Abstract: An indoor unit of an air conditioning apparatus includes an door unit casing and an airflow direction adjusting member. The indoor unit casing has an air inlet and an air outlet with an edge on an air inlet side forming a bulge toward the air inlet. The airflow direction adjusting member covers at least part of the air outlet. The airflow direction adjusting member has an edge on the air inlet side forming a bulge toward the air inlet.

Abstract: This invention inhibits the turbulence of airflow of conditioned air that is blown out from a blowout part and improves the energy efficiency of air conditioning when branching the conditioned air by a mounting structure part of a motor for driving a flap. An air conditioner having: a casing including a suction opening for sucking in indoor air and a blowout part for blowing out conditioned air; and a blower and a heat exchanger housed inside the casing has a flap 303 which is mounted on the blowout part and which adjusts the blowing direction of the conditioned air, and a motor 50 which serves as a drive source for oscillating the flap 303 and is provided at a position which avoids lengthwise ends of the blowout part. The motor 50 is provided with a flow-adjusting cover 80 formed in a shape of branching the conditioned air toward the respective lengthwise ends of the blowout part.

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: 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 (1) is provided with an output control portion (35, 71) for controlling a cleaning signal output portion (33, 48) to output a cleaning signal when it is determined that the amount of dust in a dust storing portion (60, 90) has reached a predetermined first level, and when it is determined that the amount of dust in the dust storing portion (60, 90) has reached a second level that is higher than the first level.

Abstract: An indoor unit (13) of an air conditioner (10) including: a filter member (41) for trapping dust; a dust removing mechanism (42) for removing the dust from the filter member (41); and a dust container (43) for containing the dust removed from the filter member (41), wherein the indoor unit (13) further includes: a container lifting/lowering mechanism (44) for lifting/lowering the dust container (43) relative to a casing (34); and a drive means (57) capable of alternatively performing removal operation by engaging with a dust removing mechanism (42) to drive the dust removing mechanism (42), and lifting/lowering operation by engaging with a container lifting/lowering mechanism (44) to drive the container lifting/lowering mechanism (44).

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).
