In some existing technologies, the purification net is divided into consumable and non-consumable types. The consumable purification net needs to be replaced regularly, increasing the use cost of the air conditioner. The non-consumable purification net requires the user to clean it regularly, causing complaints from users.

[0054] Reference is made below Figures 1 - 14 to describe the fresh air assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] As Figures 1 - 14 shown, the fresh air assembly 100 according to the present invention includes: a fresh air housing 10, a filter element 20 and a cleaning member 30. A fresh air inlet and a fresh air outlet 113 are formed in the fresh air housing 10. The filter element 20 is disposed in the fresh air housing 10 for filtering the air flow entering through the fresh air inlet and / or flowing out through the fresh air outlet 113. The cleaning member 30 is provided with a cleaning outlet 31 located in the fresh air housing 10. The cleaning member 30 is adapted to drive a cleaning medium to pass through the cleaning outlet 31 through the filter element 20 to clean the filter element 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, the external air flow can enter the fresh air housing 10 through the fresh air inlet. A wind wheel 121 is disposed in the fresh air housing 10. The wind wheel 121 is adapted to convert the air flow inside the fresh air housing 10 into a high-speed air flow and flow out through the fresh air outlet 113. The filter element 20 can filter the air flow entering the fresh air housing 10 through the fresh air inlet, so that the air flow flowing out of the fresh air assembly 100 is cleaner; in other embodiments, the filter element 20 can filter the air flow flowing out through the fresh air outlet 113, so that the air flow flowing out of the fresh air assembly 100 is cleaner; in still other embodiments, two filter elements 20 are disposed in the fresh air housing 10. One of the filter elements 20 can filter the air flow entering through the fresh air inlet, and the other filter element 20 can filter the air flow flowing out through the fresh air outlet 113. Thus, the air flow flowing out of the fresh air assembly 100 can be cleaned multiple times, improving the cleanliness of the air flow flowing out of the fresh air assembly 100.

[0057] It can be understood that the filter element 20 of the present application is configured as a consumable-free purification net. When the air conditioner 1000 is operating normally, the filter element 20 can be electrically connected to an external power supply and adsorb dust in the air flow passing through the filter element 20 by means of electrostatic adsorption. When it is necessary to clean the filter element 20, the electrical connection between the filter element 20 and the external power supply is disconnected to reduce the adsorption force of the filter element 20 on the dust. At this time, the cleaning member 30 drives the cleaning medium to be discharged from the cleaning outlet 31 and makes the cleaning medium pass through the filter element 20 to take away the adsorbed dust on the filter element 20, thereby realizing the cleaning of the filter element 20. It is worth mentioning that the cleaning medium can be water, air, etc., and there is no limitation here.

[0058] According to the fresh air assembly 100 involved in the present invention, by arranging the cleaning member 30 in the fresh air housing 10, and the cleaning member 30 is adapted to drive the cleaning medium to pass through the cleaning outlet 31 and through the filter element 20 to clean the filter element 20. Thus, the filter element 20 can be cleaned in the fresh air housing 10, avoiding the user from manually disassembling the filter element 20 to clean it, and improving the user experience.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the filter element 20 is movably arranged in the fresh air housing 10 and / or at least part of the cleaning member 30 is movably arranged in the fresh air housing 10 to adjust the position of the cleaning outlet 31.

[0060] In some embodiments, the filter element 20 is movably arranged in the fresh air housing 10. At this time, the cleaning member 30 is fixed relative to the fresh air housing 10. When cleaning the filter element 20, the cleaning medium flows out of the cleaning member 30 through the cleaning outlet 31, and the filter element 20 moves relative to the fresh air housing 10 to adjust the relative position between the filter element 20 and the cleaning member 30. During the movement of the filter element 20, the filter element 20 is cleaned, so that the cleaning medium can flow through all areas of the filter element 20, thereby realizing the overall cleaning of the filter element 20 and improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 20.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the cleaning member 30 is movably arranged in the fresh air housing 10. At this time, the filter element 20 is fixed relative to the fresh air housing 10, and the cleaning member 30 moves relative to the fresh air housing 10 to adjust the position of the cleaning outlet 31. During the movement of the cleaning member 30, the filter element 20 is cleaned, so that the cleaning medium can perform overall cleaning on the filter element 20, and the cleaning effect of the filter element 20 is improved.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a guiding portion 41 is formed inside the fresh air housing 10. The filter element 20 is movably arranged in the guiding portion 41, and the guiding portion 41 is inclined in the height direction. It can be understood that the guiding portion 41 is adapted to guide and limit the moving direction of the filter element 20, so that the filter element 20 can move stably, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the cleaning member 30 on the filter element 20. At the same time, the guiding portion 41 is inclined in the height direction, that is, an included angle is formed between the extending direction of the guiding portion 41 and the height direction. Thus, the filter element 20 can move along the extending direction of the guiding portion 41, that is, the filter element 20 can be inclined in the height direction, and the cleaning medium remaining on the filter element 20 can quickly leave the filter element 20 under the action of gravity, improving the cleaning efficiency of the filter element 20.

[0063] In some embodiments, a guiding groove 411 is formed in the guiding portion 41. An included angle is formed between the extending direction of the guiding groove 411 and the height direction. At least a part of the filter element 20 is received in the guiding groove 411, and the filter element 20 can move relative to the guiding groove 411. The inner wall of the guiding groove 411 is adapted to restrict the outer peripheral wall of the filter element 20, so that the filter element 20 can move stably.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a support plate 40 is arranged inside the fresh air housing 10. The support plate 40 divides the inside of the fresh air housing 10 into an inner cavity 111 and an outer cavity 112. A through hole 42 communicating the inner cavity 111 and the outer cavity 112 is formed on the support plate 40. The guiding portion 41 is arranged on the support plate 40 and is orthogonal to the orientation of the through hole 42. The filter element 20 moves relative to the guiding portion 41 to selectively cover the through hole 42.

[0065] It can be understood that a through hole 42 is formed on the support plate 40. The airflow accelerated by the air wheel 121 can pass through the inner cavity 111, the through hole 42, the outer cavity 112 in sequence and then be discharged from the fresh air outlet 113. The filter element 20 covering the through hole 42 enables the airflow discharged from the fresh air outlet 113 to be completely cleaned by the filter element 20. At the same time, the support plate 40 can be used to support the filter element 20 and the support plate 40 can be used to arrange the guiding portion 41, making the function of the support plate 40 more abundant. It is worth mentioning that the guiding portion 41 and the support plate 40 are integrally formed, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the fresh air assembly 100.

[0066] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fresh air component 100 further includes: a first driving member 51, the first driving member 51 is disposed in the fresh air housing 10 and the output end of the first driving member 51 is connected to the filter element 20 to drive the filter element 20 to move. It can be understood that when cleaning the filter element 20, the cleaning medium flows out from the cleaning member 30 through the cleaning outlet 31, and the first driving member 51 can drive the filter element 20 to move, so as to clean the filter element 20 during the movement of the filter element 20, improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 20. At the same time, by setting the first driving member 51 to drive the filter element 20 to move, the fresh air component 100 can automatically clean the filter element 20, making the fresh air component 100 more intelligent, and thus making the air conditioner 1000 more intelligent, which can improve the user experience.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a driving gear 52 is provided at the output end of the first driving member 51; the filter element 20 includes: a filter element body 21 and a bracket 22, the bracket 22 is disposed on the outer periphery of the filter element body 21 and a rack 221 meshing with the driving gear 52 is provided on the bracket 22.

[0068] It can be understood that a driving gear 52 is provided at the output end of the first driving member 51, a rack 221 is provided on the bracket 22, the rack 221 meshes with the driving gear 52, when the first driving member 51 works, the output end can rotate, the rotation of the output end can drive the driving gear 52 to rotate, the rotation of the driving gear 52 can drive the rack 221 to move to make the bracket 22 move, and the filter element body 21 follows the bracket 22 to move. The cleaning member 30 is adapted to clean the filter element body 21 during the movement of the filter element 20. It should be noted that a rotating rod 53 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 51, driving gears 52 are respectively provided at both ends of the rotating rod 53, and two racks 221 corresponding to the driving gears 52 are provided on the bracket 22. Thus, the first driving member 51 can form driving forces at both ends of the filter element 20, making the filter element 20 more balanced in force and improving the movement stability of the filter element 20.

[0069] In some embodiments, the moving direction of the filter element 20 is parallel to the length direction of the filter element 20, the filter element body 21 cleans the air flow by means of electrostatic adsorption, the filter element body 21 is electrically connected to the bracket 22, conductive sheets 223 are respectively provided at both ends of the bracket 22 in the width direction of the filter element 20, and a plurality of conductive elastic sheets 224 are provided on the inner wall of the fresh air housing 10. The plurality of conductive elastic sheets 224 are respectively electrically connected to an external power supply, and the plurality of conductive elastic sheets 224 respectively abut against the conductive sheets 223 at both ends of the bracket 22 so that the external power supply can stably supply power to the filter element body 21, thereby enabling the filter element body 21 to work stably.

[0070] It should be noted that a through hole penetrating the bracket 22 in the thickness direction is provided at the bottom of the rack 221. Thus, the cleaning medium remaining at the bottom of the rack 221 can be discharged through the through hole, preventing the cleaning medium from remaining in the bracket 22, thereby avoiding a short circuit during the operation of the filter element 20 and improving the electrical safety factor of the fresh air assembly 100.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a water leakage hole 222 is formed on the bracket 22 at the bottom of the filter element body 21. In some embodiments, the bracket 22 is formed with a mounting hole penetrating in the thickness direction, and a recess extending away from the mounting hole is formed on the inner wall of the mounting hole. At least a part of the outer periphery of the filter element body 21 is received in the recess to dispose the filter element body 21 on the mounting portion. The water leakage hole 222 communicates with the recess. The cleaning medium passing through the filter element body 21 may flow along the filter element body 21 to the recess, and the water leakage hole 222 can discharge the cleaning medium remaining in the recess, avoiding a short circuit during the operation of the filter element 20.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fresh air assembly 100 further includes: a water tank 61 disposed outside the fresh air housing 10 and connected to the cleaning member 30. A water outlet cavity for storing the cleaning medium is provided in the water tank 61, and the cleaning medium in the water outlet cavity can enter the cleaning member 30 and be discharged through the cleaning outlet 31.

[0073] In some embodiments, the moving direction of the filter element 20 is parallel to the length direction of the filter element 20. The cleaning member 30 is configured as a spray pipe, the extending direction of the spray pipe is parallel to the width direction of the filter element 20, and a plurality of cleaning outlets 31 are spaced apart in the extending direction of the spray pipe itself. A water pump 62 is further provided between the water tank 61 and the spray pipe. The water pump 62 is adapted to pump the cleaning medium in the water tank 61 into the spray pipe, and the cleaning medium pumped into the spray pipe can be discharged through the plurality of cleaning outlets 31.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a water receiving shell 13 is formed outside the fresh air housing 10. The water receiving shell 13 is formed with a water outlet groove 131 communicating with the inside of the fresh air housing 10 to store the cleaning medium. It can be understood that after the cleaning medium passes through the filter element 20 and cleans the filter element 20, the cleaning medium can enter the water outlet groove 131. In some embodiments, a drain port 132 is provided at the bottom of the water receiving shell 13, and the drain port 132 communicates with the water outlet groove 131. The cleaning medium entering the water outlet groove 131 can be discharged through the drain port 132.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a support plate 40 is disposed inside the fresh air housing 10. The support plate 40 divides the interior of the fresh air housing 10 into an inner cavity 111 and an outer cavity 112. A water storage tank 43 for receiving the cleaning medium is formed at the bottom of the support plate 40. A first water outlet 14 is formed on the fresh air housing 10 to communicate the water storage tank 43 with the water outlet tank 131. In some embodiments, a water storage tank 43 is disposed at one end of the support plate 40 away from the guiding portion 41. After the cleaning medium passes through the filter element 20 and cleans the filter element 20, the cleaning medium can enter the water storage tank 43 and be discharged outside the fresh air housing 10 through the first water outlet 14. Finally, the cleaning medium discharged outside the fresh air housing 10 can enter the water outlet tank 131 and be discharged through the drain port 132.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a second water outlet 15 is provided on the fresh air housing 10 to communicate the inner cavity 111 with the water outlet tank 131. It can be understood that after the cleaning medium finishes cleaning the filter element 20, a part of the cleaning medium will adhere to the filter element 20. Since the filter element 20 is inclined relative to the direction of gravity, this cleaning medium will flow along the filter element 20 to the water outlet tank 131 under the action of gravity and be discharged outside the fresh air housing 10 through the first water outlet 14. Another part of the cleaning medium will pass through the filter element 20 and enter the inner cavity 111. The second water outlet 15 can discharge the cleaning medium entering the inner cavity 111 outside the fresh air housing 10 to prevent the cleaning medium from accumulating inside the fresh air housing 10.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fresh air assembly 100 further includes: a wind guiding plate rotatably disposed in the inner cavity 111 to switch between a wind guiding state and a water blocking state; in the water blocking state, the wind guiding plate rotates to face the filter element 20 and is adapted to guide the cleaning medium dripping from the filter element 20 to the second water outlet 15.

[0078] It can be understood that in the wind guiding state, the wind guiding plate rotates to a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the filter element 20. At this time, the air flow can pass through the wind guiding plate to the greatest extent and enter the outer cavity 112 from the inner cavity 111. In the water blocking state, the wind guiding plate rotates to a direction parallel to the moving direction of the filter element 20. At this time, the wind guiding plate faces the filter element 20, and the cleaning medium passing through the filter element 20 can drip onto the wind guiding plate. The wind guiding plate is adapted to guide the cleaning medium dripping onto the wind guiding plate to the second water outlet 15 and discharge it outside the fresh air housing 10. It is worth noting that an electrical component is disposed in the inner cavity 111. Therefore, by providing the wind guiding plate, it is possible to prevent the cleaning medium passing through the filter element 20 from dripping onto the electrical component or the wind wheel 121, thereby preventing the electrical component from being short-circuited due to the cleaning medium or preventing the cleaning medium from affecting the normal operation of the wind wheel 121, and improving the electrical safety factor of the fresh air assembly 100.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fresh air component 100 further includes: a water receiving plate 80, on which a diversion wall 81 is formed, the upper end of the diversion wall 81 is directly opposite to the lower end of the air guiding plate in the water blocking state, and the lower end of the diversion wall 81 extends to the second water outlet 15.

[0080] In some embodiments, the cleaning medium dripping onto the air guiding plate will flow towards the lower end of the air guiding plate under the action of gravity. The water receiving plate 80, the diversion wall 81 and the inner wall of the inner cavity 111 jointly define a water receiving groove, and the water receiving groove is externally communicated with the outside of the fresh air housing 10 through the second water outlet 15. The upper end of the diversion wall 81 is directly opposite to the lower end of the air guiding plate in the water blocking state, that is, when the air guiding plate is in the water blocking state, at least part of the projection of the lower end of the air guiding plate in height is located in the water receiving groove. Thus, the cleaning medium dripping onto the air guiding plate can be guided by the air guiding plate into the water receiving groove and discharged through the second water outlet 15.

[0081] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air guiding plate includes: a dividing plate 71 and a linkage member 72. The dividing plates 71 are configured in multiple numbers, and the multiple dividing plates 71 are respectively rotatably arranged in the inner cavity 111 and are spaced apart in the inclined direction of the filter element 20. The linkage member 72 is respectively connected to the multiple dividing plates 71 to drive the multiple dividing plates 71 to rotate synchronously.

[0082] In some embodiments, the inclined direction of the filter element 20 is parallel to the moving direction of the filter element 20. The multiple dividing plates 71 are respectively rotatably arranged in the inner cavity 111, and the multiple dividing plates 71 are spaced apart in the moving direction of the filter element 20. When the air guiding plate is in the air guiding state, the multiple dividing plates 71 respectively rotate to a direction where their extending directions are perpendicular to the moving direction of the filter element 20. At this time, the air flow can enter the outer cavity 112 from the inner cavity 111 through the gaps between the multiple dividing plates 71; when the air guiding plate is in the water blocking state, the multiple dividing plates 71 respectively rotate to face the filter element 20, and among two adjacent dividing plates 71, the lower end of the upper dividing plate 71 overlaps the upper end of the lower dividing plate 71, thereby preventing the cleaning medium from continuing to drip towards the inner cavity 111 through the gap between two adjacent dividing plates 71. The linkage member 72 is connected to the multiple dividing plates 71 to enable the multiple dividing plates 71 to be linked. Thus, when one of the dividing plates 71 rotates, it can drive the remaining dividing plates 71 to rotate together through the linkage member 72, making the control of the dividing plates 71 simpler.

[0083] It should be noted that a second driving member 73 is further provided in the inner cavity 111, and the driving end of the second driving member 73 is connected to one of the dividing plates 71. Thus, the second driving member 73 can drive the connected dividing plate 71 to rotate, and under the action of the linkage member 72, the remaining dividing plates 71 rotate accordingly. That is, the second driving member 73 can drive the multiple dividing plates 71 to rotate together, making the control of the air guiding plate more intelligent, and thus making the fresh air component 100 more intelligent.

[0084] In some embodiments, hemming edges 711 are provided at both ends of each sub-board 71. The hemming edges 711 can prevent the cleaning medium dripping onto the sub-board 71 from flowing out of both ends of the sub-board 71, so that the cleaning medium can stably flow into the water receiving tank and be discharged from the second water outlet 15.

[0085] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the fresh air housing 10 includes: an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. The upper housing 11 is formed with a fresh air outlet 113. The filter element 20 and the cleaning element 30 are disposed inside the upper housing 11. The lower housing 12 is connected to the upper housing 11 and is formed with a fresh air inlet. A wind wheel cavity 122 adapted to accommodate the wind wheel 121 is formed inside the lower housing 12.

[0086] In some embodiments, the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 are connected in the height direction to form the fresh air housing 10. The filter element 20 and the cleaning element 30 are disposed inside the upper housing 11. A wind wheel cavity 122 for accommodating the wind wheel 121 is disposed inside the lower housing 12. The air flow entering from the fresh air inlet can be accelerated by the wind wheel 121 and discharged from the wind wheel cavity 122. The air flow discharged from the wind wheel cavity 122 can pass through the filter element 20 and then be discharged outside the fresh air housing 10 through the fresh air outlet 113. The filter element 20 is adapted to adsorb dust in the air flow to make the air flow discharged from the fresh air assembly 100 cleaner. At the same time, the cleaning element 30 inside the upper housing 11 can clean the filter element 20, avoiding the user manually cleaning the filter element 20 and improving the user experience.

[0087] In some embodiments, the fresh air assembly 100 is further provided with a monitoring module. The monitoring module can detect the running time of the fresh air assembly 100. When the detection module detects that the fresh air assembly 100 runs to the specified time, the monitoring module can display or issue an alarm to remind the user to clean the filter element 20. It is worth mentioning that the fresh air assembly 100 is further provided with a control component. The control component is provided with a start button and the control component can be communicatively connected to the remote control. The user can control the control component to start by pressing the start button or pressing the remote control. The control component can control the cleaning element 30 to spray the cleaning medium and control the movement of the filter element 20 to clean the filter element 20.

[0088] It should be noted that after the filter element 20 is cleaned, the wind wheel 121 can operate normally to allow the air flow to pass through the filter element 20. At this time, the control component controls the filter element 20 to prevent the filter element 20 from working normally. At this time, the air flow is suitable for drying the water on the filter element 20, avoiding water remaining on the filter element 20 and causing the filter element 20 to short-circuit, and improving the electrical safety factor of the fresh air assembly 100.
