An air conditioner is provided that may include a pair of air discharge devices; an air discharge device holder that supports the pair of air discharge devices to be spaced apart from each other; and a display positioned between the pair of air discharge devices and having a first side surface that faces an outer peripheral surface of a first air discharge device of the pair of air discharge devices and a second side surface that faces an outer peripheral surface of a second air discharge device of the pair of air discharge devices. The display may be positioned between the pair of air discharge devices, allowing the air conditioner to be compact while preventing any safety accident which might occur if a space between the pair of air discharge devices were exposed to the outside.

Air conditioner

An air discharge device installed in an air conditioner to discharge and guide air air-conditioned in the air conditioner to an outside is provided. The air discharge device may include a first outer body having an air discharge grill; a second outer body coupled to a first side of the first outer body; a third outer body coupled to a second side of the first outer body and coupled with the second outer body; a first inner guide having an inner opening that faces the air discharge grill; and a second inner guide coupled with the first inner guide, and together with the first inner guide, forming an internal flow path. The first outer body, the second outer body, and the third outer body may be coupled with one another into a shape of a hollow cylinder.

Air discharge device and air conditioner having the same

The present invention includes a blower sucking and blowing air; a plurality of cylindrical air discharging units, each having an air discharging flow path through which the air blown by the blower passes and discharges, the plurality of air discharging units respectively having rotational center axes parallel with each other; and an air discharging unit rotating mechanism rotating each of the plurality of air discharging units, with the respective rotational center axes of the air discharging units kept in position. The plurality of air discharging units arranged in parallel with each other may distributively discharge air in multiple directions. A distributed air discharge mode in which the plurality of air discharging units discharge air in different directions and a front intensive air discharge mode in which the plurality of air discharging units discharge air in a front direction may be chosen by the user, responding to the user's demand that the air flow be concentrated in the front direction while enabling efficient indoor air conditioning.
