DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] Secondly, it should be noted that in the description of this application, terms such as "inside" and "outside" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. This is only for the convenience of description and does not indicate or imply that the device or component must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on this application.

[0032] In addition, it should be noted that, in the description of this application, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can mean fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; it can mean mechanical connection or electrical connection; it can mean direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0033] Air conditioner fins are typically installed on the inside of the outdoor unit, near the compressor. Their primary function is to dissipate indoor heat through the condenser to the outside, accelerating heat release during the cooling process to ensure optimal cooling. Over time, dust and dirt can accumulate on the fins, affecting the air conditioner's cooling efficiency and creating a breeding ground for bacteria. During the cooling process, the air conditioner condenses water vapor from the indoor air into condensed water and then discharges it.

[0034] Cleaning air conditioner fins typically requires disassembling the housing and filters, which requires specialized skills and tools. This process can be tedious and error-prone for non-professionals. Improper cleaning can damage the unit. While regular professional deep cleanings ensure thorough cleaning and prevent component damage, they also increase maintenance costs. Fans and natural convection cooling the fins are less efficient and may reduce their effectiveness as external temperatures rise, especially in hot climates.

[0035] Therefore, the inventors propose an air conditioner radiator dust removal and cooling device to solve the problem that the existing air conditioner radiator dust removal and cooling means are inefficient and affect the air conditioner heat dissipation efficiency.

[0036] The present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0037] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the air conditioner heat sink dust removal and cooling device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the split structure of the air conditioner heat sink dust removal and cooling device provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A top view of the middle movable rod; Figure 4 for Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the transmission assembly; Figure 5 Schematic diagram of the electrical connection structure of the sensing control component of the air conditioner heat sink dust removal and cooling device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner heat sink dust removal and cooling device, including: a water pump 1, a water collecting tank 2, a hose 3, a nozzle 4, a motor 5, a transmission assembly, a support rod 6 and a movable rod 7.

[0039] The transmission assembly is fixed to one side of the support rod 6, and the motor 5 is connected to the movable rod 7 through the transmission assembly; the support rod 6 is vertically fixed inside the air conditioner outdoor unit; the movable rod 7 is arranged between the heat sink 26 of the air conditioner and the support rod 6, and is slidably connected to the support rod 6.

[0040] Specifically, the support rod 6 is vertically fixed inside the air conditioner outdoor unit to provide stable support for the entire device.

[0041] The nozzle 4 is arranged on a side of the movable rod 7 close to the heat sink.

[0042] Specifically, the spray head 4 is positioned on the side of the movable rod 7 near the heat sink, and is used to spray condensed water directly onto the heat sink. The movable rod 7 is located between the heat sink 26 and the support rod 6 and can slide along the support rod 6 so that the spray head 4 can cover different areas of the heat sink. There are multiple spray heads 4, evenly distributed on the movable rod 7.

[0043] The water inlet of the water collecting tank 2 is connected to the condensate drain pipe 8 of the air conditioner, and the water outlet is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 1; the water outlet of the water pump 1 is connected to the nozzle 4 through the hose 3.

[0044] Specifically, the water collection tank 2 collects condensed water generated during air conditioning operation. The water pump 1 then pumps this condensed water to the spray nozzle 4 for spraying. The motor 5, through the transmission assembly, drives the movable rod 7, which drives the spray nozzle 4 along the sides of the heat sink, evenly spraying the condensed water between the fins. The sprayed condensed water quickly absorbs heat and evaporates on the heat sink surface, effectively reducing the heat sink temperature. The water flow also removes dust and dirt from the surface.

[0045] Specifically, by utilizing the condensed water generated by the air conditioner itself for cooling and cleaning, the demand for external water resources is reduced and the recycling rate of resources is improved; at the same time, internal self-cleaning is achieved to reduce the trouble of manual cleaning and avoid damage to the heat sink caused by improper human operation; and by cleaning and cooling the heat sink, the air conditioner can maintain efficient operation, prevent the performance of the air conditioner caused by high temperature, ensure that the air conditioning system always maintains good heat exchange efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and effectively extend the service life of the air conditioner.

[0046] This embodiment provides an air conditioning radiator dust removal and cooling device, which collects air conditioning condensate through a water collecting tank 2, and uses a water pump 1 to transport the water to a nozzle 4. The movable rod 7 is driven by a motor 5 and a transmission assembly, and can move up and down relative to the heat sink 26, thereby achieving comprehensive water spraying on the heat sink 26, thereby achieving the purpose of dust removal and cooling.

[0047] In some embodiments, a slide groove 9 is provided on the support rod 6 , and a slider 10 is provided on the middle part of the movable rod 7 close to the side of the support rod 6 , and the support rod 6 and the movable rod 7 slide together through the slider 10 and the slide groove 9 .

[0048] Specifically, the movable rod 7 slides stably along the support rod 6 through the cooperation of the slider 10 and the chute 9, ensuring the reliability and smoothness of the cleaning process. The cooperation between the slider 10 and the chute 9 prevents the movable rod 7 from shaking or deviating from the chain during movement, allowing the nozzle 4 to accurately spray water on the heat sink 26 to remove dust and cool it.

[0049] In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes a chain 11, a driving gear 12, a power gear 13, a transmission gear 14, and a gear shaft 15; the power gear 13 and the transmission gear 14 are sleeved on the gear shaft 15, and the power gear 13 and the transmission gear 14 are fixedly connected.

[0050] The driving gear 12 is fixed to the power output end of the motor 5 , and the driving gear 12 is meshed with the power gear 13 ; the transmission gear 14 is meshed with the chain 11 .

[0051] Specifically, the drive gear 12 is fixed to the power output end of the motor 5. When the motor 5 is started, the drive gear 12 rotates accordingly; the drive gear 12 is engaged with the power gear 13, and the power of the motor 5 is transmitted to the power gear 13 through gear transmission; the power gear 13 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 14, so the rotation of the power gear 13 will drive the transmission gear 14 to rotate synchronously; the transmission gear 14 is engaged with the chain 11, and when the transmission gear 14 rotates, the chain 11 will be driven to move.

[0052] After the motor 5 is started, the driving gear 12 begins to rotate and transmits power to the power gear 13 through meshing; the power gear 13 is fixedly connected to the transmission gear 14, so the transmission gear 14 will also rotate, thereby driving the chain 11 to move; through the cooperation of the slide groove 9 and the slider 10, the movable rod 7 can slide smoothly on the support rod 6, ensuring that the nozzle 4 can accurately cover different areas of the heat sink 26 for cleaning and cooling.

[0053] In some embodiments, an L-shaped clamping rod 16 is fixed at a position of the movable rod 7 corresponding to the chain 11 , and a clamping tooth 17 is fixed on the clamping rod 16 , and the movable rod 7 is engaged with the chain 11 through the clamping tooth 17 .

[0054] Specifically, the latching rod 16 stabilizes the transmission connection between the movable rod 7 and the chain 11, reducing the possibility of jitter or slippage during operation. The engaging teeth 17 on the L-shaped latching rod 16 engage the chain 11, more reliably transmitting the power of the chain 11 to the movable rod 7, ensuring that the movable rod 7 accurately responds to the movement of the chain 11 during operation.

[0055] In some embodiments, the above device further includes a cleaning assembly, which includes a plurality of brushes 18 , one end of the brush 18 is disposed between the heat sinks 26 , and the other end is fixed to the movable rod 7 .

[0056] Specifically, when the movable rod 7 drives the brush 18 to move, the brush 18 can move along the surface of the heat sink 26, and its bristles can penetrate into the gaps of the heat sink 26 to effectively remove accumulated dust and dirt. At the same time, the condensed water sprayed by the nozzle 4 can help the brush 18 better dissolve and remove dust, keep the heat sink 26 clean and have good heat dissipation performance, and improve the efficiency and effect of cleaning.

[0057] In some embodiments, a reinforcement rod 19 is provided at the middle portion of the brush 18 and at the end away from the movable rod 7 .

[0058] Specifically, the reinforcement rod 19 can prevent the brush 18 from bending or deforming during the cleaning process, better maintain its working shape, enhance the structural strength and stability of the brush 18, make it less likely to deform or be damaged during the cleaning process, and perform the cleaning function more lastingly, while also ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning effect.

[0059] In some embodiments, a three-way joint 20 is provided at the water inlet of the water pump 1 , and the first water inlet end of the three-way joint 20 is connected to the water outlet of the water collecting tank 2 ; the second water inlet end is connected to an external water source, and the water outlet end is connected to the water pump 1 .

[0060] Specifically, access to multiple water sources is achieved through the three-way connector 20. When the air conditioner produces enough condensed water, the condensed water of the air conditioner can be used for cleaning and cooling, thereby achieving the purpose of resource recycling; when the condensed water is insufficient, it is switched to an external water source to ensure the continuous operation of the device.

[0061] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned device also includes an induction control component, which includes a temperature sensor 21, a comparator 22 and a control module 23; the temperature sensor 21 is connected to the control module 23 through the comparator 22, and the control module 23 is connected to the water pump 1 and the motor 5.

[0062] Specifically, temperature sensor 21 monitors the temperature inside the air conditioner's outdoor unit in real time. Comparator 22 compares this temperature with a set threshold signal to determine whether cleaning and cooling should be initiated. The comparison result is then transmitted as a signal to control module 23. Control module 23 then issues signals based on the comparison result to control water pump 1 and motor 5, minimizing manual intervention and reducing maintenance costs. Control module 23 is a single-chip microcomputer or integrated control circuit, representing an application of existing technology.

[0063] In some embodiments, the above device further includes a water level sensor 24 . The water level sensor 24 is disposed in the water collecting tank 2 , and the water level sensor 24 is connected to the control module 23 .

[0064] Specifically, the water level sensor 24 is usually installed inside the water collecting tank 2 to monitor the water level in the water collecting tank 2 in real time. When the water level in the water collecting tank 2 is lower than the preset minimum water level, the water level sensor 24 sends a signal to the control module 23, and the control module 23 can switch the water inlet mode of the water pump to the external water source through existing technical means such as control switch.

[0065] In some embodiments, the device described above further comprises a fan 25 arranged on the side of the support rod 6 away from the movable rod 7.

[0066] Specifically, the fan 25 is added to improve the efficiency of the air conditioner fin 26 dust removal device. By arranging the fan 25 on the side of the support rod 6 away from the movable rod 7, the wind speed on the surface of the fin 26 can be accelerated, thereby improving the heat dissipation speed. Combined with water spraying and brush 18 cleaning, the fan 25 can further remove the residual water and dirt on the fin 26, keeping the fin 26 clean and running efficiently.

[0067] Other embodiments of the present application will be apparent to those skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and practice of the technology disclosed herein.
