On the other hand, terms including an ordinal number such as a first or a second may be used to describe various components, but the components are not limited by the terms, and the terms may refer to one component from another component. It is used only for differentiation purposes.

1 is a cross-sectional view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a guide member and a water collecting member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The air conditioner according to the present invention is a case 110, a plurality of heat exchangers 120 provided inside the case 110, a guide member 210 provided between the plurality of heat exchangers 120, and a guide member It is provided at 210, and includes a collecting member 220 in which condensate of the heat exchanger 120 is collected.

Hereinafter, the components of the air conditioner will be divided and described with reference to the drawings. Hereinafter, the air conditioner may be used as a concept including both outdoor units and indoor units.

First, the case 110 forms the exterior of the air conditioner, and is provided with an air intake 111 and an air outlet 113. After the air is introduced into the air intake 111 by the blowing fan 130 provided inside the case 110 and heated or cooled, it is discharged again through the air outlet 113.

Next, the plurality of heat exchangers 120 are spaced apart from each other vertically and disposed inside the case 110. That is, the heat exchanger 121 located in the upper portion of the case 110 and the heat exchanger 123 located in the lower portion of the case 110 are provided.

At this time, the plurality of heat exchangers 120 are arranged such that one or both ends overlap. That is, the lower end of the upper heat exchanger 121 overlaps the upper end of the lower heat exchanger 123. Here, the overlapping means that the upper end of the lower heat exchanger 123 is spaced apart from the lower end of the upper heat exchanger 121.

Conventionally, the maximum length of the heat exchange area of the heat exchanger 120 is limited to the height Hc of the heat exchange installation space of the case 110. However, according to the present invention, since the heat exchange area corresponding to the overlapped area between the heat exchangers 120 is increased, the length of the entire heat exchange area is increased compared to the prior art. Accordingly, the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner can be increased.

In addition, the lengths L1 and L2 of each of the heat exchangers 120 may be reduced as they are divided into a plurality of heat exchangers 120. Therefore, the total amount of condensate generated on each heat exchanger 120 surface is reduced. The thickness of the condensate that is generated on the surface of each heat exchanger 120 and prevents heat exchange is reduced, so that the heat exchange by the condensate between the inlet air and each heat exchanger 120 is reduced.

The plurality of heat exchangers 120 may be fin-tube type heat exchangers 120.

Next, the guide member 210 is provided between the plurality of heat exchangers 120, respectively. The guide member 210 blocks the gap between the overlapping ends of the different heat exchangers 120 to block the intake air from bypassing the heat exchanger 120. In addition, since the air flowing into the air intake 111 is guided by the guide member 210 and divided into heat exchangers 120 arranged vertically, heat exchange can reduce pressure loss of air.

At this time, the guide member 210 is provided to be in close contact with each of the overlapping one end of the different heat exchanger (120). Accordingly, it is possible to prevent air from bypassing through the gap between the overlapping end of the guide member 210 and the heat exchanger 120. In addition, due to this, the guide member 210 has a shape extending diagonally upward and downward.

In one embodiment, the guide member 210 is in close contact with the overlapping ends of the different heat exchangers 120, the first coupling portion 211 and the second coupling portion 213 positioned up and down, respectively, the first coupling It may be divided into a partition 215 extending between the part 211 and the second coupling part 213.

The first coupling portion 211 is in close contact with the top of the heat exchanger 123 located at the bottom, and the second coupling portion 213 is in close contact with the bottom of the heat exchanger 121 located at the top. At this time, the first coupling portion 211 is in close contact with the upper surface of the lower heat exchanger 123, so that the contact area between the first coupling portion 211 and the heat exchanger 123 can be increased. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the shaking of the guide member 210 due to air flow.

The partition 215 has a shape extending between the first coupling portion 211 and the second coupling portion 213 and extending in a diagonal direction.

Next, the water collecting member 220 is coupled to the guide member 210 to collect condensate generated on the surfaces of the plurality of heat exchangers 120. When the heat exchanger 120 is operated as an evaporator, condensate generated on the surface of each heat exchanger 120 flows downward to collect on the lower surface of the heat exchanger 120.

The present invention can collect condensate falling from the lower surface of each heat exchanger 120 through the water collecting member 220. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the condensate of the upper heat exchanger 121 from falling to another heat exchanger 123 located at the lower side, thereby preventing the heat exchange performance from being reduced by the condensate.

The water collecting member 220 is provided on the guide member 210, and is located in the condensate falling direction of the heat exchanger 121 located at the top of the two heat exchangers 120 having one end overlapping each other. The water collecting member 220 may be coupled to the second coupling portion 213 of the guide member 210 in close contact with the lower end of the upper heat exchanger 121. Accordingly, the water collecting member 220 collects condensate of the heat exchanger 121 located at the top among different heat exchangers 120 having one end overlapping.

In addition, the collecting member 220 is provided with a receiving space S in which condensate is collected, and a lower end of the heat exchanger 120 located at the top may be located inside the receiving space S. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the condensed water falling from the lower end of the heat exchanger 120 from falling out of the water collecting member 220. On the other hand, the collecting member 220 has a box shape with an open top surface, and the receiving space S is provided by an enclosed surface.

The guide member 210 and the water collecting member 220 extend in the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger 120. The guide member 210 and the water collecting member 220 have the same length as the length in the longitudinal direction of the heat exchanger 120. Accordingly, all the condensed water falling from the bottom of the heat exchanger 120 may be collected in the water collecting member 220.

3, the collecting member 220 may include a blocking portion 221 protruding from the bottom surface of the receiving space (S). The blocking unit 221 may prevent the heat exchange performance from deteriorating by blocking air bypassing the heat exchanger 120 through the accommodation space S. That is, the air bypassed to the accommodation space S through the gap between the second coupling portion 213 of the guide member 210 and the lower end of the upper heat exchanger 121 is guided upward by the blocking portion 221 Heat exchanger 120 may be introduced into the interior.

At this time, the blocking portion 221 is vertically extended with respect to the bottom surface of the receiving space (S) has a height (Hp) that abuts on the lower end of the upper heat exchanger (121). Accordingly, the blocking unit 221 may bypass the heat exchanger 120 and guide all the air introduced into the accommodation space S to the heat exchanger 120.

In addition, as shown in Figure 3 (b), the water collecting member 220 may include a guide portion 223 extending obliquely upward. One side of the water collecting member 220 is coupled to the second coupling portion 213, and the other side of the water collecting member 220 is provided with a guide portion 223. The guide unit 223 guides the condensate scattered in the air flow direction from the surface of the heat exchanger 120 by the incoming air into the receiving space S. At this time, the upper end of the guide portion 223 may be extended to be inclined upward to be higher than the lower end of the upper heat exchanger 121.

The guide portion 223 may be provided in the water collecting member 220 when the upper heat exchanger 121 is located behind the lower heat exchanger 123 based on the air inflow direction, as shown in FIG. 3 (b). have. As shown in (a) of FIG. 3, when the upper heat exchanger 121 is located in front of the lower heat exchanger 123 based on the air inflow direction, scattered condensate is blocked by the compartment 215 to accommodate the space. (S) Because it can be guided inside.

As shown in (a) of Figure 4, the water collecting member 220 and the guide member 210 may be provided with a heat insulating material (230). The heat insulating material 230 provided on the water collecting member 220 may block heat exchange between the condensate collected in the receiving space S and the air passing through the lower heat exchanger 123 to prevent a decrease in heat exchange performance.

The heat insulating material 230 provided on the guide member 210 prevents heat exchange between air passing through the lower heat exchanger 123 and air entering the upper heat exchanger 121 with the guide member 210 interposed therebetween. Prevent degradation.

Meanwhile, the first coupling portion 211 of the guide member 210 may be in close contact to cover only a portion of the upper surface of the lower heat exchanger 123. When the guide member 210 is installed inside the air conditioner, first the plurality of heat exchangers 120 are installed, and then the guide member 210 is inserted from the top between the spaced apart gaps of the plurality of heat exchangers 120 Fix it inside. That is, when the first coupling portion 211 is formed to be in close contact with only a portion of the upper surface of the lower heat exchanger 123, since the length of the first coupling portion 211 is reduced, guides between the spaced apart gaps of the heat exchanger 120 It is easy to insert the member 210.

In addition, as shown in Figure 4 (b), the water collecting member 220 may be formed in a streamlined shape. Accordingly, the air flowing in contact with the lower surface of the water collecting member 220 can be gently guided, thereby reducing the flow resistance of the air. Preferably, only the lower surface of the water collecting member 220 may be formed in a streamlined shape. Likewise, the guide portion 223 may also be formed in a streamlined shape to reduce the flow resistance of air.

In addition, the collecting member 220 may be further provided with an auxiliary blocking portion 225 between the blocking portion 221 and the guide portion 223. The auxiliary blocking unit 225 may extend vertically from the bottom surface of the water collecting member 220 to be in close contact with the lower side of the upper heat exchanger 121. The auxiliary blocking unit 225 blocks air bypassing the heat exchanger 120 through the accommodation space S, like the blocking unit 221. In addition, since the auxiliary blocking part 225 increases the contact area with the upper heat exchanger 121, the shaking of the water collecting member 220 due to air flow can be prevented.

5 and 6, the blocking member 240 provided in the guide member 210 may be included. The blocking member 240 is provided on both sides of the guide member 210 and is located between both sides of the plurality of heat exchangers 120 and the inner surface of the case 110. The blocking member 240 may block both sides of the overlapping end of each heat exchanger 120 to block air bypassing to both sides of the heat exchanger 120.

At this time, the guide member 210, the collecting member 220 and the blocking member 240 may be integrally formed. Accordingly, the guide member 210, the water collecting member 220, and the blocking member 240 may be manufactured and manufactured through a single process without the need for recombination.

In addition, the blocking member 240 is coupled to the case 110, the guide member 210 and the water collecting member 220 may be fixed inside the case 110. That is, since the guide member 210, the water collecting member 220, and the blocking member 240 are integrally formed, the guide member 210 and the water collecting member 220 are fixed by fixing the blocking member 240 to the case 110. It can be fixed therein without coupling to the heat exchanger 120 or the case 110 separately.

When explaining the above-described air conditioner with a specific example as follows. The present invention is the case 110, the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 123 provided inside the case 110, between the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 123 It includes a guide member 210 to shield the gap of the, and the water collecting member 220 provided in the guide member 210.

That is, the first heat exchanger 121 refers to the upper heat exchanger 121 described above, and the second heat exchanger 123 refers to the lower heat exchanger 123.

The guide member 210 extends from the top of the second heat exchanger 123 to the bottom of the first heat exchanger 121, between the bottom of the first heat exchanger 121 and the top of the second heat exchanger 123. The gap is shielded.

Hereinafter, an air conditioner according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Details overlapping with the above-described parts will be omitted or briefly described.

The plurality of heat exchangers 120 are arranged to be spaced apart from one another so that one or both ends overlap. The guide member 310 is provided to shield a gap between overlapping ends of different heat exchangers 120. The guide member 310 is in close contact with each of the overlapping ends of the different heat exchangers 120, the first coupling portion 311 and the second coupling portion 313 and the first coupling portion 311 and It may be divided into a partition 315 extending between the second coupling portion 313.

In the present invention, a collecting groove 317 is provided in the partition 315 of the guide member 310. The bottom surface of the collecting groove 317 is positioned lower than the second coupling portion 313. Accordingly, the condensate generated in the heat exchanger 121 located at the top among the different heat exchangers 120 falls to the second coupling portion 313, and then catches the grooves located relatively low along the surface of the guide member 310. (317). As described above, since the condensate of the upper heat exchanger 121 is prevented from falling to the other heat exchanger 123 located at the bottom through the collecting groove 317, the heat exchange performance of the other heat exchanger 120 due to the condensation water is prevented. You can.

The height of the upper end of the guide portion 319 may be extended from the second coupling portion 313 to be higher than the lower end of the upper heat exchanger 121.

In addition, a heat insulating material 320 may be provided on the guide member 310. The heat insulating material 320 may block heat exchange between condensate collected in the water collecting groove 317 and air that has passed through the lower heat exchanger 123 to prevent a decrease in heat exchange performance. In addition, the heat insulator 320 prevents heat exchange performance degradation by preventing heat exchange between air flowing through the lower heat exchanger 123 and the air flowing to the upper heat exchanger 121 with the guide member 310 interposed therebetween. You can.

In addition, the guide member 310 may be formed in a streamlined shape. Accordingly, resistance of air flowing in contact with the guide member 310 may be reduced.

In another embodiment of the present invention, compared to the above-described embodiment, since a separate collecting member is not coupled, and the collecting groove 317 is formed in the guide member 310, it has an advantage of easy manufacturing. However, there is a disadvantage in that the horizontal length T between the heat exchangers 120 is widened by increasing the horizontal length of the partition 315 to prepare the collecting groove 317.

To solve this, as shown in Figure 13 (b), the upper heat exchanger 121 is moved forward by a predetermined length (d), only a portion of the lower surface of the upper heat exchanger 121, the second coupling portion 313 ). That is, the second coupling part 313 is provided to support only a part of the upper heat exchanger 121.
