Patent number: 8834242Abstract: A ceiling embedded type air conditioner is embedded in a ceiling surface and includes an outlet that blows out air conditioned air toward an indoor space, and a louver capable of changing a blow-out vertical direction of the air conditioned air at the outlet. If a state in which a wind direction position of the louver is set so that it is oriented to a wind direction position continues for a first prescribed time or longer, then the louver is temporarily changed to a wind direction position more downward than the wind direction position, and once again changed to the wind direction position.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2005Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shunichi Uenaka, Shingo Onishi, Yukio Inoue, Tsunehisa Sanagi, Azumi Terakawa

Patent number: 8006512Abstract: A ceiling embedded type air conditioner that reduces short circuits without increasing drafts due to air currents blown out from outlets includes a casing and a fan. The casing includes a casing lower part formed by an alternating sequence of four panel side parts and four panel corner parts. The casing further includes four main outlet passageways along the panel side parts, auxiliary outlet passageways in the three panel corner parts and an inlet that is surrounded by all of the panel side parts. The auxiliary outlet passageways are formed so that the spacing between each auxiliary outlet passageways and a corresponding adjacent main outlet passageways satisfies a prescribed dimensional relationship.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2004Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Tsunehisa Sanagi, Azumi Terakawa, Akihiko Sakashita

Patent number: 8007240Abstract: An impeller of a centrifugal fan includes an end plate, a plurality of blades and an end ring. The blades include blade bodies that are annularly disposed around a shaft and fixed to the end plate. The blades further include blade covers that are attached to the blade bodies. The blade covers and the blade bodies form a hollow space. The end ring is disposed such that it sandwiches the plural blades between itself and the end plate in a shaft direction. The blade covers form at least part of negative-pressure surfaces.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2004Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Tsunehisa Sanagi, Hisanori Nishino, Azumi Terakawa

Patent number: 7757749Abstract: An air conditioner principally includes a casing having a casing lower part formed by an alternating sequence of four panel side parts and four corner parts. The casing further has main outlets disposed along each of the panel side parts, and auxiliary outlets disposed at the corner parts. The air conditioner further includes horizontal flaps rotatably supported about longitudinal axes of the main outlets. A circumferential edge part of each of the auxiliary outlets is formed so that the air from each of the auxiliary outlets is blown out in a fixed direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2008Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Akihiko Sakashita, Tsunehisa Sanagi, Azumi Terakawa
