[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an air outlet filter structure of an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioner housing 1, on which an air outlet 11 is constructed, and the air outlet 11 can be, for example, one of an air inlet and an air outlet, and a filter assembly is connected to the air outlet 11, and a first side of the filter assembly has a first plug-in portion 21, and a side of the air outlet 11 corresponding to the first side has a second plug-in portion 111, and the first plug-in portion 21 and the second plug-in portion 111 can be plugged into or disengaged from each other, and after the first plug-in portion 21 and the second plug-in portion 111 are plugged into each other, the filter assembly has a filtering position in the air outlet 11 and a maintenance position detached from the air outlet 11 and located outside the air conditioner housing 1, and the filter assembly can be controlled to rotate between the filtering position and the maintenance position with the plug-in position of the first plug-in portion 21 and the second plug-in portion 111 as the rotation axis. In this technical solution, the filter assembly can be switched between the filter position and the maintenance position by rotating around the plug-in position. At the same time, when the filter assembly is in the maintenance position, the filter assembly can be taken out of the air outlet 11, so that the filter can be replaced, cleaned and other maintenance operations can be carried out away from the air conditioner. The operating space required for the operator is not large, and the maintenance operation can be performed from the outside of the air conditioner. The maintenance process is more convenient, the structure is simple and easy to operate. This technical solution is particularly suitable for working conditions where the space of the air outlet 11 is limited, for example, when the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner is close to obstacles such as walls.

[0026] See also Figure 6 As shown, for example, the air conditioner is a built-in industrial air conditioner or a cabinet air conditioner, and its air outlet 11 is mostly arranged on the side of the air conditioner casing 1 (that is, the side position of the front of the air conditioner casing 1). It can be understood that for the built-in industrial air conditioner or cabinet air conditioner, its main air outlet is mostly arranged on the front of the air conditioner 1 to ensure as large an air outlet or return air as possible. At this time, the air outlet 11 can be understood as an auxiliary air outlet, which can increase the return air volume (or air outlet volume), optimize the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger, improve the refrigeration capacity of the unit, and play an indispensable auxiliary effect. A battery cabinet 100 is arranged adjacent to the side, and the gap between the two is about 10 cm. At this time, when the filter component needs to be maintained, the operator can stand in the front space (aisle) of the air conditioner, but the filter component on the side can be easily removed from the air outlet 11 without a larger maintenance operation space, and there is no need to disassemble the front part of the air conditioner casing 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, the filter assembly can be controlled to rotate between the filtering position and the maintenance position with the plug-in position of the first plug-in portion 21 and the second plug-in portion 111 as the rotation axis at an angle A, 14°≤A≤90°, thereby ensuring that the filter assembly can be smoothly removed from the air outlet 11, and the appropriate opening and closing angle of the filter assembly can be controlled according to the size of the peripheral space of the air outlet 11.

[0028] In some embodiments, the filter assembly includes a filter holder 22, the first plug-in portion 21 includes a first bent plate of the filter holder 22, the first bent plate is located on the edge of the filter holder 22 corresponding to the first side of the filter assembly, and accordingly, the inner side of the air conditioner housing 1 is provided with a mounting frame around the air outlet 11, the second plug-in portion 111 includes a first groove capable of accommodating the first bent plate, the first groove is located on the mounting frame, and the first groove is constructed on the mounting frame instead of directly on the air conditioner housing 1, so as to ensure the structural integrity and high structural strength of the air conditioner housing 1, the air conditioner housing 1 and the mounting frame can be formed by radius bending, and the mounting frame can be connected to the inner side of the air conditioner housing 1 by assembly (detachable) or welding. It should be noted that the first bent plate and the first groove can be provided in multiple one-to-one correspondences, which can be determined according to the size of the relevant components.

[0029] In some embodiments, the filter fixing frame 22 further has a second bending plate 221 on its edge, the second bending plate 221 and the first bending plate are located on opposite sides of the filter fixing frame 22, the installation frame includes a first frame 31, the second bending plate 221 and the first frame 31 are detachably connected, and the position of the filter assembly in the air outlet 11 is reliably and stably achieved by detachably connecting the second bending plate 221 and the first frame 31. Specifically, the first frame 31 includes a third bending plate 311 extending toward the outside of the air conditioner housing 1, and when the filter assembly is in the filtering position, the second bending plate 221 fits the third bending plate 311, and the second bending plate 221 and the third bending plate 311 can be bolted, for example, by screws. Furthermore, when the second bending plate 221 and the third bending plate 311 are in contact with each other, the second bending plate 221 is located on the side of the third bending plate 311 facing the outside of the air conditioner, so that the third bending plate 311 can limit and position the second bending plate 221.

[0030] In some embodiments, the filter fixing frame 22 includes a flow plate body 223, an obtuse angle is formed between the second bending plate 221 and the flow plate body 223, and the second bending plate 211 extends toward the side close to the air outlet 11, so that the connecting mating surface between the second bending plate 221 and the third bending plate 311 can be directed toward the outside of the air conditioner, especially when the air conditioner casing 1 is the side panel of the air conditioner, the operator can connect or remove the second bending plate 221 and the third bending plate 311 directly in front of the air conditioner.

[0031] In some embodiments, the filter fixing frame 22 has multiple fourth bent plates 222 on the edge other than the edge where the second bent plate 221 is located. The multiple fourth bent plates 222 are all located on the side of the filter fixing frame 22 close to the air outlet 11, and are all bent toward the inner side of the filter fixing frame 22. The filter assembly also includes a filter 23, and the filter 23 can be positioned by the multiple fourth bent plates 222. It can be understood that the multiple fourth bent plates 222 jointly form an insertion channel for the filter 23, and the specific sizes of the fourth bent plates 222 of the lock tongue can be consistent or different from each other.

[0032] In some embodiments, the installation frame may be an integrated structure. To reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the installation frame, the installation frame further includes a second frame 32. The first frame 31 and the second frame 32 form the installation frame. At this time, the first groove is located on the second frame 32. Figure 1 As shown, the first frame 31 is in a straight line shape as a whole, while the second frame 32 is in a U shape as a whole. After being assembled, the two form a roughly rectangular frame, which is assembled on the inner side of the air outlet 11. Of course, the specific shape can also be circular, etc., which will not be elaborated here.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second frame 32 has a plurality of fifth bending plates 321, and the plurality of fifth bending plates 321 are all located on the side of the first groove close to the inner side of the air conditioner to prevent the filter assembly from moving toward the inner side of the air conditioner when the filter assembly is in the filtering position.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a built-in industrial air conditioner, comprising the above-mentioned air outlet filter structure of the air conditioner.

[0035] It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, under the premise of no conflict, the above-mentioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed.
