Description

  The present invention relates to an air conditioner in which a flap for adjusting a wind direction is provided at a temperature-controlled air outlet.

  The air outlet of the air conditioner is generally provided with a louver that adjusts the direction of the temperature-controlled air in the left-right direction and a flap that adjusts in the up-down direction. These louvers and flaps are provided with a louver on the upstream side and a flap on the downstream side in the air passage of the air outlet, and each rotary shaft is fixed at one point in the air passage of the air outlet. When the operation is stopped, the outlet can be closed by the flap. In the case where the blowout port extends horizontally in the width of the flap in such a configuration, it is difficult to make the flap position the optimum position in the air passage during the lower blowout or the upper blowout, and when the upper blowout is optimized, The flap narrows the air path when blowing down, causing problems such as the wind direction not being determined optimally or the air volume being reduced.

  In view of this, Patent Documents 1 to 3 provide a flap whose rotation shaft is movable. In Patent Document 1, a second link is rotatably provided at the other end of a first link that is rotatably installed on a side plate, and a flap rotation shaft is provided by rotatably supporting a flap at the tip of the second link. Has been described that can be moved out of the air path of the outlet through a multi-contact link mechanism. In Patent Document 2, a cam gear is driven by a motor via a motor gear and a drive gear, and the front and rear two points of the flap are rotated via two sets of link mechanisms that are moved by cam grooves provided in the cam gear. It is described that the rotation shaft of the flap can be moved outside the air passage of the outlet by freely supporting.

  Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, a second rotation shaft that forms the rotation center of another second flap is rotatably supported on the first flap of the upper and lower two flaps via a gear box. The second flap can be rotated together with the first flap about the first rotation axis that forms the rotation center of the first flap, and can be independently rotated about the second rotation axis. Accordingly, there is described a configuration in which the second rotation shaft of the second flap can be moved out of the air passage of the outlet.

  However, what is disclosed in Patent Document 1 does not disclose a specific means for rotating the rotation axis of the flap and the second link, but manually moves the flap and the first and second links. However, it is not designed to adjust the wind direction by operating the flap with a remote controller or the like.

  Further, in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the rotation axis of the flap can be moved out of the air path of the outlet by driving the motor, and the flap can be rotated around the rotation axis. A link mechanism consisting of multiple links and a gear train consisting of multiple gears are required, and in order to move the flap to the optimal upper blowout position and lower blowout position, a complicated movement mechanism is required, and there are many parts and configuration However, in the case of using gear trains, it is necessary to assemble the gear trains on both sides of the flap at the same timing, which increases the number of assembly steps.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and without using a gear train that increases the number of parts and the number of assembly steps, the rotation axis of the flap is moved outside the air path of the outlet, and the upper outlet An object of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner capable of improving the controllability of the wind direction by adjusting the rotation angle of the flap to the optimum position both at the time of blowing and at the time of lower blowing.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the air conditioner of the present invention employs the following means.
That is, the air conditioner according to the present invention, the air outlet of the conditioned air, in the air conditioner flap is provided for adjusting the wind direction, the flap, the width direction definitive across the site of its length is rotatably supported via the first shaft to the other end of the link having one end to a rotary shaft to be driven are connected by front end ducks over data, the other end side of the link first shaft is supported in a circular arc in rotation the self-standing around the rotary shaft, the rear end side in the width direction of the flap, the second support shaft to guide path provided along the vertical direction of the air outlet The first support shaft is adjusted to a position where it protrudes out of the air passage both when it is blown upward and when it is blown downward.

According to the present invention, the flap for the wind direction adjustment provided blowout ports, links one end to the rotary shaft driven by the front end ducks over other definitive widthwise across the site of its longitudinal direction is coupled is rotatably supported via the first shaft to the other end, said first shaft to the other end of the link is supported in a circular arc in rotation the self-standing around the rotary shaft, The rear end of the flap in the width direction is slidably supported through a second support shaft on a guide path provided along the vertical direction of the air outlet. When rotating the rotary shaft by a motor, the link whose one end is coupled to the rotary shaft is rotated out of the air passage of the blowout port, so that the front end in the width direction of the flap is connected to the other end of the link. The first support shaft, which supports the side in a freely rotatable manner, is located outside the air passage at the outlet. The flap is supported by the first support shaft and the second support shaft that is slid along the guide path, and the flap is blown upward according to the rotation range of the link rotated by the motor. By regulating the rotation angle between the position and the lower blowing position, the blowing direction of the temperature-controlled air can be adjusted to an arbitrary direction. Accordingly, the flap rotation shaft can be jumped out of the air passage of the air outlet at both the upper and lower blowouts, and the flap rotation angle can be adjusted to the optimum position at that position, thereby narrowing the air passage. It is possible to prevent a decrease in the air volume due to airflow and a temperature-controlled air blow-through, and to improve the controllability of the wind direction.

  Furthermore, in the above-described air conditioner according to the present invention, the flap is a flap in which two flaps, a wide upper flap and a narrow lower flap, are coupled in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval. The front end side of the upper flap is rotatably supported on the other end side of the link via the first support shaft, and the rear end side of the lower flap is supported on the guide via the second support shaft. It is characterized by being slidably supported on the path.

  According to the present invention, the flap is an integrated flap in which two flaps of a wide upper flap and a narrow lower flap are coupled in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval, and the front end side of the upper flap is the first flap side. Since it is rotatably supported on the other end side of the link via one support shaft, and the rear end side of the lower flap is slidably supported on the guide path via the second support shaft, the upper and lower sides 2 The upper flap and the lower flap of the sheet are supported by the link and the guide path via the first support shaft and the second support shaft in a parallel state, and the upper blowing position and the lower blowing position are determined according to the rotation angle of the link. By rotating between them, it is possible to adjust the wind direction of the temperature-controlled air with the upper and lower flaps. Therefore, it is possible to reliably blow the temperature-controlled air in the target direction, and the accuracy of adjusting the air direction can be further improved.

  Further, the present invention is the above air conditioner, wherein the upper flap is flush with the front panel of the air conditioner when the upper flap is turned to a vertically downward position via the link, and the outlet is closed. It is made possible.

  According to the present invention, when the upper flap is turned to the vertically downward position via the link, it is flush with the front panel of the air conditioner and the outlet can be closed. When the operation is stopped, the motor can close the air outlet by rotating the link and the flap through the rotation shaft into the air passage of the air outlet and rotating the upper flap to the vertically downward position. . Therefore, when the operation of the air conditioner is stopped, the air outlet can be closed by the flap, so that the design can be improved and the entry of dust and the like into the air outlet can be prevented.

  Furthermore, the present invention is characterized in that, in any of the above air conditioners, the guide path is a smooth curved guide path along the vertical direction.

  According to the present invention, since the guide path is a smooth curved guide path along the vertical direction, the front end side in the width direction of the flap is rotatably supported on the other end of the link when adjusting the wind direction. The first support shaft moves on a circular locus having a radius of the link, and the second support shaft that slidably supports the rear end side in the width direction of the flap in accordance with the movement is moved vertically. By sliding on a smooth curved guide path, the flap can be smoothly rotated while being regulated to a required angle by both support shafts. Therefore, while the support shaft that rotatably supports the flap can be moved, a wind direction adjusting device that does not require complicated links, gear trains, cams, etc., is smoothly movable and has a simple configuration. be able to.

  Furthermore, in the air conditioner according to any one of the above-described aspects, the guide path may be configured such that when the flap is at a maximum upper blowing position, the second support shaft is at a lower end position, and the flap is at the blowing position. When the mouth is closed, the second support shaft is a guide path which is an upper end position.

  According to the present invention, when the guide path is in the position where the second support shaft is at the lower end position when the flap is at the maximum upper blowing position, and the flap is at the position where the flap is closed, the second support shaft is Since the guide path is the upper end position, the link is rotated by the motor via the rotation shaft, and when the flap is rotated between the maximum upper outlet position and the position where the outlet is closed, The second support shaft slides between the lower end position and the upper end position along the guide path, so that the flap is controlled at a required angle between the first support shaft and the second support shaft and rotated. Can be made. Therefore, it is possible to always regulate the flap angle to the optimum angle, prevent a decrease in the air volume and blowout of the temperature-controlled air, and adjust the air direction in the target direction.

  Furthermore, in the air conditioner according to any one of the above, the present invention provides a guide path for preventing deflection having the same configuration as the guide path in the length direction of the flap so as to support a support shaft corresponding to the second support shaft. One or more intermediate positions are provided.

  According to the present invention, at least one guide path for bending prevention having the same configuration as the guide path is provided at an intermediate position in the length direction of the flap to support the support shaft corresponding to the second support shaft. Even when the width direction dimension of the outlet is large and the length of the flap is long, at least one guide path for bending prevention is provided at an intermediate position in the length direction of the flap to support the intermediate position of the flap. As a result, it is possible to prevent the flap from being bent. Therefore, the rotation of the flap is not hindered by the deflection of the flap, and the flap can be smoothly rotated and the wind direction can be adjusted.

  According to the present invention, when adjusting the wind direction of the temperature-controlled air, the rotary shaft is rotationally driven by a motor, and a link having one end coupled to the rotary shaft is rotated out of the air path of the outlet, The first support shaft that rotatably supports the front end side of the flap in the width direction on the other end side of the link is allowed to jump out of the air passage of the outlet, and the flap is moved to the first support shaft and the guide path at that position. The flap is supported by the second support shaft that is slid along the axis, and the rotation angle of the flap is regulated between the upper blowing position and the lower blowing position in accordance with the rotation range of the link rotated by the motor. As a result, it is possible to adjust the blowing direction of the temperature-controlled air to an arbitrary direction, so that the flap rotation shaft jumps out of the air passage of the air outlet at the time of the upper air blowing and the lower air blowing, and the flap is at that position. Can be adjusted to the optimum position, narrowing the air path Preventing blow such degradation or temperature-adjusted air of the air volume due to, it is possible to improve the controllability of the wind direction.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view thereof, and FIGS. 3 to 6 are enlarged views at respective outlet positions of the louver. The figure is shown.
The air conditioner 1 includes a unit main body 2 that is a three-dimensional housing whose depth dimension is reduced with respect to a rectangular vertical and horizontal dimension. The inside of the unit main body 2 is partitioned into an upper side and a lower side by a partition wall 3, and the upper side is an indoor unit 4 and the lower side is an outdoor unit 5.

  The upper surface of the unit main body 2 constituting the indoor unit 4 is provided with an air suction port 7 provided with a suction grill 6 for sucking room air over the entire surface, and is slightly above the front center. Is provided with an air blowing port (blowing port) 8 over substantially the entire length in the horizontal direction. An air passage 9 is formed in the indoor unit 4 to guide the indoor air sucked from the air suction port 7 to the air blowing port 8. The air passage 9 has a prefilter 10, an air purifier from the upstream side. A filter 11, an indoor heat exchanger 12, and an indoor fan (cross flow fan) 13 are sequentially provided.

  The indoor heat exchanger 12 is divided into a plurality of parts and is arranged so that the cross-section has a substantially Λ shape, and an indoor fan (cross flow fan) 13 is arranged so as to face the inner space. ing. Drain pans 14 and 15 are disposed at the lower end of the indoor heat exchanger 12 having a substantially Λ shape, respectively. In addition, a plurality of louvers 16 that adjust the direction of the blowing air in the left-right direction and two upper and lower flaps 17 that adjust in the up-down direction move back and forth in the blowing direction, and the louver 16 is located upstream. In the state where the flaps 17 are arranged on the downstream side, they are arranged so as to be rotatable.

  In many cases, the support shafts of the left and right ends of the flap 17 are provided rotatably in the air passage 9 of the air outlet 8. In this embodiment, the support shaft of the flap 17 is connected via a link as follows. The air outlet 8 can be moved outside the air passage 9. That is, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the left and right ends of the air passage 9 of the air outlet 8 are rotationally driven by a stepping motor (not shown) (hereinafter simply referred to as a motor). A rotary shaft 20 is provided, and one end of a pair of left and right links 21 is coupled to the rotary shaft 20, and first support shafts 22 provided at the left and right ends of the flap 17 are rotated on the other end side of the link 21. The structure is supported freely.

  The flap 17 has two upper and lower flaps of a wide upper flap 17A and a slightly narrow lower flap 17B along the length direction of the air outlet 8 provided in the horizontal direction. They are coupled in parallel with each other at an interval to form an integrated structure. The front end side in the width direction of the upper flap 17A is rotatably supported on the other end side of the pair of left and right links 21 via the first support shaft 22, so that the first support is accompanied with the rotation of the link 21. The front end side in the width direction of the shaft 22 and the flap 17 is moved to the outside of the air passage 9 of the air outlet 8 and is rotatable at the outside position.

  On the other hand, a second support shaft 23 is provided on the rear end side in the width direction of both the left and right ends of the lower flap 17B of the flap 17, and the second support shaft 23 extends along the vertical direction of the air discharge port 8. The eight air passages 9 are slidably supported by guide passages 24 provided at both left and right end portions. The guide path 24 includes a smooth curved guide path 24A along the vertical direction, and supports the second support shaft 23 of the flap 17 slidably between the lower end end position and the upper end end position of the curved guide path 24A. Is.

  As described above, the flap 17 is supported such that the front end side in the width direction of the upper flap 17A is rotatably supported on the other end side of the link 21 via the first support shaft 22, and the rear side in the width direction of the lower flap 17B. The end side is slidably supported along the smooth curved guide path 24A of the guide path 24 via the second support shaft 23, and the first support shaft 22 rotates around the rotation shaft 20 By moving on a circular locus having a radius 21, the air blower 8 is rotated outside the air passage 9, and the rotation angle is slid along the smooth curved guide path 24 </ b> A of the guide path 24. It is configured to be regulated by the moving second support shaft 23.

  The rotation range of the flap 17 is such that when the second support shaft 23 is at the lower end position of the curved guide path 24A, the flap 17 is at the maximum upper blowing position as shown in FIG. Is rotated downward, the maximum air volume blowing position shown in FIG. 3, the lower blowing position shown in FIG. 5, and the second support shaft 23 is the upper end position of the curved guide path 24A, As shown in FIG. 6, the flap 17 can be rotated within a range where the air outlet 8 is closed.

  The flap 17 has the second support shaft 23 at the upper end position of the curved guide path 24A, and the upper flap 17A has an air outlet 2 by a link 21 rotated by a motor as shown in FIG. When it is turned to a vertically downward position that closes the unit 2, it is substantially flush with the front panel 2 </ b> A of the unit body 2, and the air outlet 2 is in a closed state.

  Further, since the flap 17 has a length corresponding to the dimension in the width direction of the outlet 8, when only the left and right end portions are supported, bending occurs at an intermediate portion, and the smooth rotation of the flap 17 is obstructed. There is a fear. Therefore, at least one guide path 25 for preventing deflection (see FIG. 2) having the same configuration as that of the guide path 24 is provided at an intermediate position in the length direction of the flap 17, and the second support shaft 23 provided on the flap 17 side is provided. A corresponding spindle (not shown) is supported by the guide path 25 for preventing deflection. Needless to say, the guide path 25 for preventing deflection may be provided at two or more intermediate positions according to the length of the flap 17.

With the configuration described above, according to the present embodiment, the following operational effects can be obtained.
When the air conditioner 1 is operated, the indoor fan 13 is rotated so that indoor air is sucked from the air suction port 7 through the grill 6 and the filters 10 and 11, and the refrigerant is passed through the indoor heat exchanger 12. After the heat exchange and the temperature adjustment, the air is blown out into the room through the air passage 9 from the air blowing port 8 in the direction adjusted by the louver 16 and the flap 17 and used for the room temperature adjustment.

  At this time, the direction of the temperature-controlled air blown into the room is determined by changing the angle of the louvers 16 arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 8 with respect to the left-right direction via a stepping motor (not shown). It can be adjusted by rotating in any direction. For the vertical direction, a flap 17 composed of two upper and lower flaps 17A, 17B provided along the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 8 is provided. The rotation shaft 20 is rotated by a motor (not shown), the link 21 is rotated around the rotation shaft 20, and the position between the maximum upper blowing position shown in FIG. 4 and the air blowing port 8 shown in FIG. 6 is closed. Thus, it can be adjusted by rotating to an arbitrary position.

  When the wind direction is adjusted, the flap 17 is moved to a position where the first support shaft 22, which is the rotation support shaft, protrudes outward from the air passage 9 of the air outlet 8 by the rotation of the link 21. It is rotated at the moving position. That is, when the rotating shaft 20 is rotated by the motor and the link 21 is rotated to an upper position close to a substantially horizontal state, as shown in FIG. 4, the second support shaft 23 is at the lower end of the curved guide path 24A. The flap 17 is turned to the maximum upper blowing position, and operates so that the temperature direction of the temperature-controlled wind blown out from the air blowing port 8 toward the room is changed upward.

  A position where the link 21 is rotated slightly downward from the maximum upper blowing position is shown in FIG. This position is a position where the flap 17 is in a substantially horizontal state, and the temperature-controlled air blown from the indoor fan 13 does not change the direction of the wind by the flap 17, and goes directly to the indoor side along the air passage 9. Since it is blown out, it becomes the maximum air volume blowing position. At this position, the second support shaft 23 slides upward in the curved guide path 24A from the lower end position to restrict the angle of the flap 17 to the above-described substantially horizontal position. Of course, the flap 17 can adjust the wind direction in an arbitrary direction between the maximum air volume blowing position and the above-described maximum upper blowing position.

  When the link 21 is further rotated downward from the maximum air volume blowing position shown in FIG. 3, the flap 17 is set to the lower blowing position shown in FIG. At this position, the second support shaft 23 is set to a substantially intermediate position between the lower end end position and the upper end end position of the curved guide path 24A, the angle of the flap 17 is restricted to the downward position, and the direction of the temperature-controlled wind is controlled. It changes to face down and acts to blow out indoors. The downward angle of the flap 17 can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle by appropriately rotating the link 21 upward or downward from the position shown in FIG.

  In this manner, the first support shaft 22 that is the rotation support shaft of the flap 17 is caused to jump out of the air passage 9 of the blowout port 8 at the time of the upper blowing and the lower blowing, and the rotation angle of the flap 17 is set at that position. By adjusting to the optimum position, the wind direction can be changed to an arbitrary direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the air volume due to the narrowing of the air passage 9 and a blowout of the temperature-controlled air, and to improve the controllability of the air direction.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the flap 17 rotates the link 21 to a vertically downward position by a motor and sets the second support shaft 23 to the upper end end position of the curved guide path 24 </ b> A. The upper flap 17 </ b> A is substantially flush with the front panel 2 </ b> A of the unit main body 2. This position is a position in which the air outlet 8 is closed by the flap 17, whereby when the air conditioner 1 stops operation, the air outlet 2 can be closed by the flap 17. Intrusion of dust or the like into the inside 8 can be prevented.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the wind direction adjusting flap 17 provided at the air outlet 8 has one end on the rotary shaft 20 driven by the motor at the front end side in the width direction at both ends in the length direction. Is connected to the other end of the link 21 via the first support shaft 22, and the rear end of the flap 17 in the width direction is provided along the vertical direction of the outlet 8. The guide path 24 is slidably supported via the second support shaft 23.

  For this reason, when adjusting the blowing direction of the temperature-controlled air, the rotating shaft 20 is rotated by a motor, and the link 21 having one end coupled to the rotating shaft 20 is rotated outward of the air passage 9 of the air outlet 8. By moving, the first support shaft 22 that pivotally supports the front end side in the width direction of the flap 17 on the other end side of the link 21 is caused to jump out of the air passage 9 of the outlet 8 and at that position. The flap 17 is supported by the first support shaft 22 and the second support shaft 23 that is slid along the guide path 24, and the flap 17 is moved upward according to the rotation range of the link 21 rotated by the motor. By restricting the rotation angle between the lower air outlet position and the lower air outlet position, it is possible to adjust the air blowing direction of the temperature-controlled air in an arbitrary direction.

  As a result, the first support shaft 22 that is the rotation support shaft of the flap 17 jumps out of the air passage 9 of the blowout port 8 at the time of both the upper blowing and the lower blowing, and the rotation angle of the flap 17 is optimized at that position. It can be adjusted to the position, and it is possible to prevent a decrease in the air volume due to the narrowing of the air passage 9 and blow-off of the temperature-controlled air, and improve the controllability of the air direction.

  Further, the flap 17 is a flap in which two upper and lower flaps of a wide upper flap 17A and a narrow lower flap 17B are joined in parallel with each other at a predetermined interval, and the front end side of the upper flap 17A is the first flap side. The lower end of the lower flap 17B is slidably supported by the guide path 24 via the second support shaft 23 while being supported rotatably on the other end of the link 21 via the first support shaft 22. Yes.

  For this reason, the upper flap 17A and the lower flap 17B of the two sheets are supported by the link 21 and the guide path 24 via the first support shaft 22 and the second support shaft 23 while being in a parallel state. Accordingly, by rotating between the upper blowing position and the lower blowing position, the direction of the temperature-controlled wind can be adjusted by the two upper and lower flaps 17A and 17B. Therefore, it is possible to reliably blow the temperature-controlled air in the target direction, and the accuracy of adjusting the air direction can be further improved.

  Further, the upper flap 17A is flush with the front panel 2A when the upper flap 17A is rotated to the vertically downward position via the link 21, and the air outlet 8 can be closed. For this reason, when the operation of the air conditioner 1 is stopped, the link 21 and the flap 17 are rotated into the air passage 9 of the air outlet 8 via the rotating shaft 20 by the motor, and the upper flap 17A is set to the vertically downward position. By rotating, the air outlet 8 can be closed. Therefore, when the air conditioner 1 stops its operation, the air outlet 8 can be closed by the flap 17, so that the design can be improved and the entry of dust and the like into the air outlet 8 is prevented. be able to.

  Further, the guide path 24 that supports the second support shaft 23 is a smooth curved guide path 24A along the vertical direction. For this reason, when the wind direction is adjusted, the first support shaft 22 that rotatably supports the width direction front end side of the flap 17 on the other end of the link 21 moves on a circular locus with the link 21 as a radius. As the second support shaft 23 slidably supports the rear end side in the width direction of the flap 17 as it moves, the second support shaft 23 slides on a smooth curved guide path 24A along the vertical direction, thereby allowing the flap to move. The shaft 17 can be smoothly rotated by being regulated to a required angle by both the support shafts 22 and 23. Therefore, while the support shafts 22 and 23 that rotatably support the flap 17 can be moved, a wind direction that does not require complicated links, gear trains, cams, etc., is smooth and has a simple configuration. It can be an adjusting device.

  Further, the guide path 24 is configured such that when the flap 17 is at the maximum upper blowing position, the second spindle 23 is at the lower end position, and when the flap 17 is at the position closing the outlet 8, 23 is configured as an upper end position, the link 21 is rotated by the motor via the rotary shaft 20, and the flap 17 is rotated between the maximum upper outlet position and the position where the outlet 8 is closed. When the second support shaft 23 slides between the lower end position and the upper end position along the guide path 24, the flap 17 is moved between the first support shaft 22 and the second support shaft 23. It can be rotated by being regulated to a required angle. Therefore, the angle of the flap 17 can always be regulated to the optimum angle to prevent a decrease in the air volume and blowout of the temperature-controlled air, and the air direction can be adjusted in the target direction.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the guide path 25 for preventing deflection having the same configuration as the guide path 24 is an intermediate position in the length direction of the flap 17 so as to support a spindle (not shown) corresponding to the second spindle 23. One or more locations are provided. For this reason, even when the widthwise dimension of the outlet 8 is large and the length of the flap 17 is long, at least one guide path 25 for preventing deflection is provided at an intermediate position in the lengthwise direction of the flap 17, By supporting the intermediate position of the flap 17, it is possible to prevent the flap 17 from being bent. Therefore, the rotation of the flap 17 is not hindered by the bending of the flap 17, and the flap 17 can be smoothly rotated to adjust the wind direction.

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the invention concerning the said embodiment, In the range which does not deviate from the summary, it can change suitably. For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to the integrated floor-standing air conditioner 1 has been described. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the air conditioner having such a configuration. Of course, it can be similarly applied to an air conditioner such as a conditioner, a wall-mounted type, a ceiling-mounted type, or the like.
