  • Patent number: 9732971
    Abstract: There are provided an air-conditioning device that can easily perform fan setting to obtain a proper air volume in accordance with external static pressure, and a method of controlling the air-conditioning device. There is executed air volume setting processing (S3 to S14) for measuring an actual rotation number (r_MAX) when a fan motor for driving an air blowing fan is set to a maximum output, and setting the rotation number corresponding to a target air volume of the air blowing fan under normal operation of the built-in type air-conditioning device.

  • Patent number: 7810200
    Abstract: An electric toothbrush wherein the number of revolution of a motor shaft is in match with the frequency of reciprocating motion of the brush. A motor (2) housed in a tubular case (1) is coupled to a reciprocating shaft (5) slidably extending through the forward end of the case by a scotch yoke mechanism (40) for converting one turn of rotation of the motor shaft (21) into one stroke of reciprocating pivotal movement of a pivotal body (4), and by motion conversion means (3) for converting one stroke of reciprocating movement of the pivotal body (4) into one stroke of linear reciprocating motion of the reciprocating shaft (5).

  • Publication number: 20100199512
    Abstract: The present invention provides a garment dryer including a heat pump device. The inventive garment dryer has an improved heat exchange efficiency without uneven airflow around a heat exchanger (a heat absorber and a radiator) of the heat pump device. A heat exchange air duct portion (22) is defined in a heat pump unit (14). A heat absorber (23) and a radiator (24) are provided as a heat exchanger in the heat exchange air duct portion (22). An upstream buffer space (33) for changing the flow direction of air to regulate the flow rate of the air is provided upstream of the heat absorber (23). A downstream buffer space (34) for regulating the flow rate of the air is provided downstream of the radiator (24). As a result, the airflow around the heat exchanger is uniformly regulated, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
