A blower motor 3, a blower 4, an air outlet 5 provided on the entire side surface of the upper part of the air conditioner main body, and a ceiling provided above the air outlet 5 and provided perpendicular to the flow of air blown out from the air outlet 5. It is composed of a plate 6 and a shaft 7 provided at the center of the top plate 6.

The operation of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described below.

First, air sucked from a suction grill 1 provided on the entire side surface of the lower part of the air conditioner passes through a heat exchanger 2,
The air blown by the blower motor 3 and the blower 4 from the blowout port 5 hits the top plate 6 and is blown out to the entire side of the upper side of the air conditioner, so that the direction of the suction port and the blowout port is not limited. Air conditioning can be performed in all directions on the sides.

Embodiment 2 FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of an air conditioner according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. FIGS. 5 and 6 are front views showing the flow of air through the gap between the top plate and the outlet of the air conditioner of the embodiment.

4, 5 and 6, a bearing 8 for vertically sliding a shaft 7 supporting the top plate 6 is provided.
And a fixing screw 9 for fixing the shaft 7.

The operation of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described below.

When the top plate 6 is slid up and the gap between the top plate 6 and the outlet 5 is widened and fixed with the fixing screw 9, the ratio of the blown air to the top plate 6 is reduced and the angle of the blown air is reduced. It becomes upward from the horizontal, the reaching distance of the blow-out air can be extended, and when the gap between the top plate 6 and the blow-out port 5 is narrowed and fixed with the fixing screw 9, the ratio of the blow-out air to the top plate 6 increases. The angle of the blown air becomes lower than horizontal, and the reach of the blown air can be shortened.

(Embodiment 3) FIG. 7 is a longitudinal sectional view of an air conditioner according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are front views showing the air flow of the air conditioner of the embodiment in which the balance between the left and right gaps between the top plate and the outlet is changed.

7, 8, and 9, a conical rectifier 10 is provided below the top plate 6 and has a vertex directed in the direction in which the blown air flows, and is located at the root of a shaft 7 that supports the top plate 6. It comprises a slide mechanism 11 and a rail 12 for sliding the slide mechanism 11 in the left and right direction.

The operation of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described below.

The rectifier 10 and the outlet 5 are slid by sliding the slide mechanism 11 left and right on the rail 12.
Since the left and right balance of the blown air passing through the gap changes, a large amount of blown air flows to a portion where the gap between the rectifier 10 and the outlet 5 is large, and a small amount of blown air flows to a portion where the gap between the rectifier 10 and the outlet 5 is small. Left and right air volume can be changed.

(Embodiment 4) FIG. 10 is a longitudinal sectional view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIGS. 11 and 12 are front views showing the flow of air with the angle of the top plate of the air conditioner of the embodiment changed.

In FIG. 10, FIG. 11, and FIG.
An angle changing structure 13 is provided at the base of the shaft 7 for supporting the table 6 to change the angle of the top 6, and an angle fixing screw 14 for fixing the angle of the top 6.

The operation of the air conditioner configured as described above will be described below.

The angle between the top plate 6 and the outlet 5 is changed by changing the angle of the top plate 6 with the angle changing structure 13 and fixing it with the angle fixing screw 14. It flows in the direction of the gap with the outlet 5 wide, and the direction of the blown air can be changed.
