FIG.

  First, the schematic structure of the air conditioner according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 1, the air conditioner according to this embodiment includes a refrigerant pipe (not shown) including an outdoor unit (not shown) provided with a compressor and an outdoor unit (not shown) provided with a blower fan and attached to an indoor wall surface. By connecting via, the indoor unit 1 enables the air conditioning.

  The indoor unit 1 includes a horizontally long casing 10 having a height dimension larger than the depth dimension and a width dimension larger than the height dimension. The housing 10 is formed at the front portion of the lower surface of the housing 10 with air taken from the upper suction portion 20 formed on the upper surface of the housing 10 and the front suction portion 40 formed on the front upper portion of the housing 10. An air flow path 13 that blows out from the blow-out portion 60 is formed inside. And the cross flow fan 11 arrange | positioned so that the longitudinal direction may correspond with the longitudinal direction of this housing | casing 10 so that it may be located in the center of this air flow path 13, and the front and upper part of this cross flow fan 11 may be covered. The heat exchanger 12 to be arranged is incorporated.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 3C, a front drain tray 14 and a rear drain tray 15 are provided in front of and behind the cross-flow fan 11 disposed in the approximate center of the housing 10, and the front drain tray 14 and The heat exchanger 12 is arranged so as to cover the upper part of the once-through fan 11 across the rear drain pan 15.

  Further, the indoor air intake of this embodiment is composed of an upper suction portion 20 that is always opened and a front suction portion 40 that is provided so that the movable panel 41 can be opened and closed. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), since the cross-sectional shape has a substantially rectangular shape, the upper suction portion 20 is provided on a substantially horizontal upper surface, and the front suction portion 40 is substantially vertical. It is formed with a size of about 3/5 of the upper part of the front surface of the casing. In this embodiment, the front suction part 40 formed at the upper part of the front surface of the housing is provided with a structure for opening and closing via the movable panel 41.

  The movable panel 41 is formed of a plate-like member, and a lower end portion thereof is rotatably attached via a panel rotation shaft 42, and an upper portion thereof is connected to a panel drive mechanism portion 43 provided in the housing 10. ing. According to this structure, by operating the panel driving mechanism 43, the upper portion of the movable panel 41 can be swung around the panel rotation shaft 42. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The state which closed the part suction part 40 and the state which opened the front part suction part 40 as shown to (c) figure can be taken.

  Moreover, as shown in (c) figure, the blowing part 60 opens the lower part of the once-through fan 11 and the front drain pan 14 so that the air blown from the once-through fan 11 can be blown forward. It is formed along the longitudinal direction of the casing 10. The blowing portion 60 is provided with a wind direction plate 61 including a front wind direction plate 62 and a rear wind direction plate 63. The wind direction plate 61 opens the blowing unit 60 through a wind direction plate driving mechanism unit (not shown) as shown in FIG. 5B and the blowing unit 60 as shown in FIG. Thus, the air flow can be operated at a predetermined angle so as to guide the air flow in a predetermined direction.

  In this embodiment, the cross-flow fan 11, the panel drive mechanism 43, the wind direction plate drive mechanism, and the like are collectively controlled by a control unit (not shown) provided in the housing 10, and the control unit is controlled by a remote operation device (not shown). An operation instruction can be received.

  And in the operation stop state, the control unit according to this embodiment closes the movable panel 41 and the wind direction plate 61 so as to conceal the front suction unit 40 and the blowing unit 60 as shown in FIG. In the operation state, the movable panel 41 and the wind direction plate 61 are controlled to be opened as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the operation state of this embodiment, by operating the cross-flow fan 11, indoor air is taken in from the upper suction portion 20 and the front suction portion 40 that is largely open, and hot or cold air is passed through the heat exchanger 12. Alternatively, dehumidification is performed, and the heat-exchanged room air can be blown out according to the wind direction plate 61 opened at a predetermined angle corresponding to the operation mode.

  And one of the big features of the air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment is that the front suction section 40 provided with the movable panel 41 in the state where the front wind direction plate 62 provided in the blowing section 60 is closed, The front wind direction plate 62 is accommodated in front of the housing surface 16 so as to conceal the housing surface 16 formed between the blowing portion 60 provided with the front wind direction plate 62.

  That is, although the wind direction plate 61 provided in the conventional blowing part 60 is provided with the front wind direction plate 62 and the rear wind direction plate 63, this pair of wind direction plates 61 are the structure which covers the blowing part 60 in the closed state. It is said. In addition, the airflow direction plate 61 in the closed state is generally flush with the casing surface around the blowing portion 60 so as not to be uneven. Further, in another conventional example, when the blowing portion 60 is extended to the lower end portion of the front suction portion 40, a human body sensor is provided on the inner wall surface of the concave blowing portion 60, and when the wind direction plate 61 is closed, A structure in which an inner wall surface provided with a human body sensor is covered with a wind direction plate 61 is known. However, the inner wall surface provided with the human body sensor is formed continuously with the opened concave blowout portion 60, and is within the scope of the conventional technical idea. In addition, the wind direction plate 61 that conceals the inner wall surface provided with the human body sensor in a closed state adopts a conventional general structure that is flush with the casing surface around the blowout portion 60 so as to be continuous. Yes.

  On the other hand, when the wind direction plate 61 is increased in the depth direction, the air flow blown from the blowing portion 60 can be blown far away. However, when the wind direction plate 61 is increased, a problem remains in the storage place when the operation is stopped. On the other hand, the wind direction plate 61 having the lower end portion as the panel rotation shaft 42 causes a gap in the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 due to the swinging of the wind direction plate 61 due to its structure, so that a design problem remains. . In other words, the gap in the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 causes a gap in the other when one of the closed state and the open state is eliminated.

  Therefore, the present invention relates to the front surface of the housing surface 16 formed between the front suction portion 40 provided with the movable panel 41 and the blowing portion 60 provided with the front wind direction plate 62. It was conceived to be a storage space for the front wind direction plate 62 having a size covering the front.

  Since the housing surface 16 is located at the front portion of the front drain pan 14, it is a space unsuitable for use as a suction portion, and a large front wind direction plate is provided at the front portion of the housing surface 16 which is a functional dead space. 62 can be stored. Furthermore, if a large front wind direction plate 62 covering this space is stored so as to overlap, even if there is a gap Q in the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 adjacent to the housing surface 16, the presence of the front wind direction plate 62. It can be inconspicuous.

  In addition, another one of the major features of the air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment is a shape in which the movable panel 41 is opened and the space between the lower end of the movable panel 41 and the upper end of the housing surface 16 is continuous. In the state where the movable panel 41 is closed, the gap generated by the swing of the movable panel 41 is set.

  As described above, in this embodiment, by providing the first feature, the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 becomes inconspicuous when the movable panel 41 is closed, so that the inconspicuous movable panel 41 is closed, By generating a gap that is generated in association with the swing, it is possible to improve the alignment in the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 in a state in which the movable panel 41 where the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 is exposed is opened.

  Another major feature of the air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment is that a decorative member 66 is provided on the front wind direction plate 62.

  That is, in this embodiment, by providing the first feature, the front wind direction plate 62 is housed in the most conspicuous position of the housing 10 in the operation stop state. In a state where the conventional wind direction plate 61 is also closed, the structure is covered with the blowout portion 60, so that the surface finish and the modeling surface with high designability are devised. However, in this embodiment, since the front wind direction plate 62 is more conspicuous than the conventional wind direction plate 61, the decorative member 66 is provided on the surface of the front wind direction plate 62 constituting the front face in the closed state. I have to. In other words, in the stopped state, the wind direction plate 61 is constituted by the rear wind direction plate 63 having a surface assimilating to the housing and the front wind direction plate 62 having the decorative member 66 provided on the surface.

  Another major feature of the air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment is that the front wind direction plate 62 is a decorative member 66 formed of a transparent material.

  That is, when the wind direction plate 61 is increased in the depth direction, the air flow blown from the blowing portion 60 can be blown away. However, if the front wind direction plate 62 is enlarged, the amount of overhang from the housing 10 increases with the movement of the front wind direction plate 62, which causes a problem of giving the user a feeling of pressure.

  Therefore, in the air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment, the above-described problem can be reduced by forming the decorative member 66 constituting at least the front wind direction plate 62 with a transparent member such as a transparent resin material or transparent glass. .

  Another major feature of the air conditioner 1 according to this embodiment is that the front wind direction plate 62 fits within the projection member 66 formed of a transparent material and the projection area of the decoration member 66. It is in the point comprised including the frame | skeleton base part 68 provided with the magnitude | size.

  That is, when the front wind direction plate 62 is formed of a transparent member, there is a problem that the front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64 formed on the back side through the transparent member on the front surface, a reinforcing rib (not shown), and the like can be seen.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in this embodiment, a skeleton base 68 having a functional structure such as a front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64 and a reinforcing rib, and a transparent decorative member 66 attached to the skeleton base 68. The front wind direction plate 62 is configured to include the structure so that the front wind direction plate rotation shaft 64 and the reinforcing ribs are concealed by the skeleton base portion 68. In addition, by making the decorative member 66 larger than the skeleton base portion 68, the transparent decorative member 66 that protrudes around the skeleton base portion 68 is inconspicuous, so that the feeling of pressure can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, by printing on the back surface of the decorative member 66 that comes into contact with the skeleton base portion 68, the design can be improved and the contact portion can be concealed by printing. Moreover, since the double-sided tape can be attached to the contact portion, the decorative member 66 can be easily attached to the skeleton base portion 68.

  Hereinafter, a more detailed description will be given with reference to FIGS.

  First, the detailed structure of the indoor unit 1 will be further described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. The housing 10 of this embodiment includes a back cover 100 that constitutes the back side of the housing 10, a front cover 110 that is attached to the front portion of the back cover 100, and a suction cover 120 that constitutes the front suction portion 40. Consists of including. As shown in FIG. 2, the external shape of the housing 10 is a substantially horizontally-rectangular shape as viewed from the front view of (a), and (b) a substantially rectangular horizontally-oriented box shape as viewed from the side view of FIG. Based on the shape.

  The back cover 100 is attached with basic components such as a cross-flow fan 11 and a heat exchanger 12 arranged in the housing 10, and the front portion of the back cover 100 is covered with the front cover 110 to form the skeleton of the indoor unit 1. To do. As a result, the upper suction part 20 is formed on the upper surface of the front cover 110, and the blowing part 60 is formed on the lower part of the front cover 110.

  On the other hand, the suction cover 120 constitutes the front suction portion 40, and a suction frame 122 whose upper end is rotatably attached to the front cover 110 via a rotation shaft 121 shown in FIG. 1 (c). The movable frame 41 is rotatably attached to the lower end portion of the suction frame 122 via the panel rotation shaft 42. As shown in FIG. 2, since both sides and the upper portion of the suction frame 122 are formed with the inclined surfaces 124 inclined toward the front, the periphery of the movable panel 41 is shaped so as to protrude into a flange shape. 10 thinness is created.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (c), the suction cover 120 of this embodiment operates the lock switch 123 provided on the lower inclined surfaces 124 on both sides of the suction frame 122 so that the upper rotary shaft 121 is moved. It can be opened and closed by swinging its lower part at the center. By this opening / closing mechanism, a dust collection filter (not shown) that covers the front suction portion 40 and the upper suction portion 20 can be attached and detached. In addition, the lock switch 123 uses the concave inclination of the inclined surface 124 to ensure a stroke to be pressed without projecting significantly on both sides, so that it can be assimilated with the inclined surface 124 while reducing erroneous operations. The design is improved.

  Moreover, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the upper and lower portions of the front surface of the housing 10 are formed to be inclined rearward. This reduces the overall volume of the housing 10 and realizes a compact appearance. In particular, in this embodiment, since the upper end of the movable panel 41 is swung, as shown in FIG. 1, the feeling of pressure at the upper end of the movable panel 41 can be reduced with the movable panel 41 opened. it can.

  Now, in this embodiment, the structure and shape of the front wind direction plate 62 is a major feature. The appearance of the front wind direction plate 62 is shown in FIG. In FIG. 3, in this embodiment, the front wind direction plate 62 formed to be slightly curved is constituted by an opaque skeleton base portion 68 and a transparent decorative member 66. In the conventional structure, the front wind direction plate 62 is formed by integral molding of resin, but the front wind direction plate 62 of this embodiment has a structure in which the skeleton base portion 68 and the decorative member 66 are bonded together. As a result, even if flocking for preventing water droplets or the like or ribs of strength members are provided on the skeleton base portion 68, it is possible to reduce the influence on the transparent decorative member 66. By combining the skeleton base portion 68 and the decorative member 66, which is a separate member, a difference in material feeling can be expressed, and in addition, a modeling process that enhances design properties such as back surface printing and back surface unevenness pattern is possible.

  Further, in this embodiment, the periphery of the transparent decorative member 66 is projected from the periphery of the skeleton base portion 68 in a brim shape, thereby securing the area of the wind direction function and making the size inconspicuous, during operation. The feeling of pressure is reduced.

  Returning to FIG. 1, as described above, in this embodiment, the pair of wind direction plates 61 including the front wind direction plate 62 and the rear wind direction plate 63 are provided in the blowing portion 60. The front wind direction plate 62 is rotatably provided around a front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64 disposed in front of the blowing portion 60, and the rear wind direction plate 63 is disposed at the rear of the blowing portion 60. The rotary shaft 65 is provided so as to be rotatable. The depth dimension d1 of the front wind direction plate 62 is smaller than the depth dimension d2 of the rear wind direction plate 63. The depth dimension d2 of the rear wind direction plate 63 is large enough to cover the front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64 (the rear end portion of the front wind direction plate 62) with the rear wind direction plate 63 closed. The depth dimension d <b> 1 has a size that covers the housing surface 16 formed between the front suction part 40 and the blowing part 60 in a state where the front wind direction plate 62 is closed.

  Further, the lateral width w 1 of the front wind direction plate 62 is set to be larger than the lateral width w 2 of the rear wind direction plate 63. The rear wind direction plate 63 of this embodiment has a function of guiding the air flow blown out from the blowout portion 60 and a function of concealing the blowout portion 60 when closed. For this reason, the width w1 of the rear wind direction plate 63 is set to a size that can cover the front part of the blowing part 60.

  On the other hand, the front wind direction plate 62 of this embodiment has a function of guiding the air flow blown out from the blowing portion 60 and a function of a decorative member that makes the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 of the movable panel 41 inconspicuous. As shown in FIG. 2, the movable panel 41 of this embodiment has a structure that covers the entire front upper part so that the front is divided into upper and lower parts. Occurs until full.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the width w1 of the front wind direction plate 62 is set to a size that covers the housing surface 16 formed adjacent to the lower portion of the movable panel 41, that is, approximately the same as the width of the housing 10. is doing.

  Here, in this embodiment, a signal transmission / reception unit that transmits / receives an operation signal to / from a remote controller (not shown) is provided on one side of the housing surface 110. For this reason, an opening 67 (or a transparent window) is provided on one side of the front wind direction plate 62 to expose the signal transmission / reception window 17 when it is closed.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the operation | movement method of the air conditioner which concerns on this Example is demonstrated. As described above, in the air conditioner according to this embodiment, various devices are collectively controlled by a control unit (not shown) provided in the housing 10.

  First, in the operation stop state, the control unit operates the panel drive mechanism 43 and the wind direction plate drive mechanism (not shown) to close the movable panel 41 and the wind direction plate 61 as shown in FIG. State.

  That is, the movable panel 41 is folded and housed in the front portion of the housing 10 so as to seal the front suction portion 40 around the panel rotation shaft 42. At this time, a gap Q <b> 1 is generated between the lower end portion of the movable panel 41 and the upper end portion of the housing surface 16 so as to be generated as the movable panel 41 swings.

  On the other hand, the front wind direction plate 62 is folded and stored in the front portion of the housing surface 16 so as to conceal the housing surface 16 around the front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64. Here, since the indoor unit 1 is installed above the wall surface, the user's line of sight looks up at the indoor unit 1 as indicated by an arrow in FIG. Accordingly, the gap Q1 generated in the vicinity of the panel rotation shaft 42 is a position behind the wind direction plate 61 housed in front of the housing surface 16, and thus is difficult to visually recognize due to the presence of the wind direction plate 61.

  In particular, in this embodiment, since the transparent decorative member 66 protrudes around the front wind direction plate 62, the gap Q1 can be seen by the user through the transparent decorative member 66, so the presence of the gap Q1 becomes inconspicuous. . Rather, due to the design effect of the decorative member 66, the surrounding form becomes inconspicuous due to the presence of the decorative member 66.

  On the other hand, when the control unit receives an operation stop time from a remote controller (not shown), the control unit operates the panel drive mechanism unit 43 and the wind direction plate drive mechanism unit (not shown) to move as shown in FIG. The panel 41 and the wind direction plate 61 are opened.

  That is, the movable panel 41 opens its upper part forward so as to open the front suction part 40 around the panel rotation shaft 42. At this time, the operation is performed so as to close the gap Q1 generated between the lower end portion of the movable panel 41 and the upper end portion of the housing surface 16. In this embodiment, the surface of the movable panel 41 when opened is set so as to form a plane that is continuous with the surface of the housing surface 16.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4B, the front wind direction plate 62 is opened to the angle corresponding to the preset operation mode by opening the other end around the front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64. To do.

  Thus, in the operation state of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the housing surface 16 that is largely exposed with the opening operation of the front wind direction plate 62 accompanying the operation is opened forward. Since it can be set as planar modeling continuous with the surface of the movable panel 41, it can be adapted to an indoor space mainly composed of wall surfaces. Moreover, this continuous flat surface reduces the feeling of pressure by making the upper end of the movable panel 41 an inclined surface. Furthermore, the front wind direction plate 62 has good wind direction control forward and wind direction control on both sides due to its large depth dimension d1.

  Furthermore, the air conditioner according to this embodiment includes an indoor unit in which a suction part provided with a movable panel and a blow-out part provided with a wind direction plate are arranged above and below across a housing surface, The movable panel is swingably attached to the lower end portion of the suction portion via a panel opening / closing mechanism portion, and the wind direction plate is attached to the wind direction plate driving mechanism portion via the wind direction plate driving mechanism portion. Mounted so as to be swingable around a wind direction plate rotating shaft provided below the panel rotating shaft, the panel opening / closing mechanism section operates the movable panel to open the suction section and stops operation in the operating state. In the state, the suction portion is operated to conceal, and the lower end portion of the movable panel and the upper end portion of the housing surface are formed so as to conceal the gap generated by the swinging in the operation state, and the wind direction The plate drive mechanism is In operating the louvers to open the outlet portion, and, in a shutdown state to conceal the casing surface and the outlet portion, to position the wind direction plate in front of the housing surface.

  In this case, the wind direction plate may be provided with a transparent decorative member on the front surface when the operation is stopped. Moreover, it is preferable that the wind direction plate has a width that matches the width of the housing.

According to this embodiment, the gap in the vicinity of the panel rotation axis generated by the swinging of the movable panel is closed in the operation state where the housing surface is exposed to improve the design characteristics during operation, while the movable panel is Since the gap in the vicinity of the rotation axis of the panel caused by the closing can be concealed by the wind direction plate, the unevenness generated in the vicinity of the rotation axis when the movable panel is opened and closed can be made inconspicuous.

FIG. 8 is an external view of an indoor unit of an air conditioner according to a second embodiment of the present invention, where (a) is a front view with the wind direction plate closed, and (b) is an open view of the wind direction plate. It is a front view of a state. Note that the same parts and arrows as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  First, the schematic structure of the front wind direction plate according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 5, a front wind direction plate 62a according to this embodiment includes a decorative member 66a formed of a transparent material and a skeleton base portion 68a having a size that fits within the projected area of the decorative member 66a. It consists of.

  One of the major features of this embodiment is that a decorative member 66a is formed so as to protrude greatly on the front end side of the front wind direction plate 62a.

  That is, the skeleton base portion 68a of this embodiment forms an arm portion 70 that extends while inclining toward one end in the depth direction on both sides and the center of a thin plate-like base body 69 having a depth dimension d3. The front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64 is formed at the end of the arm portion 70. In addition, an auxiliary louver 79 arranged side by side with the base body 69 is provided between the arm portions 70. In addition, the both ends of the base main body 69 are formed with overhang portions 71 that protrude to the other end side by the overhang dimension d4.

  On the other hand, the decoration member 66a is a transparent thin member having a depth dimension d1. The decoration member 66a is formed so that the end portion on the arm portion 70 side is substantially aligned and projects from the end portion of the skeleton base portion 68a to the other end portion by a depth dimension d5. And the decoration member 66a has performed back surface printing in the range of the back surface that contacts the skeleton base portion 68a (the contact surface 72 represented by a wave pattern in FIG. A).

  In other words, the decorative member 66a of this embodiment is divided into two in the depth direction on the back surface side, and the back surface is printed on the arm portion 70 side that is the rotation shaft side, and the front end with respect to the front wind direction plate rotation shaft 64 The other end side that is the side is formed to be transparent. As a result, the skeleton base portion 68a which is unnecessary in terms of design can be made invisible, while the front end portion of the front wind direction plate 62a can be made transparent. The accompanying feeling of pressure can be reduced. For example, the opaque processing portion of the transparent member can cover the shaft portion and the like supporting the wind direction plate so as not to be seen, and the additional function portions such as a human detection sensor and a microphone can be hidden.

  In this embodiment, the back surface is printed in the range of the back surface in contact with the skeleton base portion 68a (the contact surface 72 represented by a wave pattern in FIG. A), but in the portion between the pair of overhanging portions 71. Can also be printed on the back side. Thereby, a transparent part can be made into the strip | belt shape of the same width, and designability can be improved.

  Next, the assembly structure of the front wind direction plate 62a according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 6, in this embodiment, one end side in the depth direction of the decorative member 66a is formed at an acute angle, and this acute angle portion 73 is inserted into a fitting groove 74 formed at one end side of the skeleton base portion 68a. The decorative member 66a and the skeleton base portion 68a are bonded via the double-sided tape 75. The contact surface 72 of the skeleton base portion 68a is provided with a recess (not shown) that absorbs the thickness of the double-sided tape 75, so that the decoration member 66a and the skeleton base portion 68a can be bonded without a gap. According to this structure, both members can be attached while the presence of the skeleton base portion 68a is hidden by the decorative member 66a. In particular, when the decorative member 66a is formed of a resin material, if an attachment portion or the like is formed on the back surface of the decorative member 66a, sink marks, welds, etc. are generated and the design properties are hindered, and the back surface printing is difficult. In addition, when an attachment portion or the like is formed on the skeleton base portion 68a, the take-out portion protrudes around the decorative member 66a and becomes a factor that hinders the design.

  The structure of this embodiment can solve the above problems. In addition, according to this mounting structure, the decoration member 66a can be made simple, so that even a glass material can be used. In this embodiment, both members can be firmly fixed by adhesion of the double-sided tape 75. However, for further safety, a fixing pin 76 that penetrates the decorative member 66 a is attached to the overhanging portion 71. In addition, in this embodiment, the decorative member 66a is formed of a transparent or resin material in order to reduce the weight, but by providing the fixing pin 76, the decorative member 66a is formed of a glass material. It can be shown as a design. Thereby, it can be set as the design in harmony with the indoor environment formed with a wall surface or glass material.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the characteristic structure of the air conditioner 1a provided with the front wind direction plate 62a according to this embodiment will be described.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 7, in this embodiment, the front wind direction is adjacent to the lower end portion of the movable panel 41 covering the front portion of the front suction portion 40 in the operation stop state, as in the first embodiment. The plate 62a can be stored. Therefore, in the stored state of the front wind direction plate 62a, the front end portion of the front wind direction plate 62a is formed to be transparent. Therefore, the casing surface 16 constituting the lower end of the gap Q1 is used via the transparent portion. Can be visually recognized. In this embodiment, the driving state display unit 77 can be provided on the housing surface 16 that can be visually recognized by the user in both the driving state and the driving stop state. According to this structure, since the operation state display unit 77 is covered with the transparent member even when the operation is stopped, necessary information such as timer reservation can be confirmed and a simple design can be achieved.

  This feature point will be further described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 8 (a), in this embodiment, a strip-shaped device arrangement surface 78 is formed on the housing surface 16 visible through the decorative member 66a at the front end portion of the front wind direction plate 62a when the operation is stopped. be able to. Therefore, according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, it is possible to provide a display and various sensors on the device arrangement surface 78 that can be seen without depending on the operation of the front wind direction plate 62a. In this embodiment, the operation state display unit 77 is arranged on the device arrangement surface 78 along the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, the human body sensor 80, the microphone 81, and the radiation sensor 82 that are operated during driving are disposed on the housing surface 16 that is concealed by the front wind direction plate 62a.

  Further, in this embodiment, the gap Q1 can be visually recognized through the decorative member 66a, but the gap Q1 acts inconspicuously due to the same effect as the first embodiment.

As described above, in the second embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the front wind direction plate 62a is formed of a transparent resin material, or the rotating front end portion of the front wind direction plate is formed of a transparent resin material. Alternatively, the front wind direction plate includes a transparent panel portion and a base portion having a rotation support portion having a size that fits within a projected area of the transparent panel portion. Therefore, according to this embodiment, since the front wind direction plate is configured to include the transparent portion, it is possible to reduce the feeling of pressure accompanying the operation of the front wind direction plate.

FIG. 14A is a right side view when the operation is stopped, and FIG. 14B is a right side view when the operation is performed. It is. Note that the same parts and arrows as those in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

  First, one of the great features of this embodiment is that a front wind direction plate 62b having the same structure as the front wind direction plate 62a of the second embodiment is provided without using the double-sided tape 75.

  In other words, the front wind direction plate 62b according to this embodiment exposes the belt-like projecting portion 83 constituting a part of the skeleton base portion 68b at the rear end portion on the rotating shaft side of the decorative member 66b. The rear end portion of the decorative member 66b is fitted and attached to the fitting groove 74 formed by the protruding portion 83, and both sides of the front end portion of the decorative member 66b on the other end side are fixed to the skeleton base portion 68b with fixing pins 76. By doing so, the decorative member 66b is attached to the skeleton base portion 68b without distortion without using the double-sided tape 75, and the front wind direction plate 62b having good design and structure is provided.

  In this embodiment, in order to realize the characteristic structure, the skeleton base portion 68b provided with the arm portion 70, and the skeleton base portion 68b is attached so as to largely protrude from the distal end side (side facing the arm portion 70). And a decorative member 66b formed of a transparent material.

  The skeleton base portion 68b of this embodiment forms an arm portion 70 that extends while inclining toward one end in the depth direction on both sides and the center of the back side of the thin plate-like base body 69 having a depth dimension d3. The front wind direction plate rotation shaft 64 is formed at the end of the arm portion 70. In addition, a narrow belt-like projecting portion 83 having a depth dimension d7 is formed on the side portion serving as an end portion on the arm portion 70 side on the front surface of the base main body 69 so as to project forward, and is fitted inside thereof. A groove 74 is formed. An overhang portion 71 is formed on both sides of the end of the base main body 69 facing the arm portion 70 on the front side.

  On the other hand, the decorative member 66b is formed of a transparent thin member having substantially the same depth dimension as the depth dimension d1 of the front wind direction plate 62b. The decoration member 66b is formed by attaching one end in the depth direction to the fitting groove 74 formed by the projecting portion 83 and projecting from the end portion of the skeleton base portion 68b to the other end portion by a depth dimension d5. The Then, the decorative member 66b leaves the belt-like transparent region 84 at the tip, and performs back surface printing on the portion including the back surface area in contact with the other skeleton base portion 68b (portion represented by the wavy pattern in FIG. 6A). ing. In addition, the front wind direction plate 62b of this embodiment is formed so that the surface exposed in the operation stop state is flush with the opaque projecting portion 83 and the decorative member 66b.

  Thus, in the front wind direction plate 62b of this embodiment, the surface exposed in the operation stop state is divided into three parts in the front and rear, and the transparent part on which the back side printing is performed is arranged at the center, and this is arranged at the tip part. The structure is sandwiched between a band-shaped transparent region 84 and an opaque overhang 83. Accordingly, the skeleton base portion 68a which is not necessary for design can be concealed, while the front end portion of the front wind direction plate 62a can be made transparent, so that the design performance is improved and the operation of the front wind direction plate 62a is accompanied. The feeling of pressure can be concealed.

  Next, an assembly structure of the front wind direction plate 62b according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 10, in this embodiment, a fitting portion 85 having a small thickness is formed on one end side in the depth direction of the decorative member 66b, and this fitting portion 85 is formed on one end side of the skeleton base portion 68b. A structure is adopted in which the fitting groove 74 is inserted and fixed, and both ends on the other end side are attached to the overhanging portion 71 via fixing pins 76.

  In the second embodiment, the main joining of the skeleton base portion 68 a and the decorative member 66 a is performed by fitting the fitting groove 74 and the acute angle portion 73 and bonding the double-sided tape 75. However, since this structure requires a wide adhesive surface by the double-sided tape 75, a wide contact surface 72 of both members is required, and there is a problem that the skeleton base portion 68 becomes large.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, by forming the fitting groove 74 into which the fitting portion 85 is fitted deeply, the joint between the fitting portion 85 and the fitting groove 74 can be held more reliably, and the fitting portion A structure is adopted in which both sides on the end side facing 85 are fixed by fixing pins 76. According to this structure, the main member is joined by the fitting portion 85 and the fitting groove 74, and both ends of the front wind direction plate 62b are fastened by the fixing pins 76. Therefore, the depth dimension d3 of the base body 69 is Can be small. As a result, the size of the skeleton base portion 68b can be reduced, and the decorative member 66b projecting from the tip of the skeleton base portion 68b can be enlarged. Designability can be improved by diversifying the range.

  Further, in this embodiment, a three-point support structure is employed in which the overhang 83 is formed from the center leaving the empty area 86 on both sides, and the fixing pin 76 is provided within the range of the empty area 86. . Thereby, since the both ends of the overhang | projection part 83 are hidden by the decoration member 66b, the designability can be improved. Therefore, according to this three-point support structure, the thin portion (depth dimension d3) which is the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the front wind direction plate 62b is held with the distortion reduced by fitting the two members, and further in the longitudinal direction. By holding the position where the depth dimension can be taken at both ends (the overhanging portion 71) with the fixing pin 76, warpage and twisting in the longitudinal direction can be reduced, and the joining of the two members can be made more reliable. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, the overhang exposed in the decorative member 66b is obtained by adjusting the lateral width of the overhang portion 83 to the lateral width of the blowing portion 60 (rear wind direction plate 63) as shown in FIG. 13 (a). It can be expressed that the presence of the portion 83 is made uncomfortable.

  Returning to FIG. 10, in addition, in this embodiment, the decorative member 66b is stretched at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the skeleton base portion 68. Therefore, the concealability of the skeleton base portion 68 is further improved and the design is improved. can do. As described above, the front wind direction plate 62b of this embodiment is formed with a thin strip-like opaque protruding portion 83 on the front wind direction plate rotating shaft 64 side, but most of the other front wind direction plates 62b are transparent. Since it is formed of a member, the same effects as those of the second embodiment can be obtained.

  In this embodiment, in order to further improve the assemblability of the front wind direction plate 62b having a double structure, further improvements are made. This point will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 11, since the front wind direction plate 62b according to this embodiment employs a structure in which two members that are long in the width direction are combined, there is a problem in alignment during assembly. In particular, in this embodiment, since both ends in the longitudinal direction are fixed by the fixing pins 76, the fixing pins 76 cannot be attached unless alignment is successful.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5A, a plurality of notches 88 are formed in the insertion region 87 of the decorative member 66b that is hidden by being inserted into the fitting groove 74, and the fitting groove 74 is formed. (B) As shown in the figure, a plurality of ribs 89 fitted to the notches 88 are formed, and the notches 88 are inserted into the ribs 89 to perform longitudinal alignment. it can. Moreover, since the notch 88 has a shape in which the open part is fan-shaped, it can be easily inserted even if the notch 88 is joined to the rib 89.

  In this embodiment, the fitting groove 74 is partitioned by a plurality of ribs 89, thereby reducing the opening of the deep fitting groove 74 that receives the decorative member 66b and maintaining the fitting strength of the two members. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, in this embodiment, a fitting claw 90 is formed at a predetermined position in the longitudinal direction of the distal end portion of the insertion region 87, and the fitting claw 90 is formed in the fitting groove 74. By adopting a fitting hole 91 that fits, the structure in which the decorative member 66b is not easily detached from the skeleton base portion 68b is adopted. In particular, in this embodiment, by forming the fitting hole 91 between the two ribs 89, even the insertion region 87 provided with the fitting claw 90 can be easily inserted using the elasticity of the resin. In addition, the resin is less likely to come off due to the elasticity of the resin.

  Next, a characteristic structure of the air conditioner 1b including the front wind direction plate 62b according to this embodiment will be further described with reference to FIGS.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 12, in this embodiment, in the stopped state, as in the first and second embodiments, the front of the movable panel 41 covering the front of the front suction portion 40 is adjacent to the front. The partial wind direction plate 62b can be accommodated. Therefore, in the stored state of the front wind direction plate 62b, the front end portion of the front wind direction plate 62b is formed to be transparent. Therefore, the casing surface 16 constituting the lower end of the gap Q1 is formed through the transparent region 84. It can be visually recognized by the user. In this embodiment, the driving state display unit 76 can be provided on the housing surface 16 that can be visually recognized by the user both in the driving state and in the stopped state.

  This feature point will be further described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 13 (a), in this embodiment, in the same manner as in the second embodiment, in the operation stop state, a band-like shape is formed on the housing surface 16 visible through the decorative member 66b at the front end portion of the front wind direction plate 62b. The device arrangement surface 77 can be formed. Therefore, also in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5B, it is possible to provide a display and various sensors on the device arrangement surface 77 that can be seen without depending on the operation of the front wind direction plate 62b. The arrangement of the device arrangement surface 77 is omitted as in the second embodiment.

  In FIG. 14, in this embodiment, the gap Q1 can be visually recognized through the decorative member 66b, but the gap Q1 can act inconspicuously due to the same effect as the second embodiment. In particular, in this embodiment, in order to make the opening operation of the movable panel 41 easier, in the operation stop state shown in FIG. (A), the gap Q1 is formed large, and in the operation state shown in FIG. A structure in which the lower end portion of the movable panel 41 enters the large gap Q1 is adopted. Further, the opening angle of the movable panel 41 is an angle inclined forward from the inclination angle of the housing surface 16.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the same operation effect as the first embodiment can be obtained in the operation stop state shown in (a), but in the operation state shown in (b), the housing surface 16 and the movable panel 41 A step will be born between the two. However, in this driving state, the gap Q1 is recognized as one dividing line that divides the housing surface 16 and the movable panel 41 from the viewpoint of the user indicated by the arrow, so that the design is not impaired.

  In this embodiment, a chamfered portion 92 is formed at the tip of the transparent decorative member 66b. As a result, due to the prism effect of the chamfered portion 92, the gap Q1 due to the rotation of the movable panel 41 can be blinded, and the number of ridge lines around the gap Q1 is reduced while looking up at a line of sight of about 30 degrees from the lower side. be able to. Further, the chamfered portion 92 may be formed with a shape other than a straight line at the tip of the transparent decorative member 66b. For example, by reducing the R shape as it approaches the tip, it is possible to make the ridge line around the gap Q1 inconspicuous while reducing the change in the appearance of the transparent material.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the fitting groove 74 for fixing the transparent decoration member 66b is provided in the entire width portion or the central portion of the skeleton base portion 68b, and the decoration member 66b is disposed within the range of the fitting groove 74. A fixing claw structure can be employed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a method of positioning the skeleton base portion 68b and the decorative member 66b on the left and right sides, the rib 89 from the skeleton base portion 68b side and the decorative member 66b side are hidden in the portion (insertion region 87) hidden by the skeleton base portion 68b. A method of positioning the decorative member 66b on the left and right of the skeleton base portion 68b by providing the notch 88 can be employed. Further, by providing the rib 89 in a part of the fitting groove 74 of the skeleton base portion 68b, the fitting groove 74 that receives the decorative member 66b can be prevented from opening. Further, a hole having a common shape can be passed through the surface where the skeleton base portion 68b and the decorative member 66b overlap, and positioning and fixing can be performed with a fixing component such as a fixing pin 76 in the through portion.

  Then, by adopting the above structure, the decoration member 66b having a fixed portion on the left and right with a fixing pin 76 or the like is applied to the skeleton base portion 68b having the main body mounting structure on the back surface without the uneven shape. It can be attached, and the design can be improved by a fixing method that does not cause a factor that impairs the appearance.

  In particular, when the transparent material is subjected to a treatment such as painting or printing, if there is a step on this treated surface, there is a problem that the painting or printing does not flow cleanly and is visible from the surface of the decorative member 66b. Since the decorative member 66b of this embodiment does not have an uneven shape on the back surface other than the range (insertion region 87) attached to the skeleton base portion 68b, the above problem is solved.

  In this embodiment, the shape of the decorative member 66b is avoided such that the thickness of the decorative member 66b changes abruptly. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the image of the resin molded product and obtain a material feeling like glass.

  In the third embodiment, the structure in which the double-sided tape 75 is not used has been described. Of course, the double-sided tape 75 can be used in combination with the double-sided tape 75 as in the second embodiment. .
