Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water receiving tools, in particular to a water receiving structure. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of some equipment, condensation water or leakage water is easily generated. Therefore, it is usually necessary to adopt a water receiving structure to receive this part of condensation water or leakage water to prevent water from affecting the operation of the equipment.

[0003] For example, in air-conditioning equipment, the evaporator produces condensed water during operation, and the air conditioner is generally designed with a water receiving pan to collect the condensed water.

[0004] The drain pan is usually used in a horizontal environment. However, when the air-conditioning equipment is used in vehicles such as ships and airplanes, there is often a large shaking or tilting, which makes it difficult for water to fall smoothly into the drain pan or the water in the drain pan overflows to the outside of the drain pan, destroying the working conditions of the condenser, thereby affecting the normal operation of the air-conditioning equipment or causing trouble to the user. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a water receiving structure to solve the problem that the water receiving structure in the prior art has poor water receiving effect when used in an environment with large shaking or easy tilting.

[0012] Furthermore, the water receiving structure includes an anti-backflow component, which is arranged in the water flow channel so that water enters the water storage chamber through the anti-backflow component and prevents the water in the water storage chamber from flowing out through the water flow channel through the anti-backflow component.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The present invention provides a water receiving structure, comprising: a mounting seat 1, the mounting seat 1 is used to connect with an external supporting base; a water receiving container 2, the water receiving container 2 is installed on the mounting seat 1, and the water receiving container 2 is slidably arranged relative to the mounting seat 1.

[0029] The water receiving structure of the present invention comprises: a mounting base 1, which is used to connect to an external support base; and a water receiving container 2, which is mounted on the mounting base 1 and is slidably arranged relative to the mounting base 1. By adopting this structural design, when the support base shakes or tilts, the water receiving container 2 can slide relative to the mounting base 1 under the action of the shaking or gravity, thereby changing the position of the water receiving container 2, so that the position of the water receiving container 2 can change with the direction of water falling, thereby achieving a better water receiving effect. Moreover, since the water receiving container 2 moves synchronously with the shaking or tilting of the environment, it can effectively prevent the water in the water receiving container 2 from overflowing, thereby solving the problem of poor water receiving effect of the water receiving structure in the prior art when used in an environment with large shaking or easy tilting.

[0030] When the environment in which the water receiving structure is installed shakes or tilts as a whole, the falling water flow or water droplets will also tilt. By allowing the water receiving container 2 to move freely relative to the mounting base 1 under the action of shaking or gravity, the water receiving container 2 can better adapt to the trajectory of falling water and improve the water receiving effect.

[0031] Moreover, by adopting such a movably arranged water receiving structure of the water receiving container 2, the requirement on the size of the water receiving container 2 can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0032] In this embodiment, the water receiving container 2 has a drain port 21 , so that the water in the water receiving container 2 can be drained through the drain port 21 , thereby reducing the risk of water in the water receiving container 2 spilling.

[0033] Specifically, the water collection structure includes a transition piece 3, with the mounting base 1 and the water collection container 2 both slidingly engaged with the transition piece 3; the transition piece 3 is slidably disposed relative to the mounting base 1 along a first direction, and the water collection container 2 is slidably disposed relative to the transition piece 3 along a second direction; the first direction and the second direction are different. In other words, the first direction and the second direction are disposed at a certain angle, which can be any angle greater than 0° and less than 180°. Thus, because the first direction and the second direction are different, the water collection container 2 can move freely within the plane containing the first and second directions, thereby effectively improving the flexibility of water collection and, in turn, the water collection effect. When the water collection container 2 is placed horizontally, the first and second directions are both parallel to the horizontal plane. Preferably, in order to increase the flexibility of the movement of the water collection container 2, thereby improving the water collection effect and the overflow prevention effect, in this embodiment, the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other.

[0034] The transition piece 3 serves as a transitional connection, indirectly connecting the mounting base 1 and the water receiving container 2. The transition piece 3 is slidably disposed relative to the mounting base 1 in a first direction, and the water receiving container 2 is slidably disposed relative to the transition piece 3 in a second direction. This allows the water receiving container 2 to be movable relative to the mounting base 1 in both the first and second directions. In practice, the structure and form of the transition piece 3 may vary, as long as it can achieve a sliding fit and connection between the mounting base 1 and the water receiving container 2.

[0035] For example, in this embodiment, a first rolling member 100 is installed between the mounting seat 1 and the transition connecting member 3; a first guide groove extending along a first direction is provided on the mounting seat 1 and / or the transition connecting member 3, and the first rolling member 100 is rollably arranged along the first guide groove; a second rolling member 200 is installed between the water receiving container 2 and the transition connecting member 3; a second guide groove extending along a second direction is provided on the water receiving container 2 and / or the transition connecting member 3, and the second rolling member 200 is rollably arranged along the second guide groove.

[0036] A first stopper is provided at both ends of the first guide groove, and a second stopper is provided at both ends of the second guide groove, so as to limit the movement range of the transition connector 3 and the water receiving container 2 by the first stopper and the second stopper, thereby allowing the water receiving container 2 to move within a predetermined range.

[0037] Specifically, the first rolling element 100 and the second rolling element 200 are balls or rollers.

[0038] Specifically, there are multiple transition connectors 3, and the multiple transition connectors 3 are arranged at intervals along the first direction.

[0039] Specifically, the water receiving structure includes a first flow guide member 4, which is installed on the water receiving container 2. A first flow guide surface 41 is provided on the side of the first flow guide member 4 away from the water receiving container 2; a water storage cavity is formed between the water receiving container 2 and the first flow guide member 4, and a water flow channel 42 is provided on the first flow guide member 4, which extends to the water storage cavity.

[0040] By setting the first guide member 4, the water droplets or water flow in the lower path fall on the first guide surface 41 of the first guide member 4, and enter the water storage chamber through the water flow channel 42 to achieve water storage. In this way, the exposed area of water in the water storage chamber of the water receiving structure can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the risk of water flowing out when the water receiving structure is tilted or shaken.

[0041] Specifically, the water receiving structure includes an anti-backflow component 5, which is arranged in the water flow channel 42 so that water enters the water storage chamber through the anti-backflow component 5 and prevents the water in the water storage chamber from flowing out through the water flow channel 42 through the anti-backflow component 5.

[0042] By providing the anti-backflow component 5 , the water in the water storage chamber can be better protected, thereby preventing the water in the water storage chamber from flowing out through the water flow channel 42 .

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to improve the protection effect on the water in the water storage chamber, there are multiple backflow prevention components 5, and the multiple backflow prevention components 5 are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the water flow channel 42.

[0044] Specifically, the backflow prevention component 5 includes: a housing 51 having an installation cavity therein; a water inlet hole 513 and a water outlet hole 514 provided on the housing 51, both of which are in communication with the installation cavity; and a float 52 movably mounted in the installation cavity; wherein the float 52 has a falling position and an ascending position. When the float 52 is in the falling position, the float 52 avoids at least part of the gap between the water inlet hole 513 and the water outlet hole 514; when the float 52 is in the ascending position, the float 52 blocks the water inlet hole 513. During use, if the installation environment of the water receiving structure remains horizontal, the liquid level in the water storage cavity is low, and the float 52 is in the falling position under the action of gravity, ensuring that water can smoothly flow into the water storage cavity through the water flow channel 42. When the installation environment of the water receiving structure shakes or tilts, the liquid level in the water storage chamber will change with the shaking or tilting. When the liquid level rises, the float 52 can be driven to rise to the floating position, thereby blocking the water inlet 513 to prevent water from flowing back.

[0045] In this embodiment, the float 52 is a circular ball float, the water inlet 513 is a circular hole, and the water outlet 514 is a non-circular hole. Thus, when the float is in the downward position, the float cannot block the water outlet 514, thereby ensuring that water can smoothly enter the water storage chamber through the water inlet 513 and the water outlet 514. When the float is in the upward position, the circular shape of the water inlet 513 allows the float to block the water inlet 513, preventing water in the water storage chamber from flowing back. Of course, the float 52 is not limited to a ball float; any shape of the water inlet 513 can be used as long as the shape of the water outlet 514 satisfies the conditions that the float 52 cannot block the shape of the water inlet 513.

[0046] Of course, the backflow prevention component 5 can also adopt other structural designs. For example, a grid or other structure can be used to restrict the movement of the float 52 so that the float 52 cannot contact the water outlet 514 when in the falling position.

[0047] In this embodiment, the housing 51 includes a first segment 511 and a second segment 512 connected to each other, forming a mounting cavity. A water inlet 513 is provided in the first segment 511, and a water outlet 514 is provided in the second segment 512. The inner diameter of the mounting cavity gradually decreases as it approaches the water inlet 513, thereby more effectively sealing the water inlet 513 when the float 52 rises to its upper position.

[0048] Specifically, the water receiving structure includes a second guide member 6, which is arranged on the side of the first guide member 4 away from the mounting seat 1; the second guide member 6 is provided with a second guide surface 61 on the side away from the first guide member 4, and a plurality of through holes 62 are provided on the second guide surface 61.

[0049] In this way, when water falls on the second guide surface 61, the water can flow into the water receiving structure along the nearest through hole 62 on the second guide surface 61 as quickly as possible, reducing the risk of spilling or splashing caused by water remaining on the surface of the water receiving structure.

[0050] Specifically, the first guide member 4 is provided with a first concave structure, and the first guide surface 41 is at least a portion of the surface of the first concave structure; the second guide member 6 is provided with a second concave structure, and the second guide surface 61 is at least a portion of the surface of the second concave structure.

[0051] By providing the first recessed structure and the second recessed structure, the falling water can be better collected and the risk of spillage can be reduced.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0053] The water receiving structure of the present invention comprises: a mounting base 1, which is used to connect to an external support base; and a water receiving container 2, which is mounted on the mounting base 1 and is slidably arranged relative to the mounting base 1. By adopting this structural design, when the support base shakes or tilts, the water receiving container 2 can slide relative to the mounting base 1 under the action of the shaking or gravity, thereby changing the position of the water receiving container 2, so that the position of the water receiving container 2 can change with the direction of water falling, thereby achieving a better water receiving effect. Moreover, since the water receiving container 2 moves synchronously with the shaking or tilting of the environment, it can effectively prevent the water in the water receiving container 2 from overflowing, thereby solving the problem of poor water receiving effect of the water receiving structure in the prior art when used in an environment with large shaking or easy tilting.
