In the present embodiment, the first vane 210 is disposed on the front side in the flow direction of the discharge air, and the second vane 220 is disposed on the rear side in the flow direction of the discharge air. The front side end 222a of the second vane 220 may be in proximity to or in contact with the rear side end 212b of the first vane 210. [ The interval S1 between the front side end 222a of the second vane 220 and the rear side end 212b of the first vane 210 can be minimized in the ejection step P1 state.

The rear side end 222b of the second vane is located on the upper side of the discharge port 102 and the front side end 222a of the second vane is located on the lower side of the discharge port 102, The rear side end 212b of the second vane is positioned lower than the front side end 222a of the second vane.

The front side end 222a of the second vane 220 is positioned above the rear side end 212b of the first vane 210 in the discharging step P1 state.

It is possible to minimize the leakage of the discharged air between the first vane 210 and the second vane 220 by bringing the front side end 222a and the rear side end 212b close to or in contact with each other.

In the present embodiment, the front side end 222a and the rear side end 212b are in close contact but not in contact with each other.

When the vane module 200 forms a horizontal wind in the discharging step P1, since the first vane 210 and the second vane 220 are connected and operated as one vane, the airflow intensity of the horizontal wind is increased . That is, since the discharged air is guided in the horizontal direction along the upper surface of the second vane 220 and the upper surface of the first vane 210, the direction of the discharged air is further strengthened .

When forming the horizontal wind, the second vane 220 is arranged to be inclined more vertically than the first vane 210.

In the case of the horizontal wind, it is advantageous that the first vane 210 is positioned below the discharge port 102 and the second vane 220 is disposed to overlap with the discharge port 102 .

In the ejection step P1 state, the second vane 220 is rotated in place about the second vane axis 221, but the first vane 210 is rotated about the driving link 240 and the first vane link 250 (Swing) in the air discharge direction because it is assembled.

The second vane 220 is rotated around the second vane axis 221 and the first vane 210 is moved downward while advancing in the air discharge direction, The front side end 212a is rotated in the first direction (clockwise direction in the drawing).

The first vane 210 can be moved downward by the rotation of the driving link 240 and the first vane link 250 and the first vane 210 can be moved substantially horizontally . Since the vane of the indoor unit is rotated in place, the same arrangement as the first vane 210 of the present embodiment can not be realized.

When the vane motor 230 rotates the driving link 240 in the second direction (counterclockwise direction) in the stopping step P0, the second vane link 260 coupled to the driving link 240 also rotates (240).

Specifically, when the driving link 240 is changed from the stop step P0 to the discharging step P1, the driving link 240 is rotated counterclockwise, and the first vane link 210 rotates counterclockwise And the second vane link 220 is lowered while relatively rotating.

Since the second vane 220 is assembled to be relatively rotatable with the second vane axis 221 and the second vane link 260, (220) is rotated clockwise around the second vane axis (221).

When changing from the stop step P0 to the discharge step P1 in order to form the horizontal wind, the direction of rotation of the first vane 210 and the second vane 220 is reversed.

In the discharging step P1, the vane motor 230 is rotated by 73 degrees (P1 rotation angle), and the rotation of the vane motor 230 causes the first vane 210 to rotate about 13 degrees (first vane P1 inclination) And the second vane 220 forms a slope of approximately 52 degrees (second vane P1 slope).

In the discharging step P1, the positional relationship of the axes forming the rotation center of each link will be described as follows.

In addition, the second vane shaft 221 may be disposed in a line with the third joint portion 226, the second joint portion 217, and the first joint portion 216. In this case, the second vane shaft 221 is positioned on the rear side of the third joint portion 226.

In the P1 state, the first vane 210 and the second vane 220 provide a horizontal wind. The horizontal wind does not mean that the discharge direction of the air is precisely horizontal. The horizontal vane 210 is connected to the first vane 210 and the second vane 220 in the form of a single vane and connected to the first vane 210 and the second vane 220, It means the angle that makes the most flow away.

The interval S1 between the front side end 222a of the second vane 220 and the rear side end 212b of the first vane 210 can be minimized in the ejection step P1 state.

When the air is horizontally blown, the air guided by the second vane 220 is guided to the first vane 210. When the discharged air flows in the horizontal wind through the P1 state, the air flowing distance can be maximized.

The inclination of the second vane 220 closer to the suction port 101 is formed to be steeper than the inclination of the first vane 210 because the discharge passage 104 is formed in the vertical direction.

However, when proceeding from the discharge step P4 state to the discharge step P6, The front side end 212a is moved to the side opposite to the air discharge direction (rear side).

Thus, when proceeding from the discharge step P4 state to the discharge step P6, the first vane 210 can be arranged more vertically.

&Lt; Discharging step P6 &

The state of the module vane 200 in the discharging step P6 is defined as vertical wind in this embodiment.

[ When the second joint portion 217 is excessively moved forward, the vane motor may not return to the original position even if the vane motor is rotated in the first direction (clockwise direction).

The first drive link body 246 and the one end 270a of the stopper 270 interfere with each other in the ejection step P6 in order to prevent the drive link 240 from over rotating. The first drive link body 246 is supported on the stopper 270, and further rotation is restricted.

In the discharging step P6, the core link shaft 243, the first driving link shaft 241 and the first-vane link shaft 251 form an obtuse angle (clockwise with respect to D-D ') of 180 degrees or more .
