Abstract

PURPOSE: To secure the required quantity of air whose heat is exchanged and reduce noises to be created from a gap between a nose face and a cross flow fan by providing a plurality of recesses on a nose face forming an air passage and along the longitudinal direction of a drain pan and providing substantially conical or semispherical protrusions on these recesses. CONSTITUTION: By driving a cross flow fan 10 for rotation, air sucked in through a front inlet port 4 and an upper inlet port 6 passes through a filter 8 and, after heat-exchanging is carried out by a heat exchanger 9, the air is blown from an outlet port 7 through an air passage 12. In this case, an air vortex flow is inevitably caused along a nose face 13 forming the air passage 12, but the air vortex flow occurring on the nose face 13 is broken and scattered to small vortex flows by protrusions 15 provided on recesses 14 of a drain pan 11. By this method, the required quantity of air whose heat is exchanged can be secured, and noises to be created from a gap between the nose face 13 and the cross flow fan 10 can be reduced.

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG. 5 as a conventional example, in an air conditioner that houses a cross-flow fan, air is blown from a blow-out port with the rotation of the cross-flow fan, but a nose surface 13 that forms the blow-out port. Often, a part of the wind blown from the cross flow fan collides with and is sucked into the fan again. That is, the nose surface 13 'causes an eddy of wind that is eccentric to the cross flow fan, and this vortex flow is a cause of noise called blade pitch noise, which changes depending on the shape of the nose surface 13' and the gap between the cross flow fan and the nose surface. To do. If this gap is made small, the air blowing efficiency will be increased, but the blade pitch noise will be large, and if this gap is made large, the blade pitch noise will be made small, but the air blowing efficiency will be lowered. In order to reduce this kind of noise, various measures have heretofore been made by making the nose surface 13 ′ uneven 14 ′ at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction or providing slits in the blowing direction, but this is sufficient. Was not.
