The air layer A formed by is divided by the interval between the partition ribs 14a, and the air layer A is a closed space. As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4, the partition rib 14a partitions the air so as not to convect in the air layer A formed by the panel design part 14 and the panel closing part 15.
The volume of the air layer A is defined to be 80 cm 3 or less, and in experiments by the inventors, 50 to 60 cm 3 or less,
In particular, it was confirmed that it was suitable. In addition, although the partitioning of the volume is practically 80 cm 3 or less, the air layer A is set at a distance of 2 between the panel design part 14 and the panel closing part 15.
The convection in the air layer A formed by the panel design portion 14 and the panel closing portion 15 can be prevented by setting the thickness to not more than cm. The volume of the air space A formed by the panel design part 14 and the panel closing part 15 is divided into 80 cm 3 or less, and the panel design part 14 and the panel closing part 15 are divided.
Is set to 2 cm or less, the effect of preventing convection in the air layer A can be further enhanced.

At this time, the lower surface of the air layer A sealed by the panel design part 14, the panel closing part 15, and the sealing member 8 is cooled, and the air layer A is sequentially cooled from the lower part. However, since no convection occurs in the air layer A, the panel design portion 1
A predetermined temperature gradient extends from the surface of No. 4 to the panel closing portion 15 via the air layer A. At this time, since the temperature distribution does not become discontinuous from the surface of the panel design portion 14 to the air layer A, the surface of the panel design portion 14 can maintain a state close to the temperature of the cooling air to be blown out. , The air does not accumulate in the air layer A. Due to the difference between the temperature of the surface of the panel design part 14 and the temperature of the cooling air to be blown, the blown air is cooled on the surface of the panel design part 14, so that water droplets do not adhere to the surface of the panel design part 14.

Experiments were performed to find practical limits.
According to this, it was confirmed that there was no practical problem if the volume of the air layer A was partitioned to 80 cm 3 or less. In particular, if it is set to 50 to 60 cm 3 or less, the dividing rib 1
It was confirmed that the conditions were practically suitable also from the stand-up number of 4a and the ease of molding.

The space between the design part 14 and the panel closing part 15 is 2
It has been confirmed that convection hardly occurs even if the distance is set to not more than cm. Therefore, the interval between the panel design part 14 and the panel closing part 15 is set to 2 cm or less, and the volume of the air layer A is divided to 80 cm 3 or less, or
It has been confirmed that the condition of 0 cm 3 or less is the most desirable condition for practical use.

Since the volume of the air layer A formed at the interval between the panel design part 14 and the panel closure part 15 is not more than 80 cm 3 , water droplets do not adhere to the surface of the panel design part 14 and are practically suitable. Use condition can be maintained. Also, in particular, 50 to
When it is 60 cm 3 or less, not only can water droplets be prevented from adhering, but also from the viewpoint of the number of standing ribs 14a constituting the partitioning body and the number of standing inner walls 14b and the ease of molding, practically. It is a suitable condition. In the air layer A, if the distance between the panel design part 14 and the panel closing part 15 is set to 2 cm or less, convection can be prevented only by its thickness, and if it is defined as 80 cm 3 or less. It can be configured as a decorative panel for an air conditioner without reinforcement of special mechanical strength and without increasing the overall structure.

容易になる。Therefore, a sealing member made of a foamable synthetic resin is joined between the rib formed on the upper surface of the folded portion which is folded from the outer periphery of the panel design portion to the back surface and the rib of the panel closing portion, and the sealing is performed. Since the sealing property is provided between the ceiling plate and the top plate by the stop member, the air layer is sealed by the panel design part, the panel closing part, and the sealing member, and even if the lower surface of the air layer is cooled, Since convection does not occur in the layer, a predetermined temperature gradient is generated from the surface of the panel design part to the panel closing part via the air layer, and the surface of the panel design part is in a state close to the temperature of the blowing cooling air. Can be maintained. The rib formed on the upper surface of the folded portion and the sealing member made of a foamable synthetic resin joined to the rib of the panel closing portion are formed of a different material from the panel design portion and the panel closing portion. In that case, it needs to be separated. However, since the sealing member is joined to the rib of the folded portion of the panel design portion and the rib of the panel closing portion, the sealing member can be separated and the separation can be easily performed.
