[0040] The present invention provides a water receiving tray 100 and a window type air conditioner 200 using the water receiving tray 100. Figures 1 to 3In an embodiment of the present invention, the water receiving tray 100 includes a main tray body 110, a wiring portion 120, and a drainage structure 130. The shape and structure of the main tray body 110 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited here. The drainage structure 130 of the present application is arranged at the right end of the main tray body 110 to discharge the condensed water of the evaporator to the outside, wherein the drainage structure 130 can be a drainage hole, a drainage pipe, or a drainage trough. The wiring portion 120 is connected to one side of the main tray body 110. The main tray body 110 and the wiring portion 120 can be an integral structure, or a split structure and fixed together by a detachable connection method. For example, the main tray body 110 and the wiring portion 120 are detachably connected by means of screw connection or snap connection. The wiring portion 120 is used to fix and position the wires in the air conditioner during the assembly process of the air conditioner.

[0041] The water receiving tray 100 of the present application can be applied to air conditioners of various structural forms, such as split type or integrated type air conditioners. Figures 4 to 6 In an embodiment of the present invention, the window air conditioner 200 has a casing 210, wherein the window air conditioner 200 is divided into an indoor structure 200a and an outdoor structure 200b corresponding to the indoor side and the outdoor side, and the casing 210 has two parts corresponding to the indoor structure 200a and the outdoor structure 200b respectively. Specifically, the casing 210 includes a box body 211 and a chassis 212 arranged at the lower part of the box body 211, and the indoor structure 200a also includes an evaporator 220 and an indoor fan 230 arranged in the box body 211, and an indoor air inlet 231 and an indoor air outlet 232 arranged on the box body 211, and a filter is arranged on the indoor air inlet 231, and the evaporator 220 is located between the indoor air inlet 231 and the indoor fan 230, and the evaporator 220 can be a single-stage type or a multi-stage type, wherein the attached Figure 4 The evaporator 220 is divided into two sections, and the indoor air enters through the indoor air inlet 231 and is discharged through the indoor air outlet 232 under the drive of the indoor fan 230. The outdoor structure 200b also includes an outdoor fan, a condenser, a compressor, and an outdoor air inlet and an outdoor air outlet arranged on the box 211.

[0042] The water receiving tray 110 is located between the evaporator 220 and the chassis 212, and the water receiving tray 100 is installed on the chassis 212 and is located below the evaporator 220. Specifically, a buckle 117 can be convexly provided on the outer side of the main tray body 110, and a buckle hole is correspondingly provided on the chassis 212. The water receiving tray 100 and the chassis 212 are snap-fitted, or the main tray body 110 and the chassis 212 are threadedly connected through screws and screw holes. The main tray body 110 corresponds to the lower position of the evaporator 220 to receive the condensed water generated during the heat exchange process of the evaporator 220. During assembly, the wires connecting the indoor structure 200a and the outdoor structure 200b of the window air conditioner 200 can be positioned and fixed via the wiring portion 120 on the water receiving tray 100.

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention is to set a wiring portion 120 on one side of the main disk body 110. During the actual installation process, the water receiving tray 100 is located between the bottom plate 212 and the evaporator 220. The wires in the air conditioner can be installed and passed through the wiring portion 120, and there is no need to set up other wiring structures, which improves the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner, reduces the production cost of the air conditioner, and solves the problem of wire routing safety of the air conditioner.

[0044] Please refer to it again Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 6 The wiring portion 120 is provided with a plurality of retaining walls, and a plurality of wiring grooves 121 arranged at intervals are defined between the retaining walls. The wiring grooves 121 include a strong current wiring groove 1211 and a weak current wiring groove 1212. The plurality of wiring grooves 121 are separated and divided into a strong current wiring groove 1211 and a weak current wiring groove 1212, wherein the weak current wiring groove 1212 can pass through weak current wirings such as sensor wires, and the strong current wiring groove 1211 can pass through strong current wirings such as power lines. The wiring groove 121 has a first opening 121a and a second opening 121b, and the second opening 121b is toward the outdoor side of the window air conditioner 200. The opening direction of the first opening 121a is approximately 90 degrees to the direction of the second opening 121b. Therefore, both the strong current wire and the weak current wire pass through the second opening 121b from the outdoor side of the window air conditioner 200 and directly enter the wiring portion 120 in the water receiving tray 100, and then turn around and pass through the first opening 121a to bypass the water receiving tray 100 and electrically connect with the electronic components in the indoor structure 200a of the window air conditioner 200. Such a layout is conducive to improving assembly efficiency and is conducive to the overall EMC testing of the air conditioner.

[0045] In order to improve assembly efficiency, the present application further provides a wire buckle 122 on the groove wall of the wiring groove 121, wherein the wire buckle 122 can be provided on one groove wall of the wiring groove 121 alone, or the wire buckle 122 can be provided on the groove walls of two opposite wiring grooves 121, and the wire buckle 122 can fix the wire so that the wire is confined in the wiring groove 121. In order to improve the safety of the air conditioner, a water leakage hole 123 is further provided in the wiring part 120, wherein the water leakage hole 123 can be provided on the groove bottom wall of the wiring groove 121, so that the condensed water in the window air conditioner 200 that falls on the wiring part 120 can also be quickly discharged, and the safety hazard can be eliminated as much as possible.

[0046] The above content describes in detail the improvement of the water receiving tray 100 of the present application in combination with the wire installation. In addition, the water receiving tray 100 of the present application has also made improvements in the discharge of condensed water. The water receiving tray 100 also includes a buffer slot 150 connected to the main tray body 110. The buffer slot 150 is located at the end of the main tray body 110 (i.e., the attached Figure 1 , 2 , 3), the main disk body 110 is provided with a water guide groove 111 connecting the buffer groove 150 and the drainage structure 130, and the wiring part 120 is located between the buffer groove 150 and the drainage structure 130. The buffer groove 150 is connected to a side of the main disk body 110 facing the outdoor side of the window air conditioner 200, and extends from the indoor side of the window air conditioner 200 to the outdoor side. After the water receiving pan 100 is assembled to the window air conditioner 200, the buffer groove 150 has a plurality of connecting pipe edges corresponding to the left side of the evaporator 220. During the heat exchange process of the evaporator 220, more condensed water will be generated here. The condensed water here cannot be quickly discharged through the water guide groove 111 and the drainage structure 130. Therefore, the buffer groove 150 is provided. The condensed water that cannot be quickly discharged will flow into the buffer groove 150. That is, the buffer groove 150 is equivalent to expanding the volume of the water receiving pan 100 at the position corresponding to the evaporator 220 where more condensed water is generated, so that the condensed water at this position stays in the water receiving pan 100 for a longer time. Then, the condensed water with a lower temperature just generated can be heated up and then overflow from the buffer groove 150 to the bottom chassis 212. Therefore, the outer wall surface of the indoor side corresponding to the chassis 212 will not generate condensed water due to the lower temperature of the condensed water. Therefore, it is not easy for dripping to occur at this point on the indoor side during the use of the window air conditioner 200.

[0047] In order to discharge condensed water to the outside as quickly as possible, the bottom wall 113 of the water guide groove 111 is arranged as an inclined surface in the direction from the buffer groove 150 to the drainage structure 130, and the drainage structure 130 is located at the lowest point of the inclined surface. Furthermore, the bottom wall 113 of the water guide groove 111 is inclined downward in the direction from the indoor side to the outdoor side of the window air conditioner 200.

[0048] The bottom wall 113 of the water guide groove 111 is arranged as an inclined surface, which can be understood as the bottom wall 113 of the water guide groove 111 in the upper surface of the water receiving tray 100 facing the evaporator 220 is arranged as an inclined surface, and the bottom wall 113 is arranged as shown in the attached Figure 1 and 2 The bottom wall 113 is inclined in the left-right direction, and the left side of the bottom wall 113 is higher than the right side. The inclination angle can be set according to actual needs and is not limited here. The bottom wall 113 is configured as an inclined surface. During the production process of the water receiving tray 100, the thickness of the bottom wall 113 gradually decreases from left to right, especially the upper surface of the bottom wall 113 facing the evaporator 220 gradually tilts downward from left to right. Therefore, during the heat exchange process of the evaporator 220, the condensed water will flow along the surrounding due to its own gravity. Figure 1 , 2 The water is discharged to the outdoor side of the window type air conditioner 200 through the drainage structure 130 provided at the right end of the water receiving tray 100 in the direction of the arrow in 6 .

[0049] In order to facilitate the discharge of condensed water to the outdoor side of the window air conditioner 200, the present application preferably configures the drainage structure 130 as a drainage groove structure, and the drainage groove extends to the outdoor side of the window air conditioner 200. The present application provides a drainage hole 2121 on the chassis 212 of the window air conditioner 200 (see attached Figure 6 ), after the extension portion 132 extends to the outdoor side of the chassis 212, the drainage is discharged to the outside through the drainage hole 2121. The above-mentioned arrangement of the drainage structure 130 requires fewer pipes for the window air conditioner 200, and the structure is optimized and concise.

[0050] The water receiving tray 100 of the present application has the above advantages. Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 5, a sealing structure is formed on one side of the main plate body 110 of the water receiving plate 100 near the wiring portion 120, and the sealing structure is used to seal and contact with the bottom of the evaporator 220. In some embodiments, the sealing structure may be a sealing step 114 that contacts the bottom of the evaporator 220, and the sealing step 114 is formed by the bottom wall of the main plate body 110 protruding upward, and one surface of the sealing step 114 is in surface contact with the bottom of the evaporator 220 to achieve sealing. As described above, in other embodiments, the sealing structure may also be a trough structure that at least partially wraps the bottom of the evaporator 220. Specifically, the trough structure may be arranged correspondingly at the sealing step 114, and may be two spaced baffles protruding upward from the bottom wall, and the baffles and the bottom wall enclose the trough structure, and the bottom side plate of the evaporator 220 is embedded in the trough structure. The present application forms a sealing structure on the surface of the side wall 120 of the main plate body 110 facing the evaporator 220, and the sealing structure contacts the bottom of the evaporator 220 to prevent airflow from passing between the bottom of the evaporator 220 and the water receiving tray 100. Therefore, during the use of the window air conditioner 200, the airflow entering the air conditioner is fully contacted with the evaporator 220 before being discharged, which can greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency of the window air conditioner 200.

[0051] Furthermore, the window air conditioner 200 further includes an air duct volute 240 covering the air outlet side of the evaporator 220, and the sealing step 114 includes a sealing side wall 115 and a sealing top wall 116, the sealing top wall 116 is in sealing contact with the bottom of the air duct volute 240, and the sealing side wall 115 is in sealing contact with the bottom of the evaporator 220. The sealing top wall 116 and the sealing side wall 115 are both inclined to guide condensed water into the water guide groove 111. In the actual installation process, the lower section of the evaporator 220 is also tilted, and the inclination angle of the sealing side wall 115 is suitable for installing the evaporator 220.

[0052] In some embodiments, a mounting portion 170 is further disposed in the main tray body 110 , and the mounting portion 170 abuts against a side of the evaporator 220 to support the evaporator 220 .

[0053] The mounting portion 170 is an upwardly protruding bracket structure for supporting the evaporator 220, and the mounting portion 170 is also inclined. During the assembly process, the mounting portion 170 cooperates with the sealing side wall 115 to position and clamp the two sides of the lower portion of the evaporator 220, making the assembly more convenient.

[0054] The mounting portion 170 is also provided with a snap-fitting position 171 that is snap-fitted with the side plate on the evaporator 220. The snap-fitting position 171 is in the shape of a groove. When the side plate of the evaporator 220 is snapped into the snap-fitting position 171 during the assembly process, the bottom of the evaporator 220 contacts the sealing side wall 115, so that the mounting portion 170 bears a greater gravity of the evaporator 220, which can reduce the impact of the evaporator 220 on the sealing side wall 115, so that the entire sealing step 114 is not easily deformed due to the extrusion of the evaporator 220.

[0055] In some embodiments, the main tray 110 is further provided with an air inlet 180, and the mounting portion 170 is provided with at least two air inlets 180 at intervals, and the air inlet 180 is located between the two mounting portions 170. In the present application, the water receiving tray 100 is also provided with an air inlet 180, wherein the bottom plate 212 of the window air conditioner 200 is also provided with an air inlet corresponding to the air inlet 180, so that during the use of the window air conditioner 200, air can be simultaneously introduced from the front side and the bottom to increase the air intake volume and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments, the lower surface of the main tray body 110 and / or the wiring portion 120 is connected with a reinforcing rib 190, and the reinforcing rib 190 is supported on the bottom plate 212. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 190 are arranged at intervals and arranged at intervals in the length direction of the main tray body 110. The arrangement of the reinforcing ribs 190 improves the overall strength of the water receiving tray 100 on the one hand, and separates the water receiving tray 100 from the bottom plate 212 on the other hand, so that a channel is formed between the bottom of the water receiving tray 100 and the bottom plate 212, so that condensed water can flow more easily from the indoor side to the outdoor side along the bottom plate 212.

[0057] The window air conditioner 200 of the present application is suitable for being installed in a mounting opening on a wall when in use, and a movable shielding member is provided in the mounting opening; the shielding member can be a window, a window sash, a curtain, or a window blind.

[0058] In order to achieve good sealing and less air leakage during the use of the window air conditioner 200, please refer to Figure 4 , 7 8. The outer peripheral wall of the box body 211 of the window air conditioner 200 of the present application is provided with a downwardly recessed receiving groove 213, and at least a portion of the shielding member can extend into the receiving groove 213 (for example, it extends into the receiving groove 213 during the process of the window closing and moving down), and the chassis 212 is placed on the wall surface of the installation opening of the wall; further, the window air conditioner 200 also includes a sealing device 250, which is movably connected to the casing 210, and the sealing device 250 is movable to switch between a storage state and a working state. In the storage state, the sealing device 250 is stored in the receiving groove 213, and in the working state, the sealing device 250 extends relative to the receiving groove 213 and contacts with the lower end of the shielding member to seal the gap between the shielding member and the installation opening.

[0059] Specifically, the sealing device 250 can be rotatably connected or detachably connected to the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 213, and is arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the box body 211. When rotatably connected, the end of each sealing device 250 can be rotatably connected to the casing 210 by forming a hook arranged at its end and a rotating shaft arranged in the accommodating groove 213, and when the sealing device 250 is in a sealed state, it has a thickness equal to the distance between the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 213 and the surface of the mounting port where the window air conditioner 200 is placed. Therefore, the sealing device 250 can seal the gap between the bottom of the shielding member and the surface of the mounting port and located on the left and right sides of the window air conditioner 200 after the shielding member moves down to the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 213, thereby reducing the phenomenon of air leakage from the window air conditioner 200 to the installation location to the outside world in the room, thereby improving the cooling and heating effects of the window air conditioner 200.

[0060] The sealing device 250 of the present application may be a retractable structure, that is, the sealing device 250 may be a structure such as a sleeve, and the end thereof that is not connected to the housing 210 may be extended out of the receiving groove 213 in a direction away from the housing 210, thereby filling the gap between the covering member and the surface of the mounting opening, and in the storage state, may be retracted into the receiving groove 213 without taking up space.

[0061] In order to further improve the sealing effect, the present application provides a sealing layer on the outer surface of the sealing device 250 and / or the inner wall of the receiving groove 213, wherein the material of the sealing layer can be a soft material such as silicone, sponge or rubber, and the sealing layer can be adhered to the outer surface of the sealing device 250 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 213 by glue. When the shielding member moves down into the receiving groove 213, the sealing layer contacts the surface of the shielding member to further prevent air leakage, or when the sealing device 250 is in a sealed state, the surface of the shielding member and the installation port contacts the sealing layer to prevent air leakage, thereby improving energy efficiency.

[0062] The above descriptions are only optional embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
