Abstract

An air conditioning system that includes a casing that has a flow channel connected to an inside of a vehicle to supply or discharge air. A motor is mounted on one side of the casing to generate a normal direction torque and a reverse direction torque and a first fan is disposed on one side of the flow channel to be connected to an output shaft of the motor and to be rotated. A second fan is disposed on one side of the first fan to be fixedly mounted in the shaft and to be rotated. Additionally, a variable connecting unit that connects the first fan to the shaft of the motor is rotated when the motor is rotated in a normal direction and has a torque of the shaft of the motor not to be transmitted to the first fan when the motor is rotated in a reverse direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An air conditioning system, comprising:
a casing having a flow channel connected to an inside of a vehicle to supply or discharge air;
a motor mounted on one side of the casing to generate a normal direction torque and a reverse direction torque;
a first fan disposed on one side of the flow channel to be connected to a shaft that is an output shaft of the motor and to be rotated;
a second fan disposed on one side of the first fan to be fixedly mounted in the shaft and to be rotated; and
a variable connecting unit that connects the first fan to the shaft of the motor, is rotated when the motor is rotated in a normal direction, and when the motor is rotated in a reverse direction, a torque of the shaft of the motor is not transmitted to the first fan,
wherein the first fan and the second fan discharge or supply air flow to the inside of the vehicle when the shaft of the motor is rotated in the normal direction and the second fan discharges the internal air to an exterior when the shaft of the motor is rotated in the reverse direction,
when the variable connecting unit includes:
a central housing fixedly mounted in a rotation center of the first fan to rotate together with the first fan, wherein the shaft of the motor passes through a center of the central housing;
a house protrusion formed on an internal circumference of the central housing;
a shaft protrusion formed in the shaft of the motor to correspond to the housing protrusion; and
a moving unit that pushes or pulls the central housing in an axial direction of the shaft,

wherein the moving unit includes:
a permanent magnet on one side; and
and electromagnet that faces the permanent magnet and having north (N) and south (S) poles based on supplied electricity to push or pull the permanent magnet

wherein the second fan is disposed at a leading end of the shaft of the motor and the first fan is disposed behind the second fan, and
wherein the permanent magnet is disposed behind the first fan, the electromagnet is disposed behind the permanent magnet, and the motor is disposed behind the electromagnet.

2. The air conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein:
a protrusion stopper that stops a movement of the housing protrusion is formed in the shaft.

3. The air conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet is formed at a lower end of the central housing, and the electromagnet faces the permanent magnet to be fixedly mounted in a fixing unit.

4. The air conditioning system of claim 3 , wherein a magnet stopper that stops a movement of the permanent magnet is formed in the fixing unit.

5. The air conditioning system of claim 3 , wherein the first fan is disposed under the second fan, the permanent magnet is disposed under the first fan, the electromagnet is disposed under the permanent magnet, and the motor is disposed under the electromagnet.

6. The air conditioning system of claim 1 , wherein the permanent magnet and the electromagnet relatively rotate with a predetermined gap while the motor is operated.
