Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a water-consuming device, a condensing component, an air conditioning unit, an air conditioning range hood, and a control method. Background Technology

[0002] The kitchen is the main place where people cook, and the quality of the kitchen air environment directly affects people's cooking experience. Therefore, various air-conditioning range hoods have emerged. Air-conditioning range hoods combine two systems: a range hood unit and an air conditioning unit. When the ambient temperature is high, they can cool the kitchen air, and when the ambient temperature is low, they can provide hot air to the kitchen, thereby effectively regulating the ambient temperature of the kitchen and improving the user's cooking comfort.

[0003] However, since kitchens often do not have condensate drain holes, the condensate produced by the air conditioner range hood during operation is difficult to drain. Excess condensate will reduce the cooling effect of the air conditioner range hood, which will affect the further promotion of the air conditioner range hood. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a water-consuming device, a condensation component, an air conditioning unit, an air conditioning range hood, and a control method to address the problem of difficult drainage of condensate from air conditioning range hoods.

[0006] Water supply tank;

[0007] A water-spraying wheel is rotatably mounted above the water delivery trough, and the water-spraying wheel portion is located within the water delivery trough; and

[0008] At least one water spraying component is mounted on the water spray wheel and rotates synchronously with the water spray wheel. The movement path of each water spraying component passes through the water delivery trough, and each water spraying component can be controlled to rotate relative to the water spray wheel.

[0009] In one embodiment, the water-consuming device includes a plurality of water delivery troughs and a plurality of water spray wheels. All the water delivery troughs are arranged at intervals along the direction of gravity, and all the water spray wheels are arranged at intervals along the direction of gravity. Each water delivery trough is provided with a corresponding water spray wheel above it.

[0010] In one embodiment, the water tank extends downward at an angle.

[0011] In one embodiment, each of the water sprayers is provided with a plurality of water spraying elements, and all the water spraying elements located on the same water sprayer are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the water sprayer.

[0012] In one embodiment, the water-consuming device further includes at least one driving member, which is mounted on the water spray wheel, and each driving member is connected to a corresponding water spray component to drive the water spray component to rotate.

[0013] In one embodiment, the water-consuming device further includes a detection module and at least one detected component. The detection module is located above the water-sprinkling wheel, and each detected component is installed on the water-sprinkling wheel and is correspondingly disposed on one side of one of the water-sprinkling components.

[0014] The detection module is used to detect the real-time position of each of the tested components.

[0015] In one embodiment, the detection module includes a first detection point, a second detection point, and a third detection point, which are spaced apart in a radial direction of the sprinkler wheel.

[0016] A condensation assembly includes a condenser and the aforementioned water-consuming device, wherein the water-consuming device is installed on the condenser.

[0017] An air conditioning unit includes the above-mentioned condenser assembly, and the air conditioning unit further includes:

[0018] A drip tray is located below the condenser; and

[0019] The pumping unit is connected at one end to the water receiving tray and at the other end to at least one of the water conveying tanks.

[0020] In one embodiment, the pumping unit includes a delivery pump and a delivery pipeline. The inlet of the delivery pump is connected to the water receiving tray, the outlet of the delivery pump is connected to one end of the delivery pipeline, and the other end of the delivery pipeline is connected to the water supply tank of the water-consuming device.

[0021] In one embodiment, the water-consuming device includes a plurality of water delivery tanks, all of which are spaced apart along the direction of gravity, and the pumping unit is connected to the uppermost water delivery tank in the direction of gravity.

[0022] An air-conditioning range hood includes the aforementioned air conditioning unit.

[0023] A method for controlling the above-mentioned water-consuming device includes the following steps:

[0024] Obtain the position of the sprinkler component;

[0025] The rotational speed of the water spraying component relative to the water spray wheel is controlled according to the position of the water spraying component.

[0026] In one embodiment, when the sprinkler is located in the water delivery trough, the rotational speed of the sprinkler relative to the sprinkler wheel is zero;

[0027] When the water spraying component is located on the side of the water spraying wheel away from the water delivery trough, the rotational speed of the water spraying component relative to the water spraying wheel is greater than zero.

[0028] In one embodiment, the water spraying component follows the water spraying wheel and moves sequentially between the starting position, the first switching position, the second switching position, and the third switching position;

[0030] When the water spraying component moves from the starting position to the first switching position, the water spraying component rotates relative to the water spraying wheel at a first preset speed;

[0031] When the water spraying component moves from the first switching position to the second switching position, the water spraying component rotates relative to the water spraying wheel at a second preset speed;

[0032] When the water spraying component is switched from the second switching position to the third switching position, the rotational speed of the water spraying component relative to the water spray wheel is zero;

[0033] Wherein, the first preset rotation speed is greater than the second preset rotation speed.

[0034] In the aforementioned water-consuming device, the spray wheel rotates under the propulsion of the water flow in the water tank, and the spray nozzles rotate synchronously with the spray wheel to different positions. During the rotation of the spray nozzles, they absorb the condensate in the water tank as they pass through it, and rotate relative to the spray wheel as they leave the water tank to spray the condensate onto the condenser, thereby reducing the temperature of the condenser and consuming the condensate. Ultimately, this improves the cooling effect of the air conditioning unit equipped with this water-consuming device. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0044] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0045] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0046] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0048] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0049] See Figure 1 This application provides an air-conditioning range hood, including an air conditioning unit 100 and a range hood unit connected to each other. The range hood unit is used to absorb cooking fumes in the cooking environment, and the air conditioning unit 100 is used to regulate the temperature of the cooking environment. The specific structure of the range hood unit is not a key inventive point of this application, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The air conditioning unit 100 includes a condenser assembly 20, an evaporator 40, a drip tray 60, and a water pumping unit 70. The condenser assembly 20 and the evaporator 40 are arranged adjacent to each other in the horizontal direction. The drip tray 60 is located below the condenser assembly 20 and the evaporator 40. The condenser assembly 20 includes a condenser 21 and a water-consuming device 23. Condensate generated by the evaporator 40 during operation falls into the drip tray 60. The water pumping unit 70 pumps the condensate from the drip tray 60 into the water-consuming device 23, which then sprays the condensate onto the condenser 21 to cool it. In a preferred embodiment, the condenser assembly 20 includes two adjacent condensers 21, and the water-consuming device 23 is located between the two condensers 21 and installed on one of them.

[0051] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water-consuming device 23 includes a water delivery trough 231, a water spray wheel 232, and at least one water spraying element 233. The water delivery trough 231 is installed on the condenser 21. The water spray wheel 232 is rotatably disposed above the water delivery trough 231, with a portion of the water spray wheel 232 located within the water delivery trough 231. The water spraying element 233 is installed on the water spray wheel 232 and rotates synchronously with it. The movement path of the water spraying element 233 is partially located within the water delivery trough 231, and each water spraying element 233 can be controlled to rotate relative to the water spray wheel 232.

[0052] In this way, the pumping unit 70 can transport condensate to the water tank 231, and the spray wheel 232 can rotate under the push of the water flow in the water tank 231. The spraying component 233 rotates synchronously with the spray wheel 232 to different positions. During the rotation of the spraying component 233, the spraying component 233 can absorb the condensate in the water tank 231 when passing through the water tank 231, and rotate relative to the spray wheel 232 when leaving the water tank 231 to spray the condensate onto the condenser 21, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the temperature of the condenser 21, and realizing the consumption of condensate, ultimately improving the cooling effect of the air conditioning unit 100 equipped with the water-consuming device 23.

[0053] In the following embodiments, the height direction of the condenser 21 is defined as the first direction (i.e., Figure 1 The Z-direction in the middle), the length direction of the condenser 21 is the second direction (i.e., Figure 1 The width direction of condenser 21 is the third direction (i.e., the X direction in the X direction). Figure 1 (Y direction in the equation), where the first direction extends along the direction of gravity, and the second and third directions are parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0054] One end of the pumping unit 70 is connected to the water receiving tray 60, and the other end is connected to the water delivery tank 231. The pumping unit 70 can pump out the condensate in the water receiving tray 60 and deliver it to the water delivery tank 231. Specifically, the pumping unit 70 includes a delivery pump 72 and a delivery pipe 74. The inlet end of the delivery pump 72 is connected to the water receiving tray 60, and the outlet end of the delivery pump 72 is connected to one end of the delivery pipe 74. The other end of the delivery pipe 74 is connected to the water delivery tank 231 of the water-consuming device 23.

[0055] The water supply tank 231 is elongated and has an inlet end near one edge of the condenser 21 in the second direction and an outlet end near the other edge of the condenser 21 in the second direction. The water supply tank 231 extends downward at an angle from the inlet end to the outlet end, and the height of the inlet end of the water supply tank 231 is higher than the height of the outlet end. One end of the conveying pipe 74 can be connected to the inlet end of the water supply tank 231.

[0056] Thus, the delivery pump 72 can extract the condensate from the water receiving tray 60 and enter the inlet end of the water delivery tank 231 through the delivery pipe 74. Since the water delivery tank 231 extends at an angle, the condensate automatically flows from the inlet end of the water delivery tank 231 to the outlet end under the action of gravity, thereby driving the sprinkler wheel 232 extending into it to rotate without needing to provide additional kinetic energy for the rotation of the sprinkler wheel 232.

[0057] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the water spray wheel 232 is rotatably mounted on the condenser 21. The central axis of the water spray wheel 232 is parallel to a third direction, and the bottom of the water spray wheel 232 is located in the water delivery tank 231. Therefore, the water spray wheel 232 can rotate under the push of the water flow in the water delivery tank 231. Further, the water spray wheel 232 includes a central mounting part 2321 and a plurality of gear teeth 2323. The central mounting part 2321 is rotatably mounted on the condenser 21 via a rotating shaft. The plurality of gear teeth 2323 are spaced apart and evenly arranged circumferentially along the central mounting part 2321. One end of each gear tooth 2323 is connected to the central mounting part 2321, and the other end extends outward along the radial direction of the central mounting part 2321.

[0058] The water-consuming device 23 also includes at least one drive member 234, which is mounted on the end of the tooth 2323 of the sprinkler wheel 232 away from the central mounting portion 2321. Each drive member 234 is connected to a sprinkler component 233 to drive the sprinkler component 233 to rotate. In a preferred embodiment, the drive member 234 is a high-speed motor capable of outputting torque, and one drive member 234 is mounted on each tooth 2323, so all drive members 234 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sprinkler wheel 232.

[0059] Each sprinkler component 233 is mounted on the output shaft of a drive component 234. Therefore, all sprinkler components 233 on the same sprinkler wheel 232 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sprinkler wheel 232. The sprinkler components 233 are formed by a porous structure such as a sponge, so they can absorb a certain amount of condensate. When the sprinkler components 233 rotate at high speed under the drive of the drive component 234, the condensate stored in the sprinkler components 233 can be thrown outward onto the condenser 21 under centrifugal force.

[0060] In some embodiments, the water-consuming device 23 includes a plurality of water delivery troughs 231 and a plurality of water spray wheels 232. All water delivery troughs 231 are arranged at intervals along the direction of gravity, and the inclination directions of two adjacent water delivery troughs 231 are opposite. All water spray wheels 232 are arranged at intervals along the direction of gravity (i.e., the first direction), and each water spray wheel 232 is correspondingly disposed above a water delivery trough 231. The pumping unit 70 is connected to the uppermost water delivery trough 231 in the direction of gravity. In this way, the pumping unit 70 can pump out the condensate in the water receiving tray 60 and transport it to the uppermost water delivery trough 231. The condensate can flow through the upper water delivery trough 231 and fall into the lower water delivery trough 231, and finally return to the water receiving tray 60 from the lower water delivery trough 231.

[0061] In one specific embodiment, the water-consuming device 23 includes two water delivery troughs 231 and two water spray wheels 232. The two water delivery troughs 231 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, and the upper water delivery trough 231 extends downward from right to left, while the lower water delivery trough 231 extends downward from left to right. The pumping unit 70 is connected to the right outlet end of the upper water delivery trough 231.

[0062] Thus, the condensate flowing from the pumping unit 70 enters the water delivery tank 231 and flows from right to left to the outlet end of the water delivery tank 231 under the action of gravity. The sprinkler wheel 232 located above rotates clockwise under the push of the water flow. The water in the upper water delivery tank 231 falls to the inlet end of the lower water delivery tank 231 and then flows from left to right to the water receiving tray 60. The sprinkler wheel 232 located below rotates counterclockwise under the push of the water flow.

[0063] In some embodiments, the water-consuming device 23 further includes a control module 235, a detection module 236, and at least one detected component 237. The detection module 236 is located above the sprinkler wheel 232 and is communicatively connected to the control module 235. Each detected component 237 is installed on the sprinkler wheel 232 and is correspondingly located on one side of a sprinkler component 233. When the detected component 237 is within the detection area of ​​the detection module 236, the detection module 236 is triggered and sends a feedback signal to the control module 235 according to a certain triggering frequency. The control module 235 can control the rotation speed of the corresponding sprinkler component 233 relative to the sprinkler wheel 232 according to the feedback signal.

[0064] Please combine Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some specific embodiments, the detection module 236 includes a first detection point 2361, a second detection point 2363, and a third detection point 2365, which are arranged sequentially at intervals in a radial direction of the sprinkler wheel 232. In a preferred embodiment, the first detection point 2361, the second detection point 2363, and the third detection point 2365 are arranged at intervals in a second direction. When the detected component 237 is located directly below the first detection point 2361, the second detection point 2363, or the third detection point 2365, the first detection point 2361, the second detection point 2363, and the third detection point 2365 can be triggered to generate a trigger signal. This trigger signal is then selectively fed back to the control module 235, thereby adjusting the rotational speed of the sprinkler component 233 corresponding to the detected component 237 relative to the sprinkler wheel 232.

[0065] Specifically, the first detection point 2361 provides feedback at an odd number of triggers, the second detection point 2363 provides feedback at a single trigger, and the third detection point 2365 provides feedback at an even number of triggers. The sprinkler component 233 cyclically moves between the starting position a, the first switching position b1, the first transition position b2, the second switching position c, the third transition position d1, and the third switching position d2.

[0066] When the water sprayer 233 is in the starting position a, the corresponding detection component 237 is located directly below the second detection point 2363 and in the water supply tank 231. Due to the influence of condensate, the second detection point 2363 cannot detect the detection component 237 normally, so it does not send a trigger signal to the control module 235.

[0067] When the sprinkler component 233 is in the first switching position b1, the corresponding detection component 237 is located directly below the first detection point 2361 and outside the water supply tank 231. The second detection point 2363 detects the detection component 237 and generates a trigger signal. Since the second detection point 2363 provides feedback at an odd number of triggers, the second detection point 2363 sends the trigger signal to the control module 235. The control module 235 controls the sprinkler component 233 in the first switching position b1 to rotate relative to the sprinkler wheel 232 at a first preset speed.

[0068] When the sprinkler component 233 is in the first transition position b2, the corresponding detection component 237 is located directly below the first detection point 2361 and outside the water supply tank 231. The second detection point 2363 detects the detection component 237 and generates a trigger signal. Since the second detection point 2363 provides feedback at an odd number of triggers, it does not send the trigger signal to the control module 235. The sprinkler component 233 in the first transition position b2 still rotates relative to the sprinkler wheel 232 at the first preset speed.

[0069] When the sprinkler component 233 is in the second switching position c, the corresponding detected component 237 is located directly below the first detection point 2361 and outside the water supply tank 231. The first detection point 2361 detects the detected component 237 and generates a trigger signal. Since the second detection point 2363 provides feedback at a trigger frequency, the first detection point 2361 sends the trigger signal to the control module 235. The control module 235 controls the sprinkler component 233 in the second switching position c to rotate relative to the sprinkler wheel 232 at a second preset speed. The second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed, thus increasing the centrifugal force and causing the sprinkler component 233 to further spray out the condensate inside.

[0070] When the sprinkler component 233 is in the third transition position d1, the corresponding detection component 237 is located directly below the third detection point 2365 and outside the water supply tank 231. The third detection point 2365 detects the detection component 237 and generates a trigger signal. Since the second detection point 2363 provides feedback at an even number of triggers, it does not send a trigger signal to the control module 235. The sprinkler component 233 in the third transition position d1 still rotates relative to the sprinkler wheel 232 at the second preset speed.

[0071] When the sprinkler component 233 is in the third switching position d2, the corresponding detected component 237 is located directly below the third detection point 2365 and outside the water supply tank 231. The third detection point 2365 detects the detected component 237 and generates a trigger signal. Since the third detection point 2365 provides feedback at an even number of triggers, the third detection point 2365 sends the trigger signal to the control module 235. The control module 235 controls the sprinkler component 233 in the third switching position d2 to stop rotating relative to the sprinkler wheel 232.

[0072] Thus, when the water spraying component 233 is located within the water delivery trough 231, it remains stationary relative to the water spray wheel 232 to fully absorb the condensate. When the water spraying component 233 moves away from the water delivery trough 231, it can rotate at a speed that gradually increases to fully spray out the condensate, achieving a uniform heat dissipation effect.

[0073] This application also provides a control method for a water-consuming device 23, including the following steps:

[0074] S110: Obtain the position of sprinkler component 233.

[0075] Specifically, when the detected component 237 corresponding to the water sprinkler component 233 rotates to below each detection point of the detection module 236, the detection point is triggered by the detected component 237 to generate a trigger signal, thereby obtaining the position of each water sprinkler component 233.

[0076] S120: Control the rotation speed of the water sprinkler 233 relative to the water sprinkler wheel 232 according to the position of the water sprinkler 233.

[0077] Specifically, when the water spraying component 233 is located inside the water delivery trough 231, the rotation speed of the water spraying component 233 is zero, allowing the water spraying component 233 to fully absorb the condensate in the water delivery trough 231. When the water spraying component 233 is located on the side of the water spraying wheel 232 away from the water delivery trough 231, the rotation speed of the water spraying component 233 is greater than zero, thus allowing the condensate to be evenly sprayed onto the condenser 21 to ensure uniform heat dissipation from the condenser 21.

[0078] More specifically, during one revolution of the water spray wheel 232, each water spray component 233 cyclically moves between the starting position a, the first switching position b1, the first transition position b2, the second switching position c, the third transition position d1, and the third switching position d2. The first detection point 2361 provides feedback at an odd number of triggering frequencies, the second detection point 2363 provides feedback at a single triggering frequency, and the third detection point 2365 provides feedback at an even number of triggering frequencies.

[0079] When the water sprinkler 233 is in the starting position, the water sprinkler 233 is located in the water delivery trough 231. Therefore, the second detection point 2363 cannot detect the corresponding detected part 237, so no trigger signal is generated. At this time, the water sprinkler 233 is stationary relative to the water wheel 232.

[0080] When the water sprinkler 233 is in the first switching position b1, the water sprinkler 233 leaves the water supply tank 231, and the corresponding detection component 237 is located below the first detection point 2361, causing the first detection point 2361 to generate a trigger signal. Since the first detection point 2361 provides feedback at an odd number of triggers, the first detection point 2361 sends the trigger signal to the control module 235, and the control module 235 controls the water sprinkler 233 to rotate relative to the water wheel 232 at a first preset speed.

[0081] When the water sprinkler 233 is in the first transition position b2, the water sprinkler 233 is outside the water delivery trough 231, and the corresponding detection component 237 is below the first detection point 2361, causing the first detection point 2361 to generate a trigger signal. Since the first detection point 2361 provides feedback at an odd number of trigger frequencies, the first detection point 2361 does not provide a trigger signal. Therefore, the water sprinkler 233 maintains a first preset speed and rotates relative to the water sprinkler wheel 232.

[0082] When the water sprinkler 233 is in the second switching position c, the water sprinkler 233 is located outside the water supply trough 231, and the corresponding detection component 237 is located below the second detection point 2363, causing the first detection point 2361 to generate a trigger signal. The second detection point 2363 feeds back the trigger signal to the control module 235, and the control module 235 controls the water sprinkler 233 to rotate relative to the water wheel 232 at a second preset speed.

[0083] When the water sprinkler 233 is in the third transition position d1, the water sprinkler 233 is outside the water delivery trough 231, and the corresponding detection component 237 is below the third detection point 2365, causing the third detection point 2365 to generate a trigger signal. Since the third detection point 2365 provides feedback at an even number of trigger frequencies, the third detection point 2365 does not provide a trigger signal. Therefore, the water sprinkler 233 maintains the second preset speed and rotates relative to the water sprinkler wheel 232.

[0084] When the water sprinkler 233 is in the third switching position d2, the water sprinkler 233 is located outside the water delivery trough 231, and the corresponding detection component 237 is located below the third detection point 2365, causing the third detection point 2365 to generate a trigger signal. The third detection point 2365 feeds back the trigger signal, and the control module 235 controls the water sprinkler 233 to be stationary relative to the water wheel 232.

[0085] Finally, the sprinkler component 233 returns to the starting position a. The sprinkler component 233 is located in the water delivery tank 231. Therefore, the second detection point 2363 cannot detect the corresponding detected component 237, so no trigger signal is generated. At this time, the sprinkler component 233 is stationary relative to the sprinkler wheel 232.

[0086] The second preset speed is greater than the first preset speed, thus allowing the sprinkler component 233 to spray out more condensate, thereby achieving a uniform heat dissipation effect. Since the sprinkler component 233 does not rotate relative to the sprinkler wheel 232 within the water delivery tank 231, it can fully absorb the condensate in the water receiving tray 60.

[0087] The aforementioned water-consuming device 23, condenser assembly 20, air conditioning unit 100, and control method achieve good heat dissipation and cooling by evenly spraying condensate onto the condenser assembly 20, effectively reducing the temperature of the condenser assembly 20. At the same time, it makes full use of the condensate generated by the evaporator 40 during operation, without the need for other drainage structures, thus making full use of energy.

[0088] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above 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.

[0089] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
