Indoor unit and air-conditioning apparatus

Abstract

An indoor unit 1 includes: an airflow direction louver 4 that rotates about a vane shaft 4 a and changes a direction of air that is blowing from an air outlet 3 b; and a louver gear 10 that transmits a force from a vane drive motor part 9 to the airflow direction louver 4. The airflow direction louver 4 has an insertion indicator such as a nail. The louver gear 10 has a fitting hole 10 a that allows the insertion indicator to become visible when the airflow direction louver 4 is inserted into a bearing hole 10 b of the louver gear 10 and reaches the bottom of a bearing hole 10 b.

1 . An indoor unit comprising:
 an airflow direction louver that rotates about a rotation shaft and changes a direction of air that is blowing from an air outlet; and   a louver gear that transmits a force from a driving device to the airflow direction louver, wherein   the rotation shaft of the airflow direction louver is provided with an insertion indicator, and   the louver gear has a hole that allows the insertion indicator to become visible when the airflow direction louver is inserted into a bearing hole in the louver gear and reaches a bottom of the bearing hole.   
     
     
         2 . The indoor unit of  claim 1 , wherein the insertion indicator is a projection that is formed in the rotation shaft and is configured to be fitted in the hole in the louver gear. 
     
     
         3 . The indoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein a color of at least the projection is different from a color of a peripheral portion of the hole in the louver gear. 
     
     
         4 . The indoor unit of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a bearing that is configured to be inserted in the rotation shaft before insertion of the louver gear and to be attached to a decorative panel serving as an exterior member of the indoor unit, wherein   a direction in which the bearing is inserted in the rotation shaft is regulated.   
     
     
         5 . An air-conditioning apparatus comprising:
 the indoor unit of  claim 1 ; and   an outdoor unit, wherein   air-conditioning apparatus performs air-conditioning.
