In addition, the water can also penetrate into the wall surface, making the wall damp and easily causing the wall surface to crack and fall off, affecting the daily living environment.

[0040] The utility model proposes an air conditioning condensate water recovery device. It aims to solve the problem that the existing air conditioning condensate water will corrode the wall surface. Figures 1 to 7 This is a structural schematic diagram of the air conditioning condensate water recovery device provided by the utility model.

[0041] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 In one embodiment of the utility model, the air-conditioning condensate water recovery device 100 includes a water storage member 1, a drainage component 2 and a cleaning component 3, the water storage member 1 is formed with a water storage chamber 11, the water storage chamber 11 is provided with a water inlet hole for the condensate water of the air-conditioning indoor unit 200 to enter, the drainage component 2 includes a drainage pipe 21 and a first nozzle 22, the drainage pipe 21 connects the first nozzle 22 and the water storage chamber 11, the first nozzle 22 is used to correspond to the mesh cover 310 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300, the cleaning component 3 includes a cleaning brush 31 and a driving member 32, the cleaning brush 31 is set corresponding to the mesh cover 310, and the driving member 32 is used to drive the cleaning brush 31 to clean the mesh cover 310.

[0042] In the technical solution of the utility model, a water storage member 1 is adopted to form the water storage chamber 11, which is connected with the condensation water pipe 210 of the air-conditioning indoor unit 200 to store the condensation water discharged from the air-conditioning indoor unit 200, and the drainage pipe 21 is adopted to transport the condensation water stored in the water storage chamber 11 to the first nozzle 22, and the first nozzle 22 is adopted to spray water on the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300, and at the same time, the driving member 32 is adopted to drive the cleaning brush 31 to move, so that the cleaning brush 31 can clean the mesh cover 310. In this way, by adopting the drainage component 2, the condensation water discharged from the air-conditioning indoor unit 200 can be recovered to prevent the air-conditioning condensation water from eroding the wall surface, and the collected condensation water can be used to clean the mesh cover 310. At the same time, by adopting the cleaning component 3 to cooperate with the drainage component 2 to spray water and wipe the mesh cover 310, it is beneficial to improve the cleaning effect of the air-conditioning condensation water recovery device 100, thereby solving the problem that the existing air-conditioning condensation water will erode the wall surface.

[0043] Further, the cleaning brush 31 has a variety of cleaning methods. For example, the cleaning brush 31 can be rotated along an axis extending in the vertical direction to clean the mesh cover 310, or can be reciprocated along a straight line to clean the mesh cover 310, etc. The utility model does not limit this. Specifically, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cleaning brush 31 is arranged to move horizontally, so that the cleaning brush 31 can slide and clean the mesh cover 310. Further, the cleaning brush 31 can clean the mesh cover 310 by reciprocating along a straight line or unidirectionally along a straight line. For example, the cleaning brush 31 can reciprocate along the front and back direction or unidirectionally move from back to front, etc., and the present invention does not limit this.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2The water storage chamber 11 includes a first sub-chamber 111 and a second sub-chamber 112 arranged along the upper and lower intervals, the first sub-chamber 111 is connected to the second sub-chamber 112, the water inlet hole is arranged in the first sub-chamber 111, the drain pipe 21 is connected to the second sub-chamber 112, and the driving member 32 includes a driving impeller rotatably installed on the second sub-chamber 112 along an axis extending horizontally, and the driving impeller is driven and connected to the cleaning brush 31 through a transmission structure 33. In this way, by adopting the driving impeller, the condensed water can drive the rotation of the driving impeller under the action of gravity, so as to convert the potential energy of the condensed water into the kinetic energy of the driving impeller, so as to drive the cleaning brush 31 to rotate, thereby helping to improve the utilization rate of the condensed water. Of course, in other embodiments, the cleaning brush 31 can also be driven by a linear drive structure or a motor, etc., and the utility model does not limit this.

[0045] For further information, see Figures 2 to 4 If the cleaning brush 31 reciprocates horizontally for cleaning, dust and other impurities may be swept into the air conditioner outdoor unit 300. To this end, in the present embodiment, the transmission structure 33 includes a transmission gear set 331 and a connecting member 332. The transmission gear set 331 includes a first bevel gear 3311 and a second bevel gear 3312 that mesh with each other. The first bevel gear 3311 is driven and connected to the driving impeller. One end of the connecting member 332 is arranged on the periphery of the second bevel gear 3312, and the other end is connected to the cleaning brush 31. In this way, by providing the transmission gear set 331, the horizontal rotation of the driving impeller is converted into a rotation along the axis extending in the vertical direction. At the same time, by providing the connecting member 332, the rotation of the second bevel gear 3312 is converted into a translational motion in the horizontal direction, so as to drive the cleaning brush 31 to move unidirectionally in the horizontal direction, so as to prevent the impurities from being swept into the air conditioner indoor unit 200 due to the reciprocating motion of the cleaning brush 31, thereby helping to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 3.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning component 3 also includes a synchronous belt structure 333, and the synchronous belt structure 333 includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel and a synchronous belt arranged between the driving wheel and the driven wheel. The driving wheel is arranged on the driving impeller, and the second bevel gear 3312 is arranged on the driven wheel. In this way, by setting the synchronous belt structure 333, the torque of the driving impeller can be transmitted to the first bevel gear 3311 so as to drive the first bevel gear 3311 to rotate, and the position of the transmission gear set 331 can be adjusted as needed to install the transmission gear shaft, so that the layout of the transmission structure 33 is more reasonable.

[0047] Furthermore, the diameter of the driving wheel is greater than the diameter of the driven wheel. In this way, the driving wheel and the driven wheel use different diameters to adjust the transmission ratio of the synchronous belt structure 333 so that the rotation speed of the driven wheel is increased, thereby helping to increase the cleaning frequency of the cleaning brush 31.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The cleaning assembly 3 also includes a mounting box 34, and the mounting box 34 is provided with a mounting hole 341, wherein the second bevel gear 3312 is rotatably mounted on the mounting hole 341 along an axis extending in the up-down direction. In this way, by providing the mounting box 34, the mounting hole 341 is provided, and by providing the mounting hole 341, the second bevel gear 3312 is installed, so that the second bevel gear 3312 can drive the cleaning brush 31 to move horizontally.

[0049] For further information, see Figures 5 and 6 The cleaning assembly 3 also includes a positioning structure 35, and the positioning structure 35 includes an annular positioning groove and an annular positioning rib respectively arranged between the mounting hole 341 and the second bevel gear 3312, and the annular positioning groove cooperates with the annular positioning rib to rotatably position the second bevel gear 3312 in the mounting box 34. In this way, by setting the annular positioning groove and the annular positioning rib, the second bevel gear 3312 can be rotatably installed in the mounting box 34, and the second bevel gear 3312 will not be affected. Drive the connecting member 332 to move, so as to drive the cleaning brush 31 to move in a linear manner.

[0050] Theoretically, the condensed water in the first chamber 111 can drive the driving impeller to rotate under the action of gravity, but this requires a large height difference between the condensed water in the first chamber 111 and the driving impeller, which will increase the size of the water storage member 1. For this reason, in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The cleaning assembly 3 also includes a driving pump 36 arranged in the first sub-chamber 111, and the outlet of the driving pump 36 is arranged corresponding to the driving impeller. In this way, by arranging the driving pump 36, the driving impeller can be driven to rotate forcibly without increasing the height difference between the condensed water and the driving impeller, thereby helping to reduce the size of the water storage chamber 11.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, please refer to Figure 7The drain pipe 21 is formed with a first drain port and a second drain port, the first drain port is connected to the first nozzle 22, and the drain assembly 2 also includes a second nozzle 23 connected to the second drain port, and the second nozzle 23 is arranged corresponding to the side of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 away from the mesh cover 310. In this way, by setting the second nozzle 23, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 is cooled down, which is conducive to reducing the operating load of the air conditioner, thereby helping to reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner. Further, there are multiple types of the first nozzle 22 and / or the second nozzle 23. The first nozzle 22 and the second nozzle 23 can be a water spray nozzle or a spray nozzle, etc., and the utility model does not limit this. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first nozzle 22 and / or the second nozzle 23 are atomizing nozzles. In this way, the use of the atomizing nozzle can not only increase the spray range of the first nozzle 22 and the second nozzle 23, but also reduce the impact of the first nozzle 22 or the second nozzle 23 on the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300, so as to avoid impurities from being flushed into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300.

[0052] In some embodiments of the utility model, the drainage component 2 also includes a drainage pump 24 arranged in the drainage pipe 21. Thus, by setting the drainage pump 24 to drive the flow of condensed water in the drainage pipe 21, it is helpful to increase the outlet pressure of the drainage pipe 21, thereby helping to improve the injection effect of the first nozzle 22.

[0053] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
