Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioner cleaning equipment, specifically relating to a waterproof cover for air conditioner repair and cleaning that is easy to fold. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, or 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. With the improvement of people's living standards, air conditioners have become an indispensable appliance in daily life and work. During use, dust easily accumulates inside the air conditioner, and bacteria can easily grow. Therefore, to prevent the performance of the air conditioner from deteriorating due to dust and to prevent the air processed by the air conditioner from being contaminated by bacteria, it is usually necessary to clean the air conditioner regularly or irregularly. When cleaning an air conditioner, usually only the outer parts such as the panel are removed, and the entire air conditioner unit is not removed from the ceiling, wall, or other mounting structures. Because the air conditioner is often removed from its installation location, cleaning operations can sometimes contaminate the walls around the air conditioner. This is especially common when cleaning ceiling-mounted air conditioners such as ducted air conditioners. Chinese Patent (Publication No.: CN216132085U) discloses an air conditioner cleaning cover, which includes a cleaning cover body, a waterproof component, a conical pocket, a connecting plate, a transparent water-blocking component, a connector, a drain hose, and a water collection tank.
