가동그릴커버를 구비한 에어컨 실내기{Indoor unit of air-conditioner with movable grill-cover}Indoor unit of air-conditioner with movable grill-cover

본 발명은 가동그릴커버를 구비한 에어컨 실내기에 관한 것으로, 특히 에어컨 전면의 공기흡입구조를 개선하여 에어컨의 각 기능에 따라 가동그릴커버의 위치를 조정함으로써 냉방효율을 향상시키도록 하는 가동그릴커버를 구비한 에어컨 실내기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an indoor unit of an air conditioner having a movable grill cover, and in particular, to improve the air intake structure of the front of the air conditioner by adjusting the position of the movable grill cover according to each function of the air conditioner to improve the cooling efficiency It relates to an air conditioner indoor unit provided.

일반적으로 실내기와 실외기로 분리되어 제작되는 에어컨은 실내에 실내기를 설치하고, 이 실내기는 실외에 설치되는 실외기와 배관 및 배선에 의해 연결된다. 이러한 에어컨의 실내기와 실외기는 외부의 더운 공기를 송풍기의 구동에 의해 강제로 순환시키면서, 열교환기의 작용에 의해 더운 공기를 소정 온도로 냉각시켜 차가운 공기를 실내로 공급하게 된다.In general, an air conditioner manufactured by separating the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is installed in the indoor unit, and the indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit installed outdoors by piping and wiring. The indoor unit and outdoor unit of the air conditioner forcibly circulates the external hot air by driving the blower, and cools the hot air to a predetermined temperature by the action of the heat exchanger to supply the cold air to the room.

도 1은 종래 에어컨 실내기의 구성을 도시한 사시도이다.1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a conventional air conditioner indoor unit.

도시된 바와 같이, 실내기(100)의 외관을 형성하는 본체(110)는 후방에 후면캐비닛(117)이 고정되고, 상기 후면캐비닛(117)의 전면으로 상부와 하부에 냉각된 공기를 실내로 토출시키는 토출그릴(114)과 실내의 공기를 흡입하는 흡입그릴(112)을 구비한 전면캐비닛(118)이 설치된다. 상기 본체(110) 내부에는 감열부(120) 및 송풍부(130)가 설치되고, 풍량 및 설정 온도 등을 조절하는 제어부(116)가 전면 중앙에 구비되어 있다.As shown, the main body 110 forming the exterior of the indoor unit 100 is fixed to the rear cabinet 117 at the rear, discharge the air cooled in the upper and lower to the front of the rear cabinet 117 into the room. The front cabinet 118 is provided with a discharge grill 114 and a suction grill 112 for sucking air in the room. The heat sensing unit 120 and the air blowing unit 130 are installed inside the main body 110, and a control unit 116 for adjusting the air volume and the set temperature is provided at the front center.

또한, 감열부(120)는 흡입그릴(112)을 통해 흡입된 실내 공기의 온도를 낮추도록 하는 것으로 응축기의 토출 측에 연결된 팽창밸브(미도시)와 연계되어 있는 증발기(122)와, 흡입되는 실내 공기 중에 포함되어 있는 이물질을 제거하는 먼지거름필터(124) 및 감열시 발생하게 되는 응축수를 배출토록 하는 응축수배출부(126)로 이루어지고, 송풍부(130)는 감열부(120)와 토출그릴(114) 사이에 위치하는 것으로 일측이 개방되어 있는 블로워하우징(136)과, 그 내부에 송풍부모터(132)와 연결되어 있는 블로워(134)가 구비되어 있다.In addition, the heat sensing unit 120 is designed to lower the temperature of the indoor air sucked through the suction grill 112, and the evaporator 122 connected to the expansion valve (not shown) connected to the discharge side of the condenser is sucked in. The dust filter 124 to remove the foreign matter contained in the indoor air and the condensate discharge unit 126 to discharge the condensate generated during the heat, the blower 130 is discharged to the thermal unit 120 and discharge The blower housing 136, which is positioned between the grille 114 and is open at one side thereof, and a blower 134 connected to the blower motor 132 is provided therein.

이와 같은 구성으로 이루어진 분리형 에어컨을 이용한 냉방은 실내기 하우징(100)의 전면 중앙에 구비되어 있는 제어부(116)를 조작하여 실내, 외기에 전원을 공급함과 동시에 송풍부(130)와 압축기가 가동된다.Cooling using a separate air conditioner having such a configuration operates the control unit 116 provided at the center of the front surface of the indoor unit housing 100 to supply power to the indoor and outdoor air, and at the same time, the blower 130 and the compressor are operated.

압축기의 가동으로 냉매는 증발기(122)로부터 유입된 냉매를 압축시켜, 고온, 고압의 가스 상태로 응축기로 보내게 되고, 응축기 내로 유입된 냉매는 외기에 의해 냉각되고, 액체 상태로 팽창 밸브로 보내지게 된다. 상기 팽창밸브를 통과하는 액체 상태의 냉매는 압력강하작용으로 저온, 저압의 안개 상태로 변화되어 증발기(122) 내로 유입이 되고, 이 증발기(122) 내를 흐르면서 그 주위로부터 열을 흡수하게 된다.By operating the compressor, the refrigerant compresses the refrigerant introduced from the evaporator 122 and is sent to the condenser in a gas state of high temperature and high pressure. You lose. The refrigerant in the liquid state passing through the expansion valve is changed into a mist state of low temperature and low pressure by a pressure drop action, and flows into the evaporator 122, and absorbs heat from the surroundings while flowing in the evaporator 122.

이 과정에서 송풍부(130)의 가동으로 실내 공기는 흡입그릴(112)을 통해 본체(100)로 유입되고, 이 유입된 공기는 증발기를 경유하면서 냉각이 된 상태로 토출그릴(114)을 통해 실내로 배출됨으로써, 실내를 냉방하게 된다.In this process, the indoor air is introduced into the main body 100 through the suction grill 112 by the operation of the blower 130, and the introduced air is discharged through the discharge grill 114 while being cooled while passing through the evaporator. By being discharged to the room, the room is cooled.

그러나, 종래의 에어컨 실내기는 흡입그릴(112)이 고정 장착되어 있었기 때문에, 더 큰 풍량을 필요로 할 때에는 송풍부모터(132)의 회전수를 증가시키는 수밖에 없었고, 상기 송풍부모터(132)의 회전수 증가는 소비전력의 상승과 소음을 유발하는 문제점이 있었다.However, since the suction grill 112 is fixedly mounted in the conventional air conditioner, when the larger air volume is required, the number of rotations of the blower motor 132 has to be increased. Increasing the number of rotations has the problem of raising the power consumption and noise.

이에 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점들을 해소하기 위해 안출된 것으로써, 본 발명의 목적은 에어컨 실내기 전면의 공기흡입구조를 개선하여 밀폐면으로 이루어지고, 구동수단에 의해 구동이 가능한 가동그릴커버를 구비하여, 냉방운전시에는 송풍부모터의 회전수를 증가시키는 대신 가동그릴커버를 개방함으로써, 유입되는 실내공기의 양을 조절하여 소비전력의 상승 및 소음을 방지하고, 정지시에는 가동그릴커버를 폐쇄하여 이물질의 유입을 막는 동시에 미관을 살리는 가동그릴커버를 구비한 에어컨 실내기를 제공하는데 있다.Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems, the object of the present invention is to improve the air intake structure of the front of the air conditioner indoor unit made of a sealed surface, provided with a movable grill cover that can be driven by the drive means By opening the movable grill cover instead of increasing the number of revolutions of the blower motor during the cooling operation, the amount of indoor air is introduced to prevent the increase of power consumption and noise, and the movable grill cover is closed during the stop. It is to provide an air conditioner indoor unit having a movable grill cover that prevents the inflow of foreign matters and improves aesthetics.

이와 같이 유입된 공기는 먼지거름필터(124)를 지나 열교환된 후 블로워(132)의 구동에 따라 이동하고, 토출그릴(114)을 통해 실내로 토출된다.The air introduced as described above is heat-exchanged through the dust filter 124 and then moves under the driving of the blower 132, and is discharged into the room through the discharge grill 114.

그리고, 최대냉방운전시, 사용자가 미도시된 최대냉방작동버튼을 작동하게 되면, 전술한 냉방운전시와 기본적인 작동은 같으나, 상기 전면그릴커버(200)가 최대한 전면캐비닛(118) 전방으로 힌지핀(201)을 중심으로 회전하면서 개방되어, 많은 양의 공기를 흡입하여 토출함으로써 실내를 빠른 시간 내에 냉방하게 된다.And, during the maximum cooling operation, if the user operates the maximum cooling operation button not shown, the basic operation is the same as the above-described cooling operation, but the front grill cover 200 is hinged to the front of the front cabinet 118 as far as possible It opens while rotating about 201, and cools the room quickly by sucking and discharging a large amount of air.

또한, 운전정지시에는 상기 모터(213)의 동력을 전달받아 회전하는 상기 원호기어(210)와 피니언(211)에 의해 상기 가동그릴커버(200)는 완전히 전면캐비닛(118) 쪽으로 당겨져 폐쇄되어 공기가 흡입되는 부분이 완전히 차단되므로, 에어컨 실내기(100) 내측으로의 이물질 유입이 방지될 뿐만 아니라, 모든 사용자에게 깔끔한 외관을 제공하게 된다.In addition, when the operation is stopped, the movable grill cover 200 is completely pulled toward the front cabinet 118 by the circular arc gear 210 and the pinion 211 which are rotated by the power of the motor 213 to close the air. Since the suction part is completely blocked, not only the foreign material inflow into the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is prevented, but also provides a neat appearance to all users.

상기한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 가동그릴커버를 구비한 에어컨 실내기에 의하면, 공기흡입부의 고정으로 인해 소비전력의 상승과 소음문제에도 불구하고 공기흡입량을 송풍부모터의 회전수 조절에만 의존하던 종래의 에어컨의 단점을, 송풍부와 감열부를 비롯한 내부구성을 바꾸지 않고 피니언에 연결된 모터의 정역회전에 의해 가동그릴커버를 전면캐비닛 전후방으로 이동시키는 것에 의해 공기흡입량을 증감시킬 수 있도록 개선한 매우 유용하고 효과적인 발명이다.According to the air conditioner indoor unit having a movable grill cover according to the present invention as described above, in spite of the increase in power consumption and noise problems due to the fixing of the air suction unit, the air suction amount is dependent only on the rotational speed control of the blower motor. It is very useful and effective to improve air deficiency by moving the movable grill cover to the front and back of the front cabinet by reverse rotation of the motor connected to the pinion without changing the internal configuration including the air blower and the heat sink. Invention.
