[0002] With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, various air conditioners have become one of the indispensable electrical appliances in people's daily life. Various air conditioners can lower or raise the ambient temperature when the ambient temperature is too high or too low, so that people can be in a more comfortable environment. However, in the process of using the air conditioner, the wind blown out by the air conditioner is obtained by heat exchange through the heat exchanger, especially in the cooling mode, the temperature of the heat-exchanged wind is low. When the heat-exchanged cold wind or hot wind is directly blown to the user, the user's body will feel uncomfortable, affecting the user's experience.
[0003] In the related art, an air conditioner indoor unit is disclosed, which includes a base, a shell, a heat exchanger, a heat exchange fan and an indoor air module. The base is provided with a heat exchange air outlet. The shell is mounted on the base and is provided with an indoor air suction port, a heat exchange air inlet and an indoor air outlet corresponding to the position of the heat exchange air outlet. The heat exchanger and the heat exchange fan are both mounted on the base and located in the shell. The indoor air module is mounted in the shell and has an indoor air inlet and an indoor air outlet. The indoor air inlet corresponds to the position of the indoor air suction port, and the indoor air outlet is located above the heat exchange air outlet and adjacent to the heat exchange air outlet. The indoor air flowing out of the indoor air outlet and the heat exchange air flowing out of the heat exchange air outlet are mixed and flow out of the indoor air outlet.

[0050] Embodiment one,
[0051] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present disclosure provides an air conditioner indoor unit, which comprises a shell 100, a cross-flow fan 200 and a mixed air fan 300. The cross-flow fan 200 is arranged in the shell 100, and the axial side wall of the cross-flow fan 200 is provided with an auxiliary air inlet 210 which is in communication with the inside of the cross-flow fan 200. The mixed air fan 300 is arranged in the shell 100, and the air outlet of the mixed air fan 300 is in communication with the auxiliary air inlet 210. The mixed air fan 300 can drive the indoor air to mix with the heat exchange air in the inside of the cross-flow fan 200.
[0052] In the present embodiment, the cross-flow fan 200 and the mixed air fan 300 are arranged in the shell 100. The cross-flow fan 200 can drive the heat exchange air to flow in the shell 100, and the mixed air fan 300 can drive the indoor air which has not been heat exchanged to flow into the shell 100. The axial side wall of the cross-flow fan 200 is provided with an auxiliary air inlet 210 which is in communication with the inside of the cross-flow fan 200. The air outlet of the mixed air fan 300 is in communication with the auxiliary air inlet 210. In this way, the indoor air which has not been heat exchanged can enter the auxiliary air inlet 210 under the driving of the mixed air fan 300, and flow into the inside of the cross-flow fan 200 to mix with the heat exchange air in the inside of the cross-flow fan 200. In this way, the heat exchange air and the indoor air are mixed to adjust the temperature of the air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit. Moreover, the air conditioner indoor unit comprises the cross-flow fan 200 and the mixed air fan 300, so that the air volume of the air conditioner indoor unit can be increased to transfer the cold or heat of the heat exchange air to more air. Thus, the temperature of the mixed air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit is increased or decreased, the temperature difference between the air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit and the indoor temperature is reduced, and the comfort of the user is improved.
[0053] The auxiliary air inlet 210 is arranged on the axial side wall of the cross-flow fan 200, and the indoor air driven by the air mixing fan 300 enters the cross-flow fan 200 along the axial direction of the cross-flow fan 200 through the auxiliary air inlet 210. The heat exchange air passes through the cross-flow fan 200 along the radial direction of the cross-flow fan 200, and the flow directions of the indoor air and the heat exchange air are different, so that the mixing effect of the indoor air and the heat exchange air can be improved during the mixing process. Therefore, the uniformity of the temperature of the mixed air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit is improved, and the user experience is improved.
[0054] Optionally, the shell 100 is configured with a heat exchange air duct 110, and the cross-flow fan 200 is arranged in the heat exchange air duct 110. The air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a heat exchanger 111 arranged in the heat exchange air duct 110, and the heat exchanger 111 and the cross-flow fan 200 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the air in the heat exchange air duct 110.
[0055] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 111 and the cross-flow fan 200 are arranged in the heat exchange air duct 110, and the heat exchanger 111 and the cross-flow fan 200 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the air in the heat exchange air duct 110. In this way, the air flowing into the cross-flow fan 200 is heat exchange air that has passed through the heat exchanger 111, so that the heat exchange air that has not passed through the heat exchanger 111 and is flowed in by the air mixing fan 300 can be mixed with the heat exchange air inside the cross-flow fan 200, thereby adjusting the temperature of the mixed air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit, reducing the temperature difference between the air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit and the indoor temperature, and improving the comfort of the user.

[0083] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 7 The air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a sealing device 500 arranged in the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120. In the case that the sealing device 500 opens the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120 is communicated with the heat exchange air channel 110. In the case that the sealing device 500 seals the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120 is disconnected with the heat exchange air channel 110.
[0084] In the embodiment, the sealing device 500 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, and the sealing device 500 can open or seal the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120. In the case that the sealing device 500 opens the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120 is communicated with the heat exchange air channel 110. The indoor air without heat exchange can enter the heat exchange air channel 110 through the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, so as to be mixed with the heat exchange air in the heat exchange air channel 110, thereby adjusting the temperature of the air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit, reducing the temperature difference between the air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit and the indoor temperature, and improving the comfort of the user.
[0085] In the case that the sealing device 500 seals the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, the indoor air cannot enter the heat exchange air channel 110 through the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, and the indoor air is not mixed with the heat exchange air, so that the air blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit is normal heat exchange air, thereby meeting the different air outlet requirements of the user.
[0086] For example, in the case that the temperature difference between the heat exchange air and the room temperature is less than a preset temperature difference, the sealing device 500 can seal the auxiliary air inlet air channel 120, so as to reduce the influence of the indoor air without heat exchange on the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0087] Exemplarily, the shell 100 comprises a duct shell and a volute 130, the duct shell defines a first air duct. The volute 130 is connected with the duct shell, the volute 130 defines a second air duct 132 and a third air duct 133, the second air duct 132 is arranged on an axial side wall of the volute 130, two ends of the third air duct 133 are respectively communicated with the first air inlet 112 and the air outlet 113 of the air conditioner, the auxiliary air inlet duct 120 comprises the first air duct and the second air duct 132, the heat exchange air duct 110 comprises the third air duct 133. In the case that the sealing device 500 opens the auxiliary air inlet duct 120, one end of the first air duct is communicated with the second air inlet, two ends of the second air duct 132 are respectively communicated with the other end of the first air duct and the third air duct 133. Wherein, the cross-flow fan 200 is located in the third air duct 133, and the sealing device 500 is arranged in the first air duct or the second air duct 132.
[0088] Optionally, the volute 130 comprises a first axial side wall 131, the first axial side wall 131 is arranged opposite to the side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210 provided with the cross-flow fan 200, and the first axial side wall 131 is configured with the second air duct 132.
[0089] In some optional embodiments, the sealing device 500 comprises a fixing member 510 and a sealing member 520, the fixing member 510 is connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet duct 120, and the fixing member 510 is provided with a ventilation port 511. The sealing member 520 is connected with the fixing member 510, and the sealing member 520 is capable of moving relative to the ventilation port 511 to open or seal the ventilation port 511.
[0090] With the optional embodiment, the fixing member 510 is connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet duct 120, and the sealing member 520 is connected with the fixing member 510, so that the sealing device 500 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet duct 120. The sealing member 520 is capable of moving relative to the ventilation port 511 to open or seal the ventilation port 511. In this way, in the case that the sealing member 520 opens the ventilation port 511, the indoor air which has not been heat exchanged can flow in the auxiliary air inlet duct 120 through the ventilation port 511, that is, the sealing device 500 opens the auxiliary air inlet duct 120. In the case that the sealing member 520 seals the ventilation port 511, the sealing member 520 blocks the flow of the indoor air, that is, the sealing device 500 seals the auxiliary air inlet duct 120.
[0091] Further, the fixing member 510 comprises a fixing shaft 512 and a fixing plate 513, the fixing shaft 512 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet duct 120. Along the radial direction of the fixing shaft 512, two ends of the fixing plate 513 are respectively connected with the outer side wall of the fixing shaft 512 and the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet duct 120, and the fixing plate 513 is configured with one or more ventilation ports 511. In the case that the number of the ventilation ports 511 is more than one, the plurality of ventilation ports 511 are arranged in the circumferential direction of the fixing shaft 512.
[0092] The sealing member 520 comprises a rotating plate 521 and sealing plates 522. The rotating plate 521 is annularly arranged and sleeved on the outer side of the fixed shaft 512, and the rotating plate 521 is rotationally connected with the fixed shaft 512. One end of each of the sealing plates 522 is connected with the rotating plate 521, the number of the sealing plates 522 is the same as that of the air vents 511 and each of the sealing plates 522 corresponds to one of the air vents 511, and each of the sealing plates 522 can rotate relative to the corresponding air vent 511 to open or seal the corresponding air vent 511.
[0093] In this embodiment, the rotating plate 521 is rotationally connected with the fixed shaft 512, and one end of each of the sealing plates 522 is connected with the rotating plate 521. Each of the sealing plates 522 can rotate synchronously with the rotating plate 521 relative to the corresponding air vent 511 to open or seal the corresponding air vent 511.
[0094] In some optional embodiments, the end of the rotating plate 521 is provided with an annular rack 5211, and the sealing device 500 further comprises a first driving assembly and a first gear 530. The first driving assembly is connected with the fixed shaft 512, the first gear 530 is connected with the driving end of the first driving assembly, and the first gear 530 is engaged with the annular rack 5211.
[0095] In this embodiment, the first driving assembly is connected with the fixed shaft 512 to fix the first driving assembly. The driving end of the first driving assembly is connected with the first gear 530, and the first driving assembly drives the first gear 530 to rotate. The first gear 530 is engaged with the annular rack 5211 of the rotating plate 521, and the rotation of the first gear 530 drives the rotation of the annular rack 5211 and thus drives the rotation of the rotating plate 521 relative to the fixed shaft 512. Each of the sealing plates 522 is connected with the rotating plate 521, and the rotating plate 521 rotates to drive the rotation of each of the sealing plates 522 relative to the corresponding air vent 511, thereby opening or closing the corresponding air vent 511.
[0096] When each of the sealing plates 522 opens the corresponding air vent 511, the sealing plate 522 is arranged to overlap the fixed plate 513 to expose the corresponding air vent 511, so that the corresponding air vent 511 can ventilate. When each of the sealing plates 522 seals the corresponding air vent 511, the sealing plate 522 covers the corresponding air vent 511 from above to shield the corresponding air vent 511 and seal the corresponding air vent 511.
[0097] Optionally, the width of each of the sealing plates 522 is greater than or equal to the width of the corresponding air vent 511. In this way, each of the sealing plates 522 can seal the corresponding air vent 511 when the sealing plate 522 moves to the position of the corresponding air vent 511, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing device 500 on the auxiliary air inlet duct 120.
[0098] In some optional embodiments, the fixed plate 513 comprises one or more sub-fixed plates, two ends of each sub-fixed plate are connected with the side wall of the fixed shaft 512 and the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet air duct 120, and when the number of the sub-fixed plates is more than one, the sub-fixed plates are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed shaft 512, and the adjacent two sub-fixed plates, the fixed shaft 512 and the auxiliary air inlet air duct 120 enclose the air vent 511.
[0099] In the embodiment, two ends of each sub-fixed plate are connected with the side wall of the fixed shaft 512 and the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet air duct 120, and the sub-fixed plates are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fixed shaft 512, so that the adjacent two sub-fixed plates, the outer side wall of the fixed shaft 512 and the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet air duct 120 enclose the air vent 511, so that the indoor air in the auxiliary air inlet air duct 120 can flow through the air vent 511 when passing through the sealing device 500.
[0100] Further, the width of the sealing plate 522 is less than or equal to the width of the corresponding sub-fixed plate, and the width of the air vent 511 is less than or equal to the width of the corresponding sub-fixed plate.
[0101] When the sealing plate 522 opens the air vent 511, the sealing plate 522 is arranged coincidentally with the corresponding sub-fixed plate, and the width of the sealing plate 522 is less than or equal to the width of the corresponding sub-fixed plate, so as to reduce the situation that the sealing plate 522 still blocks part of the air vent 511 when the air vent 511 is opened.
[0102] Embodiment two is different from embodiment one in that,
[0103] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 The driving end of the first driving motor 400 is connected with the cross-flow fan 200, and the mixed air fan 300 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet 210, and the mixed air fan 300 comprises a fan blade 320, and the end of the fan blade 320 is connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210.
[0104] In the optional embodiment, the mixing fan 300 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet 210, and the end of the fan blade 320 of the mixing fan 300 is connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210, so that the mixing fan 300 is connected with the cross-flow fan 200. When the cross-flow fan 200 rotates, the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210 can drive the fan blade 320 to rotate, that is, drive the mixing fan 300 to rotate. Thus, the indoor air that has not been heat-exchanged flows into the inside of the cross-flow fan 200 and mixes with the heat-exchanged air in the inside of the cross-flow fan 200. In this embodiment, the fan blade 320 of the mixing fan 300 is directly connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210, which reduces the use of connecting components, increases the connection stability of the mixing fan 300 and the cross-flow fan 200, reduces the production cost of the air conditioner indoor unit, and increases the working stability and reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0105] Optionally, the number of the fan blades 320 is multiple, and the mixing fan 300 further comprises a central shaft 330, and the start ends of the multiple fan blades 320 are connected with the circumferential side wall of the central shaft 330 along the circumference of the cross-flow fan 200.
[0106] Further, the ratio of the inner diameter of the auxiliary air inlet 210 to the outer diameter of the central shaft 330 ranges from 3 to 4. In this way, the outer diameter of the central shaft 330 is reduced, so that the area of the auxiliary air inlet 210 occupied by the central shaft 330 is reduced, the air volume of the indoor air flowing into the inside of the cross-flow fan 200 and the air volume of the air conditioner indoor unit are increased, and the temperature adjustment capability of the heat-exchanged air is improved.
[0107] In some optional embodiments, the extension length of the first end cover along the axial direction of the cross-flow fan 200 is greater than or equal to the length of the mixing fan 300.
[0108] In this embodiment, the first end cover is provided with the auxiliary air inlet 210, and the mixing fan 300 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet 210. The extension length of the first end cover is greater than or equal to the length of the mixing fan 300, that is, the extension length of the side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210 is greater than or equal to the length of the mixing fan 300. In this way, the mixing fan 300 can be located entirely in the auxiliary air inlet 210, the situation that the indoor air driven by the mixing fan 300 escapes from the auxiliary air inlet 210 is reduced, and the mixing air volume is increased.
[0109] Exemplarily, the extension length of the second end cover along the axial direction of the cross-flow fan 200 is less than the extension length of the first end cover.
[0110] In this embodiment, the second end cover is connected with the driving end of the first driving motor 400, and the extension length of the second end cover is less than the extension length of the first end cover, so that the space occupied by the second end cover is reduced, the compactness of the arrangement of the internal components of the air conditioner indoor unit is improved, and thus the volume and production cost of the air conditioner indoor unit are reduced.
[0111] Further, the first end of the fan blade 320 is arranged in sequence with the second end of the fan blade 320 along the rotation direction of the cross-flow fan 200. Wherein, the linear distance between the first end of the fan blade 320 and the impeller assembly 220 is less than the linear distance between the second end of the fan blade 320 and the impeller assembly 220 along the axial direction of the cross-flow fan 200.
[0112] In the embodiment, the linear distance between the first end of the fan blade 320 and the impeller assembly 220 is less than the linear distance between the second end of the fan blade 320 and the impeller assembly 220 along the axial direction of the cross-flow fan 200, and the fan blade 320 is arranged in an inclined manner. In this way, when the impeller rotates, the fan blade 320 rotates from the first end to the second end, and the fan blade 320 can drive the air to rotate from the second end to the first end along the fan blade 320, thereby driving the air flow, so that the indoor air enters the cross-flow fan 200 through the auxiliary air inlet 210.
[0113] The difference between the third embodiment and the first and second embodiments is that,
[0114] In some optional embodiments, as shown in Figures 9 to 11 The air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a second driving motor 410 and a third driving motor 420. The second driving motor 410 is connected with the cross-flow fan 200 to drive the cross-flow fan 200 to rotate; and the third driving motor 420 is connected with the mixed air fan 300 to drive the mixed air fan 300 to rotate.
[0115] With the optional embodiment, the second driving motor 410 can rotate synchronously with the third driving motor 420, so that the rotation speed of the cross-flow fan 200 is the same as the rotation speed of the mixed air fan 300, or the second driving motor 410 can rotate asynchronously with the third driving motor 420, so that the rotation speed of the cross-flow fan 200 is different from the rotation speed of the mixed air fan 300, thereby adjusting the ratio of the indoor air to the heat exchange air during the air mixing and the air volume of the air conditioner indoor unit. Similarly, the second driving motor 410 can rotate and the third driving motor 420 can not rotate, so that the indoor air without heat exchange cannot flow into the cross-flow fan 200, and the air mixing is not performed, so that the air conditioner indoor unit can normally blow air. In this way, the air conditioner indoor unit can have multiple air blowing modes to meet the multiple air blowing demands of the user and improve the user experience.
[0116] Further, the driving end of the second driving motor 410 is connected with the second end cover.
[0117] In some alternative embodiments, the indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a volute 130, with a cross-flow fan 200 disposed inside the volute 130. The first axial sidewall 131 of the volute 130 is disposed opposite to the auxiliary air inlet 210. The first axial sidewall 131 is provided with a mounting assembly 600, and a third drive motor 420 is connected to the mounting assembly 600. A second drive motor 410 is disposed on the second axial sidewall of the volute 130.
[0118] In this optional embodiment, the cross-flow fan 200 is disposed within the volute 130, so that a vortex can be formed inside the cross-flow fan 200 when it rotates, thereby driving the heat exchange airflow. The mixing fan 300 is disposed on the side of the cross-flow fan 200 where the auxiliary air inlet 210 is provided. The first axial sidewall 131 of the volute 130 is disposed opposite to the auxiliary air inlet 210, that is, the first axial sidewall 131 and the mixing fan 300 are disposed on the same side of the cross-flow fan 200. The first axial sidewall 131 is provided with a mounting assembly 600, and the third drive motor 420 is connected to the mounting assembly 600 to mount the third drive motor 420 on the first axial sidewall 131, thereby fixing the mixing fan 300.
[0119] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first axial sidewall 131 is provided with a second air duct 132, and the mixing fan 300 drives indoor air to enter the auxiliary air inlet 210 through the mixing air duct. The mounting assembly 600 includes a mounting plate 610 and a mounting protrusion 620. The mounting plate 610 is connected to the inner sidewall of the second air duct 132, and the mounting plate 610 is provided with a ventilation opening 611, which communicates with the second air duct 132. The mounting protrusion 620 is connected to the mounting plate 610, and a third drive motor 420 is located on the mounting protrusion 620.

The mounting plate 610 is connected to the inner wall of the second air duct 132, which can fix the mounting plate 610 in place. A mounting protrusion 620 is connected to the mounting plate 610, and a third drive motor 420 is mounted on the mounting protrusion 620 to fix the third drive motor 420 in place.
[0121] The mounting plate 610 is located inside the second air duct 132. The mounting plate 610 has a ventilation opening 611, which is connected to the second air duct 132. In this way, the indoor air flowing into the second air duct 132 can flow to the auxiliary air inlet 210 through the ventilation opening 611, so that the second air duct 132 can not only fix the mounting plate 610, but also provide ventilation.
[0122] The second air duct 132 can be coaxially arranged with the auxiliary air inlet 210, and the mounting plate 610 and the mounting protrusion 620 are arranged in the second air duct 132, so that the driving end of the third driving motor 420 is coaxially arranged with the cross-flow fan 200, and the mixed air fan 300 is coaxially arranged with the cross-flow fan 200.
[0123] Further, the third driving motor 420 is arranged on one side of the mounting plate 610, and the mixed air fan 300 is arranged on the other side of the mounting plate 610. The mounting plate 610 is provided with a through hole, and the driving end of the third driving motor 420 passes through the through hole to be connected with the connecting shaft 310, or the connecting shaft 310 passes through the through hole to be connected with the third driving motor 420.
[0124] In the optional embodiment, the third driving motor 420 and the mixed air fan 300 are arranged on the two sides of the mounting plate 610 respectively, the driving end of the third driving motor 420 passes through the through hole of the mounting plate 610 to be connected with the connecting shaft 310, and the driving end of the third driving motor 420 is rotationally connected with the through hole. The through hole can radially limit the driving end of the third driving motor 420, so as to reduce the radial swing of the mixed air fan 300 during rotation, and improve the working stability and reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0125] In the case that the connecting shaft 310 passes through the through hole to be connected with the third driving motor 420, the connecting shaft 310 is rotationally connected with the through hole, and the through hole can radially limit the connecting shaft 310, so as to reduce the radial swing of the mixed air fan 300 during rotation, and improve the working stability and reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0126] Optionally, the mounting protrusion 620 is connected with the side wall of the mounting plate 610 away from the auxiliary air inlet 210.
[0127] In the embodiment, the mounting protrusion 620 is connected with the side wall of the mounting plate 610 away from the auxiliary air inlet 210, the third driving motor 420 is connected with the mounting protrusion 620, and the third driving motor 420 and the mixed air fan 300 are arranged on the opposite sides of the mounting plate 610 respectively. That is, the mixed air fan 300 is arranged on the side of the mounting plate 610 facing the auxiliary air inlet 210.
[0128] The indoor air is first introduced into the mixed air duct under the driving of the mixed air fan 300, and then flows through the mixed air fan 300, and then flows into the cross-flow fan 200 through the auxiliary air inlet 210 under the driving of the mixed air fan 300, so as to be mixed with the heat exchange air in the cross-flow fan 200, and then flow out of the cross-flow fan 200 and the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0129] Exemplarily, as shown in FIG. 1, Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a limiting member 700, the limiting member 700 is connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210, the limiting member 700 is provided with a limiting hole 710, and the connecting shaft 310 is rotationally connected with the limiting hole 710.
[0130] In this embodiment, the limiting member 700 is connected with the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210, and the connecting shaft 310 is rotationally connected with the limiting hole 710 of the limiting member 700. The limiting hole 710 can also limit the radial movement of the connecting shaft 310, reduce the radial movement of the mixing fan 300 during rotation, and improve the working stability and reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0131] Optionally, a bearing is arranged in the limiting hole 710, the limiting hole 710 is connected with the outer ring of the bearing, the connecting shaft 310 is connected with the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer ring and the inner ring can rotate relative to each other, so that the connecting shaft 310 can rotate relative to the limiting hole 710, and the rotational friction of the connecting shaft 310 on the limiting hole 710 is reduced.
[0132] In the case where the mixing fan 300 comprises the fan blade 320 and the central shaft 330, the connecting shaft 310 is coaxially connected with the central shaft 330, the axial side wall of the central shaft 330 is connected with the fan blade 320, one end of the connecting shaft 310 is connected with the driving end of the third driving motor 420, the other end of the connecting shaft 310 passes through the limiting hole 710 and is connected with the central shaft 330, or the other end of the connecting shaft 310 passes through the central shaft 330 and is located in the limiting hole 710.
[0133] In this embodiment, the limiting member 700 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet 210, and in the case where the other end of the connecting shaft 310 passes through the limiting hole 710 and is connected with the central shaft 330, i.e. the central shaft 330 is located in the auxiliary air inlet 210, the mixing fan 300 is arranged in the auxiliary air inlet 210. Further, the inner side wall of the auxiliary air inlet 210 extends away from the impeller assembly 220, i.e. the end cover 230 provided with the auxiliary air inlet 210 extends away from the impeller assembly 220, so as to increase the extension length of the auxiliary air inlet 210, and the mixing fan 300 can be arranged in the auxiliary air inlet 210.
[0134] Optionally, the end of the auxiliary air inlet 210 is flush with the end of the second air duct 132 facing the through flow, or the end of the auxiliary air inlet 210 extends into the second air duct 132.
[0135] In the case where the other end of the connecting shaft 310 passes through the central shaft 330 and is located in the limiting hole 710, i.e. the connecting shaft 310 is located on both sides of the central shaft 330, the mixing fan 300 is arranged between the second air duct 132 and the auxiliary air inlet 210.
[0136] The difference between the fourth embodiment and the first to third embodiments is that,
[0137] In some optional embodiments, the number of the mixing fans 300 is two, and the auxiliary air inlets 210 are arranged on the opposite axial side walls of the cross-flow fan 200 in the case that the number of the mixing fans 300 is two.

One mixing fan 300 corresponds to the auxiliary air inlet 210 on one side of the cross-flow fan 200, and the indoor air driven by the two mixing fans 300 can enter the cross-flow fan 200 through the corresponding auxiliary air inlets 210. In this way, the indoor air entering the cross-flow fan 200 can be increased, and the situation that the indoor air mixed with the heat exchange air on the other axial side wall of the cross-flow fan 200 is less can be reduced when the auxiliary air inlet 210 is arranged on only one axial side wall of the cross-flow fan 200, and the uniformity of the mixing of the air conditioner indoor unit can be improved.
[0139] Further, the mixing fan 300 includes an axial flow fan, and the directions of the two axial flow fans are opposite in the case that the number of the axial flow fans is two. In this way, the indoor air driven by the two axial flow fans flows oppositely to flow into the cross-flow fan 200 from the auxiliary air inlets 210 at the two ends of the cross-flow fan 200.
