[0028] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner with a split drainage structure, which can be easily loaded and unloaded and is relatively independent.

[0029] The technical solution of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an air conditioner with a split drainage structure shown in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The air conditioner with a split drainage structure includes: a back plate side water receiving pan 30, an air outlet side water receiving pan 40, a back plate 20 and a heat exchanger 10. The side where the back plate 20 is located is the back plate 20 side, and the air outlet side water receiving pan 40 is close to the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0032] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 It is a side view of an air conditioner with a split drainage structure shown in an embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that the heat exchanger 10 includes a first condensation surface 102 and a second condensation surface 101. The first condensation surface 102 forms a front slope surface on the air outlet side close to the air conditioner, and the second condensation surface 101 forms a rear slope surface on the side close to the back plate 20. It can be seen that the back plate 20 is connected to one end of the rear slope surface. The back plate side water receiving tray 30 is arranged at the rear end slope bottom end of the rear end slope surface, and this rear end slope bottom end refers to the bottom of the rear end slope surface, so that after the condensed water condenses on the condensation surface, it will flow downward along the slope surface, and the back plate side water receiving tray arranged at the rear end slope bottom end can collect the condensed water well, and the same is true for the front end slope bottom end.

[0033] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 1 is a side view of the installation of the back plate side water receiving tray shown in the embodiment of the present application. The back plate side water receiving tray 30 includes: a back plate mounting structure 302 and a first inner buckle structure 301. The first inner buckle structure 301 is arranged on the inner side of the heat exchanger 10 near the bottom end of the rear end slope, and the back plate mounting structure 302 is connected to the back plate 20.

[0034] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 3 is a structural diagram of a split type drainage structure shown in an embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that a positioning bayonet 3021 and a mounting hole 3022 are provided on the back plate mounting structure 302 .

[0035] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6This is a schematic diagram of the back panel side water receiving tray installed on the back panel 20 shown in the embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that a mounting beam 201 is provided on the back panel 20. When the back panel is mounted on the wall, the plane of the back panel is in a plane perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The mounting beam 201 is arranged to be closer to the horizontal direction relative to the vertical plane of the back panel 20. This facilitates the installation of the back panel mounting structure 302 of the back panel side water receiving tray. The mounting beam 201 includes: a positioning block 2011 and a screw hole. The positioning bayonet 3021 on the back panel mounting structure 302 is matched with the positioning block 2011, and the back panel mounting structure 302 can be directly installed in the accurate position through the positioning block 2011. The mounting hole 3022 is matched with the screw hole, and the back panel mounting structure 302 can be fixed by screws through the mounting hole 3022 and the screw hole. The first inward-buckle structure 301 can be configured as an inward-buckle hook to hook onto a first slot provided on the inner side of the heat exchanger 10 near the bottom of the rear end slope. However, the back plate side water collecting tray in this embodiment has no substantial contact with the inner side of the heat exchanger 10. Only the first inward-buckle structure 301 is buckled into the inner side of the heat exchanger 10 to facilitate comprehensive collection of condensed water on the rear end slope.

[0036] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a side view of the installation of the water receiving pan on the air outlet side shown in the embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that the water receiving pan 40 on the air outlet side is arranged at the bottom end of the front end slope of the front end slope. The water receiving pan 40 on the air outlet side includes: a heat exchanger mounting structure 401 and a second inner buckle structure 402. Through the heat exchanger mounting structure 401 and the second inner buckle structure 402, the water receiving pan 40 on the air outlet side is installed on the front end slope of the heat exchanger 10, and the second inner buckle structure 402 is arranged on the inner side of the heat exchanger 10 near the bottom end of the front end slope, and the heat exchanger mounting structure 401 is connected to one end of the front end slope. The second inner buckle structure 402 is an inner buckle hook, which is clamped and abutted with the second slot arranged on the inner side of the heat exchanger 10 at the bottom end of the front end slope. It can be seen Figure 4 In the figure, the heat exchanger mounting structure 401 is two mounting plates with holes, through which the air outlet side water receiving pan 40 is fixedly connected to the front end slope of the heat exchanger 10. When the front water receiving pan needs to be disassembled, it is only necessary to loosen the connection of the heat exchanger mounting structure 401 and release the hook of the second inner buckle structure 402, and then the air outlet side water receiving pan 40 can be directly removed, which is very convenient.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the back plate side water collecting pan 30 and the air outlet side water collecting pan 40 respectively collect the condensed water on the rear end slope and the front end slope of the heat exchanger 10, and are arranged at the bottom ends of the two slopes of the heat exchanger 10 with simple assembly, which is very convenient for disassembly, reducing the cost of disassembly. The relatively independent structural setting reduces the cost of replacing the water collecting pan.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 It is a structural diagram of the split drainage structure shown in an embodiment of the present application.

[0040] It can be seen that the back plate side water receiving tray 30 is in the shape of a bucket, and a first drainage nozzle 303 is provided at the bottom of the back plate side water receiving tray 30 to discharge the collected condensed water, and the bottom of the back plate side water receiving tray 30 is provided with an inclination angle inclined to the first drainage nozzle 303. At the same time, the shape of the tuyere side water receiving tray 40 is also in the shape of a bucket, and a second drainage nozzle 403 and an inclination angle are also provided at the bottom of the tray. The bucket-shaped water receiving tray can have a larger opening, which can better collect condensed water, and the inclination angle of the bottom of the tray can make the condensed water at the bottom of the tray gather to the drainage nozzle for discharge.

[0041] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a side view of the installation of the air outlet side water receiving pan shown in the embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that the second drain nozzle 403 of the air outlet side water receiving pan 40 is connected to a three-pronged guide tube. The two pipe openings of the three-pronged guide tube are respectively connected to the first drain nozzle 303 and the second drain nozzle 403 to discharge the condensed water collected by the back plate side water receiving pan and the air outlet side water receiving pan. The connection between the pipe opening of the three-pronged guide tube and the drain nozzle is threaded connection. This embodiment is directly plug-in, which is convenient but not as sealed as threaded connection. The bifurcation of the three-pronged guide tube can be disassembled. When disassembling the air outlet side water receiving pan 40 or the back plate side water receiving pan 30 separately, the three-pronged guide tube must be disassembled and disconnected first.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the water tray is designed to be bucket-shaped, and the bottom of the tray is designed with an inclination angle to make the collection of condensed water more efficient. The two water trays are respectively connected with a three-pronged guide pipe to collect and drain the condensed water. This makes the air conditioner with a split drainage structure of the present application easy to disassemble and also has a good condensed water collection ability.

[0043] Regarding the device in the above embodiment, the specific manner in which each module performs operations has been described in detail in the embodiment of the method, and will not be elaborated again here.

Those skilled in the art should also know that the actions and modules involved in the description are not necessarily required for the present application. In addition, it can be understood that the steps in the method of the embodiment of the present application can be adjusted in order, merged and deleted according to actual needs, and the modules in the device of the embodiment of the present application can be merged, divided and deleted according to actual needs.

[0045] The embodiments of the present application have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The selection of terms used herein is intended to best explain the principles of the embodiments, practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons of ordinary skill in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
