Embodiment Construction

[0022] Self-cleaning means that under the condition of no addition of detergent and artificial machinery, only under the action of natural forces such as wind, rain and gravity, the dirt on the surface of the material will automatically fall off to achieve the self-cleaning effect, including the decomposition of organic matter into inorganic matter, inhibition Bacteria sterilization, natural exfoliation of inorganic substances and other functions.

[0023] In the prior art, super-hydrophobic treatment is carried out on the water channel of the air conditioner, and the condensed water of the air conditioner is discharged outdoors in time through the super-hydrophobic performance of the water channel, so as to prevent the accumulation of water in the water channel of the air conditioner from breeding bacteria, and at the same time, dust and other substances will also be discharged with the water flow. However, the existing superhydrophobicity generally works through the micro-nan...

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-cleaning water channel and an air conditioner. The self-cleaning water channel comprises a base material of the water channel, wherein the base material is coated with ahydrophilic-hydrophobic conversion coating. The hydrophilic-hydrophobic conversion coating of the invention can form a water film on the surface of the water channel when the coating is hydrophilic,so dust is prevented from touching the surface of the water channel and substances such as dust in air can be accepted; and water drops can be formed by the water film and water vapor in air when thecoating is hydrophobic and the water drops roll to take away dust in the vapor, so automatic cleaning of the water channel can be ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to a self-cleaning water channel and an air conditioner. Background technique [0002] Condensed water will be generated during the operation of the air conditioner, which will be collected through the water channel and then discharged to the outside through the drain pipe. With the prolongation of use time, the waterway has been in a humid and warm environment suitable for the growth of bacteria and molds for a long time. On the one hand, the proliferation of bacteria and molds will affect the quality of indoor air. The combined effect of dust further increases the pollution and clogging problems of the air conditioner. [0003] In order to solve this problem, the common method in the industry is to carry out antibacterial treatment on air-conditioning waterways, but the antibacterial mechanism of existing antibacterial coatings or antibacterial materials is contact sterilization, ...
