BREEZELESS STRUCTURE FOR AIR CONDITIONER AND AIR CONDITIONER HAVING THE SAME
A breezeless structure and an air conditioner are provided. The breezeless structure has an air dispersing structure, which has a stationary blade assembly and a rotating member spaced apart from each other in an air-flowing direction. The rotating member is rotatable relative to the stationary blade assembly. The stationary blade assembly has a plurality of stationary blades spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the stationary blade assembly. The rotating member has a plurality of rotating blades spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the rotating member. Each rotating blade is obliquely disposed to allow air to flow on opposite side walls of the rotating blade. Alternatively or additionally, each stationary blade is obliquely disposed to allow air to flow on opposite side walls of the stationary blade.
INDOOR UNIT
In a known indoor unit, a casing may move away from a wall surface and a gap may be formed between the casing and the wall surface, with the result that the design of the indoor unit may be deteriorated. An indoor unit includes a mounting board fixed to a wall surface and a bottom frame (casing) attached to the mounting board. The bottom frame (casing) has screw holes (screw fixing portions) for fixing the bottom frame (casing) to the wall surface of the room.
Air-conditioning apparatus
The length of a cross flow fan in the rotational axis direction is longer than the length of an air outlet in the longitudinal direction, and the cross flow fan has a fan extension positioned beyond each end of the air outlet in the rotational axis direction. Deflectors are provided in the air-conditioning apparatus main body. An outlet airflow blown from each fan extension of the cross flow fan impinges upon a corresponding one of the deflector. Furthermore, the shape of blade portions of the fan extensions of the cross flow fan and the shape of blade portions opposing the air outlet are different from each other. The wind speed of the outlet airflow blown from the blade portion is lower than the wind speed of an outlet airflow blown from the blade portion.
Air conditioner
An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner may include a case, first and second discharge ports disposed on opposite sides of the case to discharge air, at least one discharge vane rotatably disposed at each of the first and second discharge ports, and an operation panel disposed between the first and second discharge ports. The operation panel is movable to selectively vary a discharge area of each of the first and second discharge ports. The discharge are selectively rotatable when not covered by the operation panel to vary an air flow direction.
INDOOR UNIT
When a front panel moves away from a front surface of a casing, a central part of the front panel is warped. An indoor unit of the present invention includes a casing, a front panel provided forward of the casing, and a drive mechanism moving the front panel away from the front surface of the casing. The front panel is curved so that its central part protrudes forward. The drive mechanism moves the front panel in a substantially horizontal direction.
AIR CONDITIONING APPARATUS HAVING AIRFLOW CONTROLLING DEVICE
The present disclosure relates to an air conditioning apparatus having an airflow controlling device including: a case having at least one surface provided with an outlet through which cold airflow is discharged; and a pair of sliding doors installed on the case to be able to cover the outlet and formed to be able to control an open area of the outlet.
INDOOR UNIT FOR AIR-CONDITIONING APPARATUS
An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a main body attached to an attachment portion, a heat exchanger attached to the main body and configured to exchange heat between air and refrigerant, a fan attached to the main body and configured to send, into a room, air subjected to heat exchange in the heat exchanger, and a front frame attached to the main body by using a screw. The front frame forms a fan casing that accommodates the fan between the front frame and the main body and through which air sent by the fan passes. The fan casing has an air outlet through which air is blown out, between a front air passage wall on a front side of the fan casing and a back air passage wall on a back side of the fan casing. The back air passage wall has, at a downstream terminal end, a recess into which the screw is inserted. The indoor unit further includes a screw cover covering the screw and attached to the recess. The screw cover has a hollow passing through in a laterally extending direction, and a chamber is formed by the hollow being held between side walls located on both sides of the recess in the front frame.
Air Conditioner Indoor Unit and Air Conditioner
An air conditioner indoor unit includes: a shell having an air inlet and an air outlet, the air outlet is located at the bottom of the shell; and at least one heat exchanger group. The air flows through the air inlet and is subjected to heat exchange via the at least one heat exchanger group, and then flows out from the air outlet. The heat exchanger group includes: a first heat exchanger; a second heat exchanger arranged to be inclined with respect to a first direction, a lower end portion of the second heat exchanger being connected to an upper end portion of the first heat exchanger; a third heat exchanger spaced apart from the first heat exchanger; and a fourth heat exchanger arranged to be inclined with respect to the first direction.

AUTO-ADJUSTING FAN ASSEMBLY FOR AN AIR CONDITIONING APPLIANCE
An air conditioner unit is configured for automatically detecting a restricted duct and adjusting fan speed schedules in response. The air conditioner unit includes an indoor fan including a drive motor for selectively rotating the indoor fan to urge a flow of air through the indoor portion and a controller is configured for sending a control signal to the drive motor to rotate the indoor fan to an actual fan speed. Based on the actual fan speed and a unit voltage, the controller obtains a target control signal, e.g., via a lookup table, and determines that a restricted duct condition exists if the control signal is different than the target control signal. The controller adjusts the operation of the indoor fan in response to determining that the restricted duct condition exists.
