The first left / right wind direction plate 5a performs the swing operation W shown in FIG. 3 which changes the direction in the same direction by the movement of the arm 52a with the first rotation shaft 51a as the center of rotation, and spreads the blown air to the air-conditioned room L. Can do.

A plurality of second left and right airflow direction plates 5b are also arranged in the upper and lower direction and in parallel at the upper outlet 43. The configuration and operation method of the second left and right wind direction plate 5b are substantially the same as the first left and right wind direction plate 5a of the lower outlet 42, and a strip-shaped blade portion 50b and a second rotating shaft provided on the same axis at both upper and lower ends. 51b, an arm 52b integrally provided at the upper rear of the blade portion 50b, and a connecting pin 53 provided at the tip of the arm 52b, and the second rotating shaft 51b of the air outlet frame 40 on the upper air outlet 43 side. The upper shaft and the upper surface of the mounting plate 41 are pivotally supported by a second shaft hole 43a .
As shown in FIG. 6, the second left / right wind direction plate 5b is connected to the motor 6b and the second swing plate 61b of the driving means. A motor 6b is mounted above the duct 32, and a second swinging plate 61b and a second connecting plate 62b as second connecting means are provided below the motor 6b and provided at the upper end of the second left and right wind direction plate 5b. The second left / right airflow direction plate 5b is connected to the arm 52b.

Since the shaft is supported, the height of the accommodated shaft is required as the height of the mounting plate 41. However, since the mounting plate 41 is located near the center of the blown wind and becomes ventilation resistance, it is necessary to suppress the height of the mounting plate 41 so as not to cause ventilation resistance as much as possible. Therefore, in the present invention, the first left and right wind direction plates 5a of the lower air outlet 42 and the second left and right air direction plates 5b of the upper air outlet 43 are connected to the first shaft hole 42a and the first air hole 42a in order to suppress the ventilation resistance as shown in FIG. Since the biaxial hole 43a is not provided on the coaxial line in the vertical direction, the first rotary shaft 51a and the second rotary shaft 51b are alternately supported on the left and right. Thereby, compared with the case where the 1st rotation axis | shaft 51a and the 2nd rotation axis | shaft 51b are arrange | positioned on a coaxial line, it becomes substantially half height and can reduce ventilation resistance. Further, as shown in Example 2 described later in FIG. 8, the third rotation shaft 51c may be disposed behind the fourth rotation shaft 51d.

  In the above description, the first left and right wind direction plate 5a of the lower outlet 42 is connected to the motor 6a, and the second left and right wind direction plate 5b of the upper outlet 43 is connected to the motor 6b. However, although not shown, only one motor 6 a may be arranged to rotate both the first left and right wind direction plates 5 a of the lower outlet 42 and the second left and right wind direction plates 5 b of the upper outlet 43. At that time, the connection plates 62 of the lower air outlet 42 and the upper air outlet 43 are connected by a connecting shaft, and a gear is interposed therebetween, so that the upper air outlet 43 is adjusted to make another rotation. Further, when the second left and right wind direction plate 5b of the upper outlet 43 is fixed and used as the spot air conditioning S, the second left and right wind direction plate 5b is moved to a predetermined position by separating the gear from the connecting plate 62 of the upper outlet 43. To fix.

  Next, the operation of the left and right wind direction plate 5 will be described. The first left and right wind direction plates 5a and the second left and right wind direction plates 5b can respectively select a rotation method. For example, assuming that the period of the swing operation W from the right end to the left end of the first left / right wind direction plate 5a and the second left / right wind direction plate 5b is constant, as shown in FIG. 7, the first left / right wind direction plate 5a and the second left / right wind direction plate 5b. By rotating the swing operation W in the left and right directions with different rotation operations, it is possible to reduce the time during which the wind does not hit as much as possible to provide comfort and to air-condition the entire air-conditioned room L.

    Further, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, spot air conditioning S can be performed by fixing the second left and right wind direction plate 5b toward a predetermined user H1, and the first left and right wind direction plate 5a is swung. By doing so, the entire air-conditioned room L can be air-conditioned.

  Further, by fixing the second left / right wind direction plate 5b toward the user H2 and fixing the first left / right wind direction plate 5a toward the user H1, each of the air-conditioning rooms L can be spot air-conditioned. S can be obtained.

  The left and right wind direction plates 5 do not necessarily perform automatic operation by the driving means, respectively, and either one can be automatically operated and the other can be manually changed in direction. The third left and right wind direction plate 5c of the upper outlet 43 shown in FIG. 8 has the tip of the blade portion 50c pointed in a desired direction with a finger and is longer than the fourth left and right wind direction plate 5d of the lower outlet 42. The distance between adjacent left and right wind direction plates is increased. As a result, the blade portion 50c rotates greatly, the direction of the spot air-conditioning S becomes easy to understand, and the wind guiding effect for guiding the blown air in a certain direction is high. Further, it is possible to obtain spot air conditioning S and overall air conditioning, and the cost for one motor is reduced.
