[First Embodiment of Left / Right Independent Ventilation Structure]

According to the air conditioner having the above-described configuration, the air blowing operation of the left side region and the right side region of the indoor unit 1 can be independently performed.

According to the present embodiment, the respective blowing modules 201, 202 and 203 can be divided into a left first blowing part 200a and a right second blowing part 200b, respectively.

The first blowing part 200a and the second blowing part 200b may separately include impellers 220 and 225 and driving parts 230 and 235, respectively.

The first air-rich part 200a is disposed between the first suction body 110 and the second suction body 120 and is operated to discharge the air sucked through the first air suction part 111 forward. The first blow-in part 200a includes a single suction centrifugal fan type impeller 220 which sucks air through the left side and discharges the air forward, a driving part 230 that provides a driving force for rotating the impeller 220, As shown in FIG.

The second air inflow portion 200b is disposed between the first air inflow portion 200a and the second suction body 120 and is operated to discharge the air sucked in through the second air inlets 121 forward . The second blow-in portion 200b includes an impeller 225 in the form of a single suction centrifugal fan that sucks air through the right side and discharges the air forward, a driving portion 235 that provides a driving force for rotating the impeller 225, As shown in FIG.

For example, the first blowing unit 200a and the second blowing unit 200b may be installed in a single scroll housing 210. At this time, the impeller 220 and the driving unit 230 of the first air-blowing unit 220a are installed inside the scroll housing 210 and are located at a position adjacent to the first side plate 211 provided on the left side of the scroll housing 210 As shown in FIG. The impeller 225 and the driving unit 235 of the second air-blowing unit 220b are installed inside the scroll housing 210 in the same manner as the first air-blowing unit 200a, And can be installed at a position adjacent to the two side plates 212. In this case, each of the driving units 230 and 235 may be installed in a space formed inside the impellers 220 and 225.

In addition, a partition 270 may be provided between the first air-rich portion 200a and the second air-rich portion 200b. In the present embodiment, the partition 270 is illustrated as being provided in a flat plate shape connecting between the partition 150 provided in front of the fan apparatus 200 from the rear of the fan apparatus 200.

The partition 270 blocks the air between the first air rich portion 200a and the second air rich portion 200b so that air can not flow between the first air rich portion 200a and the second air rich portion 200b. The partition 270 separates the flow path formed inside the discharge portion 215 into the first flow path a and the second flow path b and allows the front air discharge ports 140 and 145 to communicate with the first flow path a, And a second front air discharge port (b) connected to the second flow path (b).

According to the present embodiment, the air escaping from the first blowing part 200a flows through the discharge part 215 to be discharged to the outside of the blowing device 200, and flows through the first flow path a. The air escaping from the second air inflow part 200b flows through the second flow path b which is partitioned from the first flow path a by the partition 270. The air flowing through the first flow path (a) and the air flowing through the second flow path (b) are not mixed with each other due to the presence of the partition wall 270, and the first front air outlet 140 and the second front air And is discharged to the outside of the indoor unit 1 through the discharge port 145.

The partition 270 may include a pair of partition walls 271 and 273 and a heat insulating member 275.

The pair of partition walls 271 and 273 are disposed so as to be spaced laterally, that is, in the thickness direction of the heat insulating member 275. Between the pair of partition walls 271 and 273, a receiving space in which the heat insulating member 275 can be accommodated can be formed.

The heat insulating member 275 is disposed between the pair of partition walls 271 and 273 and serves to insulate the space between the pair of partition walls 271. As one example, the heat insulating member 275 is formed to have a thicker thickness than each of the partition walls 271 and 273, thereby providing a more improved heat insulating effect.

FIG. 4 is a view showing an operation example of the discharge device shown in FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a view showing another operation example of the discharge device shown in FIG.

Hereinafter, the operation and effects of the air conditioner according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. Fig.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the operation of the air conditioner is started, heat exchange of air by the heat exchangers 310 and 315 is performed inside the air conditioning module 10 provided in the indoor unit 1, Exchanged air is discharged into the indoor space through the discharge devices 400 and 450. [

Specifically, when the operation of the air blowing apparatus 200 is started, a flow of air outside the indoor unit 1, that is, indoor air, is introduced into the air conditioning module 10, To the inside of the air conditioning module 10 through the two side portions of the air conditioning module 10.

At this time, the room air passes through the first air intake part 111 formed in the first intake body 110 and flows into the inside of the air conditioning module 10 through the left side of the air conditioning module 10, Through the second air intake part 121 formed in the air conditioning module 120 and may be introduced into the air conditioning module 10 through the right side of the air conditioning module 10.

The air introduced into the air conditioning module 10 is sucked into the air blowing device 200 and the air sucked into the air blowing device 200 is blown through the blowing device 200 As shown in FIG.

The air introduced into the air conditioning module 10 from the left side of the air conditioning module 10 through the first air intake part 111 is supplied to the inside of the air conditioning module 10 through the first air intake part 111 and the air blowing device 200 Exchanged by the first heat exchange unit 310 and then introduced into the interior of the air blowing device 200 through the first suction hole 211a formed in the first side plate 211 of the air blowing apparatus 200. [ The air introduced into the air conditioning module 10 from the right side of the air conditioning module 10 through the second air intake part 121 is supplied to the air intake part 121 through the second air intake part 121 and the air blowing device 200 Exchanged by the second heat exchanger 315 and then introduced into the blower 200 through the second suction hole 212a formed in the second side plate 212 of the blower 200. [

The air sucked into the air blowing device 200 is discharged to the front of the air blowing device 200 through the discharge portion 215 formed in front of the air blowing device 200. [ The air discharged to the front of the air blowing apparatus 200 passes through the front air discharge openings 140 and 145 and is discharged toward the outside of the indoor unit 1, that is, toward the indoor space.

That is, the air conditioner of the present embodiment includes a first heat exchanging unit 310 that sucks air at the left and right sides of the indoor unit 1, and air sucked through the respective points is installed at both sides of the indoor unit 1, Exchanged with at least one of the first heat exchanger 315 and the second heat exchanger 315, and then the heat exchanged air is discharged forward.

The air conditioner of the present embodiment sucks air from the side by using the air blowing device 200 which sucks air in the lateral direction and then concentrates and discharges the sucked air forward without change in the vertical direction or the lateral direction It is possible to reduce the flow path resistance while improving the air suction efficiency, thereby providing a further improved blowing performance.

In addition, the air conditioner of the present embodiment is configured such that the air is sucked from the side portion by using the air blowing device 200 that sucks the air in the lateral direction, and the air is sucked into the plurality of spaces formed between the air sucking portion and the air blowing device 200 The plurality of heat exchanging units 310 and 315 can be provided in the form of being disposed, respectively, so that the heat transfer area can be maximized and the improved cooling and heating performance can be provided.

Meanwhile, according to the above-described air conditioner, the operation of blowing through the left side and the operation of blowing through the right side thereof can be independently performed.

The operation of the second blowing module 200b is stopped and the second opening regulating member 450 is moved to the second front air discharging port 145. In this case, Only the first blowing module 200a is operated while the first opening adjusting member 400 covering the first front air discharging opening 140 is rotated in the left direction Thereby opening the first front air outlet 140. At this time, the degree of opening of the first front air outlet 140 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the first opening regulating member 400.

In this state, air is not blown through the right side of the indoor unit 1 in which the second blowing module 200b is disposed, but only through the left side of the indoor unit 1 in which the first blowing module 200a is disposed .

That is, only the operation of the first blow module 200a and the first opening regulating member 400 is performed, the air is sucked only through the first air suction unit 111 located on the left side of the indoor unit 1, The suctioned air is discharged to the discharge part 215 by the operation of the first blowing module 200a, and flows only through the first flow path a. The air flowing through the first flow path a is discharged to the outside of the indoor unit 1, that is, the indoor space only through the first front air outlet 140 formed on the front left side of the indoor unit 1, The intensive ventilation can be performed on a partial area of the indoor space located on the left side of the indoor unit 1.

As another example, in the case of intensive ventilation through the right side of the indoor unit 1, the operation of the first blowing module 200a is stopped, as shown in FIG. 4, 400 is rotated in the right direction so that the first front air outlet 140 is closed. The operation of only the second blowing module 200b is performed while the second opening regulating member 450 covering the second front air discharging opening 145 is rotated to the right to open the second front air discharging opening 145, . At this time, the degree of opening of the second front air outlet 145 can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the second opening regulating member 450.

In this state, air is not blown through the right side of the indoor unit 1 in which the second blowing module 200b is disposed, but only through the left side of the indoor unit 1 in which the first blowing module 200a is disposed .

Thus, air is sucked only through the second air intake part 121 located on the right side of the indoor unit 1, and the air thus sucked is sucked through the discharge part 215 by the operation of the second blowing module 200b. And flows only through the second flow path (b). The air flowing through the second flow path b is discharged to the outside of the indoor unit 1, that is, the indoor space only through the second front air discharge port 145 formed on the right front side of the indoor unit 1, The intensive ventilation can be performed on a part of the indoor space located on the right side of the indoor unit 1. [

As another example, when it is desired to implement airflow through the entire front area of the indoor unit 1, the first blowing module 200a and the second blowing module 200b are operated as shown in FIG. 5 While adjusting the positions of the first opening regulating member 400 and the second opening regulating member 450 such that both the first front air outlet 140 and the second front air outlet 145 are opened.

When both the first blowing module 200a and the second blowing module 200b are operated and both of the first front air discharging opening 140 and the second front air discharging opening 145 are opened, So that air blowing to the entire front area of the indoor unit 1 can be performed evenly.

The operation of the first blowing module 200a and the operation of the second blowing module 200b can be performed independently of the operation of the first blowing module 200a and the second blowing module 200b, It is possible to control airflow to be relatively weak on either side of the indoor unit 1 and blow air to a relatively strong degree on the other side of the indoor unit 1. [ It is a matter of course that the positions of the first opening regulating member 400 and the second opening regulating member 450 may be respectively regulated so that the blowing angles on the respective sides of the indoor unit 1 can be adjusted differently.

As another example, heat exchange for cooling may be performed in any one of the first heat exchanging unit 310 and the second heat exchanging unit 315, and the heat exchange may be performed between the first heat exchanging unit 310 and the second heat exchanging unit 315 One of the two sides of the indoor unit 1 is blown for cooling, and the other side of the indoor unit 1 is blown for heating, so that the air conditioner Operation may be performed.

On the other hand, when air is blown to only one of the two sides of the indoor unit 1, or when the air flow through the left side of the indoor unit 1 and the blow through the right side of the indoor unit 1 are at different temperatures, ) And the second flow path (b) may occur.

In consideration of this, in this embodiment, the partition 270 separating the first flow path (a) and the second flow path (b) is provided so as to include the heat insulating member 275 therein. The barrier rib 270 thus formed prevents the heat transfer between the wall surface adjacent to the first flow path a and the wall surface adjacent to the second flow path b so that the first flow path a and the second flow path b are partitioned It is possible to suppress the occurrence of dew condensation on the wall surface.

The air conditioner of the present embodiment as described above constitutes a flow path of a bidirectional suction type and a front direct discharge type in which air is sucked from both the left and right sides to concentrate and forwardly and the heat exchange portions 310 and 315 It is possible to improve the air suction efficiency and the heat transfer area while reducing the flow path resistance and to provide an improved ventilation performance compared to the size of the air conditioner.

In addition, the air conditioner of the present embodiment can efficiently perform the air blowing on the left / right side and the air blowing on the front side efficiently, and can also be provided with a plurality of blowing parts 200a, 200b and opening adjusting members 400, It is possible to provide a function of independently controlling the blowing amount, the blowing temperature, and the like of each part where blowing is performed.
