[0029] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in a variety of forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be more comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concept of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0030] In addition, described feature, structure or characteristic can be combined in one or more embodiments in any suitable manner. In the following description, many specific details are provided to provide a full understanding of the embodiments of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the technical scheme of the present application can be put into practice without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, devices, steps, etc. can be adopted. In other cases, known methods, devices, realizations or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid blurring the various aspects of the application.

[0031] The present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present embodiment provides an air-conditioning box drainage bin structure, comprising: a bin body 1, the bin body 1 is provided with a water storage chamber 101 and a drainage channel 11, the drainage channel 11 comprises a water inlet 102 and a drain outlet 103 which are connected to each other, the water inlet 102 is connected to the water storage chamber 101, and the drain outlet 103 is connected to the outside of the water storage chamber 101; wherein, the inner cavity wall of the water storage chamber 101 is recessed with a drainage sub-groove 104, one end of the drainage sub-groove 104 is connected to the water storage chamber 101, and the other end is connected to the drainage channel 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drainage channel 11 is the inner space of the drainage pipe 111 connecting the inside and outside of the water storage chamber 101. Of course, in other embodiments, the drainage channel 11 may be only the drainage hole 105 penetrating the tank body 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, a drainage sub-groove 104 is recessed in the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101, one end of the drainage sub-groove 104 is connected to the water storage chamber 101, and the other end is connected to the drainage channel 11. Therefore, even if the water inlet 102 of the drainage channel 11 is blocked by foreign matter, the condensed water in the water storage chamber 101 can be discharged into the drainage channel 11 through the drainage sub-groove 104, and then discharged through the drainage channel 11, which ultimately reduces the probability that the drainage channel 11 cannot achieve drainage after the water inlet 102 of the drainage channel 11 is blocked by foreign matter.

[0035] It should be understood that since the air conditioning box 3 is connected to the warehouse body 1 and the air conditioning box 3 is provided with openings such as the defrosting air outlet 301 and the face air outlet 302, the user may accidentally drop foreign objects in the shape of blocks, balls, etc. into the air conditioning box 3 through the openings, and then enter the warehouse body 1, eventually causing the water inlet 102 to be blocked.

[0036] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the drainage sub-groove 104 is located in the water storage chamber 101, and the other end extends to the drainage port 103. Therefore, even when foreign matter blocks the drainage pipe 111 and is located between the water inlet 102 and the drainage port 103, condensed water can still be discharged through the drainage sub-groove 104, avoiding the short circuit or damage of electrical equipment in the vehicle caused by the condensed water seeping out of the air conditioning box 3, affecting driving safety. In addition, the drainage sub-groove 104 also has a certain diversion effect on the discharge of condensed water, guiding the condensed water to be discharged from the drainage pipe 111.

[0037] It should be understood that a portion of the drainage sub-groove 104 is formed by a recessed portion of the inner wall of the drainage pipe 111. One end of the drainage sub-groove 104 extending to the drainage port 103 means that one end of the drainage sub-groove 104 passes through the end of the drainage pipe 111 away from the water storage chamber 101.

[0038] In other embodiments, one end of the drainage sub-groove 104 is located in the water storage chamber 101, and the other end extends between the water inlet 102 and the drain outlet 103. When foreign matter blocks the water inlet 102, the condensed water in the water storage chamber 101 can be discharged through the drainage sub-groove 104 to between the water inlet 102 and the drain outlet 103, and then discharged from the drain pipe 111, thereby preventing the condensed water from seeping out of the air conditioning box 3 and causing short circuit or damage to the electrical equipment in the vehicle, thereby affecting driving safety.

[0039] Optionally, Figure 3 In the example shown, there are a plurality of drainage sub-grooves 104 , and the plurality of drainage sub-grooves 104 are spaced apart from each other.

[0040] Optionally, the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101 is provided with four drainage sub-grooves 104. When the water inlet 102 is blocked by foreign objects, the four drainage sub-grooves 104 can discharge the condensed water at the same time, which is beneficial to increase the speed of condensed water being discharged from the water storage chamber 101 and avoid a large amount of condensed water from seeping out from the air-conditioning box 3 after gathering, causing short circuit or even damage to electrical equipment, seriously affecting driving safety.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of drainage sub-grooves 104 are arranged around the water inlet 102, and the intervals between two adjacent drainage sub-grooves 104 are equal.

[0042] In this embodiment, four drainage sub-grooves 104 are arranged around the water inlet 102, and the distance between two adjacent drainage sub-grooves 104 is equal, so that the condensed water in the water storage chamber 101 can be discharged evenly and quickly through the drainage sub-grooves 104, thereby improving the drainage effect of the air-conditioning box drainage bin structure.

[0043] It should be understood that the number, size and distribution of the drainage sub-grooves 104 can be selected according to the amount of condensed water generated in the air-conditioning box 3 .

[0044] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the air-conditioning box drainage bin structure also includes a grille structure 2, which is connected to the bin body 1 and arranged at the water inlet 102; wherein the grille structure 2 protrudes from the drainage outlet 103 toward the water inlet 102.

[0045] In this embodiment, the grille structure 2 protrudes from the drainage port 103 toward the water inlet 102, so that the grille structure 2 has an anti-blocking effect, that is, the grille structure 2 can block foreign matter outside the water inlet 102 to prevent foreign matter from completely blocking the drainage channel 11.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the grille structure 2 includes a plurality of grille bars 21, and the plurality of grille bars 21 are arranged crosswise with each other; wherein the intersection portion of two grille bars 21 protrudes from the drainage port 103 toward the water inlet 102, and the grille holes 201 between two adjacent grille bars 21 connect the water inlet 102 and the water storage chamber 101.

[0047] In this embodiment, the grille structure 2 includes three grille bars 21, one end of each of the three grille bars 21 is connected to the bin body 1, and the other ends of the three grille bars 21 are connected to each other. One end formed by the three grille bars 21 connected to each other is protruded from the drainage port 103 toward the water inlet 102 to block foreign matter outside the water inlet 102. In addition, after the grille bars 21 are provided in the drainage bin structure of the air conditioner, condensed water can be discharged through the grille holes 201 formed between two adjacent grille bars 21. While blocking foreign matter, the grille bars 21 also increase the drainage area of ​​condensed water, thereby achieving more efficient drainage.

[0048] It should be understood that the number, size, distribution and protruding angle of the grille bars 21 can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0049] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the grille bars 21 and the drainage sub-groove 104 are arranged in a staggered manner to prevent the grille bars 21 from blocking the drainage sub-groove 104, resulting in the condensed water being unable to be discharged smoothly when foreign matter blocks the water inlet 102. The grille holes 201 and the drainage sub-groove 104 are arranged correspondingly and are interconnected, so that the condensed water can enter the drain pipe 111 through the grille holes 201 and be discharged, and can also be discharged directly through the drainage sub-groove 104, which is conducive to improving the discharge speed of the condensed water.

[0050] It should be understood that, compared with the existing structure, by setting the drainage sub-groove 104 and the grille structure 2 in the silo body 1, only the corresponding structure needs to be designed on the mold, which can effectively avoid the blockage or clogging of the water inlet 102, and the unit price of the product is basically unchanged.

[0051] This embodiment provides an air conditioning assembly, including an air conditioning box 3 and the above-mentioned air conditioning box drainage bin structure, and the air conditioning box 3 is connected to the bin body 1.

[0052] This embodiment also provides a vehicle, including a frame assembly and the above-mentioned air-conditioning assembly, wherein the air-conditioning assembly is connected to the frame assembly.
