Air conditioner

Abstract

There is provided a front flap 6 having a rotary shaft 61 at a front side of an outlet 5 to be rotatable outwardly from a housing 2 about the rotary shaft 61; a rotary mechanism 62 that rotates the front flap 6; an auxiliary flap 8 coupled with the front flap 6 and disposed inside the housing 2, and having a rotary shaft 81 disposed on the same axial center as that of the rotary shaft 61 to be rotatable about the rotary shaft 81; and a rotary mechanism 82 that rotates the auxiliary flap 8.

1 . An air conditioner including an outlet provided in a bottom surface of a housing, a first flap having a first rotary shaft at a back side of the outlet to be rotatable outwardly from the housing about the first rotary shaft, and a first rotary mechanism that rotates the first flap, the air conditioner comprising:
 a second flap having a second rotary shaft at a front side of the outlet to be rotatable outwardly from the housing about the second rotary shaft;   a second rotary mechanism that rotates the second flap;   a third flap coupled with the second flap and disposed inside the housing, and having a third rotary shaft arranged on the same axial center as that of the second rotary shaft to be rotatable about the third rotary shaft inside the housing; and   a third rotary mechanism that rotates the third flap.   
     
     
         2 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein one of the second flap or the third flap has a notch that allows the other flap to fit therein and arranges the second and third rotary shafts on the same axial center. 
     
     
         3 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the second rotary mechanism is disposed at a position on the second flap that is different from that on the axial center of the second rotary shaft, and   the third rotary mechanism is disposed at a position on the third flap that is different from that on the axial center of the third rotary shaft.   
     
     
         4 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein when a heating operation is performed, the second and third rotary mechanisms rotate the second and third flaps to constitute a linear flap turning toward a vertical direction or a pseudo-arcuate flap turning downward with the second and third flaps. 
     
     
         5 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein when a cooling operation is performed, the second and third rotary mechanisms rotate the second and third flaps to constitute a pseudo-arcuate flap turning downward with the second and third flaps. 
     
     
         6 . The air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein when a heating operation with a larger air volume, the third rotary mechanism rotates the third flap to close a space between a wall surface of the outlet and the second flap with the third flap.
