Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and more particularly to a cabinet-type air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow within a building or structure. To meet the needs of daily life, some air conditioners have a fresh air function, which can transfer outdoor air into the room. Among them, a cabinet-type air conditioner is a type of air conditioner that is usually placed on the floor or on a dedicated air conditioner cabinet.

[0003] An air conditioner typically consists of a casing, inside which are a fan, a heat exchanger, and a filter. The casing has an air inlet and an air outlet. The fan draws air in through the inlet, and the air is cooled by the heat exchanger before being discharged through the outlet. The filter, located at the air inlet, is used to remove particles and dust from the air.

[0004] In existing technologies, excessive dust accumulation on the filter screen can lead to poor air intake performance. If cleaning is required, the filter screen needs to be manually removed or the housing opened for cleaning, which is complicated and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model solves, to at least a certain extent, one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0006] Therefore, this application aims to provide a cabinet air conditioner that achieves automatic filter cleaning through a cleaning structure. This design ensures that the filter remains clean during long-term use, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption increases caused by filter clogging. Simultaneously, the automatic cleaning function reduces the frequency and labor intensity of manual filter cleaning by users, enhancing the user experience. It solves the technical problems of complex operation and inconvenient cleaning in existing technologies.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cabinet-type air conditioner, comprising:

[0008] The housing has an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0009] An indoor heat exchanger is disposed within the housing;

[0010] An indoor fan, wherein the indoor fan is disposed within the housing;

[0011] A filter screen, which is disposed inside the housing and covers the air inlet;

[0012] Cleaning structure, the cleaning structure comprising:

[0013] A rack is disposed on the housing and near the air inlet, and the length direction of the rack is the same as the length direction of the housing;

[0014] Mounting bracket, which is slidably connected to the rack along the length direction of the rack;

[0015] A first driving component is disposed on the mounting bracket;

[0016] A first gear meshes with the rack, and the first driving member is used to drive the first gear to rotate.

[0017] A first brush, the first brush being disposed on the mounting bracket;

[0018] The first driving member drives the first gear to rotate so that the mounting bracket moves along the length of the rack, and the first brush is used to contact and clean the filter screen.

[0019] The technical solution achieves automatic filter cleaning by incorporating a rack, mounting bracket, first drive component, first gear, and first brush. This design ensures the filter remains clean during long-term use, improving heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption caused by filter clogging. Simultaneously, the automatic cleaning function reduces the frequency and effort required for manual filter cleaning, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the integrated cleaning mechanism with the main air conditioner unit saves space and maximizes space utilization.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the first gear is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket; the output end of the first drive member is connected to a first transmission gear, and the first transmission gear meshes with the first gear.

[0021] In this technical solution, the design of this transmission structure ensures that the power of the first driving component is stably and reliably transmitted to the first gear. Gear transmission enables precise motion control, guaranteeing smooth movement of the mounting bracket along the length of the rack. Compared to other transmission methods, gear transmission offers advantages such as high transmission efficiency and accurate transmission ratio, ensuring that the cleaning structure operates along a predetermined trajectory and speed, thereby cleaning the filter more effectively and improving cleaning performance and reliability. Furthermore, this design allows the first driving component to be positioned away from the first gear, avoiding interference caused by the first driving component contacting the housing.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the pitch circle diameter of the first transmission gear is smaller than the pitch circle diameter of the first gear.

[0023] In this technical solution, this design creates a speed reduction transmission effect. During power transmission, it increases torque output. When the power output from the first drive component is transmitted to the first gear through the first transmission gear, the rotational speed of the first gear decreases relatively due to its larger diameter, but the torque increases accordingly. This can be achieved using a first drive component with lower torque. Furthermore, the mounting bracket can overcome greater resistance during movement, such as the friction between the filter and the first brush, and the friction between the rack and the mounting bracket, ensuring that the mounting bracket can move smoothly and powerfully along the rack. This allows the first brush to clean the filter more effectively, improving cleaning stability and reliability.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a second driving member, which is used to drive the first brush to rotate.

[0025] In this technical solution, the stationary first brush can only perform simple scraping of dust on the filter surface, while the rotating first brush can clean the filter more thoroughly and deeply. The rotating first brush can contact the filter from different angles and directions, removing dust from different locations and depths, thus improving the thoroughness of the cleaning. Furthermore, by adjusting the rotation speed of the second drive component, the rotation speed of the first brush can be flexibly adjusted according to the degree of dirt on the filter to achieve the best cleaning effect and better meet different usage needs.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the output end of the second drive member is connected to a second transmission gear, the second transmission gear meshes with a second gear, and the second gear is coaxially connected to the first brush.

[0027] In this technical solution, the gear transmission structure stably transmits the power of the second driving component to the first brush, enabling the first brush to rotate. Gear transmission features high transmission precision and efficiency, ensuring the first brush rotates at a predetermined speed and direction, thus achieving efficient cleaning of the filter screen. Simultaneously, gear transmission boasts high reliability, maintaining stable transmission performance during prolonged operation, reducing malfunctions, and improving the service life and stability of the cleaning structure. Furthermore, the second driving component can be decoaxial with the first brush, avoiding interference issues caused by the second driving component contacting the housing.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the pitch circle diameter of the second gear is smaller than the pitch circle diameter of the second transmission gear.

[0029] In this technical solution, the transmission ratio between the second transmission gear and the second gear is less than 1, allowing the first brush to rotate at a faster speed, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. The rapidly rotating first brush can more effectively strike and loosen dust and impurities on the filter surface, making them easier to remove. This high-speed rotation design is particularly suitable for removing stubborn stains, effectively reducing cleaning time while ensuring the filter surface is thoroughly cleaned, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange efficiency and air quality.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is further provided with a second brush, the second brush is connected to the mounting bracket, the first brush and the second brush are coaxially arranged, and the first brush and the second brush are respectively located on both sides of the rack.

[0031] The technical solution incorporates two brushes to increase the cleaning range.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, the mounting bracket is provided with a third driving member, the output end of the third driving member is connected to a third transmission gear, the third transmission gear meshes with a third gear, and the third gear is coaxially connected to the second brush.

[0033] In this technical solution, the design achieves independent drive for the second brush. Through an independent drive system, the rotation speed and direction of the second brush can be flexibly controlled according to actual needs. Different levels of filter contamination may require different cleaning methods; independently driven second brushes can better adapt to these changes, improving the targeting and effectiveness of cleaning. Simultaneously, independent drive also allows the movements of the first and second brushes to coordinate, achieving more complex and efficient cleaning actions, further enhancing the cleaning quality of the filter.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the pitch circle diameter of the third gear is smaller than the pitch circle diameter of the third transmission gear.

[0035] In this technical solution, the transmission ratio between the third transmission gear and the second gear is less than 1, allowing the second brush to rotate at a faster speed, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. The rapidly rotating second brush can more effectively strike and loosen dust and impurities on the filter surface, making them easier to remove. This high-speed rotation design is particularly suitable for removing stubborn stains, effectively reducing cleaning time while ensuring the filter surface is thoroughly cleaned, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange efficiency and air quality.

[0036] In addition, this application also provides a cabinet-type air conditioner, which includes:

[0037] The housing has an air inlet and an air outlet;

[0038] An indoor heat exchanger is disposed within the housing;

[0039] An indoor fan, wherein the indoor fan is disposed within the housing;

[0040] A filter screen, which is disposed inside the housing and covers the air inlet;

[0041] Cleaning structure, the cleaning structure comprising:

[0042] A rack is disposed on the housing and near the air inlet, and the length direction of the rack is the same as the width direction of the housing;

[0043] Mounting bracket, which is slidably connected to the rack along the length direction of the rack;

[0044] A first driving component is disposed on the mounting bracket;

[0045] A first gear meshes with the rack, and the first driving member is used to drive the first gear to rotate.

[0046] A first brush, the first brush being disposed on the mounting bracket;

[0047] The first driving member drives the first gear to rotate so that the mounting bracket moves along the length of the rack, and the first brush is used to contact and clean the filter screen.

[0048] The technical solution achieves automatic filter cleaning by incorporating a rack, mounting bracket, first drive component, first gear, and first brush. This design ensures the filter remains clean during long-term use, improving heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption caused by filter clogging. Simultaneously, the automatic cleaning function reduces the frequency and effort required for manual filter cleaning, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the integrated cleaning mechanism with the main air conditioner unit saves space and maximizes space utilization.

[0065] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0066] In this application, the cabinet air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit includes a casing, an indoor heat exchanger, and an indoor fan. The indoor heat exchanger and indoor fan are housed within the casing. The outdoor unit includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an outdoor fan, and a compressor. The compressor circulates refrigerant within the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers. Under the action of the indoor fan, indoor air enters the casing, exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger, and is then discharged into the room. The refrigerant that has undergone heat exchange in the indoor heat exchanger flows into the outdoor unit, where, under the action of the outdoor fan, the heat from the refrigerant is exchanged with the outdoor heat exchanger, achieving a circulation.

[0067] In the following, embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] Please refer to all the accompanying drawings. In one illustrative embodiment of the cabinet-type air conditioner of this utility model, the cabinet-type air conditioner includes: a housing 100, which has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet.

[0069] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner also includes an indoor heat exchanger, which is disposed within the casing 100. The indoor heat exchanger is the core heat exchange component of the cabinet air conditioner, and its main function is to regulate temperature through heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air. In cooling mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and evaporates, lowering the air temperature; in heating mode, the refrigerant releases heat and condenses, raising the air temperature, thereby meeting the cooling or heating needs of the indoor environment.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner further includes an indoor fan, which is disposed inside the housing 100. Under the action of the indoor fan, air enters the housing 100 through the air inlet 101 and exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger before being output to the room through the air outlet, thereby regulating the indoor temperature.

[0071] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner also includes a filter screen disposed within the housing 100 and covering the air inlet 101. The filter screen is used to prevent dust, impurities, and other contaminants from entering the air conditioner, reducing component wear and mold growth, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0072] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner also includes a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the filter. This automatic cleaning mechanism eliminates the need for user intervention, reduces the frequency of filter replacement, and improves the user experience.

[0073] In some embodiments, the cleaning structure includes a rack 200 and a mounting bracket 300. The rack 200 is disposed on the housing 100 and near the air inlet 101, and the length direction of the rack 200 is the same as the length direction of the housing 100. The mounting bracket 300 is slidably connected to the rack 200 along the length direction of the rack 200. The rack 200 defines the direction of movement for the mounting bracket 300.

[0074] In some embodiments, the cleaning structure further includes a first drive member 400, a first gear 600, and a first brush 110. The first drive member 400 is disposed on the mounting bracket 300. The first gear 600 meshes with a rack 200, and the first drive member 400 drives the first gear 600 to rotate. The first brush 110 is disposed on the mounting bracket 300. The first drive member 400 drives the first gear 600 to rotate, causing the mounting bracket 300 to move along the length of the rack 200, and the first brush 110 is used to contact and clean the filter screen.

[0075] The above-described solution, through the arrangement of rack 200, mounting bracket 300, first drive component 400, first gear 600, and first brush 110, achieves an automatic filter cleaning function. This design ensures that the filter remains in good clean condition during long-term use, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption increases caused by filter clogging. Simultaneously, the automatic cleaning function reduces the frequency and labor intensity of manual filter cleaning, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the cleaning structure is integrated with the main air conditioner unit, occupying no extra space and achieving high space utilization.

[0076] In some embodiments, a grille is provided at the air outlet of the housing 100, and a rack 200 is provided on the grille to facilitate the brush to clean the filter screen through the gaps in the grille.

[0077] In some embodiments, the length of the rack 200 is at least greater than the length of the air inlet 101, and the rack 200 covers the air inlet 101 to ensure that the cleaning structure can clean the filter over a wide area.

[0078] In some embodiments, the length of the rack 200 outside the air inlet 101 is not less than the width of the mounting bracket 300 along the length of the rack 200. When the cleaning structure is not in use, the cleaning structure can be moved to an area outside the air inlet 101 where the rack 200 is located. This ensures that the cleaning structure does not obstruct the air inlet 101, thereby ensuring the airflow that enters the housing 100 through the air inlet 101.

[0079] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 300 is provided with a slider, and the rack 200 has a sliding groove on its side, which is provided along the length of the rack 200. The slider is slidably connected in the sliding groove, thereby realizing the sliding connection between the mounting bracket 300 and the rack 200.

[0080] In some embodiments, a groove is formed on the mounting bracket 300, and a slider is disposed on the rack 200. The length of the slider is the same as the length of the rack 200, which can also realize the sliding connection between the mounting bracket 300 and the rack 200.

[0081] In some embodiments, a groove may be formed on the housing 100, and the slider on the mounting bracket 300 slides on the groove of the housing 100 to achieve the effect of the mounting bracket 300 sliding along the length direction of the rack 200.

[0082] In some embodiments, the slide can be provided on the mounting bracket 300, and the slider is disposed on the housing 100 along the length direction of the rack 200, so as to achieve the effect of the mounting bracket 300 sliding along the length direction of the rack 200.

[0083] In some embodiments, the sliding connection between the mounting bracket 300 and the rack 200 can also be achieved through structures such as sliding bearings, slides, linear motors, cylinders, and guide rods.

[0084] In some embodiments, the first gear 600 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 300; the output end of the first drive member 400 is connected to a first transmission gear 500, which meshes with the first gear 600. This transmission structure design allows the power of the first drive member 400 to be stably and reliably transmitted to the first gear 600. Through gear transmission, precise motion control can be achieved, ensuring that the mounting bracket 300 moves smoothly along the length of the rack 200. Compared with other transmission methods, gear transmission has the advantages of high transmission efficiency and accurate transmission ratio, ensuring that the cleaning structure runs along a predetermined trajectory and speed, thereby cleaning the filter screen more effectively and improving cleaning effect and reliability. Furthermore, through this design, the first drive member 400 can be decoupled from the first gear 600, thus avoiding interference caused by the first drive member 400 contacting the housing 100.

[0085] The specific working process is as follows: the first driving component 400 drives the first transmission gear 500 to rotate, the first transmission gear 500 meshes with the first gear 600 to drive the first gear 600 to rotate, and the first gear 600 meshes with the rack 200, so that the mounting bracket 300 and the structure on the mounting bracket 300 move together along the length direction of the rack 200. The direction of movement of the cleaning structure can be changed according to the forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft of the first driving component 400.

[0086] It is worth noting that the first transmission gear 500 may not be provided; the gear 600 may mesh with the rack 200.

[0087] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameter of the first transmission gear 500 is smaller than that of the first gear 600. This design creates a speed reduction transmission effect. During power transmission, the torque output can be increased. When the power output by the first drive member 400 is transmitted to the first gear 600 through the first transmission gear 500, its rotational speed will be relatively reduced due to the larger diameter of the first gear 600, but the torque will increase accordingly. This can be achieved by using a first drive member 400 with a smaller torque. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 300 can overcome greater resistance during movement, such as the friction between the filter screen and the first brush 110, and the friction between the rack 200 and the mounting bracket 300, ensuring that the mounting bracket 300 can move smoothly and powerfully along the rack 200, thereby enabling the first brush 110 to clean the filter screen more effectively and improving the stability and reliability of cleaning.

[0088] The pitch circle refers to the circle on a gear that has a standard module and pressure angle. It can also be considered that the diameter of the pitch circle is the reference diameter of the gear. This is common knowledge in the mechanical field, so it will not be elaborated further.

[0089] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameter of the first transmission gear 500 is larger than that of the first gear 600. This design creates an effect of accelerated transmission. A high-torque, low-speed first drive element 400 can be used.

[0090] In some embodiments, a second drive member 700 is provided on the mounting bracket 300, which drives the first brush 110 to rotate. A stationary first brush 110 can only perform simple scraping of dust on the filter surface, while a rotating first brush 110 can clean the filter more thoroughly and deeply. The rotating first brush 110 can contact the filter from different angles and directions, brushing off dust at different locations and depths on the filter, improving the thoroughness of the cleaning. Moreover, by adjusting the rotation speed of the second drive member 700, the rotation speed of the first brush 110 can be flexibly adjusted according to the degree of dirt on the filter to achieve the best cleaning effect and better meet different usage needs.

[0091] In some embodiments, the output end of the second drive member 700 is connected to a second transmission gear 800, which meshes with a second gear 900. The second gear 900 is coaxially connected to the first brush 110. This gear transmission structure can stably transmit the power of the second drive member 700 to the first brush 110, enabling the first brush 110 to rotate. Gear transmission features high transmission accuracy and high transmission efficiency, ensuring that the first brush 110 rotates at a predetermined speed and direction, thereby achieving efficient cleaning of the filter screen. Simultaneously, gear transmission has high reliability, maintaining stable transmission performance during long-term operation, reducing the occurrence of malfunctions, and improving the service life and stability of the cleaning structure. Furthermore, the second drive member 700 may not be coaxially arranged with the first brush 110, thus avoiding interference caused by the second drive member 700 contacting the housing 100.

[0092] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameter of the second gear 900 is smaller than that of the second transmission gear 800. The transmission ratio between the second transmission gear 800 and the second gear 900 is less than 1, resulting in a faster rotation speed of the first brush 110 and significantly improved cleaning efficiency. The rapidly rotating first brush 110 can more effectively strike and loosen dust and impurities on the filter surface, making them easier to remove. This high-speed rotation design is particularly suitable for removing stubborn stains, effectively reducing cleaning time while ensuring the filter surface is thoroughly cleaned, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and air quality of the air conditioner.

[0093] In some embodiments, a second brush 150 is also provided on the mounting bracket 300. The second brush 150 is connected to the mounting bracket 300. The first brush 110 and the second brush 150 are coaxially arranged, and the first brush 110 and the second brush 150 are respectively located on both sides of the rack 200.

[0094] In some embodiments, the rack 200 is disposed in the middle of the air inlet 101, and the filter screen is cleaned by both the first brush 110 and the second brush 150 to improve the cleaning range.

[0095] In some embodiments, the rack 200 is equidistant from both sides of the air inlet 101 in the width direction. This ensures that the mounting bracket 300 is located at the middle of the air inlet 101 in the width direction, and the filter screen in the areas on both sides of the rack 200 is cleaned by the first brush 110 and the second brush 150, respectively.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first brush 110 and the second brush 150 may be of the same length. The first brush 110 and the second brush 150 may be of the same type.

[0097] In some embodiments, a third drive member 120 is provided on the mounting bracket 300. The output end of the third drive member 120 is connected to a third transmission gear 130, which meshes with a third gear 140. The third gear 140 is coaxially connected to the second brush 150. This design enables independent driving of the second brush 150. Through an independent drive system, the rotation speed and direction of the second brush 150 can be flexibly controlled according to actual needs. Different levels of filter dirt may require different cleaning methods; independently driving the second brush 150 can better adapt to these changes, improving the targeting and effectiveness of cleaning. Simultaneously, independent driving also allows the movements of the first brush 110 and the second brush 150 to coordinate, achieving more complex and efficient cleaning actions, further improving the cleaning quality of the filter.

[0098] In some embodiments, the pitch circle diameter of the third gear 140 is smaller than that of the third transmission gear 130. The transmission ratio between the third transmission gear 130 and the third gear 140 is less than 1, allowing the second brush 150 to rotate at a faster speed, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. The rapidly rotating second brush 150 can more effectively strike and loosen dust and impurities on the filter surface, making them easier to remove. This high-speed rotation design is particularly suitable for removing stubborn stains, effectively reducing cleaning time while ensuring the filter surface is thoroughly cleaned, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange efficiency and air quality.

[0099] In some embodiments, the cleaning structure further includes a housing 160, which is disposed on the mounting bracket 300. The first brush 110, the second brush 150, the first drive member 400, the second drive member 700, the third drive member 120, the first gear 600, the second gear 900, the third gear 140, the first transmission gear 500, the second transmission gear 800, and the third transmission gear 130 are all located within the housing 160. The housing 160 protects the internal components of the cleaning structure from damage and improves its aesthetics.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first drive member 400, the second drive member 700, and the third drive member 120 can be structures such as motors or electric motors.

[0101] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 300 is formed by connecting multiple mounting portions to fix the first drive member 400, the second drive member 700, the third drive member 120, the first gear 600, the second gear 900, the third gear 140, the first transmission gear 500, the second transmission gear 800, and the third transmission gear 130 on the mounting portions.

[0102] In some embodiments, a dust collection box 170 is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 300 to collect the dust that has been cleaned.

[0103] In addition, this application also provides a cabinet air conditioner, which includes a housing 100, and the housing 100 has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet.

[0104] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner also includes an indoor heat exchanger, which is disposed within the casing 100. The indoor heat exchanger is the core heat exchange component of the cabinet air conditioner, and its main function is to regulate temperature through heat exchange between the refrigerant and the air. In cooling mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and evaporates, lowering the air temperature; in heating mode, the refrigerant releases heat and condenses, raising the air temperature, thereby meeting the cooling or heating needs of the indoor environment.

[0105] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner further includes an indoor fan, which is disposed inside the housing 100. Under the action of the indoor fan, air enters the housing 100 through the air inlet 101 and exchanges heat with the indoor heat exchanger before being output to the room through the air outlet, thereby regulating the indoor temperature.

[0106] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner also includes a filter screen disposed within the housing 100 and covering the air inlet 101. The filter screen is used to prevent dust, impurities, and other contaminants from entering the air conditioner, reducing component wear and mold growth, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0107] In some embodiments, the cabinet air conditioner also includes a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the filter. This automatic cleaning mechanism eliminates the need for user intervention, reduces the frequency of filter replacement, and improves the user experience.

[0108] In some embodiments, the cleaning structure further includes a rack 200 and a mounting bracket 300. The rack 200 is disposed on the housing 100 and near the air inlet 101, and the length direction of the rack 200 is the same as the width direction of the housing 100. The mounting bracket 300 is slidably connected to the rack 200 along the length direction of the rack 200.

[0109] In some embodiments, the cleaning structure further includes a first drive member 400, a first gear 600, and a first brush 110. The first drive member 400 is disposed on the mounting bracket 300. The first gear 600 meshes with a rack 200, and the first drive member 400 drives the first gear 600 to rotate. The first brush 110 is disposed on the mounting bracket 300. The first drive member 400 drives the first gear 600 to rotate, causing the mounting bracket 300 to move along the length of the rack 200, and the first brush 110 is used to contact and clean the filter screen.

[0110] The above-described solution, through the arrangement of rack 200, mounting bracket 300, first drive component 400, first gear 600, and first brush 110, achieves an automatic filter cleaning function. This design ensures that the filter remains in good clean condition during long-term use, thereby improving the air conditioner's heat exchange efficiency and reducing energy consumption increases caused by filter clogging. Simultaneously, the automatic cleaning function reduces the frequency and labor intensity of manual filter cleaning, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the cleaning structure is integrated with the main air conditioner unit, occupying no extra space and achieving high space utilization.

[0111] In some embodiments, the distances from both sides of the rack 200 to the two ends of the air inlet 101 along its length are the same. The mounting bracket 300 also includes a second brush 150, which is coaxial with the first brush 110. The second brush 150 and the first brush 110 are located in the areas on both sides of the rack 200, and both the second brush 150 and the first brush 110 are used to clean the filter.

[0112] It is worth noting that the remaining structures in the above scheme are the same as those in the other embodiments described above.

[0113] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
