Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner cleaning technology, specifically to a tool for unclogging an air conditioner Y-type filter. Background Technology

[0002] In the repair and maintenance of central air conditioning fan coil units, the Y-type filter is a component that must be removed, such as... Figure 1 As shown, after prolonged use, the inlet 2 and outlet 1 of the Y-type filter are prone to clogging at the connection points with the drain outlet 3, as shown in position 4 in the figure. If not cleaned in time, it will affect the performance of the filter. To solve the above problem, ordinary dirt can be flushed out by water pressure, but when there is sediment or hardened dirt clogging the pipe, it cannot be flushed out by water pressure. In this case, the Y-type filter needs to be removed from the pipe and cleared with special tools. Repeated disassembly and reassembly can easily lead to water leakage. Utility Model Content

[0033] See Figure 2 , 3 , Figure 2 , 3 This invention illustrates an embodiment of an air conditioner Y-type filter unclogging tool, comprising: an S-shaped rod, the S-shaped rod including at least a middle section 6 and a first arc segment 71 and a second arc segment 72 extending from both ends of the middle section 6, respectively. The shape of the first arc segment 71 is adapted to the internal structure of the part connecting the water inlet 2 and the drain outlet 3 of the Y-type filter, and the shape of the second arc segment 72 is adapted to the internal structure of the part connecting the water outlet 1 and the drain outlet 3 of the Y-type filter; the included angle β1 formed between the two end faces of the first arc segment 71 is between 77° and 80°, such as 77°, 78°, 79°, and 80°, and the central arc radius R1 is between 46mm and 49mm, such as 4mm. The arc length L1 of the first arc segment 71 is 6mm, 47mm, and 49mm, and the arc length L1 is between 60mm and 70mm, such as 60mm, 61mm, 63mm, 65mm, 68mm, 69mm, and 70mm; the included angle β2 formed between the two end faces of the second arc segment 72 is between 96° and 99°, such as 96°, 97°, 98°, and 99°; the arc radius R2 of the first arc segment 71 is between 40mm and 43mm, such as 40mm, 41mm, and 43mm; the arc length L2 of the first arc segment 71 is between 65mm and 75mm, such as 65mm, 66mm, 69mm, 70mm, and 75mm; the arc surfaces of the first arc segment 71 and the second arc segment 72 have scratch textures. In use, the first arc segment 71 extends into the drain port 3 of the air conditioner Y-type filter, and the scraping texture on the surface of the arc segment cleans the dirt 4 at the connection between the drain port 3 and the water outlet 1. Specifically, it can be done by scraping back and forth along a certain direction. Similarly, the second arc segment 72 can extend into the drain port 3 of the air conditioner Y-type filter, and the scraping texture on the surface of the arc segment cleans the dirt 4 at the connection between the drain port 3 and the water inlet 2, thus achieving internal cleaning of the Y-type filter without disassembly.

[0034] Scratching textures can be arrays of raised lines, bumps, ripples, or threads. In this example, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the scratch texture consists of an array of raised lines 8, covering the entire arc. In other examples, such as... Figure 3As shown, the scratch texture can also be applied at other locations as needed, outside the localized area of ​​the arc segment, or even distributed across the entire surface of the S-shaped bar. In this example, the middle section 6 of the S-shaped bar is a straight bar with a silicone surface for easy grip. The S-shaped bar is a one-piece molded part made of steel or copper. Preferably, in this example, the diameter of the S-shaped bar is 2mm-5mm, such as 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm.

[0035] In one embodiment, the ends of the first arc segment 71 and the second arc segment 72 respectively extend into straight connecting segments 9; it also includes a handle that can be detachably connected to the straight connecting segment 91 at the end of either the first arc segment 71 or the second arc segment 72. The handle 5 is threadedly connected to the straight connecting segment 9, specifically as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the end of the handle 5 has an internal thread 51 that matches the straight connecting section 9, and the straight connecting section 9 has an external thread.

[0036] In this example, preferably, the center lines of the first arc segment 71 and the second arc segment 72 are both tangent to the center line of the middle segment 6; the length of the middle segment 6 is 2.5cm; Figure 6 As shown, the radius R1 of the central arc of the first arc segment 71 is 47mm, and the length L1 of the central arc is 65mm; Figure 5 As shown, the radius R2 of the center arc of the second arc segment 72 is 41mm, and the length L2 of the center arc is 71mm.

[0037] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
