[0046] In the description of the present application, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples" or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0047] An embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, including a main body and a fresh air module connected to the main body, wherein the fresh air module includes a filtering system 1000 for filtering indoor air or outdoor fresh air.

[0048] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a schematic diagram of the structure of the filtration system 1000 provided in this embodiment and a schematic diagram of the cross section of the filtration system 1000. It can be known that in this embodiment, the filtration system 1000 includes:

[0049] The filter air duct is formed with a first channel section 1110 and a second channel section 1120 which are connected in sequence, and the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the first channel section 1110 is larger than the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the second channel section 1120;

[0050] The filter 1200 is arranged in the filter air duct and can be switched between a working position and a purge position;

[0051] When the filter screen 1200 is in the working position, the filter screen 1200 is located between the two ends of the first channel section 1110 . When the filter screen 1200 is in the purge position, the filter screen 1200 is located between the two ends of the second channel section 1120 .

[0052] In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, the filter air duct is formed with a first channel section 1110 and a second channel section 1120 that are connected, and the air flow can flow between the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120.

[0053] like Figure 2 , Figure 2 The dotted arrow is used to represent the flow path of the airflow. At this time, the filter screen 1200 is in the working position. It can be known that when the filter screen 1200 is in the working position, the filter screen 1200 filters the airflow passing through the first channel section 1110, so that the filter system 1000 realizes its own filtering function.

[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 3 The dotted arrow is used to represent the flow path of the airflow. At this time, the filter 1200 is in the purge position. When the filter 1200 is switched from the working position to the purge position, the filter 1200 will move to the second channel section 1120. At this time, since the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the first channel section 1110 is larger than the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the second channel section 1120, in the filter air duct, the flow rate of the airflow in the second channel section 1120 will be greater than the flow rate of the airflow in the first channel section 1110 and form a purge airflow, thereby purging and cleaning the filter 1200.

[0055] The technical solution provided in the present application mainly divides the filter air duct into a first channel section 1110 and a second channel section 1120 with different inner cross-sectional areas. The existing fan in the filter system is used to form an effective purge airflow to achieve the purge and cleaning of the filter screen 1200, avoiding the need to set up an additional purge fan to provide the purge airflow, and the structure of the filter system 1000 is simpler.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that the implementer can flexibly adjust the ratio of the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120. Ideally, the ratio of the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120 is 3:1 to 2:1. For example, 2.5:1. In this way, the flow velocity in the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120 can be greatly different, thereby forming a purge airflow with an ideal strength.

[0057] Among them, the filter 1200 can be an activated carbon filter or a HEPA filter. In this embodiment, the filter 1200 is slidably connected to the sliding notch formed in the filter air duct, so that the filter 1200 can be switched between the working position and the purging position by linear movement. It can be understood that when the filter 1200 is in the working position, the part of the filter 1200 covering the inner cross-section of the first channel section 1110 can be regarded as the working part, and the airflow is filtered by the working part. When the filter 1200 is in the purging position, the part of the filter 1200 covering the inner cross-section of the second channel section 1120 can be regarded as the purging part, and the purging part is purged and cleaned. When the inner cross-sectional area of ​​the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120 is larger than the filter 1200, the contours of the working part and the purging part can be consistent.

[0058] However, for the filter 1200, the dust accumulation rate in some areas is significantly higher than that in other areas. For example, when the air outlet is directly opposite to the center of the filter 1200, the dust accumulation rate in the center of the filter 1200 is higher than that at the edge of the filter 1200. Generally, only a local area of ​​the filter 1200 needs to be cleaned.

[0059] Correspondingly, in this embodiment, if Figure 2 When the filter screen 1200 is in the working position, the filter screen 1200 is inside the inner wall of the first channel section 1110; and when the filter screen 1200 is in the cleaning position, Figure 3 , the filter screen 1200 partially extends beyond the inner wall of the second channel section 1120. When in the purge position, only a part of the filter screen 1200 is passed through by the purge airflow. That is, the contour of the purge part of the filter screen 1200 is within the contour of the working part, so that the local area of ​​the filter screen 1200 is targetedly purged by the airflow, improving the cleaning effect of the local area of ​​the filter screen 1200.

[0060] Regarding the flow direction of the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120, the airflow can flow from the first channel section 1110 to the second channel section 1120, or from the second channel section 1120 to the first channel section 1110. Under the premise of not affecting the implementation purpose, the implementers can make specific selections according to their own needs.

[0061] In this embodiment, the filter system 1000 includes an outdoor air outlet 1300, which is connected to one end of the first channel section 1110 away from the second channel section 1120; the filter system 1000 also includes a first indoor air outlet 1400, which is connected to one end of the second channel section 1120 away from the first channel section 1110; at the same time, the filter system 1000 has an air inlet state in which the airflow flows from the outdoor air outlet 1300 to the filter air duct, and the filter system 1000 has an air outlet state in which the airflow flows from the filter air duct to the outdoor air outlet 1300. Here, the outdoor air outlet 1300 refers to an air outlet for direct or indirect communication with the outdoor environment, and correspondingly, the first indoor air outlet 1400 refers to an air outlet for direct or indirect communication with the indoor environment.

[0062] See also Figure 2 When the filter system 1000 works normally, the filter screen 1200 is in the working position and the filter system 1000 is in the air intake state. At this time, the outdoor fresh air flows from the outdoor environment to the indoor environment through the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first channel section 1110, the second channel section 1120 and the first indoor air outlet 1400 in sequence, and in this process, the fresh air flow is normally filtered by the filter screen 1200, and the air quality of the fresh air is improved.

[0063] See also Figure 3 When the filter system 1000 needs to clean the filter 1200, the filter 1200 can be switched to the purge position, and the filter air duct can be switched to the air outlet state. At this time, the filter system 1000 can not only extract the turbid gas in the indoor environment, but also use these gases to purge and disturb the filter 1200 to achieve the purpose of cleaning the filter 1200. It can be understood that at this time, the airflow in the filter system 1000 flows toward the outdoor environment along the direction of the first indoor air outlet 1400, the second channel section 1120, the first channel section 1110 to the outdoor air outlet 1300. Therefore, the dust separated from the filter 1200 by the airflow disturbance can be discharged to the outdoor environment together with the airflow, and will not remain indoors, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] Among them, the above-mentioned filter air duct can be composed of only the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120. However, for the filter 1200, it does not need to be cleaned all the time. The cleaning frequency of the filter 1200 is not high. In some cases, it is only necessary to extract the turbid gas in the room out of the indoor environment, and there is no need to purge the filter 1200. At the same time, in some cases, the outdoor air flow is relatively clean and does not need to be filtered using the filter 1200. If the filter air duct is composed of only the first channel section 1110 and the second channel section 1120, the filter 1200 will always be on the flow path of the air flow, which will increase the wind resistance in the filter air duct, affect the air volume of the filter air duct, and cause inconvenience to the user.

[0065] Therefore, in this embodiment, if Figure 2 The filter air duct includes a third channel section 1130, one end of which is connected to the end of the first channel section 1110 away from the outdoor air outlet 1300; and the filter system 1000 includes a second indoor air outlet 1500, which is connected to the other end of the third channel section 1130. At the same time, the filter system 1000 also includes a second indoor air outlet 1500, which is connected to the other end of the third channel section 1130; the filter system 1000 also includes a valve assembly for controlling the opening and closing of the first indoor air outlet 1400, and controlling the opening and closing of the second indoor air outlet 1500. Here, the second indoor air outlet 1500 refers to an air outlet that is indirectly or directly connected to the indoor environment.

[0066] As described above, when the outdoor airflow is relatively clean and does not need to be filtered by the filter 1200, the filter system 1000 can switch the air intake state and open the second indoor air outlet 1500 and close the first indoor air outlet 1400 through the valve assembly. The filter 1200 is in the purge position to avoid airflow. At this time, the outdoor airflow will not pass through the filter 1200. The outdoor airflow will pass through the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first channel section 1110, and the second channel section 1120 in sequence and be discharged at the second indoor air outlet 1500.

[0067] At the same time, when it is only necessary to extract the turbid gas in the room, and it is not necessary to purge the filter 1200. Figure 4 , the filtration system can be switched to the air outlet state, and the second indoor air outlet 1500 is opened and the first indoor air outlet 1400 is closed through the valve assembly. The filter 1200 is in the purge position to avoid airflow. At this time, the turbid gas in the room will be directly discharged from the outdoor air outlet 1300 and will not pass through the filter 1200, avoiding useless filtering by the filter 1200 and reducing the wind resistance in the filter air duct.

[0068] More specifically, in order to realize the switching of the filtration system between the air inlet state and the air outlet state, in this embodiment, the filtration air duct includes:

[0069] The fan housing 1140 has a first port 1141 and a second port 1142. The first port 1141 is connected to an end of the first channel section 1110 away from the outdoor air outlet 1300, and the second port 1142 is respectively connected to an end of the second channel section 1120 away from the first indoor air outlet 1400 and an end of the third channel section 1130 away from the second indoor air outlet 1500;

[0070] The impeller 1150 is rotatably disposed in the fan housing 1140. The impeller 1150 is configured to: when rotating along a first rotation direction, the airflow flows from the first port 1141 to the second port 1142; when rotating along a second rotation direction, the airflow flows from the second port 1142 to the first port 1141. The first rotation direction and the second rotation direction are opposite.

[0071] The impeller 1150 can adjust the direction of the airflow by rotating forward and reversely, so that the airflow flows forward from the first port 1141 to the second port 1142, thereby putting the filter system in an air intake state, or flows reversely from the second port 1142 to the first port 1141, thereby putting the filter system in an air outlet state. It is understandable that the impeller 1150 should be an impeller structure that can drive the airflow to flow in opposite directions by rotating forward and reversely, such as an axial flow impeller.

[0072] It is worth mentioning that, in the present embodiment, the filtration system 1000 also includes a third indoor air outlet 1600, which is connected to one end of the first channel section 1110 away from the second channel section 1120. At the same time, the valve assembly in the filtration system 1000 is also used to control the opening and closing of the third indoor air outlet 1600, as well as the opening and closing of the outdoor air outlet 1300, in the hope that the filtration system 1000 can switch between more mode states.

[0073] Further, in the present embodiment, the valve assembly specifically includes a first valve component 1710, which is disposed at the first indoor air outlet 1400 and is used to control the opening and closing of the first indoor air outlet 1400. The valve assembly also includes a second valve component 1720, which is disposed at the second indoor air outlet 1500 and is used to control the opening and closing of the second indoor air outlet 1500. The valve assembly also includes a third valve component 1730, which is disposed at the outdoor air outlet 1300 and is used to control the opening and closing of the outdoor air outlet 1300. The valve assembly also includes a fourth valve component 1740, which is disposed at the third indoor air outlet 1600 and is used to control the opening and closing of the third indoor air outlet 1600. In the prior art, some air valve structures have been disclosed for realizing the opening and closing of air outlets, so the present embodiment will not describe the specific structures of the valve components.

[0074] Based on the above structure, the filtration system 1000 provided in this embodiment can switch between multiple modes. Each mode of the filtration system 1000 will be described in detail below.

[0075] The filtration system 1000 has an external circulation mode. Figure 2 , the fourth valve component 1740 closes the third indoor air outlet 1600, and the third valve component 1730 opens the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first valve component 1710 opens the first indoor air outlet 1400 and / or the second valve component 1720 opens the second indoor air outlet 1500, and the impeller 1150 rotates along the first rotation direction. At this time, the filter 1200 is in the working position. The fresh air in the outdoor environment enters the filter air duct through the outdoor air outlet 1300, and is filtered by the filter 1200 and discharged from the first indoor air outlet 1400 and / or the second indoor air outlet 1500. In this mode, the filter air duct can introduce fresh air, which is suitable for the situation where the carbon dioxide concentration in the indoor environment is too high.

[0076] The filter system 1000 has a purge mode. Figure 3 , the fourth valve component 1740 closes the third indoor air outlet 1600, and the third valve component 1730 opens the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first valve component 1710 opens the first indoor air outlet 1400, the second valve component 1720 closes the second indoor air outlet 1500, and the impeller 1150 rotates along the second rotation direction. At this time, the filter 1200 is in the purge position. The turbid air in the indoor environment enters the filter air duct through the first indoor air outlet 1400, and after the filter 1200 is purged and cleaned, it is discharged to the outdoor environment at the outdoor air outlet 1300. This mode can purge and clean the filter 1200.

[0077] The filter system 1000 has a first exhaust mode. Figure 4 , Figure 4 The dotted arrows are used to represent the flow path of the airflow. At this time, the fourth valve component 1740 closes the third indoor air outlet 1600, and the third valve component 1730 opens the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first valve component 1710 closes the first indoor air outlet 1400, the second valve component 1720 opens the second indoor air outlet 1500, and the impeller 1150 rotates along the second rotation direction. At this time, the filter 1200 is in the purge position. The turbid air in the indoor environment enters the filter air duct through the second indoor air outlet 1500, and is directly discharged from the outdoor air outlet 1300 to the outdoor environment without passing through the filter 1200. This mode can purify the indoor environment.

[0078] The filtration system 1000 has an internal circulation mode. Figure 5 , Figure 5The dotted arrows are used to represent the flow path of the airflow. At this time, the fourth valve component 1740 opens the third indoor air outlet 1600, and the third valve component 1730 closes the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first valve component 1710 opens the first indoor air outlet 1400 and / or the second valve component 1720 opens the second indoor air outlet 1500, and the impeller 1150 rotates along the first rotation direction. At this time, the filter 1200 is in the working position, and the turbid air in the indoor environment enters the filter air duct through the third indoor air outlet 1600, and is filtered by the filter 1200 and discharged from the first indoor air outlet 1400 and / or the second indoor air outlet 1500. This mode can purify the indoor environment.

[0079] The filtration system 1000 has an internal and external dual circulation mode. Figure 6 , Figure 6 The dotted arrows are used to represent the flow path of the airflow. At this time, the fourth valve component 1740 opens the third indoor air outlet 1600, and the third valve component 1730 opens the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first valve component 1710 opens the first indoor air outlet 1400 and / or the second valve component 1720 opens the second indoor air outlet 1500, and the impeller 1150 rotates along the first rotation direction. At this time, the filter 1200 is in the working position, and the outdoor fresh air enters the filter air duct through the outdoor air outlet 1300. At the same time, the turbid air in the indoor environment enters the filter air duct through the third indoor air outlet 1600. The mixed outdoor fresh air and indoor turbid air are filtered by the filter 1200 and discharged at the first indoor air outlet 1400 and / or the second indoor air outlet 1500. This mode can efficiently purify the indoor environment.

[0080] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the filter 1200 has a first filter body and a second filter body arranged side by side. The first filter body is mainly an HPEA filter that can reduce the PM2.5 value in the airflow, and the second filter body is an activated carbon filter that has a deodorizing function. When the filter 1200 is in the working position, the first filter body is facing the outdoor air outlet 1300 to filter the fresh air in a targeted manner and reduce the PM2.5 value in the fresh air. The second filter body is facing the third indoor air outlet 1600 to deodorize the turbid indoor gas in a targeted manner.

[0081] Furthermore, due to the size limitation of the second indoor air outlet 1500, the volume of the indoor turbid gas delivered by the filtration system 1000 is limited when in the first exhaust mode. Therefore, in this embodiment, the filtration system 1000 also has a second exhaust mode for exhausting more air to the outdoor environment. Figure 7, the fourth valve component 1740 closes the third indoor air outlet 1600, the third valve component 1730 opens the outdoor air outlet 1300, the first valve component 1710 opens the first indoor air outlet 1400, the second valve component 1720 opens the second indoor air outlet 1500, and the impeller 1150 rotates along the second rotation direction. At this time, the filter screen 1200 is in the purge position, and the turbid air in the indoor environment enters the filter air duct through the first indoor air outlet 1400 and the second indoor air outlet 1500, and is finally discharged from the outdoor air outlet 1300 to the outdoor environment.

[0082] It is worth mentioning that in order to further increase the airflow volume of the filtration system 1000 in the second exhaust mode through the second channel section 1120, in this embodiment, the filter screen 1200 in the purge position can be switched between an unfolded state and a folded state; Figure 7 , the filter screen 1200 separates the two ends of the second channel section 1120; when in the folded state, as Figure 8 A gap 1121 is formed between the filter screen 1200 and the inner wall of the second channel section 1120 and is connected to both ends of the second channel section 1120 respectively.

[0083] When a gap 1121 is formed between the filter 1200 and the inner wall of the second channel section 1120, the airflow tends to pass through the second channel section 1120 through the gap 1121 rather than the filter 1200. The filter 1200 has a lower impact on the wind resistance of the second channel section 1120, thereby effectively increasing the airflow mass passing through the second channel section 1120 when the filter system 1000 is in the second exhaust mode, thereby improving the airflow mass discharged in the exhaust mode.

[0084] Regarding the specific structure of the filter 1200 that can switch between the folded state and the unfolded state. More specifically, in the present embodiment, the filter 1200 includes a first part 1210 and a second part 1220 that are rotatably connected. When the filter 1200 switches from the unfolded state to the folded state, the second part 1220 rotates relative to the first part 1210 to separate from the inner wall of the second channel section 1120, thereby forming a gap 1121. Of course, the implementer can also set the first part 1210 and the second part 1220 to be able to slide relative to each other, so that the filter 1200 can switch between the folded state and the unfolded state. It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, the first part 1210 and the second part 1220 respectively constitute the first filter body and the second filter body described in the foregoing text.
