Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular, to a sterilization device and an indoor unit for an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living quality, the quality requirements for the living environment are getting higher and higher, and air conditioners with sterilization devices have gradually entered people's lives. In the prior art, an ultraviolet sterilization device is added to the air conditioner. Among them, the ultraviolet sterilization device adopts a fixed connection method clamped on the evaporator copper tube, and specifically, a direct insertion type buckle can be used for clamping and fixing. By using this method to fix the ultraviolet sterilization device, the irradiated area of the ultraviolet lamp is fixed, and the action range is limited. Moreover, in the prior art, the installation method of fitting the ultraviolet lamp to the outer surface of the evaporator makes only a part of the ultraviolet rays penetrating through the gaps of the evaporator fins have a sterilization effect, reducing the effective sterilization area and space of the ultraviolet light, resulting in poor sterilization effect on the living environment. In the prior art, there is also a method of installing the sterilization module in the filter screen. The installation method uses a buckle structure, and the buckle structure is snapped into the slot position along the edge of the filter screen. By using this installation method, the working angle of the sterilization module is fixed and does not have an adjustment function. In addition, when installing the sterilization module, the filter screen needs to be bent to smoothly snap the module in, which is laborious and inconvenient to install.

In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and thus their description will be omitted.

[0057] Combined with Figures 1 to 10 and Figure 14 、 Figure 15 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a sterilization device for an air conditioner is provided.

[0058] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the sterilization device includes a sterilization object generating part 10, a mounting part 20, and a connecting component 30. The sterilization object generating part 10 is connected to the mounting part 20 through the connecting component 30, and the sterilization object generating part 10 is rotatably arranged relative to the mounting part 20. So that the sterilization object generating part 10 has working positions at multiple different angles, and the working positions at different angles are adapted to different models of air conditioners.

[0059] In this embodiment, by providing a connecting component between the sterilization object generating part and the mounting part, the sterilization object generating part can rotate relative to the mounting part, so that the working angle of the sterilization object generating part can be adjusted, increasing the sterilization range. At the same time, when installing and debugging the sterilization device, the angle of the sterilization object generating part relative to the mounting part can be adjusted to adapt to different air conditioner models, improving the versatility of the sterilization device for different air conditioner models.

[0060] Among them, as Figure 2 shown, the sterilization object generating part 10 includes a bottom case 11, an upper cover 12, and a sterilization object generator 13. The bottom case 11 is connected to the mounting part 20 through the connecting component 30. The upper cover 12 is connected to the bottom case 11, and an accommodation cavity is defined between the upper cover 12 and the bottom case 11. A through hole communicating with the accommodation cavity is provided on one side of the bottom case 11 facing the mounting part 20. The sterilization object generator 13 is arranged in the accommodation cavity, and the sterilization object generated by the sterilization object generator 13 performs a sterilization operation through the through hole toward one side of the mounting part 20. The sterilization object generator 13 is installed in the accommodation cavity defined by the upper cover 12 and the bottom case 11. By adjusting the angle of the bottom case 11 relative to the mounting part 20, the bottom case drives the sterilization object generator 13 to rotate, so as to adjust the working angle of the sterilization object generator 13 to meet the requirements of different angle irradiation sterilization working positions, increasing the sterilization range. Among them, the sterilization object generator 13 can be an ultraviolet lamp.

[0061] Among them, the sterilizing agent generator 13 includes one of an ultraviolet generator, an infrared generator, and a spray generator. Selecting different types of sterilizing agent generators 13 according to different usage environments can improve the sterilization efficiency.

[0062] Among them, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 shown, the bottom case 11 and the upper cover 12 are snap-connected by the snap fasteners 112. Such a setting facilitates the disassembly of the bottom case 11 and the upper cover 12, reduces the installation difficulty for later maintenance, and improves the maintenance efficiency.

[0063] Among them, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a first annular shroud 111 is provided on one side of the bottom case 11 away from the installation part 20, and the snap fasteners 112 are provided on the outer side of the first annular shroud 111. A second annular shroud 121 is formed at the edge of the upper cover 12. The second annular shroud 121 is arranged along the outer peripheral side of the first annular shroud 111, and a snap position matching the snap fasteners 112 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the second annular shroud 121. The first annular shroud 111 on the bottom case 11 and the second annular shroud 121 of the upper cover 12 are snap-connected by the snap fasteners 112, forming an accommodation cavity therebetween. The sterilizing agent generator 13 is installed in the accommodation cavity, isolating the sterilizing agent generator 13 from other components of the air conditioner, reducing the influence of other components of the air conditioner on the sterilizing agent generator 13, and improving the working reliability and service life of the sterilizing agent generator 13.

[0064] As Figure 4 shown, a wire passing notch 113 is formed on the first annular shroud 111. It is convenient for the wires of the sterilizing agent generator 13 to be electrically connected to other components of the air conditioner through the wire passing notch 113.

[0065] As Figure 2 and Figure 5 shown, a first sliding groove 114 is provided at one end of the bottom case 11, and part of the connection assembly 30 is movably arranged in the first sliding groove 114. The connection assembly 30 slides in the first sliding groove 114 to realize the rotation of the bottom case 11 relative to the installation part 20. Such a setting makes the structure of the bottom case 11 simple, and the connection assembly 30 is limited by the sliding groove, which can improve the stability of the connection assembly 30.

[0066] As Figure 5 shown, a first installation notch 115 is provided on the groove wall of the first sliding groove 114, and part of the connection assembly 30 moves into the first sliding groove 114 through the first installation notch 115. By providing the first installation notch 115, it is convenient for the installation of the connection assembly 30 and for the maintenance and replacement of the connection assembly 30.

[0067] As shown Figure 6 in the figure, the installation part 20 includes an installation bracket 21 and a second chute 23. A hollow structure 22 for avoiding the sterilizing objects generated by the sterilizing object generator 13 is provided in the middle of the installation bracket 21. A second chute 23 is provided at one end of the installation bracket 21, and a part of the connection assembly 30 is movably arranged in the second chute 23. The provision of the hollow structure 22 in the installation bracket 21 is conducive to the sterilizing objects generated by the sterilizing object generator 13 passing through the installation bracket 21, avoiding the installation bracket from blocking the sterilizing objects, and expanding the sterilizing range of the sterilizing object generator 13. A part of the connection assembly 30 slides in the second chute 23, and in cooperation with a part of the connection assembly 30 sliding in the first chute 114, the sterilizing object generator 13 can rotate relative to the installation part 20, thereby realizing the adjustment of the working angle of the sterilizing object generator 13.

[0068] Among them, in the present application, the sterilizing object generator 13 can be set to rotate relative to the installation bracket 21 periodically, so that the sterilizing object generator 13 can realize the periodic adjustment of the sterilizing range, thereby increasing the sterilizing range of the sterilizing object generator 13 and further improving the practicability of the sterilizing device.

[0069] As shown Figure 6 in the figure, among them, a second installation notch 231 is provided on the groove wall of the second chute 23, and a part of the connection assembly 30 moves into the second chute 23 through the second installation notch 231. By providing the second installation notch 231, it is convenient to install the connection assembly 30 in the first chute 114, as well as to replace and maintain the connection assembly 30 later.

[0070] As shown Figure 1 in the figure, the installation part 20 includes an installation bracket 21. The installation bracket 21 is provided with a second chute 23, and a second installation notch 231 is provided on the groove wall of the second chute 23. A first decorative rubber plug 40 is provided at the first installation notch 115, and a second decorative rubber plug 80 is provided at the second installation notch 231. The first decorative rubber plug 40 and the second decorative rubber plug 80 can prevent the connection assembly 30 from falling off from the first installation notch 115 and the second installation notch 231 during sliding, improving the connection stability of the connection assembly 30.

[0071] As shown Figure 2 and Figure 6 and Figure 7 in the figure, among them, the installation bracket 21 is provided with a rotating shaft 24, and the bottom shell 11 is provided with a shaft hole 14 that cooperates with the rotating shaft 24. The bottom shell 11 is rotatably connected to the installation bracket 21, ensuring that the bottom shell 11 rotates around the rotating shaft 24 on the installation bracket 21, so that the sterilizing object generator 13 installed on the bottom shell 11 can rotate relative to the installation part 20 at different required angles.

[0072] As Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 shown, where there are two rotating shafts 24, and the two rotating shafts 24 are arranged oppositely, and each rotating shaft 24 is correspondingly provided with a shaft hole 14. The stability and reliability of the relative rotation of the bottom case 11 with respect to the mounting bracket 21 are improved, and the rotation angles of the bottom case 11 at both ends of the shaft hole 14 are the same; it is ensured that it is beneficial for the sterilizing objects generated by the sterilizing object generator 13 to act on the environment at a unified angle, which is beneficial to the control of the sterilizing angle, thereby improving the uniformity and reliability of sterilization.

[0073] As Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 shown, where a shaft hole notch 141 is circumferentially formed in the shaft hole 14, and a cutting edge structure 241 is circumferentially arranged on the rotating shaft 24. The rotating shaft 24 is installed in the shaft hole 14 through the shaft hole notch 141 formed circumferentially in the shaft hole 14. When disassembly and maintenance are required, the rotating shaft 24 can also be quickly disassembled through the shaft hole notch 141. Thus, the quick installation and disassembly of the bottom case 11 and the mounting bracket 21 are realized, and the installation and maintenance efficiency are improved.

[0074] As Figure 6 , Figure 9 shown at position E in [reference], where angle scale lines are provided on the mounting bracket 21 and are arranged close to the rotating shaft 24. Precise adjustment of the rotation angle of the sterilizing object generator 13 is realized.

[0075] Preferably, the range of the angle scale lines is from 0 degree to 30 degrees.

[0076] As Figure 6 shown, a base foot 25 is provided on each side of the mounting bracket 21 away from the sterilizing object generating part 10, and the base foot 25 is provided with a mounting groove 251 having an opening on one side. The mounting bracket 21 is conveniently installed with other components of the air conditioner through the mounting groove 251 on the base foot 25.

[0077] As Figure 7 shown, where the cross-sectional profile line of the bottom of the mounting groove 251 is an arc, and the distance between the openings of the mounting groove 251 gradually increases in the direction away from the bottom of the groove. By setting the cross-sectional profile line of the bottom of the mounting groove 251 as an arc, it is convenient to adjust the installation angle when mating with the interfaces of other components of the air conditioner. By setting the openings of the mounting groove 251 to gradually increase in the direction away from the bottom of the groove, the opening size of the mounting groove 251 is increased, which is convenient for the alignment of the interface of the mounting part 20 with other components of the air conditioner for installation and insertion.

[0078] As Figure 1As shown in the figure, a first sliding groove 114 is provided at one end of the bottom shell 11, and a second sliding groove 23 is formed at the end of the mounting bracket 21 opposite to the bottom shell 11. The connecting component 30 includes a first slider 31, a second slider 32, and a connecting rod 33. The first slider 31 is movably disposed in the first sliding groove 114; the second slider 32 is movably disposed in the second sliding groove 23; the first end of the connecting rod 33 is connected to the first slider 31, and the second end of the connecting rod 33 is connected to the second slider 32. The sterilizing agent generator 13 rotates relative to the mounting portion 20 along a specific trajectory around the rotating shaft 24 through the first slider 31, the second slider 32, and the connecting rod 33 on the connecting component 30. Such a setting makes the structure of the connecting component simple and reliable in use, and the connecting component adopting this structure effectively improves the reliability of angle adjustment.

[0079] As Figure 1 shown, wherein, the connecting rod 33 locks the first slider 31 and the second slider 32 through the locking member 50. This setting can improve the connection stability between the connecting rod and the slider, and at the same time, the locking force between the slider and the connecting rod can be adjusted by rotating the locking member 50, and then the working position of the sterilizing agent generator 13 can be adjusted. After the sterilizing agent generator 13 rotates to the working position at the preset angle, rotate the locking member 50 to lock the slider and the connecting rod. Among them, the range of the preset angle can be from 0 to 30 degrees.

When the first chute 114 and the second slider both slide towards the rotating shaft 24, at this time, the included angle between the bottom shell 11 and the installation part 20 can be larger; on the contrary, a negative angle of about 10° can also be achieved. The allowable adjustment range meets the use requirements. In actual applications, limited by the filter screen assembly 4, the opening angle of the device cannot be too large, otherwise it will exceed the range of the filter screen assembly 4, and the upper cover 12 will exceed the panel body component 2.

[0085] In another embodiment of the present application, as Figure 13 shown. In the first sterilization area C, the external air flow passes through the sterilization module area for the first time, and preliminarily sterilizes the air flow entering the indoor unit. In the second sterilization area D, the air flow flowing through the first sterilization area C returns to the sterilization module irradiation area again through the operation of the cross-flow fan blade 5, and the air flow is sterilized again. Through long-term cyclic action, the indoor air can be purified and cleaned.

[0086] The present application adopts an adjustable sterilization angle. The sterilization device is not directly contact-assembled with the evaporator component 6, has a larger sterilization space, three-dimensional sterilization, and better sterilization efficiency. The rotating shaft structure is designed using the angle difference, reducing the complexity of the mechanism and facilitating assembly and use. The inclined plug-type base feet 25 enable the sterilization device to have better multi-directional stability. By adjusting the different rotation angles of the sterilization device, it is suitable for assembling various models, with strong versatility. The sterilization function can also be configured separately to adapt to the flexible and changeable market demands.
