Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, in a building, there may be provided a whole-building air conditioning facility for air conditioning a plurality of indoor spaces. In the whole-building air conditioning facility, the indoor unit is installed, for example, in a machine room in the building. The indoor unit takes in the air in the machine room to generate conditioned air (cool air or warm air), and performs air conditioning (heating and cooling) by supplying the conditioned air to each indoor space through a duct. Further, the conditioned air supplied to each indoor space then circulates through the building back to the machine room and is taken into the indoor unit.

[0005] In buildings equipped with a central air conditioning system, wall-mounted air conditioners are typically not installed. Therefore, in such buildings, the clothes drying stand described in Patent Document 1, which uses the warm air blown downwards from the air conditioner to dry laundry, cannot be used. Consequently, there is a need for technology that makes it easier to dry laundry indoors in buildings equipped with a central air conditioning system.

[0006] This invention was made in view of the above circumstances, and its main purpose is to make it easier to dry laundry when drying it indoors in a building equipped with a whole-house air conditioning system. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] To solve the above problems, the building of the first invention is a building in which a whole-house air conditioning system is installed, and which has a clothes drying facility and a clothes drying space enclosed by an enclosure, and an indoor unit of the whole-house air conditioning system is installed in the clothes drying space, and the indoor unit takes in air from the clothes drying space to generate conditioned air for air conditioning, and supplies the conditioned air to a plurality of supply destinations set in locations different from the clothes drying space within the building, and the conditioned air supplied to the plurality of supply destinations is returned to the clothes drying space through a ventilation section provided in the enclosure and taken in by the indoor unit.

[0008] According to the first invention, laundry can be dried using a drying rack installed in the drying space. In addition, an indoor unit of the whole-house air conditioning system is installed in the drying space. The indoor unit takes in air from the drying space to generate conditioned air and supplies this conditioned air to multiple supply points located in different locations within the building from the drying space. The conditioned air supplied to each of the multiple supply points recirculates back into the drying space through a ventilation section provided in the enclosure, and this recirculated conditioned air is then taken into the indoor unit. In this case, a relatively large airflow is generated in the drying space from the ventilation section towards the indoor unit. This makes it easier to dry laundry by utilizing this airflow.

[0009] In the building of the second invention, the indoor unit is located in the corner of the clothes drying space, and the ventilation unit is located diagonally opposite the indoor unit in a plan view.

[0010] According to the second invention, since the ventilation unit and the indoor unit are positioned diagonally opposite each other in a plan view, the air flowing from the ventilation unit towards the indoor unit can be circulated over a wide area of ​​the drying space. Therefore, this configuration is suitable for making it easier to dry laundry through airflow.

[0011] In the building of the third invention, the ventilation section is positioned higher than the upper end of the indoor unit, in the case of the second invention.

[0012] When drying laundry by hanging it on a clothesline or similar in a drying space, the laundry will be located at the top of the drying space. In this respect, the third invention is designed so that the ventilation section is positioned higher than the top of the indoor unit, making it easier to create airflow at the top of the drying space. As a result, laundry can be dried more easily.

[0013] The building of the fourth invention, in the third invention, is equipped with a first clothes drying system, which includes a first clothes drying pole positioned above the indoor unit, and the floor of the clothes drying space is provided with a floor outlet that blows air-conditioned air supplied from the indoor unit upward.

[0014] According to the fourth invention, since the first clothes drying rod of the first clothes drying equipment is positioned above the indoor unit, it becomes possible to dry laundry using the space above the indoor unit. Furthermore, since an air conditioning outlet (floor outlet) is provided in the floor of the drying space, the air flowing into the drying space from the ventilation section is pushed upward by the air conditioning air blown out from the floor outlet. This makes it easier to guide this air into the space above the indoor unit. As a result, laundry can be dried effectively using the space above the indoor unit.

[0015] The building of the fifth invention is, in the fourth invention, wherein the enclosure has a plurality of partition walls provided on all four sides of the clothes drying space, the plurality of partition walls include a first partition wall provided with the ventilation section and a second partition wall facing the first partition wall across the clothes drying space, the clothes drying space is provided with a washing machine installation section where a washing machine can be installed, the washing machine installation section and the indoor unit are arranged adjacent to each other and adjacent to the second partition wall, the washing machine installation section is arranged in a plan view facing the ventilation section in the opposing directions, and the first clothes drying rod extends across the top of the indoor unit and the top of the washing machine installation section.

[0016] According to the fifth invention, since the washing machine can be installed in the washing machine installation section provided in the drying space, it is convenient that both washing clothes and drying the washed clothes can be done in the drying space. In addition, the first clothes drying rod extends across the top of the indoor unit and the top of the washing machine installation section in the drying space. In this case, it is possible to dry clothes by utilizing the space above the indoor unit and the space above the washing machine, respectively.

[0017] Furthermore, as mentioned above, the air flowing into the drying space from the ventilation area is pushed upward by the conditioned air blown out from the floor outlet. In this case, it is easier to guide this air to the space above the indoor unit and the washing machine. This allows laundry to be dried effectively using the space above the indoor unit and the washing machine.

[0018] In the building of the sixth invention, the floor air outlet is located between the ventilation section and the washing machine installation section in a plan view, as described in the fifth invention.

[0019] According to the sixth invention, the floor outlet is positioned between the ventilation section and the washing machine installation section in a plan view. In this case, the air flowing from the ventilation section into the drying space is pushed upward by the conditioned air blown out from the floor outlet, making it easier to guide the air to the space above the washing machine. This makes it easier to create an airflow that flows from the space above the washing machine to the space above the indoor unit and then to the indoor unit, and as a result, laundry can be dried more effectively by utilizing the space above both the indoor unit and the washing machine.

[0020] The building of the seventh invention, in the sixth invention, is equipped with a second clothes drying system, which includes a second clothes drying rod positioned on the first partition wall side of the washing machine installation area and the indoor unit, and the floor air outlet is positioned directly below the second clothes drying rod.

[0021] According to the seventh invention, laundry can be dried using a second clothes drying pole in addition to the first clothes drying pole. This makes it possible to dry a large amount of laundry in the drying space. Furthermore, since the floor air outlet is located directly below the second clothes drying pole, laundry dried indoors using the second clothes drying pole can be easily dried by the conditioned air blown from the floor air outlet.

[0022] The building of the eighth invention, in any of the third to seventh inventions, comprises a housing section for housing the indoor unit inside, the housing section is provided with a communication section that connects the inside and outside of the housing section, the communication section is located near the floor of the clothes drying space, and the ventilation section is located near the ceiling of the clothes drying space.

[0023] According to the eighth invention, a communication part that connects the inside and outside of the housing part for housing the indoor unit is provided in the housing part. In this case, the air in the drying space (specifically, the air outside the housing part in the drying space) is taken into the inside of the housing part through the communication part, and then the air is taken into the indoor unit. In such a configuration, an air flow from the ventilation part toward the communication part occurs in the drying space. Therefore, in the present invention, the ventilation part is set near the ceiling of the drying space, and the communication part is set near the floor of the drying space. In this case, an air flow from near the ceiling to near the floor can be created in the drying space. Therefore, it is possible to more easily dry the laundry. In particular, it is effective for drying long laundry items such as dresses.

[0025] Hereinafter, an embodiment embodying the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that FIG. 1 is a plan view showing the periphery of the dressing room in a building. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing the inside of the dressing room, corresponding to the cross-section taken along line A-A in FIG. 1.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, in a building 10 such as a house, as indoor spaces, a living-dining-kitchen (LDK) 11, a dressing room 12, and a bathroom 13 are provided. Although not shown, the building 10 further has, as indoor spaces, a Japanese-style room, a bedroom, a toilet, and the like. The LDK 11 is a continuous space where the living room, kitchen, and dining room are continuous, corresponding to a living room. The LDK 11 is formed in an L shape in plan view.

[0027] The dressing room 12 is adjacent to the living room, dining room, kitchen (LDK) 11. The dressing room 12 is located inside the L-shaped LDK 11. The dressing room 12 is also adjacent to the bathroom 13. In plan view, the dressing room 12 is rectangular, or more specifically, square. The LDK 11 is the adjacent room to the dressing room 12.

[0028] Four partition walls 16a to 16d are provided on all four sides of the dressing room 12. The dressing room 12 is surrounded by these four partition walls 16a to 16d. Partition walls 16a to 16d are provided to separate the dressing room 12 from the living room / dining room / kitchen (LDK) 11 (partition wall 16a), the dressing room 12 from the bathroom 13 (partition wall 16b), the dressing room 12 from the outdoors (partition wall 16c), and the dressing room 12 from the LDK 11 (partition wall 16d). Partition walls 16a and 16c face each other across the dressing room 1, and partition walls 16b and 16d face each other across the dressing room 12.

[0029] The partition wall 16a is provided with an entrance 17 for accessing the dressing room 12 from the living room / dining room / kitchen (LDK) 11. The entrance 17 is fitted with a hinged door 18. The partition wall 16b is provided with an entrance 22 for accessing the bathroom 13 from the dressing room 12. The entrance 22 is fitted with a folding door 23. The partition walls 16a to 16d and the doors 18 and 23 together constitute an "enclosure 25" surrounding the dressing room 12.

[0030] Building 10 is equipped with a whole-house air conditioning system 30. In Building 10, the whole-house air conditioning system 30 provides air conditioning (heating and cooling) to multiple indoor spaces within Building 10. The multiple indoor spaces that are the target of air conditioning (hereinafter referred to as air-conditioned spaces S) include the living room / dining room / kitchen 11, dressing room 12, Japanese-style room, and bedroom. The whole-house air conditioning system 30 will be described below.

[0031] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the whole-house air conditioning system 30 includes an indoor unit 31 that generates conditioned air (cool or warm air) for air conditioning. The indoor unit 31 is installed in the dressing room 12. The indoor unit 31 takes in air from the dressing room 12 and generates conditioned air by adjusting the temperature of the taken-in air.

[0032] Multiple air conditioning ducts 32 are connected to the indoor unit 31. Each air conditioning duct 32 extends under the floor and through the underfloor space to each air-conditioned space S within the building 10. Each air conditioning duct 32 is connected to an air outlet 33 located in the floor of each air-conditioned space S. The conditioned air generated by the indoor unit 31 is supplied to each air outlet 33 through each air conditioning duct 32 and blown out into the air-conditioned space S from each air outlet 33. As a result, each air-conditioned space S is air-conditioned by the conditioned air that is blown out.

[0033] Of the conditioned air blown into each air-conditioned space S, the conditioned air blown into air-conditioned spaces S other than the dressing room 12 (i.e., the living room / dining room / kitchen 11, the Japanese-style room, and the bedroom) is returned to the dressing room 12 through a return air grille 35 provided in the partition wall 16a. The return air grille 35 is positioned above the entrance / exit 17 in the partition wall 16a and is horizontally elongated, extending in the width direction of the entrance / exit 17. The return air grille 35 allows ventilation between the living room / dining room / kitchen 11 and the dressing room 12. The return air grille 35 is positioned near the ceiling of the dressing room 12, more specifically adjacent to the ceiling. The return air grille 35 corresponds to the "ventilation section". The partition wall 16a corresponds to the "first partition wall". Also, in Figure 1, for the sake of explanation, the return air grille 35 is shown with a dashed line.

[0034] In this building 10, only one return air grille 35 is provided in the enclosure 25 surrounding the changing room 12. Therefore, all the conditioned air returning to the changing room 12 passes through the return air grille 35.

[0035] The air that has been returned to the dressing room 12 is then taken in by the indoor unit 31 installed in the dressing room 12. Similarly, the conditioned air blown out from the outlet 33 in the dressing room 12 is also taken in by the indoor unit 31. The indoor unit 31 then generates conditioned air based on the air it has taken in.

[0036] In this building 10, the changing room 12 is used as a space for drying laundry. Therefore, the configuration of this changing room 12 will be described in detail below.

[0037] As described above, an indoor unit 31 is installed in the dressing room 12. The indoor unit 31 is installed on the floor of the dressing room 12. The indoor unit 31 is located in the corner between the partition walls 16c and 16d in the dressing room 12. The indoor unit 31 is positioned with its front surface 31a facing the partition wall 16a. Although not shown in the illustration, the indoor unit 31 has an air intake (not shown) on its front surface 31a for taking in air from the dressing room 12.

[0038] The indoor unit 31 is housed inside the housing 38. The housing 38 is box-shaped and has a door 38a on its front side. By opening this door 38a, maintenance of the indoor unit 31 can be performed. The lower end of the door 38a is undercut, and this undercut portion forms a communication section 39 that connects the inside and outside of the housing 38. The communication section 39 is located near the floor of the dressing room 12, more specifically adjacent to the floor of the dressing room 12. The air in the dressing room 12 (more specifically, the air outside the housing 38 in the dressing room 12) is drawn into the housing 38 through the communication section 39 and then drawn into the indoor unit 31. The top plate 38b of the housing 38 is used as a table when folding or ironing laundry.

[0039] The dressing room 12 is equipped with a washing machine pan 42 (waterproof pan) on which a washing machine 41 can be installed. The washing machine 41 is installed in the washing machine pan 42. The washing machine pan 42 is located in the corner between the partition walls 16b and 16c in the dressing room 12. In this case, the washing machine pan 42 and the indoor unit 31 are arranged side by side adjacent to the partition wall 16c. That is, the washing machine pan 42 and the indoor unit 31 are arranged in the width direction of the partition wall 16c. In addition, a low wall section 45 is provided between the washing machine pan 42 (washing machine 41) and the indoor unit 31 to separate them. The washing machine pan 42 corresponds to the "washing machine installation area". The partition wall 16c corresponds to the "second partition wall".

[0040] A storage shelf 47 is provided in the dressing room 12. The storage shelf 47 is capable of accommodating clothes and other items that have been dried indoors in the dressing room 12. The storage shelf 47 is located in the corner between the partition walls 16a and 16d in the dressing room 12. In this case, the storage shelf 47 is positioned facing the indoor unit 31 in the width direction of the partition wall 16d.

[0041] As described above, a return air grille 35 is provided in the partition wall 16a. The return air grille 35 is located on the partition wall 16b side of the storage shelf 47 in the partition wall 16a. In this case, in a plan view, the return air grille 35 is positioned facing the washing machine pan 42 and the partition wall 16b in the wall width direction. In other words, in a plan view, the return air grille 35 is positioned facing the washing machine pan 42 in the opposing directions of each partition wall 16a, 16c. Furthermore, in a plan view, the return air grille 35 is positioned diagonally opposite the indoor unit 31. Therefore, in the wall width direction of the partition wall 16a, the return air grille 35 is positioned on the partition wall 16b side of the indoor unit 31.

[0042] The changing room 12 is equipped with clothes drying facilities 51 and 52 for drying laundry. Both clothes drying facilities 51 and 52 are ceiling-mounted fixtures installed on the ceiling of the changing room 12. Of the clothes drying facilities 51 and 52, clothes drying facility 51 has a clothes drying rod 51a and a pair of support parts 51b that support the clothes drying rod 51a.

[0043] The clothes drying rod 51a is positioned to straddle the space above the indoor unit 31 (housing section 38) and above the washing machine 41, and extends in the width direction of the partition walls 16a and 16c. Laundry can be hung from the clothes drying rod 51a using hangers or the like. In this case, the laundry is suspended in the space above the indoor unit 31 and the space above the washing machine 41. Each support section 51b is pole-shaped and extends vertically, with its upper end attached to the ceiling of the dressing room 12 and its lower end fixed to the clothes drying rod 51a. The clothes drying rod 51a corresponds to the "first clothes drying rod," and the clothes drying equipment 51 corresponds to the "first clothes drying equipment."

[0044] The clothes drying equipment 52 has a clothes drying rod 52a and a pair of lifting support parts 52b that support the clothes drying rod 52a so that it can be raised and lowered. Laundry can be hung from the clothes drying rod 52a via hangers or the like. The clothes drying rod 52a is positioned on the partition wall 16a side of the indoor unit 31 (housing section 38) and the washing machine pan 42, and extends in the wall width direction of the partition walls 16a and 16c. In this case, the clothes drying rod 52a is positioned on the partition wall 16a side of the clothes drying rod 51a of the clothes drying equipment 51, and extends parallel to the clothes drying rod 51a. In addition, in the dressing room 12, a passage space 12a is formed on the partition wall 16a side of the indoor unit 31 and the washing machine pan 42. The clothes drying rod 52a is positioned in this passage space 12a.

[0045] Each lifting support unit 52b has a rope 52c that supports the clothes drying pole 52a and a winding unit 52d that can wind up and unwind the rope 52c. The winding unit 52d is attached to the ceiling of the dressing room 12, and the rope 52c is unwinded from the winding unit 52d and hangs down. The clothes drying pole 52a is fixed to the lower end of the rope 52c. In this case, the height of the clothes drying pole 52a can be adjusted by winding up or unwinding the rope 52c with each winding unit 52d, and consequently, the height of the laundry hung on the clothes drying pole 52a can be adjusted. Therefore, by raising the laundry to near the ceiling to dry, it is possible to prevent the laundry from obstructing passage in the passage space 12a. Note that the clothes drying pole 52a corresponds to the "second clothes drying pole," and the clothes drying equipment 52 corresponds to the "second clothes drying equipment."

[0046] As described above, an air outlet 33 (hereinafter referred to as air outlet 33A) for blowing out conditioned air is provided in the floor of the dressing room 12. In a plan view, the air outlet 33A is located between the return air grill 35 and the washing machine pan 42. In this case, in a plan view, the air outlet 33A is located on the partition wall 16a side of the indoor unit 31 (housing section 38). Also, the air outlet 33A is located directly below the clothesline pole 52a of the clothes drying equipment 52. Note that the air outlet 33A corresponds to a "floor air outlet".

[0047] Next, we will explain the process of drying laundry in the changing room 12.

[0048] As described above, in the dressing room 12, the conditioned air supplied to each air-conditioned space S other than the dressing room 12 (corresponding to multiple supply destinations) is recirculated through the return air grille 35 and taken into the indoor unit 31. In this case, an airflow is generated in the dressing room 12 from the return air grille 35 toward the indoor unit 31. Then, in the dressing room 12, it is possible to dry laundry hanging on the clotheslines 51a and 52a using this airflow. More specifically, in the dressing room 12, an airflow is generated from the return air grille 35 toward the communication section 39 of the housing section 38, and this air flows from the communication section 39 into the interior of the housing section 38 and is taken into the indoor unit 31.

[0049] To explain the airflow in the dressing room 12 in more detail, the air flowing into the dressing room 12 from the return air grille 35 flows along the ceiling of the dressing room 12 towards the space above the washing machine 41. At this time, the conditioned air blown out from the outlet 33A pushes the above air upwards, making it easier to guide the air to the space above the washing machine 41 without it having to take a shortcut to the indoor unit 31. Furthermore, the air that has flowed to the space above the washing machine 41 then flows to the space above the indoor unit 31 (housing section 38), and then flows into the indoor unit 31 through the communication section 39 of the housing section 38. In this case, an airflow is created from the space above the washing machine 41 → the space above the indoor unit 31 → the indoor unit 31, and this airflow makes it easier to dry the laundry hanging on the clothesline pole 51a.

[0050] Furthermore, since the air outlet 33A is positioned directly below the clothesline pole 52a, laundry hanging on the clothesline pole 52a can be easily dried by the conditioned air blown from the air outlet 33A.

[0051] As described in detail above, the configuration of this embodiment provides the following excellent effects.

[0052] The conditioned air supplied from the indoor unit 31 to multiple supply locations (LDK 11, bedroom, and Japanese-style room) is all returned to the dressing room 12 through the return air grille 35 provided in the enclosure 25, and this returned conditioned air is taken into the indoor unit 31. In this case, a relatively large airflow is generated in the dressing room 12 from the return air grille 35 towards the indoor unit 31. This makes it easier to dry laundry by utilizing this airflow.

[0053] Since the return air grille 35 and the indoor unit 31 are positioned diagonally opposite each other in a plan view, the air flowing from the return air grille 35 towards the indoor unit 31 can be circulated over a wide area of ​​the dressing room 12. Therefore, this configuration is suitable for making it easier to dry laundry through airflow.

[0054] The return air grille 35 is set near the ceiling of the dressing room 12, and the connecting section 39 of the storage section 38 is set near the floor of the dressing room 12. In this case, an airflow can be created in the dressing room 12 from near the ceiling to near the floor. Therefore, laundry can be dried more easily. This is especially effective when drying long items of clothing, such as dresses.

[0055] • The clothes drying equipment 51 and 52 are ceiling-mounted and spaced above the floor of the dressing room 12, allowing for floor cleaning while drying laundry. Additionally, since laundry can be dried in the upper part of the dressing room 12 where moisture is less likely to accumulate, it has the advantage of drying more easily.

[0056] • The clothes drying rod 52a located in the passage space 12a of the changing room 12 is made movable up and down, allowing laundry to be hung while minimizing obstruction to passage in the passage space 12a.

[0057] Since the changing room 12 is equipped with a washing machine 41, drying equipment 51, 52, and storage shelves 47, washing, drying, and putting away can all be done in the changing room 12. Therefore, the entire laundry process can be carried out efficiently.

[0058] The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and may be implemented, for example, as follows.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the dressing room 12 is used as a laundry drying space, but a separate laundry drying space may be provided. In the building 60 shown in Figure 3, a laundry drying space 61 is provided adjacent to the dressing room 62 (washroom). The laundry drying space 61 is equipped with an indoor unit 63, a washing machine pan 64 (washing machine 69), storage shelves 65, laundry drying equipment 66, 67, a return air grill 68, etc., in the same arrangement configuration as the laundry drying space (dressing room 12) in the above embodiment, and more specifically, in a symmetrical arrangement configuration with the dressing room 12. Therefore, in this case as well, the same effects as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

[0060] In the above embodiment, the clothes drying equipment 51 and 52 were ceiling-mounted, but for example, the clothes drying equipment may be wall-mounted with clothes drying poles stretched between each partition wall 16b and 16d.

[0061] For example, a return air grille 35 (ventilation section) may be provided on the door 18. In this case as well, it is desirable that the return air grille 35 be positioned above the upper end of the indoor unit 31.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the undercut portion of the door portion 38a of the storage portion 38 was used as the communication portion 39. However, for example, a slit that connects the inside and outside of the storage portion 38 may be formed in the door portion 38a, and that slit may be used as the communication portion.
