Around the axle of central vane, there is following characteristics.
(1) the axle portion 194a as driving shaft is positioned at water-collecting tray 99 (casing) outward.As comparative example, when axle portion 194a is positioned at water-collecting tray 99, axle supporting arm part 174a, 174b of central vane 170b are elongated, can hinder the flowing of the air-flow blown out from Air blowing mouth 109b.In the present embodiment, axle portion 194a is positioned at outside water-collecting tray 99, can set short by axle supporting arm part 174a, 174b of central vane 170b, can reduce the flowing hindering the air-flow blown out from Air blowing mouth 109b.
(2) left pillar 191, right pillar 192 are included in the track of the movable area of central vane 170b.Thereby, it is possible to reduce the flowing hindering the air-flow blown out from Air blowing mouth 109b.
(3) gear-box 21 (Figure 11) is not projected in the gas channel from Air blowing mouth 109b.
(4) the strut width w1 of left pillar 191 is different from the strut width w2 of right pillar 192.The position becoming obstacle in the gas channel from Air blowing mouth 109b can be reduced as far as possible, therefore reduce the strut width of the right pillar 192 as non-driven portion as far as possible.Thus, compared with left pillar 191, the duct resistance to right pillar 192 can be reduced.
(5) axle portion is provided with in pillar (left pillar 191, right pillar 192) side.That is, bearing portion is provided with in blade-side.Thus, compare with the situation in blade-side with axle portion, easily blade can be installed.In addition, non-coaxial two axle portions are provided with at pillar.Particularly, at left pillar 191, there is axle portion 193b, 194a, at right pillar 192, there is axle portion 194b, 195a.
The configuration relation of up-down wind direction board when then representing each operating condition.
Fig. 6 is the side view of state and the stereogram of Air blowing mouth when representing that the running of indoor set stops, and (a) is the side view of indoor set, and (b) is the stereogram observed from oblique downside indoor set.Suitable to Fig. 2, Fig. 4.
When the running of not using air-condition machine A stops, as shown in Figure 6, utilize that control part 60 controls upside up-down wind direction board 170, downside up-down wind direction board 180 makes Air blowing mouth 109b close.Thus, upside up-down wind direction board 170 turns to the anterior position above blowout air channel 109a and is contained, and is hidden upper surface 109c side, blowout air channel, and associating downside up-down wind direction board 180 makes Air blowing mouth 109b close.
Now, left and right blade 170a, 170c of upside up-down wind direction board 170 and central vane 170b, downside up-down wind direction board 180 can form the profile to bottom surface before machine 100 indoor continuously smooth in the wind direction face as outer surface.Therefore, when not using air-condition machine A, become and there is no unnecessary concavo-convex, soft harmony outward appearance, can not interior atmosphere be upset.
Like this, the indoor set 100 of embodiment be closed be divided into multiple upside up-down wind direction boards 170 in the horizontal direction time, the bottom surface of machine 100 is formed smoothly to the wind direction face becoming lower surface during cooling operation by up-down wind direction board of the profile of front panel 106 indoor.
Thus, when stopped air conditioner A, its outer faceplate panels 106 in the past that is formed as, continuously to the level and smooth shape of bottom, becomes and does not have unnecessary concavo-convex clean appearance.Even if therefore, it is possible to provide the air conditioner also can not upsetting interior decoration atmosphere when operating and stopping.
In the present embodiment, the cross-directional length Lb of central vane 170b is made to grow up about 10% than the cross-directional length La of left and right blade 170a and the cross-directional length Lc of left and right blade 170c.If this be in order to prevent making length La, Lb, Lc are equal length, the length of central vane 170b looks short.In addition, be the air quantity that can control to increase central vane 170b.
The side view of state and the stereogram of Air blowing mouth when Fig. 7 is the cooling operation representing indoor set, (a) is the side view of indoor set, and (b) is the stereogram observed from oblique downside indoor set.Suitable to Fig. 2, Fig. 4.
When air conditioner A carries out cooling operation, make upside up-down wind direction board 170 (left and right blade 170a, 170c, central vane 170b), downside up-down wind direction board 180 become with the almost parallel posture of blowout air channel upper surface 109c or level towards using.The cold wind of blowout directly blows to indoor occupant (user) and then can produce uncomfortable sensation, therefore by above-mentioned such operation, suitably change the direction of up-down wind direction board with remote controller 40, make the cold wind of blowout directly not blow to indoor occupant, indoor are kept comfortable temperature humidity.
Now, observe indoor set 100, because indoor set 100 is arranged on the eminence of indoor wall, therefore left and right blade 170a, 170c, the lower surface of central vane 170b, i.e. wind direction face (time closed, becoming the wind direction face of outer surface) is seen, if the front end of blade does not line up, then user may entertain turned position precision and there is the inharmonious sensations such as error.
In the present embodiment, due to the turned position controlling misplacing from the initial front position by the above-below direction of central vane 170b and left and right blade 170a, 170c, therefore, it is possible to do not accepted with there is no inharmonious sensation by user.Such as, in Fig. 7 (a), the front position of central vane 170b gives prominence to about 3mm (position with reference to the state C2 of above-mentioned Figure 15) relative to the front position of left and right blade 170a, 170c in accompanying drawing left.User can be made to coincide for the impression of the wind direction do not expected with having inharmonious sensation during cooling operation with wind direction during observation up-down wind direction board.
In addition, usual up-down wind direction board is retained as approximate horizontal posture, and the distortion therefore caused due to the deadweight of up-down wind direction board becomes large.Owing to easily receiving publicity near indoor set 100 hollow air-blowing outlet 109b, therefore consider the material of up-down wind direction board, shape, do not make the distortion of up-down wind direction board become excessive.In the present embodiment, because upside up-down wind direction board 170 is formed by three wind direction boards, therefore weight is disperseed, and the distortion caused owing to conducting oneself with dignity is few, and this is its feature.
Fig. 8 be represent indoor set heat running time the side view of state and the stereogram of Air blowing mouth, (a) is the side view of indoor set, and (b) is the stereogram observed from oblique downside indoor set.Suitable to Fig. 2, Fig. 4.
When air conditioner A carries out heating running, the posture that upside up-down wind direction board 170 (left and right blade 170a, 170c, central vane 170b) is become close to vertical shown in Fig. 8 uses.In addition, downside up-down wind direction board 180 posture that to become relative to vertical guide be predetermined angular is made to use.Like this, the warm braw flowed in the 109a of Air blowing air channel indoor machine 100 blows out downward, arrives Near Ground, and near warm vola, making indoor is a home from home.
Now, observe indoor set 100, because indoor set 100 is arranged on the eminence of indoor wall, therefore left and right blade 170a, 170c, the upper surface of central vane 170b, i.e. wind direction face (time closed, becoming the wind direction face of inner surface) is seen, if the front end of blade does not line up, then user may entertain turned position precision and there is the inharmonious sensations such as error.
In the present embodiment, due to the turned position controlling misplacing from the initial front position by the above-below direction of central vane 170b and left and right blade 170a, 170c, therefore, it is possible to do not accepted with there is no inharmonious sensation by user.Such as, the difference in height d (gap) of central vane 170b and left and right blade 170a, 170c side-looking in Fig. 8 (a) is viewed as about 13mm (predetermined distance).User can be made to coincide for the impression of the wind direction do not expected with having inharmonious sensation when heating running with wind direction during observation up-down wind direction board.Compared with Fig. 7, when Fig. 8, the difference in height d of central vane 170b and left and right blade 170a, 170c is larger.Due to the dislocation relation of the axle of central vane 170b and left and right blade 170a, 170c, along with aperture increases, the dislocation of blade increases.
Usually, the difference of the room temperature when difference of the warm braw temperature of room temperature when heating and blowout is greater than refrigeration and the cold wind temperature of blowout.Therefore, the temperature difference between the wind direction face in the table of downside up-down wind direction board 180 becomes large, and the difference due to thermal expansion produces the bending phenomenon of downside up-down wind direction board 180.Especially consider when heating because temperature difference causes the phenomenon that bends.Therefore, downside up-down wind direction board 180 such as makes hollow bulb play the function of air heat insulation by becoming hollow, and the heat reduced between the wind direction face in the table of up-down wind direction board moves.
Warm braw when heating running blows out down, and making rapidly indoor is comfort conditions.Now, warm braw blows to the upside central vane 170b of up-down wind direction board 170 and the wind direction face of left and right blade 170a, 170c, makes air-flow down.Now, owing to there is difference in height d at central vane 170b and between left and right blade 170a, 170c, the air-flow of the lower surface of central vane 170b is therefore blown to around the upper surface to left and right blade 170a, 170c.Therefore, the upper surface of left and right blade 170a, 170c and the temperature difference of lower surface reduce, the bending effect diminished that the difference with the thermal expansion in the table of left and right blade 170a, 170c causes.
And, when cooling operation, make up-down wind direction board situation down can think little as mentioned above, but in this situation, owing to there is difference in height d at central vane 170b and between left and right blade 170a, 170c, therefore blow to the air-flow of the lower surface of central vane 170b also around the upper surface to left and right blade 170a, 170c.Therefore, the upper surface of left and right blade 170a, 170c and the temperature difference of lower surface reduce, and have the effect suppressing to produce condensation at the upper surface of left and right blade 170a, 170c.
As discussed above, even if the air conditioner A that also well can keep Air blowing mouth 109b outward appearance in operation process can be provided.
Then the vane drive mechanism 10 for central vane 170b is described in detail.
Figure 11 is the key diagram of the vane drive mechanism representing central vane.Vane drive mechanism 10 possesses motor 30 and gear train, and this gear train has and is set to the first gear 11 (axle shaft gear of central vane) of one, the 3rd gear 13 (axle shaft gear of motor) being set to one via the motor drive shaft 31 of D section etc. and motor 30 and the second gear 12 (idler gear) be arranged between the first gear 11 and the 3rd gear 13 as the axle portion 194a of the driving shaft of central vane 170b.
First gear 11 plays the function of reduction gearing relative to the second gear 12, and the second gear 12 plays the function of reduction gearing relative to the 3rd gear 13.Thus, the rotary speed realizing motor 30 rotates slowly, and passes to the first gear 11, and relative to central vane 170b, the wind direction realizing above-below direction controls.
Gear train is configured in the container that is made up of gear-box 21 and gear box cover 22, and motor 30 is configured in the container that is made up of the motor support portion 23 engaged with gear box cover 22 and motor cover 24.Gear-box 21 is also the formation product of left pillar 191 shown in Fig. 9.
Figure 12 represents that vane drive mechanism is arranged on the view of the situation on casing, and Figure 13 is the key diagram of relation of the gear train after the container removing representing vane drive mechanism.As shown in figure 12, left pillar 191 is configured to not hinder the air-flow be blown, between the upper surface of central vane 170b, i.e. wind direction face (becoming the wind direction face of inner surface time closed) and the lower surface of casing 98, ensure that sufficient wind direction passage.In addition, comprise motor 30, part such as motor cover 24 grade, in casing 98, is therefore configured to not hinder air-flow.
As shown in figure 13, the first gear 11 is configured in left pillar 191, and the second gear 12 and the 3rd gear 13 are positioned at casing 98, are configured to not hinder air-flow.
Air conditioner according to the present embodiment, can not hinder air-flow ground reliably to drive by being divided into multiple up-down wind direction boards.In addition, by arranging axle shaft gear in pillar, bearing installation space can be cut down.
The air conditioner A of present embodiment, be illustrated for following up-down wind direction board (such as upside up-down wind direction board 170), this up-down wind direction board is divided into three parts in the lateral direction, be made up of a central vane and about two blades, the wind direction of air-flow is controlled in the vertical direction, but is not limited to this.Such as, up-down wind direction board is at least divided into more than three parts.Particularly, about the situation being divided into more than four, driving mechanism (such as vane drive mechanism 10) can be suitable for equally.
