[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a hanging machine base and an air conditioner. BACKGROUND
[0002] Air conditioners are gradually becoming essential household appliances in people's daily life. Especially in the hot summer, people are very dependent on air conditioners. However, the air conditioner in the prior art often blows water with the wind when running in the cooling mode, which brings people a very bad use experience. SUMMARY
[0003] The first object of the present application is to provide a hanging machine base to solve the technical problem of water blowing out of the air conditioner in the prior art.
[0004] The hanging machine base provided by the present application is provided with an air duct, the outer side of the air duct is provided with a water channel, the water channel includes a side water channel and a rear water channel, the rear water channel is communicated with the side water channel, the rear water channel is located at the rear side of the rear wall of the air duct, and the water in the rear water channel is discharged through the side water channel; the bottom wall of the side water channel is provided with a water blocking rib, and along the flow direction of the condensed water, the water blocking rib has a first end and a second end, the first end is connected with the rear wall of the air duct, and the second end is spaced apart from the side wall of the air duct, and the water blocking rib and the side wall form a spacing cavity.
[0005] The hanging machine base provided by the present application can produce the following beneficial effects:
[0006] The hanging machine base provided by the present application is provided with a water blocking rib in the side water channel, and the condensed water from the rear water channel will be blocked and drained by the water blocking rib when flowing through the side water channel, so as to avoid contact with the side wall of the air duct, thereby effectively avoiding the temperature reduction of the side wall of the air duct due to contact with the condensed water, and further reducing or avoiding the phenomenon that the inside of the side wall of the air duct produces condensed water and is even blown out with the wind. In addition, the blocking and draining effect of the water blocking rib on the condensed water can also effectively avoid the impact of the condensed water on the side wall of the air duct.
[0007] Further, the bottom wall is at least partially inclined downward; along the flow direction of the condensed water, the portion of the bottom wall inclined downward is provided with at least one slow flow step.
[0008] Under this technical scheme, the condensed water flowing along the bottom wall will change the flow direction and slow down the flow rate after reaching the slow flow step, so as to effectively avoid the splashing phenomenon of the condensed water due to too fast flow rate, and also weaken the impact of the condensed water on the bottom of the bottom wall.
[0009] Further, a slot for mounting a bearing mounting seat is arranged in the side water channel; along the flow direction of the condensate water, the water retaining rib and the slot are respectively located at the upstream and downstream of the side water channel; a gap is formed between the second end of the water retaining rib and the slot wall, and the gap forms the flow leakage gap of the interval chamber.
[0010] Under the technical scheme, when the flow of the condensate water is relatively large and flows into the interval chamber after overflowing the water retaining rib, the condensate water can flow out from the flow leakage gap, so that the water accumulation in the interval chamber can be avoided.
[0011] Further, along the left-right direction, the second end of the water retaining rib is arranged close to the end of the slot which is away from the side wall of the air duct.
[0012] Under the technical scheme, the water retaining rib can guide the condensate water away from the slot by the guiding effect, so that the flow of the condensate water can be avoided from being hindered by the slot wall.
[0013] Further, the slot is a rectangular slot; along the left-right direction, the second end of the water retaining rib is arranged close to the slot wall of the slot which is opposite to the side wall of the air duct.
[0014] Further, the slot is provided with a flow leakage opening, the flow leakage opening is arranged on the slot wall of the slot which is opposite to the side wall of the air duct, and the flow leakage opening is used for discharging the water in the slot.
[0015] Under the technical scheme, when the water flows into or splashes into the slot, the water can flow out from the flow leakage opening, so that the water accumulation in the slot can be avoided.
[0016] Further, the flow leakage opening is arranged on the slot wall of the slot which is opposite to the side wall of the air duct.
[0017] Further, the bottom wall is in a "V" shape, and a drain hole is arranged at the lowest part of the bottom wall.
[0018] Under the technical scheme, the shape of the bottom wall is arranged, which is beneficial to the flow of the condensate water to the direction of the drain hole, so that the condensate water can be discharged in time.
[0019] Further, a drain connection pipe is arranged outside the drain hole, the drain connection pipe is arranged in a backward inclination, and the drain connection pipe is used for being connected with a drain pipe.
[0020] Under the technical scheme, when the air conditioner is installed, the drain pipe is connected to the drain connection pipe. Since the drain connection pipe is arranged in a backward inclination, the drain pipe is convenient to extend backward, so that the air conditioner can be arranged close to a wall. During the operation of the air conditioner, the condensate water generated by the air conditioner flows into the drain connection pipe through the drain hole, and then is discharged to the outside or a container through the drain pipe.
[0021] Further, the side water channel is arranged at the left side of the air duct.
[0022] In this technical solution, the side channel is the left channel, and the condensate in the rear channel and the front channel flows from right to left into the left channel and is discharged.
[0023] Furthermore, the waterway also includes a front waterway, which is located in front of the air duct and is connected to the side waterway, with water from the front waterway being discharged through the side waterway.
[0024] Under this technical solution, the front water channel can collect condensate on the components in front of the air duct and discharge it in a timely manner.
[0025] The second objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that solves the technical problem of water blowing out of the air outlet in existing air conditioners.
[0026] The air conditioner provided by this invention includes an indoor unit, which includes the aforementioned wall-mounted base. This air conditioner possesses all the advantages of the aforementioned wall-mounted base, and therefore will not be elaborated upon here. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
[0043] This embodiment provides a wall-mounted phone stand, such as... Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the base 100 is provided with an air duct 110, and a water channel is provided on the outside of the air duct 110. The water channel includes a side water channel 120 and a rear water channel 130. The rear water channel 130 is connected to the side water channel 120 and is located on the rear side of the rear wall of the air duct 110. The water in the rear water channel 130 is discharged through the side water channel 120. The bottom wall 121 of the side water channel 120 is provided with a water-blocking rib 122. Along the flow direction of the condensate, the water-blocking rib 122 has a first end and a second end. The first end is connected to the rear wall of the air duct 110, and the second end is spaced apart from the side wall 111 of the air duct 110. A spacer cavity is formed between the water-blocking rib 122 and the side wall 111.
[0044] The wall-mounted air conditioner base provided in this embodiment has a water-blocking rib 122 installed in its side water channel 120. When condensate from the rear water channel 130 flows through the side water channel 120, it is blocked and guided by the water-blocking rib 122, thus preventing it from contacting the side wall 111 of the air duct 110. This effectively prevents the side wall 111 of the air duct 110 from cooling down due to contact with condensate, thereby reducing or preventing the formation of condensate on the inner side of the side wall 111 of the air duct 110 or even the phenomenon of condensate being blown out by the wind. In addition, the water-blocking and guiding effect of the water-blocking rib 122 can also effectively prevent the condensate from impacting the side wall 111 of the air duct 110.
[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the bottom wall 121 is at least partially inclined downward; along the flow direction of the condensed water, the portion of the bottom wall 121 that is inclined downward is provided with a first-stage slow-flow step 124. In this arrangement, the condensed water flowing along the bottom wall 121 changes its flow direction and slows down after reaching the slow-flow step 124, thereby effectively preventing splashing of the condensed water due to excessive flow speed and reducing the impact of the condensed water on the bottom of the bottom wall 121.
[0046] It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present application, the number of slow-flow steps 124 is not limited to one stage, but can also be two stages, three stages, etc., and the specific number can be set according to the slope of the bottom wall 121: if the slope of the bottom wall 121 is relatively large, several slow-flow steps 124 can be provided on the bottom wall 121, such as two stages or three stages, etc.; and if the slope of the bottom wall 121 is relatively small, fewer slow-flow steps 124 can be provided on the bottom wall 121, such as one stage.
[0047] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The side water channel 120 is also provided with a slot 150 for mounting a bearing seat; along the flow direction of the condensed water, the water baffle 122 and the slot 150 are located upstream and downstream of the side water channel 120, respectively; the second end of the water baffle 122 and the slot wall of the slot 150 have a gap, forming a flow leakage gap 123 of the spacing cavity. In this arrangement, when the flow of condensed water is relatively large and flows over the water baffle 122 and into the spacing cavity, it can flow out from the flow leakage gap 123, thereby avoiding the accumulation of water in the spacing cavity.
[0048] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The second end of the water baffle 122 is located close to one end of the slot 150 that is away from the side wall 111 along the left-right direction. In this arrangement, the water baffle 122 can guide the condensed water away from the slot 150 as much as possible through its guiding effect, thereby avoiding the flow of condensed water being hindered by the slot wall of the slot 150.
[0049] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 The slot 150 is a rectangular slot; along the left-right direction, the second end of the water baffle 122 is located close to the slot wall of the slot 150 that is opposite to the side wall 111 of the air duct 110.
[0050] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the slot 150 is provided with a flow discharge opening 151, the bottom end of which is located at the lowest point of the slot bottom of the slot 150, and the flow discharge opening 151 is used to discharge water in the slot 150. In this arrangement, when water flows into or splashes into the slot 150, it can flow out from the flow discharge opening 151, thereby avoiding the accumulation of water in the slot 150.
[0051] More specifically, in the embodiment, the drain opening 151 is arranged on the slot wall of the slot 150 opposite to the side wall 111 of the air duct 110. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the arrangement position of the drain opening 151 is not limited to this, for example, the drain opening 151 can also be arranged on the slot wall of the slot 150 away from the spacing cavity, as long as the water in the slot 150 can be drained.
[0052] Specifically, in the embodiment, the bottom wall 121 is in a "V" shape, and the lowest part of the bottom wall 121 is provided with a drain hole 125. It should be noted that the "V" shape here is not a strict "V" shape, but is approximately or roughly in a "V" shape, as shown in Figure 7 , and thus arranged, which is conducive to the flow of condensed water to the drain hole 125, thereby facilitating the timely drainage of condensed water.
[0053] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 7 , a drain connector 126 is arranged outside the drain hole 125, and the drain connector 126 is arranged obliquely backward, and the drain connector 126 is used to be connected with a drain pipe. In this arrangement form, when installing the air conditioner, the drain pipe is connected to the drain connector 126. Since the drain connector 126 is arranged obliquely backward, the drain pipe is convenient to extend backward, so as to be arranged close to the wall. During the operation of the air conditioner, the condensed water generated flows into the drain connector 126 through the drain hole 125, and then is drained to the outside or a container through the drain pipe.
[0054] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the water channel further includes a front water channel 140, the front water channel 140 is located on the front side of the air duct 110, and the front water channel 140 is in communication with the side water channel 120, and the water of the front water channel 140 is drained through the side water channel 120. In this arrangement form, the front water channel 140 can collect the condensed water on the components in front of the air duct 110, and drain it in time.
[0055] It should be noted here that in other embodiments of the present application, only the rear water channel 130 or only the front water channel 140 can be arranged; even if both the rear water channel 130 and the front water channel 140 are arranged, only one of them can be in communication with the side water channel 120 and drain the condensed water through the side water channel 120, and the other one can independently drain water or drain water through other water channels.
[0056] Specifically, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , the side water channel 120 is arranged on the left side of the air duct 110. In other words, in the embodiment, the side water channel 120 is a left water channel, and the condensed water in the rear water channel 130 and the front water channel 140 flows from right to left into the left water channel and is drained.
[0057] However, it should be noted that in other embodiments of the present application, the side waterway 120 is not limited to the left waterway, but can also be the right waterway. When the side waterway 120 is arranged at the right side of the air duct 110, the rear waterway 130 and the front waterway 140 can also be modified accordingly so that the water therein can flow to the right to the right waterway and be discharged.
[0058] The present embodiment also provides an air conditioner, which comprises an indoor unit including the hanging unit base described above. The air conditioner has all the advantages of the hanging unit base described above, and thus will not be described here again.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second", and the like, are used solely to distinguish one entity or action from another entity or action, without necessarily requiring or implying any actual such relationship or order between such entities or actions. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements does not include only those elements but can include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0060] The above description of disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to the embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
