PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wind direction adjustment mechanism capable of accurately positioning a wind direction adjustment plate to a specific direction even when variations of assembly in a drive mechanism around the wind direction adjustment plate exist, and excellent in designability, and an air conditioner including the wind direction adjustment mechanism.SOLUTION: A wind direction adjustment mechanism includes a wind direction adjustment plate adjusting a wind direction, and a support supporting the wind direction adjustment plate in a rotatable manner. A groove part is formed in at least one of the wind direction adjustment plate and the support, and in the other one, a projection part fitted to the groove part is formed. At a specific position when the wind direction adjustment plate rotates, the groove part and the projection part are fitted to each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 11 【課題】風向調整板まわりの駆動機構における組み付けのばらつきがあっても、風向調整板を特定の方向に正確に位置決めすることを可能にし、意匠性に優れた風向調整機構、及びその風向調整機構を備えた空気調和機を得ることを目的としている。【解決手段】風向を調整する風向調整板と、風向調整板を回動可能に支持する支持体とを備えた風向調整機構であって、風向調整板と支持体の一方には、溝部を形成し、風向調整板と支持体の他方には、溝部に嵌合する突起部を形成し、風向調整板が回動した際の特定の位置にて溝部と突起部とが嵌合する。【選択図】図１１
