Patent ID: 7963121

Claim:
An outdoor unit of an air conditioner comprising: a heat exchanger; a fan configured to move air on the heat exchanger to promote heat exchange between a refrigerant and air; a motor operatively coupled to the fan to drive the fan; a motor support table supporting the motor; and a rectifying member configured to deflect air flowing toward the motor support table in a predetermined direction, the motor support table including a first plate positioned on an upstream side of airflow, a second plate positioned on a downstream side of the airflow, and a third plate positioned between the first plate and the second plate to form an angular U-shaped cross-sectional shape, and the rectifying member including a deflecting portion covering the first plate of the motor support table such that an area where the airflow reflects on a surface orthogonal to a direction of the airflow from the upstream side to the downstream side gradually increases in the direction of the airflow from the upstream side to the downstream side, and a guide portion extending in parallel to a rotation axis of the motor and facing an opening of the motor support table that is an entrance to a space surrounded by the first plate, the second plate, and the third plate.
