Air conditioner
In an air conditioner, a drain extraction unit and a refrigerant pipe connecting unit may be disposed in a blocking region in which a discharge port is not provided so that a size of the discharge port may be secured and the discharge port may be uniformly disposed, thereby generating uniform airflow in a room. In a lower housing formed in a circular shape, some of components inside an indoor unit of the air conditioner may be disposed in a protrusion portion that protrudes from the circular housing, thereby facilitating the installation of the air conditioner. A condensate water collecting space disposed outside the housing may be provided in a drain tray, thereby efficiently preventing a leakage due to condensate water generated outside the housing. The housing, the drain tray, and the cover member of the air conditioner may be coupled by a coupling member coupled outside.
1. An air conditioner comprising:
an upper housing including a hollow substantially cylindrical shape, the upper housing being injection-molded;
a heat exchanger provided in the upper housing, the heat exchanger having a hollow partial cylindrical shape and configured to receive a refrigerant;
a drain tray configured to collect water condensed on the heat exchanger, disposed below the upper housing, and including a substantially annular shape; and
a coupler coupling the upper housing to the drain tray,
wherein the coupler includes:
a first portion insertable into the upper housing, a second portion supportable to an assembling support of the drain tray in an axial direction of the upper housing, and
a third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion.
2. The air conditioner of claim 1 , wherein the assembling support is coupled to the second portion to support the assembling support of the drain tray.
3. The air conditioner of claim 2 , wherein the second portion is provided to contact the assembling support of the drain tray in the axial direction of the upper housing.
4. The air conditioner of claim 1 , wherein the first portion is provided to pass through the upper housing to thereby extend from an inside of the upper housing to an outside of the upper housing.
5. The air conditioner of claim 1 , wherein the first portion is coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the upper housing.
6. The air conditioner of claim 1 , wherein
the third portion of the coupler includes at least a portion formed to extend substantially perpendicular to the first portion.
7. The air conditioner of claim 2 , wherein the assembling support of the drain tray protrudes in a radial direction of the upper housing.
8. The air conditioner of claim 6 , wherein the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are integrally formed together.
9. The air conditioner of claim 1 , further comprising:
a suction port provided along a central axis of the upper housing, and configured to guide air into the upper housing,
a suction port cover provided in a substantially circular shape, including a plurality of holes, and configured to cover the suction port, and
a discharge port configured to discharge air through a substantially annular region between the upper housing and the suction port cover.
10. An air conditioner comprising:
an upper housing including a hollow substantially cylindrical shape, the upper housing being injection-molded;
a heat exchanger provided in the upper housing, the heat exchanger having a hollow partial cylindrical shape and configured to receive a refrigerant;
a suction port provided along a central axis of the hollow substantially cylindrical shape of the upper housing, and configured to guide air into the upper housing;
a suction port cover provided in a substantially circular shape, including a plurality of holes, and configured to cover the suction port;
a discharge port configured to discharge air through a substantially annular region between the upper housing and the suction port cover;
a drain tray configured to collect water condensed on the heat exchanger, disposed below the upper housing, and including a substantially annular shape; and
a coupler coupling the upper housing to the drain tray,
wherein the coupler includes:
a first portion insertable into the upper housing, a second portion supportable to an assembling support of the drain tray in an axial direction of the upper housing, and
a third portion connecting the first portion and the second portion.
11. The air conditioner of claim 10 , wherein the second portion is coupled to the drain tray.
12. The air conditioner of claim 11 , wherein the second portion supports the assembling support of the drain tray in the axial direction of the upper housing.
13. The air conditioner of claim 11 , wherein the second portion is provided to contact the assembling support of the drain tray in the axial direction of the upper housing.
14. The air conditioner of claim 10 , wherein the first portion is provided to pass through the upper housing to thereby extend from the inside of the upper housing to an outside of the upper housing.
15. The air conditioner of claim 14 , wherein the first portion is coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the upper housing.
16. The air conditioner of claim 10 , wherein the third portion of the coupler includes at least a portion extending substantially perpendicular to the first portion.
17. The air conditioner of claim 10 , wherein the assembling support of the drain tray protrudes in a radial direction of the upper housing.
18. The air conditioner of claim 16 , wherein the first portion, the second portion, and the third portion are integrally formed together.
