Problems solved by technology

[0002] Existing air conditioners are generally provided with a filter at the air inlet to filter the air entering the air conditioner to improve the indoor air quality. However, after long-term use, a lot of dust and dirt will adhere to the air filter. If it is not cleaned in time, the circulating air volume through the heat exchanger will be reduced, which will not only affect the cooling and heating effect, increase energy consumption, but also affect the indoor air quality; at the same time, the indoor heat exchanger will be connected with the air contact, heat exchange
Due to the dust in the air, it has been deposited on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger for a long time, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger and easily breeds bacteria in it, resulting in the air blown from the air outlet of the air conditioner to have a peculiar smell

Embodiment approach

[0055] When the air conditioner is in the open state, it is regularly detected whether the filter screen 10 of the air conditioner needs to be cleaned. There are many detection methods for whether the filter screen 10 needs to be cleaned. Two implementations are listed below. In one implementation, Detect the dust on the filter screen 10 to judge whether it needs to be cleaned; a dust detection device can be set in the air conditioner near the filter screen 10, and the controller can judge the filter screen 10 by detecting the dust accumulation degree on the filter screen 10. Does it need to be cleaned. For example, a light emitter is set on one side of the filter 10, and a light receiver is set on the other side of the filter 10, and whether there is dust and the degree of dust on the filter 10 is judged according to the amount of light received by the light receiver.

[0056] In another embodiment, the controller records the running time of the air conditioner since the last...

Abstract

The invention discloses an air conditioner. The air conditioner comprises a controller, an indoor heat exchanger, a filter screen and a dust removing device, wherein the dust removing device is used for cleaning the filter screen. The controller is used for controlling the air conditioner to operate in a refrigeration mode when the filter screen needs to be cleaned, and thus the indoor heat exchanger can be cleaned. After the indoor heat exchanger is cleaned, the air conditioner is controlled to continuously operate in the refrigeration mode, and the dust removing device is controlled to clean the filter screen through condensate water produced by the air conditioner. The invention further provides a cleaning control method of the air conditioner. According to the air conditioner and the cleaning control method of the air conditioner, the indoor heat exchanger and the filter screen of the air conditioner are automatically cleaned.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner and a cleaning control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Existing air conditioners are generally provided with a filter at the air inlet to filter the air entering the air conditioner to improve the indoor air quality. However, after long-term use, a lot of dust and dirt will adhere to the air filter. If it is not cleaned in time, the circulating air volume through the heat exchanger will be reduced, which will not only affect the cooling and heating effect, increase energy consumption, but also affect the indoor air quality; at the same time, the indoor heat exchanger will be connected with the Air contact for heat exchange. Due to the dust in the air, it has been deposited on the surface of the indoor heat exchanger for a long time, which reduces the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger and easily breeds bacteria in it, ...
