ケーシング(11)の内部には、ファン(12)と熱交換器(13)と底フレーム(16)と気流調節機構(20)と制御部(40)とが収容される。この例では、ケーシング(11)は、左右方向に延びる直方体型の箱状に形成される。具体的には、ケーシング(11)は、天面パネル(11a)と、前面パネル(11b)と、背面パネル(11c)と、底面パネル(11d)と、右面パネル(11e)と、左面パネル(11f)とを有する。前面パネル(11b)は、その上端が天面パネル(11a)に回動可能に支持される。
ファン(12)は、底フレーム(16)に取り付けられる。ファン(12)は、吸込口(14)から吸い込まれた空気を吹出口(15)から吹き出す。この例では、ファン(12)は、クロスフローファンである。
熱交換器(13)は、底フレーム(16)に取り付けられる。熱交換器(13)は、吸込口(14)から吸い込まれる空気と冷媒とを熱交換させる。熱交換器(13)において空気と冷媒との熱交換を行うことにより、その空気の温度を調節することができる。熱交換器(13)を通過した空気は、吹出口(15)から吹き出される。この例では、熱交換器(13)は、左右方向から見た場合に両端が下方に向いて屈曲する逆V字型の形状を有する。熱交換器(13)の下方には、ファン(12)が配置される。
ケーシング(11)内には、吹出流路(17)が設けられる。底フレーム(16)は、背面側スクロール(18)と、前面側スクロール(19)とを有する。背面側スクロール(18)は、底フレーム(16)の一部を構成する隔壁である。
ファン(12)が駆動すると、天面パネル(11a)の吸込口(14)から吸い込まれた空気(この例では室内空気)は、熱交換器(13)を経由してファン(12)に吸い込まれ、ファン(12)から吹出流路(17)を経由して吹出口(15)から吹き出される。吹出流路(17)を通過する空気は、背面側スクロール(18)に沿うように進み、背面側スクロール(18)の終端(F)の接線方向に送られる。
気流調節機構(20)は、吹出口(15)に設けられる。気流調節機構(20)は、吹出口(15)から吹き出される空気の流れ(以下「吹出気流」と記載)を調節する。この例では、気流調節機構(20)は、第1風向調節羽根(31)と、第2風向調節羽根(32)と、3つ以上(具体的には9つ)の補助調節羽根(35)とを有する。
第1風向調節羽根(31)は、吹出口(15)の延伸方向に沿うように延びる板状に形成され、吹出口(15)の後寄りに設けられる。また、第1風向調節羽根(31)は、それぞれが異なる傾斜角(吹出口(15)の延伸方向に沿うように延びる揺動軸線の周りの角度)となる複数の姿勢に切り換え可能である。第1風向調節羽根(31)の姿勢を切り換えることにより、吹出気流の上下方向の向き(特に下方への広がり)を調節することができる。
第2風向調節羽根(32)は、吹出口(15)の延伸方向に沿うように延びる板状に形成され、吹出口(15)の前寄りに設けられる。また、第2風向調節羽根(32)は、それぞれが異なる傾斜角(吹出口(15)の延伸方向に沿うように延びる揺動軸線の周りの角度)となる複数の姿勢に切り換え可能である。第2風向調節羽根(32)の姿勢を切り換えることにより、吹出気流の上下方向の向き(特に上方への広がり)を調節することができる。
この例では、第1風向調節羽根(31)は、ワイドモードにおいて吹出気流を下方に拡大するように構成される。第2風向調節羽根(32)は、ワイドモードにおいて吹出気流を上方に拡大するように構成される。また、第1風向調節羽根(31)と第2風向調節羽根(32)は、ワイドモードにおいてコアンダ効果により吹出気流を上下方向に分割するように構成される。ワイドモードにおける吹出気流の分割については、後で詳しく説明する。
複数の補助調節羽根(35)は、空調室内機(10)の左右方向に並ぶように吹出口(15)に設けられる。複数の補助調節羽根(35)の各々は、吹出気流を左右方向に分割するように構成される。
制御部(40)は、空調室内機(10)に設けられた各種センサ(図示省略)からの信号や外部(例えばリモートコントローラ)からの指令に基づいて、空調室内機(10)の各部を制御する。これにより、空調室内機(10)の動作が制御される。この例では、制御部(40)は、運転制御、風向制御、風量制御、温度制御、湿度制御などを行う。運転制御では、制御部(40)は、空調室内機(10)の運転モードを決定する。風向制御では、制御部(40)は、気流調節機構(20)を制御する。具体的には、制御部(40)は、風向制御において、第1風向調節羽根(31)と第2風向調節羽根(32)と補助調節羽根(35)の姿勢を制御する。また、風向制御では、制御部(40)は、気流調節機構(20)を制御して吹出モードの切り換えを行う。風量制御では、制御部(40)は、ファン(12)により吹き出される空気の風量を制御する。具体的には、制御部(40)は、風量制御において、ファン(12)の回転数を制御する。例えば、制御部(40)は、プロセッサと、プロセッサを動作させるためのプログラムや情報を記憶するメモリとにより構成される。
次に、図3、図4、図5を参照して、ワイドモードにおける吹出気流に関する特徴について説明する。ワイドモードは、上下方向における風速のばらつきが低減された吹出気流であり、且つ、ユーザの全身へ向けて送り出すことができる吹出気流(以下では「ワイド気流」と記載)を生成する吹出モードである。
本開示では、ワイドモードにおける吹出空気に関する特徴の検証を容易にするために、試験条件が定められている。この試験条件は、吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように空調室内機(10)が設けられるという条件である。なお、図3および図4の例では、吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)は、吹出口(15)の中心位置(延伸方向および幅方向の中心位置、言い換えると対角線の交点の位置)である。
気流調節機構(20)は、試験条件下におけるワイドモードにおいて、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一となり、且つ、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.5倍未満となるように、吹出気流を調節する。
この例では、ワイドモードにおいて、第1風向調節羽根(31)および第2風向調節羽根(32)の各々の姿勢は、例えば、図1に示した姿勢となる。図1に示すように、ワイドモードでは、第1風向調節羽根(31)におけるコアンダ効果により、第1風向調節羽根(31)に沿うように吹出気流が下方に案内される。また、第2風向調節羽根(32)におけるコアンダ効果により、第2風向調節羽根(32)に沿うように吹出気流が上方に案内される。そして、これらのコアンダ効果により吹出気流が上下方向に分割される。具体的には、吹出気流は、第1風向調節羽根(31)に沿うように流れる第1気流(D1)と、第2風向調節羽根(32)に沿うように流れる第2気流(D2)とに分割される。第1気流(D1)および第2気流(D2)の各々は、空気流れの下流側へ向かうに連れて上下方向に次第に広がり、それぞれの一部が互いに合流する。このようにして、吹出気流が上下方向に広げられる。
図5は、ワイドモードにおける吹出気流の風速分布を例示する。図5の例では、吹出気流の風速領域が4つの風速領域に分類されている。4つの風速領域は、4つの風速範囲にそれぞれ対応する。第1風速領域は、右上がりの細かい斜線のハッチングが付された領域であり、吹出気流の風速ピークを示す領域である。第1風速領域における風速は、最も高い風速範囲に属する。第2風速領域は、右下がりの細かい斜線のハッチングが付された領域であり、第2風速領域における風速は、2番目に高い風速範囲に属する。第3風速領域は、右上がりの粗い斜線のハッチングが付された領域であり、第3風速領域における風速は、3番目に高い風速範囲に属する。第4風速領域は、右下がりの粗い斜線のハッチングが付された領域であり、第4風速領域における風速は、最も低い風速範囲に属する。
次に、図6および図7を参照して、通常モードについて説明する。この例では、通常モードは、吹出口(15)の斜め下方へ向けて吹出気流を送り出す吹出モードである。
次に、図8および図9を参照して、ワイドモードにおける吹出気流と通常モードにおける吹出気流とを比較する。図8は、ワイドモードにおける吹出気流の風速分布を例示し、図9は、通常モードにおける吹出気流の風速分布を例示する。図8および図9は、吹出口(15)から前方に1000mm離れた第1地点(P1)を基準地点(P0)とし、吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように空調室内機(10)を設けた場合に、その基準地点(P0)において計測される基準高さ範囲(R10)内の風速の一例を示す。
以上のように、実施形態1による空調室内機(10)は、側壁に設けられ、ワイドモードを有する。空調室内機(10)は、吸込口(14)と吹出口(15)とが形成されたケーシング(11)と、ケーシング(11)内に設けられるファン(12)と、吹出口(15)から吹き出される空気の流れである吹出気流を調節する気流調節機構(20)とを備える。吹出口(15)は、空調室内機(10)の左右方向に延伸する。吹出口(15)の延伸方向と直交する幅方向における長さ(L15)は、300mm以下である。吹出口(15)から空調室内機(10)の前方に1000mm離れた第1地点(P1)を始点とし且つ吹出口(15)から空調室内機(10)の前方に2000mm離れた第2地点(P2)を終点とする前後方向の範囲内に位置する少なくとも1つの地点を基準地点(P0)とする。基準地点(P0)を始点とし且つ基準地点(P0)から上方に1600mm離れた位置を終点とする上下方向の範囲を基準高さ範囲(R10)とする。基準高さ範囲(R10)を上下方向に三等分して得られる3つの範囲のうち、上側に位置する範囲を第1範囲(R11)、下側に位置する範囲を第2範囲(R12)、中央に位置する範囲を第3範囲(R13)とする。吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように空調室内機(10)が設けられる試験条件下において、気流調節機構(20)は、ワイドモードにおいて、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一となり、且つ、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.5倍未満となるように、吹出気流を調節する。
図10~図13に示すように、実施形態1による空調室内機(10)において、気流調節機構(20)は、第1風向調節羽根(31)および第2風向調節羽根(32)に加えて、少なくとも1つの第3風向調節羽根(33)を有してもよい。
第3風向調節羽根(33)は、吹出口(15)の延伸方向に沿うように延びる板状に形成され、吹出口(15)において第1風向調節羽根(31)と第2風向調節羽根(32)との間に設けられる。また、第3風向調節羽根(33)は、それぞれが異なる傾斜角(吹出口(15)の延伸方向に沿う揺動軸線の周りの角度)となる複数の姿勢に切り換え可能である。
なお、図10~図13に示した第1風向調節羽根(31)および第2風向調節羽根(32)の構成は、図1に示した第1風向調節羽根(31)および第2風向調節羽根(32)の構成と同様である。図10~図13では、第1揺動軸(311)および第2揺動軸(321)の図示を省略している。
また、図10~図13に示した空調室内機(10)の他の構成は、図1に示した空調室内機(10)の構成と同様である。
図10は、気流調節機構の変形例1の構成とワイドモードにおける風向調節羽根の姿勢を例示する。気流調節機構の変形例1では、第1風向調節羽根(31)は、吹出口(15)の後縁部と連続するように構成される。第2風向調節羽根(32)は、吹出口(15)の前縁部と連続するように構成される。第3風向調節羽根(33)は、吹出口(15)の幅方向(空調室内機(10)の前後方向)における中央部に配置される。
図11は、気流調節機構の変形例2の構成とワイドモードにおける風向調節羽根の姿勢を例示する。気流調節機構の変形例2では、第2風向調節羽根(32)は、吹出口(15)の後縁部から離れるように構成される。なお、気流調節機構の変形例2における第1風向調節羽根(31)および第3風向調節羽根(33)の構成は、図10に示した気流調節機構の変形例1における第1風向調節羽根(31)および第3風向調節羽根(33)の構成と同様である。
図12は、気流調節機構の変形例3の構成とワイドモードにおける風向調節羽根の姿勢を例示する。気流調節機構の変形例3では、第1風向調節羽根(31)は、吹出口(15)の前縁部から離れるように構成される。なお、気流調節機構の変形例3における第2風向調節羽根(32)および第3風向調節羽根(33)の構成は、図11に示した気流調節機構の変形例2における第2風向調節羽根(32)および第3風向調節羽根(33)の構成と同様である。
図13は、気流調節機構の変形例4の構成とワイドモードにおける風向調節羽根の姿勢を例示する。気流調節機構の変形例4では、2つの第3風向調節羽根(33)が吹出口(15)に設けられる。2つの第3風向調節羽根(33)は、吹出口(15)の延伸方向(空調室内機(10)の左右方向)に並んで配置される。なお、気流調節機構の変形例4における第1風向調節羽根(31)および第2風向調節羽根(32)の構成は、図11に示した気流調節機構の変形例2における第2風向調節羽根(32)および第2風向調節羽根(32)の構成と同様である。
以上のように、実施形態1の気流調節機構の変形例(具体的には変形例1~4)では、気流調節機構(20)は、第1風向調節羽根(31)と第2風向調節羽根(32)との間に設けられる少なくとも1つの第3風向調節羽根(33)を有する。第3風向調節羽根(33)は、ワイドモードにおいて吹出気流を上下方向に分割するように構成される。
なお、実施形態1による空調室内機(10)において、気流調節機構(20)は、試験条件下におけるワイドモードにおいて、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一となり、且つ、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.1倍未満であり且つ0.5倍以上となるように、吹出気流を調節するように構成されてもよい。
以上のように、実施形態1のワイド風速分布条件の変形例では、気流調節機構(20)は、試験条件下におけるワイドモードにおいて、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一となり、且つ、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.1倍未満であり且つ0.5倍以上となるように、吹出気流を調節する。
実施形態2による空調室内機(10)の構成は、図1および図2に示した実施形態1による空調室内機(10)の構成と同様である。例えば、この例では、吹出口(15)の幅方向における長さ(L15)は、300mm以下である。言い換えると、吹出口(15)の開口部の形状は、その開口部に外接する長方形の短辺の長さが300mm以下である。ここでいう「吹出口(15)の開口部に外接する長方形」とは、その内部に吹出口(15)の開口部がすべて含まれる長方形のうち最も面積が小さい長方形のことである。なお、吹出口(15)の長方形の短辺の長さは、150mm以下であってもよい。また、吹出口(15)の開口部に外接する長方形の長手方向は、水平方向である。
以上のように、実施形態2による空調室内機(10)は、吸込口(14)と吹出口(15)とが形成されたケーシング(11)と、ケーシング(11)内に設けられるファン(12)と、吹出口(15)から吹き出される空気の流れである吹出気流を調節する気流調節機構(20)とを備える。吹出口(15)の開口部の形状は、前記開口部に外接する長方形の短辺の長さが300mm以下である。吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように空調室内機(10)が設けられる試験条件下において、吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)の真下にある床面上の地点から空調室内機(10)の前方に1000mm離れた第1地点(P1)を始点とし且つ吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)の真下にある床面上の地点から空調室内機(10)の前方に2000mm離れた第2地点(P2)を終点とする前後方向の範囲内に位置する少なくとも1つの地点を基準地点(P0)とする。基準地点(P0)を始点とし且つ基準地点(P0)から上方に1600mm離れた位置を終点とする上下方向の範囲を基準高さ範囲(R10)とする。基準高さ範囲(R10)を上下方向に三等分して得られる3つの範囲のうち、上側に位置する範囲を第1範囲(R11)、下側に位置する範囲を第2範囲(R12)、中央に位置する範囲を第3範囲(R13)とする。吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように空調室内機(10)が設けられる試験条件下において、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一になるように吹出気流の風向を調節したときに、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.5倍未満となる。
なお、図10~図13に示した実施形態1の気流調節機構の変形例と同様に、実施形態2による空調室内機(10)において、気流調節機構(20)は、第1風向調節羽根(31)および第2風向調節羽根(32)に加えて、少なくとも1つの第3風向調節羽根(33)を有してもよい。第3風向調節羽根(33)は、第1風向調節羽根(31)と第2風向調節羽根(32)との間に設けられる。また、第3風向調節羽根(33)は、吹出気流を上下方向に分割するように構成される。
なお、実施形態2の空調室内機(10)は、試験条件下において、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一になるように吹出気流の風向を調節したときに、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.1倍未満であり且つ0.5倍以上となるように構成されてもよい。具体的には、この変形例では、吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように空調室内機(10)が設けられる試験条件下において、吹出気流の風向が基準高さ範囲(R10)へ向かう方向となり、且つ、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一となるように、吹出気流の風向を調節したときに、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.1倍未満であり且つ0.5倍以上となる。
以上のように、実施形態2のワイド風速分布条件の変形例では、吹出口(15)の基準位置(Q)が床面から上方に2000mm離れた位置となるように送風機が設けられる試験条件下において、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速と第2範囲(R12)の平均風速とが互いに略同一になるように吹出気流の風向を調節したときに、第1範囲(R11)の平均風速に対する第3範囲(R13)の平均風速の倍率が1.1倍未満であり且つ0.5倍以上となる。
以上の説明では、ワイド風速分布条件が成立すべき地点である基準地点(P0)が第1地点P1)である場合を例に挙げたが、これに限定されない。例えば、基準地点(P0)は、第2地点(P2)であってもよいし、第1地点(P1)を始点として第2地点(P2)を終点とする前後方向の範囲に含まれる任意の地点であってもよい。なお、吹出気流の空気流れの下流へ向かうに連れて吹出気流が上下方向に次第に広がっていく傾向があるので、第1地点(P1)においてワイド風速分布条件が成立する場合、第1地点(P1)を始点として第2地点(P2)を終点とする前後方向の範囲の全域においてワイド風速分布条件が成立する可能性が高い。逆に、第2地点(P2)においてワイド風速分布条件が成立したとしても、第1地点(P1)を始点として第2地点(P2)を終点とする前後方向の範囲(ただし第2地点(P2)を除く)においてワイド風速分布条件が成立しない場合がある。
