Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of heat exchange equipment, and more specifically, to a heat exchange device. Background Technology

[0002] Heat exchange equipment, such as air conditioners, has temperature regulation functions. During the use of air conditioners, especially in the heating mode of a unitary air conditioner in winter, condensate is generated on the outdoor condenser during heat exchange or high-temperature defrosting and de-icing, causing water to slide down the fins and collect in the chassis. Due to usage requirements, the condensate on the outdoor side of the unitary air conditioner does not require water pipe installation and is not directly discharged or dripped onto the ground or building. When the outdoor ambient temperature is below 0°C, the condensate collected in the chassis will freeze, potentially damaging the high-speed rotating fan blades and the water-repellent rings on the fan blades, causing the air conditioner to malfunction.

[0003] Although some air conditioners on the market now have the technology to melt condensate and supply liquid to the evaporator to form steam, thus achieving humidification, the amount of condensate consumed by the steam is limited, and the problem of unmanageable condensate still exists.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, the heat exchange equipment in the existing technology has the problem of incomplete condensate treatment. Summary of the Invention

The indicator device then indicates that the second liquid storage tank is full.

[0020] Furthermore, the heat exchange equipment also includes a second valve, which is located at the liquid inlet of the second tank of the second liquid storage tank.

[0021] Furthermore, the second liquid storage tank is removably mounted on the housing.

[0029] Furthermore, at least a portion of the inner surface of the chassis extends downward at an angle away from the evaporator, so that the condensate on the side where the evaporator is located flows back into the water collection tank.

[0030] Furthermore, a drain valve is also installed inside the water collection tank.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0057] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0058] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0059] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a heat exchange device. This heat exchange device can be used in both industrial and domestic applications to achieve temperature regulation.

[0060] Specifically, the heat exchange equipment is an air conditioner.

[0061] Furthermore, the air conditioner is a modular air conditioner.

[0062] It should be noted that during the use of the heating mode in winter, the outdoor condenser of the integrated air conditioner produces condensate water through heat exchange or high-temperature defrosting and ice melting. The condensate water enters the water collection structure 101 of the air conditioner casing 10 to achieve the effect of collecting condensate water.

[0063] Example 1

[0064] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the heat exchange device includes a shell 10, an evaporator 50, a first liquid storage tank 20, and a second liquid storage tank 30. The shell 10 has a water collection structure 101 for collecting condensate. The evaporator 50 is disposed inside the shell 10. At least a portion of the water collection structure 101 is connected to the inlet 223 of the first liquid storage tank 20. The first liquid storage tank 20 has a first drain port 221 connected to the evaporator 50 to provide condensate for humidification. The first liquid storage tank 20 also has a second drain port 222 connected to the second liquid storage tank 30. The second liquid storage tank 30 is detachably mounted on the shell 10.

[0065] Specifically, the heat exchange equipment of this application collects the condensate generated during use through the water collection structure 101 and supplies the condensate to the evaporator 50. The evaporator 50 evaporates and consumes the condensate, thereby humidifying the air while consuming the condensate. This application forms a dual-storage tank structure by setting a first storage tank 20 and a second storage tank 30. The dual storage tanks collect excess condensate. The first storage tank 20 not only supplies condensate to the evaporator 50 but also supplies condensate to the second storage tank 30. The second storage tank 30 can centrally discharge condensate, achieving centralized treatment of condensate and avoiding indiscriminate discharge that would affect the environment. The second storage tank 30 is detachably installed on the housing 10. When centralized treatment of condensate is required, the second storage tank 30 can be pulled out of the housing 10 to remove the second storage tank 30 and treat the condensate inside.

[0066] In this application, a dual-storage tank structure of first storage tank 20 and second storage tank 30 is adopted to facilitate the centralized discharge of condensate inside the second storage tank 30 during centralized condensate treatment, without affecting the storage of condensate inside the first storage tank 20 and the supply of condensate to the evaporator 50.

[0067] Furthermore, the second liquid storage tank 30 is located below the first liquid storage tank 20, so that the condensate inside the first liquid storage tank 20 enters the interior of the second liquid storage tank 30 through the second drain port 222. The first liquid storage tank 20 and the second liquid storage tank 30 are arranged vertically to allow the condensate to enter the interior of the second liquid storage tank 30 under the action of gravity.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first liquid storage tank 20 and the second liquid storage tank 30 are located at the corner of the housing 10 or on one side of the evaporator 50, so that after the condensate enters the first liquid storage tank 20, the condensate inside the first liquid storage tank 20 can flow to the evaporator 50. Furthermore, the location of the first liquid storage tank 20 and the second liquid storage tank 30 at the corner of the housing 10 also facilitates the disassembly of the second liquid storage tank 30 or the direct discharge of the condensate inside the second liquid storage tank 30 to the outside of the housing 10 when centralized treatment of condensate is required, thereby reducing the discharge path and improving the efficiency of condensate discharge.

[0069] It should be noted that the first liquid storage tank 20 and the second liquid storage tank 30 are connected by a connecting pipe 90. In one embodiment of this example, a pump body can be installed on the connecting pipe 90 to provide power for the condensate to enter the second liquid storage tank 30 from the first liquid storage tank 20. When the pump body is installed on the connecting pipe 90, the arrangement of the first liquid storage tank 20 and the second liquid storage tank 30 is not limited to the vertical arrangement, but can also be arranged in other ways, such as side by side.

[0070] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the water collection structure 101 includes a water collection tank 1011, through which condensate is collected. The water collection structure 101 also includes a water pump 80 and a delivery pipeline 70. The water pump 80 transmits the condensate in the water collection tank 1011 to the first liquid storage tank 20 through the delivery pipeline 70.

[0071] Furthermore, when the temperature is too low and the condensate freezes inside the water collection tank 1011 of the water collection structure 101, the heating element 60 installed in the water collection tank 1011 can be used to heat and melt the ice, so that the condensate remains liquid. The water pump 80 is equipped with a float level switch 810, so that when the heating element 60 heats and melts the ice to form condensate, the float level switch 810 controls the water pump 80 to work. Driven by the water pump 80, the condensate can be transported to the inside of the first storage tank 20 through the delivery pipeline 70.

[0072] Among them, the heating element 60 is an electric heater, such as an electric heating wire or an electric heating rod, which is a structural component with a heating function.

[0073] In this embodiment, the housing 10 has a chassis with a water collection tank 1011 formed on the chassis. The water pump 80 and the water collection tank 1011 are disposed on the side of the housing 10 away from the evaporator 50, and the water pump 80 is located at the corner of the housing 10. The first liquid storage tank 20, the second liquid storage tank 30 and the water pump 80 are located in the diagonal direction of the housing 10.

[0074] Since the water collection tank 1011 is a distance away from the evaporator 50, the structure of the water pump 80 and the delivery pipeline 70 is used to deliver the condensate to the first liquid storage tank 20. The water pump 80 is located at the corner of the housing 10 to provide power for the flow of condensate inside the delivery pipeline 70. The above layout is conducive to the flow of condensate and enhances the collection efficiency of condensate.

[0075] Of course, the water pump 80 is not limited to being located at the corner of the housing 10, but can also be located in other positions inside the housing 10, as long as it can provide power.

[0076] It should be noted that the corner of the housing 10 is the corner formed by the connection of the two sides of the chassis of the housing 10.

[0077] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the inner surface of the chassis extends downward at an angle away from the evaporator 50, so that the condensate on the side where the evaporator 50 is located flows back into the water collection tank 1011.

[0078] like Figure 1 As shown, a drain valve is also provided in the water collection tank 1011 to control whether the condensate inside the water collection tank 1011 is discharged to the external environment by controlling the opening and closing of the drain valve.

[0079] Specifically, the housing 10 is equipped with a rainwater detection device, which is used to detect whether it is raining in the external environment and send a drainage signal when it is detected to rain. The rainwater detection device is connected to the drainage valve so that the drainage valve can open the drainage when it receives the drainage signal.

[0080] Furthermore, the rainwater detection device is a rainwater sensor.

[0081] Furthermore, the water collection tank 1011 has different depth regions. As the condensate in the deep regions is extracted, the condensate in the shallow regions is replenished to the deep regions. The inlet of the delivery pipe 70 is connected to the deepest region of the water collection tank 1011 of the chassis to ensure sufficient condensate transfer.

[0082] like Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, the delivery pipeline 70 includes a first section 701, a second section 702 and a third section 703 connected in sequence. The first section 701 extends along the side of the housing 10, the third section 703 is arranged along the height direction of the housing 10, and the outlet of the third section 703 is located at the top of the storage tank.

[0083] Specifically, a segmented delivery pipeline 70 is used to deliver condensate. The first segment 701 and the second segment 702 are bent. Both the first segment 701 and the second segment 702 extend along two adjacent sides of the housing 10. The first segment 701 extends from the pump body toward the evaporator 50, and the second segment 702 extends toward the first liquid storage tank 20.

[0084] Furthermore, the specific angle settings of the first segment 701 and the second segment 702 can be adapted according to installation requirements. The first segment 701 and the second segment 702 can be set at right angles.

[0085] Furthermore, the end of the first segment 701 furthest from the second segment 702 is provided with a liquid inlet.

[0086] In this embodiment, the conveying pipe 70 is made of silicone rubber and can be used at a low temperature of -30°C. To ensure that the inside of the pipe does not freeze or become blocked, the outer surface of the conveying pipe 70 is covered with a heat-insulating sponge with a thickness of not less than 9mm.

[0087] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the first liquid storage tank 20 includes a first tank body 220, a first cover plate 210, and a partition plate 230. The first tank body 220 has a first drain port 221 and a second drain port 222. The first cover plate 210 is detachably installed on the top of the first tank body 220. The first tank body 220 and the first cover plate 210 cooperate to form a cavity. The inlet 223 is provided on the first tank body 220 or the first cover plate 210. The partition plate 230 is provided inside the cavity. The partition plate 230 divides the cavity into a primary region 2201 and a secondary region 2202. The inlet 223 and the first drain port 221 are connected to the primary region 2201, and the second drain port 222 is connected to the secondary region 2202.

[0088] The inlet 223 can be located on either the first cover plate 210 or the first housing 220, depending on whether it can allow condensate to enter the interior of the cavity through the inlet 223 under the conveying action of the conveying pipeline 70.

[0089] Specifically, condensate enters the interior of the primary zone 2201 through inlet 223 on the first liquid storage tank 20. The condensate can flow to the evaporator 50 through the first drain outlet 221 to provide condensate to the evaporator 50, thereby achieving the humidification effect.

[0090] Furthermore, to ensure controllability of the humidification effect, the first liquid storage tank 20 also includes a first valve, which is located at the first drain port 221 to adjust the on / off state between the first tank 220 and the evaporator 50. Controlling the first valve controls whether humidification is applied.

[0091] It should be noted that the first valve can be remotely controlled to open or close, and can also be manually controlled to open or close. The first valve is a solenoid valve.

[0092] In this embodiment, the partition 230 divides the cavity into a primary region 2201 and a secondary region 2202, thereby ensuring that condensate first enters the interior of the primary region 2201. As needed, the condensate is controlled to be supplied to the evaporator 50 from the first drain port 221 in the primary region 2201, thus preventing condensate from directly entering the interior of the secondary region 2202 and then entering the interior of the second liquid storage tank 30 through the second drain port 222, so as to avoid the phenomenon that humidification cannot be achieved.

[0093] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the partition 230 is placed vertically within the cavity, and an overflow port 231 is provided at the top of the partition 230. The primary region 2201 and the secondary region 2202 are connected through the overflow port 231. Placing the overflow port 231 at the top of the partition 230 ensures that the first drain port 221 and the second drain port 222 are located below the overflow port 231. Of course, the overflow port 231 can also be placed in other positions on the partition 230, but the specific position of the overflow port 231 should be higher than the first drain port 221 and the second drain port 222.

[0094] Furthermore, the overflow outlet 231 is connected to the top edge of the partition 230 so that the interior of the primary zone 2201 can store sufficient condensate.

[0095] Furthermore, the overflow port 231 can also be an overflow gap formed between the top of the baffle 230 and the cover plate, through which liquid flows.

[0096] It should be noted that the two methods mentioned above can be set individually or simultaneously.

[0097] In this embodiment, the primary region 2201 and the secondary region 2202 are arranged in a horizontal direction.

[0098] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the heat exchange equipment also includes a filter assembly 240, which is disposed inside the primary zone 2201. The filter assembly 240 divides the primary zone 2201 into a filterable zone 22012 and a filterable zone 22011. The inlet 223 is connected to the filterable zone 22012, and the first drain port 221 is connected to the filterable zone 22011.

[0099] Specifically, in order to filter impurities in the condensate flowing to the evaporator 50, a filter assembly 240 is installed inside the primary zone 2201. The condensate flowing in from the inlet 223 enters the zone to be filtered 22012. The condensate in the zone to be filtered enters the filtration zone 22011 through the filter assembly 240. The filtered condensate then enters the evaporator 50, thus purifying the condensate.

[0100] In this embodiment, two different implementation methods are provided depending on the structural form of the filter assembly 240, as detailed below.

[0101] like Figures 1 to 12 In the specific embodiment shown, the filter assembly 240 is placed upright inside the primary region 2201 so that the region to be filtered 22012 and the filtering region 22011 are arranged side by side.

[0102] Specifically, the filter assembly 240 includes at least two uprights 2411, a crossbar 2412, and a filter screen 242. The at least two uprights 2411 are spaced apart, and two of the uprights 2411 are respectively connected to the side of the primary region 2201. The crossbar 2412 is installed on the bottom surface of the primary region 2201 and connected to the uprights 2411. The crossbar 2412 and the uprights 2411 cooperate to form a filter support 241, and the filter screen 242 is installed on the filter support 241.

[0103] Furthermore, the two uprights 2411 are connected by a crossbar 2412 to form a filter support 241, which is used to support the filter 242.

[0104] Furthermore, the crossbar 2412 has a preset height, H, of 8-10mm. The upright 2411 and the crossbar 2412 cooperate to form a U-shaped filter support 241, with the bottom height H of the filter support 241 being 8-10mm. The height of the crossbar 2412 can be adaptively adjusted. Impurities in the condensate inside the filtration area 22012 are stopped by the filter screen 242, settle, and fall to the bottom, where they are stopped by the crossbar 2412.

[0105] Furthermore, the filter support 241 is provided with an installation groove, and the filter 242 is slidably connected to the installation groove. Both the upright 2411 and the crossbar 2412 are provided with slide rails, which cooperate to form a U-shaped slide rail structure, so that the filter 242 can be inserted and slid onto the filter support 241 in the vertical direction, which facilitates the installation and removal of the filter and thus achieves the effect of convenient cleaning.

[0106] In this embodiment, the height H of the crossbar 2412 can be 8mm, 8.5mm, 9mm, 9.5mm, or 10mm.

[0107] In another specific embodiment, the filter assembly 240 is positioned horizontally inside the primary region 2201.

[0108] Specifically, the filter assembly 240 divides the primary area 2201 into an upper and lower filtration area 22012 and a filtration area 22011. After passing through the filter assembly, the condensate enters the interior of the filtration area 22011.

[0109] Furthermore, the filter assembly 240 includes a filter support 241 disposed on the inner wall surface of the primary region 2201. The filter support 241 is used to install and support the filter 242, which is located above the filter support 241 for easy removal of the filter 242.

[0110] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned arrangement of placing the filter screen 242 above the filter screen bracket 241, the filter screen bracket 241 may also have an installation groove, and the filter screen 242 may be installed inside the installation groove. When the filter screen 242 needs to be replaced, the entire filter screen assembly 240 may be disassembled and reassembled.

[0111] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the second liquid storage tank 30 includes a second tank body 320 and a second cover plate 310. The second tank body 320 has at least a liquid inlet 321 that communicates with the outside of the housing 10. The second cover plate 310 is detachably installed on the top surface of the second tank body 320. The second cover plate 310 and the second tank body 320 cooperate to form a liquid storage cavity. The second tank body 320 or the second cover plate 310 is provided with a liquid inlet that communicates with the second drain port 222.

[0112] Among them, the liquid inlet 321 can be as follows: Figure 7 The straight pipe structure shown can also have the following configuration: the liquid inlet 321 can be... Figure 8 The bending setting shown can be 90°, or other angles, depending on the need for easy liquid discharge.

[0113] Specifically, the second liquid storage tank 30 is used to store condensate. By using the second liquid storage tank 30 to store condensate, the direct discharge of condensate is avoided. The condensate enters the interior of the second liquid storage tank 30 from the first liquid storage tank 20.

[0114] Furthermore, the liquid inlet can be located on the second cover plate 310 or the second housing 320. The specific location of the liquid inlet should be such that the condensate discharged from the second drain port 222 can enter the interior of the second liquid storage tank 30.

[0115] Furthermore, the heat exchange equipment also includes a second valve, which is located at the liquid inlet 321 of the second tank 320 of the second liquid storage tank 30. The second valve controls the discharge of condensate from the inside of the second liquid storage tank 30 to the outside of the shell 10, thereby improving controllability.

[0116] The second valve is a solenoid valve.

[0117] In this embodiment, during the centralized treatment of condensate inside the second liquid storage tank 30, condensate can be discharged by disassembling the second cover plate 310 of the second liquid storage tank 30, or by adding a drain pipe 1070, which is connected to the liquid inlet 321 for condensate discharge. The liquid storage tank is detachably installed inside the housing 10 to allow for centralized discharge of condensate inside the storage chamber after disassembly of the liquid storage tank.

[0118] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the heat exchange equipment also includes a mounting bracket 40, which is installed inside the housing 10. The mounting bracket 40 has a mounting port 410, through which the second liquid storage tank 30 is detachably installed to the interior of the mounting bracket 40.

[0119] Specifically, the mounting bracket 40 with the mounting port 410 is in the form of a receiving groove structure. The second liquid storage tank 30 is detachably installed into the inside of the receiving groove structure through the groove. The receiving groove is used to provide an installation position for the second liquid storage tank 30 so that the second liquid storage tank 30 can be detachably installed on the housing 10. The mounting bracket 40 not only has the effect of positioning but also the effect of support and protection.

[0120] Furthermore, the heat exchange equipment also includes a connecting pipe 90. One end of the connecting pipe 90 is connected to the second drain port 222, and at least a portion of the other end of the connecting pipe 90 extends into the interior of the mounting bracket 40. The other end of the connecting pipe 90 is directly opposite and spaced apart from the liquid inlet of the second housing 320 of the second liquid storage tank 30. The connecting pipe 90 is positioned so that it is not fixedly connected to the liquid inlet, ensuring that the normal movement of the second liquid storage tank 30 is not affected when it needs to be moved. After the second liquid storage tank 30 is installed inside the mounting bracket 40, condensate from the first liquid storage tank 20 can be supplied to the interior of the second liquid storage tank 30 via the connecting pipe 90.

[0121] Furthermore, the second liquid storage tank 30 and the mounting bracket 40 are slidably connected via a sliding assembly. The heat exchange device includes a sliding assembly comprising a slide bar 1050 extending along the depth direction of the mounting bracket 40 and a slide groove 1040 slidably engaging with the slide bar 1050. One of the slide bar 1050 and the slide groove 1040 is disposed on the inner wall surface of the mounting bracket 40, and the other is disposed on the outer wall surface of the second housing 320 of the second liquid storage tank 30.

[0122] Of course, the configuration of the sliding component is not limited to the above-mentioned structural cooperation between the slider 1050 and the slide groove 1040. It can also be other similar structures that can achieve sliding guidance, such as the structure of the pulley and the slide groove 1040 cooperating.

[0123] In this embodiment, to ensure the second liquid storage tank 30 can be stably installed inside the mounting frame 40, an elastic rib 420 is provided on the side wall of the mounting frame 40. The elastic rib 420 abuts against the second liquid storage tank 30. One end of the elastic rib 420 is connected to the side wall of the mounting frame 40, and the other end of the elastic rib 420 extends towards one side of the second liquid storage tank 30, abutting against the second liquid storage tank 30 to clamp it. Specifically, when the second liquid storage tank 30 is installed inside the mounting frame 40, the outer wall of the second liquid storage tank 30 abuts against the other end of the elastic rib 420, causing the other end of the elastic rib 420 to deform. When the second liquid storage tank 30 is removed from the mounting frame 40, the elastic rib 420 returns to its original shape.

[0124] Furthermore, to improve the installation stability of the second liquid storage tank 30, a rib 1020 is provided on the outer wall surface of the second liquid storage tank 30. The rib 1020 increases the friction between the second liquid storage tank 30 and the inner wall of the mounting bracket 40, thereby improving the installation stability.

[0125] In this embodiment, the second liquid storage tank 30 is detachably mounted on the housing 10 so that it can be easily operated by pulling it out when it is necessary to disassemble or assemble the second liquid storage tank 30.

[0126] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, a handle 1030 is provided on the second body 320 of the second liquid storage tank 30. The second liquid storage tank 30 can be pushed and pulled by the handle 1030. The handle 1030 is provided to facilitate manual pulling of the second liquid storage tank 30.

[0127] Specifically, the position of the handle 1030 can be adaptively adjusted according to the structure of the second liquid storage tank 30, so as to facilitate pushing and pulling the second liquid storage tank 30.

[0128] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the removal of the second liquid storage tank 30 from the inside of the housing 10, the housing 10 is provided with a clearance opening 103 that is aligned with the mounting opening 410, so that when it is necessary to remove the second liquid storage tank 30, the second liquid storage tank 30 can be removed by passing through the mounting opening 410 and the clearance opening 103 in sequence.

[0129] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, in order to avoid noise and splashing when condensate enters the second liquid storage tank 30, the heat exchange equipment also includes a flow-regulating component 1060. The liquid inlet is connected to the liquid storage chamber through the flow-regulating component 1060. The flow-regulating component 1060 is used to guide and slow down the flow of condensate entering through the liquid inlet.

[0130] The slow-flow component 1060 includes a water receiving tank 1061, which is formed on the second cover plate 310 or the second housing 320. The water receiving tank 1061 has a water outlet that communicates with the liquid storage chamber. After condensate enters through the liquid inlet, it flows along the inner wall of the water receiving tank 1061 and flows out through the water outlet. Due to the guiding effect of the water receiving tank 1061, the liquid is guided into the interior of the liquid storage chamber.

[0131] Furthermore, when the water receiving trough 1061 is integrated with the second cover plate 310, the water receiving trough 1061 is formed by at least a portion of the second cover plate 310 recessed into the liquid storage cavity, and the opening of the water receiving trough 1061 serves as the liquid inlet.

[0132] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the water receiving tank 1061 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane with an inclination of 5°-8°, and the bottom surface of the water receiving tank 1061 extends downwards along the direction close to the water outlet. The inclined bottom surface has the effect of preventing water accumulation and allowing condensate to flow smoothly into the liquid storage chamber.

[0133] In this embodiment, the tilt angle can be 5°, 6°, 7°, or 8°. Too small an tilt angle hinders the flow of condensate, while too large an tilt angle affects the buffering effect.

[0134] like Figures 1 to 12As shown, the heat exchange equipment also includes a liquid level sensing device 1010, which is installed in the liquid storage chamber.

[0135] Specifically, by setting up a liquid level sensing device 1010, the condensate stored inside the liquid storage chamber can be detected, so as to achieve the effect of timed treatment of condensate.

[0136] Furthermore, the heat exchange equipment also includes an indicator device, which is electrically connected to the liquid level sensor 1010. The liquid level sensor 1010 has a liquid level detection end, which is located at the top of the liquid storage chamber of the second liquid storage tank 30. It is used to send an indicator message to the indicator device when it detects that the condensate in the liquid storage chamber is full. The indicator device then indicates that the second liquid storage tank 30 is full.

[0137] The alerting device may be an alarm or similar structure, which will sound an alarm when the condensate in the second liquid storage tank 30 is full to remind the operator to handle the condensate.

[0138] In this embodiment, the liquid level sensing device 1010 consists of a float and a sensing device. As the condensate inside the second liquid storage tank 30 gradually increases, the float rises with the liquid level. When the float and the sensing device work together, the sensing device sends a prompt message to the prompting device.

[0139] It should be noted that the liquid level sensing device 1010 can also be a liquid level sensor to detect water level information and send a prompt message to the prompting device after the preset water level is reached.

[0140] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a drain channel 102, which is located between the liquid outlet of the evaporator 50 and the water collection tank 1011, so as to realize that the condensate that flows through the evaporator 50 and is not evaporated flows back to the interior of the water collection tank 1011.

[0141] In this process, after the condensate flows to the evaporator 50, some of the unevaporated condensate flows back to the inside of the water collection tank 1011 to achieve the recycling of condensate.

[0142] Example 2

[0143] In this embodiment, to ensure that the condensate inside the first liquid storage tank 20 flows evenly into the evaporator 50, such as... Figures 13 to 17 As shown, the heat exchange device also includes a drain box 1080, which is located on top of the evaporator 50. The first liquid storage tank 20 is connected to the evaporator 50 through the drain box 1080.

[0144] Specifically, the drain box 1080 has a drain cavity communicating with the first drain port 221 of the first liquid storage tank 20 and an external communication hole 1087 communicating with the drain cavity. The drain cavity includes a transition cavity 1082 communicating with the first drain port 221 and a plurality of diversion cavities 1081 communicating with the transition cavity 1082. The plurality of diversion cavities 1081 are arranged along the length direction of the evaporator 50. An external communication hole 1087 is provided on the cavity wall of each diversion cavity 1081. The diversion cavity 1081 is connected to the evaporator 50 through the external communication hole 1087.

[0145] The drainage box 1080 includes a box body 1084 and a box cover 1083. The box cover 1083 covers the box body 1084, and the transition cavity 1082 and the diversion cavity 1081 are disposed inside the box body 1084 and the box cover 1083.

[0146] Specifically, the drain box 1080 has a transition chamber 1082 and a diversion chamber 1081. The condensate flowing out of the first drain port 221 enters the interior of the transition chamber 1082 and then enters the interior of the diversion chamber 1081. It then flows to the evaporator 50 through the external connecting hole 1087 on the diversion chamber 1081. By setting the diversion chamber 1081, the liquid can flow evenly to the evaporator 50, which improves the evaporation efficiency and is beneficial to improving the humidification efficiency.

[0147] Furthermore, a plurality of first partition plates 1085 are provided inside the drain box 1080. The plurality of first partition plates 1085 are arranged at intervals along the thickness direction of the evaporator 50 to form a transition cavity 1082. At least one end of the first partition plate 1085 is spaced apart from the inner wall surface of the drain box 1080 to form a communication channel. At least one second partition plate 1086 is also provided inside the drain box 1080. The second partition plate 1086 is connected to the first partition plate 1085 and the inner wall surface of the drain box 1080, and is used to divide the interior of the drain box 1080 into a plurality of diversion cavities 1081.

[0148] The condensate that enters the drain box 1080 through the first drain outlet 221 first enters the transition chamber 1082. The transition chamber 1082 diverts the condensate so that the condensate flows evenly to the diversion chamber 1081.

[0149] Furthermore, the first partition plate 1085 and the second partition plate 1086 are disposed on the box cover 1083.

[0150] In this embodiment, the transition cavity 1082 formed by multiple first partition plates 1085 has multiple sub-cavities, which are connected in a manner. The condensate inside the transition cavity 1082 flows into the interior of different diversion cavities 1081 through the connecting channels.

[0151] like Figures 13 to 17As shown, two first partition plates 1085 are provided. One first partition plate 1085 forms a sub-cavity with the side of the drain box 1080, communicating with the first drain port 221. Another sub-cavity is formed between the two partition plates 230. The communication port of the two sub-cavities is located in the middle of the other sub-cavity. Two connecting channels are formed between the other first partition plate 1085 and the drain box 1080 to supply liquid to the two diversion cavities 1081. A second partition plate 1086 is provided between the other first partition plate 1085 and the drain box 1080. One end of the second partition plate 1086 is connected to the middle of the other first partition plate 1085, and the other end of the second partition plate 1086 is connected to the middle of the side of the drain box 1080, so as to form two diversion cavities 1081 of equal size.

[0152] Furthermore, the external connecting hole 1087 has a tapered section on the side facing the inside of the drain box 1080, and the diameter of the tapered section gradually decreases along the direction towards the outside of the drain box 1080. The tapered section of the external connecting hole 1087 is conducive to water collection and achieves the technical effect of drainage.

[0153] It should be noted that the external connecting hole 1087 also has a circular section, which is connected to the conical section, so that condensate enters the evaporator 50 after passing through the conical section and the circular section. The diameter of the circular section is equal to the minimum diameter of the conical section and they are coaxially arranged.

[0154] In this embodiment, to ensure that condensate flows uniformly from the inside of the distribution chamber 1081 to the evaporator 50, each distribution chamber 1081 is provided with multiple external connecting holes 1087. The diameters of the multiple external connecting holes 1087 are not completely equal, and the diameter of the external connecting holes 1087 near the connection position between the transition chamber 1082 and the distribution chamber 1081 is smaller than the diameter of the external connecting holes 1087 farther away from the connection position between the transition chamber 1082 and the distribution chamber 1081. After the condensate flows into the inside of the distribution chamber 1081, as the flow rate of condensate gradually decreases, in order to ensure the liquid output, the diameter of the external connecting holes 1087 near the connection position between the transition chamber 1082 and the distribution chamber 1081 is smaller than the diameter of the external connecting holes 1087 farther away from the connection position between the transition chamber 1082 and the distribution chamber 1081, thereby improving the uniformity of liquid outflow.

[0155] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0156] This application provides a heat exchange device, which includes a shell 10, an evaporator 50, a first liquid storage tank 20, and a second liquid storage tank 30. The shell 10 has a water collection structure 101 for collecting condensate. The evaporator 50 is disposed inside the shell 10. At least a portion of the water collection structure 101 is connected to the inlet 223 of the first liquid storage tank 20. The first liquid storage tank 20 has a first drain port 221 connected to the evaporator 50 to provide condensate for humidification. The first liquid storage tank 20 also has a second drain port 222 connected to the second liquid storage tank 30.

[0157] As can be seen from the above, the heat exchange equipment of this application collects the condensate generated during use through the water collection structure 101 and supplies the condensate to the evaporator 50. The evaporator 50 evaporates and consumes the condensate, thereby humidifying the air while consuming the condensate. This application forms a dual-storage tank structure by setting a first storage tank 20 and a second storage tank 30. The dual storage tanks collect excess condensate. The first storage tank 20 not only provides condensate to the evaporator 50 but also provides condensate to the second storage tank 30. The second storage tank 30 can centrally discharge condensate, achieving centralized treatment of condensate and avoiding the environmental impact of indiscriminate discharge of condensate.
