[0029] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a liquid discharge assembly 100 is proposed, comprising: a tube body portion 110, used to be connected to a pump body assembly 200; a liquid blocking portion 120, arranged on the tube body portion 110, the liquid blocking portion 120 having a liquid blocking side 1201, and the liquid blocking side 1201 is used to be arranged away from the pump body assembly 200.

[0031] The discharge assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a tube body portion 110 and a liquid blocking portion 120, wherein the tube body portion 110 is used to connect the pump body assembly 200, so that in actual application, the discharge assembly 100 can be connected to the liquid pumped out of the pump body assembly 200 through the tube body portion 110 and further discharge it to the outside, and the liquid blocking side 1201 of the liquid blocking portion 120 is used to be arranged away from the pump body assembly 200, so that the liquid blocking portion 120 can use the liquid blocking side 1201 to shield the pump body assembly 200, and then during the operation of the air conditioner, if there is liquid moving toward the pump body assembly 200 on the liquid blocking side 1201, the liquid blocking side 1201 can block the aforementioned liquid, reduce the probability of the liquid contacting the pump body assembly 200, and then protect the pump body assembly 200, improve the operating reliability of the pump body assembly 200, and reduce the risk of failure of the pump body assembly 200, which is beneficial to reducing the maintenance cost of the air conditioner and improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0032] It should be noted that the drain assembly 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be set in an air conditioner or used as a component of an air conditioner in actual application. The air conditioner can be, but is not limited to, a duct air conditioner. Figure 2As shown, the aforementioned tube body portion 110 can be connected to the pump body assembly 200 of the air duct machine, and the aforementioned pump body assembly 200 can be used to pump out the liquid in the water receiving tray of the air duct machine. The aforementioned liquid blocking portion 120 can be arranged on the aforementioned tube body portion 110, and the aforementioned liquid blocking side 1201 can be arranged between the component of the air duct machine that is prone to produce condensed water on the surface and the aforementioned pump body assembly 200. The aforementioned component that is prone to produce condensed water on the surface can be but is not limited to a heat exchange component; when the housing assembly 300 of the air duct machine is installed vertically, the heat exchange component of the air duct machine is usually located at the pump body assembly 200 along the gravity direction. Above, the condensed water on the surface of the heat exchange component is easy to drip to the pump body component 200 below under the action of gravity; the drainage component 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is based on the above-mentioned setting, and can use the liquid blocking side 1201 to shield the pump body component 200, so as to prevent the liquid on the surface of the heat exchange component from dripping onto the pump body component 200, and then protect the pump body component 200, and prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the pump body component 200, so as to avoid the body or line of the pump body component 200 from being corroded, which can reduce the risk of failure of the pump body component 200 and improve the operating reliability of the pump body component 200.

[0033] It is understandable that if Figure 2 As shown, in actual application, the liquid blocking portion 120 can be arranged above the pump body assembly 200 along the gravity direction.

[0034] It can be understood that the liquid blocking side 1201 can be used to block liquids including but not limited to the aforementioned condensed water.

[0035] It is understandable that, in practical applications, the aforementioned tube body 110 and the aforementioned liquid retaining portion 120 can be made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as but not limited to plastic materials or rubber materials, which is conducive to extending the service life of the tube body 110 and the liquid retaining portion 120. The materials of the aforementioned tube body 110 and the aforementioned liquid retaining portion 120 can be the same or different, and no excessive restrictions are made here. Among them, the aforementioned liquid retaining portion 120 can be made of a low-density corrosion-resistant material, which is conducive to reducing the load of the tube body 110 in practical applications and reducing the probability of deformation and damage of the tube body 110.

[0036] In some feasible examples, the density of the liquid blocking portion 120 is less than the density of the tube body 110 .

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, a liquid receiving groove 1202 is provided on the liquid blocking side 1201 .

[0038] In this technical solution, the aforementioned liquid blocking side 1201 may be provided with a liquid collecting groove 1202. Based on the aforementioned setting, the liquid blocking portion 120 may further utilize the liquid collecting groove 1202 to collect the liquid intercepted by the liquid blocking side 1201 to prevent the liquid from flowing around inside the air conditioner. This can further enhance the protective effect of the liquid blocking portion 120 on the pump body assembly 200, reduce the risk of other components of the air conditioner being affected by the liquid, and improve the operating reliability of the air conditioner.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the liquid blocking portion 120 is provided with a liquid drain port 1203 , the liquid drain port 1203 is connected to the liquid receiving groove 1202 , and the liquid drain port 1203 is used to correspond to the arrangement of the water receiving tray.

[0040] In this technical solution, the liquid blocking portion 120 may also be provided with a liquid drain port 1203 connected to the liquid receiving groove 1202. The aforementioned liquid drain port 1203 is used to correspond to the arrangement of the water receiving tray of the air conditioner, so that the liquid collected in the liquid receiving groove 1202 can be further discharged to the water receiving tray through the liquid drain port 1203, thereby avoiding excessive accumulation of liquid in the liquid receiving groove 1202, reducing the load of the tube body 110, and ensuring the structural reliability of the tube body 110. At the same time, it can also avoid the liquid from flowing around after being discharged, thereby reducing the risk of other components of the air conditioner being affected by the liquid and improving the operating reliability of the air conditioner.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the drain port 1203 is located on the peripheral side of the liquid receiving groove 1202 .

[0042] In this technical solution, the drain port 1203 can be arranged on the peripheral side of the liquid receiving groove 1202. On the one hand, the maximum liquid accumulation depth of the drain groove can be reduced when the maximum depth of the drain groove is constant, which is beneficial to reducing the load of the tube body 110 and ensuring the structural reliability of the tube body 110; on the other hand, it can also facilitate the liquid discharged through the drain port 1203 to move further away from the pump body assembly 200 under the action of inertia, thereby avoiding the probability of liquid splashing onto the pump body assembly 200 after being discharged, thereby enhancing the protective effect of the liquid blocking portion 120 on the pump body assembly 200.

[0043] It can be understood that the notch of the liquid receiving groove 1202 is located on the aforementioned liquid blocking side 1201, and accordingly, the bottom of the liquid receiving groove 1202 is often closer to the pump body assembly 200 than the notch, and the peripheral side of the aforementioned liquid receiving groove 1202 is also the portion of the groove wall between the notch and the bottom of the liquid receiving groove 1202; by arranging the liquid discharge port 1203 on the peripheral side of the liquid receiving groove 1202, when the liquid blocking portion 120 is located above the pump body assembly 200, the liquid blocking portion 120 can make the liquid discharged from the liquid discharge port 1203 flow in a roughly parabolic streamline, so that the liquid can gradually move away from the pump body assembly 200 below the liquid blocking portion 120 during the downward flow.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, a drainage groove 1204 is formed on the bottom wall of the liquid receiving groove 1202 , and the drainage groove 1204 is connected to the drainage port 1203 .

[0045] In this technical solution, a drainage groove 1204 can be opened on the bottom wall of the liquid receiving groove 1202, and the drainage groove 1204 and the liquid receiving groove 1202 are interconnected, and the aforementioned drainage port 1203 is connected to the drainage groove 1204, so that the bottom of the liquid receiving groove 1202 can be connected to the drainage port 1203 through the drainage groove 1204, thereby further reducing the amount of accumulated liquid in the liquid receiving groove 1202 and improving the drainage efficiency of the liquid receiving groove 1202, which is beneficial to further reduce the load of the tube body 110 during use, extend the service life of the tube body 110, and ensure the stability of the liquid blocking portion 120.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the cross-sectional area of ​​the drainage groove 1204 increases in a direction approaching the drainage port 1203 .

[0047] In this technical solution, the cross-sectional area of ​​the drainage groove 1204 can be increased in the direction close to the drainage port 1203. Based on the above-mentioned setting, the resistance of the liquid when flowing through the drainage groove 1204 to the drainage port 1203 can be reduced, the drainage efficiency of the drainage groove 1204 can be improved, and excessive liquid accumulation in the liquid receiving groove 1202 can be avoided, which is conducive to further reducing the load of the tube body 110 during use.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the tube body 110 and the drain port 1203 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0049] In this technical solution, the tube body 110 and the drain port 1203 can be staggered so that the tube body 110 can avoid the drain port 1203 and prevent the liquid discharged from the drain port 1203 from contacting the tube wall of the tube body 110, which is beneficial to further reduce the risk of liquid contacting the pump body assembly 200 and enhance the protective effect of the drain assembly 100 on the pump body assembly 200.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the liquid blocking portion 120 is provided with a connecting hole 1205 , and the tube body 110 is passed through the connecting hole 1205 .

[0051] In this technical solution, the liquid blocking portion 120 can utilize the connecting hole 1205 to connect to the tube body portion 110, thereby improving the connection reliability between the liquid blocking portion 120 and the tube body portion 110, reducing the probability of the liquid blocking portion 120 detaching from the tube body portion 110, and providing reliable protection for the protective effect of the liquid blocking portion 120.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the drainage assembly 100 further includes: a joint portion 130 for passing through the housing assembly 300 , one end of the tube portion 110 is used to be connected to the pump body assembly 200 , and the other end is connected to the joint portion 130 .

[0053] In this technical solution, the drainage component 100 may also include a joint portion 130 for passing through the casing component 300. The two ends of the aforementioned tube body portion 110 are respectively connected to the pump body component 200 and the joint portion 130, so that the tube body portion 110 can be connected to the liquid pumped out by the pump body component 200 during use and discharge the liquid to the outside of the casing component 300 of the air conditioner through the joint portion 130, which is beneficial to reduce the amount of liquid accumulated inside the casing component 300 and provide guarantee for the reliable operation of the components inside the casing component 300.

[0054] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a pump body assembly 200; and a drainage assembly 100 as provided in any one of the first aspects above.

[0055] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pump body assembly 200 and a drain assembly 100 as proposed in any one of the first aspects above, wherein the drain assembly 100 includes a tube body portion 110 and a liquid blocking portion 120, wherein the tube body portion 110 is used to connect the pump body assembly 200, so that in actual application, the drain assembly 100 can be connected to the liquid pumped out of the pump body assembly 200 through the tube body portion 110 and further discharged to the outside, and the liquid blocking side 1201 of the liquid blocking portion 120 is used to be arranged away from the pump body assembly 200, so as to block the liquid. The liquid portion 120 can utilize the liquid blocking side 1201 to shield the pump body assembly 200. Thus, during the operation of the air conditioner, if there is liquid moving toward the pump body assembly 200 on the liquid blocking side 1201, the liquid blocking side 1201 can block the aforementioned liquid, thereby reducing the probability of the liquid contacting the pump body assembly 200, thereby protecting the pump body assembly 200, improving the operational reliability of the pump body assembly 200, and reducing the risk of failure of the pump body assembly 200, which is beneficial to reducing the maintenance cost of the air conditioner and improving the user experience of the air conditioner.

[0056] It should be noted that the air conditioner provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure can be used as, but not limited to, a duct air conditioner in practical applications.

[0057] In some feasible examples, the air conditioner may further include a housing assembly 300, a heat exchange assembly and a water receiving tray, wherein the heat exchange assembly and the pump body assembly 200 are both arranged in the housing assembly 300, the pump body assembly 200 is located between the water receiving tray and the heat exchange assembly, and along the direction of gravity, the heat exchange assembly is arranged above the pump body assembly 200, the water receiving tray is arranged below the pump body assembly 200, the liquid inlet of the pump body assembly 200 is arranged in the water receiving tray, the aforementioned liquid blocking portion 120 is arranged between the heat exchange assembly and the pump body assembly 200, and the liquid blocking side 1201 is arranged toward the heat exchange assembly.
