Abstract (en)

Provided is an air conditioner including: a case (4) having an air passage (3) that communicates with an inlet (1) and an outlet (2) therein; a fan (5) that is disposed within the air passage (3) and generates an airflow; a slide motion rotating shaft (9) that is rotatably disposed in the outlet (2) and extends toward a side surface that bounds the outlet (2); a vertical blade (7, 30) that is disposed in the outlet (2), and rotates about the slide motion rotating shaft (9) to deflect a direction of the airflow which is blown out of the outlet (2) in an upward or downward direction; and a vertical blade driving unit (19) that is disposed between the slide motion rotating shaft (9) and the vertical blade (7), changes a relative position between the slide motion rotating shaft (9) and the vertical blade (7), and rotates the vertical blade (7) about the slide motion rotating shaft. Accordingly, for example, a part of the airflow can be prevented from flowing in an upward direction without being deflected in a downward direction when the vertical blade (7) is tilted toward the downward direction to deflect the direction of the airflow and the airflow passes through the vertical blade (7), thereby improving the controllability of the airflow.
