Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Condensed water is usually generated during the operation of the air conditioner. For mobile air conditioners, the condensed water generated by the mobile air conditioner is collected on the chassis through the water leakage structure, and then the condensed water is sprinkled on the condenser assembly through the water pumping structure, which can not only cool the condenser assembly and improve the energy efficiency of the air conditioning system, but also save the user the trouble of pouring condensed water. When the air humidity is relatively high, since the speed of condensed water generation is usually greater than the speed of consumption by the water pumping structure inside the air conditioner, in order to prevent excessive condensed water from being generated, the water pumping structure does not have time to consume it, causing the condensed water to overflow the chassis and bring inconvenience to the user.

[0003] In the prior art, a water level switch float is usually arranged on the base of the mobile air conditioner. Since the general water level is difficult to provide sufficient buoyancy to activate the water level switch float, in order to increase the local buoyancy at the bottom of the water level switch float, the corresponding position of the water level switch float is usually sunk. However, the sunken part is far away from the drain outlet. After the air conditioner is shut down, the accumulated water in the sunken part is difficult to drain. As time goes by, dust and scale are prone to accumulate in the sunken part. When too much dust and scale accumulate, the local buoyancy at the bottom of the water level switch float will become smaller, thereby affecting the performance of the water level switch float and failing to sense the warning water level of the chassis in time. In addition, the dust and scale accumulated in the sunken part will breed bacteria and produce odor if they are soaked in water for a long time, affecting the user's comfort. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner chassis structure, comprising a chassis body, the chassis body comprising a water level switch area, the bottom of the water level switch area is provided with a sinking part, and the bottom end of the sinking part is open;

[0005] A connecting piece is detachably connected to the submersible part and is used to open or close the opening of the bottom end.

[0006] The present invention opens the bottom end of the submerged part in the water level switch area and uses a connecting piece to detachably connect the submerged part. On the one hand, it is convenient for users to clean foreign objects such as dust or scale between the submerged part and the connecting piece in time, thereby improving the monitoring and early warning performance of the water level switch for the water level of the chassis, and preventing condensed water from overflowing from the chassis to the ground, causing inconvenience to users. On the other hand, it reduces the breeding of bacteria caused by foreign objects such as dust or scale soaked in water for a long time, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0007] Furthermore, the connecting piece is a screw cap, and the screw cap is threadedly connected to the submersible part.

[0008] The present invention adopts a screw cap to be threadedly connected with the sinking part to prevent water leakage and improve the user's comfort.

[0009] Furthermore, the screw cap is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall surface of the submersible part is provided with an external thread, and the external thread cooperates with the internal thread.

[0010] The present invention adopts the method of arranging an external thread on the submersible part so that the outer wall surface of the submersible part is accommodated in the screw cap, which can prevent water leakage on the one hand and facilitate the smoothness of the screw cap and the submersible part thread connection on the other hand.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the rotary cover contacts the lower surface of the chassis body.

[0012] When the rotary cover and the sinking part are assembled, the upper end surface of the rotary cover is in contact with the lower surface of the chassis body, which makes it easy for users to disassemble the rotary cover and ensure that the rotary cover and the sinking part are assembled in place after cleaning dust and other foreign matter, thereby preventing water leakage.

[0013] Furthermore, a sealing member is disposed in the rotary cover, and one side of the sealing member contacts the bottom end of the submersible part.

[0014] The present invention arranges a sealing member in the rotary cover. After the rotary cover and the sinker are tightened, the sealing member is squeezed to block the assembly gap at the end of the thread, thereby further preventing water leakage.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotary cover is provided with a waterproof groove, and the sealing element is arranged in the waterproof groove.

[0016] The present invention prevents the sealing member from falling off by arranging a waterproof groove for accommodating the sealing member in the rotary cover.

[0017] Furthermore, the fitting clearance between the internal thread and the external thread is between 0.1 mm and 0.15 mm.

[0018] The invention prevents water leakage by limiting the thread matching clearance to be close to zero.

[0019] Furthermore, the hardness of the chassis body is smaller than the hardness of the rotary cover.

[0020] The present invention adopts a chassis body with a hardness smaller than that of the screw cap, so that during the assembly process of the screw cap and the sinker, the screw cap continuously presses the outer wall surface of the sinker, reduces the matching clearance between the threads, and further prevents water leakage.

[0021] Furthermore, an anti-slip structure is provided on the outer wall surface of the rotary cover.

[0022] The present invention increases friction by arranging an anti-slip structure on the outer wall surface of the rotary cover, making it convenient for users to tighten the rotary cover and prevent water leakage.

[0023] A second aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioner chassis structure described above. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following Figure 1-6 The specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail.

[0033] See attached Figure 1 and 2 The first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner chassis structure 10, comprising a bottom plate body 100, the bottom plate body 100 comprises a water level switch area 110, a sinking part 120 is arranged at the bottom of the water level switch area 110, and the bottom end of the sinking part 120 is open;

[0034] The connecting member 200 is detachably connected to the submersible part 120 and is used to open or close the opening of the bottom end.

[0035] It should be noted that during the operation of the mobile air conditioner, as time goes by, foreign matter such as dust or scale will be deposited in the water storage area on the chassis. The water level switch area 110 is provided with a water level switch and a sinking part 120. The water level switch is used to detect the water level in the chassis. The water level switch floats up and down with the water level of the sinking part 120. When the speed of condensed water generation is greater than the speed of condensed water consumption, the water level in the chassis rises. When the water level reaches the warning height, the water level switch is activated, triggering the compressor to shut down and increasing the speed of water consumption to prevent condensed water from overflowing from the chassis; when foreign matter such as dust or scale accumulates at the bottom of the sinking part 120, the local buoyancy at the bottom of the water level switch is reduced, and the water level switch cannot sense the water level in the chassis in time, resulting in an excessively high water level, affecting the performance of the entire machine, and even condensed water overflowing from the chassis to the indoor floor, causing trouble to the user and affecting the user's comfort.

[0036] In this embodiment, the bottom end of the submersible part 120 is open, and the connecting piece 200 is detachably connected to the submersible part 120. When the connecting piece 200 is connected to the submersible part 120, the connecting piece 200 closes the bottom end of the submersible part 120. When the connecting piece 200 is separated from the submersible part 120, it is convenient for the user to clean the dust or scale in the submersible part 120 and the connecting part in time to prevent affecting the warning performance of the water level switch and reduce the breeding of bacteria.

[0037] Therefore, the present invention opens the bottom end of the sinking part 120 of the water level switch area 110 and uses a connecting piece 200 to detachably connect the sinking part 120. On the one hand, it is convenient for users to clean foreign objects such as dust or scale at the sinking part 120 and the connecting piece 200 in time, thereby improving the monitoring and early warning performance of the water level switch for the water level of the chassis, and preventing condensed water from overflowing from the chassis to the ground, causing inconvenience to users; on the other hand, it reduces the breeding of bacteria caused by foreign objects such as dust or scale soaked in water for a long time, thereby improving the user's comfort.

[0038] The detachable connection method may be a snap connection or a threaded connection. Figure 5 The connecting member 200 is a screw cap 210 , and the screw cap 210 is threadedly connected to the submersible part 120 .

[0039] It should be noted that since the contact area between the screw cap 210 and the submersible part 120 by threaded connection is larger than the contact area by snap connection, the screw cap 210 and the submersible part 120 by threaded connection is better than the snap connection by snap connection.

[0040] Therefore, the present invention adopts a screw cap 210 to be threadedly connected with the sinking part 120 to prevent water leakage and improve user comfort.

[0041] The inner wall surface or the outer wall surface of the submersible part 120 can be provided with threads. Since the inner surface of the submersible part 120 is provided with threads, foreign matter such as dust or scale may adhere to the threads, making it inconvenient to clean the submersible part 120 and affecting the threaded connection between the screw cover 210 and the submersible part 120.

[0042] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 6 The screw cap 210 is provided with an internal thread 211 , and the outer wall surface of the submersible part 120 is provided with an external thread 121 , and the external thread 121 cooperates with the internal thread 211 .

[0043] Therefore, the present invention adopts the method of setting an external thread 121 on the submersible part 120 to accommodate the outer wall surface of the submersible part 120 in the screw cap 210, which can prevent water leakage on the one hand and facilitate the smoothness of the threaded connection between the screw cap 210 and the submersible part 120 on the other hand.

[0044] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 5 When the rotary cover 210 and the submersible part 120 are assembled, the upper end surface of the rotary cover 210 contacts the lower surface of the bottom plate body 100 .

[0045] Therefore, the present invention can facilitate the user to disassemble the rotary cover 210 and make sure that the rotary cover 210 and the sinking part 120 are properly assembled after cleaning dust and other foreign matter, by keeping the upper end surface of the rotary cover 210 in contact with the lower surface of the base body 100 when the rotary cover 210 and the sinking part 120 are assembled, thereby preventing water leakage.

[0046] Preferably, a sealing member (not shown in the figure) is disposed in the rotary cover 210 , and one side of the sealing member contacts the bottom end of the submersible part 120 .

[0047] Therefore, the present invention provides a sealing member in the screw cap 210. After the screw cap 210 and the submersible part 120 are tightened, the sealing member is squeezed to block the assembly gap at the end of the thread, thereby further preventing water leakage.

[0048] Preferably, see Appendix Figure 6 The rotary cover 210 is provided with a waterproof groove 212 , and the sealing member is provided in the waterproof groove 212 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the depth of the waterproof groove 212 is 1.5 to 2 times the pitch of the internal thread 211 .

[0050] Therefore, the present invention provides a waterproof groove 212 for accommodating the sealing member in the rotary cover 210 to prevent the sealing member from falling off.

[0051] Preferably, the sealing element is a rubber ring.

[0052] In this embodiment, the thickness of the rubber ring is greater than or equal to one thread height of the internal thread 211 .

[0053] Preferably, the fitting clearance between the internal thread 211 and the external thread 121 is between 0.1 mm and 0.15 mm.

[0054] Therefore, the present invention prevents water leakage by limiting the thread matching clearance to be close to zero.

[0055] Preferably, the hardness of the base plate body 100 is smaller than the hardness of the rotary cover 210 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the material of the base plate body 100 is PP material, and the material of the screw cap 210 is ABS or HIPS material. PP material is relatively soft, and ABS or HIPS material is relatively hard. During the assembly process of the screw cap 210 and the sinking part 120, the screw cap 210 squeezes the outer wall surface of the sinking part to reduce the thread fitting clearance and prevent water leakage.

[0057] Therefore, the present invention adopts a bottom plate body 100 with a hardness smaller than that of the screw cap 210, so that during the assembly process of the screw cap 210 and the sinker 120, the screw cap 210 continuously squeezes the outer wall surface of the sinker 120, thereby reducing the fitting clearance between the threads and further preventing water leakage.

[0058] The outer wall surface of the rotary cover 210 is provided with an anti-slip structure. Figure 1 , the anti-skid structure is an anti-skid groove 213.

[0059] Therefore, the present invention provides an anti-slip structure on the outer wall surface of the rotary cover 210 to facilitate the user to tighten the rotary cover 210 and prevent water leakage.

[0060] Preferably, the outer wall surface of the rotary cover 210 is a frosted surface.

[0061] Therefore, the present invention increases the friction coefficient of the rotary cover 210 and the friction force by setting the outer wall surface of the rotary cover 210 as a frosted surface, thereby achieving an anti-slip effect, making it easier for users to tighten the rotary cover 210 and prevent water leakage.

[0062] A second aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising the air conditioner chassis structure 10 described above.
