し、コスト高となる問題があつた。(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in this conventional case, unless the narrow-width suction grille is formed to have a width that is a common divisor of the widths of the suction grilles in air conditioners with different horsepower numbers, the narrow-width suction grille cannot be used. When multiple grills are combined, it is not possible to create a suction grill of a size corresponding to each horsepower, so even if it is an intake grill for an air conditioner with the minimum horsepower, multiple suction grills must be combined to form it. In addition, as the horsepower increases, the number of suction grills connected increases, which makes the work of assembling the suction grills complicated, requiring a great deal of effort, and increasing costs. There was a problem.
