The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 An air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a heat exchanger 1, a water receiving pan 2 and a heating element 3. The water receiving pan 2 is arranged below the heat exchanger 1, and a water receiving groove 21 for receiving condensed water is arranged on the water receiving pan 2. The water receiving pan 2 is used to collect and hold condensed water dripping from the surface of the heat exchanger 1. The water receiving groove 21 of the water receiving pan 2 ensures that the condensed water can be effectively collected and temporarily stored.

[0036] It is worth noting that when the heat exchanger 1 of the air conditioner 100 is installed outdoors, especially in cold winter, the temperature of the condensed water received in the water tank 21 decreases and may even freeze. The freezing of the condensed water not only causes the condensed water to be unable to flow and be processed normally, but also may block the drainage pipe, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner 100.

[0037] Therefore, the heating element 3 is arranged in the water receiving tank 21, and its main function is to heat the water in the water receiving tank 21 to prevent it from freezing.

[0038] When the heating element 3 in the air conditioner 100 is located in the water receiving tank 21, the heat exchanger 1 above it may exert pressure on the heating element 3, which may not only cause the heating element 3 to deform and affect its normal function, but also make the heat exchanger 1 unstable, thereby affecting the stability of the entire air conditioner 100.

[0039] In order to solve this problem, the air conditioner 100 of the present application further includes a support member 4. Figure 1 As shown, the support element 4 is located between the heating element 3 and the heat exchanger 1 .

[0040] Firstly, the function of the support member 4 is to support the components above the heating member 3 , such as the heat exchanger 1 , etc., to ensure that the heat exchanger 1 is stably placed inside the air conditioner 100 to avoid direct pressure on the heating member 3 .

[0041] Secondly, the support member 4 can also disperse the pressure from the heat exchanger 1 and reduce the pressure on the local position of the heating element 3. The support member 4 can disperse the pressure to a larger area, thereby reducing the pressure value per unit area and effectively protecting the heating element 3 from deformation and damage.

[0042] In addition, the support member 4 can also provide a certain buffering effect, reducing the impact of vibration and impact generated by the heat exchanger 1 during operation on the heating element 3. This can not only further protect the heating element 3, but also improve the reliability of the entire air conditioner 100.

[0043] The support member 4 is connected to at least one of the water receiving tray 2 and the heating member 3 , and supports the bottom of the heat exchanger 1 .

[0044] For example, the support member 4 is connected to the water tray 2 and supported at the bottom of the heat exchanger 1. Through such a connection method, the support member 4 can be directly connected to the water tray 2 to form a stable support base. The weight and pressure of the heat exchanger 1 are effectively transferred to the water tray 2, thereby preventing these forces from directly acting on the heating element 3, preventing the heating element 3 from being deformed or damaged due to pressure.

[0045] Alternatively, for example, the support member 4 is connected to the heating member 3 and supported at the bottom of the heat exchanger 1. By such an arrangement, the support member 4 can provide stable support for the heat exchanger 1, while also increasing the contact area between the heating member 3 and the heat exchanger 1. Specifically, when the heat exchanger 1 is subjected to external forces, these forces first act on the support member 4, and then are evenly dispersed to the surface of the heating member 3 through the connection surface between the support member 4 and the heating member 3. Due to the increase in the contact area, the force per unit area will be reduced accordingly, thereby reducing the risk of local deformation of the heating member 3.

[0046] Alternatively, for example, the support member 4 is connected to both the heating member 3 and the water receiving pan 2, and is supported at the bottom of the heat exchanger 1. This arrangement can effectively transfer the weight and pressure of the heat exchanger 1 to the water receiving pan 2, and can also increase the contact area between the heating member 3 and the heat exchanger 1.

[0047] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 is as follows: Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the support member 4 includes: a support block 41. A mounting groove 411 is provided at the bottom of the support block 41. The support block 41 is placed on the heating element 3, and the heating element 3 is at least partially located in the mounting groove 411. The mounting groove 411 is configured to be adapted to a partial shape of the heating element 3. Figure 2As shown, when the support block 41 is placed on the heating element 3, part of the heating element 3 will naturally fit into the assembly groove 411 to form a tight fit. This not only ensures a stable connection between the support block 41 and the heating element 3, but also enables the support block 41 to better disperse the pressure from the heat exchanger 1 and protect the heating element 3 from being compressed. In addition, the support block 41 can effectively support the heat exchanger 1 to prevent it from shaking or shifting due to weight and vibration, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire air conditioner 100, making it more stable and reliable during operation.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 is as follows: Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two heating elements 3 arranged side by side, and at least two assembly grooves 411 are provided at the bottom of the support block 41 to correspond to the heating elements 3 one by one.

[0049] The heating element 3 provided by the above structure can provide a larger heating area, which means that when the condensed water contacts the heating element 3, there is more surface area for heat exchange, which helps the condensed water to be converted into water vapor faster, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency.

[0050] Therefore, at least two assembly grooves 411 are provided at the bottom of the support block 41 to correspond to the heating element 3. Then, when the support block 41 is placed on the heating element 3, a part of the heating element 3 will naturally be embedded in the corresponding assembly groove 411 to form a tight fit. This not only enhances the connection strength between the support block 41 and the heating element 3, but also helps to disperse and reduce the weight and pressure from the heat exchanger 1, further protecting the heating element 3 from damage.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the support block 41 further includes: a reinforcing plate 414 disposed in the assembly groove 411, and there are multiple reinforcing plates 414, and the multiple reinforcing plates 414 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the heating element 3. The reinforcing plates 414 can enhance the force strength of the support block 41 and prevent the assembly groove 411 from expanding outward and deforming after bearing the load.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a weight-reducing groove 412 is provided on the top of the support block 41, and the weight-reducing groove 412 is located between two adjacent assembly grooves 411. By introducing the weight-reducing groove 412, the weight of the support block 41 can be reduced. In the manufacturing process, the use of materials for the support block 41 can be reduced, and the production cost can be reduced. At the same time, the support block 41 provided with the weight-reducing groove 412 also helps to reduce the weight of the entire air conditioner 100, making it lighter, easier to transport, and install.

[0053] In addition, by providing the weight-reducing groove 412, the absorption of heat from the heating element 3 by the support block 41 can be reduced. Since the weight-reducing groove 412 is located between two adjacent assembly grooves 411, the weight-reducing groove 412 forms an insulation zone, reducing the path of heat transfer through the support block 41. In this way, the heat generated by the heating element 3 can be more effectively transferred to the condensed water, thereby promoting the evaporation process of the condensed water.

[0054] In some embodiments, the support block 41 includes an assembly hole 413 passing through the weight-reducing groove 412. The assembly hole 413 is located to assemble a fastener to connect the support block 41 and the water tray 2.

[0055] In some Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the lower end of the support block 41 is spaced apart from the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 21. By setting the spacing, the interference of the support block 41 on the condensed water can be reduced, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the flow of the condensed water. The condensed water can flow more smoothly in the water receiving tank 21, ensuring the discharge effect of the condensed water.

[0056] In some embodiments, the heating element 3 is a refrigerant pipe for flowing refrigerant, such as Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the assembly groove 411 is a semicircle consistent with the shape of the refrigerant pipe. When the air conditioner 100 is in heating mode, the refrigerant in the refrigerant pipe will undergo a heating process, resulting in an increase in the temperature of the refrigerant pipe. As the temperature of the refrigerant pipe rises, its surface temperature also increases accordingly. At this time, the refrigerant pipe can effectively avoid the freezing of condensed water and promote the evaporation of condensed water. Since the cross-sectional shape of the assembly groove 411 matches the shape of the refrigerant pipe, the refrigerant pipe can be tightly embedded in the assembly groove 411 to form a stable support structure, avoiding direct contact between the heat exchanger 1 or other components and the refrigerant pipe, thereby preventing the refrigerant pipe from being subjected to unnecessary pressure or compression. This arrangement not only reduces the risk of deformation of the refrigerant pipe due to external pressure, prolongs the service life of the refrigerant pipe, but also ensures the long-term stable operation of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the support member 4 includes a support plate 43, and the bottom of the heat exchanger 1 is arranged on the support plate 43. The support plate 43 provides a continuous and flat plane to ensure that the heat exchanger 1 can be placed stably and flatly, which not only facilitates the installation and removal of the heat exchanger 1, but also helps to improve the stability of the heat exchanger 1.

[0058] The side of the support plate 43 is connected to the side wall of the water receiving tray 2. This connection method can effectively increase the stability of the support member 4, prevent the support member 4 from unnecessary displacement in the water receiving groove 21, and ensure the stable operation of the heat exchanger 1.

[0059] In some embodiments, a slot 431 is formed on at least one of the two opposite sides of the support plate 43 . The slot 431 opens downward and is stuck on the side wall of the water receiving tray 2 .

[0060] Specifically, a slot 431 is formed on one side of the support plate 43 to connect the support plate 43 to the water receiving tray 2. Through the connection of the slot 431, the support plate 43 is in contact with the water receiving tray 2. It can prevent the damage of the heating element 3, such as the refrigerant pipe, which may be caused by the shaking of the support member 4. In addition, the connection of the slot 431 also makes the installation and removal of the support plate 43 easier. The user can easily fix the support plate 43 on the water receiving tray 2, and can also easily remove it for maintenance or replacement, which helps to improve the maintainability and reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0061] Alternatively, two opposite sides of the support plate 43 are formed with slots 431 to connect the support plate 43 to the water receiving pan 2. By connecting the two slots 431 to the water receiving pan 2 at the same time, not only the contact area between the support plate 43 and the water receiving pan 2 is significantly increased, but also the stability of the support plate 43 is greatly improved. In this way, the heat exchanger 1 can be stably placed on the support plate 43, and the tilting phenomenon caused by uneven supporting force on both sides of the support plate 43 is effectively prevented, thereby ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the side edge of the support plate 43 is bent upward and then bent downward to form a slot 431 opening downward.

[0063] Specifically, the side plate of the support plate 43 includes a first section bent upward, a second section bent downward, and a third section for connecting the first section and the second section. When the support plate 43 is installed on the water receiving tray 2, the first section and the second section form a relative limit in the horizontal direction to ensure that the support plate 43 does not move in the horizontal direction. The third section is limited in the vertical direction so that the support plate 43 can also remain stable in the vertical direction.

[0064] Through this structure, a stable connection is formed between the support plate 43 and the water receiving tray 2 in multiple directions, including horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring that the heat exchanger 1 can be placed stably on the support plate 43 and avoiding the adverse effect of the tilt of the heat exchanger 1 on the heating element 3.

[0065] In some Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, one side of the two opposite sides of the support plate 43 forms a slot 431, and the other side forms a flange 432 extending upward or downward, the slot 431 is stuck on one side wall of the water receiving tray 2, and the flange 432 abuts against the inner side of the other side wall of the water receiving tray 2.

[0066] On the one hand, the card slot 431 formed on one side of the support plate 43 can be stuck on a side wall of the water receiving tray 2, thereby strengthening the connection effect between the support plate 43 and the water receiving tray 2. On the other hand, the flange 432 formed on the other side of the support plate 43 can abut against the inner side of the other side wall of the water receiving tray 2, forming a limit for the support plate 43 to prevent it from shaking. Ensure the support effect of the support plate 43 on the heat exchanger 1. In addition, the structure of the flange 432 is relatively simple and easy to process and manufacture, which not only reduces the production cost, but also improves the production efficiency. At the same time, this design also saves material costs, making the air conditioner 100 more economical.

[0067] In some embodiments, Figure 4-Figure 5 The support plate 43 is provided with a clamping hole 433, and the side wall of the water receiving tray 2 is provided with a clamping block 22 that is clamped into the clamping hole 433. The support plate 43 and the water receiving tray 2 are fixed by a buckle connection.

[0068] Specifically, when the support plate 43 needs to be installed, the operator only needs to place the support plate 43 above the water receiving tray 2, and then align the block 22 on the side wall of the water receiving tray 2 with the clamping hole 433 on the support plate 43, and gently press or push to make the block 22 smoothly clamp into the clamping hole 433. This clamping method is not only stable, but also easy to operate. In addition, the clamping method also has the advantage of being reusable. If the support plate 43 needs to be disassembled or replaced, the operator only needs to gently push the block 22 to make it disengage from the clamping hole 433, and the support plate 43 can be easily removed from the water receiving tray 2. This structure is not only easy to operate, but also improves the maintainability of the air conditioner 100.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the support member 4 includes: a support block 41 provided on the heating element 3, a support plate 43 provided on the support block 41, and the bottom of the heat exchanger 1 is placed on the support plate 43. In this way, the support block 41 is tightly connected to the heating element 3, providing direct support for the heating element 3. The support plate 43 is provided with a flat area for placing the bottom of the heat exchanger 1. Through this structure of the support member 4, not only a stable support is provided for the heating element 3, but also a flat and stable installation platform is provided for the heat exchanger 1. The support member 4 embodies a high degree of practicality and stability, and improves the performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0070] In some embodiments, the support block 41 is a plastic part. The material of the plastic part has high chemical stability and will not rust, thereby avoiding and improving the service life. At the same time, the plastic part is lighter than metal parts, so the weight of the entire air conditioner 100 can be reduced, reducing the difficulty of installation and maintenance.

[0071] The support plate 43 is a sheet metal part. Since the sheet metal part is made of metal plates through stamping, bending and other processes, it has a certain strength and rigidity. This material property enables the support plate 43 to withstand a large weight and pressure, ensuring that the heat exchanger 1 and other components are firmly placed on it. At the same time, the sheet metal part has the characteristics of good durability and high fatigue resistance. Even under long-term use and heavy pressure, the sheet metal part can maintain its shape and performance stability and is not easily deformed or damaged.

[0072] Optionally, the sheet metal part has a protective layer on its surface. The protective layer may be a galvanized layer, a spray coating, an anti-corrosion coating, etc. The protective layer can not only enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the sheet metal part, but also increase its service life to ensure that the sheet metal part has good performance.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple support members 4, and the multiple support members 4 are spaced apart and distributed along the length direction of the heating element 3. By arranging the support members 4 at different positions, the heating element 3 can be evenly supported in the length direction, avoiding the unstable placement of the heat exchanger 1 that may be caused by single-point support, thereby effectively extending the service life of the heating element 3. Secondly, the support members 4 arranged at intervals will not hinder the flow of condensed water, ensuring that the condensed water can flow smoothly in the water receiving tray 2, which is conducive to the discharge of condensed water. In addition, the interval arrangement can reduce the number and weight of the support members 4, thereby reducing material costs and manufacturing costs. At the same time, it also simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency.

[0074] In some optional embodiments, there are three support members 4, which are spaced apart and distributed along the length direction of the heating element 3, and two of the support members 4 are respectively supported at both ends of the heat exchanger 1 along the length direction, and the other support member 4 is supported in the middle of the heat exchanger 1.
