The second air guide grille 420 is arranged on an end of the second support frame 400 away from the bottom plate 140. The second air guide grille 420 can realize the connection and disconnection between the second chamber 120 and the third chamber 130.

[0080] When the fresh air device is in the exhaust mode, the first air guide grille 320 and the second air guide grille 420 are both in the open state, and the indoor air is introduced into the fan component 210 through the first air guide grille 320, the guide groove 161 and the second air guide grille 420. Specifically, the first air guide grille 320 is opened, allowing the indoor air to enter the second chamber 120 from the second air outlet 121, and the air passing through the first air guide grille 320 is the air filtered by the first filter element 310, so as to achieve the filtration of air in the exhaust mode; the second air guide grille 420 is also in the open state, allowing the air guided by the first air guide grille 320 and the guide groove 161 to continue to flow into the third chamber 130, and finally enter the fan component 210, and the fan component 210 drives the airflow to be discharged to the outside along the air guide shell 220, the fourth air outlet 132, the first chamber 110 and the first air outlet 111, so as to complete the exhaust process.

[0081] The design of the first air guide grille 320 and the second air guide grille 420 not only takes into account the air flow requirements in the exhaust mode, but the synergistic effect of the air guide grille and the guide groove 161 makes the air flow path inside the fresh air device smoother and more orderly, reduces turbulence and resistance, and improves ventilation efficiency.

[0082] The fresh air device also includes an openable and closable third air guide grille 330, which is arranged on one end of the first support frame 300 away from the bottom plate 140. The first air guide grille 320 and the third air guide grille 330 form a second air outlet 121, that is, the second air outlet 121 is jointly controlled by the first air guide grille 320 and the third air guide grille 330 to achieve opening and closing. The first air guide grille 320 can open or close part of the second air outlet 121 alone, and the third air guide grille 330 can open or close another part of the second air outlet 121 alone, and the air passing through the first air guide grille 320 is air filtered by the first filter element 310.

[0083] When the fresh air device is in the internal circulation mode, the fourth air outlet 132, the fifth air outlet 133 and the third air guide grille 330 are in a closed state, and the first air guide grille 320, the second air guide grille 420 and the third air outlet 131 are in an open state, and the indoor air passes through the first air guide grille 320, the second air guide grille 420, the fan component 210, the air guide shell 220 and the third air outlet 131 in sequence and enters the room. Specifically, the air quality sensor inside the fresh air device monitors the air quality in real time. When the air quality is poor, the first air guide grille 320 is opened, and the indoor air passes through the first filter element 310 and enters the second chamber 120 to purify the indoor air, improve the user's comfort, and prevent the processed indoor air from being directly discharged outdoors.

[0084] Optionally, when the indoor air quality is good, the first air guide grille 320 is closed and the third air guide grille 330 is opened, and the indoor air enters the second chamber 120 through the third air guide grille 330. At this time, there is no need to purify the indoor air, reducing the loss of the first filter element 310.

[0085] In one embodiment, the second chamber 120 is provided with an openable and closable sixth air vent 122, which is connected to the air guide shell 220; when the fresh air device is in the second air intake mode, the first air guide grille 320, the third air vent 131 and the fourth air vent 132 are in a closed state, and the fifth air vent 133, the sixth air vent 122 and the third air guide grille 330 are in an open state, and the outdoor air passes through the first air vent 111, the fifth air vent 133, the fan component 210, the air guide shell 220, the sixth air vent 122 and the third air guide grille 330 in sequence to enter the room. When the fresh air device is in the second air intake mode, the third air vent 131 (for exhaust in the internal circulation mode and the first air intake mode) and the fourth air vent 132 (for exhaust in the internal circulation mode) are both in a closed state to prevent indoor and outdoor air from mixing or unnecessary air flow. At the same time, the fifth air outlet 133, the sixth air outlet 122 and the third air guide grille 330 are all in an open state, and the first air outlet 111, the first chamber 110, the fifth air outlet 133, the third chamber 130, the sixth air outlet 122 and the third air guide grille 330 form a second air inlet path, providing another independent channel for outdoor air to enter the room. The fresh air entering from the outside has been filtered by the second filter element 410, and the first air guide grille 320 is closed, so that the air passes through the third air guide grille 330 to avoid air flow loss and damage to the first filter element 310. The outdoor air enters the air duct machine through the second air outlet 121, and the air duct machine can cool or heat the air to achieve mixed air supply.

[0086] The fresh air device also includes a first blocking member (not shown), a second blocking member (not shown) and a third blocking member 500.

[0087] The first blocking member is disposed at the third air outlet 131, and its opening and closing is controlled mechanically or electronically, thereby allowing or preventing air from flowing through the third air outlet 131. When the fresh air device is in the first air intake mode and the internal circulation mode, the first blocking member will open the third air outlet 131, allowing air to flow smoothly into the room. When the fresh air device needs to be exhausted, the first blocking member will close the third air outlet 131, preventing the air flowing into the housing 100 from the second air outlet 121 from re-entering the room.

[0088] The second blocking member is disposed at the fourth air outlet 132, and is used to control the indoor air from entering the first chamber 110. When outdoor fresh air needs to be introduced, the second blocking member will close the fourth air outlet 132, and the first blocking member will open the third air outlet 131, allowing fresh air to enter and enter the room after being filtered by the first filter element 310. When the fresh air device is in exhaust mode, the second blocking member will open the fourth air outlet 132, so that the indoor air can enter the first chamber 110 through the fourth air outlet 132, and then be discharged outdoors from the first air outlet 111.

[0089] The third blocking member 500 is responsible for controlling the opening and closing state of the sixth air outlet 122. When the fresh air device is in the second air intake mode, the third blocking member 500 will open the sixth air outlet 122 to allow outdoor air driven by the fan component 210 to enter the second chamber 120. In other modes, the third blocking member 500 will close the sixth air outlet 122 to prevent unnecessary air flow.

[0090] The first blocking member, the second blocking member and the third blocking member 500 may be air valve switch members to control the opening and closing of each air outlet.

One end of the guide plate 600 is rotatably connected to the air guide housing 220. The guide plate 600 can be driven to rotate by a motor. The guide plate 600 is used to guide the air flowing out of the air guide housing 220 to the third air outlet 131 or the fourth air outlet 132. Through the guiding effect of the guide plate 600, the air flowing out of the air guide housing 220 is accurately guided to the third air outlet 131 or the fourth air outlet 132, thereby meeting the air flow requirements in different scenarios.

[0092] When the fresh air device is in the internal circulation mode, the guide plate 600 is in Figure 8 When the fresh air device is in the first air intake mode, the guide plate 600 is in Fig. 9 In the state shown, the air is directed to the third air outlet 131; when the fresh air device is in the internal circulation mode, the guide plate 600 is in Fig.10 In the state shown, the air is directed to the fourth air outlet 132 .
