[0002] In recent years, due to the rapid economic development and the acceleration of urbanization, air pollution has become increasingly serious. Most cities have experienced smog weather. The increase in PM2.5 concentration will directly lead to frequent smog weather, a substantial increase in toxic and harmful substances in the fog, and other problems, which have seriously threatened human health. In this case, conventional household air conditioners can no longer meet people's needs, and health, comfort and environmental protection have become the goals of modern air conditioning development.

[0003] For ordinary air conditioners, in order to ensure its air conditioning effect, the air-conditioned room must be closed, resulting in an increase in indoor dust, smoke, bacteria, viruses, and exhaust gas, a decrease in oxygen content, and worsening air quality. In recent years, as "air-conditioning disease" has attracted increasing attention, people have been asked not to stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time, and to improve the indoor environment by opening windows to let in fresh air or by exhausting indoor air to create negative pressure through the gaps of doors and windows to let in fresh air.

[0004] At present, air conditioner indoor units with fresh air structures have been launched on the market. However, existing air conditioner indoor units with fresh air structures have the following problems:

[0005] 1. The exhaust effect is poor, which cannot effectively improve the indoor air quality;

[0006] 2. Poor human comfort, that is, in summer, the human body will feel that the temperature of the fresh air blown out by the air conditioner is higher than the indoor temperature, and in winter, the human body will feel that the temperature of the fresh air blown out by the air conditioner is lower than the indoor temperature;

[0007] 3. High energy consumption and poor energy saving effect;

[0008] 4. The introduction of fresh air results in poor cooling and heating effects of air conditioning. Summary of the invention

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0033] The present invention provides an air conditioner indoor unit, please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The air-conditioning indoor unit includes a casing 10 and a fresh air device, which is installed in the casing 10 to introduce outdoor fresh air into the room through the fresh air device; wherein, a fresh air outlet 32 ​​and an air-conditioning outlet 20 are provided on the casing 10, the fresh air device has a fresh air channel, and the fresh air outlet 32 ​​is connected to the fresh air channel; the minimum distance between the fresh air outlet 32 ​​and the air-conditioning outlet 20 is the synchronous air supply distance, and the synchronous air supply distance is less than or equal to the predetermined air supply distance, so that the air-conditioning wind flowing out of the air-conditioning outlet 20 drives the fresh air flowing out of the fresh air outlet 32 ​​to flow.

[0034] In the air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, by setting a synchronous air supply distance between the fresh air outlet 32 ​​and the air-conditioning outlet 20, the air-conditioned air flowing out of the air-conditioning outlet 20 can drive the flow of fresh air flowing out of the fresh air outlet 32. This can not only increase the air supply distance of the fresh air flowing out of the fresh air outlet 32, so that the fresh air can be transported to a farther human activity area; it can also change the direction of the fresh air flowing out of the fresh air outlet 32 ​​by changing the air volume and flow direction of the air-conditioned air flowing out of the air-conditioning outlet 20, thereby achieving a better fresh air supply effect, so that the indoor air quality is quickly and effectively improved, thereby solving the problem that the air-conditioning indoor unit in the prior art cannot effectively improve the indoor air quality.

[0035] In addition, after the fresh air coming out of the fresh air outlet 32 ​​merges with the air-conditioned air coming out of the air-conditioning outlet 20, the fresh air coming out of the fresh air outlet 32 ​​can exchange heat with the air-conditioned air coming out of the air-conditioning outlet 20, thereby increasing the supply air temperature of the fresh air, making the supply air temperature of the fresh air closer to the air-conditioning air temperature, thereby improving human comfort.
