[0027] Embodiment one

[0028] As Figures 1-2 shown, Figure 1 is a structure diagram of the air conditioner in the utility model, which shows a cross section of the air conditioner after being cut from the horizontal direction, Figure 2 is a front view of the air conditioner in the utility model. The utility model provides an air conditioner, which comprises: a shell 1, a first channel, a second channel and a mixed air channel 12 are arranged in the shell 1, an air inlet end of the first channel forms a first air inlet 2 on the shell 1, an air inlet end of the second channel forms a second air inlet 3 on the shell 1, the air outlet end of the first channel and the air outlet end of the second channel are both communicated with the air inlet end of the mixed air channel 12, and the air outlet end of the mixed air channel 12 forms an air outlet 4 on the shell 1; the first air inlet 2, the second air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4 are arranged on the same side surface of the shell 1; a first fan 5 is arranged in the first channel and used for introducing airflow into the first channel; a second fan 6 is arranged in the second channel and used for introducing airflow into the second channel; an evaporator 7 is arranged in the first channel and used for heat exchange of the airflow in the first channel.

[0029] In the embodiment, in order to make the air conditioner facilitate the home integration while improving the user's experience, the utility model provides a new air conditioner, the air conditioner includes casing 1, first fan 5, second fan 6 and evaporator 7. Wherein, the air inlet end of the first channel forms the first air inlet 2 on the casing 1, the air inlet end of the second channel forms the second air inlet 3 on the casing 1, the air outlet end of the mixed air channel 12 forms the air outlet 4 on the casing 1, and the first air inlet 2, the second air inlet 3 and the air outlet 4 are arranged on the same side of the casing 1. Since the air inlet and outlet are arranged on the same side, for example, the side of the casing 1 facing the indoor is the front side, the air inlet and outlet are arranged on the front side of the casing 1, the front air inlet and the front air outlet, so when the home integration is carried out, only the arrangement position of the side needs to be considered, which greatly improves the flexibility and convenience of the air conditioner placement, solves the problem that the existing air conditioner is not conducive to the home integration. If it is placed in the cabinet, only the side is considered not to be blocked, without the need for opening holes on different sides of the cabinet, reducing the construction amount of the air conditioner in the adaptive modification of the furniture when placed with the furniture, avoiding damaging the overall aesthetics of the home, and easily cleaning and maintaining the air conditioner in the later period. If placed against the wall, the side of the air inlet and outlet is blocked by the curtain.

[0030] At the same time, the air outlet end of the first channel and the air outlet end of the second channel in the air conditioner are communicated with the air inlet end of the mixed air channel 12, the first fan 5 and the evaporator 7 are arranged in the first channel, and the second fan 6 is arranged in the second channel. When the first fan 5 and the second fan 6 are running, the first channel inhales the gas in the room, and the gas is cooled or heated by the evaporator 7, the second channel inhales the gas in the room, and the mixed air channel 12 is used to mix the air from the first channel and the second channel. The cold air or hot air in the first channel mixes with the air in the second channel, and then blows out through the air outlet 4 of the mixed air channel 12, so that the discomfort caused by the direct blowing of too cold or too hot air in the air conditioner to the user's body can be avoided, and the effect of cool but not cold and hot but not dry can be achieved, improving the user's experience. At the same time, since the user's experience is improved by mixing air in the embodiment, rather than changing the working power of the evaporator 7, the speed of the air conditioner adjusting the indoor temperature will not be weakened. In summary, the air conditioner in the embodiment facilitates the home integration while improving the user's experience, and also does not reduce the speed of the air conditioner adjusting the indoor temperature.

[0031] Since the air inlet and outlet in the embodiment are located on the same side, the air outlet end of the first channel and the air outlet end of the second channel are close, so the mixed air channel 12 does not need too long a path. After the path of the mixed air channel 12 is shortened, the occupied space is also reduced, the volume of the air conditioner is reduced, and the air conditioner is facilitated to integrate with the home.

[0032] It should be noted that the shape of the shell 1 is a common shape, such as a rectangular, square or rectangular. The shape of the first air inlet 2 and the second air inlet 3 is also a common form, and the shape of the air outlet 4 is also a common form.

[0033] Further, the cross-sectional area of the first air inlet 2 is greater than that of the second air inlet 3. In this embodiment, since the air sucked into the first air inlet 2 is for cooling the room, and the air sucked into the second air inlet 3 is for mixing with the air in the first channel to improve the user experience, the air intake of the second air inlet 3 does not need to be large, and can be less than that of the first air inlet 2, so the cross-sectional area of the second air inlet 3 can be set to be less than that of the first air inlet 2. It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of the second air inlet 3 can be adjusted by the person skilled in the art under actual conditions without departing from the basic principles of the present application.

[0034] Embodiment two

[0035] Further, the air mixing channel 12 is inclined away from the first air inlet 2, so that the direction of the gas flowing out of the air outlet 4 is away from the first air inlet 2. In this embodiment, the air inlet and outlet are located on the same side, which may cause the air blown out of the air outlet 4 to be sucked into the first air inlet 2 in a short time, thereby affecting the cooling effect of the air conditioner. Therefore, while facilitating home integration, the problem of return air needs to be considered. In order to solve this problem, the air mixing channel 12 is inclined away from the first air inlet 2 in this embodiment, so that the direction of the gas flowing out of the air outlet 4 is away from the first air inlet 2, thereby reducing the amount of air blown out of the air outlet 4 being sucked into the first air inlet 2.

[0036] The air sucked into the second air inlet 3 will not be cooled or heated, so the air sucked into the second air inlet 3 from the air outlet 4 will not affect the cooling effect of the air conditioner, as shown in Figure 3 Figure 3 is a schematic view of the structure of the air conditioner in the present application, which shows the cross section of the air conditioner cut from the horizontal direction. The air mixing channel 12 can be inclined towards the second air inlet 3, so that the direction of the gas flowing out of the air outlet 4 is close to the second air inlet 3. In addition, on the basis of the air mixing channel 12 being inclined towards the second air inlet 3, the cross-sectional area of the second air inlet 3 is set to be less than that of the first air inlet 2, which can reduce the amount of air blown out of the air outlet 4 being sucked into the second air inlet 3.

[0037] Further, as shown in Figures 1-3 ​As shown, the air outlet 4 is located between the first air inlet 2 and the second air inlet 3. In this embodiment, since the air outlet 4 is to discharge air outwardly, if the air outlet 4 is arranged at the edge position, the walls and the like on both sides of the air conditioner will block the diffusion of the air during the air discharge. In order to enable the air blown out of the air outlet 4 to cover a larger range, the air outlet 4 is arranged between the first air inlet 2 and the second air inlet 3.

[0038] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the first air inlet 2, the evaporator 7 and the first fan 5 are sequentially arranged in the first channel along the direction of the gas flow. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first air inlet 2, the evaporator 7 and the first fan 5 are sequentially arranged in the first channel along the direction of the gas flow. In this embodiment, the evaporator 7 is arranged at the air inlet end of the first fan 5, so that the gas flowing through can be sufficiently and timely heated or cooled. In addition, since the air outlet end of the first channel and the air outlet end of the second channel are both communicated with the air inlet end of the mixing channel, i.e., the air outlet end of the first fan 5 is close to the air outlet end of the second fan 6, if the evaporator 7 is arranged at the air outlet end of the first fan 5, the distance between the air outlet end of the second fan 6 and the evaporator 7 will be closer, and the air flowing out of the second channel may flow into the first channel and be cooled by the evaporator 7, thereby failing to achieve a good temperature adjustment effect.

[0039] Further, in the first channel, the size of the air inlet end of the first fan 5 is greater than the size of the air outlet end of the first fan 5, i.e., the cross-sectional area of the air inlet end of the first fan 5 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the air outlet end of the first fan 5. In this embodiment, in the first channel, since the main function of the first fan 5 is to suck the indoor air, the channel size of the air inlet end of the first fan 5 is arranged to be greater than the channel size of the air outlet end of the first fan 5, which not only facilitates the suction of a large amount of indoor air, but also avoids the air flowing out of the second channel from flowing into the first channel, i.e., when the first fan 5 and the second fan 6 work simultaneously, the air blown out of the second fan 6 can be prevented from entering the first fan 5.

[0040] Further, in the second channel, the size of the air inlet end of the second fan 6 is greater than the size of the air outlet end of the second fan 6, i.e., the cross-sectional area of the air inlet end of the second fan 6 is greater than the cross-sectional area of the air outlet end of the second fan 6. In this embodiment, in the second channel, the channel size of the air inlet end of the second fan 6 is greater than the channel size of the air outlet end of the second fan 6, which is also to facilitate the suction of the air while preventing the air in the first channel from entering the second channel, i.e., when the first fan 5 and the second fan 6 work simultaneously, the air blown out of the first fan 5 can be prevented from entering the second fan 6.

[0041] Further, the first fan 5 and the second fan 6 are both flood filling fans. In the embodiment, in order to make the air flow in and out of the same side, so as to facilitate the home integration, the first fan 5 and the second fan 6 are both selected as the flood filling fans; in addition, the overall space occupied by the air conditioner can be reduced, and the flood filling fan can provide a large air volume although the volume is small, and is very suitable for the air conditioner in the home integration concept.

[0042] Further, as shown in Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a front view of the air conditioner with the fresh air module in the utility model, and the air conditioner further comprises a fresh air module, and the fresh air module comprises: an outer shell 8 arranged on the outer surface of the shell body 1, the outer shell 8 having a containing cavity, one end of the containing cavity being communicated with the second channel; a fresh air pipe 9, one end of the fresh air pipe 9 being arranged on the outer shell 8 and communicated with the other end of the containing cavity, the other end of the fresh air pipe 9 being used for being communicated with the outdoor; and a third fan 10 arranged in the containing cavity and used for sending the outdoor fresh air into the second channel through the fresh air pipe 9 and the containing cavity.

[0043] If the indoor air is circulated back and forth without introducing the fresh outdoor air, the oxygen content in the room can be reduced, and in the embodiment, in order to solve the problem, the air conditioner provided by the utility model further comprises a fresh air module, and the fresh air module comprises the outer shell 8, the fresh air pipe 9 and the third fan 10. Wherein, the outer shell 8 is arranged on the outer surface of the shell body 1, the outer shell 8 has a containing cavity, one end of the containing cavity is communicated with the second channel, one end of the fresh air pipe 9 is connected to the outer shell 8 and communicated with the other end of the containing cavity, and the other end is communicated with the outdoor, that is, the fresh air pipe 9, the containing cavity and the second channel are communicated in sequence, and the fresh air pipe 9 is used for providing the outdoor fresh air to the containing cavity and the second channel; and the third fan 10 is arranged in the containing cavity and used for sucking the fresh air. By arranging the fresh air module, the inlet of the fresh air can be effectively improved, the outdoor fresh air and the indoor natural wind are integrated, the comfort degree of the gas can be ensured, the oxygen content in the room can be improved, and the experience of the customer can be improved. In an actual application, the third fan 10 is usually selected as a centrifugal fan.

[0044] In addition, as shown in Figure 4 , on the basis of installing the fresh air module, the second air inlet 3 can be arranged on the outer shell 8, as long as the second air inlet 3 is still on the same side with the first air inlet 2 and the air outlet 4, so that the air volume of the air flowing out of the air outlet 4 and being sucked into the second air inlet 3 can be further reduced.

[0045] Further, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the fresh air module further comprises a water washing assembly 11 arranged in the accommodating cavity and used for washing the gas flowing through the accommodating cavity. In this embodiment, in order to improve the indoor air quality and further improve the experience of the customer, the fresh air module further comprises the water washing assembly 11 arranged in the accommodating cavity and used for washing the gas flowing through the accommodating cavity. The outdoor fresh air may contain dust and other impurities, which can be filtered by the water washing assembly 11 to avoid entering the indoor.

[0046] In addition, the water washing assembly 11 can also be placed in the second channel, so that the outdoor air and indoor air sucked into the second channel can be purified and washed. The indoor air may contain formaldehyde and other impurities, which can be reduced after being washed by the water washing assembly 11, and then blown into the indoor through the air outlet 4 to improve the indoor air quality.

[0047] In an actual application, the water washing assembly 11 is a common product on the market, which only needs to reserve an installation structure in the shell 8, and then the water washing assembly 11 can be directly installed. The water washing assembly 11 can be conveniently replaced and maintained.
