Description
- The present invention relates to an indoor unit for, for example, an air-conditioning apparatus. In particular, the present invention relates to installation of an airflow direction louver (a wind deflection plate) disposed at an air outlet.
- For example, in an indoor unit for, for example, an air-conditioning apparatus, an airflow direction louver that serves as a wind deflection plate and that changes the direction of air blowing from an air outlet is often located at an air outlet. The airflow direction louver has a flat portion that guides air blowing from the air outlet. The airflow direction louver has a rotation shaft, at the ends of the airflow direction louver, for mounting a flat portion in an indoor unit body. On the other hand, the body has holes for supporting the rotation shafts such that the rotation shaft can rotate when placed in the holes. One of the holes has a bearing portion in which a drive motor is provided. In response to an instruction from a control device, for example, the drive motor can rotate the rotation shaft (the airflow direction louver) such that the rotation shaft becomes parallel with a decorative panel having an air outlet at a desired angle from a state in which the air outlet is closed (i.e., about zero degrees) (see, for example,
Patent Literatures 1 and 2). - [Patent Literature 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-041559
- [Patent Literature 2] Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2008-070051
- Rotation of, for example, an airflow direction louver typically requires attachment of a gear for transmitting a force from a drive motor to a rotation shaft. In this process, a rotation shaft of the airflow direction louver is inserted (press fitted) at the bottom of a bearing hole of the gear so that the airflow direction louver is positioned along the shaft direction.
- In this positioning, if an operator erroneously determines that the airflow direction louver is inserted at the bottom, the unit might be assembled with an incomplete insertion state. Since it has been difficult to determine the situation of insertion, such a difficulty might increase a variation in the rotation shaft direction occurring in installation of the airflow direction louver.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide, for example, an indoor unit that enables determination of whether or not a rotation shaft of an airflow direction louver is appropriately inserted into a gear.
- An indoor unit according to the present invention includes: an airflow direction louver that rotates about a rotation shaft and changes a direction of air that is blowing from an air outlet; and a louver gear that transmits a force from a driving device to the airflow direction louver, wherein the rotation shaft of the airflow direction louver is provided with an insertion indicator, and the louver gear has a hole that allows the insertion indicator to become visible when the airflow direction louver is inserted into a bearing hole in the louver gear and reaches a bottom of the bearing hole.
- According to the present invention, the airflow direction louver is provided with the insertion indicator, and the louver gear has the hole that allows the insertion indicator to become visible when the airflow direction louver is inserted into the bearing hole in the louver gear and reaches the bottom of the bearing hole. Thus, an operator can easily confirm that the airflow direction louver is inserted in the bearing hole and reaches the bottom of the bearing hole, in assembly of the indoor unit. This configuration can reduce a variation in the rotation shaft direction and also reduce a variation in assembly.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which decorativepanel corner parts 8 of theindoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1 are detached. InFIG. 2 , the decorative panel corner parts 8 a and 8 b are provided at two comers. The decorativepanel corner parts 8 are constituted by members different from those of thedecorative panel 3. To install the decorativepanel corner parts 8, theairflow direction louver 4 is attached to thedecorative panel 3, and then the decorativepanel corner parts 8 are fitted into thedecorative panel 3. -
FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective views illustrating a state in which the decorativepanel corner parts 8 of theindoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1 have been removed.FIG. 3A illustrates an internal configuration of a corner of theindoor unit 1 in which the decorativepanel corner part 8 has been removed so that the inside of the unit is exposed.FIG. 3B is an enlarged view ofFIG. 3A . A vane drive motor part 9 is a driving device that rotates theairflow direction louver 4 such that theairflow direction louver 4 is oriented at an instructed angle on the basis of an instruction from a control device (not shown). As illustrated inFIG. 3B , the vane drive motor part 9 is held by a motor-holdingmetal sheet 9 a. Alouver gear 10 is a gear attached to a tip of thevane shaft 4 a of theairflow direction louver 4. Thelouver gear 10 is engaged with apinion gear 12 attached to the vane drive motor part 9, and rotates in accordance with driving (rotation) of the vane drive motor part 9 so as to transmit a force to thevane shaft 4 a so that theairflow direction louver 4 rotates. Abearing 11 is a member having a through hole for supporting thevane shaft 4 a placed in the through hole and attached to thedecorative panel 3. Thepinion gear 12 is attached to the vane drive motor part 9, and is engaged with thelouver gear 10 attached to theairflow direction louver 4 so as to transmit a driving force (rotation) from the vane drive motor part 9 to theairflow direction louver 4. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a configuration of an end portion of theairflow direction louver 4 of theindoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1. As described above, theairflow direction louver 4 receives, at an end, a force from the vane drive motor part 9, and thus, thelouver gear 10 is attached to this end. Theairflow direction louver 4 ofEmbodiment 1 has elasticity at the tip of thevane shaft 4 a, and includes avane nail part 4 b having a nail slightly radially projecting from thevane shaft 4 a. Here, the nail may be replaced by any projection as long as the projection has elasticity and can serve as at least an insertion indicator that can be seen by an operator. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a configuration of thelouver gear 10 of theindoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1. Thelouver gear 10 has a bearing hole 10 b into which thevane shaft 4 a is inserted. Thelouver gear 10 includes agear portion 10 c that is engaged with thepinion gear 12. Thelouver gear 10 ofEmbodiment 1 also has afitting hole 10 a in which especially the nail of thevane nail part 4 b of theairflow direction louver 4 is fitted. -
FIGS. 6A and 6B illustrate attachment of theairflow direction louver 4 of thelouver gear 10 in theindoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1.FIG. 6A illustrates attachment members.FIG. 6B illustrates a state after attachment. InEmbodiment 1, when installing theindoor unit 1, for example, thebearing 11 is inserted into thevane shaft 4 a, and then thelouver gear 10 is attached. - When inserting the
bearing 11 into thevane shaft 4 a, thebearing 11 is inserted from the side opposite to the side of thevane shaft 4 a at which thevane shaft 4 a is attached to theairflow direction louver 4, as illustrated inFIG. 6A . In this manner, thebearing 11 is configured to be attached or detached only to or from the side different from the attachment side as illustrated inFIG. 6A , for example. Thus, in theairflow direction louver 4, for example, even when the rotation shaft at the other side is detached in such a manner that theairflow direction louver 4 is about to fall, theairflow direction louver 4 is not detached from thebearing 11, thereby preventing theairflow direction louver 4 from falling completely. - Then, the
airflow direction louver 4 is inserted at the bottom of thelouver gear 10. When theairflow direction louver 4 reaches the bottom, the shape of the nail of the elasticvane nail part 4 b recovers due to elasticity, and thereby, the nail of the elasticvane nail part 4 b is fitted into thefitting hole 10 a. Thus, an operator can easily see whether theairflow direction louver 4 reaches the bottom or not. Fitting of the nail in thefitting hole 10 a can prevent thelouver gear 10 from being detached from the airflow direction louver 4 (thevane shaft 4 a). On the other hand, if thevane shaft 4 a does not reach the bottom, the nail is not fitted in thefitting hole 10 a. This configuration ensures that insertion of thevane shaft 4 a at the bottom can be visually recognized, for example. -
FIG. 7 is a sectional view illustrating a state in which theairflow direction louver 4 of theindoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1 is installed. As illustrated inFIG. 7 , thebearing 11 is attached to thedecorative panel 3, and thelouver gear 10 is attached and fixed to the motor-holdingmetal sheet 9 a. Then, attachment of theairflow direction louver 4 is completed. - As described above, in the
indoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1, theairflow direction louver 4 has thevane nail part 4 b and thelouver gear 10 has thefitting hole 10 a. In assembling theindoor unit 1, the nail of thevane nail part 4 b is fitted in thefitting hole 10 a in order to attach thelouver gear 10 to theairflow direction louver 4. Thus, an operator of, for example, assembling can at least visually (confirm with eyes) that theairflow direction louver 4 is inserted at the bottom of the bearing hole 10 b of thelouver gear 10. This configuration can reduce a variation in assembling caused by a failure in inserting theairflow direction louver 4 at the bottom. In this process, thevane nail part 4 b in theairflow direction louver 4 and thefitting hole 10 a in thelouver gear 10 can reduce the variation in assembly without an increase in the number of components. In addition, since the nail of thevane nail part 4 b is fitted in thefitting hole 10 a, detachment of thelouver gear 10 from theairflow direction louver 4 can be prevented. - In the
indoor unit 1 ofEmbodiment 1, insertion and detachment of thevane shaft 4 a into or from the bearing 11 are performed only at the side different from the attachment side. Thus, it is possible to prevent detachment and falling off of theairflow direction louver 4 from thebearing 11. - Although not specifically described in
Embodiment 1, the color of at least the nail of thevane nail part 4 b may be different from that of a peripheral portion of thefitting hole 10 a by, for example, forming theairflow direction louver 4 and thelouver gear 10 in different colors. Then, it becomes easier to determine visually, for example, whether the nail is fitted in thefitting hole 10 a and theairflow direction louver 4 is inserted at the bottom of the bearing hole 10 b of thelouver gear 10. - In
Embodiments 1 and 2, the nail of thevane nail part 4 b of theairflow direction louver 4 is fitted in thefitting hole 10 a of thelouver gear 10. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and it is sufficient to confirm at least visually that theairflow direction louver 4 is inserted at the bottom of the bearing hole 10 b of thelouver gear 10. For example, theairflow direction louver 4 is provided with an insertion indicator such as color and/or shape, instead of using thevane nail part 4 b. In this case, thefitting hole 10 a may be used as a confirmation hole so that the insertion indicator can be seen through the confirmation hole when theairflow direction louver 4 is inserted at the bottom. -
FIG. 8 illustrates an example configuration of an air-conditioning apparatus according toEmbodiment 4. InFIG. 8 , the air-conditioning apparatus is an example of a refrigeration cycle system. InFIG. 8 , components already described in, for example,FIG. 1 operate in the same manner as those inFIG. 1 . In the air-conditioning apparatus illustrated inFIG. 8 , anoutdoor unit 200 and the indoor unit 100 described in Embodiments 1-3 are connected by pipes of a gas refrigerant pipe 300 and a liquidrefrigerant pipe 400. Theoutdoor unit 200 includes acompressor 210, a four-way valve 220, an outdoor heat exchanger 230, and anexpansion valve 240. - The
compressor 210 compresses sucked refrigerant and discharges the compressed refrigerant. Although not specifically limited, thecompressor 210 may change the capacity (i.e., the amount of refrigerant that is fed in a unit time) of thecompressor 210 by changing the operating frequency with, for example, an inverter circuit. The four-way valve 220 is, for example, a valve for switching a refrigerant flow between a cooling operation and a heating operation. - The outdoor heat exchanger 230 of
Embodiment 4 performs heat exchange between refrigerant and air (outdoor air). For example, the outdoor heat exchanger 230 serves as an evaporator in a heating operation, and causes refrigerant to evaporate and vaporize. The outdoor heat exchanger 230 serves as a condenser in a cooling operation, and condenses and liquefies refrigerant. - The
expansion valve 240 such as a reducing device (a flow rate controlling means) reduces the pressure of refrigerant and causes the refrigerant to expand. For example, in a case where theexpansion valve 240 is an electronic expansion valve, for example, theexpansion valve 240 adjusts the opening degree on the basis of an instruction from, for example, a control device (not shown). An indoor heat exchanger 110 performs exchange heat between air to be conditioned and refrigerant, for example. The indoor heat exchanger 110 serves as a condenser in a heating operation, and condenses and liquefies refrigerant. The indoor heat exchanger 110 serves as an evaporator in a cooling operation, and causes refrigerant to evaporate and vaporize. - First, a cooling operation of the refrigeration cycle system will be described with reference to a flow of refrigerant. In the cooling operation, the four-
way valve 220 is switched such that a connection relationship indicated by the continuous lines is established. High-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant compressed by thecompressor 210 and discharged from thecompressor 210 passes through the four-way valve 220 and flows into the outdoor heat exchanger 230. Then, the refrigerant passes through the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and exchanges heat with outdoor air so as to be condensed and liquefied, and the resulting refrigerant (liquid refrigerant) flows into theexpansion valve 240. The refrigerant that has been subjected to pressure reduction in theexpansion valve 240 and is in a two-phase gas-liquid state, flows out from theoutdoor unit 200. - The two-phase gas-liquid refrigerant that has flown from the
outdoor unit 200 passes through the liquidrefrigerant pipe 400 and flows into theindoor unit 1. The refrigerant is distributed by a distributor and a capillary tube (not shown) for controlling the flow rate, and flows into the indoor heat exchanger 110. As described above, the refrigerant (gas refrigerant) that has passed through the indoor heat exchanger 110 so as to evaporate and become a gas state through heat exchange with air, flows out from theindoor unit 1. - The gas refrigerant that has flown from the
indoor unit 1 flows into theoutdoor unit 200 through the gas refrigerant pipe 300. The refrigerant passes through the four-way valve 220 and is sucked in thecompressor 210 again. In the manner described above, refrigerant of the air-conditioning apparatus circulates, and air-conditioning (cooling) is performed. - Next, a heating operation will be described with reference to a flow of refrigerant. In the heating operation, the four-
way valve 220 is switched such that a connection relationship indicated by the dotted lines is established. High-temperature high-pressure gas refrigerant compressed by thecompressor 210 and discharged from thecompressor 210 passes through the four-way valve 220 and flows out of theoutdoor unit 200. The gas refrigerant that has flown out of theoutdoor unit 200 flows into theindoor unit 1 through the gas refrigerant pipe 300. - The refrigerant that has passed through the indoor heat exchanger 110 and has been condensed and liquefied through heat exchange with air to be conditioned, for example, passes through a capillary tube (now shown) for controlling the flow rate, and flows out of the
indoor unit 1. - The refrigerant that has flown out of the
indoor unit 1 flows into theoutdoor unit 200 through the liquidrefrigerant pipe 400. The refrigerant that has been subjected to pressure reduction in theexpansion valve 240 and is in a two-phase gas-liquid state, flows in the outdoor heat exchanger 230. Then, the refrigerant (gas refrigerant) that has passed through the outdoor heat exchanger 230, has evaporated and become a gas state through heat exchange with outdoor air, passes through the four-way valve 220 and is sucked in thecompressor 210 again. In the manner described above, refrigerant circulates in the air-conditioning apparatus, and air-conditioning (heating) is performed. - In Embodiments 1-4, the
indoor unit 1 is an indoor unit of a four-way cassette type in which theairflow direction louvers 4 are provided at the fourair outlets 3 b so that air blows in four ways. However, the present invention is not limited to this type. The present invention is also applicable to an indoor unit of another ceiling embedded type for from which air blows in two or three ways. The present invention is not limited to the indoor unit of the ceiling embedded type, and is also applicable to an indoor unit of another type. The number ofair outlets 3 b and the number ofairflow direction louvers 4 are not specifically limited. - In Embodiments 1-4, the air-conditioning apparatus has been described as an example of a refrigeration cycle system. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the present invention is also applicable to other refrigeration cycle systems such as cooling systems, refrigeration systems, and other refrigeration cycle systems. The present invention is also applicable to fans and ventilation devices as well as refrigeration cycle systems.
