Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION << Industrial Application Field >> The present invention relates to an air conditioner for a living area for maintaining an indoor living area of a building at a comfortable air temperature.

<Conventional technology> Conventional air conditioners generally use a ceiling outlet, and recently, many buildings have free access floors so that the layout of equipment installed on the floor can be done quickly. In addition to making it easy to change the floor space, floor-blowing type air conditioners are also in widespread use for the purpose of effectively utilizing the space above the floor.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, in the ceiling blowout type air conditioner, the feet are cold during heating in winter, and in the floor blowout type air conditioner, the feet are too cold in the summer and the head direction is thick. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an air conditioner for a living area in which the living area space is in a favorable temperature state throughout the year.

<< Means for Solving the Problem >> In order to achieve the above object, the air conditioner for a living area of the present invention is provided with an air supply duct vertically connected to an air supply path of an air conditioner in a wall panel such as a partition wall. Above and below the air supply duct, there are provided air outlets through the wall panel surface in the living area, and the outlets are equipped with shielding plates that can be opened and closed arbitrarily.

<Operation> In the summer, open the upper outlet shield plate and close the lower outlet shield plate in the outlet shield plate. On the contrary, in winter, the upper shield plate of the outlet is closed and the lower shield plate of the outlet is opened.

Thus, cool air can be blown from the upper part of the living area during cooling in summer, and conversely, warm air can be blown into the living area from the outlet near the floor below in winter.

<< Examples >> Hereinafter, preferred examples of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, the conditioned air that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger in the machine room of the building is taken out from the air supply passage 1 arranged in the ceiling to the room 2.

The room 2 is separated by a partition wall 3. The partition wall 3 is provided with an air supply path having vertical holes penetrating above the ceiling and below the floor as air supply ducts 4 for air conditioning, and the flexible duct 6 is provided.
The upper end of the air supply duct 4 in the partition wall 3 is connected to the air supply passage 1. In this embodiment, since the air supply passage 1 is located above the ceiling, the upper end of the air supply duct 4 is connected to the air supply passage 1 by the flexible duct 6, but the air is supplied under the floor as in the case of the floor blowing type. When the air chamber is configured, the connecting pipe from the air supply chamber is connected to the lower end of the air supply duct 4.

Further, a silencer filter 8 is provided at the tip end portion where the flexible duct 6 is connected to the air supply duct 4 for the purpose of reducing air supply noise.

In this way, the air supply duct 4 is formed inside the partition wall 3, and near the floor of the air supply duct 4, the floor outlets 9 are formed on both sides of the partition wall 3 to form a substantial living space. The upper outlet 11 is formed at the position. Both the floor outlet 9 and the upper outlet 11 are air outlets which are provided with air conditioners or the like at the openings through both sides of the partition wall 3 so that the air outlet direction can be slightly changed. Here, the actual height of the living area is approximately
It is thought that the height is up to 2m4 and 50cm.

The upper outlet 11 is provided at a position corresponding to the height A of the living area, and a shielding plate that slides up and down along the opening 12 of the outlet 11 as shown in FIG. 2 so that the outlet can be opened and closed. It has 14. The shield plate 14 is located on the air supply duct 4 side, and slides the opening surfaces 12 extending through both surfaces of the partition wall 3 from the inside to open and close the opening and closing surfaces.

The opening surface 12 has a structure in which it is slightly separated into upper and lower parts, and the shield plate 14 is separated into upper and lower parts when it is lowered.
These open surfaces 12 open when they are closed and raised up. As described above, in order to move the shield plate 14 up and down, the knob 16 fixed to the shield plate 14 is projected on the surface of the partition wall 3, and this protruding knob 16 is moved up and down. Although only the upper outlet 11 is shown in FIG. 2, the floor outlet 9 has exactly the same structure. Therefore, since the shielding plate of the floor outlet 9 can be freely opened and closed by hand, the shielding plates 14 of the floor outlet 9 and the upper outlet 11 can be individually opened and closed freely. Therefore, it is also possible to open only the upper outlet 11 located above the air supply duct 4 and close the floor outlet 9 or vice versa, both of them can be simultaneously closed or opened downward.

<Effect> As described in detail above, according to the air conditioner for a living area of the present invention, an air supply duct is formed in a wall panel such as a partition wall, and air outlets are provided above and below the air supply duct, respectively. Since a shielding board that can open and close the mouth is installed, cold air can be blown from the upper part of the living area in summer, and warm air can be blown from the lower air outlet in winter. In any of the blowout type air conditioners, there is an effect that the conditioned air can be supplied from the most suitable position.
