[0033] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0034] Existing air conditioners will add filters on the return air side of the indoor unit to prevent foreign matter or large dust particles in the air from entering the air conditioning circulation system, damaging the internal components of the circulation system and causing damage to the air conditioner. However, after the filter has been used for a long time, many large dust particles in the air will adhere to the surface of the filter, causing the return air channel to be blocked, reducing the return air volume and the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner. Generally, users will regularly replace the filters in the air conditioner. Users may replace different types of filters according to their needs, and the filter size will also be different from the original filter.

[0035] In view of this, the filter screen installation structure proposed in the present invention can adapt to filter screens of different sizes.

[0036] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The filter screen installation structure proposed by the present invention includes:

[0037] An installation slide rail 1 is formed with an installation slide groove 2 inside the installation slide rail 1, and the installation slide groove 2 is slidably connected to one side of the filter screen;

[0038] At least one adjustment component is arranged in the installation slide groove 2, and the adjustment component includes a liftable limit member 3 and a lifting mechanism. The limit member 3 adjusts the lifting position under the action of the lifting mechanism to confine filters of different sizes in the installation slide groove 2.

[0039] The advantage of such a design is that an adjustment component is provided in the installation slot 2 in the installation rail 1, and the filter is confined in the installation slot 2 by means of the limit member 3 in the adjustment component, and the lifting position of the limit member 3 is adjusted by means of the lifting mechanism in the adjustment component, so that the limit member 3 can confine filters of different sizes in the installation slot 2, thereby enabling the filter installation structure to install filters of different sizes, thereby improving the use range of the filter, increasing user selectivity, and effectively improving the competitiveness of the product.

[0040] It should be noted that the lifting mechanism in the present invention has various structural types, and the structure of the lifting mechanism is now specifically described.

[0041] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism adopts a telescopic cylinder, the driving end of the telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the limit member 3, and the limit member 3 is lifted and lowered by the telescopic cylinder to adjust the lifting position of the limit member 3.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3 The lifting mechanism includes a plurality of lifting rods, a first end of the lifting rod is rotatably connected to the groove wall of the mounting slide groove 2, and a second end of the lifting rod is slidably connected to the limit member 3.

[0043] The first end of the lifting rod is connected to a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the mounting slide groove 2, and the lifting rod can rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0044] In actual application, each lifting rod can be driven to rotate by manual operation, or each lifting member can be driven to rotate by a driving member (such as a motor or a cylinder).

[0045] Further preferably, the number of lifting rods in the lifting mechanism is set to three, and the limiting member 3 is driven to perform a lifting action through the synchronous rotation of the three lifting rods.

[0046] Further preferably, the lifting rods in the lifting mechanism can have multiple rotation directions. For example, when the lifting mechanism drives the limiter 3 to be lifted, some of the lifting rods rotate in a clockwise direction, and some of the lifting rods rotate in a counterclockwise direction; for another example, when the lifting mechanism drives the limiter 3 to be lifted, all of the lifting rods rotate in the same direction, that is, clockwise, or counterclockwise.

[0047] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the lifting mechanism includes a main lifting rod 41 and two auxiliary lifting rods 42, and the rotation direction of the auxiliary lifting rod 42 is opposite to that of the main lifting rod 41. When the lifting mechanism drives the limiter 3 to be lifted, the main lifting rod 41 rotates in the counterclockwise direction, and the auxiliary lifting rod 42 rotates in the clockwise direction. This design is conducive to ensuring that the limiter 3 can be lifted and lowered smoothly.

[0048] Of course, in other optional embodiments, the number of the main lifting rods 41 and the auxiliary lifting rods 42 in the lifting mechanism can also be other values. The number of the main lifting rods 41 and the number of the auxiliary lifting rods 42 can also be set to be the same.

[0049] Further preferably, the thickness of the lifting rods in the lifting mechanism is not uniform. The main lifting rod 41 is thicker than the auxiliary lifting rod 42. This design is conducive to ensuring that the number of main lifting rods 41 is less than the number of auxiliary lifting rods 42, while ensuring that the limiter 3 can be lifted and lowered smoothly.

[0050] It should be noted that the limiting member 3 in the present invention has various structural types, and the structure of the limiting member 3 is now specifically described.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting member 3 is a limiting boss.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the limiting member 3 is a limiting plate.

[0053] Further preferably, a plurality of slide grooves corresponding to the lifting rod are provided on the back of the limiter 3. When the lifting rod rotates, the second end of the lifting rod slides in the corresponding slide groove on the limiter 3. Such a design can make the rotation of the lifting rod smoother and the lifting of the limiter 3 more stable.

[0054] More preferably, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the second end of the lifting rod is provided with a positioning inclined surface, and one end of the slide groove is provided with a matching inclined surface that matches the positioning inclined surface. When the lifting rod is rotated to the maximum angle, the positioning inclined surface of the lifting rod abuts against the matching inclined surface of the corresponding slide groove, which is conducive to ensuring that the lifting rod stays at the maximum angle, thereby realizing lifting the limiter 3 to the highest position.

[0055] Further preferably, the groove wall of the installation slide groove 2 is provided with a receiving groove 21 for receiving the adjustment component. Such a design enables the lifting mechanism and the stopper 3 in the adjustment component to be sunk in the receiving groove 21 in the default state, thereby avoiding damage to the adjustment component during loading, unloading and transportation.

[0056] Further preferably, when the stopper 3 is in the lowest position, the distance between the upper surface of the stopper 3 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 21 is the groove depth of the receiving groove 21. This design enables the upper surface of the stopper 3 to be flush with the groove wall of the installation slide groove 2 when the stopper 3 is in the lowest position, so that the stopper 3 is also completely sunk in the receiving groove 21 in the default state.

[0057] Further preferably, the number of the adjustment components is set to three, and the three adjustment components are arranged on different groove walls of the mounting slide groove 2.

[0058] It should be noted that the filter screen is usually in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. If the size of the filter screen is different, it can be reflected in at least one of the length, height and thickness of the filter screen. Based on this, in order to make the filter screen installation structure adaptable to filter screens of more sizes, an adjustment component is provided on each of the three groove walls of the installation groove 2 in the installation slide rail 1 to ensure that the filter screen installation structure can be closer to the filter screen installation size required by the user.

[0059] The air conditioner provided by the present invention comprises a shell with a return air port and a filter arranged in the shell. Two opposite filter mounting seats are arranged in the shell. The filter can be slidably arranged in the two filter mounting seats. The filter mounting seats adopt a filter mounting structure.

[0060] Preferably, please also refer to Figures 1 to 5 The filter installation structure includes a mounting rail 1 and an adjustment component.

[0061] The mounting slide rail 1 forms a mounting slot 2 inside, and a slot wall inside the mounting slot 2 is provided with a receiving slot 21, and the slot depth of the receiving slot 21 can be sufficient to fully accommodate the adjustment component. The bottom wall of the receiving slot 21 can also have multiple sub-receiving slots 21, that is, a first sub-receiving slot 21 and two second sub-receiving slots 21.

[0062] The adjustment assembly includes a limit member 3 and a lifting mechanism. The limit member 3 adopts a limit plate, and three slide grooves are provided on the back of the limit member 3, namely, a first slide groove 31 and two second slide grooves 32. The lifting mechanism includes three lifting rods, namely, a main lifting rod 41 and two auxiliary lifting rods 42, and the main lifting rod 41 is thicker than the auxiliary lifting rod 42. The rotation direction of the main lifting rod 41 is opposite to the rotation direction of the auxiliary lifting rod 42. The first end of the main lifting rod 41 is connected to a rotating shaft, and the second end of the main lifting rod 41 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 31 of the limit member 3; the first end of the auxiliary lifting rod 42 is connected to a rotating shaft, and the second end of the auxiliary lifting rod 42 is slidably connected to the second slide groove 32 of the limit member 3. At the same time, the second end of the main lifting rod 41 is provided with a first positioning inclined surface 410, and one end of the first sliding groove 31 is provided with a first matching inclined surface 310 matching with the first positioning inclined surface 410; the second end of the auxiliary lifting rod 42 is provided with a second positioning inclined surface 420, and one end of the second sliding groove 32 is provided with a second matching inclined surface 320 matching with the second positioning inclined surface 420.

[0063] It should be noted that when installing the filter in the housing, the two sides of the filter are respectively inserted into the installation slots 2 of the installation rails 1. After confirming the size of the filter used by the user, the main lifting rod 41 and the auxiliary lifting rod 42 are controlled to rotate around the corresponding rotation axis. At this time, the second end of the main lifting rod 41 is separated from the first sub-accommodating slot 21 and moves in the first slot 31. At this time, the second end of the auxiliary lifting rod 42 is separated from the second sub-accommodating slot 21 and moves in the second slot 32 until the limit member 3 reaches a suitable lifting position. The main lifting rod 41 and the auxiliary lifting rod 42 are controlled to stop rotating. The second end of the main lifting rod 41 is against the first slot 31 of the limit member 3, and the second end of the auxiliary lifting rod 42 is against the second slot 32 of the limit member 3. Figure 2 As shown, the limiting member 3 is lifted by 5 mm. In this installation state, the limiting member 3 abuts against one side edge of the filter screen of a certain size, thereby limiting the filter screen of this size in the installation slot 2.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
