Abstract
An air conditioner is provided that may include a cabinet in which a suction port and a discharge port are respectively formed; a fan that is disposed inside of the cabinet and blows air from the suction port to the discharge port; a heat exchanger that is disposed inside of the cabinet and exchanges heat with flowing air; and a vane module having at least one horizontal vane that is rotated in a direction perpendicular to the discharge port and guides air flowing through the discharge port, and at least one vertical vane that is rotated in a direction horizontal to the discharge port and guides air flowing through the discharge port.
Claims17
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a cabinet in which a suction port and a discharge port are respectively formed;
- a fan that is disposed inside of the cabinet and blows air from the suction port to the discharge port;
- a heat exchanger that is disposed inside of the cabinet and exchanges heat with flowing air;
- and
- a vane module having at least one horizontal vane that is rotated in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the discharge port extends and guides air flowing through the discharge port, and at least one vertical vane that is rotated in a direction horizontal to the discharge port and guides air flowing through the discharge port, wherein the vane module is detachably fastened to the discharge port of the cabinet, wherein the vane module further comprises a first hook that protrudes forward from a front surface thereof, wherein the cabinet further comprises a first hook groove configured to receive the first hook hooked therein, wherein the first hook comprises a first hook head which is bent downward from a front end and extends therefrom, wherein the vane module further comprises a second hook groove formed by recessing a rear surface of the vane module downward from an upper end, and wherein the cabinet further comprises a second hook that protrudes downward to be hooked into the second hook groove.
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a cabinet in which a suction port and a discharge port are respectively formed;
- a fan that is disposed inside of the cabinet and blows air from the suction port to the discharge port;
- a heat exchanger that is disposed inside of the cabinet and exchanges heat with flowing air;
- and
- a vane module having at least one horizontal vane that is rotated in a direction perpendicular to a direction in which the discharge port extends and guides air flowing through the discharge port, and at least one vertical vane that is rotated in a direction horizontal to the discharge port and guides air flowing through the discharge port, wherein the vane module is detachably fastened to the discharge port of the cabinet, and wherein the vane module further comprises a fastening guide, a portion of a lower end of a rear surface of which protrudes rearward and guides a fastening of the vane module, and wherein the cabinet further comprises a fastening guide groove recessed to receive the fastening guide portion seated therein.
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a cabinet in which a suction port and a discharge flow path are respectively formed;
- a fan that is disposed inside of the cabinet and blows air from the suction port to the discharge flow path;
- a heat exchanger that is disposed inside of the cabinet and exchanges heat with flowing air;
- a first vane that is rotated to guide air flowing through the discharge flow path;
- and
- a second vane that is disposed upstream of the first vane and rotated to guide air flowing through the discharge flow path, wherein the discharge flow path comprises:
- a first discharge portion in which the second vane is disposed;
- and
- a second discharge portion that is formed downstream of the first discharge portion and wider than the first discharge portion in a predetermined direction, and in which the first vane is disposed, and wherein the air conditioner further comprises at least one spreader which is disposed in the first discharge portion and inclined to be adjacent one end side of ends of the first discharge portion in a predetermined direction, further comprising a fastening guide, a portion of a lower end of a rear surface of which protrudes rearward and guides a fastening of the first vane and the second vane, and wherein the cabinet further comprises a fastening guide groove recessed to receive the fastening guide portion seated therein.
An air conditioner, comprising:
- a cabinet in which a suction port and a discharge are respectively formed;
- a fan that is disposed inside of the cabinet and blows air from the suction port to the discharge;
- a heat exchanger that is disposed inside of the cabinet and exchanges heat with flowing air;
- and
- a vane module having a plurality of horizontal vanes that is rotated about a horizontally extending axis and guides air flowing through the discharge, and a plurality of vertical vanes that is rotated about a vertically extending axis and guides air flowing through the discharge, wherein the plurality of horizontal vanes comprises:
- a first vane disposed at a lower end portion of the discharge;
- and
- a second vane disposed upstream of the first vane, wherein the vane module is detachably fastened to the discharge of the cabinet, wherein the vane module further comprises a first hook that protrudes forward from a front surface thereof, wherein the cabinet further comprises a first hook groove configured to receive the first hook hooked therein, wherein the first hook comprises a first hook head which is bent downward from a front end and extends therefrom, wherein the vane module further comprises a second hook groove formed by recessing a rear surface of the vane module downward from an upper end, and wherein the cabinet further comprises a second hook that protrudes downward to be hooked into the second hook groove.
