The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to an air conditioner that allows air to be sucked into the bottom of an air conditioner and facilitates mounting and detachment of a filter.

In general, an air conditioner uses a refrigeration cycle of a refrigerant consisting of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator to create a more comfortable indoor environment for a user. do.

The separate type and the integrated type are functionally the same, but the separate type connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit separated by the refrigerant pipes by installing the cooling / heating unit in the indoor unit and the heat radiating / cooling and compression unit in the outdoor unit, and the integrated type by cooling heat dissipation. Integrate the function of the hole in the wall of the house or hang the device on the window is installed directly.

6 to 9, the indoor unit of the conventional split type air conditioner includes a base 101, a cabinet 102 disposed longitudinally longer on an upper side of the base 101 and an open front surface thereof, It is coupled to the front surface of the cabinet 102, the front air outlet 104a and the upper side air outlets 104b and 104c are formed on both sides, and the air inlets 104d and 104e are formed on both sides of the lower side, respectively. It includes a front panel 104 formed, a blower 120 provided in the lower portion between the cabinet 102 and the front panel 104, and a heat exchanger 130 provided on the upper side of the blower 120.

The base 101 is coupled to the cabinet 102 and the front panel 104 to support the indoor unit, and has a predetermined height and a circumferential surface is blocked.

On the other hand, the front panel 104 is installed in the front and rear drive panel 110 in the front and rear of the front panel 104 so as to open and close the air discharge port (104a), the vertical drive panel 110 In order to eliminate the step between the front panel 104 and the up and down drive panel 110 when the rise of the front and rear drive panel 112 is installed on the front of the front panel 104 to be retracted, the side air outlet 104b Left and right vanes 114 and 116 are provided on both sides of the front panel 104 so as to open and close the front and back sides 104c and to control the wind direction of the air discharged through the side air outlets 104b and 104c. It is mounted rotatably.

Left and right suction grilles 107 and 108 for protecting the suction ports 104d and 104e are mounted between the side ends of the cabinet 102 and the lower part of the cabinet 102 so as to be opened and closed.

An air filter 109 is mounted on the rear surface of each of the left and right suction grills 107 and 108 so that foreign matters in the air passing through the air suction ports 104d and 104e can be filtered.

Meanwhile, left and right electrostatic precipitators 121 ionizing and collecting foreign substances in the air passing through the left and right suction grills 107 and 108 and the air filter 109 on both sides of the front part of the blower 120. 122 is disposed.

When the indoor unit of the conventional air conditioner configured as described above is driven by the blower 120, the indoor air is sucked into the indoor unit through the left and right suction grills 107 and 108 and the air filter 109. The foreign materials, such as dust, are ionized and collected while passing through the left and right electrostatic precipitators 121 and 122, and are blown by the blower 120 to the heat exchanger 130.

The air blown by the heat exchanger 130 is cooled / heated by heat exchange with a refrigerant and then discharged back into the room through the front air outlet 104a, the left air outlet 104b, and the right air outlet 104c. Cool / heat up.

However, since the base 101 of the air conditioner according to the prior art only serves to support the cabinet 102 and the front panel 104 and does not suck the indoor air, more rapid cooling / heating / purification is realized. There is a problem that there is a limit to follow, and a limit to improve air purification performance.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the purpose of providing an air conditioner that can improve the air purification performance can be equipped with a filter to help the air conditioning more quickly by sucking the indoor air. have.

The air conditioner according to the present invention for solving the above problems is the air consisting of a curved surface portion formed to be curved between the left, right vertical portion and the left and right vertical portion vertically formed so that the air is sucked to the front and guided upward A base having a suction guide formed therein and a filter detachable guide formed at the air suction guide; And a filter detachably attached to the filter detachment guide to purify the air guided to the air intake guide.
