Apparatus for deflecting the direction of the wind in an air conditioner

Abstract

The present invention provides an air conditioner comprising, at a blowout port, a vertically deflecting vane and a group of the laterally deflecting vanes for respectively vertically and laterally deflecting the wind blown out from the blowout port. The group of the laterally deflecting vanes is partitioned with respect to the center of the blowout port into at least one rightwardly deflecting vane and at least one leftwardly deflecting vane, so that the rightwardly deflecting vane and the leftwardly deflecting vane can be individually operated. A drive means is controllably provided for individually driving the vertically deflecting vane and the group of laterally deflecting vanes, so that the wind blown out from said blowout port is changed in accordance with a temperature value to a mode in which the blowout wind is laterally split in a horizontal or upward direction, a mode in which it is concentrated in the horizontal or upward direction, a mode in which it is laterally split in a downward direction, and a mode in which it is concentrated in the downward direction.
