DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the description, like elements are denoted by like reference numerals and explanation for identical elements will not be repeated.
FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate a ventilating system according to a first embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the ventilating system of the invention is provided with a case 100, which is to be placed in the inside of a room. For example, the case 100 has an angular corner so as to be installed in the corner of a ceiling 10, as shown in FIG. 2. The case 100 is installed in such a manner that the top face of the case 100 is closely contacted with the ceiling 10, and the two lateral face thereof extended from the angular corner are closely contacted with a wall 20 of the inside of the room. This structure is very useful in case where between the ceiling 10 and the upstairs bottom face does not provide an adequate space to install a ventilation system case and ducts.
The case 100 is provided with an inlet 110 and an outlet 120, which are fluid-communicated with the interior of the room. In the ventilating system of the first embodiment, the inlet 110 is provided in the bottom face of the case 100 as shown in FIG. 1, and the outlet 120 is provided in a side face of the case 100 so as to face the interior of the room as shown in FIG. 2. In the case 100, the side face facing the interior of the room may have a rounded face, and the outlet 120 is disposed such that air can be supplied into the inside of the room in various directions.
As described above, the case 100 is fluid-communicatively connected with the interior of the room through the inlet 110 and the outlet 120 and fluid-communicatively connected with the outside of the room through a first flow passageway 1, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3. The first flow passageway 1 is defined by a duct 200 installed so as to pass through the wall 20, and one end thereof is fluid-communicated, for example, with the outside of the room and the other end thereof is connected with the case 100. At one end of the duct 200 is provided an opening 210 and a grill, through which the duct 200 is fluid-communicated with the outside of the room. The other end of the duct 200 is formed in such a way that its diameter is expanded gradually towards the case 100. Along the first flow passageway 1 defined by the duct 200, the outdoor air is flown inside the case 100, or the indoor air introduced into the case 100 through the inlet 110 is exhausted to the outside of the room.
Inside the case 100 is formed a second flow passageway 2 through which the outdoor air entered into the case 100 through the duct 100 is guided into the inside of the room, and a third flow passageway 3 through which the indoor air entered into the case 100 through the inlet 110 is guided into the duct 200. Here, the second flow passageway 2 fluid-communicates the first flow passageway 1 with the outlet 120, and the third flow passageway 3 fluid-communicates the first flow passageway 1 with the inlet 110.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the second and third flow passageways 2 and 3 are fluid-communicated and crossed with each other inside the case 100. In addition, a fan unit 300 is provided at the position where the second and third flow passageways 2 and 3 are fluid-communicated and crossed with each other. The fan unit 300 functions to suction the outdoor air through the first and second flow passageways 1 and 2 and supply it to the inside of the room, or suction the indoor air through the third flow passageway 3 and exhaust it to the outside of the room through the first flow passageway 1. The fan unit 300 will be further explained below, with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3.
The fan unit 300 is formed of a scroll casing 310 and a fan 330 provided inside the scroll casing 310. The scroll-casing 310 is provided, for example, upwards of the inside of the case 100, and the bottom face of the scroll casing 310 divides the inside space of the case 100 into a lower space and an upper space. Here, the upper space and the lower space may be divided by a partition plate 350, instead of the scroll casing 310. In this case, the partition plate 350 is installed in such a way as to cross horizontally the inside of the case 100 and the scroll casing 310 is mounted approximately at the middle of the partition wall 350.
On the other hand, the lower space is fluid-communicated with the inlet 110 and the upper space is fluid-communicated with the outlet 120. In addition, both the upper space and the lower space are fluid-communicated with the duct 200 defining the first flow passageway 1. The upper space and the lower space is not completely partitioned, but fluid-communicated with each other through a common inlet 311 formed approximately at the center of the scroll casing 310. Here, the second flow passageway 2 for guiding the outdoor air into the inside of the room is led from the place where the first flow passageway 1 and the lower space meet each other, passing the common inlet 311, until the outlet 120. The third flow passageway 3 for guiding the indoor air into the outside of the room is led from the inlet 110 via the common inlet 311 until the place where the first flow passageway 1 and the upper space meet each other.
The fan 330 is provided inside the case 100 and functions to suction the air in the lower space and discharge into the upper space. More specifically, the fan 330 is disposed in the upper space and installed such that the air in the lower space is suctioned along the axial direction through the common inlet 311, where the second and third flow passageways 2 and 3 are fluid-communicated with each other, and discharge it along the radial direction. The side face of the scroll casing 310 surrounds the side face of the fan 330 provided in the upper space, and also guides the air, which is discharged along the radial direction from the fan 330, towards the outlet 120 of the case 100 and the first duct 200. For this purpose, in the lateral side of the scroll casing 31 are provided a first outlet 313 fluid-communicated with the outlet 120 of the case 100 and a second outlet 315 fluid-communicated with the first duct 200.
Between the fan unit 300 and the exterior of the room is provided a first damper 410, which fluid-communicates the duct 200 alternately with the upper space or the lower space. More specifically, the first damper 410 is mounted on the partition plate 350 or the scroll casing 310, and functions to open alternately the second flow passageway 2 and the third flow passageway 3. As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, the first damper 410 is pivotably installed in the partition plate 350 and turned about a hinge to thereby open alternately the second flow passageway 2 and the third flow passageway 3. However, the invention is not limited to the above illustration. Alternatively, the partition plate 350 may be provided with a plurality of louvers installed in the upper and lower sides thereof so as to open selectively the second outlet 120 and the second flow passageway 2.
The first damper 410 installed as above closes the third flow passageway 3 formed in the upper space when the ventilating system is operated in an air-supply mode, as shown in FIG. 1. Then, as the fan 330 rotates, the outdoor air flows into the lower space of the case 100 through the first and second flow passageways 1 and 2, and the indoor air flows into the lower space through the inlet 110 and the third flow passageway 3. The outdoor air and the indoor air flown into the lower space is suctioned into the fan 330 through the common inlet 311, and thereafter discharged towards the first inlet 313 and the second inlet 315 in the upper space. Here, since the second inlet 315 is blocked by the first damper 410, the discharged air is supplied into the inside of the room through the first outlet 120.
The first damper 410 closes the second flow passageway 2 formed in the lower space, as shown in FIG. 3, when the ventilating system is operated in an air-exhaust mode. Then, as the fan 330 rotates, the indoor air flows into the lower space through the inlet 110 and the third flow passageway 3 and thereafter suctioned into the fan 330 through the common inlet 311. The air suctioned into the fan 330 is discharged towards the first inlet 313 and the second inlet 315 in the upper space. At this time, since the first inlet 313 and the second inlet 313 are both opened, the air discharged towards the first inlet 313 is supplied into the inside of the room, and air discharged towards the second outlet 120 is exhausted to the outside through the first flow passageway 1.
As described above, the first damper 410 controls the flow of the indoor air and the outdoor air when the ventilating system of the invention is operated in an air-supply mode and an air-exhaust mode. However, a good ventilating efficiency can not be achieved through the first damper 410 only. In other words, as described above, when in the air-supply mode, the indoor air, together with the outdoor air, is flown into the case 100 and supplied into the interior of the room, and thus a large amount of outdoor air can not be introduced into the inside of the room within a short period of time. In addition, when in the air-exhaust mode, part of the indoor air flown into the case 100 is exhausted into the outside of the room, and the remaining portion thereof is supplied back into the inside of the room. Accordingly, a large amount of indoor air cannot be exhausted to the outside in a short period of time. Thus, in order to solve this problem to thereby achieve a high ventilation efficiency, the case 100 is provided with a second damper 420 and a third damper 430 respectively in the inlet 110 and the outlet 120, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.
The second damper 420 is provided in the case 100 so as to open and close the inlet 110. More specifically, the second damper 420 closes the inlet 110 when the ventilating system is operated in an air-supply mode to supply the outdoor air inside the room, as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 3, in an air-exhaust mode to exhaust the indoor air into the outside of the room, the second damper opens the inlet 110. In addition, the third damper 430 is provided in the case 100 so as to open and close the outlet 120. More specifically, the third damper 430 opens the outlet 120 in the air-supply mode as shown in FIG. 1, and closes the outlet 120 in the air-exhaust mode as shown in FIG. 3.
On the other hand, inside the duct 200, i.e., in the first flow passageway 1 is further provided a heater 510, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The heater 510 heats the outdoor air being supplied into the inside of a room in winter time when the temperature of the outdoor air is lower, thereby enabling to supply an air having a temperature appropriate to the indoor. Furthermore, a filter 520 is further provided in the lower space of the case, specifically at the place where the second flow passageway 2 and the first flow passageway 1, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The filter 520 functions to filter the outdoor air being supplied into the inside of a room, when the ventilating system of the invention is operated in an air-supply mode.
As described above, the ventilating system of first embodiment having the above construction is operated in an air-supply mode and in an air-exhaust mode, which will be further explained below, in greater detail.
In the air-supply mode, as shown in FIG. 1, the first damper 410 blocks the duct 200 from the upper space where the fan 330 is provided, the second damper 420 blocks the inlet 110, and the third damper 430 opens the outlet 120. If the fan 330 is operated, the outdoor air is flown into the case 100 through the first flow passageway 1. At this time, in case of winter-time, the heater 510 heats up the outdoor air passing through the duct 200.
Due to the first damper 410, the outdoor air entered into the case 100 flows into the second flow passageway 2 formed in the lower space and is purified by the filter 520 installed in the second flow passageway 2. In addition, the outdoor air flowing along the second flow passageway 2 is suctioned in the axial direction of the fan 330 through the common inlet 311. Then, the fan 330 discharges the suctioned outdoor air towards the outlet 120 and the duct 200. Here, since the first damper 410 blocks the outdoor air moving towards the duct 200 from the upper space, the outdoor air discharged from the fan 330 is supplied, in its entirety, into the inside of the room through the outlet 120.
In the air-exhaust mode, as shown in FIG. 3, the first damper 410 blocks the duct 200 from the lower space where the filter 520 is provided, and the second damper 420 opens the inlet 110 and closes the outlet 120. If the fan 330 is operated, the indoor air is flown into the case 100 through the inlet 110. The indoor air entered into the case 100 moves along the second flow passageway 2 and flows towards the fan 330 through the common inlet 311. Then, the fan 330 discharges the indoor air towards the duct 200 and the outlet 120. At this time, the outlet 120 is closed by the third damper 430 and thus the indoor air flown into the fan 330 is discharged, in its entirety, into the outside of the room through the duct 200, as shown in FIG. 3.
FIGS. 4 to 7 illustrate a ventilating system according to a second embodiment of the invention. As shown in the figures, the ventilating system of the second embodiment has generally the same structure as that of the first embodiment, excepting the inlet 110 of the case. That is, in the previous embodiment, the case 110 is provided in the bottom face of the case, but in this embodiment the inlet 110 is provided in a lateral face of the case 100. Hereafter, the structure of the second embodiment will be described, focusing on features different from the first embodiment.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the inlet 110 is provided at the lower side of a lateral face of the case 110, and the outlet is provided at the upper side of a lateral face of the case 100. The inlet 110 and the outlet 120 are both fluid-communicated with the inside of a room and separated from each other by the scroll casing 310 or the partition plate 350. In the ventilating system of the second embodiment, the inlet 110 and the outlet 120 are installed adjacent to each other in the same face of the case 100. Therefore, in the ventilating system according to the second embodiment, the inlet 110 and the outlet 120 can be opened alternately by a single damper, dissimilar to the first embodiment. For this purpose, inside the case 100 is provided an additional damper, i.e., a fourth damper 440 for opening alternately the outlet 120 and the inlet 110. On the other hand, the outlet 120 and the inlet 110 may be configured so as to be opened and closed separately by the two dampers, similar to the first embodiment.
In an air-supply mode, the first damper 410 fluid-communicates the duct 200 with the lower space of the case 100 and prevents the air discharged from the fan 330 from entering the duct 200, as illustrated in FIG. 4. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the fourth damper 440 opens the outlet 120 and closes the inlet 110. When the fan unit 300 operates, the outdoor air are supplied into the inside of the room through the outlet 120 provided in a lateral face of the case 100 via the duct 200, the lower space, and the common inlet 311, as illustrated in FIG. 5.
In an air-exhaust mode, the first damper 410 blocks the lower space of the case 100 from the duct 200 and guides the air discharged from the fan 330 into the duct 200, as shown in FIG. 6. In addition, the fourth damper 440 closes the outlet 120 and opens the inlet 110, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. When the fan unit 300 is operated, the indoor air is flown into the case 100 through the inlet 110 provided in a lateral face of the case 100 and discharged into the outside of the room through the third flow passageway 3, the common inlet 311, the upper space, and the duct 200.
As described above, in the ventilating system of the invention, a single fan unit is used for supplying the outdoor air into the inside of a room or exhausting the indoor air into the outside of the room. In addition, according to the invention, a single duct is connected to the case thereof so as to alternately supply or exhaust the air. Therefore, the present invention can provide a small and less expensive ventilating system, as compared with the conventional ones. In addition, the noise and power consumption by the fan can be reduced, as compared with the convention ones having plural fans. Furthermore, the ventilating system of the invention has a heater and a filter. Thus, even in winter time, an air heated up to an appropriate temperature can be supplied, and a purified air can be supplied to the inside of the room, thereby providing pleasant indoor environments.
The forgoing embodiments are merely exemplary and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. The present teachings can be readily applied to other types of apparatuses. The description of the present invention is intended to be illustrative, and not to limit the scope of the claims. Many alternatives, modifications, and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
