[0042] The following describes the fresh air duct adapter 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the fresh air duct adapter 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model is used for an air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 is installed indoors, and a hole connecting the indoor environment and the outdoor environment is opened on the wall. A fresh air inlet 207 is provided on the rear side of the shell 20 of the air conditioner 100. The fresh air duct 31 can be inserted into the hole and connected with the fresh air inlet 207, so as to realize the connection between the air conditioner 100 and the outdoor environment. The fresh air duct adapter 10 includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2.

[0044] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 1 and attached Fig. 9 As shown, the first connector 1 is arranged along the front-to-back direction of the air conditioner 100 (eg Figure 1 20 and the first channel 11 is connected to the housing 20 and communicates with the fresh air inlet 207. The second connector 2 is connected to the end of the first connector 1 that is away from the fresh air inlet 207. The extension direction of the second connector 2 (see attached Figure 1 The vertical direction shown in FIG. 1 ) and the extension direction of the first joint 1 (see FIG. Figure 1 The front and rear directions shown in the figure are perpendicular to each other, the second joint 2 has a second channel 21, the second channel 21 is connected to the first channel 11, and the end of the second joint 2 facing away from the first joint 1 is connected to the fresh air duct 31. The outdoor air flow can flow into the second channel 21 from the fresh air duct 31, and then flow from the second channel 21 to the first channel 11, and finally enter the air conditioner 100 from the fresh air inlet 207, so that the outdoor fresh air can be introduced into the room, realizing the fresh air function, which can improve the quality of indoor air to a certain extent and improve the user experience.

[0045] In the prior art, the fresh air duct adapter is usually a linear adapter structure, which is long in the front-to-back direction of the air conditioner and occupies a large space. It is easy to cause a large distance between the air conditioner and the wall, and the direction of the air conditioner cannot be flexibly adjusted, which limits the installation of the air conditioner. In addition, since the fresh air duct adapter is long in the front-to-back direction, the connection position of the fresh air duct and the fresh air duct adapter is far away from the shell. When the fresh air duct needs to be turned indoors, the air conditioner needs to be placed far away from the wall, resulting in an unsatisfactory installation effect, seriously occupying the indoor space, and a poor user experience.

[0046] The fresh air duct adapter 10 of the utility model includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first connector 1 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the extension direction of the second connector 2 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first connector 1. By changing the connection direction of the fresh air duct 31, the length of the fresh air duct adapter 10 in the front-to-back direction can be relatively shortened, the space occupied by the fresh air duct adapter 10 can be reduced, and the distance between the air conditioner 100 and the wall can be shortened, so that the placement of the air conditioner 100 is more flexible, and the fresh air duct 31 can be directly passed through the wall hole to the outdoors or turned indoors to pass through the wall from other places (such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown), it is convenient for the installation of the air conditioner 100 and improves the user experience.

[0047] According to the fresh air duct adapter 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, the fresh air duct adapter 10 includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2. The first connector 1 extends in the front-to-back direction, and the extension direction of the second connector 2 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first connector 1. By changing the connecting direction of the fresh air duct 31, the length of the fresh air duct adapter 10 in the front-to-back direction can be relatively shortened, the space occupied by the fresh air duct adapter 10 can be reduced, and the distance between the air conditioner 100 and the wall can be shortened, so that the placement of the air conditioner 100 is more flexible, the installation of the air conditioner 100 is facilitated, and the user experience is improved.

[0048] In some embodiments of the utility model, there is a certain gap between the fresh air duct 31 and the inner wall of the hole in the wall for various pipelines to pass through. For example, the pipeline can be a refrigerant pipe 32, which can be passed through the gap between the fresh air duct 31 and the inner wall of the hole in the wall to connect the air conditioner 100 and the outdoor unit to ensure the normal transmission of the refrigerant. The pipeline can also be a drain pipe, which can also be passed through the gap between the fresh air duct 31 and the inner wall of the hole in the wall to discharge the condensed water in the air conditioner 100 to the outside.

[0049] Further, see Attachment Figure 6 and attached Figure 8As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the first joint 1 is provided with an avoidance groove 12 which is concave toward the radial inner side of the first joint 1. The avoidance groove 12 is spaced apart from the second joint 2 in the circumferential direction of the first joint 1 and is formed in the length direction of the first joint 1 (see attached Figure 6 The shell 20 has an extension port 208 arranged opposite to the avoidance slot 12. Pipelines of the air conditioner 100, such as the refrigerant pipe 32 and the drain pipe, can extend from the shell 20 through the extension port 208 and be placed on the avoidance slot 12, and finally pass through the hole in the wall. The setting of the avoidance slot 12 can limit the pipeline extending from the extension port 208, so that the pipeline is located in the avoidance slot 12 and extends along the length direction of the first joint 1, ensuring that the pipeline passes through the hole in the wall, thereby ensuring that the refrigerant pipe 32 connects the air conditioner 100 and the outdoor unit, and ensuring the normal discharge of condensed water.

[0050] It should be noted that by limiting the spacing between the avoidance groove 12 and the second joint 2 in the circumferential direction of the first joint 1, mutual interference between the avoidance groove 12 and the second joint 2 can be avoided, ensuring that the portion of the pipeline located in the avoidance groove 12 extends along the length direction of the first joint 1, and the portion of the pipeline located outside the avoidance groove 12 can be bent and changed in direction according to the user's installation needs so as to be set relative to the hole in the wall.

[0051] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 6 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the avoidance groove 12 is located above the first joint 1, so that the pipeline passing through the extension port 208 can be naturally placed in the avoidance groove 12 and extend along the length direction of the first joint 1. No additional fasteners are required to fix the pipeline in the avoidance groove 12, thereby relatively reducing the number of parts used during the installation of the air conditioner 100 and reducing the assembly cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0052] Further, see Attachment Figure 6 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the inner wall surface of the avoidance groove 12 is an arc-shaped surface. Since the cross-section of the pipeline is roughly circular, the design of the arc-shaped surface can make the avoidance groove 12 fit the pipeline better, avoid the pipeline from shaking in the avoidance groove 12, and avoid the pipeline from falling off the air conditioner 100 or the pipeline from detaching from the hole in the wall. By limiting the position of the pipeline by the avoidance groove 12, the service life of the pipeline can be relatively extended, the maintenance frequency of the air conditioner 100 can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 6 and attached Figure 7 As shown, the second joint 2 is located below the first joint 1 and along the up-down direction (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the end of the second joint 2 facing away from the first joint 1 can be extended as close as possible to the hole in the wall, which facilitates the connection between the second joint 2 and the fresh air duct 31 and conforms to the direction of the fresh air duct 31.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 5 , Attachment Figure 6 and attached Fig.10 As shown, the first joint 1 is snap-connected with the shell 20, which can ensure the connection strength between the first joint 1 and the shell 20, ensure the reliability and stability of the connection between the first joint 1 and the shell 20, ensure the reliability of the assembly of the fresh air duct adapter 10, and facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first joint 1 and the shell 20, thereby reducing the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost of the air conditioner 100, and can prevent outdoor fresh air from leaking out of the gap between the first joint 1 and the shell 20 when flowing from the fresh air duct adapter 10 into the air conditioner 100, thereby ensuring that the outdoor fresh air can smoothly enter the air conditioner 100.

[0055] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 5 , Attachment Figure 6 and attached Fig.11 As shown, a snap-fitting piece is provided on the shell 20, and a snap-fitting hole 13 cooperating with the snap-fitting piece is provided on the first joint 1. The snap-fitting piece has a simple structure. Through the cooperation between the snap-fitting piece and the snap-fitting hole 13, the reliability and stability of the connection between the first joint 1 and the shell 20 can be further improved, the reliability of the assembly of the fresh air duct adapter 10 is ensured, the disassembly and assembly of the first joint 1 and the shell 20 are facilitated, and the maintenance difficulty and maintenance cost of the air conditioner 100 are reduced.

[0056] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 6 and attached Fig. 9 As shown, the clamping holes 13 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the circumferential direction of the first joint 1, and the clamping members are a plurality of one-to-one corresponding to the plurality of clamping holes 13, so that the first joint 1 can be connected to the housing 20 from a plurality of intervals in the circumferential direction of the first joint 1, further ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the first joint 1 and the housing 20, and ensuring the reliability of the assembly of the fresh air duct adapter 10. In a specific example, refer to the attached Figure 6 and attached Fig. 9 As shown, there are two clamping holes 13 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the first joint 1, and the two clamping holes 13 are respectively located on the inner bottom wall of the avoidance groove 12 and the lower side of the first joint 1, and the two clamping holes 13 are relatively arranged in the up and down directions, and the engaging parts are two corresponding to the two clamping holes 13 one by one, and can cooperate from two places spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the first joint 1, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the first joint 1 and the shell 20, and ensuring the reliability of the assembly of the fresh air duct adapter 10.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 6 As shown, the first connector 1 and the second connector 2 are an integrated part, which can facilitate the connection between the fresh air duct adapter 10 and the shell 20, simplify the assembly process of the air conditioner 100, shorten the assembly time of the air conditioner 100, and improve the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 8 , Attachment Fig. 9 and attached Fig.11 As shown, the inner circumferential wall of the second joint 2 at one end away from the first joint 1 has an internal thread 22 for connecting with the fresh air duct 31. The fresh air duct 31 is a bendable hose. The outer circumferential wall of the fresh air duct 31 has an external thread that matches the internal thread 22 of the inner circumferential wall of the second joint 2. Through the matching of the internal thread 22 and the external thread, the connection reliability between the fresh air duct 31 and the second joint 2 can be ensured in a simple manner, and the outdoor fresh air is prevented from leaking from the gap between the fresh air duct 31 and the second joint 2 when flowing from the fresh air duct 31 to the second channel 21, thereby ensuring that the outdoor fresh air can smoothly enter the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that the outer circumferential wall of the fresh air duct 31 has spiral ribs, and part of the spiral ribs can be formed as external threads of the fresh air duct 31.

[0059] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 8 , Attachment Fig. 9 and attached Fig.11 As shown, the internal thread 22 of the second joint 2 includes a plurality of sub-threads spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the second joint 2, and each sub-thread extends along the circumferential direction of the second joint 2 to cooperate with the external thread of the fresh air duct 31, thereby simplifying the internal thread 22, making the mold of the fresh air duct adapter 10 simpler, improving the manufacturability of the mold, and reducing the difficulty of production and processing of the fresh air duct adapter 10.
