Fig.10 and Fig.13, the upper end of the lower side plate 31 is bent inward to form the fifth bending portion 31, the end of the fifth bending portion 32 is bent upward to form the sixth bending portion 32, and the sixth bending portion 32 is parallel to the first bending portion 111, and the side wall of the sixth bending portion 32 is attached to the side wall of the first bending portion 111. At the same time, the upper edge of the first bending portion 111 is higher than the upper edge of the fourth bending portion 23 and the sixth bending portion 32, and it supports the fourth bending portion 23 and the sixth bending portion; a waterproof structure is formed between the outer side of the horizontal partition and the lower end of the upper side plate and the upper end of the lower side plate. Specifically, a waterproof structure is formed between the first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth bending portions to prevent external water vapor from entering the interior, ensure stable and reliable operation of the air conditioner, and extend the overall service life.

[0041] In the present application, in order to facilitate processing and assembly, the second bending portion 21 is parallel to the fourth bending portion 23 and the fifth bending portion 31 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the bending angles of the second bending portion 21 , the third bending portion 22 and the fourth bending portion 23 are all 90 degrees. Meanwhile, the bending angles of the fifth bending portion 31 and the sixth bending portion 32 are all 90 degrees.

[0043] Specifically, the edge of the horizontal partition 11 is bent upward by 90 degrees to form a first bending portion 111; the lower end of the upper side plate 2 is bent inward by 90 degrees to form a second bending portion 21, the end of the second bending portion 21 is bent upward by 90 degrees to form a third bending portion 22, the end of the third bending portion 22 is bent inward by 90 degrees to form a fourth bending portion 23, and the end of the fourth bending portion 23 is in contact with the outer wall of the first bending portion 111; the upper end of the lower side plate 31 is bent inward by 90 degrees to form a fifth bending portion 31, the end of the fifth bending portion 32 is bent upward by 90 degrees to form a sixth bending portion 32, and the sixth bending portion 32 is parallel to the first bending portion 111, and its side wall is attached to the side wall of the first bending portion 111.

[0044] The whole forms a waterproof structure.

[0045] See also Figure 1-Figure 7An evaporator 4 and a fan 6 are arranged in the upper chamber. At the same time, an air inlet hole 101 is opened on the side wall of the upper chamber. The air inlet hole 101 is used to exchange heat with the evaporator 4. Specifically, the fan generates suction to form a negative pressure in the upper chamber. Under the action of the negative pressure, the external air enters the upper chamber through the air inlet hole and exchanges heat with the evaporator. The evaporator is arranged between the air inlet hole and the fan. A water receiving pan 12 is arranged at the lower end of the evaporator 4. The water receiving pan 12 is arranged obliquely. A drainage hole is opened at the lower end (the lowest end of the inclined end) of the water receiving pan 12. Hole 120 is used for draining condensed water; there is a gap between the lower end of the evaporator 4 and the water receiving tray 12, which forms a lower water chamber. A wind blocking plate 5 is fittedly installed at the lower end of the evaporator 4, and the edge of the wind blocking plate 5 is sealed with the inner wall of the shell 1, blocking the direct connection between the lower water chamber and the air inlet, so that an air duct cannot be formed between the lower water chamber and the air inlet and airflow cannot be generated, that is, the condensed water at the lower end of the evaporator cannot flow toward the fan under the action of wind pressure, thereby ensuring the stable discharge of the condensed water. At the same time, it is prevented that the condensed water enters the fan and affects the life of the fan.

[0046] The above-mentioned air duct refers to the airflow formed in the lower water cavity. The direct reason for its formation is that the lower water cavity is located between the air inlet and the air inlet end of the fan, and the three are basically located in the same straight line. When the two ends of the lower water cavity are open, the wind will pass through the lower water cavity and enter the air inlet end of the fan, thereby generating airflow and forming an air duct, so that the condensed water at the lower end of the evaporator flows toward the fan under the action of wind. By setting a wind blocking plate, the air inlet end or the air outlet end at the front end of the lower water cavity is blocked, or the air inlet end and the air outlet end are blocked at the same time, so that airflow cannot be formed in the lower water cavity.

[0047] In the present application, the edge of the air blocking plate 5 is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the shell with an air inlet hole, that is, when an air inlet hole is opened on a side wall of the shell, the edge of the air blocking plate corresponding to the side wall is sealed and connected to the side wall. For example, if an air inlet hole is opened at the front end of the shell, the front edge of the air blocking plate is sealed and connected to the front inner wall of the shell; or if an air inlet hole is opened at the left end of the shell, the left edge of the air blocking plate is sealed and connected to the front inner wall of the shell; or if both the front end and the left side wall of the shell are opened with air inlet holes 101, the front end and left edge of the air blocking plate are sealed and connected to the front end and left side wall respectively.

[0048] In order to improve the connection reliability and sealing, in this embodiment, the edge of the wind blocking plate 5 is bent upward to form a connecting portion, which can fit the inner wall of the shell 1 and achieve a sealed connection, and can be fixed by welding.

[0049] In the present application, the upper chamber includes a left chamber and a right chamber, the evaporator 4 is installed in the left chamber, at least one side wall of the left chamber is provided with an air inlet hole, and the fan 6 is arranged in the right chamber. When the fan is working, the wind entering from the air inlet hole enters the left chamber and is discharged through the fan after heat exchange through the evaporator; the evaporator 4 includes a first evaporator body 41 parallel to the front end and / or rear end side walls of the shell, and the first evaporator body 41 is close to the front end and / or rear end side walls of the shell, and accordingly, an air inlet hole is provided at the front end and / or rear end of the shell 1, and a first wind blocking plate is fittedly installed at the lower end of the first evaporator body 41 51. The (front and / or rear) edges of the first air baffle 5 are sealed to the inner walls of the front and / or rear ends of the shell 1 to avoid the formation of an air duct. At the same time, the length direction of the first evaporator and the length direction of the lower water chamber are parallel to the entry direction. Therefore, the head or tail of the lower water chamber is sealed, or the front and rear ends of the lower water chamber are sealed at the same time. In this embodiment, the head (air inlet end) of the first air baffle is sealed to the inner wall of the shell to achieve the front end sealing of the lower water chamber. A baffle is provided at the tail of the lower water chamber. The baffle can be set independently or formed by bending the first air baffle downward.

[0050] At the same time, the evaporator 4 can also include a second evaporator body 42, which is parallel to and close to the left side wall of the shell 1. Accordingly, an air inlet hole is opened on the left side wall of the shell 1, and a second wind baffle plate 52 is installed at the lower end of the second evaporator body 42, and the left side edge of the second wind baffle plate 52 is sealed and connected to the left side wall.

[0051] The following is a description of a preferred embodiment:

[0052] A water receiving pan 12 is installed on the upper surface of the horizontal partition 11. The water receiving pan 12 is inclined, and a drainage hole is opened at the lower end of the water receiving pan 12, that is, the drainage hole is opened at the inclined lower end of the water receiving pan. The water receiving pan 12 is inclined and has an inclination to form a slope, which can guide water to the drainage hole and discharge it; an air baffle plate 5 is installed on the water receiving pan 12. The air baffle plate 5 is horizontally arranged and has a plate-like structure. The drainage hole is located directly below the air baffle plate 5. The air baffle plate 5 is fitted and installed at the lower end of the cooler. In the present application, the cross-sectional shape of the air baffle plate 5 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the evaporator 4. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the air baffle plate 5 and the cross-sectional shape of the evaporator 4 are both L-shaped, and it is arranged at the corner of the upper cavity.

[0053] It includes a first evaporator body 41 attached to the front end surface and a second evaporator body 42 attached to the left side. The first evaporator body and the second evaporator body form an L-shaped evaporator through an arc-shaped connecting section 43. At the same time, air inlet holes are opened on the front side wall and the left side plate of the shell.

[0054] See also Figure 7The wind blocking plate 5 is formed by stamping, and includes a first plate body 51 having the same shape as the first evaporator body (including the connecting section), and a second plate body 52 having the same shape as the second evaporator body. The first plate body is fitted on the lower surface of the first evaporator body, and the second plate body is fitted on the lower surface of the second evaporator body. A plurality of water outlet holes 50 are provided on the first plate body 51. The outer edge of the first plate body 51 (close to one end of the inner wall of the shell) is bent upward by 90 degrees to form a connecting portion. Specifically, the front end of the first plate body 51 and The left edge is bent upward to form a first connection portion 511 and a second connection portion 512, which are respectively used to be sealed and connected to the front inner wall and the left inner wall. At the same time, a baffle 53 is provided at the right end of the first plate body 51 to block the tail end of the lower water chamber. The upper end of the baffle 53 extends upward and serves as a bracket for installing the evaporator. At the same time, another bracket 54 is provided on the first plate body for fixing the evaporator. The inner edge of the first plate body (the end facing away from the inner wall of the shell) is bent downward to form a support portion 513, which is used to connect to the water receiving The upper surface of the plate 12 is in contact with the plate 12 to achieve support. In order to increase the supporting force and avoid deformation, the inner edge of the plate is bent downward by 90 degrees, which can avoid the generation of a force arm and increase the supporting force. In this embodiment, the inner edge of the first plate 51 is formed with a plurality of rectangular protrusions by stamping, and the protrusions are bent downward to form a supporting portion 512; the left edge of the second plate 52 is bent upward by 90 degrees to form a third connecting portion 521, and the third connecting portion is connected to the inner wall of the side wall of the shell to achieve sealing. The inner side of the second plate The side edge (the end facing away from the inner wall of the shell) is bent downward to form a support portion 523, which is used to contact the upper surface of the water receiving tray 12 to achieve support. In order to increase the supporting force and avoid deformation, the inner edge of the plate body is bent downward by 90 degrees, which can avoid the generation of a force arm and increase the supporting force. Since the length direction of the second evaporator body is perpendicular to the air inlet direction of the fan and it is far away from the fan, the air duct distance that can be formed at the lower end is very short. Therefore, the length of the second plate body can be 20%-100% of the length of the second evaporator body.

[0055] The utility model discloses a waterproof drainage structure for a kitchen air conditioner, in which a wind blocking plate is arranged between the lower end of the evaporator and the water receiving tray, so that the gap at the lower end cannot form an air duct, thereby preventing condensed water at the lower end of the evaporator from flowing toward the air inlet end of the fan under wind pressure (negative pressure) and being sucked in by the fan, thereby ensuring the stable discharge of the condensed water, extending the service life of the fan, and ensuring the reliability and stability of the overall operation of the air conditioner; a waterproof structure is arranged between the upper side plate and the lower side plate, which can achieve effective waterproofing, prevent dust and water from entering, protect the internal electrical appliances, and extend the service life; the waterproof structure is formed by stamping and bending, and has a compact structure, high strength, convenient processing, low manufacturing cost, and good waterproofing effect; the utility model discloses a waterproof drainage structure for a kitchen air conditioner, which has a compact structure, convenient processing, low manufacturing cost, can achieve effective waterproofing and drainage of the air conditioner, has good use effect, and long service life.
