[0033] The embodiments of the present application provide a water receiving device and an air conditioner to solve the problem that pollutants affect the service life of the water receiving tray. The following will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a water receiving device, including a water receiving tray 2 and a flushing mechanism 3. The water receiving tray 2 is used to receive condensed water, and the flushing mechanism 3 is arranged on the water receiving side of the water receiving tray 2, and the flushing mechanism 3 is used to flush the water receiving tray 2.

[0035] By arranging the flushing mechanism 3 on the water receiving side of the water receiving tray 2 and using the flushing mechanism 3 to regularly flush the water receiving tray 2, the pollutants in the water receiving tray 2 can be flushed out of the water receiving tray 2, solving the problem that pollutants affect the service life of the water receiving tray 2.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, the water receiving tray 2 is integrally formed. The water receiving side of the water receiving tray 2 is concavely provided with a first water receiving groove 21 and a second water receiving groove 23. A water pumping groove 24 is formed at the bottom of the first water receiving groove 21. The water pumping groove 24 is located at one end of the first water receiving groove 21. Both the first water receiving groove 21 and the second water receiving groove 23 can be used to receive condensed water, and the first water receiving groove 21 communicates with the second water receiving groove 23. The bottom of the second water receiving groove 23 is inclined towards the side of the first water receiving groove 21, and the bottom of the first water receiving groove 21 is inclined towards the side of the water pumping groove 24. The condensed water falling into the second water receiving groove 23 can flow into the first water receiving groove 21 along the second water receiving groove 23 and finally flow to the water pumping groove 24. In addition, a ventilation part 27 is integrally formed on the water receiving tray 2. The setting of the ventilation part 27 is beneficial to providing a ventilation space for external devices. A plurality of water guiding rib strips 25 are integrally formed on the bottom of the second water receiving groove 23. The plurality of water guiding rib strips 25 all extend along the water guiding direction of the second water receiving groove 23. The setting of the water guiding rib strips 25 can guide the condensed water to the first water receiving groove 21 faster; a plurality of filtering rib strips 26 are integrally formed on the bottom of the second water receiving groove 23. The plurality of filtering rib strips 26 are all arranged between the second water receiving groove 23 and the water pumping groove 24. The plurality of filtering rib strips 26 are arranged in two rows. The two rows of filtering rib strips 26 are both arranged along the width direction of the first water receiving groove 21, and the two rows of filtering rib strips 26 are staggered to filter foreign matters in the condensed water.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the flushing mechanism 3 includes a flushing component 31, a liquid discharging component 32, a control component 33 and a bracket 34. The flushing component 31 includes a flushing pump 311, a sprayer 312 and a cleaning box 313. The liquid discharging component 32 includes a control valve 321 and a liquid discharging pipe 322. The flushing pump 311 is fixedly connected to the bracket 34. The bracket 34 is fixedly connected to the structural member of the air conditioner. An output port and an inlet port are arranged on the flushing pump 311. The output port of the flushing pump 311 is communicated with one end of the control valve 321 through a pipeline. The inlet port of the flushing pump 311 extends into the water pumping groove 24 so that the flushing pump 311 can transport the condensed water flowing into the water pumping groove 24 to the control valve 321. The sprayer 312 includes a spray pipe 3121, a heater 3122 and a plurality of spray heads 3123. The spray pipe 3121 is communicated with the second end of the control valve 321 so that the control valve 321 can control the communication between the flushing pump 311 and the spray pipe 3121. The heater 3122 is arranged on the spray pipe 3121 to heat the washing liquid flowing through the spray pipe 3121. The plurality of spray heads 3123 are sequentially arranged at intervals along the length direction of the spray pipe 3121. In this embodiment, the plurality of spray heads 3123 are divided into two groups. One group of spray heads 3123 faces the ventilation part 27 to flush the ventilation part 27, and the other group of spray heads 3123 faces the side wall of the second water receiving groove 23 to flush the side wall of the second water receiving groove 23.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , the drain pipe 322 communicates with the third end of the control valve 321, so that the control valve 321 can control the communication between the drain pipe 322 and the flushing pump 311. Not only when the height of the condensate level in the water receiving tray 2 is too high, the flushing pump 311 can drain the condensate through the drain pipe 322 to the outside, but also after the water receiving tray 2 is flushed, the flushing pump 311 can drain the sewage through the drain pipe 322 to the outside, so as to keep the water receiving tray 2 clean. The cleaning box 313 communicates with the fourth end of the control valve 321 through a pipeline. The cleaning box 313 is used to accommodate the cleaning agent. When it is necessary to flush the water receiving tray 2, the control valve 321 controls the communication between the cleaning box 313 and the sprayer 312, so that the cleaning agent can be mixed with the condensate conveyed by the flushing pump 311 in the spray pipe 3121 to form a washing liquid. Subsequently, the washing liquid is heated by the heater 3122 and finally sprayed onto the water receiving tray 2 through the spray head 3123. By adding the cleaning agent to the condensate and heating the formed washing liquid, the cleaning ability of the washing liquid can be improved.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the control assembly 33 includes a liquid level detector 331 and a controller (not shown in the figure). The liquid level detector 331 is arranged in the first water receiving tank 21 and the liquid level detector 331 is fixedly connected to the bracket 34. The liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the controller, the controller is electrically connected to the flushing pump 311, and the controller is electrically connected to the control valve 321. The controller can control the start and stop of the flushing pump 311. When the liquid level detector 331 detects that the water level in the water receiving tray 2 is too low and the controller receives the command to flush the water receiving tray 2, the controller controls the air conditioner to continue running to generate condensate until the height of the condensate level reaches a preset height. Subsequently, the controller controls the flushing pump 311 to run and controls the control valve 321 to connect the flushing pump 311, the cleaning box 313 and the sprayer 312, which is beneficial to reducing the occurrence of the flushing pump 311 running empty.
