[0030] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0031] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 5 An air-conditioning indoor unit 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described.
[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the first embodiment of the utility model includes: an electrical component 10 and a water receiving tray 30.
[0033] Specifically, the electrical component 10 is connected to the wiring harness 20, which includes a bending section 21. The water receiving tray 30 is arranged on the lower side of the electrical component 10. The water receiving tray 30 forms a water receiving cavity 31 with an upper end opening. A raised supporting portion 32 is provided on the side wall of the water receiving cavity 31. The bending section 21 is arranged in the water receiving cavity 31. At least part of the bending section 21 is supported by the supporting portion 32 so that the bending section 21 is separated from the side wall of the water receiving cavity 31 by the supporting portion 32.
[0034] During the operation of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, condensed water generated in the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 will fall into the water receiving cavity 31 of the water receiving tray 30. Under the guidance of the water receiving tray 30, the condensed water can be discharged from the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 can operate normally.
[0035] It can be understood that when condensed water contacts the wiring harness 20, the condensed water may flow along the wiring harness 20. In the present embodiment, by providing a bending section 21, the bending section 21 bends downward and extends into the water receiving chamber 31. When the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 31 contacts the bending section 21, under the action of gravity, the condensed water can flow into the water receiving chamber 31 along the bending section 21, thereby reducing the probability of the condensed water flowing along the wiring harness 20 and affecting the components in the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.
[0036] When the bending section 21 is close to the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, a slit can be formed between the bending section 21 and the water receiving chamber 31. When condensed water enters the slit, the condensed water can fill the slit under the action of the condensed water tension, and the condensed water can flow in the slit. In this way, when a siphon phenomenon occurs on both sides of the side walls of the water receiving chamber 31, the condensed water in the water receiving chamber 31 can flow out of the water receiving tray 30 along the slit, thereby affecting the reliability of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.
[0037] In this embodiment, by providing a raised support portion 32 on the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, the bending section 21 can be separated from the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31. In this way, there will be a larger gap between the bending section 21 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, and the probability of condensed water filling the side wall of the bending section 21 and the water receiving chamber 31 and flowing along the gap between the bending section 21 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 is low, thereby reducing the probability of condensed water flowing out of the water receiving chamber 31 from between the bending section 21 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 through siphon action.
[0038] According to the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the first aspect of the embodiment of the utility model, by providing the support portion 32 to separate the bending section 21 from the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, the probability of condensed water flowing out of the water receiving chamber 31 from between the bending section 21 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 through the siphon effect can be reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 during operation.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, the connection between the side surface of the support portion 32 away from the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 and the upper side surface of the support portion 32 is the first edge 321, and the bent section 21 is supported on the first edge 321. In this way, when the bent section 21 contacts the first edge 321, the gap between the lower end of the bent section 21 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 or the support portion 32 will be larger, making it difficult for condensed water to fill the gap between the lower end of the bent section 21 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 or the support portion 32, thereby further reducing the probability of condensed water flowing out of the water receiving chamber 31, and further improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 during operation.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5As shown, the first edge 321 is lower than the edge of the opening of the water receiving chamber 31. It can be understood that, compared with the gap between the bending section 21 and the first edge 321, the gap between the bending section 21 and the first side wall 311 on the upper side of the first edge 321 will suddenly increase. When the condensed water flows between the bending section 21 and the first edge 321 and continues to flow upward, the gap between the bending section 21 and the first side wall 311 suddenly increases, which makes it difficult for the condensed water to fill the gap between the bending section 21 and the first side wall 311, thereby making it difficult for the condensed water to flow out from the gap between the bending section 21 and the first side wall 311 on the upper side of the first edge 321, thereby further reducing the probability of the condensed water flowing out of the water receiving chamber 31, and further improving the reliability of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 during operation.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the support portion 32 extends to the bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 31. It is understandable that when the wire harness 20 overlaps the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, a force will be generated on the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, and during the operation of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, the wire harness 20 will inevitably vibrate, thereby knocking the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31. By extending the support portion 32 to the bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 31, the support portion 32 has a larger coverage area on the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, which can improve the strength of the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31, thereby further improving the reliability of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 during operation.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water receiving chamber 31 has a first side wall 311 and a second side wall 312 that are connected and arranged at an angle, and the support portion 32 is disposed between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312. In other words, the support portion 32 is disposed at the corner of the water receiving chamber 31, that is, the wire harness 20 is disposed at the corner of the water receiving chamber 31, so that the probability of the wire harness 20 blocking the air outlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be reduced.
[0043] It is understandable that during the operation of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100, as the wiring harness 20 vibrates, the position of the wiring harness 20 may change, and the bending section 21 may contact both the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, that is, the bending section 21 may contact one of the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, and the bending section 21 may also contact the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312 at the same time. The support portion 32 is arranged between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, and the support portion 32 can separate the bending section 21 from the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312. Thereby, the probability of condensation water flowing out of the water receiving chamber 31 can be further reduced, thereby further improving the reliability of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 during operation.
[0044] In addition, the support portion 32 is connected between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312, which can improve the strength of the connection between the first side wall 311 and the second side wall 312 and the rigidity of the water receiving tray 30, thereby improving the stability of the water receiving tray 30 during operation of the air conditioning indoor unit 100.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the support portion 32 includes a first support segment 322 and a second support segment 323, the first support segment 322 and the second support segment 323 are connected in an arc, the first support segment 322 is arranged on the first side wall 311, and the second support segment 323 is arranged on the second side wall 312. In this way, the spacing between the first support segment 322 and the second support segment 323 and the side wall of the water receiving chamber 31 is relatively uniform, and in the process of product design, it is easier to make the support of the support portion 32 on the bending segment 21 meet the use requirements, thereby reducing the difficulty of product design.
[0046] The first support section 322 and the second support section 323 are connected in an arc shape, so that the bending section 21 can slide more smoothly on the support portion 32 , thereby reducing the probability of the support portion 32 damaging the wiring harness 20 .
[0047] During product design, parameters such as the size of the first support segment 322, the size of the second support segment 323, or the relative angle between the first support segment 322 and the second support segment 323 may be adjusted to meet more product design requirements.
[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bending section 21 includes a first section 211 and a second section 212, one end of the first section 211 is connected to the electrical component 10 and the other end extends downward, one end of the second section 212 is connected to the other end of the first section 211, and the other end of the second section 212 extends upward and away from the first section 211 at an angle, and at least part of the second section 212 is supported on the support portion 32.
[0049] In this way, the arrangement of the bending section 21 can be realized. When the condensed water falls on the bending section 21 during the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the condensed water will flow downward along the first section 211 and the second section 212 under the action of gravity and drip into the water receiving chamber 31, thereby reducing the probability that the condensed water flows through the wire harness 20 and affects the air conditioner indoor unit 100.
[0050] During the product design process, the size of the first section 211, the size of the second section 212, or the relative angle between the first section 211 and the second section 212 may be adjusted to meet more product design requirements.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes: an evaporator bracket 40, the electrical component 10 is fixed on the evaporator bracket 40, a buckle 42 is provided on the evaporator bracket 40, and the bending section 21 is fixed on the evaporator bracket 40 through the buckle 42. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that during the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the air flow blows through the evaporator 41 and exchanges heat with the evaporator 41, and the air flow after heat exchange is blown into the outdoors to achieve temperature adjustment. The evaporator bracket 40 is usually arranged at the end of the evaporator 41, so that the evaporator bracket 40 can reduce the shielding of the heat exchange air flow. By fixing the bending section 21 on the evaporator bracket 40, the influence of the wire harness 20 on the heat exchange air flow can be reduced, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the air conditioner indoor unit 100. Among them, the connection operation of the wire harness 20 and the buckle 42 is relatively convenient, and the buckle 42 has a high fixing reliability on the wire harness 20.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrical component 10 is a sterilization element. The sterilization element can sterilize the internal environment of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, so that the air output of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is healthier. Preferably, the sterilization element is a pulse sterilization element, which has high sterilization efficiency and is easy to arrange.
[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 further includes: a chassis 50 and an evaporator 41, the evaporator 41 is fixed to the chassis 50 through the evaporator bracket 40, the water receiving tray 30 is arranged on the chassis 50 and is located at the lower side of the evaporator 41, and the electrical component 10 is fixed on the evaporator bracket 40. During the operation of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the air flow blows through the evaporator 41 and exchanges heat with the evaporator 41, which will reduce the air flow temperature. In this way, condensed water is easily generated on the evaporator 41 and the evaporator bracket 40. The water receiving tray 30 arranged at the lower side of the evaporator 41 can collect the condensed water on the evaporator 41 and the evaporator bracket 40, and discharge the condensed water from the air conditioner indoor unit 100, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can work normally.

[0055] According to the air conditioner of the second embodiment of the utility model, the reliability of the air conditioner can be improved by providing the air conditioner indoor unit 100 according to the first embodiment of the utility model.
