However, in the case of the ventilation apparatus in the related art, there are problems in that even though the air needs to be introduced into or discharged from the interior as much as the amount of supplied or discharge air, the air cannot naturally flow because of the sealed interior space, and thus the air cannot be smoothly supplied or discharged due to the nature of the ventilation apparatus in the related art.
In particular, the duct is inevitably bent when the duct is installed, and as a result, there is a problem in that a flow velocity and a flow rate of air are decreased due to the bent portion in the duct.

First, as illustrated in
As illustrated in
The blade 120 has a shape having a curvature, and the blade 120 is installed to be inclined in a rotation direction of the shaft 110.
The shaft 110 is connected with the motor 140, and the shaft 110 is rotated by an operation of the motor 140, such that a flow velocity and a flow rate of air are generated through the blades 120.
The rotating means 100, which is configured as described above, is installed in a bent portion 211 in the duct 200.
That is, in the ease of the existing duct 200, the air, which is generated by ventilating devices installed in indoor and outdoor heat exchangers and has a flow rate and a flow velocity, flows into the duct 200, but the flow velocity and the flow rate are decreased due to a length of the duct 200 or a bent state of the duct 200.
To solve the aforementioned problems, in the present invention, the rotating means 100 is installed in the bent portion 211 in the duct 200, such that the flow velocity and the flow rate of the air flow are increased without being decreased, and as a result, the air flow is improved and thus ventilation efficiency is improved.
The exemplary embodiments of the duct ventilation apparatus of the present invention are classified into first to third exemplary embodiments.
That is, the first to third exemplary embodiments may be applied as various exemplary embodiments by installing the rotating means 100 based on positions of edges 212 and 213 of the bent portion 211 in the flow space 210 of the duct.

As illustrated in
In the first and third exemplary embodiments configured as described above, a partition wall 250 may be selectively formed at the edges 212 and 213 of the bent portion 211.
In other words, in the first exemplary embodiment, an inner partition wall 251 and an outer partition wall 252 are formed at both of the edges 212 and 213 of the bent portion 211 in the flow space 210 of the duct so as to divide the flow space 210 into a main flow hole 220 and a pair of sub flow holes 230, and the rotating means 100 are installed in the sub flow holes 230.
In the second exemplary embodiment, the outer partition wall 252 is formed at the concave edge 212 between the edges of the bent portion 211 in the flow space 210 of the duct so as to divide the flow space 210 into the main flow hole 220 and the sub flow hole 230, and the rotating means 100 is installed in the sub flow hole 230 formed at the concave edge 213.
In the third exemplary embodiment, the inner partition wall 251 is formed at the convex edge 212 between the edges of the bent portion 211 in the flow space 210 of the duct so as to divide the flow space 210 into the main flow hole 220 and the sub flow hole 230, and the rotating means 100 is installed in the sub flow hole 230 formed at the convex edge 212.
Here, the partition walls include the outer partition wall 252 and the inner partition wall 251 based on a state in which the partition walls are disposed in the bent portion.
That is, the outer partition wall 252 is installed at the convex edge 212 of the bent portion, and the inner partition wall 251 is installed at the concave edge 213 of the bent portion.
Further, the outer partition wall 252 includes a first partition wall 253 which is formed at the convex edge 212, has an arc shape, and accommodates a part of the rotating means, and a second partition wall 254 which is spaced apart from the convex edge 212 at an interval and has the same curvature as the bent portion.
Since the outer partition wall 252 has the same curvature as the convex edge 212 of the bent portion, the air may flow smoothly.
In addition, the inner partition wall 251 includes the first partition wall 253 which is formed at the concave edge 213, has an are shape, and accommodates a part of the rotating means, and a second partition wall 254 which connects a horizontal surface and a vertical surface of the first partition wall 253 and has the same curvature as the bent portion, and as a result, since the second partition wall 254 has the same curvature as the concave edge 213, the air may flow smoothly.
In the duct ventilation apparatus having the aforementioned various exemplary embodiments, air pressure in the sub flow hole 230 is increased by the operation of the rotating means 100, and an air pressure difference occurs between the sub flow hole 230 and the main flow hole 220, and as a result, a flow velocity is increased.
Specifically, the flow space 210 is divided into the main flow hole 220 and the sub flow hole 230, and the sub flow hole 230 is installed only in the bent portion 211 in the flow space 210, and as a result, an inlet and an outlet at both sides of the sub flow hole 230 communicate with the flow space 210.
Further, the rotating means 100 is selectively installed in both of the pair of sub flow holes 230 or one of the pair of sub flow holes 230, and the rotating means 100 is operated, and as a result, air pressure in the sub flow hole 230 is increased.
Therefore, an air pressure difference occurs between the main flow hole 220 and the sub flow hole 230, and as a result, a flow velocity is increased.
That is, as the air pressure in the sub flow hole 230 is increased by the operation of the rotating means 100, the air is discharged to the outlet of the sub flow hole 230 at the increased flow velocity and the increased flow rate.
In this case, because force of the air is applied from high air pressure to low air pressure, the air in the main flow hole 220 is drawn as the air pressure in the main flow hole 220 is relatively decreased, and as a result, the flow rate and the flow velocity are increased.
The present invention, which has been described above, is not limited by the aforementioned exemplary embodiment and the accompanying drawings, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that various substitutions, modifications and alterations may be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
