Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning range hood technology, and in particular to a water pumping component and an air conditioning range hood. Background Technology

[0002] The kitchen is the primary place for cooking, and the quality of the kitchen's air environment directly affects the cooking experience. Kitchens are hot in summer and cold in winter, requiring both heating and cooling. To address this, various kitchen air conditioners have been invented to cool the air in summer and provide warm air in winter, improving cooking comfort. Additionally, there are integrated kitchen air conditioners that combine ventilation and cooling into a single unit, saving kitchen space and reducing installation costs.

[0003] Traditional split-type air conditioners place the indoor unit indoors and the outdoor unit outdoors, with condensate draining outdoors via connecting pipes. However, range hoods integrate both the indoor and outdoor units and are installed indoors. This necessitates managing the condensate generated by the air conditioning module; simply directing large amounts of condensate into the range hood's grease cup negatively impacts user experience. Currently, the solution involves guiding the condensate from the evaporator to below the condenser, where a pump agitates the water onto the condenser fins. The water evaporates due to the heat of the fins and is then drawn into the room through ductwork. This requires the pump to distribute the condensate as much as possible evenly onto the condenser fins to maximize condensate consumption and heat dissipation.

[0004] However, existing water pumping components rely solely on fixed-position water pumping motors for water pumping, which not only causes uneven water pumping by the air conditioner range hood water pumping motor, but also makes it difficult to disassemble the water pumping motor and results in technical problems such as the inability of condensate to be evenly distributed on the condenser fins. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a water-spraying component and an air-conditioning range hood to solve the technical problems of uneven water spraying, difficult disassembly, and uneven distribution of condensate in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a water-spraying assembly, comprising a water-spraying motor, a water-spraying impeller, and an adjusting mechanism, wherein:

[0008] The adjustment mechanism is connected to the water pumping motor and can drive the water pumping motor to move along the distribution direction of the condenser fins.

[0009] The water-pumping impeller is located below the condenser and is connected to the water-pumping motor. It can be driven by the water-pumping motor to rotate and evenly pump condensate onto the condenser fins when the water-pumping motor moves back and forth.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism includes:

[0017] Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism also includes:

[0018] The second guide rail is arranged on the other side of the bottom of the slide rail box and is arranged side by side with the rack;

[0019] The water pump motor is slidably mounted on the second guide rail.

[0020] Furthermore, the water pumping assembly also includes a distributor arranged on the condenser for uniformly backflowing the pumped water onto the condenser.

[0021] Furthermore, the liquid distributor includes:

[0022] The water receiving tray has an internal cavity for storing the water pumped on.

[0023] A water guide hole is provided on the side wall of the water receiving tray and is fitted to the condenser fins to guide the stored water to the top of the condenser fins.

[0024] A water inlet is located at the bottom of the water receiving tray for water to pass through.

[0025] Furthermore, the number of water guide holes is several, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water receiving tray.

[0026] The water-spraying assembly provided by this invention, on the one hand, allows the water-spraying motor to move and adjust its position along the distribution direction of the condenser fins through an adjustment mechanism, and can also control the water-spraying motor to move to the outer end of the condenser for easy installation and disassembly; on the other hand, by installing a liquid distributor on the condenser fins, the condensate that cannot be sprayed onto the fins is collected in the liquid distributor, and then the condensate is guided to flow along the water guide holes on both sides to the fins on both sides. Through these two structures, the technical effects of improving the water spraying uniformity of the water-spraying motor, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the water-spraying motor assembly, and ensuring the uniform distribution of condensate sprayed onto the fins are achieved.

[0027] Secondly, the present invention provides an air conditioning range hood, including the aforementioned water pumping component.

[0028] Furthermore, the air conditioner range hood includes a housing assembly and a condenser assembly, with the condenser assembly arranged above the housing assembly; the water pumping assembly is installed on the housing assembly and located below the condenser assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, the water-spraying assembly includes a water-spraying impeller and a liquid distributor, wherein:

[0030] The water-pumping impeller is arranged at the bottom of the condenser assembly;

[0031] The liquid distributor is arranged on the condenser assembly.

[0032] Furthermore, the condenser assembly includes two sets of fins arranged side by side; the water-pumping impeller and the liquid distributor are both located between the two sets of fins.

[0033] The air conditioner range hood provided by this invention solves the problem of condensate water consumption by allowing the position of the water pump motor to be adjusted in real time and ensuring that the condensate water already dispersed above can be evenly distributed on the fins, thus avoiding the problem of excessive condensate water overflowing.

[0047] To address the technical problems in existing air conditioner range hoods, such as uneven water pumping by the water pumping motor, difficulty in disassembling the water pumping motor, and the inability to evenly distribute condensate onto the condenser fins, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a water-spraying assembly, including a water-spraying motor 5, a water-spraying impeller 6, and an adjusting mechanism, wherein:

[0048] The adjustment mechanism is connected to the water pump motor 5 and can drive the water pump motor 5 to move along the fin distribution direction of the condenser 2. Specifically, the water pump motor 5 can reciprocate, not only in the fin distribution direction of the condenser 2, but also to the outside of the condenser 2, so as to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0049] The water-pumping impeller 6 is located below the condenser 2 and is connected to the water-pumping motor 5. It can be driven by the water-pumping motor 5 to rotate when the water-pumping motor 5 moves back and forth, so as to evenly pump the condensed water onto the fins of the condenser 2.

[0050] The water-spraying assembly provided by this invention, on the one hand, allows the water-spraying motor to move and adjust its position along the distribution direction of the condenser fins through an adjustment mechanism, and can also control the water-spraying motor to move to the outer end of the condenser for easy installation and disassembly; on the other hand, by installing a liquid distributor on the condenser fins, the condensate that cannot be sprayed onto the fins is collected in the liquid distributor, and then the condensate is guided to flow along the water guide holes on both sides to the fins on both sides. Through these two structures, the technical effects of improving the water spraying uniformity of the water-spraying motor, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the water-spraying motor assembly, and ensuring the uniform distribution of condensate sprayed onto the fins are achieved.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 2-5 As shown, the adjustment mechanism includes:

[0052] Slide rail box 7 has a U-shaped structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the U-shape also has two platform sections extending outwards;

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the first guide rail 7.1 is arranged on a platform at the top of the slide rail box 7 and is used to fix and limit the slide rail motor 3, so that the slide rail motor 3 can only move forward and backward in one direction during operation; specifically, the first guide rail 7.1 is U-shaped.

[0054] The slide rail motor 3 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 7.1;

[0055] Rack 7.3 is located on one side of the bottom of slide box 7 and is used to cooperate with gear 4;

[0056] Gear 4 is mounted on the output shaft of slide rail motor 3 and meshes with rack 7.3. When slide rail motor 3 starts, it can rotate gear 4. When gear 4 rotates, it drives slide rail motor 3 to move along the first guide rail 7. under the transmission of meshing with rack 7.3.

[0057] The water pump motor 5 is fixed to the gear 4. Specifically, the water pump motor 5 is fixed to one side of the gear 4, and the slide rail motor 3 is fixed to the other side of the gear 4. The water pump motor 5 can be driven to move along with the gear 4 when the gear 4 moves.

[0058] Furthermore, to ensure the stability of the water pump motor 5's movement, the adjustment mechanism also includes: such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown,

[0059] The second guide rail 7.2 is arranged on the other side of the bottom of the slide rail box 7 and is arranged side by side with the rack 7.3. It is used to fix and limit the water pump motor 5, so that the water pump motor 5 can only move forward and backward in one direction during operation. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 7.2 is U-shaped. It should be noted that in this invention, the height of the first guide rail 7.1, the height of the second guide rail 7.2, the depth of the slide rail box 7, the installation height of the rack 7.3, etc. can all be selected and set according to the actual situation, as long as it can be ensured that after the water pumping assembly is installed, the output shaft of the slide rail motor 3, the central axis of the gear 4, the output shaft of the water pump motor 4 and the central axis of the water pump impeller 6 are in the same plane or coaxially.

[0060] The water pump motor 5 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 7.2.

[0061] The overall assembly method is as follows: the slide rail motor 3 is installed on the slide rail box 7 via the first guide rail 7.1, the gear 4 is fixed to the slide rail motor 3 and meshes with the rack 7.3 of the slide rail box 4, one end of the water pump motor 5 is pin connected to the gear 4, the bottom is fixed to the second guide rail 7.2, and the water pump impeller 6 is installed on the shaft of the water pump motor 5.

[0062] like Figures 8-10 As shown, the water pumping assembly further includes a distributor 8 arranged on the condenser 2 for uniformly backflowing the pumped water onto the condenser 2.

[0063] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the liquid distributor 8 includes:

[0064] Water tray 8.2 has an internal cavity for storing the pumped water;

[0065] Water guide hole 8.1 is opened on the side wall of water receiving tray 8.2 and is fitted to the condenser fins to guide the stored water to the top of the condenser 2 fins;

[0066] Water inlet 8.3 is located at the bottom of water receiving tray 8.2 and is used for water to pass through.

[0067] like Figure 9-10 As shown, the water inlet hole 8.3 is an elongated hole to ensure that as much water as possible enters.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, there are several water guide holes 8.1, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water receiving tray 8.2, and the water guide holes 8.1 on the same side wall are evenly spaced.

[0069] The present invention provides an air conditioning range hood, including the above-mentioned water pumping component.

[0070] Furthermore, the air conditioner range hood includes a housing assembly, a condenser assembly, an evaporator assembly, a compressor assembly, etc., with the condenser assembly arranged above the housing assembly; the water pumping assembly is installed on the housing assembly and located below the condenser assembly.

[0071] Furthermore, the water-spraying assembly includes a water-spraying impeller 6 and a liquid distributor 8, wherein:

[0072] The water-pumping impeller 6 is located at the bottom of the condenser assembly;

[0073] The liquid distributor 8 is arranged on the condenser assembly.

[0074] Furthermore, the condenser assembly includes two sets of fins arranged side by side; the water impeller 6 and the liquid distributor 8 are both located between the two sets of fins.

[0075] The air conditioner range hood provided by this invention solves the problem of condensate water consumption by allowing the position of the water pump motor to be adjusted in real time and ensuring that the condensate water already dispersed above can be evenly distributed on the fins, thus avoiding the problem of excessive condensate water overflowing.

[0076] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the overall assembly method of the water pumping component in the air conditioner range hood is as follows: First, the entire water pumping component is fixed to the air conditioner base shell 1 in the housing assembly by screws or other means. The entire water pumping component includes a slide rail box 7, a slide rail motor 3, a gear 4, a water pumping motor 5, and a water pumping impeller 6. The condenser 2 is also fixed to the air conditioner base shell 1 by screws or other means. The condenser 2 includes two rows of fins, with copper tubes inserted between the fins. The water pumping impeller 6 is positioned between the two rows of fins. The air conditioner base shell 1 has a groove pressed into place directly opposite the water pumping impeller 6 to collect condensate. A liquid distributor 8 is installed on the condenser 2, also positioned between the two rows of fins.

[0077] Example 1

[0078] The water pumping component structure in the air conditioner range hood of this invention is as follows: Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the slide rail motor 3, gear 4, water-spraying motor 5, and water-spraying impeller 6 are all mounted on the slide rail box 7. The specific structure of the slide rail box 7 is as follows: Figure 6 , 7As shown in the cross-sectional view, the leftmost side of the guide rail box 7 has a first guide rail 7.1, which is used to fix and limit the slide rail motor 3, ensuring that the slide rail motor 3 can only move forward and backward in one direction during operation. The left side of the groove in the guide rail box 7 has a rack 7.3 structure, which engages with the gear 4. The right side of the groove in the guide rail box 7 has a second guide rail 7.2, which is used to fix and limit the water pump motor 5, ensuring that the water pump motor 5 can also only move forward and backward in one direction during operation. The overall assembly method is as follows: the slide rail motor 3 is mounted on the guide rail box 7 via the first guide rail 7.1; the gear 4 is fixed to the slide rail motor 3 and meshes with the rack 7.3 of the guide rail box 7; one end of the water pump motor 5 is pin-connected to the gear 4; the bottom is fixed to the second guide rail 7.2; and the water pump impeller 6 is mounted on the shaft of the water pump motor 5. When the air conditioner is working, the water pump motor 5 drives the water pumping impeller 6 to rotate, splashing the condensate at the bottom onto the fins of the condenser 2. The slide rail motor 3 drives the gear 4 to rotate and roll back and forth along the direction of the rack 7.3, thereby moving the slide rail motor 3 and the water pump motor 5 back and forth on the guide rail, thus making the water pumping position of the water pump motor 5 adjustable. Compared with the prior art, this allows the water pump motor 5 to have more sufficient contact with the condensate, and the water pump motor 5 can be adjusted to move to the most suitable center position for water pumping. The high-speed rotating and moving water pumping impeller 6 also has a better water pumping effect and a faster rate of condensate consumption. In addition, the adjustable water pump motor 5 can be controlled to move to the outermost end during installation or disassembly, that is, the best installation and disassembly position, without having to reach into the inner cavity for disassembly, which facilitates the maintenance of the water pump motor.

[0079] In addition, to ensure that the condensate agitated by the water pump 5 makes more thorough contact with the condenser fins, the following improvement scheme is proposed: Figure 8 As shown, a liquid distributor 8 is installed between the two rows of fins of the condenser 2, with its installation height positioned relatively high on the condenser fins. The structure of the liquid distributor is as follows: Figure 9 , 10As shown, the bottom of the distributor 8 has an opening as a water inlet 8.3, allowing the portion of condensate that the pumping motor 5 cannot reach the fins to enter. A water inlet tray 8.2 surrounds the water inlet 8.3, collecting the condensate entering through it. Multiple evenly arranged water guide holes, or water guide holes 8.1, are located on the side walls at both ends of the distributor 8. These guide holes direct the condensate from the water inlet tray 8.2 outwards along the water guide holes 8.1, which are directly aligned with the condenser fins on both sides. When the pumping motor 5 pumps up the condensate, the gap between the two rows of fins, where no fins are in contact with the condensate, will fall directly back into the groove of the air conditioner's bottom casing 1. The distributor 8 collects the condensate that cannot reach the fins and directs it along the water guide holes on both sides, allowing it to re-engage with the condenser fins on both sides in a fully and even manner. Compared with existing technologies, this structure not only increases the rate of condensate consumption, but also allows the fins that are difficult to come into contact with condensate to be sprayed with condensate, which also improves the cooling rate of the fins.

[0080] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
