Referring to the drawings, on the basis of the air exhaust mode, the air exhaust motor is turned off, when the fresh air motor is turned on, outdoor air flows into the sealing cover 110 through the fresh air pipe joint 72, is filtered by the filter screen 81 and the filter screen 81, flows into a room under the drive of the fresh air impeller, and realizes a single-pipe induced air mode, and outdoor fresh air is introduced into the room to regulate indoor air.
As can be seen from the drawings, the switching mechanism 40 is switched to the position of fig. 3 (position 2), at which time the upper rack assembly will block the air flow from the air exhaust air duct joint 71 to the air exhaust impeller, and the air flow from the air exhaust air duct joint 71 to the fresh air impeller. When the fresh air motor is started, external air flows into the exhaust air pipe joint 71 and the fresh air pipe joint 72 simultaneously, then air flow is filtered through the filter screen 81, and the air flow flows into a room under the drive of the fresh air impeller, so that a double-pipe induced air mode can be realized, and the fresh air quantity is increased.
As shown in fig. 10 to 12, a second embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner indoor unit, where the air conditioner indoor unit includes a fresh air device, and the fresh air device is the fresh air device provided in the foregoing embodiment. The indoor unit of the air conditioner in this embodiment is mainly a cabinet air conditioner structure.
From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiment of the present invention achieves the following technical effects of integrating fresh air introduction and blow-down air introduction, achieving single-pipe and double-pipe fresh air introduction, and improving indoor air quality.
It is noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, the singular is also intended to include the plural unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, and furthermore, it is to be understood that the terms "comprises" and/or "comprising" when used in this specification are taken to specify the presence of stated features, steps, operations, devices, components, and/or combinations thereof.
The relative arrangement of the components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present application unless it is specifically stated otherwise. Meanwhile, it should be understood that the sizes of the respective parts shown in the drawings are not drawn in actual scale for convenience of description. Techniques, methods, and apparatus known to one of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but should be considered part of the specification where appropriate. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be construed as merely illustrative, and not a limitation. Thus, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that like reference numerals and letters refer to like items in the following figures, and thus once an item is defined in one figure, no further discussion thereof is necessary in subsequent figures.
In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the azimuth or positional relationships indicated by the azimuth terms such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, horizontal", and "top, bottom", etc., are generally based on the azimuth or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are merely for convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and these azimuth terms do not indicate and imply that the apparatus or elements referred to must have a specific azimuth or be constructed and operated in a specific azimuth, and thus should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application, and the azimuth terms "inside and outside" refer to inside and outside with respect to the outline of each component itself.
Spatially relative terms, such as "above," "upper" and "upper surface," "above" and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one device or feature's spatial relationship to another device or feature as illustrated in the figures. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures would then be oriented "below" or "beneath" the other devices or structures. Thus, the process is carried out, the exemplary term "above" may be included. Upper and lower. Two orientations below. The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used to define the components, and are only for convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components, and the terms have no special meaning unless otherwise stated, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present application.
The above description is only of the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention, but various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
