Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioner chassis structure and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Mobile air conditioners are a type of mobile air conditioner that breaks through traditional design concepts. They are lightweight, highly energy-efficient, and require no installation. They can be placed anywhere in different houses. Under normal circumstances, the condensed water generated inside the mobile air conditioner is consumed by itself. However, when the air humidity is too high, the speed at which the condensed water is consumed cannot keep up with the speed at which the condensed water is generated. At this time, the excess condensed water needs to be discharged from the chassis to ensure the normal operation of the mobile air conditioner. The chassis structure of existing mobile air conditioners is complex, and condensed water is easily retained in the water storage area. Therefore, it is difficult to completely discharge the condensed water, which can easily cause damage to the mobile air conditioner.

[0003] This shows that the structure of the existing mobile air conditioner needs further improvement. Summary of the invention

[0004] The problem solved by the invention is that condensed water of the existing mobile air conditioner is easily retained in the chassis.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner chassis structure, including a main water collection area and a first water storage area. In the left-right direction, the first water storage area is located on the left side of the main water collection area, the main water collection area and the first water storage area are connected, and the first water storage area is higher than the main water collection area.

[0006] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention, by setting the first water storage area higher than the main water collection area, can not only use the gravity caused by the height difference to drive the water flow when the water volume is small, so that the chassis can achieve rapid and efficient water collection, but also can achieve joint water storage in the main water collection area and the first water storage area when the water volume is large.

[0007] Optionally, the main water collection area includes a converging portion, and the converging portion is a concave structure with a low middle and high surroundings.

[0008] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention is conducive to realizing the water collection function of the main water collection area by designing the converging part to be a concave structure.

[0009] Optionally, the converging portion includes four converging surfaces, and the four converging surfaces intersect at the converging point.

[0010] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention can converge the condensed water in the main water collection area to the convergence point by setting the convergence point.

[0011] Optionally, the angle γ between the converging surface and the horizontal plane is in the range of 2 to 4 degrees.

[0012] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention effectively ensures the effective collection and discharge process of condensed water by setting the included angle γ between the convergence surface and the horizontal plane to be in the range of 2 to 4 degrees.

[0013] Optionally, the air conditioner chassis structure further includes a water trough, and the convergence point is located at a notch of the water trough.

[0014] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention sets a convergence point at the notch of the water tank, so that condensed water can smoothly flow into the water tank and be discharged from the air conditioner.

[0015] Optionally, the air conditioner chassis structure further includes a water level switch area, and a communication port is provided at the connection between the water level switch area and the main water collection area.

[0016] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention provides a communication port at the connection between the water level switch area and the main water collection area, so that the water level switch area can monitor the water level of the main water collection area, thereby preventing condensed water in the chassis from overflowing.

[0017] Optionally, the main water collection area further includes wind shielding ribs, and the wind shielding ribs are arranged opposite to the connecting port.

[0018] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention reduces air leakage at the connecting port without affecting the flow of water by arranging the wind shielding ribs and the connecting port relatively.

[0019] Optionally, there are three wind shielding ribs, and the three wind shielding ribs are distributed in a herringbone structure.

[0020] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention reduces the probability of air leakage by arranging three wind shielding ribs in a herringbone structure without affecting the flow direction of water.

[0021] Optionally, the first water storage area is provided with a water gap and a wind shield structure, and the wind shield structure is suitable for preventing air from the evaporator direction from entering the first water storage area through the water gap in an assembled state.

[0022] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention includes a wind shield structure which, on the one hand, strengthens the structural strength of the first water storage area and can provide support for the evaporator in the assembled state; on the other hand, it can also prevent the air in the evaporator from entering the first water storage area through the water gap, thereby preventing air leakage and improving the working efficiency of the evaporator.

[0023] Optionally, the wind shielding structure includes a first wind shielding rib plate and a second wind shielding rib plate, and projections of the first wind shielding rib plate and the second wind shielding rib plate on the plane where the water passing notch is located cover the water passing notch.

[0024] According to the air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention, when the air in the evaporator is blown into the water storage area through the water passing gap, all the air can be blown onto the wind shield structure, and most of it can flow back into the main water collection area under the obstruction of the first wind shield rib plate and the second wind shield rib plate, thereby reducing air leakage of the evaporator.

[0025] Optionally, the wind shield structure also includes a third wind shield rib, the first wind shield rib and the second wind shield rib are both connected to the third wind shield rib and are respectively located on both sides of the third wind shield rib; one end of the third wind shield rib extends to the water passing gap and divides the water passing gap into two parts.

[0026] In the air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention, the third wind shield rib divides the water passing notch into two, so that the airflow flowing from the water passing notch into the first water storage area is split at the water passing notch, thereby reducing the flow rate of the airflow. According to Bernoulli's principle, when the flow rate of the airflow decreases, the pressure will increase, and the resistance of the airflow when flowing to the first water storage area will be greater, thereby further reducing air leakage of the evaporator. At the same time, the herringbone structure of the wind shield structure can ensure that the first water storage area is not prone to shrinkage during injection molding of the chassis, thereby improving the manufacturing quality of the chassis.

[0027] Optionally, the first wind shielding rib plate, the second wind shielding rib plate and the third wind shielding rib plate are distributed in a herringbone pattern.

[0028] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention can ensure, through the above arrangement, that the first water storage area is not prone to shrinkage during the injection molding of the chassis, thereby improving the manufacturing quality of the chassis.

[0029] Optionally, the first water storage area has a first side wall in its length direction, and the first side wall is a V-shaped structure. The opening of the V-shaped structure faces the side of the first water storage area away from the evaporator, and the water gap is arranged at the top of the V-shaped structure, which is suitable for guiding condensed water to flow along the first side wall to the water gap.

[0030] According to the air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention, condensed water dripping into the first water storage area can flow along the first side wall to the water gap, so that the first side wall has a diversion effect, preventing condensed water from being retained in the first water storage area, thereby improving the drainage effect of the chassis.

[0031] Optionally, the first wind shielding rib plate and the second wind shielding rib plate are arranged at an angle, and the free ends of the first wind shielding rib plate and the second wind shielding rib plate are close to the first side wall, suitable for guiding condensed water to flow toward the first side wall.

[0032] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention can prevent condensed water from being blocked by the first wind shield rib and the second wind shield rib on the side away from the water passing notch through the above-mentioned arrangement, so that the condensed water dripping into the first water storage area flows along the first wind shield rib and the second wind shield rib to the first side wall, and then flows along the first side wall to the water passing notch, thereby achieving a better diversion effect and improving the drainage effect of the first water storage area.

[0033] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising any one of the above-mentioned air conditioner chassis structures. The air conditioner has the same beneficial effects as the above-mentioned air conditioner chassis structure, which will not be described in detail here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an air conditioner chassis structure, including a main water collection area 100 and a first water storage area 200. In the left-right direction, the first water storage area 200 is located on the left side of the main water collection area 100. The main water collection area 100 and the first water storage area 200 are connected, and the first water storage area 200 is higher than the main water collection area 100.

[0049] Specifically, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, “higher than” is defined as: the lowest point of the first water storage area 200 is higher than the highest point of the convergence portion 110 in the main water collection area 100, so that the condensed water of the air conditioner mainly enters the main water collection area 100, and the first water storage area 200 receives a small amount of condensed water.

[0050] Among them, the main water collection area 100 is the main area for chassis water collection. The main water collection area 100 is located below the heat exchanger of the air conditioner. The condensed water of the air conditioner mainly enters the main water collection area 100 from the heat exchanger. The first water storage area 200 receives a small amount of condensed water. When the water level of the main water collection area 100 is not higher than that of the first water storage area 200, the water of the first water storage area 200 flows to the main water collection area 100, and the water of the main water collection area 100 enters the water pumping trough 700. Driven by the water pumping motor, the water in the water pumping trough 700 is pumped to the heat exchanger. At the same time, the water pumping motor shaft will bring the water into the water pumping motor area 600, and finally flow to the drainage area 400; when the water level of the main water collection area 100 is higher than that of the first water storage area 200, the first water storage area 200 plays a certain water storage function. At the same time, the second water storage area 300 also plays a water storage role.

[0051] The chassis structure and air conditioner described in the present invention, by setting the first water storage area higher than the main water collection area 100, can not only use the gravity caused by the height difference to drive the water flow when the water volume is small, so that the chassis can achieve rapid and efficient water collection, but also can achieve common water storage in the main water collection area and the first water storage area 200 when the water volume is large.

[0052] Optionally, combined Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the main water collection area 100 includes a converging portion 110, and the converging portion 110 is a concave structure with a low middle and high surroundings.

[0053] Specifically, combined Figure 4 As shown, the converging portion 110 is generally concave in shape, similar to a funnel-shaped structure, wherein: Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the area near the convergence point 112 is shown, where the convergence point 112 is the lowest point in the area and also the lowest point in the convergence portion 110, A1, A2, A3 and A4 are equal height points and also the highest points in the area, B1, B2, B3 and B4 are equal height points and also the second highest points in the area; water flows through points A and B through the convergence surface 111 and gathers at the convergence point 112, realizing the water collection function of the main water collection area 100, and then realizing the effective discharge of condensed water.

[0054] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention is beneficial to realizing the water collection function of the main water collection area 100 by designing the converging part to be a concave structure.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the converging portion 110 includes four converging surfaces 111 , and the four converging surfaces 111 intersect at the converging point 112 .

[0056] Specifically, the converging portion 110 includes four converging surfaces 111, which are: a converging surface 111 composed of A1, B1, B4 and a converging point 112, a converging surface 111 composed of A2, B1, B2 and a converging point 112, a converging surface 111 composed of A3, B2, B3 and a converging point 112, and a converging surface 111 composed of A4, B3, B4 and a converging point 112. The four converging surfaces 111 form a concave structure with a low middle and high surroundings. It should be noted that in this description, the converging portion 110 is described as being composed of four converging surfaces 111, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. The converging portion 110 can be composed of a plurality of converging surfaces 111 not limited to four.

[0057] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention can converge the condensed water in the main water collection area to the convergence point by setting the convergence point.

[0058] Optionally, the angle γ between the converging surface 111 and the horizontal plane is in the range of 2 to 4 degrees.

[0059] Specifically, combined Figure 4 As shown, taking one of the converging surfaces 111 as an example, the converging surface 111 composed of A1, B1, B4 and the converging point 112 is formed by rotating the horizontal plane upward by an angle and then rotating it to the right by an angle. During the rightward rotation process, the line connecting B4 and the converging point 112 remains fixed, and only the part of the converging surface 111 other than the line connecting B4 and the converging point 112 is rotated, so as to ensure that multiple converging surfaces 111 intersect at the converging point 112. The formation method of the remaining converging surfaces 111 is similar, and the formed converging portion 110 is a concave structure with a low middle and high surroundings; for example, the above rotation angles are all 2 degrees, and the angle γ between the formed converging surface 111 and the horizontal plane is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The γ shown is represented by the angle between two extension lines. The upper extension line is extended from the line connecting the convergence point 112 and A1, and the lower extension line is extended from the line connecting the convergence point 112 and the vertical projection point of A1 on the horizontal plane. The range of the angle γ between the convergence surface 111 and the horizontal plane is limited to 2 to 4 degrees, ensuring that the water flow can be gathered at the convergence point 112 and its vicinity by gravity. At the same time, when it is necessary to discharge excess condensed water, there is no need to tilt the air conditioner at too large an angle, thereby reducing the manpower burden.

[0060] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention effectively ensures the effective collection and discharge process of condensed water by setting the included angle γ between the convergence surface and the horizontal plane to be in the range of 2 to 4 degrees.

[0061] Optionally, the air conditioner chassis structure further includes a water trough 700 , and the convergence point 112 is located at a notch 710 of the water trough 700 .

[0062] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the convergence point 112 is located at the slot 710 of the water-pumping trough 700. An appropriate amount of condensed water flows from the convergence point 112 of the main water collection area 100 to the water-pumping trough 700 through the slot 710. The water-pumping trough 700 is connected to the water-pumping motor area 600. The condensed water is atomized by the water-pumping motor and pumped onto the heat exchanger to evaporate the condensed water, thereby discharging the condensed water in the air conditioner. Therefore, the convergence point 112 is set at the slot 710 so that the condensed water in the main water collection area 100 can flow smoothly into the water-pumping trough 700 and be discharged from the air conditioner.

[0063] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention sets a convergence point at the notch of the water tank, so that condensed water can smoothly flow into the water tank and be discharged from the air conditioner.

[0064] Optionally, the air conditioner chassis structure further includes a water level switch area 500 , and a connecting port 510 is provided at the connection between the water level switch area 500 and the main water collection area 100 .

[0065] Specifically, combined Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the chassis structure includes a water level switch area 500. The water level switch area 500 determines whether the condensed water has a tendency to overflow the chassis by detecting the water level. When the condensed water has a tendency to overflow the chassis because the amount of production is greater than the amount of consumption, that is, when the water level reaches the warning height, the water level switch turns off the compressor and increases the consumption rate of the condensed water. A connecting port 510 is set at the connection between the water level switch area 500 and the main water collection area 100, so that the water level switch area 500 can monitor the water level of the main water collection area 100. When there is too much condensed water in the main water collection area 100, the water level in the water level switch area 500 reaches the warning height, and the water level switch turns off the compressor and increases the consumption rate of the condensed water, thereby ensuring that the condensed water in the chassis will not overflow.

[0066] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention provides a connection port at the connection between the water level switch area and the main water collection area, so that the water level switch area can monitor the water level of the main water collection area, thereby preventing condensed water in the chassis from overflowing.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the main water collection area 100 further includes a wind shielding rib 120 , and the wind shielding rib 120 is arranged opposite to the connecting port 510 .

[0068] Specifically, the main water collection area 100 and the water level switch area 500 are connected via a connecting port 510. The connecting port 510 mainly serves to receive the water flow. However, it is not only condensed water that passes through the connecting port 510, but also air leakage. Therefore, a wind shield 120 is arranged opposite to the connecting port 510 to reduce air leakage at the connecting port 510 without affecting the flow of water.

[0069] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention reduces air leakage at the connecting port without affecting the flow of water by arranging the wind shielding ribs and the connecting port relatively.

[0070] Optionally, combined Figure 3 As shown, there are three wind shielding ribs 120, and the three wind shielding ribs 120 are distributed in a herringbone structure.

[0071] Specifically, the three wind shielding ribs 120 are as follows: Figure 3 The T-shaped structure shown blocks the flow direction of wind through the wind blocking ribs 120 formed by the T-shaped structure, thereby limiting air leakage and reducing the probability of air leakage without affecting the flow direction of water.

[0072] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention reduces the probability of air leakage by arranging three wind shielding ribs in a herringbone structure without affecting the flow direction of water.

[0073] Optionally, the first water storage area 200 is provided with a water gap 221 and a wind shielding structure 210 , and the wind shielding structure 210 is suitable for preventing air from the evaporator direction from entering the first water storage area 200 through the water gap 221 in the assembled state.

[0074] The chassis is provided with a main water collection area 100 and a first water storage area 200, which are connected at a water gap 221, and a wind shielding structure 210 is provided in the first water storage area 200 near the water gap 221. When the evaporator is assembled on the chassis, the main water collection area 100 is located below the evaporator, the first water storage area 200 is located on the left side of the evaporator, and the wind shielding structure 210 abuts against the bracket on the left side of the evaporator, so that the wind shielding structure 210 can provide support for the evaporator. When the air conditioner is working, the evaporator will produce a large amount of condensed water, most of which will drip along the evaporator into the main water collection area 100, and a small part will drip along the bracket on the left side of the evaporator into the first water storage area 200. This small part of condensed water is collected in the first water storage area 200, and flows into the main water collection area 100 from the water gap 221, and then gathers in the water pumping area on the chassis, and is hit by the water pumping motor installed in the water pumping area to be atomized and hit the hot heat exchanger, thereby evaporating the condensed water. In the prior art, the air blown into the evaporator circulates inside the evaporator to perform heat exchange, and the air circulating inside the evaporator will also flow in the main water collection area 100. However, since the main water collection area 100 is connected to the first water storage area 200 at the water gap 221, the air flowing in the main water collection area 100 will flow into the first water storage area 200 from the water gap 221. In the absence of a wind shielding structure 210, the air in the evaporator enters the first water storage area 200 from the water gap 221 without any hindrance, resulting in air leakage in the evaporator area, affecting the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator. In this embodiment, a wind shielding structure 210 is provided in the first water storage area 200, so that the air flowing from the main water collection area 100 to the water gap 221 cannot flow smoothly into the first water storage area 200 due to the hindrance of the wind shielding structure 210, and most of it will flow back into the main water collection area 100.

[0075] The chassis structure described in the present invention, the setting of the wind shield structure 210, on the one hand, strengthens the structural strength of the first water storage area 200, and can provide support for the evaporator in the assembled state; on the other hand, it can also prevent the air in the evaporator from entering the first water storage area 200 through the water gap 221, thereby playing a role in preventing air leakage and improving the working efficiency of the evaporator.

[0076] Optionally, combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wind shielding structure 210 includes a first wind shielding rib 211 and a second wind shielding rib 212 , and the projections of the first wind shielding rib 211 and the second wind shielding rib 212 on the plane where the water passing notch 221 is located cover the water passing notch 221 .

[0077] The windshield structure 210 includes two windshields, namely, a first windshield rib 211 and a second windshield rib 212, and the heights of the first windshield rib 211 and the second windshield rib 212 are higher than the height of the water-passing gap 221. The first windshield rib 211 and the second windshield rib 212 can be connected to each other at the end, that is, the rear end of the first windshield rib 211 is connected to the front end of the second windshield rib 212; they can also be staggered at the end, that is, when the first windshield rib 211 and the second windshield rib 212 are connected to each other, the rear end of the first windshield rib 211 and the front end of the second windshield rib 212 overlap, and when the first windshield rib 211 and the second windshield rib 212 are not connected, the rear end of the first windshield rib 211 and the front end of the second windshield rib 212 are staggered in the front-to-back direction. That is to say, the projection of the first wind shield rib 211 on the plane where the water gap 221 is located is the first projection, and the projection of the second wind shield rib 212 on the plane where the water gap 221 is located is the second projection. The first projection and the second projection may intersect or be connected at the edge of the projection. The projection of the first wind shield rib 211 and the second wind shield rib 212 on the plane where the water gap 221 is located is the sum of the areas of the first projection and the second projection, and the sum of the areas of the first projection and the second projection is greater than the area of ​​the water gap 221, and the water gap 221 can be completely covered. It should be noted that when the first projection and the second projection intersect, the area of ​​the first projection is added to the area of ​​the second projection, and then the area of ​​the intersection of the first projection and the second projection is subtracted. The final projection area is the sum of the areas of the first projection and the second projection.

[0078] With the air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention, when the air in the evaporator is blown into the first water storage area 200 through the water passing notch 221, all of the air can be blown onto the wind shield structure 210, and most of it can flow back into the main water collection area 100 under the obstruction of the first wind shield rib plate 211 and the second wind shield rib plate 212, thereby reducing air leakage of the evaporator.

[0079] Optionally, combined Figure 7 As shown, the wind shield structure 210 also includes a third wind shield rib 213, the first wind shield rib 211 and the second wind shield rib 212 are both connected to the third wind shield rib 213, and are respectively located on both sides of the third wind shield rib 213; one end of the third wind shield rib 213 extends to the water passing gap 221, and divides the water passing gap 221 into two parts.

[0080] The third wind shield rib 213 is arranged in the first water storage area 200 along the left-right direction, and the right end of the third wind shield rib 213 is located at the water-passing gap 221, dividing the water-passing gap 221 into two gaps, namely the first gap 2211 and the second gap 2212. The first wind shield rib 211 and the second wind shield rib 212 are respectively located at the front and rear sides of the third wind shield rib 213. The front end of the first wind shield rib 211 is a free end and does not form a connection relationship with other components, and the rear end of the first wind shield rib 211 is connected to the third wind shield rib 213; the front end of the second wind shield rib 212 is connected to the third wind shield rib 213, and the rear end of the second wind shield rib 212 is a free end and does not form a connection relationship with other components.

[0081] In the chassis structure described in the present invention, the third wind shield rib 213 divides the water gap 221 into two, so that the airflow flowing from the water gap 221 into the first water storage area 200 is split at the water gap 221, thereby reducing the flow rate of the airflow. According to Bernoulli's principle, when the flow rate of the airflow decreases, the pressure will increase, and the resistance of the airflow when it flows to the first water storage area 200 will be greater, thereby further reducing the air leakage of the evaporator.

[0082] Optionally, the first wind shielding ribs 211 , the second wind shielding ribs 212 and the third wind shielding ribs 213 are distributed in a herringbone pattern.

[0083] Specifically, that is to say, the windshield structure 210 is a fishbone structure, wherein the third windshield rib plate 213 constitutes a main structure of the fishbone, and the first windshield rib plate 211 and the second windshield rib plate 212 constitute the side branch structures on both sides of the main structure of the fishbone.

[0084] The herringbone structure of the windshield structure 210 can ensure that the first water storage area 200 is not prone to shrinkage during the injection molding of the chassis, thereby improving the manufacturing quality of the chassis.

[0085] Optionally, the areas of the first notch 2211 and the second notch 2212 are equal.

[0086] Specifically, that is to say, the end of the third wind shielding rib 213 is located in the middle of the water passing gap 221, dividing the water passing gap 221 into two equal parts.

[0087] In the chassis structure of the air conditioner described in the present invention, after the airflow flowing into the first water storage area 200 through the water passing notch 221 is split at the water passing notch 221, the pressures at the first notch 2211 and the second notch 2212 are the same, and the obstruction effects on the airflow are also equivalent, thereby avoiding the situation where one of the two notches obstructs the airflow much less than the other notch, causing most of the airflow blowing toward the water passing notch 221 to flow into the first water storage area 200 from the notch with less obstruction, thereby further reducing air leakage of the evaporator.

[0088] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, the first water storage area 200 has a first side wall 220 in its length direction. The first side wall 220 is a V-shaped structure. The opening of the V-shaped structure faces the side of the first water storage area 200 away from the evaporator. The water passing notch 221 is arranged at the top of the V-shaped structure, which is suitable for guiding the condensed water to flow along the first side wall 220 to the water passing notch 221.

[0089] The size of the first water storage area 200 in the front-to-back direction is greater than its size in other directions, so the length direction of the first water storage area 200 is the front-to-back direction, the first side wall 220 is arranged on the first water storage area 200 along the front-to-back direction, and the water-passing notch 221 is provided on the first side wall 220. The first side wall 220 is in a V-shaped structure, and the water-passing notch 221 is provided at the top of the V-shaped structure. Since the evaporator and the main water collection area 100 are located on the right side of the first water storage area 200, the opening of the V-shaped structure of the first side wall 220 faces leftward and the top faces rightward.

[0090] According to the air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention, condensed water dripping into the first water storage area 200 can flow along the first side wall 220 to the water gap 221, so that the first side wall 220 has a diversion effect, preventing the condensed water from being retained in the first water storage area 200, thereby improving the drainage effect of the chassis.

[0091] Optionally, combined Figure 5 As shown, the first water storage area 200 has a second side wall 230 in its length direction, and a reinforcement structure 231 is provided on the second side wall 230 .

[0092] Specifically, that is to say, the second side wall 230 is arranged on the first water storage area 200 along the front-to-back direction. The first water storage area 200 is a rectangular groove structure as a whole, and has side walls in the front, rear, left and right directions, and the first side wall 220 and the second side wall 230 respectively constitute the two side walls of the first water storage area 200 in the left and right directions, that is, the first side wall 220 and the second side wall 230 are also the left side wall and the right side wall of the first water storage area 200 respectively. The reinforcement structure 231 is arranged on the second side wall 230 of the first water storage area 200. In this embodiment, the first water storage area 200 is arranged at the left end of the chassis, and the left side wall of the first water storage area 200 is a part of the left side wall of the chassis, so the reinforcement structure 231 is also equivalent to being arranged on the left side wall of the chassis.

[0093] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention can enhance the structural strength of the second side wall 230 on the first water storage area 200, thereby improving the strength of the chassis, so that the first water storage area 200 of the chassis is not easily deformed when subjected to vibration, shock or impact during transportation or when the air conditioner is in operation, thereby improving the use quality of the chassis.

[0094] Optionally, the reinforcement structure 231 may be a plate-shaped structure, a block-shaped structure, a strip-shaped structure or other structures, which are not limited in detail in this embodiment.

[0095] Optionally, a plurality of reinforcing structures 231 are provided and are evenly spaced and distributed on the second side wall 230 .

[0096] The plurality of reinforcement structures 231 are distributed on the second side wall 230 along the length direction of the second side wall 230 , and the distance between two adjacent reinforcement structures 231 is equal.

[0097] The air conditioner chassis structure of the present invention improves the strength and quality of the left side wall of the chassis by further enhancing the structural strength of the second side wall 230, thereby extending the service life of the chassis.

[0098] Optionally, combined Figure 6 As shown, the V-shaped structure of the first side wall 220 has a first side edge 222 and a second side edge 223 at the front and rear ends of the water passing notch 221, respectively. The inclination angle α1 of the first side edge 222 relative to the front-to-back direction is between 5°-10°, and / or the inclination angle α2 of the second side edge 223 relative to the front-to-back direction is between 5°-10°.

[0099] The first side wall 220 is divided into two sections by the water-passing notch 221, and the first side wall 220 is arranged perpendicular to the left and right directions. Figure 5 There are two line segments in the middle, and the two line segments respectively constitute two sides of the V-shape, wherein the line segment located at the front end of the water-passing notch 221 constitutes the first side 222 of the V-shape, and the line segment located at the rear end of the water-passing notch 221 constitutes the second side 223 of the V-shape. The inclination angle α1 of the first side 222 relative to the front-to-back direction is the angle between the first side 222 and the front-to-back direction, and the inclination angle α2 of the second side 223 relative to the front-to-back direction is the angle between the second side 223 and the front-to-back direction. When the inclination angle of the first side 222 and / or the second side 223 relative to the front-to-back direction is too large, it means that the inclination angle of the first side wall 220 divided into two sections by the water-passing gap 221 is also large. Due to the structural limitations of the chassis itself, when the inclination angle of the first side wall 220 is too large, it will affect other structures on the chassis, or reduce the area of ​​the first water storage area 200, reduce the water storage capacity of the first water storage area 200, and cause the condensed water to overflow the chassis when the amount of condensed water generated increases, causing the air conditioner to leak.

[0100] In this embodiment, α1 and / or α2 are set between 5°-10°. Within this angle range, the comprehensive performance of the first water storage area 200 in terms of water storage capacity and diversion effect is better, which can ensure that the first water storage area 200 not only has sufficient water storage area to prevent water leakage of the air conditioner without affecting other structures of the chassis, but also ensures that the first side wall 220 has a diversion effect and a good drainage effect.

[0101] Optionally, combined Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first wind shielding rib 211 and the second wind shielding rib 212 are arranged obliquely, and the free ends of the first wind shielding rib 211 and the second wind shielding rib 212 are close to the first side wall 220 , which are suitable for guiding the condensed water to flow toward the first side wall 220 .

[0102] Specifically, that is to say, the free ends of the first wind shield rib 211 and the second wind shield rib 212 are respectively inclined toward the first side wall 220 located at the front end and the rear end of the water-passing notch 221, that is, the first side wall 220 divided into two sections by the water-passing notch 221 is extended to intersect with the third wind shield rib 213, and then from the front to the rear direction, the minimum distance between the first wind shield rib 211 and the first side wall 220 after extension and located at the front end of the third wind shield rib 213 gradually increases; the minimum distance between the second wind shield rib 212 and the first side wall 220 after extension and located at the rear end of the third wind shield rib 213 gradually decreases. In combination with the coordinate system in the figure, the first wind shield rib 211 is inclined toward the right rear, and the second wind shield rib 212 is inclined toward the right front.

[0103] The air conditioner chassis structure described in the present invention can prevent condensed water from being blocked by the first wind shield rib 211 and the second wind shield rib 212 on the side away from the water passing notch 221, so that the condensed water dripping into the first water storage area 200 flows along the first wind shield rib 211 and the second wind shield rib 212 to the first side wall 220, and then flows along the first side wall 220 to the water passing notch 221, thereby improving the diversion effect and enhancing the drainage effect of the first water storage area 200.

[0104] Optionally, combined Figure 7 As shown, the inclination angle α3 of the first wind shielding rib 211 relative to the front-rear direction is between 15° and 30°, and / or the inclination angle α4 of the second wind shielding rib 212 relative to the front-rear direction is between 15° and 30°.

[0105] Since the first wind shield rib 211 and / or the second wind shield rib 212 are plate-like structures with uniform thickness, the inclination angle α3 of the first wind shield rib 211 relative to the front-to-back direction is the angle between the side of the first wind shield rib 211 located in the left-right direction and the front-to-back direction; the inclination angle α4 of the second wind shield rib 212 relative to the front-to-back direction is the angle between the side of the second wind shield rib 212 located in the left-right direction and the front-to-back direction. The first wind shield rib 211 and / or the second wind shield rib 212 are arranged perpendicular to the horizontal plane, wherein the horizontal plane also refers to a plane perpendicular to the up-down direction. Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the angle between the left side surface of the first wind shielding rib 211 and / or the second wind shielding rib 212 and the front-to-back direction is used as an example for explanation. The left side surface of the first wind shielding rib 211 and / or the second wind shielding rib 212 is shown as a line segment in the figure. A water passing area is formed between the free ends of the first wind shielding rib 211 and the second wind shielding rib 212 and the first side wall 220. The inclination angle of the first wind shielding rib 211 relative to the front-to-back direction is used as an example for explanation. When the inclination angle of the first wind shield rib 211 relative to the front-to-back direction is set too large, the minimum distance between the free end of the first wind shield rib 211 and the first side wall 220 becomes smaller, so that the water flow area formed between the free end of the first wind shield rib 211 and the first side wall 220 becomes smaller, thereby extending the drainage time of the first water storage area 200 and reducing the drainage effect of the first water storage area 200; when the inclination angle of the first wind shield rib 211 relative to the front-to-back direction is set too small, the first wind shield rib 211 almost loses its water guiding function and the diversion effect is poor.

[0106] In this embodiment, α3 and / or α4 are set between 15° and 30°. Within this angle range, it is ensured that the first wind shielding rib plate 211 and / or the second wind shielding rib plate 212 have a certain flow guiding effect, and it is ensured that the condensed water can smoothly flow from the water passing area formed between the free end of the first wind shielding rib plate 211 and / or the second wind shielding rib plate 212 and the first side wall 220 to the water passing gap 221, and the drainage effect is better.

[0107] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, one end of the third wind shield rib 213 extends to the water passing notch 221, and the other end of the third wind shield rib 213 extends to the side of the water storage area 200 away from the evaporator, and divides the water storage area 200 into a first water storage tank 240 and a second water storage tank 250. The bottom surface of the first water storage tank 240 and the bottom surface of the second water storage tank 250 are on a side away from the third wind shield rib 213 that is higher than the side connected to the third wind shield rib 213, and are suitable for guiding condensed water to flow toward the third wind shield rib 213.
