Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a field of household appliances, in particular,
to an air conditioner indoor unit.
Technical Background
[0002] In recent years, due to a rapid expansion of an economic scale and a rapid urbanization
process, air pollution is becoming more and more serious, and perennial fog and haze
weather has appeared in most cities in China. Increase of PM2.5 concentration directly
leads to a frequent occurrence of the dust and haze weather and a sharp increase of
toxic and harmful substances in fog, which has seriously threatened human health.
In this case, a conventional and comfort household air conditioner cannot meet requirements
of people, and health, comfort, and environmental protection have become development
goals of modern air conditioners.
[0003] For an ordinary air conditioner, in order to ensure an air conditioning effect thereof,
it is required that an air-conditioned room must be closed. As a result, indoor fine
dust, smoke, bacteria, virus, and waste gas increase continuously, and oxygen content
decreases continuously, so that air quality becomes worse and worse. In recent years,
with people's increasing attention to an "air conditioning disease", it has begun
to require people not to stay in an air-conditioned room for a long time, and to open
windows to let in fresh air, or to supplement fresh air to the room by means of leakage
through gaps between doors and windows under a negative pressure formed by indoor
exhaust, so as to improve the indoor environment.
[0004] At present, there is not only a single purifier of air filtration system, but also
a purifier of pure fresh air system which combines a total heat exchanger and an air
filter system for energy saving, which can be used to solve an indoor air pollution
problem.
[0005] Development trend of air conditioner requires the following functions in addition
to that of an ordinary air conditioner:
- (1) Exchanging fresh air;
- (2) Eliminating pollution and purifying air;
- (3) Energy saving and heat recovery.

[0046] In an embodiment, the fresh air device 2000 further includes a heat exchange core
2400 provided in the fresh air housing 2100, and the heat exchange core 2400 communicates
with both the fresh air passage 2200 and the polluted air passage 2300 so that the
fresh air in the fresh air passage 2200 and the polluted air in the polluted air passage
2300 exchange heat in the heat exchange core 2400. By combining an ordinary air conditioner
with a total heat exchange, the fresh air may be introduced to renew the indoor air,
and the indoor polluted air is discharged to improve air quality. The fresh air and
the polluted air may exchange energy through a total heat exchanger to recover energy,
thereby reducing an energy loss.
[0047] The air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention mainly includes two portions,
i.e. an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion is the cooling and heating
device 1000, and the lower portion is the fresh air device 2000. Assembly and disassembly
of various parts of the air conditioner indoor unit are shown in FIGS. 8 to 17.
[0048] In an embodiment, the cooling and heating device 1000 includes an air intake panel
portion 1100, an evaporator portion 1200, an air duct portion 1300, an air out frame
portion 1400, and a top cover 1600.
[0049] In a specific implementation, the air intake panel portion 1100 includes an air inlet
panel and an air inlet filter screen.
[0050] In a specific implementation, the evaporator portion 1200 includes an evaporator,
a side plate, an evaporator bracket, and a water receiving tray.
[0051] In a specific implementation, the air duct portion 1300 includes an air duct, a cross-flow
fan, an air out panel, a sweeping blade, an air passage driving motor, and an air
passage driving gear.
[0052] In a specific implementation, the evaporator portion 1200 is fixed to the air intake
panel portion 1100 by upper, lower, left and right screws.
[0053] In a specific implementation, the air duct portion 1300 is fixed to the evaporator
portion 1200 and the air intake panel portion 1100 by snaps provided at left and right
sides.
[0054] In an embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the fresh air device 2000 further includes
a motor 2500, fresh air blades 2600, air exhaust blades 2700, a first filter screen
2800, and a second filter screen 2900.
[0055] In an embodiment, in the fresh air device, the motor 2500 drives the fresh air blades
2600 and the air exhaust blades 2700 to rotate, and indoor polluted air is discharged
to the outdoors through the polluted air passage 2300 and the heat exchange core 2400.
Outdoor fresh air is introduced into the indoors through the fresh air passage 2200,
the first filter screen 2800, the heat exchange core 2400, and the first filter screen
2800. The polluted air and the fresh air exchange sensible heat and latent heat in
the heat exchange core 2400.
[0056] For example, in summer, an outdoor air temperature is higher than an indoor air temperature,
and the fresh air passes through the heat exchange core 2400, and part of energy is
transferred to indoor polluted air and discharged from the indoors, thus achieving
a cooling effect.
[0057] For example, in winter, an outdoor air temperature is lower than an indoor air temperature,
and the fresh air absorbs part of energy from the polluted air through the heat exchange
core 2400 to achieve an effect of increasing temperature.
[0058] In this way, it can be realized that a temperature of introduced fresh air is not
too high or too low, thus avoiding causing a serious increase of load or human body
discomfort after introduction of the fresh air. What's more, the polluted air discharged
transfers part of energy to the fresh air or absorbs part of energy from the fresh
air, thereby avoiding an energy waste.
[0059] In an embodiment, when the fresh air passes through the first filter screen 2800
and the second filter screen 2900, a cleaning effect can be achieved, thereby improving
quality of indoor air. The fresh air blows upward and forward through the fresh air
outlet 2220, and may be brought to farther locations by air blowing from a fan of
the cooling and heating device 1000, thereby preventing the short circuit between
the fresh air and the polluted air.
[0060] In an embodiment, please refer to FIGS. 18 to 24, the air conditioner indoor unit
includes an air outlet structure connected to the fresh air device 2000. The air outlet

second position, so as to close and block the receiving hole when the air baffle portion
70 moves to the first position, and separate the air baffle portion 70 from the receiving
hole when the air baffle portion 70 moves to the second position, thereby allowing
the air conditioner indoor unit to blow air through a gap between the receiving hole
and the air baffle portion 70. By providing the air baffle portion 70 and the moving
portion 30, and by arranging the moving portion 30 to move in the extending direction
of the receiving hole, the air baffle portion 70 is driven to extend and contract.
The moving portion 30 may drive the air baffle portion 70 to extend and contract conveniently
and quickly. The air conditioner indoor unit has a simple structure, operates stably
and reliably, and saves the cost, and the assembly efficiency thereof is higher.
[0062] Where, the moving portion 30 enables the air baffle portion 70 to extend outward
when the air conditioner indoor unit works, and enables the air baffle portion 70
to retract into the indoor unit panel 50, making the appearance aligned and beautiful
when the air conditioner indoor unit stops working.
[0063] In an embodiment, the moving portion 30 includes a support member 31 connected to
the air out duct housing 60, and the air baffle portion 70 is movably provided relative
to the support member 31 and slidably connected to the support member 31 to support
the air baffle portion 70.
[0064] In order to achieve extension and contraction of the air baffle portion 70, the moving
portion 30 further includes a transmission assembly 32 which is in transmission connection
with the air baffle portion 70, to drive the air baffle portion 70 to move.
[0065] In an embodiment, the transmission assembly 32 includes a transmission gear 321 and
a transmission rack 322 meshing with the transmission gear 321. The transmission gear
321 is in transmission connection with the transmission rack 322, and the air baffle
portion 70 is connected with the transmission rack 322, so that the air baffle portion
70 moves under the action of the transmission gear 321 and the transmission rack 322.
Such an arrangement makes the air conditioner outdoor unit have a simple structure
and operate stably and reliably, and to be installed conveniently, thereby saving
the cost.
[0066] In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 18, the moving portion 30 further includes a support
member 31 to which the air baffle portion 70 is slidably connected, and a moving member
33. The moving member 33 is slidably connected to the supporting member 31 and positioned
above the supporting member 31. The transmission rack 322 is arranged on the moving
member 33, and the air baffle portion 70 is fixedly connected to the moving member
33, so that the air baffle portion 70 moves under the drive of the moving portion
33.
[0067] In a specific implementation, the moving member 33 has a third receiving space 331
