Air conditioner and control method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof. The air conditioner comprises a filter framework, a filter, a movement cleaning component, a moving device, a vacuum dust collector and a vacuum enhancing member, wherein the filter is arranged on the filter framework; the movement cleaning component moves along the filter, and is provided with an exotic mater flowing-in part and an exotic matter exhaust part for exhausting the collected exotic matter; the moving device is used for moving the movement cleaning component; the vacuum dust collector of a suction part is connected with the exotic mater exhaust part when the movement cleaning component moves; and the vacuum enhancing member is used for enhancing the vacuum state inside the movement cleaning component when the exotic mater exhaust part is connected with the suction part. Therefore, the possibility of residual exotic matter in the movement cleaning component is minimized and the clean of the movement cleaning component can be maintained.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner and a control method thereof in which a moving cleaning assembly that moves along the filter to clean the filter is connected to a vacuum cleaner at a fixed position. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, an air conditioner is a device that uses a compressor, a condenser, an expansion device, and an evaporator to perform indoor cooling / heating operations. If a purification component is installed in the air conditioner, it can also play a role in purifying the room. [0003] Air conditioners can be provided with various types of purification components. In particular, a filter for filtering foreign substances in the air is detachably provided, so that when the air conditioner is driven, the above-mentioned filter is used to filter foreign substances in the air, thereby purifying the room, and then the filter is removed for cleaning o...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in the air conditioner introduced in Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0114640, when the middle part of the suction hose is roughly bent into a U-shape, since the space occupied by the suction hose is relatively large, the overall structure It is not compact enough, and since the front part of the filter is blocked by the suction hose, there is also a problem that the efficiency of the air conditioning function during the operation of the air conditioner such as cooling operation is reduced.
