Abstract
A cleaning mechanism for a wire electrode of an air purifier device includes a base, a post having a first end attached to the base and a second end accessible from a location external the housing, a cleaning plate assembly attached to the base, wherein the cleaning plate assembly frictionally contacts the wire electrode when moved relative to the wire electrode. The cleaning plate assembly is movable within the housing when the second end of the post is moved from a resting configuration to a cleaning configuration.
Claims14
A cleaning mechanism for a wire electrode of an air purifier device, the air purifier device having a housing, the cleaning mechanism comprising:
- a base;
- a post having a first end attached to the base and a second end accessible from a location external the housing, the second end of the post being movable from a resting configuration to a cleaning configuration;
- a cleaning plate assembly attached to the base, the cleaning plate assembly having a first plate and a second plate, each of the first and second plates defining at least one channel therein, wherein the cleaning plate assembly frictionally contacts the wire electrode when moved relative to the wire electrode, and wherein the cleaning plate assembly is movable within the housing when the second end of the post is moved from the resting configuration to the cleaning configuration.
An air conditioner comprising:
- a housing;
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- a high voltage generator that provides a potential difference between the first and second electrodes;
- a cleaning mechanism comprising:
- a base;
- a post having a first end attached to the base and a second end accessible from a location external the housing, the second end of the post being movable from a resting configuration to a cleaning configuration;
- a cleaning plate assembly attached to the base, wherein the cleaning plate assembly frictionally contacts the first electrode when moved relative to the first electrode, and wherein the cleaning plate assembly is movable within the housing when the second end of the post is moved from the resting configuration to the cleaning configuration.
An air conditioner comprising:
- a housing having an inner surface;
- a guide rib extending from the inner surface of the housing;
- a first electrode;
- a second electrode;
- a high voltage generator that provides a potential difference between the first and second electrodes;
- a cleaning mechanism comprising:
- a base;
- a post having a first end attached to the base and a second end accessible from a location external the housing, the second end of the post being movable from a resting configuration to a cleaning configuration;
- a cleaning plate assembly attached to the base, wherein the cleaning plate assembly frictionally contacts the first electrode when moved relative to the first electrode, and wherein the cleaning plate assembly is movable within the housing when the second end of the post is moved from the resting configuration to the cleaning configuration;
- and
- a guide member attached to the base and configured to slidingly engage the guide rib.
