In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, the fresh air module 300 is provided with a fresh air module outlet 301, and the air conditioner further includes a fresh air outlet duct 503.

The fresh air outlet pipeline 503 connects the fresh air module outlet 301 and the air conditioner outlet 101 to deliver fresh air and/or enriched oxygen to the air conditioner outlet 101.

In some embodiments, oxygenation module 400 is a molecular sieve oxygenerator or an oxygen membrane oxygenerator. By the arrangement, the oxygen increasing module 400 can be ensured to be enriched with oxygen in the air, so that oxygen is continuously provided for the indoor space.

Optionally, oxygenation module 400 is a molecular sieve oxygenerator. The molecular sieve oxygenerator uses pressure swing adsorption technology, takes air as raw material, does not need any additive, and can separate oxygen with purity of more than 90% from air by adsorbing nitrogen and other gases through the molecular sieve. The adsorbent (zeolite molecular sieve) has certain difference in adsorption capacity to oxygen in air and other gases such as nitrogen, so that the nitrogen and the other gases can be adsorbed through the molecular sieve to produce oxygen with higher concentration. In addition, the pressure swing adsorption process can not generate chemical reaction, is safer, and can continuously separate oxygen from air.

It can be understood that when air enters the bed layer filled with the adsorbent, the molecular sieve has stronger adsorption capacity to nitrogen and is adsorbed; while oxygen is not adsorbed, so that a high concentration of oxygen can be obtained at the outlet end of the adsorbent bed. Because the adsorbent has the characteristic that the adsorption quantity changes along with the pressure, the adsorption can alternately perform adsorption and desorption operations by changing the pressure. The whole process is a periodic dynamic circulation process, and the molecular sieve is not consumed.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, the molecular sieve oxygenerator comprises a filter 401, a compressor 402, a cooler 403, a separation valve 404, a molecular sieve column 405, a control valve 406, and a humidification water tank 407, in communication.

The compressor 402 sucks raw material air from an outdoor space; the raw air flow passes through a filter 401 and then enters a compressor 402, and the filter 401 can filter oil, water, solid impurities (such as dust) and the like in the raw air; after being pressurized by the compressor 402, the raw material air flows to the cooler 403 and is cooled to normal temperature by the cooler 403; the treated compressed air enters a molecular sieve tower 405 filled with molecular sieves through a separating valve 404, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and the like in the air are adsorbed by the molecular sieves, and the effluent gas is high-purity oxygen. The control valve 406 can control the flow of oxygen, and the humidification water tank 407 can increase the humidity of oxygen, avoids oxygen too dry.

Alternatively, compressor 402 is an oil-free air compressor. The oil-free air compressor is made of materials which do not contain oily substances, lubricating oil is not required to be added in the working process of the oil-free air compressor, and the quality of discharged air is greatly improved.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, a fresh air module 300 is disposed at the bottom of the indoor unit 100. So configured, the fresh air module 300 is conveniently disposed.

In some embodiments, the air conditioner further comprises a controller configured to:

and under the condition that the heat exchange fan of the air conditioner works and the user has oxygenation requirements, the second oxygenation pipeline 502 is controlled to be conducted.

Thus, oxygen generated by the oxygenation module 400 is conveyed to the indoor space through the heat exchange fan, and the fresh air module 300 does not need to be additionally started, so that energy conservation is facilitated, and the energy consumption of the air conditioner is reduced.

Under the condition that the heat exchange fan of the air conditioner does not work and the user has oxygenation demands, the first oxygenation pipeline 500 is controlled to be conducted, and the fresh air module 300 is controlled to be started.

Thus, oxygen generated by the oxygen increasing module 400 can be conveyed to the indoor space through the fresh air module 300, and oxygen increasing is achieved.

Optionally, the user has oxygenation requirements including the following two possible implementations: in a first possible embodiment, the user controls the air conditioner to operate in an oxygenation mode, for example, by switching the oxygenation mode of the air conditioner. In a second possible implementation manner, the air conditioner is provided with one or more oxygen concentration sensors, the current oxygen concentration of the indoor space can be measured through the oxygen concentration sensors, and the air conditioner operates in an oxygenation mode when the current oxygen concentration is lower than a preset oxygen concentration.

Optionally, the operation of the heat exchange fan of the air conditioner includes: an air conditioner operation heating mode or an air conditioner operation cooling mode, and the like.

In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a floor air conditioner.
