[0011] Hereinafter, a description will be given of a louver and an air conditioner according to an embodiment with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals and description thereof will not be repeated.

[0012] (Air conditioner 100) 1, 2A, and 2B are diagrams showing the external appearance of an air conditioner 100 including an air direction deflector 20 according to the present embodiment. More specifically, FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the external appearance of the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment with the air outlet 102 closed. Furthermore, FIG. 2A is a diagram showing the external appearance of the air conditioner 100 with the air outlet 102 open, and FIG. 2B is a front view of the air conditioner 100 shown in FIG. 2A. Note that hereinafter, with respect to the air conditioner 100, the positive X-axis direction may be referred to as the front, the negative X-axis direction as the rear, the positive Z-axis direction as the up, the negative Z-axis direction as the down, the positive Y-axis direction as the right, and the negative Y-axis direction as the left.

[0013] 1, 2A, and 2B, the air conditioner 100 includes an indoor unit 10 and an air direction changing flap 20. The air direction changing flap 20 is rotatably attached to the indoor unit 10. The air direction changing flap 20 is also detachable from the indoor unit 10.

[0014] As shown in Figures 2A and 2B, the indoor unit 10 includes a bearing portion 111 (an example of a first mounting portion) for mounting the airflow direction changing plate 20, a support shaft 112 (an example of a second mounting portion), and a bearing portion 113 (an example of a third mounting portion).

[0015] The bearings 111 and 113 have recesses (holes) provided on the inside of the left and right side surfaces of the indoor unit 10. The support shaft 112 is provided at a position approximately midway between the bearings 111 and 113. The bearings 111, 113, and support shaft 112 are arranged on a common axis r1. The bearings 111 and 113 are each connected to a rotating shaft of a drive motor (not shown), such as a stepping motor. The axis r1 overlaps with an extension of the rotating shaft of the drive motor. Hereinafter, the axis r1 may be referred to as the rotating axis r1.

[0016] When the air conditioner 100 is stopped, the louver 20 is stopped at the angle shown in Figure 1, and the air outlet 102 is blocked by the louver 20. When the air conditioner 100 is operating, the louver 20 rotates to the angle shown in Figure 2A, and the air outlet 102 is opened.

[0017] (Wind deflector 20) Fig. 3A is a front view showing the appearance of wind direction flare 20. Fig. 3B is a view of the interior of wind direction flare 20 shown in Fig. 3A as seen from the rear side of wind direction flare 20. As shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, wind direction flare 20 includes panel member 210 and movable shaft member 230.

[0018] The panel member 210 includes a first panel member 210a disposed on the front side and a second panel member (not shown) disposed on the back side. The first panel member 210a and the second panel member are bonded together to form a space inside.

[0019] 3A, the first panel member 210a has a generally rectangular flat plate shape, and a decorative panel made of resin or the like is attached to the surface. The first panel member 210a also includes a cover portion 211, a pivot portion 212, a biasing member 213, a support member 214, and an operation portion 215 (an example of a movement mechanism).

[0020] Cover portion 211 is arranged on the indoor unit 10 side when airflow direction changing flare 20 is in the open state (FIG. 2B). Cover portion 211 has openings 211a and 211b. Opening 211a is provided on the front side of cover portion 211, and faces support shaft 112 on the indoor unit 10 side when airflow direction changing flare 20 is attached to the indoor unit 10 (FIGS. 2A and 2B). Opening 211b is provided on the right side surface of cover portion 211.

[0021] The support member 214 is provided on the back surface side of the first panel member 210a at a position facing the opening 211a. The support member 214 has a cylindrical shape. One end of the movable shaft member 230 passes through the support member 214. The movable shaft member 230 passes through the support member 214 and the opening 211b of the cover portion 211, and is supported movably inside the panel member 210.

[0022] The biasing member 213 is an elastic member such as a spring, etc. The biasing member 213 is provided on the rear surface side of the first panel member 210a, and biases the movable shaft member 230 in the right direction (positive direction of the Y axis).

[0023] Pivot portion 212 has a cylindrical shape and is fixed to the left side surface of cover portion 211, and protrudes outward (toward the negative Y-axis direction) from the left side surface.

[0024] The operating unit 215 includes a sliding member 2151. The sliding member 2151 is connected to the movable shaft member 230. In FIG. 3A, the movable shaft member 230 is moved leftward or rightward by sliding the sliding member 2151 leftward or rightward. In this embodiment, the operating unit 215 is provided at the right end of the first panel member 210a, but it may also be provided at the left end. The operating unit 215 may be located in a position that allows the user to easily operate the sliding member 2151 when attaching or detaching the airflow direction flap 20 to or from the indoor unit 10.

[0025] Hereinafter, the state in which the slide member 2151 is slid to the right and the movable shaft member 230 is moved to the right may be referred to as the first positioning state, and the state in which the slide member 2151 is slid to the left and the movable shaft member 230 is moved to the left may be referred to as the second positioning state.

[0026] Next, a specific description will be given of the configuration of the movable shaft member 230. Fig. 3C is a diagram showing the appearance of the movable shaft member 230 in this embodiment.

[0027] 3C, the movable shaft member 230 extends along the longitudinal direction of the panel member 210. The movable shaft member 230 includes a first movable shaft member 230a and a second movable shaft member 230b that are connected to each other. The overall length of the movable shaft member 230 is longer than the length from the opening 211b of the cover portion 211 to the support member 214. The first movable shaft member 230a and the second movable shaft member 230b may be made of the same material or different materials.

[0028] The first movable shaft member 230a has a pivot portion 231 (an example of a third pivot portion) and an opening 230h. The pivot portion 231 has a cylindrical shape. The pivot portion 231 is provided on the opposite side to the second movable shaft member 230b. A biasing member 213 is disposed in the opening 230h. The biasing member 213 is connected to the surface of the opening 230h facing the pivot portion 231. Because the biasing member 213 is fixed to the first panel member 210a, in the first arrangement state, the biasing member 213 bends, and the first movable shaft member 230a receives a biasing force from the biasing member 213 toward the positive direction of the Y-axis. When the hand is released from the slide member 2151 in the first arrangement state and the force applied to the slide member 2151 is released, the biasing force moves the movable shaft member 230 in the positive direction of the Y-axis, and the movable shaft member 230 assumes the second arrangement state. As the movable shaft member 230 moves in the positive direction of the Y axis due to the biasing force, the slide member 2151 also slides in the positive direction of the Y axis.

[0029] In the second positioning state, the pivot portion 231 protrudes in the positive direction of the Y axis from the right end portion (end portion on the positive side of the Y axis) of the cover portion 211, and in the first positioning state, it is stored inside the right end portion (end portion on the positive side of the Y axis) of the cover portion 211.

[0030] The second movable shaft member 230b has a pivot portion 232 (an example of a second pivot portion). The pivot portion 232 is provided at the end opposite to the first movable shaft member 230a. In Figures 3A and 3B, the dashed dotted line r2 indicates an axis (pivot axis) common to the pivot portions 231 and 232 of the movable shaft member 230 and the pivot portion 212 of the cover portion 211.

[0031] Pivot portion 232 has fitting portion 2321 into which support shaft 112 (FIGS. 2A and 2B) fits. FIGS. 4A and 4B are enlarged views of a portion of louver 20. Specifically, FIG. 4A is a view showing the state of pivot portion 232 in the second arrangement state, and FIG. 4B is a view showing the state of pivot portion 232 in the first arrangement state. Hereinafter, fitting portion 2321 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B.

[0032] 4A and 4B, the fitting portion 2321 has a cylindrical portion 2321a (an example of a tubular portion) and a groove portion 2321b. The support shaft 112 on the indoor unit 10 side has a columnar protrusion 112a that is approximately parallel to the extension direction of the movable shaft member 230. The cylindrical portion 2321a (an example of a tubular portion) has a hole H into which the protrusion 112a of the support shaft 112 is fitted. The groove portion 2321b communicates with the hole H of the cylindrical portion 2321a. The groove portion 2321b abuts against the support shaft 112.

[0033] Figures 5A and 5B are schematic cross-sectional views of wind direction flare 20. Specifically, Figure 5A is a schematic cross-sectional view of wind direction flare 20 in the second arrangement state, and Figure 5B is a schematic cross-sectional view of wind direction flare 20 in the first arrangement state.

[0034] As shown in Fig. 5B, in the first arrangement state, cylindrical portion 2321a is covered by cover portion 211, and groove portion 2321b is exposed. When support shaft 112 is brought into contact with groove portion 2321b (Fig. 4B) and the force applied to slide member 2151 is released, a part of cylindrical portion 2321a is exposed from opening 11a, and protrusion 112a (Fig. 4A) of support shaft 112 is fitted into hole H of cylindrical portion 2321a, as shown in Fig. 5A.

[0035] The width (length in the X-axis direction) of groove 2321b is equal to the width (length in the X-axis direction) of protrusion 112a. Therefore, when protrusion 112a abuts against groove 2321b (see FIG. 5A), protrusion 112a is supported by groove 2321b and is unlikely to slip out of position.

[0036] 6A to 6C, a method for attaching airflow direction changing flare 20 to indoor unit 10 will be described. Figures 6A to 6C are schematic cross-sectional views showing how airflow direction changing flare 20 is attached to indoor unit 10.

[0037] First, slide member 2151 (FIG. 3A) of operation part 215 of louver 20 is slid to the left to assume the first arrangement state (FIG. 5A). Then, as shown in FIG. 6A, pivot part 212 of louver 20 is brought into contact with bearing part 111 on the indoor unit 10 side.

[0038] 6B, while pivoting portion 212 is brought into contact with bearing portion 111, groove portion 2321b in opening 211a of airflow direction changing plate 20 is brought into contact with support shaft 112. In this state, axis r2 of pivoting portion 212, pivoting portion 232, and pivoting portion 231 of airflow direction changing plate 20 overlaps with rotation axis r1 on the indoor unit 10 side.

[0039] Next, slide member 2151 of operation unit 215 is slid to the right to assume the second arrangement state (FIG. 5B). That is, the user releases slide member 2151 and moves movable shaft member 230 to the right. As a result, as shown in FIG. 6C, pivot portion 231 of movable shaft member 230 fits into bearing portion 113 on the indoor unit 10 side, and protrusion 112a of support shaft 112 fits into hole H in fitting portion 2321 of pivot portion 232, and louver 20 is attached to indoor unit 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, pivot part 212 of airflow direction flare 20 and groove part 2321b of pivot part 232 are brought into contact with bearing part 111 and protrusion 112a of support shaft 112 on the indoor unit 10 side, respectively, so that axis r2 on the airflow direction flare 20 side and rotation axis r1 on the indoor unit 10 side overlap. Therefore, airflow direction flare 20 can then be attached to the indoor unit 10 simply by releasing the slide member 2151 of operation unit 215. In other words, to attach airflow direction flare 20, it is sufficient to slide slide member 2151 to the left, align the positions of pivot part 212 and pivot part 232, which are provided at the left end and approximately the center of airflow direction flare 20, respectively, with the attachment positions on the indoor unit 10 side, and then release the slide member 2151. Therefore, it is not necessary to align the three pivot points 212, 231, 232 of the louver 20 with the mounting positions on the indoor unit 10, and the louver 20 can be mounted to the indoor unit 10 with a simple operation.

[0041] The above describes embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above embodiments and can be implemented in various forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. The drawings mainly show each component in a schematic manner to facilitate understanding, and the thickness, length, number, etc. of each component shown in the drawings may differ from the actual ones due to the convenience of creating the drawings. Furthermore, the shape, dimensions, etc. of each component shown in the above embodiments are merely examples and are not particularly limited, and various modifications are possible within a scope that does not substantially deviate from the effects of the present disclosure.

[0042] (1) The structure for attaching airflow direction changing flare 20 to indoor unit 10 is not limited to that of the embodiment. Figures 7A and 7B are schematic cross-sectional views of indoor unit 10A and airflow direction changing flare 20A of air conditioner 100A in this modified example. Specifically, Figure 7A is a schematic cross-sectional view showing indoor unit 10A and airflow direction changing flare 20A in a first arrangement state, and Figure 7B is a schematic cross-sectional view showing indoor unit 10A and airflow direction changing flare 20A in a second arrangement state. Structures that differ from the embodiment will be mainly described below.

[0043] Air direction changing flap 20A includes panel member 210, pivot portion 212A, and movable shaft member 230A. Air direction changing flap 20A also includes operating unit 215 (see FIG. 2A, etc.) connected to movable shaft member 230A. As in the embodiment, movable shaft member 230A moves left or right in response to the sliding operation of slide member 2151 of operating unit 215.

[0044] The pivot portion 212A in this modified example has a shape that extends to the indoor unit 10A side and is bent to the left (negative direction of the Y axis), and has a shaft hole (not shown) at the bent portion.

[0045] The movable shaft member 230A includes a shaft portion 233 and pivot portions 231A and 232A. The shaft portion 233 has a rod shape extending in the longitudinal direction of the panel member 210. The pivot portion 231A is provided at the right end of the shaft portion 233, and the pivot portion 231A is provided at the left end of the shaft portion 233. The pivot portion 231A has a shape that extends toward the indoor unit 10A and is bent to the right (positive direction of the Y axis), and has a shaft hole (not shown) at the bent portion. The pivot portion 232A extends toward the indoor unit 10A and has a through-hole (not shown) that penetrates in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction.

[0046] The indoor unit 10A is equipped with a first mounting portion 111A, a second mounting portion 112A, and a third mounting portion 113A for mounting the airflow direction flare 20A. The first mounting portion 111A and the third mounting portion 113A have recesses into which the pivot portion 212A and the pivot portion 231A fit. The second mounting portion 112A includes a protrusion 1121 and a contact portion 1122. The contact portion 1122 is parallel to the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the indoor unit 10A and abuts against the pivot portion 232A. The protrusion 1121 is connected to the abutment portion 1122 and is located closer to the airflow direction flare 20A than the abutment portion 1122. The protrusion 1121 passes through a through-hole (not shown) in the pivot portion 232A when the airflow direction flare 20A is mounted to the indoor unit 10A. The shaft holes (not shown) of the first mounting portion 111A and the third mounting portion 113A and the protrusion 1121 of the second mounting portion 112A are disposed on a common rotation axis r1.

[0047] When attaching airflow direction flare 20A to indoor unit 10A, movable shaft member 230A is placed in the first position, and pivot portion 212A is inserted into first mounting portion 111A and pivot portion 232A is brought into contact with abutment portion 1122 of second mounting portion 112A as shown in FIG. 7A. This causes axis r2 (pivot shaft) passing through shaft holes (not shown) of pivot portions 212A and 231A and a through-hole (not shown) of pivot portion 232A to overlap with rotation axis r1 on the indoor unit 10A side. At this time, protrusion 1121 of second mounting portion 112A does not pass through the through-hole (not shown) of pivot portion 232A. In this state, by releasing the slide member 2151 (see FIG. 3A), airflow direction flare 20A is attached to the indoor unit 10A as shown in FIG. 7B. That is, the protrusion 1121 of the second attachment portion 112A passes through a through-hole (not shown) of the pivot portion 232A, and the bent portion of the pivot portion 231A is inserted into the third attachment portion 113A.

[0048] (2) The movable shaft members 230, 230A are not limited to a structure in which two members are connected together, and may be formed of a single member.

[0049] (3) In a state where the support shaft 112 abuts against the groove portion 2321b (see FIG. 4B), the distance until the protrusion 112a fits into the hole H of the cylindrical portion 2321a may be the same as or different from the distance until the pivot portion 231 fits into the bearing portion 113. If the distances are different, the timing at which the pivot portions 231 and 232 are attached to the indoor unit 10 will be different. In other words, if the distance until the protrusion 1121a fits into the hole H of the cylindrical portion 2321a is shorter than the distance until the pivot portion 231 fits into the bearing portion 113, the pivot portion 232 will fit into the indoor unit 10 before the pivot portion 231.
