Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of condensate treatment of heat pump equipment, and in particular to a condensate diversion structure for an integrated heat pump equipment. Background Art

[0002] In the field of household heat pump equipment, the integrated structure is widely adopted due to its advantages such as compact space and easy installation. It usually adopts a layout with an upper refrigerant circulation system and a lower hot water storage tank.

[0003] During refrigerant circulation, condensation forms on the evaporator and piping surfaces due to the temperature difference between the evaporator and the flowing air. These water droplets then drip downward under the influence of gravity. To prevent this condensation from accumulating over time and seeping into the heat storage tank below, potentially causing corrosion of metal components, a baffle is typically installed between the refrigerant system and the water tank. This provides physical isolation between the upper and lower areas and also serves to guide and drain the condensation.

[0004] However, the existing baffle design has significant defects in practical applications: its surface is mostly flat or a simple inclined structure, lacking efficient diversion path planning, resulting in uncontrollable flow direction of condensate and easy retention in local areas of the baffle. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve the above technical problems. In the first aspect, a condensate diversion structure for an integrated heat pump device is provided.

[0006] A condensate diversion structure for an integrated heat pump device comprises: a base plate; a diversion area and a confluence area, which are located on the same side of the base plate; the plane height of the confluence area is lower than the plane height of the diversion area; the diversion area is provided with multiple diversion grooves and multiple connecting grooves, the confluence area is provided with a drain outlet, the diversion grooves are distributed in a radial manner with the drain outlet as the center, the diversion grooves have a slope and the lower end of the diversion grooves is close to the drain outlet, the connecting grooves connect the diversion grooves, and the connecting grooves are distributed in parallel.

[0007] By adopting this technical solution, the baseplate provides a stable support foundation for the entire condensate diversion structure. The height difference between the diversion area and the confluence area, combined with the slope of the diversion trough, fully utilizes the gravity of the condensate, allowing it to flow smoothly to the lower confluence area. The diversion troughs are arranged in a radial pattern centered on the drain outlet, forming an efficient and dense diversion area around the drain outlet. This area is particularly suitable for placement directly below the evaporator in the refrigerant circulation system, quickly directing the large amount of water generated by the evaporator directly to the drain outlet, effectively shortening the drainage path and improving drainage efficiency. At the same time, the outer areas of the radial diversion troughs precisely correspond to the areas below the refrigerant circulation system pipes and other components prone to condensate generation, ensuring that condensate generated in these locations is also guided to the drain outlet in an orderly manner. The design of the connecting trough further improves the diversion system. By interconnecting the diversion troughs and maintaining their parallel distribution, the water flow is significantly enhanced in terms of direction and distribution uniformity, preventing the accumulation of condensate in localized areas.

[0008] Preferably, the guide area is separated by guide grooves and connecting grooves to form multiple guide islands, the height of the middle position of the guide island is higher than the height of the edge position of the guide island, and the height of each position of the guide island increases non-strictly monotonically with increasing distance from the edge position.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, condensed water can be more efficiently gathered and directed to the drainage path. Specifically, since the middle position of the guide island is higher than the edge position, and its height increases non-strictly monotonically with the distance from the edge position, this design allows the condensed water to flow naturally to the edge under the action of gravity. When the condensed water flows to the edge of the guide island, it will smoothly enter the guide groove and the connecting groove, thereby completing the first-level guidance of the condensed water. Such a structure effectively improves the diversion efficiency of the condensed water, while significantly reducing the occurrence of condensed water being retained on the surface of the guide island.

[0010] Preferably, the surface of the guide island is provided with ridges, and the ridges are distributed radially with the middle of the guide island as the center.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, condensed water can flow efficiently to the edge in a clear direction under the guidance of the ridges on the surface of the guide island. The radial distribution of the ridges ensures that the flow path of the condensed water is clear and concentrated. In addition, the tiny grooves formed between adjacent ridges can not only accelerate the flow of water through the surface tension of water with the help of capillary phenomena, but also play a good splash-proof effect when the condensed water drips. When the condensed water drips onto the ridges, it will be diverted to the grooves on both sides by the ridges, and effectively blocked by the adjacent ridges, thereby achieving orderly diversion and control.

[0012] Preferably, the groove wall and / or groove bottom of the guide groove and / or the connecting groove are arrayed with micro grooves, and the length direction of the micro grooves is the same as the length direction of the guide groove and / or the connecting groove in which they are located.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the microgrooves arranged on the groove walls or groove bottoms of the guide grooves and the connecting grooves can effectively promote the flow of condensed water by capillary action when the water volume is small, thereby avoiding the accumulation of condensed water in the guide grooves or the connecting grooves, thereby improving the drainage efficiency and reliability of the entire condensed water diversion structure.

[0014] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove and / or the connecting groove is V-shaped.

[0015] By adopting this technical solution, the V-shaped cross-section of the diversion trough and connecting trough can adapt to the diversion needs of different water volumes. When the water volume is low, the narrow bottom structure can concentrate the water flow into streams, ensuring smooth flow of condensate. When the water volume is high, the V-shaped cross-section can effectively increase the water flow velocity, using the high-speed water flow to flush the trough walls, reducing impurity deposition, and thus keeping the diversion trough and connecting trough clean and unobstructed.

[0016] Preferably, the slope of the diversion island is a, and the value range of a is 2% to 5%.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the slope of the guide island is controlled within a reasonable range. Specifically, if the slope is less than 2%, the slope of the guide island surface is too gentle, and the gravity component of the condensed water during flow is small, resulting in insufficient flow momentum. This causes the condensed water to flow slowly, easily stagnating on the surface of the guide island and unable to quickly converge into the guide trough and connecting trough, reducing the diversion efficiency. If the slope is greater than 5%, although the condensed water flow rate will increase, the excessive slope will make the substrate thicker, increasing the manufacturing difficulty and cost.

[0018] Preferably, the slope of the guide groove is b, and the value range of b is 5% to 10%.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the slope of the diversion trough is controlled within a reasonable range. Compared to the diversion island, the main function of the diversion trough is to efficiently guide condensate from the diversion area to the drainage outlet of the confluence area. The larger slope provides sufficient gravity component for the condensate, helping to overcome the resistance during the flow process and prevent condensate from being retained or accumulated in the diversion trough. The faster-flowing condensate has a certain scouring effect during the flow process, effectively flushing the trough walls and bottom of the diversion trough, helping to remove dust, impurities and other pollutants that may have accumulated in the trough, keeping the diversion trough clean and unobstructed, and reducing the diversion problems caused by blockages and other problems.

[0020] Preferably, the guide island is provided with a vibration guide point for receiving vibration.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibration guide points on the guide island can effectively receive high-frequency, low-amplitude vibrations generated by components such as the compressor of the refrigerant circulation system. This vibration is transmitted to the surface of the guide island through the vibration guide points. With the help of the capillary action enhanced by the vibration, the flow of condensed water on the surface of the guide island is further promoted, thereby significantly improving the drainage efficiency. At the same time, since the vibration guide points are set on the guide island, the natural attenuation characteristics of the vibration propagation process are utilized, so that the vibration amplitude reaching the connecting groove and the guide groove is significantly reduced, effectively avoiding the splashing of condensed water and ensuring that the condensed water flows smoothly along the predetermined path and is discharged.

[0022] Preferably, the base plate is provided with an annular groove, the guide island is located inside the annular groove, and the annular groove is connected to the guide groove.

[0023] By adopting this technical solution, the annular grooves on the baseplate effectively collect condensate directed from the peripheral diversion islands. The annular grooves and diversion grooves are interconnected, forming a complete diversion path. This ensures that condensate flows from the diversion islands to the annular grooves, and then is directed to the drain outlet for centralized collection. This design not only prevents condensate from stagnating outside the diversion area but also improves the efficiency and reliability of condensate treatment.

[0024] In a second aspect, a heat pump device is provided.

[0025] A heat pump device includes a refrigerant circulation system and a condensed water diversion structure for the integrated heat pump device. The condensed water diversion structure for the integrated heat pump device is arranged below the refrigerant circulation system.

[0026] By adopting this technical solution, condensed water generated by the refrigerant circulation system can be effectively diverted and discharged. The design of the diversion and confluence areas on the baseplate, combined with the layout of the diversion and connection grooves, ensures that the condensed water flows along a predetermined path and is ultimately discharged through the drain outlet, avoiding stagnation in localized areas of the partition. This significantly improves condensed water treatment and effectively prevents condensed water from seeping into the heat storage tank below and causing rust, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the integrated heat pump system.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. The radially distributed diversion troughs with a sloped design can guide condensed water quickly to the drain outlet, effectively preventing condensed water from stagnating and accumulating anywhere in the diversion area.

[0029] 2. The connecting trough and diversion trough work together to build an efficient diversion network, ensuring a clear and smooth condensate flow path, significantly reducing the risk of condensate leaking into the hot water storage tank below;

[0030] 3. The height difference design between the diversion area and the confluence area optimizes the collection and discharge process of condensate, improves the baffle structure's ability to handle condensate, and thus enhances the equipment's anti-corrosion performance and operational reliability.

[0035] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The described embodiments are only possible technical implementations of the present invention and are not all possible implementations. Those skilled in the art can fully combine the embodiments of the present invention to derive other embodiments without creative work, and these embodiments are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The inventor of the application found that the existing condensate diversion technology has the problems of low condensate diversion efficiency and difficulty in balancing drainage smoothness and structural stability. For this reason, this application mainly adopts a new type of condensate diversion structure to achieve the effect of efficient and stable condensate diversion. The following is a further detailed description of this application. Example 1:

[0037] An embodiment of the present application provides a condensate diversion structure 9 for an integrated heat pump device, including a substrate 1 .

[0038] The base plate 1 is generally circular and is divided into a diversion area 2 and a confluence area 3. The diversion area 2 is generally circular with a notch, while the confluence area 3 is leaf-shaped to match the shape of the diversion area 2. The plane height of the confluence area 3 is lower than the plane height of the diversion area 2. The diversion area 2 is provided with multiple diversion grooves 4 and multiple connecting grooves 5. The confluence area 3 is provided with a drain outlet. The diversion grooves 4 are linear grooves and are distributed in a radial pattern with the drain outlet as the center. The diversion grooves 4 have a slope, and the low end of the diversion grooves 4 is close to the drain outlet. The connecting grooves 5 are arc grooves that cross and connect the diversion grooves 4, with the arc protruding toward the drain outlet. The connecting grooves 5 have a slope, and the intersection of the connecting grooves 5 and the middle diversion groove 4 is the low point of the slope.

[0039] The base plate 1 provides a solid support foundation for the entire condensate diversion structure 9. The height difference between the diversion area 2 and the confluence area 3, combined with the slope design of the diversion groove 4, can make full use of the gravity of the condensed water, so that the condensed water can flow smoothly to the confluence area 3 with a lower plane height. The diversion groove 4 extends radially with the drain outlet as the center, forming an efficient diversion network around the drain outlet, shortening the path and quickly guiding the water flow directly to the drain outlet, adapting to the relatively large water discharge demand directly below the evaporator in the refrigerant circulation system 10, and significantly improving the drainage efficiency; its outer area precisely covers the bottom of the refrigerant pipe and other components prone to condensation, ensuring that the dispersed condensed water is orderly gathered. The connecting groove 5 is interconnected with the diversion groove 4 through parallel distribution, constructing a criss-crossing diversion groove 4 network, evenly distributing the drainage path and eliminating local stagnation.

[0040] The curved shape of the connecting trough 5 further redirects condensed water toward the center, optimizing the water flow path. Specifically, the curved shape gently redirects the water flow, allowing condensed water to converge along a natural curve toward the drain outlet at low flow rates. The curved shape, convex toward the drain outlet, creates a centripetal flow diversion trend, allowing water dispersed throughout the various diversion troughs 4 to gradually converge toward the central intersection via the gradient of the connecting trough 5. This avoids the potential for dead spots in the flow caused by right-angle connections, which could lead to water retention and localized water accumulation due to structural abruptness.

[0041] The slope of the guide groove 4 in this application can be selected in the range of 5%-10%, which is mainly based on the design considerations of diversion efficiency and self-cleaning requirements. Although the amount of condensed water is usually not large, appropriately increasing the slope can enhance the water flow dynamics, so that the water flow under low flow conditions still has continuous fluidity and reduces the problem of local accumulation. The lower limit of the slope of 5% can ensure the minimum water flow velocity, which is sufficient to promote the directional flow of trace condensed water, while the upper limit of 10% can moderately increase the flow velocity to enable the water flow to have the ability to flush, which can carry away the fine impurities deposited in the groove and prevent the groove body from being blocked due to long-term accumulation. This slope range avoids the poor drainage caused by too small a slope as much as possible, and controls the problem of overall thickening of the structure caused by too large a slope, achieving a "gentle flushing" self-cleaning effect under low water conditions, while maintaining the practicality and durability of the diversion structure. In this embodiment, the slope of the guide groove 4 is 7%. The slope of the connecting groove 5 in this application can be selected in the range of 4%-6%, mainly based on the functional positioning of the connecting groove 5 in the diversion system and the adaptation requirements of the low flow rate environment. As a horizontal water collection channel, the connecting groove 5 needs to smoothly integrate the dispersed water flow from each diversion groove 4 and guide it to the drain outlet. The selection of a 4% lower limit of the slope can provide the necessary gravity drive to ensure the continuous directional flow of condensed water under low flow conditions and minimize the risk of stagnation; the 6% upper limit prevents excessive flow by limiting the slope, maintaining the stability of the water flow integration process, and the smaller slope makes the flow rate difference of the condensed water controllable when it enters the intersection of the diversion groove 4, avoiding mutual interference and forming turbulence. This gradient design makes the flow rate of the diversion groove 4 and the connecting groove 5 naturally transition, forming an orderly diversion network under low flow conditions, and ensuring drainage efficiency. In this embodiment, the slope of the connecting groove 5 is selected to be 5%.

[0042] Preferably, the guide groove 4 and the connecting groove 5 can adopt a V-shaped cross-section, and the groove wall array of the guide groove 4 and the connecting groove 5 is provided with microgrooves, and the length direction of the microgrooves is the same as the length direction of the guide groove 4 and / or the connecting groove 5 in which they are located. The shape of the V-shaped cross-section is adapted to different water volume conditions: the narrow bottom uses the capillary effect to cause the water flow to gather in streams when the water volume is low, avoiding dispersion and retention; when the water volume is large, the inclined side walls increase the water delivery capacity by increasing the hydraulic radius, and at the same time achieve self-cleaning by flushing the groove wall with the water flow. The microgrooves provided in the groove wall array can further enhance the capillary effect, and the directional grooves provide a low-resistance path for the water flow, guiding the continuous flow of trace condensed water under the action of surface tension. Especially when the evaporator intermittently produces a small amount of condensed water, the microgrooves can effectively break through the initial adhesion threshold of the water droplets and trigger flow; and under normal water volume, the synergistic effect of the microgrooves and the V-shaped cross-section can reduce the contact angle between the water flow and the groove wall, reduce flow resistance, and improve the overall diversion efficiency. This composite design enables the diversion system to meet the demand for rapid drainage under large flow conditions, while maintaining reliable diversion under low flow conditions.

[0043] The connection between the guide grooves 4 and the connecting grooves 5 separates the guide area 2 into multiple guide islands 6. The center of each guide island 6 is higher than the edge, and the height of each island 6 increases continuously with distance from the edge. The slope of each guide island 6 is 2% to 5%, and in this embodiment, the slope is 3%. Ridges are formed on the surface of each guide island 6, radiating from the center of the island 6. These ridges are straight lines, typically 0.5 mm to 2 mm in height and 0.5 mm to 1 mm in width.

[0044] The height difference design of the diversion island 6, where the center is higher than the edge, essentially transforms large-scale planar diversion into localized diversion units. This island-like structure, combined with the radial diversion trough 4 layout, forms a synergistic mechanism of "decentralized diversion and centralized drainage." Each diversion island 6, acting as an independent diversion unit, shortens the local drainage path. The continuous gradient from the center to the edge achieves step-by-step guidance of condensate, while the diversion trough 4 and connecting trough 5 serve as the main channel for rapid drainage. Ultimately, this achieves efficient, directional guidance of condensate at low flow rates, completely eliminating the retention defects caused by the lack of path planning in traditional planar structures. At the same time, the geometric complementarity between the island and trough enhances the stability and reliability of the overall diversion structure.

[0045] The slope of the guide island 6 ranges from less than 2% to too gentle a slope. This results in a smaller gravitational component acting on the condensed water during its flow, resulting in insufficient flow momentum. This causes the condensed water to flow slowly, becoming trapped on the surface of the guide island 6 and unable to converge into the guide groove 4 and connecting groove 5 in a timely manner, thus reducing diversion efficiency. A slope greater than 5% accelerates the flow of the condensed water, but the excessively steep slope will thicken the substrate 1, increasing manufacturing difficulty and cost.

[0046] Under the influence of gravity, condensed water naturally flows along the ridge lines. Its radial direction precisely corresponds to the radial distribution of the peripheral diversion grooves 4, providing clear path guidance for the water flow and preventing random diffusion. The micro-grooves formed between adjacent ridges accelerate the flow of low-volume condensed water through capillary action. Especially when the evaporator intermittently produces trace amounts of condensed water, the synergistic effect of surface tension and capillary effect can break the threshold of the initial adhesion of water droplets, prompting the water flow to converge along the grooves toward the edge diversion grooves 4. The ridge-like protrusions of the ridge lines also produce a diversion and blocking effect when condensed water drips, suppressing splashing caused by water impact. Specifically, when condensed water drops onto the ridge lines, it is diverted by the ridge lines to the grooves on both sides and effectively blocked by adjacent ridge lines, thus achieving all-round drainage optimization from macro-diversion to micro-splash prevention.

[0047] The guide island 6 is provided with a vibration guide point 8 for receiving vibrations. Specifically, the vibration guide point 8 can be a through-hole for pipe passage or a bracket mounting point for mounting a bracket. The vibration guide point 8 is designed to utilize the high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration energy generated by components such as the compressor during operation of the refrigerant circulation system 10. Through structural conduction, the vibration is converted into an auxiliary driving force to promote the flow of condensed water. This vibration transmission breaks the adhesion threshold of condensed water on the surface of the guide island 6 due to low flow rate or trace accumulation. The high-frequency, low-amplitude vibration induces directional displacement of water droplets, allowing the condensed water to move by superimposing vibration energy on the gravity-dominated flow, significantly improving the diversion efficiency under low-flow conditions. When the vibration energy is transmitted through the radial ridge network on the surface of the guide island 6, the ridge structure acts as both a mechanical reinforcement and a vibration waveguide channel, converting local vibrations into surface waves propagating along the ridge direction. This, in conjunction with the capillary action of the microgrooves, further reduces water flow resistance. The natural attenuation of the vibration energy during transmission due to structural damping ensures that the amplitude is significantly reduced when it reaches the guide groove 4 area, preventing water splashing. This design cleverly utilizes the inherent vibration of the system to achieve a double enhancement of the condensate diversion dynamics without increasing additional energy consumption. At the same time, it suppresses the side effects of vibration through structural optimization, ultimately achieving a simultaneous improvement in diversion efficiency and reliability.

[0048] On the side of the base plate 1 where the confluence area 3 and diversion area 2 are located, a circular groove 7 is circumferentially arranged. Together with the diversion groove 4, and with the diversion island 6 located within it, the circular groove 7 on the base plate 1 effectively collects condensed water directed from the peripheral diversion island 6. The circular groove 7 and the diversion groove 4 are interconnected, forming a complete diversion path. This ensures that condensed water flows from the diversion island 6 to the circular groove 7 and is then directed to the drain outlet for centralized collection. This design not only prevents condensed water from accumulating outside the diversion area 2 but also improves the efficiency and reliability of condensed water treatment.

[0049] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: the condensate diversion structure 9 uses the triple driving forces of gravity gradient, capillary effect, and vibration assistance, combined with the geometric complementarity of radial diversion, arc flow collection, and island dispersion, to achieve full process optimization from trace condensate collection to centralized discharge. At the same time, the slope control and V-groove design take into account self-cleaning and structural compactness, completely solving the water retention and blockage problems of traditional plane diversion, and improving the operational reliability of heat pump equipment. Example 2:

[0050] A heat pump device includes a refrigerant circulation system 10 and a condensate diversion structure 9 for an integrated heat pump device. The condensate diversion structure 9 is arranged below the refrigerant circulation system 10 and is used to collect and divert condensate generated during the refrigerant circulation process.

[0051] The principle behind this embodiment is that by integrating the condensate diversion structure 9 into the heat pump equipment, a complete condensate treatment system is formed. Condensate generated during operation of the refrigerant circulation system 10 is effectively collected and discharged by the diversion structure, preventing corrosion and other adverse effects on the equipment. This design not only improves the overall performance of the heat pump equipment but also simplifies maintenance, offering significant practical value.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
