When the floor-standing air conditioner 1 starts operation, the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 move, and the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 are opened. At this time, the first flap motor 50 and the second flap motor 70 are driven, the first vertical flap 51 rotates around the first rotation axis AX1, and the second vertical flap 71 rotates around the second rotation axis AX2. Rotate. The first vertical flap 51 rotates clockwise in a top view, and the right end portion of the first plate portion 52 located inside in the fully closed state moves forward. Thus, the 1st vertical flap 51 rotates so that the inner side edge part of the 1st board part 52 of a fully closed state may adjoin to the outer side edge part side of the 1st blower outlet 12. FIG. Further, the second vertical flap 71 rotates counterclockwise in the top view, and the left end portion of the second plate portion 72 located inside in the fully closed state moves forward. Thus, the 2nd vertical flap 71 moves so that the inner side edge part of the 2nd board part 72 of a fully closed state may adjoin to the outer side edge part side of the 2nd blower outlet 13. FIG. The control unit 10 can open the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 to a desired opening degree by controlling the first flap motor 50 and the second flap motor 70. For example, the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 can be opened in a first open state, a second open state, and a third open state as shown in FIG. In the first open state, as shown in FIG. 9A, the front end of the first plate portion 52 and the front end of the second plate portion 72 face inward. At this time, the front end portion of the first plate portion 52 is located on the inner side, that is, on the right side of the center of the first blower outlet 12, and the rear end portion is located on the outer side, that is, on the left side of the center of the first blower outlet 12. is doing. In this first open state, the air blown from the first blower outlet 12 and the second blower outlet 13 is gathered and blown out in the central direction of the floor-standing air conditioner 1. As shown in FIG. 9B, the second open state is a state where the front end of the first plate portion 52 and the front end of the second plate portion 72 face the front. At this time, the 1st board part 52 and the 2nd board part 72 will be in a state substantially parallel to the direction perpendicular | vertical to a front. In this state, the first plate portion 52 is located outside the first rotation axis AX <b> 1 and located outside the center of the first outlet 12. Further, the second plate portion 72 is located outside the second rotation axis AX <b> 2 and located outside the center of the second outlet 13. In this second state, the air blown from the first blower outlet 12 and the second blower outlet 13 is blown straight out in the front direction. As shown in FIG. 9C, the third open state is a state in which the first plate portion 52 and the second plate portion 72 are fully opened, and the front end portion of the first plate portion 52 and the second plate. The front end of the portion 72 faces outward. At this time, the front side end portion of the first plate portion 52 is located outside the outer end portion of the first air outlet 12, and the rear side end portion is located inside the center of the first air outlet 12. is doing. The front end portion of the second plate portion 72 is located outside the outer end portion of the second air outlet 13, and the rear end portion is located inside the center of the first air outlet 12. . In the third open state, the air blown from the first blower outlet 12 and the second blower outlet 13 is blown widely outward.

In addition, the opening degree of the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 is not only opened in three stages from the first open state to the third open state, but may be opened at an intermediate opening degree. Good. In addition, the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 can be opened not only in stages but also in arbitrary openings.
Further, in the floor-mounted air conditioner 1, the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 not only move symmetrically as shown in FIG. 9, but also the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 The flap 71 can be moved separately asymmetrically to open the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13. For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the first vertical flap 51 can be fully closed and the second vertical flap 71 can be opened to the third open state. Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the first vertical flap 51 can be opened in the first open state and the second vertical flap 71 can be opened in the third open state.

In addition, when the 1st vertical flap 51 and the 2nd vertical flap 71 close the 1st blower outlet 12 and the 2nd blower outlet 13, they move to the reverse direction.
[Operation of first horizontal flap and second horizontal flap]
In this floor-mounted air conditioner 1, the first horizontal flap group G1 to the third horizontal flap group G3 and the fourth horizontal flap group G4 to the sixth horizontal flap group G6 individually set the angles of the horizontal flaps 80 and 90, respectively. Can be changed. For this reason, the user can set the direction of each flap 80, 90 to a desired angle. For example, as shown in FIG. 11A, all of the first horizontal flap group G1 to the third horizontal flap group G3 are set upward, or as shown in FIG. 11B, the first horizontal flap group G1 is set. To the third horizontal flap group G3 can all be set downward. When the first horizontal flap group G1 to the third horizontal flap group G3 are all set upward, the air blown from the first outlet 12 is blown upward. For this reason, it is effective when it is desired to blow cold air upward during cooling. Further, when all of the first horizontal flap group G1 to the third horizontal flap group G3 are set downward, the air blown from the first air outlet 12 blows downward. For this reason, it is effective when it is desired to blow out warm air downward during heating. The same applies to the fourth horizontal flap group G4 to the sixth horizontal flap group G6.

  Further, since the first horizontal flap group G1 to the sixth horizontal flap group G6 can be independently changed in direction, even if the horizontal flaps 80 and 90 are set to face different directions as shown in FIG. Good. For example, in FIG. 12A, the first horizontal flap group G1 is set upward, the second horizontal flap group G2 is set frontward, and the third horizontal flap group G3 is set downward. For this reason, air is blown upward from the upper part S1 of the first blower outlet 12, air is blown straight forward from the middle part S2, and air is blown downward from the lower part S3. Thereby, air can be blown widely in the vertical direction D2, and an air flow that wraps the room from above and below can be realized. Further, as shown in FIG. 12B, the first horizontal flap group G1 is set downward, the second horizontal flap group G2 is set frontward, and the third horizontal flap group G3 is set upward. Good. In this case, air is blown downward from the upper part S1 of the first blower outlet 12, air is blown straight forward from the middle part S2, and air is blown upward from the lower part S3. Thereby, air can be blown out so that it may be collected in the front direction, and the flow of air can be made to reach far away. The same applies to the fourth horizontal flap group G4, the fifth horizontal flap group G5, and the sixth horizontal flap group G6.

  In addition, the 1st horizontal flap 80 has curved the 1st horizontal flap 80 connected, when the 1st link member 81, the 2nd link member 82, and the 3rd link member 83 each move to the perpendicular direction D2. Although the direction is changed, the first link member 81, the second link member 82, and the third link member 83 can be changed not only in stages but also continuously to a desired position. . In addition, the direction of the first horizontal flap 80 is not only manually changed, but by providing a drive motor for each of the first horizontal flap group G1, the second horizontal flap group G2, and the third horizontal flap group G3. It can also be changed automatically. The same applies to the second horizontal flap 90.

<Characteristic>
(1)
In the floor-standing air conditioner 1, the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 are opened so as to be located outside the centers of the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13, respectively. In the case where the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 are arranged on the inner side as in the conventional floor-mounted air conditioner, the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 are directed inward. In the open state, as shown in FIG. 13A, the air flow is dispersed to the outside, so that it is difficult to collect the air flow in the front direction. On the other hand, when the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 are opened so as to be located outside the centers of the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13, respectively, as shown in FIG. Thus, since the dispersion | distribution to the outer side of an air flow is suppressed, the convergence property of the air flow to a front direction improves. Thereby, the straightness is improved by the concentration of the air flow in the central direction. For this reason, it is possible to reach the air flow far away.

  Moreover, in this floor-mounted air conditioner 1, since the 1st blower outlet 12 and the 2nd blower outlet 13 are arrange | positioned at distance in the horizontal direction, it is the 3rd open state shown in FIG.9 (c). As described above, when the first vertical flap 51 and the second vertical flap 71 are opened to the left and right, it is possible to blow air widely to the left and right. For this reason, it is also possible to realize an air flow that wraps from the left and right by blowing in both left and right directions.

As described above, in this floor-mounted air conditioner 1, the control range of the wind direction is expanded. As a result, the floor-standing air conditioner 1 can be installed in various places and used in various ways.
(2)
In the floor-standing air conditioner 1, the wind direction from the first air outlet 12 and the air direction from the second air outlet 13 can be individually controlled. Therefore, it is possible to distribute the air flow according to the room or the air flow according to the user's preference. In addition, since the degree of freedom of air flow distribution is improved, the air flow distribution is changed according to the shape of the room in which the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is arranged, and air conditioning such as air conditioning is particularly effective. It is possible to improve the air conditioning efficiency by distributing the airflow only to necessary portions. For example, when the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is arranged in a corner of a long room that has a shape that is long in one direction, if air is blown in the right and left directions, It is difficult to make the air flow reach the corners located. In this case, as shown in FIG. 14, the air flow was difficult to reach by setting the air direction from the first air outlet 12 and the air direction from the second air outlet 13 to be biased in the longitudinal direction of the room. The air flow can reach the part.

(3)
In this floor-mounted air conditioner 1, the horizontal flaps 80 and 90 are divided into a plurality of groups, and the orientation of the horizontal flaps 80 and 90 can be freely changed for each group. For this reason, according to the shape of a room, a user's liking, etc., the mode of a balloon of the perpendicular direction D2 can be chosen freely. For example, it is possible to realize an air flow that wraps the room from above and below, and conversely, it is also possible to expand the reach area of the air flow by concentrating the air flow.

Further, instead of moving all the horizontal flaps 80 and 90 at the same time, each horizontal flap group G1-G3, G4-G6 can be moved separately, so that one horizontal flap group G1-G6 is moved. Therefore, it is possible to operate with a light force and the operability is improved.
(4)
In the floor-standing air conditioner 1, air can be blown out in various directions by the first vertical flap 51, the second vertical flap 71, the first horizontal flap 80, and the second horizontal flap 90 as described above. For this reason, even if it is a case where only one unit is provided rather than a plurality of fans 3, various air blowouts are possible.

Second Embodiment

The second air volume adjusting unit 78 has a second shutter mechanism that changes the opening area of the second air outlet 13, and can adjust the air volume of air blown from the second air outlet 13. The control unit 10 can individually control the first air volume adjusting unit 58 and the second air volume adjusting unit 78, and the air volume blown from the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 are blown out. It is possible to individually change the air volume of the air to be generated. In addition, the user inputs the air volume adjustment by the first air volume adjusting unit 58 and the second air volume adjusting unit 78 to the remote controller 11, so that the air volume from the first outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 are adjusted. The air volume can be adjusted to a desired level. In this case, similarly to the first embodiment, not only when the change of the air volume can be input to each of the first air volume adjusting unit 58 and the second air volume adjusting unit 78, but also by the designation of the operation mode. It is also possible to operate the first air volume adjusting unit 58 and the second air volume adjusting unit 78 separately.

About another structure, it is the same as that of the floor-standing type air conditioner 1 concerning 1st Embodiment.
<Characteristic>
In this floor-mounted air conditioner 1, since the air direction from the first air outlet 12 and the air volume from the second air outlet 13 can be individually controlled, the distribution of air flow according to the room and the user's It is possible to distribute the air flow to your liking. In addition, since the degree of freedom of air flow distribution is improved, the air flow distribution is changed according to the shape of the room in which the floor-standing air conditioner 1 is arranged, and air conditioning such as air conditioning is particularly effective. It is possible to improve the air conditioning efficiency by distributing the airflow only to necessary portions. For example, when the floor-mounted air conditioner 1 is disposed at a corner portion of a long room that has a shape that is long in one direction, as shown in FIG. It is good to increase and to reduce the air volume from the other outlet. Thereby, the air flow can be made to reach a portion where the air flow is difficult to reach.
