Abstract:
Entrance of cold air from near a wall of an indoor space is avoided. An airflow direction adjusting flap is provided at a main outlet opening, and changes the direction of airflow coming from the main outlet opening in a vertical direction. A load detector detects a load of an indoor space. When the load of the indoor space is higher than a predetermined value in a heating operation, the airflow direction adjusting flap guides the air coming from the main outlet opening in a horizontal direction or in an upward direction with respect to the horizontal direction.

Claim (Index 9):
An indoor unit of an air-conditioning device which supplies air to an indoor space, the indoor unit comprising:\n an indoor casing provided with at least one outlet opening; an airflow direction adjusting flap which is provided at the outlet opening and changes a direction of air coming from the outlet opening in a vertical direction; a load detector which detects a load of the indoor space; and a controller which controls the airflow direction adjusting flap when the load of the indoor space is higher than a predetermined value in a heating operation, such that the direction of the air coining from the outlet opening is a horizontal direction or directed upward from the horizontal direction, wherein the airflow direction adjusting flap also functions as an airflow inhibition mechanism which is provided at the outlet opening and is configured to inhibit flow of air, the airflow direction adjusting flap being configured to be movable to an inhibition position where the flow of air is inhibited, when the load of the indoor space is higher than the predetermined value in the heating operation, the controller controls the airflow direction adjusting flap, which also functions as the airflow inhibition mechanism, such that a total opening area of the at least one outlet opening is smaller than when the load of the indoor space is lower than the predetermined value in the heating operation, and sets a speed of the air coming from the outlet opening at a higher speed than when the load of the indoor space is lower than the predetermined value in the heating operation, and when the airflow direction adjusting flap takes the inhibition position, a gap is formed between an edge of the airflow direction adjusting flap and an edge of the outlet openings.
