The filter device 16 is arranged on the housing 12 . The filter device 16 completely covers the air inlet 122 . It can be understood that the area of the filter device 16 is basically the same as the cross-sectional area of the air inlet 122 , and the filter device 16 filters all the airflow entering the housing 12 from the air inlet 122 . The filtering device 16 is used for preliminary filtering, filtering particulate impurities of micron level and larger than micron level. The filtering device 16 is a HEPA filter, namely High Efficiency Particle Air Filter. Of course, in other embodiments, the filter device 16 is not limited to a HEPA filter, and may also be other types of filter devices 16, such as a common grid filter.

The ion generator 14 is arranged at the air inlet 122 , and the filter device 16 and the ion generator 14 are arranged in sequence along the direction from the outside to the inside of the casing 12 . It can be understood that when the air flow enters the inside of the casing 12 from the outside of the casing 12 , it flows through the filter device 16 and the ion generator 14 in sequence.

The ion generator 14 comprises a generator pole plate 142 and an electrode dust accumulation plate 144, the electrode dust accumulation plate 144 is closer to the inside of the housing 12 than the generator pole plate 142, the filter device 16 is carried on the generator pole plate 142, and the generator The pole plate 142 corresponds to the filter device 16 (the cross-sectional area is basically the same, and the installation position in the air inlet direction is also corresponding) so that the air passing through the filter device 16 can pass through the generator pole plate 142 . It can be understood that when the air flow enters the inside of the casing 12 from the outside of the casing 12 , it flows through the filter device 16 , the generator plate 142 and the electrode dust collecting plate 144 in sequence. There is a large amount of charge on the generator plate 142, so that the surrounding air is ionized to form a corona discharge phenomenon. It can be understood that when the air flow passes through the generator plate 142 , impurities such as water droplets and particles mixed in the air flow will also be charged. For example, when the generator plate 142 is positively charged, the surrounding air is positively charged under the action of corona discharge, and when the air flow passes through the generator plate 142, impurities such as water droplets and particles mixed in the air flow will also Positively charged.

The electrode dust collecting plate 144 is arranged on the side of the generator plate 142 opposite to the filter device 16 and spaced from the generator plate 142 .

It will be appreciated that the generator plate 142 is positively charged and the electrode dust plate 144 is negatively or uncharged. In this way, water droplets, particles and other impurities mixed in the air flow are positively charged after passing through the generator plate 142. Under the action of the electric field, the positively charged water droplets, particles and other impurities are attracted to the electrode by the same force as the direction of the electric field. On the dust collecting plate 144, it is filtered out from the air flow.

The electrode dust collecting plate 144 includes a base body 1442 and a plurality of electrode plates 1444 extending from the base body 1442 into the housing 12 . The plurality of electrode plates 1444 are arranged at intervals and form a plurality of air inlet channels 1446 .

For example, when the air conditioner 10 is an indoor air conditioner and the working state is cooling, the heat exchanger 18 is an evaporator. The refrigerant is evaporated by the evaporator, the refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat, and reduces the temperature of the air flow to realize the cooling function. When the working state of the air conditioner 10 is heating, the heat exchanger 18 is a condenser, and the condenser is used to condense the refrigerant. When the refrigerant condenses, it releases heat to increase the temperature of the air flow to realize the heating function.

The flow direction of the air flow is shown in the direction of the arrow in Figure 1. The air flow enters the interior of the housing 12 from the air inlet 122 through the air inlet channel 1446, and the air flow flows through the filter device 16, the generator plate 142 and the electrode dust accumulation plate in sequence. 144. The air flow first passes through the filter device 16, and the filter device 16 preliminarily filters the air flow to filter out micron-sized or even smaller particles mixed in the air flow. The air flow passes through the ion generator 14 again, and the ion generator 14 applies an electric field force to the air flow to further filter the air flow and filter out fine particles mixed in the air flow.

Still further, a plurality of pole plates 1444 are arranged at intervals to form a plurality of air inlet passages 1446, and the plurality of pole plates 1444 are parallel to each other, so that the air flow entering the housing 12 is divided into multiple sub-air flows, which play the role of rectification. Further reduce wind resistance.

In addition, a plurality of pole plates 1444 are equidistantly arranged, so that the air flow entering the housing 12 is evenly divided into multiple sub-air flows, and the amount of impurities such as water droplets and particles mixed in each sub-air flow is basically the same, so that each pole plate 1444 The impurity can be adsorbed evenly, and the impurity attached to the individual plate 1444 is prevented from affecting the adsorption effect due to the uneven impurity carried by each sub-airflow.

The air conditioner 10 further includes a fan 19 disposed in the housing 12 , and the fan 19 is used to discharge the air flowing into the housing 12 out of the housing 12 . The fan 19 is disposed downstream of the plurality of air intake passages 1446 . The fan 19 is located between the air outlet 127 and the heat exchanger 18 , specifically, the fan 19 is disposed near the air outlet 127 . In this way, the air flowing into the casing 12 passes through the heat exchanger 18 to exchange heat sufficiently, and then is discharged out of the casing 12 under the action of the fan 19 . Because the wind speed of the ion wind is relatively slow, the flow velocity of the air entering the housing 12 and flowing out from the housing 12 is relatively slow. By setting the fan 19, the speed at which the air enters the housing 12 and flows out from the housing 12 is increased. , thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner 10 .

Certainly, in other embodiments, the fan 19 may also be located between the air inlet 122 and the heat exchanger 18 . Because the wind speed of the ion wind is relatively slow, by setting the fan 19 between the air inlet 122 and the heat exchanger 18, the speed of the air entering the housing 12 is improved, thereby passing through the ion generator 20 within a certain period of time and being absorbed by it. The clean air is increased so that more clean air can be introduced into the heat exchanger 30 .

In other embodiments, the fan 19 may also be a cross-flow fan wheel.
