[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the disclosure provides a multi-split air conditioning system, in which multiple air supply ducts 21 are respectively connected to multiple rooms, and the indoor unit 10 can supply air to multiple rooms through the multiple air supply ducts 21. At the same time, a fresh air system 11 is connected to the indoor unit 10 to supply fresh air to the indoor unit 10. With this configuration, the indoor unit 10 can blow the fresh air supplied by the fresh air system 11 to the room designated by the user to improve the air quality in the room, thereby improving the user experience.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a multi-split air conditioning system including: an indoor unit 10, a fresh air system 11, and an air supply duct assembly 20. The indoor unit 10 includes an air supply assembly for supplying air in a preset direction; the fresh air system 11 is connected to the indoor unit 10 and is used to supply fresh air to the indoor unit 10; the air supply duct assembly 20 includes multiple air supply pipes 21, which are respectively connected to the air supply assembly, and each air supply pipe 21 is provided with at least one air outlet 22; wherein, the indoor unit 10 can blow the fresh air supplied by the fresh air system 11 into the room through the air supply duct assembly 20.

[0043] Specifically, the number and shape of the air supply ducts 2121 can be set according to the number and location of rooms to ensure that each room is equipped with at least one air supply outlet 2222. The fresh air system 11 includes a fresh air fan, and the fresh air system 1111 is connected to the indoor unit 1010. The fresh air fan is used to blow outdoor air to the indoor unit 10.

[0044] When the fresh air system 11 is operating, it draws in outdoor air and connects it to the indoor unit 10 via the fresh air duct 112. The fresh air fan then blows the outdoor air through the duct 112 to the indoor unit 10, which in turn blows the outdoor air into the corresponding room through the supply air duct 21 and the air outlet 22. With this configuration, the indoor unit 10 can deliver the fresh air supplied by the fresh air system 11 to the user's designated room, improving the air quality in that room and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the fresh air system 11 includes: a fresh air unit 111, a fresh air duct 112, and a valve element 113. The fresh air unit 111 is located outdoors; the fresh air duct 112 is used to connect the fresh air unit 111 and the indoor unit 10; the valve element 113 is located in the fresh air duct 112 and is used to block or unclog the fresh air duct 112.

[0046] Specifically, the fresh air unit 111 includes a fresh air fan, and a fresh air duct 112 connects the fresh air unit 111 and the indoor unit 10. A valve element 113 is located at the connection point between the fresh air duct 112 and the fresh air unit 111, or at the connection point between the fresh air duct 112 and the indoor unit 10. When the multi-split air conditioning system is operating in fresh air mode, the valve element 113 clears the fresh air duct 112 to allow fresh air to flow into the indoor unit 10. When the multi-split air conditioning system is in fresh air mode off, the valve element 113 blocks the fresh air duct 112 to prevent outdoor air from flowing into the room and to prevent indoor air from flowing out, thereby ensuring the cooling or heating effect of the indoor unit 10 on the room.

[0047] When the valve body element 113 clears the fresh air duct 112, the fresh air volume flowing into the indoor unit 10 can also be controlled by adjusting the opening degree of the valve body element 113.

[0048] Optionally, the fresh air duct 112 is equipped with a filter assembly 3333 to filter the air flowing into the indoor unit 10.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the valve body element 113 is configured as a plate, and the valve body element 113 is rotatably disposed in the fresh air duct 112 via a rotating shaft 1131; wherein, the valve body element 113 can rotate around the rotating shaft 1131 to block or unclog the air supply duct 21.

[0050] Specifically, the cross-section of the fresh air duct 112 is configured as circular, and the valve body element 113 is configured as a corresponding circular plate. A rotating shaft 1131 is provided in the center of the valve body element 113, and the rotating shaft 1131 is rotatably connected to the fresh air duct 112. Thus, the valve body element 113 can rotate circumferentially around the rotating shaft 1131 to block or clear the fresh air duct 112. Simultaneously, the airflow into the indoor unit 10 can be controlled by adjusting the rotation angle of the valve body element 113.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-split air conditioning system further includes a drive motor 114. The drive motor 114 is connected to the rotating shaft 1131 of the valve body element 113; wherein, the drive motor 114 drives the valve body element 113 to rotate between a first preset angle and a second preset angle to block or clear the air supply duct 21.

[0052] Specifically, the multi-split air conditioning system also includes a control device, which is electrically connected to the drive motor 114. The drive motor 114 is located on one side of the valve body element 113, and the drive motor 114 has an output shaft corresponding to the valve body element 113. The output shaft is drively connected to the rotating shaft 1131 of the valve body element 113. The control device includes a control panel or remote control, etc., which allows the user to control the drive motor 114 to drive the valve body element 113 to rotate, thereby clearing or blocking the fresh air duct 112.

[0053] In practical applications, when the valve body element 113 is clearing the fresh air duct 112, the drive motor 114 can rotate the valve body element 113 between 5° and 90°. For example, the drive motor 114 can rotate the valve body element 113 to 5°, 30°, 60°, or 90°, so that the opening degree of the corresponding fresh air duct 112 is 5%, 30%, 60%, or 100%. With this setting, the user can adjust the cooling capacity of the corresponding room by adjusting the opening degree of the fresh air duct 112.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the rotating shaft 1131 can be arranged horizontally on the left and right sides of the valve body element 113, in which case the drive motor 114 is arranged on the left or right side of the valve body element 113. Similarly, the rotating shaft 1131 can also be arranged vertically on the upper and lower sides of the valve body element 113, in which case the drive motor 114 is arranged above or below the valve body element 113.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-split air conditioning system further includes a return air box 13 and a return air duct assembly 30. The return air box 13 is connected to the indoor unit 10; the return air duct assembly 30 includes a plurality of return air ducts 31, which are respectively connected to the return air box 13, and each return air duct 31 is provided with at least one return air outlet 32.

[0056] Specifically, the number and shape of the return air ducts 31 can be configured according to the number and location of rooms to ensure that each room has at least one return air vent 32. The return air box 13 is connected to the indoor unit 10 through a duct, and the return air box 13 is connected to multiple return air ducts 31 respectively. In this way, the indoor unit 10 can blow air into the room through the supply air duct 21 and the supply air vent 22, and complete the air circulation through the return air ducts 31 and the return air vent 32.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a filter assembly 33 is provided at the return air vent 32, and the filter assembly 33 is snapped onto the return air vent 32 by a snap-fit ​​connector.

[0058] Specifically, when the indoor unit 10 is running in recirculation mode, the filter assembly 33 can filter the recirculated air to improve the air quality in the room. At the same time, the filter assembly 33 can be snapped onto the edge of the return air vent 32 using clips or other fasteners to facilitate user installation or removal of the filter assembly 33.

[0059] In some embodiments, a guide hood is also provided at the return air vent 32, and the guide hood is installed on the outside of the filter assembly 33; wherein, the guide hood is snapped onto the return air vent 32 by a snap-fit.

[0060] Specifically, the air guide cover is equipped with multiple air guide grilles. These grilles ensure airflow while preventing debris from entering the return air inlet 32, thereby preventing damage to the return air duct 31 and the filter assembly 33. The air guide cover can be easily attached to the edge of the return air inlet 32 ​​using clips or other fasteners, allowing users to easily remove the air guide cover to install or remove the filter assembly 33.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the return air vent 32 is configured as a circular structure, and the filter assembly 33 and the air guide hood are both configured as circular structures corresponding to the return air vent 32.

[0062] Specifically, the return air vent 32 is configured with a circular structure, and the filter assembly 33 and the air guide hood are configured with a corresponding circular structure. This reduces the size of the return air vent 32, making it easier for users to install it in locations such as inside a wardrobe.

[0063] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the multi-split air conditioning system further includes a lighting assembly 40. The lighting assembly 40 is provided corresponding to the return air vent 32 or the supply air vent 22; wherein, the lighting assembly 40 is electrically connected to the indoor unit 10, and the indoor unit 10 can control the operating state of the lighting assembly 40 according to the operating state of the multi-split air conditioning system.

[0064] Specifically, the lighting component 40 is electrically connected to the indoor unit 10. In this way, the control device can adjust the lighting effects of the lighting component 40, such as color temperature or brightness, according to the operating status of the multi-split air conditioning system, to further enhance the user experience. For example, when the multi-split air conditioning system is operating in fresh air mode and the lighting component 40 is located at the air supply vent 22, the control device can control the lighting component 40 at the air supply vent 22 to emit cool white light. When the multi-split air conditioning system is operating in indoor circulation mode and the lighting component 40 is located at the return air vent 32, the control device can control the lighting component 40 at the return air vent 32 to emit a cool-colored breathing light effect.

[0065] When the lighting component 40 is disposed within the air supply vent 22, the size of the lighting component 40 is smaller than the size of the air supply vent 22, so that there is a gap between the lighting component 40 and the side wall of the air supply vent 22, thereby ensuring that air can circulate normally at the air supply vent 22. Similarly, when the lighting component 40 is disposed within the return air vent 32, the size of the lighting component 40 is smaller than the size of the return air vent 32, to ensure that air can circulate normally at the return air vent 32.

[0066] When the lighting component 40 is located on one side of the air supply vent 22, its shape and size correspond to the air supply vent 22. This shape-adaptive integration of the lighting component 40 with the air supply vent 22 solves the problem of high ceiling space occupancy caused by separate installations of the lighting and air conditioning systems in traditional multi-split air conditioning systems, avoids compromising the room's aesthetics, and improves the user experience. Similarly, when the lighting component 40 is located on one side of the return air vent 32, its shape and size correspond to the return air vent 32.

[0067] In some embodiments, the lighting assembly 40 includes a light track and a luminaire. The light track is provided with a mounting groove; the luminaire is mounted in the mounting groove of the light track; wherein the light track is disposed within an air supply vent 22 or an air return vent 32, or the light track is disposed on one side of the air supply vent 22 or the air return vent 32.

[0068] Specifically, when the lighting component 40 is located within the air supply vent 22 or the return air vent 32, the light track 41 can be directly fixed to the bottom wall of the air supply vent 22 or the return air vent 32, leaving a gap around the light track 41. When the lighting component 40 is located on one side of the air supply vent 22 or the return air vent 32, the light track 41 can be fixed to the side wall of the air supply duct 21 or the return air duct 31, or it can be directly fixed to a position in the room corresponding to the air outlet 121 or the return air vent 32. The dimensions of the light track 41 are less than or equal to the dimensions of the air supply duct 21 and the return air duct 31 to prevent the light track 41 from protruding from the air supply duct 21 or the return air duct 31 after installation. The depth of the mounting groove is greater than or equal to the height of the light fixture 42 so that the light fixture 42 can be completely embedded in the mounting groove.

[0069] In the above embodiments, the dimensions of the light track 41 include the height and width of the light track 41, and the dimensions of the air supply duct 21 and the return air duct 31 respectively include the height and width of the air supply duct 21 and the height and width of the return air duct 31.

[0070] The foregoing description and accompanying drawings fully illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments may include structural and other changes. The embodiments represent only possible variations. Individual components and functions are optional unless explicitly required, and the order of operation may vary. Parts and features of some embodiments may be included or substituted for parts and features of other embodiments.
