Indoor unit for air-conditioning apparatus

Abstract

The air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit includes a main body that has an air inlet and an air outlet that accommodates a heat exchanger and a fan, left-right deflectors that are arranged in the air outlet and are configured to change the direction of an air flow from the air outlet in a left-right direction, up-down deflectors that are arranged in the air outlet and are configured to change the direction of the air flow from the air outlet in an up-down direction, the infrared sensor disposed at one end in the left-right direction of the front surface of the main body, and a large air flow control plate, a small air flow control plate, and an upper air flow control plate that are arranged between the infrared sensor and one end of the left-right deflector close to the infrared sensor and that control the air flow from the air outlet.

1 . An air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit comprising:
 a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet and accommodating a heat exchanger and a fan;   a left-right deflector configured to change a direction of an air flow from the air outlet in a left-right direction;   an up-down deflector configured to change the direction of the air flow from the air outlet in an up-down direction;   an infrared sensor disposed at one end in the left-right direction of a front surface of the housing so that the infrared sensor is next to one end in the left-right direction of the air outlet of the housing; and   at least one air flow control member disposed between the infrared sensor and one end of the left-right deflector close to the infrared sensor, the at least one air flow control member controlling the air flow from the air outlet.   
     
     
         2 . The air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one air flow control member is disposed on the up-down deflector. 
     
     
         3 . The air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one air flow control member is disposed on an upper surface of the air outlet. 
     
     
         4 . The air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit of  claim 3 ,
 wherein the at least one air flow control member includes two air flow control members arranged on the up-down deflector and one air flow control member disposed on the upper surface of the air outlet, and   wherein the one air flow control member on the upper surface of the air outlet is disposed between the two air flow control members on the up-down deflector.   
     
     
         5 . The air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit of  claim 2 , wherein a part of the at least one air flow control member on the up-down deflector is a bearing of the up-down deflector. 
     
     
         6 . The air-conditioning-apparatus indoor unit of  claim 4 , wherein one of the two air flow control members, arranged on the up-down deflector, close to the infrared sensor has a larger area than an other one of the two air flow control members.
