Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and particularly to an air conditioner for an air conditioned room having a high space with an atrium structure.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in order to air condition a room with a large space, it is necessary to efficiently and reliably supply cooled and hot air, so various devices have been devised in order to air condition a room that is different from normal air conditioning of a room to be air conditioned. There is.

For example, FIG. 2 is an overall configuration diagram showing a conventional air conditioning system for a high-ceilinged building described in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 62-66031.

In the figure, (1) is an air conditioner body installed near the ceiling of a high-ceilinged building such as a factory or warehouse, and blows out hot or cold air. (2) is an air supply and blower unit located on the extension line of the air blowing direction from the air outlet of the air conditioner main body (1), and it takes in hot air or cold air from the air conditioner main body (1) and indoors. Distribute wind to (3) is air blowing from the air conditioner main body (1) to the air intake/blower unit (2), and (4) is air blowing from the air intake/air blower unit (2) toward the room. Note that the operation of generating hot air or cold air using this air conditioner main body (1) is well known in the art, so a description thereof will be omitted here.

The air conditioning system for a high-ceilinged building with this configuration has an air intake and blower unit (2) separate from the air conditioner main body (1). Moreover, it does not have a duct for air blowing (3) that communicates the air conditioner main body (1) with the air intake/air blowing unit (2). Therefore, even if a structure such as a crane is installed in a high place near the ceiling of a factory, warehouse, etc., hot or cold air can be supplied indoors without changing the structure.

There is also a columnar air conditioner described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 63-10346, in order to widely air condition the air-conditioned room vertically.

Further, there is also a conditioned air outlet described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 6387462, which distributes cooled and heated air for air conditioning throughout the air-conditioned room.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The conventional air conditioner for air-conditioning a conditioned room having a high space, as described above, and various devices associated therewith are capable of controlling the entire interior of the conditioned room. It was constructed for the purpose of air conditioning.

However, even in an air-conditioned room having such a high space, the living space that actually requires air conditioning is often limited to a relatively lower part of the air-conditioned room. For example, in an air-conditioned room with an atrium structure in a typical home, the living space for humans is limited to the lower part. Nevertheless, in each type of air conditioner, in order to air-condition the entire room, it is necessary to air-condition the relatively lower part of the room to be air-conditioned intensively, as described above. On the contrary, it was not efficient.

Further, the conventional air conditioner of this kind as described above is exclusively used for high-ceiling buildings such as factories and warehouses, and requires the use of a special air conditioner main body.

Furthermore, the emphasis was placed on functionality, with little consideration given to appearance, etc., making them unsuitable for general household use.

Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide an air conditioner for high spaces that can efficiently air condition the living space of people, even in air-conditioned rooms in general households that have high spaces such as atrium structures. .

[Means for Solving the Problems] The air conditioner for a high space according to the present invention is located in the upper part (5a) of an air-conditioned room (5) having a high space, and generates a spiral downward airflow (8). Blowout unit (6) (7)
It is equipped with the following.

[Function] In the high-space air conditioner of the present invention, the blow-off units (6) and (7) are located in the upper part (5a) of the air-conditioned room (5) having a high space. )(
Since the spiral downward airflow (8) is sent from 7) toward the lower part (5b) of the conditioned room (5), warm or cold air is sent to the lower part (5b) of the conditioned room (5). The lower part (5b) of the air-conditioned room (5), which is a human living space, can be intensively air-conditioned.

[Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an installation example of an air conditioner for a high space, which is an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, (5) is an air-conditioned room with an atrium structure on the - floor and the second floor, from the upper part (5a) to the lower part (5b).
It has a high space. (6) is an octopus-shaped blowout unit installed on the ceiling, which is the upper part (5a) of the air-conditioned room (5), and (7) is also the upper part (5a) of the air-conditioned room (5).
It is a cylindrical blow-off unit disposed on the side wall, and the blow-off units (6) and (7) are blow-off units of different structures. (8) is a spiral downward airflow blown out by the blowing units (6) and (7).

In the air conditioner for high spaces with this configuration, the air conditioned room (5)
Blowout unit (6) (7) located in the upper part (5a) of
From there, hot air or cold air becomes a downdraft (8) and is blown out toward the lower part (5b) of the air-conditioned room (5). This downdraft (8) has a spiral shape and has a relatively large blowing energy, so that the hot or cold air reliably reaches the lower part (5b) of the air-conditioned room (5). Therefore, the warm air or cold air is quickly sent to the lower part (5b) of the air conditioned room (5), and the warm air or cold air is sent to the lower part (5b) of the air conditioned room (5).
It stays in the lower part (5b) of. In particular, during heating, warm air can be retained in the lower part (5b) of the air-conditioned room (5). Note that the air outlet units (6) and (7) are connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner body (not shown) buried in the ceiling or side wall, and the air conditioner body blows hot or cold air. generated. However, since the operation itself of generating hot air or cold air by this air conditioner main body is well known, the explanation will be omitted here.

As described above, in the high space air conditioner of this embodiment, a spiral downward airflow is generated from the blow-off units (6) and (7) located in the upper part (5a) of the air-conditioned room (5) having a high space. (8) is sent. Therefore, hot air or cold air can be reliably sent to the lower part (5b) of the conditioned room (5), and it is the relatively lower part (5b) of the conditioned room (5) that actually requires air conditioning. Since the human living space can be uniformly and intensively air-conditioned over a wide area, appropriate and comfortable air-conditioning can be performed extremely efficiently.

Furthermore, in the high-space air conditioner of this embodiment, the blow-off units (6) and (7) and the air conditioner main body are constructed separately, so that a normal air conditioner main body can be used. Therefore, it is economical because it does not require a dedicated special air conditioner body.

Furthermore, the blow-off units (6), (7) and L are not exposed in the air-conditioned room (5), which is designed in consideration of the design aspect, so it looks good and is suitable for general household use. Note that this air conditioner for high spaces may be used in factories, warehouses, etc.

The air conditioner for a high space in which the octopus-shaped blow-off unit (6) and the cylindrical blow-off unit (7) are respectively arranged in the side part (5a) has been described.
) may be provided separately and independently. Further, the blow-off units (6) and (7) are not limited to the shapes of the above embodiments, but may have any shape as long as they can send out the downdraft (8). Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the air conditioner for high spaces has a structure in which the outlet of the air conditioner main body is directly connected to the blow-off unit. You may use it to connect.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, the air conditioner for a high space according to the present invention has a simple configuration in which the blowing unit is located above the air-conditioned room having a high space and sends out a spiral downward airflow. This allows hot or cold air to be reliably sent to the lower part of the conditioned room, and allows air conditioning to be focused on the lower part of the conditioned room, which is the living space of humans, making it possible to perform appropriate and comfortable air conditioning extremely efficiently.
