[0030] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and drawings. Herein, the illustrative embodiments of the present application and their descriptions are used to explain the present application, but not as a limitation of the present application.

[0031] In order to solve the technical problem that the anti-condensation method used by the fresh air component of the fresh air conditioner in the prior art is easy to fail, the present application provides an embodiment of a fresh air component, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , which comprises a fresh air body 10 and a volute 20 arranged on the fresh air body 10, wherein the volute 20 is provided with a condensation flow guide structure 21, and the condensation flow guide structure 21 is used to guide the condensation water generated on the volute 20 to a predetermined position.

[0032] By applying the technical solution of the present application, the condensation flow guide structure 21 is arranged on the volute 20 which contacts the air most, so that even if a large amount of condensation water is generated on the volute 20, the condensation water can be guided to the predetermined position by the condensation flow guide structure 21, thereby avoiding the problems caused by accidental dripping of the condensation water, and effectively avoiding the technical problem that the anti-condensation is easy to fail in the prior art.

[0033] This design achieves the effect of anti-condensation, without the need to paste sponge insulation, nor the need for additional components. By guiding the condensation water, the sponge used for insulation is reduced, the assembly of structural parts is reduced, and the production efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0034] ​​​​​As a more preferred implementation, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The condensation drainage structure 22 is arranged on the volute 20 and connected with the condensation guide structure 21. In use, the condensation drainage structure 22 is used to drain the condensation water generated on the volute 20 to the condensation guide structure 21, so as to facilitate the condensation guide structure 21 to discharge the condensation water.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2 In the technical solution of the embodiment, the condensation drainage structure 22 includes two water guide ribs arranged on the volute 20, the water guide ribs are connected with the condensation guide structure 21, and the two water guide ribs are distributed on the left and right sides of the condensation guide structure 21 in the circumferential direction of the volute 20, thereby helping to guide the condensation water to the condensation guide structure 21. More preferably, the two water guide ribs together with the inner wall of the volute 20 form a funnel shape, thereby having a more excellent effect of aggregating condensation water.

[0036] As other optional implementation, the water guide ribs can also be more, and the more water guide ribs are distributed on the side of the condensation guide structure 21 in the circumferential direction of the volute 20. The arrangement of the water guide ribs is appropriate to guide the condensation water to the condensation guide structure 21. It should be noted that the side here can be the left and right sides in the figure, or the front and back sides not shown in the figure. Figure 2

[0037] As shown in Figure 3 In the technical solution of the embodiment, the condensation guide structure 21 is located at the bottom of the volute 20. In this way, it is more convenient to collect the condensation water generated at all positions on the volute 20 by using the gravity.

[0038] Preferably, the condensation guide structure 21 is inclined downward relative to the horizontal direction, so as to facilitate the condensation water flow collected to flow out of the fresh air component. Optionally, the angle between the condensation guide structure 21 and the horizontal direction is α, and 10°<α<60°.

[0039] As shown in Figure 1 ​As shown, in the technical scheme of the embodiment, the fresh air main body 10 comprises a fixing frame 11 and a sealing cover 12, the volute 20 is installed on one side of the fixing frame 11, and the sealing cover 12 is installed on the other side of the fixing frame 11. During installation, the volute 20 is first installed on the fixing frame 11, and then the sealing cover 12 is installed. Optionally, the fixing form of buckles or screws can be selected between the volute 20 and the fixing frame 11, and the fixing form of buckles or screws can also be selected between the sealing cover 12 and the fixing frame 11. Optionally, the volute 20 comprises a volute body 20a and a volute cover 20b, the volute cover 20b is connected with the fixing frame 11, and the volute body 20a is installed on the volute cover 20b. The condensation water diversion structure 21 and the condensation water drainage structure 22 described above can be formed on the volute body 20a.

[0040] It should be noted that the condensation water diversion structure 21 and the condensation water drainage structure 22 described above can be integrally injection molded on the volute 20 of the fresh air component. By using the action of gravity, the condensation water is automatically drained, and no additional movement mechanism or additional power is required during work. Even in the state that the fresh air function is not turned on, the fresh air component can also work normally.

[0041] The application further provides a fresh air air conditioner, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the fresh air air conditioner comprises an air conditioner main body 30 and a fresh air component installed on the air conditioner main body 30, the fresh air component is the fresh air component described above, a flow channel structure 31 for collecting condensation water is arranged in the air conditioner main body 30, and the condensation water diversion structure 21 guides the condensation water to the flow channel structure 31. During use, the condensation water generated on the fresh air component is guided to the flow channel structure 31 arranged in the air conditioner main body 30, so that the condensation water is prevented from accidentally dripping.

[0042] It should be noted that the flow channel structure 31 described above can be a water pan structure or the like structure already existing in the existing fresh air air conditioner, or can be a specific structure as in the application. The flow channel structure 31 only needs to properly handle the condensation water.

[0043] More preferably, as shown in Figure 5 , a drain port 32 is further arranged on the air conditioner main body 30, and the drain port 32 is connected with the flow channel structure 31. The condensation water can be timely drained out of the air conditioner main body 30 through the drain port 32, so that the condensation water is prevented from overflowing from the flow channel structure 31 and affecting the use of the fresh air air conditioner. More preferably, a drain pipe 33 is further arranged on the air conditioner main body 30, and the drain pipe 33 is connected with the drain port 32. By using the drain pipe 33, the condensation water can also be drained out of the air conditioner main body 30 to a specified position.

[0044] As shown in Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the fresh air air conditioner further comprises a condensation water collection container 34, the condensation water collection container 34 is arranged in the air conditioner main body 30, and the flow channel structure 31 is connected with the condensation water collection container 34.As shown, in this embodiment, the fresh air component and the drain outlet 32 ​​are located at opposite first and second ends of the air conditioning unit 30, respectively. Condensation generated on the fresh air component drips into the flow channel structure 31, and condensation generated in the air conditioning unit 30 also drips into the flow channel structure 31, ultimately being discharged through the drain outlet 32 ​​at the second end of the air conditioning unit 30. More preferably, the flow channel structure 31 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction, and the flow channel structure 31 is inclined downwards towards the drain outlet 32, to facilitate the complete discharge of condensation within the air conditioning unit 30.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, optionally, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the air conditioner body 30 includes a bottom shell component 30a, a panel body component 30b disposed on the bottom shell component 30a, a panel component 30c mounted on the panel body component 30b, and an evaporator component 30d mounted between the bottom shell component 30a and the panel body component 30b.

[0046] Specifically, the working process of the fresh air conditioner of this invention is as follows:

[0047] When the fresh air function is activated and the fresh air conditioner is in operation, the fresh air components begin to work, resulting in alternating hot and cold air inside the fresh air conditioner. Moisture in the surrounding air condenses upon contact with the cold air, forming condensation that adheres to the outer surface of the fresh air components. Numerous small condensation droplets gradually coalesce into larger droplets. Under the influence of gravity, these larger droplets slowly flow downwards along the inner wall of the volute 20, eventually converging on the condensation guide structure 21 via the condensation drainage structure 22. The condensation guide structure 21 has a certain angle of inclination, guiding the collected condensation to the flow channel structure 31 of the lower bottom shell component 30a, where it merges with condensation from other components of the air conditioner body 30, including but not limited to the evaporator component 30d and the panel component 30b. The accumulated condensation, guided by the flow channel structure 31, reaches the bottom drain outlet 32 ​​and flows into the drain pipe 33. Finally, all the condensation is discharged from the indoor unit of the air conditioner, completing the entire anti-condensation process.

[0048] Even when the fresh air function is turned off and the air conditioner is running, the indoor unit of the air conditioner still experiences alternating hot and cold temperatures, resulting in condensation. The condensation guiding structure 21 and condensation diversion structure 22 of this invention can work without the fresh air component being activated, and the condensation will be discharged from the indoor unit of the air conditioner along the above-mentioned path, thus achieving the effect of preventing condensation.

[0049] In the implementation process of the structure of the present application, when the fresh air function is opened, the large and small condensation water generated on the surface of the fresh air component will not enter the inside of the fresh air component or drip to other positions of the fresh air conditioner, and the condensation water will be guided to the flow channel structure 31 to discharge the fresh air conditioner through the condensation flow guide structure 21; after the fresh air function is closed, due to the low temperature of the air conditioner indoor unit itself, the surface of the fresh air component is still easy to generate condensation water, and under the action of the condensation flow guide structure 21 and the condensation drainage structure 22, the condensation water generated on the surface of the fresh air component can be discharged in time, so that the condensation water will not be attached to the surface of each part for a long time, so that the outer surface of the fresh air component always maintains a dry state.

[0050] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the embodiments of the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
