Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioner with an easy-to-clean water distributor structure. Background Technology

[0002] Energy-saving air conditioners operate on the principle of "water evaporation efficiency," a natural physical phenomenon: when hot air passes through a wet curtain with an actual heat exchange area 100 times larger than the area of ​​water evaporation, a large amount of its heat is absorbed by the air, thus achieving air cooling. Energy-saving air conditioners require a water distributor to evenly distribute water from the source to different air conditioning units or areas, ensuring that each part receives an adequate amount of water, thereby achieving a uniform cooling or heating effect.

[0003] After a period of use, the water distributor installed on existing air conditioners is prone to the formation of a large amount of scale on the main body of the water distributor. Traditional cleaning methods usually require professional tools and complicated disassembly steps to clean the water distributor, which is very troublesome and seriously reduces the cleaning efficiency of the water distributor.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3-4 An air conditioner with an easy-to-clean water distributor structure includes an installation port opened at the front of the air conditioner body 1 and an air conditioner air guide 2 installed in the installation port.

[0026] In this embodiment, a self-cleaning water distributor is provided at the rear of the air conditioner body 1. The self-cleaning water distributor includes a water distributor body 3, a pipe assembly, an electric cleaning assembly, and a self-cleaning filter assembly.

[0027] Specifically, the piping assembly includes multiple branch pipes 4 that are fixedly connected to one side of the water distributor body 3 and are distributed at equal distances, an inlet pipe 5 that is fixedly connected to the upper part of the other side of the water distributor body 3, a cleaning agent filling pipe 6 that is fixedly connected to the top of the inlet pipe 5, and a drain pipe 7 that is fixedly connected to the lower part of the other side of the water distributor body 3. One end of each of the multiple branch pipes 4 is fixedly connected to the air conditioner body 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a drain solenoid valve 12 is installed on the drain pipe 7, and a water inlet solenoid valve 11 is installed on all the liquid inlet pipes 5. A cleaning controller 13 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the water distributor body 3. The drain solenoid valve 12, all the water inlet solenoid valves 11 and the motor 8 are electrically connected to the cleaning controller 13. A flange is fixedly installed on one side of the liquid inlet pipe 5, and a sealing cap is screwed onto the cleaning agent filling pipe 6.

[0029] Specifically, the electric cleaning assembly includes a motor 8 fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the distributor body 3, a drive shaft 9 rotatably installed inside the distributor body 3, and a U-shaped brush 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft 9.

[0030] Furthermore, the output shaft of the motor 8 passes through the top of the water distributor body 3 and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the top of the transmission shaft 9 via a coupling, and the bristles of the U-shaped brush 10 contact the inner wall of the water distributor body 3.

[0031] Specifically, the self-cleaning filter assembly is located inside the liquid inlet pipe 5. The self-cleaning filter assembly includes a filter element 14 and a support member 15 that are fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 5 in sequence, a shaft 16 that is rotatably mounted on the support member 15, and a turbine blade 17 and a cleaning brush 18 that are fixedly mounted on the shaft 16 in sequence. The bristles of the cleaning brush 18 are in contact with the surface of the filter element 14.

[0032] When the self-cleaning filter assembly is in use, the inlet pipe 5 is connected to the external water source through the flange. When the external water source is put into the inlet pipe 5, the filter element 14 filters the large particles of impurities in the water to prevent the large particles of impurities from entering the water distributor and causing blockage. Under the impact of the water flow, the turbine blades 17 will drive the cleaning brush 18 on the shaft 16 to rotate and effectively clean the impurities attached to the filter element 14, thereby preventing the filter element 14 from being blocked by impurities and affecting the filtration efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, when cleaning the water distributor, the cleaning agent is added from the cleaning agent filling pipe 6 into the liquid inlet pipe 5 and the sealing cap is closed. Then, the automatic cleaning mode on the cleaning controller 13 is turned on. At this time, the water inlet solenoid valves 11 on all the diversion pipes 4 will close simultaneously. The motor 8 starts and controls the U-shaped brush 10 on the drive shaft 9 to rotate. At the same time, the added cleaning agent will mix with the water supplied from the outside and enter the water distributor body 3. In this way, the U-shaped brush 10 can rotate inside the water distributor body 3 to automatically clean the scale formed on its inner wall. The cleaning is more convenient and faster, improving the cleaning efficiency of the water distributor. After the drain solenoid valve 12 is opened, the sewage generated during the cleaning process can be discharged to the outside.

Specifically, it is an air conditioner with an easy-to-clean water distributor structure, which also includes an installation port opened at the front of the air conditioner body 1 and an air conditioner air guide 2 installed in the installation port.

[0035] In this embodiment, slots 19 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting port, butterfly locking screws 21 are screwed on both sides of the air conditioner body 1, and plug blocks 20 are fixed on the outer wall of the middle of both sides of the air conditioner air guide 2, and locking holes are provided on both plug blocks 20.

[0036] Furthermore, the two insert blocks 20 are respectively inserted into the two slots 19, and the two butterfly locking screws 21 are respectively threaded into the two locking holes;

[0037] In this embodiment, the air conditioning air guide 2 can be quickly removed for disassembly and cleaning by unscrewing the two butterfly locking screws 21. After cleaning, the two inserts 20 on the air conditioning air guide 2 are inserted into the corresponding two slots 19, and then the two butterfly locking screws 21 are screwed into the corresponding two locking holes to achieve fixation.
