Description

  The present invention relates to a cooler such as a fan or a ceiling fan that is installed on a ceiling or a wall in a living room and is used for reducing the temperature of sensation caused by direct wind or circulating indoor air.

  Conventionally, this type of cool air blower has an impeller and a motor enclosed in a base that serves as a pedestal, and air circulates in such a manner 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. 9 and 10.

  FIG. 9 shows the blower assembly 100 as viewed from the front. 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.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cool air blower according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional perspective view of the same cool air blower, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged configuration diagram showing a cross section of a blowing portion of the cool air blower. Indicates.

  First, the configuration of the first embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cool air fan of Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a casing 2 as a main body, and is rotated by an electric motor 3 and an electric motor 3 that are fixed to the casing 2. An impeller 4 is provided, the casing 2 has a suction port 5 for supplying air to the impeller 4, a connector 7 for mounting the impeller 4 so as to be parallel to a ceiling 6 as a wall surface, and a casing Are connected to each other, and a duct portion 8 whose inside is an air path from the impeller 4 and two rows of linear shapes held via the duct portion 8 are opposed to each other. The diameter is 300 mm, and the nozzle portion 9 is 500 mm in the longitudinal direction and is installed on the ceiling 6.

  Here, the nozzle unit 9 has two chambers 10 and two slit outlets 12 that are vertically downward with respect to the ceiling 6. Each slit outlet 12 has a substantially linear shape in the slit longitudinal direction (perpendicular to the plane of FIG. 3). However, the jets 15 are blown out toward the blowing space 11 as indicated by arrows. The positional relationship of the line shapes being parallel to each other means that the line shapes are on the same plane.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the distance A between the parallel slit outlets 12 is set to 80 mm, and the shortest distances B1 and B2 with respect to the ceiling 6 of each of the opposed nozzle portions 9 are set to 80 mm.

  Moreover, the casing 2 has a lighting fixture 13 having the same shape as a hanging ceiling and hanging rosette at the lower portion, and a lighting fixture 14 such as a ceiling light can be attached.

  In addition, the opening width D of the slit outlet 12 is 3 mm, and the blown wind speed V is 6.5 to 7.0 m / s.

  Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be described. When the impeller 4 is rotated by the electric motor 3, the air around the cool air fan 1 flows into the suction port 5 and is sent to the outside of the impeller 4. This air is accumulated in the chamber 10 through the duct portion 8 and becomes high pressure, and is blown out toward the blowing space 11 from the slit blowing port 12 as a jet 15 due to a pressure difference with the outside. The jet 15 diffuses in the blowout space 11 to become a gentle air flow, and an air flow for obtaining a circulation effect and a cool wind feeling is generated from the ceiling.

  Here, FIG. 4 shows a downstream surface of 1.5 m from the nozzle part 9 with respect to the distance A between the nozzle parts 9 with the distances B1 and B2 between the nozzle part 9 and the ceiling being 80 mm and the air volume from the slit outlet 12 being constant. Since the distance A is 80 mm, a large amount of downstream airflow can be generated, and the above-described jet 15 can be efficiently generated with less energy.

  Note that this tendency is that, as the distance between the nozzle portions 9 becomes smaller, the air between the nozzle portions 9 is dragged and repelled into the blow-out space 11, resulting in a negative pressure between the nozzle portions 9. It is considered that the downstream passing air volume is increased by strongly attracting ambient air and being supplied between the nozzle portions 9. However, if the distance A is too close, the space as the air passage between the nozzle portions 9 is narrowed, so that the surrounding air is prevented from being attracted. Therefore, the air flow amount 1.5 m downstream from the nozzle portion 9 with respect to the distance A is optimal. A relationship with a value.

  FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the power consumption of the nozzle portion 9 and the noise level of the main body with respect to the opening width D of the slit outlet 12. The power consumption of the nozzle unit 9 is calculated from the product of the input air flow rate and the total pressure at a distance of 100 mm of the nozzle unit 9. Since the opening width D is 3 mm, the power consumption and the noise value are almost in the minimum range.

  By making the slit outlets 12 of the nozzle portions 9 parallel to each other by the above-described configuration and operation, a large air volume can be blown into the outlet space from the energy of a small air volume required for generating the jet flow of the slit outlet 12 due to the attraction effect. Since it can generate energy, it can be used effectively by installing it on a wall such as a ceiling to obtain a circulation effect and a cool breeze, and a comfortable space with a circulation effect and a cool breeze can be generated. .

  Further, the distance A between the parallel slit outlets and the closest approach distances B1 and B2 with the ceiling 6 of each of the opposed nozzle portions 9 are 0.67A <B1 <1.33A, 0.49A <B2 <1. By making it within the range of 33A, since it becomes an efficient condition in which the ratio of the jet flow rate from the slit nozzle and the air volume in the blow-out space is within the range of 85% from the maximum value, it is more energy-saving and comfortable. A generation of space can be generated.

  In addition, by adopting a structure that can attach a lighting fixture to the lower part of the main unit, a light source can be installed at a position where the effect on the attraction effect is small and installed on the ceiling wall surface, and it can be integrated as a lighted cooler. It is possible to install a cool air blower at a location where the lighting function is maintained, and the size of the cooler is reduced because it is configured to overlap the main body. Furthermore, since the illumination fixture 13 has the same shape as the hanging ceiling and hanging rosette, a commercially available illumination can be freely selected.

  In the first embodiment, the opening of the slit outlet 12 has a linear shape and is formed as the slit outlet 12 oriented in a direction perpendicular to the ceiling 6. However, as shown in the sectional view of FIG. 6A, the nozzle angle C may be changed so that the nozzle central portion 18 is smoothly connected in the direction of the blowing space 11 along the longitudinal direction as shown in FIG. 6B. In FIG. 6A, C = 0 degrees, and in FIG. 6B, C = 30 degrees. By blowing out the direction of the jet rather than blowing out in the same direction in the entire area of the slit outlet 12, Since the movement of air is diffused, a soft air current can be blown in a wide range, and a comfortable space can be generated in a wide range.

  In the first embodiment, each slit outlet 12 has a symmetrical shape in the same direction perpendicular to the ceiling and the same distance as the ceiling. However, the slit outlet 12 may have an asymmetrical shape with a different distance from the ceiling. The directions may not be the same direction, and energy that can blow a large amount of air into the blowing space can be generated from the energy of the small amount of air necessary for generating the jet flow from the slit outlet 12 by the attraction effect. In order to obtain a cool breeze, the space can be used effectively by installing it on a wall such as a ceiling, and a comfortable space where a circulation effect and a cool breeze can be obtained can be generated.

  As described above, it is possible to create a space-saving, energy-saving and comfortable space by creating an airflow in the entire living room, especially by installing it on the ceiling wall, and defining an optimal relative distance from the wall surface by wall mounting. it can.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a cool air blower according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and FIG. The same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  First, the configuration of the second embodiment will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the cool air blower according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention includes an electric motor 3 fixed to the casing 2 inside the casing 2 and an impeller 4 rotated by the electric motor 3. The casing 2 has a suction port 5 for supplying air to the impeller 4, a connection tool 7 for installing the impeller 4 so as to be parallel to the ceiling 6 as a wall surface, and an outer side connected to the casing. Are arranged radially, and the inside is a duct portion 8 serving as an air passage from the impeller 4, and double annular nozzle portions 16 facing two rows held via the duct portion 8. The annular nozzle portion 16 is installed on the ceiling with an inner diameter of 600 mm and an outer diameter of 800 mm.

  Here, the nozzle part 9 has a chamber 10 and a slit outlet 12 that faces the outlet space 11 vertically downward with respect to the ceiling 6, and the slit outlets 12 of the annular nozzle parts 16 are parallel to each other.

  Moreover, the casing 2 has a lighting fixture 13 having the same shape as a hanging ceiling and hanging rosette at the lower portion, and a lighting fixture 14 such as a ceiling light can be attached.

  Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described. When the impeller 4 is rotated by the electric motor 3, the air around the cool air fan 1 flows into the suction port 5 and is sent to the outside of the impeller 4. This air is accumulated in the chamber 10 through the duct portion 8 and becomes a high pressure, and a jet flow is blown out toward the blowout space 11 from the slit blowout opening 12 due to a pressure difference with the outside. The jet is diffused in the blowout space 11 to become a gentle air flow, and an air flow for generating a circulation effect and a cool breeze is generated from the ceiling.

  By making the slit outlets 12 of the annular nozzle portions 16 parallel to each other by the above-described configuration and operation, a large amount of air is blown from the energy of a small amount of air necessary for generating the jet of the slit outlet 12 to the outlet space by an attraction effect. Since energy that can be generated can be generated, the space can be effectively used by installing it on a wall such as a ceiling in order to obtain a circulation effect and a cool breeze, and an energy-saving and comfortable space can be generated.

  Further, the opposing nozzles are curved and connected to form a double annular nozzle portion 16, and a main body is provided at the inner center of the annular nozzle portion 16, and the annular nozzle portion is composed of a plurality of duct portions 8 extending radially from the main body. Since the duct portion 8 and the nozzle portion 9 are cantilevered as in the first embodiment, a large local stress is not applied to the root of the duct portion 8 with a strong moment. By connecting the nozzle part 16 and the casing 2 with the duct part 8 and supporting them with both ends, the positions of the center of the body and the center of gravity coincide with each other, and the local stress concentration can be suppressed by the moment occurring in the cantilever state. A large reinforcement is not required around the duct portion 8 as a holder, and the weight can be reduced.

  The cool air blower according to the present invention can generate an air current in the entire living room, particularly by being installed on the ceiling wall, and can create an energy-saving and comfortable space by defining an optimum relative distance from the wall surface by wall mounting. Therefore, it is useful as various blower devices used for the purpose of stirring indoor air for houses.
