Problems solved by technology

[0007] In the humidifier of prior art 1, since water is evaporated inside the main body, the evaporated water adheres to parts or inner walls inside the main body, causing mold and bacteria to multiply inside the main body.
In addition, the humidifier of prior art 1 also has the following problem. Even if the water evaporates inside the main body and the blower fan is activated, the evaporated water will not be completely discharged into the room by the blower fan. When the temperature of the heat exchanger is low, it will be attached to the surface of the indoor heat exchanger again
[0008] In addition, there is also a problem that when the indoor temperature is low, humidification is usually required during heating because the humidity of the indoor air is low. Provides humidification, so that it can only provide humidification during cooling, and does not generate condensation water during heating, so it cannot provide humidification

Abstract

The present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner and a control method therefor, the indoor unit comprising a humidification module for generating steam, mixing the generated steam with filtered air to generate humidified air, and spraying the humidified air from an outlet through an independent flow path to provide humidified air indoors, wherein a humidification operation is performed during a heating operation according to a smart care mode to discharge humidified air together with heat-exchanged air, frequent turning on and off is prevented by automatically switching between a rapid mode and a comfort mode, thereby saving energy, and discharged air and humidified air are controlled by automatically switching an operation mode according to temperature and humidity, thereby allowing air of which temperature and humidity are adjusted to be effectively supplied.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner and a control method thereof, more specifically, to an indoor unit of an air conditioner capable of supplying humidified air indoors and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The split-type air conditioner is provided with an indoor unit indoors and an outdoor unit outdoors, and can cool, heat, or dehumidify indoor air with refrigerant circulating through the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. [0003] According to the installation mode, the indoor unit of the separate air conditioner includes a vertical indoor unit installed upright on the indoor floor, a wall-mounted indoor unit hung on the indoor wall, and a ceiling-mounted indoor unit installed on the indoor ceiling. [0004] The existing upright indoor units can dehumidify the indoor air during cooling, but cannot dehumidify the indoor air during heating. [0005] A vertical indoor unit provided with a humidify...
