[0044] The water valve box assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, a water valve box assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a water valve box 1 and a valve assembly 2 .

[0046] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the water valve box assembly 10 is used for an air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 can be a water-cooled air-conditioning outdoor unit. The air-conditioning indoor unit realizes indoor cooling through the circulation of refrigerant. The air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 flows water from the water tank into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 through a water pump to cool the refrigerant after the temperature rises, and discharges the waste water with a higher temperature after heat exchange out of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. The water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 can effectively absorb and discharge heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect. At the same time, the water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 can also cool other high-temperature components inside the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 and reduce their operating temperatures.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water valve box 1 is suitable for being arranged in the housing 20 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 and has a receiving space 11, and the valve assembly 2 is arranged in the receiving space 11. The valve assembly 2 can control whether water enters the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, or control the size of the flow rate of water entering the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, etc. The water valve box 1 can limit the valve assembly 2 in the receiving space 11 to form a module of the entire water valve box assembly 10, realize the modularization of the water path components of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and the water valve box 1 can effectively prevent the water in the water path from splashing to the outside of the water valve box assembly 10 when the valve assembly 2 fails, which can prevent water from splashing onto circuit components, and can prevent short circuit and other faults of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, thereby increasing the power reliability of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0048] According to the water valve box assembly 10 of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the water valve box 1 in the shell 20 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and arranging the valve assembly 2 in the accommodating space 11 of the water valve box 1, the water valve box 1 can confine the valve assembly 2 in the accommodating space 11 to form a module of the entire water valve box assembly 10, thereby realizing the modularization of the water path components of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and the water valve box 1 can effectively prevent the water in the water path from splashing to the outside of the water valve box assembly 10 when the valve assembly 2 fails, thereby preventing water from splashing onto circuit components, thereby preventing short circuit and other faults of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and increasing the power reliability of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the upper end of the water valve box 1 is open, which is convenient for installing the valve assembly 2 into the accommodating space 11 of the water valve box 1. The shell 20 is used to seal the upper open end of the water valve box 1. The top cover 202 of the shell 20 is used to seal the upper open end of the water valve box 1. The water valve box 1 can be composed of only one component. The assembly of the water valve box 1 is relatively simple, and the assembly of the water valve box assembly 10 is relatively simple.

[0050] Furthermore, if Figure 1 As shown, a seal 201 is pasted on the shell 20, and the water valve box 1 and the shell 20 are sealed and connected by the seal 201, so as to realize the sealing of the water valve box assembly 10. The nearly sealed water valve box 1 can more effectively prevent the water in the water path from splashing to the outside of the water valve box assembly 10 when the valve assembly 2 fails, and can avoid water splashing onto circuit components, thereby avoiding short circuit and other faults of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and increasing the power reliability of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, a water outlet hole 12 is provided on the bottom wall of the water valve box 1. It is understandable that when the valve assembly 2 fails, the water in the water path flows out to the outside, and flows to the bottom wall of the water valve box 1 under the action of gravity, which can prevent water from splashing onto circuit components, and can prevent short circuit and other faults of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, thereby increasing the power reliability of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. Water flows out of the water valve box 1 from the water outlet hole 12, and then flows to the chassis of the outdoor unit according to the designed water path. The water can flow to the corresponding position, thereby increasing the reliability of the flow of waste water.

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, along the first direction (such as Figure 4 As shown), in the direction toward the water outlet 12, the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 is inclined downward, along the second direction (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown), in the direction toward the water outlet 12, the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 is inclined downward, and the first direction, the second direction and the up-down direction (as shown) Figure 4 The inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 is perpendicular to each other. That is, the lowest point of the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 in the first direction and the second direction is the location of the water outlet hole 12. When the valve assembly 2 fails, the water in the water path flows out to the outside and flows to the bottom wall of the water valve box 1 under the action of gravity. The water located at the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 flows to the water outlet hole 12 along the first direction and / or the second direction under the action of gravity. The water flows out of the water valve box 1 from the water outlet hole 12 and then flows to the chassis of the external unit according to the designed water path. The water can flow to the corresponding position, thereby increasing the reliability of the flow of wastewater.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, the valve assembly 2 includes a plurality of control valves, and the plurality of control valves at least include a solenoid valve 21 for controlling on and off and a flow valve 22 for adjusting flow. The solenoid valve 21 is used to control the switch of the water flow, and can cut off or open the water flow; the solenoid valve 21 is generally used in a pipeline system, such as a household tap water pipeline, an industrial pipeline, etc. The flow valve 22 is used to control the flow and pressure of the water flow, and can adjust the size and speed of the water flow; the flow valve 22 is generally used in the fields of industrial production, agricultural irrigation, urban water supply, etc.

[0054] Of course, the utility model is not limited to this. The valve assembly 2 may also include a safety valve, a relief valve and an exhaust valve. The safety valve is used to protect the safety of the system. When the system pressure exceeds the set value, the safety valve will automatically open to release the pressure. Safety valves are usually used in boilers, pressure vessels, pipeline systems, etc. The overflow valve is used to control the pressure and flow of the system. When the system pressure or flow exceeds the set value, the overflow valve will automatically open to discharge the excess water. The overflow valve is usually used in water treatment, sewage treatment, air conditioning systems, etc. The exhaust valve is used to remove air from the pipeline system to ensure the normal operation of the system. The exhaust valve is usually used in water supply, drainage, HVAC and other fields.

[0055] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the water valve box assembly 10 also includes an input quick connector 3 and an output quick connector 4. The input quick connector 3 is connected to the inlet end of the valve assembly 2, and the output quick connector 4 is connected to the outlet end of the valve assembly 2. The input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 are usually composed of a connector body, a sealing ring, a clamping ring, a sleeve and other parts. The function of the input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 is to conveniently connect and replace water pipes by means of quick connection and disassembly. The water valve box 1 is provided with a notch 13 for the input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 to pass through. The input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 are assembled into the notch 13 of the water valve box 1, and the installation of the input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 is relatively convenient.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the solenoid valve 21 and the flow valve 22 are connected by a right-angle connector 23. It can be understood that the right-angle connector 23 can be a 90° quick connector or a rubber tube, which can realize the connection of the waterway between the control valves. The input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 are inserted in a vertical direction, and the waterway forms a clear dead angle at the vertical and right angles, which can effectively prevent foreign matter from entering the waterway. Water encounters less resistance when passing through a right angle, which helps to reduce energy loss and improve fluid transportation efficiency.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 is provided with a limiting protrusion 14, and the valve assembly 2 is supported on the limiting protrusion 14. The valve assembly 2 is higher than the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1, and when the valve assembly 2 leaks, water can flow on the inner bottom wall relatively smoothly, avoiding the valve assembly 2 affecting the flow of water.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the valve assembly 2 is connected to the side wall of the water valve box 1, and the position of the valve assembly 2 is relatively reliable. For example, the valve assembly 2 and the side wall of the water valve box 1 can be connected by means of screws or buckles 51.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes a shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30, which is arranged in the housing 20. Refrigerant flows in the inner tube of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30, and water flows in the outer tube. The outer tube is sleeved outside the inner tube, and the water in the outer tube can exchange heat with the refrigerant in the inner tube to achieve a phase change of the refrigerant. A positioning base 15 is provided on the outer bottom wall of the water valve box 1, and a lower surface of the positioning base 15 is provided with an arc surface that is concave upward and matches the upper end of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30. The arc surface can be clamped on the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30, and the assembly of the water valve box assembly 10 and the shell-and-tube heat exchanger 30 is relatively simple and convenient.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water valve box 1 is provided with a wire passing port 16, and the outer wall of the water valve box 1 is provided with a wire management buckle 5, which is arranged on one side of the wire passing port 16. The signal power line 50 of the valve assembly 2 passes through the wire passing port 16 and is clamped in the wire management buckle 5. The position of the signal power line 50 is more reliable, and it is convenient to concentrate and fix the signal power line 50, so that the arrangement of the signal power line 50 is simpler and clearer.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 includes an electric control box 40, which is arranged in the shell 20. The electric control box 40 is provided with a clamping hole 401, and the outer wall of the water valve box 1 is provided with a buckle 51 that cooperates with the clamping hole 401. The water valve box 1 and the electric control box 40 are connected by clamping, and the connection between the water valve box 1 and the electric control box 40 is relatively simple and reliable.

[0062] In this embodiment, the buckle 51 is disposed on the cable management buckle 5 to avoid adding a protruding portion to the water valve box 1 , thereby preventing the protruding portion from breaking after the water valve box 1 is impacted, thereby increasing the reliability of the water valve box 1 .

[0063] In addition, a fastening connection may be added between the water valve box 1 and the electric control box 40 to increase the connection strength between the water valve box 1 and the electric control box 40, and the disassembly between the water valve box 1 and the electric control box 40 is more convenient.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the side wall of the water valve box 1 is connected to the shell 20 by fasteners, and the side wall of the water valve box 1 is provided with mounting holes for the fasteners to pass through, thereby increasing the connection strength between the water valve box 1 and the shell 20, and the disassembly between the water valve box 1 and the shell 20 is more convenient.

[0065] Reference below Figures 1 to 6 A cable management structure 10 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0066] The water valve box assembly 10 according to the embodiment of the utility model comprises a water valve box 1 , a valve assembly 2 , an input quick connector 3 and an output quick connector 4 .

[0067] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the water valve box assembly 10 is used for an air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. The air-conditioning indoor unit realizes indoor cooling through the circulation of refrigerant. The air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 uses a water pump to flow water from a water tank into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 to cool the heated refrigerant, and discharges the waste water with a higher temperature after heat exchange out of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. The water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 can effectively absorb and discharge heat, thereby achieving a cooling effect. At the same time, the water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 can also cool high-temperature components such as graphics cards and CPUs to reduce their operating temperatures.

[0068] The water valve box 1 is suitable for being arranged in the shell 20 of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 and has a accommodating space 11. The valve assembly 2 is arranged in the accommodating space 11. The water valve box 1 can confine the valve assembly 2 in the accommodating space 11 to form a module of the entire water valve box assembly 10, thereby realizing the modularization of the water path components of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. The water valve box 1 can effectively prevent the water in the water path from splashing to the outside of the water valve box assembly 10 when the valve assembly 2 fails, thereby preventing water from splashing onto circuit components, thereby preventing short circuit and other faults of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100, and increasing the power reliability of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100.

A seal 201 is attached to the shell 20, and the water valve box 1 and the shell 20 are sealed and connected by the seal 201. The nearly sealed water valve box 1 can more effectively prevent the water in the waterway from splashing to the outside of the water valve box assembly 10 when the valve assembly 2 fails, and can prevent water from splashing onto circuit components, which can avoid causing short circuits and other faults in the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and increase the power reliability of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

The water located at the inner bottom wall of the water valve box 1 flows toward the water outlet hole 12 along the first direction and / or the second direction under the action of gravity. The water flows out of the water valve box 1 from the water outlet hole 12, and then flows to the chassis of the external unit according to the designed water path. The water can flow to the corresponding position, thereby increasing the reliability of the flow of wastewater.

[0071] The valve assembly 2 includes a solenoid valve 21 for controlling on and off and a flow valve 22 for adjusting flow.

[0073] The solenoid valve 21 and the flow valve 22 are connected by a right-angle connector 23. The input quick connector 3 and the output quick connector 4 are inserted in a perpendicular direction. The waterway forms an obvious dead angle at the vertical and right angles, which can effectively prevent foreign matter from entering the waterway.
