Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to an air conditioner having side air outlets.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in a ceiling-suspended air conditioner, the fourth
As shown in the front view of the figure, air is blown forward by a blower 3 driven by a fan motor 2, sent through an air heat exchanger 6, and then blown out from a front air outlet 10. As shown in the perspective view of FIG. 5, when the air outlet shielding plate 8 is opened, a part of the air from the blower 3 passes through the main body side plate opening 5, blows out from the side air outlet 9, and exits the air outlet. When the shielding plate 8 is closed, no air is blown out from the side outlet 9.

Here, 4 is the fan casing, 7 is the side plate, 1
1 is a slide groove.

However, in such a side outlet opening/closing structure, even if the side outlet shielding plate 8 of the side plate 7 is slid to open the side outlet 9, the blower 3 is disposed in the forward direction. Most of the air blown out flows toward the front outlet 10, and the amount of air that exits through the side outlet 9 is extremely small.
The effect of making the indoor temperature distribution uniform is not very high.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention was proposed in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose is to provide an air conditioner that achieves uniformity of indoor temperature by greatly controlling the amount of air blown out to the sides. .

[Means for solving problems]

To this end, the present invention provides an air conditioner equipped with a front outlet and a side outlet, in which a wind direction control plate is pivotally attached to the side outlet, and the air direction control plate is linked to the opening ratio of the outlet. It is characterized by being equipped with a lateral air blowing structure that changes the rotation angle.

[Effect]

With such a configuration, a part of the air blown out from the blower is guided to the side along the wind direction control plate, and a required amount of air can be blown out from the side outlet.

〔Example〕

An embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a ceiling-suspended air conditioner will be explained with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a front view showing its internal structure, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the side outlet opening/closing structure of Fig. 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a modification of FIG. 2.

First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the same symbols as in FIGS. 4 and 5 indicate the same members as in FIGS. 4 and 5, respectively, and 12 is a link, 13 is a wind direction control plate, and 14 is a rotating shaft.

In such a structure, the wind direction control plate 13 is rotatably supported around a rotating shaft 14 and is linked to the air outlet shielding plate 8 by a link 12, so that the wind direction control plate 13 can be rotated from a position parallel to the side plate 7. axis 14
It is possible to open the angle in the direction of the blower 3 with the center at the center.

Here, when the air outlet shielding plate 8 moves along the slide groove 11 in the direction of opening the side air outlet 9, that is, to the left, the air direction control plate 13 rotates around the rotation axis 14 due to the action of the link 12. However, it can have an arbitrary angle α with respect to the side plate 7.

Further, when the air outlet shielding plate 8 is moved in the direction of closing, that is, to the right, the angle α becomes smaller, and when the air outlet shielding plate 8 is fully closed, the angle α becomes zero, that is, the wind direction control plate 13 is moved toward the side air outlet 9. It becomes parallel to the side plate 7 of the part having .

According to this structure, air is blown out by the blower 3 driven by the fan motor 2, passes through the air heat exchanger 6, and is blown out forward from the front outlet 10 as before. At that time, when the air outlet shielding plate 8 is closed, the wind direction control plate 13 becomes parallel to the side plate 7 of the portion having the side air outlet 9, the main body side plate opening 5 is closed, and air is directed to the side air outlet 9. There is no flow.

When the air outlet shielding plate 8 is opened now, the opening degree and the wind direction control plate 13 are centered around the rotating shaft 14.
Since the angle of the blower 3 becomes wider as it moves toward the center of the air conditioner, the air blown out from the blower 3 is deflected by the wind direction control plate 13, passes through the main body side plate opening 5, and reaches the side outlet 9. be led to.

Note that the structure shown in FIG. 2 can also be modified as shown in FIG. 3.

That is, a slide plate 1 having a protruding knob 16 is fitted into the side plate 7 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction along a slide groove 17, and the slide plate 15 and the wind direction control plate 13 are pivotally connected via a link 12. connected.

Therefore, since the wind direction control plate 13 functions as an air outlet shielding plate, substantially the same effects as in the above embodiment can be achieved.

As shown in the above embodiments and modifications, by opening and closing the air outlet shielding plate 8 or sliding the knob 16, the wind direction control plate 13 opens toward the blower 3.
Since the air blown from the front air outlet 10 and the side air outlet 9 is deflected and guided to the side air outlet 9, the amount of air to the side air outlet 9 is greatly increased. Since the air is blown out, the temperature distribution of the indoor air becomes uniform.

This type of side outlet opening/closing structure can also be applied to wall-mounted air conditioners and floor-standing air conditioners.

[Effect of idea]

In short, according to the present invention, in an air conditioner equipped with a front outlet and a side outlet, a wind direction control plate is pivotally attached to the side outlet, and the wind direction is controlled in conjunction with the opening ratio of the outlet. By providing a lateral air blowing structure that changes the rotation angle of the plate, the amount of air blown to the side can be greatly controlled, thereby achieving an air conditioner that can even out the indoor temperature. is extremely useful for industry.
