AIR CONDITIONER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent expansion or contraction of an airflow direction changing device, having the configuration of a quarter arc, as well as a distortion, deflection or the like of the same device from the supporting unit for the same due to a temperature by a method wherein the airflow direction changing device is divided into an air outlet side and an opposing side to the air outlet side while the rigidity of the side, receiving the affection of heat much more, is weakened than that of the opposite side. SOLUTION: An airflow direction changing device 7 is provided with the configuration of a quarter arc as well as a size capable of covering an air outlet port 2 and is arranged at the outer peripheral side while the device is constituted of a rigid body having a polygonal sectional configuration, divided into a plurality of parts partitioned so as to be concentric with the arc or an internal peripheral part 7a, near an air outlet port 2, and an outer peripheral unit 7b (inside of living room) opposed to the part 7a. The thickness of the internal peripheral part 7a, against which heat-exchanged air is collided, is made thinner than that of the outer peripheral part 7b to reduce a rigidity whereby expansion or contraction of the inner peripheral part 7a due to the heat-exchanged air can be corrected by the rigidity of the outer peripheral part 7b. According to this method, the deformation of the outer peripheral part 7b or the part at the inside side of the living room can be prevented even when the expansion or contraction due to the outlet air temperature is generated at the side near the air outlet port whereby a good appearance can be maintained.
