Abstract:
1. An air conditioner comprising: a tray in which humidifying water is stored by a predetermined height, the tray being detachably attached to a main body; a humidifying gear rotatably arranged in the tray, the humidifying gear being detachably attached to the tray; a lifter provided at a periphery of the humidifying gear, the lifter being submerged under the humidifying water so as to scoop up the humidifying water during rotation of the humidifying gear; and a humidifying filter provided in the humidifying gear and spaced apart from the humidifying water such that the humidifying water is supplied from the lifter to the humidifying filter during rotation of the humidifying gear, wherein a diameter of the humidifying filter is less than a diameter of the humidifying gear, wherein the humidifying gear includes: a humidifying gear body provided at a periphery thereof with the lifter, the humidifying gear body accommodating the humidifying filter therein; and a humidifying gear cover separably coupled to the humidifying gear body so as to fix the humidifying filter accommodated in the humidifying gear body, wherein a coupling recess is formed in any one of a central portion of the humidifying gear body and a central portion of the humidifying gear cover and a coupling protrusion is formed at the other central portion so as to be separably inserted into the coupling recess, wherein a periphery of the humidifying gear body and a periphery of the humidifying gear cover are separably coupled to each other, wherein: a sliding insertion groove is formed in any one of the periphery of the humidifying gear body and the periphery of the humidifying gear cover and a sliding insert is formed at the other periphery so as to be inserted into the sliding insertion groove; and the sliding insert is inserted into the sliding insertion groove when the coupling protrusion is inserted into the coupling recess.
