Description

A modular air conditioner, and air conditioning system

The present invention relates to a module air conditioner and an air conditioning system.

An air conditioner is a device that performs air conditioning and creates an environment of temperature and humidity desired by the user. The air conditioner is positioned as an indispensable product in modern life.

Air conditioners using a refrigerant are widely used because the system can obtain a high coefficient of performance. As an air conditioner that uses a refrigerant and hangs on the wall, there is an air conditioner with application number 1020160093400.

These air conditioners must have a refrigerant pipe connected to the air conditioner and connected to an outdoor device. The refrigerant pipe may adversely affect the indoor environment. In addition, there are problems such as restrictions on installation locations and restrictions on air conditioning environments.

In view of these problems, a built-in air conditioning system or a building air conditioning system in which the built-in air conditioning system is extended are widely used in new buildings.

In the built-in air conditioning system or building air conditioning system, only the air inlet and outlet are exposed to the outside, and the refrigerant pipe is not exposed. In addition, since it is possible to implement an air-conditioning environment reflecting the indoor structure at the time of design, an optimal air-conditioning environment can be implemented. The satisfaction that residents feel in the environment of the built-in air conditioning system or building air conditioning system is great.

The built-in air conditioning system or building air conditioning system can be applied only to new buildings because the air conditioning system must be reflected in advance when designing.

Application No. 1020160093400 Air conditioner

The present invention proposes a module air conditioner and an air conditioning system capable of implementing a built-in air conditioning system and a building air conditioning system that are difficult to apply to houses and buildings in which design and construction are completed, to existing buildings.

In the module air conditioner according to the present invention, a lower surface facing an indoor space; A discharge area provided at one corner of the lower surface; And at least two discharge vanes provided in the discharge area. Accordingly, it is possible to control the air-conditioning air discharged from the module air conditioner in more various ways.

Since the at least two discharge vanes can rotate independently of each other, it is possible to blow air-conditioning air into a wider space of an indoor space in accordance with various operation modes.

The at least two discharge vanes may extend in the same direction. According to this, the air conditioning air discharged from the discharge vanes does not interfere with each other, so that an efficient air conditioning environment can be provided.

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided an air conditioning system comprising: a module air conditioner having at least two discharge vanes; And a circulator that sucks and discharges air-conditioning air discharged from at least one of the at least two discharge vanes. By using this air conditioning system, it is possible to build a built-in air conditioning system suitably through optimal design for pre-built buildings of various structures and shapes.

By preventing the discharge vane facing the circulator from rotating, it is possible to improve the usability of the circulator.

The at least two discharge vanes rotate independently of each other, so that various air conditioning modes can be established.

The circulator is installed on the ceiling of an indoor space, thereby providing optimal air conditioning air to a wider indoor space.

The circulator includes a fan housing in which a blowing fan is accommodated; A suction grill provided above the fan housing to suck the air-conditioning air; And a discharge unit provided under the fan housing to discharge the air-conditioning air. According to this, a configuration of upper suction and lower discharge is provided, so that air-conditioning air can be discharged into a wide space.

An inlet guide through which a portion facing the module air conditioner is cut is provided inside the suction grill, so that intake efficiency of air-conditioning air discharged from the module air conditioner excluding other external air can be improved.

A blowing guide is provided inside the discharge unit in which a portion is cut to guide the discharge direction of the air-conditioning air, so that the discharged air can be controlled and discharged in a desired direction.

The discharge unit is provided to be freely lifted up and down, so that the flow rate of the air-conditioning air discharged may be adjusted.

A lighting device provided at at least one of the fan housing, the discharge part, and the suction grill may be further included, so that the operation state may be notified to the user.

According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the satisfaction of consumers with respect to the air conditioning environment by implementing the advantages of the built-in air conditioning system and the building air conditioning system even for existing buildings.

According to the present invention, since the discharge vane of a single module air conditioner can be separately controlled, various air conditioning environments can be provided for the interior of the main building.

According to the present invention, since the circulator can be operated together with the module air conditioner, even when a single module air conditioner is installed, an air conditioning environment corresponding to the building air conditioning system can be established for the main building.

Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the spirit of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and those skilled in the art who understand the spirit of the present invention can easily facilitate other embodiments by adding, changing, deleting, and canceling components within the scope of the same idea. It may be suggested, but it will be said that this is also included within the scope of the inventive concept.

1 is a perspective view of a module air conditioner according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 1, a module air conditioner 1 according to an embodiment is an air conditioner installed on a ceiling, and has a lower surface 11 facing an indoor space. Since the lower surface 11 is provided as a flat surface, it can have a configuration of feeling and feeling integrated with the ceiling like a built-in air conditioner. The lower surface 11 has a rectangular portion 12 having an elongated one direction and a round portion 13 placed at an end portion of the rectangular portion 12 in the longitudinal direction.

The lower surface 11 forms one surface of the installation portion 10 of the module air conditioner 1, and the installation portion 10 may be equipped with components necessary for the operation of the module air conditioner 1. Components on which at least a portion of the installation unit 10 is placed may include a drip tray for collecting condensed water, a fan for generating a flow of cold air, and an evaporator for evaporating refrigerant.

A ceiling portion 20 is provided above the installation portion 10. The ceiling portion 20 may be a part for fastening to the ceiling. The ceiling portion 20 is provided in a concave cross-section toward the top, and can be conveniently applied when mounted on the ceiling. A pipe that violates the refrigerant and condensate may pass through the ceiling part 20.

A connection groove 22 through which the pipe passes may be provided at an upper end of the ceiling portion 20. The connection groove 22 may be provided at an end portion of the ceiling 20 in the longitudinal direction, and accordingly, at least two module air conditioners 1 may be conveniently connected in the longitudinal direction. A cover for covering the connection groove 22 may be further provided to close the connection groove 22. When there is no pipe leading from the corresponding module air conditioner 1, the connection groove 22 may be provided with a clean appearance of the product by closing the connection groove 22.

Figure 2 is a three-sided view of the module air conditioner, Figure 2 (a) is a front view, Figure 2 (b) is a bottom view, Figure 2 (c) is a side view.

Referring to FIG. 2, the installation part 10 is provided upwardly with a predetermined height. The installation part 10 is a part that can be exposed to the outside in an indoor environment, and may be a door for mounting parts, a product repair, and a prominent exterior part of the product.

On the upper side of the installation part 10, a ceiling portion 20 is provided that is concavely inclined toward the upper side. The interior of the ceiling portion 20 may provide an accommodation space in which parts are placed, and may be directly fastened to the indoor ceiling.

On the lower surface 11, the rectangular portion 12 and the round portion 13 may provide a two-dimensional intake area 15 for air intake. The suction area 15 extends to half of the round part 13 as well as the suction side area of the square part 12. A blocking film 27 is provided inside the boundary line of the suction area 15 to prevent reverse flow of sucked air.

Since the module air conditioner 1 can suck air through a large area defined by the suction area 15, flow resistance of the air may be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to compensate for the flow path resistance that may occur due to the relatively narrow internal space of the ceiling portion 20.

A first installation area 17 may be provided on the other half of the round portion 13 except for one half providing the suction area 15. Parts necessary for the operation of the module air conditioner 1, such as a pump and electric parts, may be installed in the first installation area 17.

A second installation area 18 may be provided in the center of the rectangular part 12 in the longitudinal direction. A structure such as a drip tray and a blocking film may be provided on the second installation area 18.

A discharge area 16 may be provided in the rectangular part 12 facing the suction area 15. A discharge vane 14 is installed in the discharge area 16 to control wind direction and air volume.

3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of A-A' of FIG. 1.

Referring to FIG. 3, a case forming the exterior of the module air conditioner 1 provides the exterior of the installation portion 10 and the ceiling portion 20. An installation frame 26 is provided on the upper end of the ceiling 20 so that the module air conditioner 1 may be fixed to the indoor ceiling.

Inside the case, a fan 21 is placed at an approximately center side of the inner space. An evaporator 22 is provided on the right side of the fan 21, that is, on the suction side. The evaporator 22 may be provided in a curved shape and may be provided in a form surrounding the fan 21. Accordingly, it is possible to improve the heat exchange performance of the evaporator 22.

A drip tray 23 and 24 are provided at the end of the evaporator 22 to discharge condensed water from the evaporator to the outside, and a pump 25 for discharging the evaporator is installed corresponding to the first installation area 17 Can be. A blocking film 27 may be provided at a location corresponding to the second drip tray 24. The blocking film 27 may block the air-conditioned air from flowing back to the suction side.

The blocking film 27 is provided because the same lower surface 11 has a suction area 15 and a discharge area 16 together, and the suction area 15 and the discharge area 16 are adjacent to each other. The blocking film 27 prevents the air sucked into the suction area 15 from flowing back to the suction area 15 again, thereby reducing flow loss.

In other words, in order for the air sucked into the suction area 15 in the narrow inner space of the module air conditioner 1 to be discharged to the discharge area 16, a path change of 180 degrees is performed. During the path change, a large flow resistance occurs. The air passing through the evaporator may flow back to the suction side by the flow resistance. The blocking layer may prevent the air-conditioned air from flowing backward.

In order to further reduce the flow resistance, the unevenness of the suction grill provided in the suction area 15 may be inclined toward the fan 21. The suction area 15 includes both a square portion 21 and a round portion 13, and the irregularities and inclination angles of the suction grille are formed by a square portion 21 and a round portion providing the suction area 15 ( 13) can all be provided.

A pipe may be placed on the upper side of the ceiling portion 20. The pipe may include a condensed water pipe 102 through which condensed water is discharged and a refrigerant pipe 101 through which a refrigerant flows. The condensate water pipe 102 and the refrigerant pipe 101 may be guided outdoors, and may be connected to another module air conditioner (1).

FIG. 4 is a view for explaining the ceiling of an existing building, and FIG. 5 is a view for explaining an installation mode of a module air conditioner according to an embodiment installed in an existing building.

First, the basic building is a building that has already been completed but the built-in air conditioning system is not reflected, or a building that was designed in a state in which the air conditioning system design was not reflected at the time of design, or a person already lives but the built-in air conditioning system is not It may refer to buildings, etc.

Referring to FIG. 4, unless there is an exceptional case for design, the ceiling 30 of the base building is finished by covering the aggregate using wood or composite materials. A ceiling frame 32 in which electric wiring, etc. is placed is placed on the ceiling on which the finishing treatment has been performed. The ceiling frame 32 has a height (H) with a gap of a predetermined size. A portion having a predetermined height inside the ceiling frame 32 may be abbreviated as a ceiling fastening 31.

It was confirmed that the ceiling fastening 31 has various heights with a width of 50 to 240 mm, according to the survey results of the inventors.

The module air conditioner 1 according to the embodiment fully utilizes the inner space of the ceiling speed 31 and is installed in an indoor space, and is installed at a required position without removing the entire ceiling frame 32, And it is installed intensively in response to the case of the various ceiling speeds 31, it is intended to be installed modularized.

5 is a view showing a type of the module air conditioner according to the embodiment is installed in a base building. Fig. 5(a) is a view when the module air conditioner is buried when the ceiling speed is sufficient, and Fig. 5(b) is a view when the module air conditioner is half buried when the ceiling speed is insufficient, and Fig. 5( c) is a diagram when the module air conditioner is exposed when there is almost no ceiling speed.

Referring to FIG. 5A, the module air conditioner 1 has an upper end of the installation part 10 corresponding to the ceiling frame 32. In other words, the height of the lower end of the ceiling frame 32 and the upper end of the installation part 10 may be matched. This installation example can be implemented when the ceiling speed is sufficient.

According to this configuration, the installation part 10 in which the main parts of the module air conditioner 1 are installed is exposed to the outside, so that additional work such as an action with the outside and a repair can be conveniently performed. Additionally, by exposing the entire installation portion 10 to the outside, a clean installation feeling can be provided.

Meanwhile, in this case, the ceiling portion 20 may be fastened without contacting the uppermost end of the indoor space, that is, the ceiling. In this case, there may be a predetermined gap between the installation frame 26 and the ceiling 30, and in this case, the installation frame 26 may be suspended from the ceiling to be installed.

Referring to FIG. 5B, in the module air conditioner 1, a part of the ceiling 20 is exposed to the outside, and the other part of the module air conditioner 1 may be placed inside the ceiling fastening 31. This installation example can be implemented when the ceiling speed is insufficient.

In this installation example, an assembly frame 35 may be provided corresponding to the ceiling frame 32.

The inner opening of the assembly frame 35 may be provided in a shape having a long square portion in one direction and a round portion at both ends in the length direction of the square portion so as to correspond to the horizontal cross-section of the ceiling portion 20. In other words, it may be provided in a shape corresponding to the shape of the lower surface 11. Accordingly, when the module air conditioner is fastened, the weak appearance of the ceiling portion 20 can be protected by the assembly frame 35. For example, the ceiling portion 20 may be fixed to the ceiling 30 while the assembly frame 35 is fastened to the ceiling portion 20. A sense of unity between the module air conditioner 1 and the ceiling frame 32 may be improved by the assembly frame 35.

6 is a view for explaining a combination of the assembly frame and the module air conditioner.

Referring to FIG. 6, the ceiling portion 20 of the module air conditioner may be inserted into an inner opening of the assembly frame 35. The outer frame of the assembly frame 35 may be provided in the same shape as the lower surface 11 to enhance a sense of unity.

Referring back to FIG. 5(c), it is a view when the module air conditioner is exposed because there is almost no ceiling speed in an indoor space. The end of the ceiling portion 20 contacts the ceiling 30 so that a large portion of the module air conditioner 1 is exposed indoors.

This installation example can be applied even when there is no ceiling frame 32 indoors.

In this installation example, the connection covers 21 at both ends of the upper portion of the ceiling 20 may be exposed to the outside. The connection cover 21 is a component that covers the connection groove 22 through which the pipe passes.

The connection groove 22 may be exposed when an adjacent module air conditioner 1 is further installed or a pipe is extended to the outdoor side. In this case, the connection groove 22 may not be covered by the connection cover 21.

7 is a diagram illustrating an air conditioning system provided by installing a module air conditioner.

Referring to FIG. 7, the air conditioning system according to the embodiment includes a first module air conditioner 100, a second module air conditioner 200 connected to the first module air conditioner 100, and the module air conditioner 100, 200. Pipes 101 and 102 to connect are included. The pipes 101 and 102 may be covered by the connection pipe cover 70.

According to the air conditioning system, air-conditioned air of the length connecting the module air conditioners 100 and 200 can be provided. For example, when the indoor space is wide or long, the air conditioning system can be configured by connecting the two module air conditioners to one corner of the long indoor space in one direction, that is, the extension direction of the indoor space. In this case, an air conditioning system that actively responds to the indoor environment can be provided.

In the drawing, it is suggested that the module air conditioners 100 and 200 are connected in a straight line by the connection cover. In other words, the air conditioning system provided by the module air conditioners 100 and 200 is a structure extending in one direction by the square portion 12 of each module air conditioner 100 and 200. Each of the module air conditioners 100 and 200 is connected by the connection pipe cover 70, so that the air conditioning system according to the embodiment may be provided with an extended direction in a straight line.

However, the air conditioning system according to the embodiment is not limited to this configuration, and may be variously proposed according to various configurations of the existing building.

As another example, the connection pipe cover 70 may be provided in a curved shape. In this case, the module air conditioners 100 and 200 may be connected and extended in different directions. In this case, each module air conditioner may be disposed longer in different directions. The air conditioning air of the module air conditioners 100 and 200 may have a discharge direction suitable for an indoor space.

As another example, the connection pipe cover 70 may be provided long. In this case, the module air conditioners 100 and 200 may not be attached to each other and may be separated by a predetermined distance. For example, by providing a long connection pipe cover 70 connecting the living room and the master room, the module air conditioner in the master room and the module air conditioner in the living room are connected to each other by the connection pipe cover 70 to perform an interlocking action.

In this case, the module air conditioners may be interlocked with each other by a refrigerant pipe and a condensate pipe used together. The connection pipe cover 70 may extend at least along the ceiling frame 32.

Including the connection pipe cover 70, a pipe cover provided to the air conditioning system according to an embodiment and an air conditioning system in which the pipe cover is used will be described.

8 is an embodiment of an air conditioning system according to the embodiment, and FIG. 9 is a view showing an application example of a pipe cover used in the air conditioning system of FIG. 8.

8 and 9, a condensate pipe 102 and a refrigerant pipe 101 connected to the outdoor side are introduced into the room from the outdoor side. The incoming pipe may be covered by the cover 250.

The cover 250 may extend along the edge of the indoor space, and a pipe may be placed in the inner space of the cover 250. Other members, such as a power line, may be sufficiently placed inside the cover, and for convenience of explanation, a pipe is exemplified and described.

The cover 250 includes the connection pipe cover 70, and may further include a straight cover 40, a ceiling cover 50, and a bent cover 60. In order for the covers to be connected to each other, among both ends of each cover 250, one end may have a low step and the other end may have a high step. By overlapping the steps of the pair of facing each other, the surface to which the cover is fastened may be provided flat.

The straight cover 40 may extend in a straight line to cover the extended pipe when the pipe extends long in one direction.

The ceiling cover 50 may be provided at a portion where the pipe is bent so as to extend upward along the side edge of the indoor space and then extend along the lower surface of the ceiling 30. As provided in the perspective view of the ceiling cover 50 shown in FIG. 10, the ceiling cover 50 includes an upper and lower component 51 capable of extending vertically from an edge of the interior space, and the ceiling 30. Left and right components 52 extending in the left and right directions along the lower surface of) may be included.

A straight cover 40 connected to the ceiling cover 50 may be further provided to further extend the pipe cover to the interior. In this case, the position where the module air conditioner 1 is installed may be further moved from the window to the indoor space.

It will be described in detail.

Referring to FIG. 9, a straight cover 40 extending along the ceiling may be provided between the ceiling cover 50 and the bent cover 60. The module air conditioners 100 and 200 may be spaced apart from a corner of one surface of the indoor space by a predetermined distance (W). In other words, a predetermined interval W may be spaced apart from the window 300.

Since the window 300 and the module air conditioner 100 and 200 are spaced apart by a predetermined interval (W), it is possible to provide an air conditioning environment closer to the central part of the indoor space, and the influence of the light flowing through the window Can be reduced. According to such an air conditioning system, it is possible to prevent the problem of deterioration of each component due to sunlight, and to increase user satisfaction by bringing the air conditioning system a little closer to the user.

The air conditioning system may provide a user with a more diverse sense of satisfaction through various covers 40, 50, 60, and 70.

When the pipe is guided to the installation location of the module air conditioners 100 and 200, a bending cover 60 may be further provided to cover the bending portion of the pipe. Following the bending cover 60, the straight cover 40 may be further provided, and a pipe may be guided to the module air conditioners 100 and 200.

11 is a perspective view of a bending cover, in which the bending cover 60 has a first left and right component 61 extending in one direction, and a second left and right component extending in a different direction from the first left and right components 61 (62) is included. The direction of the pipe extending along the ceiling can be changed by the difference in the extending direction of the left and right components 61 and 62.

The connection pipe cover 70 may be provided at the contact portion of the module air conditioners 100 and 200 to allow the module air conditioners to interlock with each other. Here, the meaning of interlocking may mean that the refrigerant is delivered to all module air conditioners by a single pipe. In a different sense, it may mean that different pipes are guided together by the same connection pipe cover 70. According to this, installation becomes simple, the indoor space becomes beautiful, and the work can be conveniently performed.

Even if the module air conditioners 100 and 200 are in contact, since the ceiling portion 20 is concave, the connection pipe cover 70 is preferably provided.

As each of the module air conditioners 100 and 200 are interlocked, a larger air conditioning system as a whole can be provided in more variety in response to various indoor environments.

The module air conditioner is provided with the suction area 15 and the discharge area 16 together on a single surface. Accordingly, the wind direction fluctuation is large, and the wind speed is limited. In view of this problem, a plan such as increasing the size of the module air conditioner itself may be provided, but increasing the size is not desirable because it causes various problems.

In view of this problem, a module air conditioner and an air conditioning system according to another embodiment that solves the disadvantages of the module air conditioner are presented below. On the other hand, in describing the following embodiments, the same description applies to the same parts as the original embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.

12 is a perspective view of a module air conditioner according to another embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 12, as already described, on the lower surface 11 of the module air conditioner, a suction area 15 and a discharge area 16 into which outside air is sucked are provided. In this embodiment, the discharge area 16 is provided separately. In detail, a first discharge vane 141 and a second discharge vane 142 divided in the longitudinal direction of the discharge area 16 and capable of rotating independently of each other may be provided.

The discharge vanes 141 and 142 may be elongated in the same direction. According to this, the discharged air-conditioning air does not mix or interfere with each other, so that the indoor space can be air-conditioned more efficiently.

The two discharge vanes 141 and 142 may have two discharge ports that are separated from each other, or a single discharge port may be used together. Likewise, the evaporator 22 may be shared, or a separate evaporator may be provided. However, it does not change that the discharge vanes 141 and 142 can rotate independently of each other.

One of the two discharge vanes 141 and 142 may be intensively blown to a specific area, and the other may blow air-conditioning air to several places. For example, the first discharge vane 141 continuously blows air to the position where the sofa is placed, thereby enhancing the user's satisfaction. In contrast, the second discharge vane 142 can blow air-conditioning air to another area of the room by continuing the vertical rotation operation.

According to this, not only can the user's satisfaction be improved even by relatively weak wind speed, but also air conditioning can be performed on the entire indoor space.

The module air conditioner according to the present embodiment can create an air conditioning environment only in an area exposed to the air conditioning air by the discharge vanes 141 and 142. Accordingly, in an environment that is in the same space and separated from each other, since a separate module air conditioner must be additionally installed, the cost is high. This problem may be further increased due to the problem that the wind speed of the module air conditioner is small.

Hereinafter, another embodiment for solving the above problem is presented. However, in the present another embodiment, since the contents of the above-described embodiment are applied, the description of parts to which the same description can be applied is omitted, and the description of the embodiment is applied as it is.

13 is a diagram illustrating an air conditioning system according to another embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 13, a circulator 400 is provided where air-conditioning air blown by the first discharge vane 141 of the module air conditioner 1 can be directly contacted. The circulator is a device that blows inhaled air-conditioning air into a wider indoor space at a larger wind speed. The circulator may further include a wind direction guide device for guiding the wind direction and a wind speed increase device for increasing the wind speed therein. The detailed configuration of the circulator will be described later.

The circulator 400 may be fixed to a ceiling. Accordingly, the air-conditioning air blown from the first discharge vane 141 may be blown more widely into the indoor space through the circulator 400. The circulator 400 is fixed to the ceiling and can blow air-conditioning air far from the indoor space.

The direction of the first discharge vane 141 may be fixed so that air-conditioning air can be blown to the circulator 400. In other words, the first discharge vane 141 may not move and blow air-conditioning air toward the circulator 400.

In this case, the second discharge vane 142 may rotate or may not rotate. As a preferred example, the second discharge vane 142 may blow air-conditioning air in a fixed state toward the user's main residential space, for example, a sofa in which the user sits. Accordingly, the user's direct satisfaction can be increased.

Of course, it is not limited in this case, and the air-conditioning air blown from the first discharge vane 141 may be blown to only one location by the circulator 400. In this case, the circulator 400 may not rotate. At this time, the second discharge vane 142 performs a rotating operation to blow air-conditioning air into a wider indoor space.

In another case, the first discharge vane 141 may rotate to intermittently blow air conditioning air to the circulator 400. Even in this case, the circulator 400 may or may not rotate. When the circulator 400 rotates, the weakest cold air may be supplied to a corresponding region. When the circulator 400 does not rotate, it is weak, but the level of cold air desired by the user may be supplied intermittently.

As seen from the above description, the air conditioning system according to another exemplary embodiment may blow intermittent air conditioning air having various air volumes and wind speeds to various places in an indoor space according to a user's desired condition.

In the air conditioning system of the present embodiment, it can be more preferably implemented by installing a single large-scale module air conditioner and additionally installing a circulator. In this case, there is an advantage of being able to construct a building air conditioning system or a built-in air conditioning system at low cost.

14 is a bottom perspective view of the circulator, and FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of the circulator.

14 and 15, the circulator 400 has a suction grill 410 fastened to a support bar 470, a suction grill 410 fastened to a lower end of the suction grill 410, and a blowing fan 430 therein. A fan housing 440 to be accommodated, an inlet guide 420 for determining the direction of air flow sucked through the suction grill 410, and a discharge unit 460 provided under the fan housing 440 are included.

The support bar 470 has upper and lower ends connected to the ceiling and the suction grill 410 so that the circulator 400 can be spaced apart from the ceiling by a predetermined distance. The position of the suction grill 410 may be provided at a height such that air-conditioning air discharged from the first discharge vane 141 can directly contact. At this time, the first discharge vane 141 may be moved upward. Through this, it is possible to blow air-conditioning air to a high place in the indoor space.

To this end, the blowing guide 450 has a bell shape and may be partially cut. Air-conditioning air may be discharged through the cut-out portion of the blowing guide 450.

The blowing guide 450 may be provided to be rotatable by an adjustment motor (not shown) or to be manually operated. In this case, air conditioning air can be blown to various indoor spaces.

The shielding film 461 is to primarily shield the air discharged from the blowing fan 450 so that the air-conditioning air is discharged in a certain direction.

The discharge part 460 and the fan housing 440 may be fastened by a fastening bar 463. The fastening bar may be provided in a manner in which the length is not adjusted.

In another case, according to the use state of the circulator, the discharge part 460 may be raised and integrated into the fan housing 440, and the discharge part 460 may be lowered to discharge air-conditioning air. By adjusting the degree to which the discharge part is lowered, the wind speed of the air-conditioning air discharged may be adjusted.

16 is a view for explaining the action of the fastening bar.

Referring to FIG. 16, an upper end of the fastening bar 463 may extend to the inside of the fan housing 440. A rack 464 is provided at the extended end of the fastening bar 463, and the rack 464 may be engaged with the pinion 465 of the motor. The motor may be fastened to the fan housing.

According to the interaction between the rack 464 and the pinion 465, the rack 464 can be raised and lowered by the forward and reverse rotation of the pinion 465, and accordingly, the fastening bar 463 is the fan housing You can go up and down inside and outside of the car.

Referring again to FIGS. 14 and 16, the air discharged from the first discharge vane 141 is first introduced into the circulator 400 through the suction grill 410. At this time, only the air-conditioning air discharged from the module air conditioner can be intensively introduced by the inlet guide 420.

The air-conditioning air may pass through the blower fan 430 and move downward to be guided to the discharge unit 460. The blowing guide 450 may be provided inside the discharge part 460. The blowing guide 450 may be partially cut to discharge air-conditioning air only in a predetermined direction.

In this case, when the fastening bar 463 is provided as a component capable of lifting and lowering, the discharge part 460 is moved downward and placed.

By adjusting the distance that the discharge part moves downward by the fastening bar, the flow rate of the air-conditioning air discharged from the discharge part 460 may be further adjusted.

For example, when the fastening bar is slightly lowered downward, air-conditioning air may flow at a higher wind speed, and when the fastening bar is lowered a lot, air-conditioning air may flow at a smaller wind speed.

A lighting device 445 may be provided at at least one of the shielding film 461, the fan housing 440, and the suction grill 410. The lighting device 445 may irradiate light to perform both an air conditioning function and an indoor lighting function. In an embodiment, a lighting device is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fan housing 440.

The lighting device 445 may implement various lighting states corresponding to an operating state of a general lighting, a module air conditioner, a circulator, or an air conditioning system.
