Air Conditioner

Abstract

An air conditioner that can decompose and remove bacteria, viruses and the like, which are sources of odor, with efficiency is provided. The air conditioner includes a resin part and an apatite having a photocatalytic function. The resin part forms an air distribution path. The apatite is disposed on at least part of the resin part.

1 . An air conditioner comprising: 
 a resin part forming an air distribution path for distributing air into a room; and    an apatite having a photocatalytic function and being disposed on at least part of the resin part.    
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising 
 an impeller for supplying the air into the room, the resin part including a scroll part that causes a flow of air generated as a result of the impeller rotating to converge.    
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 1 , wherein 
 the resin part includes a flap that adjusts a flow direction of the air into the room.    
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising 
 a humidifying unit that humidifies the air; and    an indoor unit disposed in the room,    the air distribution path being a humidified air distribution path for supplying, to the indoor unit, the air that has been humidified by the humidifying unit.    
     
     
         5 . An air conditioner comprising: 
 a resin part disposed in an air distribution path for distributing air into a room; and    an apatite having a photocatalytic function and being disposed on at least part of the resin part.    
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the resin part includes an impeller for supplying the air into the room.  
     
     
         7 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 5 , further comprising 
 a cooling part for cooling the air, wherein the resin part including a drain pan that receives water condensed by the cooling part.    
     
     
         8 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 5 , wherein 
 the resin part includes a humidifying unit that humidifies the air.    
     
     
         9 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 1 , wherein 
 the apatite is distributed in the resin part.    
     
     
         10 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 1 , wherein 
 the at least part of the resin part where the apatite is disposed is surface-roughened.    
     
     
         11 . An air distribution path forming member that forms an air distribution path for distributing air into a room, comprising: 
 an apatite having a photocatalytic function and being disposed so as to contact e air flowing in the air distribution path, the air distribution path forming member being molded from resin.    
     
     
         12 . An air distribution path forming member that forms an air distribution path for distributing air into a room, the air distribution path forming member comprising: 
 a resin layer configured to be disposed so as to cover at least part of the air distribution path; and    an apatite having a photocatalytic function and being disposed on at least part of the resin layer.    
     
     
         13 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 2 , wherein 
 the resin part includes a flap that adjusts a flow direction of the air into the room.    
     
     
         14 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising 
 a humidifying unit that humidifies the air; and    an indoor unit disposed in the room,    the air distribution path being a humidified air distribution path for supplying, to the indoor unit, the air that has been humidified by the humidifying unit.    
     
     
         15 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 6 , further comprising 
 a cooling part for cooling the air, wherein the resin part including a drain pan that receives water condensed by the cooling part.    
     
     
         16 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 6 , wherein 
 the resin part includes a humidifying unit that humidifies the air.    
     
     
         17 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 2 , wherein 
 the apatite is distributed in the resin part.    
     
     
         18 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 2 , wherein 
 the at least part of the resin part where the apatite is disposed is surface-roughened.    
     
     
         19 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the apatite is distributed in the resin part.  
     
     
         20 . The air conditioner as recited in  claim 5 , wherein 
 the at least part of the resin part where the apatite is disposed is surface-roughened.
