[0027] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, comprising: an air conditioner body 1 and a water receiving tray 2. The water receiving tray 2 is connected to the air conditioner body 1. The air conditioner can be, but is not limited to, an embedded air conditioner.

[0029] The air conditioner body 1 is provided with a positioning and straightening matching part. The water receiving tray 2 is provided with a positioning and straightening part, which is configured to cooperate with the positioning and straightening matching part to locate the relative position of the water receiving tray 2 and the air conditioner body 1 and to straighten the water receiving tray 2.

[0030] In this way, during the assembly process of the water receiving pan 2, the relative position of the water receiving pan 2 and the air-conditioning body 1 can be positioned by the cooperation between the positioning and straightening part and the positioning and straightening matching part, and the water receiving pan 2 can be straightened to alleviate or even eliminate the deformation of the incoming water receiving pan 2. This is conducive to reducing the risk of subsequent inability to assemble, assembly difficulty, or assembly clearance not meeting design requirements due to deformation of the incoming water receiving pan 2, and is also conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0031] In some exemplary embodiments, the positioning and straightening portion includes a positioning and straightening convex portion, and the positioning and straightening matching portion includes a positioning and straightening concave portion. The positioning and straightening convex portion cooperates with the positioning and straightening concave portion to play a positioning role and also play a straightening role for the docking water tray 2.

[0032] Of course, the positioning and straightening part and the positioning and straightening matching part are not limited to the structural form of the positioning and straightening convex part and the positioning and straightening concave part, and the positions can also be exchanged to adopt the concave-convex matching form of the positioning and straightening concave part and the positioning and straightening convex part. Alternatively, the positioning and straightening part and the positioning and straightening concave part can also adopt the form of contact matching between the straightening surfaces and the straightening surfaces, or the form of conflict matching between the straightening ribs and the straightening ribs.

[0033] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the positioning and alignment protrusion includes a plurality of positioning and alignment posts 211 arranged at intervals. The positioning and alignment recess includes a plurality of positioning and alignment holes 1113 arranged at intervals, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown. A plurality of positioning and alignment posts 211 are arranged to be inserted into a plurality of positioning and alignment holes 1113 one by one. Figure 6 shown.

[0034] Among them, a plurality of positioning and alignment posts 211 can be arranged in a row at intervals along a straight line direction, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown. A plurality of positioning and alignment holes 1113 can be arranged in a row at intervals along the straight line direction, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6The positioning and alignment column 211 can be configured as a cylindrical structure or a truncated cone structure with an inclination, so that the positioning and alignment column 211 can be quickly inserted into the positioning and alignment hole 1113, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0035] Of course, the positioning and straightening convex part is not limited to the structural form of multiple positioning and straightening columns, and can also be a structural form of positioning and straightening ribs, positioning and straightening plates, multiple positioning and straightening convex hulls, etc. The positioning and straightening concave part is also not limited to the structural form of multiple positioning and straightening holes, and can also be a structural form of positioning and straightening guide grooves, positioning and straightening plates, multiple positioning and straightening pits, etc.

[0036] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner body 1 includes a casing 11, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 11 includes a first side plate 111 and a second side plate 112 that are arranged opposite to each other. The first side plate 111 is provided with a first mounting surface 1111. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The second side plate 112 is provided with a second assembly surface 1121, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The water receiving tray 2 is provided with a first mating surface 21 and a second mating surface 22 spaced apart along the length direction of the water receiving tray 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first mating surface 21 is fixedly connected to the first assembly surface 1111 , and the second mating surface 22 is fixedly connected to the second assembly surface 1121 .

[0037] The first side panel 111 may be a left side panel, and the first assembly surface 1111 may be an end surface (lower end surface) in the height direction of the left side panel, and specifically may be a lower plate surface of the bottom flange of the left side panel. The second side panel 112 may be a right side panel, and the second assembly surface 1121 may be an end surface (lower end surface) in the height direction of the right side panel, and specifically may be a lower plate surface of the bottom flange of the right side panel. The left side panel may be a side panel on the side where the refrigerant inlet and outlet pipes of the heat exchanger 14 are located. The first mating surface 21 of the water receiving tray 2 may be an upper end surface of the left end portion of the water receiving tray 2, and specifically may be an upper plate surface of the left flange of the upper part of the water receiving tray 2. The second mating surface 22 may be an upper end surface of the right end portion of the water receiving tray 2, and specifically may be an upper plate surface of the right flange of the upper part of the water receiving tray 2. The first mating surface 21 and the second mating surface 22 may be perpendicular to the height direction of the casing 11 and extend along the front-to-back direction of the casing 11. The height direction of the casing 11 is consistent with the depth direction of the water receiving tray 2.

[0038] The first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 are components of the casing 11 of the air conditioner body 1, and are usually sheet metal parts with high structural strength. Therefore, the first mating surface 21 is fixedly connected to the first assembly surface 1111, and the second mating surface 22 is fixedly connected to the second assembly surface 1121, which can realize the fixed connection between the water receiving tray 2 and the casing 11, which is conducive to improving the position stability and fixing reliability of the water receiving tray 2.

[0039] It is possible that the first mating surface 21 is provided with a positioning and straightening portion, and the first assembly surface 1111 is provided with a positioning and straightening matching portion. It is also possible that the second mating surface 22 is provided with a positioning and straightening portion, and the second assembly surface 1121 is provided with a positioning and straightening matching portion. It is also possible that both the first mating surface 21 and the second mating surface 22 are provided with a positioning and straightening portion, and both the first assembly surface 1111 and the second assembly surface 1121 are provided with a positioning and straightening matching portion.

[0040] In this way, the casing 11 with relatively high strength can be used to better align the water tray 2 , and it is beneficial to ensure the assembly accuracy of the water tray 2 .

[0041] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a first sealing strip 31 and a second sealing strip 32. Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first sealing strip 31 is sandwiched between the first mating surface 21 and the first assembly surface 1111 , and the second sealing strip 32 is sandwiched between the second mating surface 22 and the second assembly surface 1121 .

[0042] In this way, the first sealing strip 31 and the second sealing strip 32 can seal the gap between the water tray 2 and the casing 11, which is beneficial to prevent air flow, water flow, and heat from spreading to the outside of the casing 11 through the gap between the water tray 2 and the casing 11, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the air conditioner and the energy efficiency of the entire machine.

[0043] The material of the first sealing strip 31 and the second sealing strip 32 is not limited, and can be any soft material with sealing function, such as sponge, flannel, rubber, silicone, etc.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the first sealing strip 31 is bonded to the first mating surface 21 , and the second sealing strip 32 is bonded to the second mating surface 22 .

[0045] In this way, the water receiving tray 2 is fixed to the casing 11 by directly utilizing the positioning and alignment matching structure between the water receiving tray 2 and the casing 11, and the first sealing strip 31 and the second sealing adhesive can be clamped between the casing 11 and the water receiving tray 2, which is convenient to assemble and has reliable sealing.

[0046] Of course, the fixing method of the first sealing strip 31 and the second sealing strip 32 is not limited thereto. For example, they may be bonded to the housing, or fixed by snap-fitting or other methods.

[0047] In some exemplary embodiments, the positioning and straightening portion includes a positioning and straightening protrusion, and the first sealing strip 31 and / or the second sealing strip 32 is provided with a first avoidance hole 311 for avoiding the positioning and straightening protrusion. Figure 3 As shown, the positioning and straightening protrusion is penetrated through the first avoidance hole 311 .

[0048] This can avoid the first sealing strip 31 / the second sealing strip 32 from interfering with the positioning and alignment protrusion to affect the positioning and alignment effect or the sealing effect, and can also play a positioning role in the assembly between the first sealing strip 31 / the second sealing strip 32 and the water receiving tray 2, thereby helping to improve assembly efficiency.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, the first mating surface 21 is fixedly connected to the first assembly surface 1111 by fasteners, and the second mating surface 22 is fixedly connected to the second assembly surface 1121 by fasteners. The first sealing strip 31 and / or the second sealing strip 32 is provided with a second avoidance hole 312 for avoiding the fasteners, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fastener is inserted into the second avoidance hole 312. The first assembly surface 1111 and the second assembly surface 1121 can be provided with a first connection hole 1112, the first mating surface 21 and the second mating surface 22 can be provided with a second connection hole 212, and the first connection hole 1112, the second avoidance hole 312, and the second connection hole 212 corresponding to the same fastener are correspondingly connected. The first connection hole 1112 can be a screw hole, and the second connection hole 212 can be a screw through hole. The screw is inserted into the screw through hole, and the second avoidance hole 312 is threadedly connected with the screw hole.

[0050] This can avoid interference between the first sealing strip 31 / the second sealing strip 32 and the fasteners to affect the fastener assembly process or sealing effect, and can also play a positioning role in the assembly between the first sealing strip 31 / the second sealing strip 32 and the water receiving tray 2, thereby helping to improve assembly efficiency.

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner body 1 further includes a middle partition 12, such as Figure 1 The middle partition plate 12 is provided with a third assembly surface 121, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 6 The water receiving tray 2 is provided with a third matching surface 23, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 The air conditioner also includes a third sealing strip 33, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the third sealing strip 33 is sandwiched between the third matching surface 23 and the third assembly surface 121 .

[0052] The middle partition 12 can be erected in the casing 11 to divide the internal space of the casing 11 into a fan cavity and a heat exchange cavity. The air conditioner body 1 can also include a fan assembly 15 and a heat exchanger 14, the fan assembly 15 is located in the fan cavity, the heat exchanger 14 and the water receiving tray 2 are located in the heat exchange cavity, and the water receiving tray 2 is located on the lower side of the heat exchanger 14. A vent can be provided on the middle partition 12 to ensure that the airflow generated by the fan assembly 15 can flow through the heat exchange cavity. Among them, the airflow direction may also be different depending on the rotation direction of the fan assembly 15. It can be that the fan assembly 15 drives the airflow to flow through the heat exchange cavity to the fan cavity, then the heat exchange cavity can be located on the front side of the fan cavity, the middle partition 12 is located on the rear side of the water receiving tray 2, and the third mating surface 23 can be a partial surface of the rear side wall of the water receiving tray 2. Alternatively, the fan assembly 15 drives the airflow through the fan cavity to flow to the heat exchange cavity, then the heat exchange cavity can be located on the rear side of the fan cavity, the middle partition 12 is located on the front side of the water receiving tray 2, and the third mating surface 23 can be a partial surface of the front side wall of the water receiving tray 2.

[0053] In this way, the third sealing strip 33 can seal the gap between the water tray 2 and the middle partition 12, which is beneficial to prevent air flow, water flow, and heat from escaping between the heat exchange chamber and the fan chamber through the gap between the water tray 2 and the middle partition 12, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the air conditioner and the energy efficiency of the entire machine.

[0054] In some embodiments, the third mating surface 23 is also provided with a positioning and alignment portion, and the third assembly surface 121 is also provided with a positioning and alignment mating portion.

[0055] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner body 1 further includes an air duct foam member 13, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air duct foam member 13 is provided with a fourth assembly surface 131, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 The water receiving tray 2 is provided with a fourth matching surface 24, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 The air conditioner also includes a fourth sealing strip 34, as shown. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the fourth sealing strip 34 is sandwiched between the fourth matching surface 24 and the fourth assembly surface 131 .

[0056] The air duct foam piece 13 constitutes a part of the air duct. The air duct foam piece 13 can be a return air foam piece located near the return air port. The airflow flows to the fan assembly 15 through the heat exchanger 14 and then is discharged through the air outlet. Alternatively, the air duct foam piece 13 can also be an outlet foam piece located near the air outlet. The airflow flows to the heat exchanger 14 through the fan assembly 15 and then is discharged through the air outlet. The air duct foam piece 13 can be fixedly matched with the housing 11.

[0057] In this way, the fourth sealing strip 34 can seal the gap between the water tray 2 and the air duct foam piece 13, which is beneficial to prevent air flow, water flow, and heat from overflowing through the gap between the water tray 2 and the air duct foam piece 13, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the air conditioner and the energy efficiency of the entire machine.

[0058] In some embodiments, the fourth mating surface 24 is also provided with a positioning and alignment portion, and the fourth assembly surface 131 is also provided with a positioning and alignment mating portion.

[0059] In some embodiments, the fourth assembly surface 131 is arranged opposite to the third assembly surface 121, the fourth mating surface 24 is arranged opposite to the third mating surface 23 along the width direction of the water receiving tray 2 (i.e., the front and rear directions of the housing 11), and the fourth sealing strip 34 is arranged opposite to the third sealing strip 33 along the width direction of the water receiving tray 2. Therefore, the first sealing strip 31, the second sealing strip 32, the third sealing strip 33, and the fourth sealing strip 34 are arranged along the circumference of the water receiving tray 2 to seal the periphery of the water receiving tray 2.

[0060] In some exemplary embodiments, the air conditioner body 1 further includes a heat exchanger 14, such as Figure 2 The water receiving tray 2 is also provided with a limiting surface 25, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the limiting surface 25 is configured to provide limiting support to the bottom of the heat exchanger 14. The air conditioner also includes a fifth sealing strip 35, such as Figure 3 The fifth sealing strip 35 is sandwiched between the limiting surface 25 and the bottom of the heat exchanger 14. The heat exchanger 14 can be tilted in the housing 11, and the limiting surface 25 can also be tilted to adapt to the tilted bottom surface 141 of the heat exchanger 14.

[0061] In this way, the fifth sealing strip 35 can seal the gap between the water tray 2 and the heat exchanger 14, which is beneficial to prevent air flow, water flow and heat from overflowing through the gap between the water tray 2 and the heat exchanger 14, thereby helping to improve the reliability of the air conditioner and the energy efficiency of the whole machine.

[0062] As for the material of the third sealing strip 33 , the fourth sealing strip 34 , and the fifth sealing strip 35 , there is no limitation, and they may be various soft materials with sealing function, such as sponge, flannel, rubber, silicone, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the third sealing strip 33 is bonded to the third mating surface 23, the fourth sealing strip 34 is bonded to the fourth mating surface 24, and the fifth sealing strip 35 is bonded to the fifth mating surface. Of course, the fixing method of the third sealing strip 33, the fourth sealing strip 34, and the fifth sealing strip 35 is not limited thereto, for example, they can also be bonded to the middle partition, the air duct foam part, the heat exchanger, or fixed by clamping or the like.

[0064] In some embodiments, the fifth mating surface is also provided with a positioning and alignment portion, and the fifth assembly surface is also provided with a positioning and alignment mating portion.

[0065] In one embodiment, the positioning and straightening portion includes two positioning and straightening posts 211 disposed on the first mating surface 21. Figure 6 As shown, the positioning and alignment matching portion includes two positioning and alignment holes 1113 provided on the first assembly surface 1111. The first matching surface 21, the second matching surface 22, the third matching surface 23, the fourth matching surface 24, and the limiting surface 25 of the water receiving tray 2 are respectively pasted with the first sealing strip 31, the second sealing strip 32, the third sealing strip 33, the fourth sealing strip 34, and the fifth sealing strip 35.

[0066] During the assembly process of the water tray 2, the two positioning and alignment columns 211 first contact the positioning and alignment holes 1113 and are inserted into the positioning and alignment holes 1113. At this time, the first sealing strip 31, the second sealing strip 32, and the third sealing strip 33 on the water tray 2 contact the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112 of the housing 11. In addition, the second connection hole 212 on the water tray 2 is concentrically aligned with the first connection hole 1112 on the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 112. At this time, the screws are locked to achieve the fixed connection between the water tray 2 and the housing 11. The middle partition 12 and the heat exchanger 14 can be assembled after the water tray 2 is fixed to reduce the difficulty of assembling the housing 11. When the middle partition 12 is assembled, the third assembly surface 121 of the middle partition 12 is in close contact with the third sealing strip 33 on the water tray 2. When the heat exchanger 14 is assembled, the bottom surface 141 of the heat exchanger 14 is in close contact with the fifth sealing strip 35 on the water tray 2. Of course, the middle partition 12 can also be assembled before the water receiving tray 2, and the heat exchanger 14 can also be assembled before the water receiving tray 2. The air duct foam member 13 can be assembled before or after the water receiving tray 2. When the air duct foam member 13 and the water receiving tray 2 are assembled, the fourth assembly surface 131 of the air duct foam member 13 is in close contact with the fourth sealing strip 34 on the water receiving tray 2.

[0067] In summary, the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present application can position and align the water tray through the cooperation of the positioning and straightening part and the positioning and straightening matching part, effectively avoiding the deformation of the incoming water tray material that does not meet the assembly requirements, so that the water tray can be installed accurately and efficiently. In addition, the periphery of the water tray is pasted with a sealing strip, which can effectively maintain a seal with the casing, the middle partition, the air duct foam part, and the heat exchanger compressor during assembly, which is beneficial to prevent airflow loss and heat loss, and also helps to prevent condensation water, water vapor, etc. from spreading to the outside of the whole machine, and prevent the occurrence of the bubble ceiling phenomenon (i.e. the ceiling is soaked by condensation water).
