Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, each embodiment will be described.

[0022] <<First Embodiment>> Figure 1 is a perspective view of an air conditioning component set 1 according to the first embodiment. The air conditioning component set 1 comprises a first air conditioning component 10 and a second air conditioning component 20. The air conditioning component set 1 is used together with an air conditioner. As will be described in detail later, the first air conditioning component 10 is positioned on the intake side of the air conditioner, and the second air conditioning component 20 is positioned on the outlet side of the air conditioner.

[0023] Figure 2(A) is an exploded perspective view of the first air conditioning component 10, and Figure 2(B) is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of the first air conditioning component 10 along the line bb in Figure 2(A).

[0024] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the first air conditioning component 10 comprises a first connection box 11 and an intake connector 12. The first air conditioning component 10 is used to supply air from an intake duct (not shown) to the intake port of an air conditioner.

[0025] The first connection box 11 has at least one (three in this example) suction duct connection port 11A connected to a suction duct (not shown), and an outlet opening 11B for releasing the air that has flowed in from the suction duct connection port 11A.

[0026] The first connection box 11 is rectangular in shape in the illustrated example. The suction duct connection port 11A is formed on one surface (the top surface in Figure 1) that extends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular first connection box 11. The outlet opening 11B is formed on the surface of the first connection box 11 opposite to the surface where the suction duct connection port 11A is formed (the bottom surface in Figure 1).

[0027] In the illustrated example, the outlet opening 11B is formed over substantially the entire lower surface of the first connection box 11, so that the first connection box 11 has a rectangular box shape with one end open. However, the shape of the first connection box 11, the number of suction duct connection ports 11A and outlet openings 11B, and their formation positions and ranges are not particularly limited.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first connection box 11 is made of a wooden board. However, the material of the first connection box 11 is not particularly limited, and the first connection box 11 may be made of a resin material or the like.

[0029] The suction connector section 12 is connected to each of the suction duct connection ports 11A. The suction duct is connected to the end of the suction connector section 12 opposite to the end facing the suction duct connection port 11A. This allows the first connection box 11 to receive air flowing through the suction duct into its interior via the suction connector section 12 and the suction duct connection ports 11A.

[0030] The first connection box 11 allows air that has flowed into the interior from the intake duct connection port 11A to flow out from the outlet opening 11B. As will be described in detail later, the first connection box 11 is positioned so as to cover the intake port of the air conditioner with the outlet opening 11B facing the intake port of the air conditioner. This allows the first air conditioning component 10 to collect the air flowing through the intake duct and guide it from the first connection box 11 to the intake port of the air conditioner.

[0031] Figure 3(A) is a perspective view of the second air conditioning component 20, and Figure 3(B) is an exploded perspective view of the second air conditioning component 20.

[0032] The second air conditioning component 20 includes a second connection box 21. The second air conditioning component 20 is used to receive conditioned air from the air conditioner and supply it to the desired space.

[0033] The second connection box 21 has at least one (two in this example) outlet duct connection port 21A connected to an outlet duct (not shown), and a receiving opening 21B that receives air flowing out from the outlet of the air conditioner.

[0034] The second connection box 21 includes a pair of side plate sections 22, a front plate section 23 provided between the pair of side plate sections 22, a bottom plate section 24 connected to the lower parts of the pair of side plate sections 22 and the lower part of the front plate section 23, and an upper plate section 25 connected to the upper parts of the pair of side plate sections 22 and the upper part of the front plate section 23.

[0035] Each of the pair of side plate sections 22 is provided with a notch 22n that is recessed toward the front plate section 23. The air receiving opening 21B is formed between the notches 22n of the pair of side plate sections 22. In other words, the space between the notches 22n of the pair of side plate sections 22 is not closed, and the second connection box 21 is open from between the notches 22n. This open portion forms the receiving opening 21B.

[0036] The air conditioning component set 1 in this embodiment is configured to be applied to a type of air conditioner widely available for household use, which is installed on a wall extending vertically, has an intake port at the top, and an outlet port on the front side of the bottom. Here, the notch 22n is formed in an L-shape, trapezoidal shape, or arc shape, etc., to conform to the front and bottom surfaces of such an air conditioner. As will be described in more detail later, the notch 22n is formed in an L-shape, trapezoidal shape, or arc shape, etc., to conform to the front surface of the air conditioner located on one side of the outlet port and the bottom surface of the air conditioner located on the other side of the outlet port.

[0037] The air outlet duct connection port 21A is formed in the front plate portion 23. In this embodiment, the front plate portion 23 includes a flat first portion 23A and a flat second portion 23B that bends from the lower part of the first portion 23A, which is aligned in the vertical direction, toward the notch 22n. Specifically, the air outlet duct connection port 21A is provided in the second portion 23B. The second connection box 21 is arranged such that the first portion 23A of the front plate portion 23 is aligned with the front of the air conditioner. In this case, the second portion 23B may be positioned facing the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0038] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3(B), in this embodiment, the side plate portion 22 is detachably attached to the front plate portion 23. This allows the second air conditioning component 20 to be properly attached to various air conditioners by changing the shape of the side plate portion 22 according to the shape of each air conditioner model.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom plate portion 24 is flat. The bottom plate portion 24 is configured to be perpendicular to the edge of the side plate portion 22 that extends from the end of the notch 22n closer to the bottom plate portion 24 towards the bottom plate portion 24. In this case, the edge of the side plate portion 22 that extends from the end of the notch 22n towards the bottom plate portion 24 is in contact with the wall to which the air conditioner is mounted, and the bottom plate portion 24 can be extended in the direction normal to the wall. In this case, the load of the second connection box 21 can be more easily supported via the bottom plate portion 24, and the stability during installation can be improved.

[0040] In this embodiment, the space between the edges of the pair of side plate portions 22 extending from the end of the notch 22n towards the bottom plate portion 24 is left open without any member being provided, but it may be closed by providing a plate material.

[0041] The second connection box 21 can allow air from the air conditioner, which has been drawn into the interior through the receiving opening 21B, to flow out through the discharge duct connection port 21A. As will be described in detail later, the second connection box 21 is positioned so as to cover the discharge port of the air conditioner, with the receiving opening 21B facing the discharge port of the air conditioner. This allows the second air conditioning component 20 to draw air from the air conditioner into the discharge duct through the discharge duct connection port 21A and supply air to the desired location.

[0042] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating how to use the air conditioning parts set 1. The air conditioner 40 shown in Figure 4 is a type of air conditioner that is widely available for household use. The air conditioner 40 is rectangular in shape and is installed with its rear facing a wall that extends vertically, with its longitudinal direction aligned horizontally. The air conditioner 40 has an intake port 41 at the top and an outlet port 42 at the front of the lower part (front lower part or front lower corner).

[0043] The first air conditioning component 10 is positioned above the air conditioner 40, and the second air conditioning component 20 is positioned below the air conditioner 40. Referring to Figures 4(A) and (B) together, the first connection box 11 of the first air conditioning component 10 is positioned so as to cover the intake port 41 of the air conditioner 40, with the outlet opening 11B facing the intake port 41 of the air conditioner 40. In this way, the first air conditioning component 10 is attached to the air conditioner 40. The first air conditioning component 10 can collect the air flowing through the intake duct and guide it from the first connection box 11 to the intake port 41 of the air conditioner 40.

[0044] Furthermore, the second connection box 21 of the second air conditioning component 20 is positioned so as to cover the air outlet 42 of the air conditioner 40, with the receiving opening 21B facing the air outlet 42 of the air conditioner 40. Here, the notch 22n is positioned along the front surface of the air conditioner 40 on one side relative to the air outlet 42 and along the underside of the air conditioner 40 on the other side relative to the air outlet 42. In this way, the second air conditioning component 20 is attached to the air conditioner 40. The second air conditioning component 20 can then draw air from the air conditioner 40 into the air outlet duct through the air outlet duct connection port 21A and supply air to desired locations (multiple rooms, etc.).

[0045] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an air conditioning system 50 that utilizes the air conditioning component set 1. The air conditioning system 50 is constructed by connecting the intake duct 51, the discharge duct 52, etc., to the air conditioning component set 1, as shown in Figure 4(B).

[0046] In the example shown in Figure 5, one intake duct 51 is connected to the intake connector 12 of the first connection box 11. The end of the intake duct 51 opposite to the end connected to the intake connector 12 is connected to the total heat exchanger with ventilation device 53. Two discharge ducts 52 are connected to the two discharge duct connection ports 21A of the second connection box 21. The two discharge ducts 52 each branch off midway, and in the example in Figure 5, air from the air conditioner 40 flows into rooms A and B from one of the two discharge ducts 52. Air from the air conditioner 40 also flows into rooms C and D from the other of the two discharge ducts 52.

[0047] On the other hand, the air from rooms A to D flows into a total heat exchanger 53 with a ventilation device. Here, the total heat exchanger 53 with a ventilation device is configured to exchange heat between the air flowing from outside toward the intake duct 51 and the air flowing in from rooms A to D. In this case, the air flowing from the intake duct 51 to the air conditioner 40 via the first air conditioning component 10 becomes close to the room temperature. This can reduce the energy required for temperature control of the air conditioner 40 toward the target temperature. The total heat exchanger 53 with a ventilation device has a built-in filter, and the air flowing in from outside to the air conditioner 40 is purified. The indoor air that has exchanged heat with the outdoor air in the total heat exchanger 53 with a ventilation device is discharged outside.

[0048] In the example shown in Figure 5, the bottom plate portion 24 of the second connection box 21 is in contact with the support portion 30 installed on the wall, and the load of the second connection box 21 is supported by the support portion 30. Although not shown, the second connection box 21 is also supported by a band-like member or the like to prevent it from falling off the front side (the side away from the wall). The first connection box 11 may be fixed to the top surface of the air conditioner 40.

[0049] Figure 6 shows an example of a building 60 (house) in which the air conditioning system 50 shown in Figure 5 is installed. In the example in Figure 6, the air conditioner 40, the first air conditioning component 10, the second air conditioning component 20, and the total heat exchanger 53 with ventilation device are installed in the attic.

[0050] One of the two discharge ducts 52 connected to the second air conditioning component 20 extends to the first floor and branches off to supply air to multiple rooms on the first floor. The other of the two discharge ducts 52 branches off to supply air to multiple rooms on the second floor. The dashed lines indicate duct lines that draw air from multiple rooms in the building to the total heat exchanger 53 with ventilation device. Note that the air conditioning system 50 can be applied to various buildings, and the embodiment shown in Figure 6 is just one example.

[0051] The air conditioning component set 1 according to the first embodiment described above comprises: a first air conditioning component 10 having a first connection box 11 having at least one intake duct connection port 11A connected to an intake duct and an outlet opening 11B for releasing air that has flowed in from the intake duct connection port 11A, and positioned to cover the intake port with the outlet opening 11B facing the intake port of the air conditioner; and a second air conditioning component 20 having a second connection box 21 having at least one outlet duct connection port 21A connected to an outlet duct and a receiving opening 21B for receiving air that flows out from the outlet of the air conditioner, and positioned to cover the outlet with the receiving opening 21B facing the outlet of the air conditioner. The second connection box 21 includes a pair of side plate portions 22 and a front plate portion 23 provided between the pair of side plate portions 22. Each of the pair of side plate portions 22 is provided with a notch 22n that is recessed toward the front plate portion 23, and a receiving opening 21B is formed between the notches 22n. The notches 22n are formed to follow the front surface of the air conditioner located on one side relative to the air outlet and the bottom surface of the air conditioner located on the other side relative to the air outlet.

[0052] With this air conditioning component set 1, firstly, the first air conditioning component 10 makes it possible to concentrate and supply air in the desired state to the air conditioner. In particular, by concentrating air at a temperature close to the control target temperature, such as the indoor air, or air adjusted to such a temperature, using the first air conditioning component 10 and supplying it to the air conditioner, the energy consumption required for temperature control can be suppressed. Furthermore, the second air conditioning component 20 makes it possible to efficiently supply air to a space where air conditioning, such as temperature control, is desired. In particular, the second connection box 21 of the second air conditioning component 20 is provided with a notch 22n formed to conform to the front and bottom surfaces of a household air conditioner. By installing the second air conditioning component 20 so that the notch 22n conforms to the air conditioner, it becomes possible to supply air from the air conditioner to the desired location without causing it to flow to undesirable locations, without requiring any special effort. Therefore, the air conditioning component set 1 according to this embodiment can easily and efficiently air condition multiple spaces.

[0053] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side plate portion 22 is detachably attached to the front plate portion 23. This makes it possible to properly attach the second air conditioning component 20 to various air conditioners by changing the shape of the side plate portion 22 according to the shape of each air conditioner model.

[0054] Figure 7 shows how the side plate portion 22, which is part of the components of the second air conditioning component 20, can be modified. For example, as shown in Figure 7(A), if the front lower corner of the air conditioner 40' is rounded, the second air conditioning component 20 can be adapted to the shape of the air conditioner by using a side plate portion 22' having an arc-shaped notch 22n'. Also, as shown in Figure 7(B), even if the depth dimension of the air conditioner 40'' is large, the second air conditioning component 20 can be adapted to the shape of the air conditioner by using a wide notch 22n'' and a side plate portion 22'' of a suitable size.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the bottom plate portion 24 of the second connection box 21 is flat, and the bottom plate portion 24 is perpendicular to the edge of the side plate portion 22 that extends from the end of the notch 22n closer to the bottom plate portion 24 towards the bottom plate portion 24. In this case, the edge of the side plate portion 22 that extends from the end of the notch 22n towards the bottom plate portion 24 can be brought into contact with the wall on which the air conditioner is mounted, and the bottom plate portion 24 can be extended in the direction normal to the wall. In this case, the load of the second connection box 21 can be easily supported from the bottom plate portion 24, and the stability during installation can be improved. That is, the second connection box 21 can be stably supported using the support portion 30 as shown in Figure 5.

[0056] In this embodiment, the front plate portion 23 includes a flat first portion 23A and a flat second portion 23B that bends from the first portion 23A toward the notch 22n, and a discharge duct connection port 21A is provided in the second portion 23B. In this case, by arranging the second connection box 21 so that the first portion 23A of the front plate portion 23 is along the front of the air conditioner, the second portion 23B can be brought facing the air outlet of the air conditioner. In this case, pressure loss can be suppressed and air can be allowed to flow, thereby improving efficiency.

[0057] Here, Figure 8 shows a modified example of the first embodiment. In the above-described embodiment, it is assumed that the notch 22n is in direct contact with the air conditioner. In contrast, in the modified example shown in Figure 8(A), an arc-shaped elastic member 26 is provided in the notch 22n of the side plate portion 22, following the shape of the notch 22n. The second connection box 21 is then brought into contact with the air conditioner via the elastic member 26. In this case, the airtightness between the air conditioner and the second connection box 21 is improved, the operating efficiency is improved, and the second connection box 21 can be adapted to the shape of the air conditioner without changing the shape of the notch 22n. The elastic member 26 may be made of synthetic rubber, elastomer, urethane, expanded polystyrene, etc.

[0058] Figure 8(B) shows that an elastic member 26 with a greater thickness than that in Figure 8(A) is provided on the side plate portion 22. In this case, a notch portion that matches the shape of the air conditioner can be easily formed on the side plate portion 22 by cutting the elastic member 26 using a polystyrene cutter or the like. The thickness of the elastic member 26 is not particularly limited, but by making it 3 cm or more, for example, it becomes possible to easily form a notch portion that matches various shapes of the air conditioner from the elastic member 26.

[0059] <<Second Embodiment>> Figure 9 is a perspective view of the air conditioning component set 2 according to the second embodiment. The second embodiment will be described below. Components in this embodiment that are the same as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions will be omitted.

[0060] As shown in Figure 9, in the second embodiment, the second air conditioning component 20 further includes a tapered and cylindrical connector portion 28 that is connected to the discharge duct connection port 21A of the second connection box 21. The connector portion 28 tapers away from the discharge duct connection port 21A. The discharge duct connection port 21A is connected to the discharge duct via the connector portion 28.

[0061] According to the second embodiment described above, air flows more easily from the second connection box 21 to the discharge duct. This allows for airflow while suppressing pressure loss, thereby improving efficiency.

[0062] The embodiments and their modifications described above are merely examples of how to implement the present invention, and it is possible to implement the present invention in various other forms. For example, various modifications, substitutions, omissions, or combinations thereof are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Such modified, substituted, or omission forms are also included within the scope of the present invention, as well as within the scope of the invention and its equivalents as described in the claims.
