Abstract
Description
(a)化粧板は、前吹きの際に上方を略塞ぎ、上吹きの際に前方を略塞ぐものの、運転停止時は、上方または前方のいずれかが開口する(一方に吹出通路が形成されたままになる)ため、意匠性の低下や、埃や異物が内部に侵入する。また、設計図面上は隙間がない寸法で設計した場合でも、部材成型精度、組立て精度のバラつきにより隙間が開いてしまう。
(b)また、前吹きを可能にするものの、運転時に調和空気を下方に吹出すことができない。
また、第2の目的は、運転時に調和空気を下方に吹き出すことができる床置き形空気調和機を得るものである。
さらに、第3の目的は、吹き出し風の方向を調整することができる床置き形空気調和機を得るものである。
図1~図7は本発明の実施の形態1に係る床置き形空気調和機を模式的に説明するものであって、図1は全体を示す断面図、図2は運転停止時の風向調整機構を示す断面図、図3は冷房運転時の風向調整機構を示す断面図、図4は暖房運転時の風向調整機構を示す断面図、図5は風向調整機構の動作を示す断面図,図6は制御系を説明するブロック図、図7は制御系を説明するフローチャートである。なお、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
筐体10の筐体前面11には前面開口部12が形成され、前面開口部12が空気を吸い込むための「吸い込み口」として機能している。また、筐体前面11の上方には前方吹出口13が形成され、筐体10の筐体背面16寄りに筐体天面15が配置され、筐体天面15の前方吹出口13寄りの範囲に上方吹出口14が形成されている。
そして、筐体前面11と熱交換器23との間にフィルタ21が配置され、熱交換器23の下方にドレン受け22が設けられている。
また、筐体10の前面にはリモコン入力部81が設置され、リモコン90から発せられた信号は、リモコン入力部81を経由して制御部80に入力される(これについては、別途詳細に説明する)。
図2において、前方吹出口13に前方吹出調整部材30が回動自在に設置され、上方吹出口14に上方吹出調整部材40aおよび上方吹出調整部材40bが回動自在に設置されている。すなわち、前方吹出調整部材30、上方吹出調整部材40aおよび上方吹出調整部材40bと、これらを回転する前方吹出調整部材モータ30m、上方吹出調整部材モータ40amおよび上方吹出調整部材モータ40bmとによって「風向調整機構」が形成される。
また、上方吹出調整部材内面42aの筐体前面11側の端縁である上方内面前端45aとの至近距離での接近または当接を検知する干渉検知センサー(入力手段)70が設置されている。なお、干渉検知センサー70は、前記接近または当接を直接に検知するものに限定されるものではなく、上方内面前端45aから離れた位置において間接的に検知してもよい。そして、干渉検知センサー70の位置は図1~図5に示された位置に限定されるものではない。
なお、上方吹出調整部材40aと上方吹出調整部材40bとは同様の構成であるから、以下の説明において、これらが具備する構成等(例えば、上方吹出調整部材外面41a、上方吹出調整部材外面41b等)について、符号の添え字「a、b」の記載を省略する。
また、床置き形空気調和機100は上方吹出調整部材40aおよび上方吹出調整部材40bを具備するものであるが、本発明は上方吹出調整部材の数量を限定するものではなく、上方吹出調整部材40aを上方吹出口14の全域を閉じることができるものにして、上方吹出調整部材40bを撤去してもよいし、上方吹出調整部材40aおよび上方吹出調整部材40bに追加して、同様の構成の上方吹出調整部材を1または2以上設置してもよい。
前方吹出調整部材30は、側面視において略直角三角形状もしくは略扇形状であって、運転停止時は筐体前面11に連なった(運転中は、後記する回動によって筐体前面11に連ならない場合がある)平面である前方吹出調整部材外面31と、前方吹出調整部材外面31に略直角で断面円弧である前方吹出調整部材底面32と、略直角三角形状の斜面に相当する、運転停止時はケーシング中央面18に連なった曲面(断面略円弧)である前方吹出調整部材内面33とを具備している。
そして、前方吹出調整部材30の前方吹出調整部材内面33には前方吹出調整部材支点34が設けられ、前方吹出調整部材30は前方吹出調整部材支点34において筐体10に回動自在に設置され、図示しない駆動手段によって回動される。
上方吹出調整部材40は、運転停止時は筐体天面15に連なった(運転中は、後記する回動によって筐体天面15に連ならない場合がある)平面である上方吹出調整部材外面41と、上方吹出調整部材外面41に平行な上方吹出調整部材内面42と、上方吹出調整部材内面42に突出するように設置された上方吹出調整板腕43と、上方吹出調整板腕43の先端に設けられた上方吹出調整部材支点44と、を有している。
そして、上方吹出調整部材40は上方吹出調整部材支点44において筐体10に回動自在に設置され、図示しない駆動手段によって回動される。
以上のように、運転停止時は、前方吹出調整部材外面31が筐体前面11に連なった状態で、前方吹出調整部材30が前方吹出口13を閉じ、上方吹出調整部材外面41が筐体天面15に連なった状態で、上方吹出調整部材40が上方吹出口14を閉じる。
このとき、前方吹出調整部材外面31の上方の端縁である前方外面上端31aと、上方吹出調整部材内面42aの筐体前面11側の端縁である上方内面前端45aとは、略当接している。
したがって、運転停止時に、前方吹出口13(前吹きの際の吹出風路)および上方吹出口14(上吹きの際の吹出風路)の両方を閉じることができるから、床置き形空気調和機100の外観の意匠性の低下が抑えられると共に、筐体10内への埃や異物の侵入が抑えられる。
図3において、冷房運転時は、上方吹出調整部材40が上方吹出口14を開き、前方吹出調整部材30が前方吹出口13を閉じた状態となり、ファン24を通過した空気(冷風)が上方吹出口14から上方に送られる。そして、上方吹出調整部材40の傾動角度は適宜設定することができるから、冷風の吹き出し方向を適宜調整することが可能になっている。
このとき、前方吹出調整部材30の前方吹出調整部材内面33は、ケーシング中央面18に連なるため、前方吹出調整部材内面33とケーシング中央面18とによって形成される曲面(断面略円弧)と、該曲面に対向したケーシング背面17とによって囲まれた、ファン24から上方吹出口14に至る風路が形成される。
また、ケーシング中央面18に連なって筐体前面11側に形成されたケーシング前面19は断面円弧であって、断面円弧である前方吹出調整部材底面32との間に僅かな隙間を介して対向している。したがって、冷風を案内する際、冷風が、ケーシング前面19と前方吹出調整部材底面32との間に吹き込むことが最小に抑えられている。
図4において、暖房運転時は、上方吹出調整部材40が上方吹出口14を閉じ、前方吹出調整部材30が前方吹出口13を開いた状態となり、ファン24を通過した空気(温風)が前方吹出口13から前方に送られる。
このとき、前方吹出調整部材30の前方吹出調整部材外面31は、上方吹出調整部材40の上方吹出調整部材内面42と平行で、上方吹出調整部材内面42に略当接している。このため、ケーシング背面17と上方吹出調整部材内面42と前方吹出調整部材内面33とによって、略滑らかに連なった曲面(以下「上側曲面」と称す)が形成される。また、ケーシング中央面18とケーシング前面19とに連なって曲面(以下「下側曲面」と称す)が形成されるから、上側曲面と下側曲面とによって囲まれた、ファン24から前方吹出口13に至る風路が形成される。
すなわち、床置き形空気調和機100は断面略直角三角形状の前方吹出調整部材30を有するから、暖房運転時に、前方吹出調整部材30の前方吹出調整部材内面33(略直角三角形の斜面に相当する)に案内されて、温風を下方に吹き出すことが可能になっている。
なお、前方吹出調整部材30は所定の回動角度に停止することができるから、適宜回動角度を調整することによって、温風の吹き出し方向を調整することができる。
なお、前方吹出調整部材30を中空構造にすることで、軽量化を図ってもよい。
図5において、前方吹出調整部材30を開く際の回動動作について説明する。
上方吹出調整部材40が上方吹出口14を閉じた状態で、前方吹出調整部材30を回動しようとすると、前方外面上端31aが上方吹出調整部材内面42aに干渉する。そこで、少なくとも上方吹出調整部材40aを一度開く動作(図中、時計回り)を与えることによって、前記干渉を回避することができる。
なお、図5において、上方吹出調整部材40aおよび上方吹出調整部材40bの両方を回動しているが、上方吹出調整部材40aと上方吹出調整部材40bとが干渉しない場合には、上方吹出調整部材40aだけを回動すればよい。
さらに、前方吹出調整部材30の前方外面上端31aの近くに前方吹出調整部材支点34が設けられ、前方吹出調整部材30のみを回動しても、前方外面上端31aと上方吹出調整部材内面42との干渉が無視できる場合には、上方吹出調整部材40aを回動する必要がない。
図6において、床置き形空気調和機100は、床置き形空気調和機100の起動/停止や運転モードを設定するためのリモコン90を具備している。また、前方吹出調整部材外面31の上方の端縁である前方外面上端31aと、上方吹出調整部材内面42aの筐体前面11側の端縁である上方内面前端45aとの至近距離での接近または当接を検知する干渉検知センサー(入力手段)70が設置され、前方吹出調整部材30は前方吹出調整部材モータ(出力手段)31によって回転され、上方吹出調整部材40a、40bはそれぞれ上方吹出調整部材モータ(出力手段)41a、41bによって回転される。
すなわち、制御部80には、リモコン90からリモコン入力部81を経由した指示内容と、干渉検知センサー70の検知情報とが入力され、前方吹出調整部材モータ30mおよび上方吹出調整部材モータ40am、40bmをそれぞれ回転させる信号が出力される。
図7において、制御部80は、リモコン90からの信号によって冷房運転であるのか暖房運転であるのか判断し(S1)、例えば、冷房運転の場合、運転メニューに応じて上方吹出調整部材モータ40am、40bmを回転させる信号を発して、上方吹出調整部材40a、40bを開く(S2)。運転モードによっては、上方吹出調整部材40a、40bの一方のみが回転される場合がある。
そうすると、冷房運転が開始され、前記のように冷風が上方向に吹き出される(S3)。そして、リモコン90からの停止信号が入力されると(S4)、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を停止して(S5)、上方吹出調整部材40a、40bを閉じる(S6)。
さらに、リモコン90からの停止信号が入力されると(S11)、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を停止して(S12)、暖房運転開始時と同様に、上方吹出調整部材40aを少し開き(S13)、ついで、前方吹出調整部材30を閉じ(S14)、最後に、上方吹出調整部材40aを閉じる(S15)。
図8~図10は本発明の実施の形態2に係る床置き形空気調和機を模式的に説明するものであって、図8は運転停止時の風向調整機構を示す断面図、図9は冷房運転時の風向調整機構を示す断面図、図10は暖房運転時の風向調整機構の動作を示す断面図である。なお、実施の形態1と同じ部分または相当する部分には同じ符号を付し、一部の説明を省略する。また、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
図8において、床置き形空気調和機200が有する前方吹出調整部材50は前方吹出調整部材モータ50mによって回転されるものであって、運転停止時は筐体前面11に連なった(運転中は、回動によって筐体前面11に連ならない場合がある)平面である前方吹出調整部材外面51と、前方吹出調整部材外面51に平行な前方吹出調整部材内面52と、前方吹出調整部材内面52に突出するように設置された前方吹出調整板腕53と、前方吹出調整板腕53の先端に設けられた前方吹出調整部材支点54と、を有している。
そして、前方吹出調整部材50は前方吹出調整部材支点54において筐体10に回動自在に設置され、図示しない駆動手段によって回動される。
このとき、前方吹出調整部材外面51の上方の端縁である前方外面上端51aと、上方内面前端45とは、略当接している。
したがって、運転停止時に、前方吹出口13および上方吹出口14の両方を閉じることができるから、床置き形空気調和機200の外観の意匠性の低下が抑えられると共に、筐体10内への埃や異物の侵入が抑えられる。
図9において、冷房運転時は、上方吹出調整部材40が上方吹出口14を開き、前方吹出調整部材50が前方吹出口13を閉じた状態となり、ファン24を通過した空気(冷風)が上方吹出口14から上方に送られる。
このとき、前方吹出調整部材50は回動し(図中、反時計回り)、前方吹出調整部材内面52の下方の端縁である前方内面下端52bが、ケーシング前面19のケーシング中央面18寄りに移動しているから、前方吹出調整部材内面52とケーシング中央面18とによって形成される曲面と、該曲面に対向したケーシング背面17とによって囲まれた、ファン24から上方吹出口14に至る風路が形成される。
また、ケーシング前面19は断面円弧であって、その曲率半径は、前方吹出調整部材支点54と前方内面下端52bとの距離に略同じである(正確には、僅かに大きい)ため、冷風を案内する際、冷風が、ケーシング前面19と前方内面下端52bとの間に吹き込むことが最小に抑えられている。
図10において、暖房運転時は、上方吹出調整部材40が上方吹出口14を閉じ、前方吹出調整部材50が前方吹出口13を開いた状態となり、ファン24を通過した空気(温風)が前方吹出口13から前方に送られる。
このとき、前方吹出調整部材50は傾斜して、ケーシング背面17と上方吹出調整部材内面42と前方吹出調整部材内面52とによって、略滑らかに連なった曲面(以下「上側曲面」と称す)が形成される。また、ケーシング中央面18とケーシング前面19とに連なって曲面(以下「下側曲面」と称す)が形成されるから、上側曲面と下側曲面とによって囲まれた、ファン24から前方吹出口13に至る風路が形成される。
なお、前方吹出調整部材50は所定の回動角度に停止することができるから、適宜回動角度を調整することによって、温風の吹き出し方向を調整することができる。
図11~図14Bは本発明の実施の形態3に係る床置き形空気調和機を模式的に説明するものであって、図11は一部を拡大して運転停止姿勢示す断面図、図12は構成部材の一部(前方吹出調整部材)を抜き出して示す断面図、図13Aは構成部材の一部(前方に配置された上方吹出調整部材)を抜き出して示す断面図、図13Bは構成部材の一部(後方に配置された上方吹出調整部材)を抜き出して示す断面図、図14Aは構成部材の一部(筐体天面)を抜き出して示す断面図、図14Bは構成部材の一部(ケーシング前面)を抜き出して示す断面図である。なお、実施の形態1と同じ部分または相当する部分には同じ符号を付し、一部の説明を省略する。なお、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
図12において、F部材330は、側面視において略直角三角形状ないし略扇形であって、運転停止時は筐体前面11に連なった(運転中は、後記する回動によって筐体前面11に連ならない場合がある)平面である前方吹出調整部材外面(以下「F外面」と称す)31と、F外面31の前方外面下端31bに繋がり、F外面31に対して垂直な平面である前方吹出調整部材底面(以下「F底面」と称す)334と、F外面31の前方外面上端31aに繋がった前方吹出調整部材天面(以下「F天面」と称す)335と、を具備している。
また、F天面335の前方外面上端31bとは反対側の側縁335aに繋がり、F外面31に平行な前方吹出調整部材天面段差部(以下「F天面段差部」と称す)331と、F天面段差部331に繋がり、F外面31に対して前方外面下端31b側になる程、F外面31から離れる方向に傾斜した前方吹出調整部材天面傾斜部(以下「F天面傾斜部」と称す)332とを具備している。
すなわち、F天面段差部331とF天面傾斜部332とによって「前方吹出調整部材被重なり範囲」が形成されている。
さらに、F内面段差部333のFの33bとは反対側の側縁32bと前方外面下端31bとが、平面状のF底面334によって繋がっている。
そして、F内面33に前方吹出調整部材支点34が設けられている。
図13Aにおいて、前面寄りの配置されたU部材340aは、運転停止時は筐体天面15と同一面に停止する(運転中は、後記する回動によって筐体天面15に連ならない場合がある)平面である上方吹出調整部材外面(以下「U外面」と称す)41aと、U外面41aに平行な上方吹出調整部材内面(以下「U内面」と称す)42aと、U内面42aに突出するように設置された上方吹出調整板腕43aと、上方吹出調整板腕43aの先端に設けられた上方吹出調整部材支点44aと、を具備している。
また、上方外面後端48aに繋がって、U外面41aに垂直な上方吹出調整部材後端垂直面(以下「UR垂直面」と称す)342aと、UR垂直面342aの上方外面後端48aとは反対側の端部49aと上方内面後端46aとを繋ぐ平面状の上方吹出調整部材後端傾斜面(以下「UR傾斜面」と称す)343aとを具備している。すなわち、UR傾斜面343aが「上方吹出調整部材後重なり範囲」を形成している。
なお、運転停止時(U外面41aが筐体天面15と同一面内に位置している)、UF円弧状面341aは前方斜め下方に向かった凸形状を呈し、UR傾斜面343aは前方斜め下方に向かっている。
図13Bにおいて、後面寄りの配置されたU部材340bは、運転停止時は筐体天面15と同一面に停止する(運転中は、後記する回動によって筐体天面15に連ならない場合がある)平面である上方吹出調整部材外面41bと、上方吹出調整部材外面41bに平行な上方吹出調整部材内面42bと、上方吹出調整部材内面42bに突出するように設置された上方吹出調整板腕43b、上方吹出調整板腕43bの先端に設けられた上方吹出調整部材支点44bと、を具備している。
そして、UF外円弧面341bとUF内円弧面342bとの間隔は前面に近づく程、徐々に小さくなり、それぞれの先端は断面円弧状の上方吹出調整部材前端先端面(以下「UF先端面」と称す)343bによって滑らかに繋がっている。
すなわち、UF外円弧面341bとUF内円弧面342bとによって「上方吹出調整部材前被重なり範囲」が形成されている。
なお、運転停止時(U外面41bが筐体天面15と同一面内に位置している)、UF外円弧面341bおよびUF内円弧面342bは前方斜め上方に向かった凸形状を呈し、UR傾斜面345bは前方斜め下方に向かっている。
図14Aにおいて、筐体天面15には、天面前端15aに繋がって、前面に近づく程、下方になるように傾斜した筐体天面傾斜面315が設けられ、筐体天面傾斜面315が「筐体天面被重なり範囲」を形成している。
また、筐体天面傾斜面315に平行で、筐体天面傾斜面315よりも下方に位置する筐体天面下傾斜面316が形成され、筐体天面下傾斜面316には、吸水材317が設置されて、吸水材317の表面(上面)は筐体天面傾斜面315に連なっている。
図14Bにおいて、ケーシング段差面318は、ケーシング中央面18とケーシング前面19との間に形成されたものであって、筐体前面1に平行になっている。
運転停止時は、F外面31が筐体前面11に連なった状態で、F部材330が前方吹出口13を閉じ、U外面41a、41bが筐体天面15に連なった状態で、U部材340a、340bが上方吹出口14を閉じる(以下、「運転停止姿勢」と称す)。
このとき、F部材330のF天面335と前面側のU部材340aのU外面41aとが同一面内に位置し、F部材330のF天面段差部331およびF天面傾斜部332とによって形成される凹部(窪み)である「前方吹出調整部材被重なり範囲」に、U部材340aのUF円弧状面341aである「上方吹出調整部材前重なり範囲」が重なって、F天面傾斜部332にUF円弧状面341aが接している。
このため、設計図面上は隙間がない寸法で設計したにもかかわらず、部材成型精度や組立て精度にバラつきが生じた場合でも、部材間に隙間が形成されるようなことがなく、意匠性が向上すると共に、筐体10内への上方向からの塵埃等の侵入を防止することができる。
さらに、重なり部同士の一方を平面に、他方を該平面側に凸の断面円弧状にしているが、一方を断面円弧状にして、他方を平面にしてもよい。すなわち、F天面傾斜部332を後方斜め上方向に凸の断面円弧状にし、UF円弧状面341aを平面状にしてもよい。同様に、UR傾斜面343aと後方斜め下方に凸の断面円弧状にし、UF外円弧面341bを前方になるほど下方に傾斜した平面状にしてもよい。
さらに、ケーシング段差面318を筐体前面11に対して非平行にして(傾斜させ)、F内面段差部333をF外面31に対して、前記非平行と同じ程度の非平行にしても(傾斜させても)よい。
図15において、冷房運転時は、U部材340a、340bが上方吹出口14を開き、F部材330が前方吹出口13を閉じた状態となり、ファン24を通過した空気(冷風)が上方吹出口14から上方に送られる。
このため、F内面33とケーシング中央面18とによって形成される曲面(断面略円弧)と、該曲面に対向したケーシング背面17とによって囲まれた、ファン24から上方吹出口14に至る風路が形成され、ファン24によって送られた冷風は、斜め上方に向かって吹き出される。
また、F内面段差部333はケーシング段差面318に接しているから、ファン24によって送られた冷風の筐体前面11側への洩れが防止されている。そして、F内面段差部333およびケーシング段差面318の一方または両方に弾性体(前記のように消音や減音に追加して、気密性の向上を図るもの。図示しない)を設置しておけば、前記洩れをより確実に防止することができる。
さらに、仮に、F内面段差部333とケーシング段差面318との間に隙間が形成されたとしても、ケーシング前面19とF底面334とは僅かな隙間を介して対向しているから、ケーシング中央面18から筐体前面11に至る流路(隙間)は、断面L字状で、流路の途中が折れ曲がっているため、かかる流路を経由して筐体10の前面側に漏れ出す冷風は最小に抑えられる。
図15において、冷房運転開始時のU部材340a、340bの動作について説明する。
前面側のU部材340aと後面側のU部材340bとは一部が重なっているため、両者を同時に回動することができない。そのため、まず、後面側で下側にあるUF円弧状面341aが下方に移動するように、後方のU部材340bを矢印R1で示す方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に回動して、予め設定された停止位置に停止する。その後で、前面側で上側にあるUR傾斜面343aが下方に移動するように、前方のU部材340aを矢印R2で示す方向(図中、時計回り方向)に回動して、予め設定された停止位置に停止する。
一方、冷房運転終了時は、前記冷房運転開始時の各ステップを逆に辿る動作をする。すなわち、まず、前方のU部材340aを矢印R2とは反対の方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に回動して、前方のU部材340aのUF円弧状面341aを、F部材330のF天面傾斜部332に押し当てる。
その後で、後方のU部材340bを矢印R1とは反対の方向(図中、時計回り方向)に回動して、後方のU部材340bのUF円弧状面341aを後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面343aに押し当てる。このとき、後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面345bは筐体天面傾斜面315に接する。
図16において、暖房運転時は、U部材340a、340bが上方吹出口14を閉じ、F部材330が前方吹出口13を開いた状態となり、ファン24を通過した空気(温風)が前方吹出口13から前方に送られる。
このとき、前方のU部材340aのU内面42a、後方のU部材340bのU内面42bおよび筐体天面15は、同一面内に位置し、それぞれの一部は前記のように重なっている。また、F部材330のF外面31は、前方のU部材340aのU内面42a(正確には、上方内面前端45a)に接し、U外面41aと平行に近い姿勢になっている(以下、「暖房運転姿勢」と称す)。
このとき、筐体天面15と後面側のU内面42bとは、後面側のU内面42bと前面側のU内面42aとは、それぞれ前記のように一部が重なり、前面側のU内面42aとF外面31とは一部において接しているから、上側曲面からの温風の洩れ出が最小に抑えられている。
なお、F部材330は所定の回動角度に停止することができるから、適宜回動角度を調整することによって、温風の吹き出し方向を調整することができる。このとき、F部材330の前方外面上端31aは前面側のU部材340aのU内面42aに気密的に接している。
図16、図17Aおよび図17Bにおいて、暖房運転時のF部材330の動作について説明する。運転停止時に、F部材330の前方吹出調整部材天面傾斜部332に、前方のU部材340aのUF円弧状面341aが覆い被さっている(重なっている)ため、かかる重なりを解消してからでないと、F部材330を回動することができない。
すなわち、まず、前記冷房運転時に準じて、下側にあるUF外円弧面341bが下方に移動するように、後方のU部材340bを矢印R3で示す方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して停止する。その後で、上側にあるUF円弧状面341aが上方に移動するように、前方のU部材340aを矢印R4で示す方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して停止する。このとき、後方のU部材340bの回動角度は、前方のU部材340aを回動させても、上方外面後端48aがUF先端面343bに干渉しない程度にしている(図17A参照)。
さらに、前方のU部材340aを前記方向とは反対の方向(矢印R6で示す方向(図中、反時計回り方向))に僅かに回動して、上方吹出調整部材内面42aをF外面31に押し当て、さらに、後方のU部材340bを前記方向とは反対の方向に回動して(矢印R7で示す方向(図中、反時計回り方向))に僅かに回動して、UF外円弧面341bを前方のU部材340aのUR傾斜面343aに押し当てる。
一方、暖房運転終了時は、前記暖房運転開始時の各ステップを逆に辿る動作をする。すなわち、まず、後方のU部材340bを矢印R7とは反対の方向(図中、時計回り方向))に僅かに回動し、前方のU部材340aを矢印R6とは反対の方向(図中、時計回り方向)に僅かに回動してする。
そこで、F部材330を矢印R5とは反対の方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に回動して、F内面段差部333をケーシング段差面318に押し当てる。
さらに、前方のU部材340aを矢印R4とは反対の方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に回動して、前方のU部材340aのUF円弧状面341aを、F部材330のF天面傾斜部332に押し当てる。
その後で、後方のU部材340bを矢印R3とは反対の方向(図中、時計回り方向)に回動して、後方のU部材340bのUF外円弧面341bを後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面343aに押し当てる。このとき、後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面345bは筐体天面傾斜面315に接する。
図18において、床置き形空気調和機300は、床置き形空気調和機300の起動/停止や運転モードを設定するためのリモコン390を具備している。また、F部材330は前方吹出調整部材モータ(出力手段)330mによって回動され、U部材340a、340bはそれぞれ上方吹出調整部材モータ(出力手段)340am、340bmによって回動される。
すなわち、制御部380には、リモコン390からリモコン入力部381を経由した指示内容が入力され、前方吹出調整部材モータ330mおよび上方吹出調整部材モータ340am、340bmをそれぞれ回動させる信号が出力される。
図19A、図19Bおよび図15~図17Bにおいて、床置き形空気調和機300における制御部380の働きについて説明する。
制御部380は、まず、リモコン390からの信号によって冷房運転(上吹運転)であるのか暖房運転(下吹運転)であるのかを判断する(S1)。
図19Aにおいて、冷房運転開始時には、前記のように、運転終了姿勢においてU部材340aとU部材340bとは一部が重なっているため、両者を同時に回動することができない。そのため、まず、下側にあるUF外円弧面341bが下方に移動するように、後方のU部材340bを矢印R1で示す方向(図中、反時計回り方向)に回動して、予め設定された停止位置に停止する(S31)。
その後で、上側にあるUR傾斜面343aが下方に移動するように、前方のU部材340aを矢印R2で示す方向(図中、時計回り方向)に回動して、予め設定された停止位置に停止する(S32)。
すなわち、制御部380は、運転メニューに応じて上方吹出調整部材モータ340am、340bmを回動させる信号を発して、U部材340a、340bを回動して、上方吹出口14を開く。そうすると、冷房運転姿勢(図15参照)になるから、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を起動する(S33)。
さらに、リモコン390から停止信号が入力されると(S34)、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を停止する(S35)。
そして、前記冷房運転開始時の各ステップを逆に辿る動作をする。すなわち、まず、前方のU部材340aを矢印R2とは反対の方向(図15において反時計回り方向)に回動して、前方のU部材340aのUF円弧状面341aを、F部材330のF天面傾斜部332に押し当てる(S36)。
その後で、後方のU部材340bを矢印R1とは反対の方向(図15において時計回り方向)に回動して、後方のU部材340bのUF外円弧面341bを後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面343aに押し当てる(S37)。このとき、後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面345bは筐体天面傾斜面315に接し、運転停止姿勢になる。
図19Bにおいて、前記のように、運転停止時に、F部材330の前方吹出調整部材天面傾斜部332に、前方のU部材340aのUF円弧状面341aが覆い被さっている(重なっている)ため、かかる重なりを解消してからでないと、F部材330を回動することができない。
すなわち、まず、前記冷房運転時に準じて、下側にあるUF外円弧面341bが下方に移動するように、後方のU部材340bを矢印R3で示す方向(図17Aにおいて反時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して停止する(S41)。
その後で、上側にあるUF円弧状面341aが上方に移動するように、前方のU部材340aを矢印R4で示す方向(図17Aにおいて反時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して停止する(S42)。このとき、後方のU部材340bの回動角度は、前方のU部材340aを回動させても、上方外面後端48aがUF先端面343bに干渉しない程度にしている(図17A参照)。
さらに、前方のU部材340aを矢印R6で示す方向(図16において反時計回り方向に僅かに回動して、U下面42aをF外面31に押し当てる(S44)。
さらに、後方のU部材340bを矢印R7で示す方向(図16において反時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して、UF外円弧面341bを前方のU部材340aのUR傾斜面343aに押し当てる(S45)。
そうすると、暖房運転姿勢になるから、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を起動する(S46)。
さらに、リモコン390から停止信号が入力されると(S47)、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を停止する(S48)。
そして、前記暖房運転開始時の各ステップを逆に辿る動作をする。すなわち、まず、後方のU部材340bを矢印R7とは反対の方向(図16において時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して停止し(S49)、前方のU部材340aを矢印R6とは反対の方向(図16において時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して停止する(S50)。
そこで、F部材330を矢印R5とは反対の方向(図17Bにおいて反時計回り方向)に回動して、F内面段差部333をケーシング段差面318に押し当てる(S51)。
その後で、後方のU部材340bを矢印R3とは反対の方向(図17Aにおいて時計回り方向)に回動して、後方のU部材340bのUF外円弧面341bを後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面343aに押し当てる(S53)。このとき、後方のU部材340bのUR傾斜面345bは筐体天面傾斜面315に接し、運転停止姿勢になる。
図20A~図20Cは本発明の実施の形態3に係る床置き形空気調和機の構成部材の変形例を模式的に説明するものであって、図20Aはケーシング前面、図20Bは上方吹出調整部材、図20Cは前方吹出調整部材である。なお、図11~図19における部材の同じ部分または相当する部分には同じ符号を付し、一部の説明を省略する。なお、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
なお、凹凸419aの形状や大きさは限定するものではなく、例えば、凹部が深さが1mm程度の断面正方形であって、凸部の幅(凹部同士の間隔)が1mm程度である。
また、ケーシング段差面318に、弾性部材418が設置されている。弾性部材418はゴム部材等の弾力性を具備するものであるから、消音や減音、あるいは気密性(シール性)が向上する。
前方外面部材431は前方外面上端31aおよび前方外面下端31bに、それぞれF内面33側に突出する前方上フランジ431aおよび前方下フランジ431bが形成されている。
さらに、F底面334の前面側の先端は前方下フランジ431bに接合され、F底面334の下面には、F外面31に平行な複数の凹凸434が設けられている。
さらに、面側のU部材340aのUF円弧状面341aとF天面傾斜部332との直接接触が避けられ、断熱材被重なり面435が消音や減音機能を具備するから、前面側のU部材340aの一部が前方吹出調整部材430に重なる際の音や振動の発生が抑えられる。
さらに、凹凸434によって、F底面334とケーシング前面319との隙間を調和空気が流れ難くなっている。
以上の変形例は適宜選択してその一部を床置き形空気調和機300に適用することができるものである。
図21A~図23は本発明の実施の形態4に係る床置き形空気調和機を模式的に説明するものであって、図21Aおよび図21Bは一部を拡大して上下吹出運転姿勢を示す断面図、図22は制御系を示すブロック図、図23は制御系を説明するフローチャートである。なお、実施の形態3と同じ部分または相当する部分には同じ符号を付し、一部の説明を省略する。なお、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
床置き形空気調和機400は、暖房運転開始時に、一定時間の間、調和空気を上方と前方の両方に吹き出すようにしたものである。
すなわち、暖房運転開始時の十分に加熱されていない調和空気の全量が、使用者に向かって吹き出されることを防止して、快適性を担保する。また、冷房運転開始時または暖房運転開始時に、十分に冷却または加熱されていないながらも、ある程度は冷却または加熱されている調和空気の一部を前方に吹き出して、これを吸引する「ショートサーキット」を実行することによって、熱交換器23の温度上昇または温度冷却を促進させるものである。
図21A~図23において、床置き形空気調和機400は、熱交換器23の温度を測定する温度センサー423と、温度センサー423の測定結果が入力される制御部480が設置されている。
制御部480は、まず、リモコン390からの信号によって冷房運転(上吹運転)であるのか、暖房運転(下吹運転)であるのか、上下運転を実行した後で冷房運転(上吹運転)または暖房運転(下吹運転)をするのかを判断する(S61)。
冷房運転(上吹運転)である場合は、図19の「C」に進み、暖房運転(下吹運転)である場合は、図19の「H」に進み、それぞれ実施の形態3における制御をする(図19参照)。
その後で、上側にあるUR傾斜面343aが下方に移動するように、前方のU部材340aを矢印R2で示す方向(図21Aにおいて時計回り方向)に回動して、予め設定された停止位置に停止する(S63)。すなわち、制御部480は、運転メニューに応じて上方吹出調整部材モータ340am、340bmを回動させる信号を発して、U部材340a、340bを回動して、上方吹出口14を開く。
そこで、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24を起動して冷房運転または暖房運転を開始する(S65)。
さらに、温度センサー423が測定した温度が、予め設定してある下吹設定温度にまで下降または上昇したところで(S66)、冷房運転姿勢または暖房運転姿勢をとる。
なお、冷房運転を継続する際、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24の運転状態は一定でない場合があり、適宜制御されるものである。
そして、前面側のU部材430aを矢印R2とは反対の方向に回動して停止し(S69)、さらに、後面側のU部材430bを矢印R1とは反対の方向に回動して停止する(S70)。すなわち、前面開口部12を閉じて、冷房運転姿勢(図15参照)をとり、その後は、図19Bにおける「B」に進み、暖房運転における各ステップを実行する。
なお、暖房運転を継続する際、冷凍サイクルおよびファン24の運転状態は一定(不変)でない場合があり、適宜制御されるものである。例えば、運転を開始した当初は、ファン24の回転数を小さくして、調和空気の吹き出し速度を比較的低くする場合がある。
図24および図25は本発明の実施の形態5に係る床置き形空気調和機を模式的に説明するものであって、図24は一部を拡大して運転停止姿勢を示す断面図、図25は制御系を説明するフローチャートである。なお、実施の形態3と同じ部分または相当する部分には同じ符号を付し、一部の説明を省略する。なお、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
床置き形空気調和機500は、本来、前面側のU部材340aのUR傾斜面343aに後面側のU部材340bのUF円弧状面341aが接するべきところ、運転停止時に、何らかの理由(例えば、子供の悪戯等)によって、前面側のU部材340aのU外面41aに後面側のU部材340bのUF先端面343bが接している場合、すなわち、両者の重なりの上下関係が逆転した場合に対応することができるようにしたものである。
次に、前方のU部材340aを矢印R11で示す方向(図24において反時計回り方向)に僅かに回動して、予め設定された停止位置に停止する(S82)。
そして、図19Aにおける「S1」に進む。
一方、両者の重なりが本来の上下関係になっているときは、ステップS81、82において、後方のU部材340bおよび前方のU部材340a回動しないまま、運転停止時の姿勢を保っている(上方吹出調整部材モータ40am、40bmは滑るため)。このとき、後方のU部材340bは回動可能になっている。
図26A~図26Cは本発明の実施の形態6に係る床置き形空気調和機を模式的に説明するものであって、図26Aは上面図、図26Bは筐体の側面カバーを透視して示す左側面図、図26Cは筐体の側面カバーを透視して示す右側面図である。なお、実施の形態1同じ部分または相当する部分には同じ符号を付し、一部の説明を省略する。なお、各図は模式的に描かれたものであって、本発明はかかる形態に限定されるものではない。
したがって、前方吹出調整部材モータ30mと上方吹出調整部材モータ40am、40bmとが干渉しない配置になっている。
よって、前方吹出調整部材モータ30mを設置する位置の自由度が増すと共に、前方吹出調整部材モータ30mを比較的小トルクの小型にしても、前方吹出調整部材30を確実に回動することができるから、その分、床置き形空気調和機600の軽量化や、製造コストの低減を図ることが可能になる。
