Ceiling air conditioner steam cleaning method {Air conditioner steam sterilizer}

The present invention relates to an air conditioner cleaning method for cleaning filters and radiators disposed inside a ceiling air conditioner, and more particularly, without using chemicals in a state where only the filter grille of the ceiling air conditioner is opened, only air and steam are used. Therefore, it relates to a ceiling air conditioner steam cleaning method that completely cleans and sterilizes the contaminants accumulated in the air conditioner's internal components and radiators.

Recently, for the purpose of space utilization and aesthetics, ceiling type air conditioners are in the spotlight rather than wall-mounted or stand type air conditioners. However, due to the installation type, ceiling air conditioners are difficult to manage compared to wall-mounted or stand type air conditioners, so there are many cases where only the grill filter is washed.

For example, the process of managing a ceiling air conditioner is performed sequentially in the following steps. First, the steps of checking the operating condition of the air conditioner and turning off the power, disassembling the filter grill coupled to the bottom of the air conditioner, disassembling the front panel from the air conditioner, separating the drain plate, separating the blowing fan, It consists of separating the radiator, washing the separated radiator with washing water, drying the cleaned radiator, and sequentially assembling the radiator and the disassembled parts.

As above, the air conditioner management was poor because it was not possible to completely remove contaminants even during long working hours as the heat sink was washed with high pressure water along with the cumbersome work of separating the external frame from the internal structure. If the air conditioner is used without management, foreign matter and dust accumulate in the coil or radiator, and from this, the heat efficiency of the air conditioner itself decreases and polluted air accompanied by odor is discharged, which adversely affects the health of users.

For example, as an example of a ceiling-type air conditioner cleaning method based on the above technology, Patent Publication No. 10-0852949 "Ceiling-type air conditioner cleaning system" is published, and the above conventional technology is spaced apart at a certain interval at the bottom of the ceiling air conditioner. It is composed of a washing rack that is installed in the state to receive foreign substances and discharges generated during washing, and a washing device that cleans the filter and the inner space of the air conditioner by spraying high-pressure washing water mixed with detergent and disinfectant by entering the interior space of the air conditioner. It is a technology that can induce efficient cleaning with a small amount of washing water while conveniently adjusting the location of the cleaning stand.

As another example of the above cleaning device, Patent Publication No. 10-1360787, "Ceiling type air conditioner automatic cleaning device" is published, and the above prior art is coupled to the rotating plate with the fixing part attached to the place where the blower is removed. Washing is carried out automatically while supplying washing water and wind from the nozzle, so that washing and drying work can be carried out conveniently.The ceiling air conditioner is convenient by providing high-pressure washing water to the air conditioner from the washing rack installed under the air conditioner, washing water storage tank, and waste water storage tank. It is a technology that can be cleaned easily.

However, in the prior art, as washing water in which a large amount of a detergent and a disinfectant is mixed is used, the safety in use decreases and the drying time after washing increases, and thus workability is poor. In particular, the above prior art has the inconvenience of disassembling most of the air conditioner parts such as filter grill, front panel, wiring maintenance, drain plate, and blower fan for internal cleaning of the air conditioner.

For the above reasons, the interior of the air conditioner and the radiator can be cleaned quickly and effectively without disassembling the parts of the air conditioner, and the cleaning and sterilization of the inside of the air conditioner and the radiator can be performed without the use of cleaning agents or disinfectants that are harmful to the human body. The construction method is urgent.

However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, but may be implemented in a variety of different forms. However, this embodiment allows the disclosure of the present invention to be complete, and common knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains. It is provided to completely inform the scope of the invention to those who have, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. In addition, the same reference numerals refer to the same elements throughout the entire specification.

The present invention relates to an air conditioner cleaning method for washing a filter and a radiator disposed inside a ceiling air conditioner.

Above all, the present invention is a ceiling air conditioner steam cleaning method that completely cleans and sterilizes the contaminants accumulated in the internal components of the air conditioner and the radiator using only air and steam without using chemicals while only the filter grill of the air conditioner is opened. Note that it is about.

1 is a flow chart listing the steam cleaning method of a ceiling air conditioner configured according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention step by step.

As shown in Figure 1, the steam cleaning method of the ceiling air conditioner of the present invention is largely a cleaning preparation step (S10), an individual cleaning step (S20), an air cleaning step (S30), an all-in-one cleaning step (S40), and , It is made sequentially in the post-cleaning processing step (S50).

Prior to describing the present invention, the washing water referred to in the present invention means pure water that does not contain any chemicals such as detergents and disinfectants.

The above cleaning preparation step (S10) is a step of disassembling the grill from the front panel 10 of the air conditioner and removing the filter located inside the grill.

The above ceiling type air conditioner consists of an intake part that inhales air at the bottom and a transmission part that cools the inhaled air and then sends it out. Here, the intake unit is composed of a grill having a plurality of through-holes to protect the interior of the air conditioner from the outside while freely inhaling air, and a filter that is seated on the inner surface of the grill and blocks dust and foreign substances contained in the inhaled air.

As above, by removing the grill and filter from the front panel of the air conditioner, the air conditioner cleaning device can enter the interior space of the air conditioner.

The above individual cleaning step (S20) is a step of high-pressure washing and sterilization by spraying steam within the range of 145 to 160°C on the grill and filter removed in the cleaning preparation step (S10).

In the above individual cleaning step (S20), while the grill is laid on the floor, the nozzle to which the steam is sprayed is moved from the center to the outer side, and the dust or foreign matter accumulated in the through hole is washed out so that it is pushed out, and then remains using a washing pad. Wipe off dirt and foreign matter to remove contaminated water.

In addition, the filter above is erected at an angle of about 40 to 60° using a holder, and then washed by spraying steam while moving the nozzle along the folded direction of the strainer. The above filter is washed by repeating the front and back washing several times. do.

The grill and filter cleaned in the above manner are naturally dried in an environment that maintains a temperature of 15~30℃.

The above air cleaning step (S30) is a step of removing dust and foreign substances by blowing inside and outside the front panel 10 using an air compressor. In particular, the above air cleaning step (S30) uses a brush 50 to remove the radiator 30 ), a scrap cleaning step (S31) of intensively removing the bent portion of the radiator and the upper and lower gaps of the radiator, and a blow cleaning step (S32) of removing overall dust from the radiator by spraying high-pressure air.

In the scrap cleaning step (S31), in order to remove dust and foreign substances attached between the radiators 30, a work of scraping the bent portions and corners of the radiators with the bent brush 50 is performed. For example, the radiator 30 has a corner section at each corner of the air conditioner because it is installed via an area in which the transmission unit is located inside the air conditioner formed of a square. On the other hand, in the corner section of the heat sink above, the filtering means is more closely arranged than the straight section, so if steam cleaning is performed immediately without any separate prerequisites, dust and foreign matter attached to the straight section and the corner section will be spread across the corner section. It is blocked and cannot be discharged to the outside and is collected.

In addition, in the radiator 30 above, as covers for closing the upper and lower sides are interposed, a fine gap is formed between the filtering means and the cover, so that dust and foreign matter adhere to the gap. When cleaning with steam, dust and foreign matter attached to such a fine gap cannot be discharged to the outside as in the corner section, and is pushed by the steam pressure and collected in a section of the gap.

As such, if a certain amount of dust and foreign matter is collected in one area, the steam can be sprayed at an appropriate or higher water pressure to remove it.If the steam is sprayed above the proper water pressure to remove the collected dust and foreign matter, the form of filtering means May be modified.

For this reason, in the present invention, dust and foreign matter attached to the radiator are entirely removed using the brush 50, and in particular, the corner section and the upper and lower gap areas of the radiator 30 are intensively scraped.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the brush 50 of the present invention has various bent shapes, so that dust and foreign matter from the radiator 30 can be conveniently removed by entering the brush from the outside without disassembling the air conditioner. It was configured to be able to.

In the above blow cleaning step (S32), the air compressor and the air nozzle connected to the air compressor enter the inside of the air conditioner to inject high-pressure air, thereby discharging dust and foreign substances remaining in the air conditioner's interior space including the radiator 30 to the outside. Step.

As described above, in the blow cleaning step (S32), the air nozzle connected to the air compressor enters between the front panel 10 and the blowing fan 20 of the air conditioner and injects high-pressure air along the radiator circularly arranged based on the blowing fan. Accordingly, the dust attached to the radiator is blown out and removed as a whole, and the dust removed by the air is discharged to the front panel, the blower fan, and the transmission unit. And the above blow cleaning step (S32) is repeatedly attempted at least two times or more.

The above all-in-one cleaning step (S40) is a step of steam cleaning the inside and outside of the air conditioner and the radiator by entering the steam nozzle into the air conditioner.

In the above all-in-one cleaning step (S40), as in the blow cleaning step (S32), the steam nozzle connected to the steam cleaner enters between the front panel 10 and the blower 20, and moves along the arrangement of the radiator 30 while moving along the arrangement of the radiator 30 High-temperature and high-pressure steam is injected inside and outside the appliance. Here, the temperature of the steam is preferably made in the range of 145 ~ 160 ℃.

On the other hand, the all-in-one cleaning step (S40) of the present invention is a method of heating the washing water in the steam cleaner itself and spraying it to the inside and outside of the radiator 30 and the air conditioner through the nozzle, and the steam nozzle continuously generates heat from electricity and generates heat. It can be configured in a way to generate steam by spraying a small amount of washing water through the air.

On the other hand, in the steam injection method, the nozzle heating method serves to forcibly dry moisture remaining in the radiator and air conditioner interior space by the heated steam nozzle depending on whether or not washing water is provided.

As above, various bacteria and fungi living inside and outside the radiator 30 and air conditioner are actively sterilized by steam within the range of 145 to 160°C.

The above post-cleaning treatment step (S50) is a step of sequentially assembling the filter and the grill after naturally drying the inside where the steam is sprayed.

In general, to completely dry the remaining moisture after cleaning the inside and outside of an air conditioner, install an air compressor and an air nozzle to blow out the water first by blowing in air, and naturally dry the remaining moisture even after blowing with air. It consists of a process of making it happen However, in the general working method as described above, there was a hassle of re-installing the air compressor after removing the steam cleaner, and there was a problem that the time required for re-installation and unnecessary time devoted to natural drying were increased.

However, in the present invention, as the steam of 145 to 160°C is sprayed, part of the washing water is evaporated at the same time as washing, thereby actively shortening the drying time.

In addition, in the post-cleaning step (S50) of the present invention, unlike the existing washing process, only the green and filter of the air conditioner need to be assembled, so that the finishing operation can be quickly performed.

A cleaning preparation step (S10) of removing the filter located inside the grill after disassembling the grill from the front panel as above; and an individual cleaning step of high-pressure washing and sterilization by spraying steam within the range of 145 to 160°C on the grill and filter ( S20); And, the air cleaning step (S30) of removing dust or foreign matter by blowing it out using an air compressor inside and outside the front panel; And, performing steam sterilization inside and outside the front panel, but the steam nozzle in the space between the blower fan and the radiator After inserting the all-in-one cleaning step (S40) of spraying steam within the range of 145 to 160°C while moving along the radiator arrangement; And, a post-cleaning step of sequentially assembling the filter and grill after naturally drying the inside where the steam is sprayed ( S50); According to the steam cleaning method for ceiling air conditioners, it is possible to effectively clean and sterilize the inside of the air conditioner and the filter and radiator without disassembling parts such as the front panel, wiring maintenance, drain plate, and ventilation fan from the air conditioner. It is fast, and accordingly, the operation cost is reduced, and the inside of the air conditioner and the radiator can be environmentally cleaned by spraying steam within the range of 145 to 160°C without using any chemicals such as cleaning agents and disinfectants that are harmful to the human body. In addition, by using a brush that is bent in a specific shape, the foreign matter collected on the bending part of the radiator is firstly scraped off, the high-pressure air is injected from the air compressor to remove the dust secondly, and the high-pressure steam is finally sprayed. The radiator can be cleaned even more by washing the car.

On the other hand, the present invention further includes a cover installation step (S11) covering the front of the front panel in the above cleaning preparation step (S10) in order to create a smooth and comfortable environment when washing the ceiling air conditioner.

Here, the cover generally refers to a'washing stand', and by installing the washing stand 40 at the bottom of the air conditioner, dust and foreign matter generated in the air cleaning step (S30) or contaminated water generated in the all-in-one cleaning step (S40) It serves to block the indiscriminate discharge to the outside of the device and induces the collected dust and contaminated washing water to be easily discharged by removing the cover from the front panel 10 upon completion of the work.

In particular, the washing stand of the present invention is provided in a state divided left and right with respect to the center of the ceiling air conditioner as shown in FIG. 3, and is fixedly coupled by a slide fitting method through a gap between the ceiling air conditioner and the ceiling, and the left washing stand 41 ) And the right side of the washing stand 42 are in contact with each other, one side of the washing stand and the other side of the washing stand to engage with each other by stacking and bonding so that the washing water is not lost to the outside is configured to maintain a solid bond.
