The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the invention. To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize the applicability of other processes and/or the use of other materials.

Next, with reference to the drawings, a fresh air component 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the fresh air component 100 includes: the fan assembly comprises a shell assembly 1 and a fan assembly 2, wherein a first cavity 101, a second cavity 102 and a third cavity 103 are arranged in the shell assembly 1, a first ventilation opening 104, a second ventilation opening 105 and a third ventilation opening 106 are arranged on the shell assembly 1, the first ventilation opening 104 is communicated with the first cavity 101, the second ventilation opening 105 is communicated with the second cavity 102, the third ventilation opening 106 is communicated with the third cavity 103, the second ventilation opening 105 is suitable for being communicated with the outside, the first ventilation opening 104 and the third ventilation opening 106 are both suitable for being communicated with the inside of the room, and the fan assembly 2 is arranged in the first cavity 101. Thus, air may enter the first chamber 101 through the first vent 104, air may enter and exit the second chamber 102 through the second vent 105, and air may exit the third chamber 103 through the third vent 106.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the fresh air component 100 further includes: the first valve assembly 3 is switchable between a first open state in which the first valve assembly 3 connects the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 with the third chamber 103 and separates the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 from the second chamber 102, and a first closed state in which the first valve assembly 3 separates the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 from the third chamber 103 and connects the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 with the second chamber 102. Thus, in operation of the fan assembly 2, as shown in figures 3 and 4, in the first open condition the air flow exiting the first chamber 101 may flow to the third chamber 103 but not to the second chamber 102, as shown in figure 5, and in the first closed condition the air flow exiting the first chamber 101 may flow to the second chamber 102 but not to the third chamber 103.

As shown in fig. 3 to 5, the fresh air component 100 further includes: a second valve assembly 4, the second valve assembly 4 being switchable between a second open state in which the second valve assembly 4 places the inlet a2 of the first chamber 101 in communication with the second chamber 102, and a second closed state in which the second valve assembly 4 closes off the inlet a2 of the first chamber 101 from the second chamber 102. Thus, when the fan assembly 2 is in operation, as shown in fig. 3, the first chamber 101 may draw an airflow from the second chamber 102 in the second open state, as shown in fig. 4 and 5, and the first chamber 101 may not draw an airflow from the second chamber 102 in the second closed state.

Therefore, the fresh air component 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may have at least the following three operation modes.

In a first mode of operation, as shown in fig. 3, the first valve assembly 3 is in a first open state and the second valve assembly 4 is in a second open state, wherein the inlet a2 of the first chamber 101 is in communication with the second chamber 102, the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 is in communication with the third chamber 103, and the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 is not in communication with the second chamber 102. When the blower assembly 2 is in operation, outdoor air may enter the second chamber 102 through the second ventilation opening 105, then enter the first chamber 101 from the second chamber 102, and then be discharged from the first chamber 101 to the third chamber 103, and then be discharged to the indoor through the third ventilation opening 106. Therefore, the fresh air function of introducing outdoor fresh air from the outdoor to the indoor can be realized.

In a second operating mode, as shown in fig. 4, the first valve assembly 3 is in the first open state and the second valve assembly 4 is in the second closed state, in which the inlet a2 of the first chamber 101 is not in communication with the second chamber 102, the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 is in communication with the third chamber 103, and the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 is not in communication with the second chamber 102. When the fan assembly 2 is in operation, air in the room can enter the first chamber 101 through the first vent 104, then enter the third chamber 103 from the first chamber 101, and then exit the room through the third vent 106. Thus, an internal circulation function of introducing air from the room and discharging the air to the room can be realized.

In a third mode of operation, as shown in fig. 5, the first valve assembly 3 is in the first closed state and the second valve assembly 4 is in the second closed state, in which the inlet a2 of the first chamber 101 is not in communication with the second chamber 102, the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 is in communication with the second chamber 102, and the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 is not in communication with the third chamber 103. When the blower assembly 2 is in operation, indoor air may enter the first chamber 101 through the first ventilation opening 104, then enter the second chamber 102 from the first chamber 101, and then be discharged to the outside through the second ventilation opening 105. Therefore, the air exhaust function of introducing air from the indoor and then exhausting the air to the outdoor can be realized, and the effect of discharging the air to the outdoor can be achieved.

As can be seen from the above description, the first ventilation opening 104 can be used as an air inlet of an internal circulation function and an air inlet of an air exhaust function, the second ventilation opening 105 can be used as an air inlet of a fresh air function and an air outlet of an air exhaust function, and the third ventilation opening 106 can be used as an air outlet of a fresh air function and an air outlet of an internal circulation function. In addition, it should be noted that, under the fresh air function, the path of the airflow flowing through the inside of the casing assembly 1 is called a fresh air channel, under the internal circulation function, the path of the airflow flowing through the inside of the casing assembly 1 is called an internal circulation channel, and under the exhaust function, the path of the airflow flowing through the inside of the casing assembly 1 is called an exhaust channel.

Therefore, according to the fresh air component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the two valve assemblies, i.e., the first valve assembly 3 and the second valve assembly 4, and matching the different opening and closing states of the two valve assemblies, the air processing channel can be opened while the air processing channel is closed, and the air processing channel can be opened while the air processing channel is closed. That is to say, through setting up two valve components, make air treatment passageway and exhaust passageway have the mutual exclusivity, through the design to two valve components, realize opening air treatment passageway simultaneously, close the exhaust passageway, open the exhaust passageway simultaneously, close air treatment passageway. By switching the on-off state of the two valve components, the air flow direction inside the housing component 1 can be changed, thereby realizing different functions.

In short, according to the fresh air component 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the inner cavity of the housing assembly 1 is designed as above, and the first valve assembly 3 and the second valve assembly 4 having the above functions are provided, so that at least the switching of the internal circulation function, the fresh air function, and the air exhaust function can be realized, thereby meeting different requirements of users. Moreover, the first valve assembly 3 can control the communication between the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 and one of the third chamber 103 and the second chamber 102, or the mutual exclusivity of the communication between the outlet a1 of the first chamber 101 and the third chamber 103 and the communication between the first chamber 101 and the second chamber 102, so as to save the number of valves used therein, simplify the structure, reduce the cost and improve the assembly efficiency.
