DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] As disclosed in the background technology, the valve plate of the existing air-conditioning outdoor unit is usually installed on the right side plate and fixed on the right side flap of the chassis, and the high and low pressure valves are fixed on the valve plate, and the two valve ports of the high and low pressure valves are equipped with connecting pipes. When the air conditioner is in the cooling mode for a long time, a lot of condensed water will accumulate on the surface of the high and low pressure valves and the connecting pipes of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, and this part of the condensed water will flow down vertically along the valve plate. The current valve plate is usually directly connected to the outside of the chassis, that is, the outer side of the valve plate will directly extend to the bottom of the outside of the chassis, and the condensed water on the valve plate will flow down along the outer side of the valve plate until it reaches the lowest end of the air-conditioning shell. Finally, after accumulating too much, it will directly drip under the air-conditioning outdoor unit under the action of gravity, affecting the space below the air-conditioning outdoor unit, which may cause dripping noise, and will cause corrosion to the steel components and other structures below. In addition, the falling water droplets may also drip on the people passing below, causing trouble to passers-by.

[0033] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air-conditioning housing and an air conditioner, which can prevent condensed water on the valve plate from dripping directly. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] First embodiment

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 7 The present embodiment provides an air-conditioning housing 100, which improves the connection structure of the valve plate 150 so that the condensed water on the valve plate 150 flows down to the inside of the chassis 110, and the condensed water is collected through the chassis 110, thereby preventing the condensed water on the valve plate 150 from directly dripping to the bottom of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, thereby solving the problems of noise, corrosion and impact on passers-by caused by the dripping of condensed water.

[0036] The air-conditioning housing 100 provided in this embodiment is suitable for an air-conditioning outdoor unit. The air-conditioning housing 100 includes a chassis 110, an air-conditioning side panel 130 arranged on the chassis 110, and a valve plate 150 arranged on the air-conditioning side panel 130. A water receiving side panel 111 is arranged at the edge of the chassis 110. The valve plate 150 is arranged on the bottom side of the air-conditioning side panel 130. A water receiving groove 170 connected to the inner space of the water receiving side panel 111 is arranged on the upper edge of the water receiving side panel 111. The bottom of the valve plate 150 extends into the water receiving groove 170, and the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends from the water receiving groove 170 to the inner space of the water receiving side panel 111, so that the condensed water on the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 flows from the water receiving groove 170 into the chassis 110.

[0037] In this embodiment, the air-conditioning side panel 130 is the right side panel, which is located at the right edge of the chassis 110, and the water receiving side panel 111 is also located at the right edge of the chassis 110. The air-conditioning housing 100 in this embodiment also includes a left side panel, a front panel, a rear panel and a top cover panel, wherein the left side panel is arranged at the left edge of the chassis 110, and the front panel and the rear panel are relatively arranged at the front and rear side edges of the chassis 110, and wherein the left side panel, the front panel, the right side panel and the rear panel are jointly arranged to form a rectangular enclosure, and the top cover panel is covered on the rectangular enclosure and is respectively connected to the left side panel, the front panel, the right side panel and the rear panel. Regarding other components of the air-conditioning outdoor unit, such as the specific structure of the fan, the electric control box, etc., reference can be made to the existing air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0038] The air conditioner housing 100 provided in this embodiment improves the connection structure between the valve plate 150 and the chassis 110, and the water receiving side plate 111 is integrally arranged on the chassis 110, and the water receiving side plate 111 extends upward, so that the external condensed water can drip or flow down to the chassis 110 after entering the inner side of the water receiving side plate 111, and be discharged through the chassis 110. By arranging a water receiving groove 170 on the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111, and extending the bottom of the valve plate 150 into the water receiving groove 170, and the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends from the water receiving groove 170 to the inner space of the water receiving side plate 111, the condensed water on the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 flows from the water receiving groove 170 into the chassis 110.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, a water tank is provided on the chassis 110 located in the inner space of the water receiving side plate 111, and the water tank discharges the accumulated water through a special external pipe. The condensed water on the valve plate 150 flows down to the inner space of the water receiving side plate 111 through the outer side of the valve plate 150, and finally flows into the water tank on the chassis 110, avoiding dripping from the outside to the bottom of the air conditioner housing 100.

[0040] It should also be noted that the outer side mentioned in this embodiment refers to the side close to the external space of the air-conditioning shell 100, and the inner side mentioned in this embodiment refers to the side close to the internal space of the air-conditioning shell 100, wherein the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends to the external space of the air-conditioning shell 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, the valve plate 150 is a sheet metal structure, and the bottom of the valve plate 150 is indented inward, extending into the inner space of the water receiving side plate 111, and forming a supporting plate 151. The outer side surface of the supporting plate 151 is supported on the inner side surface of the water receiving side plate 111, and continues to extend to the surface of the bottom plate 110. The outer side surface of the valve plate 150 extends to the outer side surface of the supporting plate 151. In order to ensure that the condensed water can flow into the bottom plate 110 along the supporting plate 151 of the valve plate 150, in this embodiment, a plurality of flow channels can be opened on the surface of the supporting plate 151, or a plurality of convex points can be set on the supporting plate 151, and the convex points can be used to achieve abutment, thereby ensuring that there is a certain small gap between the supporting plate 151 and the water receiving side plate 111, which is convenient for the condensed water to flow in.

[0042] In this embodiment, a splash-proof folding plate 153 is provided at the bottom of the valve plate 150, and the splash-proof folding plate 153 abuts against the bottom plate 110, and the condensed water on the outer side of the valve plate 150 flows into the bottom plate 110 along the splash-proof folding plate 153. Specifically, the splash-proof folding plate 153 is integrally provided at the bottom end of the abutting plate 151 and is attached to the surface of the bottom plate 110. By providing the splash-proof folding plate 153, it is possible to ensure that the condensed water can flow down to the bottom plate 110, and avoid dripping in the bottom plate 110 and causing splashing of accumulated water.

[0043] In this embodiment, an installation opening is opened on the air-conditioning side panel 130, and the installation opening extends downward to the chassis 110. The valve plate 150 is assembled in the installation opening. The bottom of the air-conditioning side panel 130 is fixedly connected to the water receiving side panel 111 by screws and other connecting parts, and the water receiving side panel 111 is exposed within the range of the installation opening. The water receiving groove 170 is arranged on the upper edge of the water receiving side panel 111 within the exposed range.

[0044] In this embodiment, a clamping groove 113 is further provided on the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111, and a clamping tongue 155 is provided on the valve plate 150, and the clamping tongue 155 is assembled on the clamping groove 113, so that the valve plate 150 is clamped on the water receiving side plate 111. Specifically, the clamping tongue 155 is arranged at the middle and lower part of the valve plate 150 and protrudes toward the outside, and the valve plate 150 is fixed by assembling the clamping tongue 155 and the clamping groove 113, so that the fixing effect of the valve plate 150 is better, and the valve plate 150 is prevented from loosening during operation.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there is a single tongue 155 and two water receiving grooves 170, which are arranged on both sides of the tongue 155, so as to ensure the water receiving effect and the connection and fixing effect between the valve plate 150 and the water receiving side plate 111. Of course, in other preferred embodiments, when the width of the valve plate 150 is large, there can be multiple tongues 155, and a water receiving groove 170 is arranged between every two tongues 155. The number of tongues 155 and water receiving grooves 170 is not limited here.

[0046] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the fixing effect between the abutting plate 151 and the water receiving side plate 111, a first screw hole can be opened on the water receiving side plate 111, and a second screw hole can be opened on the abutting plate 151 accordingly, and the abutting plate 151 and the water receiving side plate 111 can be fixed together by screws or bolts. At the same time, in order to prevent the condensed water flowing into the bottom plate 110 from the valve plate 150 from flowing outward from the first screw hole, the opening positions of the first screw hole and the second screw hole need to be at a certain distance from the water receiving surface of the bottom plate 110, for example, 10-20 mm. In addition, a sealing ring needs to be set on the screw or bolt to seal the first screw hole.

[0047] It is worth noting that in order to ensure that all the condensed water on the valve plate 150 can enter the chassis 110, the opening range of the water receiving groove 170 here needs to be as large as possible. Specifically, the water receiving groove 170 is arranged adjacent to the card groove 113, so that all positions on the water receiving side plate 111 within the range of the valve plate 150 except the card groove 113 are connected to the water receiving groove 170 for water collection.

[0048] In this embodiment, the tongue 155 is abutted against the bottom wall of the slot 113, and the opposite side walls of the slot 113 are matched with the gaps on both sides of the tongue 155, and a water receiving gap 115 is formed between the side walls of the slot 113 and the tongue 155, and the water receiving gap 115 is communicated with the internal space of the water receiving side plate 111, so that the condensed water on the tongue 155 flows into the chassis 110 through the water receiving gap 115. Specifically, there are two water receiving gaps 115, and the two water receiving gaps 115 are respectively formed on both sides of the tongue 155. By forming the water receiving gaps 115 on both sides of the slot 113, the condensed water on the tongue 155 can flow into the chassis 110 from the water receiving gaps 115, thereby avoiding the condensed water on the tongue 155 from dripping, and further avoiding the problem of condensed water dripping.

[0049] In this embodiment, the opening width of the card slot 113 is greater than the width of the card tongue 155, and the opening width of the card slot 113 gradually decreases along the assembly direction of the card tongue 155. Specifically, the card slot 113 is in an upward and outward expansion shape, and the opening width of the card slot 113 is set to be larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, so that the card tongue 155 is conveniently installed in the card slot 113, and at the same time, the formed water receiving gap 115 is large enough to ensure the diversion effect.

[0050] It should be noted that the opening width of the slot 113 in this embodiment refers to the distance between the two opposite side walls of the slot 113. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the opening width of the slot 113 can also be adapted to the width of the tongue 155, so that the tongue 155 has a better clamping effect.

[0051] In this embodiment, the side wall of the slot 113 is an arc surface or an inclined surface. Preferably, the opposite side walls of the slot 113 are inclined surfaces, which can guide the tongue 155 to a certain extent during installation, and can further expand the width of the water receiving gap 115, thereby ensuring that the condensed water on the tongue 155 can flow into the bottom plate 110 along the water receiving gap 115.

[0052] In this embodiment, a groove 157 is formed on the top of the tongue 155 and passes through both sides of the tongue 155. The openings at both ends of the groove 157 face the two opposite side walls of the slot 113 respectively. The groove 157 is used to guide the condensed water on the tongue 155 to the water receiving gap 115. Specifically, the top surface of the tongue 155 is inclined upward, thereby forming the groove 157. By providing the groove 157, the condensed water gathered on the tongue 155 can be prevented from dripping directly from the outside of the tongue 155, further avoiding the problem of condensed water dripping.

[0053] In this embodiment, the top surface of the tongue 155 is high in the middle and low on both sides. Specifically, both sides of the tongue 155 have a certain slope, so that the condensed water dripping onto the tongue 155 can flow from both sides of the tongue 155 to the water receiving gap 115. Of course, in other preferred embodiments of the present invention, the top surface of the tongue 155 can also be an arc-shaped structure with a raised middle, so as to ensure that the condensed water flowing from the valve plate 150 to the top surface of the tongue 155 can stay along both sides of the tongue 155 and enter the bottom plate 110 through the water receiving gap 115.

[0054] The clamping tongue 155 includes a clamping portion 1551 and a resisting portion 1553. The clamping portion 1551 is integrally arranged on the valve plate 150 and resists on the bottom wall of the clamping groove 113. The resisting portion 1553 is connected to the resisting portion 1553 and forms a bent structure, and the resisting portion 1553 resists on the outer side of the water receiving side plate 111. Specifically, in this embodiment, the top side surface of the clamping portion 1551 is an inclined surface structure inclined upward, and by resisting the resisting portion 1553 on the outer side of the water receiving side plate 111, the fixing effect between the clamping tongue 155 and the water receiving side plate 111 is further ensured.

[0055] In this embodiment, the lower edge of the supporting portion 1553 has a rounded structure, so that the lower width of the supporting portion 1553 can be gradually reduced, and the entire supporting portion 1553 is wedge-shaped, which facilitates the supporting portion 1553 to be quickly inserted into the slot 113 during installation.

[0056] It should be noted that the valve plate 150 in this embodiment also adopts a sheet metal structure, and the tongue 155 is obtained by cutting and sheet metal processing on the valve plate 150. Therefore, a clearance hole is left on the valve plate 150 at a position corresponding to the tongue 155. Through the existence of the clearance hole, the water receiving gap 115 can directly deliver the condensed water into the internal space of the water receiving side plate 111 through the clearance hole, thereby allowing the condensed water to flow quickly.

[0057] In this embodiment, a sheet metal surround 117 is provided at the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111, the outer side of the sheet metal surround 117 is convexly provided on the water receiving side plate 111, and the inner side of the sheet metal surround 117 is surrounded to form a water receiving groove 170. Specifically, the water receiving side plate 111 is integrally provided on the chassis 110, and the chassis 110 and the water receiving side plate 111 are both sheet metal structures, and the sheet metal is partially bent outward at the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111, so as to form the sheet metal surround 117. Of course, the sheet metal surround 117 here can also be fixed to the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111 by additional welding.

[0058] In this embodiment, the sheet metal edge 117 includes a water receiving portion 1171 and connecting portions 1173 located on both sides of the water receiving portion 1171, the connecting portions 1173 are connected to the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111, the water receiving portion 1171 is tilted outwardly and arranged on the water receiving side plate 111, and the angle formed between the outer side surface of the water receiving portion 1171 and the outer side surface of the water receiving side plate 111 is between 120° and 150°. Preferably, the angle formed between the outer side surface of the water receiving portion 1171 and the outer side surface of the water receiving side plate 111 is 145°, and by limiting the tilt angle of the water receiving portion 1171, the outward expansion width of the water receiving groove 170 meets the water receiving requirements, ensuring that the condensed water on the valve plate 150 can smoothly enter the inner space of the water receiving side plate 111.

[0059] It should be noted that since the gap between the supporting plate 151 of the valve plate 150 and the water receiving side plate 111 is small, the condensed water entering the water receiving groove 170 cannot flow into the inner side of the water receiving side plate 111 in time. At this time, the water receiving groove 170 can also play the role of temporarily storing the condensed water. Therefore, the depth and width of the water receiving groove 170 here can be determined according to the size of the air conditioner outdoor unit and the valve plate 150 and the gap between the supporting plate 151 and the water receiving side plate 111. Of course, it can also be determined through simulation experiments. The size of the water receiving groove 170 is not specifically limited here.

[0060] To summarize, the present embodiment provides an air-conditioning housing 100, in which a water receiving groove 170 is provided on the upper edge of the water receiving side plate 111, and the bottom of the valve plate 150 is extended into the water receiving groove 170, and the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 is extended from the water receiving groove 170 to the inner space of the water receiving side plate 111, so that the condensed water on the outer side surface of the valve plate 150 flows from the water receiving groove 170 into the chassis 110. Compared with the prior art, the present invention realizes water collection through the water receiving groove 170, thereby avoiding the condensed water from directly dripping to the bottom of the chassis 110, thereby avoiding the problem of condensed water dripping. In addition, through the assembly action of the tongue 155 and the groove 113, and in combination with the first screw hole and the second screw hole, the valve plate 150 is fixed to the water receiving side plate 111, thereby achieving the fixation of the valve plate 150, and forming a water receiving gap 115 on both sides of the tongue 155, which can deliver the condensed water on the tongue 155 into the inside of the water receiving side plate 111, further avoiding the problem of condensed water dripping outward.
