Description
この発明は空気調和機などを構成する室内機などに関するものである。特にドレンパンを有する室内機などに関するものである。
The present invention relates to an indoor unit that constitutes an air conditioner or the like. In particular, the present invention relates to an indoor unit having a drain pan.
従来、空気調和機などにおいて、室内側に設けられる室内機(たとえば四方向カセット形空気調和機)は、たとえば、室内熱交換器および送風機を備えている。また、室内熱交換器の下方には、熱交換器によって凝縮生成されたドレン水を受け止めて捕集するドレンパンを設けている。ドレンパンに溜まったドレン水は、ドレンポンプおよびドレン配管が設置された排出口を通して室内機外部へ排出される。ここで、ドレン水を受けるため、ドレンパンの直上部分に室内熱交換器を配置することが望ましい。そこで、ドレンパンの直上部分に配置された室内熱交換器が、ドレンパンの底部に溜まったドレン水に浸らないようにするため、ドレンパンには、ドレン水が溜まる底部の一部に、凸状の熱交換器載置台が形成されている。そして、熱交換器載置台に室内熱交換器が載置される(たとえば、特許文献1参照)。
Conventionally, in an air conditioner or the like, an indoor unit (for example, a four-way cassette type air conditioner) provided on the indoor side includes, for example, an indoor heat exchanger and a blower. A drain pan for receiving and collecting drain water condensed and generated by the heat exchanger is provided below the indoor heat exchanger. The drain water collected in the drain pan is discharged to the outside of the indoor unit through a discharge port provided with a drain pump and a drain pipe. Here, in order to receive drain water, it is desirable to arrange an indoor heat exchanger in a portion directly above the drain pan. Therefore, in order to prevent the indoor heat exchanger arranged in the portion directly above the drain pan from being immersed in the drain water accumulated at the bottom of the drain pan, the drain pan has a convex heat on a part of the bottom where the drain water accumulates. An exchanger mounting table is formed. And an indoor heat exchanger is mounted in a heat exchanger mounting base (for example, refer patent document 1).
また、ドレン水は、空気中の雑菌、カビなどが入り込み、繁殖しやすい。雑菌やカビが繁殖すると、ドレンパン内にスライムが生成され、悪臭、ドレン配管の詰まりなどの排水不良を起こす原因になるおそれがある。そこで、ドレンパン内に雑菌、カビなどの繁殖を抑制する抗菌剤を収容する室内機がある。抗菌剤の成分がドレン水に溶出することで、水周り部分に抗菌性をもたせ、雑菌、カビなどの繁殖を抑制している。
Also, drain water is easy to propagate due to the entry of germs and mold in the air. When miscellaneous bacteria and fungi grow, slime is generated in the drain pan, which may cause bad odor and drainage defects such as clogging of the drain pipe. Therefore, there is an indoor unit that houses an antibacterial agent that suppresses the propagation of germs and molds in the drain pan. The antibacterial components are eluted in the drain water, so that the area around the water has antibacterial properties and suppresses the growth of germs and molds.
上述したような室内機では、ドレン水が溜まるドレンパンの底部を、熱交換器載置台が仕切ってしまうことになる。このため、ドレンポンプおよびドレン配管が配置されていない側のドレン水が、ドレンポンプおよびドレン配管に流れなくなる可能性がある。そこで、ドレンパンにおいて、熱交換器載置台の一部を切り欠くなどして、熱交換器載置台がない部分を形成し、ドレン水が熱交換器載置台によって遮られずに、ドレンポンプおよびドレン配管に導かれるドレン水流水経路部としている。
In the indoor unit as described above, the heat exchanger mounting table partitions the bottom of the drain pan where drain water is accumulated. For this reason, there is a possibility that the drain water on the side where the drain pump and the drain pipe are not arranged does not flow to the drain pump and the drain pipe. Therefore, in the drain pan, a part of the heat exchanger mounting table is notched or the like to form a portion without the heat exchanger mounting table, and the drain water and the drain pump and drain are not blocked by the heat exchanger mounting table. It is a drain water flowing water route part led to piping.
しかしながら、ドレン水流水経路部は、室内機の吸込口から流入した空気が、室内熱交換器を通過せずに、吹出口側に流れるバイパスにもなってしまう。ドレン水流水経路部からの空気漏れによって、室内熱交換器において空気調和されない空気が多くなると、装置の効率が悪く、損失が多くなってしまう。
However, the drain water flow path section also serves as a bypass in which the air flowing in from the intake port of the indoor unit flows to the outlet side without passing through the indoor heat exchanger. If air that is not air-conditioned in the indoor heat exchanger increases due to air leakage from the drain water flow path portion, the efficiency of the device is deteriorated and loss is increased.
この発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたもので、ドレンパンにおける空気漏れを抑えることができる室内機などを得ることを目的とする。

この発明の室内機によれば、抗菌剤を収容する抗菌剤収容ケースにケース導水路部を有するようにしたので、ドレンパンの排出口付近に、容器部を通過して抗菌剤の成分が溶出したドレン水をより多く送ることができる。このため、排出口付近の抗菌効果を高めることができ、スライム生成、ドレン配管の詰まりなどを抑えた室内機を得ることができる。

FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the main components of the peripheral portion of the drain pan case attachment portion 8 of the indoor unit 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 3 shows a state in which an antibacterial agent storage case 11 to be described later is attached to the drain pan 7 as viewed from the suction port side (outside of the drain pan 7). The drain pan 7 has, for example, an insert-molded fixing plate 9 in the drain pan case mounting portion 8. The fixed plate 9 is a metal plate, and ensures durability in work and the like. A mounting hole 10 is formed in the fixed plate 9. An elastic claw portion 14 formed in the case attachment portion 13 of the antibacterial agent storage case 11 is inserted into the attachment hole 10. The antibacterial agent storage case 11 is fixed and held at a predetermined position of the drain pan 7 by being locked by the claw portion 14 inserted into the mounting hole 10.
また、ドレンパン7において、固定板9の下側に取付空間22が形成されている。取付空間22は、抗菌剤収容ケース11を、固定板9の取付穴10に挿抜しやすくする。このため、たとえば作業者は、取付空間22に指を入れ、ツメ部14を指で摘んで抗菌剤収容ケース11を取外すことができる。また、取付空間22により、抗菌剤収容ケース11がドレンパン7に取付けられていれば、ツメ部14を目視することができるので、取付状況を確認しやすくなる。
Further, in the drain pan 7, a mounting space 22 is formed below the fixed plate 9. The attachment space 22 makes it easy to insert and remove the antibacterial agent storage case 11 into the attachment hole 10 of the fixing plate 9.

図4および図5はこの発明の実施の形態1における室内機100のドレンパンケース取付部8周辺部分の構成要部を説明する図である。図4は、抗菌剤収容ケース11を取付ける前の状態を示し、図5は、抗菌剤収容ケース11を取付けたときの状態を示している。図4に示すように、抗菌剤収容ケース11をドレンパン7の上側から取付ける。また、図5に示すように、ドレンパン7(固定板9)に抗菌剤収容ケース11(ケース取付部13)を取付けた状態において、抗菌剤収容ケース11の容器部分となるケースフレーム15の底面は、ドレンパン7の底部分から所定の距離を保っている。また、後述するケース導水路部27については、室内熱交換器110を載置する際に邪魔しないように、高さ方向において、側壁の上側が、熱交換器載置台7cよりも高くならないような位置にする。また、導水路部27(抗菌剤収容ケース11)がドレンパン7を加圧して損傷させないようにするため、導水路部27は、側壁の下端が先端に向かって先細りしたテーパ形状として、導水路部27とドレンパン7とが接触状態とならないようにする。このとき、ドレンパン7の成型における誤差も考慮して形状を定める。ただし、流路壁として機能する高さは維持する。
FIGS. 4 and 5 are diagrams for explaining the main components of the peripheral portion of the drain pan case attachment portion 8 of the indoor unit 100 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. 4 shows a state before the antibacterial agent storage case 11 is attached, and FIG. 5 shows a state when the antibacterial agent storage case 11 is attached. As shown in FIG. 4, the antibacterial agent storage case 11 is attached from the upper side of the drain pan 7. In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, in the state where the antibacterial agent storage case 11 (case mounting portion 13) is attached to the drain pan 7 (fixing plate 9), the bottom surface of the case frame 15 that becomes the container portion of the antibacterial agent storage case 11 is A predetermined distance from the bottom of the drain pan 7 is maintained. Moreover, about the case water conduit part 27 mentioned later, the upper side of a side wall does not become higher than the heat exchanger mounting base 7c in a height direction so that it may not interfere when mounting the indoor heat exchanger 110. To position. Further, in order to prevent the water conduit portion 27 (antibacterial agent storage case 11) from pressurizing and damaging the drain pan 7, the water conduit portion 27 has a tapered shape in which the lower end of the side wall is tapered toward the tip. 27 and the drain pan 7 are not brought into contact with each other. At this time, the shape is determined in consideration of errors in forming the drain pan 7. However, the height that functions as the channel wall is maintained.
ドレンパン壁7aはドレンパン7の壁である。ドレン水貯留部7bはドレンパン7の底部に形成されたドレン水が溜まる(流れる)部分である。また、熱交換器載置台7cは、室内熱交換器110が載置される台となる部分である。熱交換器載置台7cはドレンパン7の中程にある。したがって、ドレンパン7は室内熱交換器110の一次側(流入側)と二次側(流出側)とに跨がって設置されることになる。ここで、室内熱交換器110の一次側に対応してドレン水を受けるドレン水貯留部7bを一次側貯留部とする。また、室内熱交換器110の二次側に対応してドレン水を受けるドレン水貯留部7bを二次側貯留部とする。また、本実施の形態のドレンパン7には、熱交換器載置台7cの一部を切り欠いてドレン水流水経路部7dが形成されている。ドレン水流水経路部7dは、熱交換器載置台7cによって分断されたドレン水貯留部7bを連通させる。そして、ドレン水貯留部7bに溜まったドレン水が、後述するドレンポンプ26が設置された排出口7eに導かれるようにする。緩衝材23は、抗菌剤収容ケース11を取付けた際、アーム12とドレンパン7との当たりを緩衝させて擦れることを抑制する。
The drain pan wall 7 a is the drain pan 7 wall. The drain water reservoir 7 b is a portion where drain water formed at the bottom of the drain pan 7 accumulates (flows). Moreover, the heat exchanger mounting table 7c is a part to be a table on which the indoor heat exchanger 110 is mounted. The heat exchanger mounting table 7 c is in the middle of the drain pan 7. Accordingly, the drain pan 7 is installed across the primary side (inflow side) and the secondary side (outflow side) of the indoor heat exchanger 110. Here, let the drain water storage part 7b which receives drain water corresponding to the primary side of the indoor heat exchanger 110 be a primary side storage part. Moreover, let the drain water storage part 7b which receives drain water corresponding to the secondary side of the indoor heat exchanger 110 be a secondary side storage part. Further, in the drain pan 7 of the present embodiment, a drain water flow path portion 7d is formed by cutting out a part of the heat exchanger mounting table 7c. The drain water flow path portion 7d allows the drain water storage portion 7b separated by the heat exchanger mounting table 7c to communicate. And the drain water collected in the drain water storage part 7b is guide | induced to the discharge port 7e in which the drain pump 26 mentioned later was installed. When the antibacterial agent storage case 11 is attached, the buffer material 23 suppresses the friction between the arm 12 and the drain pan 7 and rubs.
図6はこの発明の実施の形態1における抗菌剤収容ケース11の外観を示す図である。図6に示すように、抗菌剤収容ケース11は、ドレン水に雑菌などの繁殖などを防ぐ後述する抗菌剤24を収容する(詰め込む)。抗菌剤24は、空気中の雑菌やカビの繁殖によりドレン水に発生するスライムなどの生成を抑制し、悪臭、ドレン配管の詰まりなどによる排水不良などを防止する。
FIG. 6 is a view showing the appearance of the antibacterial agent storage case 11 in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the antibacterial agent accommodation case 11 accommodates (stuffs) an antibacterial agent 24 to be described later, which prevents breeding of germs and the like in the drain water. The antibacterial agent 24 suppresses the generation of slime generated in the drain water due to the propagation of germs and fungi in the air, and prevents bad odor, poor drainage due to clogging of the drain piping, and the like.
抗菌剤収容ケース11は、抗菌剤24を収容する容器部分の上側に、アーム12、ケース取付部13およびツメ部14を有している。また、下側部分にはケース導水路部27を有している。ケース導水路部27は、抗菌剤24の成分が溶出した一次側貯留部のドレン水が、二次側貯留部に流れる流路壁を形成する。ケース導水路部27は、ドレン水流水経路部7dの一部を塞いて遮ることにより、室内熱交換器110の一次側から二次側へのドレン水流水経路部7dを介した空気漏れを抑える。ここで、前述したように、ケース導水路部27は、側壁の上側の位置が熱交換器載置台7cよりも低いが、空気漏れを防ぎ、ドレン水を流すためには、できるだけ高い位置である方がよい。本実施の形態のケース導水路部27は、後述する網21を介して抗菌剤収容ケース11から出てきた、抗菌剤24の成分を含むドレン水を二次側貯留部に導くため、ドレン水が流れ出す部分の全体を覆った形状となっている。また、ドレン水流水経路部7dを通過する部分の流路壁は、ドレン水流水経路部7dの幅に合わせた形状となっている。ただし、形状については、このような形状に限定するものではない。抗菌剤収容ケース11がケース導水路部27を有することで、ドレン水流水経路部7dからの空気漏れ抑制に加え、ドレン水に溶出した抗菌剤24を効率よく排出口7eに導くことができる。
The antibacterial agent storage case 11 has an arm 12, a case attachment portion 13, and a claw portion 14 on the upper side of the container portion that stores the antibacterial agent 24. In addition, a case water conduit portion 27 is provided in the lower portion. The case water conduit section 27 forms a flow path wall through which the drain water in the primary side reservoir from which the components of the antibacterial agent 24 are eluted flows to the secondary side reservoir. The case water conduit portion 27 suppresses air leakage through the drain water flow passage portion 7d from the primary side to the secondary side of the indoor heat exchanger 110 by blocking and blocking a part of the drain water flow passage portion 7d. . Here, as described above, the case conduit path portion 27 has a position above the side wall lower than the heat exchanger mounting table 7c, but is as high as possible in order to prevent air leakage and allow drain water to flow. Better. The case water conduit portion 27 of the present embodiment guides drain water containing the components of the antibacterial agent 24 that has come out of the antibacterial agent storage case 11 through the net 21 described later to the secondary side storage portion. It has a shape that covers the entire part that flows out. Moreover, the flow path wall of the part which passes the drain water flowing water path part 7d becomes a shape matched with the width | variety of the drain water flowing water path part 7d. However, the shape is not limited to such a shape. Since the antibacterial agent storage case 11 includes the case water conduit portion 27, in addition to suppressing air leakage from the drain water flow passage portion 7d, the antibacterial agent 24 eluted in the drain water can be efficiently guided to the discharge port 7e.
ケース取付部13はツメ部14により、ドレンパン7側壁の上側部分に位置する固定板9に取付けられ、抗菌剤収容ケース11を保持する。一方、抗菌剤収容ケース11において抗菌剤24を収容するケースフレーム15は、ドレンパン7の底部分から所定の距離を保つ必要がある。そこで、アーム12はケース取付部13と容器部分とをつなぐ橋渡しの役割を果たす。アーム12はドレンパン7の送風機(ターボファン6)側の側壁形状に合致した形状である。このため、容器部分をドレンパン7の側壁に密着させることができる。また、アーム12とケース取付部13とを組み合わせた形状は、手のひらに収まりやすいため、作業者が取付作業などをしやすくなる。
The case attaching portion 13 is attached to the fixing plate 9 located on the upper side portion of the drain pan 7 side wall by the claw portion 14 and holds the antibacterial agent containing case 11. On the other hand, the case frame 15 that accommodates the antibacterial agent 24 in the antibacterial agent accommodation case 11 needs to keep a predetermined distance from the bottom portion of the drain pan 7. Therefore, the arm 12 serves as a bridge that connects the case mounting portion 13 and the container portion. The arm 12 has a shape that matches the shape of the side wall of the drain pan 7 on the blower (turbo fan 6) side. For this reason, a container part can be stuck to the side wall of the drain pan 7. Moreover, since the shape which combined the arm 12 and the case attachment part 13 is easy to fit in the palm, it becomes easy for an operator to perform attachment work.

図13はこの発明の実施の形態3に係る空気調和機の構成例を表す図である。ここで、図13では空気調和機を冷凍サイクル装置の例として示している。図13において、図1などにおいて説明したものについては、同様の動作を行うものとする。図13の空気調和機は、室外機(室外ユニット)200と、実施の形態1において説明した室内機(室内ユニット)100とをガス冷媒配管300、液冷媒配管400により配管接続する。室外機200は、圧縮機210、四方弁220、室外熱交換器230および膨張弁240を有している。
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an air conditioner according to
圧縮機210は、吸入した冷媒を圧縮して吐出する。ここで、特に限定するものではないが、圧縮機210はたとえばインバータ回路などにより、運転周波数を任意に変化させることにより、圧縮機210の容量(単位時間あたりの冷媒を送り出す量)を変化させることができるようにしてもよい。四方弁220は、たとえば冷房運転時と暖房運転時とによって冷媒の流れを切り換える弁である。
Compressor 210 compresses and discharges the sucked refrigerant. Here, although not particularly limited, the compressor 210 can change the capacity of the compressor 210 (the amount of refrigerant sent out per unit time) by arbitrarily changing the operation frequency by using, for example, an inverter circuit. You may be able to. The four-way valve 220 is a valve that switches the flow of the refrigerant between, for example, a cooling operation and a heating operation.
本実施の形態における室外熱交換器230は、冷媒と空気(室外の空気)との熱交換を行う。たとえば、暖房運転時においては蒸発器として機能し、冷媒を蒸発させ、気化させる。また、冷房運転時においては凝縮器として機能し、冷媒を凝縮して液化させる。
The outdoor heat exchanger 230 in the present embodiment performs heat exchange between the refrigerant and air (outdoor air). For example, it functions as an evaporator during heating operation, evaporating and evaporating the refrigerant. Moreover, it functions as a condenser during the cooling operation, and condenses and liquefies the refrigerant.
絞り装置(流量制御手段)などの膨張弁240は冷媒を減圧して膨張させる。たとえば電子式膨張弁などで構成した場合には、制御装置(図示せず)などの指示に基づいて開度調整を行う。室内熱交換器110は、たとえば空調対象となる空気と冷媒との熱交換を行う。暖房運転時においては凝縮器として機能し、冷媒を凝縮して液化させる。また、冷房運転時においては蒸発器として機能し、冷媒を蒸発させ、気化させる。
An expansion valve 240 such as a throttle device (flow rate control means) decompresses the refrigerant to expand it. For example, when an electronic expansion valve is used, the opening degree is adjusted based on an instruction from a control device (not shown). The indoor heat exchanger 110 performs heat exchange between air to be air-conditioned and a refrigerant, for example. During heating operation, it functions as a condenser and condenses and liquefies the refrigerant. Moreover, it functions as an evaporator during cooling operation, evaporating and evaporating the refrigerant.
以上のように空気調和機を構成することで、室外機200の四方弁220により冷媒の流れを切り換えることで、暖房運転および冷房運転を実現することができる。
By configuring the air conditioner as described above, the refrigerant operation is switched by the four-way valve 220 of the outdoor unit 200, whereby the heating operation and the cooling operation can be realized.
上述の実施の形態では、室内機100は4つの吹出口3を有し、四方向の空気を吹き出す四方向カセット型の室内機であるものとして説明したが、これに限定するものではない。たとえば、二方向、三方向の空気の流れに対応する、他の天井埋め込み型の室内機についても適用することができる。また、天井埋め込み型の室内機に限らず、他の型式の室内機にも適用することができる。
In the above-described embodiment, the indoor unit 100 has been described as being a four-way cassette type indoor unit that has four outlets 3 and blows out air in four directions. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can also be applied to other ceiling-embedded indoor units corresponding to two-way and three-way air flows. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the ceiling-embedded indoor unit but also to other types of indoor units.
また、上述の実施の形態では、冷凍サイクル装置の例として空気調和機について説明したが、これに限定するものではない。たとえば冷蔵装置、冷凍装置など、他の冷凍サイクル装置にも適用することができる。また、冷凍サイクル装置だけでなく、送風機、換気装置などにも適用することができる。
