[0032] Figure 1 The schematic structural diagram of the vertical air conditioner base 110 is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figures 2 to 6 The embodiment of the utility model provides a vertical air conditioner base 110. The vertical air conditioner base 110 includes a base body 111 and a water guide channel 114.

[0033] A water receiving groove 112 is provided on the base body 111 , and a mounting portion is provided on the upper portion of a groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112 , and the mounting portion is used to mount the column 120 .

[0034] The water guide channel 114 is disposed on the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112 , and is used to connect the installation portion and the water receiving groove 112 .

[0035] Specifically, the water inlet port of the water channel 114 is connected to the mounting portion, and the water outlet end of the water channel 114 is connected to the inside of the water receiving tank 112. The inside of the water receiving tank 112 has a certain accommodation space, which can be used to collect condensed water.

[0036] In this embodiment, a water receiving groove 112 and a water guide channel 114 are provided on the base body 111. When the vertical air conditioner 100 is in cooling operation, condensation will be generated inside the vertical air conditioner 100, and the condensation will gather into water droplets, which will flow along the column 120 to the mounting portion on the base body 111, and can be transported to the water receiving groove 112 through the water guide channel 114, thereby preventing the water from flowing onto the ground. Therefore, this embodiment solves the problem of water leakage in the base of the vertical air conditioner 100, and achieves the purpose of improving the user experience.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the bottom surface of the water guide channel 114 is inclined downward from the mounting portion to the direction close to the water receiving groove 112 .

[0038] That is to say, the inlet end of the water guiding channel 114 is lower than the outlet end of the water guiding channel 114 .

[0039] The above arrangement can improve the water guiding speed of the water guiding channel, thereby facilitating the rapid delivery of water drops flowing down from the column 120 to the water receiving groove 112, thereby further preventing water drops from gathering in large quantities at the installation portion and flowing onto the ground.

[0040] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the angle between the bottom surface of the water-conducting channel 114 and the horizontal plane is 3 degrees to 45 degrees.

[0041] For example, the angle between the bottom surface of the water-conducting channel 114 and the horizontal plane may be any one of 3 degrees, 10 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, and 45 degrees.

[0042] Specifically, the larger the angle between the bottom surface of the water-conducting channel 114 and the horizontal plane is, the faster the water-conducting speed of the water-conducting channel 114 is, but the higher the processing cost of the water-conducting channel 114 is.

[0043] In order to take into account both the water guiding speed and the processing cost of the water guiding channel 114, preferably, the angle between the bottom surface of the water guiding channel 114 and the horizontal plane is 3 degrees to 15 degrees.

[0044] More preferably, if Figure 6 As shown, the angle between the bottom surface of the water-conducting channel 114 and the horizontal plane is 5 degrees. Through the above arrangement, the water-conducting rate and the processing cost of the water-conducting channel 114 can be better balanced.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion includes a mounting groove 113 for inserting the plug-in portion 121 of the column 120 , and the mounting groove 113 is communicated with the water guide channel 114 .

[0046] Specifically, the vertical air conditioner 100 includes a column 120, the lower part of the column 120 has a plug-in portion 121, and the mounting portion includes a mounting groove 113. The plug-in portion 121 is plugged and matched with the mounting groove 113 to install the column 120 in the mounting groove 113. The inlet end of the water guide channel 114 is connected to the interior of the mounting groove 113.

[0047] In this embodiment, during assembly, the plug-in portion 121 of the column 120 only needs to be installed in the installation groove 113 , which has the advantage of convenient assembly.

[0048] In addition, water drops flowing down from the column 120 enter the installation groove 113 along the column 120, and are discharged into the water receiving groove 112 through the water guide channel 114, thereby preventing a large number of water drops from gathering on the upper surface of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112 and flowing to the ground.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, the water guide channel 114 is a water guide groove with an upper opening.

[0050] Specifically, the water guiding groove is formed at the upper portion of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112 .

[0051] In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, when the mounting portion includes the mounting groove 113, the water guide channel may also be a circumferentially fully enclosed structure.

[0052] Compared with the circumferentially fully enclosed water-conducting channel, the upper open water-conducting groove not only has the advantages of easy processing and low processing cost, but also has better water droplet collection and drainage capabilities.

[0053] Specifically, the width and depth of the water guiding groove can be selected according to the size of the base body.

[0054] Preferably, the width of the water guiding groove is 3 mm to 10 mm, and the depth of the water guiding groove is 10 mm to 25 mm.

[0055] For example, the width of the water guiding groove may be any one of 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, and 10 mm; the depth of the water guiding groove may be any one of 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, and 25 mm.

[0056] More preferably, the width of the water guiding groove is 4 mm, and the depth of the water guiding groove is 15 mm.

[0057] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, when the mounting portion includes the mounting groove 113 , the water guide channel 114 is connected to the lower portion of the inner peripheral wall of the mounting groove 113 .

[0058] Through the above arrangement, the water collected in the installation groove 113 can be discharged into the water receiving groove 112 through the water guide channel 114 in time.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, when the mounting portion includes the mounting groove 113 , the projection area of ​​the mounting groove 113 on the horizontal plane is larger than the projection area of ​​the plug-in portion 121 on the horizontal plane.

[0060] That is to say, the projection of the plug-in portion 121 on the horizontal plane completely falls into the mounting groove 113 , and the projection area is smaller than the projection area of ​​the mounting groove 113 on the horizontal plane.

[0061] In this embodiment, the above arrangement is more conducive to collecting the water drops flowing down from the column 120, thereby further preventing a large number of water drops from gathering on the upper surface of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112 and flowing to the ground.

[0062] Preferably, there is a gap between the outer peripheral wall of the inserting portion 121 and the inner peripheral wall of the mounting groove 113 .

[0063] Through the above arrangement, the space that can accommodate water in the installation groove 113 can be further increased, which is more conducive to collecting water droplets flowing down from the column 120, thereby further avoiding a large number of water droplets from gathering on the upper surface of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112 and flowing to the ground.

[0064] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the inner peripheral wall of the installation groove 113 is formed with a convex strip 115 extending up and down.

[0065] In this embodiment, the vertically extending convex strips 115 are provided to guide the water droplets to a certain extent, so that the water droplets can flow quickly to the bottom of the installation groove 113 .

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, a snap-fit ​​portion 116 is formed on the mounting groove 113 for snap-fitting with a snap-fitting portion 122 on the plug-in portion 121 .

[0067] Through the above arrangement, the column 120 can be quickly and firmly installed on the vertical air conditioner base 110.

[0068] Specifically, a clamping portion 116 is provided at the bottom of the installation groove 113 , and a clamping fitting portion 122 is provided at the bottom of the inserting portion 121 of the column 120 . The clamping portion 116 is clamped and connected with the clamping fitting portion 122 .

[0069] Further, the clamping portion 116 may be a clamping claw, and the clamping matching portion 122 may be a clamping groove.

[0070] In some other optional embodiments of the present invention, the clamping portion may be a clamping groove, and the clamping fitting portion may be a clamping claw.

[0071] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the plug-in portion 121 is connected to the bottom of the installation groove 113 by bolts.

[0072] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the mounting portion includes a mounting surface, and the column 120 is mounted on the mounting surface. The mounting surface is formed by the upper surface of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112. The water guide channel 114 is a water guide groove with an upper opening, and the bottom of the water guide groove is lower than the mounting surface.

[0073] Specifically, the water guide groove includes a first part and a second part, the first part can be arranged around the mounting surface, the inlet of the second part is connected to the first part, and the outlet of the second part is connected to the water receiving groove. When in use, the first part collects condensed water droplets and discharges the condensed water droplets into the water receiving groove 112 through the second part.

[0074] like Figure 1 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present invention, a convex rib 117 is formed at the bottom of the water receiving groove 112, and the convex rib 117 is arranged to be inclined downward from the edge to the middle of the water receiving groove.

[0075] In this embodiment, the convex rib 117 has two functions: first, it acts as a reinforcing rib to improve the strength of the base body 111, thereby improving the installation stability of the vertical air conditioner 100; second, it acts as a diversion rib. Since the convex rib 117 is tilted downward from the edge to the middle, water droplets can be quickly diverted to the middle position of the water receiving groove 112.

[0076] In some optional embodiments of the present embodiment, the rib 117 is a cross-shaped structure, which has the advantages of being easy to process and having high strength.

[0077] In some optional embodiments of this embodiment, the convex rib 117 is a cross-shaped structure. Alternatively, the convex rib 117 can also be other structures.

[0078] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some optional embodiments of the present embodiment, the base body 111 includes a support portion 118 , and the support portion 118 is disposed on the outer edge of the water receiving tank 112 .

[0079] By providing the support portion 118 on the outer periphery of the water receiving groove 112 , the contact surface between the base body 111 and the ground can be increased, thereby improving the installation stability of the vertical air conditioner 100 .

[0080] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, two mounting parts are provided on the upper part of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112. The two mounting parts are symmetrically distributed.

[0081] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, four mounting parts are provided on the upper part of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112. The four mounting parts are evenly distributed on the upper part of the groove wall 1121 of the water receiving groove 112.

[0082] Specifically, the number of the mounting portions corresponds to the number of the columns 120 one by one, and can be selected according to the number of the columns 120 .

[0083] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cross section of the water receiving tank 112 is circular.

[0084] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cross section of the water receiving tank 112 is elliptical.

[0085] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the cross section of the water receiving tank 112 is a quadrilateral.

[0086] For example, the cross section of the water receiving tank 112 is a square; or, the cross section of the water receiving tank 112 is a rectangle. In alternative embodiments, the cross section of the water receiving tank 112 can also be other shapes.

[0087] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, a liquid level sensor is provided in the water receiving tank 112 for detecting the water level in the water receiving tank 112 .

[0088] The water receiving tank 112 is provided with a drain valve.

[0089] Preferably, a liquid level sensor is provided at the highest end of the water receiving tank. The liquid level sensor is used to detect the maximum amount of condensed water in the water receiving tank. When the water amount exceeds the liquid level sensor at the highest end, the condensed water is at risk of overflowing the water receiving tank. The drain valve corresponding to the water receiving tank can be opened, and the condensed water is discharged from the air conditioner through the drain pipe.

[0090] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model further provides a vertical air conditioner 100, and the vertical air conditioner 100 includes a vertical air conditioner base 110 as described in any one of the above embodiments.

[0091] Specifically, the vertical air conditioner 100 further includes a column 120 , and the column 120 is installed on the vertical air conditioner base 110 through a mounting portion.

[0092] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived from the contents disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
