Will rotate. When the motor 42 is driven to rotate the pinion gear 43 as described above, the rack gear 31 geared with the pinion gear 43 moves downward, so that the front grill 30 moves downward. At this time, the guide protrusion 52 is guided by the guide groove 51, when the guide protrusion 52 is caught on the lower end of the guide groove 51, the front grill 30 is no longer able to move downward.

이와 같이 전면그릴(30)이 하측으로 이동하면 전면패널(20)의 전면에 형성된 필터삽입구(26)는 개방되므로 사용자는 필터삽입구(26)를 통해 필터(22)를 꺼내어 청소한 후 다시 필터삽입구(26)를 통해 장착한다.When the front grill 30 moves downward in this way, the filter insertion hole 26 formed at the front of the front panel 20 is opened, so the user takes out the filter 22 through the filter insertion hole 26 and cleans it, and then again the filter insertion hole. Mount through (26).

필터(22)를 다시 장착한 다음, 리모컨에 마련된 필터교환스위치를 누르면 모터(42)는 시계방향으로 회전하여 전면그릴(30)은 상측으로 이동하게 된다. 전면그릴(30)이 상측으로 이동할 때 안내돌기(52)가 안내홈(51)에 의해 안내되는데, 안내돌기(52)가 안내홈(51)의 상단에 걸리게 되면 전면그릴(30)은 더 이상 상측으로 이동할 수 없게 되어 닫힌 상태를 유지하고 전면그릴(30)은 필터삽입구(26)를 폐쇄된다.After the filter 22 is mounted again, the filter replacement switch provided in the remote controller is pressed, and the motor 42 rotates clockwise so that the front grill 30 moves upward. When the front grill 30 moves upward, the guide protrusion 52 is guided by the guide groove 51. When the guide protrusion 52 is caught on the top of the guide groove 51, the front grill 30 is no longer. It is unable to move upwards to maintain a closed state and the front grill 30 closes the filter insertion hole 26.

이상에서 상세히 설명한 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 공기조화기에 의하면 사 용자는 리모컨의 간단한 리모컨 조작만으로 전면그릴을 자동으로 개폐할 수 있으므로 전면그릴을 용이하게 개폐할 수 있다.As described in detail above, according to the air conditioner according to the present invention, the user can easily open and close the front grille by opening and closing the front grille by simply operating the remote control.

또한, 전면그릴은 랙기어 및 피니언기어의 결합력 뿐만 아니라, 안내장치에 의해서도 지지되므로 전면그릴을 보다 안정적으로 지지할 수 있다.In addition, the front grill is supported by the guide device as well as the coupling force of the rack gear and the pinion gear, so that the front grill can be more stably supported.
