[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a wind direction adjusting device 10 for an air conditioner according to a first embodiment of the present invention. The air direction adjusting device 10 for an air conditioner according to this embodiment has a rectangular wind direction control plate 1 having excellent heat resistance and cold resistance. 2, the wind direction control plate 12 is made of a transparent and moderately elastic synthetic resin and has a substantially uniform thickness of, for example, 0.4 mm. The length of the wind direction control plate 12 in one direction is substantially the same as the length of the air outlet 14 of the air conditioner 13 in the horizontal direction. A fold line 16 is formed substantially at the center of the wind direction control plate 12 along a direction substantially the same length as the air outlet 14 of the air conditioner 13. The wind direction control plate 12 is bent at a substantially right angle by a crease line 16, and one surface divided by the crease line 16 is an attachment surface 18 and the other is a control surface 20. The mounting surface 18 of the wind direction control plate 12 is slightly curved outward and upward. The crease line 16 is a corner between the mounting surface 18 and the control surface 20, and the corner is rounded at a predetermined radius to be formed smoothly.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a side edge 18 a of the mounting surface 18 of the wind direction control plate 12 parallel to the fold line 16 is a long member having an L-shaped cross section. Certain support parts 22 are mounted along side edge 18a. One side surface 22a of the support part 22 is mounted so as to overlap the outside of the mounting surface 18, and the other side surface 22b of the support part 22 projects substantially perpendicularly to the mounting surface 18. At two locations near the end of the support part 22, connecting portions 24 are attached. An angle adjusting member 26 having a triangular cross-section and attached to the outer surface of the support part 22 is attached to the connecting portion 24. An insertion plate 28, which is a thin plate, is provided at the vertex of the angle adjusting member 26. The angle of the insertion plate 28 with respect to the mounting surface 18 is set according to the model of the air conditioner 13 to which the air conditioner wind direction adjusting device 10 is mounted and the desired wind direction, and is, for example, 30 ° to 60 ° with respect to the mounting surface 18. . The angle of the insertion plate 28 with respect to the mounting surface 18 can be changed by using the angle adjusting member 26 having a different shape. Further, the angle adjusting member 26 may have a function of changing an angle by a ratchet mechanism or the like.

The insertion plate 28 is formed to have a thickness that can be inserted into the slit 32 of the suction panel 30 on the front surface of the air conditioner 13. A sponge 34 as a non-slip member is attached to the inner side surface of the insertion plate 28 slightly inside the edge of the insertion plate 28. If the sponge 34 is provided along the edge of the insertion plate 28, it will be a problem when the insertion plate 28 is inserted into the slit 32 of the suction panel 30 on the front surface of the air conditioner 13. It is attached to the inner side from the edge. The size of the sponge 34 is, for example, 5 mm in width, 2.0 to 2.5 mm in thickness, and about 50 mm in length.

Next, a method of using the airflow direction adjusting device 10 for an air conditioner according to this embodiment will be described. First, the insertion plate 28 of the connecting portion 24 of the airflow direction adjusting device 10 is inserted into the slit 32 at an arbitrary position of the suction panel 30 of the air conditioner 13. Then, the sponge 34 of the insertion plate 28 is pressed against the lower inner wall of the slit 32 and locked. At this time, the wind direction control plate 12 of the air conditioner wind direction adjusting device 10 is mounted so as to cover the air outlet 14 of the air conditioner 13, and the mounting surface 18 of the wind direction control plate 12 projects obliquely downward from the air conditioner 13. The control surface 20 of the control plate 12 extends obliquely downward toward the wall. In this state, when the air conditioner 13 is set to the cooling mode and is operated, the cool air blown out from the air outlet 14 of the air conditioner 13 changes its flow downward on the mounting surface 18 of the wind direction control plate 12, and the control surface 20. And blows out from directly below toward the window 3 and the wall 5 in a diagonally downward direction. As a result, as shown in FIG. 4, the cool air blown out from the air conditioner 13 flows from the air conditioner 13 toward the floor 2 immediately below, and spreads in the room along the floor 2 as indicated by an arrow. In addition, the warmed air flows toward the ceiling 6 in a range from almost the center of the room to the vicinity of the door 4 at the other end, as shown by the white arrow, and further flows to the ceiling 6 toward the air conditioner 13. Move along. In this way, the entire room is cooled gently while repeating the air circulation. At this time, the wind direction control plate 12 of the air conditioner wind direction adjusting device 10 has a control surface 20 that follows the direction of the air flow according to the strength of the air flow blown out from the air conditioner 13 and swings softly. Similarly, when the air conditioner 13 is operated with heating set, the air blown from the air conditioner 13 flows from the air conditioner 13 toward the floor 2 immediately below, and the air circulates in the room.

According to the air conditioner airflow direction adjusting device 10 of this embodiment, the air conditioner 13 can be attached to the air conditioner 13 with a simple structure with a simple structure, so that the airflow blown out from the air conditioner 13 does not directly hit a room person. The direction of the air flow can be adjusted. Since the wind direction control plate 12 of the wind direction adjusting device 10 for the air conditioner is transparent, there is no feeling of oppression and it is comfortable, and the display unit 36 of the air conditioner 13 can be seen through and is convenient. The wind direction control plate 12 softly swings following the direction of the airflow according to the strength of the airflow blown out from the air conditioner 13, so that the wind is blown out smoothly with little resistance.

The method of mounting the air conditioner wind direction adjusting device 10 to the air conditioner 13 is performed with a simple operation of simply inserting the pair of insertion plates 28 into the slits 32 of the air inlet panel 30 of the air conditioner 13 with one touch. Therefore, it is simple and easy, and is easy to remove. Since the slit 32 is inclined downward toward the inside of the air conditioner 13, the insertion plate 28 is pressed against the lower inner wall portion of the slit 32 by the weight of the wind direction control plate 12, and the slit 32 is securely engaged. Is stopped. Since the slit 32 of the inlet panel 30 of the air conditioner 13 is made tough to some extent, the air direction adjusting device 10 for the air conditioner can be reliably held. Further, since the mounting surface 18 of the wind direction control plate 12 is curved outward, the direction of the airflow flowing from the air conditioner 13 can be changed smoothly.
