[0036] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0037] Combined with appendix Figure 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a filter screen easy-to-disassemble and clean mechanism, including an air inlet panel 1, a housing 2, a filter screen mounting bracket 3, a filter screen assembly 4, and a filter screen cover 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, the air intake panel 1 is generally an air intake panel 1 of an air conditioner or an air intake panel 1 of other air handling equipment. The air intake panel 1 is provided with an opening 11, and a grille 12 for air intake and exhaust is installed at the opening 11. Of course, the air intake panel 1 can be other structural forms. Since the improvement focus of this embodiment is not on this, the structure of this embodiment will not be specifically described.

[0039] In this embodiment, the housing 2 mainly serves a supporting and connecting function. The housing 2 can also be called a support frame. The housing 2 is mounted on the chassis 6, and the chassis 6 supports the housing 2. In this embodiment, the front end of the housing 2 is open ( Figure 1 (Left side of the figure), the air inlet panel 1 is installed at the front opening of the housing 2. The housing 2 is provided with an air duct (not shown in the figure). In order to make it easy for the filter assembly 4 to be removed from the air duct and removed from the housing 2, this embodiment provides a first disassembly port 21 communicating with the air duct on the side of the housing 2. The size of the first disassembly port 21 is adapted to the side size of the filter assembly 4. Preferably, the size of the first disassembly port 21 is slightly larger than the side size of the filter assembly 4.

[0040] In this embodiment, the filter mounting bracket 3 is located inside the air duct and connected to the air inlet panel 1. It mainly serves to fix and connect the filter assembly 4. In order to cooperate with the first disassembly port 21, this embodiment provides a second disassembly port 31 on the side of the filter mounting bracket 3, which is opposite to the first disassembly port 21. The size of the second disassembly port 31 is greater than or equal to the size of the first disassembly port 21.

[0041] In this embodiment, the filter assembly 4 is located inside the filter mounting bracket 3, or in other words, the filter assembly 4 is located inside the air duct. In this embodiment, the filter assembly 4 and the filter mounting bracket 3 are detachably connected, so that the detachable connection between the two can be released, and the filter assembly 4 can be pulled out of the housing 2 through the first disassembly port 21 and the second disassembly port 31.

[0042] The above structure improves the housing 2 and the filter mounting bracket 3 by removing the detachable connection between the filter assembly 4 and the filter mounting bracket 3, allowing the filter assembly 4 to be pulled out of the housing 2. The filter assembly 4 is easy to assemble and disassemble, which improves the efficiency of the disassembly and cleaning work.

[0043] In order to protect the internal structure of the housing 2 and prevent dust and other debris from entering the housing 2 and affecting the performance of the equipment, the filter screen easy-to-clean mechanism of this embodiment also includes a filter screen cover 5; the filter screen cover 5 covers the first disassembly port 21 and is detachably connected to the housing 2.

[0044] Preferably, to facilitate the removal of the filter cover 5, this embodiment provides an outwardly protruding plate 51 on one side of the filter cover 5. Correspondingly, the housing 2 of this embodiment has a groove 22 adapted to the outwardly protruding plate 51 in the second disassembly port 31. The bottom wall of the groove 22 has a notch 221 that forms a handle structure 43 with the outwardly protruding plate 51. The handle structure 43 allows a person to reach in and exert force to release the filter cover 5 from the housing 2 and the air inlet panel 1, thus forming... Figure 7 The state in.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the installation and fixing of the filter cover 5, this embodiment provides a first connecting part 52 on one side of the filter cover 5 and a second connecting part 53 on the other side; correspondingly, the air inlet panel 1 of this embodiment is provided with a first mating part 13 that is inserted into the first connecting part 52; the housing 2 is provided with a second mating part 23 that is snapped into the second connecting part 53.

[0046] Combined with appendix Figure 3-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first connecting part 52 can be a insert or similar structure, and the second connecting part 53 can be a slot adapted to the insert. Alternatively, the first connecting part 52 can be a slot, and the second connecting part 53 can be an insert. In this embodiment, the second connecting part 53 can be a snap-fit, and the second mating part 23 can be a slot or similar structure.

[0047] Based on the above structure, the inventors discovered that although existing air conditioners also have a pull-out filter assembly 4 structure, the filter assembly 4 and the filter mounting bracket 3 or other structures are in sliding fit. When the equipment is running, the sliding fit has limited limiting and fixing effect on the filter assembly 4, which easily generates noise. Therefore, this embodiment improves the connection method between the filter assembly 4 and the filter mounting bracket 3.

[0048] First, in this embodiment, the filter assembly 4 is provided with a third connecting portion 41, and the filter mounting bracket 3 is provided with a third mating portion 32 that engages with the third connecting portion 41. In this embodiment, the third connecting portion 41 is a deformable elastic element, or a snap-fit ​​structure, and the third mating portion 32 includes a groove adapted to the elastic element. Alternatively, the third mating portion 32 can be a deformable elastic element, and the third connecting portion 41 can be a groove adapted to the elastic element.

[0049] The aforementioned elastic element and the slot not only provide a good fixation for the filter assembly 4, but also, due to the damping and shock absorption effect of the elastic element, alleviate the noise generated by the collision and friction between the filter assembly 4 and the filter mounting bracket 3 caused by the vibration during unit operation. Furthermore, when the filter assembly 4 is pulled out of the housing 2, the deformation of the elastic element can release the connection with the slot, and the connection between the filter assembly 4 and the filter mounting bracket 3 can be released without any additional action.

[0050] Preferably, the filter mounting bracket 3 may also be provided with a guide part (not shown in the figure), the filter assembly 4 is connected and cooperates with the guide part, and can be pulled out of the housing 2 along the preset direction of the guide part. In this embodiment, the filter assembly 4 and the guide part may be in sliding cooperation; or, in this embodiment, the filter assembly 4 is provided with a rotating part (not shown in the figure) that is in rolling cooperation with the guide part.

[0051] Preferably, in order to facilitate the pulling out of the filter assembly 4, a handle 42 can be provided on the side of the filter assembly 4 near the second disassembly port 31 for easy operation by personnel.

[0052] In addition, this embodiment also provides an air conditioner having the filter screen easy-to-clean mechanism described in the above technical solution. Since the improvement of the air conditioner in this embodiment is only in the corresponding part of the filter screen easy-to-clean mechanism, and other structures have not been improved, this embodiment does not describe or illustrate other structures of the air conditioner, but those skilled in the art can fully understand its structure.
