In this conventional air cleaner, a humidification filter is arranged in one ventilation path to humidify the air and blow it out to the outside, and an ion generator is arranged in the other ventilation path to blow out ion-containing air to the outside. Blowers are respectively arranged in the two ventilation passages, so that the air volumes of the two blowers can be independently controlled. Accordingly, the air cleaner described in Patent Document 1 can independently perform control of humidified air and control of purified air. the

Patent Document 2 describes an air cleaner in which air is blown by one blower, air is sucked into the ventilation passage from one suction port, and after the sucked air is circulated through the purification filter, it contains ions and generates The ions generated by the device are blown out from the respective outlets. The air outlet of the ventilation path included in this air cleaner includes an upwardly facing top cover portion air outlet and a slightly upwardly inclined bottom air outlet facing forward. The air cleaner described in Patent Document 2 blows ion-containing air upward and forward, thereby effectively eliminating bacteria and the like. the

Next, the control part 100 judges whether the ion generator 35 is driven (step S12), and when the ion generator 35 is not driven (S12: No), it drives the ion generator 35 (step S13). the

When it is determined that the ion generator 35 is driven (S12: Yes), or when the ion generator 35 is driven in step S13 (S13), the control unit 100 sends a control signal to the motor drive circuit 133 for control. By driving the motor 75 that rotates the louver 7 , the rotation stop position of the louver 7 in the adjusted state is stopped (step S14 ). the

As described above, when the louver 7 is stopped at the rotation stop position in the adjusted state, the distance between the second facing surface 70b of the louver 7 and the wall surface 13a of the air supply chamber 13 is narrowed, so the opening area of the air supply port 18 is reduced. . As a result, the wind velocity of the airflow sent through the airflow port 18 increases, and accordingly, the windspeed of the airflow flowing along the path from the blower fan 4 to the airflow port 18 also increases. Since the ion generator 35 is provided in a state where the discharge electrode is exposed to the air supply chamber 13 on the path from the blower fan 4 to the air supply port 18, by increasing the wind speed of the air flow flowing on this path, it is possible to The increased release of ions enables the ions to reach the corners of the room. the

As described above, in Embodiment 1, when the ion shower button 111 is pressed and operated to increase the discharge amount of ions, the rotation stop position of the louver 7 in the adjusted state is stopped. That is, in the present application, since the release amount of ions is increased, the air volume does not need to be increased by increasing the rotational speed of the blower fan 4, so that the running noise can be suppressed to be small, and the increase in power consumption can be suppressed. . the

In addition, in the present embodiment, the release amount of ions is increased by pressing the ion shower button 111, but since the air conditioner is equipped with various sensors 101 to 104, the following configuration may be adopted: : Based on the sensor outputs of the various sensors 101 to 104, it enters the ion shower mode in which the release amount of ions is increased. For example, when it is determined that the amount of ions detected by ion sensor 101 has decreased, control unit 100 may control the rotation stop position of louver 7 to increase the release amount of ions in the same manner as above. In addition, it may also be configured as follows: when indoor pollution is detected by the odor sensor 103 or the dust sensor 104, the control unit 100 controls the rotation stop position of the louver 7 to increase the release amount of ions in the same manner as above. the

Implementation mode 2.

In Embodiment 1, the opening area of the air supply port 18 is controlled by controlling the rotation stop position of the louver 7 when increasing the release amount of ions in the ion shower mode, but the following structure may also be adopted. : When it is the fast vacuuming mode, control the rotation stop position of the louvers 7, thereby controlling the opening area of the air supply port 18. the

In Embodiment 2, control in the quick cleaning mode will be described. In addition, since the internal structure of an air conditioner is completely the same as Embodiment 1, the description is abbreviate|omitted. the

Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating the operation procedure of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 2. When the quick cleaning button 112 is turned on during the operation of the air conditioner (step S21 ), the control unit 100 acquires operation information indicating that the quick cleaning mode, which is one of the air conditioning operations, is effective. the

When the control unit 100 obtains the operation information indicating that the fast cleaning mode is effective, the control unit 100 sends a control signal to the motor drive circuit 133 to control the driving of the motor 75 for rotating the louver 7, thereby making the louver 7 in The rotation stop position in the adjustment state is stopped (step S22). the

When the louver 7 is stopped at the rotation stop position in the adjusted state, the distance between the second facing surface 70b of the louver 7 and the wall surface 13a of the air supply chamber 13 is narrowed, so the opening area of the air supply port 18 is reduced. As a result, the wind speed of the air flow sent out through the air outlet 18 becomes high. In addition, as mentioned above, the air sent out through the air outlet 18 rises along the back wall of the air conditioner, and flows along the ceiling in a direction away from the wall. The air flowing along the ceiling descends near the wall on the opposite side of the room, falls near the wall on the opposite side of the room, flows along the floor toward the air conditioner, and circulates in the room. the

In Embodiment 2, since the wind speed of the air flow sent out through the air supply port 18 can be increased without changing the wind direction, the circulation speed of the air flow in the room can be increased, and the filter storage chamber 11 arranged in the air conditioner can The functions of deodorizing filter 31 and dust collecting filter 32 can quickly remove odorous components in the air, or can quickly capture and collect fine dust contained in the air to remove it. the

In addition, in this embodiment, it is set as a structure which controls the opening area of the air-supply port 18 interlockingly with the pressing operation of the quick cleaning button 112, but it may also be set as a structure since the air conditioner is equipped with the odor sensor 103 and Therefore, when the dust sensor 104 detects indoor pollution by these sensors, it automatically enters the fast cleaning mode, and controls the rotation stop position of the louver 7 to control the opening area of the air inlet 18 in the same manner as above. the

Implementation mode 3.

In Embodiment 1, the configuration is set as follows: the rotation stop position of the louver 7 is controlled in the ion spray mode, thereby controlling the opening area of the air supply port 18, and in Embodiment 2, the configuration is set as follows: The rotation stop position of the louver 7 controls the opening area of the air supply port 18, but it may also be configured as follows: the rotation stop position of the louver 7 is controlled according to the air volume of the blower fan 4, thereby controlling the opening area of the air supply port 18. the

The air conditioner of this embodiment is equipped with the air volume switching button 113, and the air volume can be set. For example, when the air volume is changed from a strong state to a weak state, the amount of ions released into the room through the air supply port 18 decreases. In the present embodiment, when the air volume is from a strong state to a weak state, the rotation stop position of the louver 7 is controlled to reduce the opening area of the air supply port 18, thereby increasing the wind speed and maintaining the released amount of ions. The composition is explained. In addition, since the internal structure of an air conditioner is completely the same as Embodiment 1, the description is abbreviate|omitted. the

Fig. 10 is a flowchart illustrating the operation procedure of the air conditioner according to Embodiment 3. The control unit 100 of the air conditioner first judges whether or not the ion generator 35 is in a driven state (step S31 ). When the ion generator is not driven (S31: NO), the process of this flowchart is complete|finished. the

When the ion generator 35 is driven (S31: YES), the control part 100 acquires the information about the current air volume setting by referring to the operation information in built-in EEPROM (step S32). the

Next, the control unit 100 judges whether or not the air volume has entered a state weaker than the current air volume setting (step S33 ). When the setting of the air volume is manually or automatically switched from "strong" to "medium" or "quiet", or when the setting of the air volume is switched from "medium" to "quiet", the control unit 100 can It is judged to have entered a state weaker than the current air volume setting. When it is determined that the air volume has not entered a state weaker than the current air volume setting ( S33 : NO), the control unit 100 waits until the air volume setting is entered into a weak state. the

When it is determined that it has entered a state weaker than the current air volume setting (S33: Yes), the control unit 100 sends a control signal to the motor drive circuit 133 to control the drive of the motor 75 for rotating the louver 7, and the This stops the rotation stop position of the louvers 7 in the adjusted state (step S34 ). the

As described above, when the louver 7 is stopped at the rotation stop position in the adjusted state, the distance between the second facing surface 70b of the louver 7 and the wall surface 13a of the air supply chamber 13 is narrowed, so the opening area of the air supply port 18 is reduced. . As a result, the wind velocity of the airflow sent through the airflow port 18 increases, and accordingly, the windspeed of the airflow flowing along the path from the blower fan 4 to the airflow port 18 also increases. Since the ion generator 35 is provided in a state where the discharge electrode is exposed to the air supply chamber 13 on the path from the blower fan 4 to the air supply port 18, by increasing the wind speed of the air flow flowing on this path, it is possible to The released amount of ions increases, and even if the air volume by the blower fan 4 decreases, the released amount of ions can be maintained. the

In addition, in this embodiment, the air conditioning operation for deodorizing the indoor odor, the air conditioning operation for collecting dust, dust, pollen, etc. in the room, and the air conditioning operation for releasing ions are performed. The air conditioner (air cleaner with a humidification function) that performs the air conditioning operation for indoor humidification has been described, but it may be an air conditioner that performs at least one of the above four air conditioning operations, or other air conditioning operations.
