FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a technical field of home appliance, and specifically, to a dust collection assembly, an air purification device, and an air conditioner.

BACKGROUND

With industrial development, urban construction and an increase in vehicle use, dust increases and air pollution gets worse in outdoor environment, which causes the indoor air to get worse. On the other hand, decoration and smoking are also important reasons for the accumulation of harmful particulate matters in the indoor air. With the improvement of living standards, people's awareness about health increases gradually, higher requirements for an indoor air quality are put forward, so an air conditioner capable of removing PM2.5 is increasingly favored by consumers.

At present, a traditional air purification device mainly adopts a dense HEPA (High efficiency particulate air) filter net, and particles in the air are blocked to be absorbed by the net when flowing through the dense net. The shortcomings of this dense net are that it needs to be changed frequently as the meshes are easy to plug, and the electric motor of the purification product dedicated to support the use of the HEPA filter net has a large load because of the large loss of resistance, resulting in an increasing electricity consumption, and a loud noise.

A dust collection assembly 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 39.

As shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 4, the dust collection assembly 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a first annular ring 110, a second annular ring 120, an insulation spacing assembly 130 and an air guide 220.

As shown in FIG. 2, during the use of the dust collection assembly 100, it can be connected with a power source (for example a high voltage power source 500), a high potential terminal of the high voltage power source 500 is electrically connected with one of the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120, a low potential terminal of the high voltage power source 500 is electrically connected with the other one. For example, in an example of the present disclosure, the high potential terminal is electrically connected with the first annular ring 110 by means of the first electrically connecting piece 113 and the low potential terminal is electrically connected with the second annular ring 120 by means of the second electrically connecting piece 123. When the first annular ring 110, the second annular ring 120 and the high voltage power source 500 are switched on, a high voltage direct current field is formed between any two adjacent faces of the spaced first annular ring 110 and second annular ring 120.

It should be illustrated that, a gas molecule in the air is ionized in the high voltage direct current field, a large amount of electrons and ions are produced and move toward two poles under the function of the electric filed force. The electrons and ions come up against the dust particles and bacteria in the airflow and make them charged in the movement. The charged particles move to a polar plate in a direction opposite to a component of direction of the airflow under the function of the electric field. Under the function of the electric filed, free ions in the air move towards the two poles. The higher the voltage, the higher the electric field intensity, and the faster the movement speed of the ions. As the movement of the ions, current forms between the poles. At first, the free ions in the air are few, and the current is small. When the voltage rises to a certain value, the ions nearby the discharge pole gains higher energy and speed, and when these ions strike neutral atoms in the air, the neutral atoms are divided into positive and negative ions, which is called air ionization. When the air is ionized, a chain reaction occurs, which makes the number of the ions moving between the poles increases, achieving a sharply increasing current between the poles (which is called corona current). Thus, the air becomes a conductor, the accompanied bacteria particles are captured by the high and intense voltage, a cell wall made of protein is broken down by the instantaneously conductive phenomenon, as which the purposes of killing bacteria and absorbing and removing dust are realized.

Specifically, the first annular ring 110 has a first outer ring 111 and a plurality of first blades 112 disposed on an inner surface of the first outer ring 111 along a circumferential direction of the first annular ring 110. In an example of the present disclosure, the first blade 112 is formed to be a sheet and extends along a radial direction of the first outer ring 111. The second annular ring 120 has a second outer ring 121 and a plurality of second blades 122 disposed on an inner surface of the second outer ring 121 along a circumferential direction of the second annular ring 120. As shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 4, the second annular ring 120 is disposed below the first annular ring 110, and the plurality of second blades 122 and the plurality of first blades 112 are arranged to be staggered in the circumferential direction. Thus, a plurality of high voltage direct current fields can be formed between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120, improving the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100.

In addition, an air flow channel is formed between the first blade 112 and the adjacent second blade 122, and the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 arranged to be staggered in the circumferential direction has a function to rectify the airflow passing through the dust collection assembly 100, which enhances the uniformity of the airflow, and further reduces the inlet pressure and flow resistance of the airflow, so the noise produced by flowing air is decreased.

The first annular ring 110 has a first electrically connecting piece 113 configured to be connected with one of a positive pole and a negative pole of a power source, the second annular ring 120 has a second electrically connecting piece 123 configured to be connected with the other one of the positive pole and the negative pole of the power source. Thus, with the first electrically connecting piece 113 and the second electrically connecting piece 123, it is guaranteed that the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 are in reliable connection with the high voltage power source 500. When the dust collection assembly 100 is connected with the high voltage power source 500, the dust and particulate matters in the airflow flowing through the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 will be captured by the high voltage direct current field, and absorbed to the surface of the first annular ring 110 or the surface of the second annular ring 120, thus the purpose of de-dusting is realized.

The insulation spacing assembly 130 is disposed between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 and spaces the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 apart. In other words, the insulation spacing assembly 130 is supported between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 so as to make any point of the first annular ring 110 not in direct contact with the second annular ring 120. Thus, it is guaranteed that a high voltage electric field can be formed between a face of the first annular ring 110 and an adjacent face of the second annular ring 120 during the use of the dust collection assembly 100, so that the dust collection assembly 100 can collect dust and sterilize air. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the insulation spacing assembly 130 is detachably connected with the first annular ring 110 as well as the second annular ring 120, as which it is convenient for the users to swept and clean the dust collection assembly 100 when the dust collection assembly 100 needs cleaning.

Accordingly, with the plurality of second blades 122 and the plurality of first blade 112 arranged to be staggered in the circumferential direction, the plurality of high voltage direct current fields can be formed between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 to improve the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100. In addition, the plurality of first blades 112 and the plurality of second blades 122 have a function to rectify the airflow passing through the dust collection assembly 100, which enhances the uniformity of the airflow, further reduces the inlet pressure and flow resistance of the airflow, so the noise produced by flowing air is decreased.

The air guide 220 is configured to have an annular shape and be fitted over the first annular ring 110 and/or the second annular ring 120, in which an external diameter of an upper end of the air guide 220 is larger than an external diameter of a lower end of the air guide 220. Thus, the airflow can be guided to places where the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 are located, as which the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. In addition, the air guide 220 is connected with the first annular ring 110 and/or the second annular ring 120 by means of a snap, as which the assembly process of the dust collection assembly 100 is simplified and the assembly efficiency is improved.

With the dust collection assembly 100 according to embodiments of the present disclosure, by disposing the air guide 220 out of the first annular ring 110 and/or the second annular ring 120, the airflow can be guided to the places where the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 are located, as which the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. Meanwhile, the air guide 220 is made snap-fitted with the first annular ring 110 and/or the second annular ring 120, the assembly process is simplified and the assembly efficiency is improved.

Meanwhile, by making the plurality of second blades 122 staggered from the plurality of first blades 112 in the circumferential direction, not only the plurality of high voltage direct current fields are formed between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120, the effective area of the high voltage direct current fields is also enlarged, as which the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. In addition, the plurality of first blades 112 and the plurality of second blades 122 have a function to rectify the airflow passing through the dust collection assembly 100, which enhances the uniformity of the airflow, further reduces the inlet pressure and flow resistance of the airflow, so the noise produced by flowing air is decreased.

In an example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 3-FIG. 4, the air guide 220 is connected with the second outer ring 121. Thus, it is convenient for the connection between the air guide 220 and the second annular ring 120. In examples shown in FIG. 30-FIG. 34, the air guide 220 is provided with an air guide hook 223, an outer ring connecting terminal 128 extends out of the second outer ring 121, and the outer ring connecting terminal 128 has a step face 1281 fitted with the air guide hook 223. With the air guide hook 223 abutting against the step face 1281, the displacement of the outer ring connecting terminal 128 along the up-down direction (an up-down direction shown in FIG. 34) is limited.

As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 34, the outer ring connecting terminal 128 has an opening portion 1282 penetrating through the outer ring connecting terminal 128 along an up-down direction (an up-down direction shown in FIG. 11), an inner wall of the opening portion 1282 is provided with a bent plate 1283 which extends downward firstly and then is bent upward, and the step face 1281 is disposed to an outside surface of the bent plate 1283. It should be understood that, in the radial direction of the second outer ring 121, the bent plate 1283 is resilient, and the air guide hook 223 includes a plate body 2231 extending upwards along the axial direction of the air guide 220 and a hook protrusion 2232 above the plate body 2231 and protruding towards the bent plate 1283. During the assembling, the outer ring connecting terminal 128 is mounted from up to down, a lower portion of the step face 1281 abuts against the hook protrusion 2232 of the air guide hook 223 firstly, and the bent plate 1283 deforms inwards along the radial direction of the second outer ring 121. When the step face 1281 abuts against the lower end face of the hook protrusion 2232, the bent plate 1283 recovers outwards along the radial direction of the second outer ring 121. At this time, the hook protrusion 2232 is snap-fitted with the bent plate 1283. Thus, the assembly process of the air guide 220 and the second annular ring 120 is simplified and the connection reliability of the air guide 220 and the second annular ring 120 is improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the air guide 220 is further provided with a first extending plate 224 extending upward and the first extending plate 224 is fitted within the opening portion 1282 and spaced apart from the bent plate 1283 so as to limit a movement of the outer ring connecting terminal 128 along a circumferential direction of the air guide 220. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 32, the air guide 220 is further provided with a second extending plate 225 extending upward and the second extending plate 225 and the first extending plate 224 define an accommodating groove 226 accommodating an outer end of the outer ring connecting terminal 128 together. Thus, the connection reliability between the outer ring connecting terminal 128 and the air guide 220 can be improved further.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 4, the air guide 220 may include: a first wind guiding ring 221 and a second wind guiding ring 222. Specifically, the first wind guiding ring 221 extends upward, archwise and gradually from inside to outside along a radial direction. For example, in an example as shown in FIG. 4, the internal diameter of the first wind guiding ring 221 increases gradually from down to up (an up-down direction shown in FIG. 4). The second wind guiding ring 222 is connected at an upper end of the first wind guiding ring 221, in which an upper surface of the second wind guiding ring 222 is in the same plane. At least a portion of the second annular ring 120 is located within the first wind guiding ring 221, and the second annular ring 120 is snap-fitted with the second wind guiding ring 222. Thus, more airflow is guided into the dust collection assembly 100, and the operation efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is further improved.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a shortest distance between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 is larger than or equal to 2 mm. In other words, any point on the first annular ring 110 is away from the second annular ring 120 by larger than or equal to 2 mm. Thus, during use of the dust collection assembly 100, air can be prevented from being broken down, discharge and short circuit can be prevented effectively, so that the operation stability of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved and the security coefficient and dust removal effect are guaranteed. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a distance between the first blade 112 and the adjacent second blade 122 is 2-40 mm. Thus, during the use of the dust collection assembly 100, air can be prevented from being broken down, and discharge and short circuit can be prevented, so that the operation stability of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved more and the security coefficient and dust removal effect are guaranteed. Meanwhile, hurts can be prevented if someone stretches his finger into a gap between the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 by mistake.

In an example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 6, a thickness of the first blade 112 along the circumferential direction of the first annular ring 110 is larger than 0.5 mm, i.e. d1>0.5 mm. As shown in FIG. 8, a width of the first blade 112 along an axial direction of the first annular ring 110 is larger than 5 mm, i.e. h1>5 mm. As shown in FIG. 12, a thickness of the second blade 122 along the circumferential direction of the second annular ring 120 is larger than 0.5 mm, i.e. d2>0.5 mm. As shown in FIG. 14, a width of the second blade 122 along an axial direction of the second annular ring 120 is larger than 5 mm, i.e. h2>5 mm. Thus, the purification effect of the dust collection assembly 100 is guaranteed, the purification efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved, and the structure of the dust collection assembly 100 is simplified, which makes the structure of the dust collection assembly 100 more compact and reasonable.

Considering that the first annular ring 110 is located above the second annular ring 120, in order to guarantee that the first outer ring 111 is spaced apart from the second annular ring 120, in an example shown in FIG. 5, the first outer ring 111 is connected to an upper end (an up-down direction shown in FIG. 5) of the first blade 112, thus making the dust collection assembly 100 have a more compact and reasonable structure.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 8 and FIG. 10, the first outer ring 111 is connected to an upper end of the plurality of first blades 112 at a radially outer side of the plurality of first blade s112, and an upper surface of the first blade 112 at the radially outer side is higher than an upper surface of the first blade 112 at a radially inner side. In other words, in the axial direction of the first annular ring 110, the width of the first blade 112 at the radially outer side is larger than the width of the first blade 112 at the radially inner side. Thus, the compactness of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the lower surfaces of the plurality of first blades 112 are flush with each other and located in a same plane.

In examples shown in FIG. 5-FIG. 10, the first annular ring 110 may further include a first inner ring 114. The first inner ring 114 is connected to the radially inner side of the plurality of first blades 112. Thus, the structure of the first annular ring 110 is more stable. Further, as shown in FIG. 5-FIG. 6, the first annular ring 110 further includes a first reinforcing ring 115. The first reinforcing ring 115 is connected to an inner surface of the first inner ring 114 by means of a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 116 arranged along a circumferential direction. Thus, a structural strength of the first annular ring 110 can be enhanced further.

Similarly, in examples shown in FIG. 11-FIG. 15, a lower surface of the second blade 122 at a radially outer side is higher than a lower surface of the second blade 122 at a radially inner side. In other words, in the axial direction of the second annular ring 120, the width of the second blade 122 at the radially outer side is less than the width of the second blade 122 at the radially inner side. The second outer ring 121 is connected to the radially outer side of the plurality of second blades 122. When the second annular ring 120 is fitted with the first annular ring 110, the corresponding area of the first blade 112 and the adjacent second blade 122 increases further, as which the area of the high voltage direct current field formed between the first blade 112 and adjacent second blade 122 increases, thus the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. Meanwhile, the compactness of the dust collection assembly 100 can be improved further. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, the upper surfaces of the plurality of second blades 122 are flush with each other and located in a same plane.

In examples shown in FIG. 11-FIG. 15, the second annular ring 120 may further include a second inner ring 124. The second inner ring 124 is connected to a lower end of the plurality of second blades 122 at the radially inner side. Thus, the structure of the second annular ring 120 is more stable. Further, as shown in FIG. 11-FIG. 15, the second annular ring 120 may further include a second reinforcing ring 125. The second reinforcing ring 125 is connected to an inner surface of the second inner ring 124 by means of a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 126 arranged along a circumferential direction. Thus, a structural strength of the second annular ring 120 can be enhanced further.

As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 17-FIG. 27, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the insulation spacing assembly 130 includes at least one first insulation snap 131. The first insulation snap 131 is mounted to the first outer ring 111 and the second outer ring 121 so as to connect the first outer ring 111 and the second outer ring 121 in a spaced manner. Thus, any point on the first annular ring 110 can be kept away from the second annular ring 120 by a certain distance so as to prevent air between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 from being broken down and prevent discharge in the operation state of the dust collection assembly 100, as a result the stability and security of the dust collection assembly 100 are guaranteed. In addition, by making the first insulation snap 131 connect the first outer ring 111 and the second outer ring 121 in a spaced manner, the assembly process of the dust collection assembly 100 is simplified, the assembly efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced.

In examples shown in FIG. 11-FIG. 13, a circumferential wall of the second outer ring 121 is provided with a location column 1211 to facilitate connection between the first insulation snap 131 and the second outer ring 121. In addition, as shown in FIG. 22-FIG. 26, the first insulation snap 131 includes a first body 1311, at least two first snap joint feet 1312 and a first hook 1313. The first body 1311 has a height larger than or equal to 2 mm in the up-down direction, thus, it is guaranteed that the distance between the first outer ring 111 and the second outer ring 121 is larger than or equal to 2 mm so that the air can be prevent from being broken down and the air discharges are prevented between the first outer ring 111 and the second outer ring 121.

In examples shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 17-FIG. 27, the at least two first snap-joint feet 1312 extend downward from a lower end of the first body 1311 and are fitted over the location column 1211 so as to connect the first body 1311 with the second outer ring 121. As shown in FIG. 26, each first snap-joint feet 1312 abuts against the lower end face of the location column 1211 so as to limit the location column 1211 between the at least two first snap joint feet 1312. For the convenience of the connection between the first insulation snap 131 and the first outer ring 111, the first hook 1313 extends upward form an upper end of the first body 1311 and is snap-fitted with an edge of the first outer ring 111 so as to connect the first body 1311 and the first outer ring 111.

As shown in FIG. 23, FIG. 25 and FIG. 27, the first body 1311 is provided with a through hole 1315 penetrating through the first body 1311 along an up-down direction. In other words, the first body 1311 may have a tubular shape. Thus, on the premise that the structural strength of the first insulation snap 131 is ensured, the structure of the first insulation snap 131 is further simplified, the weight of the first insulation snap 131 is also reduced, and the production cost is decreased.

As shown in FIG. 23, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, an upper end face of the first body 1311 includes: a first segment 1316, a second segment 1317 and a connecting segment 1318. The first segment 1316 is located at a side away from the first hook 1313 and the first segment 1316 is in a horizontal plane. The second segment 1317 is disposed at a side adjacent to the first hook 1313 and the second segment 1317 is located in another horizontal plane lower than the horizontal plane where the first segment 1316 is. The connecting segment 1318 is connected between the first segment 1316 and the second segment 1317. In other words, a distance between the connecting segment 1318 and the first hook 1313 increases gradually from down to up. Thus, when the first hook 1313 is connected with other components, the connecting segment 1318 may play a role in guiding to facilitate connection between the first insulation snap 131 and other components, and as a result the assembly efficiency of the first insulation snap 131 is improved.

As shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 24, the first insulation snap 131 may be made of material having an insulation characteristic, as which two components connected by the first insulation snap 131 are non-conducting between each other, thus the use demand for different components is satisfied. In order to improve the structure strength of the first insulation snap 131, a stiffening rib 1314 is connected between the first body 1311 and the first snap joint foot 1312. In an example shown in FIG. 24, a plurality of stiffening ribs 1314 may be provided and the stiffening ribs 1314 are distributed on the outer circumferential wall of the first body 1311 at intervals. In an example of the present disclosure, the stiffening rib 1314 is configured to be a triangular stiffening rib, a first side edge of the triangular stiffening rib is connected with the first body 1311, a second side edge of the triangular stiffening rib is connected with the first snap-joint foot 1312.

In order to improve the strength of connection between the first insulation snap 131 and the second annular ring 120, in an example shown in FIG. 21, the location column 1211 is disposed at an intersection of the second outer ring 121 and one of the second blades 122.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 22, an outside surface of the first body 1311 away from a center of the first outer ring 111 is configured to be an arcuate face, three first snap joint feet 1312 are provided, and one of the three first snap joint feet 1312 is snapped-fitted with an outside of the second outer ring 121 and an outer surface of the one first snap joint foot is flush with the arcuate face. Thus, a structural strength of the first insulation snap 131 can be enhanced further, which makes the structure of the first insulation snap 131 more reasonable.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, the first annular ring 110 further includes a first connecting terminal 117, and the first connecting terminal 117 is disposed to a radially outer side of the first outer ring 111. As shown in FIG. 11-FIG. 12, the second annular ring 120 further includes second connecting terminal 127, the second connecting terminal 127 is disposed to a radially outer side of the second outer ring 121 and corresponding with the first connecting terminal 117 in the up-down direction. For the convenience of connection between the first annular ring 110 and the high voltage power source 500 and connection between the second annular ring 120 and the high voltage power source 500, the first electrically connecting piece 113 is disposed on the first connecting terminal 117, and the second electrically connecting piece 123 is disposed on the second connecting terminal 127. Further, in order to prevent the first connecting terminal 117 from contacting the second connecting terminal 127, as shown in FIG. 28-FIG. 29, the insulation spacing assembly 130 further includes a second insulation snap 132 disposed between the first connecting terminal 117 and the second connecting terminal 127.

In examples shown in FIG. 5-FIG. 6, FIG. 11-FIG. 12 and FIG. 28-FIG. 29, for the convenience of connection between the second insulation snap 132 and the first connecting terminal 117 and connection between the second insulation snap 132 and the second connecting terminal 127, the first connecting terminal 117 is provided with a first snap joint hole 1171, an resilient snap 1172 extends downward from a lower surface of the first connecting terminal 11, and the second connecting terminal 127 is provided with a second snap joint hole 1271. The second insulation snap 132 includes a second body 1321, a second hook 1323 and a projection 1324. The second body 1321 has a height larger than or equal to 2 mm, so that the distance between the first connecting terminal 117 and the second connecting terminal 127 is larger than or equal to 2 mm so that air is prevented from being broken down and discharges are prevented between the first connecting terminal 117 and the second connecting terminal 127.

As shown in FIG. 28, the second body 1321 is hollow inside, has an opening in a top thereof as well as an opened bottom. The resilient snap 1172 goes through the opening, stretches into and is snap-fitted within the second body 1312. The projection 1324 extends upwards from the top of the second body 1321 and goes through the first snap joint hole 1171. Thus, it is guaranteed that the second insulation snap 132 and the first connecting terminal 117 are in reliable connection. As shown in FIG. 28, in an example of the present disclosure, a cross-section of the projection 1324 in the up-down direction is a rectangular, and the cross-section area of the projection 1324 in the up-down direction increases from up to down. Thus, it is convenient for the projection 1324 to be fitted with other components.

As shown in FIG. 28 and FIG. 29, second snap joint feet 1322 extend outwards from two opposite sides of an outer surface of the second body 1321, and the second snap joint feet 1322 abut against an upper surface of the second connecting terminal 127. A second hook 1323a extends downward from a side wall of the second body 1321 between two second snap joint feet 1322 so as to go through the second snap joint hole 1271 and be snap-fitted to a bottom surface of the second connecting terminal 127, the second hook 1323 abuts against a lower surface of the second connecting terminal 127. As the second snap joint feet 1322 and the second hook 1323 are snapped into the second snap joint hole 1271, the movement of the second insulation snap 132 along the circumferential direction of the second snap joint hole 1271 is limited. With the second snap-joint feet 1322 abutting against the upper surface of the second connecting terminal 127 and the second hook 1323 abutting against the lower surface of the second connecting terminal 127, the movement of the second insulation snap 132 along the axial direction of the second snap-joint hole 1271 is limited. Thus, it is guaranteed that the second insulation snap 132 and the second connecting terminal 127 are in reliable connection.

As shown in FIG. 28, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cross-section of the second body 1321 in the up-down direction is square. Thus, a structural strength of the second insulation snap 132 can be enhanced further, which makes the structure of the second insulation snap 132 more compact and reasonable.

In an example shown in FIG. 28, a guiding arcuate face 1326 is formed between a side wall of an opening 1325 and an upper end face of the second body 1321. Thus, the guiding arcuate face 1326 plays a role in guiding to facilitate fitting and connection between other components and the second insulation snap 132. The shape of the opening 1325 is not particularly limited, for example, in an example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 28, the opening 1325 is configured to be a square hole.

Further, as shown in FIG. 28, each second snap joint foot 1322 is disposed at a place adjacent to a lower end of the side wall of the second body 1321, and the side wall of the second body 1321 below each second snap joint foot 1322 is configured to be a guiding portion 1327. The cross-section area of the guiding portion 1327 decreases gradually in the up-down direction from up to down. Thus, the guiding portion 1327 can be used to guide the second snap joint feet 1322 to be fitted with the other components, so that the efficiency of assembling the second insulation snap 132 and the other components can be improved further.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 28, a guiding slope 1328 is formed between the lower end face of the second hook 1323 and the side wall of the second hook 1323. Thus, it is convenient for the second hook 1323 to be fitted with other components, and the efficiency of assembling the second insulation snap 132 is improved further.

In order to make it convenient for the first annular ring 110 to be assembled to the second annular ring 120, in examples shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 4, an external diameter of the first outer ring 111 is smaller than or equal to an external diameter of the second outer ring 121.

In addition, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least one of the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 is configured to be a high-internal-resistance annular ring, and a surface resistivity of the high-internal-resistance annular ring is 10⁶˜10¹², that is the surface resistivity of the high-internal-resistance annular ring is 10⁶-10¹² Ω·m. For example, when the first annular ring 110 is a high-internal-resistance annular ring, the second annular ring 120 may be made of low-internal-resistance material such as aluminum or copper. In order to improve the safety performance of the dust collection assembly 100, the second annular ring 120 is connected with the low potential terminal. Person's health will not be influenced even touching the dust collection assembly 100 as the second annular ring made of the low-internal-resistance material is connected with the low potential terminal and current flows through the human body is limited in a safe range. When the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 are both made of conductive high-internal-resistance material, the high-internal-resistance material can limit the current in the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120 within the safe range, and the human safety will not be in a risk when a person touches the dust collection assembly 100, thus the safety performance of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. As a result, it is convenient for the high voltage direct current field at least above 2000V to be formed between the first blade 112 and the adjacent second blade 122, and further, the dust removal efficiency and dust effect of the dust collection assembly 100 can be guaranteed.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first annular ring 110 has the first outer ring 111 and the plurality of first blades 112 disposed in the inner surface of the first outer ring 111 along a circumferential direction of the first annular ring 110. The first blade 112 includes a first blade body 1121 and a raised portion 1122 of the first blade 112 protruding from one side edge of the first blade body 1121, a side face of the raised portion 1122 of the first blade is flush with a side face of the first blade body 1121. In other words, the first blade body 1121 and the raised portion 1122 of the first blade extend in the same plane. The raised portion 1122 of the first blade is connected with the first outer ring 111.

The second annular ring 120 has the second outer ring 121 and the plurality of second blades 122 disposed in an inner surface of the second outer ring 121 along a circumferential direction of the second annular ring 120. The second blade 122 includes a second blade body 1221 and a raised portion 1222 of the second blade protruding from one side edge of the second blade body 1221, a side face of the raised portion 1222 of the second blade is flush with a side face of the second blade body 1221. In other words, the second blade body 1221 and the raised portion 1222 of the second blade extend in the same plane. The raised portion 1222 of the second blade is connected with the second outer ring 121. As shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 4, the second annular ring 120 is disposed below the first annular ring 110 and the plurality of second blades 122 and the plurality of first blades 112 are arranged to be staggered in the circumferential direction. Thus, a plurality of high voltage direct current fields can be formed between the first annular ring 110 and the second annular ring 120, and as a result the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved. By alternating the plurality of second blades 122 and the plurality of first blades 112 in the circumferential direction, the effective area of the high voltage direct current fields is enlarged, as which the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved.

In an example of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 6, a thickness of the first blade body 1121 along the circumferential direction of the first annular ring 110 is larger than 0.5 mm, i.e. d1>0.5 mm. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, d1=1.5 mm. As shown in FIG. 8, a width of the first blade body 1121 along the axial direction of the first annular ring 110 is larger than 5 mm. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the first blade body 1121 along the axial direction of the first annular ring 110 is 36 mm. As shown in FIG. 12, the thickness of the second blade body 1221 along the circumferential direction of the second annular ring 120 is larger than 0.5 mm, i.e. d2>0.5 mm. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, d2=1.5 mm. As shown in FIG. 14, the width of the second blade body 1221 along the axial direction of the second annular ring 120 is larger than 5 mm. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the width of the second blade body 1221 along the axial direction of the second annular ring 120 is 36 mm. Thus, the structure of the dust collection assembly 100 is simplified, which makes the structure of the dust collection assembly 100 more compact and reasonable. Meanwhile, hurts can be prevented if someone stretches his finger in to a gap between the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 by mistake.

Considering that the first annular ring 110 is located above the second annular ring 120, in order to guarantee that the first outer ring 111 is spaced apart from the second annular ring 120, in an example shown in FIG. 5, the first outer ring 111 is connected to the upper end (an up-down direction shown in FIG. 5) of the first blade 112, thus, the structure of the dust collection assembly 100 is more compact and reasonable.

In an example shown in FIG. 38, the thickness of the first blade 112 increases gradually from the radially inner side to the radially outer side and the thickness of the second blade 121 increases gradually from the radially inner side to the radially outer side, in the circumferential direction of the first annular ring 110. Thus, the corresponding area of the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 can be increased further, an effective high voltage direct current field forms between the first blade 112 and the adjacent second blade 122, so that the dust removal effect of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved and the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is increased.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 14, the raised portion 1122 of the first blade is disposed at a place adjacent to an intersection point of two adjacent side edges of the first blade body 1121; the raised portion 1222 of the second blade is disposed at a place adjacent to an intersection point of two adjacent side edges of the second blade body 1221. Thus, the corresponding area of the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 can be increased further, an effective high voltage direct current field forms between the first blade 112 and the adjacent second blade 122, so that the dust removal effect of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved and the dust removal efficiency of the dust collection assembly 100 is increased.

In an example shown in FIG. 4, both the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 may be configured to be a flat plate, and both the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 may be polygonal, oval or circular. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, both the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 are rectangular. Thus, the structure of the dust collection assembly 100 is more compact and reasonable. Further, two adjacent side edges of the first blade in the rectangular plate shape are transited smoothly so as to avoid a point discharge, thus the safety performance of the dust collection assembly 100 is improved.

It should be understood that, the shapes of the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 are not limited to this, for example, in an example shown in FIG. 36, both the first blade 112 and the second blade 122 are configured to be a bent plate and the shape of the cross-section of the first blade 112 corresponds to the shape of the cross-section of the second blade 122 in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the first annular ring 110.

In addition, the plurality of first blades 112 and the plurality of second blades 122 have a function to rectify the airflow passing through the dust collection assembly 100, which enhances the uniformity of the airflow, further reduces the inlet pressure and flow resistance of the airflow, so the noise produced by flowing air is decreased.

In order to improve the purification efficiency of the air conditioner, the air conditioner may further include a negative ion emission and ionization device (not shown in the drawings). The negative ion emission and ionization device is located in the air channel in the flow direction of the air in the air channel so as to pre-charge negative electricity to the airflow and thus making a large amount of the dust and particulate matters in the airflow electronegative. The electronegative dust and particulate matters are captured by the high voltage direct current field rapidly when flowing through the air conditioner along with the airflow, thus the dust removal effect is promoted further.
