Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner.
  • a heat exchanger In an indoor unit of an air conditioner, oftentimes a heat exchanger is given a curved shape because of the standpoints of improving heat exchange capability and restrictions on storage space. In such a heat exchanger, there are instances where the thickness of the curved portion is smaller than that of other portions and instances where there is a gap at the curved portion, and there is the potential for air to end up passing through the curved portion without being sufficiently heat-exchanged. For this reason, in an air conditioner disposed with a heat exchanger having a curved shape, a shield member for preventing passage of air through the curved portion is disposed.
  • This shield member includes plural claw portions that are press-fitted between plural fins that configure the heat exchanger, and the claw portions are press-fitted between the fins and lock, whereby the shield member is fixed to the heat exchanger (see Patent Document 1).
  • An indoor unit of an air conditioner pertaining to a first invention comprises a heat exchanger, a blowing component, an added functional unit, and a shield member.
  • the heat exchanger has a curved shape.
  • the blowing component generates a flow of air that passes through the heat exchanger and is blown out indoors.
  • the added functional unit is disposed on an upstream side of the heat exchanger and is fixed to the heat exchanger or to a member that becomes integral with the heat exchanger.
  • the shield member is integrated with the added functional unit and covers a curved portion of the heat exchanger from the upstream side.
  • the added functional unit and the shield member are integrated, so by fixing the added functional unit to the heat exchanger or to a member that becomes integral with the heat exchanger, the shield member can be attached to the curved portion of the heat exchanger. For this reason, the number of claw portions for fixing that are disposed on the shield member can be reduced. Or, the shield member can be attached to the heat exchanger without disposing claw portions for fixing on the shield member. Thus, the shield member can be easily attached to the heat exchanger, and the productivity of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be improved. Further, because the number of parts is reduced, the number of assembly man-hours is reduced, whereby the productivity of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be improved.
  • An indoor unit of an air conditioner pertaining to a second invention comprises the indoor unit of an air conditioner of the first invention, wherein the added functional unit is an air purifying unit that purifies the air that passes through the heat exchanger.
  • the air that passes through the heat exchanger can be purified by the added functional unit and sent indoors.
  • An indoor unit of an air conditioner pertaining to a third invention comprises the indoor unit of an air conditioner of either the first or second invention, wherein the shield member is disposed on a top portion of the heat exchanger. Further, the added functional unit is disposed on a front side or a rear side of the heat exchanger.
  • the added functional unit is disposed on the front side or the rear side of the heat exchanger and is fixed to the heat exchanger or to a member that becomes integral with the heat exchanger, whereby the shield member is disposed on the top portion of the heat exchanger.
  • An indoor unit pertaining to a fourth invention comprises the indoor unit of an air conditioner of the third invention, wherein the added functional unit and the shield member are integrated by a coupling member that couples together the added functional unit and the shield member.
  • the added functional unit and the shield member are integrated by the coupling member, so the added functional member and the shield member can be disposed apart. For this reason, the degree of freedom of the placement of the added functional unit and the shield member can be improved.
  • An indoor unit of an air conditioner pertaining to a fifth invention comprises the indoor unit of an air conditioner of the fourth invention, wherein the coupling member has a shape that is curved along the shape of the heat exchanger.
  • the coupling member has a shape that is curved along the shape of the heat exchanger, so the added functional unit and the shield member can be disposed along the shape of the heat exchanger.
  • the number of claw portions for fixing that are disposed on the shield member can be reduced.
  • the shield member can be attached to the heat exchanger without disposing, on the shield member, claw portions for fixing.
  • the shield member can be easily attached to the heat exchanger, and the productivity of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be improved.
  • the productivity of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be improved.
  • the number of parts is reduced, the number of assembly man-hours is reduced, whereby the productivity of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be improved.
  • the air that passes through the heat exchanger can be purified by the added functional unit and sent indoors.
  • the added functional unit is disposed on the front side or the rear side of the heat exchanger and is fixed to the heat exchanger or to a member that becomes integral with the heat exchanger, whereby the shield member is disposed on the top portion of the heat exchanger.
  • the added functional unit and the shield member are integrated by the coupling member, so the added functional member and the shield member can be disposed apart. For this reason, the degree of freedom of the placement of the added functional unit and the shield member can be improved.
  • the coupling member has a shape that is curved along the shape of the heat exchanger, so the added functional unit and the shield member can be disposed along the shape of the heat exchanger.
