Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a water receiving tray assembly of a ceiling air conditioner and a ceiling air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioners are indispensable electrical appliances in people's daily lives and have a variety of structural forms. With the continuous improvement of industrial design level and the application of new processes, new materials and new shapes in air conditioners, not only a variety of air conditioners have been developed, but also the corresponding structural optimization of air conditioner components has been carried out.

[0003] Take the ceiling machine as an example. In the normal installation position of the ceiling machine, a water pump is often installed above the water tray of the ceiling machine. In order to facilitate daily maintenance of the water pump, an inspection port is often set in the water tray directly below the water pump. When the water pump does not need to be inspected normally, a sealing cover is often set to seal the inspection port.

[0004] Existing sealing covers often only focus on the sealing performance under the condition of theoretically complete assembly. However, when users actually disassemble and assemble the sealing covers, they often cannot intuitively know whether the sealing covers are installed in place, which can easily lead to over-assembly or under-assembly of the sealing covers. If the sealing covers are over-assembled, it is easy to cause damage to the relevant assembly structure (such as thread stripping), affecting subsequent disassembly and use; if the sealing covers are not assembled in place, there will be a risk of water leakage. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a ceiling machine water tray assembly and ceiling machine, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that the user cannot intuitively know whether the sealing cover is installed in place when installing the sealing cover.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is achieved as follows:

[0007] A water tray assembly for a ceiling machine includes a water tray and a sealing cover, wherein the upper plate surface of the water tray is provided with a water receiving groove, the bottom of the water receiving groove is provided with an inspection port, the inspection port runs through the water tray, the sealing cover and the inspection port are connected by threads, an elastic boss is provided on the upper side of the inspection port, an elastic card is provided on the side of the sealing cover close to the water receiving groove, and the elastic card is engaged with the elastic boss when the sealing cover and the inspection port are assembled. Therefore, during the installation process of the sealing cover, as the sealing cover continues to be screwed into the inspection port, the elastic card will gradually move up until the elastic card contacts the elastic boss, and as the user continues to rotate the sealing cover, the elastic card and the elastic boss are engaged, and a "click" sound will be emitted under the elastic deformation of the two, and the sealing cover will be assembled in place at this time, and the user can clearly know that the sealing cover has been assembled in place through the sound emitted when the elastic card is engaged with the elastic boss, which not only facilitates the user's installation operation of the sealing cover, but also effectively avoids the situation that the sealing cover is over-assembled or under-assembled.

[0008] Furthermore, the sealing cover has an inner cavity with an opening toward the water receiving trough, the lowest point of the inner cavity is lower than the bottom of the water receiving trough, and the water pump suction port of the ceiling machine extends into the inner cavity, so that the condensed water in the water receiving trough will flow toward the inner cavity and the condensed water can be pumped out of the ceiling machine by the water pump.

[0009] Furthermore, a deodorizing component is provided in the inner cavity, and the deodorizing component is connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity in a detachable manner. The deodorizing component has a storage space for storing a deodorant, and the storage space is connected to the inner cavity. Thus, the condensed water flowing into the inner cavity will flow into the storage space, and the accumulated condensed water will be deodorized and deodorized by the deodorant. In addition, the user can also periodically unscrew the sealing cover, remove the deodorizing component in the inner cavity, and replace the deodorant.

[0010] Further, the deodorizing assembly includes a filter plate and at least two vertical plates, the vertical plate is connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity, the filter plate is connected to the vertical plate in a detachable manner, a storage space is formed between the filter plate and the vertical plate, the filter plate and / or the vertical plate are provided with a plurality of filter holes, and the storage space can be connected to the inner cavity through the filter holes. Specifically, the vertical plate is connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity and the side wall of the inner cavity, the filter plate includes a first plate body and a second plate body, a first clamping claw is provided on the side of the vertical plate away from the bottom wall of the inner cavity, the first plate body is provided with a first bayonet, the first bayonet is engaged with the first clamping claw, a second clamping claw is provided on the side of the vertical plate away from the side wall of the inner cavity, the second plate body is provided with a second bayonet, and the second bayonet is engaged with the second clamping claw. Thus, a relatively independent storage space can be enclosed between the first plate body, the second plate body, the bottom wall of the inner cavity, the side wall of the inner cavity, and two adjacent vertical plates, and the deodorant can be put into or taken out of the storage space by simply disassembling the filter plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the first plate body is connected to the second plate body, and the first plate body can be rotated relative to the second plate body, so that the user can at least rotate the first plate body to open the containing space and replace the deodorant.

[0012] Furthermore, the deodorizing component is a box body, the outer wall of the box body is snap-fitted with the inner wall of the inner cavity, the box body has a storage space inside for placing the deodorant, the box body wall is provided with a filter hole, and the storage space can be connected with the inner cavity through the filter hole. Thus, the condensed water flowing into the inner cavity will flow into the storage space, and the accumulated condensed water will be deodorized and deodorized by the deodorant. In addition, the user can also regularly unscrew the sealing cover, remove the deodorizing component in the inner cavity, and replace the deodorant.

[0013] Furthermore, the water tray assembly includes an outer cover, which is detachably connected to the lower plate surface of the water tray, and can cover the inspection port and the sealing cover. Therefore, the coverage and blocking of the outer cover is conducive to reducing the generation of condensation on the bottom plate, and also prevents condensation from directly dripping onto the ceiling panel or indoors. At the same time, the shielding of the inspection port and the sealing cover by the outer cover is also conducive to improving the aesthetics of the ceiling.

[0014] Furthermore, the lower plate surface of the water receiving tray is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove and a first screw hole, the cover plate of the outer cover is provided with a snap-fit ​​and a mounting hole, the snap-fit ​​is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove, and the mounting hole is connected with the first screw hole via a fastener. Therefore, after the snap-fit ​​is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove, the mounting hole and the first screw hole can be automatically aligned, which is convenient for the user to install the outer cover, and is also conducive to improving the installation reliability of the outer cover and preventing the outer cover from falling down unnecessarily.

[0015] A ceiling machine comprises a chassis and a water receiving tray assembly of the ceiling machine. Enclosures for embedding the water receiving tray assembly are arranged around the chassis, and the enclosures are connected to the water receiving tray assembly.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the water tray assembly of a ceiling machine and the ceiling machine described in the present invention have the following advantages:

[0017] The water tray assembly and ceiling machine of the present invention, through the provision of elastic cards and elastic bosses, during the installation process of the sealing cover, as the sealing cover is continuously screwed into the inspection port, the elastic card will gradually move up until the elastic card contacts the elastic boss; as the user continues to rotate the sealing cover, the elastic card and the elastic boss are engaged, and a "click" sound is emitted under the action of the elastic deformation of the two. At this time, the sealing cover is assembled in place, and the user can clearly know that the sealing cover is assembled in place through the sound emitted when the elastic card and the elastic boss are engaged, which not only facilitates the user's installation operation of the sealing cover, but also effectively avoids the sealing cover from being over-assembled or under-assembled.

[0030] The inventive concepts of the present disclosure will be described below using terms commonly used by those skilled in the art to convey the essence of their work to other persons skilled in the art. However, these inventive concepts can be embodied in many different forms and should not be considered limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0031] It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict. The directional terms used in this application, such as looking up, looking down, up, down, etc., are based on the ceiling machine in a normal installation state unless otherwise specified. Fig. 9 The related scheme is introduced, which is aimed at the state where the water tray (or the entire ceiling machine) is inverted upside down, such as the placement state, transportation state, production assembly state, etc. of the ceiling machine before installation, so as to highlight the role of the protective boss 15.

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] In existing ceiling machines, an inspection port is provided in the water receiving tray directly below the water pump. When the water pump does not need to be inspected normally, a sealing cover is often provided to seal the inspection port. Existing sealing covers often only focus on the sealing performance under the condition of theoretically intact assembly. However, when users actually disassemble and assemble the sealing covers, they often cannot intuitively know whether the sealing covers are installed in place when installing the sealing covers, which can easily lead to over-assembly or under-assembly of the sealing covers. If the sealing covers are over-assembled, it is often easy to cause damage to the related assembly structures (such as thread slippage), affecting subsequent disassembly and use; if the sealing covers are not assembled in place, there will be a risk of water leakage.

[0035] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the user cannot intuitively know whether the sealing cover is installed in place when installing the sealing cover, this embodiment provides a water tray assembly for a ceiling machine, as shown in the attached Figure 1-7 As shown, the water receiving tray assembly includes a water receiving tray 1 and a sealing cover 2. A water receiving trough 11 is arranged on the upper plate surface of the water receiving tray 1. An inspection port 17 is arranged at the bottom of the water receiving trough 11. The inspection port 17 runs through the water receiving tray 1. The sealing cover 2 is connected to the inspection port 17 by threads. An elastic boss 172 is arranged on the upper side of the inspection port 17. An elastic card 23 is arranged on the side of the sealing cover 2 close to the water receiving trough 11. When the sealing cover 2 and the inspection port 17 are assembled in place, the elastic card 23 is clamped with the elastic boss 172.

[0036] Therefore, during the installation process of the sealing cover 2, as the sealing cover 2 continues to be screwed into the inspection port 17, the elastic card 23 will gradually move up until the elastic card 23 contacts the elastic boss 172. As the user continues to rotate the sealing cover 2, the elastic card 23 and the elastic boss 172 are engaged, and a "click" sound is emitted under the elastic deformation of the two. At this time, the sealing cover 2 is assembled in place, and the user can clearly know that the sealing cover 2 is assembled in place through the sound emitted when the elastic card 23 and the elastic boss 172 are engaged. This not only facilitates the user's installation operation of the sealing cover 2, but also effectively avoids the sealing cover 2 from being over-assembled or under-assembled.

[0037] The outer wall of the sealing cover 2 is provided with an external thread 22, and the inner wall of the inspection port 17 is provided with an internal thread 171, so that the sealing cover 2 can be screwed into the inspection port 17 for sealing. Accordingly, a sealing ring (not shown) is provided at the lower part of the outer wall of the sealing cover 2, and when the sealing cover 2 is installed in place, the sealing cover 2 and the inspection port 17 can be well sealed through the sealing ring.

[0038] The sealing cover 2 has an inner cavity 24 opening toward the water receiving tank 11, and the bottom wall of the inner cavity 24 is the bottom plate 21 of the sealing cover 2. A handle 211 is provided on the side of the bottom plate 21 of the sealing cover 2 away from the water receiving tank 11, so that the user can hold the handle 211 from the outside of the ceiling machine and screw the sealing cover 2 into the inspection port 17.

[0039] Since the inner cavity 24 is connected to the water receiving tank 11, and the lowest point of the inner cavity 24 is lower than the bottom of the water receiving tank 11, the condensed water in the water receiving tank 11 will flow toward the inner cavity 24, and the water suction port of the ceiling machine's water pump extends into the inner cavity 24 to pump the condensed water out of the ceiling machine.

[0040] However, considering that the existing ceiling machine often starts to pump water only after the condensation water level reaches a certain height, a certain amount of condensation water will inevitably accumulate in the inner cavity 24 and the water tank 11 in certain time periods. In order to avoid the accumulation of condensation water to produce odor, a deodorizing component is arranged inside the inner cavity 24, and the deodorizing component is connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 24 in a detachable manner. The deodorizing component has a storage space 27 for accommodating a deodorant. The storage space 27 is connected to the inner cavity 24, so that the condensation water flowing into the inner cavity 24 will flow into the storage space 27, and the accumulated condensation water will be deodorized and suppressed by the deodorant. In addition, the user can also periodically unscrew the sealing cover 2, remove the deodorizing component in the inner cavity 24, and replace the deodorant.

[0041] The deodorizing assembly includes a filter plate 26 and at least two vertical plates 25, wherein the vertical plates 25 are connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity 24, and the filter plate 26 is connected to the vertical plates 25 in a detachable manner, and a receiving space 27 is formed between the filter plate 26 and the vertical plates 25. The filter plate 26 and / or the vertical plates 25 are provided with a plurality of filter holes 263, and the receiving space 27 can be connected to the inner cavity 24 through the filter holes 263. Specifically, the vertical plate 25 is connected to the bottom wall of the inner cavity 24 and the side wall of the inner cavity 24, and the filter plate 26 includes a first plate body 261 and a second plate body 262. A first claw 251 is provided on the side of the vertical plate 25 away from the bottom wall of the inner cavity 24, and a first bayonet 2611 is provided on the first plate body 261, and the first bayonet 2611 is engaged with the first claw 251. A second claw 252 is provided on the side of the vertical plate 25 away from the side wall of the inner cavity 24, and a second bayonet 2621 is provided on the second plate body 262, and the second bayonet 2621 is engaged with the second claw 252. Thus, a relatively independent accommodation space 27 can be enclosed by the first plate body 261, the second plate body 262, the bottom wall of the inner cavity 24, the side wall of the inner cavity 24, and two adjacent vertical plates 25. The deodorant can be put into or taken out of the accommodation space 27 simply by disassembling the filter plate 26.

[0042] The first plate 261 and the second plate 262 can be two separate plates. In the present application, the first plate 261 is connected to the second plate 262 to facilitate user disassembly and assembly, and relative displacement can occur between the first plate 261 and the second plate 262. At least the first plate 261 can be rotated relative to the second plate 262, so that the user can at least rotate the first plate 261, open the accommodating space 27, and replace the deodorant. For example, the connection between the first plate 261 and the second plate 262 is a flexible sheet, or the first plate 261 and the second plate 262 are directly hinged, so that the first plate 261 and the second plate 262 can rotate relative to each other. Preferably, the vertical plate 25 is integrally formed with the sealing cover 2, which improves the mechanical strength of the vertical plate 25 on the one hand, and facilitates the force and disassembly of the filter plate 26 on the other hand.

[0043] In addition, the deodorizing component of the present application is not limited thereto, and the deodorizing component may also be a separate box structure, the outer wall of the box body is snap-fitted with the inner wall of the inner cavity 24, the box body has a receiving space 27 inside for placing the deodorant, and the box wall of the box body is provided with a filter hole 263. Alternatively, the deodorizing component may also be other existing structural forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Since the temperature of the condensed water flowing into the inner cavity 24 is often low, condensation will be generated on the side of the bottom plate 21 away from the water receiving groove 11, which is easy to drip onto the ceiling panel or indoors. For this reason, the water receiving tray assembly includes an outer cover 3, which is connected to the lower plate surface of the water receiving tray 1 in a detachable manner, and the outer cover 3 can cover the inspection port 17 and the sealing cover 2. Preferably, the outer cover 3 does not contact the sealing cover 2, so that it is subject to the covering and blocking of the outer cover 3, which is conducive to reducing the generation of condensation at the bottom plate 21 and avoiding condensation from directly dripping onto the ceiling panel or indoors. At the same time, the shielding of the inspection port 17 and the sealing cover 2 by the outer cover 3 is also conducive to improving the aesthetics of the ceiling.

[0045] As for the connection between the outer cover 3 and the water receiving tray 1, the lower plate surface of the water receiving tray 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 18 and a first screw hole 191, and the cover plate 31 of the outer cover 3 is provided with a snap 32 and a mounting hole 33, the snap 32 is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 18, and the mounting hole 33 is connected with the first screw hole 191 by a fastener, such as a screw connection or a bolt connection. Therefore, after the snap 32 is snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 18, the mounting hole 33 and the first screw hole 191 can be automatically aligned, which is convenient for the user to install the outer cover 3, and is also conducive to improving the installation reliability of the outer cover 3 and preventing the outer cover 3 from falling down unnecessarily.

[0046] Since the user needs to remove the outer cover 3 first when removing the sealing cover 2, in order to prevent the outer cover 3 from falling or being inconvenient to place, the lower plate surface of the water receiving tray 1 is provided with a second screw hole 192, and the cover plate 31 of the outer cover 3 is provided with a hanging rope hole 34. The outer cover 3 is connected to one end of the hanging rope through the hanging rope hole 34, and the other end of the hanging rope is connected to the second screw hole 192 through a fastener. Therefore, after the user removes the outer cover 3, the outer cover 3 can be left to droop naturally and be hung by the hanging rope, which is conducive to simplifying the user's operation.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] In the production, assembly, transportation, and placement of existing ceiling machines, the chassis of the ceiling machine is often placed flat with the bottom facing down, and the non-water receiving side of the water tray faces upward, and the electric control box faces upward, which is opposite to the top and bottom orientation of the ceiling machine in a normal installation state. Since this embodiment is a specific placement orientation of the ceiling machine, correspondingly, the individual orientation terms in this embodiment are opposite to those in Example 1.

[0049] When the water tray is placed with the non-water collecting side facing upwards and the electric control box facing upwards, the ceiling machine is often exposed to objects stacking and people stepping on it. However, at least part of the structure of the existing water tray is often made of plastic, foam plastic and other materials, and the electric control box is often a sheet metal part. Once the ceiling machine is exposed to objects stacking and people stepping on it, the water tray, electric control box and other components are easily deformed by stress or even damaged.

[0050] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that the ceiling machine is easily deformed and damaged due to the stacking of objects and the stepping of people during production, assembly, transportation and the like.

[0051] This embodiment further improves the docking water tray assembly based on the embodiment 1. Figure 8-9 As shown, a water receiving groove 11 is arranged on one side surface of the water receiving tray 1 (i.e., the upper surface of the water receiving tray 1 when the ceiling machine is normally installed), and an assembly groove 14 and a protective boss 15 are arranged on the other side surface (i.e., the lower surface of the water receiving tray 1 when the ceiling machine is normally installed). An electric control box 4 is arranged in the assembly groove 14, and the distance between the side of the protective boss 15 away from the water receiving groove 11 and the bottom of the water receiving groove 11 is recorded as H1, and the distance between the side of the electric control box 4 away from the water receiving groove 11 and the bottom of the water receiving groove 11 is recorded as H2, and H1>H2.

[0052] Therefore, when the ceiling machine is placed with the non-water receiving side of the water receiving tray 1 facing upward and the electric control box 4 facing upward, the provision of the protective boss 15 is beneficial to improving the force distribution of the water receiving tray 1 and improving the mechanical strength of the water receiving tray 1, which can prevent the water receiving tray 1 from being deformed or damaged to a certain extent. On the other hand, since the protective boss 15 continues to extend upward on the surface of the water receiving tray 1, and no matter how large or high the electric control box 4 is, H1 is always greater than H2, when the ceiling machine is stacked with objects or stepped on by people, the point of force is on the protective boss 15, and the main body of the water receiving tray 1 and the electric control box 4 will not be directly subjected to pressure, or at least the electric control box 4 will not be subjected to any pressure, which can effectively prevent the water receiving tray 1, the electric control box 4 and other components from being deformed or damaged when the ceiling machine is stacked with objects or stepped on by people. Among them, the assembly groove 14 is not only used to install the electric control box 4, but also used to install components such as the air guide ring.

[0053] In addition, before the ceiling is stacked or stepped on by people, a large pad can be placed on the water tray 1, supported by the protective boss 15, so that the pad only contacts the protective boss 15. When objects are stacked or people step on it, the force can be effectively dispersed, so that the ceiling is evenly stressed, which is beneficial to further avoid deformation and damage of components such as the water tray 1 and the electric control box 4, and can also prevent the feet from contacting the main body of the water tray 1 or the electric control box 4.

[0054] A bearing platform 12 is provided at the bottom of the water receiving groove 11. After the ceiling machine is normally installed, the bearing platform 12 can contact the evaporator of the ceiling machine to support the evaporator. In the vertical direction, the protective boss 15 is arranged opposite to the bearing platform 12, or the protective boss 15 is coplanar with the bearing platform 12, so that on the one hand, the water receiving tray 1 forms a boss structure facing each other in the vertical direction on both sides, which is conducive to improving the force distribution of the water receiving tray 1, improving the mechanical strength of the water receiving tray 1, and avoiding deformation and damage of the water receiving tray 1. On the other hand, when the protective boss 15 is subjected to a force directly applied from the outside, at least a part of the force will be transmitted to the bearing platform 12, the evaporator, and the chassis in turn, providing a certain support for the protective boss 15, avoiding the force of the protective boss 15 from being completely transmitted to the water receiving tray 1, and significantly reducing the deformation and damage of the water receiving tray 1.

[0055] In addition, the water receiving tray 1 is provided with an air inlet 13 and an air outlet 16, the assembly groove 14 is arranged around the outer edge of the air inlet 13, the air outlet 16 is arranged outside the assembly groove 14, and the protective boss 15 is located between the assembly groove 14 and the air outlet 16. Thus, the protective boss 15 is located in the middle position between the air inlet 13 and the air outlet 16, and there will not be too much stress concentration, which is conducive to improving the force distribution of the entire water receiving tray 1, improving the mechanical strength of the water receiving tray 1, and at the same time will not interfere with the assembly of the electric control box 4.

[0056] In the present invention, any ceiling machine includes a chassis and the water receiving tray assembly described in the present application, and the chassis is provided with a surrounding plate for embedding the water receiving tray assembly around it, and the surrounding plate is connected to the water receiving tray assembly.

[0057] Based on the relevant structure and assembly relationship provided in this embodiment, the ceiling machine also includes conventional components of the ceiling machine indoor unit including an evaporator, a wind wheel, an air guide ring, a water pump and other structures; similarly, the ceiling machine also includes an outdoor unit and related components; in view of the fact that it is the prior art, it will not be elaborated here.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
