Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a condensate treatment device and an air conditioner comprising the same. Background Art

[0002] At present, all mobile air conditioners on the market are designed with condensate treatment devices. The main treatment method is to collect the condensate produced by the evaporator into the chassis of the mobile unit, and use the water pumping motor to break the condensate into small droplets and spray them onto the condenser. The above treatment method solves the problem of condensate treatment in mobile units to a certain extent, and can maintain the absence of manual drainage for several hours, reducing the frequency of manual drainage.

[0003] However, as the use time increases, the amount of condensed water accumulates and the water pumping method used for condenser evaporation and heat dissipation cannot completely consume the condensed water generated inside, and an external water pipe is still required for drainage. In order to adapt to different use environments, three drainage methods are generally designed:

[0004] 1. Bottom drainage (usually called bottom manual drainage): Suitable for environments with normal humidity. Water is stored in the chassis and atomized, and the condensed water is used to cool the condenser to achieve the purpose of reusing the condensed water. When the water volume reaches the full water protection level or the machine is not used for a long time, the water in the chassis needs to be drained manually. When using it, open the drainage plug or drainage cover at the bottom drainage nozzle, and then connect the drain pipe to drain the water.

[0005] 2. Middle drainage (usually called middle continuous drainage): Suitable for environments with high humidity. Condensed water is directly discharged through the drain outlet of the water collection tray in the middle part to avoid water fullness protection of the chassis, and continuous operation of the machine can be achieved. When in use, the drain plug or drain cover at the middle drain nozzle needs to be opened, and then the drain pipe is connected to achieve drainage.

[0006] 3. Water pump drainage (usually called automatic drainage): It is suitable for environments and conditions where the machine is unattended for a long time or where drainage needs to be directed to a higher place. When in use, the drainage plug or drainage cover at the water pump drain nozzle needs to be opened, and then the drain pipe needs to be connected to achieve drainage.

[0007] To sum up, although the mobile air conditioner is designed with a water-pumping device that can achieve the goal of eliminating the need for drainage for a period of time, and the structure is designed with corresponding drain outlets, when necessary (such as in high temperature environments), an external drain pipe can be used to manually drain the excess water that cannot evaporate inside the machine through an external water pipe. However, the mobile air conditioner is not truly free of drainage, which affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0075] The bottom of the air conditioner 60 is provided with a mounting portion, which is used to cooperate with the connecting portion to mount the condensed water treatment device on the air conditioner 60. The mounting portion includes a positioning hole that cooperates with the positioning column 13 on the water tank 10.

[0076] The air conditioner 60 is provided with an electrical connection socket for plugging with the electrical connection terminal 18 and realizing electrical connection. When the water tank 10 is positioned by the positioning column 13 and installed in place, the electrical connection terminal 18 is plugged with the electrical connection socket, thereby realizing electrical connection between the atomizer 20, the pneumatic device and other power-consuming components and the external power supply. Preferably, the control device can also realize control of the atomizer 20, the pneumatic device and other components through the electrical connection socket and the electrical connection terminal 18.

[0077] Preferably, the air intake grille and / or the exhaust pipe 61 of the air conditioner 60 is provided with a mist exhaust pipe joint mounting structure 63, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second connection structure 521 on the demisting pipe joint 50 is detachably connected to the demisting pipe joint mounting structure 63, and the outlet end of the demisting pipe joint 50 is connected to the air inlet flow channel or the exhaust flow channel of the air conditioner 60.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, an exhaust pipe joint mounting structure 63 is provided on each of the air intake grilles corresponding to the first air duct and the second air duct, so that the exhaust pipe 40 can exhaust mist into the first air duct or exhaust mist into the second air exchange duct.

[0079] like Figure 6As shown, a demisting pipe joint mounting structure 63 is provided on the exhaust pipe 61 of the air conditioner 60. Preferably, the exhaust pipe 61 is connected to the air conditioner 60 through the exhaust pipe joint 611. The demisting pipe joint mounting structure 63 is provided on the exhaust pipe joint 611. A through hole is provided at the demisting pipe joint mounting structure 63 so that the demisting pipe joint 50 is connected to the exhaust pipe 61. Preferably, the demisting pipe joint mounting structure 63 is provided on the exhaust pipe joint 611. A guide pipe 6111 is provided inside the exhaust pipe joint 611.

[0080] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, preferably, a condensate receiving tray 62 is provided at the bottom of the air conditioner 60, and a condensate drain port is provided on the condensate receiving tray 62. A water pumping device is provided on the condensate receiving tray 62 to break up the condensate in the condensate receiving tray 62 into water droplets, and to disperse the water droplets onto the evaporator. The water pumping device includes a motor and a water pumping flywheel 64. The water pumping flywheel 64 is arranged vertically to the horizontal plane and can contact the condensate. The motor drives the water pumping flywheel 64 to rotate to bring up the condensate and disperse it onto the evaporator, so as to consume the condensate. The water pumping device can be used in combination with the condensate treatment device to further increase the processing capacity of the condensate.

[0081] Furthermore, a drain pipe 621 is provided at the drain outlet, the drain pipe 621 is communicated with the inside of the condensed water receiving pan 62, and extends into the water inlet 11 of the water tank 10, so that the water tank 10 is communicated with the condensed water receiving pan 62. Preferably, the drain pipe 621 is provided at the bottom of the condensed water receiving pan 62, so that all the water in the condensed water receiving pan 62 can be discharged into the water tank 10.

[0082] Preferably, a water inlet sealing structure 17 is provided at the water inlet 11 of the water tank 10, and the drain pipe 621 extends into the water inlet 11 to form a sealed contact with the water inlet sealing structure 17 to prevent water leakage.

[0083] According to the communicating vessel principle, the water level in the water tank 10 is consistent with the water level in the condensate receiving pan 62. When a water pumping device is provided, a water level detection device is provided in the water tank 10. In order to ensure the effective operation of the water pumping device, when the water level detection device detects that the water level in the water tank 10 reaches the optimal water level of the water pumping device, the atomizer 20 starts to operate, and when the water level is lower than the optimal water level of the water pumping device, the atomizer 20 stops operating. That is, when there is a lot of condensed water and the water pumping device cannot consume the condensed water in time, the condensed water treatment device starts to operate. When there is less condensed water, the condensed water can be consumed only by the water pumping device, and there is no need to start the condensed water treatment device.

[0084] In this embodiment, the use status of the condensate treatment device includes:

[0085] 1. When the air conditioner 60 is in cooling mode, the mist exhaust pipe joint is connected to the exhaust pipe joint 611, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the water mist generated by the condensed water treatment device is discharged into the exhaust pipe, and the water mist is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe. This not only realizes the consumption of the condensed water generated by the air conditioner 60 (which is more likely to be generated in a humid environment), but also has a certain dehumidification effect on the indoor air.

[0086] 2. When the air conditioner 60 is in cooling mode, the mist exhaust pipe joint 50 is connected to the air intake grille corresponding to the second air duct, such as Fig.10 As shown, the water mist generated by the condensate treatment device is discharged into the second air duct and flows through the second heat exchanger under the action of the second fan. At this time, the second heat exchanger is a condenser, and the low-temperature water mist will have a certain cooling effect on the high-temperature condenser, thereby improving the system energy efficiency, consuming the excess condensate on the chassis, and making effective use of the condensate. The excess mist will be blown to the outdoors through the exhaust of the second air duct.

[0087] 3. When the air conditioner 60 is in the air supply mode, the system stops cooling, the first fan runs to blow air into the room, and the exhaust pipe joint 50 is connected to the air inlet grille corresponding to the first air duct, such as Figure 4 As shown, the water mist generated by the condensate treatment device is discharged into the first air duct and discharged into the room under the action of the first fan, so that the air supply mode adds a humidification function and has a certain cooling effect on the environment. Because no condensate is generated inside the air conditioner 60 in the air supply mode, water can be injected into the water tank 10 through the water injection port for atomization.

[0088] The condensed water treatment device provided by the present invention atomizes the condensed water and then discharges it, so as to consume the condensed water generated during the operation of the air conditioner, so that the condensed water does not need to be manually discharged. In addition, the condensed water treatment device is installed on the air conditioner in a detachable manner, making it more convenient to clean and maintain.

[0089] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are specifically shown and described above. It should be understood that the present disclosure is not limited to the detailed structures, configurations or implementations described herein; on the contrary, the present disclosure is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent configurations included in the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
