摘要

The present disclosure relates to an outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the outdoor unit including a case forming a front surface and a rear surface and an exterior of a circumferential surface between the front surface and the rear surface and divided into a mechanical room and a heat exchange space by a barrier, a blower fan disposed in the heat exchange space to suction in air in an axial direction and discharge air in a circumferential direction, an outdoor heat exchanger disposed in the heat exchange space, an orifice member disposed to divide the blower fan and the outdoor heat exchanger and guide heat exchanged air toward the blower fan, and discharge grilles formed at a portion of the circumferential surface including an upper surface of the case and having outlets to allow the heat-exchanged air to be discharged in the circumferential direction.

主权项

1. An outdoor unit of an air conditioner, the outdoor unit comprising:
a case having a mechanical room and a heat exchange space, the case having a front surface, a rear surface, and a circumferential surface disposed between the front and rear surfaces; a blower fan disposed in the heat exchange space to suction in air in an axial direction and discharge the suctioned air in a circumferential direction; an outdoor heat exchanger disposed covering an opening formed in the rear surface, the outdoor heat exchanger providing a heat exchange between the suctioned air and a refrigerant; a plurality of discharge grilles formed at a portion of the circumferential surface, the discharge grilles having a plurality of outlets to discharge the heat-exchanged air in the circumferential direction; and an orifice member that separates the blower fan and the outdoor heat exchanger, wherein the orifice member guides air that passes through the outdoor heat exchanger toward the blower fan and simultaneously guides the air discharged by the blower fan toward the plurality of outlets.
