Further, the radiuses of the impellers of the centrifugal fans (111, 121) of the first air supply assembly 110 and the second air supply assembly 120 may be the same or different, and the air supply capacities of the first air supply assembly 110 and the second air supply assembly 120 are not required, and may be the same or different. The second air supply assembly 120 may be an alternative air supply assembly, when the air conditioner is started up in an initial stage, the indoor temperature needs to be quickly lowered or raised, a large air volume circulation is needed, the second air supply assembly 120 may be turned on to increase the air volume of the indoor unit 10, so that the indoor temperature quickly reaches the preset temperature of the user, when the indoor temperature is stable, the second air supply assembly 120 may not be operated, and only the first air supply assembly 110 is operated to maintain the indoor temperature stable, so that the air supply capacity of the second air supply assembly 120 is not required to be the same as the air supply capacity of the first air supply assembly 110.
Or, when the indoor air quality is seriously polluted and the oxygen content is low, and the fresh air device 200 needs to be opened, the second air supply assembly 120 can be started to operate, so that the function of auxiliary air supply is achieved, the indoor air is rapidly updated by the outdoor fresh air, and the indoor air quality is rapidly recovered to a good state.

The aperture of the water-absorbing and water-retaining material is 1-2 cm, and the water-absorbing and water-retaining material is used for absorbing water in the square water tank 231 to the ventilating grid 232 to humidify outdoor fresh air. Preferably, the aperture of the water-absorbing and water-retaining material is 2mm, so that the humidity at the ventilating grid 232 is ensured, the outdoor fresh air is fully humidified, and the outdoor fresh air stably and smoothly passes through the ventilating grid 232. If the aperture is less than 1mm, a large amount of fresh outdoor air can be collected at the ventilation grating 232, and when the pressure reaches a certain degree, the connection relationship between the water-absorbing and water-retaining material and the clip-shaped water tank 231 is damaged. When the pore diameter is larger than 2mm, the humidifying effect is not so remarkable.
Because the humidifying component is arranged in the air inlet cavity, outdoor fresh air passes through the air inlet cavity and enters the air supply cavity, the outdoor fresh air is humidified by the humidifying component, and the humidity of the outdoor fresh air entering the room is improved. Especially when using new trend device winter, increase the humidity of indoor air, improve user's comfort level.

As shown in fig. 6, when the cleaning module 251 needs to be replaced or water needs to be filled into the rectangular trough 231, the user pulls out the cleaning module 251 through the pull handle 252, and replaces the cleaning module 251 or fills water into the rectangular trough 231, so that the structure is simple and the operation is convenient for the user.
In addition, there is the clearance between purification module 251 and the ventilation bars 232, and the clearance here plays the cushioning effect to outdoor new trend, can make outdoor new trend fully humidify in ventilation bars 232 department on the one hand, and on the other hand makes the even stable entering of outdoor new trend purify module 251.
The purification module 251 can purify air delivered to the room using a high electric field dielectric technology. Specifically, this purification module 251 is IFD purifier, and IFD is a dust removal technique, for the most advanced among the present dust removal technique, the most efficient technique, and the effectivity is extremely strong.
