Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular to a deodorizing module of a water receiving tray and an 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 water tray of the indoor unit of the air conditioner as an example, such as the water tray of the ceiling unit. The water pump is usually started only after the condensed water level in the water tank of the water tray reaches a certain height. This will inevitably cause a certain amount of condensed water to accumulate in the water tank during certain periods of time, which is easy to cause bacteria to grow, resulting in odor in the water tank, affecting the user's air conditioning experience.

[0004] To this end, in the prior art, a deodorizing module is often provided in the water receiving tank, but the existing deodorizing module often has a complex assembly structure, which is not only inconvenient for disassembling the deodorizing module or replacing the deodorant, but is also prone to misassembly, resulting in misalignment of the deodorizing module, thus affecting its normal deodorizing function. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a deodorizing module for a water receiving tray and an air conditioner, so as to solve the problems in the prior art that the deodorizing module is difficult to disassemble and assemble and is prone to misassembly.

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

[0007] A deodorizing module for a water receiving tray, wherein the water receiving tray is provided with a water receiving trough, a water collecting recess is provided on the bottom wall of the water receiving trough, an assembly edge is provided on one side of the water receiving trough, and the deodorizing module is arranged in the water receiving trough. The deodorizing module comprises an assembly part, a storage part, and a flow guide part which are connected in sequence, the assembly part and the assembly edge are pre-positioned by a positioning structure, and the assembly part is connected to the assembly edge in a detachable manner, the storage part has a accommodating cavity which can be communicated with the water receiving trough and is used to store deodorant, one end of the flow guide part is communicated with the accommodating cavity, and the other end extends toward the water collecting recess. Therefore, when the deodorizing module is assembled with the water receiving trough, the present application first pre-positions the assembly parts with the assembly edge, and then can directly connect the assembly parts with the assembly edge. At the same time, the flow guide automatically faces the water collecting recess. On the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the deodorizing module. At the same time, the pre-positioning assembly can avoid the wrong assembly of the deodorizing module. On the other hand, the deodorizing module is provided with a flow guide so that the condensed water treated with the deodorant can flow directly to the water collecting recess along the flow guide. At least for the condensed water collected in the water collecting recess, it can play a role in suppressing the generation of odor in the water body.

[0008] Furthermore, a positioning column and a first claw are provided at one end of the assembly part away from the storage part, and a positioning hole and a bayonet are provided on the assembly edge. The positioning column can be inserted into the positioning hole for pre-positioning, and the first claw is engaged with the bayonet, so that after the assembly part and the assembly edge are pre-positioned, the assembly part and the assembly edge can be directly engaged and assembled, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the deodorization module and can also avoid the deodorization module from being assembled incorrectly.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage part is provided with a filling port on a side facing the assembly part, the filling port is communicated with the accommodating cavity, and the assembly part is connected to the filling port of the storage part in a detachable manner. Specifically, the assembly part is provided with a second claw at one end close to the storage part, and the storage part is provided with a flange on a side facing the assembly part, the flange is provided with a card interface, and the second claw is engaged with the card interface. Therefore, when the deodorant is replaced, the deodorant in the accommodating cavity can be replaced from the filling port by disassembling the assembly part from the storage part.

[0010] Furthermore, the assembly part includes a first assembly plate, an extension plate, and a second assembly plate which are connected in sequence, the first assembly plate is connected to the assembly edge, the extension plate extends toward the bottom wall of the water receiving trough, and the second assembly plate is connected to the storage component, so that after the deodorization module is connected to the assembly edge, it can extend as a whole toward the water receiving trough, especially so that the storage component and the guide component can be arranged in the water receiving trough.

[0011] Furthermore, at least part of the side wall structure of the storage component is hollowed out and provided with a filter screen, and the accommodating chamber can be connected with the water receiving trough through the filter holes of the filter screen; the connecting port between the guide member and the accommodating chamber is provided with a filter screen, and the guide member can be connected with the accommodating chamber through the filter holes of the filter screen, so that condensed water in the water receiving trough enters the accommodating chamber through the filter screen, and the water treated with the deodorant flows into the guide member after being filtered, thereby preventing the deodorant particles from flowing out of the accommodating chamber and preventing foreign matter in the water receiving trough from flowing into the accommodating chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide channel is formed between the guide member and the bottom wall of the water receiving trough, one end of the guide channel is connected to the accommodating cavity, and an extension tube is provided at the other end, and the outlet of the extension tube extends to the top of the water collecting recess, so that the condensed water treated with the deodorant can all flow into the water collecting recess along the guide channel.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom wall height of the water receiving trough ≥ the inlet height of the diversion channel > the outlet height of the diversion channel > the height of the water collection recess. Thus, the condensed water can easily flow to the water collection recess, and the condensed water flowing through the deodorization module can also flow along the diversion channel to the water collection recess.

[0014] Furthermore, a baffle ring is provided at the outer edge of the water collection recess, and a relief notch is provided on the baffle ring, and the extension pipe can penetrate the relief notch and extend to the top of the water collection recess. Thus, through the setting of the baffle ring, when the accumulated water in the water receiving trough needs to flow through the accommodating cavity and the guide member in sequence, and then flow into the water collection recess, the water accumulated in the water collection recess is all treated with the deodorant, which can effectively increase the amount of water treated with the deodorant, and is conducive to improving the effect of suppressing odor.

[0015] An air conditioner comprises a water receiving tray and a deodorizing module of the water receiving tray. The water receiving tray has a water receiving tank, and the deodorizing module is detachably arranged in the water receiving tank.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the deodorizing module of the water receiving tray and the air conditioner described in the present invention have the following advantages:

At the same time, the flow guide automatically faces the water collecting recess. On the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the deodorizing module. At the same time, the pre-positioning assembly can avoid the wrong assembly of the deodorizing module. On the other hand, the deodorizing module is provided with a flow guide so that the condensed water treated with the deodorant can flow directly to the water collecting recess along the flow guide. At least for the condensed water collected in the water collecting recess, it can play a role in suppressing the generation of odor in the water body. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] 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.

[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0028] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0029] In the prior art, a deodorizing module is often provided in the water receiving groove of the water receiving tray. However, the existing deodorizing module often has a complicated assembly structure, which is not only inconvenient for disassembling and assembling the deodorizing module or replacing the deodorant, but also prone to misassembly, resulting in misalignment of the deodorizing module, thus affecting its normal deodorizing function.

[0030] In order to solve the problem that the deodorizing module in the prior art is difficult to disassemble and assemble, and is prone to misassembly, this embodiment proposes a deodorizing module for a water receiving tray, as shown in the attached Figure 1-5 As shown, the water receiving tray 1 is provided with a water receiving trough 11, and a water collecting recess 15 is provided on the bottom wall 12 of the water receiving trough 11. An assembly edge 14 is provided on one side of the water receiving trough 11. The deodorizing module is provided in the water receiving trough 11. The deodorizing module includes an assembly part 21, a storage part 22, and a guide part 23 which are connected in sequence. The assembly part 21 and the assembly edge 14 are pre-positioned by a positioning structure, and the assembly part 21 is connected to the assembly edge 14 in a detachable manner. A accommodating cavity 221 which can be communicated with the water receiving trough 11 is provided therein for storing deodorant. One end of the guide part 23 is communicated with the accommodating cavity 221, and the other end extends toward the water collecting recess 15, so that the condensed water treated with the deodorant can flow directly to the water collecting recess 15 along the guide part 23.

[0031] Therefore, when the deodorizing module is assembled with the water receiving trough 11, the present application first pre-positions the assembling part 21 with the assembling edge 14, and then the assembling part 21 can be directly connected with the assembling edge 14. At the same time, the flow guide 23 automatically faces the water collecting recess 15. On the one hand, it is beneficial to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the deodorizing module. At the same time, the pre-positioning assembly can avoid the misassembly of the deodorizing module. On the other hand, the deodorizing module is provided with the flow guide 23, so that the condensed water treated with the deodorant can flow directly to the water collecting recess 15 along the flow guide 23. At least for the condensed water collected in the water collecting recess 15, it can play a role in suppressing the generation of odor in the water body.

[0032] Regarding the assembly between the assembly part 21 and the assembly edge 14, a positioning column 214 and a first claw 215 are provided at one end of the assembly part 21 away from the storage part 22, and a positioning hole 141 and a snap-in 142 are provided on the assembly edge 14. The positioning column 214 and the positioning hole 141 constitute a positioning structure, and the positioning column 214 can be inserted into the positioning hole 141 for pre-positioning. The first claw 215 is snap-fitted with the snap-in 142, so that after the assembly part 21 and the assembly edge 14 are pre-positioned, the assembly part 21 and the assembly edge 14 can be directly snap-fitted and assembled, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the deodorization module and can also avoid the deodorization module from being assembled incorrectly.

[0033] The storage part 22 is provided with a filling port on the side facing the assembly part 21, the filling port is communicated with the accommodating chamber 221, and the assembly part 21 is connected to the filling port of the storage part 22 in a detachable manner. Specifically, the assembly part 21 is provided with a second claw 216 at one end close to the storage part 22, and the storage part 22 is provided with a flange 223 on the side facing the assembly part 21 (i.e., the filling port), and the flange 223 is provided with a card interface 224, and the second claw 216 is engaged with the card interface 224. Therefore, when the deodorant is replaced, the deodorant in the accommodating chamber 221 can be replaced from the filling port by disassembling the assembly part 21 from the storage part 22.

[0034] On the basis of the above-mentioned assembly relationship, for the assembly part 21, the assembly part 21 includes a first assembly plate 211, an extension plate 212, and a second assembly plate 213 which are connected in sequence. The first assembly plate 211 is provided with a positioning column 214 and a first claw 215 on the side facing the assembly edge 14. The extension plate 212 extends toward the bottom wall 12 of the water receiving trough 11. The second assembly plate 213 is provided with a second claw 216 on the side facing the storage part 22. While realizing the assembly between the corresponding components, the deodorization module can be extended as a whole toward the water receiving trough 11 after being connected to the assembly edge 14, especially the storage part 22 and the guide part 23 can be arranged in the water receiving trough 11.

[0035] In this application, you can Figure 3 In the structure shown, the assembly part 21 and the storage part 22 are two separate parts from each other, the second assembly plate 213 is provided with two second claws 216, and the flange 223 is provided with two corresponding card interfaces 224, so that the second assembly plate 213 and the flange 223 are clamped together to realize the connection between the assembly part 21 and the storage part 22.

[0036] In addition, considering that the split parts are easy to be lost after disassembly, the second assembly plate 213 and the flange 223 are both provided with hanging rope holes, one end of the hanging rope is connected to the hanging rope hole of the second assembly plate 213, and the other end is connected to the hanging rope hole of the flange 223. Of course, a hinged form can also be provided between the assembly part 21 and the storage part 22, for example: one side of the second assembly plate 213 is hinged to the flange 223, and the other side is clamped to the flange 223, so that after the clamping relationship between the second assembly plate 213 and the flange 223 is released, the assembly part 21 can be directly rotated through the hinge shaft to open the filling port.

[0037] As for the storage member 22, at least part of the side wall structure of the storage member 22 is hollowed out and provided with a filter (not shown). The accommodating chamber 221 can communicate with the water receiving tank 11 through the filter holes of the filter. At the same time, the connecting port between the guide member 23 and the accommodating chamber 221 is provided with a filter. The guide member 23 can communicate with the accommodating chamber 221 through the filter holes of the filter, so that the condensed water in the water receiving tank 11 enters the accommodating chamber 221 through the filter, and the water treated with the deodorant flows into the guide member 23 after being filtered, so as to prevent the deodorant particles from flowing out of the accommodating chamber 221 and prevent the foreign matter in the water receiving tank 11 from flowing into the accommodating chamber 221. In addition, the storage member 22 has a filter frame 222 to support the relatively soft filter.

[0038] The flow guide 23 may be a pipe structure having a flow guide channel 232, or may be an attached Figure 2 In the cover shell structure shown, the guide member 23 and the storage member 22 are integrally formed, such as by injection molding, and a guide channel 232 is formed between the guide member 23 and the bottom wall 12 of the water receiving trough 11. One end of the guide channel 232 is connected to the accommodating cavity 221, and the other end extends toward the water collecting recess 15, so that the condensed water treated with the deodorant can flow along the guide channel 232 to the water collecting recess 15.

[0039] The bottom wall 12 of the water receiving trough 11 may be approximately flat, and with the horizontal ground as a reference, the height of the bottom wall 12 of the water receiving trough 11 ≥ the inlet height of the diversion channel 232 > the outlet height of the diversion channel 232 > the height of the water collection recess 15, so that the condensed water can easily flow to the water collection recess 15, and the condensed water flowing through the deodorization module can also flow to the water collection recess 15 along the diversion channel 232. At the same time, the water collection recess 15 is the lowest point, and the water pump of the air conditioner extends into the water collection recess 15 to extract the condensed water from the air conditioner.

[0040] An extension pipe 231 is disposed on a side of the guide member 23 away from the storage member 22 , and an outlet of the extension pipe 231 extends to above the water collecting recess 15 , so that all condensed water flowing through the deodorization module can flow into the water collecting recess 15 .

[0041] On this basis, the present application makes further improvements to the docking water tray 1, and a baffle ring 16 is provided on the outer edge of the water collection recess 15, and the baffle ring 16 is provided with an avoidance gap 161, and the extension tube 231 can penetrate the avoidance gap 161 and extend to the top of the water collection recess 15. Therefore, through the setting of the baffle ring 16, when the accumulated water in the water receiving tank 11 needs to flow through the accommodating cavity 221 and the guide member 23 in sequence, and then flow into the water collection recess 15, the water accumulated in the water collection recess 15 is all treated with the deodorant, which can effectively increase the amount of water treated with the deodorant, which is conducive to improving the effect of suppressing odor. At the same time, while the assembly part 21 and the assembly edge 14 are pre-positioned by the positioning structure, the extension tube 231 is aligned with the avoidance gap 161, and as the deodorization module is assembled, the extension tube 231 is also inserted into the avoidance gap 161.

[0042] Taking a conventional ceiling machine as an example, the bottom wall 12 of the water receiving trough 11 is often also provided with a bearing platform 17. After the ceiling machine is normally installed, the bearing platform 17 can contact the evaporator of the ceiling machine to support the evaporator. The bearing platform 17 is provided with a plurality of notches so that the condensed water generated on both sides of the evaporator can eventually flow into the water collection recess 15. The deodorizing module 2 and the water collection recess 15 described in the present application can be located on the same side of the bearing platform 17 (inside or outside, which can also be understood as the inside or outside of the evaporator), or the deodorizing module 2 can be located on one side of the bearing platform 17, and the water collection recess 15 can be located on the other side of the bearing platform 17. The extension tube 231 of the deodorizing module 2 simultaneously passes through the corresponding notch of the bearing platform 17 and extends toward the water collection recess 15.

[0043] The present invention is not limited to ceiling air conditioners, but any air conditioner includes a water receiving tray 1 and a deodorizing module 2 described in the present application. The water receiving tray 1 has a water receiving tank 11, and the deodorizing module is detachably arranged in the water receiving tank 11.

[0044] At the same time, the air conditioner is often provided with an air inlet 13 and an air outlet, and the water tray 1 is provided with an assembly edge 14 on the side close to the air inlet 13 or the air outlet, and the deodorizing module is connected to the assembly edge 14 in a detachable manner, so that it is convenient for people to disassemble and assemble the deodorizing module from the air inlet 13 or the air outlet outside the air conditioner. Taking the ceiling air conditioner as an example, since the air inlet 13 of the ceiling air conditioner is relatively large and has sufficient space for disassembly and assembly of components, the water tray 1 is provided with an assembly edge 14 on the side close to the air inlet 13, and the deodorizing module is connected to the assembly edge 14 in a detachable manner, so that people can disassemble and assemble the deodorizing module from the air inlet 13 of the ceiling air conditioner relatively easily after removing the panel of the ceiling air conditioner.

[0045] Based on the relevant structure and assembly relationship provided in this application, the air conditioner also includes conventional components of the indoor unit including an evaporator, a fan, an electrical control box, a shell assembly and other structures; similarly, the air conditioner also includes an air conditioner outdoor unit and related components; in view of the fact that it is the prior art, it will not be elaborated here.

[0046] 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.
