[0031] In the current air conditioner chassis structure, various sunken areas are often formed inside the air conditioner chassis due to structural design requirements. When the air conditioner is working, the condensate generated inside the air conditioner will be received by the air conditioner chassis. Some of the condensate is likely to remain in the sunken areas and is difficult to drain. With long-term use, the condensate in the sunken areas is likely to overflow, affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner, and the condensate in the sunken area 130 is also likely to produce an odor, affecting the customer experience.
[0032] To solve the above technical problems, the present technical solution proposes an air conditioner chassis, including:
[0033] A chassis 100 having a bottom wall, the bottom wall being provided with a drain port 110 and a diversion channel 120 for diverting condensate to the drain port 110, and the bottom wall further forming a sunken area 130;
[0034] A diversion member 200 disposed in the sunken area 130, the diversion member 200 being used to receive condensate and divert it to the diversion channel 120.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, in the technical solution of the present utility model, the air conditioner chassis includes a chassis 100 having a bottom wall provided with a drain port 110 and a diversion channel 120 for diverting condensate to the drain port 110. The condensate dripping onto the chassis 100 can be diverted through the diversion channel 120 to the drain port 110 for discharge, thus preventing the condensate from accumulating inside the chassis 100. Additionally, the bottom wall has a sunken area 130 for designing the mounting seat of the air conditioner feet and other structures. A diversion member 200 is disposed in the sunken area 130. The diversion member 200 can receive the condensate dripping into the sunken area 130 and divert the condensate into the diversion channel 120 for discharge. Through the setting of the diversion member 200, the retention of condensate in the sunken area 130 can be prevented, ensuring that no condensate is stored inside the air conditioner chassis, preventing the occurrence of overflow or odor problems, and enhancing the user experience.
[0036] Such as Figures 1 to 4, in this embodiment, the air conditioner chassis can be applied to an indoor unit and form a part of the air conditioner housing. The air conditioner chassis includes two parts, a chassis 100 and a flow guide member 200. Among them, the chassis 100 is arranged at the bottom of the indoor unit and supported on the ground. The chassis 100 has a bottom wall provided at the top, and the bottom wall can receive condensed water dripping from components such as the air duct or evaporator inside the indoor unit. In addition, a drain port 110 and a flow guide channel 120 communicating with the drain port 110 are provided on the bottom wall. The drain port 110 can be arranged in the middle of the bottom wall, and the flow guide channel 120 is formed on the bottom wall by arranging rib plates. The flow guide channel 120 is inclined towards the drain port 110. The flow guide channel 120 corresponds to the positions of the air duct and the evaporator of the indoor unit. The condensed water dripping from the air duct and the evaporator can be collected by the flow guide channel 120 and discharged from the drain port 110. In addition, a water pump is also provided at the discharge port, and the condensed water in the flow guide channel 120 can be pumped out by the water pump in time. In addition, in this embodiment, the four corner ends at the bottom of the chassis 100 protrude downward to form mounting seats for the air conditioner feet. Since the chassis 100 is generally formed by stamping, the above-mentioned recessed areas 130 are formed at the four corner ends of the bottom wall of the chassis 100. The flow guide member 200 can be arranged in the recessed areas 130. The recessed areas 130 are closed by the flow guide member 200 to prevent condensed water from remaining in the recessed areas 130. At this time, the condensed water will drip on the flow guide member 200. Drainage structures such as drainage grooves can be arranged on the flow guide member 200, and the condensed water can be drained into the flow guide channel 120, ensuring that the condensed water dripping in the area where the recessed areas 130 are located can be discharged in time, thereby preventing overflow and peculiar smell. In addition, it can be imagined that arranging the flow guide member 200 in any recessed area on the chassis 100 can also achieve the effect of preventing condensed water from remaining in the chassis 100, which will not be elaborated here.
[0037] As Figure 4 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the top surface of the flow guide member 200 is inclined towards the flow guide channel 120. In this way, the condensed water dripping onto the top surface of the flow guide member 200 can flow towards the flow guide channel 120 under the action of gravity, ensuring that the condensed water dripping in the area where the recessed areas 130 are located can be discharged in time through the flow guide member 200, and the structure of the flow guide member 200 can be simplified, reducing the processing difficulty and manufacturing cost of the air conditioner chassis.
[0038] As Figure 3 And Figure 4, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a first baffle 210 is provided along the perimeter of the top surface of the flow guide member 200, and a flow guide opening 220 is provided on the first baffle 210 corresponding to the flow guide channel 120. In this embodiment, the first baffle 210 is provided along the perimeter of the top surface, and the first baffle 210 extends around the perimeter of the top surface. The first baffle 210 can be provided with a notch at one end close to the flow guide channel 120 on the top surface to form the flow guide opening 220. The condensed water dripping onto the top surface can be discharged into the flow guide channel 120 from the flow guide opening 220 under the action of gravity. During this process, the first baffle 210 can block the condensed water on the top surface, preventing the condensed water from dripping from other positions on the top surface, and ensuring that all the condensed water in the recessed area 130 is discharged from the flow guide opening 220.
[0039] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the top surface of the flow guide member 200 is inclined towards the flow guide opening 220. In this embodiment, the flow guide opening 220 can be provided at the edge of the top surface of the flow guide member 200, and the flow guide opening 220 extends above the flow guide channel 120. In addition, the top surface of the flow guide member 200 is inclined towards the flow guide opening 220. In this way, the condensed water dripping onto the top surface can flow to the flow guide opening 220 under the action of gravity and drip from the flow guide opening 220 into the flow guide channel 120 below. In this way, it can be ensured that the condensed water on the top surface of the flow guide member 200 can be collected by the flow guide channel 120 in time.
[0040] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the material of the flow guide member 200 is configured as a heat-insulating material. By utilizing the heat-insulating characteristics of the material of the flow guide member 200, the recessed area 130 on the chassis 100 can be heat-insulated, preventing the low temperature inside the air conditioner from being transmitted to the outside of the chassis 100. In this way, it can be prevented that condensed water is formed on the outer wall of the chassis 100 and drips onto the ground, further improving the user experience. In this solution, the material of the flow guide member 200 is configured as foam. In this way, while achieving heat insulation, the effect of waterproofing the recessed area 130 is also achieved. In addition, due to the light weight and low cost characteristics of the foam, the load of the chassis 100 can also be reduced and the production cost of the air conditioner can be lowered.
[0041] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the flow guide member 200 is detachably connected to the recessed area 130. For the convenience of assembly, the flow guide member 200 and the recessed area 130 can be assembled in a detachable connection manner. For example, the flow guide body can be bonded or screwed in the recessed area 130 of the chassis 100. In this way, the assembly difficulty can be reduced and the assembly process can be simplified.
[0042] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 4, in an embodiment of the present utility model, a reinforcing rib 140 is convexly provided in the recessed area 130, a clamping groove 230 is provided at the bottom of the flow guiding member 200, and the reinforcing rib 140 is in interference fit with the clamping groove 230. The reinforcing rib 140 is vertically arranged, and the reinforcing rib 140 connects the side wall and the bottom wall of the recessed area 130, so that the structural strength of the chassis 100 in the recessed area 130 can be improved. In addition, a clamping groove 230 adapted to the reinforcing rib 140 can be provided at the bottom of the flow guiding member 200. During assembly, the reinforcing rib 140 can be embedded into the clamping groove 230 and form an interference fit with the clamping groove 230, so that the reliability of the connection between the flow guiding member 200 and the chassis 100 can be further improved. At the same time, the movement of the flow guiding member 200 can be restricted by the limit between the reinforcing rib 140 and the clamping groove 230, ensuring the stable position of the flow guiding member 200 in the recessed area 130. In addition, the shape and size of the bottom of the flow guiding member 200 can be adapted to the shape and size of the recessed area 130. During assembly, the bottom of the flow guiding member 200 can be embedded into the recessed area 130 and form an interference fit with the recessed area 130, which not only prevents the formation of a gap between the flow guiding member 200 and the recessed area 130 resulting in the retention of condensed water, but also facilitates the assembly of the flow guiding member 200 on the chassis 100.
[0043] As Figure 2 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, a second baffle 150 is provided on the bottom wall, and the second baffle 150 extends along the edge of the recessed area 130, and the second baffle 150 is attached to the side wall of the flow guiding member 200. The second baffle 150 is provided at the edge of the recessed area 130 and extends along the edge of the recessed area 130. In this way, the second baffle 150 blocks the condensed water outside the recessed area 130, preventing the condensed water in other areas on the bottom wall from flowing into the recessed area 130, and further ensuring that no condensed water remains in the recessed area 130. In addition, in another embodiment, the side wall of the flow guiding member 200 can be attached to the second baffle 150, which not only ensures that the position of the flow guiding member 200 remains fixed when installed in the recessed area 130, but also prevents the dripping condensed water from entering the recessed area 130 between the flow guiding member 200 and the second baffle 150, and also achieves the effect of preventing condensed water from remaining in the recessed area 130.
[0044] The present utility model also proposes an air conditioner, including the above air conditioner chassis. The specific structure of the air conditioner chassis refers to the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated one by one here.
[0045] In one embodiment, the air conditioner includes an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is provided with the above-mentioned air conditioner chassis. In addition, the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are connected by a flexible refrigerant pipe, and the flexible refrigerant pipe is pre-filled with refrigerant. During the factory stage, the refrigerant circuit can be pre-filled with refrigerant. During installation, only the indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner need to be fixed respectively, without the need to assemble the refrigerant pipe and fill the refrigerant, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and enabling personal installation by users. In addition, the use of a flexible refrigerant pipe also allows a certain relative displacement between the pipes of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and can also ensure the tightness of the pipes to prevent refrigerant leakage. In addition, in another embodiment, the compressor can be arranged on the indoor unit to reduce the weight of the outdoor unit, thereby facilitating the installation of the outdoor unit. In addition, the compressor on the indoor unit can be provided with a noise reduction structure to reduce the working noise of the indoor unit to improve the user experience.
