An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner in which a convex portion for accommodating the connecting member is provided in the group, and the connecting member does not separate from the left and right wind direction plate group due to an external force during operation.

[0004]

In order to solve the above problems, a heat exchanger and a blower fan are provided in an air passage connecting a suction port and a blowout port formed in a main body, and left and right wind direction plates are provided at the blowout port. An air conditioner in which a group is rotatably supported, and a connecting portion projecting downward at the front end or rear end of the left and right wind direction plate group is connected by a connecting member. Is provided with a convex portion projecting downward of the connecting member, and the front end or the rear end of the connecting member is accommodated above the convex portion. Further, the convex portion is formed with a small clearance provided between the convex portion and the connecting member. Furthermore,
The convex portion is integrally formed with the left and right wind direction plate group.

[0005]

With the above structure, an air conditioner in which the left and right wind direction plate groups provided at the air outlet can be easily connected by the connection member and the connection member does not separate from the left and right air direction plate groups by an external force during operation. Become.

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, 1 is an indoor unit main body of an air conditioner, 2 is a front cover detachably covered by the main body 1 and a suction port provided on an upper surface of the main body 1, 3 is the main body 1 is a heat exchanger for exchanging heat with the air sucked from the suction port 2, and 4 is a blower fan provided in an air passage for sending out the air heat-exchanged with the heat exchanger 3 to an outlet described later. , 5 are outlets for blowing out the air delivered by the blower fan 4 toward the inside of the room. Reference numeral 6 denotes a left and right wind direction plate group which is provided on the rear side of the air outlet 5 for adjusting the left and right wind direction. 6a is a support shaft for rotatably pivoting the left and right wind direction plate group 6 on the rear bottom surface of the outlet 5, and the left and right wind direction plate group 6 is rotated around the support shaft 6a to move in the left and right direction. It is configured to adjust the wind direction. Reference numeral 6b denotes a connecting portion which projects downward at the front end or the rear end of the left / right airflow direction plate group 6 and connects the left / right airflow direction plate group 6 by a connecting member described later. 6c is a stopper continuously formed at the tip of the connecting portion 6b with an outer dimension slightly smaller than that of the connecting portion 6b.The stopper 6c holds the connecting member, which will be described later, connected to the connecting portion 6b so as not to separate. It is configured to do. The connecting portion 6b provided with the stopper 6c
Is configured such that the left and right wind direction plate group 6 which rotates in the left and right direction can be interlocked by projecting at the front end or the rear end of the left and right air direction plate group 6 and connecting a connecting member described later. 6d corresponds to a connecting member described later that is connected to the connecting portion 6b, for accommodating the front end or the rear end of the connecting member,
It is a convex portion integrally formed with the left and right wind direction plate group 6.
The convex portion 6d is formed integrally with the left and right wind direction plate group 6 by providing a small clearance between the convex portion 6d and the front end or the rear end of the connecting member, which will be described later. The structure is finished with high accuracy, which is advantageous in terms of cost. Further, the connecting member, which will be described later, can operate smoothly, and the connecting member of the connecting member is twisted due to external force during operation, so that the connecting hole of the connecting member has the stopper 6c. Even if it is separated from the connecting portion 6b, the protruding portion 6d holds the connecting member,
It is structured so that it can be prevented from coming off. Reference numeral 7 denotes a vertical wind direction plate which is rotatably supported on both side walls of the air outlet 5 in front of the left and right wind direction plate group 6 to adjust the vertical wind direction. Reference numeral 7a is a support shaft provided on both sides of the vertical wind direction plate 7. The vertical wind direction plate group 7 is rotated around the support shaft 7a to adjust the vertical wind direction. 8
Is a plate-like connecting member that is connected to the connecting portion 6b and has a connecting hole for interlocking the left and right wind direction plate group 6. By connecting the connecting member 8 to the connecting portion 6b, the left and right wind direction plate group 6
By interlocking with each other, the left and right wind direction at the outlet 5 can be effectively adjusted.

With the above structure, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the connecting hole of the connecting member 8 is connected by the connecting portion 6b projecting downward at the front end or the rear end of the left and right wind direction plate group 6. At the same time, the connecting member 8 is held by the stopper 6c so as not to come off, and the front end or the rear end of the left-right airflow direction vane group 6 is housed by the convex portion 6d with a small clearance provided therebetween. 8 can operate smoothly, and even if the connecting member 8 is twisted by an external force during operation and the connecting hole of the connecting member 8 is separated from the stopper 6c, the protrusion 6d does not move the same. The connecting member 8 can be held so as not to be separated from the connecting portion 6b, and the left and right wind direction plate group 6 interlockingly rotates about the support shaft 6a to effectively change the left and right wind direction. It becomes an adjustable air conditioner.
