Air conditioner

Abstract

An air conditioner is disclosed. Herein, the air conditioner can maintain the ambient air of a specific space (or area) to a pleasant state by adequately adjusting the temperature, humidity, and air current distribution within the corresponding space to allow people to pleasantly carry out their everyday activities. Since unwanted insects can be repelled or eliminated by using ultrasonic waves that do not contaminate the indoor air, the air conditioner can protect the human body from unwanted insects or pests while maintaining the air within the indoor space to a clean state. Also, carbon dioxide and specific light rays preferred by mosquitoes are used to attract unwanted insects into the main body, thereby eliminating the attracted insects by using ultrasonic waves. Thus, unwanted insects and, more particularly, mosquitoes existing in the room that is to be air-conditioned may be quickly eliminated.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an air conditioner that can maintain the ambient air of a specific space (or area) to a pleasant state by adequately adjusting the temperature, humidity, and air current distribution within the corresponding space (or area) to allow people to pleasantly carry out their everyday activities.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Generally, an air conditioner maintains the atmosphere (or ambient air) of a particular space (or area) to a pleasant state by performing cooling and heating function, wherein the air conditioner uses boiling heat or condensation heat of a refrigerant to transfer a cool (or low-temperature) heat source to a heated (or high-temperature) heat source, or to transfer a heated (or high-temperature) heat source to a cool (or low-temperature) heat source, an air purifying (or cleaning) function, wherein the air conditioner purifies (or cleans) polluted air to send out fresh and clean air, and an air circulating function, wherein the...

Benefits of technology

[0013]As described above, the air conditioner according to the present invention can protect the human body from unwanted insects or pests while maintaining the air within the indoor space to a clean state.

Problems solved by technology

At this point, when an insect (or pest) enters the closed space from the outside, the insect may pollute (or contaminate) the indoor environment, thereby causing disease or illness to be spread among the people sharing the corresponding space.

However, when using insect repellants or extermination products, such as pesticides or insecticides, in order to repel such insects including mosquitoes, the indoor air (or atmosphere) may be contaminated (or polluted) with the same insect-repellant, thereby decreasing the cleaning (or purifying) efficiency of the air conditioner.

On the other hand, when no other separate insect repelling products are used, the insects may contaminate the indoor atmosphere by spreading the diseases they are carrying.

And, in this case, when the air conditioner is turned off, impurities, such as dust or water, may flow into the insect repelling unit, thereby damaging the air conditioner.

Also, due to the additional structure of the insect repelling unit, the outside features of the air conditioner may seem more complex.
