Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical technology, specifically relating to a water tray and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow rate of the air inside a building or structure. During operation, the heat exchanger of an air conditioner produces condensate. To prevent this condensate from entering the air conditioner, a drip tray is installed below the heat exchanger to collect and drain the condensate.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, the strength of the water receiving tray cannot meet the requirements, and it is prone to deformation. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a water collection tray and an air conditioner, aiming to at least partially solve the technical problem that the water collection tray's strength is insufficient and it is prone to deformation.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0006] A water receiving tray, characterized in that it comprises: a body having a first baffle and a second baffle, the first baffle and the second baffle being arranged side by side with a gap along a first direction; a first reinforcing member disposed on the body; and a second reinforcing member disposed on the body, the second reinforcing member being arranged side by side with a gap along the first direction; wherein the body has a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other along a second direction, the first baffle and the second baffle being located on the first side, the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member being located on the second side, and the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction.

[0007] Because the main body has a first baffle and a second baffle, arranged side-by-side and spaced apart along the first direction, and a first reinforcing member is located on the main body, the first reinforcing member can improve the stability of the main body, effectively distribute loads and stresses, and increase the main body's resistance to bending and torsion, enabling the main body to bear greater weight or withstand stronger external forces without damage, thus ensuring the structural strength of the main body and improving its service life. Similarly, because the second reinforcing member is located on the main body, arranged side-by-side and spaced apart along the first direction, the second reinforcing member can improve the stability of the main body, effectively distribute loads and stresses, and increase the main body's resistance to bending and torsion, enabling the main body to bear greater weight or withstand stronger external forces without damage, thus ensuring the structural strength of the main body and improving its service life. The structural strength is improved, and the service life of the main body is increased. The main body has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the second direction. The first baffle and the second baffle are located on the first side, and the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member are located on the second side. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Therefore, the first baffle, the second baffle, the main body, the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member together form an "H"-shaped structure, so that the water receiving tray forms a stable frame. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, the first baffle, the second baffle, the main body, the first reinforcing member and the second reinforcing member can share the external forces and disperse them, so that the external forces are not concentrated at a certain point or area of ​​the water receiving tray. This ensures the structural strength, compressive strength and bending strength of the water receiving tray, making the water receiving tray less prone to deformation or cracking, extending the service life of the water receiving tray and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0008] In some embodiments, along the second direction, the projection of the first reinforcing member on the body at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first baffle on the body; and along the second direction, the projection of the second reinforcing member on the body at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second baffle on the body, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0009] In some implementations, the first baffle, the second baffle, the first reinforcing member, the second reinforcing member, and the body are integrally formed to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0010] In some implementations, along a third direction, the first reinforcing member has a plurality of parallel and spaced first grooves, the first opening of the first groove is oriented toward the first direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, so as to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0011] In some embodiments, along the third direction, the first reinforcing member has a plurality of protrusions, the protrusions having the first groove, and the water receiving tray further includes: a connector, the two ends of which are respectively connected to two adjacent protrusions, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0012] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray further includes a third reinforcing member connected to the side wall of the body and the protrusion away from the first baffle, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0013] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray further includes a fourth reinforcing member connected to the body and the first reinforcing member and located between two adjacent first grooves to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drip tray further includes an adhesive element connected to the end of the first reinforcement opposite to the first baffle and connected to the fourth reinforcement element to facilitate the adhesion of the thermal insulation element.

[0015] In some implementations, along a third direction, the first reinforcing member has a plurality of parallel and spaced second grooves, the second openings of the second grooves are oriented toward the second direction, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other, so as to ensure that the first reinforcing member can improve the stability of the body.

[0016] In some embodiments, along the third direction, the first reinforcement has a plurality of protrusions, with each pair of adjacent protrusions spaced apart to form the second groove.

[0017] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray further includes a fifth reinforcing member located within the second groove and connected to two adjacent protrusions to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0018] In some implementations, the protrusion has a first groove, and the first opening of the first groove is oriented toward the first direction to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0019] In some implementations, the distance between two adjacent first grooves is less than 100 mm and greater than 30 mm; the distance between two adjacent second grooves is less than 100 mm and greater than 30 mm, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0020] In some embodiments, the second reinforcing member includes a plurality of first reinforcing portions and a plurality of second reinforcing portions, which are arranged alternately. Each of the first and second reinforcing portions includes: a support portion connected to the body; a connecting portion connected at an angle to the support portion; an adhesive portion connected at an angle to the end of the connecting portion away from the support portion and extending in a direction away from the body; and a flanged portion connected at an angle to the end of the adhesive portion away from the connecting portion. The flanged portion and the support portion are located on opposite sides of the adhesive portion. The width of the adhesive portion of the first reinforcing portion is smaller than the width of the adhesive portion of the second reinforcing portion to ensure that the first reinforcing member can improve the stability of the body.

[0021] In some embodiments, both the first reinforcing part and the second reinforcing part further include: a first reinforcing rib connected to the supporting part, the body and the connecting part; and a second reinforcing rib connected at an angle to the first reinforcing rib and connected to the body, so as to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0022] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides an air conditioner, including the aforementioned water receiving tray. Attached Figure Description

[0050] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0051] The water tray and air conditioner provided in this embodiment are intended to solve, to at least a certain extent, the technical problem that the strength of the water tray cannot meet the requirements and that it is prone to deformation.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the water receiving tray in some embodiments; Figure 5 for Figure 1 Front view of the central water tray; Figure 6 for Figure 5 CC-direction sectional view; Figure 7 for Figure 1 Top view of the central water tray; Figure 8 for Figure 7 Sectional view along the DD direction. Combined with... Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The water receiving tray of this application embodiment includes: a body 10, a first reinforcing member 20, and a third reinforcing member 30. The body 10 has a first baffle 101 and a second baffle 102, which are arranged side-by-side with a gap along a first direction. The first reinforcing member 20 is disposed on the body 10. The second reinforcing member 30 is disposed on the body 10, and is arranged side-by-side with a gap along the first direction. The body 10 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along a second direction. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on the first side, and the first reinforcing member 20 and the second reinforcing member 30 are located on the second side. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0053] The baffle can be located on the edge of the body 10.

[0054] The body 10 can be a rectangle, with the first direction being the width of the body 10 and the second direction being the depth of the body 10.

[0055] Taking a spatial rectangular coordinate system as an example, the first direction can be the y-direction, and the second direction can be the z-direction.

[0056] Since the body 10 has a first baffle 101 and a second baffle 102, arranged side-by-side and spaced apart along the first direction, and a first reinforcing member 20 is disposed on the body 10, the first reinforcing member 20 can improve the stability of the body 10, effectively distribute loads and stresses, and increase the bending and torsional mechanical properties of the body 10. This allows the body 10 to bear greater weight or withstand stronger external forces without damage, ensuring the structural strength of the body 10 and improving its service life. Similarly, since a second reinforcing member 30 is disposed on the body 10, arranged side-by-side and spaced apart along the first direction, the second reinforcing member 30 can improve the stability of the body 10, effectively distribute loads and stresses, and increase the bending and torsional mechanical properties of the body 10. This allows the body 10 to bear greater weight or withstand stronger external forces without damage, ensuring its structural strength and improving its service life. The structural strength of the body 10 is improved, and its service life is increased. The body 10 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the second direction. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on the first side, and the first reinforcing member 20 and the second reinforcing member 30 are located on the second side. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Therefore, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the body 10, the first reinforcing member 20 and the second reinforcing member 30 together form an "H"-shaped structure, so that the water receiving tray forms a stable frame. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the body 10, the first reinforcing member 20 and the second reinforcing member 30 can share the external forces and disperse them, so that the external forces are not concentrated at a certain point or area of ​​the water receiving tray. This ensures the structural strength, compressive strength and bending strength of the water receiving tray, making the water receiving tray less prone to deformation or breakage, extending the service life of the water receiving tray and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0057] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, along the second direction, the projection of the first reinforcing member 20 on the body 10 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first baffle 101 on the body 10. That is, the first baffle 101 is located in the extension direction of the first reinforcing member 20, forming a double-reinforced structure in this area of ​​the body 10. Through the interaction between the first reinforcing member 20 and the first baffle 101, the compressive, bending and shear resistance of this area is improved. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, it is less likely to deform or be damaged. Moreover, the stress will propagate between the first reinforcing member 20 and the first baffle 101, which can effectively guide the stress distribution and make the stress more evenly distributed throughout the structure. This can reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress.

[0058] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the projection of the second reinforcing member 30 on the body 10 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second baffle 102 on the body 10 along the second direction. That is, the second baffle 102 is located in the extension direction of the second reinforcing member 30, forming a double-reinforced structure in this area of ​​the body 10. Through the interaction between the second reinforcing member 30 and the second baffle 102, the compressive, bending and shear resistance of this area is improved. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, it is less likely to deform or be damaged. Moreover, the stress will propagate between the second reinforcing member 30 and the second baffle 102, which can effectively guide the stress distribution and make the stress more evenly distributed throughout the structure. This can reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress.

[0059] In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the drip tray, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the first reinforcing member 20, the second reinforcing member 30, and the body 10 are integrally formed, so that the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the first reinforcing member 20, the second reinforcing member 30, and the body 10 are tightly connected in the same manufacturing process without additional connection points or seams, achieving a seamless connection, enhancing the structural integrity of the drip tray, enabling each component to work together as a whole to resist external pressure and deformation, ensuring sealing, preventing leakage of condensate received by the body 10, and improving the strength and rigidity of the drip tray, making the drip tray less prone to deformation or damage. At the same time, it simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the assembly steps and the number of required parts in the manufacturing process, and reduces production costs and manufacturing cycle.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the first reinforcing member 20, the second reinforcing member 30, and the body 10 can be integrally formed by injection molding. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on the first side, and the first reinforcing member 20 and the second reinforcing member 30 are located on the second side. That is, the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on opposite sides of the body 10, which can reduce the height of the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 in the second direction, making the flange shorter, reducing the amount of concavity, and ensuring the structural strength and shape stability of the water receiving tray.

[0061] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the arrangement of the first reinforcing member; Figure 4 for Figure 3 Enlarged view of point B in the middle. (Combined with...) Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, to ensure that the first reinforcing member 20 can improve the stability of the body 10, multiple parallel and spaced first grooves 201 are provided on the first reinforcing member 20 along a third direction. The first opening of the first groove 201 is oriented towards a first direction, and the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The multiple first grooves 201 can form multiple "rib"-like structures on the first reinforcing member 20, which can effectively resist bending and deformation when the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, thereby enhancing the structural rigidity of the first reinforcing member 20 and the water receiving tray. Moreover, the stress will propagate along the edge and bottom of the first groove 201, thereby dispersing it to a larger area to reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the weight of the water receiving tray can be reduced while reducing structural strength, achieving lightweighting, reducing material usage, and reducing costs. The third direction can be the length direction of the body 10. Taking a spatial rectangular coordinate system as an example, the third direction can be the x-direction.

[0062] In some embodiments, along a third direction, the first groove 201 has two opposing first sidewalls, which can resist the external force from the water receiving tray in the second direction. Along the second direction, the first groove 201 has two opposing second sidewalls, which are connected to the two first sidewalls. The two second sidewalls can hold the two first sidewalls to resist the external force from the second direction, prevent the two first sidewalls from deforming, and ensure the structural strength of the first reinforcing member 20.

[0063] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to prevent condensation, a heat insulation component is bonded to the outside of the water receiving tray. To facilitate the bonding of the heat insulation component, the first reinforcing member 20 has multiple protrusions 202 along a third direction. Each protrusion 202 has a first groove 201. The ends of the protrusions 202 facing away from the first groove 201 provide a bonding area for the heat insulation component, facilitating its bonding. Furthermore, as part of the first reinforcing member 20, the multiple protrusions 202 can disperse stress when subjected to external forces from the water receiving tray, reducing direct impact on the main body 10 and enhancing the overall structural strength of the water receiving tray. The heat insulation component can be a sponge.

[0064] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the water receiving tray also includes a connector 40. The connector 40 is connected at both ends to two adjacent protrusions 202. As an additional support structure, the connector 40 firmly connects the adjacent protrusions 202 together, forming a stable integral structure. Stress can be transferred and dispersed between the adjacent protrusions 202 through the connector 40, thereby avoiding excessive stress concentration in a single protrusion 202 or local area. This effectively disperses the stress on the water receiving tray when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of structural damage due to local stress concentration and improving the overall structural strength of the water receiving tray. Simultaneously, the connector 40 provides a bonding area for the insulation component, facilitating its bonding and increasing the bonding area between the insulation component and the water receiving tray, ensuring the stability of the insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. The width of the connector 40 is greater than 5 mm.

[0065] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further improve the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the water receiving tray also includes a third reinforcing member 50. The third reinforcing member 50 is connected to the body 10 and the protrusion 202 away from the first baffle 101. As an additional support structure, the third reinforcing member 50 directly connects the body 10 and the protrusion 202, forming a stable structure. When subjected to external forces, stress can be more effectively transferred and dispersed between the body 10 and the protrusion 202 through the third reinforcing member 50, avoiding excessive stress concentration in local areas. This can enhance the overall structural strength of the water receiving tray, enabling it to better resist external forces and reducing the risk of deformation and damage to the water receiving tray.

[0066] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further improve the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the water receiving tray further includes a fourth reinforcing member 60. The fourth reinforcing member 60 is connected to the body 10 and the first reinforcing member 20 and is located between two adjacent first grooves 201. The area between two adjacent first grooves 201 provides additional support, which can prevent the water receiving tray from deformation or damage caused by stress concentration, thereby improving the structural stability of the water receiving tray. At the same time, the fourth reinforcing member 60 can provide a bonding area for the insulation member, so as to facilitate the bonding of the insulation member and increase the bonding area between the insulation member and the water receiving tray, thus ensuring the stability of the insulation member bonded to the water receiving tray.

[0067] In some embodiments, there may be multiple fourth reinforcing members 60, which are spaced apart along a third direction. One of the multiple fourth reinforcing members 60 may be located at the edge of the first groove 201 to increase the depth of the first groove 201 and further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0068] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to facilitate the bonding of the insulation component, the water receiving tray further includes an adhesive component 70. The adhesive component 70 is connected to the end of the first reinforcing member 20 away from the first baffle 101 and to the fourth reinforcing member 60. The adhesive component 70 can provide a bonding area for the insulation component, facilitating its bonding and increasing the bonding area between the insulation component and the water receiving tray, thus ensuring the stability of the insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. At the same time, the fourth reinforcing member 60, the adhesive component 70, the body 10, and the first reinforcing member 20 are connected to form a complete structure. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the stress can be transferred between the fourth reinforcing member 60, the adhesive component 70, the body 10, and the first reinforcing member 20 to achieve stress dispersion, further ensuring the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0069] In some embodiments, both the first baffle 101 and the adhesive 70 have flanges, and the thermal insulation component can be bonded between the two flanges. The two flanges limit the thermal insulation component to facilitate bonding of the thermal insulation component, while also ensuring the structural strength of the first baffle 101 and the adhesive 70.

[0070] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the first reinforcing member 20 can improve the stability of the body 10, the first reinforcing member 20 is provided with a plurality of parallel and spaced second grooves 203 along a third direction. The second opening of the second groove 203 is oriented towards the second direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The plurality of second grooves 203 can form a plurality of "rib"-like structures on the first reinforcing member 20. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, it can effectively resist bending and deformation, thereby enhancing the structural rigidity of the first reinforcing member 20 and the water receiving tray. Moreover, the stress will spread along the edge and bottom of the second groove 203, thereby dispersing it to a larger area to reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the weight of the water receiving tray can be reduced while reducing structural strength, achieving lightweighting, reducing material usage and reducing costs.

[0071] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the second groove 203 has two oppositely arranged third sidewalls, which can resist the external force from the water receiving tray in the first direction. Along the third direction, the second groove 203 has two oppositely arranged fourth sidewalls, which are connected to the two third sidewalls. The two fourth sidewalls can hold the two third sidewalls to resist the external force from the first direction, prevent the two third sidewalls from deforming, and ensure the structural strength of the first reinforcing member 20.

[0072] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to form the second groove 203, the first reinforcing member 20 has a plurality of protrusions 202 along a third direction, with each pair of adjacent protrusions 202 spaced apart to form the second groove 203. The alternating arrangement of the protrusions 202 and the second groove 203 can enhance the rigidity of the first reinforcing member 20. The protrusions 203 serve as support points and can resist external pressure and deformation, while the second groove 203 helps to disperse stress and prevent damage caused by stress concentration, thus ensuring the structural strength of the first reinforcing member 20.

[0073] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the water receiving tray further includes a fifth reinforcing member 80. The fifth reinforcing member 80 is located within the second groove 203 and connected to two adjacent protrusions 202. As an additional support structure, the fifth reinforcing member 80 firmly connects the adjacent protrusions 202 together, forming a stable integral structure. Stress can be transferred and dispersed between the second groove 203 and the adjacent protrusions 202 through the fifth reinforcing member 80, thereby avoiding excessive stress concentration in a single protrusion 202 or local area. This effectively disperses the stress on the water receiving tray when subjected to external forces, reduces the risk of structural damage due to local stress concentration, and improves the overall structural strength of the water receiving tray. Simultaneously, the fifth reinforcing member 80 can provide a bonding area for the insulation component, facilitating its bonding and increasing the bonding area between the insulation component and the water receiving tray, ensuring the stability of the insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. The fifth reinforcing member 80 can be arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the connecting member 40.

[0074] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the protrusion 202 is provided with a first groove 201. The first opening of the first groove 201 is oriented in a first direction. The first groove 201 and the second groove 203 are arranged alternately to form a more complex support structure, which can distribute external loads, reduce stress concentration, and thus enhance the structural stability of the entire water receiving tray. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the alternately arranged first groove 201 and second groove 203 can restrain each other and limit their deformation, so that the water receiving tray can maintain good shape stability when subjected to external force and reduce the risk of deformation and damage.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first reinforcing member 20 has a first groove 201 and a second groove 203, which can ensure the strength and deformation resistance of the water receiving tray and reduce the overall thickness of the water receiving tray. Compared with the previously used ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic) material, PP (polypropylene) material can be used as a substitute. Since PP material is cheaper and has a lower density, it can reduce the cost by more than 25% compared with ABS material, thereby achieving the purpose of cost reduction.

[0076] In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the distance between two adjacent first grooves 201 is less than 100 mm and greater than 30 mm, and the distance between two adjacent second grooves 203 is less than 100 mm and greater than 30 mm. This can maximize the structural strength of the water receiving tray while ensuring effective use of materials. Moreover, the distribution of the first grooves 201 and the second grooves 203 is neither too dense nor too sparse, forming an effective support network. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, the first grooves 201 and the second grooves 203 can serve as stress dispersion points, uniformly transmitting the external forces to the entire structure, thereby improving the deformation resistance of the water receiving tray.

[0077] In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the connector 40, the third reinforcing member 50, the fourth reinforcing member 60, the fifth reinforcing member 70, and the first reinforcing member 20 are integrally formed, so that the connector 40, the third reinforcing member 50, the fourth reinforcing member 60, the fifth reinforcing member 70, and the first reinforcing member 20 are tightly connected in the same manufacturing process without additional connection points or seams, achieving a seamless connection, enhancing the structural integrity of the water receiving tray, enabling each component to work together as a whole to resist external pressure and deformation, and improving the strength and rigidity of the water receiving tray, making the water receiving tray less prone to deformation or damage. At the same time, it can simplify the manufacturing process, reduce the assembly steps and the number of required parts in the manufacturing process, and reduce production costs and manufacturing cycle.

[0078] Figure 2 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of point A in the middle; Figure 9 for Figure 1 Rear view of the central water tray; Figure 10 for Figure 9 Cross-sectional view of the first reinforcing section of the central water receiving tray; Figure 11 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional view of the second reinforcing section of the central water receiving tray. (Combined with...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, to ensure that the first reinforcing member 20 can improve the stability of the body 10, the second reinforcing member 30 includes: a plurality of first reinforcing parts 301 and a plurality of second reinforcing parts 302. The plurality of first reinforcing parts 301 and the plurality of second reinforcing parts 302 are arranged alternately, that is, the second reinforcing part 302 is located between two adjacent first reinforcing parts 301 and connected to the two adjacent first reinforcing parts 301. The plurality of first reinforcing parts 301 are all connected to the body 10, and the plurality of second reinforcing parts 302 are all connected to the body 10. The alternate arrangement of the first reinforcing parts 301 and the second reinforcing parts 302 forms a stable support network and is tightly connected to the body 10. It can effectively disperse and resist external loads, thereby improving the stability of the body 10. Moreover, it can increase the overall material thickness of the water receiving tray, enhance the structural rigidity of the water receiving tray, prevent the water receiving tray from deforming or being damaged when subjected to external forces, and ensure the service life of the water receiving tray.

[0079] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, to ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, both the first reinforcing part 301 and the second reinforcing part 302 include: a supporting part 3011, a connecting part 3012, an adhesive part 3013, and a flanged part 3014. The supporting part 3011 is connected to the body 10. The connecting part 3012 is connected to the supporting part 3011 at an angle. The adhesive part 3013 is connected to the end of the connecting part 3012 away from the supporting part 3011 at an angle and extends in a direction away from the body 10. The flanged portion 3014 and the adhesive portion 3013 are connected at an angle to the end opposite to the connecting portion 3012. The flanged portion 3014 and the support portion 3011 are located on opposite sides of the adhesive portion 3013. Through the cooperation of the support portion 3011, the connecting portion 3012, the adhesive portion 3013, and the flanged portion 3014, the load and stress can be effectively distributed, increasing the bending and torsional mechanical properties of the body 10. This allows the body 10 to bear greater weight or withstand stronger external forces without damage, ensuring the structural strength of the body 10 and improving its service life. The included angle between the connecting portion 3012 and the support portion 3011 can be acute, right, or obtuse, and the included angle between the adhesive portion 3013 and the connecting portion 3012 can also be acute, right, or obtuse.

[0080] Combination Figure 10 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the width of the adhesive portion 3013 of the first reinforcing portion 301 is smaller than the width of the adhesive portion 3013 of the second reinforcing portion 302. Therefore, the width of the adhesive portion 3013 of the first reinforcing portion 301 is shorter, so that the flange portion 3014 of the first reinforcing portion 301 is close to the connecting portion 3012. This allows the connecting portion 3012 of the first reinforcing portion 301 to resist the force on the flange portion 3014 of the first reinforcing portion 301, reducing the outward expansion or inward concavity of the flange portion 3014 of the first reinforcing portion 301 and ensuring the structural strength of the water receiving tray. At the same time, the adhesive portion 3013 of the first reinforcing portion 301 can provide a bonding area for the thermal insulation component, facilitating the bonding of the thermal insulation component and ensuring the stability of the thermal insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. The adhesive portion 3013 of the second reinforcing part 302 is relatively wide, which can provide sufficient bonding area for the insulation component, so as to facilitate the bonding of the insulation component and increase the bonding area between the insulation component and the water receiving tray, ensuring the stability of the insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. At the same time, the adhesive portion 3013 of the second reinforcing part 302 can resist the force from the water receiving tray from the second direction, prevent the two water receiving trays from deforming, and ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.

[0081] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the insulation component when it is bonded to the water receiving tray, the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the first reinforcing portion 301 can be 5mm-10mm.

[0082] In some embodiments, in order to achieve sufficient bonding between the thermal insulation member and the adhesive portion 3013 of the second reinforcing portion 302, the width of the adhesive portion 3013 of the second reinforcing portion 302 may be greater than the width of the adhesive portion 3013 of the first reinforcing portion 301 by more than 5 mm.

[0083] Combination Figure 9In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, both the first reinforcing part 301 and the second reinforcing part 302 further include a first reinforcing rib 3015 and a second reinforcing rib 3016. The first reinforcing rib 3015 is connected to the supporting part 3011, the body 10 and the connecting part 3012. The second reinforcing rib 3016 is connected at an angle to the first reinforcing rib 3015 and to the body 10. The first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016 serve as additional support structures, providing additional strength to the water receiving tray and improving its overall rigidity. This allows the water receiving tray to better resist deformation and torsion when subjected to external forces. Moreover, when the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, the stress can be gradually dispersed throughout the structure through the guidance of the first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016. The first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016 can make the stress more evenly distributed inside the water receiving tray, thereby avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration. At the same time, the first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016 can provide a bonding area for the insulation component, facilitating the bonding of the insulation component and increasing the bonding area between the insulation component and the water receiving tray, thus ensuring the stability of the insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray.

[0084] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, the body 10 has a first side plate 103 and a second side plate 104. The first baffle 101, the first side plate 103, the second baffle 102 and the second side plate 104 are connected end to end to form a water receiving area. The first side plate 103 is provided with a water outlet 105 that communicates with the water receiving area. The water outlet 105 is located outside the water receiving area to discharge the condensate water received by the water receiving area.

[0085] Figure 12 for Figure 1 Side view of the central water tray. (Combined with...) Figure 1 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the second side plate 104, the second side plate 104 is provided with a third groove 106. The third groove 106 is closer to the second reinforcing member 30 than the first reinforcing member 20. The third groove 106 can enhance the structural rigidity of the second side plate 104. Moreover, the stress will spread along the edge and bottom of the third groove 106, thereby dispersing it to a larger area to reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the weight of the water receiving tray can be reduced while reducing structural strength, achieving lightweighting, reducing material usage, and reducing costs.

[0086] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 12In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the second side plate 104, the water receiving tray further includes a sixth reinforcing member 90. The sixth reinforcing member 90 is connected to the second side plate 104 and located within the third groove 106. It can ensure the structural strength of the second side plate 104, effectively distribute loads and stresses, increase the bending and torsional mechanical properties of the second side plate 104, and improve the service life of the second side plate 104.
