Description

  The present invention relates to a blower device that is placed on the floor, installed on a wall or ceiling, and used to reduce the temperature of the body directly felt by the wind or to circulate indoor air.

  Conventionally, this type of air blower includes an impeller and a motor in a base serving as a pedestal, and air is circulated so as to blow out horizontally from an annular air blower provided at the top of the base. In addition, a home blower that generates a flow of air is known (for example, see Patent Document 1).

  Hereinafter, the blower will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.

  FIG. 6 is a projection view of the blower assembly 100 as viewed from the front, and FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional projection view of the blower assembly 100. The blower assembly 100 has an annular nozzle 101 that defines a central opening 102. A motor 122 that creates an air flow through the annular nozzle 101 is disposed within the base 116 along with the motor housing 126. Further, the impeller (impeller) 130 is connected to a rotating shaft extending outward from the motor 122, and the motor 122 in which the diffuser 132 is positioned downstream of the impeller 130 is connected to an electrical connection unit and a power source. A plurality of selection buttons 120 allow the user to operate the blower assembly 100.

  In the above configuration, the above-described blower assembly 100 operates as follows. The motor 122 is driven by the user appropriately selecting from a plurality of selection buttons 120. Thus, the motor 122 is activated and air is drawn into the blower assembly 100 through the air inlet 124. Air flows through the outer casing 118 to the inlet 134 of the impeller 130. The air flow that exits the outlet 136 of the diffuser 132 and the exhaust portion of the impeller 130 is divided into two air flows that travel in opposite directions through the internal passage 110. The air flow is throttled as it enters the mouth 112 and is further throttled at the outlet 144 of the mouth 112. This throttling creates pressure in the system. The air flow thus created overcomes the pressure produced by the restriction and the air flow exits through the outlet 144 as the primary air flow. The primary air flow is concentrated or focused toward the user depending on the arrangement of the guide portion 148. The secondary air flow is generated by entrainment of air from the outside environment, particularly from the area around the outlet 144 and around the outer edge of the annular nozzle 101. This secondary air flow passes through the central opening 102 where there is a total air flow that mixes with the primary air flow and is discharged forward from the blower assembly 100.

JP 2010-077969 A

  In such a conventional blower, the blowing direction is fixed, and when the blowing direction is variable, the entire assembly is moved by providing a stationary base at the bottom of the assembly, which is complicated. Drive mechanism and a drive motor capable of generating a large torque that can move the entire heavy assembly are required, and there is a problem that it is necessary to secure a space for driving the entire assembly having a large volume. .

  SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a blower that can change the blowing direction with a simple and small drive energy and can effectively use the space.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a high-pressure air generating portion of a box body having an impeller and an electric motor inside and having an air suction port on the outer side, and a parallel air for blowing high-pressure air to one side as an air flow. Two rows of blow-out portions each having a slit opening, and a connecting path for connecting the high-pressure air generating portion and a part of the blow-out portion, each of the two rows of blow-out portions having a space between each slit The blower is provided with an air volume varying means that is provided so that the opening directions intersect with each other and changes the air volume ratio of the high-pressure air to each of the blowing sections, thereby achieving an intended purpose.

  According to the present invention, the direction of the airflow can be varied by a drive mechanism that does not take an installation space, so that the comfortable range can be expanded with a small drive energy and the space can be used effectively.

  The ceiling fan according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a high-pressure air generating portion of a box having an impeller and an electric motor inside and having an air suction port on the outer shell, and parallel slits for blowing high-pressure air to one side as an air flow There are two rows of blowing portions having openings, and a connection path that connects the high-pressure air generating portion and a part of the blowing portion, and the two rows of blowing portions have a space between them and each slit opening direction Are air blowers provided with air volume varying means that change the air volume ratio of the high-pressure air to each of the blowing sections.

  As a result, if the flow rates of the two blowing parts are the same, they collide with each other to generate an air flow in the center of the two slit opening directions, and if one side is a low flow blowing part, it is pushed by the other strong air flow and the low flow blowing Since the air flow is generated in the direction of the part and the air flow direction can be changed without driving the outer shell, the blowing direction can be changed with a small driving energy, and the space can be used effectively.

  In addition, the air volume variable means is a damper provided in the connection path with the high-pressure air generator, and it is only necessary to drive light and small parts to change the air flow direction, so that the blowing direction can be easily changed with small driving energy. I can do it.

  Further, the relationship between the distance D (m) between the slit openings and the blowing wind speed V (m / s) is D × V = 0.9 and 0.15 ≦ V ≦ 20. By providing a space between the parts, the flow of the space that is attracted by the blowout from the slit opening is amplified, so the blowing energy for sending the same amount of airflow to the distance can be reduced, and it is comfortable with low power consumption A feeling of airflow can be given.

  In addition, a connection path is connected to one end of the blowing part, and the cross-sectional area in the direction perpendicular to the direction connecting both ends of the blowing part decreases as the distance from the connection path decreases, and the connection part in which the air path is stuck It is possible to generate a uniform air flow at each slit opening position by suppressing air unevenness that is often released at the opposite end.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a blower according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the blower device 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention is a floor-standing type, and includes a box body having an impeller and an electric motor 2 inside at a lower portion and an air inlet 4 in an outer shell 3. High-pressure air generating section 5, two rows of blowing sections 7 having parallel slit openings 6 having a width of 2 mm and a length of about 500 mm for blowing high-pressure air to one side as an air stream, and high-pressure air generating section 5 and blowing It has a connection path 9 that connects one end 8 of the section 7.

  2A is a cross-sectional view taken along plane A of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along plane B of FIG. 1, with the two rows of outlets 7 having a distance D of about 90 mm therebetween. Each slit opening direction 11 is provided so as to intersect, and air is discharged as a jet into the room at a blowout average speed V of about 10 m / s.

  FIG. 3 is an internal projection view of the inside of the connection path 9 as viewed from the direction of the high-pressure air generating section 5. As shown in FIG. 2, the air volume changing means for changing the air volume ratio of the high-pressure air to each blowing section 7 is shown. In addition, a rotary damper 13 that rotates and partially closes the air passage 12 to the two outlets, and a drive motor 14 that drives the rotary damper 13 are provided.

  Further, the blowout portion 7 has one end connected to the connection path 9, and the cross section in the direction perpendicular to the direction connecting both ends of the blowout portion is from the A surface in FIG. 2A to the B surface in FIG. 2B. The cross-sectional area becomes smaller as it approaches the other end.

  With the above configuration, when the impeller is driven by the electric motor, air is sucked from the suction port 4 and compressed in the high-pressure air generating unit 5, and the compressed air passes through the connection path 9 to the blowing unit 7. When the air is blown out and air is blown out from the slit opening 6, an indoor airflow is generated, and the sensible temperature is reduced by direct wind and the indoor air is circulated.

  Here, FIG. 4 shows the relationship between D and the passing air volume ratio at the downstream 1.5m point when V = 10 m / s (1 in the case of single blow × 2), and D = 90 mm. This indicates that the downstream flow rate is maximized.

  Since the characteristics of the air flow follow the similar side of the fluid, if the Reynolds number (= (representative speed x representative length) / (kinematic viscosity coefficient x density)) is the same, the characteristics will be the same, If the slit opening width (1.5 mm in the present embodiment) is very small, the kinematic viscosity coefficient and the density are not changed under indoor conditions, so that the Reynolds number ∝V × D = 0.9, It has sufficient characteristics to reduce the sensible temperature due to direct wind and to circulate indoor air. The wind speed at which a human can feel the airflow is about 0.15 m / s, and the blown wind speed is 20 m. Taking into account that the noise at the slit will be unacceptable in a room where the noise at the slit exceeds 50 dB when exceeding / s, it is possible to give a comfortable airflow feeling by setting to about 0.15 ≦ V ≦ 20. I can do it. Further, in addition to this state, the rotary damper 13 is provided as an air volume variable means for changing the air volume ratio of the high pressure air to each of the air outlets 7, so that if the flow rates of both air outlets are the same, they collide with each other and the two slits. If an air flow is generated in the center of the opening direction and one side is used as a low flow outlet, it is pushed by the other strong air flow and generates an air flow in the direction of the low flow outlet. Since the direction can be changed to the left and right, the blowing direction can be changed with a small driving energy, and the space can be effectively used.

  Further, the air volume varying means is a rotary damper 13 provided in the high-pressure air generating section 5 and the connection path 9, and this rotary damper 13 is light and small in size to change the air flow direction with a small drive energy of the drive motor 14. Since only the components need to be driven, the blowing direction can be varied with simple and small driving energy.

  In addition, since the connection path is connected to one end of the blowout part 7 and the cross-sectional area in the direction perpendicular to the direction connecting the both ends of the blowout part becomes smaller from the connection path, the air becomes a wind path. The internal pressure can be uniformly suppressed against the unevenness of air in which the internal pressure at the end opposite to the connection portion where the air flow is locally increased and a large amount of air is partially discharged from this location. It becomes a shape, and it becomes possible to generate a uniform air flow at each slit opening position.

  In the present embodiment, the high-pressure air generator 5 is arranged at the lower part of the blower 1 so that the slit opening 6 is vertically long. However, the slit opening 6 is configured to be sideways. In this case, the wind direction can be varied up and down.

  Also, the rotary damper 13 is driven by the drive motor 14, but the main part is the first part? ? For example, the lever connected to the rotary damper 13 may be made to project manually, and the blowing direction can be changed with a light force.

(Embodiment 2)
In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of a blower according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the blower device 21 according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is a ceiling-mounted type, and has a configuration in which the top surface 22 is attached to the ceiling via bolts, screws, or the like. The high-pressure air generator 5 and the high-pressure air generator 5 through the two connection paths 9 at the center of the two rows of outlets 7 having the slit openings 6 for blowing high-pressure air in the direction opposite to the ceiling. It is configured to be connected, and includes a slide damper 23 that is installed on the lower surface of the high-pressure air generating unit 5 and operates in parallel to partially block the air path to the blowing unit.

  With the above configuration, air is sucked in from the suction port 4 and compressed in the high-pressure air generating unit 5, the compressed air flows into the blowing unit 7 through the connection path 9, and the air is blown out from the slit opening 6. As a result, an indoor airflow is generated, and the temperature of the sensible temperature is reduced by direct wind and the indoor air is circulated.

  Further, since the slide damper 23 is provided as an air volume variable means for changing the air volume ratio of the high-pressure air to each of the air outlets 7, if the flow rates of both air outlets are the same, they collide with each other and flow into the center of the two slit opening directions If one side is a low flow rate blowing part, it will be pushed by the other strong air flow and generate an air flow in the direction of the low flow rate blowing part, so the air flow direction can be changed without driving the outer shell, The blowing direction can be changed with a small driving energy, and the space can be used effectively.

  In the second embodiment, the air blower 21 is a ceiling-mounted type. However, the airflow direction can be varied in the vertical direction or the left-right direction by being attached to the side wall.

  Since the air blower according to the present invention can change the wind direction without moving the entire assembly, the blowing direction can be easily changed with a small drive energy, and it is not necessary to secure a space in the range where the entire assembly is driven. It can be used effectively, and is useful as a variety of blower devices used to reduce the temperature of sensation due to direct wind for houses and to circulate indoor air.
