[0043] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, in which the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions from beginning to end. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0044] The sterilization component 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0045] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the sterilization component 1 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a housing 10 and a sterilizing member 20.

[0046] The housing 10 includes a first housing 11 and a second housing 12. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are oppositely arranged in a first direction and are detachably connected to jointly define an accommodation cavity 101. At least one of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 has a through hole 13 communicating with the accommodation cavity 101, and the sterilizing member 20 is disposed in the accommodation cavity 101.

[0047] The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are detachably connected to facilitate the installation of the sterilization member 20 into the accommodation cavity 101 or the removal of the sterilization member 20 from the accommodation cavity 101. The sterilization substances generated by the sterilization member 20, such as light or sterilization ions, can reach the designated area from the through hole 13 to sterilize the designated area or the articles in the designated area.

[0048] Wherein, the first housing 11 has a first mating surface 111 on one side in the first direction, the second housing 12 has a second mating surface 121 on one side in the first direction, and the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 are disposed opposite and in contact with each other in the first direction. Specifically, when the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 are disposed opposite and in contact with each other in the first direction, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are installed in place, which can make the cooperation between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 more compact, so as to avoid the overlap of the wall of the first housing 11 and the wall of the second housing 12 in the wall thickness direction, or reduce the overlap range of the wall of the first housing 11 and the wall of the second housing 12 in the wall thickness direction, so as to define a larger accommodation cavity 101 or reduce the size of the outer shell 10 when the volume of the accommodation cavity 101 remains unchanged.

[0049] In the embodiment where the sterilization assembly 1 is applied to an air conditioner, the sterilization assembly 1 is located between the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72. The space between the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72 is small. By reducing the size of the outer shell 10, the distance between the sterilization assembly 1 and the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72 can be increased, so as to facilitate the installation of the sterilization assembly 1 between the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72 and reduce the possibility of collision between the sterilization assembly 1 and the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72.

[0050] Therefore, the sterilization assembly 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has the advantage of making the cooperation between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 more compact, which is convenient for reducing the size of the outer shell 10 when the volume of the accommodation cavity 101 remains unchanged, so as to overcome the limitation of the installation space, conveniently install the sterilization assembly 1 between the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72, and reduce the possibility of collision between the sterilization assembly 1 and the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72.

[0051] Next, the sterilization assembly 1 according to the specific embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 1 - 3 shown, the sterilization assembly 1 includes an outer shell 10 and a sterilization member 20.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 、 Figure 4As shown, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are detachably connected by a snap-fit structure to facilitate the installation or disassembly of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and thus facilitate the installation of the sterilization member 20 into the accommodation cavity 101 or the removal of the sterilization member 20 from the accommodation cavity 101.

[0054] Wherein, the snap-fit structure is disposed near the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 to connect the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 from the edges of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 by using the snap-fit structure. Thus, when the snap-fit structure connects the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 are more closely attached to firmly connect the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, at least one snap-fit structure is a first snap-fit structure 31. The first snap-fit structure 31 includes a first snap 312 and a first snap hole 311 that are snap-fitted. The first snap hole 311 is provided in the first housing 11, and the first snap 312 is provided in the second housing 12 and is disposed near the second mating surface 121.

[0056] Wherein, when the second housing 12 moves relative to the first housing 11 in the first direction, the first snap 312 gradually extends into the first snap hole 311. When the first snap 312 is snap-fitted with the edge of the first snap hole 311 and the second mating surface 121 is attached to the first mating surface 111, the first snap-fit structure 31 connects the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the first mating surface 111 is a flat surface. A first groove portion 112 is provided on the first mating surface 111. The first groove portion 112 extends in the first direction, and the opening of the first groove portion 112 facing away from the second housing 12 is communicated with the first snap hole 311.

[0058] Wherein, when the second housing 12 moves relative to the first housing 11 in the first direction, the first snap 312 first extends into the first groove portion 112. The first groove portion 112 can limit the moving direction of the first snap 312. When the first snap 312 moves along the first groove portion 112 into the first snap hole 311, the first snap 312 is snap-fitted with the edge of the first snap hole 311 to realize the connection between the first snap 312 and the first snap hole 311, and thus connect the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 6As shown, the first buckle 312 is provided on the second housing 12 through the first connecting arm 313. The first connecting arm 313 extends along the first direction. The first buckle 312 is provided at one end of the first connecting arm 313 away from the second housing 12. When the second housing 12 moves relative to the first housing 11 along the first direction and the first buckle 312 contacts the wall of the first housing 11, the first connecting arm 313 is deformed in a direction away from the first card hole 311 under the action of force. When the first buckle 312 is moved into the first card hole 311, the first connecting arm 313 resumes deformation and drives the first buckle 312 to be in snap-fit with the edge of the first card hole 311.

[0060] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 5 shown, the through hole 13 includes a first through hole 131, and the first through hole 131 is provided in the first housing 11. The first card hole 311 is communicated with the first through hole 131 and is located at a position of the first through hole 131 close to the first mating surface 111. The sterilizing substance generated by the sterilizing member 20, such as light or sterilizing ions, can reach the designated area through the first through hole 131 to sterilize the articles in the designated area.

[0061] Specifically, by making the first card hole 311 communicate with the first through hole 131, it is convenient to simultaneously machine the first card hole 311 and the first through hole 131 when manufacturing the first housing 11, which is convenient for reducing the machining steps and the machining difficulty.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, as Figures 4 - 6 shown, at least one snap-fit structure is a second snap-fit structure. The second snap-fit structure includes a second buckle 321 and a second card hole 322 that are in snap-fit. The second buckle 321 is provided on the first housing 11 and is arranged close to the first mating surface 111, and the second card hole 322 is provided in the second housing 12.

[0063] Wherein, when the first housing 11 moves relative to the second housing 12 along the first direction, the second buckle 321 gradually extends into the second card hole 322. When the second buckle 321 is in snap-fit with the edge of the second card hole 322 and the second mating surface 121 is attached to the first mating surface 111, the second snap-fit structure connects the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the second mating surface 121 is a plane, and a second groove portion 122 is provided on the second mating surface 121. The second groove portion 122 extends along the first direction, and the opening of the second groove portion 122 facing away from the first housing 11 is communicated with the second card hole 322.

[0065] Wherein, when the first housing 11 moves relative to the second housing 12 in the first direction, the second buckle 321 first extends into the second groove 122, and the second groove 122 can limit the moving direction of the second buckle 321. When the second buckle 321 moves along the second groove 122 into the second locking hole 322, the edge of the second buckle 321 is clamped and matched with the edge of the second locking hole 322, so as to realize the connection between the second buckle 321 and the second locking hole 322, and further fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the second buckle 321 is arranged on the first housing 11 through the second connecting arm 323. The second connecting arm 323 extends along the first direction, and the second buckle 321 is arranged at one end of the second connecting arm 323 away from the first housing 11. When the first housing 11 moves relative to the second housing 12 in the first direction and the second buckle 321 contacts the wall of the second housing 12, the second connecting arm 323 is deformed in a direction away from the second locking hole 322 under the action of force. When the second buckle 321 is moved into the second locking hole 322, the second connecting arm 323 recovers its deformation and drives the second buckle 321 to be clamped and matched with the edge of the second locking hole 322.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the through hole 13 includes a second through hole 132, and the second through hole 132 is arranged on the second housing 12. The second locking hole 322 is communicated with the second through hole 132 and is located at a position of the second through hole 132 close to the second mating surface 121. The sterilizing substance generated by the sterilizing member 20, such as light or sterilizing ions, can reach the designated area through the second through hole 132 to sterilize the articles in the designated area.

[0068] Specifically, the second locking hole 322 is communicated with the second through hole 132, so that when the second housing 12 is processed and manufactured, it is convenient to process the second locking hole 322 and the second through hole 132 at the same time, which is convenient for reducing the processing steps and the processing difficulty.

[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the number of the first clamping structure 31 and the second clamping structure is equal and the structures are the same. When connecting the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, the clamping and matching between the first locking hole 311 and the first buckle 312 can be realized at the same time, and the clamping and matching between the second locking hole 322 and the second buckle 321 can be realized, which is convenient for reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation efficiency, so as to connect the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0070] Among them, a first card hole 311 and a second buckle 321 are provided on the first housing 11. The second buckle 321 is arranged close to the first mating surface 111 of the first housing 11. A first buckle 312 and a second card hole 322 are provided on the second housing 12. The first buckle 312 is arranged close to the second mating surface 121 of the second housing 12.

[0071] The first card hole 311 and the first buckle 312 correspond to each other in the first direction. The second buckle 321 and the second card hole 322 correspond to each other in the first direction. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are buckled and connected together in the first direction, the first buckle 312 extends into the first card hole 311 and is in snap-fit with the edge of the first card hole 311. The second buckle 321 extends into the second card hole 322 and is in snap-fit with the edge of the second card hole 322, so as to simultaneously realize the snap-fit of the first card hole 311 and the first buckle 312, and realize the snap-fit of the second buckle 321 and the second card hole 322. Furthermore, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are fixedly connected together by using the first snap-fit structure 31 and the second snap-fit structure.

[0072] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, the number of the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 is at least two. The two first mating surfaces 111 and the two second mating surfaces 121 are oppositely arranged in the second direction. The second direction is arranged at an angle with the first direction.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first snap-fit structure 31 is arranged close to one of the first mating surface 111 / the second mating surface 121, and the second snap-fit structure is arranged close to the other first mating surface 111 / the second mating surface 121. That is to say, the first snap-fit structure 31 and the second snap-fit structure are located on both sides of the second direction of the housing 10, so as to connect the edges on both sides of the second direction of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 by using the first snap-fit structure 31 and the second snap-fit structure, and further fixedly connect the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0074] In some examples, as Figure 3 shown, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a cylindrical accommodation cavity 101.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 shown, the number of the second clamping structures is multiple, and a plurality of second clamping structures are arranged at intervals in the extending direction of another first mating surface 111 / second mating surface 121, so as to fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 from the edges of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and limit the relative movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing along the extending direction of the first mating surface 111 / second mating surface 121.

[0085] Wherein, the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 can be planes or arc surfaces, and no excessive limitation is made herein.

[0086] In some examples, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a cylindrical accommodation cavity 101. The length directions of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 extend along the axial direction of the accommodation cavity 101. The first housing 11 has two first mating surfaces 111, and these two first mating surfaces 111 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. The second housing 12 has two second mating surfaces 121, and these two second mating surfaces 121 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction. The first mating surface 111 extends along the length direction of the first housing 11, and the second mating surface 121 extends along the length direction of the second housing 12.

[0087] For the convenience of description, it is herein referred to that the outer shell 10 includes a first side and a second side in the second direction.

Specifically, the second buckle 321 is arranged on the first housing 11 and close to the first mating surface 111 on the second side of the first housing 11, and a plurality of second buckles 321 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the first mating surface 111.

[0088] The second clamping hole 322 is arranged on the second housing 12, and the hole edge on the second side of the second clamping hole 322 is close to the second mating surface 121 on the second side of the second housing 12. A plurality of second clamping holes 322 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the second mating surface 121. Each second clamping hole 322 and the second buckle 321 correspond to each other one by one in the first direction. When the first housing 11 or the second housing 12 is moved in the first direction, a plurality of second buckles 321 extend into the second clamping holes 322 one by one and are clamped and matched with the hole edge on the second side of the second clamping hole 322 to fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0089] In other examples, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a spherical, ellipsoidal or cylindrical accommodation cavity 101. The projection of the first mating surface 111 in the first direction is an annular shape, and the projection of the second mating surface 121 in the first direction is an annular shape. A plurality of second clamping holes 322 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the circle, and a plurality of second buckles 321 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the circle.

[0090] In some alternative embodiments of the present utility model, the length directions of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 both extend along a third direction, and the third direction is arranged at an angle with the first direction.

[0091] Wherein, the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 respectively extend from one end to the other end of the length direction of the corresponding housing. The number of the clamping structures is multiple, and at least a part of the clamping structures are arranged at intervals in the second direction to fix the two ends of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 in the second direction, thereby fixedly connecting the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together and preventing the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 from moving relatively in the second direction.

[0092] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are detachably connected by a connecting structure, and the connecting structure is located at one end of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 along the third direction, so as to fix one end of the first housing 11 along the third direction and one end of the second housing 12 along the third direction together, and further fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 more firmly together, reducing the possibility of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 detaching.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 shown, at least one connecting structure is a first connecting structure, and the first connecting structure includes a first convex 411 and a first slot 412 that are snap-fitted. The first convex 411 is provided on the first housing 11 and the first slot 412 is provided on the second housing 12. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are installed together along the first direction, the first convex 411 extends into the first slot 412 and is snap-fitted with the first slot 412, so as to fix one end of the first housing 11 in the third direction and one end of the second housing 12 in the third direction together.

[0094] In some examples, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, the second housing 12 is provided with a first connecting lug 413 at one end in the third direction, the first slot 412 penetrates through the first connecting lug 413, the first housing 11 is provided with a first convex 411 at one end in the third direction, and the first convex 411 has a first guiding surface 4111 on the side facing the second housing 12 in the first direction. The first guiding surface 4111 extends towards the second housing 12 and away from the first connecting lug 413.

[0095] When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are installed together along the first direction, the first guiding surface 4111 is slidably engaged with the first connecting lug 413 and has a force on the first connecting lug 413, causing the first connecting lug 413 to deform in the third direction away from the first convex 411. When the first convex 411 completely enters the first slot 412, the first connecting lug 413 recovers its deformation and is snap-fitted with the wall surface of the first convex 411 facing away from the second housing 12 in the first direction, so as to fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, at least one connecting structure is a second connecting structure. The second connecting structure includes a second convex 422 and a second slot 421 that are snap-fitted. The second convex 422 is provided on the second housing 12 and the second slot 421 is provided on the first housing 11. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are assembled together in the first direction, the second convex 422 extends into the second slot 421 and is snap-fitted with the second slot 421 to fix one end of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together in the third direction.

[0097] In some examples, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 shown, one end of the first housing 11 in the third direction is provided with a second connecting lug 423. The second slot 421 penetrates through the second connecting lug 423. One end of the second housing 12 in the third direction is provided with a second convex 422. The second convex 422 has a second guiding surface 4221 on the side facing the first housing 11 in the first direction. The second guiding surface 4221 extends towards the first housing 11 and away from the second connecting lug 423.

[0098] When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are assembled together in the first direction, the second guiding surface 4221 is slidably engaged with the second connecting lug 423 and exerts a force on the second connecting lug 423, causing the second connecting lug 423 to deform in the third direction away from the second convex 422. When the second convex 422 completely enters the second slot 421, the second connecting lug 423 returns to its original shape and is snap-fitted with the wall surface of the second convex 422 facing away from the first housing 11 in the first direction to fix the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 together.

[0099] In some examples, as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a cylindrical receiving cavity 101. The third direction extends along the axial direction of the receiving cavity 101. The first connecting structure and the second connecting structure are located on both sides of the outer shell 10 in the second direction to firmly fix one end of the first housing 11 in the third direction and one end of the second housing 12 in the third direction together and restrict the relative movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 in the second direction.

[0100] Here, it is said that the outer shell 10 includes a first side and a second side in the second direction. The first connecting structure is located on the second side of the outer shell 10, and the second connecting structure is provided on the first side of the outer shell 10.

[0101] Specifically, the first card projection 411 is located on the second side of the first housing 11, the first card slot 412 is located on the second side of the second housing 12, and the first card projection 411 and the first card slot 412 correspond to each other in the first direction. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are installed together in the first direction, the first card projection 411 can extend into the first card slot 412 to be engaged and cooperate with the first card slot 412.

[0102] The second card slot 421 is located on the first side of the first housing 11, the second card projection 422 is located on the first side of the second housing 12, and the second card slot 421 and the second card projection 422 correspond to each other in the first direction. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are installed together in the first direction, the second card projection 422 can extend into the second card slot 421 to be engaged and cooperate with the second card slot 421.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, one of the first mating surface 111 and the second mating surface 121 is provided with a positioning convex portion 511 and the other is provided with a positioning groove 512. The positioning convex portion 511 is adapted to be inserted into the positioning groove 512 in the first direction to limit the relative movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 by the cooperation of the positioning convex portion 511 and the positioning groove 512.

[0104] In some embodiments, the positioning convex portion 511 extends into the positioning groove 512. When the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 tend to move in the second direction, the positioning convex portion 511 abuts against the side wall of the positioning groove 512 in the second direction to limit the movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 in the second direction, thereby preventing the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 from being disconnected.

[0105] In some examples, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a cylindrical accommodation cavity 101. The length direction of the first housing 11 extends along the axial direction of the accommodation cavity 101, and the length direction of the second housing 12 extends along the axial direction of the accommodation cavity 101. The first mating surfaces 111 are provided on both sides of the first housing 11 in the second direction. The first mating surface 111 is a plane and extends along the length direction of the first housing 11. The second mating surfaces 121 are provided on both sides of the second housing 12 in the second direction. The second mating surface 121 is a plane and extends along the length direction of the second housing 12.

[0106] Here, it is said that the outer shell 10 includes a first side and a second side in the second direction. The first connection structure is located on the second side of the outer shell 10, and the second connection structure is provided on the first side of the outer shell 10.

[0107] As Figures 5 - 7As shown in the figure, a plurality of positioning grooves 512 are provided on the first mating surface 111 on the first side of the first housing 11. The plurality of positioning grooves 512 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first mating surface 111. A plurality of positioning protrusions 511 are provided on the second mating surface 121 on the first side of the second housing 12. The plurality of positioning protrusions 511 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second mating surface 121 and correspond to the plurality of positioning grooves 512 one by one.

[0108] A plurality of positioning protrusions 511 are provided on the first mating surface 111 on the second side of the first housing 11. The plurality of positioning protrusions 511 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the first mating surface 111. A plurality of positioning grooves 512 are provided on the second mating surface 121 on the second side of the second housing 12. The plurality of positioning grooves 512 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the second mating surface 121 and correspond to the positioning protrusions 511 one by one.

[0109] Furthermore, as Figure 5 、 Figure 6 shown, the positioning groove 512 on the first mating surface 111 on the first side of the first housing 11 has an open mouth facing the first side, and the positioning groove 512 on the second mating surface 121 on the second side of the second housing 12 has an open mouth facing the second side. This facilitates the positioning protrusion 511 on the second housing 12 to extend into the positioning groove 512 on the first housing 11, and facilitates the positioning protrusion 511 on the first housing 11 to extend into the positioning groove 512 on the second housing 12. Furthermore, it is convenient to reduce the installation difficulty and facilitate the rapid installation of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.

[0110] Among them, as Figure 7 shown, when the first housing 11 has a tendency to move toward the first side along the second direction relative to the second housing 12, the positioning protrusion 511 on the first housing 11 is in abutting cooperation with the side wall on the first side of the positioning groove 512 on the second housing 12 to limit the movement of the first housing 11 toward the first side.

[0111] When the first housing 11 has a tendency to move toward the second side along the second direction relative to the second housing 12, the positioning protrusion 511 on the second housing 12 is in abutting cooperation with the side wall on the second side of the positioning groove 512 on the first housing 11 to limit the movement of the first housing 11 toward the second side. Furthermore, it can limit the relative movement of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 in the second direction and prevent the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 from disengaging from the cooperation.

[0112] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7As shown, the first housing 11 is provided with a first mounting lug 531, and the second housing 12 is provided with a second mounting lug 532, which are used to mount the sterilization component 1 to a preset position, so that the sterilization substances generated by the sterilization component 1, such as light or sterilization ions, can reach the designated area from the through hole 13 to sterilize the designated area or the items in the designated area.

[0113] As Figure 7 shown, in some embodiments, the first mounting lug 531 and the second mounting lug 532 are located on both sides of the accommodation cavity 101 in the radial direction, so as to stably mount the sterilization component 1 at the preset position by using the first mounting lug 531 and the second mounting lug 532.

[0114] In some examples, the structures of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are the same. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a cylindrical accommodation cavity 101. After the second housing 12 is rotated 180° around the axial direction of the accommodation cavity 101, the second mounting lug 532 coincides with the first mounting lug 531.

[0115] In some embodiments, when the sterilization component 1 is applied to an air conditioner, the preset position is between the air wheel 72 and the heat exchanger 71 of the air conditioner, so that the sterilization component 1 can sterilize and disinfect the air conditioner and the heat exchanger 71, and further improve the cleanliness of the air blown by the air conditioner into the room.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the structures of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are the same. In this way, when manufacturing the sterilization component 1, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can share a mold, which is convenient for reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0117] In some specific examples, such as Figure 3 shown, the length directions of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 extend along the third direction. The first housing 11 is located on one side of the second housing 12 in the first direction. The first housing 11 has a first mating surface 111 on both sides in the second direction, and the second housing 12 has a second mating surface 121 on both sides in the second direction.

[0118] Wherein, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 define a cylindrical accommodation cavity 101. The third direction extends along the axial direction of the accommodation cavity 101. After the second housing 12 is rotated 180° around the axis of the accommodation cavity 101, the second housing 12 coincides with the first housing 11.

[0119] Specifically, the outer shell 10 includes a first side and a second side in the second direction. Both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 extend along the third direction. A plurality of first locking holes 311 are provided on the first side of the first housing 11, and a plurality of second locking holes 322 are provided on the second side of the second housing 12. After the plurality of second locking holes 322 are rotated 180° around the axis of the accommodation cavity 101, they coincide with the first locking holes 311.

[0120] A plurality of second locking buckles 321 are provided on the second side of the first housing 11, and a plurality of first locking buckles 312 are provided on the first side of the second housing 12. After the plurality of first locking buckles 312 are rotated 180° around the axis of the accommodation cavity 101, they coincide with the second locking buckles 321.

[0121] A plurality of positioning grooves 512 are provided on the first side of the first housing 11, and a plurality of positioning grooves 512 are provided on the second side of the second housing 12. After the second housing 12 is rotated 180° around the axis of the accommodation cavity 101, the plurality of positioning grooves 512 on the second housing 12 coincide with the plurality of positioning grooves 512 on the first housing 11.

[0122] A plurality of positioning protrusions 511 are provided on the second side of the first housing 11, and a plurality of positioning protrusions 511 are provided on the first side of the second housing 12. After the second housing 12 is rotated 180° around the axis of the accommodation cavity 101, the plurality of positioning protrusions 511 on the second housing 12 coincide with the plurality of positioning protrusions 511 on the first housing 11.

[0123] A plurality of through holes 13 are provided on the first housing 11, and the through holes 13 penetrate the wall of the first housing 11. A plurality of through holes 13 are provided on the second housing 12, and the through holes 13 penetrate the wall of the second housing 12. After the second housing 12 is rotated 180° around the axis of the accommodation cavity 101, the plurality of through holes 13 on the second housing 12 coincide with the plurality of through holes 13 on the first housing 11.

[0124] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell 10 is a cylindrical surface, so as to reduce the possibility that air will accumulate on the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell 10 and reduce the resistance of the sterilization component 1 to air.

[0125] In some embodiments, the sterilization component 1 is located on one side of the wind wheel 72. The wind wheel 72 rotates to drive air flow, so that the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell 10 is a cylindrical surface, so as to reduce the resistance of the outer shell 10 to the air in its vicinity, and further reduce the influence of the sterilization component 1 on the wind wheel 72, so that the wind wheel 72 can smoothly drive air flow.

[0126] In some embodiments, the length directions of both the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 extend along the third direction. The outer shell 10 defines a cylindrical accommodation cavity 101, and the outer peripheral surface of the outer shell 10 is a cylindrical surface. The axial direction of the outer shell 10 extends along the third direction.

[0127] Wherein, after the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are disassembled along the first direction, a relatively large open mouth is exposed on the outer housing 10, so as to facilitate the installation of the sterilization member 20 into the accommodation cavity 101 or the removal of the sterilization member 20 from the accommodation cavity 101.

[0128] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 4 shown, the two ends of the outer housing 10 in the length direction are respectively the first end and the second end, at least one through hole 13 is a third through hole 133, the third through hole 133 is located at the first end, and the sterilizing substances generated by the sterilization member 20, such as light or sterilizing ions, can reach the designated area from the third through hole 133 to sterilize the designated area or the articles in the designated area.

[0129] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the outer housing 10 near the third through hole 133 gradually extends outward from the first end to the second end, so as to form a transition surface between the outer peripheral wall of the outer housing 10 and the end surface at the first end, avoiding a sharp angle at the first end of the outer housing 10 and preventing the first end of the outer housing 10 from scratching the components near it when rubbing against the components near it.

[0130] In some examples, the outer peripheral wall of the outer housing 10 near the third through hole 133 gradually extends outward in an arc from the first end to the second end, so as to form a smooth transition surface between the outer peripheral wall of the outer housing 10 and the end surface at the first end, avoiding a sharp angle at the first end of the outer housing 10 and preventing the first end of the outer housing 10 from scratching the components near it when rubbing against the components near it.

[0131] In some embodiments, as Figures 9 - 11 shown, the sterilization assembly 1 further includes a buffer member 61. A part of the buffer member 61 is clamped between the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 101 and the sterilization member 20, and the other part extends out of the accommodation cavity 101 from the third through hole 133 to buffer the collision between the first end of the outer housing 10 and other components, preventing the first end of the outer housing 10 from scratching the components near it.

[0132] In some examples, as Figure 10 、 Figure 11 shown, the buffer member 61 includes a first part 611 and a second part 612. The first part 611 is clamped between the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 101 and the sterilization member 20, and the outer peripheral wall of the second part 612 and the end surface facing away from the first part 611 are connected by an arc transition to prevent the end of the buffer member 61 facing away from the outer housing 10 from scratching the components near the sterilization assembly 1.

[0133] Among them, the wall thickness of the first part 611 is smaller than that of the second part 612, so that the first part 611 can be clamped between the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 101 and the sterilization member 20, and a stepped surface is formed at the connection between the first part 611 and the second part 612. The stepped surface fits with the end surface of the first end of the housing 10 facing the buffer member 61 to wrap the first end of the housing 10, thereby preventing the first end of the housing 10 from scratching the components near the sterilization assembly 1.

[0134] In some examples, the buffer member 61 is a rubber member, so that the buffer member 61 has elasticity. Thus, when the first end of the sterilization assembly 1 collides with other components, the buffer member 61 can buffer the collision between the sterilization assembly 1 and other components, preventing the sterilization assembly 1 from scratching the components near it.

[0135] In some examples, as Figure 11 shown, the buffer member 61 has an avoidance through hole 613. The avoidance through hole 613 penetrates the buffer member 61 along the length direction of the housing 10, and the avoidance through hole 613 is communicated with the third through hole 133, so that the sterilizing substances generated by the sterilization assembly 1, such as light or sterilizing ions, can reach the designated area from the avoidance through hole 613 to sterilize the designated area or the items in the designated area.

[0136] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 、 Figure 11 shown, the sterilization assembly 1 further includes a support pad 62. The support pad 62 is disposed near the second end and is sleeved outside the sterilization member 20. The support pad 62 is in contact with the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 101 to separate the sterilization member 20 from the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 101, preventing the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 101 from contacting the sterilization member 20 and affecting the sterilization effect of the sterilization member 20.

[0137] In some examples, the support pad 62 is a rubber member, so that the support pad 62 has elasticity to protect the sterilization member 20. In this way, when the sterilization assembly 1 collides with other components, the support pad 62 can absorb part of the impact force and reduce the impact force on the sterilization member 20.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the sterilization member 20 includes a pulsed light sterilization lamp. The pulsed light sterilization lamp generates pulsed strong light that can play a sterilization role. The pulsed strong light generated by the pulsed light sterilization lamp can reach the designated area through the through hole 13 to sterilize the designated area or the items in the designated area.

[0139] Specifically, the ultraviolet wavelength in the pulsed strong light can be highly absorbed by the proteins and nucleic acids in microorganisms, destroying the cell walls and nucleic acid structures of microorganisms, resulting in obstacles to the metabolic functions of bacteria and thus causing the death of bacteria.

[0140] In addition, when the radiation dose of pulsed intense light reaches a certain level, it can rapidly heat up the surface layer of the cell wall, thereby destroying the cell wall of bacteria, causing the cell fluid to evaporate, destroying the cell structure, and leading to the death of bacteria. The penetrability and high-energy mechanical impact of pulsed intense light damage the cell wall and other components of microorganisms, further causing the death of microorganisms.

[0141] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, the pulsed light sterilization lamp is a long strip-shaped cylinder, and the length directions of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 extend along the length direction of the pulsed light sterilization lamp to define an accommodation cavity 101 adapted to the shape of the pulsed light sterilization lamp, thereby facilitating the improvement of the utilization rate of the space in the accommodation cavity 101 and facilitating the miniaturized design of the sterilization assembly 1.

[0142] The following description is attached Figure 12 An air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0143] The air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a heat exchanger 71, a blower wheel 72, and the sterilization assembly 1 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0144] The sterilization assembly 1 is provided on the bracket of the heat exchanger 71 and is located between the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72. The sterilization substances generated by the sterilization assembly 1, such as light or sterilizing ions, can reach the vicinity of the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72 from the through holes 13 to sterilize the heat exchanger 71 and the blower wheel 72, thereby facilitating the improvement of the cleanliness of the air blown by the air conditioner into the room.

[0145] In some embodiments, a plurality of through holes 13 are provided on the first housing 11 and the second housing 12.
