Air conditioner

An air conditioner comprising:

• a cabinet configured to define an outer appearance of the air conditioner;
• a front panel coupled to the cabinet and having an intake hole and at least one discharge hole;
• a fan assembly positioned within the cabinet and configured to guide a flow of air in the cabinet;
• an intake panel movably coupled to the front panel and configured to move to open or close the intake hole in response to a control signal;
• and
• at least one noise reducing part positioned between the intake panel and the front panel and configured to reduce a noise having at least one frequency bandwidth, the at least noise reducing part being coupled to the intake panel,
• wherein the intake panel is spaced apart from the front panel to open the intake hole;
• wherein an intake passage for air flow is defined between an outer surface of the front panel and an outer surface of the intake panel when the intake panel is moved to a position in which the intake panel is spaced apart from the front panel;
• wherein the air passes through the intake passage without passing through the intake panel,
• wherein the at least one noise reducing part comprises a noise reducing chamber and a connection passage configured to pass noise generated in the cabinet to the noise reducing chamber;
• and
• wherein the noise reducing chamber is formed at the intake panel and the connection passage is formed at the at least one noise reducing part, the connection passage passes through the at least one noise reducing part.

• an intake panel movably coupled to the front panel and configured to move to open or close the intake hole in response to a control signal;
• and
• at least one noise reducing part positioned in the intake panel and configured to reduce a noise having at least one frequency bandwidth,
• wherein the intake panel is spaced apart from the front panel to open the intake hole,
• wherein the intake panel comprises a first panel, and a second panel coupled to an upper portion of the first panel,
• wherein an outer surface of the front panel and an outer surface of the intake panel defines at least a portion of an intake passage for air flow when the intake panel is spaced apart from the front panel,
• wherein the air conditioner is configured such that the air passes through the intake passage without passing through the intake panel,
• wherein the at least one noise reducing part comprises a noise reducing chamber and a connection passage configured to pass noise generated in the cabinet to the noise reducing chamber, and
• wherein the connection passage is configured to pass through the second panel.
