Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features.

[0032] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration."

The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] This application provides an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the air conditioner includes a housing 100 and a purification device 200. The housing 100 is provided with an air inlet 101. The purification device 200 includes an IFD dust collection module 210, which is located inside the housing 100 and close to the air inlet 101. The IFD dust collection module 210 includes a fixing base 211 and a dust collection block 212. The fixing base 211 is fixed to the housing 100 and is provided with two conductive elastic elements 213. The dust collection block 212 is provided with two conductive rods 214. The two conductive rods 214 are inserted into the two conductive elastic elements 213 in a one-to-one correspondence and are interference-fitted with the conductive elastic elements 213.

[0034] The air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has an IFD dust collection module 210 positioned near the air inlet 101. The IFD dust collection module 210 includes a fixing base 211 and a dust collection block 212. The fixing base 211 is fixed to the housing 100 and has two conductive elastic elements 213. The dust collection block 212 has two conductive rods 214. The two conductive rods 214 are inserted into the two conductive elastic elements 213 in a one-to-one correspondence and are interference-fitted with the conductive elastic elements 213. This makes the assembly of the IFD dust collection module 210 simple. The dust collection block 212 can be quickly disassembled by pulling the conductive rods 214 out of the conductive elastic elements 213 for cleaning. After cleaning, the conductive rods 214 can be inserted back into the conductive elastic elements 213 for interference fit. This effectively improves the ease of disassembly and cleaning of the IFD dust collection module 210.

[0035] Specifically, the conductive elastic element 213 has a certain elasticity. When it is necessary to replace or clean the dust collection block 212, the dust collection block 212 is moved away from the fixed seat 211 along the axial direction of the conductive rod 214 until the conductive rod 214 is pulled out from the conductive elastic element 213, so that the dust collection block 212 can be separated from the fixed seat 211, and the dust collection block 212 can be cleaned or replaced. When it is necessary to assemble the dust collection block 212 and the fixed seat 211, the dust collection block 212 is moved closer to the fixed seat 211 along the axial direction of the conductive rod 214 until the conductive rod 214 is inserted into the conductive elastic element 213 and an interference fit is formed, thereby completing the installation of the dust collection block 212.

[0036] Understandably, the IFD dust collection module 210 is located at the air inlet 101 of the housing 100. Since the dust collection block 212 has a hollow channel design, the loss of air intake for the air conditioner is minimal and does not affect the performance of the air conditioner. Charged dust particles in the air-conditioned space are brought into the air inlet 101 and adsorbed by the IFD dust collection module 210 located at the air inlet 101 through a strong electric field. At the same time, bacteria and microorganisms attached to the dust particles are also killed in the strong electric field, thus achieving the effect of purifying indoor air.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the conductive elastic element 213 includes a connecting portion 2131 and two mating portions 2132, which are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the connecting portion 2131. One end of each mating portion 2132 is connected to the connecting portion 2131, and the other ends of the mating portions 2132 are inclined towards each other. A conductive rod 214 is inserted between the two mating portions 2132 and is in an interference fit with the two mating portions 2132. In this way, the conductive rod 214 can be inserted into the conductive elastic element 213 and in an interference fit with the conductive elastic element 213.

[0038] Optionally, the conductive elastic element 213 further includes two guide portions 2133. One end of each guide portion 2133 is connected to the end of each mating portion 2132 away from the connecting portion 2131, and the other ends of the guide portions 2133 are inclined away from each other. By providing the two guide portions 2133 of the above structure, the two guide portions 2133 can guide the conductive rod 214 between the two mating portions 2132, so that the conductive rod 214 can be inserted more smoothly between the two mating portions 2132 and have an interference fit with the two mating portions 2132, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the conductive rod 214 and improving the assembly efficiency of the dust collection block 212 and the fixing seat 211.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, a receiving groove 215 is formed on the top of the fixing base 211, and a conductive elastic element 213 is accommodated in the receiving groove 215. An opening is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 215 near the dust collection block 212 for a conductive rod 214 to pass through. The conductive rod 214 can pass through the opening and be inserted into the conductive elastic element 213 accommodated in the receiving groove 215, forming an interference fit with the conductive elastic element 213. By accommodating the conductive elastic element 213 in the receiving groove 215, the space of the receiving groove 215 can be fully utilized, improving space utilization and making the overall structure inside the air conditioner more compact.

[0040] Optionally, a positioning element is provided on the inner wall of the housing 100. The positioning element is located below the dust collection block 212, and the top surface of the positioning element abuts against the bottom surface of the dust collection block 212. By providing the positioning element, on the one hand, it can play a positioning role during the installation of the dust collection block 212, which helps to improve the installation efficiency of the dust collection block 212; on the other hand, it can play a supporting role after the dust collection block 212 is installed, which helps to improve the installation stability of the dust collection block 212.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 100 is further provided with an air outlet 102, and the purification device 200 also includes a first charged module 220 and a high-voltage transformer 230. The first charged module 220 is disposed at the air outlet 102, and the first charged module 220 and the conductive elastic element 213 are electrically connected to the high-voltage transformer 230 through wires. By separating the two core modules, the first charged module 220 and the IFD dust collection module 210, the structure of the purification device 200 is simplified, avoiding the occupation of a large space; moreover, the IFD dust collection module 210 and the first charged module 220 are respectively disposed at the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, which is more in line with the principle of whole-unit air supply and whole-unit air return of the air conditioner.

[0042] Understandably, by placing the IFD dust collection module 210 at the air inlet 101 of the air conditioner and the first charging module 220 at the air outlet 102 of the air conditioner, the dust particles in the indoor air are charged under the action of the first charging module 220. The charged dust particles are adsorbed by the strong electric field generated by the IFD dust collection module 210. At the same time, bacteria and microorganisms attached to the dust particles are also killed in the strong electric field, thus achieving the effect of purifying the indoor air.

[0043] Optionally, the first charge module 220 is detachably mounted on the housing 100. Detachably mounting the first charge module 220 on the housing 100 facilitates its maintenance and replacement. For example, the first charge module 220 can be detachably mounted on the housing 100 via a snap-fit ​​connection or a screw connection.

[0044] Optionally, the first charging module 220 is a negative ion emitter (e.g., Figure 8 and Figure 9 (as shown), charged carbon brushes, charged needle tips, or other charged components that can charge dust particles.

[0045] For example, when the first charged module 220 is a negative ion emitter, the conductor includes multiple grounding wires and multiple negative high-voltage wires. The first charged module 220 and one of the conductive elastic elements 213 are connected to the high-voltage transformer 230 through different negative high-voltage grounding wires. The first charged module 220 and another conductive elastic element 213 are connected to the high-voltage transformer 230 through different grounding wires. Since the two conductive rods 214 and the two conductive elastic elements 213 are interference-fitted, an electrical connection is achieved between the two conductive rods 214 and the two conductive elastic elements 213, so that the high-voltage transformer 230 can transmit high voltage and grounding to the IFD dust collection module 210. It can be understood that the negative ion emitter located at the air outlet 102 can generate a large number of negative ions. The negative ions are blown into the room with the airflow of the air conditioner, come into contact with the dust particles in the room, and make the dust particles charged. The charged particles are carried into the air inlet 101 by the indoor return air and are adsorbed by the IFD dust collection module 210 located at the air inlet 101 through a strong electric field, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the indoor air.

[0046] Optionally, the number of first charging modules 220 can be one or more. When there are multiple first charging modules 220, they are arranged at intervals along the length of the air outlet 102. By setting multiple first charging modules 220, the charging efficiency can be improved. For example, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, there are two first charged modules 220, and the two first charged modules 220 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air outlet 102.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, the air conditioner further includes a fresh air device 300, which has a fresh air outlet 301; the charging module includes a second charging module 240, which is disposed at the fresh air outlet 301 and is electrically connected to the high-voltage transformer 230 via a wire. By disposing of the second charging module 240 at the fresh air outlet 301, the second charging module 240 can charge any dust particles that may be present in the fresh air introduced from the outside. The charged dust particles in the space are brought into the air inlet 101 and adsorbed by the IFD dust collection module 210 located at the air inlet 101 through a strong electric field, achieving an all-round air purification effect.

[0048] It is understandable that this application provides centralized power to the first charged module 220, the second charged module 240 and the IFD dust collection module 210 through a high-voltage transformer 230, which greatly simplifies the structural design and saves assembly space.

[0049] Optionally, the second charged module 240 is detachably mounted on the fresh air unit 300. Detachably mounting the second charged module 240 on the fresh air unit 300 facilitates its maintenance and replacement. For example, the second charged module 240 can be detachably mounted on the fresh air unit 300 via a snap-fit ​​connection or a screw connection.

[0050] Optionally, the second charging module 240 is a negative ion emitter and a charged carbon brush (such as...). Figure 10 and Figure 11 (as shown) or a charged needle tip.

[0051] For example, when the second charging module 240 is a charged carbon brush, the conductors include a grounding wire and multiple negative high-voltage wires. The first charging module 220 and one of the conductive elastic elements 213 are connected to the high-voltage transformer 230 through different negative high-voltage grounding wires. The other conductive elastic element 213 is connected to the high-voltage transformer 230 through a grounding wire. Since the two conductive rods 214 and the two conductive elastic elements 213 are interference-fitted, an electrical connection is achieved between the two conductive rods 214 and the two conductive elastic elements 213, so that the high-voltage transformer 230 can transmit high voltage and grounding to the IFD dust collection module 210. The charged carbon brush located at the fresh air outlet 301 continuously ionizes the air under the action of negative high voltage, generating a huge amount of negative ions. These ions are then dispersed into the indoor air by the fresh air flow at the fresh air outlet 301. This process can charge dust particles in the indoor air and dust particles that may be present in the fresh air. The charged particles in the space are carried into the air inlet 101 by the indoor return air and adsorbed by the IFD dust collection module 210 located at the air inlet 101 through a strong electric field, thus achieving the effect of purifying the indoor air.
