[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the left and right inner walls of the body 1 are provided with slide grooves, and the left and right sides of the first filter plate 4 are fixedly installed with sliders. The first filter plate 4 absorbs mostly floating objects in the body 1, that is, the first filter plate 4 is easily blocked. When blockage occurs, the first filter plate 4 is taken out along the two slide grooves and replaced with a new first filter plate 4 for use.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the two sliders and the two slide grooves are both configured to be slideway connected, and a delivery pipe is fixedly connected between the first filter plate 4 and the second filter plate 5. After the first filter plate 4 completes adsorption, the condensed water enters the second filter plate 5 through the delivery pipe, and the ceramsite inside the second filter plate 5 recovers the impurities in the condensed water.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interior of the first filter plate 4 is filled with quartz sand, and the interior of the second filter plate 5 is filled with ceramsite. The first filter plate 4 performs the first adsorption on the condensed water to recover the floating objects in the condensed water, and the ceramsite inside the second filter plate 5 recovers the impurities in the condensed water.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the left side of the water pump 707 is fixedly connected to the water tank 702 through the through hole 706, and a protective box is fixedly installed on the outside of the motor 703.

The protective box protects the motor 703 from being soaked by the condensed water, and the rotating shaft 704 is rotatably connected to the protective plate through a bearing.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the right side of the connecting pipe 708 passes through the disinfection box 701 and extends to the outside of the disinfection box 701. The top of the connecting pipe 708 is fixedly connected to the right side of the wet film 709. The condensed water after disinfection and purification enters the wet film 709 through the connecting pipe 708. When the evaporator 2 is started, humid air can be blown out to prevent the room from drying out.

[0029] When implementing, follow these steps:

[0030] 1) First, condense water at the condensation point of the evaporator 2, and the condensed water enters the first filter plate 4 through the outlet pipe 3;

[0031] 2) The condensed water is then initially filtered inside the first filter plate 4 and the second filter plate 5;

[0032] 3) After the initial filtration, the water enters the drain pipe 6 and enters the water tank 702, where it is disinfected by the rotation of the two activated carbon plates 705;

[0033] 4) Finally, the water pump 707 pumps the condensed water after disinfection into the wet film 709, so that the wind blown out by the evaporator 2 is humid wind.

[0034] In summary, the condensate water recovery and energy-saving mechanism of the air conditioner indoor unit is provided with a disinfection structure 7. When the condensate water flows out from the inside of the body 1, the condensate water enters the water tank 702, and then the motor 703 is started, and the motor 703 drives the rotating shaft 704 to rotate, and drives the two activated carbon plates 705 to rotate, so as to disinfect and purify the condensate water. Then, the water pump 707 is started, and the water pump 707 extracts the disinfected condensate water into the connecting pipe 708 through the through hole 706. The water pump 707 presses the condensate water in the connecting pipe 708 to the inside of the wet film 709, thereby completing the condensate water recovery and energy-saving mechanism. The air conditioner has a disinfection and purification function. The condensed water recovery and energy-saving mechanism of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is provided with a water outlet pipe 3. When the air conditioner is used, condensed water is condensed at the evaporator 2. The condensed water enters the first filter plate 4 through the water outlet pipe 3. The first filter plate 4 adsorbs the condensed water for the first time and recovers the floating objects in the condensed water. Then the condensed water enters the second filter plate 5 through the delivery pipe. The ceramsite inside the second filter plate 5 recovers the impurities in the condensed water. Then the condensed water without impurities enters the drain pipe 6 for disinfection and purification, thereby completing the initial filtration of the condensed water by the air conditioner.
