2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as an indoor unit of an air conditioner, a cross fin heat exchanger and a cross flow fan are arranged in a substantially rectangular casing mounted on a wall surface, and are provided below the casing. Some air-conditioning air is blown out from the air outlet. However, the indoor unit of the air conditioner has a drawback that it does not fit the interior of the room because the protrusion from the wall surface is large and the depth cannot be reduced. Therefore, the present applicant has manufactured an indoor unit of an air conditioner that can improve the interior characteristics of a room by reducing the thickness. The indoor unit of this air conditioner has a heat exchanger in which a shaft is disposed in the casing in the front-rear direction, and is disposed on the rear side of the heat exchanger in the casing, and receives air sucked from the front side with respect to the shaft. A turbo fan that blows outward in the radial direction. The casing is provided with outlets for blowing in four directions, that is, up and down and left and right. When the turbo fan is rotated, the air sucked in from the inlet on the front side is blown out from each outlet in four directions.

By the way, in the indoor unit of the air conditioner using the turbo fan, the flow of the air blown out from the turbo fan by the plane blade and the plurality of curved blades attached to the outlet of the casing. However, the air blown out of the turbo fan blows outward at a front side in the rotation direction of the turbo fan and approximately 40 degrees outward with respect to a tangent to the outer periphery of the turbo fan. For this reason, there is a problem that the air is not blown out in a direction along a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the air outlet of the casing, and desired air blowing performance cannot be obtained. That is, since the plurality of curved blades have the same shape, and the intervals between them are substantially the same, a direction along a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outlet on the front side in the rotation direction of the turbofan. If the shape of the curved surface of each curved blade is made uniform so that it blows out, the angle of incidence of the airflow with respect to the blade surface of the rear curved blade becomes large, and separation occurs, while the rear in the rotation direction of the turbo fan When the shape of the curved surface of each curved blade is aligned so that the air blows out in a direction along a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outlet on the side, the air flow is incident on the blade surface of the curved blade on the front side Since the angle becomes large and separation occurs, there is a problem that the air flow is not efficiently rectified and noise is generated by the separation. In addition, when the intervals between the curved blades adjacent to each other are aligned so that the rectification is optimized on the front side in the rotation direction of the turbofan, the rectification effect of the curved blades on the rear side is reduced, while the rotation direction of the turbofan in the rotation direction is reduced. If the intervals between the curved blades adjacent to each other are made uniform so that the rectification is optimized on the rear side, the rectification effect of the curved blades on the front side is reduced, so that the air flow cannot be rectified efficiently.
