In addition, features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0051] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0052] The air processing module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0053] like Figure 3-Figure 5 and Fig. 9 — Fig.13 As shown, the air processing module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air outlet frame 1, a plasma module 2 and a metal part 3. Among them, the air outlet frame 1 has a first air duct 11 and a first inlet 15 and an outlet 16 connected to the first air duct 11, and the first inlet 15 is connected to the indoor environment. It can be understood that when the air processing module 100 is running, the air in the room where the air processing module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15, flows from the first air duct 11, and finally blows to the space where the air processing module 100 is located through the outlet 16. At the same time, the provision of the air outlet frame 1 can realize the protection of the components in the first air duct 11 to avoid damage caused by exposure, which is conducive to extending the service life of the air processing module 100 and has a better appearance effect.

[0054] The plasma module 2 is disposed in the first air duct 11, and is used to generate plasma in the first air duct 11. Thus, the plasma module 2 ionizes the air to generate plasma, thereby killing bacteria in the first air duct 11, so that the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15, is sterilized by the plasma module 2, and is blown out through the outlet 16, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air blown out from the outlet 16, and further improving the air quality of the space where the air treatment module 100 is located.

[0055] Specifically, under the action of an asymmetric plasma electric field formed by high-voltage and high-frequency pulse discharge, the plasma module causes a large amount of plasma in the air to collide step by step, thereby generating an electrochemical reaction, and then hitting the virus near the electric field, and killing the virus through high-speed breakdown of the ion group. The charged particles hit the virus at a speed of meters per second, and use the etching and breakdown effects produced by high-kinetic energy electrons and particles, so that the images of the virus particles after the plasma collision appear to be riddled with holes, and the virus killing effect is good.

[0056] The metal part 3 is grounded, and the metal part 3 is arranged in the first air duct 11 and connected to the air outlet frame 1. Along the airflow direction, the metal part 3 is located upstream of the plasma module 2. It can be understood that, since the number of negative ions generated by the plasma module 2 is greater than the number of positive ions, the negative ions that are not neutralized with the positive ions flow from the outlet 16 to the indoor space where the air treatment module 100 is located along the airflow direction. As the air treatment module 100 continues to operate, the negative ions will enter the first air duct 11 again from the first inlet 15. By arranging the grounded metal part 3 upstream of the plasma module 2, the negative ions are neutralized by the metal part 3 when passing through the metal part 3, thereby effectively avoiding the negative ions flowing back from the performance of the electrical components in the first air duct 11. The reliability and service life of the air treatment module 100 are improved.

[0057] Furthermore, the metal part 3 can be connected to the ground wire through a wire, so that the metal part 3 is grounded, so that the negative ions are connected to the ground wire through the wire under the action of the electric potential field to be eliminated, thereby achieving the neutralization of the negative ions when passing through the metal part 3. It should be noted that the material of the metal part 3 is not limited here, and can be copper, iron or aluminum, etc.

[0058] According to the air treatment module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the air outlet frame 1 has a first air duct 11 and a first inlet 15 and an outlet 16 connected to the first air duct 11, the first inlet 15 is connected to the indoor environment, the plasma module 2 is arranged in the first air duct 11, and the plasma module 2 is used to generate plasma in the first air duct 11, so that the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15 and is sterilized by the plasma module 2 and blown out through the outlet 16, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air, and then improving the air quality of the space where the air treatment module 100 is located. At the same time, the metal part 3 is grounded, and the metal part 3 is arranged in the first air duct 11 and connected to the air outlet frame 1, so that the negative ions are neutralized when passing through the metal part 3, thereby effectively avoiding the negative ions flowing back from affecting the performance of the electrical components in the first air duct 11, and improving the reliability and service life of the air treatment module 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the metal member 3 is in a ring shape extending along the circumferential direction of the first air duct 11. Therefore, when the metal member 3 is located upstream of the plasma module 2 along the airflow direction, the grounded metal member 3 is set to be in a ring shape extending along the circumferential direction of the first air duct 11, thereby improving the neutralization effect of the metal member 3 on the negative ions in the first air duct 11, thereby improving the reliability of the air treatment module 100.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9-13 As shown, the metal member 3 is located at the first inlet 15. Therefore, by arranging the grounded metal member 3 at the first inlet 15, the negative ions are neutralized when passing through the metal member 3, thereby effectively preventing the negative ions from flowing back from the first inlet 15 into the first air duct 11, and further effectively preventing the negative ions from affecting the performance of the electrical components in the first air duct 11, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the air treatment module 100.

[0061] Further, the metal member 3 is in the form of a ring extending along the circumferential direction of the first air duct 11 or the circumferential direction of the first air inlet 2041. Thus, by setting the grounded metal member 3 in the form of a ring extending along the circumferential direction of the first air inlet 2041, the neutralization effect of the metal member 3 on the negative ions at the first inlet 15 is improved, and the negative ions flowing back from the first inlet 15 are further prevented from entering the first air duct 11, thereby improving the reliability of the air treatment module 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4As shown, the air outlet frame 1 also includes a second inlet 17 connected to the first air duct 11, and the second inlet 17 is connected to the outdoor environment. Therefore, when the second inlet 17 is connected to the first air duct 11, when the air treatment module 100 is in operation, the outdoor airflow enters the first air duct 11 through the second inlet 17, and is sterilized by the plasma module 2 and blown from the outlet 16 to the space where the air treatment module 100 is located, thereby realizing the fresh air function of the air treatment module 100. When the first inlet 15 is connected to the first air duct 11, when the air treatment module 100 is in operation, the airflow in the indoor space where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 through the air inlet, and is sterilized by the plasma module 2 and blown from the outlet 16 to the space where the air treatment module 100 is located, thereby realizing the indoor air circulation function of the air treatment module 100.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9-13 As shown, there are multiple first inlets 15, and the metal parts 3 are multiple corresponding to the multiple first inlets 15. It can be understood that since the first inlet 15 is connected to the indoor environment where the air treatment module 100 is located, the indoor wind circulation effect of the air treatment module 100 is effectively improved by setting multiple first inlets 15, and the grounded metal parts 3 are multiple corresponding to the multiple first inlets 15, so that the negative ions are neutralized by the metal parts 3 when passing through each first inlet 15, thereby effectively preventing the backflow of negative ions from entering the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15, thereby improving the reliability of the air treatment module 100.

[0064] Furthermore, there are two first inlets 15 arranged opposite to each other, and there is one second inlet 17 . The two first inlets 15 and the one second inlet 17 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the air treatment module 100 . There are two metal parts 3 , and the two metal parts 3 correspond to the two first inlets 15 one by one, respectively.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 9-13As shown, the air processing module 100 also includes a fan assembly 4, the first air duct 11 includes an air inlet chamber 111, a first sub-air duct 131 and a second sub-air duct 1413, and the air outlet frame 1 includes an air inlet bracket 12, a volute 13 and an air outlet bracket 14. Among them, the air inlet bracket 12 has a first inlet 15, the volute 13 is connected to the air inlet bracket 12 and defines an air inlet chamber 111, the volute 13 has a first sub-air duct 131 and an air suction port 132 and an air exhaust port 133 connected to the first sub-air duct 131, the first inlet 15 and the air suction port 132 are both connected to the air inlet chamber 111, the fan assembly 4 is located in the first sub-air duct 131 and is used to drive the air flow from the air suction port 132 to the air exhaust port 133, the air outlet bracket 14 is connected to the volute 13, the air outlet bracket 14 has a second sub-air duct 1413 and an air inlet 1421 and an outlet 16 connected to the second sub-air duct 1413, the air inlet 1421 is connected to the exhaust port 133, the plasma module 2 is located in the second sub-air duct 1413, and the metal part 3 is located in the air inlet chamber 111, the first sub-air duct 131 or the second sub-air duct 1413.

[0066] Thus, when the air treatment module 100 is in operation, the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the air inlet chamber 111 through the first inlet 15 in turn, and the fan assembly 4 drives the air flow from the air inlet 132 to the air outlet 133, so that the air flow in the air inlet chamber 111 enters the first sub-air duct 131 through the air inlet 132, is discharged through the air outlet 133, enters the second sub-air duct 1413 through the air inlet 1421, and is blown to the space where the air treatment module 100 is located from the outlet 16 after being sterilized by the plasma module 2. At the same time, the metal part 3 is located in the air inlet chamber 111, the first sub-air duct 131 or the second sub-air duct 1413, and the metal part 3 is located upstream of the plasma module 2, so that the metal part 3 neutralizes the refluxed negative ions, effectively preventing the negative ions from affecting the performance of the electrical components.

[0067] Furthermore, if Figure 10-13 As shown, the metal component 3 is located at the first inlet 15 and connected to the air inlet bracket 12 , thereby achieving the connection between the metal component 3 and the air outlet frame 1 and avoiding the metal component 3 from being exposed, thereby improving the reliability of the air processing module 100 .

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 10-13As shown, the metal part 3 is annular and extends in the circumferential direction of the first inlet 15, the metal part 3 has a first mounting hole 31, the air inlet bracket 12 has a second mounting hole matched with the first mounting hole 31, and the fastener penetrates the first mounting hole 31 and the second mounting hole to realize the connection between the metal part 3 and the air inlet bracket 12. Furthermore, the air inlet bracket 12 has two first inlets 15, and there are two metal parts 3, and the two metal parts 3 correspond to the first inlets 15 one by one, so as to ensure the neutralization effect of the metal part 3 on the negative ions at the first inlet 15, and prevent the negative ions flowing back from the first inlet 15 from entering the first air duct 11, thereby improving the reliability of the air treatment module 100.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the volute 13 includes a first shell 134 and a second shell 135 connected to each other, the first shell 134 is located on a side of the second shell 135 close to the air inlet bracket 12, an air inlet cavity 111 is defined between the first shell 134 and the air inlet bracket 12, a first sub-air duct 131 is defined between the first shell 134 and the second shell 135, and a fan assembly 4 is located between the first shell 134 and the second shell 135, and a reinforcing plate 1351 is provided on a side of the second shell 135 away from the first shell 134, and the reinforcing plate 1351 is used to strengthen the overall structural strength of the volute 13. The fan assembly 4 includes a motor 41, a motor 41 cover and a wind wheel 43, the motor 41 cover is arranged outside the motor 41, and the motor 41 is used to drive the wind wheel 43 to rotate to drive the air flow from the air inlet 132 to the air outlet 133.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the air processing module 100 further includes an electrostatic dust removal module 5. The electrostatic dust removal module 5 is located in the first air duct 11, and is located downstream of the plasma module 2 along the air flow direction.

[0071] Thus, the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic precipitator module 5 are both arranged in the first air duct 11, and the electrostatic precipitator module 5 is located downstream of the plasma module 2 along the airflow direction, and the plasma module 2 is used to generate plasma in the first air duct 11. Thus, the plasma module 2 ionizes the air to generate plasma, thereby killing the bacteria in the first air duct 11, and the number of negative ions generated is greater than the number of positive ions, and the negative ions that are not neutralized with the positive ions are continuously combined with the particles in the first air duct 11, and flow into the electrostatic precipitator module 5 along the airflow direction, and the charged particles are absorbed by the electrostatic precipitator module 5, so that the airflow entering the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15 passes through the sterilization and dust removal of the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic precipitator module 5 and then blows to the space where the air treatment module 100 is located through the outlet 16, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air and improving the air quality of the space where the air treatment module 100 is located.

[0072] Specifically, the plasma module 2, under the action of the asymmetric plasma electric field formed by high-voltage and high-frequency pulse discharge, causes a large amount of plasma in the air to collide step by step, thereby generating an electrochemical reaction, and then hits the virus near the electric field, and kills the virus through high-speed breakdown of the ion group. The charged particles hit the virus at a speed of meters per second, and use the etching and breakdown effects generated by high-kinetic energy electrons and particles, so that the images of the virus particles after the plasma collision are all riddled with holes, and the virus killing effect is good. Along the direction of airflow, the airflow mixed with charged particles flows into the channel of the electrostatic dust removal module 5. The high-intensity electric field in the channel captures charged dust particles, microorganisms, aerosols, etc. and adsorbs them on the surface of the channel. Since the surface of the channel is in a strong electric field, the bacteria and viruses on its surface will be inactivated under the conditions of the strong electric field, further completing the disinfection and purification in the first air duct 11.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the air treatment module 100 also includes a power supply device 6. The power supply device 6 is one and is arranged in the first air duct 11, and is used to supply power to the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic dust removal module 5 at the same time. It can be understood that the power supply device 6 is connected to the power supply, and the power supply device 6 converts the input low-voltage electricity into high-voltage electricity and simultaneously provides the power supply device 6 to the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic dust removal module 5, thereby realizing the sterilization and dust removal functions of the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic dust removal module 5. As a result, the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic dust removal module 5 share a power supply device 6, thereby reducing the cost of the air treatment module 100, saving space in the air outlet frame 1, and improving the space utilization rate in the air outlet frame 1.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4-Figure 8 As shown, the air treatment module 100 also includes a plug-in connector 7. The plug-in connector 7 is arranged outside the air outlet frame 1 and connected to the air outlet frame 1, the plug-in connector 7 is electrically connected to the power supply device 6, and the electrostatic precipitator module 5 is suitable for being connected to the plug-in connector 7. As a result, the high voltage electricity output by the power supply device 6 is first transmitted to the plug-in connector, and the plug-in connector then transmits the high voltage electricity to the electrostatic precipitator module 5, so that the power supply device 6 supplies power to the electrostatic precipitator module 5. At the same time, by arranging the plug-in connector 7 outside the air outlet frame 1, that is, the plug-in connector is arranged outside the first air duct 11, it is avoided that the plasma module 2 is ionized to generate plasma and affects the performance of the plug-in connector, thereby improving the service life of the plug-in connector, and then improving the reliability of the air treatment module 100.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the air outlet frame 1 has a through hole 1411 opposite to the plug-in connector 7, and the plug-in connector 7 includes a shell 71, a plug-in body 72 and a spring 73. The shell 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 1, the plug-in body 72 is located in the shell 71, the plug-in body 72 is electrically connected to the power supply device 6, the spring 73 is arranged on the side of the shell 71 close to the electrostatic precipitator module 5, the spring 73 is arranged on the side of the shell 71 close to the electrostatic precipitator module 5, the plug 53 of the electrostatic precipitator module 5 is penetrated in the through hole 1411 and abutted against one end of the spring 73, and the other end of the spring 73 is electrically connected to the plug-in body 72.

[0076] Thus, the high voltage electricity output by the power supply device 6 is first transmitted to the plug-in body 72, and the plug-in body 72 then transmits the high voltage electricity to the plug 53 of the electrostatic dust removal module 5 through the spring 73, so that the power supply device 6 supplies power to the electrostatic dust removal module 5. At the same time, the shell 71 is connected to the air outlet frame 1, and the plug-in connector 7 is arranged outside the air outlet frame 1 and connected to the air outlet frame 1, and the setting of the shell 71 can protect the power supply device 6, avoid high voltage electricity exposure, and improve safety. In addition, the air outlet frame 1 has a through hole 1411 opposite to the plug-in connector 7, so that the plug 53 of the electrostatic dust removal module 5 is inserted outside the through hole 1411, and the spring 73 of the plug-in connector 7 located outside the air outlet frame 1 is stopped.

[0077] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, the housing 71 further includes a sealing cover 711, which further ensures the sealing of the housing 71 to the plug-in body, thereby further improving the safety of the air treatment device.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, the power supply device 6 and the connector 7 are connected by wires, and the air outlet frame 1 has a first wire hole 1412 (not shown in the figure) for the wire to pass through. Thus, the electrical connection between the power supply device 6 and the connector 7 is achieved through the wire. At the same time, since the connector 7 is located outside the air outlet frame 1 and the power supply device 6 is located inside the air outlet frame 1, the power supply device 6 and the connector 7 are connected by wires through the first wire hole 1412 provided on the air outlet frame 1 for the wire to pass through.

[0079] Furthermore, if Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the housing 71 of the connector 7 has a second wire-passing hole 712 , whereby the wire connected to the power supply device 6 passes through the first wire-passing hole 1412 and the second wire-passing hole 712 in sequence to achieve connection with the connector 7 .

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the electrostatic precipitator module 5 and the connector 7 are sequentially arranged in the direction from the plasma module 2 to the power supply device 6. Thus, such a layout effectively shortens the distance between the connector 7 and the power supply device 6, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the connector 7 and the power supply device 6. For example, when the connector 7 and the power supply device 6 are connected via a wire, the layout in which the electrostatic precipitator module 5 and the connector 7 are sequentially arranged in the direction from the plasma module 2 to the power supply device 6 effectively shortens the length of the wire, reduces costs, and improves reliability.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the plasma module 2 and the power supply device 6 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the airflow. Thus, such an arrangement facilitates the airflow to flow through the plasma module 2 and the power supply device 6, thereby reducing the resistance of the plasma module 2 and the power supply device 6 to the airflow. At the same time, the electrostatic precipitator module 5 and the connector 7 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the flow of the airflow, thereby reducing the resistance of the electrostatic precipitator module 5 and the connector 7 to the airflow.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet frame 1 is provided with a drawer port 1422 connected to the first air duct 11, and the electrostatic dust removal module 5 is detachably arranged in the first air duct 11 through the drawer port 1422. Thus, the electrostatic dust removal module 5 is detachably arranged in the first air duct 11, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the electrostatic dust removal module 5, thereby facilitating the cleaning or replacement of the electrostatic dust removal module 5, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty of the air treatment module 100.

[0083] Furthermore, the through hole 1411 and the pull-out opening 1422 are arranged relative to each other, so that when the electrostatic dust removal module 5 is placed into the first air duct 11 through the pull-out opening 1422, the plug 53 of the electrostatic dust removal module 5 can pass through the through hole 1411 and stop against the spring piece 73 of the plug-in component, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the plug-in component and the electrostatic dust removal module 5, so as to enable the power supply device 6 to provide high voltage electricity to the electrostatic dust removal module 5.

[0084] Furthermore, if Figure 5As shown, the electrostatic dust removal module 5 includes a second support frame 51, an electrostatic dust removal net 52 and a plug 53. The electrostatic dust removal net and the plug 53 are arranged on the second support frame 51, the plug 53 and the electrostatic dust removal net 52 are electrically connected, and the second support frame 51 is detachably arranged in the first air duct 11 through the pull-out opening 1422. Thus, in the process of the power supply device 6 supplying power to the electrostatic dust removal module 5, the high voltage electricity output by the power supply device 6 is first transmitted to the plug-in body 72, and the plug-in body 72 transmits the high voltage electricity to the plug 53 of the electrostatic dust removal module 5 through the spring 73, and the plug 53 then transmits the high voltage electricity to the electrostatic dust removal net 52, thereby realizing the power supply device 6 supplying power to the electrostatic dust removal module 5. The second support frame 51 can play a certain role in fixing and protecting the electrostatic dust removal net 52 and the plug 53, thereby extending the service life of the air treatment module 100.

[0085] It should be noted that the specific form in which the second support frame 51 is detachably arranged in the first air duct 11 through the draw-out opening 1422 is not limited here, as long as the second support frame 51 can be located in the first air duct 11 or extended out of the first air duct 11. For example, the second support frame 51 and the air outlet frame 1 are pulled together through a draw-out guide rail, and the draw-out guide rail includes a first guide rail installed in the first air duct 11, a second guide rail installed on the outer peripheral wall of the second support frame 51, and an intermediate guide rail movably arranged between the second guide rail and the first guide rail. Or, a draw-out member extending along the draw-out direction is provided in the air outlet frame 1, and the draw-out member has a draw-out groove, and the outer peripheral wall of the second support frame 51 has a draw-out protrusion that cooperates with the draw-out groove.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the air treatment module 100 further includes a first support frame 8. The first support frame 8 is disposed in the first air duct 11, and the plasma and power supply device 6 is disposed on the first support frame 8. Thus, through such an arrangement, the plasma and power supply device 6 are located in the first air duct 11, and the first support frame 8 can play a certain role in fixing and protecting the plasma and power supply device 6, thereby extending the service life of the air treatment module 100.

[0087] Furthermore, the first support frame 8 has a third mounting hole, the air outlet frame 1 has a fourth mounting hole, and fasteners pass through the third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole to achieve the connection between the first support frame 8 and the air outlet frame 1, so that the first support frame 8 is arranged in the first air duct 11.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7As shown, the first support frame 8 has a partition 81, and the partition 81 is located between the plasma module 2 and the power supply device 6. Therefore, the plasma module 2 and the power supply device 6 are separated by the partition 81, which effectively avoids mutual interference between the plasma module 2 and the power supply device 6, and improves the safety and reliability of the air treatment module 100.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the air processing module 100 further includes a fan assembly 4. The fan assembly 4 is disposed in the first air duct 11, and is used to drive the airflow from the first inlet 15 to the outlet 16. Along the airflow direction, the fan assembly 4 is located upstream of the plasma module 2. In the direction perpendicular to the airflow direction, one end of the plasma module 2 facing the fan assembly 4 is inclined relative to the other end of the plasma module 2 toward a direction away from the fan assembly 4.

[0090] Thus, when the air treatment module 100 is in operation, the air enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15 through the fan assembly 4, and is blown to the space where the air treatment module 100 is located from the outlet 16 after passing through the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic dust removal module 5 in sequence. At the same time, the fan assembly 4 is located upstream of the plasma module 2, which effectively avoids the plasma module 2 ionizing to generate plasma and affects the performance of the fan assembly 4, thereby improving the service life of the fan assembly 4, and further improving the reliability of the air treatment module 100. In addition, in the direction perpendicular to the air flow, the end of the plasma module 2 facing the fan assembly 4 is tilted relative to the other end of the plasma module 2 in a direction away from the fan assembly 4, thereby reducing the wind resistance of the plasma module 2 to the fan assembly 4, thereby reducing the power of the fan assembly 4, reducing costs, and improving product competitiveness.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the air outlet bracket 14 includes an air outlet body 142 and a rear cover 141 connected to each other, the air outlet body 142 and the rear cover 141 define a second sub-air duct 1413, the air outlet body 142 has a pull-out port 1422, an air inlet 1421 and an outlet 16, the plasma module 2 and the electrostatic dust removal module 2 are located in the second sub-air duct 1413, the rear cover 141 has a through hole 1411 opposite to the connector 7 and a first wire hole 1412 for the wire to pass through, the power supply device 6 and The plug connector 7 is connected by a wire, the shell 71 of the plug connector 7 is connected to the back cover 141, the plug body 72 is located in the shell 71, the plug body 72 is electrically connected to the power supply device 6, the spring 73 is arranged on the side of the shell 71 close to the electrostatic dust removal module 5, the spring 73 is arranged on the side of the shell 71 close to the electrostatic dust removal module 5, the plug 53 of the electrostatic dust removal module 5 is penetrated in the through hole 1411 and abuts against one end of the spring 73, and the other end of the spring 73 is electrically connected to the plug body 72. Thus, the high voltage electricity output by the power supply device 6 is transmitted to the plug body 72 through the wire, and the plug body 72 then transmits the high voltage electricity to the plug 53 of the electrostatic dust removal module 5 through the spring 73, so that the power supply device 6 supplies power to the electrostatic dust removal module 5.

[0092] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Fig.14 As shown, the air processing module also includes a power cord channel component 9, and the back cover 141 has an installation groove for installing the power cord channel component 9. The air processing module 100 is connected to the external power supply through a wire, and the wire passes through the channel of the power cord channel component 9, thereby ensuring the safety of the air processing module 100.

[0093] The present invention further provides an air conditioner 1000 having the air processing module 100 of the above embodiment.

[0094] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 200 , a heat exchange component and the above-mentioned air processing module 100 .

[0095] Specifically, the housing 200 can protect the internal structure of the air conditioner 1000 and prevent the internal structure of the air conditioner 1000 from being exposed and damaged, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the air conditioner 1000 and has a better appearance.

[0096] Furthermore, the housing 200 includes a panel assembly 201, a top cover 202, a chassis component 203, a rear box component 204 and a heat exchange frame component (not shown in the figure), and the panel assembly 201 includes an upper panel 2011 and a lower panel 2012, and the upper panel 2011 is connected to the lower panel 2012, which is conducive to reducing the production cost and maintenance cost of the air conditioner 1000. Furthermore, part of the rear box component 204 is connected to the lower panel 2012, and part of it is connected to the heat exchange frame component, and the ends of the rear box component 204 and the lower panel 2012 away from the upper panel 2011 are both connected to the chassis component 203, and the top cover 202 is connected to the ends of the rear box component 204 and the heat exchange frame component away from the chassis component 203, thereby forming an integral structure, realizing the protection of the internal structure of the air conditioner 1000, and preventing the user from contacting the interior and causing harm.

[0097] Furthermore, the housing 200 has a first air inlet 2041, a second air inlet 2042, a first air outlet, a second air outlet 2043 and a second air duct. The first air inlet 2041 is disposed on the rear box component 204 and along the length direction of the rear box component 204 (see attached Figure 1 The first air outlet is provided on the heat exchange frame component and extends along the length direction of the air conditioner 1000. The first air inlet 2041 and the first air outlet are connected to the second air duct. The airflow outside the air conditioner 1000 can enter the second air duct through the first air inlet 2041 and then be blown into the room through the first air outlet.

[0098] Furthermore, an air inlet grille is provided at the first air inlet 2041. On the one hand, the air inlet grille can prevent hands or other foreign objects from entering the interior of the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the safety of the user and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 1000. On the other hand, the air inlet grille can prevent insects, mice and the like from entering the shell 200 of the air conditioner 1000 and causing damage to the air conditioner 1000, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 1000 and ensuring the beautiful appearance of the air conditioner 1000.

[0099] Optionally, the air inlet grille is detachably connected to the rear box component 204. The air inlet grille can ensure the beautiful appearance of the shell 200. After the air inlet grille is removed, it is convenient to repair and replace components in the air conditioner 1000. It is also convenient to clean the air inlet grille, thereby avoiding dust accumulation on the air inlet grille due to long-term use.

[0100] Furthermore, the heat exchange component and the heat exchange fan component 4 are arranged in the second air duct. The heat exchange fan component 4 can drive the airflow outside the air conditioner 1000 to enter the second air duct through the first air inlet 2041. The airflow in the second air duct can exchange heat with the heat exchange component. The airflow after heat exchange can be blown into the room through the first air outlet, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the indoor temperature and meeting the user's usage needs.

[0101] Optionally, the air inlet grille can be arranged relative to the heat exchange assembly and the heat exchange fan assembly 4, so that the heat exchange fan assembly 4 drives the airflow outside the air conditioner 1000 to enter the second air duct through the air inlet grille, making the airflow flow smoother, increasing the air intake volume, improving the air intake efficiency of the heat exchange fan assembly 4, reducing the noise during the operation of the air conditioner 1000, and improving the performance and comfort of the air conditioner 1000. Preferably, the heat exchange assembly is arranged upstream of the heat exchange fan assembly 4 along the flow direction of the airflow.

[0102] Optionally, at least one of a purification component and a humidification component may be provided in the second air duct, and different components may be selected according to different actual needs to meet different usage requirements. The purification component can purify the airflow entering the second air duct, so that the purified airflow is blown into the room to improve the air quality; the humidification component can humidify the airflow entering the second air duct, so that the humidified airflow is blown into the room, increasing the water vapor content in the room and achieving a humidification effect in the room.

[0103] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the air treatment module 100 is arranged in the housing 200, the second air inlet 2042 is connected to the first inlet 15, the second air outlet 2043 is connected to the outlet 16, and the second air inlet 2042 is connected to the indoor environment, so that the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 can be processed. Thus, the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located is connected to the indoor environment through the second air inlet 2042, and the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15 through the second air inlet 2042, and the air is ionized by the plasma module 2 to generate plasma, thereby killing bacteria in the first air duct 11, so that the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15 and is sterilized by the plasma module 2 and then blown out through the outlet 16, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air blown out from the outlet 16, and then improving the air quality of the space where the air treatment module 100 is located.

[0104] At the same time, since the number of negative ions generated by the plasma module 2 is greater than the number of positive ions, the negative ions that are not neutralized with the positive ions flow along the air flow direction from the outlet 16 to the indoor space where the air treatment module 100 is located. As the air treatment module 100 continues to operate, the negative ions will re-enter the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15. By arranging the grounded metal part 3 upstream of the plasma module 2, the negative ions are neutralized by the metal part 3 when passing through the metal part 3, thereby effectively avoiding the backflow of negative ions from affecting the performance of electrical components in the first air duct 11, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the air treatment module 100.

[0105] Furthermore, the housing 200 is provided with a third air inlet, which is connected to the second inlet 17, and the third air inlet is connected to the outdoor environment. Therefore, when the second inlet 17 is connected to the first air duct 11, when the air treatment module 100 is in operation, the outdoor air flows through the third air inlet from the second inlet 17 into the first air duct 11, and after being sterilized by the plasma module 2, it is blown from the outlet 16 to the space where the air treatment module 100 is located, thereby realizing the fresh air function of the air treatment module 100.

[0106] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiment of the present invention, an air treatment module 100 is provided, an air outlet frame 1 has a first air duct 11 and a first inlet 15 and an outlet 16 connected to the first air duct 11, the first inlet 15 is connected to the indoor environment, a plasma module 2 is provided in the first air duct 11, and the plasma module 2 is used to generate plasma in the first air duct 11, so that the air in the room where the air treatment module 100 is located enters the first air duct 11 from the first inlet 15 and is blown out through the outlet 16 after being sterilized by the plasma module 2, thereby improving the cleanliness of the air, and further improving the air quality of the space where the air treatment module 100 is located. At the same time, the metal part 3 is grounded, and the metal part 3 is provided in the first air duct 11 and connected to the air outlet frame 1, so that the negative ions are neutralized when passing through the metal part 3, thereby effectively avoiding the negative ions flowing back from affecting the performance of the electrical components in the first air duct 11, and improving the reliability and service life of the air treatment module 100.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second air duct and the air treatment module 100 are spaced apart in the length direction of the shell 200 (refer to the up and down direction shown in the accompanying drawings), which can avoid the airflow in the second air duct from mixing with the airflow in the air treatment module 100, resulting in poor effect of the air conditioner 1000 in regulating the indoor temperature or exchanging fresh air.
