Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an air conditioner equipped with a dehumidifying function, and the temperature of the dehumidified air is adjusted by controlling the amount of ventilation of the dehumidified air to the condenser. The present invention provides an air conditioner that can be used for drying bedding, cooling, heating, etc.

Conventionally, there have been two types of air conditioners for drying futons: one is a dehumidifier with a dedicated heating unit attached, and the other is one that uses an electric heater to blow heated air.

However, in both the former and the latter, the temperature of the blown air is considerably higher than the ambient temperature, so it is impossible to use it while a person is lying on a futon.

It is also conceivable to add a special blower to a conventional roomier conditioner and use it for drying futons, etc. However, with this configuration, the temperature of the blown air is extremely low, and it is also possible for people to dry futons. If it is lying down, it will not be usable.

In addition, if the room near conditioner is used for heating, it may not have a dehumidifying function, so it may not be able to dry sufficiently, or the temperature may be too high, or it may not be possible to obtain a desired temperature. This method is expensive and unsuitable for practical use.

Furthermore, in conventional air conditioners, the room temperature was set using a thermostat, which caused subtle temperature changes such as being too hot or too cold compared to the set temperature, causing discomfort to the user.

In addition, when the thermostat is turned off and on, various sounds are generated, such as the sound of refrigerant flowing, the sound of the compressor starting and stopping, and the sound of relays working, which often disturb sleep or surprise the user, causing various problems. It became.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional air conditioners.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings showing one embodiment thereof.

In FIG. 3, the damper 10 has a hinge 21 and an operating rod 22.
It is assembled by screws 6 or welding so as to perform circular motion with a constant radius using the hinge 21 as a fulcrum.

Furthermore, the sliding dampers 111, 11b are equipped with a U-shaped mounting plate 26 that is equipped with a rotation mechanism and a hinge 24 that serves as a fulcrum, and into which a slide plate 25 can be inserted and removed, and a U-shaped plate 26 that is attached to the slide plate 25. and an operating rod 28 that moves along the upper and lower rails 27 of the fin end face of the condenser 12.
These are each attached by welding or screws 6.

Here, the rails 27 are attached to four locations on both the left and right sides of the front and rear surfaces of the condenser 12, respectively.

Next, the damper 10 and the sliding damper 11 a
, 11b, the state and operation of the installation will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 6.

In FIG. 4, the damper 10 performs a circular motion between the upper surface of the condenser 12 and the exterior plate 5 at a constant radius using the fulcrum between the upper surface of the evaporator 9 and the exterior plate 5 as a fulcrum.

Further, in FIG. 6, the sliding damper 11a is mounted between the water tray 20 under the evaporator 9 and the box frame 8 as a fulcrum.

Further, the operating rod 28 moves up and down along rails 27 attached to the upper and lower front surfaces of the fins on the evaporator side of the condenser 12.

That is, the sliding dampers 11a and llb move in a circular motion using the hinge 24 as a fulcrum.

At this time, the operating rod 28 slides on the rail 27 of the condenser 12 in a straight line in the vertical direction.

In order to perform both of these movements smoothly, the slide plate 25 moves in and out of the mounting plate 26, and the mounting plate 26 performs a circular motion using the hinge 24 as a fulcrum.

Here, damper 10 and sliding damper 11
The operation of a and 11 b can be done by one wire type, which is generally used for operating the brakes of bicycles, etc., and the tube 31

That is, the damper 10 and the sliding damper 11
In each case, one end of the wire 29 of the control wire 30 is attached to the operating rod 28, and the tube 31 is fixed to the exterior plate of the main body 1.

Then, by moving the lever 29a provided at the other end of the wire 29, the damper 10 or the sliding damper 111. This is what drives llb.

Next, the blowing mechanism will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the figure, the blowing mechanism consists of two blowers 13, 14 each having a sirocco fan 34, 35 installed in a box 32, 33 equipped with a wind direction guide plate (not shown) arranged vertically.

A fulcrum of the sliding damper 11b is attached to the center of each of the upper and lower blowers 13, 14, and the slide damper 11b moves in a circle around this point, and moves close to the fin surface of the condenser 12 on the blower side.

In addition, the blower pipes 37a and 37 made of flexible pipes are installed on either side of the blower 13 and 14.
b(7) Connection ports 36a and 36b are attached, and air is blown by inserting air pipes 37a and 37b.

Next, the ventilation system path will be explained with reference to FIG.

In the figure, two upper blowers 13 arranged vertically draw outside air from the evaporator 9 side, and the flow is changed by switching the damper 10.

When the damper 10 is raised toward the upper exterior plate 15, the air flows directly to the blower 13 above.

Further, when the damper 10 is lowered to the condenser 12 side, the air that has passed through the evaporator 9 comes to pass through the condenser 12.

Two lower blowers 14 arranged vertically draw outside air through the box frame 8 and pass it through the condenser 12.

In this case, the rate at which the air passes through the condenser 12 changes depending on the positions of the sliding dampers 11a and 11b.

Next, the operating conditions of the air conditioner having these configurations will be explained with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9.

In the same figure, the air from the air conditioner 1 is supplied to the blower pipe 3.
7a, it is fed into the pine tress 39.

Moreover, the exhaust heat of the air conditioner 1 is discharged to the outdoors etc. through the blower pipe 37b.

Here, 40 indicates a bed, and 41 indicates a futon.

Here, the mattress 39 is elastic, has a space inside, and has a large number of ventilation holes on the front side.

In this way, the air conditioner main body 1 sucks outside air into the main body 1 to produce dehumidified and/or temperature-controlled air, which is then sent to the mattress 39 through the blower pipe 37a for drying or temperature control.

Next, temperature control of the dry air will be explained.

The tampers 10, 11a and 11b are operated by operating the lever 29a and the control wire 30 in all cases.

First, as shown in FIG. 10a, a sliding damper 11a
, 11b are raised above the condenser 12 rule 27, and the damper 10 is raised toward the exterior plate 5 side.

This results in a general cooling-only air conditioner cycle.

That is, as shown in FIG. 10, air from outside the machine is cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 9, and the cooled and dehumidified air flows directly into the blower 13 and is sent to the mattress 38 via the blow pipe 37a.

The condenser 12 side is cooled by outside air, which flows into the blower 14 and is exhausted via the blower pipe 37b.

Next, as shown in Fig. 11 a, l), the sliding damper 1
11, 11b are lowered to below the condenser 12 rule 27, and the damper 10 is lowered toward the condenser, so that the air from outside the machine is cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator 9.

Since this cooled and dehumidified air is heated at a high rate by the sensible heat of the condenser 12, dry and warm air is obtained.

Next, as shown in Figure 12 a, l), the sliding damper 1
By setting the positions of 18 and 11b at appropriate positions between the rails 27 and lowering the damper 10 toward the condenser 12, dry air at any temperature can be obtained.

In this way, by setting the sliding dampers 11a and 11b at appropriate positions, you can obtain dry air at any blowout temperature, and if you use that air to dry your futon, you can always maintain a comfortable futon temperature. The result is that high and low temperatures do not cause discomfort.

Furthermore, since the blowout temperature is adjusted by the dampers 11a and llb, the compressor 16 is always in an operating state.
Unlike the conventional system, various abnormal sounds are not emitted when the compressor 16 is stopped, and sleep is not disturbed.

In addition, if you use this air conditioner, you can do both cooling and dehumidification with one unit without using the expensive four-way valves used in air conditioners that are used for both cooling and heating.
It is economical and can serve the triple purpose of dehumidifying and heating.

Furthermore, by blowing air directly into the room from the connection port 36a without using the duct 37a, indoor dehumidification can be performed, and since heat is exhausted from the ducts 1 to 37b, although the capacity is small, it can be used indoors. air conditioning, heating, and dehumidification.

Note that similar effects can be expected even if a bellows-like extensible damper mechanism is adopted in place of the sliding dampers 11a and 11b.

As is clear from the above embodiments, the air conditioner in which the temperature of dehumidified air can be adjusted according to the present invention is provided inside the main body of the air conditioner, which is provided with an inlet, a conditioned air inlet, an outlet, and a conditioned air outlet, respectively. , an evaporator and a condenser constituting a refrigeration cycle are respectively arranged, and the air from the conditioned air inlet is connected to the evaporator and condenser on the upwind side and the leeward side of the condenser in the main body of the air conditioner. A damper is provided to form an air conditioning air passage through which the air is sent to the conditioned air outlet, and a condensed air passage through which air from the suction inlet is sent to the outlet through the condenser, and one end of the damper on the windward side is provided. It is rotatably installed between the suction port and the air-conditioned air suction port, and the other end is slidably installed across the top and bottom or left and right ends of the condenser, and one end of the damper on the leeward side is connected between the discharge port and the air conditioner. It is rotatably installed between the air outlet, and the other end is slidably attached to the top and bottom or left and right ends of the condenser. Depending on the top and bottom positions of each damper, the air cooled and dehumidified by the evaporator is By controlling the amount of air passing through the condenser, the blowout temperature can be adjusted arbitrarily, so items to be dried such as futons can be dried at any temperature.Moreover, since it is a dehumidifying dryer, the drying efficiency is high. Furthermore, the refrigeration cycle is not complicated for dehumidification, the size can be reduced, and it can be manufactured at low cost.

In addition, by making the windward and leeward side dampers expandable and retractable, the mechanism for adjusting the temperature of the blown air can be a rotary mechanism of the damper, which simplifies the configuration and reduces failures. It has various advantages, such as eliminating the need for an electric circuit for temperature control.
