[0033] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the present invention provides an integrated air conditioner, which includes a housing 10 and a fresh air module 200. The housing 10 is provided with a partition 100 to separate the interior of the housing 10 into an outdoor chamber 12 and an indoor chamber 11. The fresh air module 200 is disposed in the indoor chamber 11 and has a first air inlet 210 and a damper 220. The first air inlet 210 is connected to the outdoor chamber 12, and the damper 220 is provided at the first air inlet 210 for opening and closing the first air inlet 210.

[0034] Among them, the damper 220 is arranged at the first air inlet 210, and can open and close the first air inlet 210, that is, the state of the first air inlet 210 can be switched by controlling the damper 220. When the damper 220 is opened, the first air inlet 210 is opened, and it is directly connected to the outdoor cavity 12, and fresh air is directly inhaled from the outdoor cavity 12; when the damper 220 is closed, the first air inlet 210 is closed, and the fresh air module 200 is isolated from the outdoor cavity 12.

[0035] The outdoor chamber 12 is generally connected to the outdoor environment, and the gas inside it is all outdoor gas, which can be directly sucked into the fresh air module 200 as fresh air.

[0036] Based on the above description, it can be understood that the present invention provides a fresh air module 200 within the indoor cavity 11, allowing the first air inlet 210 of the fresh air module 200 to communicate with the outdoor cavity 12. Furthermore, a damper 220 is provided at the first air inlet 210 for opening and closing the first air inlet 210. When the damper 220 is open, the first air inlet 210 can be directly connected to the outdoor cavity 12, thereby shortening the fresh air path and thus avoiding air volume loss. When the damper 220 is closed, the fresh air module 200 is isolated from the outdoor cavity 12. The present invention not only shortens the fresh air path from the outdoor cavity 12 to the indoor cavity 11, reducing air volume loss and ensuring fresh air intake, but also enables the damper 220 to open and close the first air inlet 210, thereby switching between indoor and outdoor circulation.

[0037] In some embodiments, the partition 100 can be placed horizontally inside the partition shell 10 or vertically inside the partition shell 10 according to the structure of the machine model.

[0038] In some embodiments, a vent 110 is provided on the partition 100 , the vent 110 connects the outdoor cavity 12 and the indoor cavity 11 , the fresh air module 200 is connected to the partition 100 , and the first air inlet 210 is aligned and connected to the vent 110 .

[0039] Specifically, the first air inlet 210 of the fresh air module 200 is connected to the vent 110 , and the outdoor cavity 12 is directly connected to the fresh air module 200 when the damper 220 is opened.

[0040] Furthermore, the orthographic projection of the first air inlet 210 of the fresh air module 200 on the partition 100 completely covers the vent 110 to ensure that the outdoor air at the vent 110 can flow into the first air inlet 210 .

[0041] Furthermore, an air supply fan is provided at the vent 110 , and the air supply fan is built into the vent 110 for accelerating the outdoor air in the outdoor cavity 12 to be sent into the fresh air module 200 .

[0042] In some embodiments, the damper 220 is configured to rotate between a first position and a second position. When the damper 220 is in the first position, the damper 220 blocks the first air inlet 210, and the first air inlet 210 is closed. As the damper 220 rotates from the first position to the second position, the first air inlet 210 is gradually opened.

[0043] The second position is the farthest position that the damper 220 can move relative to the first air inlet 210 . Therefore, when the damper 220 moves to the second position, the first air inlet 210 is fully opened.

[0044] Specifically, the damper 220 is a plate-shaped structure, one end of which is rotatably connected to the side wall of the fresh air module 200 that forms the first air inlet 210. The damper 220 is driven by a motor to rotate between a first position and a second position, thereby opening and closing the first air inlet 210. When the damper 220 is in the first position, the damper 220 blocks the first air inlet 210. When the damper 220 leaves the first position, the damper 220 moves away from the blocking position, allowing the first air inlet 210 to be opened.

[0045] In some embodiments, the damper 220 is rotatably disposed in the fresh air module 200 . As the damper 220 rotates from the first position toward the second position, the damper 220 moves from the first air inlet 210 toward the interior of the fresh air module 200 .

[0046] It can be understood that since the first air inlet 210 is close to the ventilation port 110, in order to avoid interference between the damper 220 and the partition 100 during the opening process, the rotatable direction of the damper 220 is made to rotate toward the inside of the fresh air module 200, so as to avoid interference between the damper 220 and the partition 100 during the opening process.

[0047] Specifically, when the damper 220 moves to the second position, the damper 220 moves to a position inside the fresh air module 200 close to or close to the inner wall of the fresh air module 200, thereby allowing the first air inlet 210 to be opened to the maximum ventilation volume.

[0048] In some embodiments, a cross-flow fan 700 and an indoor heat exchanger 300 are further disposed in the indoor cavity 11. The cross-flow fan 700 is disposed between the indoor heat exchanger 300 and the partition 100, and the indoor heat exchanger 300 is disposed around the cross-flow fan 700. The fresh air module 200 is disposed on one side of the cross-flow fan 700. The housing 10 is provided with an indoor return air vent 301 and an indoor exhaust air vent, both of which are connected to the indoor cavity 11. The indoor return air vent 301 is close to the indoor heat exchanger 300, and the indoor exhaust air vent 701 is close to the cross-flow fan 700.

[0049] The indoor return air vent 301 is the entrance for indoor airflow into the indoor cavity 11, and the indoor exhaust vent 701 is the exit for airflow into the indoor space after heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger 300. A crossflow fan 700 is disposed between the indoor heat exchanger 300 and the partition 100. The crossflow fan 700 is used to draw indoor air into the indoor cavity 11 through the indoor return air vent 301, pass it through the indoor heat exchanger 300 for heat exchange, and then output it to the indoor space through the indoor exhaust vent 701.

[0050] In some embodiments, the air outlet of the fresh air module 200 is disposed on a side of the indoor heat exchanger 300 away from the cross-flow fan 700 .

[0051] It can be understood that setting the air outlet of the fresh air module 200 on the side of the indoor heat exchanger 300 away from the cross-flow fan 700 can allow the outdoor fresh air to enter the room after heat exchange through the indoor heat exchanger 300, thereby avoiding the outdoor air flow directly entering the room and affecting the temperature control effect of the integrated air conditioner.

[0052] In some embodiments, an outdoor fan 400, an outdoor heat exchanger 500, and a compressor 600 are disposed in the outdoor chamber 12. The outdoor fan 400, the outdoor heat exchanger 500, and the compressor 600 are disposed sequentially along a first direction, with the outdoor fan 400 disposed near the fresh air module 200. The first direction is from the end of the partition 100 close to the fresh air module 200 to the end of the partition 100 away from the fresh air module 200.

[0053] Among them, the outdoor fan 400 is used to draw outdoor air into the outdoor cavity 12, so the outdoor air near the outdoor fan 400 is relatively sufficient and fresh. Setting the outdoor fan 400 close to the fresh air module 200 can ensure that the fresh air module 200 has a better air intake environment.

[0054] In some embodiments, an outdoor air inlet 14 and an outdoor air exhaust 15 are provided on the shell 10. The outdoor air inlet 14 is provided close to the outdoor fan 400, and the outdoor air exhaust 15 is provided close to the outdoor heat exchanger 500; the outdoor air inlet 14 is used to communicate with the outdoor air inlet channel on the wall, and the outdoor air exhaust 15 is used to communicate with the outdoor exhaust channel on the wall.

[0055] It can be understood that outdoor air is introduced through the outdoor air inlet 14, and then sent out from the outdoor exhaust outlet 15 after heat exchange through the outdoor heat exchanger 500. At the same time, ductless air intake is achieved by cooperating with the wall holes (outdoor air inlet channel, outdoor exhaust channel), reducing noise sources and improving the quietness of the integrated air conditioner during operation.

[0056] In some embodiments, the integrated air conditioner further includes a mounting base 13 , which is disposed in the outdoor cavity 12 and detachably connected to the shell 10 , and the outdoor fan 400 , the outdoor heat exchanger 500 and the compressor 600 are all connected to the mounting base 13 .

[0057] It is understandable that by providing the mounting base 13 and connecting the outdoor fan 400, the outdoor heat exchanger 500 and the compressor 600 to the mounting base 13, modular assembly of some structural components of the air conditioner can be achieved, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0058] In some embodiments, the indoor cavity 11 is disposed near the top end of the shell 10 , and the outdoor cavity 12 is disposed near the bottom end of the shell 10 .

[0059] That is, the partition 100 is placed horizontally inside the shell 10, and the partition 100 is used to divide the inside of the shell 10 into two layers, and then the outdoor cavity 12 connected to the outdoors is set close to the ground, so that the middle airflow path of the outdoor cavity 12 is horizontal, avoiding the outdoor fan 400 guiding the airflow to overcome gravity to do work, so that the work of the outdoor fan 400 can be utilized to a greater extent, ensuring the heat exchange air volume and heat exchange wind speed of the outdoor heat exchanger 500.

[0060] In some embodiments, the outdoor air inlet 14 and the outdoor air outlet 15 are sequentially arranged along the first direction, so that the outdoor air exchange channel formed by the outdoor air inlet 14, the outdoor air outlet 15 and the outdoor cavity 12 is arranged horizontally.

[0061] In some embodiments, a hook 16 is provided on one side of the housing 10. The hook 16 is used to cooperate with a fixing piece on the wall to fix the integrated air conditioner on the wall. The cooperation method can be mutual hooking or interlocking.

[0062] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the application concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
