A blower is provided that may include a fan that creates airflow; a lower body forming a lower space therein in which the fan may be disposed, and having at least one suction hole through which air passes; a first upper body positioned above the lower body, and forming a first inner space that communicates with the lower space of the lower body; a second upper body positioned above the lower body, and forming a second inner space that communicates with the lower space of the lower body, the second upper body being spaced apart from the first upper body; and a space formed between the first upper body and the second upper body, and opened in a frontward-rearward direction. The first upper body may include a first slit formed through the first upper body such that air in the first inner space may be discharged into the space, and the second upper body may include a second slit formed through the second upper body such that air in the second inner space may be discharged into the space.

Blower

An indoor unit of an air conditioner, the indoor unit including a case having an outlet elongated in one direction; a first vane disposed at the outlet; a second vane disposed at the outlet at a position behind the first vane; a drive motor disposed on one side of the outlet and configured to provide a driving force to at least one of the first vane or the second vane; a drive link coupled to a shaft of the drive motor, and having a first end connected to the first vane and a second end connected to the second vane; and a first vane link having a first end connected to the case and a second end connected to an end portion in a longitudinal direction of the first vane. The first vane has a first curvature formed on a surface perpendicular to an air discharge direction and formed in the longitudinal direction, such that the outlet may be tightly closed in response to sagging of a central part of the first vane due to self-weight in a dual vane structure, and in response to torsion that occurs due to a third vane link provided in the dual vane structure.

Indoor unit of air conditioner

A ceiling-type indoor unit of an air conditioner includes a case in which at least one discharge hole is formed; a first vane disposed at the at least one discharge hole; a vane motor coupled to the case and providing a drive force to the first vane; a drive link that is rotatably coupled to the case and coupled with the vane motor and transmits the drive force of the vane motor to the first vane; a first vane link rotatably coupled to the case and with the first vane; a support bracket coupled to the case and disposed at the at least one discharge hole; and a support link disposed between a first end and a second end in a longitudinal direction of the first vane, and rotatably coupled to the first vane and the support bracket.

Ceiling type indoor unit of air conditioner

A blower is disclosed. The blower includes a fan configured to generate flow of air, a lower body providing an internal space in which the fan is installed, and having a suction hole through which air passes, an upper body positioned over the lower body and providing an internal space in which air discharged from the fan flows, a damper positioned behind the upper body, and a discharge port formed between an end of the upper body and an end of the damper, in which the upper body includes an opening formed at a rear end of the upper body and communicating with the internal space of the upper body, and the damper opens and closes the discharge port while moving in a front-rear direction behind the opening.

A blower includes a first extension having a first discharge port formed in a first wall, a second extension having a second discharge port formed in a second wall facing and spaced apart from the first wall, a fan provided below the first and second extensions to guide air toward each of the first tower and the second tower, a first gate provided inside the first tower or protruding from the first wall, a second gate provided inside the second tower or protruding from the second wall, a first guide motor to change a position of the first gate, and a second guide motor to change a position of the second gate.

A portable air purifier may include an inlet configured to form a path along which air is suctioned, a filter disposed at an upper side of the inlet and configured to purify air which enters through the inlet and moves upward, a sanitizing portion disposed at a lower side of the filter, installed at a height allowing the sanitizing portion to overlap the inlet, and configured to irradiate sanitizing light toward the filter, and a fan module disposed at an upper side of the filter and configured to rotate a fan to blow air in a direction toward the upper side of the filter.

Portable air purifier

A blower is disclosed. The blower of the present disclosure comprises: a fan for producing air flow; a lower body providing an inner space in which the fan is installed, and having an intake hole through which air passes; an upper body placed on the lower body to form a flow passage which communicates with the inner space of the lower body, and having a space which is formed to pass through the upper body in the forward and backward direction, wherein the upper body includes a slit which is formed through the upper body and through which air flowing through the flow passage of the upper body is discharged to the space, and the slit comprises: a rear slit adjacent to the rear end of the upper body; and a front slit adjacent to the front end of the upper body.

A blower may include a base, a case provided above the base and having an air inlet and an air outlet, a fan provided inside the case, a rotating plate connected to the case and provided to be rotatable above the base, a motor to rotate the rotating plate, and a bearing provided between the rotating plate and the base, fixed to the rotating plate, and supported movably on the base.

A blower is disclosed. The blower of the present disclosure comprises: a fan generating flow of air; a lower body providing an internal space in which the fan is installed, and having a suction hole through which air passes; an upper body being an upper body, which is installed over the lower body and forms a channel that communicates with the internal space of the lower body, and having a space formed through the upper body in a front-rear direction; a slit formed to pass through the upper body and discharging air flowing through the channel of the upper body to an outside of the upper body; and a vane or a door movably installed inside the upper body, and adjusting a flow direction of the air passing through the slit.

A blower includes a first tower and a second tower spaced apart from each other each having discharge ports that face each other. A gate is movably installed in at least one of the first tower or the second tower to protrude into and out of the space between the first and second towers to change a flow of air discharged out of the discharge ports. A guide motor may be configured to move the gate. The discharge ports may be provided at a rear side of the space to discharge air toward a front of the space, while the gate may be moved to cover the front side of the space to guide air upward.

First and second towers may discharge air. An airflow guide or converter may change a direction of the air discharged from the first tower and the second tower by moving a gate inside and outside of at least one of the first or second towers so as to block discharged air flowing forward and selectively facilitate an upward air flow. The airflow converter may include a guide motor to provide a driving force, the gate, which may reciprocate between the inside and the outside of the first and/or second towers; and a board guider connected to the gate to transmit a driving force of the guide motor to the gate as a linear motion force.

Air conditioner

A blower may include a lower case having a suction port and a fan and an upper case having at least one main discharge port and at least one auxiliary discharge port. The auxiliary discharge port may be positioned in front of and below the main discharge port to discharge air introduced through the suction port upward. A door may open and/or close the auxiliary discharge port, and a door motor may power the door. The upper case may be formed as two towers defining a blowing space therebetween, and the at least one auxiliary discharge port may include a plurality of auxiliary discharge ports formed in inner walls of the two towers to face each other.
