For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0039] The air treatment module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the air treatment module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, an electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, a charging module 3, and a protective cover 4.

[0041] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the housing 1 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14. The electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is disposed inside the housing 1 and is used to filter the gas flowing from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 14. The external air flow passes through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, and the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 adsorbs the dust in the external air flow, making the gas flowing from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 14 cleaner.

[0042] The electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be an IFD filter net, an ESP filter net, a friction filter net, etc. In this embodiment, the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be an IFD filter net. When the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is dirty, the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be removed and washed with clean water and reused.

[0043] The air treatment module 100 further includes a high-voltage package, which can be disposed on the housing 1 and is used to supply power to the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2. When the air flow passes through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, achieving the dust removal effect on the air flow passing through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2.

[0044] As Figure 1As shown, the charging module 3 includes a discharge needle 31, which is arranged at the air inlet 13, so that the discharge effect of the charging module 3 can cover the air entering the air treatment module 100 with maximum efficiency. When the discharge needle 31 is energized, corona discharge can be generated, so that the dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 are charged, and when the airflow flows through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the charged dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, so as to achieve the dust removal effect on the air entering the air treatment module 100, and the high voltage electricity released by the discharge needle 31 can kill bacteria in the airflow, so as to achieve the sterilization effect of the air treatment module 100.

[0045] The charging module 3 also includes an O-pole ring 32. An electric field can be generated between the O-pole ring 32 and the discharge needle 31. When the discharge needle 31 discharges, the dust particles in the air within the electric field can be charged, thereby charging the dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13. At the same time, a certain amount of ions will be generated in front of the charging module 3, which can charge the dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 in advance.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the protective cover 4 is movably arranged in the air inlet 13, and the protective cover 4 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the protective cover 4 is arranged outside the discharge needle 31, and in the second position, the discharge needle 31 is located outside the protective cover 4. During the assembly process of the air treatment module 100, the protective cover 4 can be located in the first position, and the protective cover 4 can better wrap the discharge needle 31 to prevent the discharge needle 31 from scratching the finger. When the air treatment module 100 is working and the charging module 3 is discharging, the protective cover 4 is located in the second position, which can avoid the protective cover 4 blocking the discharge needle 31 when the charging module 3 is discharging, and can avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the strength of the electric field of the charging module 3 and the number of ions generated by the discharge needle 31 as much as possible, so as to avoid reducing the probability of dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 being charged, and avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the filtering efficiency of the air treatment module 100.

[0047] According to the air treatment module 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by movably setting the protective cover 4 in the air inlet 13 of the housing 1, and in the first position, the protective cover 4 is set outside the discharge needle 31, the protective cover 4 can better wrap the discharge needle 31 to prevent the discharge needle 31 from scratching the finger. In the second position, the discharge needle 31 is located outside the protective cover 4, and the discharge needle 31 can generate corona discharge, so that the dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 are charged, and when the airflow flows through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the charged dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, so as to achieve the dust removal effect on the air entering the air treatment module 100. It can be avoided as much as possible that the protective cover 4 blocks the discharge needle 31 when the charging module 3 discharges, and it can be avoided as much as possible that the protective cover 4 affects the strength of the electric field of the charging module 3 and the number of ions generated by the discharge needle 31, and the protective cover 4 affects the filtering efficiency of the air treatment module 100.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air treatment module 100 further includes a driving structure 5, which is disposed outside the housing 1 and connected to the protective cover 4, and is used to drive the protective cover 4 to move between the first position and the second position. The driving structure 5 can provide a driving force for the movement of the protective cover 4, and can realize the automation of the rotation of the driving structure 5. The driving structure 5 can better realize the independent rotation of the protective cover 4, and is convenient for the control of the protective cover 4.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the air processing module 100 further includes an air inlet valve 6, which is rotatably disposed at the air inlet 13 and is used to open or close the air inlet 13. When the air processing module 100 is working, the air inlet valve 6 rotates to open the air inlet 13, so that the air processing module 100 can normally take in air, so that the air processing module 100 can work normally; when the air processing module 100 stops working, the air inlet valve 6 rotates to close the air inlet 13, so that dust particles in the external air can be prevented from entering the air processing module 100 through the air inlet 13 when the air processing module 100 is not working, and dust particles can be prevented from being adsorbed on the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 when the air processing module 100 is not working.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the protective cover 4 is provided on the air inlet valve 6 and rotates synchronously with the air inlet valve 6. When the air inlet valve 6 closes the air inlet 13, the protective cover 4 is in the first position. When the air inlet valve 6 opens the air inlet 13, the protective cover 4 is in the second position. It can be understood that when the air inlet valve 6 closes the air inlet 13, the protective cover 4 covers the discharge needle 31, and dust particles in the air outside the air treatment module 100 cannot enter the interior of the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13. When the air inlet valve 6 opens the air inlet 13, the discharge needle 31 is located outside the protective cover 4, which can avoid the protective cover 4 blocking the discharge needle 31 as much as possible during the discharge of the charge module 3, and can avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the intensity of the electric field of the charge module 3 and the number of ions generated by the discharge needle 31, and avoid reducing the probability of the dust particles in the air flow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 being charged, and avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the filtration efficiency of the air treatment module 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when the air inlet valve 6 closes the air inlet 13, along the air flow direction, the air inlet valve 6 is located downstream of the discharge needle 31. The residual current on the discharge needle 31 after the air treatment module 100 stops working may cause the dust particles in the air around the discharge needle 31 to be charged. The air inlet valve 6 can prevent the charged dust particles from moving towards the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, and can prevent the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 from adsorbing dust particles when the air treatment module 100 is not working.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 7 - 9 shown, the protective cover 4 includes two side plates 41 and protective ribs 42. The two side plates 41 are arranged opposite to and parallel to each other. The protective ribs 42 are provided between the two side plates 41 for connecting the two side plates 41. There are multiple protective ribs 42, and the multiple protective ribs 42 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the edge of the side plate 41. In the first position, the discharge needle 31 is located in the space defined by the two side plates 41 and the multiple protective ribs 42, so that the protective cover 4 can better wrap the discharge needle 31 in the first position and avoid the discharge needle 31 scratching the fingers.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a bracket 131 is provided on the inner side wall of the air inlet 13. One end of the bracket 131 facing away from the inner side wall of the air inlet 13 extends towards the center of the air inlet 13, and the discharge needle 31 is arranged at one end of the bracket 131 facing away from the side wall of the air inlet 13. In this embodiment, the discharge needle 31 is located on the side close to the center of the air inlet 13 in the length direction of the bracket 131, and the discharge needle 31 is located at the center position of the air inlet 13. When the discharge needle 31 is energized, corona discharge can be better generated, so that dust particles in the air flow entering the air treatment module 100 are charged from the center position of the air inlet 13, and the charged dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 when the air flow passes through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, realizing the dust removal effect of the air entering the air treatment module 100, and the high-voltage electricity released by the discharge needle 31 can kill bacteria in the air flow, realizing a better bactericidal effect of the air treatment module 100.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, a pull-out port 15 is provided on the housing 1, and the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is detachably arranged in the housing 1 through the pull-out port 15. When it is necessary to clean the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be pulled out through the pull-out port 15, which is convenient for cleaning the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2; after cleaning, the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be installed into the air inlet cavity through the pull-out port 15, and the installation of the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is relatively convenient.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown in the figure, the housing 1 includes a volute 11, a wind wheel and an air inlet bracket 12. The outlet of the volute 11 is configured as an air outlet 14, and the wind wheel is arranged in the volute 11 for driving the air flow to flow from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 14. The air inlet bracket 12 is connected to the volute 11 and defines an air inlet cavity with the volute 11. The air inlet 13 is arranged on the air inlet bracket 12 and communicates with the air inlet cavity. The inlet of the volute 11 communicates with the air inlet cavity, and the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is arranged in the air inlet cavity for filtering the air flow flowing from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 14. The electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be arranged between the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14. When the external air flow flows from the air inlet 13 towards the air outlet 14 under the drive of the wind wheel, the external air flow passes through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, and the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 adsorbs the dust in the external air flow, making the air flow flowing into the volute 11 from the air inlet 13 cleaner.

[0056] Next, the air treatment module 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the following description is only exemplary and is intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.

[0057] As Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the air treatment module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, an electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, a charging module 3, a protective cover 4, a driving structure 5, and an air inlet valve 6.

[0058] Specifically, the housing 1 has an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 14. The housing 1 includes a volute 11, a wind wheel, and an air inlet bracket 12. The outlet of the volute 11 is configured as the air outlet 14. The wind wheel is disposed in the volute 11 and is used to drive the air flow to flow from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 14. The air inlet bracket 12 is connected to the volute 11 and defines an air inlet chamber therebetween. The air inlet 13 is disposed on the air inlet bracket 12 and is communicated with the air inlet chamber. The inlet of the volute 11 is communicated with the air inlet chamber. The electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is disposed in the air inlet chamber and is used to filter the air flow flowing from the air inlet 13 to the air outlet 14. The electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be disposed between the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 14. When the external air flow flows from the air inlet 13 towards the air outlet 14 under the drive of the wind wheel, the external air flow passes through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, and the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 adsorbs the dust in the external air flow, so that the air flow flowing into the volute 11 from the air inlet 13 is relatively clean.

[0059] The charging module 3 includes a discharge needle 31. The discharge needle 31 is disposed at the air inlet 13, so that the discharge effect of the charging module 3 can cover the air entering the air treatment module 100 with the highest efficiency. The charging module 3 further includes an O-pole ring 32. An electric field can be generated between the O-pole ring 32 and the discharge needle 31, so that the dust particles in the air flow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 are charged. At the same time, a certain amount of ions will be generated in front of the charging module 3, which can make the dust particles in the air flow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 be charged in advance, and when the air flow passes through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the charged dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, realizing the dust removal effect on the air entering the air treatment module 100, and the high-voltage electricity released by the discharge needle 31 can kill the bacteria in the air flow, realizing the sterilization effect of the air treatment module 100.

[0060] The protective cover 4 is movably arranged in the air inlet 13, and the protective cover 4 has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the protective cover 4 is arranged outside the discharge needle 31, and in the second position, the discharge needle 31 is located outside the protective cover 4. During the assembly process of the air treatment module 100, the protective cover 4 can be located in the first position, and the protective cover 4 can better wrap the discharge needle 31 to prevent the discharge needle 31 from scratching the finger. When the air treatment module 100 is working and the charging module 3 is discharging, the protective cover 4 is located in the second position, which can avoid the protective cover 4 blocking the discharge needle 31 when the charging module 3 is discharging, and can avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the strength of the electric field of the charging module 3 and the number of ions generated by the discharge needle 31 as much as possible, so as to avoid reducing the probability of dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 being charged, and avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the filtering efficiency of the air treatment module 100.

[0061] The protective cover 4 includes two side panels 41 and protective ribs 42. The two side panels 41 are arranged oppositely and in parallel, and the protective ribs 42 are arranged between the two side panels 41 to connect the two side panels 41. There are multiple protective ribs 42, and the multiple protective ribs 42 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the edge of the side panel 41. In the first position, the discharge needle 31 is located in the space defined by the two side panels 41 and the multiple protective ribs 42, so that the protective cover 4 can better wrap the discharge needle 31 when in the first position to prevent the discharge needle 31 from scratching the finger.

[0062] The air treatment module 100 further includes a driving structure 5, which is disposed outside the housing 1 and connected to the protective cover 4, and is used to drive the protective cover 4 to move between the first position and the second position. The driving structure 5 can provide a driving force for the movement of the protective cover 4, and can realize the automation of the rotation of the driving structure 5. The driving structure 5 can better realize the independent rotation of the protective cover 4, and is convenient for controlling the protective cover 4.

[0063] The air processing module 100 further includes an air inlet valve 6, which is rotatably disposed at the air inlet 13 and is used to open or close the air inlet 13. When the air processing module 100 is working, the air inlet valve 6 rotates to open the air inlet 13, so that the air processing module 100 can normally take in air, so that the air processing module 100 can work normally; when the air processing module 100 stops working, the air inlet valve 6 rotates to close the air inlet 13, so that dust particles in the external air can be prevented from entering the air processing module 100 through the air inlet 13 when the air processing module 100 is not working, and dust particles can be prevented from being adsorbed on the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 when the air processing module 100 is not working.

[0064] The protective cover 4 is arranged on the air inlet valve 6 and rotates synchronously with the air inlet valve 6. When the air inlet valve 6 closes the air inlet 13, the protective cover 4 is located at the first position, and when the air inlet valve 6 opens the air inlet 13, the protective cover 4 is located at the second position. It can be understood that when the air inlet valve 6 closes the air inlet 13, the protective cover 4 is arranged outside the discharge needle 31, and the dust particles in the air outside the air treatment module 100 cannot enter the inside of the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13; when the air inlet valve 6 opens the air inlet 13, the discharge needle 31 is located outside the protective cover 4, which can avoid the protective cover 4 blocking the discharge needle 31 when the charging module 3 discharges, and can avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the strength of the electric field of the charging module 3 and the number of ions generated by the discharge needle 31, so as to avoid reducing the probability of dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 carrying charges, and avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the filtering efficiency of the air treatment module 100.

[0065] When the air inlet valve 6 closes the air inlet 13 , the air inlet valve 6 is located downstream of the discharge needle 31 along the air flow direction.

[0066] A bracket 131 is provided on the inner side wall of the air inlet 13, and one end of the bracket 131 away from the inner side wall of the air inlet 13 extends toward the center of the air inlet 13, and a discharge needle 31 is provided at one end of the bracket 131 away from the side wall of the air inlet 13. In this embodiment, the discharge needle 31 is located on one side of the bracket 131 close to the center of the air inlet 13 in the length direction, and the discharge needle 31 is located at the center of the air inlet 13. When the discharge needle 31 is energized, corona discharge can be better generated, so that dust particles in the airflow entering the air treatment module 100 are charged from the center of the air inlet 13, and when the airflow flows through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the charged dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, so as to achieve a dust removal effect on the air entering the air treatment module 100, and the high voltage electricity released by the discharge needle 31 can kill bacteria in the airflow, so as to achieve a better sterilization effect of the air treatment module 100.

[0067] The housing 1 is provided with a draw-out opening 15, and the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is detachably arranged in the housing 1 through the draw-out opening 15. When the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 needs to be cleaned, the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be pulled out through the draw-out opening 15, which is convenient for cleaning the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2; after cleaning, the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 can be installed into the air inlet cavity through the draw-out opening 15, and the installation of the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2 is relatively convenient.

[0068] The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the above-mentioned air processing module 100 .

[0069] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, by movably setting the protective cover 4 in the air inlet 13 of the housing 1, and in the first position, the protective cover 4 is set outside the discharge needle 31, so that the protective cover 4 can better wrap the discharge needle 31 to prevent the discharge needle 31 from scratching the finger. In the second position, the discharge needle 31 is located outside the protective cover 4, and the discharge needle 31 can generate corona discharge, so that the dust particles in the air flow entering the air treatment module 100 from the air inlet 13 are charged, and when the air flow flows through the electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, the charged dust particles are adsorbed on the charged electrostatic dust removal net assembly 2, so as to achieve the dust removal effect on the air entering the air treatment module 100. It can be avoided as much as possible that the protective cover 4 blocks the discharge needle 31 when the charging module 3 discharges, and it can be avoided as much as possible that the protective cover 4 affects the strength of the electric field of the charging module 3 and the number of ions generated by the discharge needle 31, so as to avoid the protective cover 4 affecting the filtering efficiency of the air treatment module 100 and the air treatment efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air inlet 13 is connected to the outdoor environment. At this time, the air processing module 100 can better process the airflow inhaled from the outdoor environment, prevent the airflow in the outdoor environment from blowing directly into the room, make the airflow blown out by the air conditioner cleaner, and avoid health problems such as air conditioning disease for users.
