[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A water receiving tray for an air energy water heater, comprising a water heater receiving plate 2, a water receiving hopper 3 and a water outlet pipe 4. An installation block 1 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the water heater receiving plate 2. Connecting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the water receiving hopper 3. A sliding groove 7 with equal groove diameters is formed on one side of the connecting block 6. A spring 8 is arranged inside the sliding groove 7. A slider 9 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 7. An arc-shaped clamping block 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slider 9. A groove 11 is formed on one side of the water heater receiving plate 2 close to the water receiving hopper 3. A card slot 12 with an arc-shaped cross-section is formed inside the water heater receiving plate 2.

[0029] The inner wall of the water receiving hopper 3 is provided with a heat insulation pad 13, and the water outlet pipe 4 penetrates through the water receiving hopper 3 and the heat insulation pad 13. This setting enables the water receiving hopper 3 to keep warm and insulate heat, reducing the occurrence of condensation water freezing or frosting inside the water receiving hopper 3 when the external environment is cold; a filter plate 5 is provided at the top of the water receiving hopper 3, and the filter plate 5 is snap-connected to the water heater bearing plate 2. This setting enables the filtering of substances entering the water receiving hopper 3, reducing the accumulation of substances inside the water receiving hopper 3 and thus preventing the water outlet pipe 4 from being blocked; both ends of the spring 8 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slider 9 and the sliding groove 7 respectively, and the water heater bearing plates 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water receiving hopper 3. This setting enables the positioning of the spring 8 and the positioning of the positions of the water heater bearing plate 2 and the water receiving hopper 3; the connecting block 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the groove 11, the connecting block 6 is slidably connected to the groove 11, the arc-shaped clamping block 10 is in contact with the inner wall of the clamping groove 12, and the groove 11 communicates with the clamping groove 12. This setting enables the installation of the water receiving hopper 3.

[0030] Working process: When the water receiving tray of the air energy water heater is to be used to collect the condensation water generated by the water heater, the water receiving tray of the air energy water heater is installed at the set position through the mounting block 1, and then the air energy water heater is installed on the water heater bearing plate 2. The condensation water generated when the air energy water heater is working will fall into the water receiving hopper 3 after being filtered by the filter plate 5. The heat insulation pad 13 is provided in the water receiving hopper 3, and the heat insulation pad 13 enables the water receiving hopper 3 to keep warm and insulate heat, reducing the occurrence of condensation water freezing or frosting inside the water receiving hopper 3 when the external environment is cold. The condensation water accumulated in the water receiving hopper 3 will flow out through the water outlet pipe 4. After using for a period of time, the water receiving hopper 3 will accumulate dust. The water receiving hopper 3 can be pulled to make the connecting block 6 slide inside the groove 11. When the connecting block 6 slides, the arc-shaped clamping block 10 will gradually disengage from the clamping groove 12. During the process of the arc-shaped clamping block 10 disengaging from the clamping groove 12, the arc-shaped clamping block 10 will be squeezed, and after being squeezed, the arc-shaped clamping block 10 will act on the slider 9, causing the slider 9 to slide inside the sliding groove 7. When the slider 9 slides, it will squeeze the spring 8. When the connecting block 6 completes disengaging from the groove 11, the disassembly of the water receiving hopper 3 is realized. At the same time, the filter plate 5 is placed on the top of the water receiving hopper 3 through snap connection with the water heater bearing plate 2, and the filter plate 5 can also be disassembled. After the cleaning or replacement of the filter plate 5 and the water receiving hopper 3 are completed, the reverse operation can be used to realize the installation of the water receiving hopper 3 and the filter plate 5.

[0031] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
