Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of electrical appliances, and particularly relates to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] An existing embedded ceiling unit mainly consists of two major parts: an indoor unit and a panel component. The indoor unit is designed with installation lugs. The indoor unit is hoisted and installed above the ceiling through a hanging rod and the installation lugs. The panel component is fixed to the indoor unit by screws. After the whole machine is installed, the four peripheral edges of the panel are fitted to the ceiling.

[0003] The indoor unit mainly includes a box body, an air duct component, an evaporator component, a water pump assembly, a water receiving tray component, etc. The main function of the water receiving tray component is to receive the condensate water of the evaporator. The water pump assembly can actively discharge the condensate water in the water receiving tray through a water pump and a drain pipe, etc.

[0004] However, when the existing embedded ceiling unit is in use, there will be a hidden danger that due to faults in the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc., the water pump cannot work properly, the condensate water in the water receiving tray continuously increases, resulting in the condensate water overflowing from the water receiving tray and dripping everywhere. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present utility model provides an air conditioner, aiming to at least solve to a certain extent the technical problem that the condensate water overflows from the water receiving tray and drips everywhere.

[0006] The technical solution of the present utility model is as follows:

[0007] An air conditioner, characterized in that it includes: a housing provided with an air inlet; a heat exchanger disposed in the housing; a water receiving assembly disposed in the housing and located below the heat exchanger, the water receiving assembly being provided with a water receiving groove and an overflow hole communicating with the water receiving groove; wherein, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole on the housing is offset from the projection of the air inlet on the housing.

[0008] Since the housing is provided with an air inlet, the heat exchanger is disposed in the housing, the water receiving assembly is disposed in the housing and located below the heat exchanger, the water receiving assembly is provided with a water receiving groove and an overflow hole communicating with the water receiving groove, therefore, when there are faults in the electronic control main board, water pump assembly, etc. resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensate water in the water receiving assembly will gradually increase. The overflow hole is located above the set water level in the water receiving assembly. When the water level of the condensate water in the water receiving assembly exceeds the set water level, the condensate water will flow out from the overflow hole to avoid the situation that the condensate water overflows from the water receiving assembly and drips everywhere, ensuring the user experience.

[0009] Since the water receiving component is provided with a water receiving trough and an overflow hole connected with the water receiving trough, the water receiving component has both water receiving and overflow functions, thus realizing integrated functional integration, achieving dual purposes and reducing costs.

[0010] Since the projection of the overflow hole on the shell is staggered with the projection of the air inlet on the shell along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole on the shell will not overlap with the projection of the air inlet on the shell along the air inlet direction, that is to say, the overflow hole will not block the air inlet, and the wind entering the shell through the air inlet can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger, ensuring the air inlet area of the air inlet and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger, further improving the user experience. At the same time, when the wind enters the shell from the air inlet, it will not blow the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole, avoiding the condensed water from being blown into the shell and affecting the safety of the electrical equipment in the shell. The condensed water discharged from the overflow hole drips under the action of gravity, which can remind the user that the air conditioner has problems with the electronic control motherboard, water pump components, etc., which makes the water pump unable to work normally, so as to facilitate timely maintenance of the fault.

[0011] In some embodiments, the water receiving trough includes: a water receiving section; an overflow section, connected to the water receiving section at an angle; wherein the overflow hole is connected to the overflow section, so that the water receiving assembly has water receiving and overflow functions.

[0012] In some embodiments, the overflow section has a first side and a second side that are arranged opposite to each other, and the first side is located between the second side and the air inlet; wherein the overflow hole is opened on the first side to ensure the sealing performance of the air conditioner.

[0013] In some embodiments, the shell includes a main body and a surface frame assembly connected to the main body, and the surface frame assembly is provided with electronic components; the overflow hole and the electronic components are respectively located at two ends of the water receiving section to ensure the safety of the electronic components.

[0014] In some embodiments, the shell includes a main body and a face frame assembly connected to the main body, and the face frame assembly is provided with a driver connected to the air guide member; wherein the overflow hole and the driver are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section to ensure the safety of the driver.

[0015] In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole on the shell is staggered with the projection of the heat exchanger on the shell, so that the wind entering the shell through the air inlet can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.

[0016] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger is inclined in the housing and has a first end and a second end higher than the first end; wherein, along the air inlet direction, the distance between the projection of the overflow hole on the housing and the projection of the first end on the housing is greater than the distance between the projection of the overflow hole on the housing and the projection of the second end on the housing, so as to prevent the condensed water on the heat exchanger from flowing directly out of the overflow hole during the normal operation of the air conditioner.

[0017] In some embodiments, the housing includes a main body and a front frame assembly connected to the main body, and a water drainage hole communicating with the overflow hole is formed in the front frame assembly to drain the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole.

[0018] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes: a guiding member, connected to the water receiving assembly and communicating the overflow hole and the water drainage hole, so that the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole can flow to the water drainage hole.

[0019] In some embodiments, the guiding member further includes: a guiding portion, connected to the water receiving assembly and provided with a guiding groove communicating the overflow hole and the water drainage hole; a connecting portion, connected to the guiding portion and / or the front frame assembly and having a water guiding channel communicating the guiding groove and the water drainage hole; wherein, the connecting portion is arranged at an angle with the guiding portion, so that the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole can flow to the water drainage hole.

[0020] In some embodiments, a reinforcing member is provided on the guiding portion to ensure the structural strength of the guiding portion, and the reinforcing member and the guiding groove are respectively located on two opposite sides of the guiding portion to prevent the reinforcing member from interfering with the flow of the condensed water in the guiding groove.

[0021] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger is inclined in the housing, and the water receiving assembly further includes: a main water receiving tray, provided with the water receiving groove and the overflow hole; a support frame, connected to the main water receiving tray; a plurality of sub-water receiving trays, connected to the support frame and arranged below the heat exchanger, and the plurality of sub-water receiving trays are sequentially spaced apart in the up-down direction along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger, and in the height direction of the housing, the projections of the plurality of sub-water receiving trays on the bottom plate of the housing are connected end to end to fully receive the condensed water on the heat exchanger.

[0022] In some embodiments, a support groove capable of supporting the electronic control assembly is formed on the end surface of the support frame facing away from the sub-water receiving tray to facilitate the assembly of the air conditioner. Description of the Drawings

[0054] The present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0055] An air conditioner provided in this embodiment aims to at least solve the technical problem that condensate overflows from the water receiving tray and drips everywhere to a certain extent.

[0056] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner for some embodiments; Figure 2 For Figure 1 It is a separation schematic diagram of the front panel assembly and the body of the air conditioner in Figure 3 For Figure 2 It is an exploded view of the body in Figure 4 For Figure 2 It is an exploded view of the front panel assembly in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 And Figure 4, the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present application includes: a housing 10, a heat exchanger 20, and a water receiving assembly 30. The housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 101. The heat exchanger 20 is disposed inside the housing 10. The water receiving assembly 30 is disposed inside the housing 10 and is located below the heat exchanger 20. The water receiving assembly 30 is provided with a water receiving tank 301 and an overflow hole 302 communicating with the water receiving tank 301. Among them, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 is offset from the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10.

[0057] The air conditioner can be an embedded ceiling machine or a duct machine.

[0058] The heat exchanger 20 can be an evaporator.

[0059] Since the housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 101, the heat exchanger 20 is disposed inside the housing 10, the water receiving assembly 30 is disposed inside the housing 10 and is located below the heat exchanger 20, and the water receiving assembly 30 is provided with a water receiving tank 301 and an overflow hole 302 communicating with the water receiving tank 301, therefore, when there are malfunction problems such as the electronic control main board and the water pump assembly 40 resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase. The overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out from the overflow hole 302 to avoid the situation that the condensed water overflows from the water receiving assembly 30 and drips everywhere, ensuring the user experience.

[0060] Since the water receiving assembly 30 is provided with a water receiving tank 301 and an overflow hole 302 communicating with the water receiving tank 301, therefore, the water receiving assembly 30 has a water receiving function and an overflow function, realizing the integration of functions, achieving dual use with one component, and reducing costs.

[0061] Since along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 is offset from the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10, therefore, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 will not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10. That is to say, the overflow hole 302 will not block the air inlet 101. The air entering the housing 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, ensuring the air inlet area of the air inlet 101 and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20, further improving the user experience. At the same time, when the air enters the housing 10 through the air inlet 101, it will not blow to the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302, avoiding blowing the condensed water into the housing 10 and affecting the safety of the electrical equipment inside the housing 10. The condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302 drips under the action of gravity, which can remind the user that there are malfunction problems such as the electronic control main board and the water pump assembly resulting in the water pump not working properly, so as to facilitate timely repair of the malfunction.

[0062] Combined with Figure 2, in some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 is offset from the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the housing 10. That is to say, the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 does not overlap with the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the housing 10, and the overflow hole 302 does not block the heat exchanger 20. The air entering the housing 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20 and further improving the user experience.

[0063] Figure 5 is Figure 3 the schematic structural view of the water receiving assembly in the first perspective; Figure 6 is Figure 5 the enlarged view at A in; Figure 7 is Figure 3 the schematic structural view of the water receiving assembly in the second perspective; Figure 8 is Figure 7 the rear view of; Figure 9 is Figure 8 the enlarged view at B of. Combining Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments, in order to enable the water receiving assembly 30 to have the functions of receiving water and overflowing, the water receiving tank 301 includes: a water receiving section 3011 and an overflow section 3012. The overflow section 3012 is connected to the water receiving section 3011 at an angle. Among them, the overflow hole 302 is connected to the overflow section 3012.

[0064] In some embodiments, the water receiving section 3011 is located below the heat exchanger 20. When the air conditioner is cooling, the condensed water generated on the heat exchanger 20 will drip into the water receiving section 3011, and the condensed water in the water receiving section 3011 can be pumped out through the water pump assembly of the air conditioner to realize the function of discharging the condensed water. When there are malfunction problems such as the electronic control main board and the water pump assembly, resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensed water in the water receiving section 3011 will gradually increase and flow into the overflow section 3012. The overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out successively through the overflow section 3012 and the overflow hole 302 to avoid the situation that the condensed water overflows from the water receiving assembly 30 and drips everywhere, ensuring the user experience.

[0065] When the air conditioner is working, the air enters the housing 10 through the air inlet 101, which will blow the condensed water on the water receiving section 3011. If the air volume is large and the overflow hole 302 is connected to the water receiving section 3011, the condensed water on the water receiving section 3011 may be blown out through the overflow hole 302, affecting the user experience. Combining Figure 5, in some embodiments, to prevent the overflowed condensed water from being blown out and affecting the safety of the electrical components of the air conditioner, the overflow hole 302 communicates with the overflow section 3012. Compared with communicating with the water receiving section 3011, it can make the overflow hole 302 away from the air inlet area of the heat exchanger 20, ensure that the condensed water can flow out normally, guarantee the safety of the electrical components of the air conditioner, and improve the user experience.

[0066] If the overflow hole 302 communicates with the water receiving section 3011, the length of the water receiving section 3011 is relatively long. When there are fault problems such as the electronic control main board and the water pump assembly, resulting in the water pump not working properly, it is impossible to ensure the accurate overflow position, resulting in a large area of condensed water dripping, difficult to protect, and increased electrical safety risks. Combined with Figure 5 , in some embodiments, to ensure the accurate overflow position, the length of the overflow section 3012 is less than the length of the water receiving section 3011, and the overflow hole 302 communicates with the overflow section 3012. When the condensed water is discharged from the overflow hole 302, the overflow position of the condensed water can be accurately known, reducing the area of condensed water dripping, facilitating protection, and reducing the electrical safety risks.

[0067] If the overflow hole 302 communicates with the water receiving section 3011, the length of the water receiving section 3011 is relatively long. After injection molding, there is a risk of distortion and deformation of the overflow hole 302, affecting the overflow of the condensed water. Combined with Figure 5 , in some embodiments, to ensure that the condensed water can overflow normally, the length of the overflow section 3012 is less than the length of the water receiving section 3011, and the overflow hole 302 communicates with the overflow section 3012. That is to say, the overflow hole 302 is opened in the overflow section 3012, which is convenient for injection molding, can reduce the possibility of distortion and deformation of the overflow hole 302, enable the condensed water to be discharged normally, and has high structural reliability.

[0068] If the overflow hole 302 communicates with the water receiving section 3011, the distance between the overflow hole 302 and the heat exchanger 20 is relatively close. When the air conditioner is running normally, there is a risk that when the condensed water flows, it will overflow the overflow hole 302 and directly drip. Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, to avoid the risk that when the air conditioner is running normally, the condensed water overflows the overflow hole 302 and directly drips, the overflow hole 302 communicates with the overflow section 3012, making the overflow hole 302 away from the heat exchanger 20. When the air conditioner is running normally, it is ensured that the condensed water will not overflow the overflow hole 302 and directly drip, improving the user experience.

[0069] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3, in some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the housing 10 is offset from the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10. Therefore, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the housing 10 does not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10. That is to say, the overflow section 3012 does not block the air inlet 101. The air entering the housing 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, ensuring the air inlet area of the air inlet 101 and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20, and further improving the user experience.

[0070] Combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the housing 10 is offset from the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the housing 10. That is to say, the projection of the overflow section 3012 on the housing 10 does not overlap with the projection of the heat exchanger 20 on the housing 10. The overflow section 3012 does not block the heat exchanger 20. The air entering the housing 10 through the air inlet 101 can fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 20, ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20, and further improving the user experience.

[0071] Combined with Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the included angle between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 can be an acute angle, a right angle or an obtuse angle. When the included angle between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 is a right angle, the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 are perpendicular. However, the perpendicular relationship between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 is not an absolute perpendicular in the geometric sense. The angular relationship between the water receiving section 3011 and the overflow section 3012 can be in the range of 90±3°.

[0072] In some embodiments, since the overflow hole 302 is communicated with the overflow section 3012, the area of the overflow section 3012 occupied by the overflow hole 302 is small, the structure is simple, it is convenient to prepare, and the processing cost is reduced. Moreover, the positions of the overflow holes 302 are concentrated. When a failure problem occurs in the electronic control main board, the water pump assembly, etc., resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensed water in the overflow section 3012 will first flow out from the overflow holes 302, and the range of the condensed water dripping is small, reducing the electrical safety risk and facilitating protection.

[0073] Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a main body 103 and a face frame assembly 104 connected to the main body 103. The face frame assembly 104 is supported by the main body 103, and an air inlet 101 is formed on the face frame assembly 104.

[0074] Combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5, in some embodiments, to ensure the sealing performance of the air conditioner, the overflow section 3012 has a first side and a second side that are oppositely arranged, and the first side is located between the second side and the air inlet 101. Among them, the overflow hole 302 is opened on the first side.

[0075] The second side of the overflow section 3012 is fixed to the folded edge of the chassis 1011 of the air conditioner. After the main body 103 is connected to the front panel assembly 104, the second side, the folded edge of the chassis 1011, and the front panel assembly 104 jointly seal the housing 10. If the overflow hole 302 is opened on the second side, there will be a situation of air leakage and water leakage. In some embodiments, to reduce the possibility of air leakage and water leakage, the overflow hole 302 is opened on the first side, ensuring the sealing performance of the air conditioner.

[0076] The front panel assembly 104 has an air inlet grille 107, and the second side has exceeded the area of the air inlet grille 107. If the overflow hole 302 is opened on the second side, the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 will flow onto the panel 109 of the front panel assembly 104. The panel 109 is generally a concave curved surface. When the condensed water flows onto the panel 109, the condensed water will accumulate, which will affect the operation of the electrical components of the air conditioner and also cause the situation of water accumulation and bacteria growth, affecting the user experience. Figure 10 For Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cooperation between the front panel assembly and the water receiving assembly; Figure 11 For Figure 10 Cross-sectional view taken along C-C direction; Figure 12 For Figure 10 Enlarged schematic diagram at D in; combined with Figure 10 , Figure 11 And Figure 12 , in some embodiments, to discharge the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302, the overflow hole 302 is opened on the first side, and the first side is located within the area of the air inlet grille 107, so that the overflow hole 302 is opposite to the air inlet grille 107. The condensed water can be discharged through the overflow hole 302 and the air inlet grille 107 in sequence, avoiding the accumulation of condensed water, ensuring the normal operation of the electrical components of the air conditioner, and also preventing the condensed water from flowing onto the panel 109, avoiding the situation of water accumulation and bacteria growth, and ensuring the user experience.

[0077] Figure 13 For Figure 10 Exploded view of; Figure 14 For Figure 13 Schematic diagram of the layout of the electronic components in; combined with Figure 2 , Figure 13 And Figure 14, in some embodiments, to ensure the safety of the electronic component 105, the housing 10 further includes a bezel assembly 104 connected to the body 103, and the electronic component 105 is provided on the bezel assembly 104. The overflow hole 302 and the electronic component 105 are respectively located at two ends of the water receiving section 3011. Among them, both sides of the water receiving section 3011 located on the center line in the length direction of the housing 10 are ends, and the electronic component 105 can be an electrical component such as a display component, a receiving component, or a control component.

[0078] In some embodiments, when a failure problem occurs in the electronic control main board, the water pump assembly, etc., resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensate water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase. The overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensate water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensate water will flow out from the overflow hole 302. The overflow hole 302 and the electronic component 105 are respectively located at two ends of the water receiving section 3011, so that the overflow hole 302 is far away from the electronic component 105, preventing the condensate water flowing out from the overflow hole 302 from flowing towards the electronic component 105, avoiding the short - circuit failure of the electronic component 105, and ensuring the safety of the electronic component 105.

[0079] Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 13 , in some embodiments, to ensure the safety of the driver 108, the housing 10 further includes a bezel assembly 104 connected to the body 103, and the driver 108 connected to the air guiding member 106 is provided on the bezel assembly 104. Among them, the overflow hole 302 and the driver 108 are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section 3012. Among them, both sides of the overflow section 3012 located on the center line in the width direction of the housing 10 are ends.

[0080] In some embodiments, when a failure problem occurs in the electronic control main board, the water pump assembly, etc., resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensate water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase. The overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensate water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensate water will flow out from the overflow hole 302. The overflow hole 302 and the driver 108 are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section 3012, so that the overflow hole 302 is far away from the driver 108, preventing the condensate water flowing out from the overflow hole 302 from flowing towards the driver 108, avoiding the short - circuit failure of the driver 108, and ensuring the safety of the driver 108.

[0081] Combined with Figure 2 , in some embodiments, the housing 10 has a driver mounting seat 102, and the driver 108 can be installed on the driver mounting seat to support the driver 108 through the driver mounting seat 102. Among them, the overflow hole 302 and the driver mounting seat 102 are respectively located at two ends of the overflow section 3012.

[0082] Combined with Figure 3 , in some embodiments, when the air conditioner is operating normally, in order to prevent the condensed water on the heat exchanger 20 from flowing directly out of the overflow hole 302, the heat exchanger 20 is inclined in the housing 10 and has a first end and a second end higher than the first end. Wherein, along the air inlet direction, the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 and the projection of the first end on the housing 10 is greater than the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 and the projection of the second end on the housing 10.

[0083] In some embodiments, during the refrigeration process of the air conditioner, condensed water is generated on the heat exchanger 20. Along the air inlet direction, the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 and the projection of the first end on the housing 10 is greater than the distance between the projection of the overflow hole 302 on the housing 10 and the projection of the second end on the housing 10. There is a height difference between the overflow hole 302 and the second end, so that the overflow hole 302 is far away from the heat exchanger 20, and there is no risk that the condensed water droplets on the heat exchanger 20 will directly flow out through the overflow hole 302 when they drip, ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner operation and improving the user experience.

[0084] Combined with Figure 12 , in some embodiments, in order to discharge the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302, the housing 10 further includes a front frame assembly 104 connected to the body 10, and a water drainage hole 1010 communicating with the overflow hole 302 is formed on the front frame assembly 104.

[0085] In some embodiments, when a failure problem occurs in the electronic control main board, the water pump assembly, etc., resulting in the water pump not working properly, the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 will gradually increase. The overflow hole 302 is located above the set water level of the water receiving assembly 30. When the water level of the condensed water in the water receiving assembly 30 exceeds the set water level, the condensed water will flow out through the overflow hole 302 and the water drainage hole 1010 in sequence, preventing the condensed water from accumulating, ensuring that the electrical components of the air conditioner can operate normally, and also preventing the condensed water from flowing onto the panel 109 and avoiding the situation of water accumulation and bacteria growth, thus ensuring the user experience.

[0086] In some embodiments, along the air inlet direction, the projection of the water dropping hole 1010 on the housing 10 is offset from the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10. That is to say, the projection of the water dropping hole 1010 on the housing 10 does not overlap with the projection of the air inlet 101 on the housing 10. When the air enters the housing 10 from the air inlet 101, it will not blow the condensed water discharged from the water dropping hole 1010, preventing the condensed water from being blown into the housing 10 and affecting the safety of the electrical equipment inside the housing 10. The condensed water discharged from the water dropping hole 1010 drips under the action of gravity, which can remind the user that the air conditioner has a failure problem such as an electronic control main board or a water pump assembly, resulting in the water pump not working properly, so as to facilitate the timely repair of the failure.

[0087] Combined with Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, in order to enable the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302 to flow to the water dropping hole 1010, the air conditioner further includes: a guiding member 50. The guiding member 50 is connected to the water receiving assembly 30 and communicates the overflow hole 302 and the water dropping hole 1010. Through the guiding of the guiding member 50, the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 can smoothly flow to the water dropping hole 1010. At the same time, it can also prevent the flowing direction of the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 from being uncertain, ensuring the accurate overflow position of the water receiving assembly 30, reducing the dripping area of the condensed water, facilitating protection, and reducing the electrical safety risk.

[0088] Combined with Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, in order to enable the condensed water discharged from the overflow hole 302 to flow to the water dropping hole 1010, the guiding member 50 further includes: a guiding portion 501 and a connecting portion (not shown in the figure). The guiding portion 501 is connected to the water receiving assembly 30 and is provided with a guiding groove 5011 that communicates the overflow hole 302 and the water dropping hole 1010. The connecting portion is connected to the guiding portion 501 and / or the front panel assembly 104 and has a water guiding channel that communicates the guiding groove and the water dropping hole 1010. Among them, the connecting portion is arranged at an angle with the guiding portion 501.

[0089] In some embodiments, the condensed water flowing out of the overflow hole 302 can flow through the guiding groove 5011 to the water guiding channel, and the condensed water is guided to the water dropping hole 1010 through the water guiding channel, so that the condensed water 102 can be smoothly discharged. Moreover, the water guiding channel can prevent the influence of external environmental factors on the flow of the condensed water 102, ensuring that the condensed water 102 can smoothly flow to the water dropping hole 1010.

[0090] In some embodiments, in order to ensure structural strength, the guide portion 501 can be integrally formed with the overflow section 3012 of the water receiving assembly 30, thereby reducing the number of processing steps and lowering costs.

[0091] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the guide portion 501, a reinforcement member 502 is provided on the guide portion 501 to reduce the possibility of distortion of the guide portion 501, so that the condensed water can be discharged normally.

[0092] Combine Figure 7 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, in order to prevent the reinforcement 502 from interfering with the flow of condensed water in the guide groove 5011, the reinforcement 502 and the guide groove 5011 are respectively located on opposite sides of the guide portion 501, so that the condensed water in the guide groove 5011 can flow smoothly to the connecting portion.

[0093] Combine Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 20 is arranged at an angle within the housing 10. In order to fully receive the condensed water on the heat exchanger 20, the water receiving assembly 30 further includes: a main water receiving tray 303, a support frame 304, and an auxiliary water receiving tray 305. The main water receiving tray 303 is provided with a water receiving groove 301 and an overflow hole 302. The support frame 304 is connected to the main water receiving tray 303. Multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305 are connected to the support frame 304 and are arranged below the heat exchanger 20. The multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305 are arranged in sequence in the vertical direction along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger 20. Along the height direction of the housing 10, the projections of the multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305 on the bottom plate of the housing 10 are connected end to end. A wind gap for air to pass through is separated between two adjacent auxiliary water receiving trays 305.

[0094] In some embodiments, when the heat exchanger 20 generates condensed water, under the action of gravity, a portion of the condensed water can flow downward along the inclined surface of the heat exchanger 20 and flow into the main water receiving tray 303, and the other portion of the condensed water drips downward from the inclined surface of the heat exchanger 20 into multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305. The main water receiving tray 303 and multiple auxiliary water receiving trays 305 are used to receive the condensed water dripping downward from the heat exchanger 20, thereby preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the chassis of the shell 10, or falling into the room from the air inlet 101 on the chassis, thereby improving the user experience.

In combination with Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18 and Figure 19 , in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the assembly of the air conditioner, a support groove 3041 capable of supporting the electronic control component 60 is provided on the end surface of the support frame 304 facing away from the secondary water receiving tray 305.

[0096] In some embodiments, when assembling the air conditioner in the factory, one end of the electronic control component 60 can be placed in the support groove 3041, and the other end can be placed on the edge of the housing 10, so that the electronic control component 60 is inclined, and the electronic control component 60 is supported by the support frame 304 and the housing 10, facilitating the wiring of the electronic control box.

[0097] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the water receiving component 30, the main water receiving tray 303, the support frame 304 and the secondary water receiving tray 305 are integrally formed, reducing the processing procedures and the processing cost.

[0098] In some embodiments, a notch is provided on the water receiving component 30 to form an overflow hole 302, and the edge of the water receiving component 30 does not need to be made high, so as to save materials and reduce costs.
