Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of electrical appliance technology, and specifically relates to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] An existing embedded ceiling unit is mainly composed of two parts: an indoor unit and a panel component. The indoor unit is designed with a mounting lug, and the indoor unit is hoisted and installed above the ceiling through a hanging rod and the mounting lug. The panel component is fixed to the indoor unit by screws, and after the whole machine is installed, the edges of the panel are in contact with the ceiling.

[0003] The indoor unit mainly includes a box body, air duct components, evaporator components, water pump components and water receiving pan components. The main function of the water receiving pan component is to collect the condensed water from the evaporator. The water pump assembly can actively discharge the condensed water in the water receiving pan through a water pump and a drain pipe.

[0004] However, when the existing embedded ceiling machine is used, there may be a hidden danger that the water pump cannot work normally due to faults in the electronic control mainboard, water pump components, etc., and the condensed water in the water receiving tray continues to increase, causing the condensed water to overflow the water receiving tray and drip everywhere. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an air conditioner, which aims to at least solve the technical problem of condensed water overflowing from the water receiving tray and dripping everywhere to a certain extent.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0007] An air conditioner is special in that it includes: a shell with an air inlet; a heat exchanger arranged in the shell; a water receiving assembly arranged in the shell and below the heat exchanger, the water receiving assembly having a water receiving groove and an overflow hole connected to the water receiving groove; wherein, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole on the shell is staggered with the projection of the air inlet on the shell.

[0008] Since the shell is provided with an air inlet, the heat exchanger is arranged in the shell, the water receiving assembly is arranged in the shell and is located below the heat exchanger, and the water receiving assembly is provided with a water receiving groove and an overflow hole connected to the water receiving groove, therefore, when the water pump cannot work normally due to problems such as the electronic control main board and the water pump assembly, the condensed water in the water receiving assembly will gradually increase, and the overflow hole is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out from the overflow hole to avoid the condensed water overflowing the water receiving assembly and dripping everywhere, thereby ensuring the user experience.

[0009] Since the water receiving component is provided with a water receiving trough and an overflow hole connected with the water receiving trough, the water receiving component has a water receiving function and an overflow function, realizes integrated function integration, realizes dual use of one piece, and reduces costs.

[0010] Since the projection of the overflow hole on the shell is staggered with the projection of the air inlet on the shell along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole on the shell will not overlap with the projection of the air inlet on the shell along the air inlet direction, that is to say, the overflow hole will not block the air inlet, and the wind entering the shell through the air inlet can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger, thereby ensuring the air inlet area of ​​the air inlet and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, further improving the user experience. At the same time, when the wind enters the shell from the air inlet, it will not blow to the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole, thereby avoiding blowing the condensed water into the shell and affecting the safety of the electrical equipment in the shell. The condensed water discharged from the overflow hole drips under the action of gravity, which can remind the user that the air conditioner has problems with the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc., which causes the water pump to fail to work normally, so as to facilitate timely repair of the fault.

[0011] In some embodiments, the water receiving trough includes: a water receiving section; an overflow section connected to the water receiving section at an angle; wherein the overflow hole is connected to the overflow section so that the water receiving assembly has both water receiving and overflow functions.

[0012] In some embodiments, the overflow section has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side is located between the second side and the air inlet; wherein the overflow hole is opened on the first side to ensure the sealing performance of the air conditioner.

[0013] In some embodiments, the shell includes a main body and a surface frame assembly connected to the main body, and the surface frame assembly is provided with electronic components; the overflow hole and the electronic components are respectively located at two ends of the water receiving section to ensure the safety of the electronic components.

[0014] In some embodiments, the shell includes a main body and a face frame assembly connected to the main body, and a driver connected to the air guide member is arranged on the face frame assembly; wherein the overflow hole and the driver are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section to ensure the safety of the driver.

[0015] In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole on the shell is staggered from the projection of the heat exchanger on the shell, so that the wind entering the shell through the air inlet can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0016] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger is tilted inside the shell and has a first end and a second end higher than the first end; wherein, along the air inlet direction, the distance between the projection of the overflow hole on the shell and the projection of the first end on the shell is greater than the distance between the projection of the overflow hole on the shell and the projection of the second end on the shell, so as to avoid condensed water on the heat exchanger from flowing out directly from the overflow hole when the air conditioner is operating normally.

[0017] In some embodiments, the shell includes a main body and a face frame assembly connected to the main body, and the face frame assembly is provided with a drain hole connected to the overflow hole to discharge the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole.

[0018] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further comprises: a flow guide connected to the water receiving assembly and communicating with the overflow hole and the drain hole so that the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole can flow to the drain hole.

[0019] In some embodiments, the guide member also includes: a guide portion, which is connected to the water receiving assembly and has a guide groove connecting the overflow hole and the downhole; a connecting portion, which is connected to the guide portion and / or the face frame assembly and has a water guide channel connecting the guide groove and the downhole; wherein the connecting portion is arranged at an angle to the guide portion so that the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole can flow to the downhole.

[0020] In some embodiments, a reinforcement is provided on the guide portion to ensure the structural strength of the guide portion, and the reinforcement and the guide groove are respectively located on opposite sides of the guide portion to avoid the reinforcement interfering with the flow of condensed water in the guide groove.

[0021] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger is tilted inside the shell, and the water receiving assembly further includes: a main water receiving tray, which is provided with the water receiving groove and the overflow hole; a support frame, which is connected to the main water receiving tray; and a plurality of auxiliary water receiving trays, which are connected to the support frame and are arranged below the heat exchanger, and the plurality of auxiliary water receiving trays are arranged in sequence in the upper and lower directions along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger, and along the height direction of the shell, the projections of the plurality of auxiliary water receiving trays on the bottom plate of the shell are connected end to end to fully receive the condensed water on the heat exchanger.

[0022] In some embodiments, a support groove capable of supporting an electronic control component is provided on the end surface of the support frame facing away from the auxiliary water receiving tray to facilitate assembly of the air conditioner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0054] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0055] The air conditioner provided in this embodiment is intended to at least to some extent solve the technical problem of condensed water overflowing from the water receiving tray and dripping everywhere.

[0056] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of an air conditioner in some embodiments; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the separation of the face frame assembly and the body of the air conditioner; Figure 3 for Figure 2 Exploded view of the main body; Figure 4 for Figure 2 Exploded view of the mid-frame assembly. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The air conditioner of the embodiment of the present application includes: a housing 10, a heat exchanger 20 and a water receiving assembly 30. The housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 101. The heat exchanger 20 is arranged in the housing 10. The water receiving assembly 30 is arranged in the housing 10 and is located below the heat exchanger 20. The water receiving assembly 30 is provided with a water receiving groove 301 and an overflow hole 302 connected to the water receiving groove 301. In which, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 is staggered with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10.

[0057] The air conditioner can be a built-in ceiling unit or a duct unit.

[0058] The heat exchanger 20 may be an evaporator.

[0059] Since the shell 10 is provided with an air inlet 101, the heat exchanger 20 is arranged in the shell 10, the water receiving component 30 is arranged in the shell 10 and is located below the heat exchanger 20, and the water receiving component 30 is provided with a water receiving groove 301 and an overflow hole 302 connected to the water receiving groove 301, therefore, when the water pump cannot work normally due to a fault such as a fault in the electronic control main board or the water pump component 60, the condensed water in the water receiving component 30 will gradually increase, and the overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving component 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving component 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out from the overflow hole 302 to avoid the condensed water overflowing the water receiving component 30 and dripping everywhere, thereby ensuring the user experience.

[0060] Since the water receiving assembly 30 is provided with a water receiving groove 301 and an overflow hole 302 connected to the water receiving groove 301, the water receiving assembly 30 has a water receiving function and an overflow function, realizes integrated function integration, realizes dual use, and reduces costs.

[0061] Since the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the shell 10 is staggered with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the shell 10 along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the shell 10 will not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the shell 10, that is, the overflow hole 302 will not block the air inlet 101, and the wind entering the shell 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, thereby ensuring the air inlet area of ​​the air inlet 101 and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20, further improving the user experience. At the same time, when the wind enters the shell 10 through the air inlet 101, it will not blow to the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302, thereby avoiding blowing the condensed water into the shell 10 and affecting the safety of the electrical equipment in the shell 10. The condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302 drips under the action of gravity, which can remind the user that the air conditioner has problems with the electronic control mainboard, water pump assembly, etc., resulting in the water pump being unable to work normally, so as to facilitate timely maintenance of the fault.

[0062] Combination Figure 2In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the shell 10 is staggered with the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the shell 10, that is, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the shell 10 will not overlap with the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the shell 10, and the overflow hole 302 will not block the heat exchanger 20. The wind entering the shell 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20 and further improving the user experience.

[0063] Figure 5 for Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of the middle water receiving assembly from the first perspective; Figure 6 for Figure 5 The enlarged schematic diagram at A in the middle; Figure 7 for Figure 3 A schematic structural diagram of the middle water receiving assembly from a second perspective; Figure 8 for Figure 7 Rear view of Fig. 9 for Figure 8 Enlarged schematic diagram of point B. Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, in order to enable the water receiving assembly 30 to have water receiving function and overflow function, the water receiving tank 301 includes: a water receiving section 3011 and an overflow section 3012. The overflow section 3012 is connected to the water receiving section 3011 at an angle. Among them, the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012.

[0064] In some embodiments, the water receiving section 3011 is located below the heat exchanger 20. When the air conditioner is cooling, the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger 20 will drip into the water receiving section 3011. The condensed water in the water receiving section 3011 can be pumped out by the water pump assembly of the air conditioner to achieve the function of discharging the condensed water. When the water pump cannot work normally due to a fault in the electronic control motherboard, the water pump assembly, etc., the condensed water in the water receiving section 3011 will gradually increase and flow into the overflow section 3012. The overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out through the overflow section 3012 and the overflow hole 302 in sequence to avoid the condensed water overflowing the water receiving assembly 30 and dripping everywhere, thereby ensuring the user's experience.

[0065] When the air conditioner is working, wind enters the housing 10 through the air inlet 101, which will blow the condensed water on the water receiving section 3011. If the wind volume is large and the overflow hole 302 is connected to the water receiving section 3011, the condensed water on the water receiving section 3011 may be blown out through the overflow hole 302, affecting the user experience. Figure 5In some embodiments, in order to avoid blowing out the overflowing condensed water and affecting the safety of the electrical components of the air conditioner, the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012. Compared with being connected to the water receiving section 3011, the overflow hole 302 can be kept away from the air inlet area of ​​the heat exchanger 20, ensuring that the condensed water can flow out normally, ensuring the safety of the electrical components of the air conditioner, and improving the user experience.

[0066] If the overflow hole 302 is connected to the water receiving section 3011, and the length of the water receiving section 3011 is long, when the water pump cannot work normally due to the failure of the electronic control motherboard or the water pump assembly, the accurate overflow position cannot be ensured, resulting in a larger condensed water dripping area, difficult protection, and increased electrical safety risks. Figure 5 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the accurate overflow position, the length of the overflow section 3012 is smaller than the length of the water receiving section 3011, and the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012. When the condensed water is discharged from the overflow hole 302, the overflow position of the condensed water can be accurately known, the condensed water dripping area can be reduced, protection is facilitated, and electrical safety risks are reduced.

[0067] If the overflow hole 302 is connected to the water receiving section 3011, and the length of the water receiving section 3011 is relatively long, there is a risk that the overflow hole 302 will be twisted and deformed after injection molding, which will affect the overflow of condensed water. Figure 5 In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the condensed water can overflow normally, the length of the overflow section 3012 is smaller than the length of the water receiving section 3011, and the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012. That is to say, the overflow hole 302 is opened in the overflow section 3012 to facilitate injection molding, which can reduce the possibility of distortion of the overflow hole 302, so that the condensed water can be discharged normally, and the structural reliability is high.

[0068] If the overflow hole 302 is connected to the water receiving section 3011, so that the distance between the overflow hole 302 and the heat exchanger 20 is relatively close, there is a risk that the condensed water will flow over the overflow hole 302 and drip directly when the air conditioner is operating normally. Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, in order to avoid the risk of condensed water overflowing the overflow hole 302 and dripping directly when the air conditioner is operating normally, the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012, so that the overflow hole 302 is away from the heat exchanger 20. When the air conditioner is operating normally, it is ensured that the condensed water will not overflow the overflow hole 302 and drip directly, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the shell 10 is staggered with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the shell 10, so the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the shell 10 will not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the shell 10, that is, the overflow section 3012 will not block the air inlet 101, and the wind entering the shell 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, thereby ensuring the air inlet area of ​​the air inlet 101 and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20, further improving the user experience.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the shell 10 is staggered with the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the shell 10, that is, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the shell 10 will not overlap with the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the shell 10, and the overflow section 3012 will not block the heat exchanger 20. The wind entering the shell 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20 and further improving the user experience.

[0071] Combination Figure 5 In some embodiments, the angle between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 may be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. When the angle between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 is a right angle, the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 are perpendicular to each other. However, the perpendicular relationship between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 is not absolutely perpendicular in a geometric sense, and the angle relationship between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 may be in the range of 90±3°.

[0072] In some embodiments, since the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012, the area of ​​the overflow section 3012 occupied by the overflow hole 302 is smaller, the structure is simple, and it is easy to prepare, which reduces the processing cost. Moreover, the overflow hole 302 is concentrated. When the water pump cannot work normally due to problems such as the electronic control main board and the water pump assembly, the condensed water in the overflow section 3012 will first flow out of the overflow hole 302, and the range of the condensed water dripping is smaller, which reduces the electrical safety risk and facilitates protection.

[0073] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a body 103 and a face frame assembly 104 connected to the body 103 . The face frame assembly 104 is supported by the body 103 , and an air inlet 101 is provided on the face frame assembly 104 .

[0074] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 5In some embodiments, in order to ensure the sealing performance of the air conditioner, the overflow section 3012 has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side is located between the second side and the air inlet 101. The overflow hole 302 is opened on the first side.

[0075] The second side of the overflow section 3012 is fixed to the folded edge of the chassis 1011 of the air conditioner. After the body 103 is connected to the face frame assembly 104, the housing 10 is sealed together by the second side, the folded edge of the chassis 1011 and the face frame assembly 104. If the overflow hole 302 is opened on the second side, there will be air leakage and water leakage. In some embodiments, in order to reduce the possibility of air leakage and water leakage, the overflow hole 302 is opened on the first side to ensure the sealing performance of the air conditioner.

[0076] The face frame assembly 104 has an air inlet grille 107, and the second side has exceeded the area of ​​the air inlet grille 107. If the overflow hole 302 is opened on the second side, the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 will flow onto the panel 109 of the face frame assembly 104. The panel 109 is generally a concave surface. When the condensed water flows onto the panel 109, the condensed water will accumulate, which will affect the operation of the electrical components of the air conditioner and may also cause water accumulation and bacteria to grow, affecting the user experience. Fig.10 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the coordination between the middle frame assembly and the water receiving assembly; Fig.11 for Fig.10 Middle CC section view; Fig.12 for Fig.10 The enlarged schematic diagram at D in the middle; combined Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, in order to discharge the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302, the overflow hole 302 is opened on the first side, and the first side is located in the area of ​​the air inlet grille 107, so that the overflow hole 302 is opposite to the air inlet grille 107, and the condensed water can be discharged through the overflow hole 302 and the air inlet grille 107 in turn, avoiding the accumulation of condensed water, ensuring that the electrical components of the air conditioner can operate normally, and preventing the condensed water from flowing onto the panel 109, avoiding the accumulation of water and bacteria, and ensuring the user experience.

[0077] Fig.13 for Fig.10 Exploded diagram of . Figure 2 and Fig.13In some embodiments, in order to ensure the safety of the electronic components 105, the housing 10 further includes a face frame assembly 104 connected to the body 103, and the face frame assembly 104 is provided with the electronic components 105. The overflow hole 302 and the electronic components 105 are respectively located at the two ends of the water receiving section 3011. The water receiving section 3011 is located at both ends of the center line of the length direction of the housing 10, and the electronic components 105 can be electrical components such as display components, receiving components, and control components.

[0078] In some embodiments, when the water pump cannot work normally due to faults in the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc., the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase, and the overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out from the overflow hole 302. The overflow hole 302 and the electronic component 105 are respectively located at the two ends of the water receiving section 3011, so that the overflow hole 302 is away from the electronic component 105, thereby preventing the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 from flowing to the electronic component 105, avoiding short circuit failure of the electronic component 105, and ensuring the safety of the electronic component 105.

[0079] Combination Figure 4 and Fig.13 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the safety of the driver 108, the housing 10 further includes a face frame assembly 104 connected to the body 103, and the face frame assembly 104 is provided with a driver 108 connected to the air guide 106. The overflow hole 302 and the driver 108 are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section 3012. The overflow section 3012 is located at both ends of the center line of the width direction of the housing 10.

[0080] In some embodiments, when the water pump cannot work normally due to faults in the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc., the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase, and the overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out from the overflow hole 302. The overflow hole 302 and the driver 108 are respectively located at the two ends of the overflow section 3012, so that the overflow hole 302 is away from the driver 108, thereby preventing the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 from flowing to the driver 108, avoiding the driver 108 from a short circuit failure, and ensuring the safety of the driver 108.

[0081] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, the housing 10 has a driver mounting seat 102, and the driver 108 can be mounted on the driver mounting seat to support the driver 108 through the driver mounting seat 102. The overflow hole 302 and the driver mounting seat 102 are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section 3012.

[0082] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the condensed water on the heat exchanger 20 from flowing out directly from the overflow hole 302 when the air conditioner is operating normally, the heat exchanger 20 is tilted in the housing 10 and has a first end and a second end higher than the first end. In the air inlet direction, the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 and the projection of the first end on the housing 10 is greater than the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 and the projection of the second end on the housing 10.

[0083] In some embodiments, during the cooling process of the air conditioner, condensed water will be generated on the heat exchanger 20. Along the air inlet direction, the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the shell 10 and the projection of the first end on the shell 10 is greater than the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the shell 10 and the projection of the second end on the shell 10. There is a height difference between the overflow hole 302 and the second end, so that the overflow hole 302 is far away from the heat exchanger 20. There is no risk of condensed water on the heat exchanger 20 dripping directly through the overflow hole 302 and flowing out of the water receiving assembly 30 due to the heat exchanger 20 being close to the overflow hole 302, thereby ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner operation and improving the user experience.

[0084] Combination Fig.12 In some embodiments, in order to discharge the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 , the shell 10 further includes a face frame assembly 104 connected to the body 10 , and a drain hole 1010 communicating with the overflow hole 302 is opened on the face frame assembly 104 .

[0085] In some embodiments, when the water pump cannot work normally due to faults in the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc., the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase, and the overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out through the overflow hole 302 and the drain hole 1010 in turn, avoiding the accumulation of condensed water, ensuring that the electrical components of the air conditioner can operate normally, and preventing condensed water from flowing onto the panel 109, avoiding the accumulation of water and bacteria, thereby ensuring the user experience.

[0086] In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the drain hole 1010 on the shell 10 is staggered with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the shell 10, that is, the projection of the drain hole 1010 on the shell 10 will not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the shell 10, and when wind enters the shell 10 from the air inlet 101, it will not blow the condensed water discharged from the drain hole 1010, thereby avoiding blowing the condensed water into the shell 10 and affecting the safety of the electrical equipment in the shell 10. The condensed water discharged from the drain hole 1010 drips under the action of gravity, which can remind the user that the air conditioner has problems with the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc., which makes it possible for the water pump to fail to work normally, so that the fault can be repaired in time.

[0087] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, in order to allow the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302 to flow to the drain hole 1010, the air conditioner further includes: a guide member 50. The guide member 50 is connected to the water receiving assembly 30, and connects the overflow hole 302 and the drain hole 1010. The guide member 50 guides the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 to flow smoothly to the drain hole 1010. At the same time, the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 can be prevented from flowing in an uncertain direction, ensuring the accurate overflow position of the water receiving assembly 30, reducing the dripping area of ​​the condensed water, facilitating protection, and reducing electrical safety risks.

[0088] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig.12 In some embodiments, in order to allow the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302 to flow to the drain hole 1010, the guide member 50 further includes: a guide portion 501 and a connecting portion (not shown in the figure). The guide portion 501 is connected to the water receiving assembly 30, and is provided with a guide groove 5011 connecting the overflow hole 302 and the drain hole 1010. The connecting portion is connected to the guide portion 501 and / or the face frame assembly 104, and has a water guide channel connecting the guide groove and the drain hole 1010. The connecting portion is arranged at an angle to the guide portion 501.

[0089] In some embodiments, the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 can flow into the water guide channel through the guide groove 5011, and the condensed water is guided to the drain hole 1010 through the water guide channel, so that the condensed water 102 can be discharged smoothly. In addition, the water guide channel can prevent external environmental factors from affecting the flow of the condensed water 102, ensuring that the condensed water 102 can flow smoothly to the drain hole 1010.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to ensure structural strength, the guide portion 501 can be integrally formed with the overflow section 3012 of the water receiving assembly 30, thereby reducing the processing steps and lowering the cost.

[0091] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the guide portion 501, a reinforcement member 502 is provided on the guide portion 501, which can reduce the possibility of distortion of the guide portion 501, so that the condensed water can be discharged normally.

[0092] Combination Figure 7 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the reinforcement 502 from interfering with the flow of condensed water in the guide groove 5011, the reinforcement 502 and the guide groove 5011 are respectively located on opposite sides of the guide portion 501, so that the condensed water in the guide groove 5011 can flow smoothly to the connecting portion.

[0093] Combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 20 is tilted in the housing 10. In order to fully receive the condensed water on the heat exchanger 20, the water receiving assembly 30 further includes: a main water receiving tray 303, a support frame 304 and an auxiliary water receiving tray 305. The main water receiving tray 303 is provided with a water receiving groove 301 and an overflow hole 302. The support frame 304 is connected to the main water receiving tray 303. A plurality of auxiliary water receiving trays 305 are connected to the support frame 304 and are arranged below the heat exchanger 20. The plurality of auxiliary water receiving trays 305 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger 20. Along the height direction of the housing 10, the projections of the plurality of auxiliary water receiving trays 305 on the bottom plate of the housing 10 are connected end to end. Among them, a wind gap for air to pass is separated between two adjacent auxiliary water receiving trays 305.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the heat exchanger 20 generates condensed water, under the action of gravity, a portion of the condensed water can flow downward along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger 20 and flow into the main water receiving tray 303, and the other portion of the condensed water drips downward from the inclined surface of the heat exchanger 20 into multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305. The main water receiving tray 303 and multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305 are used to receive the condensed water dripping downward from the heat exchanger 20, thereby preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the chassis of the shell 10, or falling into the room from the air inlet 101 on the chassis, thereby improving the user experience.

Fig.15 , Fig.16 , Fig.17 , Fig.18 and Fig.19 In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the assembly of the air conditioner, a support groove 3041 capable of supporting the electronic control component 40 is opened on the end surface of the support frame 304 facing away from the auxiliary water receiving tray 305.

[0096] In some embodiments, when the air conditioner is assembled in the factory, one end of the electronic control component 40 can be placed in the support groove 3041, and the other end can be placed on the edge of the shell 10, so that the electronic control component 40 is tilted and supported by the support frame 304 and the shell 10 to facilitate wiring of the electronic control box.

[0097] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the water receiving assembly 30, the main water receiving tray 303, the support frame 304 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 305 are integrally formed, which reduces the processing steps and reduces the processing cost.

[0098] In some embodiments, a notch is provided on the water receiving component 30 to form an overflow hole 302 , and the edge of the water receiving component 30 does not need to be made high to save materials and reduce costs.
