Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner equipped with a negative ion generator. Background Art

[0002] A negative ion generator is a device that can generate negative ions in the air. The negative ions generated by the negative ion generator will combine with suspended matter in the air, causing the suspended matter to be negatively charged, aggregate into clumps, and finally fall to the ground, thereby achieving the effect of purifying polluted air. However, due to the limitation of the diffusion range of negative ions, it is difficult for existing negative ion devices to independently complete a large range of air purification in a short period of time. It still needs to be used in combination with an air supply device and a filter element. However, the use of an air supply device will reduce the concentration of indoor negative ions and weaken the aggregation effect of negative ions on particulate pollutants. Blindly increasing the concentration of indoor negative ions will have certain adverse effects on the human body. Therefore, how to make more effective use of the air purification function of negative ions is a technical problem that needs to be solved in technical fields such as air conditioning and fresh air systems. Summary of the invention

[0033] The air conditioner with a negative ion generator provided in this embodiment is provided with a negative ion generator 23 on the cyclone dust collector 20 according to the principle that negative ions can condense pollutant particles and make them settle, and releases negative ions into the cyclone dust collector 20. The limited space of the cyclone dust collector 20 enables it to have a sufficient concentration of negative ions, so that the negative ions can gather the particulate pollutants entering it, and through the action of the cyclone dust collector 20, the gathered particles fall into the ash hopper 24 after hitting its inner wall. This design combines the effects of negative ions and the cyclone dust collector 20, and can obtain a better dust removal effect. At the same time, the pre-dust removal effect of the cyclone dust collector 20 can reduce the burden of its downstream filter element 40 and extend the service life of the filter element 40. Moreover, after the cyclone dust collector 20 dust removal and the filter element 40 filtering, the negative ions can still be released to the outside with the airflow, continuing its function of improving the outside air.

[0034] It is worth noting that in the air conditioner equipped with a negative ion generator provided in the present embodiment, the flow of air can be achieved by setting structures such as air supply devices, exhaust fans, fans, etc. in the prior art on structures such as the air inlet pipe 21, the air outlet pipe 22, and the air outlet 311. In other embodiments, a cooling structure for cooling can also be set on structures such as the air inlet pipe 21, the air outlet pipe 22, and the air outlet 311 of the cyclone dust collector 20, such as a coil filled with refrigerant, or a heating device, so that the air conditioner can provide cold air or hot air to the outside world. The structures and principles of the air supply device, exhaust fan, fan, and refrigeration and heating devices in the air conditioner are all prior art and will not be repeated here. Of course, other structures can also be added without affecting the effect of the scheme of this embodiment.

[0035] In the air conditioner provided in this embodiment with a negative ion generator, the cyclone dust collector 20 can be selected as follows: Figure 1 The cyclone dust collector 20 of the type shown may also be other existing ones, such as a multi-tube cyclone dust collector, an inclined cyclone dust collector, a cyclone diffusion dust collector, a double cone cyclone dust collector, etc., which are not limited here.

One side of the storage cabinet 30 is connected to the air outlet pipe 22, and an air outlet 311 is provided on the other side of the storage cabinet 30 opposite to the air outlet pipe 22.

[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a bottom plate 32 is vertically arranged at the bottom of the cabinet door 31, and the bottom plate 32 extends toward the interior of the storage cabinet 30. The bottom of the cabinet door 31 is rotationally connected to the storage cabinet 30 through hinges and other structures. This design enables the filter element 40 to be placed on the bottom plate 32, and the filter element 40 can lie on the cabinet door 31 when the cabinet door 31 is opened, so that the user can take it in and out.

[0039] In this embodiment, a chamber for airflow dispersion is provided in the storage cabinet 30, and the chamber is connected to the air outlet pipe 22, so that the airflow discharged from the air outlet pipe 22 can enter the filter element 40 through the chamber in a dispersed manner. Specifically, the chamber is formed by the gap between the filter element 40 and the side wall of the storage cabinet 30. As a more preferred solution, a baffle 34 is provided in the chamber, and the baffle 34 can be arranged on the four adjacent side walls of the air conditioner housing 10 where the side wall of the air outlet pipe 22 is located, and the number is not less than one. The baffle 34 can limit the position of the filter element 40 by abutting to prevent the filter element 40 from falling into the chamber.

When the cabinet door 31 needs to be opened, the cabinet door 31 can be opened by simply pulling the end of the card block 332 away from the cabinet door 31 so that the wedge-shaped end of the card block 332 is separated from the cabinet door 31.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, other methods may also be used to position the closed state of the cabinet door 31, which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] Note: For the fixed connection methods described in this article, unless otherwise specified, existing fixed connection methods such as threaded connection, welding, and bonding can be used.
