[0053] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the present invention provides a filter assembly, which includes:

[0054] A filter screen 1, a support frame 2, a drum 3 and a disassembly baffle 5, wherein a portion of the filter screen 1 can be wound around the outer circumference of the drum 3 and driven to move as the drum 3 rotates, and a disassembly track 7 is provided on the support frame 2. In a disassembly mode, the filter screen 1 can be driven to rotate by the drum 3, and under the limitation of the disassembly baffle 5, can be removed to the outside of the support frame 2 via the disassembly track 7, or assembled to the drum 3 from the outside of the support frame 2 via the disassembly track 7.

[0055] The present invention provides a disassembly and assembly track on the support frame, and cooperates with the structure of the disassembly and assembly baffle to limit the filter screen. Combined with the driving effect of the drum on the filter screen, the filter screen can be automatically driven to be removed to the outside of the support frame via the disassembly and assembly track, and the filter screen can be assembled on the drum from the outside of the support frame through the disassembly and assembly track. The problem that the air conditioner in the prior art cannot realize automatic removal or installation of the filter screen is solved. The filter screen can be disassembled and assembled without stopping the machine, and the filtering function of the filter screen can be continuously operated, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the air conditioner and improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments,

[0057] An outer tooth structure 11 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the drum 3, and an inner tooth structure 12 is provided on the side surface of the filter screen 1 facing the drum 3. The inner tooth structure 12 and the outer tooth structure 11 can form a tooth engagement, so that the filter screen 1 can be driven to move by the rotation of the drum 3.

[0058] The present invention can form tooth meshing with the internal tooth structure on the filter screen through the external tooth structure arranged on the outer peripheral wall of the drum, so that the filter screen is driven to move by the rotation of the drum, thereby completing the installation and removal of the filter screen.

[0059] In some embodiments,

[0060] It also includes a working baffle 4, and a working track 6 is arranged on the support frame 2. In the working mode, the filter screen 1 can be driven to rotate by the drum 3, and under the limitation of the working baffle 4, it is guided to the outer periphery of the drum 3 via the working track 6.

[0061] The present invention also sets a working track on the support frame and cooperates with the structure of the working baffle to limit the filter screen. Combined with the driving effect of the drum on the filter screen, the technical effect of automatically driving the filter screen to the periphery of the drum is achieved.

[0062] The present invention designs a vertical air conditioner movable filter screen disassembly and cleaning structure. The air outlet assembly of the air conditioner in the present invention is shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 As shown, the filter screen 1 is movable and flexible, with a disassembly baffle 5, a working baffle 4, a micro switch 13, a support frame 2, and a drum 3. The filter screen of the air conditioner structure is as follows Fig. 9 As shown, it is a flexible material that can be Figure 1 The middle roller is driven to move along the track structure on the support frame. Figure 1 As shown, a set of "disassembly baffles" and "working baffles" are designed on both sides of the support frame. The two baffles are arranged crosswise and there is a clearance structure on the "disassembly baffles" for the "working baffles" to pass through. Figure 2 Figure 3As shown, the two baffles can be independently controlled to rise and fall, and will not interfere with each other during movement.

[0063] In some embodiments,

[0064] The support frame 2 is provided with a roller receiving groove 8, and one axial end of the roller 3 is arranged in the roller receiving groove 8.

[0065] The bottom of the drum receiving groove 8 is also provided with a first receiving groove 9, and the working baffle 4 is provided in the first receiving groove 9. In the working mode, the working baffle 4 is controlled to extend at least partially out of the first receiving groove 9 to protrude from the bottom of the drum receiving groove 8, so that the filter screen 1 is moved and guided to the outer periphery of the drum 3 through the working baffle 4;

[0066] The bottom of the drum receiving groove 8 is provided with a second receiving groove 10, and the disassembly and assembly baffle 5 is arranged in the second receiving groove 10. In the disassembly and assembly mode, the disassembly and assembly baffle 5 is controlled to extend at least part of its structure out of the second receiving groove 10 to protrude from the bottom of the drum receiving groove 8, so that the filter screen 1 is moved and guided into the disassembly and assembly track 7 through the disassembly and assembly baffle 5.

[0067] The present invention also arranges a drum receiving groove on the support frame, so that one axial end of the drum can be arranged therein, and the drum can be driven to rotate by the motor shaft. A first receiving groove is arranged at the bottom of the drum receiving groove, in which a working baffle can be arranged, and the working baffle can extend out of the first receiving groove, so that the movement of the filter net can be guided, and the filter net is guided to the outer periphery of the drum to meet the filtering requirements in the working mode; a second receiving groove is also arranged at the bottom of the drum receiving groove, in which a disassembly and assembly baffle can be arranged, and the disassembly and assembly baffle can extend out of the second receiving groove, so that the filter net can be limited and guided by the protruding disassembly and assembly baffle in the disassembly and assembly mode, and is guided to the disassembly and assembly track, so as to complete the removal of the filter net from the support frame or the installation on the drum from the outside of the support frame; the disassembly and assembly of the filter net of the present invention can be fully automated, without manual operation, and greatly improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency; and the present invention can complete the assembly of the filter net on the right end drum while removing the filter net on the left drum, and the filter net can be disassembled and assembled without stopping the machine, and the filtering function of the filter net can also be continuously operated, so as to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the air conditioner and improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0068] In some embodiments,

[0069] In the disassembly mode, the working baffle 4 is also controlled to be completely retracted into the first receiving groove 9 so as not to hinder the movement of the filter screen 1 into the disassembly track 7;

[0070] In the working mode, the disassembly baffle 5 is also controlled to be completely retracted into the second receiving groove 10 so as not to hinder the movement of the filter screen 1 to the outer periphery of the drum 3 .

[0071] In the disassembly mode, the filter assembly of the present invention preferably controls the working baffle to be completely retracted into the first accommodating groove, so as not to hinder the movement of the filter in the disassembly track, thereby ensuring that the disassembly process is carried out reliably and effectively; and in the working mode, the disassembly baffle is preferably completely retracted into the second accommodating groove, so that the disassembly baffle does not hinder the movement of the filter around the drum, thereby ensuring that the normal operation of the filter is carried out effectively and reliably.

[0072] When the present invention works normally, Figure 4 As shown, the working baffle 4 is raised and the disassembly baffle 5 is lowered. At this time, a moving track is formed between the "working baffle" and the drum, and the track structure on the support frame is docked to guide the filter to move. The drum rotates clockwise or counterclockwise to drive the filter to move right or left.

[0073] When the filter needs to be removed, Figure 4 The counterclockwise rotation drives the filter to move counterclockwise to Figure 5 When the filter is in the disassembly position, Figure 5 As shown, the bottom of the filter screen contacts the micro switch set at the bottom of the support frame to confirm that the filter screen moves into place. After the movement switch contacts the filter screen and is triggered, the drum stops rotating. Figure 7 As shown, the working baffle 4 is lowered and the disassembly baffle 5 is raised, and after the disassembly baffle 5 is raised, a track is formed between the support frame for the filter to move. Figure 7 As shown in the figure, when the filter reaches the disassembly position, the top of the filter will rise due to its own elasticity and Figure 8 The white arrow in the middle rotates clockwise to drive the filter to move upward and enter the track formed by the baffle and the support frame. The filter continues to move upward and moves to the outside of the air conditioner through the opening on the support frame.

[0074] When installing the filter, insert the filter from the opening on the support frame. The rack structure on the filter meshes with the drum. Figure 8 The counterclockwise rotation of the drum drives the filter downward. After the bottom of the filter contacts the micro switch, the drum stops rotating, the "working baffle" is lowered, and the "disassembly baffle" is raised. The drum rotates clockwise to drive the filter back to the Figure 4 Working position in.

[0075] The switching mechanism in the present invention can automatically push the filter out of the air conditioner, or it can take the filter in from the outside of the air conditioner and guide it to the working position, which can effectively solve the problem of difficulty in disassembling and assembling the filter at the upper air outlet due to the high height of the air conditioner. At the same time, the micro switch on the support frame can also ensure the accuracy of the filter installation, avoiding the situation where the filter is not installed in place.

[0076] In some embodiments,

[0077] The drum accommodating groove 8 is connected to one end of the working track 6, and the drum accommodating groove 8 is connected to one end of the disassembly track 7. The side wall of the drum accommodating groove 8 has a preset distance greater than 0 with the outer periphery of the drum 3 to form a channel allowing the filter screen 1 to move. The working baffle 4 is located at the outer periphery of the drum 3, and the disassembly baffle 5 is located at the outer periphery of the drum 3.

[0078] This is the preferred structural relationship and positional relationship between the drum accommodating groove of the present invention and the working track and the disassembly and assembly track respectively. The drum accommodating groove is connected with one end of the working track, so that the filter net can move along the working track to the drum accommodating groove and be driven by the rotation of the drum. The drum accommodating groove is connected with one end of the disassembly and assembly track, so that the filter net can be driven by the rotation of the drum to enter the disassembly and assembly track to remove the filter net, or enter the drum accommodating groove along the disassembly and assembly track to complete the removal and assembly of the filter net; there is a preset distance greater than 0 between the inner side wall of the drum and the outer periphery of the drum, which can form a space allowing the filter net to move. The working baffle and the disassembly and assembly baffle are respectively located on the outer periphery of the drum, and can form a space between the drum and the filter net to allow the filter net to move.

[0079] In some embodiments,

[0080] The first accommodating groove 9 and the second accommodating groove 10 intersect, and at least a portion of the working baffle 4 extends into the disassembly track 7. When the working baffle 4 protrudes and rises from the first accommodating groove 9, it can prevent the filter screen 1 from being removed from the disassembly track 7, and can also prevent the filter screen 1 from being assembled to the drum 3 from the outside of the support frame 2 through the disassembly track 7.

[0081] The present invention preferably arranges the first and second accommodating grooves to intersect each other, and at least a portion of the working baffle extends into the disassembly track, which can effectively prevent the filter net from entering the disassembly track and being accidentally removed in the working mode, and can also prevent the filter net from being installed from the outside through the disassembly track into the interior of the support frame in the working mode.

[0082] In some embodiments,

[0083] At least a portion of the disassembly baffle 5 extends into the space between the working baffle 4 and the drum 3. When the disassembly baffle 5 protrudes and rises from the second accommodating groove 10, it can block the filter screen 1 from moving from the working track 6 to the outer periphery of the drum 3. The disassembly baffle 5 is also provided with a notch for accommodating the passage of the working baffle 4.

[0084] The disassembly baffle of the present invention preferably has at least a partial section extending into the space between the working baffle and the drum, which can block the filter screen from reaching the periphery of the drum or moving along the periphery of the drum into the working track in the disassembly mode, and a notch is provided on the disassembly baffle to accommodate the passage of the working baffle, so that the two do not interfere with each other in structure and can be raised or retracted independently.

[0085] In some embodiments,

[0086] The side of the outer periphery of the drum 3 away from the working track 6 is arranged opposite to the disassembly track 7 , and when the disassembly baffle 5 extends out of the first accommodating groove 9 , one end of the disassembly baffle 5 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the drum 3 .

[0087] This is the preferred setting position of the disassembly and assembly track of the present invention, that is, it is set at the periphery of the side of the drum away from the working track, so that the filter screen is completely wound to one side of the drum (the left side in the figure) after passing through the drum and is removed upward through the disassembly and assembly track (at this time, the filter screen is driven upward to the disassembly and assembly track by the rotation of the drum opposite to that during operation). Connecting one end of the disassembly and assembly baffle to the outer peripheral wall of the drum can further prevent the filter screen from entering the working track during disassembly and assembly, or the filter screen from reaching the drum on the working track during disassembly and assembly.

[0088] In some embodiments,

[0089] One end of the working baffle 4 is connected to the upper track surface of the working track 6. The working baffle 4 is located above the drum 3, and the surface of the working baffle 4 facing the drum 3 is an arc-shaped surface, so that a space is formed between the working baffle 4 and the drum 3 to accommodate the movement of the filter screen 1.

[0090] This is a further preferred structural form of the working baffle of the present invention, that is, one end of the working baffle is connected to the upper track surface of the working track, and the working baffle is located above the drum, which can effectively limit and guide the movement of the filter screen between the working track and the drum. The working baffle with an arc surface structure can cooperate with the outer periphery of the drum, thereby driving the filter screen with a flexible structure to move in a curve along the drum.

[0091] In some embodiments,

[0092] The working track 6 extends in the horizontal direction, and one end thereof in the horizontal direction is communicated with the roller receiving groove 8. The disassembly and assembly track 7 extends in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the disassembly and assembly track 7 is communicated with the roller receiving groove.

[0093] This is the preferred structural form of the working track and disassembly track of the present invention. The working track preferably extends in the horizontal direction so that the filter net forms a track for moving in the horizontal direction. The disassembly track extends in the vertical direction so that the filter net can be removed vertically upward along the disassembly track or installed in the support frame vertically downward.

[0094] In some embodiments,

[0095] The support frame 2 is provided with two roller accommodating grooves 8, one of which is connected to one end of the working track 6, and the other roller accommodating groove 8 is connected to the other end of the working track 6. There are two rollers 3, each of which is provided with an axial end of a roller 3, and each of which is provided with the working baffle 4 and the disassembly baffle 5. There are two support frames 2, and the two support frames 2 are arranged at intervals, and one axial end of the roller 3 is arranged on one support frame 2, and the other axial end is arranged on the other support frame 2.

[0096] The present invention uses two rollers, so that when one of the filter screens is removed through one roller, the other filter screen can be installed between the two support frames through the other roller, thereby ensuring that the filtering effect is continuously and reliably performed, and the filter screen can be disassembled and replaced without stopping the machine. At the same time, the filtering function of the filter screen can be continuously operated, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the air conditioner and improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0097] The present invention can form a working track and a disassembly track through the structural form of filter screen + gear + working baffle + disassembly baffle, and the structural form of extension and retraction of the disassembly baffle and the working baffle (vertical to the paper direction), so as to achieve the working and disassembly effects respectively. Compared with the structure of the same track for entry and exit in the prior art, it has the following effects: the filter screen can be removed from the left drum while the filter screen can be assembled on the right end drum, and the filtering function of the filter screen can be continuously operated without stopping the machine, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the air conditioner and improving the disassembly efficiency.

[0098] like Figure 1In the present invention, when the filter is inserted from the right end, the right roller drives the filter to move to the left side and engage with the left roller. After engagement, the filtering function is realized. When the filter needs to be replaced, the left roller rotates counterclockwise to bring the filter into the disassembly track, and the left roller rotates clockwise to bring the filter out for disassembly. At the same time, the right roller can work alone and rotate counterclockwise to bring in the filter to be inserted; when the filter to be disassembled is removed, the filter to be inserted just moves completely to the inside to realize the function. The design of the single track where the filter enters and exits can only be completely disassembled and then installed. Compared with the single track, the present invention is more convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the filter and more efficient.

[0099] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, which comprises the aforementioned filter assembly.

[0100] The existing vertical air conditioner is designed with a movable filter at the upper air outlet. For the vertical air conditioner, the upper air outlet is at a high height, and it is difficult to manually remove the filter from the inside of the air conditioner and install it back. Therefore, the present invention designs a vertical air conditioner upper filter disassembly and cleaning structure, which can automatically send the filter out of the air conditioner, simplifying the filter disassembly and installation steps.

[0101] The present invention designs a structure for disassembling and washing the filter screen at the upper air outlet of a vertical air conditioner. The air conditioner has a reversible airflow function, that is, the upper air outlet is also the upper air inlet, and a movable filter screen is arranged at the upper air outlet. In this structure, a "working baffle" and a "disassembly baffle" are designed on the movement track of the filter screen. When the filter screen is in a working state, the "working baffle" rises and the "disassembly baffle" falls. A track is formed between the "working baffle" and the roller that drives the filter screen to move, guiding the filter screen in motion to move in the working position. When the filter screen needs to be disassembled, the "working baffle" falls and the "disassembly baffle" rises. A track is formed between the "disassembly baffle" and the support frame to guide the filter screen in motion to move to the outside of the air conditioner.
