Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a dustproof mechanism for air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] Wall-mounted air conditioners are widely popular, and their technology is constantly being innovated. The ventilation function is the latest technology applied to wall-mounted air conditioners, ensuring fresh air in the home, preventing air conditioning sickness, and making them more comfortable and efficient to use.

[0003] When the indoor unit is running, its top is the air intake and its bottom is the exhaust, thus achieving indoor air circulation and cooling. Air filtration is achieved by intercepting air through an internal filter. A grid plate is embedded in the top of the indoor unit to intercept foreign objects. However, due to gravity, dust can pass through the grid plate and fall onto the internal filter, causing it to become clogged and resulting in an odor during air circulation. To address this, a filter is pre-installed on one side of the grid plate to filter the air in advance, ensuring that the internal filter of the indoor unit does not become clogged and reducing the formation of foreign objects.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 A dustproof mechanism for an air conditioner includes an indoor unit 1. A dustproof component 2 is movably embedded in the top of the indoor unit 1. The dustproof component 2 includes an upper grid plate 21, a lower grid plate 22, and a sandwich filter 23. The upper grid plate 21 and the lower grid plate 22 are movably connected on one side by a hinge. A protruding frame is fixedly installed on the opposite side of the upper grid plate 21 and the lower grid plate 22. The sandwich filter 23 is embedded in the interior of the protruding frame. A locking component 24 is provided inside the upper grid plate 21 for locking the closed upper grid plate 21 and lower grid plate 22.

[0027] Please see Figure 5-8 The locking assembly 24 includes a hollow slider 241, a connecting block 242 fixedly mounted on the top of the hollow slider 241, a push button 243 fixedly mounted on the top of the connecting block 242, a push spring 244 fixedly mounted inside the hollow slider 241, an insert plate 245 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the hollow slider 241, a protrusion 246 fixedly mounted on the side of the insert plate 245, one end of the protrusion 246 being inserted into the interior of the concave block 247, and the cross-section of the protruding end of the protrusion 246 and the concave end of the concave block 247 being trapezoidal. The upper grid plate 21 is detachably snapped onto the lower grid plate 22 through the hollow slider 241, the insert plate 245, the protrusion 246 and the concave block 247.

[0028] Please see Figure 5-8The upper grid plate 21 has a groove 248 on its frame surface that corresponds to the hollow slider 241. The hollow slider 241 slides in the groove 248. The upper grid plate 21 and the lower grid plate 22 have slots 249 that communicate with the groove 248. The insert plate 245 is inserted into the slot 249. The recess 247 is fixedly installed in the inner wall of the slot 249 of the lower grid plate 22.

[0029] Please see Figure 5-8 A frame 2410 corresponding to the connecting block 242 is fixedly installed at the top opening of the slide groove 248. The connecting block 242 slides in the strip hole in the middle of the frame 2410. The frame 2410 can also restrict the position of the hollow slider 241 to ensure that the hollow slider 241 will not leave the interior of the slide groove 248. A spring mounting groove 2411 corresponding to the push spring 244 is opened on the side wall of the slide groove 248. The end of the push spring 244 away from the hollow slider 241 is installed in the interior of the spring mounting groove 241.

[0030] Working principle: When in use, by embedding a dustproof component 2 on the top of the indoor unit 1, the air entering the indoor unit 1 is intercepted and filtered by the sandwich filter 23, thereby reducing the clogging of the filter of the indoor unit 1 and reducing the formation of gas odor.

[0031] By pushing the push button 243 to the side, the hollow slider 241 slides from one end of the slide groove 248 to the other end, and the insert plate 245 also slides in the slot 249. Then the protrusion 246 separates from the concave block 247, and then the upper grid plate 21 and the lower grid plate 22 are unlocked. The next step is to rotate the upper grid plate 21 to open it, so that the interlayer filter screen 23 can be taken out for cleaning and replacement.

[0032] Conversely, when the upper grid plate 21 rotates to close the surface of the lower grid plate 22, the insert plate 245 is inserted into the slot 249. Then, the push spring 244 pushes the hollow slider 241 to slide in the slide groove 248, and the protrusion 246 and the concave block 247 will interlock, thereby locking the upper grid plate 21 and the lower grid plate 22.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
