The module body 400 is integrally provided to the front panel 300. That is, the entire components of the blade module 200 are modularized and are disposed on the front panel 300 at one time.
Since the blade module 200 is modularized, the assembly time can be shortened, and it is easy to replace the blade module when a failure occurs.
In the present embodiment, the blade motor 230 uses a stepping motor.
< construction of Module Main body >
The module body 400 may be formed of one body. In the present embodiment, in order to minimize the installation space and minimize the manufacturing cost, the two components are separated and manufactured.
In the present embodiment, the module body 400 is composed of a first module body 410 and a second module body 420.
The first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are formed in a left-right symmetrical manner. In the present embodiment, the common structure will be described by taking the first module body 410 as an example.
The first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are fastened to the front body 310, respectively. Specifically, the first and second module main bodies 410 and 420 are disposed at the respective corner frames 313.
In the horizontal direction, the first module body 410 is provided to the corner frame 313 disposed at one side of the discharge opening 102, and the second module body 420 is provided to the corner frame 313 disposed at the other side of the discharge opening 102.
The first and second module main bodies 410 and 420 are closely attached to the bottom surfaces of the corner frames 313 in the vertical direction and fastened by the fastening members 401.
Thus, the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are disposed under the front body 310. When viewed in a state in which the indoor unit is installed, the fastening direction of the first module body 410 and the corner frame 313 is arranged to be directed from the lower side to the upper side, and the fastening direction of the second module body 420 and the corner frame 313 is also arranged to be directed from the lower side to the upper side.
With the above-described structure, the blade module 200 can be easily separated from the front body 310 as a whole during maintenance.
The blade module 200 includes: a first block body 410 which is disposed on one side of the discharge port 102, is positioned below the front body 310, and is detachably attached to the front body 310 in a downward direction; a second module body 420 which is disposed on the other side of the discharge port 102, is positioned below the front body 310, and is detachably attached to the front body 310 to the lower side; one or more blades 210 and 220 coupled to the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 at one side and the other side thereof, respectively, and relatively rotating with respect to the first and second module bodies 410 and 420; a blade motor 230 provided at least one of the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 to provide a driving force to the blade; a first fastening hole 403-1 disposed in the first module body 410, facing downward, and formed to penetrate the first module body 410; a first fastening member 401-1 fastened to the front body 310 through the first fastening hole 403-1; a second fastening hole 403-2 disposed in the second module body 420 to face downward and formed to penetrate the second module body 420; and a second fastening member 401-2 fastened to the front body through the second fastening hole 403-2.
In particular, since the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are positioned below the front body 310, only the blade module 200 can be separated from the front body 310 in a state where the front body 310 is disposed in the housing case 110. This applies collectively to the blade module 200 totality in four positions.
When the module main body 400 is separated from the front main body 310, the entire blade module 200 is separated downward from the front main body 310.
The module body 400 includes: a module body 402 coupled to the front body 310, exposed to the outside, and having an open upper side; a coupling mounting portion 404 providing one of side surfaces of the module main body portion 402, the blade 210, 220 being coupled to the coupling mounting portion 404; and a module guide portion 430 protruding from the coupling mounting portion 404 toward the blades 210 and 220, and guiding a flow direction of air.
The module main body 402 is fastened to the front body 310 by a fastening member 401 (not shown). Unlike the present embodiment, the module main body 402 may be combined with the front main body 310 by a snap-fit or an interference fit.
Fastening holes 403 are formed to penetrate the module main body portion 402. In the present embodiment, a fastening boss 445 protruding upward from the module main body portion 402 is also formed. A fastening hole 403 is formed inside the fastening boss 445. The fastening boss 445 improves fastening force with the fastening member 401 and provides a space into which the fastening member 401 can be inserted.
The module body 402 further includes a module body boundary 440 projecting upward along the edge, the module body boundary 440 forming a side of the module body 402.
The link mounting portion 404 forms one of four sides of the module main body portion 402, and the module main body boundary 440 forms three of the four sides of the module main body portion 402. The height of the coupling mounting portion 404 is formed higher than the height of the module body boundary 440.
In the present embodiment, the module main body portion 402, the module main body boundary 440, and the coupling mounting portion 404 are manufactured in an integrated manner by injection molding.
The coupling attachment portion 404 is disposed on the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 side of the four side surfaces of the module body 402.

The module hooks 405 are disposed on the first module body boundary 441 and the second module body boundary 442, respectively. The module hooks 405 project from the lower side toward the upper side and can be locked to each other in the vertical direction.
In the present embodiment, in order to minimize vibration or noise caused by the first blade 210, the second blade 220, the blade motor 230, the drive link 240, the first blade link 250, the second blade link 260, and the like, the module main body portion 402 is fixedly secured to the front body 310.
The fastening member 401 for fixing the module main body portion 402 is in a state of being fastened from the lower side to the upper side direction, and can be separated from the upper side to the lower side.
The module body 402 has a fastening hole 403 through which the fastening member 401 is inserted.
For convenience of description, when it is necessary to distinguish the fastening hole formed in the first module body 410 from the fastening hole formed in the second module body 420, the fastening hole disposed in the first module body 410 is referred to as a first fastening hole 403-1, and the fastening hole disposed in the second module body 420 is referred to as a second fastening hole 403-1.
Further, when the fastening members 401 need to be distinguished, the fastening member 401 disposed in the first fastening hole 403-1 is defined as a first fastening member 401-1, and the fastening member 401 disposed in the second fastening hole 403-1 is defined as a second fastening member 401-2.
The first fastening member 401-1 penetrates the first fastening hole and is fastened to the front body 310. The second fastening member 401-2 penetrates the second fastening hole and is fastened to the front body 310.
Before the module main body 400 is fastened and fixed, a module hook 405 for temporarily fixing the position of the module main body 400 is disposed.
The module catch 405 is coupled to the front panel 300 (specifically, the front body 310). Specifically, the module hook 405 and the front main body 310 are locked to each other.
A plurality of module hooks 405 can be arranged on one module body. In the present embodiment, the module hooks are respectively disposed on the outer edge and the front edge of the module main body 402. That is, the module hooks 405 are respectively disposed on the outer sides of the first module main body 410 and the second module main body 420, and the module hooks 405 are symmetrical in the left-right direction.
The blade module 200 can be temporarily fixed to the frame main body 310 by the module hooks 405 of the first module main body 410 and the module hooks 405 of the second module main body 420.
Slight release intervals may result based on the attachment of the module hooks 405 to the attachment structure. The fastening member 401 firmly fixes the module main body 400 temporarily fixed to the front main body 310.
Fastening holes 403 for arranging the fastening members 401 may be located between the module hooks 405. The fastening holes 403 of the first module main body 410 and the fastening holes 403 of the second module main body 420 are arranged between the module hooks 405 on the one side and the other side.
In the present embodiment, the module hooks 405 and the fastening holes 403 are arranged in a row.
Even if the fastening member 401 is released, the blade module 200 can be kept coupled to the frame main body 310 by the module hooks 405.
In the case where the blade module 200 needs to be separated due to repair or malfunction, the blade module 200 can maintain a state of being coupled to the front panel 300 even if the fastening member 401 is separated. Thus, the operator does not need to additionally support the blade module 200 when releasing the fastening member 401.
Since the blade module 200 realizes primary fixing by the module hook 405 and secondary fixing by the fastening member 401, the ease of operation can be greatly improved during maintenance.

The core coupling shaft 243 is formed in a cylindrical shape whose inside is hollow. The motor shaft 231 of the vane motor 230 is inserted into a hollow portion formed inside the core coupling shaft 243.
The mandrel coupler shaft 243 extends through the drive coupler junction 407. When the core coupler shaft 243 penetrates the drive coupler engagement portion 407, the core body 447 can be snugly received in the drive coupler post 447.
When the core main body 447 and the drive coupling boss 447 are excessively brought into close contact with each other to generate a frictional force, the rotation of the drive coupling 240 is hindered. To prevent this, a plurality of projections 248a projecting from the surface of the core main body 248 are provided. The projection 248a projects in the same direction as the core coupling shaft 243. The projection 248a may be provided in plural along the edge of the core coupling shaft 243.

The coupling shaft locking portion 241b is disposed on an outer side surface of the coupling shaft main body 241a and projects outward. The coupling shaft locking portion 241b is disposed at the tip end of the coupling shaft main body 241 a.
The engagement rib 214 described later is sandwiched between the coupling shaft locking portion 241b and the first drive coupling shaft mounting portion 246 b. When the first drive coupling shaft 241 is assembled with the engagement rib 214, the coupling shaft main body 241a is deformed and can be inserted into the first engagement portion 216. After passing through the first engaging portion 216, the coupling shaft main body 241a is restored to the original state.

When the second drive link shaft 242 and the second blade link 260 are assembled, the link shaft snap-stop 242b needs to pass through the keyway 262b of the second blade link 260 before it can extend through the second blade link 260.
During operation of the second blade coupler 260 and the second drive coupler shaft 242, the coupler shaft interference portion 242b and the keyway 262b will not coincide. The assembly position of the link shaft stop 242b and keyway 262b is outside the operating range of the second blade link 260.
The first and second drive coupling bodies 246, 247 form a predetermined included angle E. A virtual straight line connecting the first drive coupling shaft 241 and the core coupling shaft 243 and a virtual straight line connecting the core coupling shaft 243 and the second drive coupling shaft 242 form a predetermined angle E. The angle E is formed to be 90 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less.

The projection 253a is closely attached to the outer side surface of the engagement rib 214 and supports the engagement rib 214. The protrusion 253a may minimize an assembly error of the first blade 210 and the engagement rib 214.
Since the structure of the 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251 is the same as that of the 1 st-2 nd blade link shaft 252, a detailed description will be omitted.
The 1 st-2 nd blade link shaft 252 includes: a coupling shaft main body 252a which protrudes from the 1 st-2 nd blade coupling shaft mounting portion 254 to the coupling mounting portion 404 (specifically, the first blade coupling joint portion 408) side and is constituted by a plurality of; and a coupling shaft locking portion 252b protruding from the coupling shaft main body 252a and locked to the first blade coupling engaging portion 408.
< construction of second blade coupling >
In this embodiment, the second blade coupling 260 is formed of a strong material and extends in a linear form. Unlike the present embodiment, the first blade coupling 250 may be formed in a curved line.
The second blade link 260 comprises: a second blade coupling body 265; a 2-1 blade link shaft 261 which is disposed on one side of the second blade link body 265, assembled with the second blade 220, and relatively rotated with the second blade 220; a 2-1 blade link shaft mounting portion 263 extending from a second blade link body 265 to the second blade 220 side, the 2-1 blade link shaft 261 being disposed at the 2-1 blade link shaft mounting portion 263; the 2 nd to 2 nd blade coupling shaft portions 262 are disposed on the other side of the second blade coupling body 265, assembled with the drive coupling 240 (specifically, the second drive coupling shaft 242), and rotated relative to the drive coupling 240.
In the present embodiment, the 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262 is formed in the form of a hole penetrating the second blade link body 265. The 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262 and the second drive link shaft 242 are assembled to each other to provide a rotational structure capable of rotating relative to each other.
Thus, when one of the 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262 and the second drive link shaft 242 is formed in the form of a shaft, the other may be formed in the form of a hole or boss that provides a center of rotation. Unlike the present embodiment, the 2 nd to 2 nd blade coupling shaft portion may be formed in the form of a shaft, and the second drive coupling shaft may be formed in the form of a hole.
The structural replacement described above can be applied to all the structures that can be relatively rotated in conjunction with the drive coupling, the first blade coupling, and the second blade coupling, and the corresponding deformable example will not be described in detail.
The 2 nd-1 th blade link shaft 261 protrudes toward the second blade 220 side. The 2 nd-1 th blade link shaft 261 is assembled with the second blade 220 and can rotate relative to the second blade 220.
In the present embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the second blade coupling body 265 and the arrangement direction of the 2 nd-1 st blade coupling shaft mounting portion 263 are orthogonal.
The 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft mounting portion 263 is formed in a disk shape. The 2 nd-1 st blade coupling shaft mounting part 263 is formed wider than the diameter of the 2 nd-1 st blade coupling shaft 261. The 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft mounting portion 263 is closely attached to the second blade 220 and can support the second blade 220.
The 2-1 blade link shaft 261 is a rotating structure for rotating a shaft relative to the second blade 220. The 2 nd-1 th blade link shaft 261 is formed in a cylindrical structure. A coupling shaft locking portion 261b is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the 2 nd to 1 st vane coupling shaft 261. The coupling shaft locking portion 261b and the second blade 220 are formed to be locked to each other.
The 2 nd-1 th blade link shaft 261 extends through the second blade 220. The second engagement rib 224 (specifically, the third engagement portion 226) of the second blade 220 is arranged between the coupling shaft blocking portion 261b and the 2 nd-1 st blade coupling shaft mounting portion 263.
A projection 263a is formed at the 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft mounting part 263. The protrusion 263a is closely attached to the outer surface of the second blade 220 (specifically, the second engagement rib 224) and supports the outer surface of the second blade 220 (specifically, the second engagement rib 224). The protrusion 263a may minimize an assembly error of the second blade 220 and the 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft mounting part 263.
In the present embodiment, the coupling shaft blocking portion 261b is formed at only one position. The coupling shaft blocking portion 261b performs a key function. When the 2 nd-1 th blade link shaft 261 and the second blade 220 are assembled, the link shaft blocking portion 261b needs to pass through the key groove 224b of the second engagement rib 224 to enable the second engagement rib 224 and the 2 nd-1 th blade link shaft 261 to be assembled.
When the second blade coupling 260 and the second engagement rib 224 are relatively rotated, the coupling shaft locking portion 261b and the key groove 224b will not coincide. The assembly position of the link shaft blocking portion 261b and the key groove 224b is outside the operating range of the second blade link 260.
In the present embodiment, the 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262 is formed in a hole form penetrating the second blade link body 265. A key groove 262b is formed along the penetrating length direction of the 2 nd-2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262. When the second drive coupler shaft 242 of the drive coupler 240 is assembled, the coupler shaft detents 242b of the drive coupler 240 will pass through the keyways 262 b.
When the coupling shaft locking portion 242b is rotated after passing through the key groove 262b, the second blade coupling 260 and the second drive coupling shaft 242 are assembled and separated in the insertion direction of the second drive coupling shaft 242. That is, the coupling shaft locking portion 242b needs to be aligned with the key groove 262b to separate the second drive coupling shaft 242 and the second blade coupling 260. The second drive link shaft 242 is relatively rotatable in an assembled state with the 2 nd-2 nd vane link shaft portion 262.

In the present embodiment, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are arranged to control the flow direction of the air discharged from the discharge port 102. The relative arrangement and relative angle of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 will change according to the steps of the blade motor 230. In the present embodiment, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 form a pair and provide six spitting steps P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 according to the steps of the blade motor 230.
The discharge steps P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6 are defined as a state in which the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are not moved and fixed. As a concept opposite thereto, the present embodiment may provide a moving step.

< construction of first blade >
The first vane 210 is disposed between the coupling mounting portion 404 of the first module body 410 and the coupling mounting portion 404 of the second module body 420.
The first vane 210 covers most of the discharge opening 210 when the indoor unit is not operating. Unlike the present embodiment, the first blade 210 may be made to cover the entire discharge port 210.
The first vane 210 is coupled to a drive coupler 240 and a first vane coupler 250.
The drive coupler 240 and the first blade coupler 250 are disposed on one side and the other side of the first blade 210, respectively.

The discharged air may collide with the upper or lower side of the first blade body 212, thereby guiding the flow direction of the air. The air discharge direction is orthogonal or intersects with the longitudinal direction of the first blade body 212.
The bottom surface of the first blade body 212 is formed as a smooth plane or curved surface, and various structures such as the engagement rib 214 are disposed on the top surface. The plane of the first vane body 212 corresponds to the shape of the discharge opening 102.
The engagement rib 214 is a mounting structure for coupling the drive coupler 240 and the first blade coupler 250. The engagement ribs 214 are respectively disposed on one side and the other side of the first blade 210.
The engagement rib 214 is formed to protrude from the upper side of the first blade body 212 toward the upper side.

The second blade 220 may be relatively rotated about the second engagement rib 224, or may be relatively rotated about the second blade axis 221. That is, the second blade 220 can be relatively rotated with respect to the second engagement rib 224 and the second blade shaft 221.
The second engagement rib 224 is located more forward than the second blade axis 221 in a plan view. The second engagement rib 224 moves along a predetermined trajectory around the second blade axis 221.

A projection 227a is also formed at the second blade shaft supporting part 227-2. The protrusion 227a protrudes toward the second blade coupling portion 409.
The second blade shaft 221 is located more rearward than the second engagement rib 224. In front of the second blade shaft 221, a second blade coupling 260, a drive coupling 240, and a first blade coupling 250 are arranged in this order.
Further, the drive coupling portion 407 and the first blade coupling portion 408 are arranged in this order in front of the second blade coupling portion 409.
< arrangement of vane module and suction grill >
The coupling structure and the separation structure of the blade module will be described in more detail with reference to fig. 1 to 4 and 15 to 17.
When the suction grill 320 is separated in the state of fig. 1, as shown in fig. 15, four blade modules 200 are exposed. The suction grill 320 is detachably assembled to the front body 310.
The suction grill 320 may be separated from the front body 310 using various methods.
The suction grill 320 may be separated by rotating the suction grill while separating the opposite side of the suction grill with respect to the one side edge. Alternatively, the suction grill 320 may be separated by releasing the locking state in a state where the suction grill is locked to the front body 310. Alternatively, the suction grill 200 may be maintained in a state of being coupled to the front body 310 using a magnetic force.
In this embodiment, the suction grill 320 may be moved in the up-and-down direction by the lifter 500 provided at the front body 310. The elevating member 500 may be connected to the suction grill 320 by a wire (not shown). By the operation of the elevating member 500, the wire can be unwound or wound, and the suction grill 320 is moved to the lower side or to the upper side by such an operation.
A plurality of the lifters 500 are arranged, and each of the lifters 500 simultaneously moves both sides of the suction grill 320.
When the suction grill 320 moves downward, the first and second module bodies 410 and 420, which are originally shielded by the suction grill 320, are exposed.
In a state where the suction grill 320 is assembled to the front body 310, at least one of the first and second blades 210 and 220 of the blade module 200 may be exposed.
When the indoor unit is not operated, only the first vane 210 is exposed to a user. The second vane 220 may be selectively exposed to a user when the discharged air is discharged by the operation of the indoor unit.
In a state where the suction grill 320 is assembled to the front body 310, the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 of the vane module 200 are shielded by the suction grill 320.
Since the fastening holes 403 are respectively disposed in the first and second module main bodies 410 and 420, the fastening holes 403 are hidden from the user by the suction grill 320.
In addition, since the first module body 410 and the second module body 420 are disposed above the grill edge portion 327 constituting the suction grill 320, the grill edge portion 327 cuts the first module body 410 and the second module body 420 to be exposed to the outside.
The grid edge portion 327 cuts off the fastening holes 403 formed in the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 to be exposed. Since the grill corner portion 327 is located at a lower side of the fastening hole 403, the fastening hole 403 is hidden by the grill corner portion 327.
To explain it more specifically, the suction grill 320 includes: a grill main body 322 disposed below the suction port 101, communicating with the suction port 101 through a plurality of grill holes 321, and formed in a quadrangular shape; a first grill corner portion 327-1, a second grill corner portion 327-2, a third grill corner portion 327-3, and a fourth grill corner portion 327-4, which are formed to extend in a diagonal direction from each corner of the grill main body 322.

The second and fourth corner covers 316-2 and 316-4 are disposed in a diagonal direction with respect to the center C of the front panel 300 and face each other.
Virtual diagonal lines passing through the center of the front panel 300 are defined as P1 and P2. P1 is a virtual line connecting the first corner cover 316-1 and the third corner cover 316-3, and P2 is a virtual line connecting the second corner cover 316-2 and the fourth corner cover 316-4.
A first grill corner portion 327-1, a second grill corner portion 327-2, a third grill corner portion 327-3, and a fourth grill corner portion 327-4 extending to the corner sides are disposed at the suction panel 320.

The fourth vane module 204 is disposed outside each edge of the suction grill and between the fourth grill corner portion 327-4 and the first grill corner portion 327-1.
The first grid corner portion 327-1 is formed to extend toward the first corner cover 316-1 and forms a continuous surface with the outer side surface of the first corner cover 316-1.
The grill corner border 326 of the first grill corner portion 327-1 faces the corner trim inner border 317 of the first corner cover 316-1 and forms a corner trim inner border gap 317 a.
The grid corner borders 326 of the remaining grid corner portions 327 and the corner trim inner borders 317 of the corner covers 316 also face each other, respectively, and form respective corner trim inner border gaps 317 a.
The first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are located inside the corner cover 316 (specifically, the center C side of the front panel). In particular, the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are disposed to face each other with reference to the virtual diagonal lines P1 and P2.
Specifically, the first module body 410 of the first blade module 201 and the second module body 420 of the fourth blade module 204 are disposed so as to face each other with reference to a virtual diagonal line P2.
The first module body 410 of the second blade module 202 and the second module body 420 of the first blade module 201 are disposed so as to face each other with reference to a virtual diagonal line P1.
The first module body 410 of the third blade module 201 and the second module body 420 of the second blade module 202 are disposed so as to face each other with reference to a virtual diagonal line P2.
The first block body 410 of the fourth blade block 204 and the second block body 420 of the third blade block 203 are disposed so as to face each other with reference to a virtual diagonal line P1.
The suction grill 320 is positioned under the first and second module bodies 410 and 420, and the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are hidden from view. That is, when the suction grill 320 is closely attached to the front body 310, the first and second module bodies 410 and 420 are shielded from the user by the suction grill 320.
Since the first and second module main bodies 410 and 420 are hidden, the first and second module main bodies 410 and 420 have an advantage in that the fastening holes 403 formed in the suction grill 320 are also hidden from the user.
The suction grill 320 is formed with four grill corner portions 327 arranged to face the respective corner covers 316. Each of the grid corner portions 327 is disposed opposite each of the corner covers 316.
A grid corner portion 327 disposed to face the first corner cover 316-1 is defined as a first grid corner portion 327-1, a grid corner portion 327 disposed to face the second corner cover 316-2 is defined as a second grid corner portion 327-2, a grid corner portion 327 disposed to face the third corner cover 316-3 is defined as a third grid corner portion 327-3, and a grid corner portion 327 disposed to face the fourth corner cover 316-4 is defined as a fourth grid corner portion 327-4.
The plurality of module main bodies 400 are located on the upper side of the grid edge portion 327 when viewed from below, and are hidden by the grid edge portion 327.
In particular, the grill side boundaries 325 forming the edges of the grill corner portions 327 and the corner garnish inner boundaries 317 forming the inner side edges of the corner covers 316 are disposed so as to face each other, and the curved shapes also correspond to each other.
Similarly, the grid corner boundary 326 forming the edge of the grid corner portion 327 and the inner edge of the first blade 210 are arranged to face each other, and the curved shapes also correspond to each other.
In the present embodiment, a permanent magnet 318 and a magnetic fixing portion 328 are disposed to maintain the suction grill 320 in a state of being closely attached to the front body 310.
One of the permanent magnet 318 or the magnetic fixing portion 328 may be disposed on the front body 310, and the other of the magnetic fixing portion 328 or the permanent magnet 318 may be disposed on the upper side of each of the grill corner portions 327.
The permanent magnet 318 and the magnetic fixing portion 328 are located above the respective grid edge portions 327 and hidden by the respective grid edge portions 327. Since the permanent magnets 318 and the magnetic fixing portions 328 are located outside the respective corners of the suction grill 320, it is possible to minimize the suction grill 320 and the front main body 310 from being spaced apart.
If the suction grill 320 and the front body 310 are spaced apart from each other, a problem occurs in that the pressure inside the suction flow path 103 is reduced.
In the present embodiment, the permanent magnet 318 is disposed on the front body 310. Specifically, the permanent magnet is disposed in the corner frame 313.
The magnetic fixing portion 328 is formed of a metal material that interacts with the permanent magnet 318 to form an attractive force. The magnetic fixing portion 328 is disposed on an upper side surface of the suction grill 320. Specifically, the magnetic fixing portion 328 is disposed on the upper side surface of the grill corner portion 327.
In case that the suction grill 320 moves to the upper side and approaches the permanent magnet 318, the permanent magnet 318 pulls the magnetic fixing portion 328 to fix the suction grill 320. The magnetic force of the permanent magnet 318 is smaller than the self weight of the suction grill 320. Accordingly, when the suction grill 320 cannot be pulled by the lifter 500, the permanent magnet 318 and the magnetic fixing portion 328 are disengaged from each other.
The permanent magnets 318 are arranged on the virtual diagonal lines P1 and P2 when viewed from above or from below. The permanent magnet 318 is located inside the corner cover 316.
One of the four permanent magnets 318 is disposed between the first module body 410 of the first blade module 201 and the second module body 420 of the fourth blade module 204 when viewed from above or from below. The remaining three permanent magnets are also disposed between the first module body 410 and the second module body 420 of each blade module.
The permanent magnet 318 and the magnetic fixing portion 328 are located above the respective grid edge portions 327 and hidden by the respective grid edge portions 327.
< discharge step corresponding to operation of vane Motor >
In the present embodiment, when the indoor unit is not operated (when the indoor blower is not operated), in each blade module 200, as shown in the figure, the second blade 220 is located on the upper side of the first blade 210, and the first blade 210 covers the discharge opening 102. The lower side of the first vane 210 forms a continuous surface with the lower side of the suction grill 320 and the lower side of the side cover 314.
When the indoor unit is not operated, since the second vane 220 is positioned at an upper side of the first vane 210, it is in a state of being hidden when viewed from the outside. The second vane 220 is exposed to the user only when the indoor unit is operated. Thus, the second vane 220 is positioned on the discharge flow path 104 when the indoor unit is not operating, and the first vane 210 covers most of the discharge port 102.
In the present embodiment, the first blade 210 covers most of the discharge port 102, but may be formed so that the first blade 210 covers the entire discharge port 210 according to design.
When the indoor blower is operated in a state where the second blade 220 is accommodated, the blade motor 230 is operated, and the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 may be changed to one of six discharge steps P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, and P6.
The stop step P0 is defined when the indoor unit is stopped and the vane module 200 is not operating.
< stop step P0>
In the stop step P0 state, the blade module 200 is in an inoperative state. When the indoor unit is not operated, the vane module 200 maintains the stop step P0 state.
In the stopped step P0 state, in the blade module 200, the blade motor 230 will rotate the drive link 240 in the first direction (clockwise in the drawings of this embodiment) to the maximum extent.
At this time, the second drive coupling body 247 constituting the drive coupling 240 is supported at one side end 271 of the stopper 270, and further rotation thereof in the first direction is restricted.
In order to prevent over-rotation of the drive coupler 240, in the stop step P0, the second drive coupler body 247 and the other side end 270b of the stopper 270 interfere with each other. The second drive coupling body 247 is supported against the stop 270 and further rotation thereof will be limited.
The drive link 240 rotates in a first direction about the core link shaft 243, and the first vane link 250 rotates in a first direction about the 1 st to 2 nd vane link shaft 252.
The first vane 210 rotates in a state of being constrained by the drive coupling 240 and the first vane coupling 250, and is located in the discharge port 102. The lower surface of the first vane 210 forms a continuous surface with the suction panel 320 and the side cover 314.
In the stop step P0 state, the second blade 220 is positioned at the upper side of the first blade 210. The second blade 220 is located between the first engaging portions 214 and on the upper side of the first blade body 212 when viewed in plan.
Further, in the stop step P0 state, the drive link 240, the first blade link 250, and the second blade link 260 are arranged on the upper side of the first blade 210. The drive link 240, a blade link 250, and a second blade link 260 are shielded from the exterior by the first blade 210. That is, in the stop step P0 state, the first blade 210 covers the discharge port 102 and cuts off the components constituting the blade module 200 to expose them to the outside.
In the stop step P0 state, the drive link 240 is in a state of being rotated to the maximum in the clockwise direction, and the second blade link 260 is in a state of being lifted to the maximum.
When the indoor unit is not operated, since the second vane 220 is positioned at the upper side of the first vane 210, it is hidden when viewed from the outside. The second vane 220 is exposed to the user only when the indoor unit is operated.
In the stop step P0, the positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotational centers of the respective links is described as follows.
First, the first joint portion 216 and the second joint portion 217 of the first blade 210 are arranged substantially horizontally. The second engagement rib 224 of the second blade 220 is located on the upper side of the first engagement rib 214.
The second engagement rib 224 is located above the second engagement portion 217 and the first engagement portion 216, and between the first engagement portion 216 and the second engagement portion 217 as viewed from the side.
Further, since the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261 is coupled to the second engagement rib 224, the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261 is also positioned above the second engagement portion 217 and the first engagement portion 216.
The first joint portion 216 and the second joint portion 217 are located above the first blade body 212 and below the second blade body 222.
The 2 nd-2 nd vane coupler shaft portion 262 is located on the upper side of the 2 nd-1 st vane coupler shaft 261 and on the upper side of the core coupler shaft 243.
Next, the relative position and direction of each coupling in the stop step P0 are described as follows.
In addition, the first and second blade links 250 and 260 are arranged in the same direction. The first and second vane links 250 and 260 have upper ends located on the front side in the air discharge direction and lower ends located on the rear side in the air discharge direction.
Specifically, the 1 st-2 nd blade link shaft 252 of the first blade link 250 is located on the front side, and the 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251 of the first blade link 250 is located on the rear side. The 1 st-2 nd blade link shaft 252 of the first blade link 250 is located at a position on the upper side than the 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251. The first blade coupling 250 is disposed to be inclined rearward and downward with respect to the 1 st to 2 nd blade coupling shaft 252.
Likewise, the 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262 of the second blade link 260 is located on the forward side, and the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261 of the second blade link 260 is located on the rearward side. The 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262 of the second blade link 260 is located at a position on the upper side than the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261. The second blade link 260 is disposed to be inclined rearward and downward with respect to the 2 nd to 2 nd blade link shaft portion 262.
The first drive coupler body 246 of the drive coupler 240 is configured in the same direction as the first and second blade couplers 250, 260, and the second drive coupler body 247 intersects the direction of the arrangement of the first and second blade couplers 250, 260.
< spitting step P1>
In the stop step P0 state, the drive link 240 is rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise in the drawing of the present embodiment) opposite to the first direction to provide the discharge step P1.
In the spit step P1 state, the blade module 200 may provide horizontal wind.
In the horizontal wind state, the air discharged from the discharge port 102 can flow in a direction horizontal to the ceiling or the floor surface by being guided by the first blade 210 and the second blade 220.
When the discharged air is caused to flow in a horizontal wind manner, the flow distance of the air can be maximized.
In the discharge step P1 state, the upper surfaces of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 may form a continuous surface. In the discharge step P1, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are connected as a single blade and discharge air is guided.
In the present embodiment, the first vane 210 is disposed on the front side in the flow direction of the discharged air, and the second vane 220 is disposed on the rear side in the flow direction of the discharged air. The front end 222a of the second blade 220 may be close to or in contact with the rear end 212b of the first blade 210. In the discharge step P1, the distance S1 between the front end 222a of the second blade 220 and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 can be minimized.
In the discharge step P1, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is positioned above the rear end 212b of the first blade 210.
By bringing the front end 222a and the rear end 212b close to or into contact with each other, leakage of the discharged air between the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 can be minimized.
In the present embodiment, the front end 222a and the rear end 212b are brought close to each other without being in contact with each other.
Further, when the blade module 200 forms horizontal wind in the discharge step P1, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are connected and operate like one blade, and thus the airflow intensity of the horizontal wind can be increased. That is, the discharged air is guided in the horizontal direction along the top surface of the second blade 220 and the top surface of the first blade 210, and thus the directivity of the discharged air can be further enhanced as compared with the case where a horizontal wind is formed by one blade.
When the horizontal wind is generated, the second blade 220 is disposed to be slightly inclined in the vertical direction compared to the first blade 210.
In the case of the horizontal wind, the first blade 210 is preferably located below the discharge port 102 in a side view, and the second blade 220 is preferably disposed so as to overlap the discharge port 102.
In the discharge step P1 state, the second blade 220 rotates at the home position around the second blade shaft 221, and the first blade 210 is assembled with the drive coupling 240 and the first blade coupling 250 and rotates (swing) in the air discharge direction.
When proceeding from P0 to P1, the second blade 220 rotates about the second blade shaft 221, the first blade 210 moves forward in the air discharge direction and descends downward, and the front end 212a of the first blade rotates in the first direction (clockwise in the drawing).
By the rotation (rotation) of the drive coupling 240 and the first blade coupling 250, the first blade 210 can be moved to the lower side of the discharge port 102, and the first blade 210 can be arranged substantially horizontally. Since the vane of the indoor unit of the related art adopts a structure that is rotated in the home position, the arrangement of the first vane 210 as in the present embodiment cannot be achieved.
In the stop step P0, when the blade motor 230 rotates the drive link 240 in a second direction (counterclockwise), the second blade link 260 coupled to the drive link 240 will also rotate in correspondence with the drive link 240.
Specifically, when the stopping step P0 is changed to the discharge step P1, the drive link 240 rotates counterclockwise, the first blade link 210 rotates counterclockwise as the drive link 240 rotates, and the second blade link 220 relatively rotates and descends.
Since the second blade 220 is assembled to the second blade shaft 221 and the second blade link 260 to be rotatable relative to each other, the second blade 220 rotates clockwise about the second blade shaft 221 as the second blade link 220 descends.
When the stopping step P0 is changed to the discharging step P1 to generate the horizontal wind, the rotation directions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are opposite to each other.
In the discharge step P1, the vane motor 230 rotates 73 degrees (P1 rotation angle), and the first vane 210 forms a substantially 13-degree pitch (first vane P1 pitch) and the second vane 220 forms a substantially 52-degree pitch (second vane P1 pitch) as the vane motor 230 rotates.
The positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotation centers of the respective links at the discharge step P1 will be described below.
First, unlike the P0, the second joint 217 and the first joint 216 of the first blade 210 are arranged to be inclined forward in the air discharge direction. The third joint portion 226 of the second blade 220 is disposed rearwardmost, the first joint portion 216 is disposed forwardmost, and the second joint portion 217 is disposed between the first joint portion 216 and the third joint portion 226, as viewed from the side.
In the state of P1, the third joint portion 226, the second joint portion 217, and the first joint portion 216 are arranged in a row with the arrangement direction thereof facing the front lower side in the air discharge direction. According to an embodiment, the third joint portion 226, the second joint portion 217, and the first joint portion 216 may not be arranged in a row.
At the same time, the second blade shaft 221 may be disposed in a line with the third joint 226, the second joint 217, and the first joint 216. In this case, the second blade axis 221 is located on the rear side of the third joint portion 226.
In the P1 state, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 will provide horizontal wind. The horizontal wind does not indicate that the discharge direction of the air is exactly horizontal. The horizontal wind indicates an angle at which the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are connected to each other like a single blade and the discharged air can flow farthest in the horizontal direction by the connection of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220.
In the discharge step P1 state, the distance S1 between the front end 222a of the second blade 220 and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 can be minimized.
In the case of the horizontal wind, the air guided by the second blade 220 is guided toward the first blade 210. When the discharged air is caused to flow as a horizontal wind by the P1 state, the flow distance of the air can be maximized.
Since the discharge flow path 104 is formed along the vertical direction, the inclination of the second vane 220 close to the suction port 101 is formed steeper than the inclination of the first vane 210.
Further, in the spit step P1 state, the 1 st to 1 st blade link shaft 251 of the first blade link 250 is located on the lower side of the 1 st to 2 nd blade link shaft 252.
In the spit step P1 state, the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261 of the second blade link 260 is located on the lower side of the 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262.
In the ejection step P1 state, the first drive coupling shaft 241 of the drive coupling 240 is positioned below the second drive coupling shaft 242 and the core coupling shaft 243.
In the discharge step P1, the third joint portion 226 is located uppermost, the first joint portion 216 is located lowermost, and the second joint portion 217 is located therebetween in the vertical direction.
In the ejection step P1 state, the first engagement portion 216 and the second engagement portion 217 are arranged between the core coupling shaft 243 and the 1 st to 2 nd vane coupling shaft 252.
In addition, in the discharge step P1 state, the first drive link shaft 241 and the 1 st to 1 st blade link shaft 251 are positioned below the suction panel 320. In the discharge step P1 state, the first drive coupling shaft 241 and the 1 st to 1 st blade coupling shaft 251 are positioned below the discharge port 102. The 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft 261 is located at the boundary of the discharge port 102.
With the arrangement as described above, the first blade 210 is located below the discharge port 102 in the discharge step P1 state. In the discharge step P1, the front end 222a of the second vane 220 is positioned below the discharge port 102, and the rear end 222b is positioned above the discharge port 102.
Next, the relative position and direction of each link in the ejection step P1 state will be described below.
The length direction of the first drive coupler body 246 is defined as D-D'. The lengthwise direction of the first blade coupler 250 is defined as L1-L1'. The lengthwise direction of the second blade coupling 260 is defined as L2-L2'.
In the spit step P1 state, the first blade link 250, the second blade link 260, and the first drive link body 246 are arranged in the same direction. In the present embodiment, the first blade coupling 250, the second blade coupling 260, and the first drive coupling body 246 are all arranged in the vertical direction when the step P1 is discharged.
Specifically, L1-L1 'of the first blade coupling 250 is configured in a near vertical manner, as is L2-L2' of the second blade coupling 260. The first drive coupling body 246 has a D-D' arranged downward in the air discharge direction.
In the discharge step P1, the first vane 210 is positioned below the discharge port 102, and the front end 222a of the second vane 220 is positioned below the discharge port 102. That is, in the case of the horizontal wind, only a part of the second blades 220 is located outside the discharge port 102, and the entire first blades 210 are located outside the discharge port 102.
In the discharge step P1, the front end 212a of the first blade 210 is positioned further forward than the front edge 102a of the discharge port 102 with respect to the discharge port 102.
< spitting step P2>
In the horizontal wind state of the discharge step P1, the drive link 240 may be rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise direction in the drawing of the present embodiment) opposite to the first direction, thereby forming the discharge step P2.
In the spit step P2 state, the blade module 200 may provide a pitch wind. The oblique wind is defined as the spitting step between the horizontal wind and the vertical wind. In the present embodiment, the oblique wind represents steps P2, P3, P4, P5.
The oblique wind discharges air to the lower side than the horizontal wind discharging step P1. In the spitting step P2, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are both adjusted to be more downward than the step P1.
In the discharge step P2, the interval S2 between the end 222a of the second blade 220 on the front side and the end 212b of the first blade 210 on the rear side is formed wider than the interval S1 in the discharge step P1 state.
That is, when proceeding from the discharge step P1 to P2, the interval between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 becomes further. In the discharge step P2, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are arranged more vertically than in the case of P1.
When the discharge step P1 is changed to the discharge step P2, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is lowered and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 is raised.
In the discharge step P2 state, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 are located at a similar height.
When the discharge step P1 goes to P2, the second blade 220 rotates in the home position around the second blade shaft 221, and the first blade 210 is assembled with the drive link 240 and the first blade link 250 and rotates (swing).
In particular, when proceeding from P1 to P2, the first vane 210 slightly moves forward in the air discharge direction, and the front end 212a of the first vane slightly rotates in the first direction (clockwise in the drawing).
Since the second blade 220 is assembled to be rotatable relative to the second blade shaft 221 and the second blade link 260, the second blade link 220 rotates slightly more clockwise around the second blade shaft 221 as a center with the rotation.
The front end 222a of the second blade 220 is slightly rotated in the second direction (clockwise direction in the drawing).
When the discharge step P1 is changed to the discharge step P2, the rotation directions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are opposite to each other.
In the discharge step P2, the vane motor 230 rotates by 78 degrees (P2 rotation angle), and as the vane motor 230 rotates, the first vane 210 forms a substantially 16-degree pitch (first vane P2 pitch) and the second vane 220 forms a substantially 56-degree pitch (second vane P2 pitch).
The positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotation centers of the respective links at the discharge step P2 will be described below.
Similarly to the above-mentioned step P1, in the discharge step P2, the second joint portion 217 and the first joint portion 216 of the first blade 210 are arranged obliquely toward the front in the air discharge direction.
The third joint portion 226 of the second blade 220 is disposed rearwardmost, the first joint portion 216 is disposed forwardmost, and the second joint portion 217 is disposed between the first joint portion 216 and the third joint portion 226, as viewed from the side.
In the state P2, the third joint 226, the second joint 217, and the first joint 216 are arranged so as to face forward and downward in the air discharge direction when the blade module 200 is viewed from the side.
The third joint 226 moves slightly further downward and the first joint 216 and the second joint 217 move slightly further forward with respect to the discharge step P2. That is, the second blade 220 and the first blade 210 are spaced apart slightly more.
In the spit step P2 state, the arrangement of the first blade link 250, the second blade link 260, and the drive link 240 is similar to the spit step P1.
In the spit step P2 state, the 1 st to 1 st blade link shaft 251 of the first blade link 250 is located on the lower side of the 1 st to 2 nd blade link shaft 252. In the spit step P2 state, the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261 of the second blade link 260 is located on the lower side of the 2 nd-2 nd blade link shaft portion 262. In the ejection step P2 state, the first drive coupling shaft 241 of the drive coupling 240 is positioned below the second drive coupling shaft 242 and the core coupling shaft 243.
In the discharge step P2 state, the second blade shaft 221 is positioned on the uppermost side, the third joint portion 226 is positioned below the second blade shaft 221, the second joint portion 217 is positioned below the third joint portion 226, and the first joint portion 216 is positioned below the second joint portion 217.
In the ejection step P2 state, the second joint 217 rotates slightly further toward the 1 st to 2 nd vane coupling shaft 252 about the core coupling shaft 243.
In the discharge step P2 state with the suction panel 320 or the discharge port 102 as a reference, the entire first vane 210 is positioned below the discharge port 102. In the discharge step P2, the front end 222a of the second vane 220 is positioned below the discharge port 102, and the rear end 222b is positioned above the discharge port 102.
Thus, in the discharge step P2 state, the first drive coupling shaft 241 and the 1 st to 1 st blade coupling shaft 251 are positioned below the suction panel 320. In the discharge step P2 state, the first drive coupling shaft 241 and the 1 st to 1 st blade coupling shaft 251 are positioned below the discharge port 102. The 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft 261 is located at the boundary of the discharge port 102.
Next, the relative position and direction of each link in the discharge step P2 state will be described below.
In the discharge step P2 state, the first blade coupling 250 and the second blade coupling 260 are arranged in substantially the same direction, and the first drive coupling body 246 is arranged obliquely toward the front lower side. In particular, in the discharge step P2 state, the first blade coupling 250 and the second blade coupling 260 are arranged substantially vertically.
Specifically, when the discharge step P1 state is changed to the discharge step P2 state, L1-L1' of the first blade coupling 250 slightly rotates toward the air discharge direction side. When the discharge step P1 state is changed to the discharge step P2 state, L2-L2' of the second blade coupling 260 slightly rotates toward the opposite side of the air discharge direction. When the discharge step P1 state is changed to the discharge step P2 state, the D-D' of the first drive coupling body 246 rotates slightly further toward the air discharge direction side.
In the discharge step P2, the entire first vane 210 is positioned below the discharge port 102, and only the front end 222a of the second vane 220 is positioned below the discharge port 102.
When the discharge step P1 is changed to the discharge step P2, the front end 212a of the first blade 210 moves slightly forward relative to the front edge 102a of the discharge port 102 with respect to the discharge port 102.
< spitting step P3>
In the discharge step P2 state, the drive link 240 may be rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise in the drawing of the present embodiment) opposite to the first direction, thereby forming a discharge step P3.
In the spitting step P3 state, the blade module 200 may provide a diagonal wind spitting more downward than when the step P2 is spitted.
The oblique wind of the discharge step P3 discharges air to the lower side than the oblique wind of the step P2. In the spit step P3, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are both adjusted to be more downward than the step P2.
In the discharge step P3, the interval S3 between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is wider than the interval S2 in the discharge step P2 state.
That is, when proceeding from the discharge step P2 to P3, the interval between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 becomes further. In the discharge step P3, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are arranged more vertically than in the case of P2.
When the discharge step P2 is changed to the discharge step P3, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is further lowered and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 is further raised.
In the discharge step P3 state, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is positioned below the rear end 212b of the first blade 210.
When the discharge step P2 goes to P3, the second blade 220 rotates in the home position around the second blade shaft 221, and the first blade 210 is assembled with the drive link 240 and the first blade link 250 and rotates (swing).
When proceeding from the spit step P2 to P3, the first blade 210 is positioned at the near home position and rotates in the first direction (clockwise). When the ejection step P2 goes to P3, the second blade 220 further rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction).
When the discharge step P2 goes to P3, the first blade 210 does not advance in the discharge direction, but instead rotates in the first direction (clockwise) at the home position.
When the discharge step P2 goes to P3, the front end 222a of the second vane 220 slightly rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) as the second vane link 220 descends.
When the discharge step P2 is changed to the discharge step P3, the rotation directions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 become the same.
In the discharge step P3, the vane motor 230 rotates by 95 degrees (P3 rotation angle), the first vane 210 forms a substantially 29-degree pitch (first vane P3 pitch) and the second vane 220 forms a substantially 67-degree pitch (second vane P3 pitch) as the vane motor 230 rotates.
The positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotation centers of the respective links at the discharge step P3 will be described below.
Similarly to the above-mentioned step P2, in the discharge step P3, the second joint portion 217 and the first joint portion 216 of the first blade 210 are arranged obliquely toward the front in the air discharge direction.
The third joint portion 226 of the second blade 220 is disposed rearwardmost, the first joint portion 216 is disposed forwardmost, and the second joint portion 217 is disposed between the first joint portion 216 and the third joint portion 226, as viewed from the side.
The third joint 226 moves slightly further downward based on the discharge step P3. As the first blade coupling 250 and the first drive coupling body 246 rotate in the second direction, the first engagement portion 216 and the second engagement portion 217 rise upward with respect to the discharge step P3.
Since the length of the first drive coupler body 246 is shorter than the length of the first blade coupler 250, the upper height of the second joint 217 will be greater.
In the spit step P3 state, the arrangement of each shaft in the drive link 240, the first blade link 250, and the second blade link 260 is similar to the spit step P2 state.
However, the relative heights of the first drive link shaft 241, the 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251, and the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261, which rotate as the drive links 240, the first blade links 250, and the second blade links 260 operate, will change.
In the spit step P3 state, the first drive link shaft 241 ascends and the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261 descends to be formed at a similar height in the up-down direction.
When the discharge step P2 is changed to the P3 state, the second engagement portion 217 rotates slightly further toward the 1 st-2 nd vane coupling shaft 252 about the core coupling shaft 243, and the second engagement portion 217 and the 2 nd-1 st vane coupling shaft 261 become farther apart.
In the ejection step P3 state, the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262 is located at a position lower than the core coupling shaft 243.
When the discharge step P2 state is changed to the discharge step P3 state, the 2 nd to 1 st blade coupling shaft 261 moves more rearward than the 2 nd to 2 nd blade coupling shaft portion 262.
The positions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 in the discharge step P3 state are similar to the discharge step P2 with respect to the suction panel 320 and the discharge port 102.
Thus, in the discharge step P3 state, the first drive coupling shaft 241 and the 1 st to 1 st blade coupling shaft 251 are positioned below the suction panel 320 and the discharge port 102. The 2 nd-1 th blade coupling shaft 261 is located at the boundary of the discharge port 102.
Next, the relative position and direction of each link in the ejection step P3 state will be described below.
In the discharge step P3 state, the first blade link 250 and the second blade link 260 are arranged in opposite directions to each other.
In the discharge step P3 state, the first drive coupling body 246 and the first blade coupling 250 are disposed obliquely toward the front lower side. In the discharge step P3 state, the second drive coupling body 247 is disposed so as to face the rear side, and the second blade coupling 260 is disposed so as to face the rear lower side.
Specifically, when the discharge step P2 state is changed to the discharge step P3 state, L1-L1' of the first blade coupling 250 slightly rotates toward the air discharge direction side. When the discharge step P2 state is changed to the discharge step P3 state, L2-L2' of the second blade coupling 260 slightly rotates toward the opposite side of the air discharge direction. When the discharge step P2 state is changed to the discharge step P3 state, the D-D' of the first drive coupling body 246 rotates slightly further toward the air discharge direction side.
When the discharge step P2 is changed to the discharge step P3, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 both rotate or rotate slightly more vertically downward with respect to the discharge port 102.
< spitting step P4>
In the discharge step P3 state, the drive link 240 may be rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise in the drawing of the present embodiment) opposite to the first direction, thereby forming a discharge step P4.
In the spitting step P4 state, the blade module 200 may provide a diagonal wind spitting more downward than when the step P3 is spitted. The oblique wind of the discharge step P4 discharges air to the lower side than the oblique wind of the step P3.
In the discharge step P4, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are both adjusted to be located further downward than the discharge step P3.
In the discharge step P4, the interval S4 between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is wider than the interval S3 in the discharge step P3 state.
When proceeding from the discharge step P3 to P4, the interval between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 becomes further. In the discharge step P4, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are arranged more vertically than in the case of P3.
When the discharge step P3 is changed to the discharge step P4, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is further lowered, and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 is further raised.
In the discharge step P4, the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 is located at a position lower than the discharge step P3, and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is located at a position higher than the discharge step P3.
When the discharge step P3 proceeds to P4, the second blade 220 rotates at the home position around the second blade shaft 221. When the discharge step P3 goes to P4, the first engaging portion 216 of the first blade 210 stays at the near-home position, and the second engaging portion 217 rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) about the first engaging portion 216.
That is, when proceeding from the spit step P3 to P4, the first blade 210 is not nearly moved, but is rotated in the home position. When the ejection step P3 proceeds to P4, the first blade 210 rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) around the first joint 216.
When the ejection step P3 goes to P4, the second blade 220 further rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction).
When the discharge step P3 goes to P4, the front end 222a of the second vane 220 slightly rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) as the second vane link 220 descends.
When the discharge step P3 is changed to the discharge step P4, the rotation directions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 become the same.
When changing from the discharge step P3 to the discharge step P4, the 1 st to 1 st blade link shaft 251 may be located further forward than the 1 st to 2 nd blade link shaft 252.
In the discharge step P4, the vane motor 230 rotates by 100 degrees (P4 rotation angle), and the first vane 210 forms a substantially 35-degree pitch (first vane P4 pitch) and the second vane 220 forms a substantially 70-degree pitch (second vane P4 pitch) as the vane motor 230 rotates.
The positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotation centers of the respective links at the discharge step P4 will be described below.
Similarly to the above-mentioned step P3, in the discharge step P4, the second joint portion 217 and the first joint portion 216 of the first blade 210 are arranged obliquely toward the front in the air discharge direction.
The third joint portion 226 of the second blade 220 is disposed rearwardmost, the first joint portion 216 is disposed forwardmost, and the second joint portion 217 is disposed between the first joint portion 216 and the third joint portion 226, as viewed from the side.
The third joint 226 moves slightly further downward based on the discharge step P4. With the discharge step P4 as a reference, the first engagement portion 216 of the first blade coupling 250 is slightly raised in the second direction (counterclockwise direction) or positioned at a nearly home position, and the second engagement portion 217 rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) about the first engagement portion 216.
When the first blade 210 is rotated at or above the discharge step P4, the first blade 210 moves in the direction opposite to the current direction of travel. From the ejection step P1 to the ejection step P4, the first blade 210 moves in the air ejection direction and rotates in the first direction (clockwise) about the second joint 217.
In the spit step P4 state, the arrangement of each shaft in the drive link 240, the first blade link 250, and the second blade link 260 is similar to the spit step P3 state. Only, in the ejection step P4 state, the longitudinal direction of the first drive coupling body 246, the second engagement portion 217, and the first engagement portion 216 are arranged in a line.
The relative heights of the first drive link shaft 241, 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251, 2 st-1 st blade link shaft 261, which rotate as the drive links 240, first blade links 250, and second blade links 260 operate, will change.
In the spit step P4 state, the first drive link shaft 241 ascends, the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261 descends, and the first drive link shaft 241 is located at a slightly higher position than the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261.
When the discharge step P3 is changed to the P4 state, the second engaging portion 217 is slightly rotated toward the 1 st to 2 nd vane coupling shaft 252 about the core coupling shaft 243, and the core coupling shaft 243, the first drive coupling shaft 241, and the 1 st to 1 st vane coupling shaft 251 are linearly arranged in a row.
In the ejection step P4 state, the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262 is located at a position lower than the core coupling shaft 243.
When the discharge step P3 state is changed to the discharge step P4 state, the 2 nd to 1 st blade coupling shaft 261 is slightly moved more rearward than the 2 nd to 2 nd blade coupling shaft portion 262.
The positions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 in the discharge step P4 state are similar to the discharge step P3 with respect to the suction panel 320 and the discharge port 102.
Next, the relative position and direction of each link in the ejection step P4 state will be described below.
When the discharge step P3 is changed to the discharge step P4 state, the first blade link 250 and the second blade link 260 are arranged in opposite directions to each other. When the discharge step P3 is changed to the discharge step P4 state, the first blade coupling 250 may be rotated almost not, but only the second blade coupling 260 may be rotated to the rear side.
In the present embodiment, there are no additional structural elements for limiting the movement of the first blade coupling 250. In this embodiment, movement of the first blade coupling 250 may be limited by the combined relationship of the first blade coupling 250, the first blade 210, and the first drive coupling body 246.
In the discharge step P4 state, the first drive coupling body 246 and the first blade coupling 250 are disposed obliquely toward the front lower side. In the discharge step P4 state, the second drive coupling body 247 is disposed so as to face the rear side, and the second blade coupling 260 is disposed so as to face the rear lower side.
In the present embodiment, when the discharge step P3 state is changed to the discharge step P4 state, L1-L1' of the first blade coupling 250 can be rotated slightly more toward the air discharge direction side. When the discharge step P3 state is changed to the discharge step P4 state, L2-L2' of the second blade coupling 260 slightly rotates toward the opposite side of the air discharge direction. When the discharge step P3 state is changed to the discharge step P4 state, the D-D' of the first drive coupling body 246 rotates slightly further toward the air discharge direction side. A virtual straight line connecting the first joint 216 and the second joint 217 is defined as B-B'.
In the spit step P4, D-D 'and B-B' are connected as a straight line and form an angle of 180 degrees.
In the ejection steps P1 to P3, D-D 'and B-B' form an angle of 180 degrees or less, in the ejection step P4 form an angle of 180 degrees, and in the ejection steps P5 and P6 form an angle of 180 degrees or more.
< spitting step P5>
In the discharge step P4 state, the drive link 240 may be rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise in the drawing of the present embodiment) opposite to the first direction, thereby forming a discharge step P5.
In the spitting step P5 state, the blade module 200 may provide a diagonal wind spitting more downward than when the step P4 is spitted. The oblique wind of the discharge step P5 discharges air to the lower side than the oblique wind of the discharge step P4.
In the discharge step P5, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are both adjusted to be slightly more downward than the discharge step P4.
In the discharge step P5, the interval S5 between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is wider than the interval S4 in the discharge step P4 state.
When proceeding from the discharge step P4 to P5, the interval between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 becomes further. In the discharge step P5, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are arranged more vertically than in the case of P4.
When the discharge step P4 is changed to the discharge step P5, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is further lowered, and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 is further raised.
In the discharge step P5, the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 is located at a position lower than the discharge step P4, and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is located at a position higher than the discharge step P4.
When the discharge step P4 proceeds to P5, the second blade 220 rotates at the home position around the second blade shaft 221. When the discharge step P4 goes to P5, the first engaging portion 216 of the first blade 210 stays at the near-home position, and the second engaging portion 217 rotates slightly further in the first direction (clockwise direction) around the first engaging portion 216.
That is, when the discharge step P4 goes to P5, the first blade 210 is not almost moved but rotated at the home position around the first engagement portion 216.
When the discharge step P4 goes to P5, the first blade 210 slightly rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) around the first joint 216. When the discharge step P4 goes to P5, the second blade 220 rotates slightly more in the first direction (clockwise direction).
When the discharge step P4 goes to P5, the front end 222a of the second vane 220 slightly rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) as the second vane link 220 descends.
When the discharge step P4 is changed to the discharge step P5, the rotation directions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 become the same.
When changing from the discharge step P4 to the discharge step P5, the 1 st to 1 st blade link shaft 251 may be located further forward than the 1 st to 2 nd blade link shaft 252.
In the discharge step P5, the vane motor 230 rotates by 105 degrees (P5 rotation angle), and as the vane motor 230 rotates, the first vane 210 forms a substantially 44-degree pitch (first vane P5 pitch) and the second vane 220 forms a substantially 72-degree pitch (second vane P5 pitch).
The positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotation centers of the respective links at the discharge step P5 will be described below.
Similarly to the ejection step P4, in the ejection step P5, the second joint portion 217 and the first joint portion 216 of the first blade 210 are arranged obliquely toward the front in the ejection direction of the air.
The third joint portion 226 of the second blade 220 is disposed rearwardmost, the first joint portion 216 is disposed forwardmost, and the second joint portion 217 is disposed between the first joint portion 216 and the third joint portion 226, as viewed from the side.
The third engagement portion 226 moves slightly further downward with the discharge step P5 as a reference, and the second engagement portion 217 of the first blade coupling 250 rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) about the first engagement portion 216.
In the ejection step P5, the second joint portion 217 is disposed so as to project toward the 1 st to 2 nd blade coupling shaft 252 side with reference to a virtual straight line connecting the core coupling shaft 243 and the first joint portion 216.
In the spit step P5 state, the arrangement of each shaft in the drive link 240, the first blade link 250, and the second blade link 260 is similar to the spit step P4 state.
The relative heights of the first drive link shaft 241, 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251, 2 st-1 st blade link shaft 261, which rotate as the drive links 240, first blade links 250, and second blade links 260 operate, will change.
When the discharge step P4 state is changed to the discharge step P5 state, the first drive link shaft 241 rises and the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261 falls. Thus, in the spit step P5, the first drive link shaft 241 is located at a slightly higher position than the 2 nd-1 st blade link shaft 261.
When the discharge step P4 is changed to the discharge step P5, the second engaging portion 217 rotates about the core coupling shaft 243, and the second engaging portion 217 slightly rotates toward the 1 st to 2 nd vane coupling shaft 252.
In the ejection step P4, the core coupling shaft 243, the first drive coupling shaft 241, and the 1 st to 1 st blade coupling shaft 251 are arranged in a row, and in the ejection step P5, the core coupling shaft 243, the first drive coupling shaft 241, and the 1 st to 1 st blade coupling shaft 251 form an obtuse angle of 180 degrees or more (with reference to D-D').
In the ejection step P5 state, the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262 is located at a position lower than the core coupling shaft 243. When proceeding from the ejection step P1 to the ejection step P6, the included angle formed by the core coupler shaft 243, the 2 nd-2 nd vane coupler shaft portion 262, and the third engagement portion 226 will gradually increase.
However, when the ejection step P1 is advanced to the ejection step P6, the included angle formed by the core coupling shaft 243, the 2 nd-2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262, and the third engagement portion 226 is formed to be within 180 degrees.
When the ejection step P4 state is changed to the ejection step P5 state, the 2 nd to 1 st vane coupling shaft 261 is moved slightly more rearward than the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262 and is positioned between the third joint portion 226 and the core coupling shaft 243.
The positions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 in the discharge step P5 state are similar to the discharge step P4 with respect to the suction panel 320 and the discharge port 102.
Next, the relative position and direction of each link in the ejection step P5 state will be described below.
When the discharge step P4 is changed to the discharge step P5 state, the first blade link 250 and the second blade link 260 are arranged in opposite directions to each other. When the discharge step P4 is changed to the discharge step P5 state, the first blade coupling 250 may be almost not rotated, and only the second blade coupling 260 may be further rotated to the rear side.
In the spit step P5 state, the arrangement of the first drive link body 246, first blade link 250, and second blade link 260 is similar to the spit step P4 state.
In the present embodiment, when the discharge step P4 state is changed to the discharge step P5 state, L1-L1' of the first blade coupling 250 can be rotated in the opposite direction to the discharge direction of the air. When the discharge step P4 state is changed to the discharge step P5 state, L2-L2' of the second blade coupling 260 slightly rotates toward the opposite side of the air discharge direction. When the discharge step P4 state is changed to the discharge step P5 state, the first drive coupling body 246 rotates D-D' in the air discharge direction side.
In the ejection step P5, the angle between D-D 'and B-B' is an obtuse angle.
When the discharge step P1 is advanced to the discharge step P4 from the state of the discharge step P1, the front end 212a of the first blade is moved in the air discharge direction (front side), and when the discharge step P4 is advanced to the discharge step P6, the front end 212a of the first blade is moved in the opposite side (rear side) to the air discharge direction.
Thus, when the discharge step P6 is reached from the discharge step P4 state, the first blade 210 can be disposed somewhat more vertically.
< spitting step P6>
In the present embodiment, the state of the blade module 200 that delivers the step P6 is defined as the vertical wind.
The vertical wind does not mean that the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 constituting the blade module 200 are vertically arranged, and means that air discharged from the discharge port 102 is discharged to the lower side of the discharge port 102.
In the discharge step P5 state, the drive link 240 may be rotated in a second direction (counterclockwise in the drawing of the present embodiment) opposite to the first direction, thereby forming a discharge step P6. In the ejection step P6, the flow of the ejection air in the horizontal direction is minimized, and the flow thereof in the vertical direction is maximized. The vertical wind of the discharge step P6 discharges air to the lower side than the oblique wind of the discharge step P5.
In the discharge step P6, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are both adjusted to be slightly more downward than the discharge step P5.
In the discharge step P6, the interval S6 between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is wider than the interval S5 in the discharge step P5 state.
When proceeding from the discharge step P5 to P6, the interval between the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 becomes further. In the discharge step P6, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are arranged more vertically than in the case of P5.
When the discharge step P5 is changed to the discharge step P6, the front end 222a of the second blade 220 is further lowered, and the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 is further raised.
In the discharge step P6, the end 222a on the front side of the second blade 220 is located at a position lower than the discharge step P5, and the end 212b on the rear side of the first blade 210 is located at a position higher than the discharge step P5.
When the discharge step P5 proceeds to P6, the second blade 220 rotates at the home position around the second blade shaft 221. When the discharge step P5 goes to P6, the first engaging portion 216 of the first blade 210 stays at the near-home position, and the second engaging portion 217 rotates slightly further in the first direction (clockwise direction) around the first engaging portion 216.
That is, when proceeding from the discharge step P5 to P6, the first blade 210 may move to the rear side. When the discharge step P5 goes to P6, the first blade 210 rotates slightly further in the first direction (clockwise direction) about the first joint 216, and therefore the front end 212a of the first blade 210 moves rearward.
When the discharge step P5 goes to P6, the second blade 220 rotates slightly more in the first direction (clockwise direction). When the discharge step P5 goes to P6, the front end 222a of the second vane 220 slightly rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) as the second vane link 220 descends.
When the discharge step P5 is changed to the discharge step P6, the rotation directions of the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 become the same.
In the discharge step P6, the vane motor 230 rotates by 110 degrees (P5 rotation angle), and as the vane motor 230 rotates, the first vane 210 forms a substantially 56-degree pitch (first vane P6 pitch) and the second vane 220 forms a substantially 74-degree pitch (second vane P6 pitch).
The positional relationship of the shafts forming the rotation centers of the respective links at the discharge step P6 will be described below.
Similarly to the ejection step P5, in the ejection step P6, the second joint portion 217 and the first joint portion 216 of the first blade 210 are arranged obliquely toward the front in the ejection direction of the air.
The third joint portion 226 of the second blade 220 is disposed rearwardmost, the first joint portion 216 is disposed forwardmost, and the second joint portion 217 is disposed between the first joint portion 216 and the third joint portion 226, as viewed from the side.
The third engagement portion 226 moves slightly further downward with the discharge step P6 as a reference, and the second engagement portion 217 of the first blade coupling 250 rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction) about the first engagement portion 216.
In the ejection step P6, the second joint 217 is disposed to slightly protrude toward the 1 st to 2 nd vane coupling shaft 252 side with reference to a virtual straight line connecting the core coupling shaft 243 and the first joint 216.
In the spit step P6 state, the arrangement of each shaft in the drive link 240, the first blade link 250, and the second blade link 260 is similar to the spit step P5 state.
The relative heights of the first drive link shaft 241, 1 st-1 st blade link shaft 251, 2 st-1 st blade link shaft 261, which rotate as the drive links 240, first blade links 250, and second blade links 260 operate, will change.
When the discharge step P5 state is changed to the discharge step P6 state, the first drive link shaft 241 rises and the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261 falls. Thus, in the spit step P6, the first drive link shaft 241 is located at a higher position than the 2 nd to 1 st blade link shaft 261.
When the discharge step P5 is changed to the discharge step P6, the second engaging portion 217 rotates about the core coupling shaft 243, and the second engaging portion 217 slightly rotates toward the 1 st to 2 nd vane coupling shaft 252.
In the ejection step P6, at least a portion of the second engagement portion 217 may overlap with the first blade coupling body 255 as viewed from the side. Since the second engagement portion 217 is moved to a position overlapping the first blade coupling body 255, the first blade 210 can be arranged more vertically.
In the ejection step P6, the second joint 217 does not move forward beyond L1-L1'. The second engagement portion 217 does not move further forward than the first blade coupling body 255. In the case where the second engagement portion 217 is excessively moved forward, it may not be restored to the home position even if the vane motor is rotated in the first direction (clockwise).
In order to prevent the over-rotation of the drive coupler 240 as described above, in the ejection step P6, the first drive coupler body 246 and the one side end 270a of the stopper 270 are caused to interfere with each other. The first drive coupler body 246 is supported against the stop 270 and further rotation thereof will be limited.
In the ejection step P6, the core coupling shaft 243, the first drive coupling shaft 241, and the 1 st to 1 st vane coupling shaft 251 form an obtuse angle (based on D-D') of 180 degrees or more.
When changing from the discharge step P5 to the discharge step P6, the 1 st to 1 st blade link shaft 251 may be located further forward than the 1 st to 2 nd blade link shaft 252.
In the state of the spit step P6, the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262 is arranged on the lower side of the core coupling shaft 243, the second engaging portion 217 is arranged on the lower side of the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262, the third engaging portion 226 is arranged on the lower side of the second engaging portion 217, and the first engaging portion 216 is arranged on the lower side of the third engaging portion 226.
When the ejection step P5 state is changed to the ejection step P6 state, the 2 nd to 1 st vane coupling shaft 261 is moved slightly more rearward than the 2 nd to 2 nd vane coupling shaft portion 262 and is positioned between the third joint portion 226 and the core coupling shaft 243.
Next, the relative position and direction of each link in the ejection step P6 state will be described below.
When the discharge step P5 is changed to the discharge step P6 state, the first blade link 250 and the second blade link 260 are arranged in opposite directions to each other. When the discharge step P5 is changed to the discharge step P6 state, the first blade coupling 250 may be almost not rotated, and only the second blade coupling 260 may be further rotated to the rear side.
In the spit step P6 state, the arrangement of the first drive link body 246, first blade link 250, and second blade link 260 is similar to the spit step P5 state.
In the present embodiment, when the discharge step P5 state is changed to the discharge step P6 state, L1-L1' of the first blade coupling 250 can be rotated slightly further to the opposite side of the discharge direction of the air. When the discharge step P5 state is changed to the discharge step P6 state, L2-L2' of the second blade coupling 260 slightly rotates toward the opposite side of the air discharge direction. When the discharge step P5 state is changed to the discharge step P6 state, the D-D' of the first drive coupling body 246 can be rotated slightly further to the opposite side of the air discharge direction.
The obtuse angle in the discharge step P6 as the angle between D-D 'and B-B' is greater than the obtuse angle in the discharge step P5 as the angle between D-D 'and B-B'.
When the discharge step P1 is reached the discharge step P4, the front end 212a of the first vane moves in the air discharge direction (front side).
When the discharge step P1 state is advanced to the discharge step P4, the first blade link 250 rotates in the second direction (counterclockwise direction), and when the discharge step P4 state is advanced to the discharge step P6, the first blade link 250 rotates in the first direction (clockwise direction).
Thus, when the discharge step P1 is reached the discharge step P4, the front end 212a of the first blade rotates in the second direction and rises. However, when the discharge step P4 is reached the discharge step P6, the front end 212a of the first blade rotates in the first direction and descends. That is, the movement of the first blade 210 is changed based on the discharge step P4.
When the discharge step P4 is reached to the discharge step P6, the first blade 210 can be arranged more vertically. In the ejection step P6 state, the rear end 212b of the first vane 210 is positioned forward of the core coupling shaft 243.
When the blade module 200 forms a vertical wind in the spitting step P6, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are spaced apart to the maximum extent.
When the step P6 is discharged, one or more of the second engagement portion 217 and the first drive coupling shaft 241 overlap the first blade coupling 250 when viewed from the side of the blade module 200.
In the case of the spitting step P6, one or more of the second engaging portion 217 or the first drive link shaft 241 is located on or behind the line L1-L1' of the first blade link 250 as viewed from the side of the blade module 200.
When the step P6 is discharged, the rear end 212b of the first blade 210 is positioned inside the discharge port 102 and higher than the outer surface of the side cover 314 when viewed from the side of the blade module 200. Since the rear end 212b of the first vane 210 is positioned inside the discharge port 102, the air in the discharge port 102 can be guided in a more vertical direction.
While the embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments, but may be manufactured in various forms different from each other, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that the present invention may be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical idea or essential features of the present invention. The embodiments described above are therefore illustrative in all respects, rather than restrictive.
