After that, the air passes through the heat exchanger 38 and the opening 27 (the front upper opening 28 or the front lower opening 29), and the air direction is adjusted by the wind direction adjusting unit 40 (FIG. 23), and then passes through the air outlet formed on the front 24 side ( That is, the front upper blowing part 28H shown in FIG. 10 or the front lower blowing part 29H shown in FIG. 14) is blown out of the machine. According to the air conditioner 101 of the eighth embodiment, the air volume can be increased compared to the air conditioners of the above-mentioned first to seventh embodiments. The technical idea of providing the suction port 21H on the upper face 21 side without closing the upper face 21 side can also be implemented in combination with the ideas described in the above-mentioned embodiments 1 to 7.

(Blower 33) Referring to FIG. 25, in the eighth embodiment, the blower 33 disposed inside the housing 20 includes a first blower 33A and a second blower 33B. The first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction (here, the left-right direction connecting the side wall 25 and the side wall 26).

The first air blower 33A includes a drive motor 34A (first drive motor) and two multi-blade centrifugal fans 35 (35a, 35b) connected to the drive motor 34A through a rotation shaft 37A. The multi-blade centrifugal fan 35 (35a, 35b) constitutes a first blower fan unit. The first blower fan unit may also be composed of a multi-blade centrifugal fan 35. The first blower fan unit may include a plurality of (three or more) multi-blade centrifugal fans 35 arranged in a horizontal direction so as to be coaxial through the rotating shaft 37A.

The second air blower 33B includes a drive motor 34B (second drive motor) and two multi-blade centrifugal fans 35 (35c, 35d) connected to the drive motor 34B through a rotating shaft 37B.

The second blower fan unit may include a plurality of (three or more) multi-blade centrifugal fans 35 arranged in a horizontal direction so as to be coaxial through the rotating shaft 37B.

The size, shape, size, and product specifications of the various elements that constitute the first blower 33A and the size, shape, size, and product specifications of the various elements that constitute the second blower 33B can be set the same. The commonality of parts and machines can reduce manufacturing costs.

(Control part 39) The control part 39 (FIG. 25) is arrange | positioned near the center position in the horizontal direction of the casing 20 (FIG. 23). The control unit 39 houses a control device 39C (CPU, RAM, ROM, and / or microcomputer) inside. By controlling the device 39C, the operations (the rotation speed of the fan, etc.) of the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B are controlled. By controlling the device 39C, the operation of the heat exchanger 38 (refrigerant flow rate, etc.) can be further controlled.

Under the control of the control unit 39, at least one of the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B is driven. As a result, air is taken into the housing 20 from the suction ports 21H and 22H (FIG. 24), and the air becomes conditioned air by passing through the heat exchanger 38 and is blown out above the front side shown in FIG. 10. The part 28H or the lower blow part 29H shown in the front of FIG. 14) is blown out to the outside.

(Functions and effects) Regarding the size of the so-called wall-mounted air conditioner, considering the traditional characteristics of Japanese houses, for example, the horizontal space of the window is half (approximately 90cm), and the space on the window is 1 foot 5 inches (approximately 45cm ), For example, the width of the frame of the air conditioner is set to about 86 cm, and the height of the frame is set to about 30 cm.

In recent years, the demand to install larger windows on the walls is increasing. In other words, it is increasing that windows with a wide width and a high height and a very large range are installed in the room. Along with this, the space available for installing the air conditioner may be about 30 cm wide on the side of the window. Increasingly, air conditioners are required to be installed above the windows instead of by the windows.

When installing an air conditioner in a space with a small height on the upper side of the window, in order to ensure a flow path for intake air, it is considered to set the height of the air conditioner to less than 25 cm, for example. In order to ensure the predetermined performance or energy saving, although the width of the frame of the air conditioner is considered to be greater than 1 m, for example, in this case, the axial length of the blower must be greatly extended. However, when the length of the blower in the axial direction is greatly extended, the smallest manufacturing error or installation error (core deflection) can cause vibration and noise.

That is, considering the case of an air conditioner whose width of the frame is 4 times or more of the height of the frame, the structure of the air conditioner is not easy to rotate the fan stably, and vibration and noise due to the rotation of the fan are likely to occur . In order to prevent this, for example, a countermeasure for setting the rotation speed of the blower to a low value is considered, but this countermeasure is difficult to obtain energy saving.

In order to improve the air purification capacity of the air conditioner, high-performance filters are sometimes installed. High-performance filters are easy to cause pressure loss, so in order to obtain the air volume, the fan must be rotated at a high speed. Fans rotating at high speeds can easily become a source of vibration and noise. In an air conditioner whose width of the frame body is more than 4 times the height of the frame body, it is not easy to achieve low vibration or low noise.

On the other hand, according to the air conditioner 101 of the eighth embodiment, although the width W [mm] of the frame 20 becomes a long frame 20 which is four times or more the height h [mm] of the frame 20, the blower 33 includes the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction, so that the rotating shafts 37A and 37B provided in the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B of the blower 33 can be formed shorter (Figure 25), the multi-blade centrifugal fan 35 (35a to 35d) can be rotated stably. With this, the following blower can be realized: stable blower can be realized, and vibration caused by core deflection can be reduced, noise caused by the rotation of the fan can be reduced, and energy saving can be ensured.

(Other configuration 1 related to Embodiment 8) The first blower fan unit (multi-blade centrifugal 35a, 35b) and the second blower fan unit (multi-blade centrifugal 35c, 35d) can be driven at mutually different rotation speeds. The air volume and wind speed of the conditioned air blown from the first air blower 33A side may be different from the air volume and wind speed of the conditioned air blown from the second air blower 33B side. For example, by blowing strong wind from the left side of the air conditioner, and blowing weak wind from the right side, the effect of being able to blow out the conditioned air with two kinds of air volume and wind speed from the air outlet of the air conditioner is obtained.

(Other configuration 2 related to the eighth embodiment) As shown in FIG. 26, the heat exchanger 38M (first heat exchanger) can be arranged to face the first air blower 33A, and the heat exchanger 38N (second heat The exchanger) is arranged to face the second air blower 33B. For example, the control device 39C of the control unit 39 operates the refrigerant flow adjustment device (not shown), whereby the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the heat exchanger 38M and the flow rate of the refrigerant flowing through the heat exchanger 38N can be adjusted to be independent of each other The value can also adjust the flow in the form of such linkage. By adjusting the air volume and temperature of the conditioned air blown out from the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B, respectively, high-temperature warm air is blown from the left side of the air conditioner, and low-temperature warm air is blown from the right side. The effect of being able to blow out the conditioned air with two temperatures from the outlet of the air conditioner. The size, shape, size, and product specifications of the various elements that constitute the heat exchanger 38M can be set to be the same as the size, shape, size, and product specifications of the various elements that constitute the heat exchanger 38N. The commonality of parts and machines can reduce manufacturing costs.

Summarizing the other configurations 1 and 2 above, the control device 39C of the control unit 39 can emit the same refrigerant flow rate and the same rotation speed with respect to the first air blower 33A, the second air blower 33B, the heat exchanger 38M, and the heat exchanger 38N The instructions can also issue instructions for the same refrigerant flow rate and different rotation speeds, and can also issue instructions for different refrigerant flow rates and same rotation speeds, and can also issue instructions for different refrigerant flow rates and different rotation speeds.

(Other structure 3 related to the eighth embodiment) As shown in FIG. 27, the front upper blowing part 28H1 and the front upper blowing part 28H2 may be provided on the front surface 24 of the housing 20. In this case, a first wind direction adjusting device (louver) may be provided inside the front upper blowing part 28H1, and a second wind direction adjusting device (louver) may be provided inside the front upper blowing part 28H2. The first wind direction adjusting device adjusts the wind direction of the conditioned air generated by the first blower 33A (FIG. 26) and the heat exchanger 38M (FIG. 26). The second wind direction adjusting device adjusts the wind direction of the conditioned air generated by the second blower 33B (FIG. 26) and the heat exchanger 38N (FIG. 26).

As shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, for example, the wind direction (arrow DR1) of the conditioned air blown from the front upper blower 28H1 is set to be the same as the horizontal direction in the up-down direction, and is set to the left in the left-right direction. The wind direction (arrow DR2) of the conditioned air blown from the front upper blowing section 28H2 is set upward in the up-down direction, and is set to the center (front) in the left-right direction. With such a configuration, the wind directions of the two types of conditioned air blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner 101 (here, the front upper blowing part 28H1 and the front upper blowing part 28H2) can be set to respectively face different directions.

(Other configuration 4 related to the eighth embodiment) As shown in FIG. 29, the front lower blowing portion 29H1 and the front lower blowing portion 29H2 may be provided on the front surface 24 of the housing 20. In this case, a first wind direction adjusting device (louver) may be provided inside the front and lower blowing part 29H1, and a second wind direction adjusting device (louver) may be provided inside the front and lower blowing part 29H2. The first wind direction adjusting device adjusts the wind direction of the conditioned air generated by the first blower 33A (FIG. 26) and the heat exchanger 38M (FIG. 26). The second wind direction adjusting device adjusts the wind direction of the conditioned air generated by the second blower 33B (FIG. 26) and the heat exchanger 38N (FIG. 26).

As shown in FIGS. 29 and 30, for example, the wind direction (arrow DR1) of the conditioned air blown from the front and lower blowing section 29H1 is set to be the same as the horizontal direction in the up-down direction, and set to the left in the left-right direction. The wind direction (arrow DR2) of the conditioned air blown out from the front and lower blowing section 29H2 is set upward in the up-down direction, and set to the center (front) in the left-right direction. With such a configuration, the wind directions of the two types of conditioned air blown out from the air outlet of the air conditioner 101 (here, the front lower blowing part 29H1 and the front lower blowing part 29H2) can be set to respectively face different directions.

(Other configuration 5 related to the eighth embodiment) As shown in FIG. 31, the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B may be provided at positions opposite to each other with the control part 39 sandwiched in the horizontal direction. In this case, the drive motor 34A (first drive motor) may be disposed between the multi-blade centrifugal fans 35a, 35b (first air blower fan unit) and the controller 39 in the horizontal direction. The drive motor 34B (second drive motor) may be disposed between the multi-blade centrifugal fans 35c, 35d (second air blower fan unit) and the control unit 39 in the horizontal direction.

According to this configuration, the vibration modes generated by the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B can be divided at the position of the control unit 39, and the vibration mode generated by the first air blower 33A and the second air blow can be suppressed The overlapping phenomenon of the vibration modes generated by the unit 33B amplifies the vibration, and as a result, the vibration generated from the air conditioner 101 can be reduced. In addition, according to the above configuration, the processing of electrical wiring and the like can be simplified.

(Other configuration 6 related to the eighth embodiment) As shown in FIG. 32, the drive motor 34A and the drive motor 34B can be arranged apart from each other, and the control unit 39 can be arranged below the gravity direction of the drive motors 34A, 34B . With this configuration, the vibration modes generated by the first air blower 33A and the second air blower 33B can be divided at the position of the control unit 39, and the vibration modes generated by the first air blower 33A and the first The overlapping phenomenon of the vibration patterns generated by the second blower 33B amplifies the vibration. As a result, the vibration generated by the air conditioner 101 can be reduced. In addition, the presence of the control unit 39 can shield the vibration noise that may be transmitted to the living space below the air conditioner 101, and as a result, the noise generated from the air conditioner 101 can be reduced.
