Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner accessories technology, and in particular to an air conditioner filter structure that is easy to disassemble and clean. Background Technology
[0002] As the core component of an air conditioning system, the indoor unit of an air conditioner typically includes a casing, evaporator, fan assembly, and associated air handling structure. Among these, the intake filter, acting as the primary air filtration barrier, is constantly exposed to high-dust airflow environments, easily accumulating dust, hair, and other suspended particulate matter. According to usage guidelines, this filter needs to be disassembled and cleaned regularly; otherwise, it will lead to increased air resistance, resulting in reduced cooling efficiency, increased energy consumption, and bacterial growth.
[0003] In most mainstream air conditioning products today, the filter is generally a built-in, concealed design: its installation location is deep inside the air intake channel within the casing. Users must remove the casing fasteners, usually clips or screws, and remove the outer casing to access the filter, making disassembly and cleaning difficult. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes an air conditioning filter structure that is easy to disassemble and clean.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an air conditioner filter structure that is easy to disassemble and clean, including a housing and an evaporator and a fan assembly disposed in the housing:
[0006] An air inlet slot is provided on the upper part of the housing, and a filter mounting hole is provided on the front side of the air inlet slot; a filter mounting rail is provided below the air inlet slot; the filter mesh can be slidably installed on the filter mounting rail from the filter mounting hole; a decorative cover is detachably installed on the filter mounting hole.
[0007] Optionally, a first mating part is provided above the filter mounting hole, and a second mating part is provided on the decorative cover; the first mating part and the second mating part are detachably mated.
[0008] Optionally, the first mating part and the second mating part are a magnetic attractor and a metal block.
[0009] Optionally, the first mating part is a positioning hole; the second mating part is an expansion column, which can be deformed and pressed into the positioning hole.
[0010] Optionally, a tension member is provided on the front side of the filter mesh.
[0011] Optionally, the pulling element is a rope or cable.
[0012] Optionally, the filter mesh is provided with a filter element assembly; the filter element assembly includes one or more of an activated carbon cotton layer, a non-woven fabric layer, and a honeycomb activated carbon layer.
[0013] Optionally, the filter element assembly has metal wire mesh on both sides, which is pressed into a wavy arrangement.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model achieves a breakthrough improvement in filter installation and removal efficiency and safety through the integrated design of a top air inlet slot, sliding rail embedding, and decorative cover. Installation and removal efficiency is doubled; the filter can be installed and removed by horizontally pulling it through the filter installation hole, shortening operation time and increasing efficiency. Safety and user experience are upgraded; the entire operation involves contact only with the edge of the insulated filter mesh and the decorative cover, avoiding the risks of frequent disassembly and electric shock.

[0025] Example
[0026] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention proposes an air conditioner filter structure that is easy to disassemble and clean, including a housing 10 and an evaporator 20 and a fan assembly 30 disposed on the housing 10:
[0027] An air inlet slot 11 is provided on the upper part of the housing 10, and a filter mounting hole 12 is provided on the front side of the air inlet slot 11; a filter mounting rail 13 is provided below the air inlet slot 11; the filter mesh 40 can be slidably installed on the filter mounting rail 13 from the filter mounting hole 12; a decorative cover 50 is detachably installed on the filter mounting hole 12.
[0028] In this invention, the integrated design of the top air inlet slot 11, the sliding rail, and the decorative cover 50 achieves a breakthrough improvement in the efficiency and safety of filter installation and removal. Installation and removal efficiency is doubled; the filter can be installed and removed directly by horizontally pulling it through the filter mounting hole 12, shortening operation time and increasing efficiency. Safety and user experience are upgraded; the entire operation involves contact only with the edge of the insulated filter mesh and the decorative cover 50, avoiding the risks of frequent disassembly and electric shock.
[0029] In this embodiment, a first mating part 14 is provided above the filter mounting hole 12, and a second mating part 51 is provided on the decorative cover 50; the first mating part 14 and the second mating part 51 are detachably mated. The modular connection between the first mating part 14 and the second mating part 51 realizes the quick-release and anti-loss design of the cover.
[0030] In some embodiments, the first mating part 14 and the second mating part 51 are a magnetic element and a metal block. The mating scheme of the magnetic element and the metal block eliminates mechanical collision noise during the closing process, and the magnetic force can compensate for assembly errors of the housing 10, ensuring consistent fit of the cover across different batches of products.
[0031] In some embodiments, the first mating part 14 is a positioning hole; the second mating part 51 is an expansion column, which can be deformed and pressed into the positioning hole. The structure of the expansion column being pressed into the positioning hole provides mechanical locking and shockproof protection, and requires a certain amount of external force to pull out the decorative cover 50.
[0032] In this embodiment, a pull member 41 is provided on the front side of the filter mesh 40. The addition of the pull member 41 on the front side of the filter mesh makes it easier for the user to pull, remove, and take out the filter mesh 40.
[0033] In this embodiment, the pulling member 41 is a rope or cable.
[0034] In this embodiment, the filter mesh 40 is provided with a filter element assembly 42; the filter element assembly 42 includes one or more of an activated carbon cotton layer, a non-woven fabric layer, and a honeycomb activated carbon layer. With the application of the modular filter element assembly 42, the activated carbon cotton layer adsorbs formaldehyde, the honeycomb activated carbon layer intercepts small dust particles, and the non-woven fabric layer blocks hair.
[0035] Preferably, metal wire mesh 43 is provided on both sides of the filter element assembly 42 and is arranged in a wavy pattern. Under the same projected area, the wavy structure increases the effective filtration area and extends the service life. The metal wire mesh 43 has high compressive strength and low filter element deformation rate during cleaning.
[0036] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
