空気調和装置の室内機Air conditioner indoor unit
 この発明は、室内空気の温度を検出する温度センサを有する空気調和装置の室内機に関する。 This invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner having a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of room air.
 従来から、クロスフローファンの上流側に熱交換器が配設された空気調和機の室内機が知られている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。特許文献1に記載された従来の室内機では、筐体に外気連通口が形成されており、外気連通口の近傍に室温センサが配設されている。特許文献1に記載された従来の室内機では、クロスフローファンが動作すると、外気連通口から室内の空気が吸い込まれ、室温センサが、外気連通口から吸い込まれた室内の空気の温度を検出する。特許文献1に記載されたような従来の室内機では、熱交換器の下流側に配設されたクロスフローファンが、室内機の周囲から室内の空気を吸い込むことができるため、単純に外気連通口を設けるのみで、外気連通口から室内の空気が吸い込まれる。 Conventionally, an indoor unit of an air conditioner in which a heat exchanger is disposed on the upstream side of a crossflow fan is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

 ところで、近年、軸流ファンの下流側に熱交換器が配設された空気調和装置の室内機が提案されている。軸流ファンの下流側に熱交換器が配設された室内機は、軸流ファンが空気を押し込む構成であるため、単純に特許文献1に記載された外気連通孔を適用すると、軸流ファンで押し込まれた空気が、外気連通孔から吹き出されてしまう。したがって、軸流ファンの下流側に熱交換器が配設された室内機において、単純に特許文献1の外気連通孔を適用し、外気連通孔の近傍に温度センサを配置したとしても、温度センサは、室内空気の温度を精度良く検出することができない。また、外気連通孔から空気が吹き出されてしまうため、室内機の効率が低下してしまう。 Incidentally, in recent years, an indoor unit of an air conditioner in which a heat exchanger is disposed on the downstream side of an axial fan has been proposed. An indoor unit in which a heat exchanger is disposed on the downstream side of the axial fan has a configuration in which the axial fan pushes air. Therefore, when the outside air communication hole described in Patent Document 1 is simply applied, the axial fan The air pushed in is blown out from the outside air communication hole. Therefore, in an indoor unit in which a heat exchanger is disposed on the downstream side of the axial fan, even if the outside air communication hole of Patent Document 1 is simply applied and the temperature sensor is arranged in the vicinity of the outside air communication hole, the temperature sensor Cannot accurately detect the temperature of room air. Further, since air is blown out from the outside air communication hole, the efficiency of the indoor unit is lowered.
 この発明は、上記のような課題を背景としてなされたものであり、軸流ファンの下流側に熱交換器が配設された空気調和装置の室内機において、室内空気の温度を精度良く取得することを目的としている。 The present invention has been made against the background of the above problems, and in an indoor unit of an air conditioner in which a heat exchanger is disposed on the downstream side of an axial flow fan, the temperature of indoor air is accurately acquired. The purpose is that.

 この発明に係る空気調和装置の室内機は、吸入口と吹出口とを連通する風路の軸流ファンの上流側と室内機の外部とを連通するダクトを備えているため、軸流ファンが動作すると、ダクトに室内空気が流れる。そして、温度センサは、ダクトの内部に配設され、ダクトの内部を流れる空気の温度を検出するため、室内空気の温度を精度良く取得することができる。 The indoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present invention includes a duct that communicates the upstream side of the axial fan of the air passage that communicates the inlet and the outlet and the outside of the indoor unit.

It is comprised including the combination of. For example, the control device adjusts the strength, temperature, and the like of the conditioned air using the operation information input to the remote controller (not shown) and the information acquired by the temperature sensor 14 shown in FIG. For example, the electrical component box 7 is attached to the base 2, and the electrical component box 7 is accommodated inside the main body 28 by attaching the housing panel 8 to the base 2.
 図1に示すように、本体部28には、室内空気を本体部28の内部に吸い込むための吸入口20と、空調空気を空調対象域に供給するための吹出口22と、が形成されている。吸入口20は、図1および図6に示すように、本体部28の上部に形成されており、吹出口22は、図1に示すように、本体部28の下面および前面を含む領域に形成されている。吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路は、密閉状態に形成されている。吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路には、図2に記載の送風ユニット50および熱交換器4等が配設されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 28 is formed with an inlet 20 for sucking room air into the main body 28 and an outlet 22 for supplying conditioned air to the air-conditioned area. Yes. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the suction port 20 is formed in the upper portion of the main body portion 28, and the air outlet 22 is formed in a region including the lower surface and the front surface of the main body portion 28 as shown in FIG. 1. Has been. The air passage that communicates the suction port 20 and the air outlet 22 is formed in a sealed state. A blower unit 50, a heat exchanger 4 and the like shown in FIG. 2 are disposed in an air passage that connects the suction port 20 and the blower port 22.
 送風ユニット50は、図1および図7に示すように、吸入口20に設置されたファンガード51の下流側に、軸流ファン5を備えている。なお、この実施の形態の例では、2つのファンガード51が左右に並んで配設されており、2つのファンガード51のそれぞれの下方に軸流ファン5が配設されているが、この実施の形態の室内機1は、少なくとも1つの軸流ファン5を備えるものであればよい。軸流ファン5は、例えばプロペラファンであり、吸入口20から吸入した空気を、軸流ファン5の下流に押し込むものである。熱交換器4は、図示を省略してある室外機から接続配管3を介して供給された冷媒を空気と熱交換させるものである。熱交換器4の側部には、図8に示すように、伝熱管同士を接続するU字形状のU字配管41が接続されている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the blower unit 50 includes an axial fan 5 on the downstream side of the fan guard 51 installed at the suction port 20. In the example of this embodiment, two fan guards 51 are arranged side by side and the axial fan 5 is arranged below each of the two fan guards 51. The indoor unit 1 of the form may be any one provided with at least one axial fan 5. The axial fan 5 is a propeller fan, for example, and pushes air sucked from the suction port 20 downstream of the axial fan 5. The heat exchanger 4 exchanges heat between the refrigerant supplied from an outdoor unit (not shown) via the connection pipe 3 with air. As shown in FIG. 8, a U-shaped U-shaped pipe 41 that connects the heat transfer tubes is connected to the side of the heat exchanger 4.
 図1および図7に示すように、吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路に配設された軸流ファン5が動作すると、吸入口20から本体部28の内部に室内空気が吸い込まれ、吸い込まれた空気が風路に押し込まれる。軸流ファン5によって風路に押し込まれた空気は、熱交換器4で熱交換され、熱交換された空気が吹出口22から吹き出されることで、冷気または暖気の空調空気が空調対象域に供給される。なお、吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路は、密封されており、軸流ファン5によって押し込まれた空気が、吹出口22以外からは漏れないようになっている。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, when the axial fan 5 disposed in the air passage that connects the suction port 20 and the blower port 22 operates, the indoor air is sucked into the main body 28 from the suction port 20. The sucked air is pushed into the air path. The air pushed into the air passage by the axial fan 5 is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 4, and the heat-exchanged air is blown out from the air outlet 22, so that cold or warm air-conditioned air enters the air-conditioning target area. Supplied. In addition, the air path which connects the suction port 20 and the blower outlet 22 is sealed, and the air pushed in by the axial fan 5 does not leak from other than the blower outlet 22.
 図2に示すように、熱交換器4の下方には、ドレンパン6が配設される。ドレンパン6は、熱交換器4で発生したドレン水を受けるものである。また、ドレンパン6には、風路の一部分を構成し、熱交換器4で熱交換された空気を通過させる風路孔6aが形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, a drain pan 6 is disposed below the heat exchanger 4. The drain pan 6 receives drain water generated by the heat exchanger 4. Further, the drain pan 6 is formed with an air passage hole 6 a that constitutes a part of the air passage and allows the air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 4 to pass therethrough.
 図1に示すように、本体部28の基台2には、室内の室内空気を取り込むための、通気口10が形成されている。通気口10は、本体部28の側面の上方且つ背面側に形成されている。本体部28の内部には、図3に示すように、ダクト30が形成されており、図8に示すように、ダクト30の空気吸入孔32が、通気口10と対向して配設されている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the base 2 of the main body 28 is formed with a vent 10 for taking in indoor air. The vent 10 is formed above the side surface of the main body 28 and on the back side. As shown in FIG. 3, a duct 30 is formed inside the main body 28. As shown in FIG. 8, an air suction hole 32 of the duct 30 is disposed to face the vent hole 10. Yes.
[ダクト]
 ダクト30は、室内機1の吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路のうちの軸流ファン5の上流側と、室内機1の外部と、を連通するものである。ダクト30の空気吹出孔34は、風路の軸流ファン5の上流側と連通している。この実施の形態の例では、図4および図7に示すように、軸流ファン5の上流側と電気品室13とが、仕切板11で仕切られており、仕切板11には、連通孔12が形成されている。そして、ダクト30の空気吹出孔34は、仕切板11の連通孔12と対向して配設されている。図7に示すように、軸流ファン5が動作すると、通気口10と対向して配設された空気吸入孔32から、室内空気が吸入される。空気吸入孔32から吸入された室内空気は、ダクト30を通って空気吹出孔34から吹き出される。空気吹出孔34から吹き出された空気は、軸流ファン5に吸入され、軸流ファン5の下流に押し込まれる。
[duct]
The duct 30 communicates the upstream side of the axial fan 5 in the air path that communicates the inlet 20 and the outlet 22 of the indoor unit 1 with the outside of the indoor unit 1. The air blowing hole 34 of the duct 30 communicates with the upstream side of the axial flow fan 5 in the air path. In the example of this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 7, the upstream side of the axial fan 5 and the electrical component chamber 13 are partitioned by a partition plate 11, and the partition plate 11 has a communication hole. 12 is formed. The air blowing hole 34 of the duct 30 is disposed to face the communication hole 12 of the partition plate 11. As shown in FIG. 7, when the axial fan 5 operates, room air is sucked from the air suction holes 32 that are disposed to face the vent hole 10. The room air sucked from the air suction hole 32 is blown out from the air blowing hole 34 through the duct 30. The air blown out from the air blowing holes 34 is sucked into the axial fan 5 and pushed downstream of the axial fan 5.
 図8に示すように、ダクト30の内部には、温度センサ14および湿度センサ15が配設されている。温度センサ14は、ダクト30に流れる室内空気の温度を検出するものであり、例えばサーミスタ等で構成されている。湿度センサ15は、ダクト30に流れる室内空気の湿度を検出するものであり、例えば抵抗式または容量式の湿度センサが用いられている。 As shown in FIG. 8, a temperature sensor 14 and a humidity sensor 15 are disposed inside the duct 30. The temperature sensor 14 detects the temperature of the indoor air flowing through the duct 30 and is composed of, for example, a thermistor. The humidity sensor 15 detects the humidity of the indoor air flowing through the duct 30. For example, a resistance type or capacitance type humidity sensor is used.
 ダクト30は、電気品箱7の上方以外の領域を通るように配設されており、この実施の形態の例では、図8に示すように、電気品箱7の背面側の接続配管3の上方に配設されている。ダクト30が電気品箱7の上方以外の領域を通ることで、ダクト30を流れる空気への、電気品箱7の発熱の影響が抑制される。ダクト30を流れる空気が、電気品箱7の発熱の影響を受けないため、ダクト30の内部に配設された温度センサ14は、室内空気の温度を精度良く検出することができる。また、この実施の形態の例では、ダクト30が、接続配管3の上方に配設されているため、接続配管3の上方の有効活用されていない空間であるデッドスペースが有効に利用されており、室内機1を小型化することができる。 The duct 30 is disposed so as to pass through a region other than the upper part of the electrical component box 7. In the example of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the connection pipe 3 on the back side of the electrical component box 7 is provided. Arranged above. Since the duct 30 passes through a region other than the upper part of the electrical component box 7, the influence of heat generation of the electrical component box 7 on the air flowing through the duct 30 is suppressed. Since the air flowing through the duct 30 is not affected by the heat generated by the electrical component box 7, the temperature sensor 14 disposed inside the duct 30 can accurately detect the temperature of the room air. Moreover, in the example of this embodiment, since the duct 30 is disposed above the connection pipe 3, the dead space, which is an unused space above the connection pipe 3, is effectively used. The indoor unit 1 can be reduced in size.
 図5および図8に示すように、この実施の形態の例では、ダクト30は、1回曲げ形状を有しており、上流側の空気吸入孔32が、下流側の空気吹出孔34よりも、電気品箱7から遠ざけられて配設されている。ダクト30が曲げ形状を有して形成されることによって、室内機1の内部の限られた領域において、ダクト30の内部に温度センサ14および湿度センサ15を設置するスペースを確保しつつ、ダクト30の断面積を、ダクト30が必要とする空気流量が得られる面積とすることができる。なお、ダクト30が必要とする空気流量は、温度センサ14が室内空気の温度を精度良く検出し、湿度センサ15が室内空気の湿度を精度良く検出することができる流量である。なお、ダクト30は、1回曲げ形状を有するものに限定されるものではなく、2回以上の曲げ形状を有するものであってもよい。また、ダクト30は、曲げ形状を有しないものであってもよい。つまり、ダクト30は、内部に温度センサ14および湿度センサ15を設置し、必要とする空気流量が得られるものであればよい。また、この実施の形態は、空気吸入孔32が、空気吹出孔34よりも、電気品箱7から遠ざけられたものに限定されるものではない。すなわち、室内機1の吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路のうちの軸流ファン5の上流側と、室内機1の外部と、をダクト30が連通するように、空気吸入孔32および空気吹出孔34が形成されていればよい。 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, in the example of this embodiment, the duct 30 has a one-time bending shape, and the upstream air suction hole 32 is more than the downstream air blowing hole 34. The electrical component box 7 is disposed away from the electrical component box 7. By forming the duct 30 to have a bent shape, the duct 30 is secured in a limited area inside the indoor unit 1 while securing a space for installing the temperature sensor 14 and the humidity sensor 15 inside the duct 30. The cross-sectional area can be an area where the air flow rate required by the duct 30 can be obtained. The air flow rate required by the duct 30 is a flow rate at which the temperature sensor 14 can accurately detect the temperature of the room air and the humidity sensor 15 can accurately detect the humidity of the room air. In addition, the duct 30 is not limited to what has a 1 time bending shape, You may have a 2 times or more bending shape. Moreover, the duct 30 may not have a bent shape. That is, the duct 30 only needs to have the temperature sensor 14 and the humidity sensor 15 installed therein and obtain a necessary air flow rate. Further, this embodiment is not limited to the case where the air suction hole 32 is further away from the electrical component box 7 than the air blowing hole 34. In other words, the air intake hole is formed so that the duct 30 communicates between the upstream side of the axial fan 5 in the air path that communicates the inlet 20 and the outlet 22 of the indoor unit 1 and the outside of the indoor unit 1. 32 and the air blowing hole 34 should just be formed.
 図5および図8に記載の例では、温度センサ14は、ダクト30において、空気吸入孔32側の、電気品箱7および熱交換器4から遠ざけられた位置に配設されている。温度センサ14が、電気品箱7および熱交換器4から遠ざけられた位置に配設されることによって、電気品箱7および熱交換器4が発生する熱の影響が低減されるため、温度センサ14が、精度良く室内空気の温度を検出することができる。なお、好適には、温度センサ14は、空気吸入孔32から、10mm以内の位置に設置されるとよい。このように、温度センサ14が、空気吸入孔32の近傍に配設されることによって、室内の温度と実質的に同じ温度の空気が温度センサ14に当たるため、温度センサ14が精度良く室内空気の温度を検出することができる。 5 and FIG. 8, the temperature sensor 14 is arranged in the duct 30 at a position away from the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 on the air suction hole 32 side. Since the temperature sensor 14 is arranged at a position away from the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4, the influence of heat generated by the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 is reduced. 14 can detect the temperature of indoor air with high accuracy. Preferably, the temperature sensor 14 is installed at a position within 10 mm from the air suction hole 32. As described above, since the temperature sensor 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the air suction hole 32, air having substantially the same temperature as the room temperature hits the temperature sensor 14. The temperature can be detected.
 湿度センサ15は、ダクト30において、温度センサ14の下流側の、空気吹出孔34側に配設されている。湿度センサ15の検出結果は、温度センサ14の検出結果と比較して、電気品箱7および熱交換器4が発生する熱の影響を受けにくいため、温度センサ14を湿度センサ15の上流側に配設して、温度センサ14を湿度センサ15よりも電気品箱7および熱交換器4から遠ざけることができる。その結果、この実施の形態の例では、温度センサ14および湿度センサ15のそれぞれが精度良く検出を行うことができる。なお、この実施の形態は、温度センサ14が湿度センサ15の上流側に配設されたものに限定されるものではない。温度センサ14が、室内空気の温度を精度良く検出することができる場合には、温度センサ14が湿度センサ15の下流側に配設されていてもよい。 The humidity sensor 15 is disposed in the duct 30 on the air outlet 34 side downstream of the temperature sensor 14. The detection result of the humidity sensor 15 is less affected by the heat generated by the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 than the detection result of the temperature sensor 14, so the temperature sensor 14 is placed upstream of the humidity sensor 15. The temperature sensor 14 can be disposed farther from the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 than the humidity sensor 15. As a result, in the example of this embodiment, each of the temperature sensor 14 and the humidity sensor 15 can perform detection with high accuracy. Note that this embodiment is not limited to the one in which the temperature sensor 14 is disposed on the upstream side of the humidity sensor 15. When the temperature sensor 14 can accurately detect the temperature of room air, the temperature sensor 14 may be disposed on the downstream side of the humidity sensor 15.

[Duct unit]
9 is a view of an example of the duct unit forming the duct shown in FIG. 8 from an oblique direction, FIG. 10 is a view showing a state where the duct unit shown in FIG. 9 is disassembled, and FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining a process of assembling the disassembled duct unit shown in FIG. 10, FIG. 12 is a diagram showing a state where the duct unit in the assembling process of FIG. 11 is assembled, and FIG. It is the figure which described the cross section typically. A duct unit 30A shown in FIG. 9 forms the duct 30 shown in FIG.
 図9に示すように、ダクトユニット30Aは、第1ケース36と第2ケース38と連結部44とを含んで構成されている。連結部44は、屈曲自在に形成されており、図10~図12に示すように、第1ケース36と第2ケース38とを開閉自在に連結している。第1ケース36には、図10に示すように、温度センサ14を取り付ける温度センサ取付部40と、湿度センサ15を取り付ける湿度センサ取付部42と、が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the duct unit 30A includes a first case 36, a second case 38, and a connecting portion 44. The connecting portion 44 is formed so as to be bendable, and connects the first case 36 and the second case 38 so as to be freely opened and closed as shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 10, the first case 36 is formed with a temperature sensor attachment portion 40 to which the temperature sensor 14 is attached and a humidity sensor attachment portion 42 to which the humidity sensor 15 is attached.
 例えば、ダクトユニット30Aを組み立てる作業者は、図10に示すように、第1ケース36および第2ケース38を開けた状態で、温度センサ14を温度センサ取付部40に取り付け、湿度センサ15を湿度センサ取付部42に取り付ける。そして、図11および図12に示すように、連結部44を屈曲させながら、第1ケース36と第2ケース38とを組み付けることで、図9および図12に記載のダクトユニット30Aが得られる。なお、第1ケース36と第2ケース38とは、これらを閉じた状態とすることで、例えば爪固定される。第1ケース36と第2ケース38とが組み付けられることによって、空気吸入孔32と空気吹出孔34とが形成される。 For example, as shown in FIG. 10, an operator who assembles the duct unit 30A attaches the temperature sensor 14 to the temperature sensor attachment portion 40 with the first case 36 and the second case 38 opened, and attaches the humidity sensor 15 to the humidity. It is attached to the sensor attachment part 42. Then, as shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the duct unit 30A shown in FIGS. 9 and 12 is obtained by assembling the first case 36 and the second case 38 while the connecting portion 44 is bent. Note that the first case 36 and the second case 38 are, for example, claw-fixed by closing them. By assembling the first case 36 and the second case 38, the air suction hole 32 and the air blowing hole 34 are formed.
 ダクトユニット30Aは、空気と比較して、熱が伝わりにくい樹脂成形品で形成されており、さらにダクト30の内部には空気が流れるため、ダクト30を流れる空気は、電気品箱7および熱交換器4が発生する熱の影響を受けにくいようになっている。また、ダクトユニット30Aには、電気品箱7から引き出された配線、または電気品箱7に引き込まれる配線をガイドする、配線ガイド部46が形成されており、室内機1の内部のデッドスペースが有効に利用されている。 The duct unit 30A is formed of a resin molded product that is less likely to transmit heat than air, and further, air flows inside the duct 30, so that the air flowing through the duct 30 is exchanged with the electrical box 7 and heat exchange. It is made difficult to be affected by the heat generated by the vessel 4. In addition, the duct unit 30A is formed with a wiring guide portion 46 that guides the wiring drawn out from the electrical product box 7 or the wiring drawn into the electrical product box 7, and the dead space inside the indoor unit 1 is reduced. It is used effectively.
 上記のように、この実施の形態では、ダクト30が接続配管3の上方のデッドスペースを利用して形成されている。また、ダクト30は、電気品箱7の近傍に配設されているため、ダクト30の内部に配設されている温度センサ14および湿度センサ15の配線の、電気品箱7への引き回しが容易である。 As described above, in this embodiment, the duct 30 is formed using the dead space above the connection pipe 3. Further, since the duct 30 is disposed in the vicinity of the electrical component box 7, the wiring of the temperature sensor 14 and the humidity sensor 15 disposed in the duct 30 can be easily routed to the electrical component box 7. It is.
 上記のように、この実施の形態に係る空気調和装置の室内機1は、室内に設置され、室内の空調を行う空気調和装置の室内機1であって、上部に形成された吸入口20と、下部に形成された吹出口22と、吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路と、を有する本体部28と、風路に配設された少なくとも1つの軸流ファン5と、軸流ファン5の下流側で、風路に配設された熱交換器4と、風路の軸流ファン5の上流側と空気調和装置の室内機1の外部とを連通するダクト30と、ダクト30の内部に配設され、温度を検出する温度センサ14と、を備えたものである。この実施の形態によれば、ダクト30が、吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路の軸流ファン5の上流側と、室内機1の外部と、を連通しており、軸流ファン5が動作することによって、ダクト30に空気が流れるため、温度センサ14が室内空気の温度を精度良く検出することができる。その結果、この実施の形態に係る室内機1は、温度センサ14が精度良く検出した室内空気の温度を利用して、室内に快適な空調を提供することができる。 As described above, the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioning apparatus according to this embodiment is an indoor unit 1 of an air conditioning apparatus that is installed indoors and performs indoor air conditioning, and includes an inlet 20 formed in an upper portion thereof. A main body 28 having a blower outlet 22 formed in the lower part, an air passage communicating the suction port 20 and the blower outlet 22, at least one axial fan 5 disposed in the air passage, On the downstream side of the flow fan 5, the heat exchanger 4 disposed in the air passage, the duct 30 communicating the upstream side of the axial flow fan 5 in the air passage and the outside of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, a duct 30 and a temperature sensor 14 that detects the temperature. According to this embodiment, the duct 30 communicates the upstream side of the axial flow fan 5 in the air passage that communicates the suction port 20 and the blowout port 22 with the outside of the indoor unit 1. As the fan 5 operates, air flows through the duct 30, so that the temperature sensor 14 can accurately detect the temperature of the room air. As a result, the indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment can provide comfortable air conditioning in the room using the temperature of the indoor air detected by the temperature sensor 14 with high accuracy.
 また、この実施の形態に係る室内機1は、吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路の外部で、本体部28の内部に配設され、少なくとも制御装置を収容している電気品箱7を備えており、ダクト30は、電気品箱7の上方以外の領域を通っている。ダクト30が電気品箱7の上方以外の領域を通ることで、ダクト30を流れる空気への、電気品箱7の発熱の影響が低減されるため、温度センサ14が室内空気の温度を精度良く検出することができる。 Moreover, the indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment is an electrical component that is disposed inside the main body 28 outside the air passage that communicates the suction port 20 and the air outlet 22 and that houses at least the control device. A box 7 is provided, and the duct 30 passes through an area other than the upper part of the electrical component box 7. Since the duct 30 passes through a region other than the upper part of the electrical component box 7, the influence of heat generated by the electrical component box 7 on the air flowing through the duct 30 is reduced, so the temperature sensor 14 accurately adjusts the temperature of the indoor air. Can be detected.
 また、この実施の形態に係る室内機1は、吸入口20と吹出口22とを連通する風路の外部で、本体部28の内部に配設され、空気調和装置の室内機1と室外機(図示を省略)とを接続する接続配管3を備えており、ダクト30は、接続配管3の上方を通っている。例えば、電気品箱7および接続配管3は、空気調和装置の室内機1の側方に配設されており、電気品箱7は、接続配管3よりも、空気調和装置の室内機1の前方に配設されている。この実施の形態の例に係る室内機1では、接続配管3の上方のデッドスペースに、ダクト30が配設されており、接続配管3の上方のデッドスペースが有効に利用されているため、室内機1を小型化することができる。 In addition, the indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment is disposed inside the main body 28 outside the air passage that communicates the suction port 20 and the air outlet 22, and the indoor unit 1 and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The connection pipe 3 is connected to (not shown), and the duct 30 passes above the connection pipe 3. For example, the electrical component box 7 and the connection pipe 3 are disposed on the side of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, and the electrical component box 7 is located in front of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner rather than the connection pipe 3. It is arranged. In the indoor unit 1 according to the example of this embodiment, the duct 30 is disposed in the dead space above the connection pipe 3, and the dead space above the connection pipe 3 is effectively used. The machine 1 can be reduced in size.
 また、この実施の形態に係る室内機1では、ダクト30の空気吸入孔32が、空気吹出孔34よりも、電気品箱7から遠ざけられて配設されており、ダクト30は、空気吸入孔32側に設けられ電気品箱7に近づけられた領域と、空気吹出孔34側に設けられ電気品箱7から遠ざけられた領域と、を有しており、温度センサ14は、ダクト30の、電気品箱7から遠ざけられた領域に配設されている。ダクト30の空気吸入孔32の近傍は、熱交換器4からも遠ざけられており、温度センサ14が、電気品箱7および熱交換器4から遠ざけられた位置に配設されているため、温度センサ14への、電気品箱7および熱交換器4の熱の影響が低減されている。その結果、この実施の形態では、温度センサ14が、室内空気の温度を精度良く検出することができる。 Further, in the indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the air suction hole 32 of the duct 30 is disposed farther from the electrical component box 7 than the air blowing hole 34, and the duct 30 has the air suction hole. The temperature sensor 14 includes a region provided on the side 32 and close to the electrical component box 7, and a region provided on the air outlet 34 side and away from the electrical component box 7. It is disposed in a region away from the electrical component box 7. The vicinity of the air suction hole 32 of the duct 30 is also away from the heat exchanger 4, and the temperature sensor 14 is disposed at a position away from the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4. The influence of the heat of the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 on the sensor 14 is reduced. As a result, in this embodiment, the temperature sensor 14 can accurately detect the temperature of the room air.
 なお、好適には、温度センサ14は、ダクト30の空気吸入孔32から、10mm以内の位置に設置されている。このように、温度センサ14が空気吸入孔32の近傍に配設されることによって、温度センサ14が室内空気の温度をさらに精度良く検出することができる。 The temperature sensor 14 is preferably installed at a position within 10 mm from the air suction hole 32 of the duct 30. As described above, the temperature sensor 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the air suction hole 32, so that the temperature sensor 14 can detect the temperature of the indoor air with higher accuracy.
 また、この実施の形態に係る室内機1では、ダクト30の内部の、温度センサ14の下流側に、湿度を検出する湿度センサ15が配設されている。湿度センサ15の検出結果は、温度センサ14の検出結果と比較して、電気品箱7および熱交換器4が発生する熱の影響を受けにくいため、温度センサ14を湿度センサ15の上流側に配設して、温度センサ14を湿度センサ15よりも電気品箱7および熱交換器4から遠ざけることができる。その結果、この実施の形態の例では、温度センサ14および湿度センサ15のそれぞれが精度良く検出を行うことができる。 Further, in the indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, a humidity sensor 15 that detects humidity is disposed inside the duct 30 on the downstream side of the temperature sensor 14. The detection result of the humidity sensor 15 is less affected by the heat generated by the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 than the detection result of the temperature sensor 14, so the temperature sensor 14 is placed upstream of the humidity sensor 15. The temperature sensor 14 can be disposed farther from the electrical component box 7 and the heat exchanger 4 than the humidity sensor 15. As a result, in the example of this embodiment, each of the temperature sensor 14 and the humidity sensor 15 can perform detection with high accuracy.
 また、この実施の形態に係る室内機1では、ダクト30が、第1ケース36と、第2ケース38と、第1ケース36と第2ケース38とを開閉自在に連結した連結部44と、を含んで構成されており、第1ケース36には、温度センサ14を取り付ける温度センサ取付部40が形成されている。このように、ダクト30を形成する部材をユニット化することによって、室内機1の製造工程を簡略化することができる。 Further, in the indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the duct 30 includes a first case 36, a second case 38, a connecting portion 44 that connects the first case 36 and the second case 38 so as to be freely opened and closed, In the first case 36, a temperature sensor mounting portion 40 for mounting the temperature sensor 14 is formed. Thus, the manufacturing process of the indoor unit 1 can be simplified by unitizing the members forming the duct 30.
