Referring to fig. 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, fig. 5 is a second schematic structural view of a wall-mounted air conditioner according to the present invention, fig. 6 is an enlarged view of a portion B of fig. 5, and fig. 7 is an enlarged view of a portion C of fig. 5. As shown in fig. 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7, the cleaning unit includes a transmission assembly including two sets of a first lead screw-nut mechanism 5 and a second lead screw-nut mechanism 6 parallel to each other, the first lead screw-nut mechanism 5 including a first lead screw 51, a first nut 52 and a first rotating shaft 53, the second lead screw-nut mechanism 6 including a second lead screw 61, a second nut 62 and a second rotating shaft 63, and the first driving member 3 including a first motor 31 and a second motor 32. In the case where the wall-mounted air conditioner is operated or not operated, the first motor 31 drives the first lead screw 51 to rotate, the second motor 32 drives the second lead screw 61 to rotate, and the first nut 52 and the second nut 62 move along the first lead screw 51 and the second lead screw 61, respectively.
With continued reference to fig. 1, 2, 6 and 7 and in the orientation shown in fig. 1, the housing is provided with a first mounting member 7 on the right side of the air intake grille 11, a second mounting member 8 on the left side, and the first and second lead screw-nut mechanisms 5, 6 are disposed between the first and second mounting members 7, 8.

Thus, the first lead screw nut mechanism 5 and the second lead screw nut mechanism 6 are fixed above the air inlet grille in parallel.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first nut 52 and the second nut 62 are respectively fitted to the movable member 4. Because the nut can have actions of rotating around the lead screw and translating along the lead screw when moving along the lead screw, the first nut 52 is connected with the second lead screw 61 through the movable component 4, the second nut 62 is connected with the first lead screw 51 through the movable component 4, the force of the first nut 52 rotating around the first lead screw 51 is restrained under the restraint of the movable component 4 and the second lead screw 61, and the force of the second nut 62 rotating around the second lead screw 61 is restrained under the restraint of the movable component 4 and the first lead screw 51, so that the first nut 52 and the second nut 62 respectively translate along the first lead screw 51 and the second lead screw 61, and the movable component 4 can be driven to move along the moving direction of the first nut 52 and the second nut 62. Taking the orientation shown in fig. 1 as an example, when the first nut 52 and the second nut 62 move from left to right, the movable member 4 is driven to move from left to right, and when the first nut 52 and the second nut 62 move from right to left, the movable member 4 is driven to move from right to left, that is, when the first nut 52 and the second nut 62 move from left to right, the movable member 4 can move back and forth from left to right, and further the air supply member 2 can be driven to move back and forth from left to right, so that the air coming out from the air supply member 2 can be blown to different parts of the air inlet grille 11, and the dust at the air inlet grille can be blown off better.
It is to be understood that the first nut and the second nut may also have other moving directions, such as forward and backward, and the moving directions of the first nut and the second nut are related to the extending directions of the first lead screw and the second lead screw, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select the arrangement of the first lead screw-nut mechanism and the second lead screw-nut mechanism according to specific application scenarios so as to adapt to more specific application scenarios.
It is understood that the transmission assembly may further include other numbers of lead screw and nut mechanisms parallel to each other, such as three sets, etc., and those skilled in the art can flexibly select the number of lead screw and nut mechanisms according to specific application scenarios so as to adapt to more specific application occasions.
Alternatively, the transmission assembly comprises a screw nut mechanism and a guide rod parallel to the screw, a nut of the screw nut mechanism is embedded in the movable member, the guide rod penetrates through the movable member, and the nut is connected with the guide rod through the movable member, so that the nut translates along the screw under the constraint of the movable member and the guide rod, and further drives the movable member to reciprocate along the moving direction of the nut. Obviously, the guide rod may be a single rod or a plurality of rods, and in the case that the guide rod is a plurality of rods, the guide rod may be located on one side of the screw rod or on both sides of the screw rod, and those skilled in the art may flexibly select the number and the arrangement mode of the guide rod according to a specific application scenario so as to adapt to a more specific application scenario.
In one possible embodiment, the housing is provided with a first stop structure (e.g., a stop) adjacent to the first mounting member on the right side and a second stop structure (e.g., a stop) adjacent to the second mounting member on the left side, such that the movable member is blocked from moving toward the first mounting member by the first stop structure and the movable member is blocked from moving toward the second mounting member by the second stop structure. Through the arrangement mode, when extreme conditions occur, if the first motor and the second motor both have faults, the first lead screw and the second lead screw cannot be stopped to rotate timely, namely, the movable component cannot be stopped to move towards the first mounting component or the second mounting component, and then the movable component collides with the first mounting component or the second mounting component, rubs and the like.
In summary, in the preferred technical solution of the present invention, a cleaning unit is disposed at the air inlet grille to blow off the dust at the air inlet grille. The cleaning unit comprises an air supply component, a first motor, a second motor, a first nut, a first lead screw, a second nut, a second lead screw and a movable component, wherein the air supply component is arranged on the movable component, an air supply channel is arranged on the movable component, a communicating structure is arranged at the downstream end of the air supply channel along the air supply direction, the first nut and the second nut are respectively embedded in the movable component, the first lead screw and the second lead screw are respectively driven to rotate by the first motor and the second motor, and the first nut and the second nut move along the lead screw and then drive the movable component to move back and forth along the moving direction of the first nut and the second nut. Through the arrangement, under the condition of cleaning the air inlet grille, the air sent out from the air supply component sequentially reaches the air inlet grille through the air supply channel and the communication structure, and the air supply component moves back and forth along the length direction of the screw rod through the movement of the movable component, so that the air sent out from the air supply component can continuously reach different parts of the air inlet grille along the length direction of the screw rod, and the dust on the air inlet grille can be blown off better.
