[0048] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] Hereinafter, an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner comprises: a casing, a heat exchanger component, a main fan component, a filter assembly 10, a driving mechanism 20 and a cleaning member 30. The casing is formed with an air inlet and an air outlet. The airflow can enter the casing from the air inlet, and the airflow in the casing can be blown into the room through the air outlet. The heat exchanger component and the main fan component are arranged in the casing. The airflow at the air inlet can enter the casing under the drive of the main fan component. The airflow entering the casing can be blown into the room through the air outlet after heat exchange in the heat exchanger component, so as to adjust the indoor temperature. For example, the main fan component may include a main wind wheel, and the main wind wheel may be a cross-flow wind wheel.

[0051] The filter assembly 10 is arranged at the air inlet. The filter assembly 10 includes a filter and a filter bracket 11. The filter is movably arranged on the filter bracket 11. The filter can filter the airflow entering the casing from the air inlet to improve the quality of air blown into the room.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The driving mechanism 20 is disposed in the housing, and the driving mechanism 20 can be drivably connected to the filter screen, and the driving mechanism 20 can drive the filter screen to move, so that the position of the filter screen can be adjusted. The cleaning member 30 is movably disposed in the housing, for example, the cleaning member 30 can be disposed on one side of the filter screen, and a driving component for driving the cleaning member 30 to move can also be disposed in the housing.

[0053] The air conditioner has a cleaning mode, in which the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move, and the cleaning member 30 contacts the filter to clean the filter. For example, in the cleaning mode, the main fan component may not move.

[0054] In the cleaning mode, the cleaning member 30 contacts the filter, and the cleaning member 30 can rub against the filter to remove dust and other impurities on the filter, and can also better loosen the stubborn dust on the filter, with obvious cleaning effect, preventing the dust on the filter from accumulating too much and clogging the mesh of the filter, avoiding affecting the air intake at the air inlet of the air conditioner, and ensuring the cooling and heating effect of the air conditioner; it also avoids the main fan components from clogging the filter due to excessive dust accumulation, which helps to reduce the power consumption of the whole machine, and thus ensure the working performance of the air conditioner. In addition, the dust attached to the filter is easy to enter the room with the air flow, affecting the indoor air quality. Therefore, cleaning the filter with the cleaning member 30 can reduce the possibility of dust on the filter entering the room with the air flow, which helps to improve the indoor air quality.

[0055] In the cleaning mode, the filter and the cleaning member 30 can cooperate in the following ways: the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move, and the cleaning member 30 does not move; the cleaning member 30 contacts the filter and cleans the filter to remove dust and other impurities on the filter; the filter moves relative to the cleaning member 30, so that the cleaning range of the filter by the cleaning member 30 is larger; or, the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move, and the cleaning member 30 moves and contacts the filter at the same time, so that the cleaning effect of the filter by the cleaning member 30 is better; in addition, the cleaning member 30 can move, so that the cleaning member 30 can move to a suitable position or adjust the suitable angle to clean the filter, and the cleaning flexibility is stronger.

[0056] For example, the above-mentioned air conditioner can be a split air conditioner, for example, it can be a split wall-mounted air conditioner, the air conditioner includes an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit, the air conditioner indoor unit includes the above-mentioned casing, heat exchanger components, main fan components, filter assembly 10, drive mechanism 20 and cleaning component 30, the heat exchanger components and the main fan components are both arranged in the casing, the main fan components include a main fan, the main fan can drive the airflow at the air inlet through the filter into the casing, the airflow entering the casing can be blown into the room through the air outlet after heat exchange with the heat exchanger components to adjust the indoor temperature.

[0057] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning member 30 is movably arranged on one side of the filter. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning member 30 contacts the filter to clean the filter. The cleaning member 30 can peel off dust and other impurities on the filter, and the cleaning effect is obvious. It prevents excessive accumulation of dust on the filter and blocks the filter, avoids affecting the air intake at the air inlet, and ensures the working performance of the air conditioner. In addition, since the cleaning member 30 is movable, the cleaning member 30 can be adjusted to a suitable position or a suitable angle to clean the filter, which has greater flexibility and better cleaning effect.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Fig.14 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a dust removal chamber 131 is formed in the filter support 11. During the movement of the filter, the filter is adapted to pass through the dust removal chamber 131. The cleaning member 30 includes a cleaning portion 31. At least a portion of the cleaning portion 31 is located in the dust removal chamber 131 and is adapted to contact the filter. At least a portion of the cleaning portion 31 is located in the dust removal chamber 131 and is adapted to contact the filter, which may include the following situations: a portion of the cleaning member 30 is located in the dust removal chamber 131 and is adapted to contact the filter; or the cleaning member 30 is entirely located in the dust removal chamber 131 and is adapted to contact the filter.

[0059] By at least partially positioning the cleaning portion 31 in the dust removal chamber 131 and being adapted to contact the filter, the cleaning member 30 can rub against the filter to peel off dust and other impurities on the filter, achieving an obvious cleaning effect, thereby preventing excessive dust accumulation on the filter and clogging the mesh of the filter, thereby avoiding affecting the air intake at the air inlet of the air conditioner; the cleaning portion 31 can move relative to the filter, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect on the filter and a larger cleaning range.

[0060] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig.14 , according to some optional embodiments of the present invention, a dust removal port 132 is formed on the bottom wall of the dust removal chamber 131, and the dust removal port 132 is communicated with the dust removal chamber 131. A dust collecting piece 14 is provided below the dust removal chamber 131, and a dust collecting chamber 140 is defined in the dust collecting piece 14. A dust suction port 142 is formed on the top of the dust collecting piece 14, and the dust suction port 142 is communicated with the dust collection chamber 140; the dust suction port 142 is opposite to the dust removal port 132, and the dust suction port 142 is suitable for communication with the dust removal port 132, so that dust and other impurities swept off the filter screen by the cleaning part 31 can be avoided from accumulating in the dust removal chamber 131, and dust and other impurities can fall into the dust collection chamber 140 through the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 and be collected in the dust collection chamber 140, thereby preventing dust from falling on other components of the air conditioner, avoiding dust from accumulating on other components, avoiding affecting the service life of other components of the air conditioner, and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0061] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 and Fig.14 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the driving mechanism 20 includes a driving motor and a driving wheel 21. The driving wheel 21 is rotatably disposed in the dust removal chamber 131. The driving motor is connected to the driving wheel 21 to drive the driving wheel 21 to rotate. The driving wheel 21 rotates to drive the filter to move. The dust removal port 132 extends along the circumference of the driving wheel 21. The cleaning portion 31 is provided through the dust removal port 132. The cleaning member 30 is movable along the circumference of the driving wheel 21. In the cleaning mode, the driving motor drives the driving wheel 21 to rotate, the driving wheel 21 drives the filter to move, the filter is suitable for passing through the dust removal chamber 131, the cleaning portion 31 is provided through the dust removal port 132 and at least part of the cleaning portion 31 is located in the dust removal chamber 131 and is suitable for contacting the filter. The cleaning member 30 can rub against the filter to remove dust and other impurities on the filter. The cleaning effect is obvious, and the dust on the filter is prevented from accumulating too much and blocking the mesh of the filter, so as to avoid affecting the air intake at the air inlet. In addition, the cleaning member 30 is movable along the circumference of the driving wheel 21 , and the cleaning member 30 can clean the filter screen along the circumference of the driving wheel 21 , so that the cleaning effect is better.

[0062] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning member 30 has a connecting position and a blocking position. In the connecting position, the dust removal port 132 is connected to the dust suction port 142, and the dust removal chamber 131 is connected to the dust collection chamber 140. The dust in the dust removal chamber 131 can enter the dust collection chamber 140 through the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, and the dust can be collected in the dust collection chamber 140. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning member 30 can be in the connecting position. In the blocking position, the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 are blocked by the cleaning member 30, and the dust removal chamber 131 is not connected to the dust collection chamber 140. For example, in the blocking position, the driving mechanism 20 does not work.

[0063] The cleaning member 30 has a connection position and a separation position. The movement of the cleaning member 30 can flexibly control the connection or separation between the dust removal chamber 131 and the dust collection chamber 140. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning member 30 can move to the connection position, and the dust removal port 132 is connected with the dust suction port 142, so that the dust removal chamber 131 is connected with the dust collection chamber 140. The cleaning part 31 of the cleaning member 30 can contact the filter screen passing through the dust removal chamber 131 and clean the filter screen. The dust on the filter screen can enter the dust collection chamber 140 through the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, and the dust can be collected in the dust collection chamber 140 to prevent the dust from falling on other parts of the air conditioner and avoid dust accumulation on other parts. Therefore, the cleaning member 30 can not only play the role of a channel switching valve, but also clean the filter screen.

[0064] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 10-13 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, there are two communication positions, which are the first communication position and the second communication position. In the moving direction of the cleaning member 30, the partition position is located between the first communication position and the second communication position. In the first communication position, the dust removal port 132 is connected with the dust suction port 142, and the dust removal chamber 131 is connected with the dust collection chamber 140; in the second communication position, the dust removal port 132 is connected with the dust suction port 142, and the dust removal chamber 131 is connected with the dust collection chamber 140. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning member 30 is in the first communication position or the second communication position.

[0065] In the moving direction of the cleaning member 30, the partition position is located between the first connecting position and the second connecting position. Therefore, when it is necessary to switch from the partition position to the connecting position, the cleaning member 30 can move to the first connecting position so that the dust removal port 132 is connected to the dust suction port 142; or the cleaning member 30 can also move in the opposite direction to the second connecting position so that the dust removal port 132 is connected to the dust suction port 142. In this way, the cleaning member 30 can switch between the partition position and the connecting position more flexibly without requiring too much movement. When switching from the connecting position to the partition position, the movement range of the cleaning member 30 will not be too large, making it more convenient for the cleaning member 30 to switch between the partition position and the connecting position.

[0066] Reference Fig.14 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning member 30 includes a rotating plate 32, the cleaning portion 31 is disposed on the rotating plate 32, the rotating plate 32 is located between the dust suction port 142 and the dust removal port 132, and a through hole 320 is disposed on the rotating plate 32; wherein, in the connecting position, the through hole 320 connects the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, the dust removal chamber 131 is connected with the dust collection chamber 140, the dust in the dust removal chamber 131 can enter the dust collection chamber 140 through the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, and the dust can be collected in the dust collection chamber 140. In the cleaning mode, the through hole 320 on the rotating plate 32 can connect the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142. In the blocking position, the rotating plate 32 blocks the dust suction port 142 to block the dust removal chamber 131 from the dust collection chamber 140.

[0067] The movement of the rotating plate 32 allows the cleaning member 30 to switch between the connecting position and the disconnecting position. By providing a through hole 320 on the rotating plate 32, switching between the connecting position and the disconnecting position becomes convenient, thereby facilitating the connection or disconnection between the dust removal chamber 131 and the dust collecting chamber 140. In addition, the structure of the rotating plate 32 used to connect or disconnect the dust removal chamber 131 and the dust collecting chamber 140 is relatively simple.

[0068] The rotating plate 32 can play the role of a channel switching valve, and the cleaning part 31 can clean the filter. The cleaning part 31 is arranged on the rotating plate 32, so that the cleaning member 30 has the functions of both channel switching and cleaning the filter.

[0069] Reference Fig.14 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, in the movement direction of the cleaning member 30, the extension length of the rotating plate 32 is greater than the extension length of the dust removal port 132, so that as much dust and other impurities in the dust removal chamber 131 as possible fall onto the rotating plate 32, which facilitates the dust to enter the dust collecting chamber 140 through the through hole 320 and the dust suction port 142, and prevents the dust in the dust removal chamber 131 from falling onto other components of the air conditioner through the dust removal port 132, thereby preventing the service life of other components of the air conditioner from being affected, thereby ensuring the normal use of the air conditioner.

[0070] Reference Fig.14 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a dustproof rib 323 is provided on one side of the rotating plate 32 facing the dust removal port 132, and the dustproof rib 323 is located on the side of the through hole 320 away from the cleaning portion 31. The dustproof rib 323 can prevent dust from falling onto other components of the air conditioner, thereby preventing the service life of other components of the air conditioner from being affected, and ensuring the normal use of the air conditioner.

[0071] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 and Fig.14In some optional embodiments of the present invention, there are two communication positions, which are respectively a first communication position and a second communication position. In the moving direction of the cleaning member 30, the partition position is located between the first communication position and the second communication position. There are two through holes 320, which are respectively a first through hole 321 and a second through hole 322. In the moving direction of the cleaning member 30, the first through hole 321 and the second through hole 322 are respectively located on opposite sides of the cleaning portion 31.

[0072] For example, in the first communication position, the cleaning part 31 is located at the front side of the first through hole 321 along the rotation direction of the driving wheel 21. The cleaning part 31 can intercept and guide dust to the first through hole 321 while cleaning the filter, so that dust and other impurities on the filter pass through the dust removal port 132, the first through hole 321 and the dust suction port 142 and enter the dust collection chamber 140; in the second communication position, the cleaning part 31 is located at the front side of the second through hole 322 along the rotation direction of the driving wheel 21. The cleaning part 31 can intercept and guide dust to the first through hole 321 while cleaning the filter, so that dust and other impurities on the filter pass through the dust removal port 132, the second through hole 322 and the dust suction port 142 and enter the dust collection chamber 140. When the filter moves in different directions, the cleaning member 30 is at different positions respectively, so that dust can more easily pass through the dust removal port 132, the second through hole 322 and the dust suction port 142 and enter the dust collection chamber 140.

[0073] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In the first communication position, the first through hole 321 communicates with the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, so that the dust removal chamber 131 communicates with the dust collection chamber 140; in the second communication position, the second through hole 322 communicates with the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, so that the dust removal chamber 131 communicates with the dust collection chamber 140. In the cleaning mode, the cleaning member 30 is in the first communication position or the second communication position.

[0074] In the moving direction of the cleaning member 30, the partition position is located between the first connecting position and the second connecting position. Therefore, when it is necessary to switch from the partition position to the connecting position, the cleaning member 30 can move to the first connecting position so that the first through hole 321 connects the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142; or, the cleaning member 30 can also move in the opposite direction to the second connecting position so that the second through hole 322 connects the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142. The cleaning member 30 is more flexible in switching between the partition position and the connecting position, and does not require a large movement range. When switching from the connecting position to the partition position, the movement range of the cleaning member 30 will not be too large, making it more convenient for the cleaning member 30 to switch between the partition position and the connecting position.

[0075] By setting two through holes 320 on the rotating plate 32, and the two through holes 320 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the cleaning part 31, the cleaning member 30 can move to two different positions to clean the filter, so that the relative position with the cleaning part 31 can adapt to the movement direction of the filter, so that the cleaning member 30 has a better cleaning effect on the filter, stronger cleaning flexibility, and convenient for dust and other impurities on the filter to fall into the dust collecting chamber 140 through the through holes 320.

In the moving direction of the cleaning member 30, the first through hole 321 and the second through hole 322 are respectively located at opposite sides of the cleaning portion 31. In the first connecting position, the first through hole 321 connects the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, so that the dust removal chamber 131 is connected with the dust collection chamber 140; the cleaning portion 31 is located at the front side of the first through hole 321 along the rotation direction of the driving wheel 21. In the cleaning mode, the driving gear drives the filter to move, the cleaning portion 31 contacts the filter and peels off the dust and other impurities on the filter, and the dust and other impurities fall into the first through hole 321 through the dust removal port 132, and enter the dust collection chamber 140 through the dust suction port 142. In the second connecting position, the second through hole 322 connects the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, so that the dust removal chamber 131 is connected with the dust collecting chamber 140; the cleaning part 31 is located on the front side of the second through hole 322 along the rotation direction of the driving wheel 21. In the cleaning mode, the driving gear drives the filter to move, and the cleaning part 31 contacts the filter and peels off the dust and other impurities on the filter. Dust and other impurities fall into the first through hole 321 through the dust removal port 132, and enter the dust collecting chamber 140 through the dust suction port 142.

A fan chamber 421 is formed in the fan housing 42, the auxiliary fan wheel 422 is arranged in the fan chamber 421, an airflow inlet 423 is formed on the air inlet side of the fan chamber 421, and an airflow outlet 424 is formed on the air outlet side of the fan chamber 421. The airflow inlet 423 is suitable for communicating with the dust collection chamber 140, and the airflow outlet 424 is suitable for communicating with the air outlet. The airflow entering the housing from the air inlet can enter the fan chamber 421 through the dust removal chamber 131, the dust collection chamber 140 and the airflow inlet 423, and the airflow in the fan chamber 421 can be blown into the room through the airflow outlet 424 and the air outlet.

[0080] Among them, in the cleaning mode, the auxiliary fan component 41 works, the auxiliary wind wheel 422 rotates, the dust suction port 142 is connected with the dust removal port 132, and the air flow inlet 423 is connected with the dust collecting chamber 140. When the auxiliary wind wheel 422 rotates, negative pressure can be generated at the dust suction port 142, and the dust in the dust removal chamber 131 can be sucked into the dust collecting chamber 140 through the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, which makes it more convenient to clean the dust on the filter and can better prevent dust and other impurities on the filter from falling onto other components of the air conditioner.

[0081] Reference Figure 5-Figure 6 and Figure 13-Figure 14In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a purification member 43 is provided on the air inlet side of the wind wheel chamber 421, and the air conditioner has an internal circulation mode. In the internal circulation mode, the driving mechanism 20 does not work, the dust suction port 142 is connected to the dust removal port 132, and the air flow inlet 423 is connected to the dust collection chamber 140. For example, the purification member 43 can be a HEPA net, which can filter impurities in the air flow and improve the air quality.

[0082] The air inlet and the air outlet are both connected to the indoor room. In the internal circulation mode, the indoor air can enter the casing through the air inlet. Part of the airflow entering the casing enters the dust removal chamber 131 after preliminary filtration by the filter, and then enters the dust collecting chamber 140 through the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142. The airflow in the dust collecting chamber 140 is filtered and purified by the purification component 43, and then enters the wind wheel chamber 421 through the airflow inlet 423. The airflow in the wind wheel chamber 421 can be blown into the room through the airflow outlet 424 and the air outlet in turn, thereby purifying the indoor air, improving the indoor air quality, and improving the user's comfort.

In the internal circulation mode, the flow area between the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 is the first flow area. In the cleaning mode, the flow area between the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 is the second flow area, and the first flow area is greater than the second flow area. In this way, in the internal circulation mode, the flow area between the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 is large, which can ensure the air intake at the dust suction port 142, thereby ensuring the air intake in the wind wheel cavity 421, and then ensuring the air outlet at the air flow outlet 424, which can purify the indoor air faster and improve the quality of the indoor air. In the cleaning mode, the flow area between the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 is small, and when the auxiliary wind wheel 422 rotates, a large negative pressure is generated at the dust suction port 142. The dust suction port 142 has a large suction force, which can better suck the dust and other impurities in the dust removal cavity 131 into the dust collection cavity 140, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0084] For example, refer to Fig.11 , Fig.13 and Fig.14, two through holes 320 are provided on the rotating plate 32, which are respectively a first through hole 321 and a second through hole 322. In the moving direction of the rotating plate 32, the extension length of the first through hole 321 is greater than the extension length of the second through hole 322, and the extension length of the second through hole 322 is less than the extension length of the dust suction port 142. In the internal circulation mode, the first through hole 321 is completely connected with the dust suction port 142, so that the flow area between the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 is the first flow area, and the first flow area is larger; in the cleaning mode, the second through hole 322 is connected with the dust suction port 142, or the first through hole 321 is staggered with the dust suction port 142, so that the flow area between the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142 is the second flow area, and the second flow area is smaller and smaller than the first flow area.

[0086] The air conditioner has a fresh air mode. In the fresh air mode, the fresh air inlet 442 is opened, and the air flow inlet 423 is connected to the air inlet chamber 441. The fresh air outside can enter the air inlet chamber 441 through the fresh air inlet 442. The air flow in the air inlet chamber 441 can flow into the wind wheel chamber 421 through the air flow inlet 423. The air flow in the wind wheel chamber 421 can be blown out of the casing through the air flow outlet 424 and the air outlet, and blown into the room, which can improve the indoor air quality and improve the user's comfort.

The airflow entering the dust collecting chamber 140 can enter the wind wheel chamber 421 through the air inlet chamber 441 and be blown into the room through the air flow outlet 424 and the air outlet, which facilitates the circulation of airflow.

[0088] For example, the purification component 43 can be arranged in the air inlet chamber 441. In the internal circulation mode, the auxiliary fan component 41 works, and the dust suction port 142 is connected with the dust removal port 132. The airflow entering the dust removal chamber 131 from the air inlet can enter the dust collecting chamber 140 through the connected dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142. The airflow entering the dust collecting chamber 140 can enter the air inlet chamber 441. The airflow in the air inlet chamber 441 is filtered and purified by the purification component 43 and then enters the wind wheel chamber 421, and is blown into the room through the airflow outlet 424 and the air outlet to improve the indoor air quality.

[0089] Reference Figure 4-Figure 13 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet chamber 441 is located at the lower side of the dust collecting chamber 140, and a connecting port 143 is formed on the bottom wall of the dust collecting chamber 140. The connecting port 143 connects the dust collecting chamber 140 with the air inlet chamber 441. A dust collecting net is provided at the connecting port 143, so that the dust collecting net can intercept impurities such as dust, and can realize the connection between the dust collecting chamber 140 and the air inlet chamber 441, so that the airflow in the dust collecting chamber 140 can enter the air inlet chamber 441, and can prevent the dust and other impurities in the dust collecting chamber 140 from entering the air inlet chamber 441 along with the airflow, thereby preventing the dust and other impurities from entering the room and affecting the indoor air quality.

[0090] In the internal circulation mode, the auxiliary fan component 41 works, and the dust suction port 142 is connected with the dust removal port 132. The airflow entering the dust removal chamber 131 from the air inlet can enter the dust collecting chamber 140 through the connected dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142. The airflow entering the dust collecting chamber 140 can enter the air inlet chamber 441 through the connecting port 143. The dust collecting net can filter impurities in the airflow passing through the connecting port 143; the airflow entering the air inlet chamber 441 is filtered and purified by the purification component 43 and then enters the wind wheel chamber 421, and is blown into the room through the airflow outlet 424 and the air outlet, which can further improve the indoor air quality.

[0091] In the cleaning mode, the auxiliary fan component 41 works, the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move, the dust suction port 142 is connected with the dust removal port 132, the cleaning component 30 contacts the filter to clean the filter, and the dust falling on the filter can enter the dust collecting chamber 140 through the connected dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142. The dust collecting net can intercept dust and other impurities to prevent dust and other impurities in the dust collecting chamber 140 from entering the air inlet chamber 441 with the airflow, thereby preventing dust and other impurities from entering the room and affecting the indoor air quality.

[0092] Reference Figure 4 and Fig.10In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning portion 31 can be movably arranged in the dust removal port 132, so that the cleaning portion 31 can contact the filter in the dust removal chamber 131 and clean the filter, and it is also convenient to adjust the position of the cleaning portion 31 so that the cleaning portion 31 can adapt to the movement direction of the filter to better clean the filter, with better cleaning effect and greater flexibility. In the fresh air mode, the cleaning member 30 blocks the dust suction port 142 to separate the dust removal chamber 131 from the dust collection chamber 140. For example, the cleaning member 30 includes a rotating plate 32, and the rotating plate 32 blocks the dust suction port 142 to separate the dust removal chamber 131 from the dust collection chamber 140.

[0093] Reference Figure 4-Figure 10 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the dust collecting member 14 includes a detachable dust box 141, which is convenient for replacing or maintaining the dust box 141. In addition, after the cleaning mode ends, the dust box 141 can be removed and the dust and other impurities in the dust collecting chamber 140 can be cleaned, thereby making the cleaning of dust convenient and easy to operate.

[0094] For example, before the fresh air mode starts, the dust box 141 can be removed to clean the dust and other impurities in the dust collecting chamber 140 to further ensure the air quality; before the internal circulation mode starts, the dust box 141 can be removed to clean the dust and other impurities in the dust collecting chamber 140 to further ensure the air quality.

[0095] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 and Figure 10-13 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the filter support 11 includes a base 13 and a support body 12, a dust removal chamber 131 is formed in the base 13, the support body 12 is arranged on one side of the base 13 along the left-right direction, and the support body 12 is formed with a first channel 121 and a second channel 122, the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 extend along the left-right direction, and the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction. The first channel 121 and the second channel 122 are both connected to the air inlet, and the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 are both connected to the dust removal chamber 131; the driving mechanism 20 is suitable for driving the filter to move from the first channel 121 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the second channel 122, or the driving mechanism 20 is suitable for driving the filter to move from the second channel 122 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the first channel 121.

[0096] Therefore, when the filter passes through the dust removal chamber 131, the cleaning part 31 located in the dust removal chamber 131 can contact the filter, and the cleaning part 31 can peel off the dust and other impurities on the filter to clean the filter; and when the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move from the first channel 121 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the second channel 122, the cleaning part 31 can clean the filter over a larger range, and the cleaning effect is better; when the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move from the second channel 122 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the first channel 121, the cleaning part 31 can also clean the filter over a larger range, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0097] For example, the first channel 121 is located at the upper side of the second channel 122, the dust removal chamber 131 is located at the left side of the first channel 121 and the second channel 122, the first through hole 321 is located at the left side of the cleaning portion 31, and the second through hole 322 is located at the right side of the cleaning portion 31. In the first connection position, the first through hole 321 connects the dust removal port 132 with the dust suction port 142, the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move from the first channel 121 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the second channel 122, the cleaning portion 31 contacts and cleans the filter, the cleaning portion 31 is located at the front side of the first through hole 321 along the rotation direction of the driving wheel 21, and the cleaning portion 31 can intercept and guide dust to the first through hole 321 while cleaning the filter, so that dust and other impurities on the filter pass through the dust removal port 132, the first through hole 321 and the dust suction port 142 and enter the dust collection chamber 140. In the second connecting position, the second through hole 322 connects the dust removal port 132 and the dust suction port 142, and the driving mechanism 20 drives the filter to move from the second channel 122 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the first channel 121, and the cleaning part 31 contacts and cleans the filter. The cleaning part 31 is located on the front side of the second through hole 322 along the rotation direction of the driving wheel 21. While cleaning the filter, the cleaning part 31 can also intercept and guide the dust to the first through hole 321, so that the dust and other impurities on the filter pass through the dust removal port 132, the second through hole 322 and the dust suction port 142 into the dust collecting chamber 140.

[0098] Reference Fig.14 In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the driving mechanism 20 includes a driving motor and a driving wheel 21. The driving wheel 21 is rotatably disposed in the dust removal chamber 131, and the driving wheel 21 is connected to the driving motor. A meshing portion arranged along the length direction of the filter is formed on the filter. The driving wheel 21 is suitable for meshing with the meshing portion to drive the filter to move. The matching structure of the driving wheel 21 and the filter is relatively simple and the matching stability is relatively strong.

[0099] In the cleaning mode, the driving gear drives the filter to move from the first channel 121 toward the second channel 122, or the driving gear drives the filter to move from the second channel 122 toward the first channel 121; when not in the cleaning mode, the filter is suitable for being accommodated in the first channel 121, or the filter is suitable for being accommodated in the second channel 122, and both the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 can be connected to the air inlet, so that the filter can filter impurities in the air entering the casing from the air inlet to improve the air quality.

[0100] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner further includes a position detector, which is used to detect the position of the filter. For example, the position detector can be a micro switch, a photoelectric sensor, or an electromagnetic inductor. The position detector can be electrically connected to the drive mechanism 20, and the position of the filter can be detected by the position detector. The position detector can transmit the detected position information to the drive mechanism 20, and the drive mechanism 20 works and drives the filter to move, or the drive mechanism 20 stops moving.

[0101] For example, the position detector can be electrically connected to the control unit, and the drive mechanism 20 can also be electrically connected to the control unit. The position detector can transmit the detected position information to the control unit. The control unit can control the drive mechanism 20 to work and drive the filter to move, thereby controlling the movement direction of the filter. The control unit can also control the drive mechanism 20 to stop working.

[0102] Among them, a position detector is provided in the first channel 121, and the position detector is located at the end of the first channel 121 away from the dust removal chamber 131, so as to avoid the position detector occupying the moving space of the filter. For example, the position detector can be provided on the filter bracket 11. When the position detector detects that the filter moves to the end of the first channel 121 away from the dust removal chamber 131, the driving mechanism 20 can drive the filter to move in the reverse direction, or the driving mechanism 20 stops working. Therefore, by detecting the position of the filter through the position detector, the movement state of the filter can be flexibly controlled.

[0103] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a position detector is provided in the second channel 122, and the position detector is located at the end of the second channel 122 away from the dust removal chamber 131, so as to avoid the position detector occupying the moving space of the filter. For example, the position detector can be provided on the filter support 11. When the position detector detects that the filter moves to the end of the second channel 122 away from the dust removal chamber 131, the drive mechanism 20 can drive the filter to move in the reverse direction, or the drive mechanism 20 stops working. Thus, by detecting the position of the filter through the position detector, the movement state of the filter can be flexibly controlled.

[0104] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a position detector is provided in the first channel 121 and is located at the end of the first channel 121 away from the dust removal chamber 131, and a position detector is provided in the second channel 122 and is located at the end of the second channel 122 away from the dust removal chamber 131. This can prevent the position detector from occupying the moving space of the filter. For example, both position detectors can be provided on the filter bracket 11.

[0105] When the position detector detects that the filter has moved to the end of the first channel 121 away from the dust removal chamber 131, the driving mechanism 20 can drive the filter to move in the reverse direction, or the driving mechanism 20 stops working; when the position detector detects that the filter has moved to the end of the second channel 122 away from the dust removal chamber 131, the driving mechanism 20 can drive the filter to move in the reverse direction, or the driving mechanism 20 stops working. Therefore, by detecting the position of the filter through two position detectors, the movement state of the filter can be controlled more flexibly.

[0106] For example, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, in the cleaning mode, the rotating plate 32 moves to the first connecting position, the first through hole 321 connects the dust suction port 142 and the dust removal port 132, the driving wheel 21 rotates and drives the filter to move from the first channel 121 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the second channel 122, when the position detector in the second channel 122 detects that the filter moves to the end of the second channel 122 away from the dust removal chamber 131, the driving mechanism 20 stops working, the rotating plate 32 moves to the second connecting position, the second through hole 322 connects the dust suction port 142 and the dust removal port 132, and then the driving wheel 21 rotates in the opposite direction and drives the filter to move from the second channel 122 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the first channel 121. When the position detector in the first channel 121 detects that the filter has moved to the end of the first channel 121 away from the dust removal chamber 131, the driving mechanism 20 stops working, the rotating plate 32 moves to the first connecting position, and then the driving wheel 21 rotates and drives the filter to move from the first channel 121 through the dust removal chamber 131 to the second channel 122. Thus, the filter can reciprocate in the first channel 121 and the second channel 122. The filter reciprocates in the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 once, and the cleaning member 30 can clean the filter twice, and the cleaning effect is better.

[0109] The filter assembly 10 is arranged at the air inlet, and the filter assembly 10 includes a filter and a filter bracket 11. The filter is movably arranged on the filter bracket 11. The filter bracket 11 includes a base 13 and a bracket body 12. A dust removal chamber 131 is formed in the base 13. A first channel 121 and a second channel 122 are formed in the bracket body 12. The first channel 121 and the second channel 122 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction. The first channel 121 is located on the upper side of the second channel 122. The first channel 121 and the second channel 122 both extend in the left-right direction, and the first channel 121 and the second channel 122 are both connected to the dust removal chamber 131.

[0110] The air conditioner has a cleaning mode.
