[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing severity of environmental pollution, indoor air quality has become a major concern. While traditional air conditioning systems can regulate temperature, they have many limitations in improving indoor air quality.
[0003] To improve indoor air quality, existing air conditioners are equipped with a fresh air function, which improves indoor ventilation by introducing fresh outdoor air. Furthermore, an oxygen generation module is also installed on the air conditioner to provide oxygen to the room.
[0004] However, in air conditioners that have both oxygen generation and fresh air functions, the oxygen generation air outlet and the fresh air outlet are usually combined, so that the generated oxygen is directly blown out through the fresh air outlet. This leads to the fresh air and oxygen generation air flow paths interfering with each other in the same module, resulting in a complex airflow path. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that solves the problem in existing air conditioners with oxygen generation functions where the oxygen outlet and fresh air outlet are shared, resulting in a complex airflow path within the air conditioner.

[0009] Furthermore, the oxygen output module includes: a mounting housing, which is detachably connected to the indoor unit housing, and an oxygen output channel is formed inside the mounting housing; and a filter component, which is disposed inside the oxygen output channel and detachably connected to the mounting housing, and the oxygen is filtered by the filter component and then blown into the room.
[0010] Furthermore, the oxygen output module also includes a flow monitoring component, at least a portion of which is disposed within and connected to the oxygen output channel, and the flow monitoring component is located on the outlet side of the filter component.
[0011] Furthermore, the oxygen output module also includes: an oxygen output channel, which is installed on the indoor unit casing and is used to output oxygen into the room; and a silencer component, which is connected to the oxygen output channel, and the oxygen in the oxygen output channel is blown out after flowing through the silencer component.
[0012] Furthermore, the oxygen output module also includes: an oxygen output channel, which is installed on the indoor unit casing and is used to output oxygen into the room; and a concentration detection component, which is located at the oxygen outlet of the oxygen output channel and detects the concentration of oxygen blown into the room.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] As mentioned in the background section, traditional air conditioning systems primarily focus on regulating indoor temperature and humidity to provide a comfortable living environment. However, with increasing demands for quality of life, particularly a growing concern for indoor air quality, the limitations of traditional air conditioning in improving indoor air quality have become increasingly apparent. Currently, many air conditioning systems are integrating fresh air and oxygen generation functions to address indoor air quality issues, aiming to create a healthier living space by introducing fresh outdoor air and supplementing indoor oxygen levels. In existing oxygen-generating air conditioners, the fresh air module and oxygen generation module are typically integrated, with the oxygen output channel sharing the fresh air channel. This leads to interference between the fresh air and oxygen-generating airflow paths within the same module, resulting in complex airflow paths. Therefore, to address the aforementioned technical problems, the air conditioner provided in this application includes an indoor unit casing 100, a fresh air module 200, and an oxygen generator 300. The fresh air module 200 is disposed on the indoor unit casing 100 and includes a fresh air duct for introducing fresh air into the room. At least a portion of the oxygen generator 300 is disposed on the indoor unit casing 100 and includes an oxygen output module 310, which is spaced apart from the fresh air duct and is used to output oxygen into the room. The spaced arrangement of the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310 ensures that the flow of fresh air and oxygen is not affected by each other, resulting in a simple and direct airflow path and improved air handling efficiency and quality. The introduction of fresh air is no longer affected by the oxygen generation process, and the output of oxygen is no longer interfered with by impurities in the fresh air, thereby achieving a purer supply of fresh air and oxygen. The independent channel design makes the airflow distribution more reasonable, and fresh air and oxygen are delivered to the room along the optimal path, reducing energy loss caused by cross-flow and improving the overall working efficiency of the air conditioner.
[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an air conditioner, including: an indoor unit housing 100; a fresh air module 200 disposed on the indoor unit housing 100, the fresh air module 200 including a fresh air duct for introducing fresh air into the room; and an oxygen generating device 300, at least a portion of which is disposed on the indoor unit housing 100, the oxygen generating device 300 including an oxygen output module 310, the oxygen output module 310 being spaced apart from the fresh air duct, the oxygen output module 310 for outputting oxygen into the room.
[0029] The air conditioner provided in this application includes an indoor unit casing 100, a fresh air module 200, and an oxygen generator 300. The fresh air module 200 is disposed on the indoor unit casing 100 and includes a fresh air duct for introducing fresh air into the room. At least a portion of the oxygen generator 300 is disposed on the indoor unit casing 100 and includes an oxygen output module 310. The oxygen output module 310 is spaced apart from the fresh air duct and is used to output oxygen into the room.
[0030] The separate fresh air duct and oxygen output module 310 design ensures independent flow of fresh air and oxygen, avoiding mixing and conflict between the two airflows within a single module. This improves the purity and precise control of the flow direction of each airflow. This design allows fresh air to directly and quickly replenish indoor air, while oxygen can be stably and continuously output, improving indoor air quality.
[0031] Through physical isolation in space, the noise generated by the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen generator 300 during operation will not be superimposed, greatly reducing the noise level of the entire system when the fresh air and oxygen generator functions are running simultaneously.
[0032] The fresh air module and the oxygen generator are two independent modules, each with its own independent channels and functional areas. This not only simplifies the subsequent maintenance process, such as when replacing the filter or repairing parts, but also allows for targeted operations without affecting the overall system. It also facilitates system upgrades or module replacements, increasing the product's flexibility and maintainability.
[0033] Specifically, the air conditioner also includes: a first mounting part 110 disposed at the first end of the indoor unit housing 100, the first mounting part 110 having a first mounting cavity 111, at least a portion of the fresh air module 200 being installed in the first mounting cavity 111; and a second mounting part 120 disposed at the second end of the indoor unit housing 100, the second mounting part 120 having a second mounting cavity, at least a portion of the oxygen output module 310 being installed in the second mounting cavity.
[0034] The setup of the first installation section 110 and the second installation section 120 enables the modular installation of the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310. This means that the two can be installed, maintained, or updated independently without affecting each other, enhancing the scalability and flexibility of the equipment.
[0035] By installing the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310 in the first mounting cavity 111 and the second mounting cavity at both ends of the indoor unit casing 100, respectively, the airflow path is further optimized. Fresh air can enter directly from one side, be treated, and then enter the room; while high-purity oxygen produced by oxygen generation is output from the other side, avoiding mixing and interference of airflow during transmission and ensuring the quality of fresh air and oxygen.
[0036] Since the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310 are in relatively independent spaces, they can be soundproofed separately. In particular, the oxygen output module 310 may generate a lot of noise when it is running. Through the soundproofing design of the second mounting part 120, the noise transmission can be effectively reduced, creating a quieter indoor environment.
[0037] In the specific implementation process, the second mounting part 120 further includes: a mounting opening 121, which communicates with the second mounting cavity, through which at least a portion of the oxygen output module 310 is mounted into the second mounting cavity; and a baffle 122, which is movably disposed at the mounting opening 121 so that the mounting opening 121 can be opened or closed.
[0038] The installation opening 121 provides a convenient entry point for the installation of the oxygen output module 310, eliminating the need to completely disassemble the indoor unit casing of the air conditioner, greatly simplifying the installation process and reducing installation difficulty and time costs.
[0039] The movable nature of the baffle 122 allows the installation opening 121 to be closed after installation, protecting the oxygen output module 310 from external environmental factors such as dust and moisture, while also reducing potential safety hazards such as foreign object entry and electric shock risk.
[0040] The design of the mounting opening 121 and the baffle 122 effectively isolates the noise of the oxygen output module 310 inside the second mounting cavity, reducing the transmission of noise into the indoor space. When closed, the baffle 122 also provides some sound insulation, further enhancing the quietness of the air conditioner.
[0041] In the embodiments provided in this application, the oxygen output module 310 includes: a mounting housing 320, which is detachably connected to the indoor unit housing 100, and an oxygen output channel 321 is formed inside the mounting housing 320; a filter component 330 of the oxygen output channel 321 is disposed inside the oxygen output channel 321 and detachably connected to the mounting housing 320, and oxygen is blown into the room after being filtered by the filter component 330.
[0042] The oxygen output module 310 has a detachable connection between its mounting housing 320 and the indoor unit housing 100, allowing the oxygen generator to be easily removed for cleaning, inspection, or replacement when necessary, without having to completely disassemble the air conditioner. This greatly facilitates daily maintenance, shortens maintenance time, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0043] The filter element 330 is located within the oxygen output channel 321 and can perform deep filtration of the oxygen generated during the oxygen production process. This includes removing impurities such as particles, bacteria, and viruses that may remain during the oxygen production process, ensuring that the output oxygen is highly pure and harmless to health.
[0044] Because the filter element 330 in the oxygen output channel 321 can be replaced individually, it can continuously protect the core components during the operation of the oxygen output module 310, preventing performance degradation or malfunction caused by the accumulation of impurities. Regularly replacing the filter element 330 can effectively extend the service life of the oxygen generator and maintain its long-term stable operation.
[0045] The detachable mounting housing 320 design allows the oxygen output module 310 to be adjusted or upgraded according to different usage scenarios and needs, such as replacing the filter components with higher efficiency or larger capacity, or installing a new oxygen generator with more additional functions, without replacing the entire air conditioning system, thus enhancing the product's adaptability and flexibility.
[0046] Furthermore, in the specific implementation process, the oxygen output module 310 also includes: a flow monitoring component 340, at least a portion of which is disposed in the oxygen output channel 321 and communicates with the oxygen output channel 321, and the flow monitoring component 340 is located on the outlet side of the filter component 330.
[0047] The flow monitoring component 340 can directly measure the oxygen flow rate within the oxygen output channel 321. This real-time monitoring capability allows the air conditioning system to dynamically adjust the operating status of the oxygen generator based on indoor demand and set parameters, ensuring that the indoor oxygen concentration is maintained within an ideal range. For example, when exercise or breathing demand increases, the system can automatically increase the oxygen output, and vice versa, thereby achieving precise control of oxygen supply.
[0048] Since the flow monitoring component 340 is located on the outlet side of the filter component 330, this means that only filtered and purified oxygen is monitored and output. This not only ensures that users inhale filtered, high-quality oxygen, but also avoids interference from unfiltered gas with the monitoring results, ensuring the accuracy of the monitoring data, and thus guaranteeing the safety and effectiveness of oxygen output.
[0049] By monitoring oxygen flow rate in real time, the system can intelligently determine changes in oxygen demand and adjust the operating power of the oxygen generator 300 accordingly, avoiding energy waste caused by excessive oxygen production. During periods of low demand, such as at night or when the system is unattended, the flow monitoring component 340 can help the system automatically reduce the oxygen production rate, saving power consumption.
[0050] Flow monitoring data can be integrated into the user interface, such as displaying oxygen output via a screen or smartphone app, helping users intuitively understand the indoor oxygen status. This transparency not only enhances users' trust in the air conditioner's functions but also makes operation more convenient, allowing them to manually adjust the oxygen flow according to their individual health needs or activity levels.
[0051] In this application, the oxygen output module 310 further includes: an oxygen output channel 321, which is disposed on the indoor unit housing 100 and is used to output oxygen to the room; and a silencer 350, which is connected to the oxygen output channel 321, and the oxygen in the oxygen output channel 321 is blown out after flowing through the silencer 350.
[0052] The addition of the silencing component 350 effectively absorbs or reduces airflow noise generated during oxygen output. Since the oxygen production process involves gas compression and release, it typically produces a certain level of noise. This design allows the air conditioner to maintain a lower noise level when operating its oxygen production function, creating a quieter living environment.
[0053] The silencing component 350 not only silences the oxygen output module 310 itself, but also works in conjunction with other noise reduction measures, such as the sound insulation design of the fresh air component and the optimization of the internal structure of the air conditioner, to form a quiet air conditioning system.
[0054] Furthermore, the oxygen output module 310 also includes: an oxygen output channel 321, which is disposed on the indoor unit housing 100 for outputting oxygen into the room; and a concentration detection component 360, which is located at the oxygen outlet 311 of the oxygen output channel 321, and detects the concentration of oxygen blown into the room.
[0055] The 360° concentration detection component monitors the oxygen concentration at the oxygen outlet in real time, ensuring that the output oxygen quality always meets preset standards. Through linkage with the control system, when the detected oxygen concentration falls below the set value, the system automatically adjusts the operating parameters of the oxygen generation module, such as increasing the oxygen generation rate or adjusting the oxygen output, thereby maintaining the indoor oxygen concentration within a predetermined healthy range. This precise control capability avoids potential health risks caused by excessively high or low oxygen concentrations.
[0056] Oxygen is a combustion-supporting gas, and excessively high concentrations can increase the risk of fire or explosion. By installing concentration detection components at the oxygen outlet, safety hazards caused by excessively high oxygen concentrations can be detected and prevented in a timely manner. Once the concentration exceeds the safe range, the system can immediately take measures such as suspending oxygen production and activating ventilation to ensure the personal and property safety of users.
[0057] By monitoring oxygen concentration in real time, the system can dynamically adjust the operation of the oxygen generator according to actual needs, avoiding energy waste caused by excessive oxygen production. For example, when the user is not present or the indoor oxygen concentration is already high enough, the system can automatically reduce the workload of the oxygen generator, saving electricity and reducing operating costs.
[0058] By integrating concentration detection components, the air conditioner has the ability to monitor and adjust itself, reducing the frequency of manual intervention by users and improving the intelligence and automation level of system operation.
[0059] The oxygen output module 310 also includes an oxygen output channel 321, which is installed on the indoor unit housing 100 and is used to output oxygen to the room; the air conditioner also includes an air outlet duct 400, and the oxygen outlet 311 of the oxygen output channel 321 is located on the side wall of the air outlet duct 400.
[0060] Positioning the oxygen outlet 311 on the side wall of the air outlet duct 400, rather than directly opposite or at the bottom, helps to ensure a more even distribution of oxygen in the indoor space. When the air conditioner is running, oxygen can be released from the side and mixed with the regular cooling or heating air. Through the diffusion effect of the air outlet duct 400, the oxygen can be more naturally and evenly integrated into the indoor air, avoiding the problem of excessively high or low local oxygen concentrations and creating a healthier and more balanced indoor breathing environment.
[0061] This side-wall outlet design reduces airflow resistance during oxygen output. Compared to direct exhaust from the top or front, oxygen flows more smoothly within the outlet duct 400, reducing airflow rebound and energy loss caused by direct exhaust, and improving the efficiency and quietness of oxygen output.
[0062] The oxygen outlet 311 is cleverly integrated into the side wall of the air outlet duct 400, avoiding additional openings and exposed pipes, thus enhancing the overall integration and aesthetics of the equipment.
[0063] The 400mm air outlet design effectively guides the direction of oxygen discharge, preventing oxygen from blowing directly onto the user and reducing potential safety risks, such as discomfort caused by excessive inhalation of high concentrations of oxygen. Simultaneously, the side-wall outlet design prevents children or other personnel from accidentally accessing the oxygen outlet, increasing safety during use.
[0064] An oxygen outlet 311 is provided on the side wall of the air outlet duct 400, which provides greater flexibility for the internal layout of the air conditioner. This helps to optimize the space configuration of components such as the electrical box, fresh air module 200, and oxygen generator 300, making the internal structure of the air conditioner more compact and reasonable, which is conducive to reducing costs and improving production efficiency.
[0065] The design of the air outlet duct 400 allows for better control of the direction and speed of oxygen delivery. Combined with the oxygen concentration meter and flow meter in the oxygen generator 300, it can precisely adjust the distribution and content of indoor oxygen, ensuring that oxygen replenishment is both sufficient and appropriate, meeting users' high requirements for indoor air quality.
[0066] The air conditioner also includes an outdoor unit housing 500, and the oxygen generating device 300 also includes an oxygen generating component 370, which is installed inside the outdoor unit housing 500 and is used to generate oxygen. The oxygen generating component 370 is connected to the oxygen output module 310 through an oxygen pipe 380.
[0067] By placing the oxygen generating unit 370 outdoors, it is possible to use cleaner outdoor air as raw material, avoiding the entry of pollutants that may exist in indoor air into the oxygen generation process, thereby improving the purity and quality of the produced oxygen.
[0068] The oxygen generator assembly 370 typically generates some noise during operation. By placing it inside the outdoor unit housing 500, this noise source can be isolated from the indoor environment, significantly reducing indoor noise levels and creating a quieter living and working environment.
[0069] Outdoor air temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions are generally more favorable for oxygen extraction and concentration. Generating oxygen outdoors utilizes more suitable natural conditions, improving oxygen production efficiency and reducing energy consumption. Furthermore, the increased distance between the oxygen generating component 370 and the oxygen output module 310 allows for the implementation of insulation or pressurization measures during oxygen transmission through the oxygen pipe, further enhancing oxygen delivery efficiency and reducing power consumption.
[0070] Placing the oxygen generator outdoors reduces the space occupied inside the indoor unit, making the air conditioner design more compact, which not only improves aesthetics but also optimizes the indoor space layout.
[0071] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes an electrical box assembly 600, which and the fresh air module 200 are respectively disposed at the first end of the indoor unit casing 100; the oxygen output module 310 is disposed at the second end of the indoor unit casing 100.
[0072] The separate design of the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310 avoids mutual interference between the fresh air and oxygen airflows, ensuring that they operate independently and efficiently. The fresh air module 200 is responsible for introducing and processing outdoor air, while the oxygen generator 300 focuses on providing pure oxygen. This clear division of labor helps optimize indoor air quality and circulation efficiency.
[0073] The electrical box assembly 600 and the fresh air module 200 are laid out on the same side, which shortens the electrical connection distance between the two, simplifies the wiring design, reduces the possibility of signal transmission delay and interference, and makes the control and monitoring of the fresh air module 200 more accurate, improving the system's response speed and control precision.
[0074] The centralized layout of the electrical box assembly 600 and the fresh air module 200 facilitates quick inspection and repair by maintenance personnel, reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, this layout provides a more convenient access point for future upgrades to the fresh air module 200 or the addition of additional functions such as intelligent air purification and humidity control, without requiring large-scale modifications to the entire unit.
[0075] The electrical box assembly 600 and the fresh air module 200 typically generate some operating noise, and the oxygen generator may also produce some noise during operation. Placing the electrical box and the fresh air module at the same end allows for the concentrated application of sound insulation technology and materials, effectively reducing indoor noise levels and providing a quieter living environment. Meanwhile, placing the oxygen generator at the other end further helps to reduce its noise impact on the indoor environment.
[0076] Although the electrical box assembly 600 is physically adjacent to the fresh air module 200, they are logically separated from the oxygen generator 300, allowing each module to focus on its core function. This layout facilitates independent control and data exchange between modules, enhancing the overall coordination and efficiency of the system.
[0077] The air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. In this application, the oxygen generating component 370 can be designed either in the outdoor unit or the indoor unit. The indoor unit has an oxygen output module 310 and a fresh air module 200 designed at both ends. The fresh air component is connected to a fresh air duct via a duct connector, leading to the outdoor side to introduce fresh outdoor air. The oxygen generating and supplying module is connected to the outdoor oxygen generating component 370 via an oxygen pipe 380, supplying oxygen to the indoor unit. The following will describe this in detail using the example of the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310 being designed on both sides of the indoor unit.
[0078] The oxygen output module 310 of the oxygen generator 300 mainly includes: oxygen output channel, flow meter, oxygen filter, silencer, oxygen pipe, oxygen concentration meter, etc.
[0079] A typical fresh air module includes: a volute, a volute cover, fan blades, and a filter.
[0080] In this application, the fresh air module 200 is designed on the right side of the indoor unit, closer to the electrical box. Compared with the fresh air component designed on the side farther away from the electrical box, the motor wire connecting it to the main board can be shortened.
[0081] The oxygen output module 310 of the oxygen generator 300 in this application is designed on the other side of the air conditioner. This independence between the fresh air component and the oxygen output module facilitates separate maintenance for after-sales faults, prevents noise from accumulating during simultaneous operation, and improves overall quiet operation. The oxygen generator module includes an oxygen generating component 370 and an oxygen output module 310. The oxygen generating component 370 can be designed within the indoor oxygen generator module or on the outdoor side. A filter is incorporated within the oxygen output module to filter the oxygen, and a flow meter detects the oxygen delivery rate. Together with an oxygen detector, it regulates the indoor oxygen concentration.
[0082] The oxygen generation and air supply module features a separate high-efficiency filter indoors, independent of the filter shared with the fresh air unit, ensuring thorough filtration of impurities and odors in the oxygen. Since the fresh air module draws in outdoor air, which typically contains dust and other impurities, its filter usually wears out quickly. Separate filter designs effectively extend the lifespan of the oxygen filter.
[0083] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0084] The air conditioner provided in this application includes an indoor unit casing 100, a fresh air module 200, and an oxygen generator 300. The fresh air module 200 is disposed on the indoor unit casing 100 and includes a fresh air duct for introducing fresh air into the room. At least a portion of the oxygen generator 300 is disposed on the indoor unit casing 100 and includes an oxygen output module 310. The oxygen output module 310 is spaced apart from the fresh air duct and is used to output oxygen into the room.
[0085] The separate fresh air duct and oxygen output module 310 design ensures independent flow of fresh air and oxygen, avoiding mixing and conflict between the two airflows within a single module. This improves the purity and precise control of the flow direction of each airflow. This design allows fresh air to directly and quickly replenish indoor air, while oxygen can be stably and continuously output, improving indoor air quality.
[0086] Through physical isolation in space, the noise generated by the fresh air module 200 and the oxygen generator 300 during operation will not be superimposed, greatly reducing the noise level of the entire system when the fresh air and oxygen generator functions are running simultaneously.
[0087] The fresh air module 200 is installed on one side of the electrical box assembly 600. The wiring of the fresh air module 200 is simpler and the wire length is shorter.
[0088] The fresh air module 200 and the oxygen output module 310 are installed on both sides of the indoor unit of the air conditioner. They are independent modules, which facilitates after-sales installation and maintenance.
[0089] The fact that the oxygen generation and fresh air flow paths do not interfere with each other and that the two components are far apart is beneficial in reducing the noise problem when they operate simultaneously.
[0090] The fresh air and oxygen generators are installed on both sides of the indoor unit, providing a more intuitive display for users with both modules.

It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.
[0093] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0094] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.
[0095] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in sequences other than those illustrated or described herein.
[0096] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
