according to the determined driving condition. Here, as the driving condition of the blowing means 6, for example, the rotation speed of the motor 62 is used. When the rotation speed of the motor 62 is determined, the flow rate of air in the flow passage 70 is also determined. Thereby, an appropriate amount of air can be circulated in the flow passage 70 according to the temperature and humidity and the work content.
第四実施形態の空調服ュニットは、 上記の第一実施形態のものと同様の作用 · 効果を奏する。 特に、 第四実施形態の空調服ユニットでは、 演算手段が、 温度セ ンサで得られた検出結果と消費エネルギー量センサで得られた検出結果とに基づ いて流通路内に流通させる空気の流量を算出し、 制御手段が、 演算手段で算出さ れた空気の流量に基づいて送風手段の駆動条件を決定し、 その決定した駆動条件 にしたがって送風手段を制御する。 これにより、 温湿度や作業内容に応じて適切 な量の空気を流通路内に流通させることができるので、 電池の無駄使いを抑えて、 電池の寿命を延ばすことができると共に、 送風手段にかかる負荷を軽減して、 送 風手段の寿命を延ばすことができる。  The air-conditioning suit unit of the fourth embodiment has the same functions and effects as those of the first embodiment. In particular, in the air-conditioning garment unit of the fourth embodiment, the calculating means determines the flow rate of the air flowing through the flow passage based on the detection result obtained by the temperature sensor and the detection result obtained by the energy consumption sensor. Is calculated, and the control means determines the driving condition of the blowing means based on the air flow rate calculated by the calculating means, and controls the blowing means according to the determined driving condition. As a result, an appropriate amount of air can be circulated in the flow passage in accordance with the temperature and humidity and the content of the work, so that the battery can be prevented from being wasted, the life of the battery can be prolonged, and the air blowing means can be reduced. The load can be reduced and the life of the blower can be extended.
また、 第四実施形態の空調服ユニットでは、 その使用時に、 送風手段のノイズ 音もそれ程気にならなくなるという利点もある。 例えば、 着用者が大量の放熱を 必要とする作業を行う場合には、 モ一夕の回転数が大きくなり、 送風手段のノィ ズ音が大きくなる。 しかし、 一般に、 このような作業を行う場合、 その周囲の騒 音レベルも高いので、 たとえ送風手段のノイズ音が大きくても、 着用者及びその 周囲の人はそのノイズ音があまり気にならない。 また、 オフィスワークなど、 大 量の放熱を必要としない作業を行う場合には、 モ一夕の回転数が小さくなるので、 送風手段のノイズ音が小さく、 着用者及びその周囲の人はそのノイズ音が気にな ることはない。  Further, the air-conditioning suit unit of the fourth embodiment has an advantage that the noise sound of the air blowing means is not so noticeable when used. For example, when the wearer performs a work that requires a large amount of heat radiation, the number of revolutions per hour increases, and the noise of the blower increases. However, in general, when performing such work, the noise level around the surrounding area is high, so even if the noise level of the air blower is loud, the wearer and the surrounding area are not particularly concerned about the noise level. Also, when performing work that does not require a large amount of heat dissipation, such as office work, the number of revolutions per minute is low, so that the noise noise of the air blowing means is low, and the wearer and the people around it wear the noise. The sound is not bothersome.
尚、 作業の状況に応じて適切な放熱を行うために必要とされる空気の流量には、 もちろん個人差がある。 このため、 この個人差を示すデータを予め演算手段内の メモリに蓄積しておき、 演算手段は、 温度センサで得られた検出結果と、 消費ェ ネルギー量センサで得られた検出結果と、 個人差データとに基づいて、 流通路内 に流通させる空気の流量を算出するようにすることが望ましい。  It should be noted that there is, of course, an individual difference in the flow rate of air required to appropriately dissipate heat according to work conditions. For this reason, the data indicating the individual difference is stored in advance in a memory in the calculating means, and the calculating means calculates the detection result obtained by the temperature sensor, the detection result obtained by the energy consumption sensor, and It is desirable to calculate the flow rate of the air flowing through the flow passage based on the difference data.
次に、 本発明の第五実施形態について図面を参照して説明する。 図 1 2は本発 明の第五実施形態に係る空調服ュニットにおける空気流量制御部の概略ブロック 図である。 第五実施形態の空調服ュニットは、 上記の第四実施形態の空調服ュニットを改 良したものである。 かかる第五実施形態の空調服ュニットが第四実施形態の空調 服ュニットと異なるのは、 .空気流量制御部 1 0 0 aの構成である。 その他の点に ついては、 上記の第四実施形態のものと同じである。 尚、 第五実施形態において、 第一及び第四の実施形態のものと同一の機能を有するものには、 同一の符号を付 すことにより、 その詳細な説明を省略する。 Next, a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 12 is a schematic block diagram of an air flow control unit in an air-conditioning suit unit according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioning unit according to the fifth embodiment is a modification of the air conditioning unit according to the fourth embodiment. The air-conditioning clothing unit of the fifth embodiment is different from the air-conditioning clothing unit of the fourth embodiment in the configuration of the air flow controller 100a. Other points are the same as those of the fourth embodiment. In the fifth embodiment, components having the same functions as those in the first and fourth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.
第五実施形態では、 空気流量制御部 1 0 0 aは、 図 1 2に示すように、 温度セ ンサ 1 0 1と、 生理センサ (体温検出手段) 1 0 2 aと、 演算手段 1 0 4 aと、 制御手段 1 0 5と、 警報装置 1 0 7と、 送信回路 1 0 8とを備える。 この空気流 量制御部 1 0 0 aは、 第四実施形態と同様に流通路 7 0内に流通させる空気の流 量を制御する。 ここでは、 かかる空気の流量の制御についての詳細な説明は省略 する。 また、 空気流量制御部 1 0 0 aは、 空気の流量の制御に加えて、 警報を発 したり、 所定の情報を外部に送信したりするための制御を行う。  In the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the air flow control unit 100a includes a temperature sensor 101, a physiological sensor (body temperature detecting means) 102a, and an arithmetic means 100 a, control means 105, an alarm device 107, and a transmission circuit 108. The air flow control unit 100a controls the flow rate of air flowing through the flow passage 70 as in the fourth embodiment. Here, a detailed description of the control of the air flow rate is omitted. Further, the air flow control unit 100a performs control for issuing an alarm and transmitting predetermined information to the outside, in addition to controlling the air flow rate.
温度センサ 1 0 1は、 着用者の体の周囲における温度、 又は温度及び湿度を検 出するものである。 生理センサ 1 0 2 aは、 生理デ一夕として体温又は体温及び 脈拍を検出するものである。 生理センサ 1 0 2 aは、 空調服ュニットの内側、 す なわち下着や体に接するところに設けられる。 生理センサ 1 0 2 aで検出された 生理デ一夕は、 演算手段 1 0 4 aに送られる。 尚、 生理センサ 1 0 2 aは、 体温 や脈拍だけでなく、 他の必要なデータを検出するようにしてもよい。  The temperature sensor 101 detects the temperature or the temperature and humidity around the wearer's body. The physiological sensor 102a detects a body temperature or a body temperature and a pulse as a physiological period. The physiological sensor 102a is provided inside the air-conditioning clothing unit, that is, in contact with underwear or the body. The physiological data detected by the physiological sensor 102a is sent to the arithmetic means 104a. The physiological sensor 102a may detect not only body temperature and pulse but also other necessary data.
警報装置 1 0 7は、 所定の警報を発するものである。 また、 送信回路 1 0 8は、 体調に関する情報を外部の受信回路に送信するものである。  The alarm device 107 issues a predetermined alarm. Further, the transmission circuit 108 transmits information on the physical condition to an external reception circuit.
演算手段 1 0 4 aは、 温度センサ 1 0 1で得られた検出結果及び生理センサ 1 0 2 aで得られた検出結果に基づいて流通路内に流通させる空気の流量を算出す る。 そして、 制御手段 1 0 5は、 演算手段 1 0 4 aで算出された空気の流量に基 づいて送風手段 6の駆動条件を決定し、 その決定した駆動条件にしたがって送風 手段 6を制御する。  The calculating means 104a calculates the flow rate of the air flowing through the flow passage based on the detection result obtained by the temperature sensor 101 and the detection result obtained by the physiological sensor 102a. Then, the control means 105 determines the driving conditions of the blowing means 6 based on the flow rate of the air calculated by the calculating means 104a, and controls the blowing means 6 according to the determined driving conditions.
また、 演算手段 1 0 4 aは、 生理センサ 1 0 2 aで検出された体温又は体温及 び脈拍に基づいて当該体温又は脈拍がそれぞれ所定の基準範囲内にあるか否かを 判断し、 当該体温又は脈拍が基準範囲以外にあると判断したときに、 警報を発す る旨の信号を警報装置 1 0 7に送出する。 これにより、 着用者の体に何らかの異 常が生じた、 又は生じそうになったときに、 着用者本人やその周囲の人にその旨 を知らせることができる。 Further, the arithmetic means 104a determines whether or not the body temperature or the pulse is within a predetermined reference range based on the body temperature or the body temperature and the pulse detected by the physiological sensor 102a, respectively. Raises an alarm when the body temperature or pulse is judged to be out of the reference range To the alarm device 107. This allows the wearer and the people around him to be notified of any anomalies that may occur or are about to occur in the wearer's body.
