Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air treatment, in particular to a water receiving tray and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, the water tray used in duct air conditioners mostly adopts a lateral water outlet structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the water receiving tray 20 includes a tray body 21, and a drainage pipe 22 is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the tray body 21. According to the different materials and processes, the water receiving tray is generally divided into two types: a foam water receiving tray and an injection molded water receiving tray, wherein:

[0003] The base of the foam water collecting tray is made of foam material, and a plastic waterproof layer is formed on the surface using a thin film adsorption process, and the drain pipe is connected to the preset drain outlets on the left and right sides of the base by gluing; not only are there problems such as complex processing, long processing time, and high cost, but also to ensure the waterproof effect, the thinnest part of the plastic waterproof layer is required to be no less than 0.7mm thick. However, due to the limitations of the thin film adsorption process and equipment, the plastic waterproof layer generally does not exceed 1mm. Therefore, in order to ensure strength, the thinnest thickness on the base is generally not less than 7mm, which increases the cost of the foam water collecting tray.

[0004] Injection molded water trays require injection molds. On the one hand, the cost of injection molds is high, generally 4-5 times that of foam molds; on the other hand, the processing hours are also high, and the investment and production costs are relatively high.

[0005] In addition, the process of embedding the drain pipe with foam and gluing limits the connection strength of the drain pipe. Especially when the installer entrusts the drain pipe to install the air conditioner indoor unit, the connection position of the drain pipe is prone to breakage, which can easily cause damage to both the personnel and the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0014] The drain port is located on the disk wall portion.

[0015] Optionally, the bottom of the drain port is flush with or lower than the upper surface of the bottom of the dish; or, the bottom of the drain port is higher than and adjacent to the upper surface of the bottom of the dish.

[0019] Optionally, the disk wall of the disk body has at least one second section, and the second section extends along a wave line having at least one wave crest and / or at least one wave trough, so that a mounting groove opening to the disk cavity is defined in the second section, and the drainage port opposite to the notch of the mounting groove is formed on the second section; and

[0020] The inner end of the drain pipe passes through the drain port and is exposed from the slot of the mounting groove, and a baffle portion is integrally formed at the inner end of the drain pipe, and the baffle portion at least blocks the interval space between the outer tube wall of the drain pipe and the slot wall of the mounting groove, so that the accommodating cavity is defined between the baffle portion and the slot wall of the mounting groove.

[0021] Optionally, a step portion is protruded on the bottom of the tray, and the step portion stops at a side of the baffle portion away from the drain outlet.

[0022] Optionally, at least one angled corner is provided on the edge of the bottom of the disk, and a groove is formed on the bottom of the disk on the side adjacent to the corner, and the notch of the groove is located on the edge of the bottom of the disk, so as to cause the disk wall portion between the groove and the corner to define the mounting groove.

The strength of plastic is greater than that of foam, so the wall thickness of the water receiving tray can still ensure the strength of the water receiving tray when it is less than the wall thickness of the foam water receiving tray, further saving processing materials and reducing the production cost of the water receiving tray.

[0027] Furthermore, the accommodating cavity is filled with adhesive material to facilitate the fixing of the drain pipe on the tray body, improve the connection strength between the drain pipe and the tray body, and prevent the drain pipe from breaking at the connection between the drain pipe and the drain port. In addition, the adhesive material in the accommodating cavity makes the drain pipe and the drain port sealed, preventing the water in the water receiving tray from flowing out from the connection between the drain pipe and the drain port, thereby solving the problem of water leakage in the water receiving tray.

In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0041] Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a water receiving tray according to an embodiment of the utility model, with reference to Figures 2 to 7 The embodiment of the utility model provides a water receiving tray 100, including a tray body 10 and a drain pipe 40. The tray body 10 is integrally formed by adsorption molding of a thermoplastic material and defines a tray cavity with an opening upward. A drain port 30 that passes through the inside and outside of the tray cavity is provided on the cavity wall of at least one side of the tray cavity. The drain pipe 40 is inserted into the drain port 30 and communicates with the tray cavity. In addition, an accommodating cavity 60 is defined between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, and an adhesive material is filled in the accommodating cavity 60 to facilitate the drain pipe 40 to be fixed on the tray body 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, when manufacturing the tray body 10, aluminum is first processed into the shape of the water receiving tray 100 to make a water receiving tray 100 mold, and thermoplastic is adsorbed onto the water receiving tray 100 mold. After the thermoplastic is cooled, it is shaped to form the tray body 10 of the water receiving tray 100.

[0043] Compared with the injection molding water tray, the thermoplastic adsorption molding process is simple and convenient, and multiple molds can be used to mold multiple products at one time during production, which can greatly reduce the processing time, improve the processing efficiency, solve the problem of high manufacturing cost of the injection molding water tray, and reduce the production cost of the water tray 100. In addition, the mold cost used in the adsorption molding is relatively low, which further reduces the production cost of the water tray 100.

[0044] Compared with the foam water receiving tray, the plastic water receiving tray 100 can replace the foam layer and the adsorption layer in the foam water receiving tray, and at the same time meet the strength and waterproof requirements of the water receiving tray 100, save processing materials, solve the problem of excessively high manufacturing costs of the foam water receiving tray, and reduce the production cost of the water receiving tray 100. The strength of plastic is greater than the strength of foam, so the wall thickness of the water receiving tray 100 can still ensure the strength of the water receiving tray 100 when it is less than the wall thickness of the foam water receiving tray, further saving processing materials and reducing the production cost of the water receiving tray 100.

[0045] Furthermore, the drain pipe 40 is inserted into the tray body 10 through the drain port 30, and a receiving chamber 60 is defined between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, and an adhesive material is filled in the receiving chamber 60. The adhesive material is filled in the receiving chamber 60 to facilitate the drain pipe 40 to be fixed on the tray body 10, to improve the connection strength between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, and to prevent the drain pipe 40 from breaking at the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the drain port 30. In addition, the adhesive material is in the receiving chamber 60, so that the drain pipe 40 and the drain port 30 are sealed and connected, and the water in the water receiving tray 100 is prevented from flowing out from the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the drain port 30, thereby solving the problem of water leakage in the water receiving tray 100.

[0046] In some embodiments, the drain port 30 is machined on at least one side of the tray body 10 by means of CNC machining.

[0047] In this embodiment, the process of CNC machining is controlled by a computer, which has a high degree of automation, high machining efficiency, and saves machining time. Moreover, the CNC machining method does not require manual control of the tool, reduces errors in machining, and has high machining accuracy.

[0048] In some embodiments, the drain pipe 40 is formed by absorption of a thermoplastic material.

[0049] Since adsorption molding can only perform structural molding in two parallel directions, it is impossible to directly process the drain pipe 40 on the side of the water receiving tray 100, so the drain pipe 40 needs to be processed separately. In this embodiment, the drain pipe 40 is processed by adsorption molding, the processing process is convenient and simple, the processing efficiency is high, the processing time is saved, and the processing cost of the drain pipe 40 is reduced.

[0050] In some embodiments, the drain pipe 40 may also be manufactured by other processing methods, such as a foaming method.

[0051] In some embodiments, the disc has a thickness greater than or equal to 1.5 mm at its thinnest point.

[0052] In this embodiment, a thinner cavity wall thickness can meet the strength requirements of the water receiving tray 100. Compared with the foam water receiving tray 100, the thickness of the water receiving tray 100 is greatly reduced, thereby increasing the capacity of the water receiving tray 100. In other words, for water receiving trays 100 with the same external dimensions, the water receiving tray 100 formed by the adsorption molding process can hold more water. Similarly, if the same volume of water is to be held, the volume of the water receiving tray 100 formed by the adsorption molding process is smaller, which can save space inside the air conditioner, thereby reducing the production cost of the air conditioner.

[0053] In some embodiments, the thickness of the disc is 2 mm.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one side of the accommodating cavity 60 is open, and the other sides are closed. In addition, the bonding material is a glue potting material or a foaming material.

[0055] In this embodiment, the glue potting material can firmly connect various substrates, and has a large tensile strength and strong bonding strength. Moreover, the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 are connected by filling the glue potting material. The glue potting material is evenly distributed in the glue potting cavity, so that the connection part of the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 is more evenly stressed, and no concentrated stress is generated, so that the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 is more stable, and the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 is more secure, so as to avoid the situation that the drain pipe 40 breaks when the installer moves the water receiving tray 100. The glue potting material has good water resistance. The glue potting material can seal the drain port 30, fuse the drain port 30 with the tray body 10, improve the matching strength between the tray body 10 and the drain pipe 40, and prevent the water in the water receiving tray 100 from leaking from the edge of the drain port 30. Moreover, the fixing method of filling the glue cavity with glue material is simple, which can shorten the processing time of the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, thereby shortening the processing time of the water receiving tray 100, improving the processing efficiency of the water receiving tray 100, and reducing the processing cost of the water receiving tray 100.

[0056] The foam material has excellent adhesion and water resistance, and the foam material can firmly bond different materials together. The foam material is filled in the foam cavity between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 to increase the connection strength between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, and to prevent the drain pipe 40 from breaking when the installer moves the water receiving tray 100. Its good water resistance can prevent the moisture generated inside the air conditioner from destroying the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, and ensure a lasting bonding effect. The foam material also has good expandability and strong filling performance, and can be evenly and quickly expanded in the foam cavity, filling and bonding the concave or irregular surface of the surface of the water receiving tray 100. The high expansion performance of the foam material can fill small holes, cracks and gaps, ensure the effective sealing and filling effect of the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, improve the matching strength between the tray body 10 and the drain pipe 40, prevent the water in the water receiving tray 100 from leaking from the edge of the drain port 30, and solve the problem of water leakage in the water receiving tray 100. Moreover, since the space in the foaming cavity is small, the foaming range of the foaming material is small and the foaming time is short, the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 can be completed in a short time, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the water receiving tray 100 and reducing the processing cost of the water receiving tray 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the tray body 10 includes a tray bottom 110 and a tray wall 120, wherein the tray bottom 110 extends horizontally, and the tray wall 120 surrounds the edge of the tray bottom 110 and is exposed from the upper side of the tray bottom 110, so that the tray bottom 110 and the tray wall 120 define a tray cavity. In addition, the drain port 30 is located on the tray wall 120.

[0058] In this embodiment, the dish cavity is enclosed by the dish bottom 110 and the dish wall 120, forming a dish cavity that opens upward. The dish bottom 110 extends horizontally. When the upper heat exchanger surface drips water into the water receiving tray 100, the condensed water at various positions on the heat exchanger surface drops downward to the same height and drips onto the horizontal surface, preventing water from splashing on the tilted dish bottom 110, avoiding corrosion of other parts inside the air conditioner caused by the splashing of condensed water, and keeping the inside of the air conditioner clean and tidy. In addition, the horizontal water receiving tray 100 occupies less space, which can save space inside the air conditioner, thereby reducing the production cost of the air conditioner.

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the drain port 30 is flush with the upper surface of the pan bottom 110 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the bottom of the drain port 30 is flush with the bottom of the pan 110. After the condensed water on the surface of the heat exchanger drips onto the water receiving pan 100, it flows directly to the outside through the drain port 30 connected to the pan cavity, thereby preventing the water in the water receiving pan 100 from being stored in the water receiving pan 100 and causing bacteria to grow.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bottom of the drain port 30 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the pan bottom 110 .

[0062] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner is working, water on the surface of the heat exchanger drips into the water receiving tray 100 below, and the water in the water receiving tray 100 flows to the drain port 30 at the lower position, and the condensed water is more easily discharged from the drain port 30. The bottom of the drain port 30 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the bottom 110 of the tray, so as to avoid water accumulation in the water receiving tray 100, thereby preventing bacteria from breeding and affecting the health of users, and improving the user experience.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the drain port 30 is higher than and adjacent to the upper surface of the pan bottom 110 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the bottom of the drain port 30 may be slightly higher or lower than the upper surface of the tray bottom 110 , so that the condensed water can flow out of the drain port 30 after gathering to a certain height or dripping into the water receiving tray 100 .

[0065] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wall of the tray body 10 has at least one first section, and a drain port 30 is defined on the first section. The tray body 10 also defines at least one mounting groove 50, and the inner end of the drain pipe 40 passes through the drain port 30 and is exposed from the groove of the mounting groove 50, and a baffle portion 70 opposite to the first section is formed at the inner end of the drain pipe 40. And, a first wall portion and a second wall portion spaced apart from each other are provided between the baffle portion 70 and the first section, so that a receiving chamber 60 is defined between the first wall portion, the second wall portion, the baffle portion 70 and the first section. And, at least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is integrally formed on the first section.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first section, the first wall portion, the second wall portion and the baffle portion 70 form the mounting groove 50, and the area enclosed in the middle is the accommodating cavity 60. The first section is a wall surface with a drain port 30. At least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is integrally formed on the first section, which reduces the difficulty of processing the mounting groove 50, facilitates the processing of the mounting groove 50, and further reduces the processing cost of the water receiving tray 100. For example, the first wall portion is integrally formed on the first section. Alternatively, the second wall portion is integrally formed on the first section. Alternatively, both the first wall portion and the second wall portion are integrally formed on the first section.

[0067] In some embodiments, at least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is integrally formed on the baffle portion 70 .

[0068] In this embodiment, at least one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is integrally formed on the baffle portion 70, which reduces the difficulty of processing the mounting groove 50, facilitates the processing of the mounting groove 50, and further reduces the processing cost of the water receiving tray 100. For example, the first wall portion is integrally formed on the baffle portion 70. Alternatively, the second wall portion is integrally formed on the baffle portion 70. Alternatively, both the first wall portion and the second wall portion are integrally formed on the baffle portion 70.

[0069] In some embodiments, the first wall portion and the second wall portion are integrally formed.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first wall portion and the second wall portion are integrally formed, which reduces the difficulty of processing the installation groove 50 , facilitates the processing of the installation groove 50 , and further reduces the processing cost of the water receiving tray 100 .

[0071] In some embodiments, the first wall portion and the second wall portion are arranged relatively independently.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first wall portion and the first section are two side walls of the water receiving tray 100 , and the second wall portion is integrally formed on the baffle portion 70 .

[0073] In this embodiment, the baffle portion 70 is formed integrally with the second wall portion, that is, an L-shaped plate is formed. The two ends of the L-shaped plate cooperate with the two side walls of the water receiving tray 100 to define the accommodating cavity 60, that is, the two ends of the L-shaped plate cooperate with the first wall portion and the first section to define the accommodating cavity 60. The arrangement of the baffle portion 70 being formed integrally with the second wall portion can enhance the stability of the connection between the baffle portion 70 and the water receiving tray 100, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the water receiving tray 100. In addition, the processing method of forming the baffle portion 70 integrally with the second wall portion can reduce the processing difficulty of the water receiving tray 100, facilitate the processing of the water receiving tray 100, and reduce the processing cost of the water receiving tray 100.

[0074] In some embodiments, the wall of the tray body 10 has at least one second section, and the second section extends along a wave line having at least one wave crest, so that a mounting groove 50 opening to the tray cavity is defined in the second section, and a drain port 30 opposite to the notch of the mounting groove 50 is formed on the second section. In addition, the inner end of the drain pipe 40 passes through the drain port 30 and is exposed from the notch of the mounting groove 50, and a baffle portion 70 is integrally formed at the inner end of the drain pipe 40, and the baffle portion 70 at least blocks the interval between the outer tube wall of the drain pipe 40 and the groove wall of the mounting groove, so that a receiving cavity 60 is defined between the baffle portion 70 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 50.

[0075] In this embodiment, the crest portion of the second section defines an installation groove 50, the drain pipe 40 passes through the drain outlet 30, the inner end of the drain pipe 40 is integrally formed with the baffle portion 70, the baffle portion 70 blocks the groove, and a accommodating cavity 60 is formed between the drain pipe 40, the baffle portion 70 and the groove wall of the installation groove 50.

[0076] In some embodiments, the second section extends along a wave line having at least one trough, so that a mounting groove 50 opening to the dish cavity is defined in the second section, and a drain port 30 is formed on the second section opposite to the notch of the mounting groove 50. In this embodiment, the portion of the side wall of the dish body 10 adjacent to the trough defines the mounting groove 50.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second section extends along a wave line having at least one wave crest and at least one wave trough, so that a mounting groove 50 opening to the disc cavity is defined in the second section, and a drainage port 30 opposite to the notch of the mounting groove 50 is formed on the second section.

[0078] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a step portion 80 is protruded on the bottom 110 of the tray, and the step portion 80 is stopped at a side of the baffle portion 70 away from the drain port 30 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the step portion 80 is located on the inner side of the baffle portion 70, and the step portion 80 and the glue filling material or foaming material filled in the accommodating cavity 60 clamp the baffle portion 70 to prevent the baffle portion 70 from moving to the inner side of the water receiving tray 100, so that the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 is more stable. The stable connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10 can prevent the drain pipe 40 from loosening and causing the water in the water receiving tray 100 to leak from the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10, thereby preventing the condensed water from seeping and causing corrosion of other components in the air conditioner. In addition, the step portion 80 can also play a positioning role and control the installation position of the drain pipe 40. It is easier to determine the installation position of the drain pipe 40 when installing the drain pipe 40 or installing the drain pipe 40 after maintenance, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the water receiving tray 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the step portion 80 includes two bosses, and the two bosses are in contact with the groove walls on both sides of the installation groove 50.

[0081] In this embodiment, two adjacent side walls of the boss are in contact with the groove wall of the mounting groove 50 and the baffle portion 70 respectively, and the contact structure of the baffle portion 70, the boss and the groove wall of the mounting groove 50 is compact, thereby preventing water in the water receiving tray 100 from passing through the gap between the baffle portion 70 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 50, thereby preventing the water receiving tray 100 from leaking.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 4As shown, at least one angled corner portion 90 is provided on the edge of the disk bottom 110, and a groove is formed on the disk bottom 110 on the side adjacent to the corner portion 90, and the notch of the groove is located on the edge of the disk bottom 110, so that the disk wall portion 120 between the groove and the corner portion 90 defines a mounting groove 50.

[0083] In this embodiment, the mounting groove 50 is located at the corner of the water receiving tray 100. The corner portion 90, the mounting groove 50 and the groove are arranged in sequence at the edge of the water receiving tray 100. The corner portion 90 is formed at the corner of the water receiving tray 100, one wall surface of the corner portion 90 is the wall surface of the mounting groove 50, and a wall surface shared by the mounting groove 50 and the groove is another wall surface of the mounting groove 50. The mounting groove 50 is formed by the enclosure of the groove of the tray wall portion 120, which is convenient for integral molding during adsorption molding, more convenient in the production of the tray body 10, improving production efficiency, saving production time, and thus reducing the production cost of the water receiving tray 100.

[0084] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the installation groove 50 is located on the left side of the tray body 10, and the notch of the installation groove 50 faces the right side. The drain pipe 40 is installed on the left side of the water receiving tray 100, and the water in the water receiving tray 100 is discharged from the left side.

[0085] In some embodiments, the installation groove 50 may also be located on the right side of the tray body 10, with the notch of the installation groove 50 facing the left side, the drain pipe 40 is installed on the right side of the water receiving tray 100, and the water in the water receiving tray 100 is discharged from the right side.

[0086] In some embodiments, the water tray 100 includes two mounting grooves 50, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the tray body 10. Two drain ports 30 are provided on the water tray 100 to drain the water in the water tray 100 as quickly as possible, thereby preventing the accumulation of water in the water tray 100 and causing bacteria to grow, thereby preventing the health of the user from being affected and improving the user's experience.

[0087] In some preferred embodiments of the utility model, the tray body 10 is formed by thermoplastic material by adsorption, and the thickness of the tray body 10 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm. The tray body 10 includes a tray bottom 110 and a tray wall 120, and the tray wall 120 defines a mounting groove 50. The mounting groove 50 is located at a corner of the tray body 10, and a drain outlet 30 is opened on the bottom of the mounting groove 50, i.e., the tray wall 120, by using CNC machining technology. The drain pipe 40 is formed by thermoplastic material by adsorption, and the inner end of the drain pipe 40 is integrally formed with a baffle portion 70. After the drain pipe 40 is inserted into the drain outlet 30, the baffle portion 70 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 50 form a closed space. The closed space is filled with glue material to seal the drain pipe 40 and the tray body 10.

[0088] In this embodiment, the tray body 10 and the drain pipe 40 are integrally formed by thermoplastic adsorption, and the processing method is simple and convenient, the processing efficiency is high, and the processing time is saved, which can solve the problem of high processing cost of the water tray 100 and reduce the production cost of the water tray 100. While ensuring the strength of the water tray 100, the thickness of the water tray 100 is reduced, the use of production materials is saved, and the internal space of the air conditioner can be saved, further reducing the production cost of the water tray 100 and the air conditioner.

[0089] Furthermore, the dish body 10 and the drain pipe 40 are condensed by filling the glue material, so that the connection between the drain pipe 40 and the dish body 10 is more firmly established, and the drain pipe 40 is prevented from breaking when the installer moves the water tray 100. The glue material can seal the drain port 30, and fuse the drain port 30 with the dish body 10, thereby improving the matching strength between the dish body 10 and the drain pipe 40, solving the problem of water leakage at the connection between the dish body 10 and the drain pipe 40, preventing the water in the water tray 100 from leaking from the edge of the drain port 30, and preventing the condensed water from seeping and causing corrosion of other parts in the air conditioner.

[0090] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, including a body and a water receiving tray 100. The body defines a heat exchange air duct, and a heat exchanger is arranged in the heat exchange air duct. The water receiving tray 100 is the water receiving tray 100 in any of the above embodiments, and the water receiving tray 100 is configured to receive water dripping from the heat exchanger.

[0091] In this embodiment, the water receiving pan 100 is installed at the lower part of the heat exchanger. When the air conditioner is working, condensed water is generated on the surface of the heat exchanger. The condensed water gathers on the surface of the heat exchanger and drips into the water receiving pan 100 below, and is discharged through the drain pipe 40 connected to the pan body 10. The water receiving pan 100 is processed by thermoplastic adsorption molding, which is simple and convenient, with high processing efficiency, and reduces the processing cost of the water receiving pan 100. In addition, the thickness of the water receiving pan 100 is reduced, and when the water receiving pan 100 is installed, the internal space of the air conditioner can be saved, further reducing the production cost of the air conditioner.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water receiving tray 100 is located below the heat exchanger, and the projection of the heat exchanger on the horizontal plane is located in the water receiving tray 100 .

[0093] In this embodiment, the projection of the heat exchanger on the horizontal plane is in the water receiving tray 100, so that the condensed water on the surface of the heat exchanger can all drip into the water receiving tray 100 when it drops downward, preventing the condensed water from dripping outside the water receiving tray 100 and causing corrosion to other components inside the air conditioner.

[0094] In some embodiments, the air conditioner is a ducted air conditioner.

[0095] Duct air conditioner is the abbreviation of duct air conditioner. It is a type of central air conditioner. Compared with general central air conditioners, duct air conditioners are relatively cheap, but the effect is not worse than central air conditioners. Moreover, it adopts hidden installation, which will not affect the beauty of the room. In addition, duct air conditioners are more convenient to maintain because of their simple structure.

[0096] The duct unit includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. An outdoor unit is connected to an indoor unit through a pipe. The indoor unit blows the heat exchange air directly to each room through the duct. When working, the duct unit realizes cooling or heating of the air through the refrigeration cycle or heating cycle of the outdoor unit. In the refrigeration cycle, the outdoor unit compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas through the compressor, and then releases the heat through the condenser, turning the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid. The refrigerant is then expanded into a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid through the expansion valve, absorbing the heat of the indoor air and making the indoor air cool. In the heating cycle, the outdoor unit releases the heat of the refrigerant into the room by working in reverse, thereby realizing heating.

[0097] The duct unit sends hot and cold air into the duct system through the indoor unit, and then transports it to different rooms or areas through the duct system. The indoor unit includes a fan and a heat exchanger, which can send the hot and cold air sent from the outdoor unit into the duct system through the fan, and then transport it to different rooms or areas through the duct. The indoor unit will also absorb indoor air and exchange heat with the refrigerant to achieve cooling or heating of the indoor air.

[0098] The duct unit delivers hot and cold air to different rooms or areas through the duct system. The duct system includes supply and return air channels. The supply air channel delivers hot and cold air from the indoor unit to different rooms or areas, and the return air channel delivers the air in the room back to the indoor unit through the return air outlet for further processing.

[0099] Duct units usually also include temperature sensors and wind speed controllers, which can control the temperature and wind speed of different rooms or areas by controlling the operation of the outdoor and indoor units according to the temperature and wind speed requirements set by the user. Duct units can achieve independent temperature control in different rooms or areas to provide a comfortable indoor environment.

[0100] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may also be used in other air conditioners, such as a floor-standing air conditioner or a wall-mounted air conditioner, etc.

[0101] 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.
