Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of range hoods, and in particular to a collection device for collecting condensed water and an air-conditioning range hood. Background Art

[0002] In the hot summer, cooks often feel scorching heat and sweat profusely while cooking in the kitchen. Therefore, the demand for using air conditioners in the kitchen is becoming more and more urgent.

[0003] However, installing an independent air conditioner is not only expensive, but also cumbersome to install pipes, especially for families who have already moved in, because it requires destroying the decoration to install it. Therefore, the use of independent air conditioners is hindered. In this case, air-conditioned range hoods that integrate range hoods and air conditioning functions came into being.

[0004] The cooling and heating in the existing air-conditioning range hoods are similar to those of ordinary air conditioners and are also achieved through heat exchangers. The heat exchangers are prone to produce condensed water during the heat exchange process. The condensed water can be collected by a suspended collection device. However, since the air-conditioning range hood will shake during transportation, the water collection device will shake and its fixing point will become loose, making it impossible to reliably and stably set the water collection device on the air-conditioning range hood. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a collection device for collecting condensed water and an air-conditioning range hood, which can enable the water collecting device to be reliably and stably set on the air-conditioning range hood, in order to solve the problem that the water collecting device cannot be reliably and stably set on the air-conditioning range hood due to the shaking of the air-conditioning range hood during transportation.

[0006] The present application provides a collecting device for collecting condensed water, which is used to collect condensed water generated by a heat exchanger of an air-conditioning range hood. The collecting device for collecting condensed water includes a guide member and a water collecting member;

[0007] The guide member has a water receiving end and a drainage end. The guide member can receive condensed water generated by the heat exchanger at the water receiving end and guide the condensed water to the drainage end for discharge.

[0008] The water collecting part has a water collecting end and a water collecting cavity, the water collecting end is used to collect condensed water from the drainage end, and the water collecting cavity is used to store the condensed water from the water collecting end;

[0009] At least one of the drainage end and the water collection end is provided with a flange, and the drainage end and the water collection end are butted against each other at the flange.

[0010] In one embodiment, the drainage end has a drainage outlet, the water collection end has a water collection outlet, and the flange is arranged around the drainage outlet or the water collection outlet.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, the flange is integrally arranged around the drain outlet or the water collection outlet.

[0012] In one embodiment, the water collecting end and the drainage end both have flanges, the guide member further comprises a guide portion connecting the water receiving end and the drainage end, the water collecting member comprises a water collecting portion having a water collecting cavity, and the water collecting portion is connected to the drainage end;

[0013] The flange of the water collecting end is fitted with the guide part, and the flange of the drainage end is fitted with the water collecting part.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the collecting device further comprises a connecting member, which connects the guiding member and the water collecting member at the flange.

[0015] In one embodiment, the guide member further comprises a guide portion connecting the water receiving end and the drainage end, and the inner side of the guide portion comprises an inclined surface inclined from the water receiving end toward the drainage end.

[0016] In one of the embodiments, the water collecting member is provided with a water outlet, which is communicated with the water collecting chamber, and the water outlet can discharge the condensed water to the outside of the collecting device.

[0017] In one embodiment, the water outlet includes a first water outlet and a second water outlet, the first water outlet is arranged closer to the collecting end than the second water outlet, the first water outlet can be connected to the oil cup of the air-conditioning range hood, and the second water outlet can be connected to the water circulation device of the air-conditioning range hood.

[0018] In another aspect of the present application, an air-conditioning range hood is provided, comprising the above-mentioned collecting device for collecting condensed water and the heat exchanger.

[0019] In one of the embodiments, the guide member covers the heat exchanger toward an orthographic projection of the heat exchanger.

[0020] In one embodiment, the air-conditioned range hood includes a range hood suction device and an air-conditioning device. The range hood suction device includes a top plate. The air-conditioning device is disposed on the top plate. The top plate can serve as a guide.

[0021] The above-mentioned collecting device for collecting condensed water and air-conditioning range hood can increase the contact area between the drainage end and the water collecting end by arranging a flange at the drainage end of the guide member or the water collecting end of the water collecting member, so as to reduce the influence of the shaking of the air-conditioning range hood on the water collecting member and avoid loosening of the fixing point, so that the water collecting member can be stably and reliably arranged on the air-conditioning range hood, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air-conditioning range hood.

[0022] In addition, since the condensed water needs to pass through the drainage end to the water collection end, if the fixing point of the water collection part is loose, it is possible that a gap will be formed between the drainage end and the water collection end, and there is a situation where the condensed water diffuses from the gap to the outside of the water collection part, thereby interfering with the normal operation of other electronic components or even damaging them. However, the collection device of the present application can increase the contact area between the drainage end and the water collection end due to the setting of the flange, thereby extending the diffusion path of the condensed water, making it difficult for the condensed water to diffuse to the outside of the water collection part, thereby avoiding interference or damage to other electronic components by the condensed water.

[0038] Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram shows a partial structure of an air-conditioning range hood in an embodiment of the present application. For ease of description, the accompanying drawings only show structures related to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0039] Referring to the drawings, an embodiment of the present application provides a collection device 100 for collecting condensed water, including a guide 10 and a water collecting member 20. The collection device 100 for collecting condensed water of the present application is applied to an air-conditioning range hood, specifically, to collect condensed water generated by a heat exchanger of the air-conditioning range hood. It can be understood that the heat exchanger is a commonly used component of air conditioners and is well known to those skilled in the art, and specifically may include a condenser 210 or an evaporator 220, which is not limited here.

[0040] The guide member 10 has a water receiving end 11 and a drainage end 12. The guide member 10 can receive condensed water generated from the heat exchanger at the water receiving end 11 and guide the condensed water to the drainage end 12 for discharge. The water collecting member 20 has a water collecting end 21 and a water collecting chamber 22. The water collecting end 21 is used to collect condensed water from the drainage end 12, and the water collecting chamber 22 is used to store condensed water from the water collecting end 21. Specifically, the guide member 10 also includes a guide portion 13 connecting the water receiving end 11 and the drainage end 12. The water collecting member 20 also includes a water collecting portion 23 connected to the water collecting end 21, and the water collecting portion 23 has a water collecting chamber 22. More specifically, the water collecting portion 23 can be in a rectangular shape. In its embodiment, it can also be in other shapes, such as cylindrical or spherical, etc., which are not limited here.

[0041] At least one of the drainage end 12 and the water collecting end 21 is provided with a flange, and the drainage end 12 and the water collecting end 21 are butted against each other at the flange.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, both the drainage end 12 and the water collection end 21 have flanges. In order to simplify the description and explanation, the flange of the drainage end 12 is named as the first flange 121, and the flange of the water collection end 21 is named as the second flange 211.

[0043] The collecting device 100 for collecting condensed water of the present application can increase the contact area between the drainage end 12 and the water collecting end 21 by setting a flange at the drainage end 12 of the guide member 10 or the water collecting end 21 of the water collecting member 20, so as to reduce the influence of the shaking of the air-conditioning range hood on the water collecting member 20 and avoid loosening of the fixing point, so that the water collecting member 20 can be stably and reliably set on the air-conditioning range hood, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air-conditioning range hood.

[0044] In addition, since the condensed water needs to pass through the drainage end 12 to the water collection end 21, if the fixing point of the water collection part 20 is loose, it is possible that a gap will be formed between the drainage end 12 and the water collection end 21, and there is a situation where the condensed water diffuses from the gap to the outside of the water collection part 20, thereby interfering with the normal operation of other electronic components or even damaging them. However, the collection device 100 of the present application can increase the contact area between the drainage end 12 and the water collection end 21 due to the setting of the flange, thereby extending the diffusion path of the condensed water, making it difficult for the condensed water to diffuse to the outside of the water collection part 20, thereby avoiding interference or damage to other electronic components by the condensed water.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner side of the guide portion 13 has an inclined surface 131 inclined from the water receiving end 11 to the drainage end 12. In this way, the condensed water can be guided by the inclined surface 131 and smoothly flow from the water receiving end 11 to the drainage end 12. Specifically, the water receiving end 11 is located above the drainage end 12 in the vertical direction.

[0046] Furthermore, the inclined surface 131 is arranged in an annular shape to form an annular drain port 122 and an annular water collection port 212 at the water receiving end 11. Specifically, the guide member 10 is in a funnel shape. The annular inclined surface 131 has a wider collection range, thereby improving the collection performance of the collection device.

[0047] Please refer again Figure 2 In some embodiments, the flange is arranged around the drain port 122 or the water collecting port 212. In this way, when the drain end 12 and the water collecting end 21 are butted at the flange, the water collecting end 21 can be limited to the drain end 12 along the radial direction of the drain port 122 or the water collecting port 212, which can limit the water collecting member 20 from being affected by the shaking of the air conditioner range hood, and further make the water collecting member 20 stably and reliably arranged on the air conditioner range hood.

[0048] Specifically in the embodiment of the present application, the flange is arranged as a whole around the drain port 122 or the water collecting port 212. That is, the flange is arranged in a ring shape. In other embodiments, the flange may also include a plurality of sub-flanges, and the plurality of sub-flanges surround the drain port 122 or the water collecting port 212 and are arranged at intervals from each other. The method of arranging the flange as a whole around the drain port 122 or the water collecting port 212 can make the radial limit of the water collecting end 21 more reliable.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the water collecting end 21 and the drainage end 12 both have flanges, the second flange 211 of the water collecting end 21 is fitted with the guide portion 13, and the first flange 121 of the drainage end 12 is fitted with the water collecting portion 23. In this way, the contact area between the water collecting end 21 and the drainage end 12 is further increased, the reliability and stability of the water collecting member 20 is further improved, and the diffusion path of the condensed water is further extended, preventing the condensed water from flowing to the outside of the water collecting member 20.

[0050] Specifically, the first flange 121 of the drainage end 12 extends along the inner wall or outer wall of the water collecting portion 23 in a direction away from the guide portion 13. In the embodiment of the present application, the first flange 121 extends vertically downward. The second flange 211 of the water collecting end 21 extends along the inner wall or outer wall of the guide portion 13 in a direction away from the water collecting portion 23. Specifically in the embodiment of the present application, the second flange 211 extends in a horizontal direction.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the water collecting portion 23 is sleeved on the outside of the drainage end 12. Specifically, the first flange 121 of the drainage end 12 fits with the inner wall of the water collecting portion 23, and the second flange 211 of the water collecting end 21 fits with the outer wall of the guide portion 13. The way that the water collecting portion 23 is sleeved on the outside of the drainage end 12 makes it more convenient to install the water collecting member 20 relative to the guide member 10.

[0052] In some embodiments, the collecting device 100 further comprises a connector, which connects the guide member 10 and the water collecting member at the flange. On the one hand, the flange provides a larger position for the connector to connect, and on the other hand, the contact at the flange is tighter, and the sealing and connection reliability are better.

[0053] Specifically, the connecting piece includes a threaded connecting piece, and the flange is provided with a threaded hole 2111 that is matched with the threaded connecting piece. More specifically, the threaded hole 2111 is provided on the second flange 211.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting member includes a plurality of connecting members, and the plurality of connecting members are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the flange. When the flange is arranged in an annular shape, the extending direction of the flange refers to its circumferential direction.

[0055] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the water collecting member 20 is provided with a water outlet 24, which is in communication with the water collecting chamber 22, and the water outlet 24 can discharge the condensed water to the outside of the collecting device 100. In this way, when the water in the water collecting chamber 22 is large or full, the condensed water can be discharged in time through the water outlet 24 to avoid leakage.

[0056] Specifically, the water outlet 24 includes a first water outlet 241 and a second water outlet 242. The first water outlet 241 is arranged closer to the collecting end 21 than the second water outlet 242. The first water outlet 241 can be connected to the oil cup of the air-conditioning range hood, and the second water outlet 242 can be connected to the water circulation device of the air-conditioning range hood. In this way, the condensed water discharged from the first water outlet 241 can be poured out together with the oil separated from the oil fume, and the condensed water from the second water outlet 242 can be recycled. Specifically, the water circulation device is a water pump.

[0057] Furthermore, the first water outlet 241 and the second water outlet 242 are both provided with an interface portion 25 protruding from the outside of the water collecting portion 23, and the interface portion 25 can be connected to one end of a pipe, and the other end of the pipe is connected to an oil cup or a water circulation device.

[0058] Based on the same inventive concept, the present application also provides an air-conditioning range hood, comprising the above-mentioned collection device 100 for collecting condensed water and a heat exchanger.

[0059] In some embodiments, the guide member 10 is arranged on the heat exchanger toward the orthographic projection of the heat exchanger, so that the condensed water flowing down from each part of the heat exchanger can be collected.

[0060] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the air-conditioning range hood includes a range hood device and an air-conditioning device 230. The air-conditioning device 230 includes a heat exchanger. The range hood device includes a top plate. The air-conditioning device 230 is arranged on the top plate of the range hood device. The guide member 10 can be used as part of the top plate. In this way, the number of parts of the air-conditioning range hood can be reduced and space can be saved.

[0061] The collecting device 100 for collecting condensed water and the air-conditioning range hood provided in the embodiment of the present application have the following beneficial effects:

[0062] By providing a flange at the drainage end 12 of the guide member 10 or the water collecting end 21 of the water collecting member 20, the contact area between the drainage end 12 and the water collecting end 21 can be increased, thereby reducing the impact of the shaking of the air-conditioning range hood on the water collecting member 20 and avoiding loosening of the fixing point, so that the water collecting member 20 can be stably and reliably set on the air-conditioning range hood, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the air-conditioning range hood.

[0063] In addition, since the condensed water needs to pass through the drainage end 12 to the water collection end 21, if the fixing point of the water collection part 20 is loose, it is possible that a gap will be formed between the drainage end 12 and the water collection end 21, and there is a situation where the condensed water diffuses from the gap to the outside of the water collection part 20, thereby interfering with the normal operation of other electronic components or even damaging them. However, the collection device 100 of the present application can increase the contact area between the drainage end 12 and the water collection end 21 due to the setting of the flange, thereby extending the diffusion path of the condensed water, making it difficult for the condensed water to diffuse to the outside of the water collection part 20, thereby avoiding interference or damage to other electronic components by the condensed water.

[0064] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0065] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
