In an air conditioner, a drain extraction unit and a refrigerant pipe connecting unit may be disposed in a blocking region in which a discharge port is not provided so that a size of the discharge port may be secured and the discharge port may be uniformly disposed, thereby generating uniform airflow in a room. In a lower housing formed in a circular shape, some of components inside an indoor unit of the air conditioner may be disposed in a protrusion portion that protrudes from the circular housing, thereby facilitating the installation of the air conditioner. A condensate water collecting space disposed outside the housing may be provided in a drain tray, thereby efficiently preventing a leakage due to condensate water generated outside the housing. The housing, the drain tray, and the cover member of the air conditioner may be coupled by a coupling member coupled outside.

Air conditioner

Disclosed herein is an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet, a blade having a plurality of discharge holes and provided to discharge air through the plurality of discharge holes, a first opening formed between one side of the blade near the inlet and the housing when the blade discharges air through the plurality of discharge holes, and a second opening formed between the housing and the other side opposite to the one side of the blade when the blade discharges air through the plurality of discharge holes.

Disclosed herein is an air conditioner including a suction panel which includes a suction port through which air is suctioned in inside a housing. The suction panel is formed to rotate with an axial direction of an air blowing fan or a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the air blowing fan as a rotation axis to be coupled with or separated from the housing. Accordingly, a user may easily and intuitively separate the suction panel and falling of the suction panel, which may occur when the suction panel is separated, may be effectively reduced using a supporting unit disposed at the suction panel. Also, the housing and cover members which cover an outer perimeter of a lower portion of the housing may be coupled with each other by pressurizing the cover members toward the housing, thereby allowing the user to easily coupled the cover members.

Disclosed is an air conditioner to prevent deterioration of cooling or heating performance caused by re-introduction of cooling or heating air into a heat exchanger. The air conditioner includes a housing including an air discharge plate having a plurality of holes and an outlet, a heat exchanger located inside the housing, a blower fan configured to blow air heat-exchanged with the heat exchanger toward the air discharge plate or the outlet, a blade rotating between a guide position to guide a direction of air blown from the blower fan and discharged through the outlet and a closing position to close the outlet, wherein the blade includes a first blade and a second blade spaced apart from the first blade and configured to guide air blown from the blower fan toward the air discharge plate when the first blade is located at the closing position.

An air conditioner (AC) indoor unit includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet; a heat exchanger arranged inside the housing; a blower fan for sucking in air at the inlet to be subject to heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and discharging the heat-exchanged air out of the outlet; and an air flow control device for controlling an air flow discharged from the outlet by sucking in air around the outlet. The AC indoor unit may control the direction of a discharged air flow without a conventional blade structure, thereby increasing an amount of discharged air, reducing circulation noise, and enabling design differentiation.
