Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an energy-saving air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning, or air conditioner, refers to equipment that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and airflow rate of the air in a building or structure. Most of them utilize refrigerant, which evaporates or condenses under the action of a compressor, thereby causing the surrounding air to evaporate or condense, in order to change the temperature and humidity.

[0003] Air conditioners are equipped with dust filters to block external dust during use. However, long-term use can cause dust to accumulate on the filters, leading to blockage of the air outlets and increased energy consumption. As the efficiency of the air conditioning system decreases, blockage will cause the air conditioning system to consume more energy, increasing electricity consumption. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above, and then to propose an energy-saving air conditioner.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] An energy-saving air conditioner includes a housing, a dust filter disposed within the housing, a controller disposed within the housing, and a flip cover disposed outside the housing. The flip cover has a box structure with an inner cavity such that when the flip cover is closed, the front end of the inner cavity is at least 3 cm away from the dust filter. A self-cleaning component electrically connected to the controller is disposed inside the flip cover. The self-cleaning component contacts the surface of the dust filter when the flip cover is closed. A sensor electrically connected to the controller is also disposed inside the flip cover so that when the sensor detects that the self-cleaning component has reached a set position, it resets the self-cleaning component.

[0007] Furthermore, the self-cleaning component includes an electric cylinder, a mounting rod, and a brush; the electric cylinder is horizontally disposed inside the flip cover, and the extension end of the electric cylinder is connected to the mounting rod, with a brush installed at each end of the mounting rod, and one brush being close to the outside of the dustproof net in the initial state, and the other brush being close to the middle of the dustproof net in the initial state.

[0008] Furthermore, the brush head contacts the dustproof mesh after the flip cover is closed, and the brush head length is not less than 1cm to improve the cleaning effect.

[0009] Furthermore, the length of the brush body is greater than the width of the dustproof net to cover the dustproof net as much as possible during the cleaning process.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the brush body should not exceed 2cm to avoid affecting the performance of the air conditioner.

[0011] Furthermore, the sensing element is a pressure sensor, which, when it receives a pressure signal from the self-cleaning component, causes the self-cleaning component to reset.

[0012] Furthermore, the sensing element is a distance sensor. When the distance sensor detects the distance signal of the self-cleaning component, it causes the self-cleaning component to reset.

[0013] Furthermore, the self-cleaning component operates and completes a cleaning action when the air conditioner is turned on or off, thereby improving energy-saving performance.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention improves the flip-top structure and, in conjunction with the design of self-cleaning components and sensors, enables the air conditioner to have a self-cleaning function for the dust filter, reducing dust accumulation on the filter and ensuring unobstructed airflow from the air conditioner vents, thereby achieving energy-saving effects. At the same time, it reduces the labor intensity of manual cleaning and improves cleaning efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0021] See attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 3As shown, an energy-saving air conditioner includes a housing 1, a dustproof mesh 2 disposed inside the housing 1, a controller 3 disposed inside the housing 1, and a flip cover 4 disposed outside the housing 1. The flip cover 4 is a box structure with an inner cavity such that when the flip cover 4 is closed, the front end of its inner cavity is at least 3 cm away from the dustproof mesh 2. A self-cleaning component 5 electrically connected to the controller 3 is disposed inside the flip cover 4. The self-cleaning component 5 contacts the surface of the dustproof mesh 2 when the flip cover 4 is closed. A sensor 6 electrically connected to the controller 3 is also disposed inside the flip cover 4 so that when the sensor detects that the self-cleaning component 5 has reached a set position, it resets the self-cleaning component 5.

[0022] Specifically, regarding the structure of the self-cleaning component 5 in the above scheme:

[0023] See attached document Figure 1 As shown, the self-cleaning component 5 includes an electric cylinder 51, a mounting rod 52, and brushes 53. The electric cylinder 51 is horizontally arranged inside the flip cover 4, and the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 51 is connected to the mounting rod 52. Each end of the mounting rod 52 is equipped with a brush 53, and one brush 53 is initially close to the outside of the dustproof net 2, while the other brush 53 is initially close to the middle of the dustproof net 2. During implementation, the operation of the electric cylinder 51 causes the two brushes 53 to clean the surface of the dustproof net 2 respectively, and the common stroke of the two brushes 53 is greater than or equal to the length of the dustproof net 2.

[0024] In addition, the brush head of the brush 53 contacts the dustproof net 2 after the flip cover 4 is closed, and the length of the brush head of the brush 53 is not less than 1cm to improve the cleaning effect. The length of the brush body of the brush 53 is greater than the width of the dustproof net 2 to cover the dustproof net 2 as much as possible during the cleaning process. The width of the brush body of the brush 53 does not exceed 2cm to avoid affecting the use effect of the air conditioner.

[0025] For sensor 6:

[0026] In one embodiment, the sensing element 6 is a pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor receives a pressure signal from the self-cleaning component 5, it causes the self-cleaning component 5 to reset. Specifically, during the implementation process, the pressure sensor will come into contact with the brush 53, and the brush 53 will give the pressure sensor a pressure signal. At this time, the electric cylinder 51 will retract and reset.

[0027] In another implementation, the sensing element 6 is a distance sensor. When the distance sensor detects the distance signal of the self-cleaning component 5, it causes the self-cleaning component 5 to reset. Specifically, during the implementation, the distance sensor detects the running distance of the brush 53. When the brush 53 reaches the position detected by the distance sensor, the electric cylinder 51 retracts and resets.

[0028] In addition, considering energy-saving effects, the self-cleaning component 5 operates when the air conditioner is turned on or off. When the air conditioner is turned on or off, the self-cleaning component 5 completes one cleaning action. The self-cleaning component 5 does not start when the air conditioner is in other operating states.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
