2, the conventional air conditioner includes an external duct 112, a grill box 110, a heater 120, and an internal duct 118 for heating external air and supplying it to the inside of the room.

The grill box 110 receives outside air and supplies it to the room. Specifically, outside air flows into the room through the outside duct 112, and the introduced outside air is supplied to the room through the inside duct 118. At this time, the heater 120 installed in the grill box 110 serves to maintain the supplied air to a proper temperature by heating the introduced outside air to a predetermined temperature. In this case, the operator opens the hatch 14 provided in a part of the ceiling 12 and enters the ceiling, thereby maintaining the grill box 110 and the heater 120.

However, it is difficult to secure a space in which the hatch 14 can be installed, when a decorative article such as an illumination is installed in a ceiling area located below the grill box 110 and the heater 120.

3 is a schematic view of an air conditioning apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

3, the air conditioner according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an outer duct 112, a grill box 110, a heater 120, an inner duct 118, an opening and closing plate 130, and an elastic member 150 ), But does not exclude additional configurations.

The outer duct 112 forms a flow path through which the outside air flows. Specifically, the outer duct 112 may be connected to the outside directly or indirectly, so that the outside air can be introduced. At this time, the outer duct 112 preferably includes a spiral duct, but is not limited thereto and may be variously modified.

The grill box 110 is detachably connected to the external duct 112. Specifically, the grill box 110 is detachably connected to the outer duct 112 through a flexible hose 114. [ However, if the external hose 114 is detachably connected to the external duct 112 and the external air can be introduced from the external duct 112, the shape and configuration of the flexible hose 114 may be variously changed.

The heater 120 can heat the air supplied to the room. 3, the heater 120 may be installed at one side of the grill box 110 and heats the air flowing inside the grill box to maintain the air supplied to the room at an appropriate temperature.

The inner duct 118 extends downward from the grill box 110. Concretely, the ceiling 12 is connected to the grill box 110 installed above the ceiling 12. [ At this time, a grill 116 is provided at a portion where the inner duct 118 and the ceiling 12 are connected to each other, so that the direction and air volume of the air supplied to the room can be adjusted.

The opening and closing plate 130 is connected to the inner duct 118 and is installed in a part of the ceiling 12 so as to be rotatable about the axis of the hinge 140. Specifically, the opening and closing plate 130 is installed in a region of the ceiling 12 which overlaps with at least one of the grill box 110 and the heater 120, and the connecting portion 130 of the opening and closing plate 130 and the ceiling 12 A hinge 140 is provided. For example, the size of the opening and closing plate 130 may be larger than the sum of sizes of the grill box 110 and the heater 120.

Therefore, the grill box 110, the heater 120, the inner duct 118 and the grill 116 are rotated to the side together with the opening and closing plate 130 so that the installation of the separate hatch 14 is unnecessary, Maintenance of the grill box 110 and / or the heater 120 can be performed indoors without having to go inside the ceiling.

3, the external duct 112 is located at one side (e.g., the right side) of the grill box 110 and the heater 120 is positioned at the other side (e.g., left side) of the grill box 110. [ And the hinge 140 is disposed on one side (for example, the right side) of the opening and closing plate 130 to improve the space efficiency. However, in a place where the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is installed The arrangement of the external duct 112, the grill box 110, the heater 120, and the hinge 140 can be variously changed.

When the opening and closing plate 130 is rotated about the axis of the hinge 130, the elastic member 150 provides an elastic force to the opening and closing plate 130 to return to the initial position. Specifically, one side of the elastic member 150 is connected to the hull 11 located at the upper portion of the ceiling 12, and the other side of the elastic member 150 is connected to the upper surface of the opening / closing plate 130, ) To the initial position. At this time, the elastic member 150 may be a spring, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any configuration applicable to the ordinary artisan can be applied to the present invention. Further, if the elastic member 150 can provide an elastic force for returning the opening / closing plate 130 to the initial position, the installation position of the elastic member 150 can be variously changed. Here, the initial position means a position at which the open / close plate 130 is located on the substantially same horizontal plane as the ceiling 12.

Hereinafter, the operation of the air conditioner according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG.
