[0055] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same or similar components have the same or similar reference numbers throughout the drawings and a detailed description of the same components will not be repeated. The embodiments described below by way of example are merely illustrative for explaining the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0056] The air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Reference Figures 1-10 The air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present application includes a casing 10, an air treatment device 20, an air guide mechanism 60, and a drive assembly 70.

[0058] The first air outlet 105 can be formed on the front side of the casing 10. The air treatment device 20 is disposed in the casing 10, and has an air inlet 411 and a first air outlet 2211. The air entering the air treatment device 20 from the air inlet 411 flows out of the air treatment device 20 through the first air outlet 2211.

[0059] The air guide mechanism 60 is movably arranged in the casing 10 to open and close the first air outlet 2211. The opening and closing of the first air outlet 2211 can be conveniently achieved by moving the air guide mechanism 60. For example, the air guide mechanism 60 can be movably arranged in the casing 10 along the up-down direction, and the opening and closing of the first air outlet 2211 can be achieved by moving the air guide mechanism 60 up and down. The driving assembly 70 is configured to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move up and down, and the automatic opening and closing of the first air outlet 2211 can be conveniently achieved by driving the air guide mechanism 60 to move by the driving assembly 70.

[0060] When the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, the first air outlet 2211 is in communication with the first air outlet 105, and the air entering the air treatment device 20 from the air inlet 411 flows out of the air treatment device 20 through the first air outlet 2211 and is blown out to the indoor through the first air outlet 105, thereby improving and adjusting the indoor environmental quality. When the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211, the first air outlet 2211 is cut off from the first air outlet 105, and the first air outlet 105 no longer blows air. Thus, the air blowing control of the first air outlet 105 can be conveniently achieved.

[0061] The air treatment device 20 can include an air treatment unit 4. When the air treatment device 20 is working, the air entering the air treatment device 20 from the air inlet 411 can be treated by the air treatment unit 4, and the air after passing through the air treatment device 20 flows out of the air treatment device 20 through the first air outlet 2211 of the air treatment device 20. Alternatively, when the air treatment device 20 is working, the air flow entering the air treatment unit 4 through the air inlet 411 can be humidified, purified, etc. by the air treatment unit 4. If the air inlet 411 is in communication with the indoor air, the indoor air is treated by the air treatment unit 4 and then flows into the indoor, thereby improving the indoor air quality. If the air inlet 411 is in communication with the outdoor air, the outdoor air introduced is treated by the air treatment unit 4 and then flows into the indoor, thereby improving the indoor air quality while introducing fresh air.

[0062] Referring to Figures 12-15The air guiding mechanism 60 may include an air guiding mechanism body 6a and a decorative cover 6c, with the decorative cover 6c covering the top of the air guiding mechanism body 6a. By setting the air guiding mechanism 60 as an air guiding mechanism body 6a and a decorative cover 6c, the structural strength of the air guiding mechanism 60 can be improved, and the appearance of the air guiding mechanism 60 can be made more aesthetically pleasing by designing the decorative cover 6c. Furthermore, the air guiding mechanism body 6a may include a first air guiding component 61 and a second air guiding component 62 connected in a horizontal direction. For example, the air guiding mechanism body 6a may include a first air guiding component 61 and a second air guiding component 62 connected in a front-back direction. The first air guiding component 61 and the second air guiding component 62 are both independently molded parts. The first air guiding component 61 and the second air guiding component 62 are independently molded and then assembled, which reduces the processing and molding difficulty of the air guiding mechanism body 6a. For example, when using a mold for molding, the complexity of the mold can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of the mold, while ensuring the processing and molding quality of the air guiding mechanism body 6a.

[0063] Among them, the decorative cover 6c, the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 can serve as the appearance of the air guide mechanism 60. The outer surfaces of the decorative cover 6c, the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 can be processed, such as electroplating or painting, to make the appearance of the air guide mechanism 60 more diverse and aesthetically pleasing.

[0064] The air conditioner of the present invention may include an air heat exchange device 80, and an air handling device 20 may be located on one side of the air heat exchange device 80, for example, the air handling device 20 may be located on the upper or lower side of the air heat exchange device 80. The air heat exchange device 80 may exchange heat with the air, thereby regulating the indoor temperature.

[0065] Optionally, the air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner, such as a split floor-standing air conditioner or a split wall-mounted air conditioner; the air conditioner can also be an integrated air conditioner. When the air conditioner is a split-type air conditioner, the air conditioner includes an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit, wherein the indoor unit 100 includes the aforementioned air handling unit 20 and air heat exchange unit 80.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner, through the provided air handling device 20, can improve indoor air quality. Furthermore, through the movable air guide mechanism 60 provided within the casing 10, the movement of the air guide mechanism 60 can achieve both connection and disconnection between the first air outlet 2211 and the first air outlet 105, thereby conveniently realizing the control of indoor air quality improvement and meeting higher user demands. Moreover, by configuring the air guide mechanism body 6a of the air guide mechanism 60 as comprising two independently formed parts, the processing and forming difficulty of the air guide mechanism body 6a can be reduced.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1-20 The housing 10 has an air outlet cavity 104 located approximately in the middle of the housing 10. A first air outlet 105 is formed on the front side wall of the air outlet cavity 104. When the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, the first air outlet 2211 can communicate with the first air outlet 105 through the air outlet cavity 104. When the air handling unit 20 is working, the air entering the air handling unit 20 from the air inlet 411 flows out of the air handling unit 20 from the first air outlet 2211 and flows into the air outlet cavity 104 in the housing 10, and then is blown out into the room through the first air outlet 105.

[0068] When the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, at least a portion of the decorative cover 6c and the air guide mechanism body 6a are located within the air outlet cavity 104. For example, either the decorative cover 6c and a portion of the air guide mechanism body 6a are located within the air outlet cavity 104, or the decorative cover 6c and the air guide mechanism body 6a are located within the air outlet cavity 104. The portion of the air guide mechanism body 6a located within the air outlet cavity 104 forms an airflow channel that extends through the air guide mechanism body 6a in a front-to-back direction. In this way, part of the airflow entering the air outlet cavity 104 from the first air outlet 2211 of the air handling device 20 can flow to the first air outlet 105 through the space between the air guide mechanism 60 and the inner wall of the air outlet cavity 104, and another part can flow to the first air outlet 105 through the airflow channel on the air guide mechanism 60. This can reduce the resistance of the airflow flowing into the air outlet cavity 104 to the first air outlet 105, making the airflow smoother and the overall airflow from the first air outlet 105 more uniform.

[0069] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 19 and Figure 20The first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 can be connected in the front-rear direction; for example, the first air guide 61 can be connected to the front side of the second air guide 62. The airflow channel includes a first airflow channel 610 formed in the first air guide 61 and a second airflow channel 620 formed in the second air guide 62. Both the front and rear sides of the first airflow channel 610 and the second airflow channel 620 are open. When the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 are connected in the front-rear direction, the rear side of the first airflow channel 610 is connected to and connected to the front side of the second airflow channel 620. Thus, when the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 are connected and assembled into the air guide mechanism body 6a, the first airflow channel 610 in the first air guide 61 and the second airflow channel 620 in the second air guide 62 are connected and together constitute the above-mentioned total airflow channel. By connecting the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 in the front-to-back direction, the connection between the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 can be made convenient, and the connection between the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 has little impact on the airflow.

[0070] In addition, since the air guide mechanism body 6a has a cavity structure such as an airflow channel, by setting the air guide mechanism body 6a to include a first air guide 61 and a second air guide 62 that are formed independently, the processing and forming difficulty of the air guide mechanism body 6a can be reduced. For example, when the air guide mechanism 60 is set to include a first air guide 61 and a second air guide 62 that are connected in the front-back direction, the cavity structure in the air guide mechanism body 6a is divided into two parts (i.e., the first airflow channel 610 and the second airflow channel 620) and formed in the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 respectively, the process difficulty of forming the cavity structure in the air guide mechanism body 6a can be reduced.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 12-15 as well as Figure 19 , Figure 20 The air guide mechanism body 6a can be detachably connected to the decorative cover 6c, and part of the drive component 70 is disposed on the air guide mechanism body 6a to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move up and down. By detachably connecting the air guide mechanism body 6a and the decorative cover 6c, the air guide mechanism body 6a or the decorative cover 6c can be easily replaced. Furthermore, placing part of the drive component 70 on the air guide mechanism body 6a makes the air guide mechanism 60 look more aesthetically pleasing.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 12-15 as well as Figure 19 , Figure 20The first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 can be detachably connected. A portion of the drive assembly 70 is disposed on one of the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move up and down. For example, a portion of the drive assembly 70 can be disposed on the first air guide 61, or a portion of the drive assembly 70 can be disposed on the second air guide 62, both of which can drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move up and down. By detachably connecting the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62, the replacement of the first air guide 61 or the second air guide 62 is facilitated. For example, if the portion of the first air guide 61 or the second air guide 62 with the drive assembly 70 is damaged or requires maintenance, the portion of the first air guide 61 or the second air guide 62 with the drive assembly 70 can be removed for replacement or maintenance, without having to remove the entire air guide mechanism 60.

[0073] Optionally, refer to Figure 19 A third latch 6211 is formed on one of the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62, and a third locking hole 6113 is formed on the other of the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 to engage with the third latch 6211. For example, when the third latch 6211 is formed on the first air guide 61, the third locking hole 6113 is formed on the second air guide 62; when the third locking hole 6113 is formed on the first air guide 61, the third latch 6211 is formed on the second air guide 62. When assembling the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62, the third latch 6211 is engaged with the third locking hole 6113, which facilitates the connection and assembly of the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62, and also facilitates the disassembly of the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 19 The air guiding mechanism 60 also includes a liner 6b, which is disposed between the air guiding mechanism body 6a and the decorative cover 6c. The liner 6b enhances the overall structural strength of the air guiding mechanism 60, making it more stable during movement and extending its service life.

[0075] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 19The liner 6b is detachably connected to the air guide mechanism body 6a, and the decorative cover 6c is connected to the liner 6b via an adhesive layer, which can be a double-sided adhesive layer. The adhesive layer allows for easy connection between the decorative cover 6c and the liner 6b, making them a single unit. The detachable connection between the liner 6b and the air guide mechanism body 6a facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the decorative cover 6c from the air guide mechanism body 6a.

[0076] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 19 At least the central portion of the liner 6b protrudes upward to form a convex bump 61b. For example, the central portion of the liner 6b can protrude upward to form the convex bump 61b, or both the central portion and the portion near the outer periphery of the liner 6b can protrude upward to form the convex bump 61b. An adhesive layer is disposed on the convex bump 61b. By forming the convex bump 61b on the liner 6b, the placement of the adhesive layer is facilitated, thereby facilitating the bonding connection between the liner 6b and the decorative cover 6c. In addition, by forming the convex bump 61b on the liner 6b, the structural strength of the liner 6b can be improved, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength of the air guiding mechanism 60.

[0077] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 19 The liner 6b has a limiting hole 63b and a first fixing hole 62b. The air guide mechanism body 6a has a second fixing hole 6112 corresponding to the first fixing hole 62b and a limiting protrusion 6111 that cooperates with the limiting hole 63b. A first fastener passes through the first fixing hole 62b and the second fixing hole 6112. When connecting the liner 6b to the air guide mechanism body 6a, the first fixing hole 62b on the liner 6b and the second fixing hole 6112 on the air guide mechanism body 6a can be aligned, and the limiting protrusion 6111 on the air guide mechanism body 6a can be inserted into the limiting hole 63b on the liner 6b. This allows for initial positioning of the assembly between the liner 6b and the air guide mechanism body 6a. Then, by using fasteners and screws passing through the first fixing hole 62b and the second fixing hole 6112, the liner 6b and the air guide mechanism body 6a can be reliably connected.

[0078] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 12-20The first air guide 61 includes a first air guide portion 611 and a first moving portion 612. The first moving portion 612 can be connected below the first air guide portion 611. The first air guide 61 can be a one-piece molded part. The second air guide 62 includes a second air guide portion 621 and a second moving portion 622. The second moving portion 622 is connected below the second air guide portion 621. The second air guide 62 is a one-piece molded part. When the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 are connected, the first air guide portion 611 and the second air guide portion 621 are connected, and the first moving portion 612 and the second moving portion 622 are connected.

[0079] The connecting line between the first air guide 611 and the second air guide 621 is arranged around the first air guide 611, which facilitates assembly and allows for a longer connecting line length, improving the connection reliability of the first air guide 611 and the second air guide 621. The connecting line between the first moving part 612 and the second moving part 622 extends vertically, facilitating the connection and assembly of the first moving part 612 and the second moving part 622. A portion of the drive assembly 70 can be located on the second moving part 622 to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move vertically. The first air guide 61 can be located in front of the second air guide 62. By arranging a portion of the drive assembly 70 on the second moving part 622 to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move vertically, the drive assembly 70 can be avoided from being visible, improving the overall aesthetics and reducing the impact of external dust on the portion of the drive assembly 70 located on the second moving part 622.

[0080] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 19 and Figure 20 The length of the connecting line between the first air guide 611 and the second air guide 621 can be greater than half the circumference of the first air guide 611. This allows for a longer connecting line length between the first air guide 611 and the second air guide 621, resulting in a higher connection strength and more reliable connection between them.

[0081] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, refer to Figures 13-20The drive assembly 70 includes a drive part 72 and a drive mechanism 71. The drive part 72 can be disposed on the side of the second moving part 622 away from the first moving part 612. The drive mechanism 71 is transmissively coupled to the drive part 72 to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move up and down, thereby facilitating the drive assembly 70 to drive the air guide mechanism 60 to move up and down. The first moving part 612 has a third fixing hole 6121, the second moving part 622 has a fourth fixing hole 6221, and the drive part 72 has a fifth fixing hole 722. A second fastener passes through the fifth fixing hole 722, the fourth fixing hole 6221, and the third fixing hole 6121. When assembling the first air guide 61, the second air guide 62, and the drive unit 72, fasteners are inserted through the fifth fixing hole 722 on the drive unit 72, the fourth fixing hole 6221 on the second moving part 622, and the third fixing hole 6121 on the first moving part 612. This allows the drive unit 72 to be installed onto the second moving part 622, and also connects the first moving part 612 to the second moving part 622, reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency.

[0082] The following reference Figures 1-25 An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0083] In this embodiment, the air conditioner is a split-type floor-standing air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit 100 includes a casing 10, an air handling unit 20, an air heat exchanger 80, an air guide mechanism 60, and a drive assembly 70 for driving the air guide mechanism 60 to move.

[0084] The housing 10 defines a first mounting cavity and a second mounting cavity that are separated vertically, with the first mounting cavity located above the second mounting cavity. The housing 10 also defines an air outlet cavity 104, located between the first and second mounting cavities. The air outlet cavity 104 is approximately located at the center of the height of the housing 10, separated from the first mounting cavity but connected to the second mounting cavity. An air heat exchanger 80 is housed in the first mounting cavity, and an air handling unit 20 is housed in the second mounting cavity. The housing 10 includes a front panel 11, an air outlet frame component 12, a rear housing component 13, a top cover 14, and a chassis 15. The air outlet frame component 12 and the rear housing component 13 are connected front and rear to each other. The front panel 11 is connected to the front side of the air outlet frame component 12. The rear housing component 13 has a heat exchange air inlet 101 corresponding to the first mounting cavity, and the heat exchange air inlet 101 communicates with the interior.

[0085] The air handling unit 20 has a defined air outlet duct and three air inlets 411, all of which are connected to the air outlet duct within the air handling unit 20. One air inlet 411 is connected to outdoor air, and the other two air inlets 411 are connected to indoor air. The air inlet 411 connected to outdoor air extends out of the housing 10 via the rear housing component 13 and is connected to outdoor air. The rear housing component 13 has two indoor air inlets 103 corresponding to the other two air inlets 411 (which are connected to indoor air).

[0086] The front panel 11 includes an upper panel 111 and a lower panel 112 spaced apart vertically. A first air outlet 105 is defined between the upper panel 111 and the lower panel 112. The first air outlet 105 is formed on the front sidewall of the air outlet cavity 104, which can be considered as the front sidewall of the air outlet cavity 104 being open to form the first air outlet 105. The first air outlet 105 is located approximately in the middle of the height direction of the housing 10, and is opposite to and communicates with the air outlet cavity 104. Second air outlets 106 are formed on the left and right sides of the air outlet frame component 12, respectively. A guide plate 16 for opening and closing the second air outlet 106 is provided at each of the second air outlets 106. The top cover 14 is connected to the top of the rear housing component 13 and the air outlet frame component 12, and the chassis 15 is connected to the bottom of the rear housing component 13 and the air outlet frame component 12.

[0087] The air heat exchanger 80 includes a heat exchanger component 82 and a second fan component 81. The heat exchanger component 82 is located behind the second fan component 81. The second fan component 81 may include two cross-flow impellers spaced apart from each other, each corresponding to a heat exchange outlet 102. When the air heat exchanger 80 is in operation, the second fan component 81 drives indoor air into the first mounting cavity from the heat exchange inlet 101. After exchanging heat with the heat exchanger component 82, the air is blown out of the room from the heat exchange outlet 102, thereby regulating the indoor ambient temperature and achieving cooling / heating. Each heat exchange outlet 102 is provided with a door 17 extending vertically. Each door 17 can extend downwards to the bottom of the adjacent casing 10. The door 17 is movably mounted on the air outlet frame component 12 along the circumference of the casing 10. By moving the door 17, the corresponding heat exchange outlet 102 can be opened and closed.

[0088] The air handling unit 20 includes an air handling unit 4, an air outlet housing 2, an air duct 5, and a light-emitting component 3. The air duct 5 is located on the top of the air outlet housing 2. The air handling unit 4 includes a first fan component 41, a humidifying component 42, and a purifying component 43. The first fan component 41 has the aforementioned three air inlets 411. The purifying component 43 is located on the air outlet side of the first fan component 41 and is positioned above the first fan component 41. The humidifying component 42 is located inside the air outlet housing 2. The first fan component 41, the purifying component 43, and the air outlet housing 2 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top. An air outlet cavity 201 is defined between the humidifying component 42 and the inner wall of the air outlet housing 2, wherein both the first air outlet 2211 and the second air outlet 211 are connected to the air outlet cavity 201. The humidifying membrane of the humidifying component 42 is located inside the air outlet chamber 201. The humidifying membrane of the humidifying component 42 is adjacent to and opposite to the two second air outlets 211. The purification chamber of the purification component 43 is connected to the air outlet chamber 201. By arranging the first fan component 41, the purification component 43, and the air outlet box 2 in a bottom-up direction, the air handling device 20 has a reasonable and compact structural layout. Furthermore, the airflow entering the first fan component 41 from the air inlet 411 flows upward through the purification component 43 for purification before flowing into the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2, resulting in a shorter airflow path and smoother flow.

[0089] The first fan component 41 includes a volute and a centrifugal impeller. The volute is connected to the air inlet 411, and the centrifugal impeller is located inside the volute. The volute is connected to the purification chamber of the purification component 43, and the purification chamber is connected to the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2. The air duct 5 is located at the top of the air outlet box 2 and inside the housing 10. The top of the air outlet box 2, the air duct 5, and the housing 10 together define the air outlet cavity 104.

[0090] The purification component 43 includes multiple layers of purification elements 431 stacked along the airflow direction. For example, the multiple layers of purification elements 431 can be arranged vertically, and each layer of purification element 431 can be pulled out and disposed within the purification chamber. Therefore, by including multiple layers of purification elements 431 stacked along the airflow direction in the purification component 43, the purification effect can be improved, and the pull-out disposal of each layer of purification element 431 facilitates replacement. For example, if each layer of purification element 431 can be pulled out and disposed within the purification chamber, the lower panel 112 can be opened to access the front space of the air handling unit 20, allowing for easy replacement of the purification element 431 by pulling it out.

[0091] The air outlet housing 2 includes a main body 21, a fixing bracket 23, and an air outlet component 22. The top of the main body 21 may have an installation opening, and the air outlet component 22 may be located at the installation opening. The air outlet component 22 may have a first air outlet 2211 communicating with the air outlet cavity 201. The fixing bracket 23 is located on the air outlet component 22 and is situated on the outer periphery of the first air outlet 2211. The fixing bracket 23 is annular and can surround the air outlet component 22. The fixing bracket 23 is connected to the main body 21, facilitating the connection between the air outlet component 22 and the main body 21. The air outlet component 22 and the humidifying component 42 of the air outlet housing 2 are arranged in the front-rear direction of the main body 21; for example, the humidifying component 42 is located at the front of the main body 21, and the air outlet component 22 is located at the rear of the main body 21.

[0092] The air outlet component 22 may include an air outlet portion 221 and a mounting portion 223. The air outlet portion 221 may be located at the mounting port, and a first air outlet 2211 may be formed on the air outlet portion 221. The air outlet portion 221 may include an air outlet grille 222 located at the first air outlet 2211. The mounting portion 223 may be connected to the lower part of the air outlet portion 221, for example, the mounting portion 223 may be connected to the bottom of the air outlet grille 222. The mounting portion 223 may define a rear-open receiving space 2231, and a guide member 224 is provided in the receiving space 2231. The guide member 224 and the air outlet component 22 may be detachably connected, for example, the guide member 224 may be fixed to the mounting portion 223 by fasteners. The guide member 224 defines a rear-open guide cavity 2241, and guide grooves 2242 extending in the vertical direction are formed on the left and right side walls of the guide cavity 2241 and adjacent to the rear-open position of the guide cavity 2241. When the air outlet 22 is installed onto the housing body 21, the fixing bracket 23 is connected and sleeved on the outer periphery of the air outlet 221, and the fixing bracket 23 is connected to the upper end of the housing body 21. The air outlet 22 is located inside the housing body 21, and the air outlet 22, the housing body 21, and the humidifying component 42 together define the aforementioned air outlet cavity 201. Two second air outlets 211 can be formed on the left and right side walls of the housing body 21. Both second air outlets 211 are connected to the air outlet cavity 201, and the two second air outlets 211 are opposite to and connected to the second air outlet 106.

[0093] The inner cavity of the volute, the purification chamber of the purification component 43, and the air outlet chamber 201 in the air outlet box 2 all constitute part of the air duct in the air handling device 20.

[0094] The air guide mechanism 60 is movably disposed within the housing 10 in the vertical direction to open and close the first air outlet 2211. Specifically, when the air guide mechanism 60 moves upward to the first set position, the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, at which time a portion of the air guide mechanism 60 can be accommodated within the air outlet cavity 104; when the air guide mechanism 60 moves downward to the second set position, the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211.

[0095] The air guiding mechanism 60 includes: an air guiding mechanism body 6a, a liner 6b, and a decorative cover 6c. The liner 6b is disposed between the air guiding mechanism body 6a and the decorative cover 6c. Specifically, the liner 6b is disposed on top of the air guiding mechanism body 6a, and the decorative cover 6c covers the upper surface of the liner 6b. The liner 6b is detachably connected to the air guiding mechanism body 6a, and the decorative cover 6c is connected to the liner 6b by an adhesive layer. The middle portion and the portion adjacent to the outer periphery of the liner 6b both protrude upwards to form a convex 61b, and the adhesive layer is disposed on the convex 61b to facilitate the connection between the liner 6b and the decorative cover 6c.

[0096] The main body 6a of the air guiding mechanism includes a first air guiding component 61 and a second air guiding component 62 that are detachably connected in the front-rear direction, wherein the first air guiding component 61 is connected to the front side of the second air guiding component 62. The first air guiding component 61 includes a first air guiding portion 611 and a first moving portion 612 connected below the first air guiding portion 611, and the first air guiding component 61 is integrally formed; the second air guiding component 62 includes a second air guiding portion 621 and a second moving portion 622 connected below the second air guiding portion 621, and the second air guiding component 62 is integrally formed. The connecting line between the first air guiding portion 611 and the second air guiding portion 621 is arranged around the first air guiding portion 611, and the length of the connecting line between the first air guiding portion 611 and the second air guiding portion 621 is greater than half the circumference of the first air guiding portion 611. The connecting line between the first air guiding portion 611 and the second air guiding portion 621 extends downward in the front-to-back direction, and the connecting line between the first moving portion 612 and the second moving portion 622 extends in the vertical direction.

[0097] The liner 6b has two limiting holes 63b and four first fixing holes 62b, which are located near the rear side of the liner 6b. The first fixing holes 62b are located near the four corners of the liner 6b. Both the limiting holes 63b and the first fixing holes 62b are formed on the portion of the liner 6b where the protrusion 61b is not formed. The air guide mechanism body 6a has two second fixing holes 6112 corresponding to the first fixing holes 62b and four limiting protrusions 6111 that cooperate with the limiting holes 63b. The limiting protrusions 6111 are formed on the first air guide portion 611. Two of the limiting protrusions 6111 are located near the rear side of the first air guide portion 6111 and are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The other two limiting protrusions 6111 are located near the front side of the first air guide portion 6111 and are spaced apart in the left-right direction. There are four second fixing holes 6112, two of which are formed on the first air guide 611 and adjacent to the front corner of the first air guide 611, and the other two are formed on the second air guide 621 and adjacent to the rear corner of the second air guide 621.

[0098] When connecting the liner 6b to the air guide mechanism body 6a, the first fixing hole 62b on the liner 6b and the second fixing hole 6112 on the air guide mechanism body 6a can be aligned. At the same time, the limiting protrusion 6111 on the air guide mechanism body 6a can be inserted into the limiting hole 63b on the liner 6b. This allows for the initial positioning of the assembly between the liner 6b and the air guide mechanism body 6a. Then, by using a first fastener, such as a screw, to pass through the first fixing hole 62b and the second fixing hole 6112, the liner 6b and the air guide mechanism body 6a can be reliably connected.

[0099] A first airflow channel 610 is formed inside the first airflow guide 611, and both ends of the first airflow channel 610 are open. A second airflow channel 620 is formed inside the second airflow guide 621, and both ends of the second airflow channel 620 are open. Four third locking holes 6113 are formed on the first airflow guide 611 adjacent to the four corners of the first airflow guide 611, and four third locking buckles 6211 are formed on the second airflow guide 621 adjacent to the four corners of the second airflow guide 621.

[0100] When the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, the decorative cover 6c, the first air guide part 611, the second air guide part 621, and a portion of the first moving part 612 and a portion of the second moving part 622 are located within the air outlet cavity 104. The first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 are connected in the front-rear direction, and the rear side of the first airflow channel 610 is connected and connected to the front side of the second airflow channel 620. Thus, when the first air guide 61 and the second air guide 62 are connected and assembled to form the air guide mechanism body 6a, the first airflow channel 610 in the first air guide 61 and the second airflow channel 620 in the second air guide 62 are connected and together form a total airflow channel, which runs through the air guide mechanism body 6a in the front-rear direction. In this way, part of the airflow entering the air outlet cavity 104 from the first air outlet 2211 of the air handling device 20 can flow to the first air outlet 105 through the space between the air guide mechanism 60 and the inner wall of the air outlet cavity 104, and another part can flow to the first air outlet 105 through the airflow channel on the air guide mechanism 60 (flowing sequentially through the second airflow channel 620 and the first airflow channel 610). This can reduce the resistance of the airflow flowing into the air outlet cavity 104 to the first air outlet 105, making the airflow smoother and the overall airflow from the first air outlet 105 more uniform.

[0101] The drive assembly 70 includes a drive mechanism 71 and a drive unit 72. The drive unit 72 includes a rack 721 and is located on the side of the second moving part 622 away from the first moving part 612. Guide ribs 723 extending vertically are provided on the left and right sides of the drive unit 72. The first moving part 612 has two third fixing holes 6121 spaced vertically, the second moving part 622 has two fourth fixing holes 6221 spaced vertically, and the drive unit 72 has two fifth fixing holes 722 spaced vertically. A second fastener passes through the fifth fixing holes 722, the fourth fixing holes 6221, and the third fixing holes 6121. When assembling the first air guide 61, the second air guide 62, and the drive unit 72, the third buckle 6211 is engaged with the third buckle hole 6113, connecting the first air guide portion 611 of the first air guide 61 with the second air guide portion 621 of the second air guide 62. This allows the first airflow channel 610 in the first air guide portion 611 and the second airflow channel 620 in the second air guide portion 621 to align and form an airflow channel extending in the front-rear direction, with both the front and rear sides of the airflow channel open. The drive unit 72 is installed onto the second moving part 622 via the second fastener passing through the fifth fixing hole 722 on the drive unit 72, the fourth fixing hole 6221 on the second moving part 622, and the third fixing hole 6121 on the first moving part 612. This also connects the first moving part 612 and the second moving part 622, reducing assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency.

[0102] The drive mechanism 71 includes a gear transmission mechanism 712 and a drive motor 711. The gear transmission mechanism 712 includes three sequentially meshing gears 7121. The gear 7121 at the beginning of the gear transmission mechanism 712 is connected to the drive motor 711, and the gear 7121 at the end of the gear transmission mechanism 712 meshes with a rack 721. The drive assembly 70 also includes a drive box 73. The drive mechanism 71 is disposed inside the drive box 73. Both the gear transmission mechanism 712 and the drive motor 711 are disposed inside the drive box 73. An clearance opening 733 is formed on the drive box 73. A portion of the gear 7121 at the end of the gear transmission mechanism 712 extends out of the drive box 73 through the clearance opening 733 and meshes with the rack 721. The drive box 73 defines a first cavity 731 and a second cavity 732. The drive motor 711 and the gear 7121 located at the beginning of the gear transmission mechanism 712 are both located in the first cavity 731. The other two gears 7121 in the gear transmission mechanism 712 are both located in the second cavity 732. The clearance opening 733 is formed on the side wall of the second cavity 732. The first cavity 731 is located outside the air duct.

[0103] The portion of the drive box 73 defining the first cavity 731 can be located outside the air outlet box 2. This allows the drive motor 711 to be located outside the air outlet cavity 201, i.e., outside the air duct of the air handling unit 20, avoiding the influence of airflow within the air handling unit 20 on the drive motor 711, such as avoiding the influence of humidifying airflow within the air handling unit 20 on the drive motor 711. The portion of the drive box 73 defining the second cavity 732 is located inside the air outlet cavity 201. This allows for a compact structure. Although the other two gears 7121 of the drive mechanism 71 are located inside the air outlet cavity 201, since the other two gears 7121 of the drive mechanism 71 are mounted in the second cavity 732 of the drive box 73, the influence of airflow within the air outlet cavity 201 on the meshing of the gears 7121 can be effectively avoided.

[0104] Furthermore, the drive box 73 includes a first box body 734 and a second box body 735 that are detachably connected, thereby facilitating the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the drive mechanism 71.

[0105] When assembling the air guide mechanism 60 with the air outlet component 22, the first moving part 612 and the second moving part 622 of the air guide mechanism body 6a are inserted into the guide cavity 2241 of the guide component 224 and can move up and down. The guide rib 723 on the drive part 72 cooperates with the guide groove 2242 on the side wall of the guide cavity 2241. During the up and down movement of the air guide mechanism 60, the first moving part 612 and the second moving part 622 of the air guide mechanism body 6a move along the guide cavity 2241, and at the same time, the guide rib 723 moves up and down along the guide groove 2242 to achieve the guiding effect of the up and down movement of the air guide mechanism 60, so that the air guide mechanism 60 can move stably in the up and down direction.

[0106] An accommodating groove 2212 is formed on the upper surface of the air outlet 221 of the air outlet 22. The accommodating groove 2212 is located on the outer periphery of the first air outlet 2211 and extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the first air outlet 2211. A light-emitting component 3 is disposed in the accommodating groove 2212, and the light-emitting component 3 is ring-shaped and extends in the same direction as the accommodating groove 2212. The side of the accommodating groove 2212 facing the air outlet cavity 104 is open to form an opening. The fixing bracket 23 covers a portion of the opening in the radial direction of the first air outlet 2211, and covers most of the opening in the radial direction of the first air outlet 2211, with the covered portion of the opening being away from the first air outlet 2211. An accommodating cavity 231 is defined between the inner wall of the accommodating groove 2212 and the fixing bracket 23. The uncovered portion of the opening forms a light-transmitting portion 232, which is a light-transmitting hole. The light-transmitting portion 232 is ring-shaped and forms the periphery of the first air outlet 2211. The radial width of the light-transmitting part 232 is smaller than the radial width of the light-emitting component 3, and the radial width of the light-transmitting part 232 is smaller than the radial width of the opening of the receiving groove 2212.

[0107] The projection of the light-transmitting part 232 onto the reference plane lies within the projection of the air guide mechanism 60 onto the reference plane. When the air guide mechanism 60 moves upward to open the first air outlet 2211, the light-transmitting part 232 and the air guide mechanism 60 are spaced a certain distance apart in the vertical direction. At this time, the light emitted by the light-emitting component 3 passes through the light-transmitting part 232 and shines upward into the air outlet cavity 104, and a relatively large amount of light enters the air outlet cavity 104. When the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211, the air guide mechanism 60 and the air outlet cavity 104 are separated by a certain distance. A light-transmitting channel is defined between the housings 2. The inner radial end of the light-transmitting channel is opposite to the light-transmitting part 232, and the outer radial end of the light-transmitting channel is formed as a light-emitting port 233. The light emitted by the light-emitting component 3 enters the light-transmitting channel through the light-transmitting part 232 and propagates radially to the light-emitting port 233. From the light-emitting port 233, it is emitted radially into the air outlet cavity 104. Relative to the opening of the first air outlet 2211 by the air guide mechanism 60, the light emission direction of the light-emitting component 3 and the amount of light emitted into the air outlet cavity 104 are changed.

[0108] The light-emitting component 3 is ring-shaped, for example, it can be a quadrilateral ring. The light-emitting component 3 includes: a lamp holder 31, a light-emitting element 33, a lamp cover 32, and a light guide 34. The lamp holder 31, the lamp cover 32, and the light guide 34 are all closed rings. The light-emitting element 33 is a light-emitting strip. The light-emitting element 33 is an open ring. The two ends of the opening of the light-emitting element 33 are provided with wire harnesses that are electrically connected to the light-emitting element 33. Through these wire harnesses, the light-emitting element 33 is connected to the circuit board in the electrical control box assembly of the whole machine to realize the power supply of the light-emitting element 33.

[0109] A mounting groove 310 is formed on the lamp holder 31, and the light-emitting element 33 is disposed within the mounting groove 310. The lamp holder 31 is opaque. A radially outwardly extending wire outlet 317 is also provided on the lamp holder 31, through which the wiring harness connecting to the light-emitting element 33 exits. The lamp cover 32 is transparent and covers the open end of the lamp holder 31. At least a portion of the lamp cover 32 is accommodated within the mounting groove 310. A first limiting surface 311 may be formed on the inner peripheral wall of the mounting groove 310, and the light-emitting element 33 is mounted on the side located away from the lamp cover 32 from the first limiting surface 311. A sealing groove 321 for accommodating sealant is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the lamp cover 32, and the sealing groove 321 extends annularly along the circumference of the lamp cover 32. A plurality of pressing protrusions 322 are formed on the side of the lamp cover 32 adjacent to the light-emitting element 33, and the plurality of pressing protrusions 322 are spaced apart along the circumference of the lamp cover 32. When the lamp cover 32 is installed into the lamp holder 31, sealant is filled into the sealing groove 321 of the lamp cover 32. The lamp cover 32 is then installed into the mounting groove 310 of the lamp holder 31. When the lamp cover 32 abuts against the first limiting surface 311 in the mounting groove 310, it indicates that the lamp cover 32 is installed in place. The lamp cover 32 is sealed to the lamp holder 31 through the sealant, and the multiple pressing protrusions 322 on the lamp cover 32 press against the light-emitting element 33, so that the light-emitting element 33 is stably fixed in the mounting groove 310.

[0110] Multiple second latches 316 are formed on the inner peripheral wall of the lamp holder 31. These second latches 316 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the lamp holder 31. Similarly, multiple second latches 316 are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the lamp holder 31. The light guide hood 34 has multiple second locking holes 341 formed on its inner peripheral wall. These second locking holes 341 can be arranged at intervals along the circumference of the light guide hood 34. The light guide hood 34 also has multiple second locking holes 341 formed on its outer peripheral wall.

[0111] Furthermore, a second limiting surface 312 is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the lamp holder 31, extending in a ring shape along the circumference of the lamp holder 31; a third limiting surface 313 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the lamp holder 31, extending in a ring shape along the circumference of the lamp holder 31. When the light guide cover 34 is assembled and connected to the lamp holder 31, the inner peripheral wall of the light guide cover 34 abuts against the second limiting surface 312, and the outer peripheral wall of the light guide cover 34 abuts against the third limiting surface 313, indicating that the light guide cover 34 is installed in place, and causing the second latch 316 on the inner peripheral wall of the lamp holder 31 to engage with the second latch hole 341 on the inner peripheral wall of the light guide cover 34, and the second latch 316 on the outer peripheral wall of the lamp holder 31 to engage with the second latch hole 341 on the outer peripheral wall of the light guide cover 34, thereby facilitating the connection between the light guide cover 34 and the lamp holder 31.

[0112] On the side of the lamp holder 31 away from the light guide 34, a plurality of first latches 314 are formed, and the plurality of first latches 314 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the lamp holder 31. On the side of the lamp holder 31 away from the light guide 34 (e.g., the bottom surface of the lamp holder 31), two positioning protrusions 315 are also formed, and the two positioning protrusions 315 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the lamp holder 31. The positioning protrusions 315 and the first latches 314 are located on the same side of the lamp holder 31, and at least one first latch 314 is provided between the two positioning protrusions 315. The bottom wall of the receiving groove 2212 has a first latch hole 2213 that mates with the first latch 314 and a positioning hole 2214 that mates with the positioning protrusion 315. When the light-emitting component 3 is installed into the receiving groove 2212, the positioning protrusion 315 on the light-emitting component 3 can be inserted into the positioning hole 2214 to initially position the light-emitting component 3 in the receiving groove 2212, indicating that the installation position of the light-emitting component 3 is accurate at this time, and the first buckle 314 is engaged in the first buckle hole 2213, so that the light-emitting component 3 can be accurately and reliably installed and fixed in the receiving groove 2212.

[0113] When the air handling unit 20 is working, the light-emitting component 3 can be turned on, and the light emitted by the light-emitting component 3 can be projected into the air outlet cavity 104 in a roughly circular shape. When the air handling unit 20 is not working, the light-emitting component 3 can be turned off. Thus, the user can intuitively and conveniently understand whether the air handling unit 20 is in working condition by observing whether there is light from the light-emitting component 3 in the air outlet cavity 104. Furthermore, when the air handling unit 20 is working, the light-emitting component 3 emits more light into the air outlet cavity 104 when the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211 compared to when the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211, allowing the user to more intuitively determine whether air is being discharged from the first air outlet 105.

[0114] When the air conditioner is working, it can control one of the air handling unit 20 and the air heat exchanger 80 to work, or it can control both the air handling unit 20 and the air heat exchanger 80 to work.

[0115] When only the air heat exchanger 80 is working, the second fan component 81 operates, and indoor air enters the first installation cavity from the heat exchange inlet 101 and exchanges heat with the heat exchanger component 82 before flowing out into the room from the heat exchange outlets 102 on both sides, thereby regulating the indoor temperature.

[0116] The operation of the air handling unit 20 may include the following situations: only one of the three air inlets 411 that is connected to the outside air is open; only one of the three air inlets 411 that is connected to the outside air is open; all three air inlets 411 are open.

[0117] The first scenario: If only one of the three air inlets 411, which is connected to the outside air, is open, the operation of the air handling unit 20 may include the following situations:

[0118] When only the air handling unit 20 is working, the first fan component 41 is working. When only air needs to be discharged from the first air outlet 105, the air guide plate 16 closes the second air outlet 106, and the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211. At this time, the first air outlet 2211 is connected to the first air outlet 105 through the air intake chamber. The air introduced from the outside is purified by the purification component 43 and flows upward into the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2. It does not pass through the humidification component 42 for humidification, and then flows into the air intake chamber from the first air outlet 2211. Finally, it flows out into the room from the first air outlet 105, thereby introducing outdoor air into the room. At this time, it is possible to purify the outdoor air introduced from the air inlet 411 before it flows into the room, thus improving the indoor air quality.

[0119] When only the second air outlet 106 is needed, the air guide plate 16 opens the second air outlet 106, and the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211. The air introduced from the outside is purified by the purification component 43 and flows upward into the air outlet cavity 201 of the air outlet box 2. Then, after being humidified by the humidification component 42, it is blown into the room through the two second air outlets 211 and the two second air outlets 106 in sequence. The air introduced from the outside no longer flows out from the first air outlet 105, but flows out into the room from the second air outlets 211 on both sides through the second air outlets 106. Thus, outdoor air can be introduced into the room. At this time, the outdoor air introduced from the air inlet 411 can be purified and humidified before flowing into the room, thereby improving the indoor air quality.

[0120] When air needs to be discharged simultaneously from the first air outlet 105 and the second air outlet 106, the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, and the air guide plate 16 opens the second air outlet 106. The first fan component 41 drives the airflow to enter the first fan component 41 from the air inlet 411, and then flows upward. After being purified by the purification component 43, the purified airflow flows upward into the air outlet cavity 201. A portion of the airflow in the air outlet cavity 201 does not pass through the humidification component 42 for humidification and passes through the first air outlet 106. Air 211 is blown upwards into the air intake cavity and then out into the room through the first air outlet 105. Another part is humidified by the humidification component 42 and then blown out from the two second air outlets 211 and the second air outlet 106 in sequence. Fresh air introduced from the outside is simultaneously discharged from the first air outlet 105 and the second air outlet 106, increasing the air outlet range and realizing multi-dimensional three-dimensional air outlet. At this time, the outdoor air introduced from the air inlet 411 can be purified, partially humidified and then flow into the room, which can quickly and effectively improve the indoor air quality.

[0121] Optionally, when the air handling unit 20 is operating, the first air outlet 2211 can be in a normally open state. For example, the first air outlet 2211 opens when the first fan component 41 is powered on and closes when the first fan component 41 stops. The second air outlet 106 can be opened depending on whether humidification is needed. The second air outlet 106 can be opened when humidification is needed and closed when humidification is not needed.

[0122] The second scenario: If only one of the three air inlets 411, which is connected to the indoor air, is open, the operation of the air handling unit 20 may include the following situations:

[0123] When only the air handling unit 20 is working, the first fan component 41 is working. When only air needs to be discharged from the first air outlet 105, the air guide plate 16 closes the second air outlet 106, and the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211. At this time, the first air outlet 2211 is connected to the first air outlet 105 through the air intake chamber. The air introduced from the room is purified by the purification component 43 and flows upward into the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2. It does not pass through the humidification component 42 for humidification, and then flows into the air intake chamber from the first air outlet 2211. Finally, it flows out into the room from the first air outlet 105, thereby purifying the indoor air and improving the indoor air quality.

[0124] When only the second air outlet 106 is needed, the air guide plate 16 opens the second air outlet 106, and the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211. The air introduced from the room is purified by the purification component 43 and flows upward into the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2. Then, after being humidified by the humidification component 42, it is blown out into the room through the two second air outlets 211 and the two second air outlets 106 in sequence. The air introduced from the room no longer flows out from the first air outlet 105, but flows out into the room from the second air outlets 211 on both sides through the second air outlets 106. Thus, the indoor air can be purified and humidified, and the indoor air quality can be improved.

[0125] When air needs to be discharged simultaneously from the first air outlet 105 and the second air outlet 106, the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, and the air guide plate 16 opens the second air outlet 106. The first fan component 41 drives the airflow to enter the first fan component 41 from the air inlet 411, and then flows upward. After being purified by the purification component 43, the purified airflow flows upward into the air outlet cavity 201. A portion of the airflow in the air outlet cavity 201 does not pass through the humidification component 42 for humidification and passes through the first air outlet. 2211 blows upwards into the air intake cavity and out into the room through the first air outlet 105. Another part is humidified by the humidification component 42 and then blown out from the two second air outlets 211 and the second air outlet 106 in sequence. The air introduced from the room is simultaneously discharged from the first air outlet 105 and the second air outlet 106, increasing the air outlet range and realizing multi-dimensional three-dimensional air outlet. At this time, the indoor air introduced from the air inlet 411 can be purified, partially humidified and then flow into the room, which can quickly and effectively improve the indoor air quality.

[0126] Optionally, when the air handling unit 20 is operating, the first air outlet 2211 can be in a normally open state. For example, the first air outlet 2211 opens when the first fan component 41 is powered on and closes when the first fan component 41 stops. The second air outlet 106 can be opened depending on whether humidification is needed. The second air outlet 106 can be opened when humidification is needed and closed when humidification is not needed.

[0127] The third scenario: When all three air inlets 411 are open, the operation of the air handling unit 20 may include the following situations:

[0128] When only the air handling unit 20 is working, the first fan component 41 is working. When only air needs to be discharged from the first air outlet 105, the air guide plate 16 closes the second air outlet 106, and the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211. At this time, the first air outlet 2211 is connected to the first air outlet 105 through the air intake chamber. The air introduced from the room and the air introduced from the outside are purified by the purification component 43 and then flow upward into the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2. Without being humidified by the humidification component 42, the air flows into the air intake chamber from the first air outlet 2211 and finally flows out into the room from the first air outlet 105. This can purify the indoor air, improve the indoor air quality, and introduce fresh air and purify the introduced fresh air.

[0129] When only the second air outlet 106 is needed, the air guide plate 16 opens the second air outlet 106, and the air guide mechanism 60 closes the first air outlet 2211. The air introduced from the room and the air introduced from the outside are purified by the purification component 43 and flow upward into the air outlet chamber 201 of the air outlet box 2. Then, after being humidified by the humidification component 42, it is blown out into the room through the two second air outlets 211 and the two second air outlets 106 in sequence. The air introduced from the room and the air introduced from the outside no longer flow out from the first air outlet 105, but flow out into the room from the second air outlets 211 on both sides through the second air outlets 106. Thus, the indoor air can be purified and humidified, improving the indoor air quality. Fresh air can also be introduced and purified and humidified.

[0130] When air needs to be discharged simultaneously from the first air outlet 105 and the second air outlet 106, the air guide mechanism 60 opens the first air outlet 2211, and the air guide plate 16 opens the second air outlet 106. The first fan component 41 drives the airflow to enter the first fan component 41 from the air inlet 411, and then flows upward. It is first purified by the purification component 43, and the purified airflow flows upward into the air outlet cavity 201. A portion of the airflow in the air outlet cavity 201 does not pass through the humidification component 42 for humidification and is blown upward through the first air outlet 2211 into the air intake cavity and then through the first air outlet. Air 105 is blown into the room, and another part is humidified by the humidification component 42 and then blown out from the two second air outlets 211 and the second air outlet 106 in sequence. Air introduced from the room and air introduced from the outside are simultaneously blown out from the first air outlet 105 and the second air outlet 106, increasing the air outlet range and realizing multi-dimensional three-dimensional air outlet. At this time, the indoor air introduced from the air inlet 411 can be purified and partially humidified before flowing into the room, which can quickly and effectively improve the indoor air quality. Fresh air can also be introduced and purified and partially humidified.

[0131] Optionally, when the air handling unit 20 is operating, the first air outlet 2211 can be in a normally open state. For example, the first air outlet 2211 opens when the first fan component 41 is powered on and closes when the first fan component 41 stops. The second air outlet 106 can be opened depending on whether humidification is needed. The second air outlet 106 can be opened when humidification is needed and closed when humidification is not needed.

[0132] When both the air handling unit 20 and the air heat exchanger 80 are working, the indoor temperature can be regulated and the indoor air quality can be improved. The working state of the air handling unit 20 can be referred to the above description.
