Description

Frame air conditioner {An air-conditioner}

The present invention relates to a frame type air conditioner, and more particularly, to a frame type air conditioner capable of increasing the capacity of an air conditioner by installing a plurality of blowers.

In general, an air conditioner is installed for heating or cooling the room or purifying the air with a heater, an air conditioner, a purifier, etc., and is installed to create a more comfortable indoor environment for humans. Frame type air conditioners have been developed with a built-in turbo fan to minimize cabinet thickness.

1 is a perspective view showing a frame type air conditioner according to the prior art, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing a frame type air conditioner according to the prior art.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional frame type air conditioner includes a rectangular cabinet 2 having a thin front and a thinner fan, a blower 4 installed inside the cabinet 2, and the blower 4. Between the cabinet 2 and the front panel 8, a front panel 8 having a heat exchanger 6 provided in the front, a suction port 8a positioned in front of the heat exchanger 6, and inleting air therein; Discharge grills (10a, 10b, 10c) having discharge ports (not shown) for discharging the heat-exchanged air, and are installed to be rotated at a predetermined angle with respect to the front surface of the front panel (8). It is configured to include a front grill 12 to open and close.

Here, the blower (4) is not only minimizes the thickness of the cabinet (2) but also the turbo fan (4a) and the motor to rotate the turbo fan (4a) so that the horizontally introduced air can be discharged vertically (4b).

In addition, a ring-shaped orifice 14a is formed between the heat exchanger 6 and the turbo fan 4a to guide the air sucked through the inlet 8a to the turbo fan 4a so that no turbulence occurs. In addition, an air guide 14 for dividing the sucked air and the discharged air is installed, and a control box 16 with electronic components for controlling the operation of the air conditioner is installed on the upper front of the air guide 14. do.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the turbo fan 4a is operated by the control signal generated from the control box 16 and the front grill 12 is opened and the indoor air is opened inside the cabinet 2 through the inlet 8a of the front panel 8. Inflow to the air flows through the heat exchanger (6) is cooled.

Air cooled as described above is guided to the discharge port (not shown) so that turbulence is not generated by the air guide 14, and is discharged through the discharge grill (10a, 10b, 10c) to the indoor side.

However, the frame type air conditioner according to the prior art has a limitation in increasing the capacity of the air conditioner since the airflow amount and the heat exchange capacity are determined by the size of the turbo fan 4a installed inside the thin cabinet 2.

Therefore, in recent years, there has been a demand for a frame type air conditioner in which a plurality of turbo fans 4a are provided to increase the capacity of the air conditioner.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a frame-type air conditioner that can increase the capacity of the air conditioner by increasing the amount of air blower is installed.

The frame-type air conditioner according to the present invention for solving the above problems is a cabinet having an open front surface, a front panel having a suction port formed on the front surface and a discharge port formed on a circumferential portion, and installed inside the front panel. A heat exchanger for exchanging indoor air and refrigerant, a plurality of blowers installed at the rear of the heat exchanger to blow indoor air, and air installed between the plurality of blowers so as to be blown along the independent flow paths Guide means.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The frame-type air conditioner according to the present invention, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the front is open and the thickness is thin rectangular cabinet 52, the first, installed to be arranged side by side on both sides of the inside of the cabinet 52, Two blowers (54, 55) and guide means installed inside the cabinet (52) to allow air introduced by the first and second blowers (54, 55) to be blown along an independent flow path, and the first And a front panel 58 having a heat exchanger 56 installed in front of the two blowers 54 and 55, a suction port 58a positioned in front of the heat exchanger 56, and inlet air, and the cabinet 52. ) And a discharge grill (60a, 60b, 60c) formed between the front panel 58 and the discharge panel (not shown) through which heat-exchanged air is discharged, and to rotate at a predetermined angle with respect to the front surface of the front panel 58. It is configured to include a front grill 62 installed to open and close the suction port (58a).

Here, the first and second blowers 54 and 55 may not only minimize the thickness of the cabinet 52 but also first and second turbo fans 54a and 55a to allow the horizontally introduced air to be discharged vertically. And first and second motors 54b and 55b for rotating the first and second turbo fans 54a and 55a.

In particular, the guide means is installed between the first blower 54 and the second blower 55 to partition both sides of the interior of the cabinet 52 and the air blown by the first turbo fan (54a) and the The partition wall 72 is partitioned so that the air blown by the second turbo fan 55a does not mix with each other.

Specifically, the partition wall 72 is the first turbo fan (54a) and the second turbo fan to reduce the flow path resistance of the air blown by the first turbo fan (54a) and the second turbo fan (55a), respectively. The width of the upper portion of the upper portion 55a is increased so as to maintain a predetermined distance from the peripheral portion of the 55a.

In addition, the guide means is installed between the heat exchanger 56 and the first and second turbo fans 54a and 55a to be sucked through the suction port 58a by the first and second turbo fans 54a and 55a. Ring-shaped first and second orifices 64a and 64b for guiding the compressed air to the first and second turbofans 54a and 55b so as not to generate turbulence are formed on both sides, and the suctioned air and the discharged air are discharged. An air guide 64 for partitioning is further included.

Of course, a control box 66 having an electronic component for controlling the operation of the air conditioner is installed on the upper front surface of the air guide 64, and the control box 66 is connected to the first turbo fan 54a. The second turbo fan 55a supplies power to the first motor 54b and the second motor 55b to be rotated in the same direction or in different directions.

Looking at the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the first turbo fan 54a and the second turbofan 55a are operated in the same direction or in opposite directions by the control signal generated from the control box 66, and the front grill 62 is opened while the indoor air is opened. The air is introduced into the cabinet 52 through the inlet port 58a of the front panel 58, and the air introduced in this way is cooled while passing through the heat exchanger 56.

The air cooled as described above is guided to the first turbo fan 54a and the second turbofan 55a by the first orifice 64a and the second orifice 64b.

At this time, the air blown by the first turbo fan 54a and the second turbofan 55a by the partition 72 provided between the first turbo fan 54a and the second turbofan 55a is mutually different. Without mixing, they are led to the discharge port (not shown) through the first turbo fan 54a and the second turbofan 55a, respectively, and discharged through the discharge grills 60a, 60b, and 60c to the interior side.

Of course, when capacitively controlled by the control panel 66, the first turbo fan 54a and the second turbo fan 55a may be selectively operated.

In the frame-type air conditioner according to the present invention configured as described above, a plurality of blowers are installed in a cabinet, and partition walls and a plurality of partitions are partitioned between the plurality of blowers so that air blown by the plurality of blowers is blown along an independent flow path. Since the air guide with the orifice is installed, the air volume can be increased by blowing air along an independent flow path by the plurality of blowers, thereby increasing the capacity of the air conditioner.
