본 발명은 공기조화기에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 사용자가 용이하게 전면그릴을 개폐할 수 있으며 전면그릴이 열린 상태에서도 안정적으로 지지되는 공기조화기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to an air conditioner in which a user can easily open and close the front grill and is stably supported even when the front grill is opened.

대한민국 공개특허공보 2004-41444호에는 벽에 걸 수 있는 벽걸이형 공기조화기의 실내기(이하 ‘공기조화기’라 칭함)가 개시되어 있다. 상기 공기조화기는 전면이 개방된 본체와, 개방된 본체의 전면에 부착되는 전면패널에 의해 대략 박스형상의 외관을 형성한다. 전면패널의 전면에는 실내공기를 본체로 흡입하기 위한 흡입구가 마련된 전면그릴이 개폐 가능하게 결합되어 있다.Korean Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-41444 discloses an indoor unit (hereinafter referred to as an “air conditioner”) of a wall-mounted air conditioner that can be mounted on a wall. The air conditioner forms an approximately box-shaped appearance by a main body having an open front face and a front panel attached to a front face of the open main body. On the front of the front panel, the front grill provided with a suction port for suctioning indoor air to the main body is coupled to open and close.

전면패널의 상단부에는 전면그릴에 마련된 흡입구와 함께 실내공기가 본체로 흡입되는 흡입구가 마련되어 있으며, 전면패널의 하단부에는 열교환기, 송풍팬을 거쳐서 열교환된 공기를 다시 실내공간으로 배출시키기 위한 토출구가 마련되어 있다.On the upper part of the front panel, there is an inlet for intake of indoor air into the main body along with the inlet provided on the front grill.The lower part of the front panel is provided with a discharge port for discharging the heat-exchanged air back to the indoor space through a heat exchanger and a blower fan. have.

한편, 본체에는 전면패널로 흡입되는 공기를 정화하기 위한 필터가 장착되는데, 공기조화기를 사용하다 보면 먼지와 같은 오염물질이 필터에 많이 축적되므로 필터를 본체로부터 분리하여 청소해야 한다.On the other hand, the main body is equipped with a filter for purifying the air sucked into the front panel, when using an air conditioner, since a lot of contaminants such as dust accumulates in the filter, the filter should be separated from the main body and cleaned.

이와 같이 필터를 본체로부터 분리하기 위해 전면그릴을 소정 각도 회동시킨 후 필터를 본체로부터 분리해야 했다. 필터를 분리하기 쉽도록 전면그릴을 소정 각도 회동시키면 전면그릴이 전면패널의 전방을 개방한 상태로 고정되도록 하였다. In this way, in order to separate the filter from the main body, the front grill was rotated by a predetermined angle, and the filter had to be separated from the main body. When the front grill was rotated a predetermined angle to easily remove the filter, the front grill was fixed with the front of the front panel open.

이와 같이 전면그릴이 소정 각도로 개방된 상태로 고정되도록 전면패널에는 힌지부재가 형성되고 흡입그릴에는 결합부재가 형성된다.As such, a hinge member is formed on the front panel and a coupling member is formed on the suction grill so that the front grill is fixed in an open state at a predetermined angle.

그러나, 전면그릴이 개방된 상태로 고정되도록 하기 위해서는 힌지부재가 결합부재에 걸리도록 힘을 가해야 했으므로 전면그릴의 고정동작을 행하는데 있어 불편하였다.However, in order for the front grill to be fixed in an open state, it was inconvenient to perform the fixing operation of the front grill because the hinge member had to be applied to the engaging member.

또한, 근래에는 전면그릴에 장식용 유리 등이 부착됨에 따라 전면그릴의 무게가 무거워지고 있는데, 전면그릴에 작용하는 중력이 힌지부재가 결합부재에 걸리는 힘보다 크게 되면 전면그릴이 다시 닫히게 되는 경우가 발생하였다.In addition, recently, as the decorative glass is attached to the front grille, the weight of the front grille becomes heavy. When the gravity acting on the front grille exceeds the force applied to the hinge member, the front grille may be closed again. It was.

전면그릴(30)이 전면패널(20)의 전면을 개방한 상태로 고정하기 위해 사용자가 전면그릴(30)을 상측으로 밀어 올리면 힌지축(32)은 안내레일(45)에 안내되어 상측으로 이동하게 된다. 이때, 제1결합부(35)는 이동하지 않으나 제2결합부(36)는 상측으로 이동하게 되어, 제2링크부재(42b)가 전면그릴(30)을 전방으로 밀게 된다. When the user pushes the front grill 30 upward to fix the front grill 30 in the open state of the front panel 20, the hinge shaft 32 is guided to the guide rail 45 to move upward. Done. At this time, the first coupling portion 35 does not move, but the second coupling portion 36 moves upward, so that the second link member 42b pushes the front grill 30 forward.

따라서, 전면그릴(30)은 힌지축(32)을 중심으로 회전하게 된다.Thus, the front grill 30 is rotated about the hinge axis (32).

힌지축(32)이 상측으로 이동하여 안내레일(45)의 최상단에 도달한 후 전면그릴(30)의 하부를 후측으로 밀게 되면 힌지축(32)은 걸림부(46)에 걸리게 된다. 이와 같이 전면그릴(30)의 하부는 걸림부(46)에 걸리게 되고, 전면그릴(30)의 중앙부는 링크(42)에 의해 지지되므로 전면그릴(30)은 개방된 상태로 고정된다.When the hinge shaft 32 moves upward to reach the uppermost end of the guide rail 45 and then pushes the lower portion of the front grill 30 to the rear side, the hinge shaft 32 is caught by the locking portion 46. In this way, the lower portion of the front grill 30 is caught by the locking portion 46, and the center portion of the front grill 30 is supported by the link 42, so that the front grill 30 is fixed in an open state.

이와 같이 전면그릴(30)이 개방된 상태에서 안정적으로 고정되므로 사용자는 전면패널(20)의 전면 하측 개방부를 통해 필터(22)를 용이하게 착탈할 수 있다.Since the front grill 30 is stably fixed in the open state as described above, the user can easily detach the filter 22 through the front lower opening of the front panel 20.

이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 공기조화기에 의하면 전면그릴을 상하방향으로 슬라이딩시켜 개폐하므로 사용자가 용이하게 전면그릴을 개 폐할 수 있다.As described above in detail, according to the air conditioner according to the present invention, the front grill is opened and closed by sliding in the vertical direction, so that the user can easily open and close the front grill.

또한, 전면그릴에 형성된 힌지축이 걸림부에 걸림으로써 전면그릴이 열린 상태에서도 안정적으로 지지된다.In addition, the hinge shaft formed on the front grill is securely supported even when the front grill is opened by being caught by the engaging portion.
