Abstract
An air-processing apparatus is provided. The air-processing apparatus may include a case having an outlet formed therein, a louver rotatably disposed in the case and configured to adjust a direction of air flowing through the outlet, and a louver actuator configured to adjust an orientation of the louver. The louver may include a louver rotational shaft and a plurality of vanes spaced apart from each other in a radial direction based on the louver rotational shaft. The louver actuator may be disposed so as to be in contact with a vane located at an outermost position among the plurality of vanes to change an orientation of the louver.
Claims16
An air-processing apparatus, comprising:
- a case having an outlet formed therein;
- a louver assembly rotatably disposed in the case, the louver assembly being configured to adjust a direction of air flowing through the outlet;
- and
- a louver actuator configured to adjust an orientation of the louver assembly, wherein the louver assembly comprises a louver rotational shaft and a plurality of vanes spaced apart from each other in a radial direction based on the louver rotational shaft, and wherein the louver rotational shaft extends along a rotational center of the louver assembly, wherein the plurality of vanes comprises:
- an outer vane spaced outwards apart from the louver rotational shaft in the radial direction;
- and
- a plurality of inner vanes disposed between the louver rotational shaft and the outer vane so as to be spaced apart from each other in the radial direction, wherein a vane gear is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the outer vane in a circumferential direction, and wherein the louver actuator is engaged with the vane gear to rotate the louver assembly.
