Electronic device

An air conditioner includes a housing having a suction port and a discharge port, a main fan configured to draw air into the housing through the suction port and discharge air from the housing through the discharge port, an auxiliary fan configured to draw, into the housing, air discharged by the main fan and a controller configured to control a rotational speed of the auxiliary fan to change a direction in which air is discharged from the housing.

Air conditioner and method of controlling the same

An air conditioner according to the disclosure includes a blowing fan including a suction port, a bell mouth formed along a circumferential direction of the suction port, and a fan guard extending from an inner circumferential surface of the bell mouth and covering the suction port, wherein the fan guard includes a plurality of annular ribs arranged concentrically with a gap from a center of the fan guard corresponding to a rotation axis of the blowing fan, the plurality of annular ribs includes a first annular rib adjacent the outermost edge of the fan guard and the first annular rib is arranged to be inclined to the rotation axis in a direction corresponding to the tangent line of the bell mouth.

Air conditioner

An air conditioner (AC) indoor unit includes a housing having an inlet and an outlet; a heat exchanger arranged inside the housing; a blower fan for sucking in air at the inlet to be subject to heat exchange with the heat exchanger, and discharging the heat-exchanged air out of the outlet; and an air flow control device for controlling an air flow discharged from the outlet by sucking in air around the outlet. The AC indoor unit may control the direction of a discharged air flow without a conventional blade structure, thereby increasing an amount of discharged air, reducing circulation noise, and enabling design differentiation.

Air conditioner and method for controlling the same

An air blowing unit of an air conditioner includes a housing to guide suction and discharge of air, a centrifugal fan positioned inside the housing, and a motor to drive the centrifugal fan. The centrifugal fan includes a base coupled to a motor shaft coupled to the motor, a plurality of blades disposed spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction of the base to guide air introduced in an axial direction of the base to the circumferential direction, a leading edge provided to the blades and arranged close to the motor shaft, a trailing edge provided to the blades and facing in an outer circumferential direction of the base, and at least one first blade of the blades, the leading edge of the first blade being shorter than the leading edge of the other blades.
