[0061] The air conditioner indoor unit 1000 according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a casing 100 as shown in Figure 1 , a fresh air module 200 and a fixing seat 300 as shown in Figure 7 .

[0062] As shown in Figure 2 , the casing 100 is provided with a fresh air inlet 102. As shown in Figure 1 , the casing 100 is further provided with a fresh air outlet 103. The casing 100 comprises a bottom plate 170. The fresh air inlet 102 can introduce fresh air from the outside, and the fresh air outlet 103 can discharge the purified fresh air into the room.

[0063] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the fresh air module 200 is arranged in the casing 100. As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the fresh air module 200 comprises an air guide cover 210, an air guide assembly 220 and a purification assembly 230.

[0064] As shown in Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 , one end of the air guide cover 210 is provided with an air passage 213 which is in communication with the fresh air inlet 102 in Figure 2 . As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 , an air guide channel 214 is formed in the air guide cover 210. The fresh air from the outside can be further introduced into the air guide channel 214 through the air passage 213 after being introduced from the fresh air inlet 102.

[0065] As shown in Figure 10 , the air guide assembly 220 is connected to the air guide cover 210. The air inlet end 2213 of the air guide assembly 220 is in communication with the air guide channel 214, and the air outlet end 2214 of the air guide assembly 220 is in communication with the fresh air outlet 103. The air guide assembly 220 can further guide the fresh air in the air guide channel 214 towards the fresh air outlet 103.

[0066] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 10 , the purification assembly 230 is arranged in the air guide channel 214. The purification assembly 230 can filter the flowing fresh air, trap harmful impurities and dust, and improve the cleanliness of the fresh air.

[0067] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the fresh air module 200 is connected to the fixing seat 300, and the fixing seat 300 is connected to the bottom plate 170, so that the fixing seat 300 can carry the fresh air module 200 and provide a mounting site for the fresh air module 200.

[0068] As can be seen from the above structure, the fresh air module 200 composed of the air guide cover 210, the air guide assembly 220 and the purification assembly 230 is compactly arranged in a modular manner. When the air guide assembly 220 works, the fresh air can be introduced from the fresh air inlet 102 to the air outlet 213, and then be guided from the air outlet 213 along the air guide channel 214 to the purification assembly 230 to be purified. The clean air after purification is further introduced from the air inlet end 2213 of the air guide assembly 220 to the air outlet end 2214, and then discharged from the air outlet end 2214 to the fresh air outlet 103, so as to provide the required clean fresh air for the indoor and improve the indoor air quality.

[0069] When the air guide assembly 220 guides air, the air guide cover 210 is always stable relative to the air guide assembly 220, the air guide cover 210 is not easy to shake and the air guide cover 210 is not easy to deform, so as to ensure that the air guide channel 214 formed in the air guide cover 210 always maintains good flow capacity and continuously supplies the required fresh air for the air guide assembly 220. The air guide cover 210 can be reasonably designed in shape and connection position according to the fresh air inlet 102 on the cabinet 100, the reserved space in the cabinet 100 and the position of the air inlet end 2213 of the air guide assembly 220, so as to stably provide the required air volume of fresh air for the air guide assembly 220 and ensure that the structure of the entire fresh air module 200 is compact.

[0070] The modular fresh air module 200 can be quickly assembled to the bottom plate 170 through the fixing seat 300, the fresh air module 200 is convenient to disassemble and assemble, has a compact structure, and is stable in work after assembly and not easy to produce abnormal sound. The bottom plate 170 supports the entire cabinet 100 and effectively fixes the entire fresh air module 200, the center of gravity of the fresh air module 200 is stable, the space occupied is small, the fresh air module 200 is convenient to add in the cabinet 100 and does not affect the arrangement of other heat exchange components in the air conditioner indoor unit 1000. The air conditioner indoor unit 1000 is especially suitable for a square cabinet.

[0071] It can be understood that, compared with arranging the fresh air device in a circular cabinet, the fresh air module 200 arranged in the square cabinet can be compactly arranged in a modular manner, the fresh air module 200 is convenient to disassemble and assemble, can fit the reserved space in the square cabinet and can fully utilize the wide cross-sectional dimension of the square cabinet, so that the square cabinet has a compact, beautiful and stable fresh air function.

[0072] Optionally, the ventilation opening 213 and the fresh air inlet 102 are directly communicated through the air guide cover 210, and the fresh air inlet 102 can be communicated with the outdoor through an air pipe. The appearance of the whole machine is beautiful, and the fresh air pipe is conveniently arranged and led to the outdoor.

[0073] Optionally, the shape of the fixing seat 300 is matched with the shape of the chassis 170, the fixing seat 300 and the chassis 170 are detachably connected through bolts and threads, or the fixing seat 300 and the chassis 170 are detachably connected through clamping and insertion, or the contact surfaces between the fixing seat 300 and the chassis 170 are directly welded.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The indoor air inlet 104 is arranged near the fresh air outlet 103. The indoor air inlet 104 can introduce indoor air into the cabinet, and after heat exchange under the action of related components in the cabinet 100, the indoor air is discharged to the indoor, forming a circulating heat exchange of indoor air, so as to change the temperature of indoor air and improve comfort. In these examples, the air discharged from the fresh air outlet 103 can be quickly sucked into the cabinet 100 by the indoor air inlet 104 for heat exchange, thereby reducing the influence of the new air entering the indoor on the indoor temperature, and avoiding the large fluctuation of the indoor temperature caused by directly introducing a large amount of new air into the indoor.

[0075] Advantageously, as shown in Figure 1 The air inlet grille 400 is arranged near the indoor air inlet 104 of the cabinet 100, so as to effectively trap the hair entering the indoor air inlet 104 from the indoor air inlet 104, and prevent family members from putting their hands into the indoor air inlet 104 and being injured by touching the internal working components.

[0076] Optionally, as shown in Figure 3 The indoor air inlet 104 is arranged on the left side and the right side of the cabinet 100, and the fresh air outlet 103 is arranged at the lower part of the indoor air inlet 104. In these examples, the fresh air outlet 103 is arranged without additionally opening an outlet on the cabinet 100, but directly occupying part of the original arrangement position of the indoor air inlet 104, which reduces the design concession required when the new air module 200 is added, and reduces the processing cost.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 The air guide cover 210 includes a first air guide cover 211 and a second air guide cover 212 which are detachably connected, as shown in Figure 8As shown, the air induction assembly 220 includes a fan shell 221 and a fan 222 arranged in the fan shell 221, the first air guide cover 211 is respectively arranged on the surface of the fan shell 221 and the second air guide cover 212, and part of the second air guide cover 212 is arranged on the fan shell 221. In these examples, the first air guide cover 211, the second air guide cover 212, and the fan shell 221 cooperate with each other and form a relatively closed air guide channel 214 inside, which saves the material required for the air guide cover 210 and is conducive to the lightweight design of the fresh air module 200. The first air guide cover 211 and the second air guide cover 212 can fully exert their design advantages, fit the inner wall of the machine shell 100, and at the same time, form a complete air guide channel 214 between the fresh air inlet 102 and the air induction assembly 220. The overall structure is stable, and the air guide cover 210 is not easy to deform during air induction, so that the air pressure in the air guide channel 214 is guaranteed, and the air flow of the air guide channel 214 is controllable, so that the air induction capacity of the air induction assembly 220 is guaranteed, and finally the amount of fresh air blown out from the air induction assembly 220 to the fresh air outlet 103 is controllable. In addition, since the first air guide cover 211 and the second air guide cover 212 are detachably connected, it is convenient to adjust the position of the air guide cover 210 relative to the fan shell 221, and the connection between the air guide cover 210 and the fan shell 221 is more convenient. Since the air guide cover 210 is connected to the fan shell 221, as long as the fan shell 221 is fixed to the fixed seat 300, the position of the air guide cover 210 relative to the fixed seat 300 and the machine shell 100 is stable. The air guide cover 210 arranged on the fan shell 221 can further ensure that the fan shell 221 does not collide with the machine shell 100, improve the stability of the operation of the air induction assembly 220, and reduce the diffusion of the working noise of the fan 222 in the fan shell 221 to a certain extent.

[0078] In the above examples, the overlapping parts of the first air guide cover 211, the second air guide cover 212, and the fan shell 221 should fit together to reduce the gap and ensure tight connection.

[0079] Of course, in other examples, the connection relationship between the air guide cover 210 and the fan shell 221 can also not be limited to the above form. For example, the first air guide cover 211 and the second air guide cover 212 can directly form a closed air guide channel 214, and the inner wall of the air guide channel 214 does not need to include the fan shell 221. At this time, only an outlet is needed to be arranged on the air guide cover 210, the air guide cover 210 is connected to the air inlet end 2213 of the fan shell 221, and the outlet is aligned with the air inlet end 2213, so that the fresh air in the air guide channel 214 can be introduced into the fan shell 221.

[0080] Optionally, as Figure 8 and Figure 10As shown, one of the first and second air scoops 211 and 212 is provided with a buckle 215 and the other is provided with a clamping groove 216, and the buckle 215 is matched in the clamping groove 216. After the buckle 215 and the clamping groove 216 are matched, a stable positioning connection is formed, so that the first and second air scoops 211 and 212 are convenient to assemble and can be repeatedly disassembled.

[0081] Alternatively, the first and second air scoops 211 and 212 are connected by a first fastener. At this time, the first and second air scoops 211 and 212 can be respectively provided with through holes, and the first fastener adopts a bolt and a nut, the bolt passes through the two through holes and is matched with the nut, so as to realize the detachable connection of the first and second air scoops 211 and 212. Alternatively, one of the first and second air scoops 211 and 212 can be provided with a through hole, and the other can be provided with a stud, and the first fastener adopts a bolt, the bolt passes through the through hole and is connected in the stud, so as to realize the detachable connection of the first and second air scoops 211 and 212.

[0082] Alternatively, in the above-mentioned first fastener connection scheme, one of the first and second air scoops 211 and 212 can be provided with a positioning column, and the other can be provided with a positioning hole, and the positioning column is positioned in the positioning hole, so as to provide a predetermined position for the fixed connection of the first fastener. Alternatively, in the first fastener scheme, the above-mentioned buckle 215 and clamping groove 216 scheme can also realize the pre-positioning fixation, which is not limited here.

[0083] In the description of the present application, the features defined as "first" and "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more of the features, for distinguishing the description features, without order and without difference.

[0084] Alternatively, the fan 222 is a centrifugal fan, and the use of the centrifugal fan can change the air inlet direction and the air outlet direction, so that the arrangement of the fresh air module 200 is more flexible, and the relative position between the fresh air inlet 102 and the fresh air outlet 103 can be adjusted, which is beneficial to the appearance adjustment of the whole machine according to the needs of the casing 100 of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000.

[0085] Alternatively, as shown in the figure, Figure 8 The fan 222 includes a direct current motor 2221 and a centrifugal impeller 2223, the direct current motor 2221 provides a stable driving force for the centrifugal impeller 2223, so that the centrifugal impeller 2223 stably rotates and introduces the outdoor fresh air into the indoor.

[0086] Advantageously, as shown in the figure, Figure 8As shown, the fan 222 further comprises a motor fixing cover 2222 fixed between the centrifugal fan wheel 2223 and the DC motor 2221, which can provide support for the arrangement of the centrifugal fan wheel 2223, and position the DC motor 2221 in the fan shell 221 to ensure stable operation of the fan 222.

[0087] Optionally, as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the fan shell 221 comprises a first volute 2211 and a second volute 2212, which are detachably connected, the first volute 2211 forms an air inlet end 2213 at one end thereof towards the first air baffle 211, and the second volute 2212 forms an air outlet end 2214 at one end thereof towards the fresh air outlet 103. In these examples, the fan 222 can be arranged on the second volute 2212 first, and then the first volute 2211 is connected to the second volute 2212, which facilitates careful observation during installation of the fan 222 and facilitates operation of the staff, thereby making the fan 222 easy to assemble and disassemble relative to the fan shell 221, and facilitating maintenance.

[0088] Advantageously, in combination with Figure 3 , Figure 8 As shown, the fan shaft of the centrifugal fan is perpendicular to the chassis 170, that is, the centrifugal fan is arranged in a horizontal manner in the casing 100. Such an arrangement makes full use of the bottom space of the casing 100 without occupying more upper space of the casing 100, which is beneficial for size optimization of the entire machine, especially for a square cabinet machine, the size of the cross section formed by the length direction and the width direction is much larger than that of a circular cabinet machine, and the height of the square cabinet machine is lower than that of the circular cabinet machine. Therefore, the centrifugal fan of the present application adopts the above-mentioned arrangement, which makes the fresh air module 200 more suitable for the square air conditioner indoor unit 1000, effectively utilizes the size of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 in the length, width and height directions, and leaves sufficient space in the upper part of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 for arranging the heat exchanger and other components.

[0124] The control method of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 of the embodiment of the present application is described below.

[0125] According to the control method of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 of the embodiment of the present application, the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 is provided with a fresh air module 200, the fresh air module 200 is provided with an air inlet 213 capable of guiding air, the opening degree of the air inlet 213 is adjustable, and the fresh air module 200 comprises an air guide assembly 220 capable of guiding air.

[0126] Optionally, an air inlet control assembly 260 can be arranged at the ventilation opening 213 to realize adjustable opening degree, and the structure of the air inlet control assembly 260 is consistent with the foregoing examples, which will not be described here.

[0129] Optionally, the humidity value of the fresh air can be monitored in real time by arranging a humidity sensor 270. The humidity sensor 270 can be arranged in the fresh air module 200 or in a pipeline through which outdoor air is communicated with the fresh air module 200.

[0130] In one specific example, the fresh air module 200 comprises the air guide cover 210, the air guide assembly 220 and the purification assembly 230 in the foregoing examples, the air guide cover 210 is provided with the air guide channel 214, and the structures of the air guide cover 210, the air guide assembly 220 and the purification assembly 230 are consistent with those in the foregoing examples, which will not be described here. The humidity sensor 270 is arranged in the air guide channel 214 to monitor the humidity value of fresh air introduced into the air guide cover 210 in real time.

[0131] Step S2, judging whether the humidity value is within a preset humidity threshold.

[0132] Here, a judgment module can be additionally arranged, and the humidity threshold can be preset. The judgment module compares the humidity value detected by the humidity sensor 270 in real time with the preset humidity threshold, and transmits the comparison result to the control module to form a control signal.

[0133] Step S3, if yes, the ventilation opening 213 keeps the original opening degree or increases the opening degree, and the air guide assembly 220 keeps air guiding.

[0134] In these examples, when the control module forms an instruction of increasing the opening degree of the ventilation opening 213, the valve 261 can be rotated to a position with a larger included angle between the ventilation opening 213 and the surface on which the ventilation opening 213 is arranged to realize the increase of the opening degree. When the control module forms an instruction of keeping air guiding by the air guide assembly 220 and increasing the fresh air volume, the fan 222 can be controlled to increase the rotating speed to increase the air volume of air guiding.

[0135] Step S4, if no, decreasing the opening degree until the ventilation opening 213 is closed, and controlling the air guide assembly 220 to stop air guiding.

[0136] In these examples, the control module forms an instruction of reducing the opening degree of the air vent 213, which can be achieved by controlling the valve 261 to rotate to a position with a smaller angle with the surface where the air vent 213 is located; and the control module forms an instruction of the opening degree of the air vent 213 being zero, which can be achieved by controlling the valve 261 to rotate to a position tending to coincide with the surface where the air vent 213 is located. When the control module forms an instruction of stopping the air induction assembly 220 from inducing air, the air induction amount of the air induction assembly 220 can be reduced by controlling the fan 222 to stop rotating.

[0137] From the above control method, it can be seen that the control method of the air conditioner indoor unit 1000 of the embodiment of the present application can detect the humidity of the outdoor air newly introduced into the fresh air module 200, control the opening degree of the air vent 213 according to the size of the humidity value, and adjust the working state of the air induction assembly 220 according to the size of the humidity value, so as to ensure that the fresh air module 200 works at a suitable fresh air humidity threshold value, guarantee the working performance of the fresh air module 200, prolong the service life of the fresh air module 200, and effectively prevent the humidity of the outdoor air newly introduced into the fresh air module 200 from being too large to cause a large amount of condensate water to be generated when the fresh air is discharged, which affects the surrounding environment.
