At this time, an air duct 101 is formed between the crossflow fan blade and the mounting base 100 to ensure that the wind of the crossflow fan blade can be blown out smoothly. Furthermore, with the long-term use of the air conditioner, dirt will accumulate in the crossflow fan blade and the air duct 101. According to the axial direction of the crossflow fan blade, a guide part 110 is added to the mounting base 100, and the cleaning component 200 is movably installed and matched with the mounting base 100 using the guide part 110. When a cleaning operation is required, the cleaning component 200 can clean the crossflow fan blade and the air duct 101 by spraying water, spraying water gas, spraying cleaning foam, etc. At the same time, the guiding effect of the guide part 110 on the cleaning component 200 can effectively ensure that the cleaning component 200 can clean all parts of the crossflow fan blade and the air duct 101. Therefore, the above-mentioned air conditioner cleaning structure can achieve effective cleaning of the crossflow blades and the air duct 101 by adding a cleaning assembly 200 on the mounting base 100 .

[0033] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning assembly 200 includes a water injection member 210 and a cleaning member 220, the cleaning member 220 is provided with a guide buckle 221 and a water inlet end 222, the cleaning member 220 is movably arranged in the air duct 101 through the cooperation between the guide buckle 221 and the guide portion 110, and the water inlet end 222 is located outside the air duct 101 and communicated with the water injection member 210;

[0034] The cleaning part 220 is provided with a first cleaning hole 227 and a second cleaning hole 228.

Furthermore, the guide buckle 221 on the cleaning part 220 and the guide part 110 on the mounting base 100 can be more than one, so as to ensure the movably assembled effect of the cleaning part 220 and the mounting base 100. The first cleaning hole 227 and the second cleaning hole 228 are respectively provided on the cleaning member 220, so that the cleaning member 220 can discharge water in multiple directions, further improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning member 220. Furthermore, the water inlet end 222 of the cleaning member 220 is arranged outside the air duct 101, so that the water injection member 210 and the cleaning member 220 are connected conveniently.

[0035] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning member 220 includes a first cleaning portion 223, a second cleaning portion 224, a first connecting portion 225 and a second connecting portion 226, the first cleaning portion 223 is provided with a first cleaning hole 227, and the first cleaning portion 223 is arranged along the circumferential bending of the crossflow fan blade, the second cleaning portion 224 is provided with a second cleaning hole 228, and the second cleaning portion 224 is arranged along the wall of the air duct 101, the first cleaning portion 223 and the second cleaning portion 224 are connected through the first connecting portion 225 and the second connecting portion 226, and the first cleaning portion 223, the second cleaning portion 224, the first connecting portion 225 and the second connecting portion 226 are connected to form a water flow channel, and the water inlet end 222 is connected to the water flow channel. Specifically, the first cleaning portion 223 and the second cleaning portion 224 are cleaning plates or cleaning pipes. The first connecting portion 225 and the second connecting portion 226 can be water pipes or water supply plates. The first cleaning portion 223 is bent along the circumferential direction of the crossflow blade, thereby effectively increasing the cleaning contact area between the first cleaning portion 223 and the crossflow blade, and improving the cleaning efficiency of the first cleaning portion 223. The second cleaning portion 224 is bent along the wall of the air duct 101, thereby effectively increasing the cleaning contact area between the second cleaning portion 224 and the wall of the air duct 101. Further, according to actual conditions, the number of the first cleaning holes 227 provided on the first cleaning portion 223 may be more than one, and the number of the second cleaning holes 228 provided on the second cleaning portion 224 may be more than one.

[0036] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first cleaning portion 223, the second cleaning portion 224, the first connecting portion 225 and the second connecting portion 226 cooperate to form an escape space 229. Specifically, considering that the mounting base 100 also needs to install components such as a heat exchanger, a drive motor, and a windshield, the escape space 229 is formed on the cleaning member 220, so that the adaptability of the cleaning member 220 to the mounting base 100 can be improved, making the use of the cleaning member 220 more convenient.

[0037] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the water injection member 210 includes a water storage pot 211 and a water injection pipe 212. The water storage pot 211 is made of a flexible material. One end of the water injection pipe 212 is connected to the water storage pot 211, and the other end of the water injection pipe 212 is connected to the water inlet end 222. Specifically, the water storage pot 211 is made of a flexible material (e.g., silica gel, flexible resin), and the staff can squeeze the water in the water storage pot 211 into the water injection pipe 212 by squeezing the water storage pot 211, and inject it into the water inlet end 222 through the water injection pipe 212. Furthermore, in order to make it more convenient for the water injection pipe 212 to discharge water, the water injection pipe 212 can be connected to the bottom of the water storage pot 211.

[0038] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the air conditioner cleaning structure further includes a water absorbing member 300 and a flow guide member 400, and the mounting base 100 is provided with an assembly groove 120, the water absorbing member 300 is installed in the mounting base 100 through the assembly groove 120, and a flow guide port 102 is provided at the portion of the mounting base 100 facing the air outlet of the air duct 101, and the flow guide member 400 is movably installed at the flow guide port 102, when the cleaning component 200 is cleaning, the flow guide member 400 moves to the cleaning position, and the flow guide member 400 is used to guide the sewage flowing out of the air duct 101 to flow to the water absorbing member 300 for recovery through the flow guide port 102; when the cleaning component 200 completes cleaning, the flow guide member 400 is reset and blocks the flow guide port 102, and the air duct 101 is used to discharge air to the outside. Specifically, the flow guide member 400 is a flow guide plate or a flow guide seat. The absorbent member 300 is absorbent cotton or absorbent. Considering that the cleaning component 200 will continuously generate sewage during cleaning, the sewage will flow out through the air outlet of the air duct 101. In order to facilitate the recovery of sewage, a guide port 102 is opened at the position of the installation base 100 facing the air outlet of the air duct 101, and the movement of the guide member 400 is used to guide the sewage to the guide port 102 and flow into the absorbent member 300 for recovery. In addition, after the cleaning is completed, the guide member 400 is moved again, and the guide member 400 will block the guide port 102, so that the air volume generated by the cross-flow blades in the air duct 101 can be smoothly discharged through the air outlet of the air duct 101, and the air volume is prevented from flowing to the water injection member 210 through the guide port 102.

[0039] Combination Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, a dirt storage tank 310 is provided on the water absorbent 300, and the notch of the dirt storage tank 310 is opposite to the diversion port 102. Specifically, considering that the sewage generated after cleaning contains more dirt particles, when the sewage flows to the water absorbent 300 through the diversion port 102, the dirt particles in the sewage will be retained in the dirt storage tank 310, and the sewage with less dirt particles will be absorbed by the water absorbent 300. The above-mentioned embodiment can effectively ensure the absorption effect of the water absorbent 300 on the sewage. Furthermore, by positioning the notch of the dirt storage tank 310 opposite to the diversion port 102, the sewage can smoothly enter the dirt storage tank 310 after passing through the diversion port 102.

[0040] Combination Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the air conditioner cleaning structure further includes a shielding cover 500, which is used to shield the notch of the assembly slot 120. Specifically, the shielding cover 500 can prevent the water absorbent 300 from being exposed to the external environment. When the water absorbent 300 needs to be replaced, the shielding cover 500 only needs to be taken out or removed, and the water absorbent 300 can be pulled out of the assembly slot 120.

[0041] Combination Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the air conditioner cleaning structure further includes a driving member 600, and the driving member 600 is in transmission cooperation with the guide member 400. Specifically, the driving member 600 is a servo motor or an AC motor. The guide plate is driven to rotate by the driving member 600, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the guide plate. Further, according to installation requirements, the driving member 600 can be fixed on the mounting base 100.

[0042] Combination Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, an air conditioner cleaning method, using an air conditioner cleaning structure, further includes the following steps:

[0043] S100, controlling the crossflow blades to rotate at a first speed;

[0044] S200, controlling the cleaning component 200 to move in the air duct 101, and performing cleaning by the cleaning component 200;

[0045] S300, after the cleaning component 200 is cleaned, the cleaning component 200 is returned to its original position;

[0046] S400, controlling the crossflow blades to rotate at a second speed for a preset time.

[0047] When the above-mentioned air conditioner cleaning method is used, the crossflow blades are rotated at a first rotation speed. The first rotation speed can be a low speed that enables the crossflow blades to achieve circumferential rotation, for example: the rotation speed of the crossflow blades when the air conditioner is in a low gear. This method can fully ensure the cleaning contact effect between the crossflow blades and the cleaning member 220. The cleaning component 200 moves in the air duct 101 and realizes the cleaning of the crossflow blades and the air duct 101. For example: the cleaning component 200 includes a loading and unloading method to realize the connection between the water injection member 210 and the cleaning member 220, so as to avoid the water injection member 210 being installed on the air conditioner for a long time and affecting the normal use of the air conditioner. After the cleaning component 200 is cleaned, the cleaning component 200 is returned to its position to avoid the cleaning component 200 affecting the subsequent operation of the crossflow blades in the cleaning position. The crossflow blades are controlled to rotate at a second rotation speed for a preset time again, that is, according to the actual situation, the second rotation speed is greater than the first rotation speed. After the cross flow blades rotate at the second speed for a preset time, the water retained in the cross flow blades and the air duct 101 can be quickly blown into the guide port 102 or dried. In summary, the above air conditioner cleaning method can perform targeted cleaning on the cross flow blades.

[0048] In one embodiment, the movable position of the guide member 400 is adjusted to connect the guide port 102 with the air outlet of the air duct 101. At this time, the sewage generated by the cleaning member 220 when cleaning the cross-flow fan blades and the air duct 101 can be recovered through the guide port 102. It can be judged whether the cleaning of the cleaning member 220 is completed by observing whether the water washed out is clean water. When the cleaning of the cleaning member 220 is completed, the water injection member 210 is separated from the clean water member, and the clean water member is reset and moved in the air conditioner to prevent the cleaning member 220 from affecting the subsequent work of the cross-flow fan blades in the cleaning position. After the cleaning is completed, the guide member 400 is reset to block the guide port 102 to ensure the normal air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0049] In one embodiment, after the crossflow blades and the air duct 101 are cleaned, the evaporator of the air conditioner can be self-cleaned, for example, by starting the evaporator's frosting, defrosting, and drying procedures, etc., and the air guide plate, filter, and wind sweeping blade of the air conditioner can be removed for cleaning, and then dried and installed.

[0050] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
