[0042] The output rotating shaft of the actuator 16 continues to drive the driving disc 20 to rotate forward, and in the process of rotating to the angle corresponding to the central angle of the first guide slot 21 from the angle corresponding to the central angle of the first circular segment 23, the distance between the second guide column 31 and the center of the driving disc 20 remains unchanged when the second guide column 31 slides in the second circular segment 25 due to the unchanged distance between the second circular segment 25 and the center of the driving disc 20, so that the second guide column 31 remains unchanged, and correspondingly, the second rocker plate 30 and the second rotating shaft 12 also do not rotate, and the second air door 9 keeps the second air inlet channel 6 communicated with the return air inlet 3; the distance between the first guide column 29 and the center of the driving disc 20 gradually approaches the center of the driving disc 20 when the first guide column 29 slides in the first guide segment 24, so that the first guide column 29 drives the driving gear 27 to rotate forward through the first rocker plate 28, the driving gear 27 drives the sleeve 13 to rotate reversely through the external gear, and the two side air doors are rotated to communicate the two side air inlet channels with the return air inlet 3; this corresponds to the second stage of the forward driving stroke of the actuator 16 described above; the reverse driving stroke of the actuator 16 is opposite to the above, which will not be described here again; in addition, the first rocker plate 28 in which the first guide column 29 is located does not rotate in the process of the rotation of the second air door 9 due to the constraint of the first circular segment 23 on the first guide column 29, and the second rocker plate 30 in which the second guide column 31 is located does not rotate in the process of the rotation of the third air door 10 due to the constraint of the second circular segment 25 on the second guide column 31, so that although the sleeve 13 for the rotation of the third air door 10 is rotatably sleeved on the second rotating shaft 12 for the rotation of the second air door 9, the second air door 9 and the third air door 10 will not rotate synchronously due to friction.
[0043] Please refer toFigure 4 and Figure 7 , the outer tooth sleeve 32 is coaxially rotatably sleeved on the second rotating shaft 12 and gap-fitted, the outer tooth sleeve 32 forms the outer tooth outside the air inlet shell 1; in this way, since the first air door 8, the second air door 9 and the third air door 10 are all integrally formed plastic parts, in order to facilitate the processing and manufacturing and to ensure the precision of the outer tooth, the outer tooth is formed by the outer tooth sleeve 32 which is independent of the sleeve 13, the end of the outer tooth sleeve 32 towards the third air door 10 extends into the sleeve 13 and is spline-connected.
[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the double-layer flow air conditioner further comprises a volute structure connected to the lower part of the air inlet box structure and composed of an air inlet box assembly, specifically, the volute structure comprises a volute shell 33, the volute shell 33 has an upper opening in the inside, and an air outlet cavity is formed in the side surface, the upper part of the volute shell 33 is connected with the lower part of the air inlet shell 1 and the air outlet cavity is communicated with the air inlet cavity, a filter element 34 is arranged in the connection part between the upper part of the volute shell 33 and the lower part of the air inlet shell 1, and an air outlet partition plate 35 is arranged horizontally in the air outlet cavity, which divides the air outlet cavity into upper and lower two layers and correspondingly divides the air outlet into upper air outlet 36 and lower air outlet 37; a blower 38 is connected to the lower part of the volute shell 33, the impeller 39 of the blower 38 is in a cylindrical shape and comprises two parallel annular connecting plates and a plurality of blades which are connected between the two annular connecting plates and are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction, the impeller 39 is vertically arranged in the air outlet cavity and the upper end extends above the air outlet partition plate 35 through the clearance hole in the middle part of the air outlet partition plate 35; a partition sleeve 40 is vertically arranged in the inside of the impeller 39, the partition sleeve 40 has tapered flares at both ends, the tapered flares at the upper end are matched with the two air inlet partition plates 4, so that the inside of the partition sleeve 40 is communicated with the second air inlet passage 6 and the outside is communicated with the first air inlet passage 5 and the third air inlet passage 7, and the tapered flares at the lower end are located above the air outlet partition plate 35 and extend in the circumferential direction close to the air outlet partition plate 35, so that the inside of the partition sleeve 40 is communicated with the lower layer 41 of the air outlet cavity through the gap between the blades and the outside is communicated with the upper layer 42 of the air outlet cavity through the gap between the blades; so that the two side air inlet passages are communicated with the upper layer 42 of the air outlet cavity to form an upper layer air inlet passage, and the second air inlet passage 6 is communicated with the lower layer 41 of the air outlet cavity to form a lower layer air inlet passage.
[0045] To facilitate further understanding of the scheme, the working principle of the air inlet box assembly is introduced as follows: when the three dampers respectively make the corresponding air inlet passages communicate with the fresh air inlet 2, the upper air outlet 36 and the lower air outlet 37 both output the outdoor fresh air, at this time, the air inlet box assembly is in a full fresh air supply mode; when the three dampers respectively make the corresponding air inlet passages communicate with the return air inlet 3, the upper air outlet 36 and the lower air outlet 37 both output the indoor return air, at this time, the air inlet box assembly is in a full return air supply mode; when the first damper 8 and the third damper 10 respectively make the corresponding air inlet passages communicate with the fresh air inlet 2, and the second damper 9 makes the second air inlet passage 6 communicate with the return air inlet 3, the upper air outlet 36 outputs the outdoor fresh air so as to realize the defogging and defrosting functions, and the lower air outlet 37 outputs the indoor return air so as to realize the indoor heating function, at this time, the air inlet box assembly is in a mixed air supply mode; in addition, thanks to the asynchronous rotation of the middle damper and the two side dampers driven by the actuator 16 through the second rotating shaft 12 and the sleeve 13, the air inlet box assembly can also flexibly adjust the rotating angles of the middle damper and the two side dampers on the basis of the above three modes, so that the air inlet box assembly has a more comprehensive air distribution ratio for the output of the indoor return air and the outdoor fresh air, which is beneficial to improving the use flexibility and practicability of the air inlet box structure.
