Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of condensed water treatment, in particular to a condensed water treatment device and an air conditioner formed by the same. Background Art
[0002] Condensed water generated during the operation of the air conditioner is usually transferred to the top of the indoor evaporator, where it flows from top to bottom through the fins and slides down, using the heat exchange evaporation principle to consume the condensed water and humidify the room. However, the heat exchange evaporation process is greatly affected by the ambient temperature, condensed water temperature, evaporator temperature, etc., resulting in a low actual heat exchange evaporation amount, which can only consume a small amount of condensed water. In order to avoid condensed water leakage, a special condensed water storage device can be set up to collect the condensed water that has not been evaporated and consumed into the storage device. The condensed water collected in the storage device will eventually need to be poured out by the user or drained by an external water pipe.
[0003] Patent CN100458297C discloses a condensed water consumption device, which discloses connecting an ultrasonic oscillation atomizer to a water receiving tray. Since the ultrasonic oscillation atomizer is connected to the water receiving tray, the condensed water that has not been evaporated flows from the fins of the condenser into the water receiving tray. When the condensed water in the water receiving tray reaches a certain water level, the ultrasonic oscillation atomizer automatically starts to atomize and discharge the condensed water.
[0004] In this technical solution, the condensed water is first sprayed onto the fins of the condenser, and the heat discharged by the condenser causes the condensed water to evaporate; the condensed water that has not evaporated flows from the condenser fins to the water receiving tray, and then the ultrasonic oscillation atomizer is used to atomize the condensed water left on the fins. The condensed water left on the fins is essentially flushing the fins. The flushed condensed water contains impurities on the surface of the fins, which can easily cause the ultrasonic oscillation atomizer to be blocked, which is not conducive to improving the efficiency of ultrasonic atomization. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related technology, one of the purposes of the utility model is to provide a condensate water treatment device, which classifies the condensate water in the second water storage tank, transmits part of it to the heat exchange component for heat exchange, and directly consumes the other part by ultrasonic atomization, thereby avoiding condensate water leakage and improving the condensate water treatment efficiency.
[0006] A condensate water treatment device comprises a first water tank and a second water tank, wherein the first water tank is provided with a condensate water inlet; a filter is provided at the connection point between the first water tank and the second water tank; the second water tank is provided with a first outlet connected to a heat exchange component; an ultrasonic atomizer is provided in the second water tank, and the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer is located outside the condensate water treatment device.
[0007] The condensed water in the second water storage tank can enter the evaporator and other heat exchange components through the first outlet to cool the evaporator, or it can be atomized by an ultrasonic atomizer and then discharged from the condensed water treatment device; the present application can ultrasonically atomize and discharge excess condensed water outside the heat exchange components to avoid condensed water leakage caused by excessive condensed water; at the same time, the present application treats excess condensed water before the condensed water participates in heat exchange. At this time, the condensed water is filtered through a filter net and contains fewer impurities, which avoids clogging of the ultrasonic atomizer and improves the condensed water treatment efficiency.
[0008] In a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the ultrasonic atomizer is communicatively connected to a water level sensor, and the water level sensor is located in the second water storage tank and is used to detect the condensed water level of the second water storage tank.
[0009] When the water level sensor senses that the water level in the second water tank reaches a preset value, the ultrasonic atomizer operates to ultrasonically atomize the excess condensed water. The preset value may be a pre-set value, which may be set based on factors such as the amount of water required for normal operation of the ultrasonic atomizer to ensure that the ultrasonic atomizer can operate normally.
[0010] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the ultrasonic atomizer is located at the bottom of the second water storage tank, the ultrasonic atomizer is connected to an atomization duct, and the atomization duct extends to the outside of the condensate water treatment device; a boss is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the atomization duct, a water level sensor is provided on the boss, the ultrasonic atomizer is communicatively connected to the water level sensor, and the distance between the water level sensor and the bottom of the second water storage tank is 10-15mm.
[0011] The present application sets a water level sensor with a certain height. At the same time, the first outlet is located at the bottom of the second water tank. That is, as long as there is condensed water in the second water tank, it can enter the heat exchange component through the first outlet to participate in heat exchange. The condensed water in the second water tank needs to be gathered to a certain height before the ultrasonic atomizer starts to consume the condensed water, ensuring that the condensed water in the second water tank is first supplied to the first water outlet to participate in heat exchange and then consumed by ultrasonic atomization.
[0012] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a sterilization component is arranged at the bottom of the second water storage tank; the sterilization component includes a sterilization chamber, and a sterilizing agent is arranged inside the sterilization chamber, and a sterilization through hole is arranged on the side wall of the sterilization chamber, and condensed water can enter the interior of the sterilization chamber through the sterilization through hole.
[0013] The sterilization component is used to sterilize the condensed water entering the second water tank. When the condensed water in the first water tank enters the second water tank, it will pass through the filter. Large particles and visible dirt can be filtered out by the filter, but tiny or microbial bacteria still remain in the condensed water and need to be sterilized by the sterilization component. The sterilizer can be a sterilizer containing a strong oxidant. After the sterilizer contacts the condensed water, it will release a strong oxidant to sterilize the condensed water. The size of the sterilization through hole enables the condensed water to enter the interior of the sterilization chamber. However, the sterilizer is prepared into sesame-sized particles, and the size of the sterilization through hole is smaller than the size of the granular sterilizer to prevent the sterilizer from leaking out of the sterilization chamber.
[0014] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the side of the sterilization component is fixed to the bottom of the second water tank by a buckle.
[0015] Since the sterilizing agent in the sterilizing component of the present application decomposes when exposed to water, the sterilizing agent will be reduced after a period of sterilization treatment. At this time, the buckle can be opened to replace the sterilizing component or replenish the sterilizing agent in the sterilization chamber. The buckles can be distributed on both sides of the sterilizing component for quick replacement and fixation of the sterilizing component.
[0016] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a third water storage tank is further included, and the second water storage tank is connected to the third water storage tank through a second outlet.
[0017] When the ultrasonic atomizer is not able to ultrasonically atomize the excess condensed water in the second water storage tank, the condensed water in the second water storage tank will enter the third water storage tank for storage, thereby preventing the leakage of condensed water caused by the excess condensed water in the second water storage tank.
[0018] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the second outlet and the first outlet are located in different horizontal planes, and the distance between the second outlet and the bottom of the second water tank is greater than the distance between the first outlet and the bottom of the second water tank.
[0019] In this application, the condensed water in the second water tank needs to be supplied to the heat exchange component through the first outlet to participate in heat exchange, and then consumed by the ultrasonic atomizer, or discharged to the third water tank. The priority of ultrasonic atomization consumption and discharge to the third water tank can be replaced. A drain port can be set at the bottom of the third water tank, and the condensed water is discharged to the outside of the condensed water treatment device through the drain port. Whether it is consumed by the ultrasonic atomizer or discharged from the third water tank, it is to consume the condensed water in the second water tank except for participating in heat exchange.
[0020] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the ultrasonic atomizer is communicatively connected to a water level sensor, and the water level sensor is located in the second water tank; the distance between the second outlet and the bottom of the second water tank is greater than the distance between the water level sensor and the bottom of the second water tank.
[0021] The processing priority of the condensed water in the second water tank of the present application is divided into three levels: the first level is to flow out through the first outlet to the heat exchange component for heat exchange. The first outlet is set at the bottom of the second water tank. As long as there is condensed water in the second water tank, it can be discharged to the heat exchange component through the first outlet. The second level is that the ultrasonic atomizer consumes condensed water. The water level sensor connected to the ultrasonic atomizer is fixed at a height of 10-15mm from the bottom of the second water tank. Only when the condensed water in the second water tank is collected to the height of the water level sensor, the ultrasonic atomizer will start to work and consume the condensed water. The third level is to discharge to the third water tank through the second outlet. A drain port is set at the bottom of the third water tank, and the condensed water can be discharged to the outside of the condensed water treatment device; and the height of the second outlet in the second water tank is greater than the height of the water level sensor, so that it will be ensured that when the ultrasonic atomizer consumes the condensed water in time and the condensed water continues to accumulate to the height of the second outlet, the condensed water in the second water tank will be discharged to the third water tank through the second outlet.
[0022] In a preferred technical solution of the utility model, an outer cover is provided on the outside of the first water tank and the second water tank; an atomization through hole is provided in the outer cover, the ultrasonic atomizer is connected to the atomization through hole through an atomization conduit, a dustproof plate is provided in the outer cover, the dustproof plate is connected to a driving component, and the driving component can drive the outer cover to cover or move away from the atomization through hole.
[0023] In the present application, the state of the dustproof plate is associated with the operating state of the ultrasonic atomizer. When the ultrasonic atomizer is started, the dustproof plate is opened to allow steam to be discharged. When the ultrasonic atomizer is turned off, the dustproof plate is closed to make the outer cover relatively sealed to prevent impurities or small animals from entering the second water storage tank and to prevent the atomization conduit from being dirty and blocked.
[0024] A second object of the present utility model is to provide an air conditioner, comprising the condensate treatment device as described above.
[0025] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0026] The utility model provides a condensate water treatment device, comprising a first water storage tank and a second water storage tank; the first water storage tank is provided with a condensate water inlet, and a filter is provided at the connection between the first water storage tank and the second water storage tank; the second water storage tank is provided with a first outlet connected to a heat exchange component; an ultrasonic atomizer is designed inside the second water storage tank, and the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer is located outside the condensate water treatment device. The condensed water generated during the operation of the air conditioner and other heat exchange devices enters the first water tank through the condensed water inlet, and is filtered by the filter. The condensed water in the first water tank enters the second water tank; the condensed water in the second water tank can enter the evaporator and other heat exchange components through the first outlet to cool the evaporator, or it can be atomized by an ultrasonic atomizer and then discharged from the condensed water treatment device; the present application can ultrasonically atomize and discharge excess condensed water outside the heat exchange components to avoid condensed water leakage caused by excessive condensed water; at the same time, the present application treats excess condensed water before the condensed water participates in heat exchange. At this time, the condensed water is filtered through the filter and contains fewer impurities, which avoids clogging of the ultrasonic atomizer and improves the condensed water treatment efficiency.
[0027] The present application also provides an air conditioner, including the condensate treatment device as described above, which can consume excess condensate through ultrasonic atomization to avoid leakage due to excessive condensate. At the same time, the ultrasonic atomizer is arranged in a water storage tank to ensure that the condensate entering the ultrasonic atomizer is filtered, thereby improving the efficiency of ultrasonic atomization.

[0041] Example 1
[0042] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a condensate water treatment device provided in the present application includes a first water storage tank 11 and a second water storage tank 21, wherein the first water storage tank 11 is provided with a condensate water inlet; a filter screen 12 is provided at the connection point between the first water storage tank 11 and the second water storage tank 21; the second water storage tank 21 is provided with a first outlet 22 connected to a heat exchange component; an ultrasonic atomizer 28 is provided in the second water storage tank 21, and the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located outside the condensate water treatment device.
[0043] The condensed water generated during the operation of the heat exchange device such as the air conditioner enters the first water tank 11 through the condensed water inlet, and is filtered by the filter 12, and the condensed water in the first water tank 11 enters the second water tank 21; the condensed water in the second water tank 21 can enter the evaporator and other heat exchange components through the first outlet 22 to cool the evaporator, or it can be atomized by the ultrasonic atomizer 28 and then discharged from the condensed water treatment device; the present application can ultrasonically atomize and discharge the excess condensed water outside the heat exchange components to avoid condensed water leakage caused by excessive condensed water; at the same time, the present application treats the excess condensed water before the condensed water participates in the heat exchange. At this time, the condensed water is filtered by the filter 12 and contains fewer impurities, which avoids clogging of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 and improves the treatment efficiency of the condensed water.
[0044] In the present application, the condensate treatment device can be arranged in a heat exchange device such as an air conditioner, and the condensate generated by the air conditioner during the heating process enters the first water storage tank 11 through a pipe or the like through a condensate inlet. Among them, the pipe used to transmit the condensate can refer to the prior art, and the position of the condensate treatment device in the air conditioner or the heat exchange device can refer to the prior art.
[0045] In the present application, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 utilizes electronic high-frequency oscillation (the oscillation frequency is 1.7MHz or 2.4MHz, which exceeds the human hearing range and is absolutely harmless to humans and animals) to break up the liquid water molecule structure through the high-frequency resonance of the ceramic atomizer to produce a natural and elegant water mist without heating or adding any chemical reagents. Compared with the heating atomization method, energy is saved by 90%. In addition, a large amount of negative ions will be released during the atomization process, which will produce an electrostatic reaction with the smoke, dust, etc. floating in the air to precipitate them. At the same time, it can also effectively remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, bacteria, etc., so that the air is purified.
[0046] In the present application, the condensed water in the first water tank 11 is filtered through the filter 12 and then enters the second water tank 21. The condensed water inside the second water tank 21 needs to be preferentially heat exchanged with the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22. For example, the heat exchange component can be an evaporator in an air conditioner. The condensed water is transmitted to the top of the evaporator indoors through the first outlet 22. The condensed water flows from top to bottom through the fins and slides down. The heat exchange evaporation principle is used to consume the condensed water and humidify the room. The condensed water involved in the heat exchange will flow directly from the first outlet 22 to the evaporator position, and the remaining condensed water will be stored in the second water tank 21.
[0047] In the present application, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 needs to perform ultrasonic atomization to consume the condensed water when the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 reaches a certain amount. This is because if the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is operated in a water shortage condition, it will be damaged or its life will be shortened. In order to ensure the normal operation of the ultrasonic atomizer 28, the present application can wait until the condensed water is collected to a certain extent in the second water storage tank 21 before starting the ultrasonic atomizer 28 for ultrasonic atomization. In the present application, the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 extends to the outside of the condensed water treatment device, and the atomized water vapor can be directly discharged from the condensed water treatment device for humidification of indoor air, etc.
[0048] In order to realize that the condensed water in the second water tank 21 in the present application is preferentially supplied to the first outlet 22, and the remaining condensed water is then considered for ultrasonic atomization, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 in the present application is communicatively connected with the water level sensor 27, and the water level sensor 27 is located in the second water tank 21, and is used to detect the condensed water level of the second water tank 21.
[0049] Specifically, when the water level sensor 27 senses that the water level in the second water storage tank 21 reaches a preset value, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 operates to ultrasonically atomize the excess condensed water. The preset value may be a pre-set value, which may be set according to factors such as the amount of water required for normal operation of the ultrasonic atomizer 28, to ensure that the ultrasonic atomizer 28 can operate normally.
[0050] In the present application, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 discharges the steam out of the condensate treatment device through the atomization duct 29, wherein the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is fixed at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 and is connected to the condensate in the second water storage tank 21, that is, when the condensate enters the second water storage tank 21, the condensate is immersed in the ultrasonic atomizer 28, and under the ultrasonic action of the ultrasonic atomizer 28, the condensate is ultrasonically atomized into steam, and the steam is transmitted to the outside of the condensate treatment device through the atomization duct 29.
[0051] Example 2
[0052] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a condensate water treatment device provided in the present application includes a first water storage tank 11 and a second water storage tank 21, wherein the first water storage tank 11 is provided with a condensate water inlet; a filter screen 12 is provided at the connection point between the first water storage tank 11 and the second water storage tank 21; the second water storage tank 21 is provided with a first outlet 22 connected to a heat exchange component; an ultrasonic atomizer 28 is provided in the second water storage tank 21, and the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located outside the condensate water treatment device.
[0053] Furthermore, in the present application, a sterilization component 24 is provided at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 .
[0054] The sterilization component 24 is used to sterilize the condensed water entering the second water tank 21. When the condensed water in the first water tank 11 enters the second water tank 21, it will pass through the filter 12. Large particles and dirt visible to the naked eye can be filtered out by the filter 12, but tiny or microbial bacteria still remain in the condensed water and need to be disinfected by the sterilization component 24.
[0055] Specifically, in the present application, the sterilization component 24 includes a sterilization chamber, and a sterilizing agent is arranged inside the sterilization chamber. The side wall of the sterilization chamber is provided with a sterilization through hole, and condensed water can enter the sterilization chamber through the sterilization through hole.
[0056] In the present application, the sterilizing agent may be a sterilizing agent containing a strong oxidant. After the sterilizing agent contacts the condensed water, the strong oxidant is released to sterilize the condensed water. The size of the sterilization through hole allows the condensed water to enter the sterilization chamber. However, the sterilizing agent is prepared into sesame-sized particles, and the size of the sterilization through hole is smaller than the size of the granular sterilizing agent, so as to prevent the sterilizing agent from leaking out of the sterilization chamber.
[0057] Specifically, a plurality of grooves may be provided on the top of the sterilization chamber, and a plurality of sterilization through holes may be provided in each groove. The condensed water entering the second water storage tank 21 will be soaked in the upper surface of the sterilization component 24, that is, the condensed water enters the groove above the sterilization component 24, and a plurality of sterilization through holes are provided in the groove. The condensed water then enters the sterilization chamber through the sterilization through holes.
[0058] The groove located at the top of the sterilization chamber may also be a through hole 241 that passes through the sterilization chamber. Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of through circular holes 241 evenly divide the sterilization chamber into a plurality of small chambers, each of which is filled with a spherical sterilizing agent, and a plurality of sterilizing through holes are arranged on the side wall of the through hole. Condensed water enters the sterilization chamber through the through circular holes 241 and the sterilizing through holes and comes into contact with the sterilizing agent.
[0059] Whether it is the through circular hole 241 or the groove, it can be connected to the second water storage tank 21 through the sterilization through hole. The condensed water is in a flowing state inside the second water storage tank 21. Through the flow of the condensed water, all the condensed water inside the second water storage tank 21 can be sterilized.
[0060] In the present application, the side of the sterilization component 24 is fixed to the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 by a buckle 25.
[0061] Since the sterilizing agent in the sterilizing component 24 of the present application decomposes when it encounters water, the sterilizing agent will be reduced after a period of sterilization treatment. At this time, the buckle 25 can be opened to replace the sterilizing component 24, or the sterilizing agent can be added to the sterilization chamber. The buckle 25 can be distributed on both sides of the sterilizing component 24 to quickly replace and fix the sterilizing component 24.
[0062] In the present application, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is connected to the outside through an atomization duct 29, wherein the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is fixed at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 and is connected to the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21, that is, when the condensed water enters the second water storage tank 21, the condensed water soaks the ultrasonic atomizer 28, and under the ultrasonic action of the ultrasonic atomizer 28, the condensed water is ultrasonically atomized into steam, and the steam is transmitted to the outside of the condensed water treatment device through the atomization duct 29.
[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21, and the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is connected to the atomization conduit 29, and the atomization conduit 29 extends to the outside of the condensate treatment device; a boss 26 is provided at the outer bottom of the atomization conduit 29, and a water level sensor 27 is provided on the boss 26. The ultrasonic atomizer 28 is communicatively connected with the water level sensor 27, and the distance between the water level sensor 27 and the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 is 10-15mm.
[0064] The ultrasonic atomizer 28 can be fixed on the outside of the bottom of the second water tank 21, so that the action surface of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located at the bottom of the second water tank 21. The boss 26 can be arranged outside the atomizing conduit 29, or outside the ultrasonic atomizer 28, and the water level sensor 27 is arranged on the boss 26. When the height of the condensed water in the second water tank 21 reaches the water level sensor 27 at the top of the boss 26, that is, after the water level sensor 27 senses the condensed water, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 starts to operate, so that the condensed water is ultrasonically atomized to form steam, and is discharged through the atomizing conduit 29. By setting the water level sensor 27 at a height of 10-15mm from the bottom of the second water tank 21, it can be ensured that when the water level inside the second water tank 21 reaches this height, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 will start to operate again, so as to avoid the ultrasonic atomizer 28 being damaged or the life of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 being shortened due to insufficient water.
[0065] The present application sets a water level sensor 27 with a certain height. At the same time, the first outlet 22 is located at the bottom of the second water tank 21, that is, as long as there is condensed water in the second water tank 21, it can enter the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22 to participate in heat exchange. The condensed water in the second water tank 21 needs to be gathered to a certain height before the ultrasonic atomizer 28 starts to consume the condensed water, ensuring that the condensed water in the second water tank 21 is first supplied to the first water outlet to participate in heat exchange, and then consumed by ultrasonic atomization.
[0066] In the present application, the condensed water in the first water tank 11 is filtered through the filter 12 and then enters the second water tank 21. The condensed water inside the second water tank 21 needs to be preferentially heat exchanged with the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22. For example, the heat exchange component can be an evaporator in an air conditioner. The condensed water is transmitted to the top of the evaporator indoors through the first outlet 22. The condensed water flows from top to bottom through the fins and slides down. The heat exchange evaporation principle is used to consume the condensed water and humidify the room. The condensed water involved in the heat exchange will flow directly from the first outlet 22 to the evaporator position, and the remaining condensed water will be stored in the second water tank 21.
[0067] When the height of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 reaches the water level sensor 27 on the top of the boss 26, after the water level sensor 27 senses the condensed water, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 starts to operate, so that the condensed water is ultrasonically atomized to form steam and discharged through the atomization duct 29. The position setting of the boss 26 and the water level sensor 27 can ensure that after the condensed water is collected to a certain extent in the second water storage tank 21, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is started for ultrasonic atomization. In the present application, the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 extends to the outside of the condensed water treatment device, and the atomized water vapor can be directly discharged from the condensed water treatment device for humidification of indoor air, etc.
[0068] Example 3
[0069] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a condensate water treatment device provided in the present application includes a first water storage tank 11 and a second water storage tank 21, wherein the first water storage tank 11 is provided with a condensate water inlet; a filter screen 12 is provided at the connection point between the first water storage tank 11 and the second water storage tank 21; the second water storage tank 21 is provided with a first outlet 22 connected to a heat exchange component; an ultrasonic atomizer 28 is provided in the second water storage tank 21, and the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located outside the condensate water treatment device.
[0070] In the present application, the condensed water in the first water tank 11 is filtered through the filter 12 and then enters the second water tank 21. The condensed water inside the second water tank 21 needs to be preferentially heat exchanged with the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22, and the remaining condensed water is stored in the second water tank 21. When the height of the condensed water in the second water tank 21 reaches a preset value, the water level sensor 27 senses the condensed water, and the ultrasonic atomizer 28 starts to operate, so that the condensed water is ultrasonically atomized to form steam, which is discharged through the atomization conduit 29.
[0071] Since it takes a certain amount of time for the ultrasonic atomizer 28 to atomize the condensed water, if the condensed water entering the second chamber continues to increase and exceeds a certain height, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 will not have enough time to atomize, and the condensed water will still leak.
[0072] Furthermore, it also includes a third water storage tank 31 , and the second water storage tank 21 is connected to the third water storage tank 31 through the second outlet 23 .
[0073] When the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is too late to ultrasonically atomize the excess condensed water in the second water storage tank 21, the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 will enter the third water storage tank 31 for storage. This can prevent the condensed water from leaking due to excessive condensed water in the second water storage tank 21.
[0074] Furthermore, the second outlet 23 and the first outlet 22 are located in different horizontal planes, and the distance between the second outlet 23 and the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 is greater than the distance between the first outlet 22 and the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 .
[0075] In the present application, the condensed water in the second water tank 21 needs to be supplied to the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22 to participate in heat exchange, and then consumed by the ultrasonic atomizer 28, or discharged to the third water tank 31. The priority of ultrasonic atomization consumption and discharge to the third water tank 31 can be replaced. A drain port can be set at the bottom of the third water tank 31, and the condensed water is discharged to the outside of the condensed water treatment device through the drain port. Whether it is consumed by the ultrasonic atomizer 28 or discharged by the third water tank 31, it is to consume the condensed water in the second water tank 21 except for participating in heat exchange.
[0076] Furthermore, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21, and the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is connected to the atomizing conduit 29, and the atomizing conduit 29 extends to the outside of the condensed water treatment device; a boss 26 is provided at the outer bottom of the atomizing conduit 29, and a water level sensor 27 is provided on the boss 26. The ultrasonic atomizer 28 is communicatively connected with the water level sensor 27, and the distance between the water level sensor 27 and the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 is 10-15mm. When the height of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 reaches the water level sensor 27 at the top of the boss 26, that is, after the water level sensor 27 senses the condensed water, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 starts to operate, so that the condensed water is ultrasonically atomized to form steam, and is discharged through the atomizing conduit 29. By setting the water level sensor 27 at a height of 10-15 mm from the bottom of the second water tank 21, it can be ensured that when the water level inside the second water tank 21 reaches this height, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 will start running again, avoiding damage to the ultrasonic atomizer 28 or shortening of its life due to insufficient water.
[0077] Furthermore, the distance between the second outlet 23 and the bottom of the second water tank 21 is greater than the distance between the water level sensor 27 and the bottom of the second water tank 21 .
[0078] The processing priority of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 of the present application is divided into three levels: the first level is to flow out through the first outlet 22 to the heat exchange component for heat exchange. The first outlet 22 is set at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21. As long as there is condensed water in the second water storage tank 21, it can be discharged to the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22. The second level is for the ultrasonic atomizer 28 to consume the condensed water. The water level sensor 27 connected to the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is fixed at a height of 10-15mm from the bottom of the second water storage tank 21. Only when the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 gathers to the height of the water level sensor 27, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 will start to work and consume the condensed water. The third stage is to discharge the condensed water to the third water tank 31 through the second outlet 23. A drain outlet is set at the bottom of the third water tank 31, so that the condensed water can be discharged to the outside of the condensed water treatment device; and the height of the second outlet 23 in the second water tank 21 is greater than the height of the water level sensor 27. This will ensure that when the ultrasonic atomizer 28 does not consume the condensed water in time and the condensed water continues to accumulate to the height of the second outlet 23, the condensed water in the second water tank 21 will be discharged to the third water tank 31 through the second outlet 23.
[0079] Example 4
[0080] like Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a condensate water treatment device provided in the present application includes a first water storage tank 11, a second water storage tank 21 and a third water storage tank 31, wherein the first water storage tank 11 is provided with a condensate water inlet; a filter screen 12 is provided at the connection point between the first water storage tank 11 and the second water storage tank 21; the second water storage tank 21 is provided with a first outlet 22 connected to a heat exchange component, and the second water storage tank 21 is connected to the third water storage tank 31 through a second outlet 23; an ultrasonic atomizer 28 is provided in the second water storage tank 21, and the outlet of the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located outside the condensate water treatment device.
[0081] A sterilization component 24 is provided at the bottom of the second water tank 21; the sterilization component 24 is used to sterilize the condensed water entering the second water tank 21. When the condensed water in the first water tank 11 enters the second water tank 21, it will pass through the filter 12. Large particles and dirt visible to the naked eye can be filtered out by the filter 12, but tiny or microbial bacteria still remain in the condensed water and need to be disinfected by the sterilization component 24.
[0082] like Figure 5As shown, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is located at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21, and the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is connected to the atomizing conduit 29, and the atomizing conduit 29 extends to the outside of the condensed water treatment device. A boss 26 is provided at the outer bottom of the atomizing conduit 29, and a water level sensor 27 is provided on the boss 26. The ultrasonic atomizer 28 is communicatively connected with the water level sensor 27, and the distance between the water level sensor 27 and the bottom of the second water storage tank 21 is 10-15mm. When the height of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 reaches the water level sensor 27 at the top of the boss 26, that is, after the water level sensor 27 senses the condensed water, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 starts to operate, so that the condensed water is ultrasonically atomized to form steam, and is discharged through the atomizing conduit 29.
[0083] Further, such as Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, an outer cover 41 is provided on the outside of the first water storage tank 11 and the second water storage tank 21; an atomization through hole is provided in the outer cover 41, and the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is connected to the atomization through hole through an atomization conduit 29, and a dustproof plate 43 is provided in the outer cover 41, and the dustproof plate 43 is connected to a driving component, and the driving component can drive the outer cover 41 to cover or stay away from the atomization through hole.
[0084] The driving component may be a driving component such as a stepping motor 44, and the output end of the stepping motor 44 is connected to the dustproof plate 43, which can drive the dustproof plate 43 to move to an open state or a closed state. Figure 6 As shown, the dustproof plate 43 covers the atomizing through hole and is in a closed state. Figure 7 As shown, the dustproof plate 43 is away from the atomizing through hole and is in an open state. At this time, the steam generated by the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is discharged through the atomizing conduit 29 and the atomizing through hole.
[0085] In the present application, the state of the dust plate 43 is associated with the operating state of the ultrasonic atomizer 28. When the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is started, the dust plate 43 is opened to allow steam to be discharged. When the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is turned off, the dust plate 43 is closed, so that the outer cover 41 is relatively sealed to prevent impurities or small animals from entering the second water storage tank 21 and to prevent the atomization conduit 29 from being dirty and blocked.
[0086] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, a panel 42 is provided on one end surface of the outer cover 41, and the panel 42 is detachably fixed on one end surface of the outer cover 41. The stepper motor 44 and the dustproof plate 43 are fixed in the panel 42. The dustproof plate 43 and the stepper motor 44 can be conveniently installed, disassembled and repaired through the detachable panel 42. At the same time, the atomization through hole can be provided just above the atomization conduit 29, so that the steam can be discharged smoothly.
[0087] The processing priority of the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 of the present application is divided into three levels: the first level is to flow out through the first outlet 22 to the heat exchange component for heat exchange. The first outlet 22 is set at the bottom of the second water storage tank 21. As long as there is condensed water in the second water storage tank 21, it can be discharged to the heat exchange component through the first outlet 22. The second level is for the ultrasonic atomizer 28 to consume the condensed water. The water level sensor 27 connected to the ultrasonic atomizer 28 is fixed at a height of 10-15mm from the bottom of the second water storage tank 21. Only when the condensed water in the second water storage tank 21 gathers to the height of the water level sensor 27, the ultrasonic atomizer 28 will start to work and consume the condensed water. The third stage is to discharge the condensed water to the third water tank 31 through the second outlet 23. A drain outlet is set at the bottom of the third water tank 31, so that the condensed water can be discharged to the outside of the condensed water treatment device; and the height of the second outlet 23 in the second water tank 21 is greater than the height of the water level sensor 27. This will ensure that when the ultrasonic atomizer 28 does not consume the condensed water in time and the condensed water continues to accumulate to the height of the second outlet 23, the condensed water in the second water tank 21 will be discharged to the third water tank 31 through the second outlet 23.
