Abstract: An air conditioning unit has improved visual appeal in a non-operational state, and can reduce smudging of a ceiling in an air conditioned space by discharged air. The air conditioning unit is configured to be disposed above a space to be air-conditioned. The air conditioning unit includes a case, a first moveable panel, and a moveable panel actuating mechanism. The case has at least one discharge duct on a bottom face. The first moveable panel is configured to open and close the discharge duct. The moveable panel actuating mechanism moves the first moveable panels between a first position at which at least the outside section of the discharge duct is closed off, and a second position at which the outside section of the discharge duct is opened.

Abstract: An indoor unit (13) of an air conditioner (43) including: a filter member (41) for trapping dust contained in air sucked through an inlet (22); a dust removing means (42) configured to remove the dust trapped on the filter member (41) from the filter member (41); and a dust container (43) for containing the dust removed from the filter member (41) by the dust removing means (42), wherein the indoor unit (13) further includes a container lifting/lowering means (44) for lifting/lowering only the dust container (43) relative to the casing (34).

Abstract: In order to give a simple appearance design to an interior panel (10) for an air conditioner (1) of the type having a couple of juxtaposed air inlet (11) and air outlet (12) and to eliminate the need for a complicated mechanism or behavior for implementing the design, the interior panel (10) is provided with: an opening cover (15) covering the couple of air inlet (11) and air outlet (12) together; and an opening/closing mechanism for opening and closing the couple of air inlet (11) and air outlet (12) by changing the position of the opening cover (15) within a region including the couple of air inlet (11) and air outlet (12). The opening/closing mechanism is a mechanism for turning the opening cover (15) about a central axis (O) located between the couple of air inlet (11) and air outlet (12).

Abstract: An air conditioning apparatus is disposed above an air conditioned space. The air conditioning apparatus includes a case, a bottom surface panel, a filter, and a filter support part. The bottom surface of the case is open. The bottom surface panel covers part of the open portion of the bottom surface of the case. The filter is accommodated within the case. The filter support part detachably supports the filter such that the filter is separated upward from the bottom surface panel by a predetermined gap.

Abstract: An indoor unit of an air conditioner includes a filter member for trapping dust; a dust removing mechanism for removing the dust from the filter member; and a dust container for containing the dust removed from the filter member. The indoor unit further includes a container lifting/lowering mechanism for lifting/lowering the dust container relative to a casing; and a drive unit capable of alternatively performing removal operation by engaging with a dust removing mechanism to drive the dust removing mechanism, and lifting/lowering operation by engaging with a container lifting/lowering mechanism to drive the container lifting/lowering mechanism.

Abstract: An air conditioner is installable in a ceiling of an air-conditioned room and is disposed with a casing in whose top surface is formed a suction opening and in whose bottom surface are formed blowout openings, and in which is formed an air flow path that leads from the suction opening to the blowout openings, a blow fan that is disposed in the air flow path, and a heat exchanger that is disposed in the air flow path.

Abstract: The present invention intends to reduce the size of an indoor unit of an air conditioner installed on a ceiling, while saving space for holding dust removed from a filter. A rotating brush (61) is provided for removing dust trapped on a filter (21) arranged on an inlet side of an indoor fan (13). Space for retaining the dust removed by the rotating brush (61) is provided in a center cover (17) for covering a room-facing side of the filter (21).

Abstract: In an indoor unit (13) installed on a ceiling, a filter (41) is arranged along an upper surface of a suction grille (28). The filter (41) is attached to a transfer belt (58), and moves as pulleys (56, 57) rotate. A rotating brush (51) is in contact with the filter (41). Dust trapped on the filter (41) is removed by the rotating brush (51) as the filter (41) moves. A dust container (60) is provided below the rotating brush (51), and the dust removed from the filter (41) accumulates in the dust container (60). The dust container (60) is attached to a suction grille (28) which can be lifted/lowered. When the suction grille (28) is lowered, the dust container (60) is lowered together with the suction grille (28).

Abstract: An indoor unit of a ceiling-embedded type or ceiling-suspended type air conditioner with an improved flexibility of the design of a bottom panel is provided. An indoor unit includes a bottom panel, an inlet disposed to the bottom panel, a movable panel that closes the inlet during non-operation, and a driving unit. The driving unit moves or rotates the movable panel. During operation, the movable panel moves or rotates and recedes above a bottom surface of the bottom panel.
