Description

Ceiling Type Air Conditioner with LED Lighting Apparatus}

The present invention relates to a ceiling-type air conditioner equipped with an LED lighting device, and more particularly, the air conditioner installed on the ceiling is configured to include not only cooling equipment but also lighting equipment to optimize the utilization of indoor space and as a lighting source of lighting equipment. The present invention relates to a ceiling air conditioner equipped with an LED lighting device that can achieve very effective lighting efficiency using LED lighting.

In general, in an enclosed indoor space such as a home or an office, various types of air conditioners are installed and used as a cooling facility for controlling the temperature and humidity of air uniformly in hot weather.

Conventional air conditioners can be classified into various types according to the structural method installed in a limited indoor space, the most commonly used of them is a stand type air conditioner and a cooling type and cooling capacity stand type air conditioner installed to stand on the floor Compared to the wall-mounted air conditioner, which is mounted on the wall, it is used separately.

However, conventional stand-type air conditioners are installed on one floor space, and wall-mounted air conditioners are installed on one wall within a limited space. Therefore, the space used is narrowed as much as occupies the indoor space, and the air is far from the location where the air conditioner is installed. There was a problem that is difficult to deliver smoothly.

Recently, in order to solve the above problems, a ceiling type air conditioner is installed and installed in the ceiling of a room and installed to discharge cold air evenly in all directions. The ceiling type air conditioner is installed on the ceiling, so the space utilization is better than the stand type or wall-mounted air conditioner, and the heated air rises to the upper part of the space, which not only dissipates heat to the outside, but also cool air from the air conditioner to the bottom. Therefore, there is an advantage that the cooling efficiency and cold air diffusion rate is increased.

As a related art disclosed in relation to the ceiling air conditioner, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0789710 discloses a heat exchanger for exchanging heat with air introduced from the outside, and a blower fan for blowing air exchanged with the heat exchanger in the heat exchanger. And a main body accommodating the heat exchanger and the blower fan and having a plurality of discharge ports through which air blown by the blower fan is discharged, the ceiling air conditioners being provided at the plurality of discharge ports, respectively, to open and close the respective discharge ports. A plurality of opening and closing means; A plurality of opening and closing means driving units connected to the plurality of opening and closing means, respectively, for adjusting the opening angle of the opening and closing means; And a control unit for variably adjusting the rotational speed (RPM) of the blower fan according to the opening angle of the opening and closing means with respect to the discharge port, wherein the control unit is configured to determine the number of the blower fan Ceiling type air conditioners are known which can improve the comfort of the indoor space by controlling the number of revolutions to increase.
