[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and is by no means intended to limit the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising: a casing 1, on which a mounting opening 100 is provided; a heat exchanger fin 10, which is adapted to the mounting opening 100 so as to be installed into the casing 1 or removed from the casing 1 through the mounting opening 100.

[0029] The air conditioner provided by the present invention includes a casing 1 and a heat exchanger fin 10. The casing 1 is provided with an installation opening 100, and the installation opening 100 is adapted to the heat exchanger fin 10. In this way, the heat exchanger fin 10 is installed into the casing 1 or removed from the casing 1 through the installation opening 100, so that the heat exchanger fin 10 is easy to disassemble and assemble, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the heat exchanger fin 10, making the air conditioner cleaner, and the airflow blown out of the heat exchanger of the air conditioner is cleaner and healthier, thereby improving the overall comfort of the air conditioner.

[0030] Preferably, the size of the installation opening 100 is larger than the outer contour of the heat exchanger to ensure that the outer contour of the entire heat exchanger can pass through the installation opening 100 .

[0031] Specifically, the air conditioner further includes a shielding plate 20 , and the heat exchanger fin 10 is connected to the shielding plate 20 , so that the heat exchanger fin 10 can be detached and assembled by operating the shielding plate 20 .

[0032] The shielding plate 20 is matched with the installation opening 100 to shield the installation opening 100 .

[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, a hand-grip structure 21 is provided on the shielding plate 20 , and the hand-grip structure 21 is provided on a side of the shielding plate 20 away from the heat exchanger fin 10 .

[0034] The hand-grip structure 21 includes a recessed portion 210 and a pull plate portion 211 disposed at the opening of the recessed portion 210, so that the pull plate portion 211 can be held by extending into the recessed portion 210. When the user needs to clean the air conditioner, the heat exchanger fin 10 can be opened by placing the hand on the pull plate portion 211 of the hand-grip structure 21 and pulling it open. After cleaning, the heat exchanger fin 10 can be pushed back to its original position.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present invention, the shielding plate 20 is detachably connected to the heat exchanger fin 10 .

[0036] Preferably, the shape and size of the baffle plate 20 are adapted to the shape and size of the casing 1. After the heat exchanger fins 10 are cleaned, the heat exchanger fins 10 and the baffle plate 20 are pushed back to their original positions. In this way, while the baffle plate 20 blocks the installation opening 100, the baffle plate 20 cooperates with the casing 1 to complete the installation without affecting the normal use of the air conditioner.

[0037] In the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention, a first clamping portion 201 is provided on the shielding plate 20, and a second clamping portion 202 is provided on the heat exchanger fin 10, and the first clamping portion 201 and the second clamping portion 202 are clamped with each other.

[0038] Preferably, the first clamping portion 201 is arranged at the center position of the entire baffle plate 20, and the second clamping portion 202 is arranged at the center position of the cross section of the heat exchanger fin 10 along the width direction; or the first clamping portion 201 and the second clamping portion 202 are both multiple, and the multiple first clamping portions 201 and the multiple second clamping portions 202 are arranged one by one, so that the stability of the connection between the baffle plate 20 and the heat exchanger fin is ensured.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the first clamping part 201 includes a clamping hook 2011, and the second clamping part 202 has a clamping cavity 2021 and a clamping interface 2022. The clamping hook 2011 passes through the clamping interface 2022 and is clamped in the clamping cavity 2021. In this way, the heat exchanger fin 10 and the shielding plate 20 are detachably connected to facilitate cleaning of the heat exchanger fin 10.

[0040] Preferably, the second clamping portion 202 comprises a U-shaped plate, the U-shaped plate encloses a clamping cavity 2021 , and the clamping interface 2022 is arranged on the plate body of the U-shaped plate.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the mounting opening 100 is disposed at one end of the housing 1 along its extending direction.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes: a heat exchange tube 30, and the heat exchanger fin 10 is provided with a through hole 11 adapted to the heat exchange tube 30, so that when the heat exchanger fin 10 is installed in the casing 1, the heat exchange tube 30 is inserted into the heat exchanger fin 10 through the through hole 11, and when the heat exchanger fin 10 is removed from the casing 1, the heat exchange tube 30 is separated from the heat exchanger fin 10.

[0043] Specifically, the heat exchange tube 30 is a U-shaped tube, and there are multiple through holes 11 and multiple heat exchange tubes 30 . The multiple through holes 11 are arranged one-to-one correspondingly to the multiple heat exchange tubes 30 , and the shape of the through holes 11 is adapted to the shape of the heat exchange tube 30 .

[0044] Preferably, the heat exchange tube 30 is fixedly connected to the inside of the casing 1 by screws, so that when the heat exchanger fin 10 is taken out from the installation opening 100 through the inside of the casing 1, the heat exchange tube 30 remains inside the casing 1 and is separated from the heat exchanger fin 10 through the penetration hole 11. In this way, the inside of the heat exchanger fin 10 can be cleaned through the penetration hole 11 on the heat exchanger fin 10, and the dirt, dust and other sundries inside the heat exchanger fin 10 are removed, so that the heat exchanger fin 10 can be cleaned more cleanly, and the airflow blown out by the air conditioner is cleaner, healthier and more comfortable, which is beneficial to the health of the user.

[0045] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0046] The air conditioner provided by the present invention includes a casing 1 and a heat exchanger fin 10. The casing 1 is provided with an installation opening 100, and the installation opening 100 is adapted to the heat exchanger fin 10. In this way, the heat exchanger fin 10 is installed into the casing 1 or removed from the casing 1 through the installation opening 100, so that the heat exchanger fin 10 is easy to disassemble and assemble, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the heat exchanger fin 10. In addition, the air conditioner also includes a heat exchange tube 30. A penetration hole 11 is provided on the heat exchanger fin 10, so that when the heat exchanger fin 10 is taken out of the casing 1, the heat exchange tube 30 is separated from the heat exchanger fin through the penetration hole 11, so that the inside of the heat exchanger fin 10 can be cleaned through the penetration hole. In this way, the dirt, dust and other debris on the surface and inside of the heat exchanger fin 10 can be cleaned, so that the air flow blown out by the air conditioner is cleaner and healthier, thereby improving the overall comfort of the air conditioner.
