Benefits of technology

The present invention is a monolithic air conditioner that solves problems in the related art. It has an improved rear structure that increases the intake area of outdoor air and secures the stability of the air conditioner. The air conditioner has a fan assembly that introduces indoor and outdoor air, a base that guides the outdoor air, and a covering member that guides the outdoor air to the outdoor heat exchanger. This results in increased efficiency and decreased resistance of the outdoor air intake. Overall, the invention provides a more stable and efficient air conditioner.

Problems solved by technology

Meanwhile, since the outdoor heat exchanger 13 is directly exposed to the outside, it is dangerous for the careless children to contact with the outdoor heat exchanger 13.
Compared with the case where the blocking member such as the louver grill 31 is mounted, the case where the blocking member is mounted reduces the introduction and exhaust space of the outdoor air and thus the heat exchange efficiency is degraded.
Consequently, the heat exchange efficiency is greatly degraded.
However, since the children are exposed to the danger, the stability problem is incurred.
When the outdoor air intake is exposed to the outside, the children may touch the high temperature compressor and thus have a burn, so that it is very dangerous for them.

Abstract

A monolithic air conditioner includes: a cabinet; an indoor heat exchanger mounted on a front-inner portion of the cabinet; an outdoor heat exchanger mounted on a rear-inner portion of the cabinet; a fan assembly disposed inside the cabinet to introduce indoor air and outdoor air; a base disposed at a lower portion of the cabinet; and a safety cover mounted on an outdoor air intake formed at a rear portion of the cabinet.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a monolithic air conditioner, and more particularly, to a monolithic air conditioner capable of securing the stability of an outdoor air intake and the introduction area of an outdoor air, thereby minimizing the introduction resistance. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Generally, an air conditioner is operated as a refrigerant goes through a cooling cycle having a series of processes such as a compression process, a condensing process, an expanding process, and a vaporizing process. That is, after the refrigerant is compressed to a high temperature and pressure state, heat is discharged to an outer side by a condenser. Then, the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant are lowered as it goes through an expansion valve. Then, the refrigerant goes through the vaporizer to absorb heat and returns to the condenser. The condenser is installed in an indoor unit to absorb ...
