Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an integrated quick-release filter structure and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioner filters, with their honeycomb structure, are widely used in air and wastewater filtration systems. During the spinning stage, antibacterial agents (DEP) and antifungal agents (TBZ) are directly incorporated into the PP resin raw material, giving the filters antibacterial and antifungal properties. After a period of use, air conditioners accumulate a large amount of dust and dirt on the filters, evaporators, and air supply systems, generating numerous bacteria and viruses. These harmful substances circulate indoors with the air, polluting the air, spreading diseases, and seriously endangering human health. Dirt also reduces the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner, increases energy consumption, and shortens its lifespan. Therefore, air conditioners must be cleaned after a period of use or when shut down for seasonal changes. Maintaining the air conditioner filter is crucial for air conditioning units because it directly affects the cleanliness of indoor air; therefore, routine maintenance of the air conditioner filter is a key part of central air conditioning unit maintenance. However, during air conditioner use, there are issues such as inconvenient filter installation and removal, easy dust accumulation, and filter clogging. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, this utility model embodiment provides an integrated quick-release filter structure and air conditioner with a middle frame, which makes the air conditioner filter easy to disassemble and has a stronger ability to block dust and other debris.

This makes the filter assembly easier to install, while also limiting the offset of the filter assembly and ensuring the convenience of the filter assembly installation. At the same time, the splicing method makes the structure simpler and facilitates subsequent maintenance.

[0010] In one embodiment of this utility model, the guide rail assembly further includes: a first mating member disposed on the second body, the first mating member and the first mounting part being detachably connected; and a second mating member used for detachably connecting with a second mating part.

[0011] Compared with the existing technology, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting a detachable connection between the first mating part and the first assembly part, and a detachable connection between the second mating part and the second mating part, the installation and disassembly of the guide rail assembly are made more convenient and faster. At the same time, this method also facilitates the subsequent maintenance and upkeep of the guide rail assembly, and can better reduce costs.

[0012] In one embodiment of this utility model, the filter placement position formed by the first guide groove and the first guide channel is an arc-shaped channel.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting the channel formed between the first guide groove and the first guide channel to be an arc-shaped channel, the installation of the filter assembly can be facilitated, while reducing structural complexity and space occupation, making the internal layout of the air conditioner more reasonable.
