The first filter screen 2 is arranged above the drain port 11, at least a part of the first filter screen 2 is located above the drain port 11, so that the condensed water flows through the first filter screen 2 before flowing out from the drain port 11, thereby filtering the impurities in the condensed water, avoiding the accumulation of impurities in the first water receiving tray 1 and thus blocking the drain port 11, ensuring the smooth flow of the condensed water, and solving the problem of the condensed water in the water receiving tray easily overflowing.

[0030] In the water tray assembly of this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 , the first filter screen 2 is detachably mounted on the first water receiving tray 1; and / or the outer peripheral surface of the first filter screen 2 is in contact with the inner surface of the first water receiving tray 1 to separate the cavity of the first water receiving tray 1 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity that are independent of each other.

[0031] In the water receiving tray assembly of the present embodiment, the first filter screen 2 is detachably mounted on the first water receiving tray 1. In this way, it is convenient for the user to disassemble and clean the first filter screen 2, thereby ensuring the filtering performance of the first filter screen 2 and improving the service life. The outer peripheral surface of the first filter screen 2 is in contact with the inner surface of the first water receiving tray 1 to separate the cavity of the first water receiving tray 1 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity that are independent of each other. In this way, the upper cavity and the lower cavity are separated, and the impurities in the condensed water are retained in the upper cavity, thereby achieving the effect of separating the condensed water from the impurities.

[0032] In the water tray assembly of this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The first water receiving tray 1 is provided with a first installation opening, and the first filter screen 2 is inserted into the first water receiving tray 1 or withdrawn from the first water receiving tray 1 through the first installation opening. Specifically, the first installation opening in this embodiment is provided on the side wall of the first water receiving tray 1, so that when replacing the first filter screen 2, the first water receiving tray 1 does not need to be disassembled, thereby saving manpower.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 3In the water receiving tray assembly of this embodiment, the first filter net 2 includes a filter body 21 and an operating part 22 connected to the filter body 21, so that the filter body 21 is placed in the first water receiving tray 1 by operating the operating part 22.

With the above arrangement, the pull-out operation of the first filter screen 2 is more convenient.

[0035] In the water tray assembly of this embodiment, see Figure 4 The stop plate body 221 is provided with a connection part 23, and the stop plate body 221 is connected to the filter body 21 through the connection part 23; wherein the connection part 23 has a stop flange 231. With the above arrangement, the stop flange 231 plays a limiting role and can cooperate with the installation opening of the first water receiving tray 1, so that the structure of the first filter screen 2 is more stably installed on the first water receiving tray 1, thereby being able to carry more impurities.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 3 In the water receiving tray assembly of the present embodiment, the water receiving tray assembly further includes: a second water receiving tray 3, the second water receiving tray 3 is arranged above the first water receiving tray 1, and a first drainage nozzle 4 is arranged on the second water receiving tray 3, and the drainage port of the first drainage nozzle 4 is arranged toward the first water receiving tray 1, so that the liquid in the second water receiving tray 3 flows into the first water receiving tray 1 through the first drainage nozzle 4. By arranging the second water receiving tray 3, the second water receiving tray 3 collects the condensed water in the air conditioner, and then collects the condensed water into the first water receiving tray 1. Thus, the performance of the water receiving tray assembly is improved.

[0037] In the water tray assembly of this embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 The water receiving tray assembly further includes: a second filter screen, at least part of which is located above the water inlet of the first drain nozzle 4, so as to filter the liquid entering the second water receiving tray 3 through the first filter screen. In this way, the water receiving tray assembly has a better filtering function, and further avoids the problem of impurities causing blockage of the water outlet pipeline.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 3In the water receiving tray assembly of the present embodiment, the water receiving tray assembly further includes: a float, which is arranged in the first water receiving tray 1; a protection switch, which is used to control the alarm device to issue an alarm indication, and the float cooperates with the protection switch, so that when the water level in the first water receiving tray 1 rises to a predetermined height, the float triggers the protection switch, so that the alarm device issues an alarm indication. Specifically, the float is arranged on the first filter 2, so that when the impurities filtered out by the first filter 2 are too much, thereby clogging the filter, the user can be prompted to clean the first filter 2 in time to ensure the performance of the water receiving tray assembly.

[0039] The air conditioner of this embodiment includes a casing 10 and a water receiving tray assembly disposed in the casing 10, and the water receiving tray assembly is the above-mentioned water receiving tray assembly.

[0040] See also Figure 6 In the air conditioner of this embodiment, the casing 10 includes an air inlet panel 20 , and the first water receiving tray 1 of the water receiving tray assembly is installed on the air inlet panel 20 .

[0041] In the air conditioner of this embodiment, see Figure 6 The water receiving tray assembly is the above-mentioned water receiving tray assembly, the air conditioner includes an evaporator component 30, and the second water receiving tray 3 of the water receiving tray assembly is installed on the evaporator component 30.

[0042] In the air conditioner of this embodiment, the water receiving tray assembly is placed horizontally, and is composed of a first water receiving tray 1 , a second water receiving tray 3 , and a first filter 2 . The water receiving tray assembly is installed as a whole below the evaporator component 30 .

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the second water receiving pan 3 is located below the evaporator component 30. When the air conditioner is in operation, the evaporator component 30 will generate a large amount of condensed water, which will drip into the second water receiving pan 3 below. After the condensed water generated in the evaporator component 30 drips into the second water receiving pan 3, it will pass through the first drainage nozzle 4 to the first filter 2. After being filtered, the condensed water flows to the first water receiving pan 1 and is discharged to the outside through the first drainage nozzle 4. In this process, the impurities in the condensed water are retained on the filter after passing through the filter, preventing the impurities from accumulating in the drainage hole and causing poor drainage.

[0045] like Figure 2As shown, the first filter 2 is inserted horizontally above the first water tray 1 when the air conditioner is working. When impurities on the first filter 2 accumulate to a certain extent and need to be cleaned, the user only needs to open the back cover 101 to pull out the first filter 2 from the back of the air conditioner and insert it back after cleaning. It is very convenient.

[0046] In addition, a float device is also provided in the first water receiving tray 1, and the float device includes a float and a protection switch; when the user fails to clean the filter for a long time, causing the filter to be blocked, the water level in the first water receiving tray 1 will rise. After reaching the set height, the float will drive the protection switch and sound an alarm to remind the user that the filter needs to be cleaned in time.

[0047] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0048] The water receiving tray assembly of this embodiment includes: a first water receiving tray 1, a drain port 11 is arranged at the bottom of the first water receiving tray 1; a first filter screen 2, at least a part of the first filter screen 2 is located above the drain port 11, so as to filter the liquid entering the first water receiving tray 1 through the first filter screen 2. With the above arrangement, when condensed water is generated in the air conditioner, the condensed water flows downward inside the air conditioner, falls into the first water receiving tray 1 after being collected, and finally flows out of the air conditioner through the drain port 11 at the bottom of the first water receiving tray 1. The first filter screen 2 is arranged above the drain port 11, at least a part of the first filter screen 2 is located above the drain port 11, so that the condensed water flows through the first filter screen 2 before flowing out from the drain port 11, thereby filtering the impurities in the condensed water, avoiding the accumulation of impurities in the first water receiving tray 1 and thus blocking the drain port 11, ensuring the smooth flow of the condensed water, and solving the problem of the condensed water in the water receiving tray easily overflowing.

[0049] Compared with the conventional water receiving pan assembly, the water receiving pan assembly of the present invention has an additional filter screen covering the bottom surface of the water receiving pan to filter impurities in the condensed water and effectively prevent the drainage port of the water receiving pan assembly from being blocked by impurities.

[0050] Compared with the conventional water receiving tray assembly, the present invention adopts a removable filter screen installed above the bottom surface of the water receiving tray, so that the user can conveniently remove and clean the filter screen after it is dirty and clogged.
