Detailed implementation mode

[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in this application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of this application described here can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described here.

[0039] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to represent examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design solution described as "exemplary" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or having more advantages than other embodiments or design solutions. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0040] A heat exchanger is provided inside the air-conditioning equipment, and a water receiving tray is provided below the heat exchanger. The water receiving tray is used to receive the condensed water generated by the heat exchanger during operation. A water receiving groove is usually provided on the water tray. The water receiving groove is used to converge and collect the condensed water on the water receiving tray and the condensed water falling from the heat exchanger, and guide the condensed water to the air-conditioning drain pipe.

[0041] In the prior art, the water receiving groove is in the shape of a groove. After the condensed water flows into the groove, it flows into the air-conditioning drain pipe through the drain port connected to the groove.

[0042] Since the air-conditioning equipment is operating, a part of the air blown by the fan inside the air-conditioning equipment will be blown into the air-conditioning drain pipe through the water receiving groove, resulting in a large amount of air leakage, reducing the air volume at the air-conditioning outlet, and further reducing the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0043] To solve the technical problem of large air leakage in the existing water receiving tray structure, this application proposes a water receiving tray structure, an indoor unit of an air conditioner, and an air conditioner. The water receiving tray structure includes a tray body. A water receiving groove and a drain port communicating with the water receiving groove are provided on the tray body. The drain port is used to communicate with the air-conditioning drain pipe to discharge the air-conditioning condensed water into the air-conditioning drain pipe. A plurality of windshields are provided in the water receiving groove, and the windshields are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the water receiving groove.

[0044] Since a plurality of windshields are arranged along the extending direction of the water receiving tank in the water receiving tank structure of the embodiment of the present application, that is, a plurality of windshields are arranged on the path where the water receiving tank leads to the drain opening, when the air blown by the air conditioner blower passes through the water receiving tank, the windshields will cause great resistance to the blown air. Therefore, most of the air blown by the air conditioner blower 800 can be blown out from the air conditioner air outlet. Compared with the existing water receiving tank structure, the water receiving tank structure of the present application reduces the amount of air leakage from the drain opening of the air blown by the air conditioner blower, and solves the technical problem of large air leakage of the existing water receiving tank structure.

[0045] The technical solution of the application will be described in detail below with specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

[0046] Refer to Figures 1 to 7 as shown in Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of the water receiving tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application connected to a part of the air conditioner indoor unit housing; Figure 2 is Figure 1 a partial enlarged structural diagram at A in Figure 3 which is a schematic structural diagram of the water receiving tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application connected to the heat exchanger; Figure 4 which is a schematic structural diagram of the air conditioner indoor unit housing provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 is Figure 4 a structural diagram from another angle; Figure 6 is Figure 5 a sectional structural diagram in the A-A direction in Figure 7 which is a schematic structural diagram of the water receiving tank of the water receiving tank structure provided by the embodiment of the present application from a top view angle.

[0047] Refer to Figures 1 to 2 as shown in

[0048] The embodiment of the present application provides a water receiving tank structure, including a disk body 100. A water receiving tank 200 and a drain opening 300 communicating with the water receiving tank 200 are arranged on the disk body 100. The drain opening 300 is used to communicate with an air conditioner drain pipe to discharge air conditioner condensate into the air conditioner drain pipe. A plurality of windshields 400 are arranged in the water receiving tank 200, and the windshields 400 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200.

[0049] The cross-sectional shape of the water receiving tank 200 can be a groove shape or other recessed shapes. It is only necessary that the bottom of the water receiving tank 200 is lower than the bottom wall of the tray body 100, and this embodiment does not have excessive restrictions.

[0050] A plurality of wind baffle plates 400 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200 in the water receiving tank 200. The wind baffle plates 400 will cause resistance to the wind. The shape of the wind baffle plates 400 can be any shape, such as rectangular, triangular, circular, etc.

[0051] Since a plurality of wind baffle plates 400 are arranged along the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200 in the water receiving tank 200 of the water receiving tray structure of this application embodiment, that is, a plurality of wind baffle plates 400 are arranged on the path where the water receiving tank 200 leads to the drain port 300. Therefore, when the wind blown by the air conditioner blower 800 passes through the water receiving tank 200, the wind baffle plates 400 will cause great resistance to the blown wind. As a result, most of the wind blown by the air conditioner blower 800 can be blown out from the air conditioner air outlet 610. Compared with the existing water receiving tray structure, the water receiving tray structure of this application reduces the air volume of the wind blown by the air conditioner blower 800 leaking from the drain port 300, and solves the technical problem of large air leakage of the existing water receiving tray structure.

[0052] Because the drain port 300 is communicated with the water receiving tank 200, that is, the air conditioner condensate water in the water receiving tank 200 can be discharged into the air conditioner drain pipe through the drain port 300.

[0053] It should be noted that there are many ways for the air conditioner condensate water in the water receiving tank 200 to be discharged into the drain port 300, which are related to the size, shape, connection method, etc. of the wind baffle plates 400. For example, when the wind baffle plates 400 just block the water receiving tank 200, the air conditioner condensate water in the water receiving tank 200 can cross over the wind baffle plates 400 from above, overflow the water receiving tank 200 and then flow into the water receiving tank 200 in front of the wind baffle plates, and finally can flow into the drain port 300; when there is a gap between the wind baffle plates 400 and the inner wall of the water receiving tank 200, the air conditioner condensate water can flow into the drain port 300 from the gap; fine holes can also be provided on the wind baffle plates 400 to facilitate the passage of the air conditioner condensate water.

[0054] In some embodiments, the wind baffle plates 400 are inclined with respect to the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200.

[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the inclined direction of the wind baffle plates 400 can be Figure 7 the +Y direction or the -Y direction as indicated by the arrow in

[0056] In another embodiment, the inclined directions of the wind baffle plates 400 with respect to the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200 are all away from the drain port 300.

[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the inclination direction of each wind deflector 400 with respect to the extension direction of the water receiving tank 200 is away from the drain port 300, that is, the inclination direction of the wind deflector 400 is the Figure 7 +Y direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 7 , that is to say,

[0058] In other embodiments, the wind deflectors 400 are formed in two rows. One row of wind deflectors 400 is arranged on one side wall in the extension direction of the water receiving tank 200, and the other row of wind deflectors 400 is arranged on the other side wall in the extension direction of the water receiving tank 200, and two adjacent wind deflectors 400 in the two rows of wind deflectors 400 are spaced and staggered.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, since two adjacent wind deflectors 400 in the two rows of wind deflectors 400 are spaced and staggered, that is, each wind deflector 400 is staggeredly arranged on the two side walls in the extension direction of the water receiving tank 200, thereby greatly increasing the resistance to the wind blown out by the air conditioner fan 800, and further reducing the air leakage volume from the drain port 300.

[0060] In some embodiments, a drainage gap 500 is formed between two adjacent wind deflectors 400, and the drainage gap 500 is used for the air conditioner condensate water in the water receiving tank 200 to be discharged to the drain port 300.

[0061] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, the drainage gap 500 can enable the air conditioner condensate water to smoothly pass through each wind deflector 400 in sequence and finally be discharged to the drain port 300, ensuring that the air conditioner condensate water can be smoothly discharged into the air conditioner drain pipe and preventing the air conditioner condensate water from overflowing from the water receiving tank 200.

[0062] In another embodiment, the water receiving tank 200 sequentially includes a first straight section 210, a bending section 220, and a second straight section 230 along the extension direction. One end of the second straight section 230 away from the bending section 220 is communicated with the drain port 300, and each wind deflector 400 is arranged on the second straight section 230.

[0063] In this embodiment, the bent section 220 can further cause resistance to the air blown out by the air conditioner blower 800 from entering the drain port 300. And since each wind deflector 400 is arranged on the second straight section 230, it can prevent the air blown out by the air conditioner blower 800 from directly entering the water receiving tank 200 from the second straight section 230. Also, the wind deflector 400 arranged on the second straight section 230 can also cause resistance to the air entering the drain port 300 from the first straight section 210, thereby ensuring that air entering the drain port 300 from various positions in the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200 can cause resistance.

[0064] Furthermore, multiple bent sections 220 can be provided. The more the bent sections 220 are, the greater the resistance to the air entering the drain port 300.

[0065] In another embodiment, referring to Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the projections of each wind deflector 400 towards the heat exchanger 700 of the air conditioner are all located within the heat exchanger 700, and the upper surface of the wind deflector 400 abuts against the heat exchanger 700.

[0066] In this embodiment, the heat exchanger 700 is arranged above the disk body 100 through a support frame 900. Since the air blown out by the air conditioner blower 800 is directed towards the heat exchanger 700, the projections of each wind deflector 400 of the embodiment of the present application towards the heat exchanger 700 are all located within the heat exchanger 700 to improve the wind blocking efficiency of the wind deflector 400. And since the upper surfaces of the wind deflectors 400 all abut against the heat exchanger 700, it can prevent the air blown out by the air conditioner blower 800 from directly blowing towards the wind deflectors 400 to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 700.

[0067] In some embodiments, the disk body 100 includes a disk bottom wall 110 and a disk side wall 120 arranged on the periphery of the disk bottom wall 110. The water receiving tank 200 is arranged on the disk bottom wall 110, and the drain port 300 is arranged on the disk side wall 120.

[0068] In this embodiment, the height of the upper surface of the disk bottom wall 110 is lower than the height of the upper surface of the disk side wall 120, and the drain port 300 is arranged on the disk side wall 120, thereby preventing the condensed water from overflowing from the disk body 100.

[0069] In other possible embodiments, the drain port 300 can also be arranged on the disk bottom wall 110.

[0070] In some possible embodiments, the lower surface of the wind deflector 400 abuts against the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 200, and the upper surface of the wind deflector 400 is parallel to the disk bottom wall 110.

[0071] In this embodiment, since the lower surface of the wind deflector 400 abuts against the bottom wall of the water receiving tank 200 and the upper surface of the wind deflector 400 is parallel to the bottom wall of the tray 110, the air blown out by the air conditioner fan 800 can only enter the drain port 300 through the drainage gap 500, further increasing the resistance of the air blown out by the air conditioner fan 800 to enter the drain port 300.

[0072] The second aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides an air conditioner indoor unit, which includes an air conditioner indoor unit housing 600 and also includes the water receiving tray structure of any one of the above embodiments, and the water receiving tray structure is arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit housing 600.

[0073] Since the water receiving tray structure provided in the embodiments of the present application is arranged on the air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiments of the present application, and a plurality of wind deflectors 400 are arranged along the extending direction in the water receiving tank 200 of the water receiving tray structure provided in the embodiments of the present application, that is, a plurality of wind deflectors 400 are arranged on the path where the water receiving tank 200 leads to the drain port 300. Therefore, when the air blown out by the air conditioner fan 800 passes through the water receiving tank 200, the wind deflectors 400 will cause great resistance to the blown air. As a result, most of the air blown out by the air conditioner fan 800 can be blown out from the air conditioner air outlet 610. Compared with the existing air conditioner indoor units, the air conditioner indoor unit of the present application reduces the air volume of the air blown out by the air conditioner fan 800 leaking from the drain port 300, and solves the technical problem of large air leakage of the water receiving tray structure on the existing air conditioner indoor units. Moreover, since one end of the wind deflector 400 is connected to one side wall in the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200, and a drainage gap 500 is provided between the other end of the wind deflector 400 and the other side wall in the extending direction of the water receiving tank 200, the drainage gap 500 enables the air conditioner condensate to smoothly pass through to the drain port 300, ensuring that the air conditioner condensate can be smoothly discharged into the air conditioner drain pipe.

[0074] The third aspect of the embodiments of the present application provides an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner outdoor unit and also includes the air conditioner indoor unit of any one of the above embodiments, and the air conditioner outdoor unit is connected to the air conditioner indoor unit.

[0075] Since the air conditioner of the embodiments of the present application includes the air conditioner indoor unit provided in the embodiments of the present application, compared with the existing air conditioners, the air conditioner of the present application reduces the air volume of the air blown out by the air conditioner fan 800 leaking from the drain port 300, and solves the technical problem of large air leakage of the water receiving tray structure on the air conditioner indoor unit in the existing air conditioners.

[0076] So far, the technical solutions of the present application have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application.
