[0002] The stop valve sleeve usually drains the accumulated water in the sleeve to the chassis drain channel through drainage ribs. The existing drainage ribs only have one inclined direction, and the drainage ribs usually have an inclined angle. When the flow rate of the accumulated water is large, the water is easy to flow out from the edge and does not enter the waterway. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a stop valve jacket drainage structure, in order to solve at least one aspect of the above-mentioned problems to at least a certain extent.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a stop valve sleeve drainage structure, including a first drainage slope and a second drainage slope adjacent to each other in the stop valve sleeve, the second drainage slope being inclined relative to the first drainage slope, and the second drainage slope being connected to a drainage groove so that water can be drained from the second drainage slope into the drainage groove.

[0005] Optionally, a grille is provided between the second drainage slope and the drainage groove.

[0006] The grille filters the water flowing from the second drainage slope into the drainage trough to prevent insects from entering the drainage trough and then polluting the bottom tray waterway.

[0007] Optionally, the first drainage slope is inclined at a first angle a relative to a horizontal plane.

[0008] Ensure that the condensed water in the stop valve sleeve can be drained out quickly to avoid the accumulation of condensed water in the stop valve sleeve.

[0009] Optionally, the angle range of the first angle a is: 20°≤a≤30°.

[0010] Within this angle range, the structural strength of the first drainage slope will not be affected, and it is convenient to guide the condensed water, so that the water flow rate is maintained within an appropriate range, avoiding the water from rushing out too quickly and causing water accumulation.

[0011] Optionally, the second drainage slope is inclined at a second angle b relative to the first drainage slope.

[0012] It prevents water flowing down the first drainage slope from flowing out of the stop valve sleeve, and blocks and guides the water flowing on the first drainage slope.

[0013] Optionally, the angle range of the second angle b is: 130°≤b≤150°.

[0014] Within this angle range, the second drainage slope can prevent water from rushing out easily.

[0015] Optionally, one end of the second drainage slope away from the drainage groove is higher than the other end of the second drainage slope close to the drainage groove.

[0016] After the water flows to the second drainage slope, it is guided to the drainage groove and then discharged from the stop valve sleeve.

[0017] Optionally, the second drainage slope is inclined at a third angle c relative to the horizontal plane.

[0018] The second drainage slope blocks the water flowing down from the first drainage slope and diverts it to another direction, and finally flows into the drainage trough.

[0019] Optionally, the angle range of the third angle c is: 2°≤c≤7°.

[0020] Within this angle range, the second drainage slope has a better drainage effect.

[0021] Optionally, the drainage groove has a third drainage slope and a fourth drainage slope adjacent to each other, and the third drainage slope is inclined at a fourth angle d relative to the horizontal plane.

[0022] Improve the drainage efficiency of the drainage trough.

[0023] Optionally, the angle range of the fourth angle d is: 8°≤d≤25°.

[0024] Thereby, water can be discharged from the drainage trough quickly, thereby improving drainage efficiency.

[0025] Optionally, the fourth drainage slope is arranged horizontally relative to the horizontal plane.

[0026] It is convenient to plug and match the drainage groove and the side plate to ensure that the water flows smoothly into the bottom plate.

[0027] Optionally, the fourth drainage slope extends out of the stop valve sleeve.

[0028] Easy to plug and match with the side panel.

[0029] Optionally, the drainage groove is suitable for being arranged below the buckle of the stop valve sleeve.

[0030] The drainage groove and the buckle can share a socket, and the upper and lower structures can be closed to further prevent the drainage groove from being contaminated by foreign objects.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the stop valve jacket drainage structure of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0032] The stop valve sleeve drainage structure described in the present invention is achieved by arranging adjacent first and second drainage slopes in the stop valve sleeve, wherein the second drainage slope is inclined relative to the first drainage slope to prevent water from flowing out from the edge of the first drainage slope, and draining the water into the drainage groove through the second drainage slope and flowing smoothly to the chassis.

[0033] The present invention also provides an air conditioner having the above-mentioned stop valve sheath drainage structure.

[0034] The advantages of the air conditioner and the stop valve sheath drainage structure compared with the prior art are the same, which will not be repeated here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0042] The stop valve of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is exposed to the outside and is easily damaged; and when the air conditioner is in cooling operation, the surface temperatures of the high and low pressure stop valves of the outdoor unit are relatively low, and the water vapor in the ambient air around the valve body will condense into condensed water on the surface and flow down. The condensed water drips down along the stop valve, affecting the users below the outdoor unit and causing user complaints. At present, a stop valve cover is usually installed on the outside of the stop valve, and water droplets drip from the stop valve into the stop valve sleeve. The stop valve sleeve usually drains the accumulated water in the sleeve to the chassis drain channel through drainage ribs. The existing drainage ribs have only one inclined direction, and the drainage ribs usually have an inclined angle. When the flow rate of the accumulated water is large, the water is easy to flow out from the edge and does not enter the waterway.

[0043] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0044] In addition, a brief explanation is given for the orientations involved in this specific implementation: the directions or positional relationships indicated by "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left", "right", etc., of each structural member mentioned below refer to the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings; these positional relationships are only for the convenience of description and simplified description, and do not indicate or imply that the device referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0045] 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.

[0046] The horizontal plane involved in this embodiment is a reference datum plane, and the horizontal plane is parallel to the ground. This embodiment describes the structure of the stop valve sleeve and the air conditioner after they are assembled.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, a stop valve sleeve drainage structure includes a first drainage slope 1 and a second drainage slope 2 adjacently arranged in the stop valve sleeve, the second drainage slope 2 is inclined relative to the first drainage slope 1, and the second drainage slope 2 hinders the water flowing down from the first drainage slope 1, thereby preventing the condensed water on the first drainage slope 1 from flowing to the outside and causing the condensed water to drip. The second drainage slope 2 is connected to a drainage groove 3 so that water is drained from the second drainage slope 2 to the drainage groove 3. The first drainage slope 1 can be a bottom surface or a receiving surface arranged at any position in the stop valve sleeve to receive the condensed water. It can be understood that the first drainage slope 1 should cover or overlap with the bottom surface of the stop valve sleeve, so as to ensure that the condensed water from any position of the stop valve can be gathered on the first drainage slope 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, the first drainage slope 1 is the bottom surface of the stop valve sleeve, which simplifies the structure, and the condensed water directly drips on the bottom surface and then collects. The second drainage slope 2 is the upper side of a drainage plate, the left and right side walls of the drainage plate and the inner wall of the stop valve sleeve are fixedly connected together, the rear side wall of the drainage plate is connected to the bottom surface of the stop valve sleeve, and the front side wall of the drainage plate is away from the bottom surface of the stop valve sleeve. Specifically, the drainage plate and the stop valve sleeve are integrally injection molded, and the connection between the drainage plate and the stop valve sleeve has good sealing to avoid water leakage. The first drainage slope 1 is used to drain the water in the stop valve sleeve, and the second drainage slope 2 has a blocking effect on the water flowing down the first drainage slope 1, and further guides the drainage to the drainage groove 3, and is discharged through the drainage groove 3. When the stop valve sleeve is installed on the side plate, the first drainage slope 1 is tilted downward, and the condensation water on the inner wall of the valve body sleeve or the infiltrated rainwater flows to the first drainage slope 1 under the action of gravity, and continues to flow downward through the first drainage slope 1 to the second drainage slope 2, is blocked by the second drainage slope 2, and is guided to the other direction through the second drainage slope 2 to be drained into the drainage groove 3, flows through the drainage groove 3 to the chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit (not shown), and is discharged through the waterway of the chassis, with a good drainage effect.

[0049] The stop valve sleeve is connected to the side plate through multiple buckles, and the stop valve sleeve and the side plate can be quickly disassembled. Specifically, multiple buckles are arranged on the left and right sides of the stop valve sleeve, so that the connection between the stop valve sleeve and the side plate is more stable.

[0050] In this embodiment, a socket adapted to the drainage groove is provided on the side panel, which can play a positioning function when the stop valve sleeve and the side panel are assembled, and the installation efficiency is high. At the same time, the drainage groove and the side panel are plugged in and matched, which is convenient for introducing condensed water into the chassis through the drainage groove. Specifically, the drainage groove is arranged below the buckle of the stop valve sleeve. The drainage groove is a groove body opened on the side of the stop valve sleeve, and a part extends outward, which is convenient for plugging with the side panel and draining water into the chassis. The drainage groove and the buckle can share a socket, and the upper and lower structures can be closed to further prevent the drainage groove from being contaminated by foreign objects. In addition, the number of openings on the side panel is reduced, and the strength is improved.

[0051] A grille 4 is provided between the second drainage slope 2 and the drainage groove 3. Specifically, in this embodiment, the grille 4 is formed by hollowing out the side wall of the stop valve sleeve located above the side wall of the drainage groove 3. The side of the drainage groove 3 is integrally connected with the second drainage slope 2. Preferably, the side of the drainage groove 3 and the second drainage slope 2 are connected at a smooth transition, so as to facilitate the water to flow smoothly from the second drainage slope 2 into the drainage groove 3. It can be understood that the position of the bottom surface of the drainage groove 3 is lower than the position of the second drainage slope 2, so as to facilitate the water to flow from the second drainage slope 2 to the drainage groove 3. The grille 4 filters the water flowing from the second drainage slope 2 to the drainage groove 3 to prevent insects from entering the drainage groove 3 and then polluting the chassis waterway.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, the first drainage slope 1 is inclined at a first angle a relative to the horizontal plane. Specifically, the first drainage slope 1 is inclined at a first angle a from the rear side to the front side of the stop valve sleeve from high to low, ensuring that the condensed water in the stop valve sleeve can be quickly drained out to avoid the accumulation of condensed water in the stop valve sleeve, wherein 20°≤a≤30°, if the angle of the first drainage slope 1 is too large, it will make the local area too thin and the strength is difficult to ensure. Within this angle range, the structural strength of the first drainage slope 1 will not be affected, and it is convenient to guide the condensed water, so that the water flow rate is maintained within an appropriate range, avoiding the water from rushing out too quickly and causing water accumulation. Preferably, in this embodiment, the first angle a is 25°, so that the first drainage slope 1 has sufficient strength and can quickly discharge the condensed water dripping into the stop valve sleeve.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the second drainage slope 2 is inclined at a second angle b relative to the first drainage slope. Specifically, the second drainage slope 2 is inclined at a second angle b from low to high from the rear side to the front side of the stop valve sleeve to prevent the water flowing down from the first drainage slope 1 from flowing out of the stop valve sleeve, and to block and guide the water flowing on the first drainage slope 1. Among them, 130°≤b≤150°, within this angle range, the second drainage slope 2 can prevent water from rushing out easily, and in the case of too fast water flow, it can effectively slow down the impact of the water flow, so that the water flow stabilizes more steadily. Preferably, the second angle b is 144.6°, so that the second drainage slope 2 has a good blocking effect on water, and will not be affected by a large impact of the water flow, causing the water to splash out.

[0054] One end of the second drainage slope 2 away from the drainage groove 3 is higher than the other end of the second drainage slope 2 close to the drainage groove 3. After flowing to the second drainage slope 2, the water flow is guided into the drainage groove 3 and then discharged from the stop valve sleeve.

[0055] like Figure 4As shown, the second drainage slope 2 is inclined at a third angle c relative to the horizontal plane. Specifically, the second drainage slope 2 is inclined from the left side to the right side of the stop valve sleeve from high to low at the third angle c, wherein 2°≤c≤7°, preferably, the range of the third angle c is 3°≤c≤5°, within this angle range, the second drainage slope 2 has a good diversion effect. Preferably, the third angle c is 3.6°, so that water can be quickly diverted to the drainage groove 3.

[0056] The second drainage slope 2 is inclined in two directions to block the water flowing down from the first drainage slope 1 and divert it to another direction, and finally flows into the drainage groove 3, and is finally discharged from the drainage groove 3 arranged under the buckle. It has a compact structure and a reasonable layout, and can effectively drain the water in the stop valve sleeve cleanly without any residue.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, the drainage groove 3 has a third drainage slope 31 and a fourth drainage slope 32 adjacent to each other, and the third drainage slope 31 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane at a fourth angle d. Specifically, the third drainage slope 31 is inclined from the rear side to the front side of the stop valve sleeve from high to low at a fourth angle d, wherein 8°≤d≤25°, preferably, the range of the fourth angle d is 10°≤d≤20°, so that water can be quickly discharged from the drainage groove 3, improving drainage efficiency. Preferably, the fourth angle d is 15.4°, so as to ensure that water flows normally and does not overflow.

[0058] The fourth drainage slope 32 is arranged horizontally relative to the horizontal plane, so as to facilitate the plug-in fit between the drainage groove 3 and the side plate, thereby ensuring that the water flows smoothly into the bottom plate.

[0059] The fourth drainage slope 32 extends out of the stop valve sleeve to facilitate plugging and matching with the side plate.

[0060] like Figure 5 As shown, an air conditioner includes the stop valve sheath drainage structure as mentioned above.

[0061] The side plate is provided with a socket, and the drainage groove extends out of the stop valve sheath and is suitable for connecting with the socket. The assembly clearance between the drainage groove and the socket is 0.5-1 mm, which can play a positioning function and has high installation efficiency. At the same time, the drainage groove and the side plate are plug-in matched, which is convenient for guiding condensed water into the chassis through the drainage groove.

[0062] Due to the operation of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the compressor compression generates a higher temperature. Generally, the compressor surface temperature is between 60°-90°, and the temperature around the compressor is between 35°-50°. The high temperature can evaporate the condensed water that flows to the chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit, thereby achieving a good effect of no dripping.

[0063] After the drainage groove is inserted into the socket of the side plate, the assembly of the stop valve sleeve and the side plate is completed through multiple buckles.

[0064] The stop valve sheath in this embodiment is made of plastic material by integral injection molding. Condensed water drips onto the first drainage slope 1 through the stop valve. Since the first drainage slope 1 is inclined toward the front side wall of the stop valve sheath, the condensed water is guided to the second drainage slope 2. The second drainage slope 2 blocks the water flowing down through the first drainage slope 1, guides the condensed water to change direction and finally merge into the drainage groove 3, guides the condensed water into the chassis of the air conditioner outdoor unit, and leads it out through the chassis drain pipe to prevent the condensed water from directly dripping and affecting the residents on the lower floors.

[0065] In order to facilitate the insertion with the socket on the side panel, in this embodiment, the bottom of the drainage groove 3 is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane. In other embodiments, the bottom surface of the drainage groove 3 can also be arranged tilted to facilitate better diversion of condensed water. The drainage groove 3 can be a concave groove or a V-shaped groove. The structural shape and length size of the drainage groove 3 can be more flexibly selected. In this embodiment, the drainage groove 3 is a concave groove structure, so that it has a larger accommodating space and can divert more condensed water. A reinforcing rib structure is provided at the bottom end of the drainage groove 3 to improve the structural strength of the drainage groove 3.

[0066] When the stop valve sleeve is installed on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the drainage groove 3 is first inserted into the socket of the side panel. By inserting the drainage groove 3 into the socket of the side panel, it not only plays a fixing role, but also locates the installation position of the stop valve sleeve. Then the installation is completed with the fixing screws, which improves the installation efficiency.

[0067] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
