[0073] Background

[0074] As consumers' requirements for air conditioner performance and functions become higher and higher, it is necessary to design air conditioners with novel functions and convenience to meet user needs. For existing air conditioners, for mid-to-high-end models, the air inlet of the indoor unit of the air conditioner generally has an air inlet baffle to protect the evaporator from dust. An air inlet filter is installed on the inside of the air inlet baffle to filter larger particles of dust from the air inlet. Therefore, the current air conditioner with an air inlet baffle has two independent parts installed at the air inlet, the air inlet baffle assembly and the filter assembly, which results in the need to install and disassemble the baffle assembly and the filter assembly separately, and the disassembly process is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0075] Based on this, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a dust shielding assembly for installation at the air inlet of an air conditioner, and the dust shielding assembly includes:

[0076] The dust shielding module 200 and the first driving module; wherein,

[0077] The dust shielding module 200 includes a baffle 201 and a filter 202, wherein the baffle 201 and the filter 202 are fixedly connected together and an angle is formed between the two.

[0078] When the dust shielding module 200 is driven to move, it has a first dust shielding position where the baffle shields the air inlet 101 and the filter screen avoids the air inlet 101, and a second dust shielding position where the filter screen shields the air inlet 101 and the baffle avoids the air inlet 101;

[0079] The first driving module is drivingly connected to the dust shielding module 200 , and the baffle 201 and the filter screen 202 can rotate synchronously under the drive of the first driving module and can switch between a first dust shielding position and a second dust shielding position.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present application, the baffle 201 and the filter 202 are integrated into a dust shielding module that can move synchronously, and driven by the first driving module, so that the dust shielding module in the embodiment of the present application can have the traditional baffle dust shielding effect and the filter dust shielding effect, and it is also convenient for the disassembly and assembly of the baffle and the filter.

[0081] It should be noted that the meaning of "avoiding" in the filter avoiding the air inlet 101 mentioned in the embodiment of the present application is that the air from the air inlet does not pass through the filter 202. Similarly, the meaning of "avoiding" in the baffle avoiding 101 mentioned in the embodiment of the present application is that the air from the air inlet does not pass through the baffle.

[0082] Further, in some possible implementations, a rotating shaft 203 is provided at the connection between the baffle 201 and the filter screen, and the first driving module is drivingly connected to the rotating shaft 203;

[0083] When the rotating shaft 203 is driven to rotate by the first driving module, the dust shielding module 200 composed of the baffle 201 and the filter screen 202 can switch between the first dust shielding position and the second dust shielding position.

[0084] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dust shielding module 200 can be switched between the first dust shielding position and the second dust shielding position by driving the rotating shaft to rotate forward and reversely through the first driving module.

[0085] Specifically, Figure 3 The dust shielding module 200 is in the first dust shielding position. Figure 4 The dust shielding module 200 is in the second dust shielding position.

[0086] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the angle between the baffle 201 and the filter screen 202 is designed to be greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 180°.

[0087] Preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the angle between the baffle 201 and the filter screen 202 is designed to be 90°;

[0088] When the dust shielding module (200) is in the first dust shielding position, the baffle (201) in the dust shielding module (200) is arranged parallel to the air inlet (101) to shield the air inlet, and the filter (202) is arranged perpendicular to the air inlet (101) to avoid the air inlet;

[0089] When the dust shielding module (200) is in the second dust shielding position, the filter (202) in the dust shielding module (200) is arranged parallel to the air inlet (101) to shield the air inlet, and the baffle (201) is arranged perpendicular to the air inlet (101) to avoid the air inlet.

[0090] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the angle between the baffle 201 and the filter 202 is designed to be 90°, the dust shielding module 200 can be switched between the first dust shielding position and the second dust shielding position by driving the dust shielding module 200 to rotate 90° forwards and backwards through the first driving module.

[0091] Further, in some possible implementations, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air inlet 101 is a rectangular air inlet with a long edge and a short edge, the baffle 201 and the filter 202 are long flat components, the baffle 201 has a baffle long side 2011 corresponding to the long edge of the air inlet 101, and a baffle short side 2012 corresponding to the short edge of the air inlet 101, the filter 202 has a filter long side 2021 corresponding to the long edge of the air inlet 101, and a filter short side 2022 corresponding to the short edge of the air inlet 101;

[0092] The baffle long side 2011 of the baffle 201 and the filter long side 2021 of the filter 202 are connected together.

[0093] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the dust shielding assembly includes a plurality of dust shielding modules 200 , and a rotation gap 500 for the dust shielding modules 200 to rotate is formed between two adjacent dust shielding modules 200 .

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, a rotation gap 500 for the dust shielding modules 200 to rotate is formed between two adjacent dust shielding modules 200, so that interference between the two adjacent dust shielding modules 200 during rotation can be avoided.

[0095] Further, in some possible implementations, a plurality of dust shielding modules 200 are coordinated and matched together;

[0096] The first driving module drives one of the plurality of dust shielding modules to rotate.

[0097] Further, in some possible implementations, the dust shielding assembly further includes a shielding member 600 disposed above the rotating gap 500;

[0098] in

[0099] When the multiple dust shielding modules 200 rotate to the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface blocks the air inlet 101 and the filter surface avoids the air inlet 101, the shielding member 600 is located between two adjacent baffles 201 to shield the air inlet area not blocked by the baffle 201 through the shielding member 600.

[0100] In the embodiment of the present application, a shielding member 600 is provided so that when the dust shielding module 200 is in the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface shields the air inlet 101, the shielding member 600 can cover the gap between two adjacent baffles 201, thereby preventing external dust or impurities from entering the body 100 through the gap.

[0101] Furthermore, the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a dust removal assembly, which is used to cooperate with the dust shielding assembly provided in the first aspect of the embodiment of the present application to clean the baffle and filter in the dust shielding assembly.

[0102] Specifically, in some possible implementations, the dust removal assembly includes a dust removal module 300 that can move along the length direction of the baffle and the filter screen, and the dust removal module 300 includes two cleaning members 301 that are oppositely and spaced apart.

[0103] in

[0104] When the dust shielding module 200 moves to the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface shields the air inlet 101 and the filter surface avoids the air inlet 101, the two cleaning members 301 in the dust shielding module 300 can move to both sides of the filter surface of the filter 202 to clean the two filter surfaces of the filter by moving the dust removal module 300.

[0105] When the dust shielding module 200 moves to the second dust shielding position where the filter surface blocks the air inlet 101 and the baffle surface avoids the air inlet 101, by driving the dust removal module 300 to move, the two cleaning parts 301 in the dust removal module 300 can be moved to the two sides of the baffle surface of the baffle 201 to clean the two baffle surfaces of the baffle.

[0106] Further, in some possible implementations, when the dust shielding module 200 moves to the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface shields the air inlet 101 and the filter surface avoids the air inlet 101, the short side of the filter 202 is located between the two opposite cleaning members 301;

[0107] When the dust shielding module 200 moves to the second dust shielding position where the filter surface shields the air inlet 101 and the baffle surface avoids the air inlet 101 , the short side of the baffle 201 is located between the two opposite cleaning members 301 .

[0108] Specifically, when the short side of the filter 202 is located between two opposite cleaning parts 301 in the horizontal direction of the body 100, by controlling the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two cleaning parts 301 can be respectively moved to the front and rear sides of the filter 202 and contact the filter surface of the filter 202, thereby cleaning the surface of the filter 202. At the same time, by further driving the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two opposite cleaning parts 301 in the dust removal module 300 can also move along the filter surface of the filter 202, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the filter 202.

[0109] To be more specific, when the short side of the baffle 201 is located between two opposite cleaning members 301 in the horizontal direction of the body 100, by controlling the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two cleaning members 301 can be respectively moved to the front and rear sides of the baffle 201 and contact the baffle surface of the baffle 201, thereby achieving cleaning of the baffle surface. At the same time, by further driving the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two opposite cleaning members 301 in the dust removal module 300 can also move along the baffle surface of the baffle 201, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the baffle 201.

[0110] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the dust removal component further includes:

[0111] A dust removal box 400, wherein the top of the dust removal box 400 has a dust removal box opening, and the dust removal module 300 is disposed on the dust removal box 400 and forms an integral body with the dust removal box 400;

[0112] When the cleaning member 301 cleans the surface of the baffle 201 or the surface of the filter screen 202 , the cleaned dust can fall into the dust removal box 400 through the opening of the dust removal box.

[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, a dust removal box 400 is provided to collect the cleaned dust, thereby preventing the dust from falling onto the electrical components inside the body 100, thereby avoiding secondary contamination of the electrical components inside the body 100.

[0114] Further, in some possible implementations, the cleaning member 301 includes a brush having a bottom side connected to the inner bottom end of the dust removal box 400 and a top side passing through an opening of the dust removal box and placed above the dust removal box 400;

[0115] The portion of the brush located above the dust removal box 400 is formed with a brush head.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, a part of the brush is arranged above the dust box 400, so that the dust box 400 and the brush can be prevented from interfering with the baffle 201 or the filter 202 when moving horizontally along the body 100. At the same time, by arranging the brush head only on the brush located above the dust box 400, it is possible to ensure the dust removal effect while facilitating the dust after cleaning to fall into the dust box 400.

[0117] Furthermore, in some possible implementations, the dust removal component further includes:

[0118] The second driving module is used to drive the dust removal box 400 to move along the length direction of the baffle and the filter screen. When the dust removal box 400 moves, it drives the dust removal module 300 to move.

[0119] Further, in some possible embodiments, the dust removal assembly includes multiple dust removal modules 300, the multiple dust removal modules 300 correspond one to one to the multiple dust shielding modules 200, and the multiple dust shielding modules 200 and the multiple dust removal modules 300 are distributed in the front and rear directions of the body 100 when installed in the air conditioner body 100.

[0120] Furthermore, a third aspect of the embodiment of the present application provides a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, comprising:

[0121] The body 100, the dust shielding assembly provided in the first aspect of the embodiment, and the dust removal assembly provided in the second aspect of the embodiment, the top of the body 100 is provided with an air inlet 101;

[0122] The dust shielding component is disposed at the air inlet 101, and the dust removal component is disposed inside the machine body 100 and can move in the horizontal direction along the machine body 100;

[0123] in

[0124] When the dust shielding module 200 moves to the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface shields the air inlet 101 and the filter surface avoids the air inlet 101, the two filter surfaces of the filter 202 are opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction of the machine body 100, and the dust removal module 300 is opposite to the side of the filter 202 in the horizontal direction of the machine body, and by driving the dust removal module 300 to move in the horizontal direction of the machine body 100, the two cleaning members 301 in the dust removal module 300 can be moved to the front and rear sides of the filter 202 to clean the two filter surfaces located in the front-to-back direction of the machine body 100;

[0125] When the dust shielding module 200 moves to the second dust shielding position in which the filter surface blocks the air inlet 101 and the baffle surface avoids the air inlet 101, the two baffle surfaces of the baffle 201 are opposite to each other in the front-to-back direction of the body 100, and the dust removal module 300 is opposite to the side of the baffle 201 in the horizontal direction of the body 100, and by driving the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two cleaning parts 301 in the dust removal module 300 can be moved to the front and rear sides of the baffle 201 to clean the two baffle surfaces located in the front-to-back direction of the body 100.

[0126] The indoor unit in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a dust shielding module 200 that integrates the baffle 201 and the filter 202, and combined with the movement of the dust removal module 300, so that on the one hand, when the dust shielding module 200 moves to the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface blocks the air inlet 101 and the filter surface avoids the air inlet 101, the two filter surfaces avoiding the air inlet 101 can be cleaned by the moving dust removal module 300, and on the other hand, when the dust shielding module 200 moves to the second dust shielding position where the filter surface blocks the air inlet 101 and the baffle surface avoids the air inlet 101, the two baffle surfaces avoiding the air inlet 101 can be cleaned by the moving dust removal module 300, so that both the two filter surfaces of the filter 202 and the two baffle surfaces of the baffle 201 can be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter 202 and the baffle 202.

[0127] Further, in some possible implementations, when the dust shielding module 200 moves to the first dust shielding position where the baffle surface shields the air inlet 101 and the filter surface avoids the air inlet 101, the short side of the filter 202 is located between the two opposite cleaning members 301 in the horizontal direction of the body 100;

[0128] When the dust shielding module 200 moves to the second dust shielding position where the filter surface shields the air inlet 101 and the baffle surface avoids the air inlet 101, the short side of the baffle 201 is located between the two opposite cleaning members 301 in the horizontal direction of the body 100.

[0129] Specifically, when the short side of the filter 202 is located between two opposite cleaning parts 301 in the horizontal direction of the body 100, by controlling the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two cleaning parts 301 can be respectively moved to the front and rear sides of the filter 202 and contact the filter surface of the filter 202, thereby cleaning the surface of the filter 202. At the same time, by further driving the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two opposite cleaning parts 301 in the dust removal module 300 can also move along the filter surface of the filter 202, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the filter 202.

[0130] To be more specific, when the short side of the baffle 201 is located between two opposite cleaning members 301 in the horizontal direction of the body 100, by controlling the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two cleaning members 301 can be respectively moved to the front and rear sides of the baffle 201 and contact the baffle surface of the baffle 201, thereby achieving cleaning of the baffle surface. At the same time, by further driving the dust removal module 300 to move along the horizontal direction of the body 100, the two opposite cleaning members 301 in the dust removal module 300 can also move along the baffle surface of the baffle 201, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the baffle 201.

[0131] Further, in some possible implementations, the dust removal module 300 has an initial position;

[0132] When the dust removal module 300 is located at the initial position, the dust removal module 300 avoids the air inlet 101 in the height direction of the body 100 .

[0133] Specifically, when there is no need to clean the baffle 201 or the filter 202 in the dust shielding module 200, or when the dust shielding position of the dust shielding module 200 needs to be switched, the dust removal module 300 can be controlled to be in the initial position, so that the dust removal module 300 will neither affect the air intake of the air inlet 101 nor interfere with the dust shielding module 200 when the dust shielding module 200 switches the dust shielding position.

[0134] Further, in some possible implementations, the plurality of dust shielding modules 200 and the plurality of dust removal modules 300 are distributed in the front-to-back direction of the machine body 100;

[0135] A rotation gap 500 for the dust shielding modules 200 to rotate is formed between two adjacent dust shielding modules 200 in the front-to-back direction of the machine body 100 .

[0136] In order to more clearly understand the structure and working principle of the air conditioner indoor unit in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 6 To explain in detail:

[0137] At present, for air conditioners equipped with air inlet baffles, when the air conditioner is not used for a long time, the air inlet baffles are closed to prevent dust from entering the interior of the air conditioner, and the dust accumulates on the air inlet baffles.

[0138] When the air conditioner is turned on and used, the air inlet baffle is opened upright, and air enters the air conditioner from the air inlet close to the air inlet baffle, which will bring the dust on the air inlet baffle into the air conditioner, greatly reducing the significance of the air inlet baffle.

[0139] The air conditioner indoor unit provided in the embodiment of the present application can solve the problem of cleaning the dust on the air inlet baffle. At the same time, most of the current filter dust removal devices can only clean the dust on one side of the filter, so when cleaning the dust on the filter, the dust on one side of the filter may be pushed to the other side, and the filter cannot be effectively and thoroughly cleaned. In the embodiment of the present application, the filter 202 is combined with the baffle 201 to divide the conventional whole filter into small sections. When the air conditioner is turned off, the cleaning mode is turned on, and the filter surfaces on both sides of each small section of the filter 202 can be cleaned.

[0140] Conventional filter cleaning devices, if the filter is a moving structure, most of the time the filter needs to be bent, which greatly reduces the service life of the filter. If the dust removal device is a moving cleaning device, most of the time the dust removal device needs to have a dust suction function to suck the swept dust into the dust box. In the embodiment of the present application, the dust removal module 300 moves. When cleaning the air inlet baffle 201 or the filter 202, the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 are both in a vertical state. After the brush sweeps the dust, the dust falls directly into the dust box 400 due to gravity.

[0141] like Figure 1 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 are designed to be an integrated structure, and the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 form a certain angle, preferably 90° between the two. The integrated structure shaft 203 is designed at the angle between the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202, and the first driving module (preferably a motor) cooperates with the shaft 203 to drive the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 to rotate;

[0142] like Figure 2 As shown, the dust removal module is composed of a brush and a dust removal box 400. The two brushes are designed to form a pair with the brush heads facing each other. Each pair of brushes is responsible for a dust shielding module 200 composed of an air inlet baffle 201 and a filter 202, and is used to clean it. The two brushes can clean both sides of the air inlet baffle 201 or the filter 202. Multiple pairs of brushes are set on the dust removal box 400, and tracks are designed at both ends of the dust removal box 400, and the movement of the dust removal box 400 can be controlled by a screw structure or a conveyor belt structure.

[0143] like Figure 4 As shown, in the air inlet baffle dust removal mode, the air inlet baffle 201 is in a vertical state. When the dust removal module 300 moves, the brush cleans the baffle surfaces of the air inlet baffle 201 on the front and rear sides of the body 100 and sweeps the dust into the dust removal box 400.

[0144] like Figure 3 As shown, in the filter dust removal mode, the filter 202 is in a vertical state. When the dust removal module 300 moves, the brush cleans the baffle surfaces of the filter 202 located on the front and rear sides of the body 100 and sweeps the dust into the dust removal box 400.

[0145] Dust removal control mode:

[0146] like Figure 6 As shown, the indoor unit is turned on to detect the dirtiness and blockage of the filter 202 {by setting the operating air volume, motor load, filter transmittance, etc. of the detection mode to determine whether they meet the set values}. If they do not exceed the set values, the air conditioner will run directly and the filter 202 does not need to be cleaned; if they exceed the preset value, the integrated dust shielding module 200 composed of the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 will rotate counterclockwise by 90° to make the filter 202 in a vertical state, and the dust removal module 300 will move back and forth from the left side to the right side of the air conditioner {the left and right sides of the air conditioner are the horizontal sides of the aforementioned body} by the second driving module. Check the filter 202 again to see if it is qualified. If it is not qualified, the dust removal module moves back and forth from the left side to the right side of the air conditioner by the second driving module, and then checks again. If it is still not qualified, the user is reminded to deeply clean the filter 202 or replace the filter 202. If the test is qualified, the integrated dust shielding module 200 composed of the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 rotates 90° clockwise to make the air inlet baffle 201 in a vertical state, and the dust removal module 300 moves back and forth from the left side to the right side of the air conditioner by the second driving module to complete the cleaning of the air inlet baffle 201. The air conditioner starts to run cooling or heating.

[0147] In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 are designed to be integrated, and the rotating shaft 203 of the integrated device is set at the connection between the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202, which can realize 90° clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, and the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202 are in the same vertical position; the dust removal module 300 is synchronously combined to realize the self-cleaning function of both filter surfaces of the filter 202, and the self-cleaning function can be realized by controlling the integrated rotation of the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202.

[0148] By adding a dust removal box 400 and multiple pairs of brushes arranged on the dust removal box below the integrated air inlet baffle 201 and filter 202 of the indoor unit, two brush heads of a pair of brushes are opposite to each other, and the middle of the two brush heads corresponds to a filter 202 or the corresponding air inlet baffle 201. The brush and the dust removal box 400 are designed to be integrated, and the dust removal box 400 runs from one side of the air conditioner to the other side through a transmission device {preferably a screw}, so as to achieve integrated cleaning of the air inlet baffle 201 and the filter 202.
