Air conditioner and air inlet device of indoor unit of air conditioner

Abstract

The invention discloses an air conditioner and an air inlet device of an indoor unit of the air conditioner. The air inlet device of the indoor unit of the air conditioner comprises an air inlet, a flexible shielding part and a driving mechanism; a face frame forms the air inlet in an encircling manner, the flexible shielding part can close the air inlet, and the driving mechanism drives the flexible shielding part to close or open the air inlet. The driving mechanism drives the flexible shielding part to open the air inlet when the air conditioner is in a working state, so that air circulation in a refrigerating or heating procedure is guaranteed; and the driving mechanism drives the flexible shielding part to close the air inlet when the air conditioner is in a non-working state, so that dust can be effectively prevented from falling into the air conditioner, the cleaning frequency for the dust inside the air conditioner can be reduced, and influence to the performance of the air conditioner is reduced. Compared with an air inlet structure of an air conditioner in the prior art, the air inlet device has the advantages that the service life of the air conditioner is prolonged, the air inlet device of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is concealed inside a shell of the air conditioner, the appearance of the traditional air conditioner is unchanged, and the air inlet device is simple in structure.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an air conditioner and an air inlet device of an indoor unit thereof. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, the air inlets of the air conditioner indoor units all adopt a grille structure, that is, no matter whether the air conditioner is in a working state or not, external dust can fall into the air conditioner through the grille, resulting in continuous accumulation of dust and dust inside the air conditioner. sundries, the user needs to clean the air conditioner frequently, otherwise it will affect the performance of the air conditioner. Especially when dust particles fall into the heat exchanger and need to be cleaned by professionals, the heat exchangers of most split wall-mounted air conditioners are not cleaned regularly. As a result, the heat exchange effect of the air conditioner is reduced and the use of Shortened lifespan. Contents of the inve...
