A front end of a steering grill from which air is discharged protrudes further than the front surface of a door assembly, and the steering grill is steered by a steering assembly, and thus conditioned air may be provided by a directed air movement to a long-distance target region, and since the front end of the steering grill protrudes further than the front surface of the door assembly, the occurrence of flow resistance as a result of a cabinet assembly or the door assembly interfering with the discharged air may be minimized, and the direction of the steering grill may be instantly changed, by means of steering, from any one direction to another among up, down, left, right, upper left, lower left, upper right, or lower right.

Indoor unit of an air conditioner

An indoor unit for an air conditioner in which the water level of a steam generator is linked with the water level of a supply chamber for supplying water to the steam generator, and a supply floater, which is lowered or raised according to the water level of the supply chamber, opens and closes a supply flow channel for supplying water to the supply chamber. The indoor unit for an air conditioner can control the water supply through the level of water stored in the steam generator.

Indoor unit for an air conditioner

An air conditioner may provide a fan housing assembly that moves in the front-rear direction by the operation of an actuator, and the fan housing assembly moves so as to pass through a front outlet arranged on a door assembly to be in a projected state, and the front end of the fan housing assembly protrudes further to the front than the front surface of the door assembly; and through the projected state, may provide conditioned air by a direct air flow to a long-distance target region. The configuration may enable the minimization of interference between the discharged air and the door assembly, and the minimization of flow loss of the discharged air since, when the fan housing assembly is in the projected state, a steering grill is in a state of protruding to the outside of the door assembly by passing through the front outlet.

An indoor unit of an air conditioner in which filtered air is blown inside a steam generator via a humidification fan, and humidified air inside the steam generator is discharged to the side of a steam guide, where a sufficient flow may be supplied to the inside of the steam generator, such that the steam and the filtered air may be effectively mixed, thereby enabling the generation of humidified air. Since the humidification fan blows intake air into the steam generator so as to enable humidified air to flow, the humidified air may flow up to a discharge port even when an independent flow channel of the steam guide is long.

An indoor unit of an air conditioner, which when a door cover is inserted in the inner side of a front outlet, a door cover moving module moves the door cover in the front-rear direction by the operation of a door cover motor, and when the door cover is moved to the rear of the front outlet, a door housing moving module moves a door cover housing along with the door cover, and thus the door cover may be moved completely to the outside of the front outlet.

An air conditioner including a sliding door, which forms a front surface part thereof and moves in a lateral direction to be opened and closed; a sliding door motor for enabling movement of the sliding door; a sliding door position sensor which may include a first position sensor and second position sensor for detecting the position of the sliding door; and a control part for controlling an opening/closing operation of the sliding door based on sensing data of the sliding door position sensor and a rotational speed of the sliding door motor.

Air conditioner

The present invention relates to a steam generator comprising: a steam housing which forms the exterior and has a space in which water is stored; a steam heater disposed inside the steam housing and generating heat by means of an applied power; a water pipe disposed on one side of the peripheral surface of the steam housing and having a communication hole through which water is introduced from the outside into the steam housing or water inside the steam housing is discharged to the outside; an air inlet part disposed on the upper surface of the steam housing and having an air inlet through which air is introduced into the steam housing; a steam outlet part disposed on the upper surface of the steam housing apart from the air inlet part by a predetermined distance and having a steam outlet through which steam generated inside the steam housing and the air introduced through the air inlet part are discharged to the outside.

Steam generator

An indoor unit for an air conditioner enables a water tank to be tilted forward by means of a tilting assembly, and thus enables a user to conveniently separate or mount the water tank to the indoor unit.

An indoor unit of an air conditioner includes a cabinet assembly; a door assembly disposed at a front of the cabinet assembly to cover the front of the cabinet assembly; a fixed plate fixed to the cabinet assembly and disposed between the door assembly and the cabinet assembly; and a door assembly moving part disposed between the door assembly and the fixed plate to move the door assembly in a left-right direction with respect to the cabinet assembly. When seen from the front of the cabinet assembly, the fixed plate is fixed eccentric in a direction where the door assembly moves such that when the door assembly moves, a center line of the door assembly remains within a left-right width of the fixed plate.

An air conditioner may provide a a fan housing assembly that moves in the front-rear direction by the operation of an actuator, and the fan housing assembly moves so as to pass through a front outlet arranged on a door assembly to be in a projected state, and the front end of the fan housing assembly protrudes further to the front than the front surface of the door assembly; and through the projected state, may provide conditioned air by a direct air flow to a long-distance target region. The configuration may enable the minimization of interference between the discharged air and the door assembly, and the minimization of flow loss of the discharged air since, when the fan housing assembly is in the projected state, a steering grill is in a state of protruding to the outside of the door assembly by passing through the front outlet.
