Detailed Embodiment

[0019] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-5, A multi-directional flow guiding air conditioner water receiving tray provided by the utility model includes: a bottom plate 1, and further includes: a disc-shaped component 2 installed at one end of the outer wall of the top of the bottom plate 1. A plurality of water buckets 3 are equidistantly distributed in the disc-shaped component 2. And a bending plate 4 is installed at one end of the outer wall of the top of the bottom plate 1. A flow guiding pipe 5 is rotatably installed at one end of the outer wall of the top of the bending plate 4. And an elastic rod 6 is installed on the inner wall of the flow guiding pipe 5. A sealing block 7 is fixed at the bottom of the elastic rod 6. And a water receiving pipe 8 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the top of the flow guiding pipe 5. A support plate 9 is fixed on the outer wall of the water receiving pipe 8. And a controller 10 and a motor 11 are installed on one side outer wall of the bending plate 4. A transmission component 12 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 11. And the motor 11 is in transmission connection with the flow guiding pipe 5 through the transmission component 12.

[0021] It should be noted here that: the water receiving pipe 8 can be connected to the air conditioner condensate drain pipe. The condensate water enters the flow guiding pipe 5 through the water receiving pipe 8 and then flows downward into one of the water buckets 3 in the disc-shaped component 2. When the water in this water bucket 3 is almost full and reaches a certain weight, the disc-shaped component 2 transmits a signal to the controller 10. The controller 10 controls the motor 11 to drive the flow guiding pipe 5 to rotate 90° through the transmission component 12, changing the water flow direction, turning the bottom of the flow guiding pipe 5 above another water bucket 3, and using another water bucket 3 to receive water. During the rotation of the flow guiding pipe 5, the sealing block 7 contacts the top of the disc-shaped component 2. The upper half of the sealing block 7 is pushed into the flow guiding pipe 5 and compresses the elastic rod 6. The bottom pipe orifice of the flow guiding pipe 5 is blocked by the sealing block 7 to prevent condensate water from continuously flowing out when the flow guiding pipe 5 rotates. When the bottom of the flow guiding pipe 5 turns above another water bucket 3, the sealing block 7 separates from the top of the disc-shaped component 2, and the elastic rod 6 resets to push the sealing block 7 out of the flow guiding pipe 5 to continue discharging water. By arranging a plurality of water buckets 3, continuous small-weight water storage can be carried out multiple times, which is convenient for taking the water bucket 3 to use water. At the same time, when changing the water flow direction to switch the water bucket 3 for water filling, the outflow of water is avoided.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the disc-shaped component 2 includes a chassis 201, a plurality of weight sensors 202 equidistantly embedded in the outer wall of the top of the chassis 201, a support column 203 fixed in the middle of the outer wall of the top of the chassis 201, a top disc 204 fixed on the top of the support column 203, and a plurality of water passing openings 205 equidistantly arranged on the outer wall of the top of the top disc 204.

[0023] It should be noted here that: The water flowing out of the diversion pipe 5 can pass through the water inlet 205 and flow into the water bucket 3. The weight sensor 202 can monitor the weight of the water bucket 3. When the water bucket 3 is almost full and reaches a certain weight, the weight sensor 202 transmits a signal to the controller 10. The controller 10 controls the motor 11 to drive the diversion pipe 5 to rotate 90° through the transmission component 12, changing the water flow direction, turning the bottom of the diversion pipe 5 above another water bucket 3, and using another water bucket 3 to receive water. During the rotation of the diversion pipe 5, the sealing block 7 contacts the top of the top plate 204, and the upper half of the sealing block 7 is pushed into the diversion pipe 5 and squeezes the elastic rod 6 to block the bottom pipe orifice of the diversion pipe 5, preventing condensed water from continuing to flow out when the diversion pipe 5 rotates.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic rod 6 includes a pipe body 601, a movable rod 602 slidably connected to the inner wall of the pipe body 601, and a spring 603 disposed in the pipe body 601. The upper and lower ends of the spring 603 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the top of the pipe body 601 and the outer wall of the top of the movable rod 602.

[0025] It should be noted here that: The sealing block 7 contacts the top of the top plate 204, and the upper half of the sealing block 7 is pushed into the diversion pipe 5 and drives the movable rod 602 to rise and squeeze the spring 603.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission component 12 includes a driving wheel 1201 fixed to the output shaft of the motor 11, a driven wheel 1202 fixed to the outer wall of the diversion pipe 5, and a belt 1203 drivingly connected between the driving wheel 1201 and the driven wheel 1202.

[0027] It should be noted here that: The motor 11 can drive the driving wheel 1201 to rotate, thereby driving the belt 1203 and the driven wheel 1202 to rotate, and further driving the diversion pipe 5 to rotate.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of equally spaced schematic circles 206 are marked on the top of the chassis 201.

[0029] It should be noted here that: It is convenient to place the water bucket 3.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the sealing block 7 is an arc structure.

[0031] It should be noted here that: The contact between the sealing block 7 and the top of the top plate 204 facilitates the force to rise.

[0032] Working principle: The water connection pipe 8 can be connected to the air conditioner condensate drain pipe. The condensate water enters the diversion pipe 5 through the water connection pipe 8 and then flows downward into the water bucket 3. The weight of the water bucket 3 can be monitored by the weight sensor 202. When the water bucket 3 is almost full and reaches a certain weight, the weight sensor 202 transmits a signal to the controller 10. The controller 10 controls the motor 11 to drive the driving wheel 1201 to rotate, thereby driving the belt 1203 and the driven wheel 1202 to rotate, and then driving the diversion pipe 5 to rotate. The diversion pipe 5 can be driven to rotate by 90°, changing the water flow direction, turning the bottom of the diversion pipe 5 above another water bucket 3, and using the other water bucket 3 to receive water;

[0033] During the rotation of the diversion pipe 5, the sealing block 7 contacts the top of the top plate 204. The upper half of the sealing block 7 is pushed into the diversion pipe 5 and drives the movable rod 602 to rise and compress the spring 603. When the bottom of the diversion pipe 5 turns above another water bucket 3, the sealing block 7 separates from the top of the top plate 204, and the spring 603 resets, pushing the sealing block 7 out of the diversion pipe 5 to continue discharging water. By setting multiple water buckets 3, continuous small-weight water storage can be carried out multiple times, which is convenient for taking the water bucket 3 to use water. At the same time, when changing the water flow direction to switch the water bucket 3 for water storage, the outflow of water is avoided.
