AIR CONDITIONER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18096579 titled 'AIR CONDITIONER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an air conditioner design that includes a drain extraction unit and a refrigerant pipe connecting unit in a blocking region without a discharge port. This allows for a larger discharge port size and uniform airflow distribution in a room. Additionally, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is designed with a protrusion portion in a circular lower housing, making installation easier. A condensate water collecting space is provided outside the housing in a drain tray, effectively preventing leakage from condensate water generated outside. The housing, drain tray, and cover member of the air conditioner are coupled by a coupling member outside.

• The air conditioner design includes a drain extraction unit and a refrigerant pipe connecting unit in a blocking region without a discharge port.
• This allows for a larger discharge port size and uniform airflow distribution in a room.
• The indoor unit of the air conditioner is designed with a protrusion portion in a circular lower housing, making installation easier.
• A condensate water collecting space is provided outside the housing in a drain tray, preventing leakage from condensate water generated outside.
• The housing, drain tray, and cover member of the air conditioner are coupled by a coupling member outside.

Potential Applications

This air conditioner design can be applied in various residential and commercial settings where efficient and uniform cooling is required. It can be used in homes, offices, hotels, hospitals, and other indoor spaces.

Problems Solved

1. Ensures uniform airflow distribution in a room by securing a larger discharge port size and uniformly disposing it. 2. Facilitates easier installation with the protrusion portion in the circular lower housing. 3. Prevents leakage from condensate water generated outside the housing by providing a condensate water collecting space in a drain tray.

Benefits

1. Improved comfort and cooling efficiency with uniform airflow distribution. 2. Simplified installation process. 3. Reduced risk of leakage and water damage from condensate water.

Original Abstract Submitted

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.
