However, in some unillustrated embodiments.

[0084] It is worth noting that, in some unillustrated embodiments, the fresh air guide vane 411 and the exhaust air guide vane 441 of the fresh air module can also be driven by three gears, or can also be driven by a gear set formed by multiple gears. The number of gears is not limited in the embodiment.

[0087] The fresh air filter screen 48 can be assembled into or taken out of the fresh air module 4 through the first filter screen mounting hole 491, the second filter screen mounting hole, and the third filter screen mounting hole 51.

[0088] The air conditioner housing 5 is provided with a reinforcing rib 52 at the third filter screen mounting hole 51.

[0089] In the embodiment, the fresh air filter screen 48 is arranged at the fresh air inlet 41, so that the outdoor fresh air can be filtered.

[0090] Preferably, the third filter screen mounting hole 51 formed in the air conditioner housing 5 is a stepped opening, and an operation handle is designed on the fresh air filter screen 48, so that the fresh air filter screen 48 can be directly replaced by operating the handle at the third filter screen mounting hole 51 of the air conditioner housing 5, and the handle does not exceed the outermost side of the stepped opening, so as not to affect the size of the machine and packaging.

[0091] Meanwhile, the reinforcing rib 52 of the air conditioner housing 5 is arranged at the third filter screen mounting hole 51, and the sinking space of the reinforcing rib 52 of the air conditioner housing 5 is used for operating the handle of the fresh air filter screen, and the length of the third filter screen mounting hole 51 is 15-40 mm longer than the length of the filter screen handle, so that the upper and lower edges of the handle can also be pinched during operation.

[0092] In any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air conditioner has an indoor air outlet 6 communicating with the indoor side environment and a heat exchanger 7 arranged at one side of the indoor air outlet 6; preferably, the heat exchanger is an evaporator.

By arranging the flow guide ring 8 between the fresh air channel 81 and the waste gas channel 82, the fresh air and the waste gas can be prevented from crossing.

[0099] The gap channel 100 is formed between the heat exchanger side plate 9, the air conditioner outer cover 5 and the flow guide ring 8, one side of the gap channel 100 being communicated with the inlet end of the waste gas channel 82 and the other side being communicated with the indoor side environment.

[0100] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 The outdoor fresh air enters the fresh air module 4 through the fresh air inlet 41 of the fresh air module 4, and is discharged from the fresh air module 4 through the fresh air outlet 42 of the fresh air module 4. The fresh air discharged from the fresh air outlet 42 is discharged through the fresh air channel 81, and the fresh air discharged from the fresh air outlet 42 is guided by the flow guide ring 8 and introduced into the indoor air duct of the air conditioner, and is discharged into the indoor environment through the indoor air outlet 6. At the same time, the indoor waste gas (i.e. indoor dirty air) enters the air conditioner through the gap channel 100, enters the waste gas channel 82 communicated with the gap channel, and enters the fresh air module 4 through the waste gas channel 82 and the waste gas inlet 43 on the fresh air module 4, and is finally discharged into the outdoor environment through the waste gas outlet 44 on the fresh air module 4.

[0101] The window type air conditioner in the embodiment of the application fully utilizes the structures of the original components of the air conditioner to form a fresh air flow path and an exhaust gas flow path, and realizes the bidirectional fresh air exchange effect of the air conditioner without greatly changing the original structure of the air conditioner.

[0104] The air duct centrifugal fan blade 200 is designed to: when the air duct centrifugal fan blade 200 is driven to rotate, the outdoor side fresh air discharged from the fresh air channel 81 is discharged from the indoor air outlet 6.

[0105] In any of the above embodiments, as shown, Figure 5 The front partition plate 1 comprises a first plate segment 1a arranged in parallel to the length direction of the air conditioner and a second plate segment 1b arranged in parallel to the width direction of the air conditioner.

[0106] The air duct volute 2 comprises a first volute segment 2a arranged in parallel to the length direction of the air conditioner and a second volute segment 2b arranged in parallel to the width direction of the air conditioner.

[0109] In any of the above embodiments, as shown, Figures 8-11 The fresh air module 4 is internally provided with a total heat exchanger 4a.

[0110] The total heat exchanger 4a is arranged on the flow path of the fresh air flow path and the flow path of the waste gas flow path, and is used for heat exchange between the outdoor side fresh air passing therethrough and the indoor side waste gas passing therethrough.

[0111] In the embodiment, when the outdoor fresh air is introduced to the indoor side and the indoor waste gas is discharged to the outdoor side, the outdoor fresh air and the indoor waste gas can be heat exchanged through the total heat exchanger 4a in the fresh air module 4, so that the outdoor fresh air is cooled / heated by the indoor waste gas, and the introduced fresh air to the indoor side is more consistent with the indoor temperature, and the fresh air introduction effect is better.

[0112] Meanwhile, in combination with the heat exchanger 7 arranged at the indoor air outlet 6, the fresh air heat-exchanged by the total heat exchanger 4a can pass through the heat exchanger again, and the refrigeration / heating effect is considered, so that the introduced fresh air to the indoor side is more consistent with the indoor ambient temperature, and the user experience is better.

[0113] In any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 8 the interior of the fresh air module 4 further comprises a fresh air motor 4b, oppositely arranged first and second partitions 4c and 4d, a fresh air volute 4e, and a waste gas volute 4f;

[0114] The fresh air motor 4b is arranged between the first and second partitions 4c and 4d. The fresh air motor 4b is a double-shaft motor. One output shaft of the fresh air motor 4b passes through the first partition 4c and is connected to a fresh air centrifugal fan blade 4g. The other output shaft of the fresh air motor 4b passes through the second partition 4d and is connected to a waste gas centrifugal fan blade 4h.

[0115] The fresh air volute 4e is built-in with the fresh air centrifugal fan blade 4g, and the waste gas volute 4f is built-in with the waste gas centrifugal fan blade 4h.

[0116] The fresh air module further comprises:

[0117] a fresh air cover, the fresh air motor 4b, the first and second partitions 4c and 4d, the fresh air volute 4e, the waste gas volute 4f, and the total heat exchanger 4a are arranged in the fresh air cover. The fresh air cover is formed with a fresh air inlet 41, a fresh air outlet 42, a waste gas inlet 43, and a waste gas outlet 44. The fresh air cover comprises oppositely and buckled first and second side fresh air covers 4i and 4j, and an upper fresh air cover 4k arranged above the first and second side fresh air covers 4i and 4j.

[0118] More specifically, as shown in Figure 9 the fresh air motor 4b is merged and surrounded by the first and second partitions 4c and 4d. The fresh air centrifugal fan blade 4g is installed on the motor shaft on one side of the first partition 4c. The fresh air volute 4e is installed on the side of the fresh air centrifugal fan blade 4g close to the first partition 4c. The waste gas volute 4f is first installed on one side of the second partition 4d, and then the waste gas centrifugal fan blade 4h is installed on the motor shaft on the same side.

The upper fresh air cover 4k is installed on the top side. The total heat exchanger 4a is installed on the top side of the first and second partitions 4c and 4d and the bottom side of the upper fresh air cover 4k. A fresh air filter screen 48 is arranged on the inner side of the fresh air inlet 41 to filter the fresh air introduced from the outside.

[0120] It should be noted that the above-mentioned air duct centrifugal fan blade 200 can be placed horizontally. For an overall air conditioner with a short outdoor side, such as a wall-through machine, the air duct centrifugal fan blade 200 can also be arranged parallel to the front partition 1. The direction of the air duct centrifugal fan blade 200 and the air duct volute 2 can be adjusted as needed.

[0121] It should be noted that the inlet and outlet air faces of the total heat exchanger 4a are not horizontal or vertical, and the installation angle can be adjusted as needed. The position of the total heat exchanger 4a can be on the upper side, lower side, outer side, inner side, left side, and right side of the two fan blades (fresh air centrifugal fan blade 4g and exhaust air centrifugal fan blade 4h).

[0122] It should be noted that the fresh air module 4 can be installed in any part of the duct volute 2 and the front partition 1 that has space, completely or partially on the indoor side, and the installation direction of the fresh air module 4 can also be adjusted as needed.

[0123] It should be noted that the fresh air exhaust port 42 downstream can be directly connected to a heat exchanger, so that the fresh air passes through the total heat exchange and then passes through the heat exchanger again, to achieve a superimposed heat exchange effect. The exhaust air inlet port 43 can also be directly connected to the air inlet panel of the air conditioner through a pipeline or other channel.

[0124] It should be noted that the fresh air control logic of the window type air conditioner is as follows: first, when the user turns on or sets the fresh air function, the drive motor that drives the blades (fresh air guide blade and exhaust air guide blade) is turned on, so that the blades are rotated to a reasonable angle, i.e. the indoor exhaust air is guided to the upstream of the outdoor fan and is sucked away by the outdoor fan, and the fresh air enters through the fresh air inlet port 41 on the other side. Then turn on the fresh air motor and perform fresh air exchange. When the fresh air function is turned off by the user or the timer, first turn off the fresh air motor, and then start the blade drive motor to close the fresh air inlet port and the exhaust air outlet port.
