The identification mechanism and the cleaning mechanism 2 are electrically connected, and the cleaning mechanism 2 can adjust the cleaning position according to the identification result of the identification mechanism.
[0039] By placing the vehicle air conditioner to be cleaned on the tray 12, and placing the tray 12 on the conveyor line 11, the conveyor line 11 drives the tray 12 to move above the cleaning area. Then, the image recognition technology of the recognition mechanism is used to identify the model of the vehicle air conditioner to be cleaned in real time. Since the recognition mechanism and the cleaning mechanism 2 are electrically connected, the recognition mechanism can transmit the specific model information of the identified vehicle air conditioner to the cleaning mechanism 2 through an electrical signal. The surface cleaning component 21 can adjust the cleaning trajectory according to the feedback information of the recognition mechanism, and the spray component 22 can adjust the spray angle according to the feedback information of the recognition mechanism, so as to flexibly adjust the working position and cleaning intensity of the cleaning mechanism 2, and the cleaning efficiency is high. Then, the cleaning liquid is continuously and stably transported to the cleaning mechanism 2 by the liquid supply mechanism 3 to clean the vehicle air conditioner, and the cleaned vehicle air conditioner is transported to the unloading area. Through the cleaning mechanism 2, the surface cleaning component 21 is used to clean the surface of the vehicle air conditioner, and the spray component 22 is used to clean the bottom cavity, which can ensure that the cleaning coverage is more comprehensive and the cleaning effect is more thorough; the padding member 121 on any edge of the tray 12 is used to lift one side of the vehicle air conditioner, so that the vehicle air conditioner is kept in an inclined state during the cleaning process, and the cleaning waste water is made to flow downward by gravity to optimize the drainage effect of the bottom cavity, so that the waste water can be quickly discharged from the vehicle air conditioner, reducing the impact of accumulated water on the cleaning efficiency, avoiding the waste water from being retained in the internal cavity or surface of the air conditioner to cause corrosion or mold growth, and ensuring the use effect of the vehicle air conditioner after cleaning. and the improvement of the air quality in the car; the sinking structure design of the cleaning area can accommodate the spray component 22 and the cleaning waste liquid; the hollow bottom of the tray 12 can avoid the tray 12 from blocking the spray component 22, so that the cleaning liquid of the spray component 22 directly acts on the bottom hole cavity of the vehicle air conditioner, ensuring that there is no dead angle in the cleaning, and at the same time it is also convenient for the cleaning waste water to flow into the sinking area for centralized discharge, avoiding the residue of cleaning waste water in the cleaning area, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning environment; the tray 12 automatically moves along the loading area, the cleaning area and the unloading area through the conveyor line 11, so that the entire cleaning process can be streamlined, with a high degree of automation and improved work efficiency.
[0040] In order to improve the recognition efficiency of the recognition mechanism, in some embodiments, the recognition mechanism includes a waterproof camera and a data processing sensor. The waterproof camera is installed in the cleaning area and is located on the spray assembly 22. The data processing sensor is located on one side of the waterproof camera, and the waterproof camera, the data processing sensor and the cleaning mechanism 2 are electrically connected. Among them, since the sizes and shapes of the bottom cavities of vehicle air conditioners of different models are different, when the vehicle air conditioner is transported from the tray 12 to the top of the cleaning area, the waterproof camera takes a photo of the bottom cavity of the current vehicle air conditioner and transmits the photo to the data processing sensor in the form of an electrical signal.

[0041] Specifically, the cushioning member 121 is made of flexible material, which may be but is not limited to nylon material. This material can not only automatically discharge residual liquid inside the air conditioner after cleaning, but also has a buffering effect, which can effectively prevent damage to the bottom of the vehicle air conditioner.
[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to prevent the vehicle air conditioner from moving, in some embodiments, the tray 12 also includes a first limit member 122, and the limit member is adjustably disposed on the side of the bottom plate of the tray 12 to limit the movement of the vehicle air conditioner; the first limit member 122 can effectively fix the position of the vehicle air conditioner to avoid the movement of the vehicle air conditioner due to external force, liquid scouring, and the problem that the vehicle air conditioner may tilt and slide due to the raising member 121 during the cleaning process, thereby ensuring the stability of the cleaning operation; since the first limit member 122 is adjustable on the side of the bottom plate of the tray 12, it can adapt to vehicle air conditioners of different models, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the system.
[0043] In order to speed up the discharge of waste liquid, in some embodiments, the bottom plate of the tray 12 is designed as a grid-type hollow structure, wherein the grid-type hollow structure effectively reduces the material consumption of the bottom plate of the tray 12, reduces the manufacturing cost, and can also significantly improve the discharge efficiency of waste liquid during the cleaning process, avoid waste liquid from being retained on the tray 12, and reduce bacterial growth. It is understandable that the tray 12 can be, but is not limited to, a grid-type hollow structure formed by welding hollow tubes, which is not specifically limited here.

It can be understood that the lifting drive member 132 can be, but is not limited to, a lifting cylinder, which is not limited here. In addition, in order to protect the tray 12, a stopper is provided on the side where the tray 12 contacts the second limiter 131. The stopper may be made of elastic material, such as a silicone pad or a rubber pad, which has a buffering effect and can effectively reduce the risk of friction and collision between the tray 12 and the second limiter 131, thereby protecting the tray 12 from damage and extending its service life.

[0058] Afterwards, the clean water supply component 31 in the liquid supply mechanism 3 is started, and the spray component 22 performs reciprocating swing cleaning on the bottom cavity of the vehicle air conditioner along the set spray angle;
[0059] Finally, after the cleaning is completed, the limit assembly 13 is lowered, the conveyor line 11 is restarted, and the driving tray 12 conveys the cleaned vehicle air conditioner to the unloading area.
