Problems solved by technology

The filter screen of the indoor unit of the household air conditioner is a device for the air conditioner to filter the indoor air. When the filter screen is dirty and blocked, the air volume of the indoor unit of the air conditioner will decrease, which will affect the cooling, heating and air supply effects of the air conditioner.
Most of the existing air conditioners do not have a corresponding reminder device when the filter is dirty and clogged. Instead, it is written in the product manual that the user needs to clean the filter regularly. However, because the indoor unit of the air conditioner is hung on the wall, the user cannot accurately Know the dirty and clogged situation of the filter screen, so it is impossible to clean the filter screen in a timely manner
[0003] A small number of existing air conditioners have self-cleaning functions, but they are not suitable for widespread use due to their complex structures, high costs, and inability to clean them thoroughly.
At present, there are air conditioners that can realize the function of reminding the user when the filter is dirty, but usually it can only reflect the extremely small local dirty situation such as one point or a few points, and cannot detect the dirty and clogged situation of the entire filter. Accurate reflection; there is also a regular reminder method, but due to the different use environments of users, the dirty clogging speed of the filter screen is not the same, so it cannot accurately reflect the dirty clogging situation of the filter screen

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for automatic reminding of the cleanness of an air conditioner, which is realized through the following steps: firstly, detecting the running current when an indoor blower of the air conditioner runs; and secondly, comparing the running current with a preset reminding current, if the running current is smaller than or equal to the preset reminding current, a filter screen of the air conditioner can be judged to be dirty or blocked, and an user is reminded. The invention further provides a relevant device for automatic reminding of the cleanness of the air conditioner. The method and the device provided by the utility model for automatic reminding of the cleanness of the air conditioner can exactly reflect the dirty and blocked conditions of the filter screen of the air conditioner and remind the user to clean the filter screen timely, so that the air conditioner can keep sanitary and clean, the indoor air quality can be ensured and the cost is lowered.
