Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically to an air conditioner with a self-cleaning filter structure. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is a device that regulates the temperature, humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of air in an enclosed space. Its purpose is to ensure that the air parameters of the target environment meet the requirements and provide people with a comfortable indoor environment.

[0003] During the design process of this utility model, the following problems were discovered in the existing technology:

[0004] Existing air conditioners typically have filters installed at their air outlets to blow conditioned air out of the unit and filter out dust and other impurities, thus ensuring the health of people indoors. However, after prolonged use, the surface of the internal filters accumulates a large amount of dust. This accumulated dust not only affects the air conditioning's airflow efficiency but also easily breeds bacteria, impacting the health of people indoors. Furthermore, since the filters are usually installed inside the air conditioner, cleaning them often requires disassembling the unit and removing the filters, a complex and difficult process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air conditioner with a self-cleaning filter structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air conditioner with a filter self-cleaning structure, comprising an air conditioner body, a filter plate installed inside the air conditioner body, a cleaning component installed inside the air conditioner body, the top of the cleaning component being installed and connected to the bottom of a folded hose, the top of the folded hose being installed and connected to the bottom of a dust collection pipe, the side wall of the dust collection pipe being fixedly connected to one end of an air outlet pipe, a cover plate being provided on the top surface of the air outlet pipe, and a dustproof plate being installed at the other end of the air outlet pipe;

[0007] The cleaning assembly includes a movable tube, the inner wall of which is movably connected to the outer wall of a screw, the bottom end of which is connected to the output end of a first drive motor, and a cleaning roller is installed inside the movable tube.

[0008] The air outlet pipe includes a pipe body, inside which a fan blade is installed, and one end of the fan blade is connected to the output end of the second drive motor.

[0009] More preferably, the side wall of the air conditioner body is provided with a pair of rotating caps for installing screws.

[0010] More preferably, the filter plate is installed on the inside of the air outlet of the air conditioner body.

[0011] More preferably, the body of the moving tube is L-shaped, and a rotating cap is provided at one end of the moving tube. The moving tube is rotatably connected to the screw through the rotating cap at one end, and the cleaning roller is located inside the lower opening of the L-shaped body of the moving tube.

[0012] More preferably, the top of the folded hose is the upper opening, the bottom of the folded hose is the lower opening, and the lower opening of the folded hose is installed and connected to the upper opening of the L-shaped body of the movable tube.

[0013] More preferably, the dust collection pipe has an inverted L-shape, with the bottom inlet end of the dust collection pipe connected to the top of the folded flexible hose.

[0014] More preferably, the fan blades are located inside the tube body near one end of the dust collection pipe, and the cover plate is installed on the top surface of the tube body near one end of the dustproof plate.

[0015] More preferably, the top surface of the cover plate is provided with an arc-shaped handle, and the interior of the dustproof plate is provided with a dustproof net.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This air conditioner with a self-cleaning filter structure is equipped with a cleaning roller, a dust collection pipe, and an air outlet pipe. By activating the cleaning roller inside the moving pipe, the roller rotates inside the lower opening of the moving pipe, sweeping off the dust adsorbed on the filter screen. The swept-off dust falls into the moving pipe, and then the first drive motor drives the screw to rotate. The screw, through a rotating cap at one end of the moving pipe, moves the moving pipe up and down along the screw direction, cleaning the dust adsorbed on the filter screen. This achieves a self-cleaning effect on the air conditioner filter screen, allowing for cleaning without disassembling the air conditioner. The cleaning process is simple, quick, and effective.

[0026] The air outlet duct 6 includes a duct body 601, inside which a fan blade 602 is installed, and one end of the fan blade 602 is connected to the output end of the second drive motor 603.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pair of rotating caps for mounting screws 302 are provided on the side wall of the air conditioner body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the filter plate 2 is installed on the inside of the air outlet of the air conditioner body 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the body of the moving tube 301 is L-shaped, and a rotating cap is provided at one end of the moving tube 301. The moving tube 301 is rotatably connected to the screw 302 through the rotating cap at one end. The cleaning roller 304 is located inside the lower opening of the L-shaped body of the moving tube 301.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the top of the folded hose 4 is the upper opening, the bottom of the folded hose 4 is the lower opening, and the lower opening of the folded hose 4 is installed and connected to the upper opening of the L-shaped body of the movable tube 301.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the body of the dust collection pipe 5 is an inverted L-shape, and the bottom inlet end of the dust collection pipe 5 is connected to the upper opening of the folded flexible hose 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fan blade 602 is located inside the tube body 601 near the end of the dust collection pipe 5, and the cover plate 7 is installed on the top surface of the tube body 601 near the end of the dustproof plate 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the cover plate 7 is provided with an arc-shaped handle, and the interior of the dustproof plate 8 is provided with a dustproof net.

[0034] As in the process Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this air conditioner with a self-cleaning filter structure operates as follows during use:

[0035] Firstly, when the air conditioner unit 1 needs to be cleaned after prolonged use, the cleaning roller 304 is activated, causing it to rotate inside the moving tube 301. This sweeps away the dust adsorbed on the surface of the filter plate 2, which falls into the moving tube 301. Then, the first drive motor 303 is activated, driving the screw 302 to rotate. The screw 302, through a rotating cap at one end of the moving tube 301, moves the moving tube 301 up and down along the direction of the screw 302. Simultaneously, the folding hose 4 extends and retracts with the movement of the moving tube 301, thus removing the dust adsorbed on the filter plate 2. Dust is swept up and down. At this time, the second drive motor 603 is started. The second drive motor 603 drives the fan blade 602 to rotate inside the tube 601, generating suction to draw the dust that falls into the moving tube 301 into the tube 601 through the folded hose 4 and the dust collection tube 5, and then discharges from the dustproof plate 8 at the other end of the tube 601. The dust is filtered and collected in the tube 601 by the dustproof mesh inside the dustproof plate 8. Then, by pulling the arc-shaped handle on the top of the cover plate 7, the cover plate 7 can be pulled out from the tube 601 to clean the dust filtered and collected in the tube 601. Regularly cleaning the dust filtered in the tube 601 ensures the normal operation of the device.
