Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air conditioner inlet and outlet protection structures, and particularly relates to an air conditioner inlet and outlet protection structure with a sterilization component. Background Art
[0002] The air conditioner inlet and outlet protection structure is an important part of the air conditioner system. Its design aims to protect the air conditioner system from external pollutants, while ensuring the cleanliness and comfort of indoor air. The inlet protection structure is mainly located at the air inlet of the air conditioner, and its function is to prevent sundries such as dust, hair, dander, insects, small animals, etc. and microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the external air from entering the interior of the air conditioner system. The outlet protection structure is located at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and its main function is to prevent external pollutants from entering the room through the air outlet and protect the components inside the air conditioner system from being damaged.
[0003] During the use of the existing air conditioner inlet and outlet protection structure, as the air conditioner operates, bacteria in the air will enter the air conditioner interior through the air inlet. The interior of the air inlet of the air conditioner inlet and outlet protection structure only filters dust through a filter screen. A part of the bacteria will remain in the air conditioner interior along with the air, and a part will be blown out by the cold air, thus being absorbed by people using the air conditioner. In this way, not only will bacteria and microorganisms accumulate in the air conditioner system, forming a biofilm, adhering to components such as condensers, evaporators, and air wheels, hindering air circulation, reducing the heat exchange efficiency, and causing system failures, but also the cold air blown out contains a lot of bacteria, making people prone to health problems such as respiratory diseases and allergic reactions.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an air conditioner inlet and outlet protection structure with a sterilization component to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an air inlet and outlet protection structure for an air conditioner with a sterilization component. Through the air inlet sterilization cavity, sliding groove, sliding block, dust collection plate, built-in chamber, ultraviolet sterilization lamp and electrostatic dust collection module, the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner is equipped with a sterilization component, which can reduce the problem of component failure and loss caused by the accumulation of bacteria and microorganisms inside the air conditioner system. Moreover, the sterilization component can reduce the bacterial content in the blown cold air, and reduce the probability of health problems such as respiratory diseases and allergic reactions caused by a large amount of bacteria in the blown cold air, so as to solve the problem that in the prior art, during the use of the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner, as the air conditioner operates, bacteria in the air will enter the air conditioner through the air inlet, and only dust is filtered by the filter inside the air inlet of the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner. Some bacteria will remain inside the air conditioner along with the air, and some will be blown out by the cold air, so that people blowing the air conditioner will inhale them. In this way, not only will bacteria and microorganisms accumulate inside the air conditioner system, forming a biofilm, adhering to components such as condensers, evaporators, and air wheels, hindering air circulation, reducing heat exchange efficiency, and causing system failures, but also the blown cold air contains a large amount of bacteria, making people prone to health problems such as respiratory diseases and allergic reactions.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: An air inlet and outlet protection structure for an air conditioner with a sterilization component, including an air inlet and outlet protection structure frame body for docking and installing with the air conditioner;
[0007] An air inlet sterilization cavity is arranged inside the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame body for assisting the air inlet of the air conditioner. An outer grille is fixedly installed outside the air inlet sterilization cavity. An air inlet pipe is fixedly installed outside the air inlet sterilization cavity. A sliding groove is opened inside the air inlet sterilization cavity. A sliding block is movably connected inside the sliding groove. A dust collection plate is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding block;
[0008] A built-in chamber is arranged inside the air inlet sterilization cavity for connecting and installing an ultraviolet sterilization lamp. An electrostatic dust collection module is arranged below the ultraviolet sterilization lamp. An air outlet cavity is arranged below the air inlet sterilization cavity. A sterilization block is fixedly installed inside the air outlet cavity.
[0009] Preferably, a fixed card slot is opened outside the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame body. A fixed card block is movably connected inside the fixed card slot. An outer protective cover is fixedly installed at one end of the fixed card block. An air inlet grille is opened outside the outer protective cover.
[0010] Preferably, the fixed card block fixedly installed on one side of the outer protective cover is snap-fitted with the fixed card slot opened outside the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame body, and the fixed card block and the fixed card slot are used in cooperation.
[0011] Preferably, an elastic frame is provided inside the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame, and a photocatalyst filter screen is fixedly installed inside the elastic frame.
[0012] Preferably, the dust collection plate is slidably connected to the air inlet sterilization cavity, and the internal dimensions of the sliding groove match the external dimensions of the sliding block.
[0013] Preferably, a movable rotating shaft is provided in front of the air outlet cavity body, and an air outlet fan blade is fixedly installed outside the movable rotating shaft.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the present utility model are:
[0015] The present utility model is provided with an air inlet sterilization cavity, a sliding groove, a sliding block, a dust collection plate, an inner compartment, an ultraviolet sterilization lamp and an electrostatic dust collection module. When using the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner, bacteria in the external air will enter the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame together with the air. When passing through the air inlet sterilization cavity, the internal electrostatic dust collection module uses the principle of static electricity to vibrate the dust particles in the air and make them adsorb on the dust collection plate, thereby achieving the effect of dust removal and sterilization. This method can efficiently remove suspended particulate matter in the air. Coupled with the ultraviolet sterilization lamps on both sides in the air inlet sterilization cavity, the incoming air is pre-treated, effectively killing bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air, reducing indoor microbial pollution, reducing the microbial content, and improving the indoor air quality. Such a combined use enables the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner to have a sterilization component, which can reduce the problem of component failures and losses caused by the accumulation of bacteria and microorganisms inside the air conditioner system. Moreover, the sterilization component can reduce the bacterial content in the blown cold air and reduce the probability of health problems such as respiratory diseases and allergic reactions caused by a large amount of bacteria in the blown cold air.
[0016] The present utility model is provided with an outer protective cover, an elastic frame, a photocatalyst filter screen, an air outlet cavity body and a sterilization block. When using the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner, before the bacteria in the air enter the air inlet sterilization cavity along with the air, they are first preliminarily filtered and blocked by the external elastic frame and photocatalyst filter screen. The photocatalyst filter screen generates strongly oxidizing free radicals, which can decompose organic pollutants and bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air, thereby playing a role in purifying the air. Coupled with the air outlet cavity body and the sterilization block, the air to be sent out can be subjected to secondary sterilization treatment. This dual sterilization mechanism can more effectively reduce the microbial content in the indoor air and improve the indoor air quality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present utility model, the following will further introduce the present utility model in detail in conjunction with the drawings.
[0026] The present utility model provides an air conditioner inlet and outlet air protection structure with a sterilization component as shown in Figures 1-5 , including an inlet and outlet air protection structure frame 1 for docking and installing with the air conditioner;
[0027] An air inlet sterilization cavity 8 is arranged inside the inlet and outlet air protection structure frame 1 for assisting the air inlet of the air conditioner. An outer grille 9 is fixedly installed outside the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, an air inlet duct 10 is fixedly installed outside the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, a sliding slot 11 is opened inside the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, a sliding block 12 is movably connected inside the sliding slot 11, and a dust collection plate 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the sliding block 12;
[0028] The built-in bin 14 is arranged inside the air inlet sterilization cavity 8 and is used to connect and install the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 15. A static dust collection module 16 is arranged below the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 15. An air outlet cavity 17 is arranged below the air inlet sterilization cavity 8. A sterilization block 18 is fixedly installed inside the air outlet cavity 17. The air outlet cavity 17 and the sterilization block 18 can perform secondary sterilization treatment on the air to be sent out. This dual sterilization mechanism can more effectively reduce the microbial content in indoor air and improve indoor air quality.
[0029] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a fixed card slot 2 is opened on the outside of the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame 1. A fixed card block 3 is movably connected inside the fixed card slot 2. One end of the fixed card block 3 is fixedly installed with an outer protective cover 4. An air inlet grille 5 is opened on the outside of the outer protective cover 4. The outer protective cover 4 provides a certain degree of protection for the air inlet of the entire air conditioner air inlet and outlet protection structure, reducing the probability of internal components being damaged. The fixed card block 3 fixedly installed on one side of the outer protective cover 4 is snap-fitted with the fixed card slot 2 opened on the outside of the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame 1. The fixed card block 3 and the fixed card slot 2 are used in cooperation. The structures of the fixed card block 3 and the fixed card slot 2 are simple and the operation is easy. The outer protective cover 4 can be disassembled to clean the internal components after long-term use. An elastic frame 6 is arranged inside the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame 1. A photocatalyst filter screen 7 is fixedly installed inside the elastic frame 6. Before the bacteria in the air enter the air inlet sterilization cavity 8 along with the air, they are first preliminarily filtered and blocked by the external elastic frame 6 and the photocatalyst filter screen 7. The photocatalyst filter screen 7 generates strongly oxidizing free radicals, and these free radicals can decompose organic pollutants and microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the air, thereby playing a role in purifying the air.
[0030] As Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the dust collection plate 13 is slidably connected to the air inlet sterilization cavity 8. The internal size of the sliding groove 11 matches the external size of the sliding block 12. Bacteria in the external air will enter the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame 1 together with the air. When passing through the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, the internal static dust collection module 16 uses the electrostatic principle to vibrate the dust particles in the air and make them adsorbed on the dust collection plate 13, thereby achieving the effect of dust removal and sterilization. A movable rotating shaft 19 is arranged in front of the air outlet cavity 17. An air outlet fan blade 20 is fixedly installed on the outside of the movable rotating shaft 19. The air outlet fan blade 20 can close the air outlet when the air conditioner air inlet and outlet protection structure is not in use, reducing the probability of internal components being damaged.
[0031] Working principle of this utility model: First, install this air inlet and outlet protection structure inside the air conditioner, then connect to the external power supply, connect the air inlet pipe 10 of the air inlet sterilization cavity 8 to the internal components of the air conditioner, and then connect the air outlet cavity 17 to the air outlet pipe of the air conditioner. After such installation, the air conditioner can be started to start sucking air for refrigeration. During the air suction process of the air conditioner, bacteria in the external air will enter the air inlet and outlet protection structure frame 1 together with the air. Then, before passing through the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, it will be preliminarily filtered and blocked by the external elastic frame 6 and photocatalyst filter screen 7. The photocatalyst filter screen 7 will generate strongly oxidizing free radicals, and these free radicals can decompose organic pollutants, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air, thus playing a role in purifying the air. Subsequently, when the air enters the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, the internal electrostatic dust collection module 16 uses the electrostatic principle to vibrate the dust particles in the air and make them adsorbed on the dust collection plate 13, thus achieving the effect of dust removal and sterilization. This method can efficiently remove suspended particulate matter in the air. Then, in cooperation with the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 15 on both sides in the air inlet sterilization cavity 8, the incoming air is pretreated to effectively kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air, reduce indoor microbial pollution, lower the microbial content, and improve indoor air quality. Then, the sterilized air is sucked into the internal components of the air conditioner for refrigeration and then input into the air outlet cavity 17 through the air outlet pipe. At this time, the sterilization block 18 inside the air outlet cavity 17 can perform secondary sterilization treatment on the air about to be sent out when the cold air flows through. This double sterilization mechanism can more effectively reduce the microbial content in the indoor air and improve indoor air quality. Finally, after completing all the installation and use work of the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner according to the above operations, cut off the external power supply and perform daily maintenance on this device. Just like this, the use process of the air inlet and outlet protection structure of the air conditioner with a sterilization component is completed.
[0032] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present utility model have been described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
