In the following description of the present application, the air conditioner 100 is exemplified as a cabinet air conditioner, and a person skilled in the art will readily understand that the air conditioner 100 is an air conditioner of other types after reading the following technical solutions.

As shown in fig. 1-4, the air conditioner 100 includes a housing 1, a first air duct 10a and a second air duct 10b are provided in the housing 1, the housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 1a, a first air outlet 1b, a second air outlet 1c and an air outlet 1d, the air inlet 1a and the first air outlet 1b are both communicated with the first air duct 10a, and the second air outlet 1c and the air outlet 1d are both communicated with the second air duct 10b, so that air outside the housing 1 can flow into the first air duct 10a through the air inlet 1a and be blown out through the first air outlet 1b to realize air outlet of the air conditioner 100, and air flowing into the second air duct 10b can be blown out through the second air outlet 1c to realize air outlet of the air conditioner 100, and of course, air flowing into the second air duct 10b can also be discharged through the air outlet 1 d.

The air conditioner 100 further includes a heat exchanging component 2, the heat exchanging component 2 is disposed in the first air duct 10a, and the air flowing through the first air duct 10a can exchange heat with the heat exchanging component 2 to adjust the ambient temperature.

The operation control of the first fan 31 and the second fan 41 may be specifically set according to the actual application. For example, the first and second fans 31 and 41 may be configured such that both the first and second fans 31 and 41 are operated when the air conditioner 100 is operated, that is, both the first and second fans 31 and 41 are operated whenever the air conditioner 100 is turned on regardless of the state; alternatively, the first and second fans 31 and 41 may be configured such that at least one of the first and second fans 31 and 41 is operated when the air conditioner 100 is operated, that is, at least one of the first and second fans 31 and 41 is operated whenever the air conditioner 100 is turned on in any state; alternatively, the first fan 31 and the second fan 41 may be configured such that the first fan 31 operates and the second fan 41 may be freely switched when the air conditioner 100 operates, that is, in any state, as long as the air conditioner 100 is turned on, the first fan 31 operates and the second fan 41 may operate when the corresponding function is turned on; alternatively, the first fan 31 and the second fan 41 may be configured such that the second fan 41 operates when the air conditioner 100 operates, and the first fan 31 may be freely switched, that is, in any state, the second fan 41 operates whenever the air conditioner 100 is turned on, and the first fan 31 may operate when the corresponding function is turned on.

In the following description, the first fan 31 and the second fan 41 are operated as an example, and a person skilled in the art can easily understand technical solutions of other operation modes of the first fan 31 and the second fan 41 after reading the following technical solutions.

The air conditioner 100 further includes an air-out switching component 5, and the air-out switching component 5 switches the air out of the second air duct 10b through at least one of the second air outlet 1c and the air outlet 1d, and then includes the following conditions: 1. the air outlet switching component 5 switches the second air duct 10b to outlet air through the second air outlet 1c, and the air outlet 1d does not outlet air (as shown in fig. 3); 2. the air outlet switching component 5 switches the second air duct 10b to pass through the outlet of the air outlet 1d, and the second air outlet 1c does not output air (as shown in fig. 4); 3. the air outlet switching component 5 switches the second air duct 10b to uniformly outlet air through the second air outlet 1c and the air outlet 1 d. It can be seen that the air outlet switching component 5 has multiple switching states, so that the second air duct 10b has multiple different air outlet modes, thereby enriching the operation modes of the air conditioner 100 and facilitating the air conditioner 100 to better meet the actual differentiation requirements.

The air outlet 1d may be used to discharge the air flow to the outside and/or the inside, that is, the air flow at the air outlet 1d may be completely discharged to the inside, or a part of the air flow at the air outlet 1d may be discharged to the outside and a part of the air flow may be discharged to the inside.

It can be understood that, when the air outlet 1d is used for exhausting the air flow to the outdoor, if the air outlet switching component 5 switches the air outlet of the air outlet 1d, the air flow in the second air duct 10b can be exhausted to the outdoor through the air outlet 1d, so as to realize the air exchange function of the air conditioner 100, so as to exhaust the dirty air in the room to the outdoor, and the outdoor fresh air can be supplemented to the indoor through other positions of the whole environment, so as to ensure the fresh and healthy indoor air, and at this time, the air conditioner 100 has the fresh air function to a certain extent, so that no additional fresh air system is needed to be separately arranged, which is beneficial to simplifying the structure of the air conditioner 100, saving the internal space of the casing 1, and reducing the cost; when the air outlet 1d is used for discharging the air flow to the indoor, if the air outlet switching component 5 switches the air outlet of the air outlet 1d, the air flow in the second air duct 10b can be discharged to the indoor through the air outlet 1d, so as to improve the circulation of the indoor air; when the air outlet 1d is used for discharging the air flow to the indoor and outdoor, if the air outlet switching part 5 switches the air outlet of the air outlet 1d, the ventilation can be realized and the indoor air circulation can be improved. In the following description, the exhaust outlet 1d is used to exhaust the airflow to the outside as an example, and after reading the following technical solutions, a person skilled in the art can easily understand the technical solutions that the exhaust outlet 1d exhausts the airflow to the inside of the room and the exhaust outlet 1d exhausts the airflow to the inside and the outside of the room.

The air conditioner 100 further includes an air duct switching member 6, the air duct switching member 6 having a first switching state and a second switching state, and the air duct switching member 6 being switchable with each other between the first switching state and the second switching state. In the first switching state (as shown in fig. 3), the air duct switching member 6 communicates the second air duct 10b with the first air duct 10a, and the air duct switching member 6 blocks the second air duct 10b from the air inlet 1a, so that the second air duct 10b is not communicated with the air inlet 1a, at this time, the air flow at the air inlet 1a cannot directly flow into the second air duct 10b, and because the air inlet 1a is communicated with the first air duct 10a, the air flow at the air inlet 1a flows into the first air duct 10a, a part of the air flow in the first air duct 10a can be blown out through the first air outlet 1b, and a part of the air flow in the first air duct 10a can flow into the second air duct 10 b; in the second switching state (as shown in fig. 4), the air duct switching component 6 communicates the second air duct 10b and the air inlet 1a, and the air duct switching component 6 blocks the second air duct 10b from the first air duct 10a, so that the second air duct 10b is not communicated with the first air duct 10a, at this time, the air flow at the air inlet 1a can directly flow into the first air duct 10a and the second air duct 10b, and the air flow in the first air duct 10a can be blown out through the first air outlet 1 b.
