For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] The water receiving tray assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the water receiving tray assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model includes a water receiving tray 1, a water pump 2 and a cover body 3.

[0045] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 6 and attached Figure 7As shown, the water receiving pan 1 has a water receiving chamber 11, which is used to receive the condensed water dripping from the heat exchanger 300. The water pump 2 is arranged in the water receiving chamber 11, and is used to pump the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to a preset position. The cover 3 is arranged on the upper end of the water pump 2 and connected to the water receiving pan 1. The setting of the cover 3 can protect the water pump 2, prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the water pump 2, reduce the probability of water inflow to the water pump 2, avoid causing leakage problems, ensure the normal operation of the water pump 2, avoid threatening the safety of users, and thus extend the service life of the water receiving pan assembly 100 and reduce the maintenance frequency of the water receiving pan assembly 100. In addition, by connecting the cover 3 to the water receiving pan 1, the cover 3 can be fixed to ensure the protective effect of the cover 3 on the water pump 2.

[0046] It is understandable that the water receiving pan assembly 100 is used for an air conditioner, and the air conditioner can be an integrated air conditioner or a split air conditioner, for example, the air conditioner can be a wall-mounted air conditioner, a floor-standing air conditioner or a window air conditioner. The air conditioner has a heat exchanger 300, and condensed water will be generated on the surface of the heat exchanger 300 when it is used as an evaporator. The water receiving pan 1 is provided to receive the condensed water on the heat exchanger 300 to prevent the condensed water from flowing around and corroding the ground or the parts around the heat exchanger 300, wherein the condensed water on the heat exchanger 300 can flow into the water receiving chamber 11, and the water pump 2 can pump the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to a preset position, that is, the water pump 2 can pump the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to the outside of the water receiving chamber 11 to discharge the water in the water receiving chamber 11.

[0047] It should be noted that the "preset position" can be any position outside the water receiving chamber 11. For example, the preset position can be an indoor heat exchanger, an indoor water receiving pan or an outdoor position, etc., as long as the water pump 2 can pump the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to the outside of the water receiving pan 1. The specific preset position can be limited according to actual production requirements and heat exchange requirements, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0048] According to the water receiving tray assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the water receiving tray 1 has a water receiving cavity 11, the water pump 2 is arranged in the water receiving cavity 11, the cover body 3 is arranged on the upper end of the water pump 2 and is connected to the water receiving tray 1, the cover body 3 can protect the water pump 2, prevent condensed water from dripping onto the water pump 2, reduce the probability of water entering the water pump 2, avoid causing leakage problems, ensure the normal operation of the water pump 2, avoid threatening the safety of users, thereby extending the service life of the water receiving tray assembly 100 and reducing the maintenance frequency of the water receiving tray assembly 100.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 7As shown, in the direction from one end to the other end of the opposite ends of the cover body 3, the upper surface of the cover body 3 is inclined downward. It can be understood that when the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger 300 drips onto the cover body 3, the condensed water can flow directly into the water receiving chamber 11 along the upper surface of the cover body 3, thereby avoiding the residual condensed water on the upper surface of the cover body 3 for a long time, ensuring the protective effect of the cover body 3 on the water pump 2, avoiding the residual condensed water from leaking onto the water pump 2, and to a certain extent avoiding affecting the water pump 2 in pumping the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to the preset position.

[0050] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 5 and attached Figure 7 As shown, the length direction of the water receiving chamber 11 (refer to the attached Figure 5 The two ends of the cover 3 are respectively a first end 111 and a second end 112, the water pump 2 is located at the first end 111, and in the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112, the upper surface of the cover 3 is inclined downward, so that the condensed water dripping onto the upper surface of the cover 3 can flow directly toward the second end 112 along the inclined direction of the cover 3, thereby avoiding that part of the condensed water remains between the water pump 2 and the inner wall of the water receiving chamber 11, avoiding affecting the water pump 2 from pumping the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to the preset position, thereby improving the effect of the water pump 2.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the water receiving tray assembly 100 also includes a water level switch 4, which is arranged in the water receiving cavity 11. The water level switch 4 is arranged near the water pump 2. The arrangement of the water level switch 4 can monitor the water level in the water receiving cavity 11 in real time, so as to facilitate better drainage of the water pump 2. Specifically, the water level switch 4 includes a float and a controller. The float is used to detect the water level around the water pump 2 and feed back the detected water level signal to the controller. The controller can adjust the working state of the water pump 2 according to the water level, etc., to prevent the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving tray 1 from being too high and overflowing.

[0052] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, a slot 31 is provided on the side wall of the cover body 3 facing the water level switch 4, and a lug 41 cooperating with the slot 31 is provided on the side of the water level switch 4 facing the water pump 2. Through the cooperation between the slot 31 and the lug 41, it can be ensured that the water level switch 4 remains horizontal and prevents the water level switch 4 from tilting, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the water level action.

[0053] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, the side wall of the cover body 3 facing the water level switch 4 is provided with a vertical direction (such as Figure 4The water level switch 4 has two limiting protrusions 32 spaced apart from each other, and a slot 31 is defined between the two limiting protrusions 32. The two limiting protrusions 32 can limit the lug 41 from the upper and lower sides of the lug 41 respectively, thereby improving the limiting effect of the slot 31 on the lug 41, further preventing the water level switch 4 from tilting, and ensuring the reliability and stability of the water level switch 4.

[0054] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, in the bottom-up direction (such as Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the two limiting protrusions 32 are respectively a first limiting protrusion 321 and a second limiting protrusion 322. The first limiting protrusion 321 extends in the horizontal direction. The lug 41 is located on the upper side of the first limiting protrusion 321 and overlaps with the first limiting protrusion 321. The first limiting protrusion 321 can limit the lug 41 from the lower side of the lug 41. In the top-down direction (as shown in FIG. 1 ), the two limiting protrusions 32 are respectively a first limiting protrusion 321 and a second limiting protrusion 322. The first limiting protrusion 321 extends in the horizontal direction. The lug 41 is located on the upper side of the first limiting protrusion 321 and overlaps with the first limiting protrusion 321. The first limiting protrusion 321 can limit the lug 41 from the lower side of the Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the second limit protrusion 322 is inclined toward the direction close to the water level switch 4, and the second limit protrusion 322 and the first limit protrusion 321 jointly define the slot 31. The second limit protrusion 322 can limit the lug 41 from the upper side of the lug 41, and can guide the assembly of the water level switch 4, thereby improving the accuracy of the fit between the lug 41 and the slot 31.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the water pump 2 has a first outlet, and the lower edge of the cover body 3 has a second outlet 33. After extending from the first outlet, the water pump line passes through the second outlet 33. The lower end of the second outlet 33 is open, and the highest height of the second outlet 33 is lower than the highest height of the first outlet, so that the water pump line can be generally downward in the extension direction from the first outlet to the second outlet 33.

[0056] It is understandable that the water pump line will pass through the first outlet and the second outlet 33 in sequence and extend out of the cover body 3. The cover body 3 cannot provide waterproof protection for the part of the water pump line outside the cover body 3. When condensed water drops onto the part of the water pump line outside the cover body 3, by limiting the maximum height of the second outlet 33 to be lower than the maximum height of the first outlet, when the condensed water flows along the water pump line to the second outlet 33, the condensed water can be prevented from continuing to flow along the water pump line to the first outlet, thereby preventing the condensed water from flowing into the cover body 3 along the water pump line and causing damage to the water pump 2, thereby preventing the service life of the water pump 2 from being affected.

[0057] It should be noted that the lower end of the second outlet 33 is open, which can facilitate the condensed water to drip into the water receiving chamber 11 when the condensed water flows to the second outlet 33 and cannot continue to flow toward the first outlet. In addition, the open lower end of the second outlet 33 can also facilitate the assembly of the water pump 2 and the cover body 3, and facilitate the water pump line to be passed through the cover body 3.

[0058] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 4 As shown, a wire buckle 34 is provided on the outer wall of the cover body 3, and the wire buckle 34 is located at the upper end of the cover body 3, and the wire buckle 34 is located on the side of the cover body 3 away from the water level switch 4. The wire buckle 34 is used to clamp the water pump line extending from the second outlet 33, and can play a positioning role for the water pump line to form a "water return bend", so that the water pump line is higher than the second outlet 33 at the first outlet and the wire buckle 34, ensuring that the second outlet 33 is the lowest point of the water pump line, ensuring that condensed water dripping on the water pump line will fall into the water receiving chamber 11 from the second outlet 33, avoiding condensed water from the water pump line into the water pump 2 to damage the water pump 2 and affect the service life of the water pump 2.

[0059] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 As shown, the cover body 3 is provided with a first mounting ear 35, the water pump 2 is provided with a second mounting ear 21, and the water receiving tray 1 is provided with a third mounting ear 12. The second mounting ear 21 is located between the first mounting ear 35 and the third mounting ear 12, and the first mounting ear 35, the second mounting ear 21 and the third mounting ear 12 are stacked.

[0060] Further, see Attachment Figure 2 As shown, the first mounting ear 35 has a first positioning column 351, and the second mounting ear 21 and the third mounting ear 12 have a first positioning hole that cooperates with the first positioning column 351. The first positioning column 351 passes through the first positioning holes on the second mounting ear 21 and the third mounting ear 12 in sequence, and can simultaneously limit the second mounting ear 21 and the third mounting ear 12, preventing the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1 from shifting in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the connection among the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1.

[0061] Further, see Appendix Figure 2As shown, the third mounting ear 12 has a second positioning column 121, and the second mounting ear 21 and the first mounting ear 35 have a second positioning hole 352 that cooperates with the second positioning column 121. The second positioning column 121 passes through the second mounting ear 21 and the second positioning hole 352 on the first mounting ear 35 in sequence, and can simultaneously limit the second mounting ear 21 and the first mounting ear 35, preventing the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1 from shifting in the horizontal direction, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the connection among the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1.

[0062] It should be noted that by arranging the first positioning column 351 on the first mounting ear 35 and the second positioning column 121 on the third mounting ear 12, the reliability and stability of the connection between the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1 can be improved, and the cover body 3 can be further prevented from falling off from above the water pump 2.

[0063] In a further embodiment of the present invention, refer to the attached Figure 2 As shown, there are a plurality of first mounting ears 35 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the cover body 3, a plurality of second mounting ears 21 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the water pump 2, and a plurality of third mounting ears 12 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the water receiving tray 1. The plurality of first mounting ears 35 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of second mounting ears 21, and the plurality of second mounting ears 21 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of third mounting ears 12, so that the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1 can be fixed from a plurality of spaced apart locations to ensure the reliability of the connection between the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1.

[0064] In a specific example, see the attached Figure 2 As shown, there are two first mounting ears 35 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the cover body 3, there are two second mounting ears 21 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the water pump 2, there are two third mounting ears 12 spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the water receiving tray 1, the two first mounting ears 35 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two second mounting ears 21, and the two second mounting ears 21 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two third mounting ears 12, so that the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1 can be fixed from two spaced-apart locations to ensure the reliability of the connection between the cover body 3, the water pump 2 and the water receiving tray 1.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cover body 3 is a PP (polypropylene) part, which has chemical resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation, high-strength mechanical properties and good high wear-resistant processing performance, which can ensure the reliability and stability of the cover body 3, extend the service life of the cover body 3, and reduce the maintenance cost of the water receiving tray assembly 100. Preferably, the cover body 3 is a weather-resistant PP part, which has excellent weather resistance and stronger light and oxygen aging resistance, which can further improve the stability and reliability of the cover body 3, extend the service life of the cover body 3, and reduce the maintenance cost of the water receiving tray assembly 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the utility model, one or more filters are provided on the bottom wall of the water receiving tray 1, and the filters can filter the condensed water to reduce impurities in the condensed water, which is beneficial to improve the water quality of the condensed water when it is recycled and reused, and the condensed water filtered by the filters flows to the water pump 2. It should be noted that the position of the filter can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0067] Reference below Figures 1 to 7 A water tray assembly 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described. It is worth noting that the following description is merely exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0068] Specifically, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the water receiving pan assembly 100 includes: a water receiving pan 1, a water pump 2, a cover 3 and a water level switch 4. The water receiving pan 1 has a water receiving chamber 11, which is used to receive the condensed water dripping from the heat exchanger 300. The water pump 2 is arranged in the water receiving chamber 11, and is used to pump the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to a preset position. The cover 3 is arranged on the upper end of the water pump 2 and connected to the water receiving pan 1. The cover 3 is a weather-resistant PP part. The setting of the cover 3 can protect the water pump 2, prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the water pump 2, reduce the probability of water inflow to the water pump 2, avoid causing leakage problems, ensure the normal operation of the water pump 2, avoid threatening the safety of users, thereby extending the service life of the water receiving pan assembly 100 and reducing the maintenance frequency of the water receiving pan assembly 100. In addition, by connecting the cover 3 to the water receiving pan 1, the cover 3 can be fixed to ensure the protective effect of the cover 3 on the water pump 2.

[0069] Furthermore, the two ends of the water receiving chamber 11 in the length direction are respectively a first end 111 and a second end 112, the water pump 2 is located at the first end 111, and in the direction from the first end 111 to the second end 112, the upper surface of the cover body 3 is inclined downward, so that the condensed water dripping onto the upper surface of the cover body 3 can flow directly toward the second end 112 along the inclined direction of the cover body 3, thereby avoiding that part of the condensed water remains between the water pump 2 and the inner wall of the water receiving chamber 11, avoiding affecting the water pump 2 from pumping the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 11 to the preset position, thereby improving the effect of the water pump 2.

[0070] Furthermore, the water tray assembly 100 also includes a water level switch 4, which is arranged in the water receiving cavity 11 and adjacent to the water pump 2. The arrangement of the water level switch 4 can monitor the water level in the water receiving cavity 11 in real time, so as to facilitate better drainage of the water pump 2. Two limiting protrusions 32 spaced apart in the up-down direction are arranged on the side wall of the cover body 3 facing the water level switch 4, and a card slot 31 is defined between the two limiting protrusions 32. A lug 41 cooperating with the card slot 31 is arranged on the side of the water level switch 4 facing the water pump 2. The two limiting protrusions 32 can limit the lug 41 from the upper side and the lower side of the lug 41, respectively, so as to improve the limiting effect of the card slot 31 on the lug 41, further prevent the water level switch 4 from tilting, and ensure the reliability and stability of the water level switch 4.

[0071] Furthermore, the water pump 2 is provided with a first line outlet, and the lower edge of the cover body 3 is provided with a second line outlet 33. After extending out of the first line outlet, the water pump line passes through the second line outlet 33.
