Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration and air conditioning technology, specifically a refrigeration and air conditioning vent cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] The outdoor unit of an air conditioner is a crucial component of the air conditioning system, primarily responsible for transferring indoor heat to the outdoors via refrigerant, thereby achieving a cooling effect. The outdoor unit consists of a casing and internal components such as the condenser, compressor, and cooling fan. Air inlets and outlets are located on the front and rear sides of the casing. Currently, air conditioner outdoor units are generally installed outdoors, especially in residential and commercial buildings, where they are typically installed at low-lying entrances. In areas with harsh outdoor environments, outdoor dust can easily enter the condenser, compressor, or cooling fan through the air inlets, affecting the performance of the outdoor unit.
[0003] Existing casings have filters installed at the air inlet to address dust accumulation within the casing. However, with prolonged use, dust accumulates on the air inlet filter, affecting the airflow and consequently impacting heat dissipation. Current cleaning methods involve disassembling the outdoor unit's casing and then cleaning the filter. This method is inconvenient, requiring considerable time and effort for ordinary users, and carries the risk of damaging the outdoor unit during disassembly. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides a refrigeration and air conditioning vent cleaning device.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A refrigeration air conditioner air vent cleaning device, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner includes a housing, one side of the housing has an air inlet group, including two cleaning units symmetrically arranged on the inner and outer sides of the air inlet group, each cleaning unit includes an adjustment plate, the adjustment plate is horizontally arranged, the two sides of the adjustment plate slide on the housing along the length direction, the sliding direction is vertical, the side of the adjustment plate near the air inlet group is provided with a cleaning part along its length direction, the length of the cleaning part is longer than the total length of the air inlet group arranged in the horizontal direction;
[0007] The cleaning component includes a cleaning plate and a bristle assembly mounted thereon. The bristle assembly is positioned near the air inlet assembly. The cleaning plate is detachably connected to the adjustment plate.
[0008] The vertical distance between the two adjustment plates is adjustable.
[0009] Two cleaning units are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the housing near the air inlet assembly. The two cleaning units can move up and down on the air inlet assembly and clean multiple air inlets of the air inlet assembly through the brush bristles of the cleaning units. Manual operation can reduce the cost of using automatic lifting cleaning equipment, reduce the space occupied by the cleaning units inside the air conditioner outdoor unit, and make it convenient for users to clean the air conditioner outdoor unit with a low installation position at any time. It is convenient and quick, and does not require stopping the air conditioner operation. The vertical distance between the two adjustment plates is adjustable, and the distance between the two brush bristle groups can be adjusted after the brush bristle groups wear down.
[0010] The connection structure between the adjustment plate and the cleaning component described above has a groove along its length on the adjustment plate and a matching slide bar on one side of the cleaning component. The slide bar slides in the groove, and the cleaning plate and the adjustment plate are detachably connected. This allows the cleaning component to be quickly disassembled and replaced after the brush bristles of the cleaning component have worn to a certain extent, and this replacement method does not affect the up and down movement of the cleaning component.
[0011] The structure that allows the adjustment plates of the two cleaning units to move up and down is as follows: the housing is provided with vertical rails on opposite sides of the air inlet group, the length of the vertical rails is longer than the height of the air inlet group, and the ends of the two adjustment plates on the same side are slidably connected to the vertical rails through adjustment components.
[0012] The specific structure of the adjusting component is as follows: the adjusting component is a double-ended bolt with opposite thread directions on both sides. The ends of the two adjusting plates on the same side are connected by double-ended bolts passing through the vertical rail. The ends of the two adjusting plates on the same side are respectively threaded to the corresponding double-ended bolts. By rotating the double-ended bolts, the two adjusting plates can move closer or further apart, so that after the brush bristles of the brush bristle set wear and become shorter, the two sets of brush bristle sets can be brought closer together by adjusting the double-ended bolts.
[0013] To facilitate the rotation of the double-ended bolt, an outwardly extending adjusting shaft is provided at one end of the double-ended bolt located on the outside of the housing. The axis of the adjusting shaft is coaxial with the axis of the double-ended bolt, and a polygonal adjusting block is provided at the end of the adjusting shaft away from the housing.
[0014] The specific structure of the above-mentioned bristle assembly is as follows: the bristle assembly includes several bristles arranged on the cleaning plate, the air inlet assembly includes several air inlets arranged in a matrix, and the length of the bristles is greater than the thickness of the shell.
[0015] To facilitate the storage of the two cleaning units when not in use, a through hole is provided at the upper end of the vertical track, which is horizontally positioned along its length. The width and height of the through hole are both greater than the outer diameter of the double-ended bolt.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] Two cleaning units are symmetrically arranged on the inner and outer sides of the air inlet group, that is, on the inner and outer sides of the housing. The adjustment plates of the two cleaning units are used to install cleaning plates with brush bristles. The two adjustment plates can be connected by adjustment parts and can move up and down in the housing, driving the two sets of oppositely arranged brush bristles to move up and down in multiple air inlets, thereby cleaning dust and other impurities from the air inlets.
[0018] The cleaning plate and the adjustment plate are detachably connected, which makes it easy to remove and replace the cleaning plate along the groove of the adjustment plate when the bristles are severely worn.
[0019] The adjustment plates of the two cleaning units are connected on the same side by double-ended bolts. That is, the adjustment plates of the two cleaning units are connected by two double-ended bolts. By tightening or loosening the double-ended bolts, the brush bristles of the two cleaning plates can be moved closer or further apart. After the brush bristles wear to a certain extent, adjusting the double-ended bolts will bring the brush bristles of the two cleaning plates closer together without affecting the cleaning of the air inlet. When it is necessary to disassemble the cleaning plates, adjusting the double-ended bolts will move the two cleaning plates apart, making it easy to disassemble the two cleaning units one by one.
[0020] When the two cleaning units are not in use, the two double-ended bolts are placed on the corresponding through holes. The two cleaning units are located on the upper part of the air inlet assembly, which makes them easy to store and reduces dust accumulation compared to placing them on the lower part of the air inlet assembly.

The cleaning device in this embodiment includes two cleaning units symmetrically arranged on the inner and outer sides of the air inlet group. Each cleaning unit includes an adjustment plate 2. The adjustment plate 2 is horizontally arranged and slides on both sides of the housing 1 along the length direction. The sliding direction is vertical. The side of the adjustment plate 2 near the air inlet group is provided with a cleaning component along its length direction. The length of the cleaning component is longer than the total length of the air inlet group arranged in the horizontal direction.
[0033] See Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning component includes a cleaning plate 3 and a bristle assembly disposed thereon. The bristle assembly is disposed near the air inlet assembly, and the cleaning plate 3 is detachably connected to the adjusting plate 2. The specific structure of the bristle assembly is as follows: the bristle assembly includes several bristles 4 arranged on the cleaning plate 3, and the air inlet assembly includes several air inlets 11 arranged in a matrix. The length of the bristles 4 is greater than the thickness of the housing 1.
[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the structure in which the adjusting plates 2 of the two cleaning units can move up and down is as follows: the housing 1 is provided with vertical rails 12 located on opposite sides of the air inlet group. The length of the vertical rails 12 is longer than the height of the air inlet group. The ends of the two adjusting plates 2 located on the same side are slidably connected in the vertical rails 12 through adjusting parts, and can move up and down in the housing 1, driving the two sets of oppositely arranged brushes 4 to move up and down in multiple air inlets 11, thereby cleaning the dust and other impurities coming out of the air inlets 11.
[0035] Two cleaning units are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the housing 1 near the air inlet group. The two cleaning units can move up and down on the air inlet group and clean the multiple air inlets 11 of the air inlet group through the brush bristles of the cleaning units. Manual operation can reduce the cost of using automatic lifting cleaning equipment, reduce the space occupied by the cleaning units inside the air conditioner outdoor unit, and make it convenient for users to clean the air conditioner outdoor unit with a low setting at any time. It is convenient and quick, and does not require stopping the air conditioner operation. The vertical distance between the two adjustment plates 2 is adjustable, and the distance between the two brush bristle groups can be adjusted after the brush bristle groups wear out.

The ends of the two adjusting plates 2 on the same side are respectively threaded to the corresponding double-ended bolts 5. By rotating the double-ended bolts 5, the two adjusting plates 2 can move closer or further apart. This allows the two sets of brush bristles to move closer together after the brush bristles 4 wear down and become shorter, without affecting the cleaning of the air inlet 11. When it is necessary to disassemble the cleaning plate 3, the double-ended bolts 5 are adjusted to move the two cleaning plates 3 further apart, making it easier to disassemble the two cleaning units one by one. To facilitate the rotation of the double-ended bolts 5, an outwardly extending adjusting shaft 6 is provided at one end of the double-ended bolt 5 located outside the housing 1.
