Description

The present invention relates to an air conditioner in which a partition plate is erected around a desk in which an air conditioner is incorporated.

(B) Conventional Technology Conventionally, as this type of air conditioner, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-148034, a partition plate is set up (a standing wall is provided) around a desk in which an air conditioner is incorporated. , A cold air outlet was provided on the upper side of this partition plate.

Then, the cool air is discharged upward from the cool air outlet and then descends to cool the surroundings of the worker sitting on the chair and facing the desk, and the worker is less likely to feel a feeling of cold wind or uneven temperature. I am trying.

(C) Problem to be Solved by the Invention In such an air conditioner, in particular, since the cool air is discharged upward and then descends so as to impinge on the worker, a part of the cool air discharged upward is generated. , It may descend to the outside of the partition plate that stands around the desk. When a part of the cool air descends to the outside of the partition plate in this way, the amount of the cool air that is splashed on the operator decreases, and there is a risk that efficient operation cannot be performed.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an air conditioner with high operating efficiency by making it difficult for cold air discharged from an outlet to flow out of a desk.

(D) Means for Solving the Problem In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a partition member around the desk, and an eaves covering the desk is provided on the upper part of the partition member. A cool air outlet for discharging cool air to a space surrounded by the partition member is provided.

(E) Action The cold air discharged from the cold air outlet is collected in the space surrounded by the desk, the partition member and the eaves, and makes it difficult for the cold air to flow out of the desk.

(F) Embodiment In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a (personal) air conditioner, which is a desk 2 having a substantially arc (semicircle) shape and a partition curved along the edge of the desk. It is composed of a member 3, a footrest 4 arranged below the partition member 3, and an eaves 5 arranged above the partition member.

6 is a drawer, which is provided in the lower part on the left side of the desk. 7, 8 and 9 are blowout ports of an aroma generating unit (described later), and three blowout ports are provided. Numeral 10 is the operation part of this generator, and the left operation console 1 along the left edge of the desk 2 together with these three outlets 7, 8 and 9.
Located in 1. 12, 13 and 14 are aroma generators, three of which are housed in the lower left front part of the desk 2, respectively. And by operating the operation unit 10, the three aroma generators 12, 13, 14
Are driven individually. The three aroma generators 12, 13, and 14 are connected to respective outlets 7, 8, and 9. Where the first
Citrus (lemon-like) from the air outlet 7 of the aroma generator 12 of
, A floral (lily of the valley) scent from the outlet 8 of the second aroma generator 13, and a woody (cypress) aroma from the outlet 9 of the third aroma generator 14. It Therefore, when a worker who sits on the chair 15 and faces the desk 2 wants to create a refreshing atmosphere of citrus, the first fragrance generator 12 is operated to give the scent of citrus to the freshness of being in the forest. When you want to create an atmosphere, you can drive the third aroma generator 14 to create a woody scent, and when you want to create a peaceful atmosphere of a flower scent, the second aroma generator.
Drive 13 to generate individual floral scents,
The worker's mood can be relaxed. Here, the blowers (not shown) of the aroma generators 12, 13, 14 are repeatedly operated for 1 minute and then stopped for 3 minutes. This is because if the blowers of the aroma generators 12, 13, and 14 are constantly operated, the worker becomes chronic with respect to the aroma discharged from these aroma generators and the effect of the aroma is diminished.

Reference numeral 16 is an acoustic controller for adjusting acoustic equipment such as a television and a speaker (described later) incorporated in the personal air conditioner 1. 17 is an ashtray with a lid 18, which is designed to move in the direction of the solid arrow. The ashtray 17 and the sound controller 16 are also right operation consoles arranged along the right edge of the desk 2.
It is provided in 19.

Reference numeral 20 is an air conditioning controller arranged substantially in the center of the front of the eaves 5, and 21 is a lighting device (fluorescent lamp) arranged on both sides of the air conditioning controller. This eaves 5 is provided above the partition member 3,
This eaves 5 covers a part of the upper part of the desk 2.

And a radiant panel located between the footrest 4 of the desk 2
It consists of 24 and. The liquid crystal panel 23 becomes transparent when energized so that the periphery (outside) of the desk 2 can be seen, and becomes opaque when de-energized so that the periphery (outside) of the desk 2 becomes invisible. Therefore, the personal air conditioner 1 is installed so that its liquid crystal panel 23 faces the window of a high-rise building, and the liquid crystal panel 23 is de-energized during work to shut off around the desk 2 so that the user can concentrate on work. can do. By energizing the liquid crystal panel 23, this panel becomes transparent and you can see the night view.
You can make a change. Also, the radiation panel 24
The footless 4 has a built-in 500W heater and a 200W heater, respectively, to warm the feet of workers. A television 25 is incorporated in the duct portion 22. Reference numeral 51 is a punching metal that covers the rear portion of the personal air conditioner 1.

FIG. 3 is a plan view of the personal air conditioner 1, and 26 is an exhaust port provided on the upper surface (outer surface) 27 of the eaves 5. 28,29
Are the left and right cold air outlets arranged under the eaves 5 (inside surface), and are curved along the edge of the desk 2. In this way, the cold air outlets 28, 29 are curved in a substantially arc shape along the substantially semicircular edge of the desk 2, so that the desk 2 can be seated on the chair 15 (see FIG. 1).
The cold air flows from the front and the left and right directions to the worker who faces to the front side so that only the left and right parts of the worker's body are not cooled. Reference numeral 30 is an oxygen outlet provided at the right end of the left cold air outlet 28. Reference numeral 31 denotes a speaker, which is provided on both sides of the lower surface of the eaves 5, and is controlled by a sound controller provided on the right operation console 19 (see FIG. 1) of the desk 2 together with the television 25 (see FIG. 1). Is adjusted. Reference numeral 32 is a spotlight provided between the lighting devices 21.

4 and 5 are sectional views of the IV-IV and VV portions of FIG. 1, respectively, and 33 is a machine room surrounded by the punching metal 26 and the radiation panel 24. The machine room 33 houses an integrated air conditioner 34 and an oxygen generator 35. In this air conditioner 34, a partition plate 36 divides the inside of the air conditioner 34 into a use side chamber 37 and a heat source side chamber 38 by this plate. And an air purifying filter 39 in the use side room 37,
An evaporator 40 and a fan 41 are housed in the heat source side chamber 38.
A condenser 42, a fan 43, and a compressor 44 are housed in the. Reference numeral 45 is an exhaust duct connected to the heat source side chamber 38, and 46 is a smoke exhaust duct connected to the exhaust duct 45. The smoke exhaust duct 46 extends from the ashtray 17. The exhaust duct 45 extends upward and is bent in the duct chamber 22 in the approximate center of the desk 2. The exhaust duct 45 is connected to the exhaust port 26 of the eaves 5 (see FIG. 3). Reference numeral 47 is a cold air duct connected to the use side chamber, and a discharge type negative ion generator 48 is housed in the cold air duct 47. This cold air duct
47 also extends upward and is branched left and right in the duct chamber 22 so that the respective branch ducts 49 have cold air outlets 28, 29 of the eaves 5 (see FIG. 3).
Connected to. Reference numeral 50 denotes an oxygen duct connected to the oxygen generator 35, which is connected to the oxygen outlet 30 (see FIG. 3) described above. Then, the enriched oxygen air (oxygen concentration of about 30% (20 ° C.)) generated in the oxygen generator 35 is discharged from the oxygen outlet 30 via the oxygen duct 50. It is said that the enriched oxygen air activates the metabolic activity of cells of the human body to remove intracellular waste products and recover physical and mental fatigue. Here, the oxygen outlet 30 is provided separately from the cold air outlet 28 because the oxygen outlet 30 and the oxygen duct 50 are provided.
This is because I wanted to bring it closer to the worker's mouth so that it could also be used as an oxygen mask.

Then, by operating the air conditioner 34, a part of the air sucked into the machine room 33 through the punching metal 51 is filtered and cooled by the air cleaning filter 39 and the evaporator 40 and then guided to the cold air duct 47. Get burned. Then, the cooling air in the cold air duct 47 is mixed with the negative ions (about 10,000 pieces / cm ³ (20 ° C.)) generated by the negative ion generator 48, and is discharged from the cold air outlets 28, 29. These negative ions are said to be "vitamins in the air," and they are thought to be in short supply in office buildings.

In this way, the cold air outlets 28, 29 are not simply cooled air, but negative ions are mixed with this air to be ejected, and enriched oxygen air is ejected from the oxygen air outlet 30 to allow the worker to discharge. I am trying to improve the efficiency of my work. The operation of the negative ion generator 48 and the oxygen generator 35 is controlled by the air conditioning controller 20 (see FIG. 1) provided at the center of the eaves 5. Further, the desk 2 is provided with an ashtray 17 with a lid 18, and this ashtray 17 is connected to an exhaust duct 45 via a smoke exhaust duct 46, and the smoke in the ashtray 17 is sucked by the air passing through the exhaust duct 45. It is done. Therefore, even if a lit cigarette is placed on the ashtray 17, the cigarette smoke is exhausted through the smoke exhaust duct 46 and the exhaust duct 45, which makes it difficult for the cigarette smoke to stagnate around the desk 2.

When the personal air conditioner 1 configured as described above is operated, cooling air mixed with negative ions is discharged from the cool air outlets 28 and 29, and enriched oxygen air is discharged from the oxygen outlet 30. Here, since the air outlets 28, 29, 30 are curved on the lower surface of the eaves 5 along the edge of the desk 2, the air discharged from the cooling air outlets 28, 29 is curved.
It descends along the (liquid crystal panel 23) as shown by the solid line arrow in FIG. Therefore, the cold air flows around the worker sitting on the chair 15 substantially evenly so that only the left and right parts of the worker's body are not cooled.

Further, since the exhaust port 26 is provided on the upper surface of the eaves 5, the hot air discharged from the exhaust port 26 is less likely to flow on the desk by the eaves 5. Therefore, the air discharged from the cold air outlets 28 and 29 on the desk 2 can be made comfortable on the desk 2 and around the operator.

The exhaust port 26 may be provided on the outer surface of the partition member 3. Further, the cold air outlets 28, 29 may be provided on the inner side surface of the partition member 3.

(G) Effect of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a partition member is erected around the desk, and an eave covering the desk is provided on the upper part of the partition member, which is surrounded by the eave, the desk and the partition member. Since the cold air outlet for discharging the cool air to the space is provided, only the necessary space on the desk can be reliably cooled, and the air conditioner can be operated efficiently.
