(First embodiment, first example)
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an example of the appearance of the dehumidifier 100 of the first example as the blower of the present embodiment. In the following embodiments, a dehumidifier will be described as an example of a blower. However, the blower is not limited to a dehumidifier, and an air conditioner such as an air purifier or an air conditioner or other air is blown out from a blower outlet. This includes a device that blows air.

As shown in FIG. 1, the dehumidifier 100 can be installed on the floor of a room, and the dehumidifier main body 70 forms a box. A top plate 71 is provided on the upper surface of the dehumidifier body 70. On the front side of the top plate 71 (the front side and the front side of the dehumidifier 100), a substantially rectangular air outlet 30 is provided that is surrounded by

edges

41, 42, 43, and 44. Further, in the vicinity of the air outlet 30, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 function as wind direction adjusting plates that rotate around an axis substantially parallel to the air outlet surface of the air outlet 30 and adjust the air direction from the air outlet 30. Is provided. The front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are collectively referred to as louvers. Further, an operation panel for operating the rotation of the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 is provided on the rear side of the top plate 71 (the rear side and the rear side of the dehumidifier 100).

FIG. 2 is a side view showing an example of the internal structure of the dehumidifier 100 of the first embodiment. In FIG. 2, the left side of the paper surface is the front side (front side) of the dehumidifier 100, and the right side of the paper surface is the rear side (back side) of the dehumidifier 100. As shown in FIG. 2, inside the dehumidifier body 70, a compressor (compressor) 54 is provided at the bottom front side, and a drain tank 58 is provided at the bottom rear side. Above the drain tank 58, an evaporator (evaporator) 56 and a condenser (condenser) 57 are arranged. An intake port 53 is provided on the back surface of the dehumidifier body 70, and a filter 55 is disposed inside the intake port 53.

The air flow path communicating with the air outlet 30 is provided with a blower fan 51 that blows air sucked from the air inlet 53 toward the air outlet 30. A fan motor 52 is provided for rotation. By rotating the blower fan 51, air can be blown upward toward the blower outlet 30.

In the vicinity of the outlet 30, the front louver 10 that rotates about the axis 11 that is substantially parallel to the outlet surface 33 of the outlet 30, and the rear louver 10 that rotates about the axis 21 that is substantially parallel to the outlet surface 33. A louver 20 is arranged. That is, the shaft 11 is provided in the middle of the front louver 10, and the shaft 21 is provided in the middle of the rear louver 20. The front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 can be rotated by a louver drive motor 50. The lower end of the front louver 10 is provided at a position higher than the upper end of the edge portion 41.

The front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are substantially parallel to the blowing surface 33. In addition, when the

edge parts

43 and 44 of the blower outlet 30 are curving, the blowing surface 33 can be made into the same plane as the top plate 71, or a horizontal surface.

The state where the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are substantially parallel to the blowing surface 33 is referred to as a closed state. As shown in FIG. 2, when the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are in a closed state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are respectively opposed to the

edge portions

41 and 42 facing each other with the

shafts

11 and 21 of the air outlet 30 therebetween.

Clearances

31 and 32 are provided between them. That is, in the closed state of the blower outlet 30, there is a gap between the blower outlet 30 and a part of the side edge between the

shafts

11 and 21 of the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 and the other part corresponding to the part. 31 and 32 are provided. Here, “between the shafts” means that when the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 rotate around the

shafts

11, 21, the degree of opening of the

gaps

31, 32 around the

shafts

11, 21 is set. It means to change. In the example of FIG. 2, the

shafts

11 and 21 perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. 2 are positioned between the

gaps

31 and 32. That is,

gaps

31 and 32 are provided on the left and right of the

shafts

11 and 21 perpendicular to the paper surface of FIG. The “other part corresponding to a part” means, for example, a part that is substantially line symmetric with respect to the

axes

11 and 21. That is, a part of the side edge and the other part of the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are substantially line symmetrical about the

axes

11 and 21. Note that “substantially line symmetric” means, for example, that the shape of the front side edge of the front louver 10 and the shape of the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 are not limited to the same. This means that the other may be curved. Further, there is a gap between the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 in a closed state of the outlet 30 so as not to prevent the rotation of the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20, but almost no air is released from the gap. Will not blow out.

That is, when the front louver 10 is in a closed state, a gap 31 is provided between the front side edge of the front louver 10 and the edge 41 of the outlet 30. Further, when the rear louver 20 is in the closed state, a gap 32 is provided between the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 and the edge portion 42 of the outlet 30.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the first embodiment is closed. As described above, when the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are in the closed state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are substantially parallel to the outlet surface 33 of the outlet 30. Further, there is a gap 31 between the front side edge of the front louver 10 and the outlet 30, and there is a gap 32 between the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 and the outlet 30. That is, when the blower outlet 30 is provided on the upper surface of the dehumidifier 100, one gap 31 is located on the front side (front side) of the dehumidifier 100, and the other gap 32 is located on the rear side of the dehumidifier 100 ( Located on the back side.

Therefore, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 3, when the louver is in the closed state, air can be blown out to the front surface of the dehumidifier 100, and can also be blown out to the rear side of the dehumidifier 100. The range can be expanded.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing an example of the internal structure when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the first embodiment is open. The internal structure is the same as that in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, when the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 are in an open state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 make a required inclination with respect to the blowing surface 33.

The front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 can be rotated between a required maximum inclination angle (for example, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, etc.) with respect to the blowing surface 33, for example, from approximately 0 degrees.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the first embodiment is open. As shown in FIG. 5, when the louver is in the open state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 make a required inclination with respect to the blowout surface 33. When 30 is provided, the air can be blown obliquely upward. Further, the air from the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 can be blown obliquely rearward and upward. Moreover, by rotating the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 between the open state and the closed state, the wind can be efficiently sent out to the entire room.

(Second embodiment)
FIG. 6 is a side view showing an example of a main part configuration of the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, a rib 12 as a guide portion is provided on the front side edge 111 of the front louver 10 among the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20. That is, the rib 12 is provided on the front louver 10 side edge 111 on the edge 41 side of one (front side) of the facing edges 41 and 42 of the air outlet 30. The rib 12 is erected obliquely downward along the front side edge 111 of the front louver 10. Thereby, the rib 12 can guide the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10. It should be noted that guiding the wind direction downward is not limited to the downward direction, but includes a case where the wind direction is guided obliquely downward.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the second embodiment is closed, and FIG. 8 is the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the second embodiment is open. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example. As shown by the arrows in FIG. 7, when the louver is in a closed state, the air blown from the blower outlet 30 is changed in wind direction by the front louver 10 so as to be substantially parallel to the blowout surface 33, and further, ribs as guide portions Since the wind direction is changed downward with respect to the front louver 10 by 12, the air blown from the gap 31 on the front surface of the dehumidifier 100 can be blown obliquely downward. As a result, the air can be blown toward the floor on which the dehumidifier 100 is placed, and the floor (eg, carpet, rug, etc.) can be dehumidified. Note that the guidance of the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10 means that air blown from the outlet 30 when the dehumidifier 100 is installed on the floor or the like as illustrated in FIG. In this case, it is guided below the front louver 10 (that is, toward the floor).

In addition, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 8, when the louver is in the open state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 make a required inclination with respect to the blowout surface 33, so the air outlet 30 is provided on the upper surface of the dehumidifier 100. In some cases, the air can be blown obliquely upward. Further, the air from the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 can be blown obliquely rearward and upward.

(Third embodiment)
FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B are side views showing an example of a main part configuration of the front louver 10 of the dehumidifier 100 of the third embodiment. FIG. 9A shows a structure when the front louver 10 is in an open state, and FIG. 9B shows a structure when the front louver 10 is in a closed state. As shown in FIG. 9, ribs 12 are provided upright with respect to the front louver 10 along the front side edge 111 of the front louver 10. The rib 12 can have an appropriate shape as long as it can guide the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10. The front louver 10 has a concave portion on one surface (lower surface side), and a housing portion 101 that houses the wind direction plate 13 as a guide portion. A lower plate 105 having an opening through which a part of the wind direction plate 13 enters and exits is attached to the lower surface side of the front louver 10.

The wind direction plate 13 is L-shaped in a side view, and includes a support plate 132 and a projecting plate 131 extending substantially vertically from one end of the support plate 132. A spring 14 as a drive unit is attached to the housing 101 of the front louver 10 at the center of the support plate 132. The spring 14 biases the support plate 132 so that the entire protruding plate 131 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 101.

The lower plate 105 is formed with an insertion hole 16 which is substantially columnar and through which a pin 15 as a drive unit is slidably inserted. The pin 15 is in contact with the end of the support plate 132.

As shown in FIG. 9A, when the front louver 10 is in an open state, the end of the support plate 132 pushes down one end (upper end) of the pin 15 by the urging force of the spring 14, and the pin 15 is below the lower plate 105. Protruding. Further, the protruding plate 131 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 101. In the state shown in FIG. 9A, the pin 15 is prevented from being removed from the insertion hole 16.

As shown in FIG. 9B, when the front louver 10 is in a closed state, the other end (lower end) of the pin 15 is regulated by a regulating piece 45 described later, and the pin 15 is lifted upward. Accordingly, the end portion of the support plate 132 is also lifted upward by the pins 15, and the protruding plate 131 protrudes from the lower plate 105. That is, the wind direction plate 13 as a guide part protrudes downward from the front louver 10.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the third embodiment is closed, and FIG. 11 is the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the third embodiment is open. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example. In the example of FIG. 10, the pin 15 is regulated by the regulating piece 45 and lifted upward. In addition, the regulation piece 45 is provided in two places in the required position of the

edge parts

43 and 44 vicinity, for example. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 11, the pin 15 is separated from the restricting piece 45, and the pin 15 further protrudes downward.

As shown by the arrows in FIG. 10, when the louver is in the closed state, the air blown from the blower outlet 30 has its wind direction changed substantially parallel to the blowout surface 33 by the front louver 10, and further the wind direction as the guide unit. Since the wind direction is changed downward with respect to the front louver 10 by the plate 13 (projection plate 131), the air blown out from the gap 31 on the front surface of the dehumidifier 100 can be blown obliquely downward. As a result, the air can be blown toward the floor on which the dehumidifier 100 is placed, and the floor (eg, carpet, rug, etc.) can be dehumidified.

In addition, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 11, when the louver is in the open state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 make a required inclination with respect to the blowout surface 33, so the blower outlet 30 is provided on the upper surface of the dehumidifier 100. In some cases, the air can be blown obliquely upward. Further, the air from the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 can be blown obliquely rearward and upward.

As described above, in the third embodiment, the front louver 10 includes the accommodating portion 101 that accommodates the wind direction plate 13. The spring 14 and the pin 15 respond to the rotation of the front louver 10 so that the wind direction plate 13 protrudes from the front louver 10 in the closed state, and the wind direction plate 13 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 101 in the open state. To drive.

That is, in the closed state where the front louver 10 is substantially parallel to the blowing surface 33, the wind direction plate 13 protrudes from the front louver 10 and guides the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10. The air blown out from the gap 31 can be blown obliquely downward. On the other hand, in the open state where the front louver 10 is inclined with respect to the blowing surface 33, the wind direction plate 13 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 101, so that the air blown out from the outlet 30 is converted into the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20. It is possible to smoothly blow out obliquely upward according to the inclination angle of. That is, when the air is blown obliquely upward, the air flow is not disturbed by the wind direction plate 13.

(Fourth embodiment)
12A and 12B are side views showing an example of the configuration of the main part of the front louver 10 of the dehumidifier 100 of the fourth embodiment. FIG. 12A shows a structure when the front louver 10 is in an open state, and FIG. 12B shows a structure when the front louver 10 is in a closed state. As shown in FIG. 12, ribs 12 are provided upright with respect to the front louver 10 along the front side edge 111 of the front louver 10. The rib 12 can have an appropriate shape as long as it can guide the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10. The front louver 10 has a concave portion on one surface (lower surface side), and is formed with an accommodating portion 101 that accommodates a shielding plate 17 as a shielding portion. A lower plate 105 having an opening through which the shielding plate 17 enters and exits is attached to the lower surface side of the front louver 10.

In the central part of the shielding plate 17, a pressing part 18 as a driving part is provided. In the example of FIG. 12, the pressing portion 18 is hemispherical, but the shape of the pressing portion 18 may be any shape as long as it can be pressed by the restriction piece 45. A spring 19 as a drive unit is attached to the housing unit 101 of the front louver 10 at the end of the shielding plate 17. The spring 19 urges the shielding plate 17 so that the shielding plate 17 and the lower plate 105 are substantially flush with each other.

As shown in FIG. 12A, when the front louver 10 is in the open state, the shielding plate 17 hides (shields) the ribs 12 by the urging force of the spring 19, and the shielding plate 17 and the lower plate 105 are substantially the same. It becomes flat.

As shown in FIG. 12B, when the front louver 10 is in the closed state, the pressing portion 18 is regulated by the regulating piece 45 and the pushing portion 18 is lifted upward. Accordingly, the shielding plate 17 is also lifted upward with the end portion as a fulcrum. Thereby, the rib 12 comes to be exposed.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the fourth embodiment is closed, and FIG. 14 shows the wind direction when the louver of the dehumidifier 100 of the fourth embodiment is open. It is a schematic diagram which shows an example. In the example of FIG. 13, the pressing portion 18 is regulated by the regulating piece 45 and lifted upward. Thereby, the rib 12 is exposed. In addition, the regulation piece 45 is provided in two places in the required position of the

edge parts

43 and 44 vicinity, for example. On the other hand, in the example of FIG. 14, the pressing portion 18 is separated from the regulating piece 45, and the shielding plate 17 covers the rib 12.

As shown by the arrows in FIG. 13, when the louver is in the closed state, the air blown from the blower outlet 30 has its wind direction changed substantially parallel to the blowout surface 33 by the front louver 10, and ribs serving as guide portions Since the wind direction is changed downward with respect to the front louver 10 by 12, the air blown from the gap 31 on the front surface of the dehumidifier 100 can be blown obliquely downward. As a result, the air can be blown toward the floor on which the dehumidifier 100 is placed, and the floor (eg, carpet, rug, etc.) can be dehumidified.

In addition, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 14, when the louver is in the open state, the front louver 10 and the rear louver 20 make a required inclination with respect to the blowout surface 33, so the air outlet 30 is provided on the upper surface of the dehumidifier 100. In some cases, the air can be blown obliquely upward. Further, the air from the rear side edge of the rear louver 20 can be blown obliquely rearward and upward.

As described above, in the fourth embodiment, the guide portion is the rib 12 provided on the side edge 111 of the front louver 10. The shielding plate 17 exposes the rib 12 when the louver is closed, and shields the rib 12 when the louver is open. The pressing portion 18 and the spring 19 drive the shielding plate 17 in response to the rotation of the front louver 10.

That is, in the closed state in which the front louver 10 is substantially parallel to the blow-out surface 33, the rib 12 as the guide portion is exposed, and the rib 12 guides the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10, so that the dehumidifier 100 The air blown out from the front gap 31 can be blown obliquely downward. On the other hand, in the open state in which the front louver 10 is inclined with respect to the blowing surface 33, the rib 12 is shielded by the shielding plate 17, so that the air blown out from the blower outlet 30 is in accordance with the inclination angle of the front louver 10. It can be smoothly blown obliquely upward. That is, when air is blown obliquely upward, the air flow is not disturbed by the guide portion.

Further, in the third and fourth embodiments, the wind direction plate 13 or the rib 12 is adapted to guide the wind direction in the closed state in response to the rotation of the front louver 10, and guides the wind direction in the open state. I'm not going to do that. That is, in the closed state where the front louver 10 is substantially parallel to the blowing surface 33, the wind direction plate 13 or the rib 12 guides the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10, and therefore from the gap 31 on the front surface of the dehumidifier 100. The blown air can be blown obliquely downward. On the other hand, in the open state where the front louver 10 is inclined with respect to the blowing surface 33, the wind direction plate 13 or the rib 12 does not guide the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10, so the air blown out from the blowout port 30 It is possible to smoothly blow out obliquely upward according to the inclination angle of the front louver 10. That is, when air is blown obliquely upward, the air flow is not disturbed by the wind direction plate 13 or the rib 12.

(5th Example)
FIG. 15 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the main part of the front louver 10 of the dehumidifier 100 of the fifth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15, the lower plate 105 of the front louver 10 has a curved surface 102 on the side edge 111 side. When the thickness on the side edge 111 side of the front louver 10 is d1, and the thickness on the opposite side is d2, d1> d2.

In the fifth embodiment, when the front louver 10 is in a closed state in which the front louver 10 is substantially parallel to the blowing surface 33, the curved surface 102 as a guide portion guides the wind direction downward with respect to the front louver 10. The air blown out from the gap 31 can be blown obliquely downward.

(2nd Embodiment, 6th Example)
