Air conditioning apparatus

Abstract

An air conditioner is provided to easily manufacture an air conditioner while reducing manufacturing cost by reducing the number of components for forming an inner passage. A main body has discharge ports(18) formed at upper parts of both sides and suction ports(17) formed at lower parts of both sides and is formed by combining a front panel with a rear panel(12). A heat exchanger(14) is installed inside the main body on the slant in a forward-and-backward direction, separated from the suction ports. A blower(20) for air-conditioning is installed inside the main body above the heat exchanger. The blower for air-conditioning includes a centrifugal fan(21), a fan casing(23) covering the circumference of the blower, and a discharge air guide part(24) formed with the fan casing to guide air discharged from an outlet of the fan casing toward the discharge ports, wherein the outlet is combined with the discharge ports.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to air conditioning devices, and more particularly to such an air conditioning device that performs an air cleaning function and has a structure capable of reducing the thickness of the air conditioning device, and is advantageous in that the manufacturing process is simplified by simplifying the structure of the air conditioning device And the manufacturing cost is reduced. Background technique [0002] As described in Korean Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-0028971, a conventional air conditioner is placed indoors in an upright state. A conventional air conditioner has a heat exchanger that transfers heat between indoor air and refrigerant, and a blower that blows the air. The conventional air conditioner also has an air outlet provided at an upper front portion of its case to exhaust indoor air, and an air inlet provided at a lower front portion of its case to receive indoor air. The conventional air conditioner al...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, the conventional air conditioner has a problem that the manufacturing process is complicated, lowering the productivity and increasing the manufacturing cost, since a plurality of parts defining the flow paths in the casing must be produced separately and installed in the casing of the air conditioning apparatus

[0006] Although the traditional air conditioning device performs the functions of air conditioning and air purification at the same time, when air purification is required, only air purification cannot be performed independently, because the air purifier is installed around the air inlet of the housing, and the indoor air is sucked in into the shell
