[0002] Automobile plants are the core infrastructure for automobile manufacturing, and temperature is a key environmental factor that needs to be strictly controlled in the production and operation of automobile plants. Its fluctuations or abnormalities can have a significant impact on many aspects such as production processes, equipment operation, product quality, personnel efficiency, and energy consumption.

[0003] Modular air conditioners are large-scale air handling units composed of multiple functional sections that can be flexibly combined, and are widely used in automobile factories. Through modular design, functional sections can be freely combined according to different air handling needs (such as cooling, heating, humidification, purification, etc.) to achieve centralized air processing and delivery, ensuring that the temperature in each workshop of the automobile factory reaches the required temperature.

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the relevant invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0021] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] In automobile factories, modular air conditioners are core infrastructure that ensures stable production, product quality, and operational efficiency. Their importance lies in the precise control of ambient temperature and humidity, which in turn supports the process requirements, equipment operation, and working conditions of each production stage.

[0023] Specifically, the four core workshops of an automotive plant (stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly) have strict temperature threshold requirements. Combined air conditioners directly prevent process failures by stabilizing the ambient temperature. Automated equipment in automotive plants (such as robots, testing instruments, and automated guided vehicles) is sensitive to ambient temperature; combined air conditioners can significantly extend equipment lifespan and reduce malfunctions. Furthermore, automotive plants are a combination of labor-intensive and technology-intensive environments, and the stability of personnel operations directly affects production quality. If the plant temperature is too high, employees are prone to heatstroke and distraction, leading to operational errors such as missed parts or incorrect tightening torque. Combined air conditioners can control the temperature between 26-30℃, increasing employee work efficiency by 15%-20% and reducing safety accidents caused by fatigue.

[0024] However, under long-term use, dust accumulates on the intake filter and cooling fins of the coarse-filter section of combined air conditioners. This results in reduced airflow and lower-than-ideal outlet temperatures, causing fluctuations in the ambient temperature of the automotive plant and impacting production stability, product quality, and operational efficiency. Therefore, regular cleaning of the air intake filter and cooling fins is necessary. Currently, this is done manually. However, each cleaning requires removing the filter, which can damage it over time; furthermore, manual cleaning of the cooling fins is inconvenient and increases labor costs.

[0025] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a self-cleaning modular air conditioner. Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a combined air conditioner provided for an embodiment of the present utility model. For example, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, the modular air conditioner may include a casing and a coarse filter section 1, a surface cooling section 2, a fan section 3, a silencer section 4, a maintenance section 5, and a medium-efficiency filter section 6 arranged sequentially along the airflow direction within the casing. The casing has a receiving cavity in which the coarse filter section 1, the surface cooling section 2, the fan section 3, the silencer section 4, the maintenance section 5, and the medium-efficiency filter section 6 are all placed. The casing has a return air inlet 7, a fresh air inlet 8, and an air outlet 9, all of which are connected to the receiving cavity. The return air inlet 7 and the fresh air inlet 8 are located on one side of the coarse filter section 1, and the air outlet 9 is located on the other side of the coarse filter section 1.

[0026] It is understandable that the above functional sections are only examples, and functional sections can be added or removed according to actual needs.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, the combined air conditioner further includes a cleaning component 100; the cleaning component 100 includes an air purging device 10 and a dust collection device 20; the air purging device 10 is used to blow away dust on the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2; the dust collection device 20 is used to collect the dust blown away by the air purging device 10.

[0028] In this embodiment, the air blowing device 10 uses gas to blow dust from the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2 into the air of the receiving cavity, and the dust suction device 20 uses suction to pick up the dust blown into the air, thus achieving dust collection and processing. In this way, the cleaning component 100 achieves the function of cleaning dust on the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2.

[0029] For example, the air purging device 10 can only blow away the dust on the coarse filter section 1 to increase the airflow into the coarse filter section 1, thereby increasing the airflow at the outlet 9 and ensuring that the outlet temperature reaches the ideal effect. The air purging device 10 can also only blow away the dust on the surface cooling section 2 to improve the cooling effect of the surface cooling section 2, similarly ensuring that the outlet temperature reaches the ideal effect. The air purging device 10 can also blow away the dust on both the coarse filter section 1 and the surface cooling section 2 simultaneously to better ensure that the outlet temperature reaches the ideal effect.

[0030] In one embodiment, dust on the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2 can be cleaned by manually turning on the air purging device 10 and the dust collection device 20 respectively.

[0031] In another embodiment, a controller 200 can be configured, which is communicatively connected to both the air purging device 10 and the vacuuming device 20. Using the controller 200 to activate the air conditioner's cleaning function allows for one-button operation of both the air purging device 10 and the vacuuming device 20. The controller 200 can be an additional component or a controller for the combined air conditioner unit. In one example, the controller 200 can be a remote control, in which case it is wirelessly connected to both the air purging device 10 and the vacuuming device 20. In another example, the controller 200 is located within the combined air conditioner unit, and its control buttons are located on the unit's control panel. In this case, the controller 200 can be wiredly connected to both the air purging device 10 and the vacuuming device 20.

[0032] Based on the above technical solution, specifically, in one embodiment, the air purging device 10 includes an air compressor 11, a compressed air pipeline 12, and an air purging component 13; the air compressor 11 is connected to the compressed air pipeline 12, the compressed air pipeline 12 is connected to the air purging component 13, the air compressor 11 is capable of generating compressed air, the air compressor 11 is used to provide compressed air and deliver the compressed air to the air purging component 13 through the compressed air pipeline 12; the air purging component 13 is located between the coarse filter section 1 and the surface cooling section 2, and is used to purge the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2 with compressed air.

[0033] For example, such as Figure 2As shown, the air purging component 13 includes a purging pipe 131 and a plurality of nozzles 132 disposed on the purging pipe 131. The nozzles 132 are connected to the purging pipe 131 and are positioned toward the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2. The purging pipe 131 is connected to a compressed air pipe 12, which transmits compressed air to each nozzle 132. The compressed air is ejected through the nozzles 132 and blown toward the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2, thus purging the dust on the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2. In this embodiment, the shape and arrangement of the nozzles 132 are not limited, as long as they can achieve the purpose of purging the dust on the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the air purging device 10 further includes an electric valve 14, which is disposed on the compressed air pipeline 12 and is communicatively connected to the controller 200. The electric valve 14 can open and close the compressed air pipeline 12. When the combined air conditioner requires self-cleaning, the electric valve 14 opens, the compressed air pipeline 12 is opened, and compressed air is transmitted to the air purging component 13, which blows away dust from the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2. When the combined air conditioner does not require self-cleaning, the electric valve 14 closes, and the compressed air pipeline 12 is shut off. In this embodiment, the controller 200 can be manually or automatically controlled to open or close the electric valve 14.

[0035] In one implementation, reference Figure 2 The air purging device also includes a drive component 15, which is connected to the air purging component and is communicatively connected to the controller. The drive component 15 drives the air purging component to move in a plane parallel to the coarse filter section. When the controller activates the self-cleaning function, it controls the drive component 15 to turn on, driving the air purging component to move. In this way, dust can be purged from the entire coarse filter section and / or the surface cooling section.

[0036] For example, see Figure 2 The drive component 15 includes a driver 151 (e.g., a motor) and a slide rail 152. The driver 151 is communicatively connected to the controller, and the air purging component is slidably mounted on the slide rail 152. The length direction of the slide rail 152 may be parallel to the width direction of the combined air conditioner.

[0037] In some implementations, reference continues. Figure 1The modular air conditioner also includes an airflow sensor 300, which is located on the side of the coarse filter section 1 facing the cooling surface section 2. The airflow sensor 300 can be electrically connected to the processor of the modular air conditioner. The airflow collected by the airflow sensor 300 is sent to the processor. The processor detects the airflow and, when it detects that the airflow is less than a preset airflow threshold (indicating that the outlet temperature is not ideal), triggers an alarm to prompt that the coarse filter section 1 and / or the cooling surface section 2 need to be cleaned.

[0038] In some implementations, reference continues. Figure 1 The vacuuming device 20 includes a vacuum cleaner 21 and a vacuum pipe 22. The vacuum cleaner 21 is connected to the vacuum pipe 22 and is communicatively connected to the controller 200. The vacuum pipe 22 is located at the front end of the coarse filter section 1, between the coarse filter section 1 and the surface cooling section 2, and / or at the rear end of the surface cooling section 2. In this embodiment, the vacuum cleaner 21 provides suction power so that the vacuum pipe 22 can suck up dust from the air conditioner's housing cavity. The vacuum cleaner 21 includes a storage box to collect dust. The vacuum cleaner 21 is connected to one or more branched vacuum pipes 22. When there is one vacuum pipe 22, it can be located at the front end of the coarse filter section 1, between the coarse filter section 1 and the surface cooling section 2, or at the rear end of the surface cooling section 2. When there are multiple vacuum pipes 22, the different vacuum pipes 22 can be located in the above-mentioned different positions.

[0039] For example, the outlet of the suction pipe 22 is provided with a funnel-shaped suction port. This can improve the dust suction effect.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, the working principle of the self-cleaning function of the combined air conditioner is described below.

[0041] When the airflow sensor 300 detects that the airflow at the coarse filter section 1 is less than the preset airflow threshold, it prompts that the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2 need to be cleaned. When the combined air conditioner stops, the automatic or manual control controller 300 opens the electric valve 14 on the compressed air pipeline 12, and the compressed air enters the air purging component 13. The compressed air blows the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2 through the nozzle on the air purging component 13. The driver 151 drives the air purging component 13 to move back and forth on the slide rail 152 to achieve the dust blowing work of the entire coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2. At the same time, the vacuum cleaner 21 collects and processes the dust through the suction pipe 22, thereby achieving the effect of automatic cleaning of the coarse filter section 1 and / or the surface cooling section 2 of the combined air conditioner.

[0042] Alternatively, the coarse filter section 1 and / or the cooling coil section 2 of the combined air conditioner can be automatically cleaned by setting a timer on the controller.

[0043] The modular air conditioner disclosed in this embodiment of the invention achieves self-cleaning of the filter and / or cooling surface by adding an air purging device and a dust collection device. The air purging device blows away dust from the coarse filter section and / or the cooling surface section, while the dust collection device collects and processes the dust blown away by the air purging device. Thus, this invention achieves self-cleaning of the modular air conditioner, avoids damage to the filter caused by frequent disassembly and assembly, and saves labor costs.
