TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to air conditioner condenser fin cleaning technical field especially relates to a kind of fin cleaning device of air conditioner condenser. BACKGROUND

[0002] Condenser fin improves the condensing efficiency of air conditioner by increasing heat exchange surface area. The refrigerant inside the condenser releases heat on the surface of the fin, and the heat is carried away by air flow, achieving cooling effect. There are usually small gaps on the fin to increase the amount of air flow. With the increase of use time, dust, oil fume, pollen and dirt in the external environment in the air will adhere to the fin, especially in the environment with poor air quality, the dirt on the condenser fin accumulates more seriously, which leads to the gradual decline of the heat dissipation capacity of the condenser, affecting the refrigeration effect and energy efficiency of the air conditioner. Regular cleaning of condenser fin can effectively remove dust and dirt, restore its heat dissipation performance and improve the overall efficiency of the air conditioner. If not cleaned for a long time, it may cause overheating of the equipment, reduce energy efficiency, and even cause damage to the equipment. Therefore, cleaning of condenser fin is an important part of air conditioner maintenance.

[0003] The utility model discloses a kind of fin cleaning device of air conditioner condenser, including support frame, the both sides of the support frame are provided with bearing seat, the inner side of the bearing seat is provided with brush wheel, the end of the bearing seat far from brush wheel on right side is provided with driving device, the both sides of the support frame are provided with first adjusting piece, the inner side of the first adjusting piece is rotatably connected with bearing seat, the back of the support is provided with moving assembly on both sides, the front surface of the support frame is provided with fixed part, the inside of the fixed part is provided with water spraying assembly. Multiple water spraying mode: the setting of water spraying assembly includes high-pressure spray head and atomizing spray head, different water spraying modes can be selected for cleaning, suitable for different cleaning scenes, improve cleaning effect, prevent a large amount of dust from being generated when cleaning fin at the same time, the connecting piece at the bottom of water pipe is connected with external water supply hose conveniently, to ensure that water supply is stable and reliable during cleaning.

[0004] Traditional cleaning of most air conditioner condenser fins usually adopts manual or mechanical brushing method, or uses special cleaning agent for spraying. However, manual cleaning is not only low in efficiency, but also causes great damage to the fins, which easily leads to bending and damage of the fins. Although mechanical brushing can improve cleaning efficiency, it may cause wear on the surface of the fins, affecting the normal operation of the condenser. The above-mentioned scheme can clean the fins, but cannot clean them automatically, and manual adjustment is required. During the cleaning process, a large amount of sewage is discharged, which pollutes the cleaning environment. Therefore, a fin cleaning device for air conditioner condenser is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a fin cleaning device for air conditioner condensers.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fin cleaning device for an air conditioner condenser, comprising a support frame, a guide rod 1 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame, two clamping blocks slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 1, rubber pads fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two clamping blocks, a fixing component for driving the two clamping blocks to move relative to or away from each other on one side of the support frame, two fixing blocks 5 fixedly connected to the front of the support frame, a guide rod 2 fixedly connected between opposite sides of the two fixing blocks 5, an electric slide rail slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 2, a moving component for driving the electric slide rail to move on one side of one of the fixing blocks 5, a groove opened on one side of the electric slide rail, an electric slider slidably connected inside the groove, an electric nozzle fixedly connected to one side of the electric slider, a pumping component on the top of the support frame, and a collecting component on the back of the support frame.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0039] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a fin cleaning device for an air conditioner condenser: It includes a support frame 1, a guide rod 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1, two clamping blocks 3 slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 2, rubber pads 4 fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two clamping blocks 3, a fixing component for driving the two clamping blocks 3 to move relative to or away from each other on one side of the support frame 1, two fixing blocks 5 fixedly connected to the front of the support frame 1, a guide rod 6 fixedly connected between opposite sides of the two fixing blocks 5, an electric slide rail 7 slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rod 6, a moving component for driving the electric slide rail 7 to move on one side of one of the fixing blocks 5, a groove 8 on one side of the electric slide rail 7, an electric slider 9 slidably connected inside the groove 8, an electric nozzle 10 fixedly connected to one side of the electric slider 9, a pumping component on the top of the support frame 1, a collecting component on the back of the support frame 1, and four self-locking nozzles on the bottom of the support frame 1. The device features omnidirectional wheels, allowing operators to quickly move the support frame 1. A self-locking function prevents the device from moving erratically once stopped. Rubber pads 4 reduce damage to the air conditioner condenser casing when the clamping block 3 is in place. A moving component controls the lateral movement of the electric spray head 10, working in conjunction with the electric slide rail 7 to automatically clean the exposed fins from all angles. A collection component collects some of the wastewater during cleaning, reducing environmental pollution. The combined use of the electric slide rail 7, electric slider 9, guide rod 6, and moving component allows for precise control of the spray direction of the electric spray head 10. The vertical and horizontal movement of the electric slide rail 7 and the electric spray head 10 enables comprehensive cleaning of the fins. Compared to traditional manual cleaning methods, this significantly improves cleaning efficiency and accuracy, saves time, and is convenient for operators.

[0040] The fixed assembly includes a drive motor 11 fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 1. The output end of the drive motor 11 rotatably passes through the interior of the support frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod 12. The outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 12 is threadedly connected to two clamping blocks 3. One end of the bidirectional threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 1. The moving assembly includes a drive motor 13 fixedly installed on one side of one of the fixed blocks 5. The output end of the drive motor 13 rotatably passes through one of the fixed blocks 5 and is fixedly connected to a rotating threaded rod 14. The outer wall of the rotating threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to an electric slide rail 7. One end of the rotating threaded rod 14 is rotatably connected to another fixed block 5.

[0041] The pumping assembly includes a high-pressure water pump 15 fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 1. The inlet end of the high-pressure water pump 15 is fixedly connected to an inlet pipe 16. By setting the high-pressure water pump 15, the electric nozzle 10 can generate high-pressure water flow, thereby better cleaning the stubborn dust on the fins and ensuring that they are clean. The outlet end of the high-pressure water pump 15 is fixedly connected to a spring hose 17. One end of the spring hose 17 passes through the interior of the electric slider 9 and is fixedly connected to the electric nozzle 10. By setting the spring hose 17, it can be ensured that the electric slider 9 continuously draws water flow during its movement, avoiding the inability to draw water due to the pipe being too short, which would cause the device to fail to operate.

[0042] The collection assembly includes a collection frame 18 hinged to the back of the support frame 1. An absorbent sponge 19 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the collection frame 18. By setting the absorbent sponge 19, the impact of the high-pressure water flow can be reduced, and the water flow penetrating through the gaps can be absorbed and concentrated at the bottom of the collection frame 18. A drain pipe 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection frame 18. By setting the drain pipe 20, the sewage in the collection frame 18 can be discharged to the treatment area or sewer, reducing pollution to the working environment. A controller 21 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 1, and a protective frame 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 1. By setting the controller 21, the device can be better controlled and it is convenient for operators to use. By setting the protective frame 22, the high-pressure water pump 15 will not be hit when the collection frame 18 rotates, ensuring safety.

[0043] Working principle: First, the controller 21 is electrically connected to the electric slide rail 7, electric nozzle 10, drive motor 11, drive motor 2 13 and high-pressure water pump 15 respectively to facilitate more convenient control of the device. Then, the device can be moved to the front of the air conditioner condenser fins that need to be cleaned. Then, the collection frame 18 is manually rotated half a turn to move to the top. Then, the device is pushed to move and wrap around the air conditioner condenser. Then, the collection frame 18 can be rotated in the opposite direction and lowered. Then, drive motor 11 can be started. The output end rotates to drive the bidirectional threaded rod 12 to rotate, so that the two clamping blocks 3 move relative to each other along the guide rod 2, thereby clamping the air conditioner condenser with the rubber pad 4, fixing the device in place and preventing it from shaking. This prevents the device from moving during subsequent cleaning and affecting the cleaning effect. It can also adapt to air conditioner condensers of different widths, making it convenient for workers to use.

[0044] Then, the water pipe can be connected to the inlet pipe 16, and the high-pressure water pump 15 can be started to draw water into the spring hose 17. The water is then sprayed through the electric nozzle 10 to clean the fins that need cleaning. Then, the drive motor 13 can be started, and the output end rotates to drive the rotating threaded rod 14 to rotate, so that the electric slide rail 7 moves left and right along the guide rod 6, so that the electric nozzle 10 can clean the fins horizontally. After cleaning the horizontal row of fins, the controller 21 controls the electric slide rail 7 to start, so that the electric slider 9 moves along the... The slide rail 7 moves along the slide groove 8, allowing the electric spray head 10 to move up and down, enabling it to clean the fins vertically. Through horizontal and vertical cleaning, the fins of the air conditioner condenser can be fully and automatically cleaned, eliminating the hassle of manual cleaning. During the cleaning process, some water will pass through the gaps in the fins and impact the absorbent sponge 19. After being buffered by the absorbent sponge 19, the water flows into the bottom of the collection frame 18 and is discharged through the drain pipe 20, thereby reducing the pollution of the environment by the wastewater.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
