The direction of the air discharged from the outlet can be deflected to the left or right or up and down. Also, since the connecting plate is divided into a plurality of blocks and the movable parts are connected to each block, for example, the left half is deflected to the left and the right half is deflected to the right. It is possible to change the wind direction.

[0008]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing an embodiment of an outdoor unit of an air conditioner according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the main part, FIG. 3 (A) is a cross-sectional view of the main part of FIG.
FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view of a main part showing another embodiment, and FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 (A), a plurality of vertical rails or horizontal rails 1 are formed integrally with the front cover 5, and a fixed part 1e is formed integrally with the fixed part 1e via the thin part 1a. A movable portion 1b, and a tip of the movable portion 1b is arranged at a right angle to the plurality of movable portions 1b via a thin portion 1d,
A plurality of connecting plates 1c, which are divided into a plurality of blocks, are combined and integrally formed, and a plurality of movable portions 1b are connected to each movable block. Further, the periphery of the air outlet 2 provided on the front surface 3 of the front cover 5 corresponds to the movable portion 1b,
A plurality of projections 2a are provided, which are engaged with the end portion 1ba of the movable portion 1b and are formed in a ridge extending radially in accordance with the rotation angle of the movable portion 1b.

Further, the plurality of projections 2a may be formed in a hemispherical shape as shown in FIG. The shape of the projection 2a is formed in a mountain shape or a semicircle so that the end 1ba of the movable portion 1b can easily get over the projection 2a and can be easily locked.
