Further, a cumulative stop time detecting mechanism for detecting the cumulative stop time of the air conditioner may be provided instead of the aforementioned cumulative operation time detecting means, and the accumulation of the air conditioner detected by the cumulative stop time detecting means When the stop time exceeds the predetermined time, the automatic cleaning of the air filter 10 is performed. In this case, only one part of the air filter is automatically cleaned. Advantageous Effects of Invention According to the present invention, since the cumulative operation time detecting means for detecting the cumulative operation time of the air conditioner is provided, when the cumulative operation time of the air conditioner exceeds the predetermined time, the air filter is automatically cleaned, so ^ Regular maintenance is required and convenience can be improved. Moreover, the predetermined time when the air conditioner is started to be cleaned after the air filter is cleaned is set to be 20 longer than in other cases of the air conditioner, and unnecessary cleaning of the air filter can be minimized, and the air filter can be reduced. With the noise generated by cleaning or unnecessary power consumption. - Further, a dust amount detecting means for detecting the amount of dust in the air is further provided, and when the amount of dust is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, automatic cleaning of the air filter is performed, and the amount of dust attached to the air filter can be accurately detected. , 7 1351497 " The automatic cleaning of the air filter can be performed at an appropriate time and can prevent: unnecessary cleaning. Further, a cumulative stop time detecting mechanism for detecting the cumulative stop time of the air conditioner is provided instead of the cumulative operation time detecting means, that is, the automatic air filter is performed when the cumulative stop time has exceeded the predetermined time. Cleaning does not require regular maintenance to improve convenience. In addition, when the operation is stopped, dust is concentrated on the upper surface of the air filter. Therefore, when the automatic cleaning of the air filter is performed according to the cumulative stop time, only the upper surface of the air filter can be cleaned, and in a short time. Cleaning at an efficiency of 10 reduces unnecessary power consumption.

As shown in Figs. 2A and 2B, the nozzle body 201 is formed with a long groove-like opening corresponding to the entire length of the air filter. The portion 202 is provided with a suction hole 204 along the opening portion 202 5 in the drivable belt 28, whereby only one portion of the opening portion 202 can be attracted, and the suction belt can be changed by the driving belt 203. Further, the belt 203 must be made. The sliding body 201 is slid along the suction nozzle body 201, so that it is covered by the belt guiding portion 205 formed by the body of the suction nozzle body 201 by fusion or the like. With such a configuration, even a small air volume can be concentrated on a small suction. The hole '10 thus increases the wind speed of the suction hole, and even a small suction device can exert a strong attraction. As shown in Fig. 3, the overall cleaning of the air filter is driven by the suction nozzle 301. The belt 302 is used to change the position of the upper and lower directions of the suction nozzle 303 'and the suction nozzle 301 is driven to the left and right along the air filter 304' so that the suction hole 303 performs the sweeping action as shown by the arrow direction in FIG. Further, Fig. 4 shows a configuration of a refrigeration cycle and a control circuit of the air conditioner of the present invention. In Fig. 4, the air conditioner is composed of an outdoor unit 402 and an indoor unit 403. The indoor unit 403 Provided: a compressor 404, a four-way valve 405, an expansion valve 406, an outdoor heat exchanger 4〇7, an outdoor fan 408, a discharge temperature sensor 409, an outdoor line sensor 41, and an outdoor temperature sensor. The 411 ° indoor unit 403 is provided with an indoor heat exchanger 412, an indoor fan 413, an air filter cleaning mechanism 414, an indoor line temperature detector 417, a suction temperature sensor 418, and a fishery sensor 419 for detecting air. The dust sensor 422 of the dust amount in the middle, and the suction portion, the blowing portion, the upper and lower blades, and the left and right blades, not shown, the outdoor unit 402 is connected to the indoor unit 403 to form a refrigeration cycle, and the switch four is switched. Cooling operation to the valve Run with any of the heating. The indoor heat exchanger 412 is divided into a front side heat exchanger 412a and a rear side heat exchanger 412b. The front side heat exchanger 412a and the rear side heat exchanger 412b are connected via a concentrating mechanism composed of a dry bidirectional valve 415 and a capillary tube 416. When the dry two-way valve 415 is fully open, the air-cooling operation or the heating operation is performed, the dry two-way valve 415 is in a closed state, and the expansion valve 406 is fully open or substantially fully open, so that the front side heat exchanger 412a is a condenser, and the rear side The heat exchanger 412b is an evaporator, so that a so-called dehumidification operation can be performed. Further, the outdoor unit 402 and the indoor unit 403 are each provided with an outdoor control unit 420 electrically connected to the indoor control unit 42 and the two control units 42A and 421, and controls various operations of the air conditioner 401. The operation and action of the air conditioner having the above configuration will be described below. Fig. 5 is a flow chart showing the automatic cleaning control of the air filter of the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 5, first, step 5〇1 determines whether or not the accumulated time of the stop time of the air conditioner measured by the time measuring device provided in the indoor control unit 421 has elapsed for a predetermined time. If the determination is YES, it is judged. There is dust accumulation on the upper surface of the air filter, and only the upper surface of the air filter is automatically cleaned in step 5G2. On the other hand, when the determination in step 501 is NO, the process proceeds to step 503. In addition, the accumulation time of the stop time of the air conditioner described above is set to 'hypothetical suction device Η) 6 operation - air adjustment of the amount of dust that can be attracted at a time 1351497 The total time during the stop of the machine is set to, for example, 360 hours. In step 503, it is determined whether it is the first operation after the previous cleaning. If YES, the process proceeds to step 504. On the other hand, if NO, the process proceeds to step 505. In step 504, it is determined whether the accumulated time of the operation time of the air 5 adjusting machine measured by the time measuring device exceeds a predetermined time. If the determination is YES, then the automatic cleaning of the air filter is performed in step 506, and the other is performed. On the other hand, if NO, the process returns to step 504. Further, the amount of dust that can be sucked by the suction device 106 once is assumed to be the amount that adheres to the air filter after the air conditioner is operated for about 24 hours, but the dust adheres to the air filter when the air conditioner starts operating after the previous cleaning. The amount of attachment of the device is small, so the cumulative time of the operation time of the aforementioned air conditioner can be set to be twice as many as 48 hours for 24 hours. Further, in step 505, it is determined whether or not the accumulated time of the operation time of the air conditioner measured by the time measuring device exceeds a predetermined time. If the determination is 15 YES, the process proceeds to step 506, and if NO, the process returns to the step. 505. Further, when the operation other than the initial operation after the cleaning is considered, a certain amount of dust adheres to the air filter. Therefore, the cumulative time of the operation time of the air conditioner at this time is set to operate the virtual suction device 106. 20 The total time during the operation of the air conditioner to which the amount of dust that can be attracted is attached is set to, for example, 24 hours. As described above, in the first embodiment, during the stop of the air conditioner, the dust easily adheres to the upper surface of the air filter which is substantially horizontally extended, so that only the portion can be cleaned, the cleaning time can be shortened, and the unnecessary time can be reduced. 8 12 consumes electricity. In addition, since the air is automatically cleaned according to the accumulated operation time of the air conditioner, the cleaning operation can be performed more easily and efficiently. After the air conditioner is cleaned, the air conditioner will judge the work. The cumulative running time of the cleaning of the device is set to be longer than the time of the other, so that unnecessary cleaning can be suppressed as much as possible, and the noise or the power generated by the cleaning can be reduced, and the convenience can be improved. Embodiment 2 Fig. 6 is a flow chart showing the automatic cleaning control of the air filter of the embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 6, in step 6.1, the dust detector 422 is used to detect the amount of dust floating in the second, and when the detected amount of dust is above a predetermined value, the lion 2 'other-side' is entered. When the predetermined value is not satisfied, then returning to step 602, when the amount of dust of the air towel is above a predetermined value, it is determined whether the cumulative time of the operation time of the emptying machine exceeds the predetermined time. If the determination is YES, then Step 6〇3 Implement the automatic sweep of the air filter. If NO, return to step 6〇1. In addition, the predetermined time of the so-called dust amount refers to a state in which the amount of dust in the living space required for the experiment is large, for example, the state of the melon 2/3 is more than one, and the cumulative operation of the aforementioned air conditioner The predetermined time of the time is also assumed to be 'in the state where the air conditioner is in the state where the lcm2/s is 10 or more, and the dust is attached to the air passing device, and the suction device 103 operates once to attract the dust. Total time, for example about 12 hours. As described above, in the second embodiment, by detecting the amount of dust in the two gases around the air conditioner, the adhesion of the dust to the air filter 1351497 can be more accurately detected, and the air filter can be performed at an appropriate timing. The automatic cleaning of the device prevents unnecessary cleaning and improves convenience.
