The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to a small air conditioner that is movable, and in particular, is easy to install and move so as to efficiently cool / heat a specific space, and component parts are effectively arranged accordingly. A small air conditioner having a structure.

In general, an air conditioner is a cooling / heating device installed in a space or a wall of a store, an office, or a home to achieve indoor cooling or room heating. It is a device that makes up a cycle.

In particular, an air conditioner is commonly referred to as a heat dissipation unit (also called an "outdoor unit" because it is installed outdoors when applied to a general air conditioner), and a heat absorbing unit (also called an "indoor" because it is installed indoors when applied to a general air conditioner). The heat dissipation part includes the compressor and the condenser, and the heat absorption part includes the evaporator.

On the other hand, the air conditioner, as is well known, is largely divided into a separate air conditioner separated from the heat dissipation unit and the heat absorbing unit, and an integrated air conditioner integrated with the heat dissipating unit and the heat absorbing unit.

Here, the separate type air conditioner is divided into package type (aka "pump type"), wall mount type, ceiling mount type, and the like according to the mounting type of the heat absorbing unit, and the integrated air conditioner is centered on the window. On the indoor side, the heat absorbing unit is divided into a window type mounted on the window due to the heat dissipating unit on the outdoor side.

On the other hand, the heat dissipating unit and the heat absorbing unit is large in size and heavy, as is well known, the heat dissipating unit is fixed to one side of the outdoor, the heat absorbing unit is fixed to one side of the indoor room.

However, the conventional general air conditioner described above has the following problems.

Conventional air conditioners are generally large and heavy and inconvenient to install. In addition, since the refrigerant pipes and the like are made of copper pipes and are fixed at a predetermined position through the wall at the time of installation, it is difficult to move the air conditioner once installed to another place. Therefore, it is virtually difficult to locally cool a specific space, but not all of the air conditioning space.

The present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art, to provide a small air conditioner having a structure that is easy to install and move, and the component is effectively arranged to efficiently cool / heat a specific space. There is this.
