DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other in any way.

[0027] The air purification module for air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is as follows: Figures 1 to 4As shown, it includes: an air purification net 100; and a housing 200 of an integrated structure, the housing 200 includes a base 210 and a stopper 220, the base 210 has a receiving groove 212, and the stopper 220 is located at the notch of the receiving groove 212; in the length direction of the receiving groove 212: one end of the stopper 220 is flexibly connected to the peripheral wall of the receiving groove 212 in a swingable manner, and the other end of the stopper 220 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 212; in the width direction of the receiving groove 212 : At least one end of the stopper 220 is connected to the peripheral wall of the receiving groove 212 in an openable and closable manner; wherein, the air purification net 100 is placed in the receiving groove 212, and the stopper 220 prevents the air purification net 100 from escaping from the receiving groove 212 from the notch of the receiving groove 212, and the shell 200 is provided with an air outlet, and the air purification net 100 is connected to the outside of the shell 100 through the air outlet, and the air purification net 100 contacts the air through the air outlet to realize that the air purification net 100 purifies the air.

[0028] The air purification module only needs to disassemble and assemble the openable and closable connection structure between the stopper 220 and the peripheral wall of the receiving groove 212 to realize the opening and closing of the shell 200, thereby realizing the removal and installation of the air purification net 100. In this solution, the disassembly and assembly process of the shell 200 is simpler; moreover, the openable and closable connection structure between the stopper 220 and the peripheral wall of the receiving groove 212 can be designed as a relatively simple snap-on connection structure or a screw connection structure, so that the shell 200 can be manufactured in one time using an injection molding process, which makes the manufacturing difficulty of the shell 200 smaller.

[0029] The air outlet includes a first air outlet 211 and a second air outlet 213. The air purification net 100 is located between the first air outlet 211 and the second air outlet 213.

[0030] It can be that the first air outlet 211 is opposite to one side of the air purification net 100, and the second air outlet 213 is opposite to the other side of the air purification net 100, so that the air passing through the air channel 240 can better contact with the air purification net 100 and pass through the air purification net 100, so the air purification efficiency is higher and the purification effect is better.

[0031] Of course, the first air outlet 211 may be located on the peripheral wall of the base 210, and the air purification net 100 may be located between the first air outlet 211 and the second air outlet 213; of course, the first air outlet 211 may not be provided on the bottom wall of the base 210 and the peripheral wall of the base 210, and the air may come into contact with the air purification net 100 during the process of passing through the slot of the receiving slot 212 to achieve air purification, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and its purpose does not deviate from the design concept of the present utility model, and will not be repeated here, and should all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0032] In one embodiment, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the housing 200 is an integrally formed part manufactured by an injection molding process, so that the manufacturing difficulty of the housing 200 is lower.

[0033] It can be, for example Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the peripheral wall of the accommodating groove 212 is provided with a buckle position 530, and at least one end of the stopper 220 located in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 is provided with a buckle 530, and the buckle 530 and the buckle position 540 are correspondingly opened and closed and can be snapped together, so that at least one end of the stopper 220 located in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 can be opened and closed and connected with the peripheral wall of the accommodating groove 212; or it can be that the peripheral wall of the accommodating groove 212 is provided with a screw hole (it can be that the screw hole is protruding on the outer peripheral surface of the accommodating groove 212), and at least one end of the stopper 220 located in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 is provided with a through hole, and the screw passes through the through hole and is screwed into the screw hole, so that at least one end of the stopper 220 located in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 can be opened and closed and connected with the peripheral wall of the accommodating groove 212; the above can all achieve the purpose of this application, and its purpose does not deviate from the design idea of ​​the present utility model, and will not be repeated here, and should all fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0034] In some examples, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the stopper 220 includes a first stopper and a second stopper. In the longitudinal direction of the receiving slot 212, the first stopper and the second stopper are spaced apart, and the ends of the first stopper and the second stopper, facing each other, are flexibly and swingably connected to the opposite side walls of the receiving slot 212 in the longitudinal direction. In the width direction of the receiving slot 212, both ends of the first stopper and both ends of the second stopper are openably and closably connected to the opposite side walls of the receiving slot 212 in the width direction. In which: the accommodating groove 212 is set as a rectangular groove; in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212: both ends of the first stopper and both ends of the second stopper are provided with snaps 530, and the opposite side walls in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 are provided with snap positions 540, and the snaps 530 and the snap positions 540 correspond one by one and can be opened and closed to achieve that the two ends of the first stopper located in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 and the two ends of the second stopper located in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 are connected to the opposite side walls in the width direction of the accommodating groove 212 in an openable and closable manner.

[0035] In some examples, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the stopper 220 is provided with a holding portion 221. When the housing 200 is closed, the holding portion 221 presses the air purification net 100 on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 212 to prevent the air purification net 100 from shaking in the receiving groove 212.

The second air outlet 213 includes the opening 223, and the air also reaches the air purification network 100 through the opening 223.

[0036] The opening 223 may be a long hole, a round hole, an elliptical hole or a special-shaped hole, etc., all of which can achieve the purpose of this application. The purpose does not deviate from the design concept of the utility model and will not be repeated here. They should all fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] In one embodiment, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the pressing portion 221 is a pressing rib protruding from the side of the stopper 220 , and the grabbing portion 222 is a grabbing block protruding from the end of the stopper 220 .

[0038] In some examples, the base 210 is provided with a fixing structure adapted to fix the base 210 to a refrigerant pipe of an air conditioner to purify the indoor air while the air conditioner is operating. Alternatively, the fixing structure may be configured as a plug-in connector and / or a snap-on connector, which is structurally simple and easy to implement.

[0039] In one embodiment, the air conditioner includes a heat exchanger, and the fixing structure is configured to engage with the refrigerant tube of the heat exchanger 300. Alternatively, the air purification module may be located on one side of the heat exchanger 300, and the housing 200 may be attached to the refrigerant tube of the heat exchanger 300 via the fixing structure, thereby assembling the air purification module and the heat exchanger 300 together.

[0040] In some embodiments, a snap-in connector and a plug-in connector are protruded from the wall of the first air outlet 211 in a direction facing away from the notch of the accommodating groove 212. A slot is constructed between the snap-in connector and the wall of the first air outlet 211.

A snap-in connector is provided at one end of the end wall of the plug-in connector away from the base 210. The refrigerant tube of the heat exchanger 300 includes a first refrigerant tube and a second refrigerant tube, and the first refrigerant tube is parallel to the second refrigerant tube. The snap-in connector first crosses over the first refrigerant tube to confine the first refrigerant tube in the slot. At this time, the snap-in connector is exactly opposite to the second refrigerant tube. Pressing the housing 200 to clamp the snap-in connector onto the second refrigerant tube can realize the assembly of the air purification module and the heat exchanger 300. This solution has a simple structure and is easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0041] In some examples, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the air purification net 100 is a formaldehyde-removing manganese net. When the air passes through the air channel 240, the air comes into contact with the formaldehyde-removing manganese net, and the formaldehyde-removing manganese net removes formaldehyde from the air.
