Air conditioner

Abstract

An air conditioner is provided with: a case having a suction port formed in the rear surface thereof and a front discharge port formed in the front surface thereof; a heat exchanger that exchanges heat between the air flowing into the suction port and the refrigerant; an air supply fan which has a rotation axis extending from the front surface of the box body to the back surface of the box body, and which sucks in the heat-exchanged air; a discharge guide having a front discharge port formed at the front end thereof and having a discharge flow path formed therein for guiding the air discharged from the blower fan to the front discharge port; and a front door portion provided between the forefront position and the rearmost position so as to be movable in a direction parallel to the rotation axis, the outer peripheral surface of the front door portion forming the discharge flow path together with the discharge guide having a first inclined surface, the first inclined surface gradually rising toward the front in the direction parallel to the rotation axis, and the first inclined surface gradually rising toward the rear in the direction parallel to the rotation axis. When the front door part moves to the forefront position, a part of the first inclined surface protrudes to the outer side of the box body through the front discharge port.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air conditioner provided with a front door that opens and closes a front discharge port while moving in the front-rear direction, and more specifically, relates to a protrusion capable of opening and closing the front door when a front-directed airflow is formed. An air conditioner whose output is kept to a minimum. Background technique [0002] In general, an air conditioner refers to a refrigeration cycle that uses a refrigerant composed of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion mechanism, and an evaporator to cool and heat the room or purify the air in order to provide users with a more comfortable indoor environment. device. [0003] The indoor unit of the air conditioner can be divided into ceiling type, wall-mounted type and vertical type according to the installation position. In the vertical indoor unit, the discharge port may be formed on the front or side of the case, and the suction port may be formed o...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] As mentioned above, since the front panel protrudes excessively, the support structure that supports the front panel in a reciprocating manner becomes unstable, and in order to further support the front panel, it is necessary to use a material with higher rigidity, so the manufacturing cost is unavoidable. Dramatic increase

[0012] In addition, due to the excessive protrusion of the front panel, the opening of the front outlet is inevitably too large, so the internal structure of the indoor unit is inevitably over-exposed through the front outlet, which may cause psychological and aesthetic anxiety to users
