Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable sending a flow of air directly downward by a method wherein one of louvers positioned below is turned by a driving device from the position of a narrowed opening toward separation from the other louver in opposition to the force of an elastic device connecting a link with the supporting part of the louver so that the two louvers are made to open directly downward. CONSTITUTION:A wind direction controlling device 10 has two louvers 1, 2, which are pivotally movable and arranged at an outlet 12 formed under a front panel 11. One louver 1 of them, positioned above relative to the other, when turned is brought to a stop at a position directly under a stopper 16 which, projecting from a supporting plate 15 for a drain pan 14 under the heat exchanger 13, stops the turn. When a motor is actuated for the turn, the louver 1 strikes against the stopper 16 on the supporting plate 15 and is fixed and only the louver 2 turns in the direction of separating from the other louver 1 in opposition to the force of a coil spring 22 connecting a link 19 with the supporting part 18 of the louver; as a result, the two louvers 1, 2 are placed downwardly parallel to each other and send a flow of air directly downward.

On the other hand, the louver 2 located below the air outlet 12 has
As shown in FIG. 2, a support portion 18 is integrally provided with a horizontal shaft 17 projecting thereon to which a rotating shaft of a drive device (not shown) is connected. One end of a link having four spring housing sections provided on its outer peripheral surface is rotatably attached to the horizontal shaft 17. The pin 20 provided on the link 19 and the pin 21 provided on the support portion 18 of the louver 2 are connected by a coil spring 22. The stepped portion (not shown) provided on one of the links and the engagement stepped portion (not shown) provided on the support portion 18 are in a position such that the two louvers are in contact with each other in the closed position, and the louvers are always in contact with each other in the closed position. The action of the coil spring 22 which urges the louver 2 toward the louver 1 is limited. This coil spring 22 allows the two louvers 1 and 2 to move simultaneously. Furthermore, in the position shown in FIG. 3(b), the louver 1 hits the stopper 16 and stops at that position, but by operating the motor thereafter, only the louver 2 moves until it reaches the position shown in FIG. 3(c). i.e. 3rd(b)
Between the figure and FIG. 3(C), the tension of the coil spring 22 is set to be smaller than the motor torque so that only the louver 2 moves.
