Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, after several months or a long period of refrigeration or dehumidification operation of most air conditioners, the water vapor in the air will condense (liquefaction process) to the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner and the inner wall of the air conditioner, such as figure 1 In addition, during the use of the air conditioner, dust in the air, human and animal hair, kitchen fume, etc. accumulate on the indoor heat exchanger and inner wall of the air conditioner to form attachments, and these moisture and attachments are easy to Bacteria breed, and when a large number of bacteria parasitize, the air conditioner will emit an unpleasant smell (ie, bacterial wind) every time the air conditioner is turned on, which seriously affects the health of users
[0003] Therefore, how to effectively sterilize the air conditioner, so as to prevent the wind with bacteria and unpleasant smell from affecting the user's health and improve the user's experience, has become a technical problem to be solved urgently.

Embodiment 1

[0065] Embodiment 1: When the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger rises above a first preset temperature, the air conditioner is sterilized.

[0066] In this embodiment, when the indoor fan of the air conditioner is turned off and the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger rises above the first preset temperature (that is, the effective sterilization temperature is reached) after the heating is started, the corresponding sterilization operation is started, In order to achieve a good bactericidal effect.

[0067] Wherein, the value range of the first preset temperature is preferably 45° C. to 100° C., so as to achieve a good sterilization effect without damaging the air conditioner components (especially plastic components) due to excessive temperature. The value depends on the specific situation.

Embodiment 2

[0068] Embodiment 2: When the air conditioner works in the heating mode for a second preset time, the air conditioner is sterilized.

[0069] In this embodiment, after the indoor fan of the air conditioner is turned off and the heating is started for a second preset time, the corresponding sterilization operation can be performed to achieve a good sterilization effect.

[0070] This embodiment can ensure that when the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger cannot reach the effective sterilization temperature due to abnormal operation of the air conditioner, the sterilization stage can be smoothly entered, wherein the value range of the second preset time is preferably 1 minute to 5 minutes , that is, the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger can be considered to be used for sterilization after the air conditioner has been heating for the second preset time, and the value depends on the specific situation.

[0071] Additionally, if Figure 4 As shown, the sterilizing oper...

Abstract

The invention provides a sterilization method and device used for an air conditioner and the air conditioner. The sterilization method used for the air conditioner includes the steps of receiving a sterilization starting command of a user and starting an indoor fan to work according to the sterilization starting command; and when the working time of the indoor fan reaches first preset time, stopping the indoor fan, opening a four-way valve and starting a compressor and an outdoor fan to enable the air conditioner to work in a heating mode so as to increase the temperature of an indoor heat exchanger, and accordingly executing sterilization operation on the air conditioner. By means of the technical scheme, the air conditioner can be effectively sterilized, health of the user is prevented from being affected by wind carrying bacteria and unpleasant smell, and the using experience of the user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a sterilizing method for an air conditioner, a sterilizing device for an air conditioner and an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] At present, after several months or a long period of refrigeration or dehumidification operation of most air conditioners, the water vapor in the air will condense (liquefaction process) to the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner and the inner wall of the air conditioner, such as figure 1 In addition, during the use of the air conditioner, dust in the air, human and animal hair, kitchen fume, etc. accumulate on the indoor heat exchanger and inner wall of the air conditioner to form attachments, and these moisture and attachments are easy to Bacteria can grow, and when a large number of bacteria parasitize, the air conditioner will emit an unpleasant smell (ie, bacterial wind) every time the air conditioner is turn...
