Detailed Description

The principles and features of the present utility model are described below with reference to the drawings, the examples are illustrated for the purpose of illustrating the utility model and are not to be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model.

As shown in fig. 10 to 12, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a sterilization apparatus 100, including: a sterilization module 1 and a power module 2.

Wherein the sterilization module 1 is provided with a mounting structure. The mounting structure is provided to be detachably connected to the air conditioner 200 so that the sterilizing device 100 is detachably mounted to the air conditioner 200 as shown in fig. 18 to 22.

The power supply module 2 is electrically connected to the sterilization module 1 and is provided to supply power to the sterilization module 1 independently of the air conditioner 200.

The sterilization device 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a power module 2 and a sterilization module 1. The sterilization module 1 can be detachably mounted on the air conditioner 200 through a mounting structure, so as to sterilize bacteria attached to the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200. Because the power module 2 is independent of the air conditioner 200 and can be used for independently taking electricity, the sterilizing device 100 can be independently started in the state that the air conditioner 200 is shut down, and generated sterilizing substances can be diffused into the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200 to kill bacteria attached to the heat exchanger, the wind wheel and other positions in the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200. In the on state of the air conditioner 200, the sterilizing device 100 may be turned on, so that the sterilizing material generated by the sterilizing device 100 may be blown into the environment (e.g., indoor space) along with the air conditioner 200 to kill the ambient air.

Since the sterilizing apparatus 100 can be independently operated without depending on the air conditioner 200 and can be detachably mounted to the air conditioner 200 by the mounting structure, a user can additionally purchase the sterilizing apparatus 100 to be mounted to his own air conditioner 200 for use without having to purchase a specific model with the sterilizing module 1 for the purpose of sterilizing the interior of the air conditioner 200. In other words, the sterilization device 100 can be used as an accessory of the air conditioner 200 after leaving the factory, and can be purchased and used by a user according to the need, and can be applied to any model, so that the sterilization device has high universality.

Because the sterilizing apparatus 100 is detachable, a user can select to sterilize a plurality of air conditioners 200 in the home through one sterilizing apparatus 100, so that the use cost of the user can be reduced.

In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting structure includes: at least one set of mounting clips 111, as shown in fig. 1. The mounting buckle 111 is configured to be capable of being engaged with the air inlet grill 202 of the air conditioner 200, as shown in fig. 20, so that the sterilizing device 100 is engaged with the air conditioner 200, as shown in fig. 18 and 19.

The air intake grill 202 of the air conditioner 200 generally includes a plurality of ribs 2022 that are staggered laterally and longitudinally, as shown in fig. 18, 20, 21 and 22. The mounting buckle 111 may be clamped on the rib 2022 of the air inlet grille 202, as shown in fig. 20, so as to realize clamping and fixing. Thus, the sterilizing device 100 is clamped with the air inlet grille 202 of the air conditioner 200 through the mounting buckle 111, and the rib 2022 structure of the air inlet grille 202 of the air conditioner 200 is reasonably utilized to mount the sterilizing device 100, so that the mounting structure of the sterilizing device 100 is facilitated to be simplified. And the clamping assembly mode is convenient and quick no matter the assembly or the disassembly.

In addition, when the sterilizing device 100 is clamped at the air inlet grille 202 of the air conditioner 200 (the air inlet grille 202 is the air inlet of the air conditioner 200), sterilizing substances generated by the sterilizing device 100 can enter the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200 through the air inlet of the air conditioner 200, so that adhering bacteria in the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200 are killed. In addition, the air inlet of the air conditioner 200 is usually located at a relatively hidden position (for example, the air inlet of the on-hook is located at the top of the on-hook, and the air inlet of the cabinet is located at the back of the cabinet), so that the appearance of the air conditioner 200 is not affected by installing the sterilizing device 100 at the air inlet.

Of course, the mounting structure is not limited to the snap-fit manner, and may be a fastener-fit manner, or a fastener-snap-fit manner.

In some exemplary embodiments, each set of mounting tabs 111 includes a plurality of mounting tabs 111 spaced apart along the length of the sterilization module 1, as shown in fig. 1. The mounting structure further includes a length adjustment mechanism. The length adjustment mechanism is arranged to adjust the spacing between adjacent two mounting clips 111 in each set of mounting clips 111, as shown in fig. 2 to 9.

The size of the air inlet grill 202 varies from air conditioner 200 to air conditioner. Therefore, the distance between two adjacent mounting buckles 111 in each group of mounting buckles 111 can be adjusted through the length adjusting mechanism, so that the air inlet grille 202 of different types can be adapted, and the universality of the sterilizing device 100 can be improved.

The mounting structure may include only one set of mounting buckles 111, or may include multiple sets of mounting buckles 111, where the multiple sets of mounting buckles 111 may be disposed at intervals along the width direction of the sterilization module 1. A set of mounting tabs 111 may include two mounting tabs 111, as shown in fig. 1-9; a set of mounting clips 111 may also comprise three or even more mounting clips 111. Adjacent mounting tabs 111 may be disposed opposite one another.

In some exemplary embodiments, the length adjustment mechanism includes: the first chute 113, the two mounting seats 112 and the first elastic member 114 are shown in fig. 2 to 9.

The first chute 113 extends in the longitudinal direction of the sterilization module 1. The mounting buckle 111 is mounted on the mounting seat 112. At least one mounting seat 112 is mounted on the first sliding groove 113 and can slide along the first sliding groove 113 to adjust the interval between two adjacent mounting buckles 111. The first elastic member 114 is disposed in the first chute 113 and abuts against the mounting seat 112.

The length adjustment mechanism includes a first chute 113, two mounts 112, and a first resilient member 114. The first chute 113 may be provided on the mounting frame 11 of the sterilization module 1. The mounting seat 112 is a mounting carrier for mounting the buckle 111. At least one mounting seat 112 is slidably connected with the first chute 113, and since the first chute 113 extends along the length direction of the sterilization module 1, the mounting seat 112 slidably connected with the first chute 113 can slide along the first chute 113, and drives the mounting buckle 111 connected with the mounting seat to slide along the first chute 113, so that the interval between two adjacent mounting buckles 111 is changed.

The first elastic member 114 mainly uses its restoring elastic force to make the adjacent two mounting buckles 111 clamp the ribs 2022 on the air inlet grille 202, without fixing the mounting buckles 111 in other ways, so as to achieve the purpose of quick mounting. The first resilient member 114 may be, but is not limited to, a spring. Of course, the length adjusting mechanism may not include the first elastic member 114, and the buckle 111 may be fixedly mounted in other manners, for example: binding the mounting buckle 111 to the air inlet grille 202 through a binding band; or the mounting buckle 111 is fixed on the air inlet grille 202 through a clamp.

However, as shown in fig. 6 to 9, only one mounting seat 112 is slidably connected with the first chute 113, and the position of the other mounting seat 112 remains unchanged, so that the distance between two adjacent mounting buckles 111 can be changed by only sliding one mounting seat 112. In this case, one end of the first elastic member 114 abuts against the end wall of the first chute 113, and the other end abuts against the mount 112. The fixed mounting 112 may be integrally formed with the mounting 11 of the sterilization module 1.

As shown in fig. 2 to 5, both the mounting seats 112 are slidably connected to the first chute 113, and thus, the distance between the two adjacent mounting buckles 111 can be changed by sliding either one of the mounting seats 112 or simultaneously sliding both the mounting seats 112. In this case, the number of the first sliding grooves 113 may be one, and two ends of the first elastic member 114 may respectively abut against the two mounting seats 112; the number of the first sliding grooves 113 may be two, and the number of the first elastic members 114 may be two, and both the two first elastic members 114 may have one end abutting against the end wall of the first sliding groove 113 and the other end abutting against the corresponding mounting seat 112.

It will be appreciated that since the length adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the spacing between adjacent two mounting tabs 111, when a set of mounting tabs 111 includes at least three mounting tabs 111, the number of length adjustment mechanisms increases accordingly, but adjacent length adjustment mechanisms may share some structure (e.g., mounting base 112). Such as: the set of mounting buckles 111 includes three mounting buckles 111, and then two length adjustment mechanisms include three mounting seats 112 altogether, and the mounting seat 112 in the middle is the structure shared by two length adjustment mechanisms.

In some embodiments, the first elastic member 114 is a spring, and the wire diameter of the spring (the diameter of the spring wire, which may be steel wire) may be in the range of, but not limited to, 0.5mm to 4mm, such as 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, etc. The spring stiffness range of the spring may be, but is not limited to: in the range of 0.5N/mm to 15N/mm, such as 0.5N/mm, 1N/mm, 2N/mm, 3N/mm, 4N/mm, 5N/mm, 6N/mm, 7N/mm, 8N/mm, 9N/mm, 10N/mm, 11N/mm, 12N/mm, 13N/mm, 14N/mm, 15N/mm, etc.

In this way, the first elastic member 114 can effectively ensure that the mounting buckle 111 clamps the ribs 2022 of the air inlet grille 202, and the resistance of the sliding mounting seat 112 is not excessively large, so that the sterilizing device 100 can be quickly mounted.

In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting buckle 111 protrudes from the mounting seat 112 along the depth direction of the first sliding groove 113. The first sliding groove 113 is provided with a first limiting structure, and the first limiting structure is arranged to be matched with the mounting seat 112 so as to limit the mounting seat 112 to deviate from the first sliding groove 113 along the depth direction of the first sliding groove 113.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 14, 16 and 17, the first limiting structure includes a limiting groove 1131 including a groove wall provided at the first chute 113, and the limiting groove 1131 extends along a length direction of the first chute 113 and is recessed along a width direction of the first chute 113. The mounting base 112 is correspondingly provided with a limit protrusion 1122 in a protruding manner, and the limit protrusion 1122 is slidably embedded into the limit groove 1131.

In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting structure further comprises a height adjustment mechanism arranged to adjust the extent to which the mounting clasp 111 protrudes from the sterilization module 1. The mounting buckle 111 partially protrudes out of the sterilization module 1, so that the part of the mounting buckle 111 can be inserted into the air inlet grille 202 and hooked on the rib 2022 of the air inlet grille 202, and the clamping and fixing are realized.

The ribs 2022 of the air inlet grill 202 are different in thickness due to different air conditioners 200. Therefore, the protruding length of the mounting buckle 111 protruding from the sterilization module 1 can be adjusted through the height adjusting mechanism, so that the mounting buckle can be adapted to the air inlet grille 202 of different types, and the universality of the sterilization device 100 can be improved.

In some exemplary embodiments, the height adjustment mechanism includes: the mounting block 112 and the second resilient member 115 are shown in fig. 3, 5, 7, 9 and 20.

Wherein, the mounting seat 112 is provided with a second chute 1121. The second chute 1121 extends in the height direction of the sterilization module 1. The mounting buckle 111 is mounted on the mounting seat 112 and can slide along the second chute 1121.

The second elastic member 115 is located in the second chute 1121 and abuts against the mounting buckle 111.

The height adjustment mechanism includes a mounting base 112 and a second resilient member 115. The mounting seat 112 is a mounting carrier for mounting the buckle 111. The second slide slot 1121 is provided in the mounting seat 112, and the second slide slot 1121 extends in the height direction of the sterilization module 1, so that the mounting buckle 111 slidably connected to the second slide slot 1121 can slide along the second slide slot 1121, and the protruding length of the mounting buckle 111 is changed.

The second elastic member 115 mainly uses its restoring elastic force to make the mounting buckle 111 clamp the ribs 2022 on the air inlet grille 202, without fixing the mounting buckle 111 by other means, so as to achieve the purpose of quick mounting. The second elastic member 115 may be, but is not limited to, a spring.

Of course, the height adjusting mechanism may not include the second elastic member 115, and the fixing buckle 111 may be fixed by other manners, for example: binding the mounting buckle 111 to the air inlet grille 202 through a binding band; or the mounting buckle 111 is fixed on the air inlet grille 202 through a clamp.

In some embodiments, the second elastic member 115 is a spring, which may have a wire diameter in the range of, but not limited to, 0.5mm to 4mm, such as 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, etc. The spring stiffness range of the spring may be, but is not limited to: in the range of 0.5N/mm to 15N/mm, such as 0.5N/mm, 1N/mm, 2N/mm, 3N/mm, 4N/mm, 5N/mm, 6N/mm, 7N/mm, 8N/mm, 9N/mm, 10N/mm, 11N/mm, 12N/mm, 13N/mm, 14N/mm, 15N/mm, etc.

In this way, the second elastic member 115 can effectively ensure that the mounting buckle 111 clamps the ribs 2022 of the air inlet grille 202, and the resistance of the sliding mounting buckle 111 is not excessively large, so that the sterilizing device 100 can be quickly mounted.

In some exemplary embodiments, the mounting buckle 111 protrudes from the mounting seat 112 along the length direction of the second chute 1121. The mounting seat 112 is further provided with a second limiting structure, and the second limiting structure is arranged to be matched with the mounting buckle 111 so as to limit the mounting buckle 111 to deviate from the second sliding groove 1121 along the length direction of the second sliding groove 1121.

In one embodiment, the second limiting structure includes a limiting baffle (not shown) disposed at one end of the second chute 1121, and the limiting baffle protrudes toward the middle of the second chute 1121. The mounting buckle 111 is correspondingly provided with a limiting protrusion (not shown in the figure), and the limiting baffle can be matched with the limiting protrusion to limit the mounting buckle 111 from falling out of the second chute 1121 along the length direction of the second chute 1121.

Taking the wall-mounted air conditioner 200 as an example, as shown in fig. 1 and 18, the longitudinal direction of the sterilization module 1 is the horizontal direction, and the height direction of the sterilization module 1 is the up-down direction. The first chute 113 has a horizontal longitudinal direction and a vertical depth direction. The length direction of the second chute 1121 is the up-down direction.

The mounting seat 112 of the height adjusting mechanism and the mounting seat 112 of the length adjusting mechanism may be one component, which is beneficial to reducing the number of components of the sterilization device 100, simplifying the structure of the sterilization device 100, and reducing the production cost of the sterilization device 100.

And, the setting of length adjustment mechanism and high adjustment mechanism for the position of installation buckle 111 can nimble regulation. The adjustable mounting buckle 111 can adapt to and match the mounting structure size of different air conditioner 200 casing installations, satisfies the installation of most air conditioner 200 casings in the market, and the commonality is very good.

In some exemplary embodiments, the power module 2 may power the sterilization module 1 by connecting an external power source, such as by plugging in an external outlet via a power plug 22 (shown in fig. 10-12) or by connecting an external charger. The power supply module 2 may also be a power supply battery.

The power module 2 may be built in the sterilization module 1 (for example, fig. 1 may include only the sterilization module 1 in the configuration of fig. 1, or may be the whole sterilization apparatus 100 with the power module 2 built therein), or may be located outside the sterilization module 1, as shown in fig. 10 to 12.

In some exemplary embodiments, the sterilization module 1 is of unitary construction with the power module 2, as shown in fig. 10.

The sterilization module 1 and the power module 2 adopt an integrated structure, and can not be divided, thereby being beneficial to reducing the volume of the sterilization device 100.

In some exemplary embodiments, the sterilization module 1 and the power module 2 are of a split type structure and are connected by a power connection line 13, as shown in fig. 11 and 12.

The sterilization device 100 and the power module 2 are in a split type structure and are connected through a power connection wire 13, so that the power module 2 is conveniently installed at a proper position to be connected with an external power supply.

In some embodiments, the power connection line 13 is of unitary construction with the power module 2, as shown in fig. 11.

In this way, the user does not need to assemble the power connection line 13 with the power module 2, which is advantageous in simplifying the assembly process of the sterilization apparatus 100.

In other embodiments, the power connection wire 13 is provided with a connection plug 131, and as shown in fig. 12, the power module 2 is provided with a connection socket, and the connection plug 131 is in plug-and-socket fit with the connection socket.

Therefore, after the power module 2 or the sterilization module 1 is damaged, only the damaged sterilization module 1 or the power module 2 needs to be replaced, and the whole sterilization device 100 does not need to be scrapped, so that the use cost of a user is reduced.

In some exemplary embodiments, the sterilization module 1 includes: a mounting bracket 11 and a sterilization assembly 12, as shown in fig. 1.

Wherein the mounting frame 11 is provided with an air flow channel 116 (shown in fig. 1) and a mounting structure. The air flow passage 116 is provided to be capable of communicating with the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200.

Sterilization assembly 12 is disposed within airflow passage 116 and is coupled to mounting frame 11. Sterilization assembly 12 includes an emitter electrode 121 and at least two sets of receiver electrodes 122. The emitter 121 includes a conductive body 1211 and two discharge portions 1212 as shown in fig. 13 and 15. The conductive body 1211 has a plate-like structure, and two discharge portions 1212 are disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the conductive body 1211 in the width direction. The discharge portion 1212 includes a plurality of discharge tips disposed along a length direction of the conductive body 1211. A set of receiving poles 122 are provided on both sides of the conductive body 1211 in the width direction. The two sets of receiving electrodes 122 are arranged at a distance from the two discharge portions 1212 of the emitter 121 so that the two discharge portions 1212 of the emitter 121 can discharge to generate a sterilizing material.

In this embodiment, the mounting frame 11 mainly plays a mounting role. On the one hand, the mounting frame 11 provides a mounting carrier for the sterilization assembly 12, and ensures the stability and reliability of the sterilization assembly 12. The mounting frame 11 may be provided with a mounting structure to be connected with a corresponding structure of the air conditioner 200 (or other air treatment device) to ensure stability and reliability of mounting the sterilizing device 100 on the air conditioner 200 (or other air treatment device).

Sterilization assembly 12 primarily functions as a sterilizer. The sterilization assembly 12 can generate discharge under the action of a high-voltage power supply, and ionize air through a strong electric field to generate sterilization substances, wherein the sterilization substances can comprise strong oxidizing substances, and the strong oxidizing substances can oxidize and decompose bacteria in the air, so that the sterilization effect is achieved. And sterilization assembly 12 includes an emitter electrode 121 and at least two sets of receiver electrodes 122. The emitter 121 is a high voltage electrode and is connected to a high voltage end of a high voltage power supply. The receiving electrode 122 is a low voltage electrode or a ground electrode, and is connected to a low voltage terminal or a ground terminal of a high voltage power supply. The emitter 121 includes a conductive body 1211 and two discharge portions 1212 provided at both ends of the conductive body 1211 in the width direction, respectively, each discharge portion 1212 being provided opposite to the receiving electrode 122. Thus, one emitter electrode 121 can correspond to two groups of receiving electrodes 122, so that two strong electric fields are formed, more sterilizing substances can be generated, one emitter electrode 121 is omitted, the structure of the sterilizing device 100 is simplified, and the production cost is reduced.

Each of the discharge parts 1212 includes a plurality of discharge tips, which can strengthen the discharge intensity, thereby strengthening the ionization degree of the air, which is advantageous for generating more sterilizing substances. The shape of the discharge tip may be, but is not limited to: triangle, trapezoid, saw tooth, etc. The plurality of discharge tips of each discharge portion 1212 may be disposed at intervals (e.g., equally spaced), or may be close together without intervals. The two discharge portions 1212 may be symmetrically disposed at both ends of the conductive body 1211, or may be suitably offset in the longitudinal direction of the conductive body 1211.

The conductive body 1211 has a plate-like structure (or a sheet-like structure), which may have a long strip shape (e.g., a rectangular shape), and two discharge portions 1212 are disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the conductive body 1211 in the width direction and face the receiving electrodes 122 disposed at both sides of the conductive body 1211 in the width direction. Accordingly, the discharge tip of the discharge portion 1212 is also tapered in the width direction of the conductive body 1211. Thus, a conductive sheet can be directly processed and molded to obtain the integrally molded emitter 121, and compared with the scheme of inserting or welding a needle-shaped structure on the plate surface of a plate-shaped structure to form a discharge tip, the scheme has lower processing difficulty and is convenient for processing and molding. The width of the conductive body 1211 may be greater than the protruding length of the discharge tip (i.e., the dimension of the discharge tip in the width direction of the conductive body 1211). In this way, a certain distance is provided between the two discharging parts 1212 of one emitter 121, so that the emitter 121 is not easily broken down and damaged due to mutual influence during discharging, thereby being beneficial to ensuring the use reliability of the emitter 121.

The mounting frame 11 is provided with an air flow channel 116, and the sterilizing module 12 is disposed in the air flow channel 116, so that sterilizing substances generated by the sterilizing module 12 can enter the air flow channel 116 of the mounting frame 11. The air flow channel 116 of the mounting frame 11 can be communicated with the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200, so that sterilizing substances in the air flow channel 116 can enter the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200, and the sterilizing substances can kill attached bacteria in the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200.

Thus, in the state that the air outlet of the air conditioner 200 is closed, the sterilizing material (such as a strong oxidizing material) generated by the sterilizing unit 12 can be diffused to each corner of the inner cavity of the air conditioner 200, so as to realize sterilization in the cavity. In the state that the air conditioner 200 opens the air outlet, the sterilizing material generated by the sterilizing unit 12 can also diffuse into the indoor space along with the air outlet of the air conditioner 200, so as to perform a sterilizing function on the indoor space.

The high voltage power supply may be a pulsed power supply.

In yet another embodiment, a set of receiving poles 122 includes two bar-shaped receiving poles 122, and as shown in fig. 17, two receiving poles 122 of each set are disposed on two sides of the thickness direction of the conductive body 1211, and then the emitter 121 cooperates with the receiving poles 122 to form a tip-bar discharge structure.
