Description

本発明は、室内ユニットの空気吸込口に設けられたエアフィルタを自動的に清掃する機能を備えた空気調和機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to an air conditioner having a function of automatically cleaning an air filter provided in an air suction port of an indoor unit.

従来の空気調和機は、図２８及び図２９に示すように、熱交換器１１の前面に、本体１３の内部へ塵埃が侵入することを防ぐためのエアフィルタ６が設けられており、このエアフィルタ６は、付着した塵埃を手で清掃できるように着脱自在に構成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the conventional air conditioner is provided with an air filter 6 on the front surface of the heat exchanger 11 for preventing dust from entering the inside of the main body 13. The filter 6 is configured to be detachable so that attached dust can be cleaned by hand.

また、エアフィルタの清掃を容易にした空気調和機として、回転ブラシと、回転ブラシを回転自在に支持すると共にそれを覆うブラシカバーと、回転ブラシと同軸に設けられたピニオンからなるフィルタブラシを備え、電気掃除機の吸引ノズルをブラシカバーに設けた吸引口に接続し、エアフィルタ上を移動させて、エアフィルタに堆積した塵埃を回転ブラシでかきとりながら吸引するようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献１参照）。   In addition, as an air conditioner that facilitates cleaning of the air filter, a rotating brush, a brush cover that rotatably supports the rotating brush, and a filter brush that includes a pinion that is provided coaxially with the rotating brush are provided. The vacuum nozzle has a suction nozzle connected to a suction port provided in the brush cover, moved on the air filter, and sucks dust accumulated on the air filter while scraping with a rotating brush (for example, Patent Document 1).

また、捕集装置と、清浄装置と、吸込み機構と、吸込み機構に繋がる担持ビームと、担持ビームに接続されたホースと、真空発生器と、真空発生器の吸引側に配された分離器などで構成され、エアフィルタに付着した塵埃を自動的に吸引するとともに、その塵埃を分離器で捕集するようにしたものも提案されている（例えば、特許文献２参照）。   Also, a collection device, a cleaning device, a suction mechanism, a carrier beam connected to the suction mechanism, a hose connected to the carrier beam, a vacuum generator, a separator disposed on the suction side of the vacuum generator, etc. There is also proposed an apparatus that automatically sucks dust adhering to an air filter and collects the dust with a separator (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

さらに、ベルト状のエアフィルタを張設した駆動軸及び従動軸と、駆動軸を駆動するサーボモータと、ブラシと、排気管に配設された塵埃センサー及びファンと、エアフィルタの連続使用時間を算出する演算処理手段と、制御手段とを備え、ベルト状のエアフィルタを回転させながらブラシで塵埃を除去するようにしたものもある（例えば、特許文献３参照）。
特開平１１−２２６３３１号公報（第２頁、図１〜４） 特開平１−７５０２０号公報（第１〜９頁、第４図） 特開平６−７４５２１号公報（第２頁、図１） Furthermore, the drive shaft and driven shaft with belt-shaped air filters stretched, the servo motor that drives the drive shaft, the brush, the dust sensor and fan disposed in the exhaust pipe, and the continuous use time of the air filter. There is a calculation processing means for calculating and a control means for removing dust with a brush while rotating a belt-like air filter (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
JP-A-11-226331 (second page, FIGS. 1 to 4) JP-A-1-75020 (pages 1-9, FIG. 4) JP-A-6-74521 (second page, FIG. 1)

しかしながら、着脱式のエアフィルタを備えた従来の空気調和機では、空気調和機の使用頻度に応じて空気調和機よりエアフィルタを取り外し、水洗いもしくは掃除機などで付着した塵埃を掃除するというメンテナンスを定期的にする必要があり面倒であった。そして周期的なメンテナンスが成されなかった場合、エアフィルタに塵埃が堆積し吸込み空気の通気抵抗が増大することから空気調和機の性能が低下したり消費電力が増大するという課題があった。   However, in a conventional air conditioner equipped with a detachable air filter, maintenance is performed such that the air filter is removed from the air conditioner according to the frequency of use of the air conditioner, and dust adhered to it is washed with water or a vacuum cleaner. It was necessary to do regularly and was troublesome. If periodic maintenance is not performed, dust accumulates on the air filter and the ventilation resistance of the intake air increases, which causes problems such as a decrease in performance of the air conditioner and an increase in power consumption.

また、特許文献１に開示されたものでは、エアフィルタを清掃する都度電気掃除機を取りだし、その吸引ノズルをブラシカバーの吸引口に接続し、エアフィルタ上を移動させなければならず、非常に手間と時間を要するという問題があった。   Moreover, in what was disclosed by patent document 1, every time the air filter is cleaned, a vacuum cleaner is taken out, the suction nozzle must be connected to the suction port of the brush cover, and moved on the air filter. There was a problem that it took time and effort.

また、特許文献２に記載されたフィルタ装置の場合、エアフィルタに付いた塵埃は自動的に吸引されるが、その吸引された塵埃は分離器に捕集されるので、定期的に分離器に堆積した塵埃を取り除いて処理する必要があり、面倒であると共に、それを怠ると、エアフィルタに付いた塵埃が除去されなくなり、吸込み空気の通気抵抗が増大して空気調和機の性能が低下したり、消費電力も増大するという課題があった。   Further, in the case of the filter device described in Patent Document 2, dust attached to the air filter is automatically sucked, but the sucked dust is collected by the separator. It is necessary to remove the accumulated dust, and it is troublesome. If it is neglected, the dust attached to the air filter will not be removed, the ventilation resistance of the intake air will increase and the performance of the air conditioner will deteriorate. There is also a problem that power consumption increases.

さらに、特許文献３に開示された空気調和機の場合、エアフィルタの全幅と略同じ長さの長尺のブラシが必要となり、また、エアフィルタがベルト状になっているため厚みが増大し、本体の奥行きサイズが大きくなるという課題があった。   Furthermore, in the case of the air conditioner disclosed in Patent Document 3, a long brush having substantially the same length as the entire width of the air filter is required, and the thickness is increased because the air filter has a belt shape. There was a problem that the depth size of the main body was increased.

本発明は、従来技術の有するこのような問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、少ない吸引力で効率的に吸塵することができ、エアフィルタの清掃、メンテナンスが極めて容易なエアフィルタの自動清掃機能付き室内ユニットを備えた空気調和機を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the prior art, and can automatically absorb dust with a small suction force, and the air filter can be cleaned and maintained easily. It aims at providing the air conditioner provided with the indoor unit with a function.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明は、熱交換器と該熱交換器で熱交換された空気を室内に吹き出すファンとを本体に収容した室内ユニットを有する空気調和機であって、前記熱交換器の上流側の前記本体に取り付けられたエアフィルタと、該エアフィルタに対向する吸入口を有しエアフィルタに付着した塵埃を吸入するための摺動自在の吸入ノズルと、該吸入ノズルに連通し空気と共に塵埃を吸引排気する吸引排気装置とを備えたことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an air conditioner having an indoor unit in which a heat exchanger and a fan that blows out air heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger into a room are housed in a main body, An air filter attached to the main body upstream of the container, a slidable suction nozzle having a suction port facing the air filter, for sucking dust adhering to the air filter, and communicating with the suction nozzle And a suction exhaust device for sucking and exhausting dust together with air.

この構成により、エアフィルタの清掃を自動的に確実に行うことができ、空気調和機の性能維持あるいは消費電力の増大防止を図ることができる。   With this configuration, the air filter can be automatically and reliably cleaned, and the performance of the air conditioner can be maintained or the increase in power consumption can be prevented.

また、吸引排気装置に一端が連結され、他端が室外に開口した排気ダクトを設け、吸引ノズルで吸引した塵埃を排気ダクトを介して空気とともに室外に排出すると、室内空気を常にクリーンな状態に維持することができる。   In addition, an exhaust duct with one end connected to the suction exhaust system and the other end opened to the outside of the room is provided, and if the dust sucked by the suction nozzle is discharged together with air through the exhaust duct, the room air is always kept clean. Can be maintained.

さらに、吸入ノズルの吸入口に隣接してブラシを設けると、小さい吸引力で確実に吸塵することができる。また、エアフィルタを挟んで吸引ノズルの吸入口に対向し吸入ノズルとともに摺動する当て板を設けたり、この当て板にエアフィルタの裏面に接するブラシを設けても同様な効果を奏する。   Furthermore, if a brush is provided adjacent to the suction port of the suction nozzle, dust can be reliably sucked with a small suction force. A similar effect can be obtained by providing a contact plate that faces the suction port of the suction nozzle with the air filter interposed therebetween and slides with the suction nozzle, or a brush that is in contact with the back surface of the air filter.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

実施の形態１．
図１乃至図３は本発明の実施の形態１にかかる空気調和機の室内ユニットを示しており、図１は室内ユニットの正面図、図２及び図３はそれぞれ図１における線Ｉ−Ｉ及び線II−IIに沿った断面図である。また、図４及び図５はそれぞれ室内ユニットに設けられたフィルタ装置の斜視図及び分解斜視図で、図６Ａ及び図６Ｂはフィルタ装置に設けられた吸入ノズルの外観を示す側面図と正面図である。 Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 to 3 show an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view of the indoor unit, and FIGS. 2 and 3 are lines I-I and FIG. It is sectional drawing along line II-II. 4 and 5 are a perspective view and an exploded perspective view, respectively, of the filter device provided in the indoor unit, and FIGS. 6A and 6B are a side view and a front view showing the appearance of the suction nozzle provided in the filter device. is there.

室内ユニット本体１３の内部には、熱交換器１１と、熱交換器１１を通して室内空気を取り入れ、熱交換器１１で熱交換された空気を室内に吹き出すためのファン１２と、熱交換器１１の上流側に配設されたフィルタ装置１とが収容されており、本体１３の前面から上面に渡り形成された複数の吸込口（図示せず）からファン１２の動作により空気が吸い込まれ、空気中に漂う塵埃は、吸込口と熱交換器１１との間に設けられたフィルタ装置１により取り除かれる。   Inside the indoor unit body 13, a heat exchanger 11, a fan 12 for taking in indoor air through the heat exchanger 11, and blowing out the air heat-exchanged in the heat exchanger 11 into the room, The filter device 1 disposed on the upstream side is accommodated, and air is sucked in by the operation of the fan 12 from a plurality of suction ports (not shown) formed from the front surface of the main body 13 to the upper surface. The dust drifting in is removed by the filter device 1 provided between the suction port and the heat exchanger 11.

このフィルタ装置１は、フィルタ枠２と、フィルタ枠２に取り付けられたエアフィルタ６と、エアフィルタ６の上流側の面に沿って左右方向（水平方向：矢印Ａ）に摺動自在の吸入ノズル５と、フィルタ枠２の一側（本実施の形態では下端）の本体１３に取り付けられるとともに吸入ノズル５の一端が気密を保ちながら摺動自在に接続された吸い込みダクト３と、吸い込みダクト３に連結され空気と共に塵埃を吸引、排気する吸引排気装置７と、一端が吸引排気装置７に連結され、他端が室外に開口した排気ダクト８を備えている。   This filter device 1 includes a filter frame 2, an air filter 6 attached to the filter frame 2, and a suction nozzle slidable in the left-right direction (horizontal direction: arrow A) along the upstream surface of the air filter 6. 5, a suction duct 3 attached to the body 13 on one side (lower end in the present embodiment) of the filter frame 2 and one end of the suction nozzle 5 being slidably connected while being airtight, and a suction duct 3 A suction exhaust device 7 is connected to suck and exhaust dust together with air, and an exhaust duct 8 is connected to the suction exhaust device 7 at one end and opened to the outside at the other end.

吸入ノズル５は、図６Ａ及び図６Ｂに示すように、中間部が屈曲した縦長に形成されて垂直方向に延び、エアフィルタ６に面する側にスリット状の吸入口５ａが設けられている。   As shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, the suction nozzle 5 is formed in a vertically long shape with an intermediate portion bent and extends in the vertical direction, and a slit-like suction port 5 a is provided on the side facing the air filter 6.

吸入ノズル５を左右に摺動させる駆動手段は、吸入ノズル５の吸い込みダクト３側に連結された駆動用ワイヤ９と、駆動用ワイヤ９を駆動するための駆動モータ１０とで構成されている。   The drive means for sliding the suction nozzle 5 to the left and right includes a drive wire 9 connected to the suction duct 3 side of the suction nozzle 5 and a drive motor 10 for driving the drive wire 9.

なお、図４及び図５に示されるエアフィルタ６はフィルタ枠２に着脱自在に取り付けられているが、フィルタ枠２は本体１３の一部であってもよく、エアフィルタ６を本体１３に固定し、着脱できない構成にすることもできる。   The air filter 6 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is detachably attached to the filter frame 2, but the filter frame 2 may be a part of the main body 13, and the air filter 6 is fixed to the main body 13. However, it is also possible to adopt a configuration that cannot be detached.

図７はエアフィルタ６を示しており、凹凸が少なく編成されたネット６ａを用いて構成するとともに、吸入ノズル５に設けた吸入口５ａが対面し、塵埃が付着する表面側をネット６ａとネット枠６ｂとの段差が付かないように形成している。   FIG. 7 shows an air filter 6 which is configured by using a net 6a knitted with few irregularities, and the suction port 5a provided in the suction nozzle 5 faces and the surface side to which dust adheres is connected to the net 6a and the net. It is formed so as not to have a step with the frame 6b.

このように構成されたフィルタ装置１の動作について説明する。   The operation of the filter device 1 configured as described above will be described.

空気調和機本体１３の運転停止後に、吸引排気装置７が運転開始し、吸い込みダクト３に設置された吸入ノズル５に設けた吸入口５ａから空気を吸い込み始める。そして、エアフィルタ６の片側端に位置していた吸入ノズル５が、駆動モータ１０に連結された駆動用ワイヤ９によって、図４及び図５に示すように矢印Ａの方向に移動し、エアフィルタ６の表面に付着した塵埃を吸入ノズル５に設けた吸入口５ａから吸入し、塵埃は吸い込みダクト３、吸引排気装置７を通り、排気ダクト８から室外へ排出される。   After the operation of the air conditioner body 13 is stopped, the suction / exhaust device 7 starts to operate, and starts to suck air from the suction port 5 a provided in the suction nozzle 5 installed in the suction duct 3. Then, the suction nozzle 5 located at one end of the air filter 6 is moved in the direction of arrow A as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 by the drive wire 9 connected to the drive motor 10, and the air filter Dust adhering to the surface of 6 is sucked from the suction port 5a provided in the suction nozzle 5, and the dust passes through the suction duct 3 and the suction exhaust device 7 and is discharged from the exhaust duct 8 to the outside.

ここで、吸入ノズル５がエアフィルタ６の表面を全面清掃し、反対側の端部まで移動したときに駆動モータ１０は逆回転し、吸入ノズル５は初期の位置に戻る方向に移動して、再度エアフィルタ６の表面を清掃することが可能となる。   Here, when the suction nozzle 5 cleans the entire surface of the air filter 6 and moves to the opposite end, the drive motor 10 rotates in the reverse direction, and the suction nozzle 5 moves in a direction to return to the initial position, It becomes possible to clean the surface of the air filter 6 again.

また、塵埃が付着する表面をフラットに構成したエアフィルタ６を用いることで、吸入ノズル５により塵埃を吸い取り易くすることができ、より確実に清掃を行うことができる。   Further, by using the air filter 6 having a flat surface to which dust adheres, the suction nozzle 5 can easily absorb dust, and cleaning can be performed more reliably.

なお、エアフィルタ６を本体１３に着脱自在に取り付けた場合、吸入ノズル５の吸引清掃動作では除去できなかった塵埃、油などを容易に清掃することができる。   When the air filter 6 is detachably attached to the main body 13, dust, oil, etc. that could not be removed by the suction cleaning operation of the suction nozzle 5 can be easily cleaned.

図８Ａ及び図８Ｂは吸入ノズル５の変形例を示しており、吸入ノズル５に平行に延びる複数（例えば、２列）の吸入口５ａを所定の間隔で形成するとともに、吸入口５ａに隣接するブラシ５ｂを設けたものである。   8A and 8B show a modification of the suction nozzle 5, and a plurality of (for example, two rows) suction ports 5a extending in parallel to the suction nozzle 5 are formed at predetermined intervals and adjacent to the suction ports 5a. A brush 5b is provided.

この吸入ノズル５を使用すると、フィルタ装置１の動作時に吸入ノズル５が、駆動モータ１０に連結された駆動用ワイヤ９によって矢印Ａ方向に移動し、吸入ノズル５のブラシ５ｂがエアフィルタ６の表面に付着した埃を掻き出しながら複数列の吸入口５ａから吸入し、塵埃は吸い込みダクト３、吸引排気装置７を通り、排気ダクト８から室外へ排出される。   When this suction nozzle 5 is used, the suction nozzle 5 is moved in the direction of arrow A by the drive wire 9 connected to the drive motor 10 during the operation of the filter device 1, and the brush 5 b of the suction nozzle 5 is moved to the surface of the air filter 6. The dust adhering to the air is sucked in from a plurality of rows of the suction ports 5a while passing through the suction duct 3 and the suction / exhaust device 7 and discharged from the exhaust duct 8 to the outside.

吸入口５ａに隣接するブラシ５ｂを設けることで、小さい吸引力で確実に吸塵することができる。   By providing the brush 5b adjacent to the suction port 5a, it is possible to reliably absorb dust with a small suction force.

なお、上記実施の形態において、空気調和機本体１３の運転停止後に吸引排気装置７が運転を開始するようにしたが、空気調和機本体１３の運転前あるいは運転中に吸引排気装置７を運転するようにしてもよい。   In the above embodiment, the suction / exhaust device 7 starts operation after the operation of the air conditioner body 13 is stopped. However, the suction / exhaust device 7 is operated before or during the operation of the air conditioner body 13. You may do it.

また、上記実施の形態において、吸引排気装置７に排気ダクト８を接続し、吸引排気装置７で吸引した塵埃を空気とともに室外に排出するようにしたが、排気ダクト８は必ずしも設ける必要はない。この場合、吸引排気装置７に集塵ネットを有する着脱自在の集塵ケースを設け、吸引排気装置７で吸引した塵埃を集塵ネットで捕集する一方、塵埃とともに吸引された空気を吸引排気装置７より排出すればよく、集塵ネットで捕集した塵埃は集塵ケースを吸引排気装置７より取り外すことにより除去することができる。   In the above embodiment, the exhaust duct 8 is connected to the suction / exhaust device 7 and the dust sucked by the suction / exhaust device 7 is discharged together with the air to the outside. However, the exhaust duct 8 is not necessarily provided. In this case, the suction / exhaust device 7 is provided with a removable dust collection case having a dust collection net, and dust sucked by the suction / exhaust device 7 is collected by the dust collection net, while air sucked together with the dust is sucked and exhausted. The dust collected by the dust collection net can be removed by removing the dust collection case from the suction exhaust device 7.

実施の形態２．
図９は本発明の実施の形態２にかかる空気調和機の室内ユニットに設けられたフィルタ装置１を示しており、エアフィルタ６を挟んでノズル５の吸入口５ａに対向する縦長状の当て板１４を設けた点において上述した実施の形態１と相違している。 Embodiment 2. FIG.
FIG. 9 shows a filter device 1 provided in an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to a second embodiment of the present invention. A vertically long contact plate facing the suction port 5a of the nozzle 5 with the air filter 6 interposed therebetween. 14 is different from the first embodiment described above.

図１０及び図１１に示すように、当て板１４の上下端部は、吸入ノズル５の上端部５ｂ及び下端部５ｃにそれぞれ接続され、吸入ノズル５と一体的に形成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the upper and lower ends of the contact plate 14 are connected to the upper end 5 b and the lower end 5 c of the suction nozzle 5, respectively, and are formed integrally with the suction nozzle 5.

本実施の形態においては、エアフィルタ６の裏面側のノズル吸入口５ａに対向する位置に当て板１４を設けたことにより、吸入ノズル５の左右方向の移動時に、当て板１４も一緒に移動しながら吸入口５ａから余分な空気が吸引されることがないので、小さい吸引力でエアフィルタ６に付着した塵埃を確実に吸塵することができる。   In the present embodiment, by providing the contact plate 14 at a position facing the nozzle suction port 5a on the back surface side of the air filter 6, the contact plate 14 also moves together when the suction nozzle 5 moves in the left-right direction. However, since excess air is not sucked from the suction port 5a, dust attached to the air filter 6 can be reliably sucked with a small suction force.

また、当て板１４の上下端部が吸入ノズル５の上端部５ｂと下端部５ｃにそれぞれ取り付けられているので、当て板１４と吸入口５ａの位置関係が安定し、吸引動作の安定化を図ることができる。   Further, since the upper and lower end portions of the contact plate 14 are respectively attached to the upper end portion 5b and the lower end portion 5c of the suction nozzle 5, the positional relationship between the contact plate 14 and the intake port 5a is stabilized, and the suction operation is stabilized. be able to.

なお、図１１に示すように、当て板１４とエアフィルタ６との隙間Ｂを常に１ｍｍ以下になるように設定すれば、洩れのない安定した吸塵を行うことができる。   As shown in FIG. 11, if the gap B between the contact plate 14 and the air filter 6 is always set to 1 mm or less, stable dust absorption without leakage can be performed.

図１２は、当て板１４の変形例を示しており、当て板１４の左右両縁部に傾斜面１４ａを設けたものである。断面形状をノズル吸入口５ａに向かって山形状に形成したことで、吸入ノズル５の移動時に当て板１４がエアフィルタ６に引っ掛るのを確実に防止でき、スムーズな移動、吸引動作を確保することができる。   FIG. 12 shows a modification of the backing plate 14, in which inclined surfaces 14 a are provided on both the left and right edges of the backing plate 14. By forming the cross-sectional shape in a mountain shape toward the nozzle suction port 5a, it is possible to reliably prevent the contact plate 14 from being caught by the air filter 6 when the suction nozzle 5 is moved, and to ensure smooth movement and suction operation. be able to.

また、図１３は、当て板１４の別の変形例を示しており、エアフィルタ６の裏面に接する当て板１４にブラシ１５を設けたもので、吸引しきれずにエアフィルタ６に残った塵埃をブラシ１５で掻き出すようにしている。   FIG. 13 shows another modification of the backing plate 14, in which a brush 15 is provided on the backing plate 14 in contact with the back surface of the air filter 6, and dust remaining in the air filter 6 without being completely sucked can be removed.

A gear 19 integrated with the cam 18 is rotatably attached to the attachment boss 5e with a screw 20. As shown in FIGS. 19A to 19C, a groove 18 a is formed in the cam 18, and a pin 17 a provided on the connector 17 is fitted.

吸引ノズル５は本体のエアフィルタ６の前面に設けたシャフト２１に取り付け孔５ｆとガイド５ｇにて左右方向に移動自在に取り付けられている。又、吸引ノズル５と接続具１７は伸縮自在のジャバラ２２にて接続されている。   The suction nozzle 5 is attached to a shaft 21 provided on the front surface of the air filter 6 of the main body so as to be movable in the left-right direction through an attachment hole 5f and a guide 5g. Further, the suction nozzle 5 and the connection tool 17 are connected by an expandable bellows 22.

本実施の形態においては、吸入ノズル５が間歇的に吸い込みダクト３と連通することから、図１５に示すように、吸引ノズル５のエアフィルタ６に対向する面は、上述した実施の形態１あるいは３よりも幅広に形成されている。   In the present embodiment, since the suction nozzle 5 is intermittently communicated with the suction duct 3, as shown in FIG. 15, the surface of the suction nozzle 5 facing the air filter 6 is the same as in the first embodiment or the above-described embodiment. It is formed wider than 3.

他の構成は上述した実施の形態１の構成と同じなので、その説明は省略する。   The other configuration is the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above, and a description thereof will be omitted.

上記の構成における空気の流れは以下のようになる。   The air flow in the above configuration is as follows.

図１６の位置に吸引ノズル５がある時、吸引ユニットが動作すると、エアフィルタ６に付着した塵埃と空気は、吸入口５ａを通過した後、吸引ノズル５と接続具１７をつなぐジャバラ２２を通過し、接続具１７に至る。この時、接続具１７はカム１８にて最下部に下がった状態になっており、接続具１７の先端で、開閉蓋１６を押し下げた状態で接続具１７と吸い込みダクト３と接続されており、空気と塵埃は吸引ユニットに導かれる。接続具１７の先端にはＯリング２４が有り空気の漏れを防止している。   When the suction unit 5 operates when the suction nozzle 5 is located in FIG. 16, the dust and air adhering to the air filter 6 pass through the bellows 22 that connects the suction nozzle 5 and the connector 17 after passing through the suction port 5a. To the connector 17. At this time, the connection tool 17 is in a state of being lowered to the bottom by the cam 18, and is connected to the connection tool 17 and the suction duct 3 with the opening / closing lid 16 being pushed down at the tip of the connection tool 17. Air and dust are guided to the suction unit. An O-ring 24 is provided at the tip of the connector 17 to prevent air leakage.

次に、一定時間経過すると吸引ユニットの吸引が停止し、図１７に示すようにタイミングベルト２３が矢印方向に移動を始めると同時に歯車１９がタイミングベルト２３にて回転し、歯車１９と一体となっているカム１８に設けた溝１８ａが接続具１７のピン１７ａを上方に移動させることにより、接続具１７は右に移動しながら上方に移動する。それに伴い開閉蓋１６は閉じ始める。歯車１９が９０度回転すると、接続具１７の上昇は停止し、歯車１９が更に回転することにより接続具１７は下降を始め、１８０度回転した時点では、接続具１７が次の開閉蓋１６ａを開き、吸引ノズル５と吸い込みダクト３を接続し次の吸引が始まる。   Next, when the fixed time has elapsed, the suction of the suction unit is stopped, and as shown in FIG. The groove 18a provided in the cam 18 moves the pin 17a of the connector 17 upward, so that the connector 17 moves upward while moving to the right. Accordingly, the opening / closing lid 16 starts to close. When the gear 19 rotates 90 degrees, the ascending of the connecting tool 17 stops, and when the gear 19 further rotates, the connecting tool 17 starts to descend, and when the gear 19 rotates 180 degrees, the connecting tool 17 opens the next opening / closing lid 16a. The suction nozzle 5 and the suction duct 3 are connected and the next suction starts.

以上のように、吸い込みダクトを筒状とし開閉蓋を有する接続口を設け、吸引ノズル５の接続具１７を吸い込みダクト３の開口部３ａに順次連通させて吸引ノズルを吸い込みダクトに接続するようにしたので、吸い込みダクトと吸引ノズルの接続が空気の漏れを生じることなく接続できるとともに、吸い込みダクトを筒状としたことで収納性を向上させることができる。また、塵埃を容易に取り除くことができ、空気調和機の性能低下防止にも寄与できる。   As described above, the suction duct has a cylindrical shape and a connection port having an open / close lid is provided, and the connection tool 17 of the suction nozzle 5 is sequentially communicated with the opening 3a of the suction duct 3 so that the suction nozzle is connected to the suction duct. Therefore, the suction duct and the suction nozzle can be connected without causing air leakage, and the storage property can be improved by making the suction duct cylindrical. Moreover, dust can be easily removed, and it can contribute to prevention of performance degradation of the air conditioner.
