Due to the modular design, each module can be replaced individually, and the user only needs to replace or maintain the problematic module without replacing the entire aldehyde removal assembly 300, thereby reducing maintenance costs and unnecessary waste.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the connector 320 is a hinge.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, the rotatable connector 320 between the formaldehyde removal modules 310 adopts a hinge structure.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner further includes a support plate 400, which is disposed inside the housing 100 and is used to support the formaldehyde removal component 300.

[0044] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the support plate 400, as a fixed component inside the air conditioner, primarily functions to provide stable support for the formaldehyde removal module 300, ensuring that the formaldehyde removal module 310 does not experience unnecessary displacement or detachment during operation, thus guaranteeing the stability and long-term reliable operation of the entire formaldehyde removal system. The support plate 400 is arranged inside the air conditioner casing 100, ensuring a compact overall structure and preventing the support plate 400 from occupying external space. The specific design of the support plate 400 is tailored to fit the formaldehyde removal module 300, allowing the formaldehyde removal module 310 to be stably fixed to the support plate 400. The support plate 400 has a structure that matches the shape of the formaldehyde removal module 300, ensuring its stability and preventing loosening during operation.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the formaldehyde removal component 300 includes a first formaldehyde removal module 311 and a second formaldehyde removal module 312; the support plate 400 is provided with a first support portion 410 and a second support portion 420, the first support portion 410 is used to support the first formaldehyde removal module 311, and the second support portion 420 is used to support the second formaldehyde removal module 312.

[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, by setting different support parts on the support plate 400 to support different formaldehyde removal modules 310 respectively, each module can be stably supported and achieve a more efficient formaldehyde removal function. The design of the support parts allows the formaldehyde removal module 310 to be stably fixed on the support plate 400, preventing displacement or loosening of the module during operation and ensuring the continuity of the formaldehyde removal effect.

[0047] It should be noted that a gap is provided between the first support part 410 and the second support part 420, so that when the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 is installed, the gap can accommodate the connecting piece 320 used to connect the first formaldehyde removal module 311 and the second formaldehyde removal module 312, and further, the gap can also function as a limiting part. Those skilled in the art can design the specific structure of the formaldehyde removal module 310 according to the needs, and each formaldehyde removal module 310 can have different functions or use different filtering technologies to treat different pollutants, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness of air purification.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the casing 100 is provided with a top plate 130, and the air inlet 110 is arranged on the top plate 130; the arrangement direction of the first support part 410 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the top plate 130.

[0049] As shown in Figure 3 , the provision of the top plate 130 not only provides the upper part of the casing 100 with a closed structure, but also facilitates the arrangement of the air inlet 110. By arranging the air inlet 110 on the top plate 130, the air flow into the air conditioner can be effectively guided. In the design of the support plate 400, the arrangement direction of the first support part 410 is consistent with the arrangement direction of the top plate 130, which makes the space arrangement between the support part and the air inlet 110 more coordinated, avoids unreasonable layout, space waste or structural conflicts, and helps to improve the stability and compactness of the formaldehyde removal assembly 300.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, one side of the opening 121 is transitionally connected with the support plate 400, and the other side of the opening 121 is transitionally connected with the top plate 130.

[0051] As shown in Figure 3 , the edge of the opening 121 is connected with the edge or surface of the support plate 400 through a certain transition mode, and the other edge of the opening 121 is connected with the top plate 130 through a smooth transition, which not only ensures the stability of the space formed between the support plate 400 and the top plate 130, but also effectively allows the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 to move smoothly in the space.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the heat exchanger 200 includes a first heat exchanger 210 and a second heat exchanger 220; the second heat exchanger 220 is arranged obliquely, the second support part 420 is arranged obliquely, and the oblique direction of the second heat exchanger 220 is consistent with the oblique direction of the second support part 420.

[0053] As shown in Figure 4 , 6As shown, the inclined arrangement of the second heat exchanger 220 can effectively utilize space, optimize heat exchange efficiency, and improve fluid flow. Through the inclined arrangement, the second heat exchanger 220 can achieve higher heat exchange efficiency in a limited space or avoid space conflicts with other components. The second support portion 420 is consistent with the inclination direction of the second heat exchanger 220, indicating that the angle at which the second support portion 420 supports the second aldehyde removal module 312 is consistent with the inclination angle of the second heat exchanger 220 itself, which ensures the compactness between various components in the internal space and avoids space waste.

[0054] In the process, indoor air enters the air conditioner first, passes through the aldehyde removal assembly 300, then reaches the heat exchanger 200, and finally is sent out of the air conditioner, which ensures the maximization of the aldehyde removal effect and the heat exchange effect. Further, due to the inclined angle of the second support portion 420, the aldehyde removal assembly 300 is ensured not to displace during normal operation under the action of gravity.

[0055] It should be noted that the aldehyde removal module 310 can have a flat structure, and the side with the largest area is close to the heat exchanger 200 to maximize the air sent to the heat exchanger 200 for heat exchange after being purified by the aldehyde removal assembly.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the air conditioner further comprises a panel 140 provided with an air outlet 141, and one end of the second support portion 420 close to the panel 140 is provided with a stop portion 421, which abuts against the second aldehyde removal module 312.

[0057] As shown in Figure 6 The design of the second support portion 420 provides support and fixing functions for various modules inside the air conditioner. One end close to the panel 140 is provided with a stop portion 421, which functions to fix the second aldehyde removal module 312 to a predetermined position, avoiding the displacement or loosening of the aldehyde removal module 310 during the operation of the air conditioner, thereby maintaining the efficient operation of the equipment.

[0058] By adopting the design of the stop portion 421, the assembly complexity of the internal components of the air conditioner is reduced. The stop portion 421 not only ensures the correct positioning of the components, but also reduces the need for other fixing methods, such as additional screws or fixing parts, making the assembly process of the air conditioner more efficient and simple.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, the cross-sectional size of the opening 121 in the first direction is adapted to the cross-sectional size of the aldehyde removal assembly 300 in the second direction, and the first direction is consistent with the second direction.

[0060] As shown in Figures 1-3As shown, the size of the opening 121 is critical when installing the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 inside the air conditioner, because the size of the opening 121 needs to match the size of the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 to be installed, to ensure that the assembly can be placed accurately and stably. Among them, the first direction refers to the position from the side of the opening 121 close to the top plate 130 to the position of the side of the opening 121 close to the first support plate 400; the second direction refers to the position from the side of the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 close to the top plate 130 to the position of the side of the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 close to the first support plate 400 after installation is completed.

[0061] Because the size of the opening 121 and the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 is accurately matched, the assembly process is more smooth. The user or technician can quickly install the formaldehyde removal assembly 300 to the designated position, reducing the maintenance and debugging work caused by improper installation or direction confusion. At the same time, this also simplifies the maintenance process of the equipment.

[0062] Although the utility model discloses as above, the utility model is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, can make various changes and modifications, therefore the protection scope of the utility model should be limited by the range defined in the claims.
