[0052] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0053] The fan assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, the fan assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10 , a wind wheel 21 and a motor 22 .
[0055] The shell 10 defines a accommodating chamber 13, an air inlet channel 14 and an air outlet channel 15. The accommodating chamber 13 is connected between the air inlet channel 14 and the air outlet channel 15. The wind wheel 21 is rotatably disposed in the accommodating chamber 13. The motor 22 is connected to the wind wheel 21 to drive the wind wheel 21 to rotate. When the wind wheel 21 rotates, the wind wheel 21 can drive the air to enter the accommodating chamber 13 along the air inlet channel 14, and drive the air in the accommodating chamber 13 to enter the air outlet channel 15. The air in the accommodating chamber 13 flows to the designated area along the air outlet channel 15 to guide the air to the designated area.
[0056] In the air flow direction, at least a portion of the air outlet channel 15 is a bent air outlet section 151 , which can extend the length of the air outlet channel 15 and extend the air flow time in the air outlet channel 15 .
[0057] Specifically, the noise generated at the wind wheel 21 in the fan assembly is relatively large. Since the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 is connected to the designated area, the noise generated at the wind wheel 21 needs to pass through the air outlet channel 15 and be transmitted from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 to the designated area. By increasing the length of the air outlet channel 15, it is convenient to extend the time that the sound passes through the air outlet channel 15, thereby consuming the energy in the sound to reduce the noise transmitted by the wind wheel 21 to the designated area.
[0058] The fan assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention prolongs the time for sound to be transmitted in the air outlet channel 15 by extending the length of the air outlet channel 15, so as to consume the energy in the sound and thereby reduce the noise transmitted to the designated area.
[0059] The fan assembly according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 As shown, the fan assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 10 , a wind wheel 21 and a motor 22 .
[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the wall portion defining the air outlet channel 15 includes a first side wall 111 and a second side wall 112 that are relatively arranged, and at least one of the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 includes a bending section. The bending section is provided to extend the length of the air outlet channel 15, thereby extending the path of air flowing in the air outlet channel 15, and extending the time that sound passes through the air outlet channel 15, thereby consuming the energy in the sound to reduce the noise transmitted by the wind wheel 21 to the designated area.
[0062] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the first side wall 111 includes a first bending section 1111, and the second side wall 112 includes a second bending section 1121. The first bending section 1111 and the second bending section 1121 are arranged relative to each other and have the same bending direction. Under the premise that the size of the air outlet channel 15 does not suddenly increase or decrease, the first bending section 1111 and the second bending section 1121 are utilized to extend the length of the air outlet channel 15, so as to extend the time that the sound passes through the air outlet channel 15, thereby consuming the energy in the sound to reduce the noise transmitted by the wind wheel 21 to the designated area.
[0063] Specifically, the first bending section 1111 and the second bending section 1121 are arranged relative to each other and have the same bending direction, so as to avoid a sudden increase or decrease in the size of the air outlet channel 15, avoid turbulence in the flow of air, avoid the formation of vortices in the air outlet channel 15, and affect the normal flow of air in the air outlet channel 15.
[0064] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 are arranged relative to each other in the axial direction of the wind wheel 21, and the air outlet channel 15 is bent along the axial direction of the wind wheel 21, thereby extending the length of the air outlet channel 15, extending the path of air flowing in the air outlet channel 15, and extending the time for sound to pass through the air outlet channel 15, thereby consuming the energy in the sound to reduce the noise transmitted by the wind wheel 21 to the designated area.
[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in the present embodiment, the axial direction of the wind wheel 21 extends in the left-right direction, the first side wall 111 is the left side wall of the air outlet channel 15, and the second side wall 112 is the right side wall of the air outlet channel 15. The first side wall 111 and the second side wall 112 are both bent to the right to form a bent air outlet section 151, thereby extending the length of the air outlet channel 15, extending the path of air flowing in the air outlet channel 15, and extending the time that sound passes through the air outlet channel 15, thereby consuming the energy in the sound to reduce the noise transmitted to the designated area by the wind wheel 21.
[0066] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Fig. 9 As shown, the shell 10 further defines a first sound absorbing chamber 16 and a second sound absorbing chamber 17, which are located on opposite sides of the air outlet channel 15, and the first sound absorbing chamber 16 and the second sound absorbing chamber 17 are both connected to the air outlet channel 15, and sound absorbing members 50 are provided in the first sound absorbing chamber 16 and the second sound absorbing chamber 17. The vibration in the air outlet channel 15 can enter the first sound absorbing chamber 16 and the second sound absorbing chamber 17, and the sound absorbing members 50 in the first sound absorbing chamber 16 and the second sound absorbing chamber 17 can buffer the vibration in the air, thereby absorbing the sound in the air outlet channel 15, performing noise reduction treatment on the air outlet channel 15, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15, and reducing the noise transmitted to the designated area.
[0067] Among them, at least a part of the air outlet channel 15 is a bent air outlet section 151, and the length of the air outlet channel 15 is extended. When the sound absorbing member 50 is arranged in the first sound absorbing cavity 16 and the second sound absorbing cavity 17, it is convenient to increase the contact area between the sound absorbing member 50 and the first side wall 111, and increase the contact area between the sound absorbing member 50 and the second side wall 112, so as to increase the sound absorbing member 50's ability to absorb sound in the air outlet channel 15, so as to enable the sound absorbing member 50 to fully absorb the sound in the air outlet channel 15, so as to fully perform noise reduction treatment on the air outlet channel 15, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15, and reducing the noise transmitted to the designated area.
[0068] In addition, the sound absorbing member 50 is disposed in the first sound absorbing cavity 16 and the second sound absorbing cavity 17, and the position of the sound absorbing member 50 is limited by the first sound absorbing cavity 16 and the second sound absorbing cavity 17, so as to prevent the sound absorbing member 50 from entering the air outlet channel 15 and affecting the flow speed and flow direction of the air in the air outlet channel 15, thereby facilitating the stable flow of air in the air outlet channel 15.
[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Fig.13 As shown, the first side wall 111 separates the air outlet channel 15 and the first sound absorbing chamber 16, and the first side wall 111 is provided with a plurality of first air holes 1112, the first air holes 1112 connect the first sound absorbing chamber 16 with the air outlet channel 15, and the vibration in the air outlet channel 15 can enter the first sound absorbing chamber 16 through the first air holes 1112, so that the sound absorbing member 50 in the first sound absorbing chamber 16 can buffer the vibration, absorb the sound in the air outlet channel 15, perform noise reduction treatment on the air outlet channel 15, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15, and reducing the noise transmitted to the designated area.

[0071] The second side wall 112 separates the air outlet channel 15 from the second sound absorbing chamber 17 and is provided with a plurality of second air holes 1122 on the second side wall 112. The second air holes 1122 connect the second sound absorbing chamber 17 with the air outlet channel 15. The vibration in the air outlet channel 15 can enter the second sound absorbing chamber 17 through the second air holes 1122, so that the sound absorbing member 50 in the second sound absorbing chamber 17 can buffer the vibration, absorb the sound in the air outlet channel 15, perform noise reduction treatment on the air outlet channel 15, thereby reducing the noise transmitted from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 and reducing the noise transmitted to the designated area.
[0072] The second side wall 112 is used to separate the second sound absorbing chamber 17 and the air outlet channel 15. When the sound absorbing member 50 is disposed in the second sound absorbing chamber 17, the second side wall 112 has a second bent section 1121, so that the contact area between the sound absorbing member 50 and the second side wall 112 is increased, so that the sound absorbing member 50 can fully reduce the noise of the air in the air outlet channel 15.

[0092] In some embodiments, the first sound insulation cover 181 is arranged on the left side of the first volute 116, and the first sound insulation cover 181 and the first volute 116 define a first sound absorption chamber 16. The upper end and the lower end of the left side of the first volute 116 are both provided with a first limiting step 1161, and the upper end and the lower end of the right side of the first sound insulation cover 181 are both provided with a first matching step 1811. When the first volute 116 and the first sound insulation cover 181 are installed together, the first matching step 1811 is stopped and matched with the first limiting step 1161 to limit the position of the first sound insulation cover 181 relative to the first volute 116 in the left and right directions and the up and down directions, so as to determine the relative position of the first volute 116 and the first sound insulation cover 181, so as to quickly and accurately install the first volute 116 and the first sound insulation cover 181 together.
[0093] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, one of the second sound insulation cover 182 and the second volute 117 has a second limiting step 1171 surrounding the second sound absorption chamber 17, and the other of the second sound insulation cover 182 and the second volute 117 has a second matching step 1821, and the second matching step 1821 matches with the second limiting step 1171 to confirm the relative position of the second sound insulation cover 182 and the second volute 117 through the second limiting step 1171 and the second matching step 1821, so that the second sound insulation cover 182 and the second volute 117 can be quickly assembled together.
[0094] In some embodiments, the second sound insulation cover 182 is arranged on the right side of the second volute 117, and the second sound insulation cover 182 and the second volute 117 define a second sound absorption chamber 17.

When the first volute 116 and the second volute 117 are installed together, the step portion 1164 and the step matching portion 1174 are stopped and matched to limit the position of the second volute 117 relative to the first volute 116 in the left-right direction and the up-down direction, so as to determine the relative position of the first volute 116 and the second volute 117, so as to quickly and accurately install the first volute 116 and the second volute 117 together.
[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the housing 10 further includes an air inlet shell 19 . The air inlet shell 19 and the first sound insulation cover 181 are both arranged on the outside of the first volute 116 , and the air inlet shell 19 and the first volute 116 define an air inlet channel 14 .
[0097] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first sound insulation cover 181 and the air inlet shell 19 are both arranged on the left side of the first volute 116, the air inlet shell 19 is located below the first sound insulation cover 181, the first sound insulation cover 181 and the first volute 116 define a first sound absorption chamber 16, the first sound absorption chamber 16 is located on the left side of the air outlet channel 15, the air inlet shell 19 and the first volute 116 define an air inlet channel 14, and the air inlet channel 14 is located on the left side of the accommodating chamber 13.
[0098] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall surface of the air inlet channel 14 facing the accommodating chamber 13 includes a first wall surface 143 and a second wall surface 144, the first wall surface 143 and the inlet of the accommodating chamber 13 are at least partially staggered, and the second wall surface 144 is arranged opposite to the inlet of the accommodating chamber 13, and the second wall surface 144 is connected to the downstream of the first wall surface 143 in the airflow direction, and the second wall surface 144 is along the axial direction of the wind wheel 21, and the second wall surface 144 extends obliquely from the first wall surface 143 toward the accommodating chamber 13 in the direction away from the first wall surface 143, so that the air in the air inlet channel 14 is guided by the second wall surface 144, so that the air can smoothly flow to the inlet of the accommodating chamber 13 along the second wall surface 144, so that the air in the air inlet channel 14 can quickly enter the accommodating chamber 13 from the inlet of the accommodating chamber 13, so as to ensure the orderly flow of air in the air inlet channel 14, and to reduce the formation of vortices in the air inlet channel 14, which is convenient for improving the flow rate of air on the one hand, and for reducing the generation of noise in the air inlet channel 14 on the other hand.
[0099] like Figure 6As shown, in the present embodiment, the axial direction of the wind wheel 21 extends in the left-right direction, and the left inner wall surface of the air inlet channel 14 includes a first wall surface 143 and a second wall surface 144, the first wall surface 143 extends in the up-down direction, the left end of the second wall surface 144 is connected to the upper end of the first wall surface 143, and the second wall surface 144 extends upward from left to right, so that the air in the air inlet channel 14 can gradually flow rightward and upward along the second wall surface 144 into the accommodating chamber 13 (it should be understood here that the above-mentioned direction limitation is only for the convenience of describing the accompanying drawings, and will not limit the actual setting position and direction of the fresh air module 8 of the air conditioner), so as to ensure the orderly flow of air in the air inlet channel 14 and reduce the formation of vortices in the air inlet channel 14, which is convenient for increasing the flow rate of air on the one hand, and reducing the generation of noise in the air inlet channel 14 on the other hand.
[0100] In some embodiments, the air inlet housing 19 and the first sound insulation cover 181 are integrally formed, which makes it easy to reduce the number of parts of the fan assembly and reduce the complexity of the fan assembly structure. The first sound insulation cover 181 and the air inlet housing 19 can be installed directly at the same time, so that the first sound insulation cover 181 and the first volute 116 define a sound absorption cavity, and the air inlet housing 19 and the first volute 116 define an air inlet channel 14.
[0101] In some embodiments of the invention, Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet channel 15 includes a first air outlet section 152. In the air flow direction, the first air outlet section 152 is located downstream of the bent air outlet section 151 and its cross-section gradually increases. This is convenient for increasing the area of the outlet of the air outlet channel 15. On the one hand, it is convenient to reduce the resistance encountered by the air flowing in the air outlet channel 15, so that the air in the air outlet channel 15 can flow stably to the designated area. On the other hand, it is convenient to expand the air outlet area, so that the air in the air outlet channel 15 can flow evenly to the designated area.
[0102] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet channel 15 also includes a second air outlet section 153. In the air flow direction, the second air outlet section 153 is located upstream of the bent air outlet section 151 and forms a straight structure. The two ends of the bent air outlet section 151 are respectively connected to the first air outlet section 152 and the second air outlet section 153 by arc transition. That is to say, the air entering the air outlet channel 15 from the accommodating cavity 13 first passes through the second air outlet section 153 and then enters the bent air outlet section 151, and flows through the bent air outlet section 151 along the first air outlet section 152 to the designated area.
[0103] The second air outlet section 153 is a straight air outlet section, so that when the air just enters the air outlet channel 15, the straight air outlet section can be used to guide the flow of air, thereby reducing the resistance encountered by the air when entering the air outlet channel 15, avoiding air turbulence at the inlet of the air outlet channel 15, so that the air can enter the air outlet channel 15 smoothly and quickly.
[0104] The two ends of the bent air outlet section 151 are connected to the first air outlet section 152 and the second air outlet section 153 by arc transition, so that the air can flow smoothly into the bent air outlet section 151 along the second air outlet section 153, and the air in the bent air outlet section 151 can flow smoothly into the first air outlet section 152, avoiding air gathering at the connection between the second air outlet section 153 and the bent air outlet section 151, and avoiding air gathering at the connection between the bent air outlet section 151 and the first air outlet section 152.
[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, the accommodating cavity 13 and the air outlet channel 15 are arranged in the first direction, the shell 10 has a third side wall 113 and a fourth side wall 114 arranged relatively in the second direction, the first direction, the second direction and the axial direction of the wind wheel 21 are perpendicular to each other, and the shell 10 has a partition 117, which extends from the third side wall 113 to the fourth side wall 114, the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 is arranged on the third side wall 113, and the inlet of the air outlet channel 15 is located between the partition 117 and the fourth side wall 114. This arrangement facilitates increasing the length of the air outlet channel 15.
[0106] Specifically, the noise generated at the wind wheel 21 in the fan assembly is relatively large. Since the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 is connected to the designated area, the noise generated at the wind wheel 21 needs to pass through the air outlet channel 15 and be transmitted from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 to the designated area. By setting the inlet of the air outlet channel 15 away from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 and increasing the length of the air outlet channel 15, it is convenient to extend the time that the sound passes through the air outlet channel 15, thereby consuming the energy in the sound to reduce the noise transmitted by the wind wheel 21 to the designated area.
[0107] like Figure 8 As shown, in the present embodiment, the first direction extends in the up-down direction, the air outlet channel 15 is arranged above the accommodating cavity 13, the second direction extends in the front-to-back direction, the third side wall 113 is the front side wall of the shell 10, the fourth side wall 114 is the rear side wall of the shell 10, the rear end of the partition 117 and the rear side wall of the shell 10 define the inlet of the air outlet channel 15, the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 is arranged on the front side wall of the shell 10, and the air in the air outlet channel 15 flows forward in the front-to-back direction to the designated area.
[0108] In some embodiments, the distance between one end of the partition 117 close to the fourth side wall 114 and the fourth side wall 114 is smaller than the distance between one end of the partition 117 close to the fourth side wall 114 and the third side wall 113, so that the inlet of the air outlet channel 15 is set at a position close to the fourth side wall 114. Since the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 is located on the third side wall 113, the inlet of the air outlet channel 15 can be set away from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15.
[0109] Specifically, the noise generated at the wind wheel 21 is relatively large, and the inlet of the air outlet channel 15 is arranged away from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15. The noise at the wind wheel 21 needs to pass through the air outlet channel 15 before being transmitted to the designated area. This makes it easier to reduce the noise transmitted from the wind wheel 21 to the designated area.
[0110] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8 As shown, a plurality of guide plates 41 are provided in the air outlet channel 15, and the plurality of guide plates 41 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the air outlet channel 15, so as to utilize the plurality of guide plates 41 to fully guide the flow direction of the air in the air outlet channel 15, thereby avoiding the formation of vortices in the air outlet channel 15 due to insufficient guidance of the air by the guide plates 41.
[0111] like Figure 8 As shown, in the present embodiment, the width of the air outlet channel 15 extends in the up-down direction (it should be understood here that the above-mentioned direction limitation is only for the convenience of describing the accompanying drawings and will not limit the actual setting position and direction of the fan assembly), and a plurality of guide plates 41 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction. Driven by the wind wheel 21, the air in the accommodating chamber 13 enters the air outlet channel 15 from the inlet of the air outlet channel 15. At this time, the plurality of guide plates 41 can jointly guide the air entering the air outlet channel 15, thereby facilitating the improvement of the air guiding efficiency and preventing the air entering the air outlet channel 15 from gathering in a certain place and affecting the flow of air in the air outlet channel 15.
[0112] In some embodiments, Figure 8 As shown, the guide plate 41 is formed as an arc-shaped plate extending along the circumference of the wind wheel 21, the first end of the guide plate 41 is bent in the direction close to the wind wheel 21, and the second end of the guide plate 41 extends in the direction of the diverter, so that when the wind wheel 21 drives the air in the accommodating chamber 13 to enter the air outlet channel 15 from the inlet of the air outlet channel 15, the first end of the guide plate 41 can control the flow direction of the air, so that the air can flow along the guide plate 41 to the diverter, and then the air can flow smoothly from the outlet of the air outlet channel 15 to the designated area along the diverter.
[0113] The fresh air module 8 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention is described below. The fresh air module 8 of the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a fan assembly and a filter 82 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.
[0114] The entrance of the air inlet channel 14 is the fresh air inlet, and the filter element 82 is arranged in the air inlet channel 14. The filter element 82 can filter the air passing through the filter element 82 in the air inlet channel 14, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the accommodating chamber 13, preventing unclean air from polluting the wind wheel 21 in the accommodating chamber 13, and thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the air in the air outlet channel 15 to provide clean air to the designated area.
[0115] In some embodiments, the fresh air inlet includes a first fresh air inlet 811 and a second fresh air inlet 812. The first fresh air inlet 811 and the second fresh air inlet 812 are both connected to the air outlet channel 15. The first fresh air inlet 811 is connected to the indoor, and the second fresh air inlet 812 is connected to the outdoor.
[0116] A valve 62 and a motor unit 61 are also provided in the housing 10 . The motor unit 61 cooperates with the valve 62 to control the movement of the valve 62 so that the valve 62 can switch between connecting the first fresh air inlet 811 and the air inlet channel 14 or connecting the second fresh air inlet 812 and the air inlet channel 14 .
[0117] When it is necessary to filter the indoor air, the valve 62 connects the first fresh air inlet 811 and the air inlet channel 14. At this time, the indoor air enters the air inlet channel 14 from the first fresh air inlet 811, and flows to the designated area along the air outlet channel 15 after being processed in the fan assembly. When it is necessary to introduce fresh air into the room, the valve 62 connects the second fresh air inlet 812 and the air inlet channel 14. At this time, the outdoor air enters the air inlet channel 14 from the second fresh air inlet 812, and flows to the designated area along the air outlet channel 15 after being processed in the fan assembly.
[0118] In some examples, the filter element 82 is placed obliquely in the air inlet channel 14, and the filter element 82 divides the air inlet channel 14 into a first air inlet chamber and a second air inlet chamber. The first air inlet chamber is connected to the fresh air inlet, and the second air inlet chamber is connected to the accommodating chamber 13. The air entering the first air inlet chamber from the fresh air inlet enters the second air inlet chamber after being filtered by the filter element 82, and enters the accommodating chamber 13 along the second air inlet chamber.
[0119] Among them, the filter element 82 is placed obliquely in the air inlet channel 14 to increase the contact area between the filter element 82 and the air in the first air inlet cavity, so as to improve the filtering efficiency of the filter element 82 on the air in the first air inlet cavity, so that the filter element 82 can fully and quickly filter the air in the first air inlet cavity.
[0120] In some examples, a side wall of the shell 10 is provided with an access port, which is connected to the air inlet channel 14 , and the filter 82 can be pulled out from the access port and disposed in the air inlet channel 14 to facilitate cleaning or replacement of the filter 82 .
