[0014] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an indoor unit of an air conditioner
according to an embodiment.
[0015] Referring to FIG. 1, the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner includes a chassis
11, a base 12, a front frame 13, and a front panel 14. A flow guide 111 for generating
airflow is provided on a front surface of the chassis 11. The base 12 is provided
on a back surface of the chassis 11 and fixed to an installation wall surface. The
front frame 13 is coupled to a front portion of the chassis 11. An intake grill 131
is provided on an upper surface of the front frame 13. The front panel 14 is movably
coupled to a front surface of the front frame 13.
[0016] The indoor unit 10 further includes an inner panel 15, a heat exchanger 19, a fan
20, and a discharge grill 16. The inner panel 15 is link-coupled to a back surface
of the front panel 14 and rotatably provided to the front frame 13. The heat exchanger
19 is disposed between the front frame 13 and the chassis 11. The fan 20 is provided
at a lower side of the heat exchanger 19 to suck and discharge indoor air. The discharge
grill 16 supports a lower end of the heat exchanger 19 and includes a discharge hole.
[0017] The indoor unit 10 further includes a discharge vane 21, a discharge louver 22, a
bottom plate 23, and a tubing holder 24. The discharge vane 21 selectively shields
the discharge hole. The discharge louver 22 is provided in the discharge hole to adjust
a discharge direction of air together with the discharge vane 21. The bottom plate
23 shields a piping passing through a lower end of the indoor unit 10. The tubing
holder 24 is rotatably coupled to the chassis 11 and supports the piping.
[0018] The indoor unit 10 further includes a pre-filter 17 and a dust-collecting filter
18. The pre-filter 17 filters air sucked through a front surface of the front frame
13 and the intake grill 131. The dust-collecting filter 18 is provided between the
pre-filter 17 and the heat exchanger 19.
[0019] FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating an operation state of an indoor unit of
an air conditioner according to an embodiment.
[0020] Referring to FIG. 2, in the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner, the discharge
grill 16 including the discharge hole is disposed at a lower side of the indoor unit
10. That is, the discharge hole is disposed in a bottom surface of the indoor unit
10, and the discharge vane 21 and the discharge louver 22 are disposed in the discharge
hole. Thus, sucked indoor air passes through the heat exchanger 19, and then, is discharged
through the bottom surface of the indoor unit 10.
[0021] A top surface of the front panel 13 defines a top surface of the indoor unit 10.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, the intake grill 131 is provided in the top surface of the
front panel 13. A side panel 25 is provided on a side surface of the front panel 13
to define a side portion of the indoor unit 10.
[0022] In order to suck the indoor air, the front panel 14 ascends while the front panel
14 is rotated by a link member 26. In detail, the front panel 14 ascends in a state
in which an upper end of the front panel 14 is inclined forwardly due to a rotation
of the link member 26. Thus, the indoor air is sucked through the intake grill 131,
and also, the indoor air is sucked through a space between the front frame 13 and
the front panel 14. At this time, the inner panel 15 disposed on the back surface
of the front panel 14 is fixedly maintained on a front surface of the front frame
13. An air intake hole is defined in the inner panel 15.
[0023] A moving sensor assembly 27 for detecting a movement of a human body is disposed
on an edge portion of a bottom surface of the indoor unit 10.
[0024] In detail, the moving sensor assembly 27 is inserted inside the indoor unit 10 in
a state where the indoor unit 10 does not operate. When the indoor unit 10 operates,
the moving sensor assembly 27 descends to protrude from a bottom surface of the indoor
unit 10. The moving sensor assembly 27 is rotatably disposed at a predetermined angle
with respect to a vertical axis.
[0025] The moving sensor assembly 27 protrudes from the bottom surface of the indoor unit
10 by a predetermined length and is disposed rotatably in left and right directions
(horizontal direction). Thus, a range capable of detecting the movement of the human
body increases.
[0026] FIGS. 3 and 4 are perspective views of an indoor unit in which a front panel is opened
for separating a filter.
[0027] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, in case of the indoor unit 10 according to an embodiment,
a lower portion of the front panel 14 ascends for replacing the filter.
[0028] In detail, the pre-filter 17 is disposed on the front surface of the front frame
13, and the inner panel 15 is disposed on a front surface of the pre-filter 17. The
inner panel 15 is closely attached to the front surface of the front frame 13 during
the operation of the indoor unit 10. Only the front panel 14 ascends as illustrated
in FIG. 2.
[0029] When the front panel 14 ascends for replacing the filter, the inner panel 15 ascends
together in a state where the inner panel 15 is closely attached to the back surface
of the front panel 14. This is done because the front panel 14 and the inner panel
15 are connected to each other by the link member 26.
[0030] A support 28 is rotatably connected to a back surface of the inner panel 15. In detail,
the support 28 has one end rotatably connected to the back surface of the inner panel
15 and the other end vertically and slidably coupled to the front surface of the front
frame 13.
[0031] A guide recess or a guide rail for guiding movement of the support 28 may be provided
in/on the front surface of the front frame 13. Thus, when the front panel 14 ascends,
an end portion of the support 28 connected to the front panel 28 descends. When the
ascent of the front panel 14 is stopped in a state where the support 28 descends up
to a distance at least perpendicular to the front frame 13, a lower end of the front
panel 14 is supported in an opened state. In the opened state, the filter 17 is pulled
to separate the filter 17 from the indoor unit 10.
[0032] The link member 26 includes a lower link 261 and an upper link 262 disposed over
the lower link 261. Lower ends of the lower link 261 and the upper link 262 are rotatably
connected to the back surface of the front panel 14. Upper ends of the lower link
261 and the upper link 162 are rotatably connected to the inner panel 15. A hole through
which the link member 26 passes is defined in the inner panel 15.
[0033] Thus, when a user lifts the front panel 14, the inner panel 15 is lifted together.
When lower ends of the front panel 14 and the inner panel 15 are rotated with respect
to upper ends of the front panel 14 and the inner panel 15, the end portion of the
support 28 descends along the front surface of the front frame 13 to support the inner
panel 15.
[0034] FIG. 5 is a side view illustrating an ascent of a front panel of an indoor unit according
to an embodiment.
[0035] Referring to FIG. 5, when a drive command is inputted in the indoor unit 10, the
front panel ascends.
[0036] In detail, an automatic ascending/descending structure of the front panel 14 includes
the link member 26 and a drive unit 30. Both end portions of the link member 26 are
connected to the front panel 14 and the inner panel 15, respectively. The drive unit
30 provides a rotation force to the link member 26.
[0037] In further detail, an end portion of the upper link 262 of the link member 26 is
connected to the drive unit 30, and the link member 26 is rotated by the rotation
force generated in the drive unit 30. A receiver 263 having a gear shape protrudes
from the end portion of the upper link 262, i.e., an end portion rotatably connected
to the inner panel 15. The receiver 263 is engaged with a second gear 352 (see FIG.
7) of the drive unit 30.
[0038] The lower link 261 is shorter than the upper link 262. Thus, the front panel 14 ascends
in a state where the front panel 14 is slightly inclined in a front direction. That
is to say, the upper end of the front panel 14 is inclined a direction away from the
front surface of the indoor unit 10, and the lower end of the front panel 14 ascends
in a state where the lower end of the front panel 14 is adjacent to the front frame
13. That is, a horizontal distance between an upper portion of the front panel 14
and the front frame 13 is greater than that between a lower portion of the front panel
14 and the front frame 13.
[0039] Thus, the indoor air is sucked from the upper portion and both sides of the front
panel 14. A portion of the discharge hole defined in the lower end of the indoor unit
10 is opened while the front panel 14 ascends. The discharge vane 21 is rotated to
open a remaining portion of the discharge hole. Here, since the front panel 14 ascends
in a state where the upper end of the front panel 14 is inclined and the most of indoor
air is sucked from an upper side of the indoor unit 10, it prevents the air discharged
through the discharge hole from being sucked again into the indoor unit 10.
[0040] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a front panel drive unit according to an embodiment,
and FIG. 7 is an exploded perspective view of the drive unit.
[0041] Referring to FIGS. 6 and 7, the drive unit 30 according to this embodiment includes
a drive motor 31, a bracket 32, and a power transmission unit. The bracket 32 is coupled
to the drive motor 31. The power transmission unit is disposed on a side opposite
to the drive motor 31 with respect to the bracket 32. The bracket 32 is fixed to the
back surface of the front frame.
[0042] In detail, the power transmission unit includes a drive gear 33, a transmission gear
34, and a driven gear 35. The drive gear 33 is connected to a rotation shaft of the
drive motor 31. The transmission gear 34 is engaged with the drive gear 33. The driven
gear 35 is engaged with the transmission gear 34. The driven gear 35 includes a first
gear 351 and the second gear 352.
[0043] The first gear 351 has an approximately semicircular shape. The second gear 352 is
integrated or coupled with/to the first gear 351. The first gear 351 is rotatably
engaged with the transmission gear 34, and the second gear 352 is rotatably engaged
with the receiver 263 of the upper link 262.
[0044] An operation of the drive unit 30 will now be described. When a power is applied
to the drive motor 31, the drive gear 33, the transmission gear 34, and driven gear
35 are rotated in a state of being engaged with each other. When the second gear 352
is rotated, the receiver 263 is rotated to rotate the upper link 262. As a result,
the front panel 14 is rotated and ascends. Since the lower link 261 is shorter than
the upper link 262, the front panel 14 ascends in a state where the front panel 14
is inclined forwardly. The front panel 14 is moved to open the indoor air intake hole.
[0045] In order to clean or replace the filter, when the lower end of the front panel 14
is lifted, the receiver 263 is released from the engagement coupling with the second
gear 352. The lower ends of front panel 14 and the inner panel 15 are rotated forwardly
together with respect to the upper ends of the front panel 14 and the inner panel
15.
[0046] Although the receiver 263 is provided on the lower link 262 in this embodiment, the
present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example, the receiver 263 may be provided
on the upper link 261. Also, although the plurality of gears is engaged with the drive
unit 30 in this embodiment, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. For example,
a member having the same function as the driven gear 35 may be directly connected
to the rotation shaft of the drive motor 31. In addition, a power transmission unit
having a shape different from a combination of the gears provided in this embodiment
may be applicable.
[0047] According the proposed embodiment, the front panel constituting the front portion
of the indoor unit ascends and is rotated to suck the indoor air from the upper portion
and both sides of the front surface of the indoor unit. Thus, an intake area of the
indoor air increases.
[0048] Also, even if an air intake hole 151 defined in the front surface of the indoor unit
is opened, since the air intake hole 151 is covered by the front panel, the air intake
hole 151 is not exposed to the user. Therefore, the outer appearance of the indoor
unit can be neatly finished.
[0049] In addition, when the front panel is lifted upwardly in order to clean or replace
the filter, the inner panel is lifted together with the front panel. Therefore, the
user can easily clean or replace the filter.
[0050] While the present disclose has been particularly shown and described with reference
to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill
in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing
from the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the following claims.
