An air conditioner includes a heat exchanger, a fan and a fan case in which the fan is accommodated. The fan case includes an inlet opening through which air sucked by the fan enters the fan and an outlet opening through which the air that entered the fan is blown by the fan to be discharged from the fan case. An air guide is spaced from a lower end portion of the outlet opening to form a gap through which the air flows to guide the air to a down direction. The air guide includes an inclined portion inclined downward toward an outer side in a lateral direction to guide air to the lateral direction.

Air conditioner

An air conditioner comprising a main body comprising an inlet; a plurality of guide flow paths to guide air from outside of the main body to the inlet of the main body; a fan to guide the air inside of the main body through the inlet; an air current separation surface, arranged between adjacent guide flow paths among the plurality of guide flow paths, to allow the air from outside of the main body to be separated and flow to the plurality of guide flow paths; a sensor; and a sensor connection port arranged adjacent to and facing the air current separation surface so that while the sensor is connected to the sensor connection port, an air current to be sensed flows to the sensor through the sensor connection port as the air separated by the air current separation surface flows toward the plurality of guide flow paths.

An air conditioner including an arc shaped discharge port formed in a cylindrical member of a housing; a main fan; an arc shaped heat exchanger between the main fan and an inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member with respect to a radial direction of the cylindrical member; and an auxiliary fan. A discharge flow path is formed between an outer peripheral end of the heat exchanger and the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical member. A guide flow path is formed outside the discharge flow path with respect to the radial direction of the cylindrical member. The auxiliary fan is in the discharge flow path and is configured to suck some of the air discharged through the discharge port into the guide flow path. The guide flow path returns the air sucked by the auxiliary fan to the auxiliary fan.

An air purifier includes a main body having an inlet and a discharge device mounted on the main body and configured to receive air introduced into the main body through the inlet and discharge the air from the air purifier, wherein the discharge device includes a discharge opening, an opening and closing member including a portion having a size and shape corresponding to the discharge opening, and configured to move out of the discharge opening and into the discharge opening to open and close the discharge opening, and a discharge portion including a plurality of discharge holes, wherein each discharge hole of the plurality of discharge holes has a size smaller than a size of the discharge opening, and wherein the discharge portion has an air discharging area that is variable.

Air purifier

An air cleaner includes: a housing including an inlet and an outlet for air; an air blower configured to blow air introduced through the inlet to the outlet; a panel configured to face the outlet and including holes; a driver configured to move the panel with respect to the housing; and a controller configured to control the driver to move the panel to open or close a channel between the outlet and the panel and adjust an air volume discharged through the holes of the panel. Thus, the air cleaner prevents a cold draft phenomenon.

Air purifier and control method therefor

An air conditioner is provided. The air conditioner includes a housing, a heat exchanger positioned inside the housing, a fan for blowing air into the heat exchanger such that heat in the blown air is exchanged with the heat exchanger, a duct including a first channel forming surface, and a second channel forming surface, a porous panel corresponding to the second channel forming surface, and including a plurality of pores, a blade for swiveling between an open position and a closed position, blocking the low wind-speed channel at the open position so that air passed through the basic channel can be discharged outside of the air conditioner, moving the air passed through the basic channel to the low wind-speed channel, and discharging the air to the outside via the pores at the closed position, a driver for driving the blade to swivel, and a processor configured to control the driver.
