[0044] In the existing air conditioner, a water receiving pan is provided to receive the condensed water generated by the evaporator. In order to increase the cooling capacity of the air conditioner, an auxiliary evaporator is added on the basis of the original main evaporator of the air conditioner, but how to receive the condensed water generated by the auxiliary evaporator is a problem that needs to be solved.
[0045] To this end, in the related art, the size of the water receiving pan is increased so that the water receiving pan can receive the condensed water generated by the main evaporator as well as the condensed water generated by the auxiliary evaporator.
[0046] After the size of the water tray is increased, a new mold needs to be opened to process the new water tray due to the change in the structure of the water tray, which increases the cost of the air conditioner.
[0047] Combination Figure 1-9 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water receiving tray assembly for an air conditioner.
[0048] The air conditioner comprises a main evaporator 10 and an auxiliary evaporator 11 , and the water receiving tray assembly comprises a main water receiving tray 12 and an auxiliary water receiving tray 13 .
[0049] The main water receiving tray 12 defines a first water collecting space 20 for cooperating with the main evaporator 10 to receive condensed water generated by the main evaporator 10 .
[0050] A main water receiving pan 12 is provided under the main evaporator 10 , and the main water receiving pan 12 receives the condensed water dripping from the main evaporator 10 . A drainage hole is provided on the main water receiving pan 12 , and the condensed water generated by the main evaporator 10 can be discharged to the outside through the drainage hole on the main water receiving pan 12 .
[0051] The auxiliary water receiving tray 13 defines a second water collecting space 21 for cooperating with the auxiliary evaporator 11 to receive condensed water generated by the auxiliary evaporator 11 .
[0052] The first water collecting space 20 does not cover the auxiliary evaporator 11 , so that the condensed water of the auxiliary evaporator 11 will drip outside. In the present application, an auxiliary water receiving tray 13 is arranged under the auxiliary evaporator 11 to receive the condensed water generated by the auxiliary evaporator 11 .
[0053] The auxiliary water receiving tray 13 is relatively small in size and only covers the dripping position of the auxiliary evaporator 11 , so it occupies a small space and does not affect the installation and use of the original accessories.
[0054] The air conditioner includes a housing, an evaporator and a fan. The housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the evaporator and the fan are arranged inside the housing. When the fan is running, air is sucked in from the air inlet, and after the air exchanges heat with the evaporator, it is blown out from the air outlet.
[0055] The main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 are located in the direction of the connection line between the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11 (such as Figure 1 In the direction of the arrow M) there is Figure 8 Middle gap C.
[0056] The air inlet is located below the evaporator. The main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 are respectively located below the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11. Since there is a gap between the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 in the direction of the connection line between the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11, the shielding area of the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 on the air inlet is reduced, and air can enter from the gap between the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13, so that the design of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 has little effect on the air intake volume of the air conditioner.
[0057] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the main water receiving pan 12 is provided with a first connecting rib 14 , which extends along the connecting line of the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11 and is connected to the auxiliary water receiving pan 13 .

[0059] The number of the first connecting ribs may be one or more. When the number of the first connecting ribs 14 is multiple, the multiple first connecting ribs are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the main water receiving tray.
[0060] The auxiliary water receiving pan 13 is provided with a second connecting rib, which extends along the connecting line of the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11 and is connected to the main water receiving pan 12 .
[0061] By providing the second connecting rib, the connection between the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 can be achieved, so that the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 can be positioned, and the second connecting rib can strengthen the connection strength between the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13, thereby improving the bearing capacity of the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13.
[0062] The number of the second connecting ribs may be one or more. When the number of the second connecting ribs is multiple, the multiple second connecting ribs are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the main water receiving tray.

[0068] The second connecting rib is snap-connected to the main water receiving tray 12.
[0069] The snap connection method is easy for the connection between the second connecting rib and the main water receiving tray 12, and is also convenient for the disassembly between the second connecting rib and the main water receiving tray 12, that is, it is convenient for the installation and disassembly of the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13.

[0073] Optionally, the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 are communicated.
[0074] In this way, the condensed water in the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 can first flow into the main water receiving tray 12, and then flow out through the drain hole of the main water receiving tray 12, and there is no need to set a drain hole on the auxiliary water receiving tray 13, thereby reducing the cost of the air conditioner.
[0075] Combine Figure 3As shown, a communication rib 23 is provided between the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 , and a communication hole 24 is provided on the communication rib 23 , so that the main water receiving tray 12 and the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 are connected.
[0076] The condensed water on the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 can flow to the main water receiving tray 12 through the communicating hole 24 , and then be discharged through the drainage hole on the main water receiving tray 12 .
[0077] Combination Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, at least one end of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 in the length direction is in contact with the main water receiving tray 12, so that the at least one end of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 in the length direction is connected to the main water receiving tray 12, wherein the length direction of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 is perpendicular to the direction of the connection line between the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11. Figure 2 In the embodiment, two ends A and B of the auxiliary water receiving tray in the length direction are respectively connected to two ends of the main water receiving tray in the length direction.
[0078] The condensed water received by the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 can flow into at least one end of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 in the length direction, and then flow into the main water receiving tray 12 through the at least one end.
[0079] One end of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 in the length direction is in contact with and communicates with the main water receiving tray 12, or Figure 2 Both ends of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 in the length direction are in contact with and communicate with the main water receiving tray 12 .
[0080] The auxiliary water receiving tray 13 includes a first water receiving edge 16 and a second water receiving edge 17, one end of the first water receiving edge 16 is connected to the second water receiving edge 17 and a corner is formed at the connection with an opening toward the auxiliary water receiving tray 13, wherein the first water receiving edge 16 and the second water receiving edge 17 are arranged in sequence along the direction of the connecting line of the main evaporator 10 and the auxiliary evaporator 11.

The folded angle occupies a small space area and has a relatively large coverage area, which can effectively receive the condensed water generated on the auxiliary evaporator 11, so that the condensed water is collected to the bottom of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 through the first water receiving edge 16 and the second water receiving edge 17, and then flows into the main water receiving tray 12 through the connecting hole 24 and / or at least one end of the auxiliary water receiving tray 13 abutting against the main water receiving tray 12 in the length direction.
[0082] The auxiliary water receiving tray 13 includes a plurality of sub-water receiving trays 131 , and the plurality of sub-water receiving trays 131 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the auxiliary evaporator 11 .
