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.

Air conditioning unit

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

Indoor unit of air conditioner

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

Interior panel of air conditioner and air conditioner

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.

Air conditioning apparatus

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.

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.
