Abstract
Description
本発明は空気調和機に係り、特に吹出口と風向板の構造に関する。 The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly to the structure of an air outlet and a wind direction plate.
昨今、室内の壁面に取り付けられる空気調和機の室内機は、設置する室内空間に調和するデザインが好まれている。そのため、本体色には、室内の壁紙に多く使われている白色やベージュ色などの明度の高い色が採用されている。また、形態においては、吸込口や吹出口による凹凸や部品の間に生じる隙間が目立たないように、図６に示すように室内機９０の前面をフラット形状の開閉パネル９１で覆い隠している。これにより、使用者には室内空間に色彩と形態が調和しているように視認され美観の向上がなされている。（特許文献１参照） In recent years, an indoor unit of an air conditioner that is attached to a wall surface in a room is preferred to have a design that harmonizes with the indoor space to be installed. For this reason, high-brightness colors such as white and beige, which are often used for indoor wallpaper, are used as the main body color. Further, in the embodiment, the front surface of the indoor unit 90 is covered with a flat opening / closing panel 91 as shown in FIG. 6 so that unevenness caused by the suction port and the air outlet and a gap generated between the parts are not conspicuous. As a result, the user visually recognizes that the color and form are in harmony with the indoor space, and the aesthetic appearance is improved. (See Patent Document 1)
しかしながら、空気調和機が運転を開始すると、室内機９０の開閉パネル９１は図示しない開閉パネル用の駆動装置により上方または前方へ可動する。これにより、開閉パネル９１で隠されていた吸込口９２や吹出口９３が現れる。特に吹出口９３は上下風向板９４も可動することで、吹出口９３より奥に配置されている左右風向板９５や上下風向板９４の支軸９６等が現れ非常に乱雑な印象を与える。また吹出口９３は使用者が見上げた場合によく見える室内機９０の前面下部に配置されていることで、室内機９０の外観の印象を悪くさせていた。 However, when the air conditioner starts operation, the open / close panel 91 of the indoor unit 90 is moved upward or forward by a drive device for the open / close panel (not shown). Thereby, the suction inlet 92 and the blower outlet 93 which were concealed with the opening-and-closing panel 91 appear. In particular, the air outlet 93 also moves the up-and-down air direction plate 94, and thus the left and right air-direction plates 95 and the support shaft 96 of the up-and-down air direction plate 94 appear behind the air outlet 93 and give a very messy impression. Moreover, the blower outlet 93 is disposed in the lower front portion of the indoor unit 90 that can be seen well when the user looks up, thereby deteriorating the appearance of the indoor unit 90.
本発明は以上述べた問題点を解決し、運転停止時には吹出口と風向板が使用者から視認されず、また運転時においても、吹出口内部が視認されづらくなることで美観の向上を図る空気調和機を提供する。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems, and the air outlet and the wind direction plate are not visually recognized by the user when the operation is stopped, and the air that improves the aesthetics by making it difficult to visually recognize the inside of the air outlet even during the operation. Provide a harmony machine.
上述した課題を解決するために本発明は、筐体と、同筐体の上部に吸込口を、下部に吹出口を設け、前記吸込口と前記吹出口を結ぶ送風路に送風ファンと熱交換器と、前記吸込口から吸い込まれ前記吹出口から吹き出される空気の風向を偏向する上下風向板とを備えた空気調和機において、前記吹出口は、前記筐体の底面側よりも上方に位置し、前記吹出口の周縁部から少なくとも前後にそれぞれ下方へ広がる傾斜面を備え、前記上下風向板は前記空気調和機の運転停止時に前記吹出口を覆うように近接することを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a housing, a suction port in the upper part of the housing, a blower outlet in the lower part, and a heat exchange with a blower fan in a blower passage connecting the suction port and the blower outlet. And an air conditioner including an upper and lower airflow direction plate that deflects the airflow direction of air sucked from the air inlet and blown out from the air outlet, the air outlet is located above the bottom surface side of the housing And an inclined surface that extends downward at least forward and backward from the peripheral edge of the air outlet, and the upper and lower wind direction plates are close to each other so as to cover the air outlet when the operation of the air conditioner is stopped.
また、前記上下風向板は駆動機構により、前記送風路から吊り下げられるように配置されるとともに前後方向へ回動する態様も含まれる。 Moreover, the said up-and-down wind direction board is arrange | positioned so that it may be suspended from the said ventilation path by a drive mechanism, and the aspect rotated in the front-back direction is also contained.
さらに、前記上下風向板は、前記空気調和機の運転停止時に、少なくとも前後に前記傾斜面に平行な風向板傾斜部を備えた態様も含まれる。 Furthermore, the aspect in which the said up-and-down wind direction board was equipped with the wind direction board inclination part parallel to the said inclined surface at least forward and backward at the time of the operation stop of the said air conditioner is also contained.
上記のように構成した本発明の空気調和機は、吹出口と風向板が筐体の底面側よりも上方に位置し、運転停止時に吹出口を上下風向板で覆うことで、吹出口と風向板が使用者から視認されない。また運転時においても、吹出口内部が視認されづらくなることで美観の向上を図ることができる。 In the air conditioner of the present invention configured as described above, the air outlet and the wind direction plate are located above the bottom surface side of the housing, and the air outlet and the wind direction are covered by the vertical air direction plate when the operation is stopped. The board is not visible to the user. Further, even during operation, it is difficult to visually recognize the inside of the air outlet, so that the aesthetic appearance can be improved.
以下、本発明を実施するための形態を、添付図面に基づいた実施例として詳細に説明する。 EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated in detail as an Example based on an accompanying drawing.

なお、図１において室内機１の壁面Ｋ側にある面を背面とし、その対面を前面とし、天井Ｔ側にある面を天面とし、天面の対面を底面とし、図１の右側の側面を右側面とし、右側面の対面を左側面として以下説明する。また、内部部品についても同様に説明する。 1, the surface on the wall surface K side of the indoor unit 1 is the back surface, the facing surface is the front surface, the surface on the ceiling T side is the top surface, the facing surface of the top surface is the bottom surface, and the right side surface in FIG. Is the right side and the opposite side of the right side is the left side. The internal parts will be described in the same manner.
筐体１０の前面と左右側面と天面は、前面パネル１１と背面パネル１２で覆われる。前面パネル１１と背面パネル１２は筐体１０の右側面と左側面の中央を通る分割線で前後に分割される。前面パネル１１と背面パネル１２の天面（上部）は開口部を備え、これが吸込口１４となる。
また、筐体１０は背面パネル１２を備えず前面パネル１１が奥行のある箱状で壁面Ｋ近傍まで形成する構成でもよい。
The front surface, the left and right side surfaces, and the top surface of the housing 10 are covered with a front panel 11 and a back panel 12. The front panel 11 and the rear panel 12 are divided into front and rear by a dividing line passing through the center of the right side surface and the left side surface of the housing 10. The top surface (upper part) of the front panel 11 and the back panel 12 has an opening, which serves as a suction port 14.
Further, the housing 10 may have a configuration in which the back panel 12 is not provided and the front panel 11 is formed in a box shape with a depth up to the vicinity of the wall surface K.
筐体１０の底面は、底面パネル２０で覆われるが、これに限らず、底面パネル２０を用いずに後述するケーシング３０が筐体１０の底面まで形成する構成でもよく、また、前面パネル１１と背面パネル１２がそれぞれ底面パネル２０まで兼ねる構成でもよい。
底面パネル２０は、筐体１０の長手方向に平行な横長矩形状の吹出口１６を備える。吹出口１６は運転停止時に後述する上下風向板４０で覆われて隠される。
The bottom surface of the casing 10 is covered with the bottom panel 20, but the configuration is not limited thereto, and a casing 30 described later may be formed up to the bottom surface of the casing 10 without using the bottom panel 20. The back panel 12 may be configured to double up to the bottom panel 20.
The bottom panel 20 includes a horizontally long rectangular outlet 16 parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing 10. The blower outlet 16 is covered and hidden by an up-and-down wind direction plate 40 which will be described later when the operation is stopped.
前面パネル１１は平面状の前面と左右角隅に曲面を備え、下端の底面パネル２０との合わせ目を覆う飾り板１５を備える。室内機１の運転時には飾り板１５の前面右隅が複数箇所発光する。これが運転状態を知らせる表示部１５１となる。 The front panel 11 has a flat front surface and curved surfaces at left and right corners, and a decorative plate 15 that covers the joint with the bottom panel 20 at the lower end. When the indoor unit 1 is operated, the front right corner of the decorative board 15 emits light at a plurality of locations. This is the display unit 151 that informs the driving state.
筐体１０の内部には、図３に示すように筐体１０の長手方向と平行に配置されたクロスフローファン型の送風ファン１７と、送風ファン１７の周囲を囲む２段の前方熱交換器１８１と後方熱交換器１８２とからなる熱交換器１８とを備える。熱交換器１８と吸込口１４の間にはフィルタ１３を備える。また、吸込口１４と吹出口１６を結ぶ送風路１９の送風ファン１７から吹出口１６までを形成するケーシング３０を備える。送風ファン１７は筐体１０内の右側で図示しないファンモータに軸支される。ファンモータと熱交換器１８はケーシング３０に支持される。ケーシング３０は、送風ファン１７に空気を導く背面側のリアガイダ３１１から吹出口１６までを結ぶ下壁３１と、送風ファン１７に空気を導く前面側のスタビライザ３２１から吹出口１６までを結ぶ上壁３２とで送風路１９の一部を形成する。上壁３２は前方熱交換器１８１のドレンパン３２２を兼ね、下壁３１のリアガイダ３１１から背面側に延出する壁が後方熱交換器１８２のドレンパン３１２となる。 Inside the housing 10, as shown in FIG. 3, a cross-flow fan type blower fan 17 arranged in parallel with the longitudinal direction of the housing 10 and a two-stage forward heat exchanger surrounding the blower fan 17. 181 and a rear heat exchanger 182 are provided. A filter 13 is provided between the heat exchanger 18 and the suction port 14. Moreover, the casing 30 which forms from the ventilation fan 17 of the ventilation path 19 which connects the suction inlet 14 and the blower outlet 16 to the blower outlet 16 is provided. The blower fan 17 is pivotally supported by a fan motor (not shown) on the right side in the housing 10. The fan motor and heat exchanger 18 are supported by the casing 30. The casing 30 includes a lower wall 31 that connects the rear-side rear guider 311 that guides air to the blower fan 17 to the blower outlet 16, and an upper wall 32 that connects the front-side stabilizer 321 that guides air to the blower fan 17 and the blower outlet 16. A part of the air passage 19 is formed. The upper wall 32 also serves as the drain pan 322 of the front heat exchanger 181, and the wall extending from the rear guider 311 of the lower wall 31 to the back side becomes the drain pan 312 of the rear heat exchanger 182.
送風ファン１７と吹出口１６の間の送風路１９内には左右風向板５０が設けられる。左右風向板５０は送風ファン１７の軸方向に対し垂直方向に平行に複数配置され、左右風向板５０の前方を駆動軸（図示なし）に軸支され、左右風向板５０の後方を下壁３１に軸支される。駆動軸（図示なし）が左右へ移動することで左右風向板５０の前方が移動して、吹出口１６から吹き出される空気の流れを左右方向に偏向する。 A left and right airflow direction plate 50 is provided in the blower passage 19 between the blower fan 17 and the blower outlet 16. A plurality of left and right wind direction plates 50 are arranged in parallel to the axial direction of the blower fan 17, the front of the left and right wind direction plates 50 are pivotally supported by a drive shaft (not shown), and the rear side of the left and right wind direction plates 50 is the lower wall 31. Is pivotally supported. As the drive shaft (not shown) moves to the left and right, the front of the left and right wind direction plates 50 moves to deflect the flow of air blown from the outlet 16 in the left and right direction.
室内機１０は図示しないファンモータにより送風ファン１７が回転することで吸込口１６から取り入れられた室内空気を、熱交換器１８で冷媒と熱交換して冷気Ｃまたは暖気Ｗに換え、左右風向板５０と後述する上下風向板４０で風向調整をして吹出口１６から空調室に吹き出す。 The indoor unit 10 exchanges the indoor air taken in from the suction port 16 with the refrigerant by the heat exchanger 18 to cool air C or warm air W by rotating the blower fan 17 by a fan motor (not shown), and the right and left wind direction plates The wind direction is adjusted by 50 and an up-and-down wind direction plate 40 which will be described later and blown out from the outlet 16 to the air conditioning room.
底面パネル２０は図３において底面の下端の外周縁部２０１から高さｈ１上方の位置に前述した吹出口１６を備える。吹出口１６の周囲には、吹出口１６の周縁部１６１から下方へ広がる傾斜面２１を備える。傾斜面２１は平面状の前スロープ２１１と後スロープ２１２と図１に示す右スロープ２１３と左スロープ２１４と、これらを繋ぐ四方の角部とからなる。また少なくとも傾斜面２１は、前スロープ２１１と後スロープ２１２だけでもよい。また、傾斜面２１は平面状ではなく、用途に合わせ曲面状に形成されてもよい。
図１と図３において傾斜面２１は、底面パネル２０の下端の外周縁部２０１と連結しているが、これに限らず底面パネル２０の底面に水平面を設け、水平面上に凹部を設け、凹部の周囲が傾斜面２１となる構成でもよい。
The bottom panel 20 includes the above-described air outlet 16 at a position above the outer peripheral edge 201 at the lower end of the bottom surface in FIG. Around the blower outlet 16, an inclined surface 21 that extends downward from the peripheral edge 161 of the blower outlet 16 is provided. The inclined surface 21 includes a flat front slope 211, a rear slope 212, a right slope 213 and a left slope 214 shown in FIG. 1, and four corners connecting these. Further, at least the inclined surface 21 may be only the front slope 211 and the rear slope 212. In addition, the inclined surface 21 may be formed in a curved surface shape according to the use, not in a flat shape.
In FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the inclined surface 21 is connected to the outer peripheral edge portion 201 at the lower end of the bottom panel 20, but not limited thereto, a horizontal plane is provided on the bottom surface of the bottom panel 20, and a concave portion is provided on the horizontal plane. A configuration in which the periphery of the surface becomes the inclined surface 21 may be employed.
図３において吹出口１６の下方で底面の下端の外周縁部２０１から高さｈ２で少なくとも傾斜面２１の前スロープ２１１と後スロープ２１２にそれぞれ近接する位置に上下風向板４０が配置される。上下風向板４０は平板形状であるが、これに限らず前後方向で下方へ膨出させた断面円弧形状でもよい。また、図３では上下風向板４０は配置された状態で前後が水平であるが、これに限らず前方または後方へ傾斜した形状でもよい。上下風向板４０の奥行方向の幅ｄ２は吹出口１６の奥行方向の幅ｄ１よりも大きく、上下風向板４０は少なくとも前後に傾斜面２１の前スロープ２１１と後スロープ２１２にそれぞれ平行な風向板傾斜部４１を備える。
また図示はしないが、上下風向板４０は傾斜面２１の右スロープ２１３と左スロープ２１４にそれぞれ近接する位置に配置され、右スロープ２１３と左スロープ２１４にそれぞれ平行な風向板傾斜部４１を備える。
In FIG. 3, the vertical wind direction plate 40 is disposed at a position near the front slope 211 and the rear slope 212 of the inclined surface 21 at a height h2 below the outer peripheral edge 201 at the lower end of the bottom surface below the outlet 16. The up-and-down airflow direction plate 40 has a flat plate shape, but is not limited thereto, and may have a circular arc shape that bulges downward in the front-rear direction. Further, in FIG. 3, the front and rear wind direction plates 40 are horizontal in a state in which they are arranged, but the shape is not limited to this and may be inclined forward or backward. The width d2 in the depth direction of the up / down wind direction plate 40 is larger than the width d1 in the depth direction of the outlet 16, and the up / down wind direction plate 40 is inclined at least in the front / rear direction to the front slope 211 and the rear slope 212 of the inclined surface 21. The unit 41 is provided.
Although not shown, the up-and-down wind direction plate 40 is disposed at a position close to the right slope 213 and the left slope 214 of the inclined surface 21, and includes a wind direction plate inclined portion 41 parallel to the right slope 213 and the left slope 214, respectively.
空気調和機の運転停止時には、上下風向板４０は吹出口１６の周縁部１６１を覆うように近接させて位置することにより、吹出口１６は外部から見えなくなる。また、上下風向板４０の周囲は傾斜面２１に合わせ傾斜していることから傾斜面２１との隙間が小さく目立たなくなり、これにより空気調和機の使用者には吹出口１６が視認されなくなるとともに、一見すると傾斜面２１と上下風向板４０は別部品ではなく一体であるように見える。これにより、外観の印象がよくなり美観が向上される。 When the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the up-and-down wind direction plate 40 is positioned so as to cover the peripheral portion 161 of the air outlet 16 so that the air outlet 16 cannot be seen from the outside. Moreover, since the periphery of the up-and-down wind direction board 40 inclines according to the inclined surface 21, the clearance gap between the inclined surface 21 becomes small and is not conspicuous, and thereby the air outlet 16 is not visually recognized by the user of the air conditioner. At first glance, it appears that the inclined surface 21 and the vertical wind direction plate 40 are not separate parts but are integrated. Thereby, the impression of the appearance is improved and the beauty is improved.
次に上下風向板４０の駆動機構４について説明する。駆動機構４は、上壁３２から下方に向かって突設されるアーム支持部４２と、アーム支持部４２の内部に収納されるアーム４３と、ドレンパン３２２の下でアーム支持部４２の対面に設けた駆動装置４４とからなる。
上下風向板４０は吹出口１６側の面に２か所アーム受部４５を備える。アーム４３は上下風向板側の先端に回転軸４３１を備え、回転軸４３１をアーム受部４５に軸支させる。これにより図３（ｂ）に示すように駆動装置４４がアーム支持部４２の内部に収納されるアーム４３を上下に移動させることで、上下風向板４０は上下に移動可能となる。また、アーム支持部４２内には風向変更ワイヤー（図示なし）も収納し、風向変更ワイヤーで上下風向板４０の前後の角度を回動させることができる。
尚、駆動機構４はこれに限らずダンパーを使った機構でもよく、さらにアーム４３ではなくワイヤーだけを使った機構でも可能である。この場合は、ワイヤーがアームよりも細く見えにくくなることから、運転時も吹出口１６から上下風向板４０を吊っているものが見えず、上下風向板４０が宙に浮いているように見え、さらに美観が向上する。
また、アーム支持部４２は上壁３２から突設されるとしたが、これに限らず下壁３１から突設されてもよいし、また上壁３２と下壁３１を連結して設けてもよい。
Next, the drive mechanism 4 for the up / down wind direction plate 40 will be described. The drive mechanism 4 is provided on the arm support 42 facing the arm support 42 under the drain pan 322, the arm support 42 projecting downward from the upper wall 32, the arm 43 housed inside the arm support 42. Drive device 44.
The vertical wind direction plate 40 includes two arm receiving portions 45 on the surface on the outlet 16 side. The arm 43 is provided with a rotation shaft 431 at the tip on the side of the vertical wind direction plate, and the rotation shaft 431 is pivotally supported by the arm receiving portion 45. As a result, as shown in FIG. 3B, the driving device 44 moves the arm 43 accommodated in the arm support portion 42 up and down, so that the up and down wind direction plate 40 can move up and down. Further, a wind direction changing wire (not shown) is also housed in the arm support portion 42, and the front and rear angles of the vertical wind direction plate 40 can be rotated by the wind direction changing wire.
The drive mechanism 4 is not limited to this, and may be a mechanism using a damper, and may be a mechanism using only a wire instead of the arm 43. In this case, since the wire is less visible than the arm, it is difficult to see what is hanging the vertical wind direction plate 40 from the outlet 16 during operation, and the vertical wind direction plate 40 seems to be floating in the air. Further aesthetics are improved.
Further, the arm support portion 42 is projected from the upper wall 32, but is not limited thereto, and may be projected from the lower wall 31, or the upper wall 32 and the lower wall 31 may be connected. Good.
次に冷房運転状態について図４を基に説明する。冷房運転が開始されると、上下風向板４０は駆動機構４によってアーム４３が降下し底面パネル２０の外周縁部２０１近傍まで下がる。図４（ａ）（ｃ）では上下風向板４０は水平状態である。冷気Ｃ１はケーシング３０の上壁３２と底面パネル２０の前スロープ２１１に沿って前方に導かれる。また、後スロープ２１２によって壁面Ｋに向かっても冷気Ｃ２が吹出され、壁面Ｋに沿って壁面Ｋを冷やし部屋全体を冷房する。さらに上下風向板４０はアーム４３によって吊下げられた状態であることから、右側方と左側方にも冷気Ｃ４が吹き出される。
部屋全体が冷房されると、図４（ｂ）に示すように、上下風向板４０は若干前方が下方へ傾斜するように駆動機構４によって回動する。冷気Ｃ３は前方に遠くまで吹き出される。
Next, the cooling operation state will be described with reference to FIG. When the cooling operation is started, the arm 43 is lowered by the driving mechanism 4 in the vertical wind direction plate 40 and is lowered to the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge 201 of the bottom panel 20. 4 (a) and 4 (c), the up / down wind direction plate 40 is in a horizontal state. The cool air C <b> 1 is guided forward along the upper wall 32 of the casing 30 and the front slope 211 of the bottom panel 20. Also, the cool air C2 is blown out toward the wall surface K by the rear slope 212, and the wall surface K is cooled along the wall surface K to cool the entire room. Further, since the up / down wind direction plate 40 is suspended by the arm 43, the cool air C4 is blown out to the right side and the left side.
When the entire room is cooled, as shown in FIG. 4B, the vertical wind direction plate 40 is rotated by the drive mechanism 4 so that the front is slightly inclined downward. The cold air C3 is blown out far ahead.
次に暖房運転状態について図５を基に説明する。暖房運転が開始されると、上下風向板４０は駆動機構４によって底面パネル２０の外周縁部２０１よりも下の位置まで下降される。図５（ａ）（ｃ）では上下風向板４０は水平状態である。吹き出される口は冷房運転状態よりも開口されていることから、暖気Ｗ１はケーシング３０の上壁３２と底面パネル２０の前スロープ２１１に沿って冷気Ｃ１よりも下方に導かれる。また、後スロープ２１２によって壁面Ｋに向かっても暖気Ｗ２が吹出されるが、やはり冷気Ｃ２よりも下に吹出され、壁面Ｋに沿って壁面Ｋを温め部屋全体を暖房する。さらに上下風向板４０はアーム４３によって吊下げられた状態であることから、右側方と左側方にも暖気Ｗ４が吹き出される。
部屋全体が暖房されると、図５（ｂ）に示すように、上下風向板４０は冷房運転時に比べ前方が大きく下方へ傾斜するように駆動機構４によって回動する。上下風向板４０はケーシング３０の上壁３２と平行になる位置まで回動し、上下風向板４０の後端は吹出口１６の周縁部１６１と連なる位置まで上がる。これにより、送風路１０が延長した状態となり、暖気Ｗ３は下方に吹き出される。
Next, the heating operation state will be described with reference to FIG. When the heating operation is started, the vertical wind direction plate 40 is lowered by the drive mechanism 4 to a position below the outer peripheral edge 201 of the bottom panel 20. 5 (a) and 5 (c), the up / down wind direction plate 40 is in a horizontal state. Since the outlet to be blown out is opened more than in the cooling operation state, the warm air W1 is guided below the cool air C1 along the upper wall 32 of the casing 30 and the front slope 211 of the bottom panel 20. Further, the warm air W2 is blown out toward the wall surface K by the rear slope 212, but is also blown out below the cold air C2, and the wall surface K is warmed along the wall surface K to heat the entire room. Further, since the up / down wind direction plate 40 is suspended by the arm 43, the warm air W4 is also blown out to the right side and the left side.
When the entire room is heated, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the up / down airflow direction plate 40 is rotated by the drive mechanism 4 so that the front is largely inclined downward as compared with the cooling operation. The vertical wind direction plate 40 rotates to a position parallel to the upper wall 32 of the casing 30, and the rear end of the vertical wind direction plate 40 rises to a position continuous with the peripheral edge 161 of the outlet 16. Thereby, it will be in the state where the ventilation path 10 extended and the warm air W3 blows off below.
図４（ａ）の冷房運転状態および図５（ａ）暖房運転状態のいずれも使用者の位置からは吹出口１６は上下風向板４０により隠されているように見え、図２のように内部までは視認されにくくなる。また、同様に図４（ｂ）の冷房運転状態および図５（ｂ）暖房運転状態においても、吹出口１６自体が筐体１０の奥側に位置し、且つ左右風向板５０が吹出口１６よりもさらに奥まった位置にあることから、吹出口１６の内部までは視認されにくくなる。 In both the cooling operation state of FIG. 4 (a) and the heating operation state of FIG. 5 (a), the air outlet 16 appears to be hidden by the up-and-down air direction plate 40 from the position of the user. Until it becomes difficult to see. Similarly, also in the cooling operation state of FIG. 4B and the heating operation state of FIG. 5B, the air outlet 16 itself is located on the back side of the housing 10, and the left and right airflow direction plates 50 are from the air outlet 16. Since it is in a deeper position, it is difficult to visually recognize the inside of the air outlet 16.
以上の構成により、室内機１の運転停止時には、上下風向板４０は吹出口１６を覆い隠すように位置することにより、吹出口１６は見えなくなる。さらに、上下風向板４０の周囲は傾斜面２１に合わせ傾斜していることから傾斜面２１との隙間が小さく目立たなくなり、これにより空気調和機の使用者には吹出口１６が視認されなくなるとともに、傾斜面２１と上下風向板４０は別部品ではなく一体であるように見え、美観が向上される。
また、室内機１は、運転時においても吹出口１６が筐体１０の奥側に位置することから、吹出口１６の内部までは視認されにくくなり、美観の向上が図れる。
さらに、従来例のように運転時において開閉パネルを可動しなくても美観を維持でき、さらに大型部品である開閉パネル用の駆動装置も必要としないことでコストの削減にもなる。
With the above configuration, when the operation of the indoor unit 1 is stopped, the vertical airflow direction plate 40 is positioned so as to cover the air outlet 16, so that the air outlet 16 becomes invisible. Furthermore, since the periphery of the up-and-down wind direction plate 40 is inclined according to the inclined surface 21, the gap with the inclined surface 21 becomes small and inconspicuous, thereby making the air outlet 16 invisible to the user of the air conditioner, The inclined surface 21 and the up-and-down wind direction plate 40 appear not to be separate parts but to be integrated, and the aesthetic appearance is improved.
Moreover, since the blower outlet 16 is located in the back | inner side of the housing | casing 10, the indoor unit 1 becomes difficult to visually recognize even the inside of the blower outlet 16, and can improve the beauty | look.
Further, the aesthetic appearance can be maintained without moving the open / close panel during operation as in the conventional example, and the drive device for the open / close panel, which is a large component, is not required, thereby reducing the cost.
