Description
図1に示すように、上記空気調和装置(1)は、室外ユニット(2)と室内ユニット(3)とを備えている。室外ユニット(2)には、圧縮機(4)、室外熱交換器(5)、膨張弁(6)、四路切換弁(7)および室外ファン(8)が設けられている。室内ユニット(3)には、室内熱交換器(22)および室内ファン(21)が設けられている。
上記室内ユニット(3)の構成を図2及び図3に基づいて詳しく説明する。
次に、上記掃除ユニット(100)内の構成を図4~図12に基づいて詳しく説明する。
次に、上記室内ユニット(3)における運転動作について説明する。上記室内ユニット(3)は、冷暖房を行う通常運転と、エアフィルタ(30)の清掃を行うフィルタ清掃運転とが切換可能に構成されている。
通常運転では、ダンパボックス(81)のダンパ(82)を閉じた状態にする(図12(A)の状態)。エアフィルタ(30)は、回転しない停止状態に設定される。
フィルタ清掃運転では、図1に示す冷媒回路において圧縮機(4)が停止されて冷媒が循環しない状態となる。このフィルタ清掃運転では、「塵埃除去動作」と「ブラシ清掃動作」と「塵埃搬送動作」と「塵埃排出動作」とが切換可能に構成されている。なお、上記「塵埃除去動作」、「ブラシ清掃動作」及び「塵埃搬送動作」の間は、化粧パネル(11)に設けられたLED(16)が点灯するように構成されている。これにより、これらの動作を行っている旨をユーザーに対して報知することができる。
先ず「塵埃除去動作」では、室内ファン(21)が弱風を吹き出すように運転される。そして、回転ブラシ(51)の植毛部(51b)をエアフィルタ(30)に接触させた状態で、エアフィルタ(30)を、回転ブラシ(51)の植毛部(51b)の毛を逆立てるように回転移動させる(図13(B)及び図14(A)の白抜き矢印方向)。なお、このとき、回転ブラシ(51)は停止状態である。
上記エアフィルタ(30)の回転が停止すると、「塵埃除去動作」から「ブラシ清掃動作」に切り換わる。
上述した「塵埃除去動作」および「ブラシ清掃動作」時には、貯留量検出機構(70)によって塵埃貯留容器(60)における塵埃貯留量が検出される。つまり、発光LED(72)による光の光度がフォトトランジスタ(73)によって検出される。そして、フォトトランジスタ(73)の検出光度が設定値(下限値)以下になると、塵埃貯留容器(60)における塵埃量が所定量に達したとして、「塵埃搬送動作」に切り換えられる。
