Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a building having a heat storage unit filled with a heat storage agent capable of storing and releasing heat by exchanging heat with air, and contacting air in a living space with the heat storage unit through an air suction passage. The present invention relates to an air conditioner provided with a fan that circulates the air.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, this type of air conditioner is provided with a suction port 9 at an upper part of a wall 3 facing a living space 1, an air outlet 12 at a lower part, and a building. In some cases, the heat storage body 2 and the fan 10 were provided between the suction port 9 and the air outlet 12 inside the wall 3. In the air conditioner, for example, when the air inside the living space 1 becomes high temperature such as in the daytime, the fan 10 is operated to guide the high-temperature air to the heat storage element 2, and the high-temperature air and the heat storage element 2
Heat exchange between Then, the air that has lost heat energy and has become low temperature is returned to the living space 1 from the outlet 12 again, so that the internal temperature of the living space 1 is maintained at a comfortable temperature. On the other hand, when the temperature of the air inside the living space 1 becomes low at night, the fan 10 is operated to guide the low-temperature air in the living space 1 from the suction port 9 to the heat storage body 2, And heat exchange between the heat storage body 2 again,
By returning the heated air from the outlet 12 to the living space 1 again, the internal temperature of the living space 1 was also maintained at a comfortable temperature.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned conventional air conditioner has the following problems. That is, each of the suction port 9, the air outlet 12, the heat storage body 2, the fan 10, and the wall 3 constituting the air conditioning equipment is often configured as a series of units. In many cases, the suction port 9 and the air outlet 12 are provided in a state where they are opened in advance in a member constituting the wall 3. For this reason, especially, the suction port 9 formed above the wall member becomes conspicuous from inside the living space 1, and the interior of the living space 1 may be impaired. In addition, since the suction port 9 has a configuration that opens in the vertical direction X, the suction port 9 has the highest temperature among the high-temperature air in the living space 1 although it is provided as high as possible in the wall 3. It was not possible to suck only the air that had flowed, and in addition to the air that had reached the highest temperature, air had to be sucked at a low temperature to some extent at the same time. For this reason, heat exchange in the heat storage body 2 could not be performed most efficiently. An object of the present invention is to provide an air-conditioning system that solves such disadvantages of the related art, enables efficient air conditioning of the living space 1, and improves the interior of the living space 1.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

(Configuration 1) As described in claim 1, the air-conditioning equipment of the present invention arranges a suction port for taking in air from a living space of a building into an air suction path and bringing the air into contact with a heat storage body on a ceiling, It is characterized in that an air outlet for returning the air after contacting the outer surface of the heat storage body to the interior of the living space again is arranged on at least one of the baseboard below the wall or the floor. (Operation / Effect) Like this configuration, a suction port is provided on the ceiling,
By providing the outlet on the baseboard or floor, the suction port and the outlet can be made inconspicuous, and the interior of the living space can be improved. In addition, with this configuration, the heat utilization efficiency is improved. Generally, the ceiling is located at the highest point in the living space, and therefore, the hottest air among the air in the living space stays near the ceiling. Therefore, if the suction port is provided on the ceiling, the high-temperature air can be reliably sucked, and the heat storage efficiency can be improved. On the other hand, if the air heated by the heat storage element is blown back into the living space, if the air outlet is installed on the baseboard or floor, the warmed air will be supplied to the lower part where the temperature in the living space is the lowest. Therefore, the heating effect in the living space can be improved.

(Configuration 2) As described in claim 2, the air conditioner of the present invention can be configured by arranging the heat storage body at least under the ceiling, inside the wall, or under the floor. (Operation / Effect) In the present configuration, for example, when a heat storage body is provided inside the wall, the heat of the high-temperature air can be effectively stored since the high-temperature air in the living space is easily guided. Also,
When the heat storage body is provided inside the wall, the heat storage wall can be manufactured as a unit in a factory or the like in advance, and the labor for actually constructing the building can be greatly reduced. On the other hand, when the heat storage body is provided above the ceiling, the distance until the high-temperature air in the living space is led to the heat storage body is the shortest. The loss can be minimized, and the heat exchange efficiency in the heat storage body can be increased. When the heat storage body is provided under the ceiling or under the floor, the thickness of the wall can be reduced as compared with a conventional air conditioner in which the heat storage body is provided inside the wall, so that the living space can be made wider. Can be secured.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an example of the air conditioner of the present invention. The air conditioner stores heat of the air in the living space 1 heated by, for example, daytime sunlight, that is, heat energy of the indoor air in the heat storage unit 2 and heats the living space 1 at night or the like. The heat storage of the body 2 is supplied to the living space 1 again. The inside of the heat storage body 2 is filled with a heat storage agent 2a capable of storing and releasing heat by exchanging heat with air, and the heat storage body 2 is provided, for example, inside a wall 3 of a building. As the heat storage agent 2a, for example mixtures of calcium hydrate chloride and water, or a low melting point of various plastics, paraffin compound, a substance that utilizes the latent heat of phase transformation with the absorption and release of heat such as wax A material that simply uses sensible heat, such as a stone, various metals, and a cement board, may be used. In the case of the former substance using latent heat, for example, a phase transformation is set at a temperature of about 20 ° C. When using latent heat, a large amount of heat absorption and discharge can be secured. On the other hand, in the case of the latter substance using sensible heat, troubles such as leakage of the heat storage material can be reliably prevented. . The wall 3 is composed of, for example, a heat storage wall 3a. The heat storage wall 3a is formed by providing a panel member 4 which is generally integrally formed of a cement-based material inside the wall 3. Inside the panel member 4, a heat storage body accommodation space 5 penetrating in the vertical direction X is provided.
And an air suction passage 6 for sucking room air into the heat storage element housing space 5 and a heat exchange between the sucked room air and the heat storage element 2 provided inside the heat storage element storage space 5, and then blowing the air into the living space 1. An air outlet 7 is formed. As described above, when the structure including the heat storage body 2 inside the wall 3 is used, it can be manufactured as a unit in a factory or the like in advance, and the labor required when actually constructing the building can be greatly reduced. Can be.

[0007] The air suction path 6 is, for example, a living space 1.
Is connected to a suction port 9 formed in a part of the ceiling 8 of the camera. The air suction path 6 is provided with a fan 10 for guiding the high-temperature air inside the living space 1 to the position of the heat storage unit 2 and bringing the air into contact with the heat storage unit 2. Connect the suction port 9 to the ceiling 8
Is provided for the following reason. That is, generally, ceiling 8
Is located at the highest point in the living space 1, so the ceiling 8

On the other hand, the air outlet path 7 is, for example, a wall 3
Is connected to an air outlet 12 provided in a baseboard 11 below. With this configuration, the room air warmed by the heat storage body 2 that stores heat during the day can be supplied to the lower part of the living space 1 where the temperature is the lowest, so that the heating effect of the living space 1 is improved. The outlet 12 is provided with a lid member 13 which can be opened and closed. For example, after all the heat stored in the heat storage body 2 has been consumed, the outlet 1
2 is maintained in the open state, the cool air near the wall 3 cooled by the outside air flows from the air outlet 12 to the living space 1.
This is because the interior of the living space 1 cannot be maintained at an appropriate temperature. Further, the fan 10 may be provided in the air blowing passage 7 in addition to the structure provided in the air suction passage 6.

(Effect) According to the air conditioner of the present invention, the air inside the living space 1 heated by the sunshine is stored in the heat storage body 2.
Since the heat is stored and the heat is released at night, the air conditioning of the living space 1 can be efficiently performed, and for example, the amount of heat required for heating the living space 1 can be reduced. In the air conditioning system of the present invention, a suction port 9 for guiding the air in the living space 1 to the heat storage unit 2 is provided in the ceiling 8, and the air after contacting the heat storage unit 2 is returned to the living space 1 again. Outlets 12 are provided in the baseboard 11 and the like formed below the wall 3 so that the suction ports 9 and the outlets 12 can be made inconspicuous inside the living space 1, and the conventional suction ports 9 can be used. The interior of the living space 1 can be improved as compared with the air conditioner provided on the wall 3.

In this case, since the air absorption path 6 has a configuration penetrating through the inside of the wall 3, it is necessary to prevent the temperature from dropping while the room air passes through the air absorption path 6. Therefore, a heat insulating material is provided on the wall 3 to form a heat insulating wall structure. In the case of this configuration, the wall 3
The thickness of the wall 3 can be made smaller than that of an air conditioner in which the heat storage body 2 is provided in the interior of the vehicle, so that the living space 1 can be secured more widely. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3, if the outlet 12 is provided on the floor 14, for example, the air inside the air absorption passage 6, which has a low temperature at night, directly enters the living space 1. Can be prevented. In addition, if a lid member 13 that can be opened and closed is provided in the air outlet 12,
Intrusion of cold air can be more reliably prevented.

<3> In the above embodiment, the air outlet 1
Although the example in which 2 is provided on the baseboard 11 and the floor 14 is shown, as shown in FIG. 4, the heat storage body 2 may be provided in the back of the ceiling 8 a and the outlet 12 may be provided in the ceiling 8. With this configuration, the distance from the suction port 9 to the heat storage body 2 and the distance from the heat storage body 2 to the air outlet 12 can be configured to be the shortest, and the heat storage effect and the heat storage use effect can be improved. In addition to being able to
Since it is not necessary to form the heat storage body 2 or the air suction passage 6 inside the wall 3, a large living space 1 can be secured without compressing the living space 1.
