Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved structure of an intake/exhaust ventilation fan that simultaneously ventilates an intake air flow and an exhaust air flow.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, an air conditioning ventilation fan having a structure shown in FIG. 1 has been proposed. To briefly explain this structure, 1 is an outer frame, and this outer frame is composed of a front case 1a for housing a rotary heat exchanger 2, and a main body case 1b for housing a fan. The following items are stored in the main body case 1b. That is, reference numeral 3 denotes a motor mounting frame that partitions the center of the main body case 1b into upper and lower parts, and a motor 4 for driving a fan is mounted in the center. 5 and 6 are fans attached to the rotating shaft of the motor 4 having a double-shaft structure; 7 and 8 are spiral cases that cover the respective fans 5 and 6; 9 and 10
are the intake and exhaust ports on the outdoor side. In addition, 11 is an air intake/exhaust port on the indoor side provided in the front case 1a;
is a filter attached to the inside of the intake/exhaust port 11. With this configuration, when the motor 4 starts operating, outside air is sucked into the spiral case 7 through the intake port 9 as shown by arrow Spit out. At the same time, indoor air indicated by arrow Y, which is sucked into the spiral case 8 through the rotary heat exchanger 2 from the intake/exhaust port 11, is discharged to the outside from the discharge port 10. In this way, when the rotary heat exchanger 2 is slowly rotated, for example, in the Z direction, heat exchange is performed between the intake air flow X and the exhaust flow Y via the rotary heat exchanger 2.

Now, in an air conditioning ventilation fan having such a structure, a simultaneous intake/exhaust ventilation fan is incorporated, and the spiral cases 7 and 8 are made of sheet metal or a molded product of synthetic resin. In the case of the former method, it is necessary to create the spiral case by dividing it into several parts, such as the wind tunnel part or the flange part, and then assemble these parts by spot welding or caulking. Therefore, this method requires a large amount of man-hours to create the spiral case. Further, according to the latter method, there is a problem that the mold for molding the spiral case becomes extremely complicated. Furthermore, a spiral case made of sheet metal or synthetic resin easily transmits the vibrations of the motor or fan, and the spiral case itself also resonates due to the air flow. Alternatively, in addition to incorporating a reinforcing material, it is necessary to paste a sound absorbing material inside the main body case 1b. Further, according to the conventional structure, it is necessary to individually screw the shield plate 3 or the spiral cases 7, 8 to the main body case 1b, and a lot of time is consumed in the assembly work.

Therefore, the present invention is extremely easy to assemble,
Moreover, the present invention provides a suction/exhaust ventilation fan with an improved structure that generates less noise.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an intake/exhaust ventilation fan that can be constructed from a very small number of parts.

Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide an intake/exhaust ventilation fan having a structure that allows electrical components to be easily insulated from the outer frame.

That is, in the present invention, a motor with a fan connected to both shafts and a motor mounting frame with other electrical components attached are sandwiched between spiral cases from both sides, and the combination product of the spiral case and motor mounting frame is placed inside the main body case. This will constitute a built-in intake/exhaust ventilation fan.

Furthermore, specifically, the spiral case is made of a foamable synthetic resin material that transmits less vibration, is lightweight, and is easy to mold.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an air conditioning ventilation fan embodying the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view thereof. To explain this, 1 is a box-shaped outer frame consisting of a front case 1a and a main body case 1b, 13 is a power plug for supplying electricity to the internal motor, and 14 is a switch for starting and stopping the motor. The pull cord 15 is a pilot lamp that indicates the operating status of the air conditioning ventilation fan. Reference numeral 11 indicates an indoor air intake/exhaust port provided in the front case 1a. Next, the internal structure of the air conditioning ventilation fan will be simply explained with reference to FIG. First, inside the main body case 1b is the first spiral case 1.
6, a motor mounting frame 17, an intermediate case 18, and a second spiral case 19 are stacked and housed. Further, a motor 20 and a gear motor 21 having a double-shaft structure are attached to the motor mounting frame 17. Furthermore, a first fan 21 for intake and a second fan 22 for exhaust are attached to the shaft ends of the motor 20, respectively, and a rotor case 23 and a rotary heat exchanger 2 are housed in the front case 1a. The rotary heat exchanger 2 is connected to a gear motor 21 . Further, a first filter 24 is arranged on the back side of the rotary heat exchanger 2, and a second filter 25 is arranged on the front side. Further, air seals 26 and 27 are arranged on the back and front sides of the rotary heat exchanger 2 to partition the two air flows X and Y passing through the rotary heat exchanger 2. With this configuration, when the motor 20 and the gear motor 21 start operating, the rotary heat exchanger 2 begins to rotate slowly in the direction of arrow Z. Due to the rotation of the first fan 21, outside air is sucked into the first spiral case 16 through the intake port 9 opened on the back side of the main body case 1b, and is then passed through the first filter 24, the rotary heat exchanger 2, and the second filter. 25, it is led into the room as shown by the arrow X through the intake and exhaust ports 11 opened in the front of the front case 1a. At the same time, due to the rotation of the second fan 22, indoor air is sucked into the second spiral case 19 through the intake/exhaust port 11 of the front case 1a, the second filter 25, and the rotary heat exchanger 2. As shown in the main body case 1b
It is sucked out from the exhaust port 10 opened on the back side of the machine. If this operation continues, heat exchange can be performed between the intake air flow X and the exhaust air flow Y through the rotary heat exchanger 2, and the burden on the indoor air conditioning equipment will be reduced. be able to.

Next, the detailed structure of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG. 4 and subsequent drawings. Figure 4 shows main case 1
FIG. 3 is a partial assembly diagram seen from the back side of the main body case 1b in order to explain the relationship between the respective components assembled in the main body case 1b. That is, the main body case 1b has a box-like structure with the front side open, and a large number of ventilation holes 29 are formed in the back side 28. The upper half of the ventilation holes 29 provided on the back surface 28 are used as intake ports for outside air, and the lower half are used as exhaust ports for indoor air. Further, a flange 31 is provided in the opening 30 on the front surface of the main body case 1b for connection with the front case 1a. The motor mounting frame 17 is attached to the first spiral case 1 in the box-shaped main body case 1b configured as described above.
6, the intermediate case 18, and the second spiral case 19 are stacked together to form the main case 1b.
The main body case 1b is inserted into the main body case 1b through the opening 30 of the main body case 1b. To explain further, reference numeral 17 is a motor mounting frame formed by bending one side of a plate material and forming an L-shaped cross section, and the motor 20 is mounted so that one side is bent and the main body of the motor 20 is placed on the side facing the bent part 17a. It is attached almost to the center of the frame 17. Further, at this time, the longer shaft of the motor 20 is arranged on the side toward which the bent portion 17a is directed, and conversely, the shorter shaft is arranged on the side toward which the bent portion 17a is not directed. Further, a gear motor 21 for driving the rotary heat exchanger 2 is attached to the center of the bent portion 17a so that the output shaft is disposed toward the outside of the motor mounting frame 17. Further, although not shown in the drawings, a phase advancing capacitor for driving the motor 20 and other electrical components can be attached to the motor mounting frame 17. Reference numeral 18 denotes an intermediate case that has a U-shape as a whole, and the opening 18
It is arranged with the a side facing inside the bent portion 17a. The thickness T of this intermediate case is the bent portion 17a.
The height is equal to or slightly thicker than the inner height t.

Next, the structure of the first spiral case 16 is
This will be explained with reference to FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the first spiral case 16, Fig. 6 is a four-sided view seen from the directions of arrows A, B, C, and D drawn in Fig. 5, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the first spiral case 16. Part and F-
It is a sectional view showing F part. That is, a spiral space 32 is provided at the center of the front surface 16c of the first spiral case 16, and a ventilation passage 33 communicating with the back surface 16a is provided at the center of this spiral space 32. 1st spiral case 1
A discharge port 34 connected to the spiral space 32 is provided on the side surface 16d of 6, and a space 34 on the back side of the spiral space 32 is provided on the side surface 16b corresponding to the side surface 16d.
A suction port 36 connected to 5 is provided. Continuing the explanation further, the height h of the spiral space 32 is configured to be smaller than the thickness H of the first spiral case 16, so that a back space 35 is created on the back surface 16a side of the first spiral case 16. . Furthermore, by configuring the partition wall 38 that partitions the spiral space 32 to have an appropriate thickness, the space 35 on the back side of the spiral space 32 is widened, and the back side passage 37 is made sufficiently large. Further, the second spiral case 19 is constructed by rotating the first spiral case 16 by 180 degrees about the spiral axis l. That is, the first spiral case 16 and the second spiral case 19 are exactly the same part, except that they are rotated 180 degrees along the spiral axis l.

The procedure for assembling the main body case 1a constructed in this way will be explained with reference to FIG. 4. First, the motor 20 and the gear motor 21 are attached to the motor attachment frame 17, and then the first fan 21 is attached to the short shaft end of the motor 20. Next, motor mounting plate 17
Stack the first spiral case 16 and the intermediate case 18 so as to sandwich them between them. Next, a second spiral case 19 is stacked further outside the intermediate case 18, and a second fan 22 is attached to the long shaft end of the motor 20. This first fan 21 and the second
The fans 22 are exactly the same fan except that the mounting direction is different. Finally, the parts thus sandwiched and stacked are placed into the main body case 1b through the opening 30 of the main body case 1b to complete the main body case 1b side.

Next, explanation will be added with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the main body case 1b viewed from the opening 30 side, and FIG. 9 is a partially assembled diagram of the front case portion viewed from the back side. In other words, after storing the spiral case etc. in the main case 1b, the main case 1
The first filter 2 is installed inside the flange 31 of b.
4, and air seals 26a, 26b are arranged. That is, the first filter 24 is fixed within the flange 31 so as to cover the discharge port 34 of the first spiral case 16. Also, air seal 2
6a and 26b have a conventionally known structure in consideration of the rotational direction of the rotary heat exchanger 2, and are attached to the bent portion 17a of the motor mounting frame 17.
Next, the rotor case 23 is placed inside the flange 31. This rotor case 23 has a rotor housing part 39 which is hollowed out in the center in a cylindrical shape, and inside the rotor housing part 39, the side surface of the rotary heat exchanger 2 disposed here is partitioned into upper and lower parts, which is conventionally known. Air seals 40 and 41 having the following structure are installed. Next, a conventionally known rotary heat exchanger 2 made of wrapped paper, cardboard, or pulp material is placed in the rotor housing 39 and connected to the shaft 42 of the gear motor 21 . Next, rotor case 23
A second filter 25 is placed on the front side of the rotor case 23, and finally the front case 1a is placed over the rotor case 23, and the front case 1a is fixed to the flange 31 of the main body case 1b to complete the assembly of the air conditioning ventilation fan. Incidentally, the front surface of the front case 1a is provided with intake/exhaust ports 11 by a large number of ventilation holes 43, and the upper part above the center is used as an outlet for outside air, and the part below the center is used as an inlet for indoor air. Further, an air seal having a conventionally known structure may be disposed inside the second filter 25 so as to face the end face of the rotary heat exchanger 2, so that the intake and exhaust flow paths can be completely partitioned into two.

In the embodiments described above, it is advantageous that the first spiral case 16, intermediate case 18, second spiral case 19, and rotor case 23 are made of foamable synthetic resin material. When using a foamable synthetic resin material, the first spiral case 16,
It is convenient to configure the motor mounting frame 17, the intermediate case 18, and the second spiral case 19 so that the total dimension when stacked naturally is slightly larger than the inner dimension of the main body case 1b that houses them. That is, since the foamable synthetic resin material has some elasticity, this elasticity allows the motor mounting frame 17 held in the center to be reliably held within the main body case 1b. Also, at this time, as shown in FIG. 10, the first and second spiral cases 1
If the corners of the front surface 16c or the back surface 16a of 6, 19 are cut down to provide a tapered surface 44, this part becomes particularly easy to elastically deform, and the main body case 1
a, motor mounting frame 17, intermediate case 18, first
The second spiral cases 16 and 19 are more reliably brought into close contact with each other, and the overall air seal condition is improved. In addition, if the ends are configured in a tapered shape in this way, the stacked first and second spiral cases 1
6 and 19 can be more easily inserted into the main body case 1b.

Furthermore, the bent portion 17a of the motor mounting frame 17
When fixed to the flange 31 of the main body case 1b,
It is possible to prevent the first and second spiral cases 16, 19, etc. from coming off.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the rotary heat exchanger 2
A rotary total heat exchanger can be used as
In addition to this, a conventionally known cross-flow type heat exchanger or heat pipe type heat exchanger is installed in the first and second spiral cases 16 and 19 disposed in the opening 30 of the main body case 1b. It can be arranged astride the mouth 24 and the suction port 36.

In the above explanation, the first spiral case 16
is rotated 180° to form a second spiral case 19,
Although an example in which this spiral case and the intermediate case 18 are combined has been described, the present invention can also prepare two types of spiral cases without using the intermediate case to construct an air conditioning ventilation fan. The second spiral case 45 used in such an example is briefly shown in FIGS. 11 and 12. That is, in this example, the thickness H 2 of the second spiral case 45 is the same as the thickness H ₂ of the second spiral case 19 described above.
It is selected to be thicker than the thickness H by the height of the motor 20 (thickness of the intermediate case 18 described earlier). With this configuration, the motor mounting frame 17 can be sandwiched between the first spiral case 16 and the second spiral case 45 and assembled into the main body case 1b. According to this embodiment, the air conditioning ventilation fan can be assembled more easily. In any case, the air conditioning ventilation fan can be constructed with the same number of parts as in the previously described embodiments.

Next, an embodiment in which the present invention is further improved will be described with reference to FIGS. 13 and 14. In this example, a leak suppression plate 46 is provided on the plate surface of the motor mounting frame 17 that extends in a direction perpendicular to this plate surface, and by increasing the creepage distance of the plate surface of the motor mounting frame 17, the intake air flow and the exhaust air flow through the plate surface. This is to prevent them from mixing with each other. That is, the leak suppression plate 46 is sequentially attached to the plate surface of the motor mounting frame 17 by welding or the like, using plates of appropriate height. At this time, the leak suppression plate 46 needs to be placed avoiding the spiral space 32 of the spiral case 16.
In addition, the first
The spiral case 16 and the second spiral case 45 have grooves 4 that engage with the leak suppression plate 46.
7 will be provided. In this way, when the height of the leak suppression plate 46 and the depth of the groove 47 are appropriately selected and stacked and assembled as shown in FIG. Part of the exhaust flow will no longer leak out and mix together. Specifically, spiral case 1
6 and 45 are made of a foamable synthetic resin material, since the elastic deformation of the spiral cases 16 and 45 can be used to assemble them, the height of the leak suppression plate 46 is set slightly higher than the depth of the groove 47. It's good to choose. In this way, the seal between the motor mounting frame 17 and the spiral cases 16, 45 is perfected because the tip of the leak suppression plate 46 and the bottom of the groove 47 come into close contact.

In this way, by providing the leak suppression plate 46 extending perpendicularly to the plate surface of the motor mounting frame 17, not only the sealing effect is improved, but also the motor mounting frame 17 and the spiral case 16, 45, it becomes easier to align each other or to hold semi-assembled products. In addition, in the embodiment, the two spiral cases 16 and 45 constitute an air conditioning ventilation fan.
This can be similarly implemented for an air conditioning ventilation fan using the intermediate case 18 described above. Naturally, in this case, the motor mounting frame 17 of the intermediate case 18
A groove 47 that engages with the leak suppressing plate 46 is provided on the surface facing the leak suppressing plate 46 .

Next, still another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. This embodiment is based on the external dimensions of the spiral cases 16 and 24.
The outer dimensions of 7 are made smaller, and the motor mounting frame 17 is
This prevents the main body case from coming into contact with the main body case.
That is, FIG. 15 is a sectional view showing the assembled structure of the main body case 1b side, and FIG.
FIG. 3 is an exploded view of the parts. In this way, the second
An outer wall 48 is left on the outer periphery of the spiral case 24 on the motor mounting frame 17 side, a notch 49 is provided on the inner periphery, the motor mounting frame 17 is placed within this notch 49, and the motor is mounted on this. A convex portion 51 formed by cutting out the outer peripheral portion of the frame 17 side and providing a notch portion 50 is attached to the spiral case 2.
The first spiral cases 16 are stacked so as to be engaged with the notches 49 of No. 4. When the main body case 1b side is assembled in this way, the motor mounting frame 17 is attached to the first and second spiral cases 16, 24.
It can be inserted into the main body case 1b after completely surrounding it. Therefore, the first and second
When the spiral cases 16 and 24 are made of a foamable synthetic resin material, electric shock accidents can be prevented without arcing the main body, since the foamable synthetic resin material is usually an insulator.

Figures 15 and 16 show an air conditioning ventilation fan in a first spiral case 16 and a second spiral case 2.
4 has been shown, but this can be implemented in the same way when using the intermediate case 18 described earlier. In this case, the first
The spiral case 16 and the intermediate case 18 surround and sandwich the motor mounting frame 17.
Various notches are provided on the outer peripheries of the opposing first spiral case 16 and intermediate case 18 so as to leave outer walls.

In the embodiment described above, a weather cover 52 can be attached to the intake port 9 and the exhaust port of the main body case 1b of the air conditioning ventilation fan to prevent rain and snow from entering, as shown in FIG. In addition, the first spiral case 16, the motor mounting frame 17,
In order to easily assemble the intermediate case 18 and the second spiral case 19 or 24, a protrusion, a through hole for passing the protrusion, or a recess for engaging the protrusion is provided on the stacked surface of each component. It can be placed in

As is clear from the above description, the present invention has a structure in which a motor mounting frame to which an electric component such as a motor is mounted is sandwiched between a spiral case and housed within the main body case. Therefore,
According to the present invention, since the motor mounting frame is supported within the main body case by the spiral cases, supporting the motor mounting frame becomes extremely simple.

In particular, if the spiral case is made of a foamable synthetic resin material, the foamable synthetic resin material can be processed extremely easily using a mold, and is lightweight and vibration-proof.
It also has a great soundproofing effect. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a suction/exhaust ventilation fan that is lightweight and easy to install. In addition, since the foamed synthetic resin material has a certain degree of elasticity, when the parts to be stored inside the main case are stacked naturally, the thickness of the stack is slightly larger than the internal dimensions of the main case. If the dimensions of the case are selected, the motor mounting frame interposed therebetween can be positioned and fixed by utilizing the elasticity of the foamable synthetic resin material. Therefore, attachment of the motor attachment frame to the main body case becomes extremely simple, and in some cases, other fixing means such as screws can be omitted. Further, due to the elasticity of the foamable synthetic resin material, the vibration of the motor or the noise of the fan is difficult to be transmitted to the outside (outside the main body case), making it possible to obtain a low-noise suction/exhaust ventilation fan.
