[0031] Specifically, when the purification module 300 needs to be disassembled, the elastic part 220 is pushed upward at the back of the purification module 300, so that the elastic part 220 is elastically bent away from the fixed part 210, and the purification module 300 can be taken out from the installation space; when the purification module 300 needs to be installed, one side of the purification module 300 is first abutted against the fixed part 210, and then the other side of the purification module 300 is pushed upward at the back of the elastic part 220, so that the elastic part 220 is elastically bent away from the fixed part 210, and the purification module 300 can be clamped into the installation space.

[0032] Optionally, the fixed part 210 is provided with a step 211, and one side of the purification module 300 abuts against the step 211.

The fixed structure is a rigid structure that cannot be elastically deformed, which is used to support and fix one side of the purification module 300.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the purification module 300 includes a bracket 310, an ultraviolet light source 320, and a light guide cotton 330 loaded with a photocatalyst material, the bracket 310 is arranged in the installation space, and two opposite sides of the bracket 310 abut against the elastic part 220 and the fixed part 210, respectively; the ultraviolet light source 320 and the light guide cotton 330 are arranged on the bracket 310, and the light irradiation direction of the ultraviolet light source 320 is toward the light guide cotton 330.

[0036] The ultraviolet light source 320 is used to provide ultraviolet light to irradiate on the light guide cotton 330, the light guide cotton 330 loaded with the photocatalyst material is used to receive the ultraviolet light for photocatalytic sterilization and formaldehyde removal, and the light guide cotton 330 can be repeatedly washed with water to achieve sterilization and formaldehyde removal without consumables.

[0039] Specifically, titanium dioxide is a material with photocatalytic function, also known as photocatalyst, which will produce a photocatalytic reaction similar to photosynthesis under ultraviolet light, producing free hydroxyl radicals and active oxygen with extremely strong oxidation ability, and has strong photo-oxidation and reduction function, which can oxidize and decompose various organic compounds (such as formaldehyde) and part of inorganic matter, can destroy the cell membrane of bacteria and solidify the protein of virus, can kill bacteria and decompose organic pollutants, decompose organic pollutants into non-polluting water and carbon dioxide, and realize the functions of sterilization and formaldehyde removal.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the support 310 includes a main body part 311 and a support part 312, the two ends of the main body part 311 are oppositely provided with the support part 312, the two ends of the ultraviolet light source 320 are respectively installed on the support part 312 at both ends of the main body part 311, and the light guide cotton 330 is installed on the main body part 311.

[0041] Optionally, the support 310 is a component made of ultraviolet photochromic material (such as ultraviolet photochromic plastic), when the ultraviolet light source 320 emits ultraviolet light, the support 310 will change color under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, facilitating the user to intuitively feel the prompt of normal operation of the ultraviolet light source 320. Of course, the support 310 can also be made of plastic or metal material with strong ultraviolet resistance, and the present application does not limit this, and the specific selection can be made according to the actual needs.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the ultraviolet light source 320 includes a lamp plate 321 and a plurality of ultraviolet lamp beads 322, the lamp plate 321 is arranged on the support 310 and is oppositely arranged with the light guide cotton 330, and the plurality of ultraviolet lamp beads 322 are arranged on one side of the lamp plate 321 facing the light guide cotton 330. Among them, the lamp plate 321 can be fixed on the support 310 by screws and / or buckles.

[0043] Optionally, in order to guarantee the purification efficiency while preventing the problem of excessive ultraviolet light irradiation intensity generating ozone, a scheme of reducing the power of the ultraviolet lamp beads 322 and increasing the number of the ultraviolet lamp beads 322 can be adopted. For example, the ultraviolet lamp beads 322 can be selected as ultraviolet LED lamp beads with a power of 5-100 milliwatts, and the number of the LED lamp beads is 15-25.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner further comprises a filter screen 400, which is arranged at the air inlet 101. The filter screen 400 is used to filter out dust or other larger particles in the air flow. The purification module 300 is located above the filter screen 400 to reduce the air resistance.

[0045] Specifically, when the air conditioner is working normally, the indoor air first enters the purification module 300 to complete the sterilization and formaldehyde removal functions, and then passes through the filter screen 400 for dust interception, thereby realizing healthy purification. When the purification module 300 needs to be cleaned, the elastic part 220 can be directly pushed by the purification module 300 to elastically bend away from the fixed part 210, so that the purification module 300 can be taken out of the installation space, thereby realizing the disassembly of the purification module 300.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis, and the parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment can be referred to the related description of other embodiments.

[0047] The air conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present application is described in detail above, and the principle and implementation mode of the present application are described by applying specific examples. The above description of the embodiments is only used to help understand the method of the present application and its core idea; at the same time, for those skilled in the art, according to the idea of the present application, the specific implementation mode and application range will be changed, and the above description of the embodiments should not be understood as a limitation of the present application.
