[0002] At present, when the air conditioner is in operation, the condensed water produced by the condenser on the outdoor side slides down the fins and gathers in the chassis. Due to usage requirements, the condensed water on the outdoor side of the integral air conditioner does not require the installation of water pipes. The condensed water is recovered by setting up a water tank. When the condensed water in the water tank reaches a certain amount, the air conditioner will issue a full water alarm message. At this time, the user takes out the water tank and pours out the condensed water directly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0041] As mentioned in the background technology, most of the existing window air conditioners are provided with a separate detachable water tank for recovering the condensed water in the chassis. When the condensed water storage in the water tank reaches the upper limit, the user is reminded to pour out the condensed water in the water tank. However, when the user disassembles the water tank and carries it, the water tank will shake, and the condensed water inside will shake to the gap between the box body and the box cover, such as Fig.18 and Fig.19 As shown, the sealing between the box body and the box cover is insufficient, causing condensed water to overflow and drip onto the chassis or the ground, affecting the user experience. Therefore, in response to the above-mentioned technical problems, the storage structure provided by the present application has a first sealing portion 200 arranged in the storage cavity 110 of the box body 100, and a second sealing portion 400 arranged on the cover body 300. The first sealing portion 200 and the second sealing portion 400 cooperate with each other to seal the liquid in the storage cavity 110. Specifically, the first sealing portion 200 protrudes from the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110 toward the middle of the storage cavity 110. When the liquid shakes in the storage cavity 110, the first sealing portion 200 blocks the liquid and causes it to flow back. Furthermore, the second sealing portion 400 is arranged on the cover body 300 and fits the box body 100. In this way, when the liquid overflows to the cover body 300, the second sealing portion 400 blocks the liquid and causes it to flow back. In this way, multi-stage sealing of the liquid in the storage cavity 110 is achieved, thereby enhancing the sealing effect of the storage structure and preventing the liquid in the storage cavity 110 from overflowing.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 17 The present application provides a storage structure for storing liquid, and the storage structure includes: a box body 100, wherein the box body 100 has a storage cavity 110 for storing liquid; a first sealing portion 200, which is arranged on the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110 and is located at the top of the storage cavity 110, and the first sealing portion 200 protrudes from the inner wall surface toward the middle of the storage cavity 110; a cover body 300, which is covered on the box body 100; a second sealing portion 400, which is arranged on the cover body 300, and at least a part of the second sealing portion 400 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110, and the second sealing portion 400 is a multi-layer structure, so as to block the liquid through the second sealing portion 400.

[0043] According to the storage structure provided in the present application, it is used to store liquid, wherein the storage structure includes a box body 100, a first sealing portion 200, a cover body 300 and a second sealing portion 400, and the box body 100 has a storage cavity 110 for storing liquid; the first sealing portion 200 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110 and is located at the top of the storage cavity 110, and the first sealing portion 200 protrudes from the inner wall surface toward the middle of the storage cavity 110; the cover is arranged on the box body 100; the second sealing portion 400 is arranged on the cover body 300, at least a part of the second sealing portion 400 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110, and the second sealing portion 400 is a multi-layer structure to block the liquid through the second sealing portion 400. Such an arrangement can achieve a multi-stage sealing effect for the liquid through the first sealing part 200 and the second sealing part 400. When the first sealing part 200 cannot block some of the liquid, the second sealing part 400 can block the liquid, thereby preventing the liquid inside the storage structure from overflowing when it is shaken during transportation.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, the storage structure further includes: a third sealing portion 500, which is arranged on the box body 100 and located on a side of the box body 100 away from the storage cavity 110, and at least a portion of the cover body 300 is arranged opposite to the third sealing portion 500. By providing the third sealing portion 500, and the third sealing portion 500 is located on a side of the box body 100 away from the storage cavity 110, the liquid is further sealed. After passing through the second sealing portion 400, part of the liquid can enter the third sealing portion 500, and under the blocking effect of the third sealing portion 500, it flows back into the storage cavity 110.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the third sealing part 500 includes: a reflux cavity 510, the cover body 300 is arranged opposite to the reflux cavity 510, at least a portion of the cover body 300 is opposite to the reflux cavity 510, so as to form a sealed cavity 520 between the reflux cavity 510 and the cover body 300; the sealed cavity 520 is communicated with the storage cavity 110. After part of the liquid passes through the second sealing part 400, it flows into the sealed cavity 520, and flows back from the sealed cavity 520 to the storage cavity 110, thereby preventing the liquid from overflowing.

[0046] In the specific implementation process, the box body 100 includes: a side plate 120, which is used to enclose the storage cavity 110, and the second sealing part 400 is attached to the side plate 120; an extension plate 130, which is arranged on the side of the side plate 120 away from the storage cavity 110, and the extension plate 130 is bent along a predetermined track, and the reflux cavity 510 is arranged between the extension plate 130 and the side plate 120. By setting the extension plate 130, the reflux cavity 510 is formed between the extension plate 130 and the side plate 120, so that a sealing structure can be set outside the storage cavity 110, and when the liquid reaches the reflux cavity 510, since the reflux cavity 510 has enough space, the liquid can flow back into the storage cavity 110.

[0047] In the present application, the side plate 120 includes: a first plate segment 121 and a second plate segment 122 connected to each other, and the second sealing portion 400 is attached to the first plate segment 121; the storage structure also includes: a communication channel 600, which is arranged on the second plate segment 122, and the sealing cavity 520 is connected to the storage cavity 110 through the communication channel 600. In this way, when the liquid flows into the sealing cavity 520 after passing through the second sealing portion 400, as shown in FIG. Fig.14 and Fig.15 As shown, the liquid in the sealed cavity 520 can be discharged through the communication channel 600 to avoid accumulation of liquid in the sealed cavity 520 .

[0048] Preferably, the extension plate 130 extends along the circumferential direction of the side plate 120; there are multiple communication channels 600, and the multiple communication channels 600 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the side plate 120. In this way, the use of multiple communication channels 600 can speed up the outflow speed of the liquid in the sealed cavity 520 and prevent the liquid from accumulating in the sealed cavity 520.

[0049] In the specific implementation process, the extension plate 130 includes: an extension plate segment 131 and a bent plate segment 132 connected to each other, the extension plate segment 131 is connected to the side plate 120, the bent plate segment 132 is arranged opposite to the side plate 120, and the reflux chamber 510 is arranged between the extension plate segment 131, the bent plate segment 132 and the side plate 120; wherein, the extension plate segment 131 is inclined toward the bottom direction of the storage chamber 110. In this arrangement, the inclined extension plate segment 131 is used to guide the liquid in the sealed chamber 520, so that the liquid in the sealed chamber 520 flows into the storage chamber 110 through the connecting channel 600 under the action of gravity. Preferably, the inclination angle of the extension plate segment 131 is 40° to 50°.

[0050] In addition, if Fig.17As shown, after the liquid in the storage chamber 110 enters the sealed chamber 520 through the connecting channel 600, the liquid entering the sealed chamber 520 can directly flow back into the storage chamber 110 through the connecting channel 600 due to the inclined arrangement of the extending plate segment 131, and the extending plate segment 131 can prevent the liquid from continuing to flow upward. Preferably, the flow cross section of the connecting channel 600 is in a polygonal or circular structure to facilitate the flow of the liquid.

[0051] In the embodiment provided in the present application, the first sealing portion 200 includes: a blocking platform 210, which protrudes from the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110 toward the middle of the storage cavity 110, and the blocking platform 210 extends along the circumferential direction of the storage cavity 110. Figure 6 As shown, the liquid in the storage chamber 110 is blocked by the blocking platform 210. When the liquid level reaches the lower water level line, the blocking platform 210 is used to prevent the liquid level from shaking and overflowing.

[0052] Furthermore, if Fig. 9 As shown, the box body 100 includes: a side plate 120, which is used to enclose the storage cavity 110. The side plate 120 includes a top plate section 123, a blocking plate section 124 and a bottom plate section 125 connected to each other. The blocking plate section 124 extends from the bottom plate section 125 toward the middle of the storage cavity 110 to form a blocking platform 210. The second sealing part 400 is in contact with the top plate section 123. This arrangement enables the first sealing part 200, the second sealing part 400 and the third sealing part 500 to cooperate with each other to achieve step-by-step sealing. When the first sealing part 200 fails, the liquid is blocked by the second sealing part 400 and the third sealing part 500, and the liquid flowing into the third sealing part 500 will still flow back through the connecting channel 600, so that no matter whether the water level is at the low level line or the high level line, the sealing effect of the liquid can be achieved.

[0053] In the specific implementation process, Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the second sealing part 400 includes: at least two baffles 410, at least two baffles 410 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the cover body 300 to form a multi-layer structure, and each baffle 410 is inclined toward the bottom direction of the storage cavity 110. The angle between each baffle 410 and the horizontal plane is 15° to 20°; and / or, the vertical distance between two adjacent baffles 410 is 2mm to 6mm. So that water flow or water droplets slide down naturally, each baffle 410 is used to achieve a step-by-step blocking effect on the liquid, thereby improving the sealing performance of the storage structure.

[0054] The storage structure of the present application solves the problem of water overflowing and sliding through the gap between the top of the water tank and the water tank cover during the water tank extraction process in the window air conditioner (or heat exchange equipment) in the prior art without adding materials such as silicone rubber.

[0055] Since the Hall water level sensing device is directly affected by the strength of the magnetic force of the float magnet during operation, the time cycle of the instructions issued is fast or slow, making the condensed water level inside the water tank higher or lower. In addition, the user is affected by the force when pumping water from the water tank, which will also cause the condensed water to splash upward at different heights during the left and right or front and back rippling process. Therefore, a variety of solutions are formulated for the different situations that may be involved above.

[0056] Specifically:

[0057] The water tank is innovatively provided with a water retaining boss (first sealing part 200), an overflow groove structure (third sealing part 500), and the water tank cover is innovatively provided with two layers of water retaining ribs (second sealing part 400). The purpose is to solve the overflow problem encountered by users during the water tank extraction process through structural innovation in the product without increasing materials (such as: silicone rubber) and assembly production costs.

[0058] Water retaining bosses are set around the inner wall of the water tank. When the condensed water level in the water tank is low (within 10mm of the bosses), the condensed water in the water tank ripples left and right or front and back during the user's extraction of water from the water tank, generating water flow or water droplets splashing upwards. When the condensed water contacts the bosses, it will be blocked and flow back into the water tank;

[0059] Two layers of water retaining ribs are set on the side walls around the water tank cover. When the condensed water level in the water tank is flush with or higher than the water retaining rib, the condensed water in the water tank ripples left and right or front and back during the user's extraction of water from the water tank, producing water flows or water droplets splashing upwards. At this time, the condensed water level in the water tank is higher than the water retaining ribs set around the inner side walls of the water tank, and they are no longer useful. When the condensed water continues to splash upwards and contacts the first layer of water retaining ribs, most of it is blocked and flows back into the water tank, while a small amount of condensed water is blocked by the second layer of water retaining ribs and flows back into the water tank.

[0060] Overflow grooves are arranged around the top edge of the water tank. When the two layers of water retaining ribs cannot completely block the condensed water splashing upward, the condensed water will overflow from the gap between the water tank and the water tank cover and slide into the overflow groove. The splashed condensed water is collected by the overflow groove and then flows out through a plurality of small square holes or small round holes (connecting channel 600) arranged in the overflow groove and then returns to the inside of the water tank. This prevents the condensed water from splashing or sliding onto the outer side of the water tank or even dripping onto the window sill or the floor of the room.

[0061] The present application also provides an air conditioner, including a storage structure, the storage structure is used to store condensed water, and the storage structure is the storage structure of the above embodiment.

[0062] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0063] According to the storage structure provided in the present application, it is used to store liquid, wherein the storage structure includes a box body 100, a first sealing portion 200, a cover body 300 and a second sealing portion 400, and the box body 100 has a storage cavity 110 for storing liquid; the first sealing portion 200 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110 and is located at the top of the storage cavity 110, and the first sealing portion 200 protrudes from the inner wall surface toward the middle of the storage cavity 110; the cover is arranged on the box body 100; the second sealing portion 400 is arranged on the cover body 300, at least a part of the second sealing portion 400 is in contact with the inner wall surface of the storage cavity 110, and the second sealing portion 400 is a multi-layer structure to block the liquid through the second sealing portion 400. Such an arrangement can achieve a multi-stage sealing effect for the liquid through the first sealing part 200 and the second sealing part 400. When the first sealing part 200 cannot block some of the liquid, the second sealing part 400 can block the liquid, thereby preventing the liquid inside the storage structure from overflowing when it is shaken during transportation.
