Disclosed is an air conditioner, and more particularly, to an air conditioner having an airflow guide to make the flow of discharged air uniform. An air conditioner comprising a housing having a suction port and a discharge port, a heat exchanger arranged inside the housing, a blower fan configured to suck in air through the suction port, force the air to be subject to heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and discharge the heat-exchanged air through the discharge port, a first blade pivotally arranged to open or close the discharge port and having a first face and a second face opposite of the first face, a first flow path formed between the discharge port and the first face, a second flow path formed between the discharge port and the second face, a second blade movably installed inside the housing and a third blade formed to protrude from the second blade to guide air to the first flow path and the second flow path.

Air conditioner

An outdoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing including an outlet, a fan disposed inside the housing, and a guide guiding air flowing by the fan, wherein the guide includes an inflow portion provided to guide air introduced into the housing to the fan and a diffuser extending from the inflow portion to guide air passing through the fan to the outlet. The inflow portion includes a duct connected to the diffuser, a bell mouth disposed on an upstream side further than the duct and configured such that a width of an inlet end of the bell mouth is wider than a width of an outlet end of the bell mouth, and a guide vane formed on the bell mouth and configured to guide air introduced into the fan.

Outdoor unit of air conditioner

An air conditioner includes a housing provided with a suction port and a discharge port elongated in one direction on the lateral side of the suction port, a main flow path configured to connect the suction port to the discharge port, a main fan provided in the main flow path to suck air via the suction port and to discharge the air via the discharge port, an auxiliary fan configured to suck the air around the discharge port to regulate the direction of the air which is discharged via the discharge port and an auxiliary flow path configured to guide the air sucked by the auxiliary fan. According to the air conditioner, it is possible to control the direction of the discharge airflow without a blade structure, increase the discharge amount, reduce the flow noise, and differentiate the design.

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.
