AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, dust adheres to the filter screen of the indoor unit of an air conditioner in humid environments, making it difficult to clean thoroughly. This leads to filter clogging, increased air conditioner energy consumption, reduced cooling and heating performance, and potential indoor air pollution.
A heating element is installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to heat the filter to dry the adhering dust, and then a brush assembly is used for cleaning to ensure that the dust can be easily removed from the filter.
It effectively reduces dust adhesion, improves the cleaning effect of the filter, reduces energy consumption, and prevents the layout of internal components of the air conditioner from being affected.
