[0055] In view of the two setting modes of the outer wall of the air conditioner body 2, the external device 1 is provided with the following two connection modes:

[0056] Reference Fig. 9 The first connection mode is that the outer wall of the air inlet of the air conditioner body 2 is a convex arc surface. The first hook 112 on the outer shell 11 is connected to the horizontal grid bar 22 of the air inlet grille 21, so that the external device 1 is connected to the air inlet, and the concave arc surface 111 on the outer shell 11 is in contact with the convex arc surface at the air inlet, see Figure 2 .

[0057] Reference Fig.10 , the second connection method is that the outer wall at the air inlet of the air conditioner body 2 is a plane. First, the third hook 122 of the connecting member 12 is connected to the horizontal bars 22 of the air inlet grille 21, so that the connecting member 12 is connected to the air inlet. Then the first hook 112 of the outer shell 11 extends into the socket 121 of the connecting member 12, so that the outer shell 11 is connected to the connecting member 12. In this connection method, the connecting member 12 can compensate for the gap between the concave arc surface 111 on the outer shell 11 and the plane at the air inlet, so that the two protruding edges of the concave arc surface 111 abut against the plane of the air conditioner, so that the external device 1 can be connected to the air conditioner body 2, see for details. Figure 4 .

[0058] The above-mentioned setting method allows the external device 1 to be connected to an air conditioner with a convex arc-shaped shell 11 or an air conditioner with a flat shell 11, making the connection method of the external device 1 more flexible, the application range wider, and the versatility stronger.

[0059] Reference Fig.11The housing 11 is provided with a cavity, the front of the housing 11 is provided with an air inlet, the back of the housing 11 is provided with an exhaust port, and both the air inlet and the exhaust port are connected to the cavity.

Afterwards, the external device 1 is connected to the air inlet of the air conditioner main body 2. When the air conditioner main body 2 drives the external air into the air inlet, it first enters the cavity through the air inlet of the shell 11, and the air contacts the wet curtain 13 in the cavity, so that the water in the wet curtain 13 evaporates and increases the humidity of the air. Afterwards, the air passing through the wet curtain 13 is discharged from the exhaust port of the shell 11 and enters the air inlet of the air conditioner main body 2. Afterwards, it is discharged into the room through the air outlet of the air conditioner main body 2, thereby increasing the air humidity in the room.

[0063] Furthermore, the water tank 16 is connected to the inlet of the water pump, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to the water box 14. When the water pump is started, the water in the water tank 16 can be driven into the water box 14, so that the water circulates between the water tank 16, the water box 14 and the wet curtain 13 in the cavity, thereby making full use of the water in the external device 1.

[0064] The filter element is specifically a formaldehyde removal filter element, and the formaldehyde removal filter element is specifically a filter material with a formaldehyde removal agent disposed therein, and when the air flows through the filter material, it can fully contact the formaldehyde removal agent. When the formaldehyde removal filter element is installed in the cavity, when the air conditioner main body 2 drives the external air into the air inlet, it first enters the cavity through the air inlet of the shell 11, and the air contacts the formaldehyde removal filter element in the cavity, and the formaldehyde removal filter element can remove formaldehyde in the air. Afterwards, the air passing through the formaldehyde removal filter element is discharged from the exhaust port of the shell 11 and enters the air inlet of the air conditioner main body 2.

[0065] It should be noted that regarding the filter element, although the filter element in this embodiment is a formaldehyde removal filter element, this setting method is not a limitation of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, technical personnel in this field may also adopt other filtering devices in other embodiments, which does not deviate from the basic principles of the present invention and therefore will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0066] Continue to refer to Fig.12 The aromatherapy box 17 is arranged at the air inlet of the cavity. The aromatherapy box 17 can store fragrance, and the fragrance is specifically aromatherapy essential oil. The aromatherapy box 17 is provided with a through hole 141. When the external air passes through the air inlet, the fragrance in the aromatherapy box 17 is diffused into the air through the through hole 141 of the aromatherapy box 17, thereby improving the smell of the air.

[0067] In summary, the external device 1 can be adjusted according to the needs of the user. Specifically, when it is necessary to remove formaldehyde from the indoor air, the formaldehyde removal filter element can be installed in the cavity; when it is necessary to humidify the indoor air, the wet curtain 13 can be installed in the cavity and water can be added to the water box 14; when it is necessary to improve the smell of the indoor air, fragrance can be added to the aromatherapy box 17.
