Air conditioning device

Abstract

An air conditioning device having an indoor heat exchanger, a heat recovery ventilator, a supply fan, and an exhaust fan inside a housing and configured to perform at least one of cooling / heating, heat recovery ventilation, and pure ventilation. The air conditioning device includes a first flow path configured to guide indoor air while the cooling / heating is performed, a second flow path configured to guide the indoor air toward the heat recovery ventilator, and a third flow path configured to guide outdoor air toward the heat recovery ventilator while the heat recovery ventilation is performed. The air conditioning device includes fourth and fifth flow paths configured to guide indoor air and outdoor air, respectively, and an inlet port that corresponds to the third flow path and the fifth flow path, and a discharge port that corresponds to outlets of the second flow path and the fourth flow path.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0157354, filed on Nov. 12, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to an air conditioning device, and more particularly to an air conditioning device, which can simultaneously perform ventilation and cooling / heating.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Recently, the moderns make a living indoors, such as inside a building or a means of transportation, most of the day. In order to keep the interior of a room in an agreeable environment, a window may be opened for ventilation, or a separate ventilation device may be installed. However, this may cause inconvenience.[0006]In order to solve the above-described problem, various air conditioning devices having ventilation functions have recently been pr...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an air conditioning device that can reduce manufacturing costs and power consumption by designing a flow path that can maintain the number of filters required even if the device's function is modified. Additionally, the device can reduce air resistance caused by filters and power consumption caused by driving the exhaust fan only when necessary by adjusting its position.

Problems solved by technology

However, this may cause inconvenience.

However, if a plurality of indoor air inlet ports are provided, it becomes necessary to install separate ducts for the respective indoor air inlet ports, and thus the manufacturing cost is increased.

Further, additional space is required in installing the air conditioning device, and a plurality of ducts should be connected to the air conditioning device which causes inconvenience.

Accordingly, in the case where the outdoor air inlet port and the outdoor air discharge port are modified to match the case where they perform their own functions, it is required to install additional filters for filtering pollution materials from external air on the outdoor air inlet port and the outdoor air discharge port, and this causes the manufacturing cost of the product to be increased.
