Air conditioner

Abstract

The invention optimally adjusts indoor temperature distribution to improve comfortableness by enlarging a temperature regulation range of air discharged from an upper outlet and air discharged from a lower outlet. This air conditioner comprises an inlet 11 in the front face of a casing 10; a heat exchanger 12 inside the inlet 11; outlets 15 on both sides of the inlet 11; and cross flow fans 14 between the heat exchanger 12 and the outlets 15. A plurality of air passages 18 communicating with the outlets 15 from the inlet 11 are formed, and an expansible partition member 21 for adjusting the area of air, which passes the heat exchanger 12, in every air passage 18 is provided at the rear part of the heat exchanger 12. The area of air discharged from the respective upper and lower outlets 15 and passing the heat exchanger 12 is freely changed to regulate the temperature of upper and lower outlet air.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner, more specifically, to an indoor unit of the air conditioner for providing cold air or warm air to the room. Background technique [0002] In existing air conditioners, some are provided with a plurality of exhaust ports, and each exhaust port is also provided with the passage area (ie, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air flow path) of the air sucked in the heat exchanger by the adjustment component. , the same below) changes the mechanism (one example of which can refer to the Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 2-147721). [0003] image 3 It is a sectional view of the indoor unit of the conventional air conditioner shown in the above reference. Such as image 3 As shown in , the front of the body 10 is provided with an air intake 11, and the top and bottom of the air intake 11 are provided with an exhaust port 15. The inside of the body 10 is respectively provided with: a heat exchang...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] But, in the above-mentioned existing device structure, the air passing through the heat exchanger must be discharged from the upper and lower exhaust ports at the same time, that is, all the air passing through the heat exchanger cannot only be discharged from the upper exhaust port, and also cannot be discharged from the upper exhaust port. It cannot be exhausted only from the lower exhaust port, so the temperature distribution in the room cannot be adjusted to the best state under certain working conditions of the air conditioner, it is easy to make users feel uncomfortable, and the selection range of exhaust methods is also limited, etc. question
