This embodiment adopts to add on water course structure 3 and establishes a washing wind wheel 2, with its design in the water course inboard, the mounted position is in the middle of the water course structure 3 of drain pan (the inner bottom of casing), the diameter size of washing wind wheel 2 is less than the wind channel width, can touch the 3 both sides of water course structure of drain pan and produce resonance when avoiding moving, also avoid washing wind wheel 2 not time spent not can not influence the flow of air conditioner comdenstion water in the drain pan water course simultaneously, do not influence the air conditioner normal use.

Preferably: the waterway structure 3 extends along a lower edge of the evaporator assembly 4. Correspondingly, the cleaning wind wheel 2 is arranged along the direction of the water channel structure 3. Further, washing the wind wheel 2 includes: a plurality of ribs 12, a plurality of ribs 12 are arranged along the trend of water course structure 3 and are distributed around same circle interval. The multiple ribs 12 are arc-shaped plates, and the surfaces of the arc-shaped plates are bent towards the same side direction of the circle.

Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: the cleaning wind wheel 2 in the embodiment is formed by staggering dozens of arc-shaped ribs 12, and has the effect that the rotation of the cleaning wind flow drives water in a water channel to form a vortex through the arc-shaped ribs 12 better, so that the cleaning effect is better achieved. As shown in fig. 4-5.

As shown in fig. 3, preferably: the cleaning wind wheel 2 in the embodiment is installed on the inner side of the air duct through the motor, and the cleaning wind wheel 2 is driven to rotate through the rotation of the motor. The opening and closing mechanism drives the transmission gear 9 to rotate through the driving mechanism to control the opening and closing of the opening and closing baffle plate, so that the water outlet is opened and closed.

As shown in fig. 3, further, the driving mechanism includes: the first driving motor 6 is fixed on the shell 1 and used for driving the opening and closing mechanism to open/close through a transmission gear 9; and a second driving motor 5, wherein the second driving motor 5 is fixed on the shell 1 and is used for driving the cleaning wind wheel 2 to rotate.

Preferably: the drain outlet of drain pan water course structure 3's one end design in this embodiment and add and establish an opening and shutting mechanism, the effect can accept the comdenstion water that the evaporimeter produced when being closed for water course department has enough water to provide washs wind wheel 2 and rotates, and the opening and shutting mechanism of drain outlet is installed in the left side of drain pan, realizes opening and shutting of drain outlet through the rotation of motor and reaches the effect of retaining and drainage.

As shown in fig. 3, the opening and closing mechanism further includes: a stop plate. The stopper plate includes: a plate body 8 and a rack 7. The plate body 8 is movably arranged at the water drainage port; the rack gear 7 is provided at one side of the plate body 8 for engaging with the driving gear 9 to drive the plate body 8 to perform an opening/closing action at the drain port by the first driving motor 6. A clamping groove 11 is formed between the rack 7 and the plate body 8, and the clamping groove is used for clamping with a fixing plate on the shell 1 so that the plate body 8 can be movably arranged at the water drainage port. A guide structure 10 is provided on one or both sides of the fixed plate, which cooperate with the locking grooves 11, and the guide structure 10 is used to guide the stopper plate on its moving path when the opening/closing mechanism is driven to open/close. The second driving motor 5 is fixed in the middle of the bottom shell water channel with the cleaning wind wheel 2 in a screw mode. Optionally: the guide structure is a guide bar or a guide groove which is arranged on the shell along the movement direction of the stop plate; and correspondingly, one side of the rack 7 close to the fixed plate is provided with a guide groove or a guide strip, and one side of the plate body close to the fixed plate is provided with a guide groove or a guide strip.

When the water outlet is arranged at one end of the water channel structure 3, the stop plate can be movably arranged at the water outlet along the vertical direction. Namely: the stopper plate is driven to move up and down by a first driving motor 6. Furthermore, the direction of movement of the stop plate can also be changed to horizontal, i.e.: a first driving motor 6 is adopted to drive the stop plate to move left and right through a rack 7, and the water outlet is opened and closed.

To further explain the present embodiment, the self-cleaning process of the air conditioner will be described with reference to the air conditioner in the embodiment.

This wash water course structure 3 of drain pan and wash wind wheel 2's compound mode is that the application air conditioner produces the comdenstion water at the evaporimeter in service, and the drain outlet department of the water course structure 3 of drain pan adds and establishes the control of the office of opening and shutting, evaporates when the air conditioner operation and produces the comdenstion water, is in the closure state when the office of opening and shutting and closes the outlet promptly, can amass the comdenstion water in the water course structure 3 of drain pan, and the rotation through wasing wind wheel 2 drives water production swirl and washs the drain pan water course. The cleaning assembly for cleaning the bottom shell is divided into a water channel structure 3 and a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism is mainly divided into two parts, including a motor providing kinetic energy and a cleaning wind wheel 2 for cleaning function. The diameter size of the cleaning wind wheel 2 is smaller than the width of the air duct, so that the phenomenon that the cleaning wind wheel 2 touches two sides of the bottom shell water channel to generate resonance during operation is avoided, the phenomenon that the flow of condensed water of an air conditioner is not influenced when the cleaning wind wheel 2 is not used in the bottom shell water channel is avoided, and the normal use of the air conditioner is not influenced when the cleaning wind wheel is not used. The cleaning wind wheel 2 is formed by staggering dozens of arc-shaped ribs 12 and has the function that the rotation of the cleaning wind flow drives water in the water channel to form a vortex through the arc-shaped ribs 12 better, so that the cleaning effect is better achieved. And a driving motor of the opening and closing mechanism at the water outlet is fixed with the bottom shell, the opening and closing mechanism is connected with a transmission gear 9 to control the opening and closing baffle to lift, and a clamping groove 11 (a motion groove) formed between the plate body 8 and the rack 7 allows the baffle plate to move up and down at the bottom shell. When the transmission gear 9 is rotated by the power provided by the motor, the stop plate is driven to move up and down, so that the opening and closing of the water outlet are controlled. When the function moves, the mechanism of opening and shutting is in the closure state, drain port closure of drain pan water course structure 3, the water course structure of drain pan holds the comdenstion water that full evaporimeter produced (the comdenstion water in the water course structure reaches the predetermined water yield), wash wind wheel 2 and rotate in aqueous through the power that second driving motor 5 provided, arc rib 12 through wasing wind wheel 2 drives the aquatic and produces the swirl, wash the drain pan water course, after the washing is accomplished, the mechanism of opening and shutting of drain port department is opened, the backstop board is opened through drive gear 9's rotation promptly, drain port department of drain pan is opened, the water after the washing water course passes through the outlet and flows out the abluent process of accomplishing outward of air conditioner.

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are specifically illustrated and described above. It is to be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the precise arrangements, instrumentalities, or instrumentalities described herein; on the contrary, the disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
