TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a blow-out panel and an air conditioning indoor
unit including the blow-out panel.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Conventionally, there has been an air conditioning indoor unit having an indoor unit
body and a blow-out panel. In the indoor unit body, an axial fan in which an axis
vertically extends is provided. The blow-out panel is provided in a lower part of
the indoor unit body and has a blow-out port. An air guide fin is provided in the
blow-out port.
[0003] In the above air conditioning indoor unit, in order to increase a blow-out area of
the blow-out port, and in consideration of layout convenience, it is conceivable to
adopt the blow-out panel having a rectangular outer frame, a rectangular inner frame,
and a rectangular blow-out port formed by being surrounded by the outer frame and
the inner frame.
[0004] However, in the above case, an airflow generated by the axial fan is less likely
to travel to a corner of the blow-out port, and thus the air is likely to be blown
out of the blow-out port ununiformly.
[0005] Further, there is a conventional air treatment device in which a blower tube is connected
to a rectangular blow-out panel, and a spiral airflow sent from a blower unit of the
air treatment device is sent to a blow-out panel via the blower tube. Even in such
a case, the spiral airflow is less likely to travel to the corner of the blow-out
panel, and thus the air is likely to be blown out of the blow-out port ununiformly.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0006] In view of the above problems, an object is to provide a blow-out panel and an air
conditioning indoor unit that includes the blow-out panel that can blow out air 360°
all around and blow out air from a blow-out port uniformly.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, a blow-out panel has an outer frame,
an inner frame, and a connecting rod. A polygonal blow-out port is formed by being
surrounded by the outer frame and the inner frame. A connecting rod is provided at
a corner of the blow-out port. The connecting rod connects the outer frame and the
inner frame. The connecting rod has a connecting rod body and a connecting portion.
The connecting portion is closer to a center of the blow-out panel than the connecting
rod body, and connects the connecting rod body to the inner frame. The connecting
portion and the connecting rod body each have a first surface and a second surface.
As viewed from an inner surface side to an outer surface side of the blow-out panel,
the first surface is disposed downstream of the second surface in a clockwise direction
around the center of the blow-out panel. The second surface of the connecting portion
and the second surface of the connecting rod body are combined to form an inwardly
concave shape.
[0008] Here, a so-called "outer surface of the blow-out panel" is a surface that faces a
user when the blow-out panel is installed in a room or the like, and an "inner surface
of the blow-out panel" is a surface opposite to the "outer surface of the blow-out
panel".
[0009] The blow-out panel having the above-described structure utilizes the polygonal blow-out
port formed by being surrounded by the outer frame and the inner frame. As a result,
the blow-out panel which is used, for example, in an air conditioning indoor unit
including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan can blow out the air all
around 360°. Further, the blow-out panel has a connecting rod provided at a corner
of the blow-out port. The second surface of the connecting portion of the connecting
rod and the second surface of the connecting rod body are combined to form an inwardly
concave shape as viewed from the inner surface side to the outer surface side of the
blow-out panel. Thus, when the blow-out panel is used, for example, in an air conditioning
indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan, the second surface
of the connecting portion of the connecting rod is used to easily guide an airflow
generated by the axial fan or the like to the corner of the blow-out port via the
second surface of the connecting rod body. This allows the air to be blown out of
the blow-out port uniformly.
[0010] An alternative configuration is as follows. As viewed from an inner surface side
to an outer surface side of the blow-out panel, the first surface is disposed downstream
of the second surface in a counterclockwise direction around the center of the blow-out
panel. The second surface of the connecting portion and the second surface of the
connecting rod body are combined to form an inwardly concave shape. For example, when
the blow-out panel is used, for example, in an air conditioning indoor unit including
an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan, a spiral airflow generated by the
axial fan flows counterclockwise around the center of the blow-out panel as viewed
from the inner surface side to the outer surface side of the blow-out panel. The second
surface of the connecting portion of the connecting rod and the second surface of
the connecting rod body are combined to form an inwardly concave shape. Thus, when
the blow-out panel is used, for example, in an air conditioning indoor unit including
an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan, the second surface of the connecting
portion of the connecting rod is used to easily guide the airflow generated by the
axial fan or the like to the corner of the blow-out port via the second surface of
the connecting rod body. This allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out port
uniformly.
[0011] On the blow-out panel, the second surface of the connecting portion and the second
surface of the connecting rod body preferably form an obtuse angle.
[0012] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
a loss of airflow caused by a change of direction is reduced. The airflow generated
by the axial fan or the like can be therefore guided to the corner of the blow-out
port by the second surface of the connecting portion of the connecting rod. Further,
this can reduce the interference of the connecting portion of the connecting rod and
the connecting rod body with the airflow generated by the axial fan, causes no turbulent
blow at the obtuse angle, and thus allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out
port uniformly.
[0013] The blow-out panel having the above structure can adopt the following structure.
The connecting rod includes a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod provided
on one side of the blow-out port. As viewed from the inner surface side to the outer
surface side of the blow-out panel, the first surface is disposed downstream of the
second surface in the clockwise direction around the center of the blow-out panel.
The second connecting rod is disposed downstream of the first connecting rod in the
clockwise direction. The blow-out panel having the above structure can further adopt
the following structure. On the first connecting rod, the angle formed between the
second surface of the connecting portion and the second surface of the connecting
rod body is 166° or more and 174° or less. And/or on the second connecting rod, the
angle formed between the second surface of the connecting portion and the second surface
of the connecting rod body is 164° or more and 176° or less. In such a situation,
the following structure can be further adopted. On the first connecting rod, the angle
formed between the second surface and the first surface of the connecting portion
is more than 0° and less than 10°. And/or on the second connecting rod, the angle
formed between the second surface and the first surface of the connecting portion
is more than 0° and less than 10°.
[0014] Similarly, as viewed from the inner surface side to the outer surface side of the
blow-out panel, when the spiral airflow generated by the axial fan flows counterclockwise
around the center of the blow-out panel, the first surface is disposed downstream
of the second surface in the counterclockwise direction around the center of the blow-out
panel. The second connecting rod is disposed downstream of the first connecting rod
in the counterclockwise direction.
[0015] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
a loss of airflow caused by a change of direction is reduced. The airflow generated
by the axial fan or the like can be therefore guided to the corner of the blow-out
port by the second surface of the connecting portion of the connecting rod. Further,
this can reduce the interference of the connecting portion of the connecting rod and
the connecting rod body with the airflow generated by the axial fan and allows the
air to be blown out of the blow-out port more uniformly. In addition, the air can
be blown out all around 360° of the blow-out panel.
[0016] The blow-out panel having the above structure can further adopt the following structure.
The first connecting rod and the second connecting rod on both sides of one corner
of the blow-out port are formed such that the connecting rod body of the first connecting
rod and the connecting rod body of the second connecting rod are parallel to each
other.
[0017] The blow-out panel having the above structure can simplify the entire structure of
the blow-out panel. Further, when the blow-out panel is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
it is possible to reduce the interference of the connecting rod body of the connecting
rod with the airflow at the corner of the blow-out port, and to allow the air to be
blown out of the blow-out port uniformly.
[0018] On the blow-out panel, the end of the connecting portion away from the connecting
rod body preferably has an arch shape as viewed from the inner surface side to the
outer surface side of the blow-out panel.
[0019] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
the end of the connecting portion of the connecting rod away from the connecting rod
body can reduce the interference of the airflow generated by the axial fan or the
like, and the arch shape of the end is used to guide the airflow generated by the
axial fan or the like to the blow-out port. This allows the air to be blown out of
the blow-out port uniformly.
[0020] On the blow-out panel, a width of the connecting portion is preferably gradually
narrowed toward the connecting rod body as viewed from the inner surface side to the
outer surface side of the blow-out panel.
[0021] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
a strength of the entire connecting rod can be ensured and a volume of the connecting
rod can be reduced. It is therefore possible to reduce the interference of the connecting
portion of the connecting rod with the airflow generated by the axial fan or the like
and to allow the air to be blown out of the blow-out port uniformly.
[0022] On the blow-out panel, the connecting rod is preferably formed to extend from the
center toward the corner of the blow-out port as viewed from the inner surface side
to the outer surface side of the blow-out panel.
[0023] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
the airflow generated by the axial fan or the like can be guided to the corner of
the blow-out port and the airflow also blows out from the corner of the blow-out port.
This allows the air to be blown out all around 360° of the blow-out panel and allows
the air to be blown out of the blow uniformly.
[0024] On the blow-out panel, the width of the connecting portion is preferably equal to
or wider than a width of the connecting rod body as viewed from the inner surface
side to the outer surface side of the blow-out panel.
[0025] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
the strength of the connecting portion is ensured and the interference of the connecting
rod body to the airflow generated by the axial fan or the like. This allows the air
to be blown out of the blow-out port uniformly.
[0026] On the blow-out panel, the blow-out panel preferably further has an air guide fin
provided at the blow-out port. The air guide fin is rotatably arranged on the connecting
rod body.
[0027] The blow-out panel having the above structure can control a direction of the airflow
blown out of the blow-out port by using the air guide fin.
[0028] On the blow-out panel, a rotating shaft of the air guide fin is preferably connected
to the connecting rod body in parallel to the air guide fin.
[0029] The blow-out panel having the above structure enables the air guide fin to be connected
to the connecting rod with a simple structure.
[0030] The blow-out panel having the above structure can adopt the following structure.
A boundary between the connecting portion and the connecting rod body is disposed
between the inner frame and the rotating shaft.
[0031] The blow-out panel having the above structure can simplify the structure of the connecting
rod and avoid interference with the connecting rod when the air guide fin rotates.
[0032] On the blow-out panel, the blow-out panel is preferably further provided with an
intermediate connecting rod. The intermediate connecting rod connects the outer frame
to the inner frame. The intermediate connecting rod is disposed in a middle of the
blow-out port and is perpendicular to the air guide fin as viewed from the inner surface
side to the outer surface side of the blow-out panel. A step motor that drives and
rotates the air guide fin is attached to the intermediate connecting rod.
[0033] The blow-out panel having the above structure can balance a force received by the
air guide fin and simplify a drive structure.
[0034] On the blow-out panel, the inner frame is preferably provided with a central member.
The central member is provided with an air guide piece.
[0035] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
the air guide piece is used to guide the airflow generated by the axial fan or the
like and prevent the airflow from blowing straight downward. This allows the air to
be blow out of the blow-out port more uniformly.
[0036] The blow-out panel can adopt the following structure. An intake end of the air guide
piece is disposed on an extension line of the first surface of the connecting rod
body.
[0037] The blow-out panel having the above structure ensures more airflow flowing to the
corner of the blow-out port and allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out port
uniformly.
[0038] The above blow-out panel can adopt the following structure. At least a part of the
central member projects from the blow-out panel in a thickness direction of the blow-out
panel.
[0039] When the blow-out panel having the above structure is used, for example, in an air
conditioning indoor unit including an indoor unit body provided with an axial fan,
an effect that the air guide piece guides the airflow blown out from the axial fan
or the like can be improved.
[0040] The above blow-out panel can further adopt the following structure. The connecting
rod is disposed at a center of the air guide piece in the thickness direction of the
blow-out panel.
[0041] The blow-out panel having the above structure strengthens an interaction between
the air guide piece and the connecting rod, ensures the airflow flowing to the corner
of the blow-out port, and allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out port uniformly.
[0042] The above blow-out panel can further adopt the following structure. The connecting
portion has a first portion extending in a direction along the connecting rod body
and a second portion connecting the first portion to the inner frame. An end surface
of the second portion away from a central direction of the blow-out panel is a beveled
surface extending toward the corner of the blow-out port.
[0043] The blow-out panel having the above structure further ensures the airflow flowing
to the corner of the blow-out port and allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out
port uniformly.
[0044] In order to solve the above technical problems, an air conditioning indoor unit has
an indoor unit body and the above blow-out panel. The blow-out panel is provided at
a lower part of the indoor unit body, or is connected to the indoor unit body via
a blower tube.
[0045] The air conditioning indoor unit having the above structure can further adopt the
following structure. An axial fan is provided in the indoor unit body. The center
of the axial fan and the center of the blow-out panel overlap as viewed along the
thickness direction of the blow-out panel. The inner frame is provided with the central
member, and the center member is provided with the air guide piece. The airflow blown
out from the axial fan flows to the connecting portion of the connecting rod via the
air guide piece. Specifically, the air guide piece has a first surface and a second
surface. The first surface is disposed downstream of the second surface in the clockwise
direction as viewed from the inner surface side to the outer surface side of the blow-out
panel. The airflow blown out from the axial fan blows to the connecting portion of
the connecting rod via the second surface of the air guide piece.
[0046] Similarly, when the spiral airflow generated by the axial fan flows around the center
of the blow-out panel in the counterclockwise direction, the first surface of the
air guide piece is disposed downstream of the second surface in the counterclockwise
direction.
<Advantageous Effects of Invention>
[0047] With the blow-out panel and the air conditioning indoor unit described above, the
blow-out panel uses the polygonal blow-out port formed by being surrounded by the
outer frame and the inner frame. This allows the air to be blown out all around 360°.
Further, the blow-out panel has a connecting rod provided at the corner of the blow-out
port, and the second surface of the connecting portion of the connecting rod and the
second surface of the connecting rod body are combined to form an inwardly concave
shape as viewed from the inner surface side to the outer surface side of the blow-out
panel. Thus, the second surface of the connecting portion of the connecting rod is
used to easily guide a spiral airflow generated by the axial fan or the like to the
corner of the blow-out port via the second surface of the connecting rod body. This
allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out port uniformly.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT
[0049] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a blow-out panel and an air conditioning indoor unit
will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8 taking the air conditioning indoor
unit having an indoor unit body and a blow-out panel as an example in a state where
the air conditioning indoor unit is actually installed. For convenience of explanation,
three directions orthogonal to one another are X direction, Y direction, and Z direction.
Among them, the X direction and the Y direction correspond to directions of a horizontal
plane when the air conditioning indoor unit is actually installed. The Z direction
corresponds to a vertical direction when the air conditioning indoor unit is actually
installed. Further, Y1 direction side, Y2 direction side, X1 direction side, X2 direction
side, Z1 direction side, and Z2 direction side respectively correspond to a front
side, a rear side, a left side, a right side, a lower side, and an upper side when
the air conditioning indoor unit is actually installed.
[0050] As shown in FIG. 1, an air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment
has an indoor unit body 10 and a blow-out panel 20. An axial fan 30 is provided in
the indoor unit body 10. The blow-out panel 20 is provided at a lower part of the
indoor unit body 10 (on the Z1 direction side).
[0051] Here, the indoor unit body 10 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape
as a whole, and has a top surface, a bottom surface, and four side surfaces. An intake
ports JF are provided on all the side surfaces, and filter units 40 are provided on
all the intake ports JF. As shown in FIG. 1, a heat exchanger 50 is further provided
in the indoor unit body 10. The heat exchanger 50 is provided at an inner side of
the intake ports JF and is surrounded by the filter units 40. An axial fan 30 is provided
at an inner side of the heat exchanger 50. The axial fan 30 is provided such that
an rotational axis overlaps with a center axis L of the blow-out panel 20 (axis that
passes through a center of the blow-out panel 20 and extends in a thickness direction
of the blow-out panel 20). As shown in FIG. 2, at this time, a spiral airflow generated
by the axial fan flows clockwise around the center of the blow-out panel.
[0052] Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the blow-out panel 20 has an outer frame 21,
an inner frame 22, and a connecting rod 24. A polygonal blow-out port CF is formed
by being surrounded by the outer frame 21 and the inner frame 22. The connecting rod
24 is provided at a corner of the blow-out panel 20 and connects the outer frame 21
and the inner frame 22. This eliminates the need for adding further connecting members,
and reduces interference of the other connecting members with the airflow from the
blow-out port. Thus, the structure is simple, and furthermore, the blow-out area can
be increased.
[0053] Here, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, as viewed from an inner surface side to an outer
surface side of the blow-out panel 20, specifically, as viewed from a side of the
blow-out panel 20 closer to the indoor unit body 10 (Z2 direction side) toward a side
away from the indoor unit body 10 (Z1 direction side), the connecting rod 24 has a
first surface (downstream in a clockwise direction in FIG. 2) and a second surface
(upstream in the clockwise direction in FIG. 2). The airflow generated by the axial
fan or the like flows to the second surface and the first surface in that order. In
other words, the second surface is an air receiving surface, and the first surface
is a surface opposite to the air receiving surface (rear surface).
[0054] Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the blow-out panel 20 has a substantially rectangular shape
and has the rectangular outer frame 21 and the rectangular inner frame 22. The rectangular
blow-out port CF is formed by being surrounded by the outer frame 21 and the inner
frame 22. A set of air guide fins 23 is provided on each side of the blow-out port
CF (each side configures a small blow-out port). As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each set
of air guide fins 23 is configured by three parallel air guide fins. Further, each
of the three parallel air guide fins are provided such that a length thereof gradually
increases along a direction from the inner frame 22 to the outer frame 21 of the blow-out
panel 20. When the air guide fins 23 are rotated to open the blow-out port CF, the
airflows at both ends of the air guide fins 23 do not blow out in parallel, but gradually
spread downward along the ends of the plurality of air guide fins 23. Thus, the airflow
having a relatively low flow velocity at both ends of the air guide fins 23 is not
attracted to a ceiling. This prevents contaminants such as dust included in the airflow
from adhering to the ceiling. Further, as a whole, most of the airflow is still guided
to the air guide fins 23, and a uniform distribution of the airflow can be maintained
unchanged.
[0055] As shown in FIG. 2, the connecting rod 24 is formed to extend from the center of
the blow-out panel 20 toward the corner of the blow-out port CF as viewed along the
Z direction.
[0056] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the connecting rod 24 includes a first connecting rod
24A and a second connecting rod 24B provided on one side of the blow-out port. As
viewed along the Z direction, the second connecting rod 24B is disposed downstream
of the first connecting rod 24A in the clockwise direction. Thus, the airflow generated
by the axial fan or the like can be guided to the two corners of the blow-out port
CF by using the first connecting rod 24A and the second connecting rod 24B. As a result,
both of the airflows at the two corners of the blow-out port CF can be uniformly distributed.
[0057] Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the first connecting rod 24A has a connecting
rod body 241A and a connecting portion 242A. The air guide fins 23 are rotatably arranged
on the connecting rod body 241A. The connecting portion 242A is closer to the center
of the blow-out panel 20 than the connecting rod body 241A, and connects the connecting
rod body 241A to the inner frame 22. Further, as viewed along the Z direction, a second
surface 2421A of the connecting portion 242A and a second surface 2411A of the connecting
rod body 241A are combined to form an inwardly concave shape. Here, as shown in FIGS.
4 and 5, the connecting portion 242A has a first portion 2423A extending substantially
along a direction in which the connecting rod body 241A extends and a second portion
2424A connecting the first portion 2423A to the inner frame 22. Both the first portion
2423A and the second portion 2424A have an air guide surface that serves to guide
the airflow. Specifically, both end surfaces of the first portion 2423A and the second
portion 2424A near the center of the blow-out panel are arch-shaped air guide surfaces.
The end surface of the second portion 2424A away from the center of the blow-out panel
is a beveled surface extending toward the corners of the blow-out port CF (as the
end surface goes closer to the corners of the blow-out port CF, the air receiving
surface and the rear surface come closer). The beveled surface guides the airflow
generated by the axial fan or the like to the corners of the blow-out port CF.
[0058] Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the second connecting rod 24B has a connecting
rod body 241B and a connecting portion 242B. Air guide fins 23 are rotatably arranged
on the connecting rod body 241B. The connecting portion 242B is closer to the center
of the blow-out panel 20 than the connecting rod body 241B, and connects the connecting
rod body 241B to the inner frame 22. Further, as viewed along the Z direction, a second
surface 2421B of the connecting portion 242B and a second surface 2411B of the connecting
rod body 241B are combined to form an inwardly concave shape. Similarly, as shown
in FIG. 5, the connecting portion 242B has a first portion 2423B extending substantially
along a direction in which the connecting rod body 241B extends and a second portion
2424B connecting the first portion 2423B to the inner frame 22. Both the first portion
2423B and the second portion 2424B have an air guide surface that serves to guide
the airflow. Specifically, both end surfaces of the first portion 2423B and the second
portion 2424B near the central direction of the blow-out panel are arch-shaped air
guide surfaces. The end surface of the second portion 2424B away from the center of
the blow-out panel is a beveled surface extending toward the corners of the blow-out
port CF. The beveled surface guides the airflow generated by the axial fan or the
like to the corners of the blow-out port CF.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 6, in the first connecting rod 24A, the second surface 2411A as
the air receiving surface of the connecting rod body 241A and a first surface 2412A
as the rear surface of the air receiving surface are substantially flat surfaces.
The second surface 2421A and the first surface 2422A of the connecting portion 242A
are substantially flat surfaces. Further, the second surface 2411A of the connecting
rod body 241A and the second surface 2421A of the connecting portion 242A intersect.
The first surface 2412A of the connecting rod body 241A and the first surface 2422A
of the connecting portion 242A are substantially the same surface or form an obtuse
angle larger than an angle formed by the second surfaces.
[0060] As a result, the airflow guided to an air guide piece can be guided to the first
surface 2412A of the connecting rod body along the first surface 2422A of the connecting
portion 242A and further to the corners of the blow-out port CF.
[0061] Similarly, as shown in FIG. 7, in the second connecting rod 24B, the second surface
2411B as the air receiving surface of the connecting rod body 241B and a first surface
2412B as the rear surface of the air receiving surface are substantially flat surfaces.
The second surface 2421B and the first surface 2422B of the connecting portion 242B
are substantially flat surfaces. Further, the second surface 2411B of the connecting
rod body 241B and the second surface 2421B of the connecting portion 242B intersect.
The first surface 2412B of the connecting rod body 241B and the first surface 2422B
of the connecting portion 242B are substantially the same surface, or form a larger
obtuse angle than an angle formed by the second surfaces. As a result, the airflow
guided to the air guide piece can be guided to the first surface 2412B of the connecting
rod body along the first surface 2422B of the connecting portion 242B and further
to the corners of the blow-out port CF.
[0062] Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the first connecting rod 24A, the second surface
2421A of the connecting portion 242A and the second surface 2411A of the connecting
rod body 241A form an obtuse angle. On the second connecting rod 24B, the second surface
2421B of the connecting portion 242B and the second surface 2411B of the connecting
rod body 241B also form an obtuse angle. As a result, when the airflow generated by
the axial fan or the like flows toward the connecting rod bodies 241A and 241B along
the connecting portions 242A and 242B, a change in a direction of the airflow becomes
relatively gentle. Thus, an airflow turbulence is less likely to occur at the connection
of the second surfaces 2421A and 2421B of the connecting portions 242A and 242B and
the second surfaces 2411A and 2411B of the connecting rod bodies 241A and 241B.
[0063] Here, on the first connecting rod 24A, an angle α1 formed between the second surface
2421A of the connecting portion 242A and the second surface 2411A of the connecting
rod body 241A is preferably 166° or more and 174° or less, and more preferably 171°.
On the second connecting rod 24B, an angle α2 formed between the second surface 2421B
of the connecting portion 242B and the second surface 2411B of the connecting rod
body 241B is preferably 164° or more and 176° or less, and more preferably 169°.
[0064] Further, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, on the first connecting rod 24A, an angle β1
formed between the second surface 2421A and the first surface 2422A of the connecting
portion 242A is preferably larger than 0° and smaller than 10°. The angle β1 is more
preferably 6°. On the second connecting rod 24B, an angle β2 formed between the second
surface 2421B and the first surface 2422B of the connecting portion 242B is preferably
larger than 0° and smaller than 10°. The angle β2 is more preferably 8.3°.
[0065] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the first connecting rod 24A and the second connecting
rod 24B on both sides of one corner of the blow-out port CF are formed such that the
connecting rod body of the first connecting rod 24A and the connecting rod body of
the second connecting rod 24B are parallel to each other.
[0066] Further, as shown in FIG. 4, on the first connecting rod 24A, a rotating shaft 29
of the air guide fins 23 is pivotally connected to the connecting rod body 241A in
parallel to the air guide fins 23. A boundary between the connecting portion 242A
and the connecting rod body 241A is disposed between the inner frame 22 and the rotating
shaft 29. Similarly, on the second connecting rod 24B, the rotating shaft of the air
guide fins 23 is pivotally connected to the connecting rod body 241B in parallel to
the air guide fins 23. A boundary between the connecting portion 242B and the connecting
rod body 241B is disposed between the inner frame 22 and the rotating shaft. As shown
in FIGS. 2 and 3, the air guide fins 23 provided in the blow-out port CF are pivotally
connected to the connecting rod body 241A of the first connecting rod 24A and the
connecting rod body 241B of the second connecting rod 24B respectively by one rotating
shaft. This enables the air guide fins 23 to be gently rotated.
[0067] Here, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the blow-out panel 20 is further provided with an
intermediate connecting rod 25. The intermediate connecting rod 25 connects the outer
frame 21 to the inner frame 22. The intermediate connecting rod 25 is disposed in
a middle of the blow-out port CF and is perpendicular to the air guide fins 23 as
viewed along the Y direction. A step motor (not shown) that drives and rotates the
air guide fins 23 is attached to the intermediate connecting rod 25. The first connecting
rod 24A and the second connecting rod 24B are provided substantially symmetrically
to the intermediate connecting rod 25.
[0068] Here, as shown in FIG. 8, when the air conditioning indoor unit 1 operates, the air
guide fins 23 are rotated to a set angle with respect to the outer surface of the
blow-out panel 20. In the thickness direction of the blow-out panel, there is a gap
between (an uppermost edge of) the air guide fins 23 and (the connecting rod body
of) the connecting rod 24 for the airflow generated by the axial fan to flow. It is
preferable that a gap of about 5 mm can be ensured between (the uppermost edge of)
the air guide fins 23 and (the connecting rod body of) the connecting rod 24 when
the air guide fins 23 are rotated to a maximum angle (for example, 75 degrees or 90
degrees) with respect to the outer surface of the blow-out panel 20. This gap may
be larger than 5 mm in order to expand a path through which the airflow flows, provided
that it does not affect a miniaturization of the blow-out panel. This gap may be smaller
than 5 mm, provided that it is ensured that the air guide fins 23 do not interfere
with the connecting rod 24 after being rotated.
[0069] Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the blow-out panel 20 is further provided with air shield
plates 27. The air shield plates 27 are provided at each corner of the blow-out port
CF, and connect the outer frame 21 to the inner frame 22. The air shield plates can
be used to separate the airflows guided by the air guide fins adjacent in a peripheral
direction. This can prevent the airflows guided by the air guide fins adjacent in
the peripheral direction from interfering with each other at the blow-out port and
improve the airflow at the blow-out port.
[0070] Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the inner frame 22 is provided with a central
member 26. The central member 26 is provided with an air guide piece 261. The air
guide piece 261 has a first surface as a rear surface of an air receiving surface
and a second surface as the air receiving surface. As viewed along the Z direction
(specifically, the viewpoint of FIG. 3), the first surface is disposed downstream
of the second surface in the clockwise direction. Further, an intake end 261a of the
air guide piece 261 is disposed on an extension line of the first surface of the connecting
rod body of the connecting rod 24. Specifically, the intake end of the air guide piece
disposed between the intermediate connecting rod 25 and the first connecting rod 24A
is disposed on an extension line of the rear surface (first surface) of the air receiving
surface of the connecting rod body of the first connecting rod 24A. The intake end
of the air guide piece disposed between the intermediate connecting rod 25 and the
second connecting rod 24B is disposed on an extension line of the first surface of
the connecting rod body of the second connecting rod 24B.
[0071] Further, as shown in FIG. 8, at least part of the central member 26 projects from
the blow-out panel 20 in the Z direction such that the air guide piece 261 can be
easily installed on the central member 26. The central member 26, which has the arch-shaped
air guide surface, can guide the airflow generated by the axial fan or the like to
the blow-out port CF. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the connecting rod 24 is disposed
at a center of the air guide piece 261 in the Z direction. The airflow generated by
the axial fan or the like flows to the connecting portion of the connecting rod 24
via the air receiving surface of the air guide piece 261, and is guided to the corners
of the blow-out port CF along the connecting rod body.
[0072] In this embodiment, when the air conditioning indoor unit 1 operates, the axial fan
30 is rotated and the air guide fins 23 of the blow-out panel 20 open at a predetermined
angle. The airflow is sucked into the indoor unit body 10 from the intake port JF
by a function of the axial fan 30, passes through the filter unit 40 and the heat
exchanger 50 in that order, and flows toward a center of the air conditioning indoor
unit 1. Next, the airflow forms a spiral airflow through the axial fan 30 and flows
down below to the central member 26. Then, the airflow is guided to the arch-shaped
air guide surface of the central member 26, spreads from the center of the blow-out
panel 20 to the periphery, and reaches the blow-out port CF. A part of this airflow
is guided to the corners of the blow-out port CF by the air guide piece 261 provided
on the central member 26, specifically, the second surface as the air receiving surface
of the air guide piece 261. This part of the airflow passes from below a support rod
262 (this support rod 262 connects the central member 26 and the indoor unit body
10), and is guided to the corners of the blow-out port CF via the connecting rod 24.
Specifically, the airflow flows along the connecting portions 242A and 242B of the
connecting rod 24 to the connecting rod bodies 241A and 241B and is guided to the
corners of the blow-out port CF. The other part of the airflow is guided by the central
member 26 to the center of the blow-out port. Finally, the airflow passes through
the blow-out port CF, is guided to the air guide fins 23 of the blow-out port CF,
and is blown out of the air conditioning indoor unit 1.
[0073] In the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the blow-out
panel 20 uses the polygonal blow-out port CF formed by being surrounded by the outer
frame 21 and the inner frame 22. This enables the air to be blown out all around 360°.
Further, the blow-out panel 20 has the connecting rod 24 provided at the corners of
the blow-out panel 20. As viewed along the Z direction, the second surface of the
connecting portion of the connecting rod 24 and the second surface of the connecting
rod body are combined to form an inwardly concave shape. Thus, the second surface
of the connecting portion of the connecting rod 24 is used to guide the airflow generated
by the axial fan 30 to the corners of the blow-out port CF via the second surface
of the connecting rod body. This allows the air to be blown out of the blow-out port
CF uniformly.
[0074] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, on the
connecting rod 24, the second surface of the connecting portion and the second surface
of the connecting rod body form an inwardly indented obtuse angle. This ensures an
effect that the second surface of the connecting portion of the connecting rod 24
guides the airflow generated by the axial fan 30 to the corners of the blow-out port
CF. In addition, it is possible to reduce the interference of the connecting portion
of the connecting rod 24 and the connecting rod body with the airflow generated by
the axial fan 30 and to make the air blown out of the blow-out port CF uniform.
[0075] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 of this embodiment, the connecting
rod 24 includes the first connecting rod 24A and the second connecting rod 24B. On
the first connecting rod 24A, the angle formed between the second surface 2421A of
the connecting portion 242A and the second surface 2411A of the connecting rod body
241A is 166° or more and 174° or less, and the angle formed by the second surface
2421A and the first surface 2422A of the connecting portion 242A is more than 0° and
less than 10°. On the second connecting rod 24B, the angle formed between the second
surface 2421B of the connecting portion 242B and the second surface 2411B of the connecting
rod body 241B is 164° or more and 176° or less, and the angle formed by the second
surface 2421B and the first surface 2422B of the connecting portion 242B is more than
0° and less than 10°. This further ensures the effect that the second surface of the
connecting portion of the connecting rod 24 guides the airflow generated by the axial
fan 30. In addition, it is possible to reduce the interference of the connecting portion
of the connecting rod 24 and the connecting rod body with the airflow generated by
the axial fan 30 and to make the airflow blown out of the blow-out port CF more uniform.
This enables the air to be blown out all around 360° of the blow-out panel.
[0076] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the
first connecting rod 24A and the second connecting rod 24B on both sides of one corner
of the blow-out port CF are formed such that the connecting rod body of the first
connecting rod 24A and the connecting rod body of the second connecting rod 24B are
parallel to each other. This can simplify the entire structure of the blow-out panel
20. In addition, it is possible to reduce the interference of the connecting rod body
of the connecting rod 24 with the airflow at the corners of the blow-out port CF and
to make the air blown out of the blow-out port CF uniform.
[0077] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, on the
connecting rod 24, the end of the connecting portion away from the connecting rod
body has an arched shape as viewed along the Z direction. This can reduce the interference
of the end of the connecting portion of the connecting rod 24 away from the connecting
rod body with the airflow generated by the axial fan 30. Then, the arched shape of
the end is used to guide the airflow generated by the axial fan or the like to the
blow-out port CF, and the air is thus blown out of the blow-out port CF uniformly.
[0078] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, on the
connecting rod 24, a width of the connecting portion becomes gradually narrower toward
the connecting rod body as viewed along the Z direction. This can ensure a strength
of the entire connecting rod 24 and reduce a volume of the connecting rod 24. Thus,
it is possible to reduce the interference of the connecting portion of the connecting
rod 24 with the airflow generated by the axial fan 30 and to make the air blown out
of the blow-out port CF uniform.
[0079] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the
connecting rod 24 is formed to extend from a central direction of the blow-out panel
20 toward the corners of the blow-out port CF as viewed along the Z direction. This
can reduce the interference of the connecting rod 24 with the airflow generated by
the axial fan 30 and also allows the airflow to blow out from the corners of the blow-out
port CF. Furthermore, the air is blown out all around 360° of the blow-out panel,
and the air blown out of the blow-out port CF is uniform.
[0080] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, on the
connecting rod 24, the width of the connecting portion is equal to or greater than
a width of the connecting rod body as viewed along the Z direction. It is therefore
possible to reduce the interference of the connecting rod 24 with the airflow generated
by the axial fan 30 and to make the air blown out of the blow-out port CF uniform.
[0081] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, on the
connecting rod 24, the connecting rod body is connected to the air guide fins 23 via
the rotating shaft 29. This enables the air guide fins 23 to be connected to the connecting
rod 24 with a simple structure.
[0082] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, on the
connecting rod 24, the boundary between the connecting portion and the connecting
rod body is disposed between the inner frame 22 and the rotating shaft 29. This simplifies
the structure of the connecting rod 24 and can prevent the air guide fins 23 from
interfering with the connecting rod 24 during rotation of the air guide fins 23.
[0083] In the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the blow-out
panel 20 is further provided with the intermediate connecting rod 25. The intermediate
connecting rod 25 connects the outer frame 21 to the inner frame 22. As viewed along
the Z direction, the intermediate connecting rod 25 is disposed in the middle of the
blow-out port CF and is perpendicular to the air guide fins 23. A step motor that
drives and rotates the air guide fins 23 is attached to the intermediate connecting
rod 25. As a result, the force received by the air guide fins 23 can be balanced and
a drive structure can be simplified. Furthermore, a step motor can be provided in
the frame outside of the blow-out port and the blow-out panel can be miniaturized.
[0084] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the
inner frame 22 is provided with the central member 26. The central member 26 is provided
with the air guide piece 261. Accordingly, the air guide piece 261 is used to guide
the airflow generated by the axial fan 30 and to prevent the airflow from blowing
straight downward. This enables the air to be blown out of the blow-out port CF more
uniformly.
[0085] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the
intake end 261a of the air guide piece 261 is disposed on an extension line of the
first surface of the connecting rod body of the connecting rod. This further ensures
the airflow flowing to the corners of the blow-out port CF and allows the air to be
blown out of the blow-out port CF uniformly.
[0086] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, at least
a part of the central member 26 projects from the blow-out panel 20 in the Z direction.
Thus, an interaction between the air guide piece 261 and the connecting rod 24 further
ensures the airflow flowing to the corners of the blow-out port CF and allows the
air to be blown out of the blow-out port CF uniformly.
[0087] Further, in the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to this embodiment, the
connecting rod 24 is disposed at the center of the air guide piece 261 in the Z direction.
This strengthens the interaction between the air guide piece 261 and the connecting
rod 24, ensures the airflow flowing to the corners of the blow-out port CF, and allows
the air to be blown out of the blow-out port CF uniformly.
[0088] Although the blow-out panel 20 and the air conditioning indoor unit 1 have been described
as an example with reference to the drawings, the specific implementation of the present
invention is obviously not limited to the above embodiment.
[0089] For example, in the above embodiment, the air conditioning indoor unit including
the indoor unit body and the blow-out panel provided at the lower part of the indoor
unit body has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not
limited thereto. For example, the blow-out panel may be connected to an air treatment
device through a blower tube, and the spiral airflow sent from a blower unit of the
air treatment device may be sent to the blow-out panel via the blower tube and then
sent out of the blow-out panel.
[0090] Further, in the above embodiment, the spiral airflow generated by the axial fan flows
clockwise around the center of the blow-out panel. However, the spiral airflow generated
by the axial fan may flow counterclockwise around the center of the blow-out panel
by driving of a motor. In this way, as viewed from the inner surface side to the outer
surface side of the blow-out panel, the first surface of the connecting portion and
the connecting rod body is disposed downstream of the second surface in the counterclockwise
direction around the center of the blow-out panel. The second connecting rod is disposed
downstream of the first connecting rod in the counterclockwise direction around the
center of the blow-out panel. The first surface of the air guide piece is disposed
downstream of the second surface of the air guide piece in the counterclockwise direction
around the center of the blow-out panel. Compared to the above embodiment, the structure
of this blow-out panel and the structure of the blow-out panel of the above embodiment
are mirror images of each another.
[0091] Further, the indoor unit body 10 has a substantially cubic shape as a whole in the
above embodiment. However, the shape of the indoor unit body may be appropriately
changed depending on the situation. For example, the indoor unit body may be formed
to be in a substantially columnar shape or a prismatic shape other than a square prism.
Similarly, although the blow-out panel 20 has a substantially rectangular shape as
viewed along the Z direction in the above embodiment, the shape of the blow-out panel
may be appropriately changed depending on the situation. For example, the blow-out
panel may be formed in a substantially circular shape or, for example, a polygon other
than a quadrangle as viewed along the Z direction.
[0092] Further, the blow-out port CF has a rectangular shape in the above embodiment, but
not limited to this as long as the blow-out port is formed in a polygonal shape.
[0093] Further, in the above embodiment, the intake ports JF are provided on all the side
surfaces of the indoor unit body 10, and the filter units 40 are provided on all the
intake ports JF. However, the numbers of intake ports and filter units may be appropriately
adjusted as necessary.
[0094] Further, one first connecting rod 24A and one second connecting rod 24B are provided
on one side of the blow-out port CF in the above embodiment. However, the numbers
of first connecting rods 24A and second connecting rods 24B provided on the one side
of the blow-out port CF may be changed as required.
[0095] Further, the connecting rod 24 includes the first connecting rod 24A and the second
connecting rod 24B in the above embodiment. However, the connecting rod 24 is not
limited to this, and may include only one of the first connecting rod 24A or the second
connecting rod 24B.
[0096] Further, in the above embodiment, the first connecting rod 24A and the second connecting
rod 24B on both sides of one corner of the blow-out port CF are formed such that the
connecting rod body of the first connecting rod 24A and the connecting rod body of
the second connecting rod 24B are in parallel to each other. However, without being
limited to this, the connecting rod body of the first connecting rod 24A and the connecting
rod body of the second connecting rod 24B are provided symmetrically to the intermediate
connecting rod 25, but may be formed non-parallel to each other.
[0097] Further, at least a part of the central member 26 projects from the blow-out panel
20 in the above embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
In the thickness direction of the blow-out panel, an uppermost part of the central
member may have substantially the same height as an uppermost part of the blow-out
panel or may be lower than the uppermost part of the blow-out panel.
[0098] Further, in the above embodiment, on the first connecting rod 24A, the second surface
2411A and the first surface 2412A of the connecting rod body 241A are substantially
flat surfaces, and the second surface 2421A and the first surface 2422A of the connecting
portion 242A are substantially flat surfaces. On the second connecting rod 24B, the
second surface 2411B and the first surface 2412B of the connecting rod body 241B are
substantially flat surfaces, and the second surface 2421B and the first surface 2422B
of the connecting portion 242B are substantially flat surfaces. However, without being
limited to this, the second surface 2411A and the first surface 2412A of the connecting
rod body 241A, and the second surface 2421A and the first surface 2422A of the connecting
portion 242A may be formed in another shape (for example, an arch, a folded line,
or the like as viewed along the Z direction). The second surface 2411B and the first
surface 2412B of the connecting rod body 241B, and the second surface 2421B and the
first surface 2422B of the connecting portion 242B may also be formed in another shape
(for example, an arch, a folded line, or the like as viewed along the Z direction).
[0099] Further, the central member 26 is provided on the inner frame 22 in the above embodiment,
but the present invention is not limited to this, and the central member may be omitted.
