Zusammenfassung:According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner for outputting a notification signal for replacement of a filter comprises: a filter filtering dust particles in the air absorbed to the inside; an infrared lamp emitting infrared rays in the filter direction; an infrared sensor detecting an infrared ray which has passed through the filter among the infrared rays emitted from the infrared lamp; a control unit obtaining a replacement time of the filter in accordance with the amount of light of the detected infrared ray; and an output unit outputting the notification signal for replacement at the replacement time of the obtained filter. Moreover, the control unit can obtain the replacement time of the filter by comparing an initial light amount of an infrared ray obtained when the filter is mounted with a light amount of an infrared ray obtained every predetermined cycle after the filter is mounted. 본 발명의 실시 예에 따른 공기조화기는 필터의 교체 알림 신호를 출력하기 위한 것으로, 내부로 흡입된 공기 중의 먼지 입자를 필터링하는 필터, 필터 방향으로 적외선을 방출하는 적외선 램프, 적외선 램프에서 방출된 적외선 중 필터를 통과한 적외선을 감지하는 적외선 센서 및 감지된 적외선의 광량에 따라 필터의 교체 시기를 획득하는 제어부 및 획득된 필터의 교체 시기에 교체 알림 신호를 출력하는 출력부를 포함하고, 제어부는 필터의 장착시 획득된 적외선의 초기 광량과, 필터의 장착 후 소정 주기마다 획득된 적외선 광량을 비교하여 필터의 교체 시기를 획득할 수 있다.
