[0002] In recent years, with the increasing popularity of household air conditioners, the demand for air conditioner cleaning has been growing. During the cleaning process, wastewater can easily drip down the air conditioner casing, staining walls, floors, or furniture. Therefore, various air conditioner cleaning covers or water collection bags have appeared on the market to collect the wastewater generated during cleaning.

[0003] However, currently available air conditioner cleaning covers or water collection bags are cumbersome to unfold and store. Furthermore, to prevent wastewater from running down the walls during cleaning, most require installing a wall covering before putting on the cleaning cover, resulting in slow installation, low cleaning efficiency, and a significant waste of time. Moreover, after installation, removing the filter and outer casing is difficult due to space constraints; they must be placed on a table or floor. The removed casing and filter need to be taken to the bathroom or balcony for cleaning, requiring multiple trips up and down ladders, wasting time and easily soiling the bathroom or balcony, necessitating further cleaning. This is time-consuming and physically demanding, leading to low cleaning efficiency and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An efficient air conditioner cleaning tank includes a support frame and a cleaning tank connected to the support frame. The support frame is provided with connectors for connecting it to an air conditioner. The support frame includes a plurality of keel plates that are sequentially hinged together. The cleaning tank includes a plurality of side walls. The top of the cleaning tank is open and the bottom is provided with a water outlet and / or a drain pipe. The keel plates are respectively connected to the side walls of the cleaning tank and are used to maintain the shape of the cleaning tank.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning pool is rectangular, and the plurality of keels include a main keel plate arranged along the length direction of the cleaning pool, and the left and right ends of the main keel plate are respectively connected to a secondary keel plate arranged along the width direction of the cleaning pool. The main keel plate and the secondary keel plate protrude above the cleaning pool, and the height of the end of the secondary keel plate facing the main keel plate is lower than the height of the main keel plate.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning pool is formed by splicing together waterproof cloth, and the waterproof cloth is attached to the side walls of the main keel plate and the secondary keel plate and fixed by rivets.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: a damping hinge is provided between the main keel plate and the secondary keel plate, the secondary keel plate is hinged to the main keel plate through the damping hinge, and the two secondary keel plates are located on the same side of the main keel plate.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the connector includes a first connecting rope and a second connecting rope, one end of the first connecting rope is fixed to one of the keel plates, and the other end is provided with a snap-locking self-locking tensioner; one end of the second connecting rope is fixed to another keel plate, and the other end is connected to the snap-locking self-locking tensioner.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the cleaning pool has a bottom wall and the bottom wall is inclined, and the water outlet and / or drain pipe is located at the lower end of the bottom wall.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] A high-efficiency cleaning tank for air conditioners, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the device includes a support frame and a cleaning tank 1 connected to the support frame. The support frame is equipped with connectors for connecting it to an air conditioner. The entire cleaning tank 1 is hung on the air conditioner via the connectors. The support frame includes several keel plates that are hinged together in sequence. The cleaning tank 1 includes several side walls. The top of the cleaning tank 1 is open, and the bottom is provided with a water outlet 9 and / or a drain pipe 10. The keel plates are respectively connected to the side walls of the cleaning tank 1 to provide support for the cleaning tank 1 and prevent it from deforming. The side walls of the cleaning tank 1 are arranged vertically or at an inclination.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cleaning pool 1 is rectangular, meaning it has a bottom wall and vertically arranged side walls. In other embodiments, the cleaning pool 1 may also have one or more side walls arranged at an angle, forming a frustum shape. The keel plates include a main keel plate 2 arranged along the length of the cleaning pool 1. Secondary keel plates 3, arranged along the width of the cleaning pool 1, are respectively hinged to the left and right ends of the main keel plate 2. The main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plates 3 provide support for the cleaning pool 1, preventing it from easily deforming under stress during use.

[0028] The main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3 protrude above the cleaning tank 1. The height of the secondary keel plate 3 facing the main keel plate 2 is lower than the height of the main keel plate 2. Both the main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3 are vertical plates, forming a barrier around the air conditioner on three sides, preventing sewage from splashing outwards during cleaning. In use, the two secondary keel plates 3 are located on the left and right sides of the air conditioner, and the main keel plate 2 can be inserted into the back of the air conditioner, acting as a protective wall covering to prevent sewage from flowing down the wall. Furthermore, by setting the height difference between the main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3, when the main keel plate 2 is inserted into the back of the air conditioner, the two secondary keel plates 3 on both sides will not interfere with the copper pipes on the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the height of the entire secondary keel plate is lower than that of the main keel plate. In other embodiments, a notch can be set at the end of the secondary keel plate 3 near the main keel plate 2 to avoid the copper pipes.

[0029] The cleaning pool 1 is formed by splicing together multiple pieces of waterproof fabric, including one piece of waterproof fabric for each of the front and rear side walls, and one piece of waterproof fabric integrally formed for the left and right side walls and the bottom wall, for a total of three pieces of waterproof fabric. The waterproof fabric is attached to the side walls of the main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3 and fixed with rivets 11. The waterproof fabric is fixed to the outer side wall of the main keel plate 2 near the bottom by several rivets 11, and the waterproof fabric of the secondary keel plates 3 on both sides is also fixed to the outer side wall of the secondary keel plates 3 near the bottom by several rivets 11, so that the cleaning pool 1 is fixed around the bottom of the support frame.

[0030] A damping hinge 4 is installed between the main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3. The secondary keel plate 3 is hinged to the main keel plate 2 via the damping hinge 4. The two ends of the damping hinge 4 are fixed to the main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3 respectively by bolts and nuts. The two secondary keel plates 3 are located on the same side (inner side) of the main keel plate 2. When the secondary keel plate 3 is rotated to 90° and is perpendicular to the main keel plate 2, the folding bracket forms a U-shaped bracket, and the washing tank 1 is fully unfolded. When the secondary keel plate 3 is rotated to 0° and is flush with the main keel plate 2, the folding bracket forms a straight bracket, and the washing tank 1 is fully retracted. The secondary keel plate 3 can be infinitely adjusted between 0° and 90°, which can also adjust the height and front-to-back width of the washing tank 1.

[0031] Because of the use of damping hinge 4, the secondary keel plate 3 can be fixed at a certain angle when it is rotated to a certain angle. It will not rotate automatically and requires the user to apply a certain external force to rotate. It is convenient to use without additional fixing operation.

[0032] The cleaning tank 1 can be hung on the air conditioner via a connector, which includes a first connecting rope 5 and a second connecting rope 6. One end of the first connecting rope 5 is fixed to one of the keel plates 3, and the other end is equipped with a snap-locking tensioner 7 (also called a snap-lock tensioner, binding strap tensioner, or rope tightener). One end of the second connecting rope 6 is fixed to another keel plate 3, and the other end is connected to the snap-locking tensioner 7, allowing the length of the connector to be adjusted to match different models of air conditioners and enhance its applicability. The second connecting rope 6 passes through the snap-locking tensioner 7. When the snap-lock is pressed down, the spikes on the snap-lock lock the second connecting rope 6, securing it. The more the second connecting rope 6 passes through, the shorter the connector becomes, and vice versa. The snap-locking tensioner 7 is existing technology, and its use for rope length adjustment is common knowledge; its structure will not be described in detail here. In other embodiments, the connector can also be a hook fixed on the two side secondary keel plates 3 respectively, so that the two hooks can be used to hang the two ends of the air conditioner to achieve fixation.

[0033] The first connecting rope 5 and the second connecting rope 6 are respectively attached to the outer side walls of the two secondary keel plates 3 and fixed by bolts, nuts or rivets. The first connecting rope 5 and the second connecting rope 6 are made of nylon rope. The snap-locking tensioner 7 is located on the outer side of the secondary keel plate 3.

[0034] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 1 is inclined, and the drain pipe 10 or the outlet 9 is located at the lower end of the bottom wall 8, making it easier for the sewage on the bottom wall 8 of the cleaning tank 1 to concentrate at the outlet 9, thus accelerating the drainage speed. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 1 is symmetrically inclined towards the middle on both sides, with the middle of the cleaning tank 1 being the lowest point, and the front and rear side walls of the cleaning tank 1 are adapted to be pentagonal.

[0035] The cleaning tank 1 has an outlet 9 at the middle of the lower end of the bottom wall 8. A drain pipe 10 is detachably connected to the outlet 9. The drain pipe 10 is connected to the cleaning tank 1 through the outlet 9, and the sewage in the cleaning tank 1 flows to the drain pipe 10 through the outlet 9.

[0036] The drain pipe 10 is detachable by interference fit or threaded connection with the outlet 9. When the cleaning tank 1 is not in use, the drain pipe 10 can be removed and stored separately. When the cleaning tank 1 is unfolded for use, the drain pipe 10 is reinstalled.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the main keel plate 2 and the secondary keel plate 3 are made of rigid materials, such as aluminum alloy or plastic.

[0038] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0039] When in use, rotate the two secondary keel plates 3 outward to unfold the cleaning tank 1. The rotation angle of the secondary keel plates 3 can be selected according to actual needs. Then, adjust the connector to an appropriate length by tightening the self-locking tensioner 7 with the snap fastener. Hang the connector on the top of the air conditioner. Insert the main keel plate 2 into the back of the air conditioner. The secondary keel plates 3 are located on both sides of the air conditioner. Finally, install the drain pipe 10 on the water outlet 9, and the air cleaning work can begin.

[0040] When it is time to store the cleaning tank after cleaning, separate the connector from the air conditioner, move the cleaning tank 1 downwards out of the air conditioner, and finally fold the two secondary keel plates 3 inwards to store the cleaning tank 1.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
