Of course, the positioning slider 173a may be a rectangular slider or an elliptical slider, and the like, and is not particularly limited herein.
Note that, in the present embodiment, the long axis width of the positioning slider 173a refers to the distance between the two points farthest on the cross section of the positioning slider 173a, for example, when the positioning slider 173a is a kidney-shaped slider, the long axis width refers to the distance between the two ends of the kidney-shaped slider in the long axis direction, and when the positioning slider 173a is a rectangular slider, the long axis width refers to the distance between the two points on the diagonal line.
In summary, the driving process of the self-cleaning mechanism 100 of the air conditioner provided in this embodiment is as follows, when cleaning is required, the first driving member 171 and the second driving member 173 are started, the second driving member 173 drives the cleaning brush roller 110 to rotate, the first driving member 171 drives the driving gear 177 to rotate, under the meshing effect of the driving rack 191, the first driving member 171 drives the driving box 175 to move along the driving chute 151, the cleaning brush roller 110 is driven by the second driving member 173 to slide upwards along the inclined guide hole 175e and move upwards along the second guide groove 137 and enter the first guide groove 135, so that the cleaning brush roller 110 leaves the brush roller accommodating groove 139, and under the continuous driving effect of the first driving member 171, the cleaning brush roller 110 moves along the first guide groove 135 and moves along the width direction of the air duct 180, thereby cleaning the air duct 180 is achieved. When the cleaning brush roller 110 moves to the upper limit position along the first guide groove 135, the wind sweeping gap is narrowed, so that the wind wheel can be contacted with the cleaning brush roller 110, at the moment, the first driving piece 171 and the second driving piece 173 are stopped, and the wind wheel is started at a low speed, so that the cleaning of the wind wheel is realized. After the cleaning is completed, the first driving member 171 is reversely started, so that the cleaning brush roller 110 is driven to move downwards along the first guide groove 135 and enter the second guide groove 137, and after entering the second guide groove 137, the cleaning brush roller 110 moves downwards along the inclined guide hole 175e under the driving of the second driving member 173, so that the cleaning brush roller 110 is brought into the brush roller accommodating groove 139, the storage of the cleaning brush roller 110 is realized, and the cleaning work is completed. The self-cleaning mechanism 100 for air conditioner provided in this embodiment is stable in driving, and can realize automatic cleaning of the air duct 180 and the wind wheel, and has a good cleaning effect.
Second embodiment
The present embodiment provides an air conditioner, including a wind wheel, an air conditioner housing, and an air conditioner self-cleaning mechanism 100, wherein the basic structure and principle of the air conditioner self-cleaning mechanism 100 and the technical effects thereof are the same as those of the first embodiment, and for brevity, the details of the first embodiment are referred to for the corresponding matters.
The air conditioner self-cleaning mechanism 100 comprises a cleaning brush roll 110, a base 130, a driving box 150 and a driving assembly 170, wherein the base 130 is arranged in an air conditioner shell, the base 130 is provided with an air duct 180, a wind wheel is assembled in the air duct 180, the cleaning brush roll 110 is arranged in the air duct 180, the driving box 150 is arranged on the base 130, the driving assembly 170 is accommodated in the driving box 150 and is in transmission connection with the cleaning brush roll 110, a transmission piece 190 is arranged in the driving box 150, the transmission piece 190 is in transmission connection with the driving assembly 170, the driving assembly 170 is used for moving in the driving box 150 under the driving of the transmission piece 190, and the cleaning brush roll 110 is used for rotating under the driving of the driving assembly 170 and moves along the air duct 180.
The base 130 includes a bottom shell 131 and side plates 133 disposed on two sides of the bottom shell 131, an air channel 180 is formed by surrounding an inner side surface of the bottom shell 131 and an inner side surface of the two side plates 133, and the driving box 150 is disposed on the side plates 133. Specifically, the driving box 150 is detachably disposed on the outer side surface of the side plates 133, two ends of the wind wheel are respectively rotatably assembled on the two side plates 133, the inner side surfaces of the bottom shell 131 form the bottom wall of the air duct 180, the inner side surfaces of the two side plates 133 form the side wall of the air duct 180, in this embodiment, a wind sweeping gap exists between the bottom shell 131 and the wind wheel, and the air flow generated by the wind wheel is blown out from the air outlet after passing through the wind sweeping gap, so as to realize air outlet.
Although the present invention is disclosed above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and the scope of the invention should be assessed accordingly to that of the appended claims.
