Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, for example, to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners are common household appliances and are widely used. However, due to regional differences or differences in household usage habits, air conditioners may not be used for extended periods. This leads to a buildup of dust inside the air conditioner.

[0003] In related technologies, a dust filter is installed at the air inlet of the indoor unit. When the air conditioner is stationary and turned off, the dust filter blocks the air inlet to reduce the amount of dust entering the air conditioner.

[0004] However, during use, because the dust filter is fixed to the air inlet, its structure can affect the air conditioner's air intake efficiency. Furthermore, dust accumulating on the filter over time further reduces air intake efficiency, thus impacting the user experience. Additionally, since indoor units are often mounted high up, cleaning the dust filter becomes more difficult for users. Utility Model Content

[0041] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an air conditioner 1 is provided, including: a housing 10, the housing 10 being provided with an air inlet 11; a dustproof mechanism 20, disposed on the housing 10 and located at the air inlet 11; the dustproof mechanism 20 includes a storage box 21, a dustproof cloth 22, a winding assembly 23, and a driving assembly 24; the storage box 21 includes a storage space 210; the winding assembly 23 is disposed on the storage box 21 and located within the storage space 210; the driving assembly 24 is disposed on the housing 10; and a cleaning mechanism 30, disposed on the storage box 21 and located within the storage space 210, for cleaning the dustproof cloth 22; wherein, a first end of the dustproof cloth 22 is connected to the winding assembly 23, and a second end of the dustproof cloth 22 is connected to the driving assembly 24, the driving assembly 24 is used to drive the dustproof cloth 22 to unfold to block the air inlet 11, and the winding assembly 23 is used to drive the dustproof cloth 22 to retract into the storage space 210 to open the air inlet 11.

[0042] The air conditioner 1 disclosed herein includes a housing 10, a dustproof mechanism 20, and a cleaning mechanism 30. The dustproof mechanism 20 is located at the air inlet 11. The dustproof mechanism 20 is used to cover the air inlet 11 when the air conditioner 1 is not in use, thereby reducing dust entry into the air conditioner 1. The dustproof mechanism 20 includes a storage box 21, a dustproof cloth 22, a winding assembly 23, and a drive assembly 24. The cleaning mechanism 30 is located within the storage box 21 and within the storage space 210. The cleaning mechanism 30 is positioned corresponding to the dustproof cloth 22 and is used to clean the dustproof cloth 22.

[0043] Using the air conditioner 1 provided in this disclosure, when the air conditioner 1 is not in use, the control drive assembly 24 drives the dustproof cloth 22 to unfold, thereby blocking the air inlet 11 and reducing dust entering the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner 1 is in use, the winding assembly 23 drives the dustproof cloth 22 to retract into the storage space 210, thereby opening the air inlet 11. In this way, during the use of the air conditioner 1, the air inlet 11 is unobstructed, improving the air intake efficiency of the air conditioner 1. When the air conditioner is not in use, the dustproof cloth 22 blocks the air inlet 11, thereby preventing dust from falling into the air conditioner 1 and reducing dust entry. Furthermore, by providing a cleaning mechanism 30, dust on the surface of the dustproof cloth 22 can be cleaned, improving the cleanliness of the dustproof cloth 22 and also improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0044] Furthermore, the dustproof mechanism 20 is equipped with a storage box 21, which provides storage space for the dustproof cloth 22. The storage box 21 further enhances the protective effect of the dustproof cloth 22 and reduces the amount of dust accumulation on the dustproof cloth 22.

[0045] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, the dustproof mechanism 20 also includes: a tensioning shaft 25, which is disposed in the storage box 21 and located in the storage space 210. The two ends of the tensioning shaft 25 can rotate relative to the storage box 21, and the dustproof cloth 22 is wrapped around the tensioning shaft 25.

[0046] In this embodiment, a tensioning shaft 25 is provided in the storage box 21, and the dustproof cloth 22 is wound around the tensioning shaft 25. The tensioning shaft 25 is used to ensure that the dustproof cloth 22 maintains a certain tension when unfolded, so as to avoid reducing the dustproof effect due to slackness, and at the same time, it is also conducive to the neat winding of the dustproof cloth 22 during winding.

[0047] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, the dustproof mechanism 20 also includes: a roller 231, the two ends of which are rotatable relative to the storage box 21, and a tensioning shaft 25 is spaced apart from the roller 231, with the first end of the dustproof cloth 22 disposed on the roller 231; and a reset member 232 disposed between the storage box 21 and the roller 231, which is used to drive the roller 231 to rotate toward winding the dustproof cloth 22.

[0048] In this embodiment, a roller 231 is provided to allow the dustproof cloth 22 to be wound and unwound. The ability to rotate at both ends makes the winding and unwinding of the dustproof cloth 22 smoother. By driving the roller 231 to rotate, the dustproof cloth 22 can be unwound and retracted, ensuring that the dustproof cloth 22 completely covers the air inlet 11 when it is blocked, and does not affect the normal use of the air inlet 11 when it is retracted. Furthermore, the tensioning shaft 25 is spaced apart from the roller 231 to ensure that the dustproof cloth 22 maintains a certain tension when unwound, preventing dust from passing through or the dustproof cloth 22 from falling off due to loose fabric. The reset member 232 drives the roller 231 to rotate in the direction of winding the dustproof cloth 22, so that the dustproof cloth 22 can be evenly wound on the roller 231 when retracted, allowing the roller 231 to return to its initial position.

[0049] Optionally, the reset member 232 includes two torsion springs located at both ends of the scroll 231; one end of the torsion spring is connected to the storage box 21, and the other end of the torsion spring is connected to the scroll 231.

[0050] In this embodiment, the torsion spring acts as a reset element 232. When the dustproof cloth 22 retracts, the natural torsional force of the torsion spring drives the roller 231 to rotate, automatically winding the dustproof cloth 22 onto the roller 231. The structure is simple and easy to implement. The two torsion springs are located at both ends of the roller 231, providing a balanced torque to ensure that the roller 231 remains stable during rotation, avoiding tilting of the roller 231 or uneven winding of the dustproof cloth 22 due to torque imbalance.

[0051] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, the dustproof mechanism 20 also includes: a movable rod 26, which is connected to the drive assembly 24, and the other end of the dustproof cloth 22 is disposed on the movable rod 26; wherein, the drive assembly 24 is used to drive the movable rod 26 to move so as to unfold the dustproof cloth 22.

[0052] In this embodiment, by providing a movable rod 26 at the second end of the dustproof cloth 22, the stability of the dustproof cloth 22 during unfolding and retraction is improved. Furthermore, by driving the movement of the movable rod 26, the drive assembly 24 can flexibly adjust the unfolding degree of the dustproof cloth 22 according to the working status of the air conditioner 1 and user needs, thereby achieving different levels of dustproof effect.

[0053] Optionally, the drive assembly 24 includes a drive motor 241 and a transmission mechanism. The drive motor 241 is disposed in the housing 10, and a drive gear 242 is sleeved on the output end of the drive motor 241. The transmission mechanism is connected to the drive gear 242 in a transmission connection. Both ends of the movable rod 26 are connected to the transmission mechanism.

[0054] In this embodiment, the drive motor 241 transmits power precisely to the movable rod 26 through the transmission mechanism, ensuring that the unfolding and retraction of the dustproof cloth 22 is smooth and powerful.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes: a first driven gear 244 disposed in the housing 10; a second driven gear 245 disposed in the housing 10; and a transmission belt 243, which is wound around the drive gear 242, the first driven gear 244, and the second driven gear 245. The inner ring of the transmission belt 243 is provided with teeth, which mesh with the drive gear 242, the first driven gear 244, and the second driven gear 245. When the drive motor 241 runs, the drive gear 242 rotates, and the drive gear 242 drives the transmission belt 243 to rotate, thereby causing the first driven gear 244 and the second driven gear 245 to rotate, which in turn causes the movable rod 26 to move.

[0056] In this embodiment, the drive motor 241 transmits power to the first driven gear 244 and the second driven gear 245 via the drive gear 242 and the transmission belt 243. This transmission method provides a smooth and reliable driving force, ensuring smooth unfolding and retraction of the dustproof cloth 22. The inner ring of the transmission belt 243 is provided with teeth that mesh with the gears. This meshing method reduces sliding friction, lowers energy loss, and improves transmission efficiency. The drive motor 241 can precisely control its rotational speed, thereby precisely controlling the transmission speed of the transmission belt 243, and further precisely controlling the moving speed of the movable rod 26, achieving precise unfolding and retraction of the dustproof cloth 22.

[0057] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, a motor bracket 12 is provided on the housing 10 for mounting the motor.

[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 2 As shown, a gear bracket 13 is provided on the housing 10. The first driven gear 244 and the second driven gear 245 are both mounted on the gear bracket 13 and are rotatable relative to it. By providing a direct gear arrangement, the stability of the mounting of the first driven gear 244 and the second driven gear 245 is improved.
