Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of evaporators, in particular to a condensed water collecting device and an air-conditioning evaporator equipped with the device. Background Art
[0002] The air conditioner evaporator is a refrigeration device in the air conditioner. The structure of the existing evaporator can refer to the Chinese patent with the announcement number CN215490443U, which discloses a car air conditioner evaporator shell structure. The structure includes an evaporator body. A water storage tank is arranged below the evaporator body. The opening of the water storage tank is directly opposite to the bottom of the evaporator body. When the evaporator is working, it cools by the principle of liquid vaporization and heat absorption. At this time, the evaporator body will condense water due to rapid cooling. The water storage tank can collect the condensed water flowing down from the surface of the evaporator body.
[0003] The water in the water tank will increase as the evaporator is used for a period of time. When the above-mentioned air-conditioning evaporator is used in a car air-conditioner, the car will be bumpy when driving, which will cause the water in the water tank to splash out from the opening of the water tank. It may splash into the air conditioner or directly fly out from the air outlet of the air conditioner, thereby affecting the normal use experience of the air conditioner. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in the condensation water collection device on the existing evaporator. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the disadvantage that the existing evaporator may cause water in the condensation water collection device to splash outward due to the bumps generated when the car is driving, thereby affecting the normal use experience of the air conditioner, the first purpose of the utility model is to provide a condensation water collection device that can reduce the splashing of water due to the bumps of the car body.
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model is solved by the following technical solutions:
[0006] A condensed water collection device comprises a water tank with an opening, a guide piece is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the water tank, a collecting port is reserved between the end of the guide piece and the water tank for water to fall into the water tank, and a shielding piece is arranged on the water tank for shielding the collecting port to prevent water from splashing out.
[0007] By adopting the above scheme, when the evaporator is working, the condensed water can flow into the water storage tank from the collecting port along the guide member. When the water splashes outward, it will be blocked by the guide member, and a shielding member is provided at the collecting port to further prevent the water from splashing outward from here. Compared with the existing evaporator, when the car is bumpy during driving, the condensed water collection device can effectively prevent the water from splashing outward due to the bump, and can maintain a good user experience of the air conditioner.
[0008] Preferably, the shielding member comprises a baffle fixed on the water tank and capable of shielding the collecting port.
[0009] Preferably, the baffle is arranged to be tilted downward and staggered with the guide member.
[0010] With the above solution, the inclined setting of the baffle can also guide the flow of condensed water. The staggered setting of the baffle and the guide piece can completely cover the collection port, further reducing the probability of water splashing out of the water tank.
[0011] Preferably, the guide member is arranged to be inclined downward, and one end of the guide member close to the opening extends and protrudes from the side wall of the water tank, and the other end forms a collecting port with the water tank.
[0012] Preferably, the end surface of the guide member facing the collecting port is a downwardly concave arc surface, one end of the guide member close to the opening protrudes from the side wall of the water tank, and the other end forms a collecting port with the water tank.
[0013] Preferably, the cross section of the guide member is a triangle or an inverted V-shape with the tip facing upward, and the two sides of the guide member are fixed to the side walls of the water tank, and the two ends form a collecting port with the water tank.
[0014] Preferably, the cross section of the flow guide is dome-shaped or arch-shaped, and two sides of the flow guide are fixed to the side walls of the water tank, with both ends forming a collecting port with the water tank.
[0015] Preferably, a filtering structure is provided at the collecting port.
[0016] Preferably, the filtering structure includes a movable frame and a filter net arranged in the movable frame. An insertion port for inserting the movable frame is provided on the side wall of the water tank, and a groove for the end of the movable frame to be inserted into and overlapped is provided on the inner wall of the water tank opposite to the insertion port.
[0017] When adopting the above scheme, the condensed water may carry some dust or impurities when flowing down from the evaporator, and may adhere to the inner wall of the water tank if it flows directly into the water tank. However, the collection port of the water tank in this scheme is blocked by the guide member and the baffle, and the inside of the water tank cannot be directly cleaned. Therefore, this scheme provides a filter component at the collection port to prevent dust or impurities from entering the water tank as much as possible, and the filter component can be removed from the water tank for cleaning, which is very convenient to use.
[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical scheme, the utility model has significant technical effects: when the evaporator is working, the condensed water can flow into the water storage tank from the collecting port along the guide member, and the water will be blocked by the guide member when splashing outwards, and a shielding member is provided at the collecting port to further prevent the water from splashing outwards from here. Compared with the existing evaporator, when the car is bumpy during driving, the condensed water collection device can effectively prevent the water from splashing outwards due to the bumps, and can maintain a good user experience of the air conditioner.
