Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for discharging and treating air - conditioning condensed water in a cabin, belonging to the technical field of ship design. Background Art

[0002] Currently, on ships using independent split - type air conditioners, there are usually two different methods for treating air - conditioning condensed water. The first is to directly connect a pipe to discharge it to the open - air deck outdoors, causing the deck area to be damp all year round and the deck to be easily corroded, which has an adverse impact on hull maintenance and the walking safety of crew members; the other is to separately connect individual pipelines and finally converge them to discharge through the ship's side. An independent system will inevitably increase the weight of the pipelines and the hull. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this problem, the present invention aims to make a special design for the discharge of air - conditioning condensed water in the cabin. The air - conditioning condensed water is discharged to the condensate discharge pipe inside the cabin inner panel of the room, and is connected to the air - conditioning condensate discharge cabin in the engine room through a drainage pipeline for use in the cabin sanitary water system, so as to achieve the purpose of turning waste into treasure.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] A device for discharging and treating air - conditioning condensed water in a cabin. There is a drain opening at the bottom between the outer wall 2 of the cabin on the Nth floor and the inner panel 3 of the cabin. The drain opening is communicated with the condensate discharge pipe 9 leading to the cabin on the (N - 1)th floor; the inner - machine condensate discharge pipes 4 of the air - conditioners inside each cabin pass through the deck of this layer and converge to the condensate discharge main pipe 11 located between the ceiling 1 of the cabin on the Nth floor and the deck on the (N - 1)th floor. The condensate discharge main pipe 11 is laterally connected and communicated with the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the cabin on the (N - 1)th floor; the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the cabin on the (N - 1)th floor passes through the deck of this layer and is laterally connected and communicated with the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the cabin on the (N - 2)th floor; the condensate discharge pipe 9 at the bottommost layer converges all the condensed water to the condensate discharge collection cabin.

[0006] Preferably, a water - retaining device 5 is provided on one side close to the inner panel 3 of the cabin between the outer wall 2 of the cabin and the inner panel 3 of the cabin.

[0007] Preferably, N is greater than or equal to 3.

[0008] Preferably, the condensate discharge main pipe 11 is horizontally arranged.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0010] 1) The condensed water does not need to be directly discharged to the open - air deck, avoiding the problems of local corrosion of the deck or a decrease in the cleanliness of the deck. At the same time, it is beneficial to the maintenance of the hull surface; furthermore, it avoids the problem that crew members are prone to slip when walking and potential safety hazards.

[0011] 2) It avoids the direct discharge of air-conditioning condensate, which would cause rust on the outer plate running vertically downward from the drain port, thus improving the overall aesthetics of the hull.

[0012] 3) The air conditioning condensate is discharged to the condensate discharge pipe inside the room sub-board, and connected to the cabin air conditioning condensate discharge tank through the existing cabin drain pipe, and used in the cabin sanitary water system to achieve the purpose of turning waste into treasure.

[0013] 4) The air conditioning condensate pipe and the room cabin condensate pipe are combined into one system; the combined air conditioning condensate discharge pipes are connected across layers and aggregated, which is an ingenious design.

[0014] 5) It can effectively prevent the blockage of condensate tank or water leakage outlet in any layer of cabin, which may cause room overflow and the failure of air-conditioning indoor unit due to untimely discharge of condensate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Comparative Example:

[0022] See also Figure 1 - Figure 2 Since the air-conditioning condensate is discharged directly onto the open deck, local corrosion will inevitably cause the deck cleanliness to decrease, which is not conducive to the maintenance of the hull surface; at the same time, the crew is prone to slipping when walking, which poses a safety hazard; in addition, the direct discharge of air-conditioning condensate will cause rust marks on the outer plate that run vertically downward from the drain outlet. If there are too many such outlets, it will inevitably affect the overall appearance of the hull.

[0023] Embodiment 1:

[0024] Regarding the disadvantages mentioned in the comparative example, in the present invention, the air-conditioning condensate is discharged into the inner compartment condensate discharge pipe inside the room inner panel of the cabin, and is connected to the engine room air-conditioning condensate discharge cabin through the existing compartment drain pipe for the compartment sanitary water system. This method not only avoids the occurrence of the above situation, but also achieves the purpose of turning waste into treasure.

[0025] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 - Figure 4 , a device for discharging and treating the condensate of a cabin air conditioner. A drain port is provided at the bottom between the outer wall 2 of the cabin and the room inner panel 3 of the cabin. The drain port is communicated with the condensate discharge pipe 9 leading to the cabin on the (N - 1)th layer; the inner machine condensate discharge pipe 4 of the air conditioner indoor unit in each cabin passes through the deck of this layer and converges to the condensate discharge main pipe 11 located between the deck of the Nth layer and the ceiling 1 of the cabin on the (N - 1)th layer. The condensate discharge main pipe 11 is laterally connected and communicated with the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the cabin on the (N - 1)th layer; the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the cabin on the (N - 1)th layer passes through the deck of this layer and is laterally connected and communicated with the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the (N - 2)th layer; the condensate discharge pipe 9 of the bottommost layer converges all the condensate to the condensate discharge collection cabin.

[0026] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , a water retaining device 5 is provided on one side close to the room inner panel 3 between the outer wall 2 of the cabin and the room inner panel 3 of the cabin.

[0027] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , as a preferred solution, N is greater than or equal to 3. Of course, it can also be equal to 2, which can be determined according to the specific number of layers of the cabin.

[0028] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the condensate discharge main pipe 11 is arranged horizontally.

[0029] In the room with a split air conditioner, during the cooling operation of the air conditioner, a large amount of condensate will be precipitated according to different air humidities. By connecting to the condensate drain pipe of the room compartment through a pipeline, the condensate is effectively discharged to the engine room collection cabin. Since these water sources are all oil-free clean fresh water, they can be used for flushing the toilet or urinal in the room toilet, which can not only ensure the cleanliness and smoothness of the sanitary water system, but also ensure that the system equipment and pipelines are free from rust.

[0030] The condensate and air-conditioning condensate discharge main pipe of this layer is connected across layers to the condensate and air-conditioning condensate discharge main pipe of the next layer, and the connection point is below the deck of the next layer (see attached Figure 4 ), which can effectively prevent the occurrence of room water overflow caused by the blockage of the condensate tank or water leakage port on any layer of the cabin and the failure of the air conditioner indoor unit caused by the untimely discharge of condensate.

[0031] The present invention combines the air-conditioning condensate pipe and the condensate pipe of the room compartment into one system; the combined air-conditioning condensate drain pipe is connected across floors for aggregation. This reduces the pipeline layout, facilitating the cleaning of the hull deck surface; it reduces the occurrence of water overflow in the room caused by the blockage of the compartment condensate tank or the water leakage port and the failure of the air-conditioning indoor unit due to untimely discharge of condensate. The "useless" air-conditioning condensate is used as the sanitary water for the compartment, turning waste into treasure.

[0032] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can also make various transformations or improvements based on this. Without departing from the general concept of the present invention, these transformations or improvements should fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
