DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as examples. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of an air conditioner according to the present invention, (A) is a cross-sectional view, and (B).
2 is a sectional view of a main part, FIG. 2 is an explanatory view of a main part of the air conditioner according to the present invention, (A) shows a state where the diffuser is not turned, and (B) shows a state where the diffuser is turned downward. Are shown respectively.

In the figure, 1 is an air conditioner main body according to the present invention, 2 is a suction port provided on the upper front and upper surfaces of the main body 1, 3 is an outlet provided on a lower front face, and 4 is the suction port 2 A heat exchanger provided in an air passage connecting the air outlet and the air outlet 3; a blower fan 5 provided in the air passage; 7 an upper surface 7a forming a lower end portion of the air outlet 3; The lower surface 7b extending rearward from the front end of 7a has a substantially V section.
The diffuser is shaped like a letter and is rotatably supported by a support shaft a.

When the diffuser 7 is rotatably supported by the support shaft portion a at the outlet 3, the diffuser 7 is rotated downward as shown in FIG. The air blown out from the air outlet 3 can be effectively blown downward.

By the way, as described above, when the cool air is blown out from the blow-out port 3 during the cooling operation, dew water tends to be generated particularly on the surface of the diffuser 7, so that the dew water is prevented from being generated. The diffuser 7 has high heat insulation performance, or
It is desired to take measures to prevent the generated condensed water from dropping into the room to be air-conditioned or to take any measures.

Therefore, as a cost-effective measure, FIG.
2A and 2B, a porous water absorbing member 8 is provided between the upper surface 7a and the lower surface 7b.
The upper surface 7a is provided with a water guiding hole 9 connected to the water absorbing member 8, whereby the dew water b attached to the upper surface 7a is guided from the water guiding hole 9 to the water absorbing member 8. Water will be absorbed, and there is no fear that the condensed water b drops from the diffuser 7 into the room to be air-conditioned.

The dew water b guided by the water absorbing member 8 and absorbed by water evaporates little by little by natural drying.

A plurality of the water guide holes 9 are provided in the longitudinal direction of the upper surface 7a, and the rear surface of the upper surface 7a is formed so as to expand.
Can be smoothly and effectively guided toward the water-absorbing member 8, and as shown in an arrow A view shown by a broken line in FIG. When looking up at the diffuser 7, the water absorbing member 8 is difficult to be visually recognized directly, so that there is no fear of visual unnaturalness and design quality is not impaired.

[0016]

As described above, according to the present invention,
An air conditioner is provided in which dew condensation water adhering to a diffuser constituting a lower end portion of an outlet is prevented from dripping into a room to be air-conditioned.
