[0048] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0049] The chassis 200 and the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The air conditioner 1000 also includes a water tank 100, which is disposed on the chassis 200. Condensate produced by the evaporator flows to the chassis 200 and then from the chassis 200 to the water tank 100. The condensate stored in the water tank 100 can be used to clean the filter brush of the air conditioner 1000. Of course, the condensate stored in the water tank 100 can also be used for other purposes; the uses of the condensate are not limited here.

[0050] like Figures 8-9 As shown, the chassis 200 of the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a chassis body 210 and guide ribs 220. The water tank 100 is adapted to be disposed on the chassis body 210. The chassis body 210 has a water receiving area 211 facing the water outlet end of the water outlet channel 113. The water receiving area 211 has a water receiving bottom wall 2111 and a water receiving side wall 2112 disposed around the water receiving bottom wall 2111. The guide ribs 220 are disposed in the water receiving area 211 and on the water receiving side wall 2112.

[0051] It can be understood that the water receiving area 211 can be used to receive the condensed water flowing out of the water outlet channel 113 of the water tank 100, the water receiving bottom wall 2111 is used to receive the condensed water, and the water receiving side wall 2112 can block the condensed water to make a part of the condensed water stay in the water receiving area 211. In some specific examples, the water receiving side wall 2112 is provided with an opening, and the condensed water can flow out of the water receiving area 211 from the opening. The water receiving side wall 2112 can also provide support for the guide rib 220.

[0052] When the condensed water flows down from the water outlet channel 113 of the water tank 100, more condensed water flows down along the inner side wall of the water outlet channel 113, the water receiving side wall 2112 is closer to the inner side wall of the water outlet channel 113, and the guide rib 220 arranged on the water receiving side wall 2112 can effectively decompose the flowing condensed water and reduce the formation of water pools on the water receiving bottom wall 2111. The guide rib 220 can also more efficiently guide the flow of the condensed water, the guide rib 220 guiding the flow of the condensed water can reduce the noise caused by the impact of the condensed water on the water pools on the water receiving bottom wall 2111, and the water pools on the water receiving bottom wall 2111 are formed because the condensed water is not discharged in time. Moreover, in the process of the condensed water flowing down along the guide rib 220, the condensed water rubs against the guide rib 220, which can further reduce the speed of the condensed water flowing down, thereby further reducing the noise of the condensed water falling on the water receiving bottom wall 2111.

[0053] In related technologies, the water receiving area on the bottom plate is mostly a smooth plane structure, and after the water in the water tank flows to the water receiving area, water pools are formed in the water receiving area. At this time, the water in the water tank continues to flow down to the water receiving area, and the impact of the flowing water on the water pools will produce noise, affecting the quality of the air conditioner, and users are in a noisy environment for a long time, affecting their health.

[0054] The bottom plate 200 of the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiment of the present application can reduce the formation of water pools on the water receiving bottom wall 2111 by arranging the guide rib 220 on the water receiving side wall 2112 of the water receiving area 211. On the one hand, the guide rib 220 can more efficiently guide the flow of the condensed water, and the guide rib 220 guiding the flow of the condensed water can reduce the noise caused by the impact of the condensed water on the water pools on the water receiving bottom wall 2111. Moreover, in the process of the condensed water flowing down along the guide rib 220, the condensed water rubs against the guide rib 220, which can further reduce the speed of the condensed water flowing down, thereby further reducing the noise of the condensed water falling on the water receiving bottom wall 2111. Thus, the product quality of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and the health of the users can be ensured.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 9The chassis 200 also includes multiple splash guards 230, which are spaced apart on the water-receiving bottom wall 2111. It is understood that the splash guards 230 can be columnar structures protruding from the water-receiving bottom wall 2111. The splash guards 230 can buffer the condensate flowing towards the water-receiving area 211, allowing the condensate to first fall onto the splash guards 230 and then flow from the splash guards 230 to the water-receiving bottom wall 2111, for example, flowing down the splash guards 230 and onto the water-receiving bottom wall 2111. This reduces the noise generated by the impact of condensate with the water pool on the water-receiving bottom wall 2111. The spaced arrangement of multiple splash guards 230 on the water-receiving bottom wall 2111 provides more buffer for the condensate, further reducing the noise generated by the impact of condensate with the water pool on the water-receiving bottom wall 2111.

[0056] Combination Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between any two adjacent splash guards 230 is less than or equal to 4 mm. This can be understood as follows: in the left-right direction, the distance between any two adjacent splash guards 230 is less than or equal to 4 mm; in the front-back direction, the distance between any two adjacent splash guards 230 is less than or equal to 4 mm; or in both the left-right and front-back directions, the distance between any two adjacent splash guards 230 is less than or equal to 4 mm. Based on extensive experiments conducted by the inventors, it is known that most of the condensate droplets flowing from the water outlet channel 113 of the water tank 100 are larger than 4 mm. By making the distance between any two adjacent splash guards 230 less than or equal to 4 mm, the condensate droplets flowing from the water outlet channel 113 of the water tank 100 are buffered by the splash guards 230, thereby reducing the probability of the droplets directly impacting the pool on the bottom wall 2111, and thus reducing noise.

[0057] like Figures 11-12 As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the height of the splash guard 230 can be greater than 2 mm. It is understood that after the bottom wall 2111 receives water for a period of time, a pool of water will form on the bottom wall 2111, and the pool will have a depth. The height of the splash guard 230 being greater than 2 mm allows the height of the splash guard 230 to be greater than the depth of the pool. Thus, when the condensate flows from the water tank 100 to the bottom wall 2111, it can first come into contact with the splash guard 230, and then flow along the splash guard 230 to the pool. This can prevent the condensate from directly contacting the pool and causing impact, thus avoiding noise.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference is made to Figure 8 and Figure 10The bottom plate body 210 is provided with a water storage area 212. The water storage area 212 can be formed as a water tank structure or other structure capable of storing condensed water. The condensed water generated by the evaporator of the air conditioner 1000 can flow into the water storage area 212. In the water storage area 212, the condensed water flows to the water tank 100. When the water tank 100 is full, the condensed water overflows from the water outlet channel 113 and flows to the water receiving area 211. The bottom plate 200 further includes outer water guide ribs 240 spaced apart to define a water passing channel 241. One end of the water passing channel 241 is in communication with the water receiving area 211, and the other end of the water passing channel 241 is in communication with the water storage area 212. Thus, through the water passing channel 241, the condensed water in the water receiving area 211 returns to the water storage area 212, forming a circulating flow of condensed water. The provision of the outer water guide ribs 240 can facilitate the formation of the water passing channel 241 and provide guidance for the condensed water, so that the condensed water can flow along the outer water guide ribs 240, thereby avoiding the problem of the condensed water flowing without direction and colliding with each other to produce sound.

[0059] In some specific examples, in combination with Figure 10 The outer water guide ribs 240 on each side of the water passing channel 241 can be discontinuous, thereby avoiding other structures on the bottom plate 200. The outer water guide ribs 240 can cooperate with other structures to confine the condensed water in the water passing channel 241. When there is no other structure on the bottom plate 200, the outer water guide ribs 240 on each side of the water passing channel 241 can extend continuously.

[0060] As shown in Figure 11 and Figure 13 According to some embodiments of the present application, the height H of the outer water guide ribs 240 is greater than 6 mm, thereby effectively confining the water flow in the water passing channel 241 and as much as possible avoiding the problem of the condensed water overflowing the water passing channel 241 and flowing to other parts of the bottom plate 200, causing the water to enter other components on the bottom plate 200 and damage them.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 8 and Figure 10The chassis 200 further comprises at least one water distribution rib 250, which is located in the water passing channel 241 to divide the water passing channel 241 into a plurality of sub-flow channels 251, each of which is in communication with the water receiving area 211 and the water storage area 212 respectively. It can be understood that the water passing channel 241 defined only by the outer water guide rib 240 is wide, and a plurality of streams of condensed water in the water passing channel 241 can collide with each other to produce noise. Meanwhile, the water flow in the wide water passing channel 241 can appear to be winding and vortex, and bubbles are generated. With the breaking of the bubbles, the sound of "whoosh, whoosh" of the water flow is produced. After the water passing channel 241 is divided into a plurality of sub-flow channels 251, the condensed water can be dispersed, so that the plurality of streams of condensed water can flow down from different sub-flow channels 251 respectively. The water distribution rib 250 can guide the condensed water to flow from the water receiving area 211 to the water storage area 212 along the water distribution rib 250, so that the noise caused by the collision of the plurality of streams of condensed water with each other can be avoided, and the winding and vortex of the plurality of streams of condensed water can also be avoided to generate bubbles.

[0062] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 11 and Figure 13 , the height h of the water distribution rib 250 is 1.5-3 mm, so that the water distribution rib 250 can play a better role in dispersing the water flow.

[0063] As shown in Figure 14 , the air conditioner 1000 according to the embodiments of the present application comprises a chassis 200 and a water tank 100. The chassis 200 is the chassis 200 of the air conditioner 1000 according to the above description. The water tank 100 has a water outlet channel 113, and the water tank 100 is arranged on the chassis 200. The condensed water generated by the evaporator can flow to the chassis 200 and then flow to the water tank 100 from the chassis 200. The condensed water stored in the water tank 100 can be used to clean the filter screen brush of the air conditioner 1000. Of course, the condensed water stored in the water tank 100 can also be used for other purposes, and the use of the condensed water is not limited here.

[0064] According to the air conditioner 1000 of the embodiments of the present application, the guide rib 220 arranged on the water receiving side wall 2112 of the water receiving area 211 can more efficiently guide the condensed water, and the guide rib 220 can reduce the noise caused by the impact of the condensed water on the water pool on the water receiving bottom wall 2111. Moreover, in the process of the condensed water flowing down along the guide rib 220, the condensed water rubs against the guide rib 220, so that the speed of the condensed water flowing down can be reduced, and thus the noise of the condensed water falling on the water receiving bottom wall 2111 can be further reduced. Therefore, the product quality of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and the health of the user can be ensured.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with Figure 12In the height direction of the bottom disc 200, the distance G between the highest point of the guide rib 220 and the lowest point of the water outlet passage 113 is less than 20 mm, so that the drop of the condensed water from the water outlet passage 113 to the guide rib 220 can be reduced, and the speed of the condensed water when reaching the guide rib 220 can be lowered, so that the dripping sound can be effectively avoided. Further, the distance G between the highest point of the guide rib 220 and the lowest point of the water outlet passage 113 is 5-8 mm, so that the drop of the condensed water from the water outlet passage 113 to the guide rib 220 can be further reduced, and the speed of the condensed water when reaching the guide rib 220 can be further lowered, so that the dripping sound can be more effectively avoided.

[0066] As shown in Figures 1-3 The water tank 100 can include a water tank body 110, the water tank body 110 is internally provided with a water storage space 111, the water tank body 110 is externally provided with a water inlet portion 112 which is in communication with the water storage space 111, and the water tank body 110 is further provided with a water outlet passage 113 which is in communication with the water storage space 111, and at least one inner wall of the water outlet passage 113 is provided with a water guide rib 114. Here, the water inlet portion 112 is also in communication with the water storage area 212 of the bottom disc body 210, and the water outlet passage 113 is also in communication with the water receiving area 211 of the bottom disc body 210.

[0067] It can be understood that when the water storage area 212 of the bottom disc 200 has condensed water, the condensed water can be guided to the water inlet portion 112 on the water tank body 110, for example, a water pump can be used to guide the condensed water on the bottom disc 200 to the water inlet portion 112, and the condensed water enters the water storage space 111 through the water inlet portion 112, and the water storage space 111 can store the condensed water, and the condensed water stored in the water storage space 111 can be used to clean the brush of the filter screen of the air conditioner 1000. When the water storage space 111 is full of condensed water, water overflow will occur, specifically, the condensed water can overflow through the water outlet passage 113, and the overflowed condensed water flows to the water receiving area 211.

[0068] Referring to Figure 3The inner wall of the water outlet channel 113 is provided with a water guide rib 114. The water outlet channel 113 can be provided with a plurality of inner walls provided with the water guide rib 114. The water guide rib 114 can be a rib structure protruding from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 113. When the water storage space 111 is filled with water, the condensed water flows out of the water outlet channel 113 along the water guide rib 114 from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 113. Thus, the condensed water can be prevented from flowing directly away from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 113 and colliding with the water receiving area 211 corresponding to the water outlet channel 113, thereby generating noise. Moreover, the condensed water flows along the water guide rib 114 and rubs against the water guide rib 114, thereby slowing down the flow rate. Thus, the noise generated by the condensed water flowing in the water outlet channel 113 and the noise generated by the condensed water colliding with the water receiving area 211 can be reduced. Thus, the product quality of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and the health of the user can be ensured.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5 The inner wall of the water outlet channel 113 is provided with a water guide rib 114. The water outlet channel 113 can be provided with a plurality of inner walls provided with the water guide rib 114. The water guide rib 114 can be a rib structure protruding from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 113. When the water storage space 111 is filled with water, the condensed water flows out of the water outlet channel 113 along the water guide rib 114 from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 113. Thus, the condensed water can be prevented from flowing directly away from the inner wall of the water outlet channel 113 and colliding with the water receiving area 211 corresponding to the water outlet channel 113, thereby generating noise. Moreover, the condensed water flows along the water guide rib 114 and rubs against the water guide rib 114, thereby slowing down the flow rate. Thus, the noise generated by the condensed water flowing in the water outlet channel 113 and the noise generated by the condensed water colliding with the water receiving area 211 can be reduced. Thus, the product quality of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved, and the health of the user can be ensured.

[0070] In combination with Figures 3-5 According to some embodiments of the present application, the water guide rib 114 includes a first guide rib 1141 provided on the top wall of the stop protrusion 11321. The first guide rib 1141 guides the water flow downward. Thus, after the condensed water flows to the stop protrusion 11321, the condensed water can flow to the water outlet end of the water outlet channel 113 along the first guide rib 1141. The first guide rib 1141 can guide the flow of the condensed water, prevent the condensed water from colliding with each other on the stop protrusion 11321 to generate noise, and reduce the flow rate of the condensed water on the stop protrusion 11321, thereby further reducing the noise. The condensed water can also be prevented from accumulating on the top of the stop protrusion 11321.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 3-5As shown, the water outlet passage 113 includes a first passage 1131 and a second passage 1132, the first passage 1131 is located upstream of the second passage 1132 in the flow direction of the water flow, at least one inner wall of the first passage 1131 extends inwardly in the direction towards the second passage 1132, whereby, when the condensed water overflows, the condensed water flows from the water inlet end of the water outlet passage 113 to the first passage 1131, at least part of the condensed water can flow down along the inwardly extending inner wall of the first passage 1131 to the second passage 1132, and then flows out of the water outlet passage 113 from the second passage 1132, here, the inwardly extending inner wall of the first passage 1131 can reduce the drop of at least part of the condensed water, and further reduce the impact force of at least part of the condensed water when impacting the water receiving area 211, and can also reduce the speed of at least part of the condensed water when flowing down, so as to reduce the noise of the condensed water when impacting the water receiving area 211.

[0072] In some specific examples, as Figure 3 As shown, the stop protrusion 11321 can be formed in the second passage 1132, and the inwardly extending inner wall of the first passage 1131 is connected with the inner wall where the stop protrusion 11321 is located, when the condensed water overflows, the condensed water flows from the water inlet end of the water outlet passage 113 to the first passage 1131, at least part of the condensed water can flow down along the inwardly extending inner wall of the first passage 1131 to the second passage 1132, and then falls on the stop protrusion 11321 in the second passage 1132, the condensed water flowing to the stop protrusion 11321 can flow to the water outlet end of the water outlet passage 113 along the first guide rib 1141, here, the part of the water outlet passage 113 between the first guide rib 1141 and the water outlet end of the water outlet passage 113 can be provided with a second guide rib 1142, and the condensed water can flow out of the water outlet passage 113 along the second guide rib 1142, of course, the other walls of the first passage 1131 except the inwardly extending inner wall can also be provided with the second guide rib 1142, and the other walls of the second passage 1132 except the inner wall where the stop protrusion 11321 is located can also be provided with the second guide rib 1142. Any one of the above settings or a combination of multiple settings can reduce the speed of at least part of the condensed water when flowing down, so as to reduce the noise of the condensed water when impacting the water receiving area 211.

[0073] As a possible situation may occur, as Figures 4-5 As shown, the condensed water flows from the water storage space 111 to the water outlet passage 113, when the water overflow is small, the condensed water is concentrated in the part of the water outlet passage 113 close to the water storage space 111, that is Figure 5When there is a large amount of overflow water, the condensed water spreads to the part outside the A area, and spreads to the B area. Thus, when the condensed water overflows from the water storage space 111, the condensed water flows down from the side wall close to the water storage space 111 and the side wall with the stop protruding part 11321 of the water outlet channel 113 in priority. The side wall close to the water storage space 111 and the side wall with the stop protruding part 11321 can be provided with a water guide rib 114.

[0074] In combination Figures 6-7 According to some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of water guide ribs 114 are arranged on each inner wall of the water outlet channel 113. Thus, the water guide function of the water guide ribs 114 can be further enhanced, so that as much condensed water as possible flows down along the water guide ribs 114 instead of directly leaking from the water outlet channel 113. In addition, the friction between the water guide ribs 114 and the water flow can be increased, so that the water flow speed is reduced, thereby reducing the noise caused by the impact of the condensed water on the water receiving area 211.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between adjacent water guide ribs 114 is not greater than 4 mm. Thus, as much condensed water as possible can be guided, while the distance between adjacent water guide ribs 114 is reasonable, so that the noise caused by the collision between multiple streams of condensed water between adjacent water guide ribs 114 can be avoided.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 the first plane F1 where the water inlet end of the water outlet channel 113 is located is lower than the second plane F2 where the water outlet end of the water inlet part 112 is located. It can be understood that the condensed water flows from the water outlet end of the water inlet part 112 to the water storage space 111, and the plane where the water outlet end of the water inlet part 112 is located is the second plane F2, so that the condensed water can flow from the water inlet part 112 to the water storage space 111 when the condensed water overflows the second plane F2. The condensed water flows from the water storage space 111 to the water outlet channel 113, and the plane where the water inlet end of the water outlet channel 113 is located is the first plane F1, so that the condensed water can flow from the water storage space 111 to the water outlet channel 113 when the condensed water overflows the first plane F1. The first plane F1 being lower than the second plane F2 makes the excess condensed water overflow from the water outlet channel 113 when the water storage space 111 is full, and then the water inlet part 112 flows the condensed water into the water storage space 111, so that the overflow of the water storage space 111 can be facilitated, thereby avoiding the situation that the water storage space 111 is full and overflows.

[0077] Further, the height difference between the first plane F1 and the second plane F2 is not less than 3 mm, so that the first plane F1 is low enough relative to the second plane F2, so that the excess condensed water can be smoothly discharged from the water outlet channel 113 when the water storage space 111 is full, thereby avoiding the situation that the water storage space 111 is full and overflows.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the minimum opening cross-sectional area of the water inlet portion 112 is smaller than the opening cross-sectional area of the water outlet passage 113, so that when the water storage space 111 is full, the water outlet amount of the water outlet passage 113 can be greater than the water inlet amount of the water inlet portion 112, and the situation of water overflowing from the water storage space 111 can also be avoided.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 It can be understood that the drain port 115 can be opened or closed. When the water tank body 110 needs to store water, the drain port 115 is closed, and the condensed water is stored in the water storage space 111; when the condensed water in the water storage space 111 is dirty after use, the drain port 115 can be opened to drain the dirty condensed water from the drain port 115.
