Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an air conditioner capable of inducing airflow blown through a blowing port to blow in a substantially horizontal direction. The air conditioner includes a housing including a blowing port, and an airflow guide unit installed in the blowing port to be rotatable about a rotation shaft, wherein the airflow guide unit includes a main blade configured to cover the blowing port, and a pair of sub blades spaced downwardly apart from the main blade and disposed in a flow passage of the blowing port such that outer surfaces thereof are in contact with airflow in the blowing port as a whole, and having different inclination angles.
Claims8
An air conditioner comprising:
- a housing comprising a blowing port;
- and
- an airflow guide unit installed in the blowing port to be rotatable about a rotation shaft,
- wherein the airflow guide unit comprises:
- a pair of main blades configured to be rotatable between a first position for closing the blowing port and a second position for opening the blowing port;
- and
- a pair of sub blades spaced downwardly apart from the main blades and disposed in a flow passage of the blowing port such that outer surfaces thereof are in contact with airflow in the blowing port, and having different inclination angles,
- wherein the main blades comprise a first main blade disposed in the front of the blowing port, and a second main blade disposed in the rear of the first main blade when the main blades are in the second position,
- wherein a rear end of the first main blade is disposed in front of a front end of the second main blade when the main blades are in the second position,
- wherein the sub blades comprise a first sub blade disposed in the blowing port and a second sub blade disposed in the rear of the first sub blade when the main blades are in the second position,
- wherein a rear end of the first sub blade is disposed in front of a front end of the second sub blade when the main blades are in the second position, and
- wherein the first sub blade is disposed to be inclined upward toward the front, and the second sub blade is disposed to be inclined downward toward the front when the main blades are in the second position.
