Hereinafter, the moving panel 510 is formed by being separated from the display 2 and connected to the display 2.

In addition, the moving panel 510 is preferably disposed to be located between the front panel 20 and the air conditioner 10, which are not easily seen from the outside when the front panel 20 is closed. It is located at the back of the (20).

In addition, the display moving mechanism 500 determines a moving width of the moving panel 510 and the display 2 in proportion to the length of the holder 530, and the holder 530 is installed on the moving panel 510 and is elastic. When the member 520 is installed in the main body 1, especially the front panel 20, the moving panel 510 side becomes heavy by the weight of the holder 530, so that the moving panel 510 is not attached to the holder 530. On the other hand, since the holder 530 is installed in the main body 1, in particular, the front panel 20, and the elastic member 520 is installed in the moving panel 510, the moving panel 510 is relatively light. Since the possibility of falling from the holder 530 is lowered, the holder 530 is limited to being installed on the back surface of the main body 1, in particular, the front panel 20, and the elastic member 520 is installed on the moving panel 510. Will be explained.

The moving member 510 is provided with an elastic member mounting part 511 on which the elastic member 520 is mounted.

The elastic member mounting part 511 may be disposed to protrude forward in front of the moving panel 510 so as to move along the holder 530.

The elastic member mounting portion 511 has a space portion 511A in which the elastic member 520 is inserted and received therein, and penetrates between the left holder 534 and the right holder 535 which will be described later. It includes a through portion 512.

The through part 512 is formed with a through hole 513 through which the hook part 521 of the elastic member 520 to be described later passes.

The elastic member mounting part 511 has left and right locking jaws 514 and 515 protruding left and right from the holder 530, particularly the left holder 534 and the right holder 535 in the rear direction.

Meanwhile, a panel connection part 516 connected to the display 2 is formed on the moving panel 510. Here, the panel connection part 516 may be integrally protruded from the moving panel 510, or may be formed separately from the moving panel 510 to be combined with the moving panel 510.

Hereinafter, the connection of the moving panel 510 and the display 2 will be described in detail.

When the display 2 is coupled with the display cover 210 and the display rear 230, the cover connecting portion 214 of the display cover 210 and the rear connecting portion 236 of the display rear 230 have insertion holes, and The panel connection part 516 of the panel 510 may be inserted into the insertion hole, and the panel connection part 516 of the moving panel 510 has an insertion hole, and the cover connection part 214 of the display cover 210 and the display rear part. Of course, the rear connection portion 236 of the 230 may be inserted into the insertion hole.

In addition, the display 2 includes a cover connection part 214 and a display rear of the display cover 210 such that a fastening member such as a fastening bolt passes through the panel connection part 516 of the moving panel 510 after the insertion is performed as described above. Of course, it is also possible to be firmly assembled by the fastening member by being fastened to one of the rear connectors 236 of 230.

Meanwhile, the elastic member 520 and the holder 530 fix the moving panel 510 and the display 2 at a specific position of the main body 1, in particular, the front panel 20, so that the position thereof can be changed. As a kind of fixing means, when a user or the like moves the moving panel 510, the elastic member 520 is moved along the holder 530 to be in contact with the holder 530, and the moving panel 510 and the display 2 are provided. The rapid movement is limited by the resistance due to contact.

That is, the elastic member 520 and the holder 530 enable the movement of the moving panel 510 but do not allow the moving panel 510 to move rapidly.

In addition, the elastic member 520 and the holder 530 when the external force is not applied to the moving panel 510, the elastic member 520 is held at a specific position of the holder 530 to hold the moving panel 510 This function prevents random movement of).

The elastic member 520 and the holder 530 may be disposed to be positioned between the front panel 20 and the air conditioner 10, which are not easily seen from the outside when the front panel 20 is closed.

Here, the elastic member 520 may be composed of a coil spring provided in the elastic member mounting portion 511 and a kind of detent mechanism made of a ball held by the coil spring and caught by the holder 530, and the elastic member mounting portion 511. It is also possible to be made of a leaf spring protruding from the hook portion 521 is attached to the holder 530 is protruded, and will be described below limited to made of a leaf spring.

 The elastic member 520 is bent such that the hook portion 521 protrudes in one of left and right directions at a substantially center position.

The elastic member 520 is inserted into and installed into the space portion 511A of the elastic member mounting portion 511, and the hook portion 521 is disposed to protrude through the through portion 512 of the elastic member mounting portion 511.

And the holder 530 is provided in the back surface of the glass panel 22 which comprises the front panel 20, It is preferable to be provided in the back surface of 22 A of display space parts.

In the air conditioner according to the present embodiment, when the holder 530 is disposed long in the vertical direction, the elastic member 520 moves up and down together with the moving panel 510 and the display 2, Since the member 520 is moved left and right together with the moving panel 510 and the display 2, the member 520 is lifted and moved for the convenience of description.

That is, the holder 530 is provided on the rear of the display space 22A, which is the rear surface of the front panel 20, vertically long.

The holder 530 is fastened to the rear surface of the glass panel 22 by a fastening member 531 such as a screw, and a fastening hole 533 through which the fastening member 531 penetrates is formed, and a rear surface of the glass panel 22. The fastening part 22G to which the fastening member 531 is fastened in correspondence with the fastening hole 533 of the holder 530 is formed.

The holder 530 is formed such that the left holder 534 and the right holder 535 are spaced left and right.

Here, the left holder 534 and the right holder 535 has a fastening hole 533 formed in the fastening portion 534A (535A) and the fastening portion 534A (535A) that is fastened to the glass panel 22 It consists of a rail part 534B (535B) bent in this "a" shape.

The holder 530 is spaced apart from the left holder 534 and the right holder 535 so that a gap larger than the left and right widths of the through part 512 of the elastic member mounting part 511 is formed.

The holder 530 connects a lower portion of the left holder 534 and the right holder 535, and a lower holder 536 is formed through which the through portion 512 of the elastic member mounting portion 511 is downwardly disposed.

On the other hand, the holder 530 is provided with a plurality of engaging grooves 537, 538, 539 to which the hook portion 521 of the elastic member 520 is inserted.

The holder 530 has a plurality of locking grooves 537, 538, and 539 formed in the longitudinal direction of the holder 530, and each of the locking grooves 537, 538, and 539 has a left holder 534. It is formed in one side of the right holder 55 in a dent in the lateral direction.

The holder 530 may be adjusted in various positions as the number of the locking grooves 537, 538, 539 increases, and at least two locking grooves are formed.

The holder 530 is not limited to the number of locking grooves 537, 538, and 539, and the upper locking groove 537, the central locking groove 538, and the lower locking groove 539 are provided for convenience of description below. It demonstrates only what was formed.

The display moving mechanism 500 may include a set of elastic members 520 and a holder 530, and a plurality of sets of elastic members 520 and a holder 530 may be spaced apart from side to side. Of course.

In addition, the display moving mechanism 500 may stably position the display 2 while minimizing the number of holders 530 when the plurality of elastic members 520 are locked / released to one holder 530. The bar is most preferably provided with a plurality of elastic member mounting portion 511 and the elastic member 520 spaced vertically on the moving panel 510.
