The refrigerating cycle of an air conditioner consists of a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle cycles through a series of processes consisting of compression-condensation-expansion-evaporation, and can supply conditioned air that exchanges heat with the refrigerant.

The compressor compresses and discharges the refrigerant gas at high temperature and high pressure, and the discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase and releases heat to the surroundings through the condensation process.

The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded by the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in the low-temperature and low-pressure phase to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a freezing effect by heat exchange with the object to be cooled using the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant. Through this cycle, the air conditioner can control the temperature of the indoor space.

The outdoor unit of an air conditioner refers to a part composed of a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger during a cooling cycle. The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger, and the expansion valve may be located in either the indoor unit or the outdoor unit. The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger act as condensers or evaporators.

FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the air conditioner 1 shown in FIG. 1 taken along the line BB′ shown in FIG. 1 when the air conditioner 1 operates in the second mode. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A′ shown in FIG. 1 when the air conditioner 1 shown in FIG. 1 operates in a third mode. FIG. 8 is a view showing a cross section taken along the line BB′ shown in FIG. 1 when the air conditioner 1 shown in FIG. 1 operates in the third mode.

With reference to FIGS. 3 to 8 , the operation of the air conditioner 1 will be described.

First, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 , the air conditioner 1 may be driven in the first mode of discharging heat-exchanged air only through the first outlet 17 . Since the discharge panel 40 is disposed in the first discharge port 17, air conditioning can be performed slowly throughout the room. That is, when the air is discharged to the outside of the housing 10 through the first discharge port 17, the air speed may be reduced and discharged at a low speed while passing through the plurality of discharge holes of the discharge panel 40. According to this configuration, the user can cool or heat the room at a wind speed that feels comfortable.

Specifically, as the first blowing unit 21 is driven, outside air of the housing 10 may be introduced into the housing 10 through the first inlet 12 . Air introduced into the housing 10 passes through the first blower unit 21 and passes through the heat exchanger 30 and may be heat exchanged. Air that passes through the heat exchanger 30 and is heat-exchanged passes through the discharge panel 40 and may be discharged to the outside of the housing 10 through the first discharge port 17 in a reduced speed state. That is, the heat-exchanged air discharged through the first passage S1 can be discharged at a wind speed that the user can feel comfortable with.

In the first mode, since the second blowing unit 26 is not driven, air is not discharged through the second outlet 13 .

Referring to FIGS. 5 and 6 , the air conditioner 1 may be driven in a second mode to discharge air that has not been heat-exchanged only through the second outlet 13 . Since no heat exchanger is disposed on the second flow passage S2, the air conditioner 1 can circulate indoor air.

Since the guide curved portion 13a is provided in the second outlet 13, the air discharged through the second outlet 13 can be discharged to the front of the air conditioner 1. Since the blade 61 is provided on the second outlet 13, air can be blown farther forward.

Specifically, as the second blowing unit 26 is driven, outside air of the housing 10 may be introduced into the housing 10 through the second inlet 15 . After the air introduced into the housing 10 passes through the second blowing unit 26 , it may move to a portion of the second flow path S2 formed on both sides of the first flow path S1 . After the air moves upward on the second flow path S2 , it may be discharged to the outside of the housing 10 through the second outlet 13 . At this time, the air may be guided toward the front of the air conditioner 1 along the guide curved portion 13a.

In the second mode, since the first blowing unit 21 is not driven, air is not discharged through the first discharge port 17 . That is, in the second mode, since the air conditioner 1 blows air that has not been heat-exchanged, it can simply circulate indoor air or provide strong wind to the user.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 , the air conditioner 1 may be driven in a third mode of discharging heat-exchanged air through the first outlet 17 and the second outlet 13 . When the air conditioner 1 is driven in the third mode than when it is driven in the first mode, it can discharge cold air farther.

Specifically, when the air conditioner 1 is driven in the third mode, the cool air discharged through the first outlet 17 and the cool air discharged through the second outlet 13 may be mixed. In addition, since the air discharged through the second discharge port 13 is discharged at a faster speed than the air discharged through the first discharge port 17, the air discharged through the second discharge port 13 is discharged through the first discharge port 17. Through this, the discharged cold air can be moved farther.

According to this configuration, the air conditioner 1 can provide a user with comfortable cool air in which the cool air and indoor air are mixed.

In addition, the air conditioner 1 may be provided to provide cool air to various distances by changing the driving force of the first blowing unit 21 and/or the second blowing unit 26 . That is, the first blower unit 21 may be configured to adjust the air volume and/or wind speed of the air discharged through the first discharge port 17, and the second blower unit 26 may be configured to control the second discharge port 13 It may be configured to be able to adjust the wind volume and / or wind speed of the air discharged through.

For example, when increasing the driving force of the second blowing unit 26 to increase the air volume and/or air speed of the air discharged from the second outlet 13, the air conditioner 1 moves the cold air further away. can make it On the other hand, when reducing the driving force of the second blowing unit 26 to reduce the air volume and/or wind speed of the air discharged from the second outlet 13, the air conditioner 1 can provide cool air in a relatively short distance. there is.

21 to 26, the operation of the air conditioner 1001 will be described.

First, referring to FIGS. 21 and 22 , the air conditioner 1001 may be driven in a first mode in which heat-exchanged air is discharged only through the first outlet 1017 . Since the discharge panel 1040 is disposed in the first discharge port 1017, air conditioning can be performed slowly throughout the room. That is, when the air is discharged to the outside of the housing 1010 through the first discharge port 1017, the air may pass through the plurality of discharge holes of the discharge panel 1040 and be discharged at a low speed due to a reduced wind speed. According to this configuration, the user can cool or heat the room at a wind speed that feels comfortable.

Specifically, as the first blowing unit 1021 is driven, outside air of the housing 1010 may be introduced into the housing 1010 through the first inlet 1012 . Air introduced into the housing 1010 may pass through the first blower unit 1021 and pass through the heat exchanger 1030 to exchange heat. Air that passes through the heat exchanger 1030 and is heat-exchanged passes through the discharge panel 1040 and may be discharged to the outside of the housing 1010 through the first discharge port 1017 in a reduced speed state. That is, the heat-exchanged air discharged through the first flow path S1a may be discharged at a wind speed that allows the user to feel comfortable.

In the first mode, since the second blowing unit 1026 is not driven, air is not discharged through the second outlet 1013 .

Referring to FIGS. 23 and 24 , the air conditioner 1001 may be driven in a second mode to discharge air that has not been heat-exchanged only through the second outlet 1013 . Since no heat exchanger is disposed on the second flow passage S2a, the air conditioner 1001 can circulate indoor air.

Since the guide curved portion 1013a is provided in the second outlet 1013, the air discharged through the second outlet 1013 can be discharged to the front of the air conditioner 1001. Since the blade 1061 is provided on the second outlet 1013, air can be blown farther forward.

In detail, as the second blowing unit 1026 is driven, outside air of the housing 1010 may be introduced into the housing 1010 through the second inlet 1015 . Air introduced into the housing 1010 may pass through the second blower unit 1026 and then move to a portion of the second flow path S2a formed on both sides of the first flow path S1a. After the air moves upward on the second passage S2a, it may be discharged to the outside of the housing 1010 through the second outlet 1013.

In the second mode, since the first blowing unit 1021 is not driven, air is not discharged through the first outlet 1017 . That is, in the second mode, since the air conditioner 1001 blows air that has not been heat-exchanged, it can simply circulate indoor air or provide strong wind to the user.

Referring to FIGS. 25 and 26 , the air conditioner 1001 may be driven in a third mode in which heat-exchanged air is discharged through the first outlet 1017 and the second outlet 1013 . When the air conditioner 1001 is driven in the third mode than when it is driven in the first mode, it can discharge cold air farther.

Specifically, when the air conditioner 1001 is driven in the third mode, the cool air discharged through the first outlet 1017 and the cool air discharged through the second outlet 1013 may be mixed. In addition, since the air discharged through the second discharge port 1013 is discharged at a faster rate than the air discharged through the first discharge port 1017, the air discharged through the second discharge port 1013 is discharged through the first discharge port 1017. Through this, the discharged cold air can be moved farther.

According to this configuration, the air conditioner 1001 can provide the user with pleasant cool air in which the cool air and indoor air are mixed.

In addition, the air conditioner 1001 may be provided to provide cool air to various distances by changing the driving force of the first blowing unit 1021 and/or the second blowing unit 1026 . That is, the first blower unit 1021 may be configured to adjust the air volume and/or wind speed of the air discharged through the first discharge port 1017, and the second blower unit 1026 may be configured to control the second discharge port 1013. It may be configured to be able to adjust the wind volume and / or wind speed of the air discharged through.

For example, when increasing the driving force of the second blowing unit 1026 to increase the air volume and/or wind speed of the air discharged from the second outlet 1013, the air conditioner 1001 moves the cold air farther. can make it On the other hand, when reducing the driving force of the second blowing unit 1026 to reduce the air volume and/or wind speed of the air discharged from the second outlet 1013, the air conditioner 1001 may provide cool air relatively close to the air conditioner 1001. there is.
