Description

  The present application discloses a wind direction adjusting device for an air-conditioning outlet and a connecting member thereof.

  In recent years, air conditioners that perform indoor air conditioning are installed in various buildings such as buildings, stores, hospitals, and houses. There are types of air conditioners that are embedded in the ceiling, walls, etc., those that are suspended from the ceiling, and those that are installed on the wall surface, all of which are common in that they are equipped with air conditioning outlets that blow out air-conditioned air into the room. .

  By the way, since the specific gravity of air is inversely proportional to the temperature, warm air accumulates in the upper part of the room. Also, cold air collects in the lower part of the room. Therefore, for example, when performing the cooling operation, the air conditioner blows out cool air from the air conditioning outlet toward the lower part of the room so that warm air accumulated in the upper part of the room can be efficiently sucked and air-conditioned. Therefore, in order to avoid the cold air blown out from the air conditioning outlet from hitting a person in the room, for example, a device for adjusting the air direction of the air conditioning outlet as shown in Patent Document 1 is commercially available.

Utility Model Registration No. 3114170

  There are various sizes and blowing directions of the air-conditioning outlet provided in the air conditioner. For example, in the case of an air conditioner of the type embedded in an indoor ceiling, for example, two elongated air conditioning outlets parallel to each other can blow out air in two directions, or elongated air conditioning outlets are adjacent to each other at right angles in four directions. Some air can be blown out. Generally, in the case of an air conditioner that blows air in two directions at two air conditioning outlets, the length of the air conditioning outlet is longer than an air conditioner that blows air in four directions at four air conditioning outlets.

  Therefore, the commercially available wind direction adjusting device attached to the air-conditioning outlet has a function of expanding and contracting to match the length of the air-conditioning outlet in the installation location, and a right angle so as to follow two elongated air-conditioning outlets adjacent to each other at right angles. It is convenient to have a function that transforms into various forms. However, the compatibility between the function of expanding and contracting the plate-like member for adjusting the wind direction and the function of deforming to a right-angle form is structurally complicated. Compared to the wind direction adjustment function originally required by the wind direction adjustment device, the expansion and contraction function and the deformation function are merely additional functions, so the mechanism that realizes the expansion and contraction function and the deformation function is a mechanism that realizes the wind direction adjustment function. More complex is not preferred.

  Therefore, the present application discloses a wind direction adjusting device for an air-conditioning outlet and a connecting member thereof capable of expanding and contracting a plate-like member for adjusting the wind direction with a simple mechanism or making it a right angle form.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, in the present invention, a connecting portion that connects the first face plate portion that receives the air blown from the air-conditioning outlet and the other face plate portion is provided.

  Specifically, the present invention is an air conditioning device for an air conditioning outlet, and is arranged in front of an air conditioning outlet from which air conditioned by an air conditioner blows and receives air blown from the air conditioning outlet. A face plate portion, an attachment portion for attaching the first face plate portion in front of the air conditioning outlet, and a connecting portion for connecting the other face plate portion to the first face plate portion.

  With the wind direction adjusting device described above, various other face plate portions can be connected to the first face plate portion by the connecting portion. Therefore, the wind direction is adjusted by connecting the face plate portion having an appropriate shape to the first face plate portion. It is possible to substantially expand and contract the plate-shaped member to be formed into a right-angled form with a simple mechanism.

  The connecting portion includes a first sandwiching portion and a second sandwiching portion that sandwich the walls provided at the edge of the first face plate portion and the edge of the other face plate portion, and the first sandwiching portion at one end. And a second sandwiching portion at the other end, and a engaged portion provided at each edge of the first face plate portion and the other face plate portion, provided on the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, respectively. And an engaging portion that engages with. If it is a wind direction adjustment apparatus provided with such a connection part, a 1st face plate part and another face plate part can be connected with a simple mechanism.

  The first face plate portion has a generally rectangular outer shape, and the wind direction adjusting device is connected to the short side of the first face plate portion by the connecting portion at 45 degrees with respect to the short side of the first face plate portion. You may further provide the 2nd faceplate part which has the inclined side which inclines on the non-connecting side. With such a wind direction adjusting device, it is possible to realize a form that is substantially perpendicular to the air-conditioning outlet that is adjacent to the right angle with a simple mechanism.

  Moreover, the present invention can also be understood from the side as a connecting member. For example, the present invention is arranged in front of an air conditioning outlet through which air conditioned by an air conditioner blows out, and the walls provided at the edges of each face plate that receives air blown out from the air conditioning outlet Provided in the first and second sandwiching portions that sandwich the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, the first sandwiching portion at one end and the second sandwiching portion at the other end, and the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion, respectively. And an engaging portion that engages with the engaged portion at the edge of each face plate portion.

  If it is said wind direction adjustment apparatus and its connection member of an air-conditioning blower outlet, it will become possible to expand and contract a plate-shaped member which adjusts a wind direction with a simple mechanism, or to make it a right-angled form.

  FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the connecting member as viewed obliquely from above. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the connecting member as viewed obliquely from below. The wind direction adjusting device 3 includes a connecting member 20. The connecting member 20 (an example of a “connecting portion” in the present application) is a member for connecting the wing plate 4 to another wing plate. The connecting member 20 includes a first sandwiching portion 21 and a second sandwiching portion 22 that sandwich a wall portion 7S provided on the edge of the wing plate 4 and a wall portion provided on another wing plate. Further, the connecting member 20 has a rod-like portion 23 that stretches the first holding portion 21 at one end and the second holding portion 22 at the other end. In addition, the connecting member 20 is provided in the first clamping portion 21 and engages with a claw 13F on the edge wall portion 7S of the wing plate 4 and a claw on the edge wall portion of another wing plate 4. It has a claw 24F (which is an example of an “engagement portion” in the present application). Further, the connecting member 20 is provided in the second sandwiching portion 22 and engages with a claw 13R on the wall 7S at the edge of the wing plate 4 and a claw on the wall at the edge of another wing plate. It has a claw 24R (an example of an “engagement portion” in the present application).

  The connecting member 20 is used as follows. FIG. 5 is a first view showing how to use the connecting member 20. For example, when a corner wing plate 4C having a hypotenuse inclined at 45 degrees with respect to the short side of the wing plate 4 on the non-connection side as shown in FIG. 5 is connected to the wing plate 4, the wall portion 7S of the wing plate 4 is used. The corner wing plate 4C is attached to the short side of the wing plate 4 so that the wall portion 7CS of the corner wing plate 4C is adjacent to the corner wing plate 4C.

At this time, since the engaging claw 24F hits the claw 13F, the first clamping part 21 moves slightly toward the second clamping part 22 side. Moreover, since the engaging claw 24R hits the claw 13R, the second clamping part 22 moves slightly toward the first clamping part 21 side. Therefore, the rod-like portion 23 is slightly bent like a bow.

  FIG. 8 is a fourth view showing a method of using the connecting member 20. While the rod-like portion 23 is slightly bent like a bow, by pushing the first clamping portion 21 and the second clamping portion 22 as they are, the engaging claws 24F are engaged with the claws 13F, and the wall portions 7S, The sandwiched state of 7CS is maintained, and the engaging claw 24R is engaged with the claw 13R, and the sandwiched state of the walls 7S and 7CS by the second sandwiching portion 22 is maintained.

  FIG. 9 is an example of an attached state of the wind direction adjusting device 3 in which the corner wing plate 4 </ b> C is connected to the wing plate 4. By connecting the corner wing plate 4C to the wing plate 4, the airflow direction adjusting device 3 is configured so that, for example, as shown in FIGS. When mounted on the air conditioner 1 that blows out, the air conditioner 1 is substantially deformed into a right-angled form along two air-conditioning outlets 2 and 2 that are adjacent to each other at a right angle.
