An outdoor unit of an air conditioner may include a base panel, a front panel disposed on a front end of the base panel and having a through hole formed therein, an orifice fitted to the through hole, a fan disposed behind the through hole and having at least a portion accommodated inside of the orifice, and a heat exchanger disposed on or at an edge of a rear side of the base panel. A frontward-to-backward width of a first side end of the orifice may be less than a frontward-to-backward of a second side end of the orifice.

Outdoor unit of air conditioner

The present disclosure relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner according to the present disclosure includes: a cabinet including perimeter surfaces disposed vertically in four directions, respectively, and an upper surface disposed on an upper side thereof that is perpendicular to each of the perimeter surfaces, with suction ports and a discharge port, the suction ports being formed in two surfaces that are formed in a first direction and a second direction opposite to each other and one surface that is formed in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, respectively, among the perimeter surfaces, and the discharge port being formed in the upper surface; a heat exchanger disposed inside the cabinet where the suction ports are formed to exchange heat between air introduced into the cabinet and a refrigerant; an air blowing fan disposed inside the cabinet where the discharge port is formed to allow the air that is heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger to flow toward the discharge port; and an orifice disposed along an outer circumference of the air blowing fan, while being spaced apart from the air blowing fan, to form a flow path of the air flowing by the air blowing fan, wherein the orifice includes: a narrowing portion into which the air flowing inside the cabinet is introduced, with the flow path therein having a cross-sectional area that decreases in an air flow direction; a maintaining portion disposed downstream of the narrowing portion, with the flow path therein having a cross-sectional area that is maintained in the air flow direction; and an expanding portion disposed downstream of the maintaining portion, with the flow path therein having a cross-sectional area that increases in the air flow direction, and the maintaining portion has a height that decreases from a fourth direction opposite to the third direction toward the third direction along a circumferential surface of the orifice.

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.

Blower

An axial fan for an outdoor unit of an air conditioner is provided. The axial fan may include at least one blade connected to a hub. The at least one blade may include a blade inner portion, a blade outer portion provided outside of the blade inner portion in a radial direction, and a blade connector that connects the blade inner portion and the blade outer portion as a curved surface, thereby improving noise and increasing an air volume.

Axial fan for outdoor unit of air conditioner

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 ceiling fan may include a shaft coupled to a ceiling, a cover to surround the shaft, a main blade having a blade hole which is a space open inward, and a sub-blade positioned in the blade hole. The sub-blade is disposed to have an angle of attack different from an angle of attack of the main blade. The ceiling fan may resolve a red zone of the air flow and may improve air volume and the flow rate due to the dual blades.

Ceiling fan and assembling method thereof

Disclosed is an air conditioner that suppresses generation of leakage vortices between a fan and a shroud. An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an axial fan for blowing air; a shroud partially surrounding a circumference of the axial fan to guide air blown by the axial fan; and a fence ring provided in an inner surface of the shroud and protruding in a radial direction from the inner surface of the shroud. In addition, the fence ring is disposed between a downstream end of the axial fan and a downstream end of the shroud.

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a blowing fan in which a plurality of blades are provided; a fan motor rotating the blowing fan; and a motor mount supporting the fan motor, wherein cut parts are formed in the motor mount by cutting at least a part of a surface passing above the motor mount while the blades are rotated.
