[0005] Aiming at the above-mentioned prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the utility model is that during long-term use, the drainage pipes for collecting condensate water in existing air conditioner electrical cabinets will have problems such as cracks and breakages due to aging, corrosion or external force damage, resulting in water leakage.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an optimized structure for collecting condensed water in an air-conditioning electrical cabinet, which includes an electrical cabinet. An air conditioner is fixedly connected to the side end of the electrical cabinet through a bracket. One end of the air conditioner close to the electrical cabinet is fixedly connected with a housing. A cold air duct is installed inside the housing. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom end of the housing. A pair of symmetrically detachable foldable protective covers are sleeved outside the drain pipe. A plurality of clamps are fixedly connected to the protective cover at equal intervals. Connecting blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamp close to the cross-section, and two overlapping connecting blocks are fixed by bolts. A plurality of compression springs are fixedly connected to the clamps located inside the protective cover at equal intervals, and the compression springs are in contact with the outer wall of the drain pipe. A strip-shaped airbag is detachably connected between adjacent two compression springs, and after the strip-shaped airbag is filled with gas, it is in contact with the outer wall of the drain pipe. An injection hole is fixedly opened on the surface of the side wall of the drain pipe close to the connection part with the air conditioner, and a sealing plug is installed in the injection hole. A pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drain pipe. An alarm is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the clamps on the upper protective cover, and the alarm is electrically connected to the pressure sensor.

[0007] In the above collection structure, a foldable protective cover is wrapped on the surface of the drain pipe, and by installing a strip-shaped airbag inside, it can be applicable to a bent drain pipe and can play a buffering and protective role at the same time. And when the drain pipe leaks, an alarm can be automatically sent to remind the maintenance personnel, and the leakage point can be quickly found for repair.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present application, second magic tapes are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the strip-shaped airbag. A first magic tape is fixedly connected to the clamp between adjacent two compression springs, and the first magic tape is adhered to the second magic tape.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present application, an opening is drilled on the side end of the housing directly below the cold air duct. A water collecting tray is detachably connected to the opening. An inclined baffle is fixedly connected above the inner wall of the water collecting tray, and there is a water inlet between the inclined baffle and the inner wall of the water collecting tray.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present application, a water outlet is drilled at the bottom end of the water collecting tray, and the drain pipe is threadedly connected to the water outlet through a joint.

[0011] As another improvement of the present application, a sealing cover is threadedly connected to the opening through screws, and a sealing gasket that is engaged with the opening is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing cover close to the opening.

[0012] As a supplementary improvement of the present application, a water level sensor is installed on the side wall of the water collecting tray below the inclined baffle.

[0013] As a supplementary improvement of the present application, an electromagnetic valve is installed in the water outlet. A controller for controlling the electromagnetic valve is fixedly connected to the housing, and the water level sensor is electrically connected to the controller.

[0014] In summary, after installing the drain pipe, the strip-shaped airbag is filled with gas and clamped between two adjacent compression springs respectively, and fixed by sticking the second magic tape and the first magic tape. Then, two protective covers are sleeved on the surface of the drain pipe, and two overlapping connecting blocks are fixed by bolts, so as to fix the protective cover on the surface of the drain pipe. At this time, the compression springs in the protective cover all abut against the surface of the drain pipe, increasing the stress points, and the drain pipe can be protected. If the drain pipe leaks, the pressure sensor detects a drop in the pressure inside the drain pipe, and at this time, the signal is transmitted to the alarm to give an alarm to remind of the water leakage. At this time, the maintenance personnel can open the protective cover and fill the drain pipe with fluorescent dye through the injection hole at the connection between the air conditioner and the drain pipe. When the condensed water flows into the drain pipe, the filled fluorescent dye can flow along the water flow direction through the entire drain pipe. Then, use an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the surface of the drain pipe. When fluorescence appears, it indicates that there is a water leakage here, and then repair it;

[0015] Through the above, a foldable protective cover is wrapped on the surface of the drain pipe, and a strip-shaped airbag is installed inside, which can be applied to a bent drain pipe and can play a buffering and protective role. And when the drain pipe leaks, it can automatically give an alarm to remind the maintenance personnel, and the leakage point can be quickly found for repair. Description of the Drawings

[0025] The following describes two embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] The first embodiment:

[0027] Figures 1-4 An optimized structure for collecting condensate water from an air conditioner electric cabinet is shown, including an electric cabinet 1. The side end of the electric cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to an air conditioner 2 through a bracket 3. One end of the air conditioner 2 close to the electric cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to an outer shell 15. A cold air duct 16 is installed inside the outer shell 15. A drain pipe 4 is connected to the bottom end of the outer shell 15. A relatively symmetrical detachable and foldable protective cover 5 is sleeved outside the drain pipe 4. A plurality of clamps 6 are fixedly connected to the protective cover 5 at equal intervals. Connecting blocks 7 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamp 6 near the cross-section, and two overlapping connecting blocks 7 are fixed by bolts. A plurality of compression springs 8 are fixedly connected to the clamp 6 inside the protective cover 5 at equal intervals, and the compression springs 8 abut against the outer wall of the drain pipe 4. A strip-shaped airbag 9 is detachably connected between adjacent two compression springs 8, and after the strip-shaped airbag 9 is filled with gas, it contacts the outer wall of the drain pipe 4. An injection hole 14 is fixedly opened on the surface of the side wall of the drain pipe 4 near the end connected to the air conditioner 2, and a sealing plug is installed in the injection hole 14. A pressure sensor 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drain pipe 4. An alarm 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the clamps 6 on the upper protective cover 5, and the alarm 10 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 13.

[0028] Second magic tapes 12 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both ends of the strip-shaped airbag 9. First magic tapes 11 are fixedly connected to the clamp 6 between adjacent two compression springs 8, and the first magic tapes 11 are adhered to the second magic tapes 12.

[0029] Working principle: After installing the drain pipe 4, the strip-shaped airbag 9 is filled with gas and clamped between two adjacent compression springs 8 respectively, and fixed by adhesion through the second magic tape 12 and the first magic tape 11. Then, two protective covers 5 are sleeved on the surface of the drain pipe 4, and the two overlapping connecting blocks 7 are fixed by bolts, so as to fix the protective cover 5 on the surface of the drain pipe 4. At this time, the compression springs 8 in the protective cover 5 are all in contact with the surface of the drain pipe 4, increasing the stress points, and at this time, the drain pipe 4 can be protected. If the drain pipe 4 leaks, the pressure sensor 13 detects a decrease in the pressure in the drain pipe 4. At this time, a signal is sent to the alarm 10 to give an alarm to remind of the water leakage situation. At this time, the maintenance personnel can open the protective cover 5 and fill the drain pipe 4 with fluorescent dye through the injection hole 14 at the connection between the air conditioner 2 and the drain pipe 4. When the condensed water flows into the drain pipe 4, the filled fluorescent dye can flow along the water flow direction through the entire drain pipe 4. Then, the surface of the drain pipe 4 is irradiated with an ultraviolet lamp. When fluorescence appears, it indicates that there is a water leakage situation here, and then maintenance can be carried out;

[0030] Through the above, a foldable protective cover 5 is wrapped on the surface of the drain pipe 4, and a strip-shaped airbag 9 is installed inside, which can be suitable for the curved drain pipe 4 and can play a buffering and protective role at the same time. And when the drain pipe 4 leaks, it can automatically send an alarm to remind the maintenance personnel, and the leakage point can be quickly found for maintenance.

[0031] The second implementation method:

[0032] Figures 5-7 It is shown that an opening is cut in the side end of the housing 15 located directly below the cold air duct 16. A water collecting tray 17 is detachably connected in the opening. A sloping baffle 20 is fixedly connected above the inner wall of the water collecting tray 17, and there is a water inlet between the sloping baffle 20 and the inner wall of the water collecting tray 17. A water outlet is cut at the bottom end of the water collecting tray 17, and the drain pipe 4 is threadedly connected to the water outlet through a joint. A sealing cover 18 is threadedly connected in the opening by screws, and a sealing gasket that engages with the opening is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing cover 18 close to the opening. A water level sensor is installed on the side wall of the water collecting tray 17 below the sloping baffle 20, and an electromagnetic valve is installed in the water outlet. A controller 19 for controlling the electromagnetic valve is fixedly connected to the housing 15, and the water level sensor is electrically connected to the controller 19.

[0033] Working principle: Place a water collecting tray 17 at the bottom of the cold air duct 16, and seal the inside of the housing 15 through the sealing cover 18. At this time, the condensed water during the operation of the electrical cabinet 1 and the air conditioner 2 drips onto the sloping baffle 20 and then flows into the water collecting tray 17 from the water inlet along the sloping baffle 20 for collection. When the water is collected to the highest water level, at this time, the water level sensor sends a signal to the controller 19, and the electromagnetic valve is automatically opened to drain the water through the drain pipe 4;

[0034] Through the above, setting the outer shell 15 can better collect the condensed water and can automatically discharge it to avoid the effect of overflow.

[0035] Combined with the current actual needs, the above implementation manner adopted in this application, the protection scope is not limited thereto. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes made without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
