Abstract

A monolithic air conditioner includes: a cabinet; an indoor heat exchanger mounted on a front-inner portion of the cabinet; an outdoor heat exchanger mounted on a rear-inner portion of the cabinet; a fan assembly disposed inside the cabinet to introduce indoor air and outdoor air; a base disposed at a lower portion of the cabinet; and a safety cover mounted on an outdoor air intake formed at a rear portion of the cabinet.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A monolithic air conditioner comprising: 
 a cabinet;    an indoor heat exchanger mounted on a front-inner portion of the cabinet;    an outdoor heat exchanger mounted on a rear-inner portion of the cabinet;    a fan assembly disposed inside the cabinet to introduce indoor air and outdoor air;    a base disposed at a lower portion of the cabinet; and    a safety cover mounted on an outdoor air intake formed at a rear portion of the cabinet.    
   
   
       2 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety cover is provided at one end side of the outdoor heat exchanger.  
   
   
       3 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a side portion of the safety cover is connected to a side surface of the cabinet by a connecting member.  
   
   
       4 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein a lower portion of the safety cover is connected to the base by a connecting member.  
   
   
       5 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the safety cover comprises: 
 a plurality of safety bars each having a predetermined diameter; and    a fixing bar for connecting the safety bars in one body.    
   
   
       6 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 5 , wherein the fixing bar comprises a connector at a position extending from an end portion and/or periphery of the fixing bar, such that the connecting member is inserted into the connector.  
   
   
       7 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 1 , wherein the outdoor air is introduced through side, rear and upper portions of the safety cover.  
   
   
       8 . A monolithic air conditioner comprising: 
 a cabinet;    an indoor heat exchanger mounted on a front-inner portion of the cabinet;    an outdoor heat exchanger mounted on a rear-inner portion of the cabinet;    a fan assembly including a fan disposed inside the cabinet to introduce indoor air and outdoor air, and a driving motor for driving the fan;    a base disposed at a lower portion of the cabinet; and    a covering member mounted on an edge of one side of the outdoor heat exchanger to guide the outdoor air to be introduced.    
   
   
       9 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 8 , wherein the covering member comprises: 
 a plurality of straight bars arranged at predetermined intervals; and    a fixing bar attached in a direction perpendicular to the straight bars so as to connect the straight bars in one body.    
   
   
       10 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 9 , wherein some of the straight bars are bent to form an upper surface of the covering member.  
   
   
       11 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 8 , wherein the covering member is mounted on an outdoor air intake such that the outdoor air is introduced through a gap formed in the covering member.  
   
   
       12 . The monolithic air conditioner according to  claim 8 , wherein the outdoor air is introduced through three surfaces of the covering member.
