Description

本発明は、空気調和機に関する。 The present invention relates to an air conditioner.

近年、空気清浄機能を搭載した空気調和機（エアコン）が開発されている。また、空気調和機は、省エネ化の観点から大型化する傾向にあり、空気調和機からの風を案内する導風板も大型化している。導風板を大型化することで、より広範囲に風を送ることができ、空調範囲や空気清浄範囲を広くすることができる。このような大型の導風板は、空気調和機の前面に配置される場合が多く、空気調和機の外観の大部分を占めることになる（例えば、特許文献１）。 In recent years, an air conditioner (air conditioner) equipped with an air purifying function has been developed. In addition, air conditioners tend to be larger from the viewpoint of energy saving, and the baffle plate that guides the wind from the air conditioner is also becoming larger. By increasing the size of the baffle plate, it is possible to send wind over a wider range, and it is possible to widen the air conditioning range and air cleaning range. Such a large baffle plate is often arranged in front of the air conditioner and occupies most of the appearance of the air conditioner (for example, Patent Document 1).

なお、空気調和機には、室外機が分離された分離型と、室外機が一体化された一体型とがあるが、本明細書においては空気調和機とは、分離型の場合は室内機を指す。 The air conditioner includes a separate type in which the outdoor unit is separated and an integrated type in which the outdoor unit is integrated. In the present specification, the air conditioner is an indoor unit in the case of the separate type. Point to.

特開２０１９−４５０２３号公報JP-A-2019-45023

従来、空気調和機において導風板は、空気調和機の停止時に閉じられ、空気調和機の運転時に開かれる。導風板が閉じている停止時の空気調和機は、落ち着いた風貌を呈するが、導風板が開いた運転時の空気調和機は、厳つい風貌を呈し、ユーザが圧迫感を感じる場合がある。空気調和機は、省エネ化の観点から今後も大型化すると考えられるため、運転時におけるユーザが感じる圧迫感を低減することが望まれている。 Conventionally, in an air conditioner, the baffle plate is closed when the air conditioner is stopped and opened when the air conditioner is operated. The air conditioner when the air conditioner is closed and the air conditioner has a calm appearance, but the air conditioner when the air conditioner is open and the air conditioner is in operation may have a severe appearance and the user may feel oppressive. .. Since air conditioners are expected to continue to grow in size from the viewpoint of energy saving, it is desired to reduce the feeling of oppression felt by the user during operation.

本発明の一態様は、運転時にユーザに与える圧迫感を低減し得る空気調和機を提供することを目的としている。 One aspect of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner capable of reducing a feeling of oppression given to a user during operation.

And a baffle plate driving mechanism for driving the baffle plate, and in a state where the baffle plate is in a closed position covering the air outlet, between the baffle plate and the air outlet. It is characterized by having a closed position mode in which a gap of a predetermined distance or more exists and the wind blown from the air outlet is sent out from the gap to the outside of the machine.

本発明の一態様によれば、閉位置モードを有することで、運転時にユーザに与える圧迫感を低減し得る空気調和機を提供することができるといった効果を奏する。 According to one aspect of the present invention, by having the closed position mode, it is possible to provide an air conditioner capable of reducing the feeling of oppression given to the user during operation.

図１から図６に示すように、空気調和機１は、本体部２と、本体部２の前面部に配置される導風板３とを備えている。本体部２の内部には、送風ファン１３、熱交換器１４等が配されている。なお、本体部２を前面（正面）から見て幅方向を左右方向とし、本体部２の奥行き方向を前後方向とし、本体部２の高さ方向を上下方向とする。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the air conditioner 1 includes a main body portion 2 and a baffle plate 3 arranged on the front surface portion of the main body portion 2. A blower fan 13, a heat exchanger 14, and the like are arranged inside the main body 2. When the main body 2 is viewed from the front (front), the width direction is the left-right direction, the depth direction of the main body 2 is the front-rear direction, and the height direction of the main body 2 is the vertical direction.

本体部２の上面部には上吸込口８が形成され、本体部２の下面部には下吸込口９が形成されている。このうち、上吸込口８には上吸込口８を開閉する蓋部１２が設けられ、該蓋部１２は、蓋部１２を開閉駆動する蓋駆動モータ３３（図８参照）にて開閉される。 An upper suction port 8 is formed on the upper surface portion of the main body portion 2, and a lower suction port 9 is formed on the lower surface portion of the main body portion 2. Of these, the upper suction port 8 is provided with a lid portion 12 for opening and closing the upper suction port 8, and the lid portion 12 is opened and closed by a lid drive motor 33 (see FIG. 8) for opening and closing the lid portion 12. ..

本体部２の前面部には吹出口７が形成されている。本実施の形態では、本体部２の前面部は、上方から下方に向かって後面側に傾斜しており、この傾斜面に前面パネル４が配されている。吹出口７は、前面パネル４に形成されており、図５に示すように、前面パネル４においては、左右および上下に大きく吹出口７が開口されている。 An outlet 7 is formed on the front surface of the main body 2. In the present embodiment, the front surface portion of the main body portion 2 is inclined toward the rear surface side from the upper side to the lower side, and the front panel 4 is arranged on the inclined surface. The air outlet 7 is formed on the front panel 4, and as shown in FIG. 5, the air outlet 7 is largely opened on the left, right, top and bottom of the front panel 4.

本体部２の内部には、上吸込口８から吹出口７に至る上空気通路と、下吸込口から吹出口７に至る下空気通路とが形成されている。送風ファン１３および熱交換器１４は、これら上下の空気通路が共通する部分に配置されている。これら上下の空気通路が共通する部分には、後述するイオン発生器３８（図８参照）も配置されている。 Inside the main body 2, an upper air passage from the upper suction port 8 to the air outlet 7 and a lower air passage from the lower suction port to the air outlet 7 are formed. The blower fan 13 and the heat exchanger 14 are arranged in a common portion of the upper and lower air passages. An ion generator 38 (see FIG. 8), which will be described later, is also arranged in a portion where the upper and lower air passages are common.

この隙間１０は、後述する閉位置モードにおいて、吹出口７から吹き出された空気を機外へ送出するために設けられており、空気調和機１は、吹出口７から吹き出した風を隙間１０から機外へ送出する閉位置モードを有している。隙間１０は、導風板３が閉位置にある状態での空気調和機１の運転を可能にするために設けられている。 The gap 10 is provided to send the air blown out from the air outlet 7 to the outside of the machine in the closed position mode described later, and the air conditioner 1 blows the air blown from the air outlet 7 from the gap 10. It has a closed position mode that sends it out of the machine. The gap 10 is provided to enable the operation of the air conditioner 1 in a state where the baffle plate 3 is in the closed position.

隙間１０の寸法となる上記所定の距離Ｘは、１０ｍｍ以上とすることが好ましい。これは、上記所定の距離Ｘが１０ｍｍ未満となると、隙間１０の寸法が不十分となるためである。隙間１０の寸法が不十分となると、吹出口７から吹き出される風が機外へ送出され難くなり、送風ファン１３にかかる負荷が大きくなる。本実施の形態では、上記所定の距離Ｘは１５ｍｍ〜２０ｍｍに設定されている。 The predetermined distance X, which is the dimension of the gap 10, is preferably 10 mm or more. This is because if the predetermined distance X is less than 10 mm, the size of the gap 10 becomes insufficient. If the size of the gap 10 is insufficient, it becomes difficult for the wind blown from the air outlet 7 to be sent out of the machine, and the load applied to the air blower fan 13 becomes large. In the present embodiment, the predetermined distance X is set to 15 mm to 20 mm.

また、本実施の形態では、導風板３は、吹出口７よりも大きく、閉位置で前面パネル４の全体を覆う大きさに形成されている。そして、導風板３は、閉位置で前面パネル４に重畳して配され、隙間１０が導風板３と前面パネル４の間に形成されている。 Further, in the present embodiment, the baffle plate 3 is larger than the air outlet 7 and is formed to have a size that covers the entire front panel 4 at the closed position. The baffle plate 3 is arranged so as to overlap the front panel 4 in the closed position, and a gap 10 is formed between the baffle plate 3 and the front panel 4.

このような構成とすることで、吹出口７から吹き出された風は導風板３に沿って案内され、導風板３の端部から空気調和機１の外部（機外）へと送出される。これにより、吹出口７と同程度の大きさで、吹出口７に嵌り込むようにして吹出口７を塞ぐ小型の導風板に比べて、隙間１０から送出する風を効果的に空気調和機１の周囲に広めることができる。 With such a configuration, the wind blown from the air outlet 7 is guided along the baffle plate 3 and sent out from the end of the baffle plate 3 to the outside (outside the machine) of the air conditioner 1. To. As a result, the air conditioner 1 effectively sends out the air from the gap 10 as compared with a small air guide plate which is about the same size as the air outlet 7 and closes the air outlet 7 by fitting into the air outlet 7. It can be spread around.

さらに、本実施の形態では、より好ましい構成として、導風板３は、本体部２の内側に向かって凹をなすＲ形状を有している。これにより、隙間１０から送出される風は、導風板３のＲ形状に沿って送出され、イオンを含むイオン風やＨＥＰＡフィルタで浄化された空気を、より遠くへ送ることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, as a more preferable configuration, the baffle plate 3 has an R shape that is concave toward the inside of the main body 2. As a result, the wind sent from the gap 10 is sent out along the R shape of the baffle plate 3, and the ion wind containing ions and the air purified by the HEPA filter can be sent farther.

また、本実施の形態においては、前面パネル４にも閉位置に位置する導風板３に沿う形状が付与されているので、隙間１０から送出される風をより効果的に導風板３のＲ形状に沿わせて、より遠くへ送ることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, since the front panel 4 is also provided with a shape along the baffle plate 3 located at the closed position, the wind sent from the gap 10 is more effectively fed by the baffle plate 3. It can be sent farther along the R shape.

（閉位置モード）
図７の（ａ）（ｂ）は、空気調和機１の閉位置モード時の風の吹き出しを説明する図であり、（ａ）は正面より見た図、（ｂ）は側面より見た図である。図７の（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、吹出口７から吹き出された風は、導風板３の裏面に当たることで隙間１０を専ら上下方向に進み、導風板３の上端部および下端部から機外へ送出される。吹出口７の左右方向には、前面パネル４が存在しているため、左右の側端部から機外へ送出される風は少なくなる。 (Closed position mode)
7 (a) and 7 (b) are views for explaining wind blowing in the closed position mode of the air conditioner 1, (a) is a front view, and (b) is a side view. Is. As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, the wind blown from the air outlet 7 hits the back surface of the air guide plate 3 and travels exclusively in the vertical direction through the gap 10, and the upper end of the air guide plate 3 and It is sent out of the machine from the lower end. Since the front panels 4 are present in the left-right direction of the air outlet 7, the amount of wind sent out from the left and right side ends is reduced.

特に、図７の（ｂ）に示すように、導風板３が上述したＲ形状を有しているので、導風板３の上端部から送出される風は、導風板３のＲ形状に沿うことで自ずと天井１００に沿って進む風となり、コアンダ効果にて遠くへ送り出すことができる。 In particular, as shown in FIG. 7B, since the baffle plate 3 has the above-mentioned R shape, the wind sent from the upper end portion of the baffle plate 3 has the R shape of the baffle plate 3. The wind naturally travels along the ceiling 100, and can be sent far away by the Coanda effect.

（空気調和機１の制御装置）
図８は、空気調和機１の制御装置の構成を示すブロック図である。図８に示すように、空気調和機１の制御装置は、例えばマイクロコンピュータからなる制御部３１および記憶部３９を備えている。制御部３１には受信部３６が接続され、受信部３６は、ユーザが操作するリモートコントローラ（以下、単にリモコンと称する）３７からの指令を受信する。制御部３１は、リモコン３７からの指令に応じて、イオン発生器３８、空調部３２、蓋駆動モータ３３、導風板駆動モータ３４および送風機モータ３５の動作を制御する。記憶部３９は、イオン発生器３８、空調部３２、蓋駆動モータ３３、導風板駆動モータ３４および送風機モータ３５の動作を制御するために必要な各種の情報を記憶している。 (Control device for air conditioner 1)
FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the control device of the air conditioner 1. As shown in FIG. 8, the control device of the air conditioner 1 includes, for example, a control unit 31 and a storage unit 39 including a microcomputer. A receiving unit 36 is connected to the control unit 31, and the receiving unit 36 receives a command from a remote controller (hereinafter, simply referred to as a remote controller) 37 operated by the user. The control unit 31 controls the operations of the ion generator 38, the air conditioning unit 32, the lid drive motor 33, the baffle plate drive motor 34, and the blower motor 35 in response to a command from the remote controller 37. The storage unit 39 stores various information necessary for controlling the operations of the ion generator 38, the air conditioning unit 32, the lid drive motor 33, the baffle plate drive motor 34, and the blower motor 35.

空調部３２は、冷凍サイクルを実行する部分であり、蒸発器、凝縮機および圧縮機等、冷凍サイクルを実行するための構成を有する。空調部３２は、室内機である空気調和機１および室外機５に亘って構成されている。 The air-conditioning unit 32 is a portion that executes the refrigeration cycle, and has a configuration for executing the refrigeration cycle, such as an evaporator, a condenser, and a compressor. The air conditioner 32 includes an air conditioner 1 and an outdoor unit 5 which are indoor units.

蓋駆動モータ３３は、蓋部１２を駆動して開閉動作を行わせる。導風板駆動モータ３４は、例えば暖房や冷房の設定、あるいはユーザ設定に応じて、導風板３をそれぞれの位置に配置されるように駆動する。送風機モータ３５は、送風ファン１３を回転させる。 The lid drive motor 33 drives the lid portion 12 to open and close. The baffle plate drive motor 34 drives the baffle plate 3 so as to be arranged at each position according to, for example, heating or cooling settings or user settings. The blower motor 35 rotates the blower fan 13.

本実施の形態において、制御部３１は、冷凍サイクルを動作させない空気清浄運転の開始が指示されると、導風板駆動モータ３４を動作させることなく導風板３を閉位置としたままで、送風機モータ３５に指示して送風ファン１３を回転させる。これにより、閉位置モードでの空気清浄運転が実行される。 In the present embodiment, when the control unit 31 is instructed to start the air cleaning operation in which the refrigeration cycle is not operated, the control unit 31 keeps the baffle plate 3 in the closed position without operating the baffle plate drive motor 34. Instruct the blower motor 35 to rotate the blower fan 13. As a result, the air cleaning operation in the closed position mode is executed.

閉位置モードで行う空気清浄運転としては、ＨＥＰＡフィルタを用いる空気清浄Ａ運転でも、イオン発生器３８で発生したイオンを用いる空気清浄Ｂ運転でもよい。ＨＥＰＡフィルタによる空気清浄Ａ運転であれば、制御部３１は、蓋駆動モータ３３を駆動させて蓋部１２を閉じる。イオン発生器３８を用いた空気清浄Ｂ運転では、蓋部１２は開放したままとし、イオン発生器３８をオンする。もちろん、空気清浄Ａ運転と空気清浄Ｂ運転の両方を一緒に行ってもよく、その場合は、制御部３１は、蓋駆動モータ３３を駆動させて蓋部１２を閉じ、イオン発生器３８をオンする。 The air cleaning operation performed in the closed position mode may be an air cleaning A operation using a HEPA filter or an air cleaning B operation using ions generated by the ion generator 38. In the air cleaning A operation by the HEPA filter, the control unit 31 drives the lid drive motor 33 to close the lid unit 12. In the air purification B operation using the ion generator 38, the lid portion 12 is left open and the ion generator 38 is turned on. Of course, both the air cleaning A operation and the air cleaning B operation may be performed at the same time. In that case, the control unit 31 drives the lid drive motor 33 to close the lid portion 12 and turn on the ion generator 38. To do.

また、制御部３１は、閉位置モードにて空気清浄運転を実行中に、リモコン３７から導風板３の風向角度が設定された場合は、導風板３が設定された風向角度となるように導風板駆動モータ３４を駆動させる。 Further, when the wind direction angle of the baffle plate 3 is set by the remote controller 37 while the air cleaning operation is being executed in the closed position mode, the control unit 31 makes the wind direction plate 3 set to the set wind direction angle. Drives the baffle plate drive motor 34.

また、本実施の形態において、制御部３１は、空気清浄運転から空調運転への移行において、送風ファン１３は停止させず、継続させる。 Further, in the present embodiment, the control unit 31 does not stop the blower fan 13 but continues it in the transition from the air cleaning operation to the air conditioning operation.

（空気調和機１の利点）
空気調和機１は、導風板３が閉位置にある状態で、導風板３と吹出口７との間に所定の距離Ｘ以上の隙間１０を有し、該隙間より吹出口７から吹き出した風を機外へ送出する閉位置モードを有する。したがって、閉位置モードによる運転を選択することで、導風板３が閉位置にある圧迫感の少ない風貌にて、空気調和機１を運転させることが可能となる。これにより、運転時にユーザに与える圧迫感を低減することができる。 (Advantages of air conditioner 1)
The air conditioner 1 has a gap 10 of a predetermined distance X or more between the baffle plate 3 and the air outlet 7 in a state where the air conditioner 3 is in the closed position, and blows out from the air outlet 7 through the gap. It has a closed position mode that sends out the wind to the outside of the aircraft. Therefore, by selecting the operation in the closed position mode, it is possible to operate the air conditioner 1 with the appearance that the baffle plate 3 is in the closed position and there is little feeling of oppression. This makes it possible to reduce the feeling of oppression given to the user during driving.

また、床面に設置されるタイプの空気清浄機においては、常時スイッチを入れた状態で使用されることがあるが、同様の使い方を従来の空気清浄機能を有する空気調和機にて実行しようとすると、常に導風板が開いた状態となるため、圧迫感を嫌うユーザには受け入れられない恐れがある。 In addition, in the type of air purifier installed on the floor, it is sometimes used with the switch on all the time, but in an attempt to perform the same usage with an air conditioner having a conventional air purifying function. Then, since the baffle plate is always in the open state, there is a risk that it will not be accepted by users who dislike the feeling of oppression.

しかしながら、上述したように、本実施の形態の空気調和機１では、空気清浄運転を閉位置モードにて実行するようになっているので、床置きのタイプの空気清浄機と同様の使い方としても、ユーザに与える圧迫感を低減することができる。 However, as described above, in the air conditioner 1 of the present embodiment, the air cleaning operation is executed in the closed position mode, so that the air conditioner 1 can be used in the same manner as the floor-standing type air purifier. , The feeling of oppression given to the user can be reduced.

これにより、空気調和機１による空気清浄運転の実行を受け入れやすくして、空気調和機１による空気清浄運転の普及に貢献できる。なお、本実施の形態では、空気清浄運転を閉位置モードにて実行する構成を例示したが、冷房運転、暖房運転、除湿運転等を閉位置モードにて行うことも可能である。 This makes it easier to accept the execution of the air cleaning operation by the air conditioner 1, and can contribute to the spread of the air cleaning operation by the air conditioner 1. Although the configuration in which the air cleaning operation is executed in the closed position mode is illustrated in the present embodiment, it is also possible to perform the cooling operation, the heating operation, the dehumidifying operation, and the like in the closed position mode.

また、本実施の形態において、空気清浄運転から空調運転への移行において、送風ファン１３は停止されず、送風が継続される。これにより、切り替えがスムーズに行え、空調運転が遅延なく開始される。その結果、ユーザ操作に対する応答性に優れたものとなり、ユーザの満足度を上げることができる。 Further, in the present embodiment, in the transition from the air cleaning operation to the air conditioning operation, the blower fan 13 is not stopped and the blower is continued. As a result, switching can be performed smoothly, and the air conditioning operation can be started without delay. As a result, the responsiveness to the user operation becomes excellent, and the user satisfaction can be increased.

また、導風板駆動機構にて隙間１０を確保した閉位置にまで導風板を移動させる構成とすることも考えられるが、その場合、閉位置に保持している間、導風板駆動機構に負荷がかかる。床置きのタイプの空気清浄機のように、常時空気清浄運転を実行し続ける使い方を考えた場合、導風板３が閉位置にある状態で導風板駆動機構に係る負荷は極力小さくすることが好ましい。 Further, it is conceivable that the baffle plate drive mechanism moves the baffle plate to a closed position where a gap 10 is secured, but in that case, the baffle plate drive mechanism is held while being held in the closed position. Is overloaded. When considering how to use the air purifier that is placed on the floor to constantly perform air cleaning operation, the load on the baffle plate drive mechanism should be as small as possible while the baffle plate 3 is in the closed position. Is preferable.

上記構成によれば、隙間１０を有する閉位置が、導風板駆動機構による導風板３の開駆動の初期位置であるので、導風板駆動機構に含まれる駆動ギア等に負荷を掛けずに隙間１０を確保した状態を保持できる。また、導風板駆動モータ３４のホームポジションであるので、導風板３の開駆動を迅速に開始できるといった利点もある。 According to the above configuration, since the closed position having the gap 10 is the initial position of the open drive of the baffle plate 3 by the baffle plate drive mechanism, no load is applied to the drive gear or the like included in the baffle plate drive mechanism. The state in which the gap 10 is secured can be maintained. Further, since it is the home position of the baffle plate drive motor 34, there is an advantage that the open drive of the baffle plate 3 can be started quickly.

〔実施の形態２〕
本発明の他の実施の形態について、以下に説明する。なお、説明の便宜上、上記実施の形態にて説明した部材と同じ機能を有する部材については、同じ符号を付記し、その説明を繰り返さない。 [Embodiment 2]
Other embodiments of the present invention will be described below. For convenience of explanation, the members having the same functions as the members described in the above-described embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

図９、本実施の形態に係る空気調和機１’の、導風板３が閉位置にある状態の側面図である。図１０は、空気調和機１’の、導風板３が閉位置にある状態の正面図である。図９、図１０に示すように、前面パネル４における吹出口７の下方に、導風板３と前面パネル４との間に形成される隙間１０を狭めるための凸形状２５が形成されている。凸形状２５は、左右方向に長く形成されている。このような凸形状２５が形成されることで、隙間１０は、吹出口７の下方においてその上方および左右の側方よりも狭くなっている。また、このような凸形状２５は、導風板３における吹出口７の下方と対向する部分に設けてもよい。 FIG. 9 is a side view of the air conditioner 1'according to the present embodiment in a state where the baffle plate 3 is in the closed position. FIG. 10 is a front view of the air conditioner 1'in a state where the baffle plate 3 is in the closed position. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, a convex shape 25 for narrowing the gap 10 formed between the baffle plate 3 and the front panel 4 is formed below the air outlet 7 in the front panel 4. .. The convex shape 25 is formed long in the left-right direction. By forming such a convex shape 25, the gap 10 is narrower below the air outlet 7 than above and on the left and right sides thereof. Further, such a convex shape 25 may be provided at a portion of the baffle plate 3 facing below the air outlet 7.

凸形状２５は、前面パネル４あるいは導風板３の一部として形成してもよいが、軟質材料を採用して別部品として形成し、前面パネル４又は導風板３に取り付けてもよい。軟質材料からなる凸形状２５とすることで、対向する導風板３又は前面パネル４に当接した状態で上記隙間１０を完全にシールすることができる。 The convex shape 25 may be formed as a part of the front panel 4 or the baffle plate 3, but may be formed as a separate part by adopting a soft material and attached to the front panel 4 or the baffle plate 3. By forming the convex shape 25 made of a soft material, the gap 10 can be completely sealed in a state of being in contact with the facing baffle plate 3 or the front panel 4.

図１１の（ａ）（ｂ）は、空気調和機１’の閉位置モード時の風の吹き出しを説明する図であり、（ａ）は正面より見た図、（ｂ）は側面より見た図である。図１１の（ａ）（ｂ）に示すように、凸形状２５によって隙間１０が狭められることで、導風板３の下端部から送出される風量が少なくなり、導風板３の上端部から送出される風量が多くなる。 11 (a) and 11 (b) are views for explaining wind blowing in the closed position mode of the air conditioner 1', (a) is a front view, and (b) is a side view. It is a figure. As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the convex shape 25 narrows the gap 10 so that the amount of air sent from the lower end of the baffle plate 3 is reduced and the air volume is reduced from the upper end of the baffle plate 3. The amount of air sent out increases.

導風板３の下端部から送出される風は、空気調和機１の下方に向かうため、空気調和機１の下方に居るユーザに直接当たることがあり、ユーザによっては、風が直に当たることを好まないことがある。このような構成として下方に向かう風量を抑えることで、風が当たることを好まないユーザにも閉位置モードによる運転を好適に利用してもらうことが可能になる。また、導風板３の上端部から送出される風量が増えることでより多くの風を遠くへ送り出すことができる。 Since the wind sent from the lower end of the baffle plate 3 goes to the lower side of the air conditioner 1, it may directly hit the user who is under the air conditioner 1, and depending on the user, the wind may hit directly. Sometimes I don't like it. By suppressing the downward air volume as such a configuration, it becomes possible for a user who does not like to be hit by the wind to preferably use the operation in the closed position mode. Further, by increasing the amount of air sent from the upper end of the baffle plate 3, more wind can be sent far away.

The air outlet 7 is formed on the front panel 4 of this portion. The two baffle plates 3A and 3B are mounted vertically so that the inside of the air outlet 7 cannot be seen from the direction of arrow Y in the closed position, and the two baffle plates 3A and 3B are in the closed position. There is a gap 10 of a predetermined distance X or more between the air outlet 7 and the air outlet 7.

Also, the operation in the closed position mode in which the wind is sent out from the gap 10 can be applied. The point is that the air conditioner covers the air outlet in the air conditioner so that the inside cannot be seen when the air conditioner is stopped, and the air conditioner is moved to open the air conditioner when the air conditioner is operating. It should be.

また、空気清浄部として、実施の形態１、２で例示した空気調和機１，１’においては、ＨＥＰＡフィルタおよびイオン発生器３８を例示したが、これらに限るものではなく、空調空間の空気を空気調和機から送出する風にて清浄できるものであれば、どのようなタイプでもよい。 Further, as the air purifying unit, the HEPA filter and the ion generator 38 are exemplified in the air conditioners 1 and 1'exemplified in the first and second embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these, and the air in the air conditioning space is used.
