DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0028] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure.

[0029] The indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes an indoor unit body 1, an evaporator 2, and a water guiding assembly 3. An installation cavity 11 is provided inside the indoor unit body 1, and the inner wall surface of the installation cavity 11 includes a first wall surface 111 and a second wall surface 112. The evaporator 2 is disposed in the installation cavity 11. The evaporator 2 has a first end and a second end. The first end 21 of the evaporator faces the first wall surface 111, and the second end 22 of the evaporator faces the second wall surface 112. The water guiding assembly 3 includes a first water guiding rib 31. The first water guiding rib 31 is disposed on the first wall surface 111, and the free end of the first water guiding rib 31 abuts against the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator.

[0030] One end of the first water guiding rib 31 is connected to the first wall surface 111, and the other end of the first water guiding rib 31, that is, the free end of the first water guiding rib 31, abuts against the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator, disconnecting the flow path of the condensed water on the first wall surface 111. By abutting the first water guiding rib 31 against the lower side of the evaporator 2, the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 can flow toward the evaporator 2 along the extending direction of the first water guiding rib 31 and flow into the water receiving tray 7 along the evaporator 2, realizing the drainage of the condensed water on the first wall surface 111.

[0031] Compared with the phenomenon in the related art that the sponge at the sealing position between the evaporator 2 and the indoor unit body 1 absorbs too much water, resulting in the condensed water flowing along the inner wall of the indoor unit body 1, in the indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, by arranging the first end 21 of the evaporator opposite to the first wall surface 111 of the indoor unit body 1, a first water guiding rib 31 is provided on the first wall surface 111 so that the first water guiding rib 31 can receive and guide the condensed water on the first wall surface 111, and the free end of the first water guiding rib 31 abuts against the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator, so that the condensed water guided by the first water guiding rib 31 can flow to the evaporator 2 along the extending direction of the first water guiding rib 31 and flow downward along the evaporator 2 to the water receiving tray 7, avoiding the leakage of the indoor unit 100 caused by the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 flowing downward along the surface of the first wall surface 111, realizing the drainage of the condensed water on the first wall surface 111, and improving the user experience.

[0032] Specifically, as Figures 1 - 3As shown, in the projection plane orthogonal to the length direction of the indoor unit 100, the cross-section of the evaporator 2 is V-shaped, and the tip of the evaporator 2 is arranged downward. The first end 21 of the evaporator is the rear end of the evaporator 2, and the second end 22 of the evaporator is the front end of the evaporator 2. The first wall surface 111 of the installation cavity 11 is located at the rear side, and the second wall surface 112 of the installation cavity 11 is located at the front side. The relative arrangement of the rear end of the evaporator 2 and the first wall surface 111 located at the rear side and the relative arrangement of the front end of the evaporator 2 and the second wall surface 112 located at the front side.

[0033] It can be understood that when the evaporator 2 is working, since the temperature on the surface of the evaporator 2 is lower than the dew point temperature of the surrounding air, the water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator 2 to form condensed water. A water receiving tray 7 is usually provided at the bottom of the evaporator 2, and the condensed water on the evaporator 2 will flow along the surface of the evaporator 2 into the water receiving tray 7.

[0034] It should be noted that in this application, the first end 21 of the evaporator is not limited to the rear end of the evaporator 2, the second end 22 of the evaporator is not limited to the front end of the evaporator 2, the first wall surface 111 of the installation cavity 11 is not limited to being located at the rear side, and the second wall surface 112 of the installation cavity 11 is not limited to being located at the front side. It only needs to ensure that the first end 21 of the evaporator is opposite to the first wall surface 111 of the installation cavity 11, and the second end 22 of the evaporator is opposite to the second wall surface 112 of the installation cavity 11. For example, in another embodiment, the first end 21 of the evaporator is the front end of the evaporator 2, the second end 22 of the evaporator is the rear end of the evaporator 2, the first wall surface 111 of the installation cavity 11 is located at the front side, and the second wall surface 112 of the installation cavity 11 is located at the rear side.

[0035] In some embodiments, in the projection plane orthogonal to the length direction of the indoor unit 100, the projection of the first water guiding rib 31 extends horizontally from the first wall surface 111 towards the first end 21 of the evaporator.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, there is a first gap 4 between the first end 21 of the evaporator and the first wall surface 111. The first water guiding rib 31 is arranged in the first gap 4. The first water guiding rib 31 extends in the front-rear direction. The rear end of the first water guiding rib 31 is connected to the first wall surface 111, and the front end of the first water guiding rib 31 abuts against the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator. In this embodiment, by arranging the first water guiding rib 31 extending in the front-rear direction in the gap between the first end 21 of the evaporator and the first wall surface 111 and making the front end of the first water guiding rib 31 abut against the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator, it is convenient for the first water guiding rib 31 to drain the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 to the evaporator 2 for heat exchange, improving the drainage effect of the first water guiding rib 31.

[0037] Furthermore, the front end of the first water guiding rib 31 abuts against the rear end of the evaporator 2 with an interference of 0.5 mm - 1 mm to further ensure the water guiding effect of the first water guiding rib 31.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first end 21 of the evaporator has an upper side and a lower side, and the first water guiding rib 31 is located above the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the upper side 211 of the first end of the evaporator is located above the first water guiding rib 31, and the lower side 212 of the first end of the evaporator is located above the first water guiding rib 31. That is to say, the first water guiding rib 31 is arranged between the upper side 211 of the first end of the evaporator and the lower side 212 of the first end of the evaporator.

[0040] Optionally, the first end 21 of the evaporator has a first sealing surface 213. The upper side 211 of the first end of the evaporator, the first sealing surface 213, and the lower side 212 of the first end of the evaporator are connected in sequence, and the front end of the first water guiding rib 31 abuts against the first sealing surface 213.

[0041] For example, the first water guiding rib 31 is arranged adjacent to the lower side 212 of the first end of the evaporator compared to the upper side 211 of the first end of the evaporator, which is convenient for the first water guiding rib 31 to receive the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 and improve the water guiding effect of the condensed water.

[0042] In some embodiments, the water guiding assembly 3 further includes a first water absorbing member 32. The first water absorbing member 32 is arranged between the first wall surface 111 and the first end 21 of the evaporator and is located above the first water guiding rib 31.

[0043] Specifically, as Figure 2 shown, the upper end of the first water absorbing member 32 abuts against the first wall surface 111, and the lower end of the first water absorbing member 32 abuts against a part of the first sealing surface 213 of the first end 21 of the evaporator, realizing the sealed connection between the evaporator 2 and the first wall surface 111.

[0044] Due to the water absorption property of the first water absorbing member 32, the first water absorbing member 32 will absorb water when encountering condensed water, and overflow will occur when the first water absorbing member 32 is in a saturated state. The overflowed part of the condensed water will flow along the surface of the first wall surface 111. In this embodiment, by arranging the first water guiding rib 31 below the first water absorbing member 32, the first water guiding rib 31 diverts the overflowed part of the condensed water from the first water absorbing member 32 to the evaporator 2, preventing the condensed water from flowing out through the air outlet and improving the user experience.

[0045] Further, in this embodiment, by providing the first water diversion rib 31, the position of the first water absorption member 32 can be limited, the setting position of the first water absorption member 32 can be standardized, and the unity of the setting position of the first water absorption member 32 can be improved.

[0046] Further, the first water absorption member 32 is connected to the first end 21 of the evaporator by an adhesive method.

[0047] Further, the first water absorption member 32 is a sponge.

[0048] In some embodiments, the water diversion assembly 3 further includes a second water diversion rib 33. The second water diversion rib 33 is provided on the second wall surface 112, and the free end of the second water diversion rib 33 abuts at least against the lower side of the second end 22 of the evaporator.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the second end 22 of the evaporator is arranged opposite to the second wall surface 112, and there is a second gap 5 between the second end 22 of the evaporator and the second wall surface 112. The second water diversion rib 33 is provided in the second gap 5. One end of the second water diversion rib 33 is connected to the second wall surface 112, and the other end of the second water diversion rib 33, that is, the free end of the second water diversion rib 33, abuts against the second end 22 of the evaporator. By providing the free end of the second water diversion rib 33, the flow path of the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 can be disconnected. Since the free end of the second water diversion rib 33 abuts at least against the lower side of the second end 22 of the evaporator, the second water diversion rib 33 can guide the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 to the evaporator 2, avoiding the outflow of the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 and improving the user experience.

[0050] Optionally, the second water diversion rib 33 is arranged obliquely, and the lower end of the second water diversion rib 33 is inclined forward to facilitate the diversion of the condensed water by the second water diversion rib 33.

[0051] In some embodiments, there are at least two second water diversion ribs 33. The free end of one second water diversion rib 33 abuts against the lower side of the second end 22 of the evaporator, and the free end of the other second water diversion rib 33 abuts against the upper side of the second end 22 of the evaporator.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, the two second water diversion ribs 33 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction, one second water diversion rib 33 is located at the front side, and the other second water diversion rib 33 is located at the rear side. The upper end of the second water diversion rib 33 located at the front side is connected to the second wall surface 112, and the lower end of the second water diversion rib 33 located at the front side abuts against the lower side of the second end 22 of the evaporator. The upper end of the second water diversion rib 33 located at the rear side is connected to the second wall surface 112, and the lower end of the second water diversion rib 33 located at the rear side abuts against the upper side of the second end 22 of the evaporator. Through the arrangement of the two second water diversion ribs 33, the flow path of the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 is blocked from the front and rear sides, preventing the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 from flowing downward along the second wall surface 112, ensuring the water diversion effect of the second water diversion rib 33, and thus improving the user experience.

[0053] Further, the free end of the second water diversion rib 33 interferes and abuts against the second end 22 of the evaporator by 0.5 mm - 1 mm to further ensure the water diversion effect of the second water diversion rib 33.

[0054] Further, the second water diversion rib 33 is arranged to incline forward in the direction from top to bottom so as to better divert the condensed water onto the evaporator 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, the second end 22 of the evaporator has an upper side surface and a lower side surface, and at least two second water diversion ribs 33 are located between the upper side surface and the lower side surface of the second end of the evaporator 2.

[0056] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the second end 22 of the evaporator has a second sealing surface 223, the upper side surface 221 of the second end of the evaporator, the second sealing surface 223, and the lower side surface 222 of the second end of the evaporator are connected in sequence, and the lower end of the second water diversion rib 33 abuts against the second sealing surface 223. The second water diversion rib 33 located at the rear side is arranged adjacent to the upper side surface 221 of the second end of the evaporator, and the second water diversion rib 33 located at the front side is arranged adjacent to the lower side surface 222 of the second end of the evaporator. In this embodiment, by arranging the second water diversion rib 33 between the upper side surface 221 of the second end of the evaporator and the lower side surface 222 of the second end of the evaporator, it is convenient for the second water diversion rib 33 to divert the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 to the evaporator 2, improving the water diversion effect.

[0057] In some embodiments, the water diversion assembly 3 further includes a second water absorption member 34, and the second water absorption member 34 is arranged between the second wall surface 112 and the second end 22 of the evaporator and is located between two adjacent second water diversion ribs 33.

[0058] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the upper end of the second water absorption member 34 abuts against the second wall surface 112, and the lower end of the second water absorption member 34 abuts against a part of the second sealing surface 223 of the second end 22 of the evaporator, realizing the sealed connection between the evaporator 2 and the second wall surface 112.

[0059] When the second water-absorbing member 34 encounters condensed water, it will absorb water. When the second water-absorbing member 34 is in a saturated state, overflow will occur. The overflowed part of the condensed water will flow along the surface of the second wall surface 112. In this embodiment, by arranging the second water diversion ribs 33 on the front and rear sides of the first water-absorbing member 32, the second water diversion ribs 33 divert the overflowed part of the condensed water from the second water-absorbing member 34 to the evaporator 2, preventing the condensed water from flowing out through the air outlet and improving the user experience.

[0060] Furthermore, in this embodiment, through the arrangement of the second water diversion ribs 33, the position of the second water-absorbing member 34 can be limited, standardizing the installation position of the second water-absorbing member 34 and improving the uniformity of the installation position of the second water-absorbing member 34.

[0061] Furthermore, the second water-absorbing member 34 is connected to the second end 22 of the evaporator by an adhesive method.

[0062] Furthermore, the second water-absorbing member 34 is a sponge.

[0063] In some embodiments, the indoor unit body 1 includes a base 12 and a wind guiding frame 13. The wind guiding frame 13 is detachably connected to the base 12. One of the first wall surface 111 and the second wall surface 112 is formed on the base 12, and the other of the first wall surface 111 and the second wall surface 112 is formed on the wind guiding frame 13.

[0064] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown in the embodiment, the wind guiding frame 13 is installed on the base 12. The first wall surface 111 is formed on the base 12, and the second wall surface 112 is formed on the wind guiding frame 13. In this embodiment, by arranging the first water diversion ribs 31 on the base 12 and the second water diversion ribs 33 at the lower end of the wind guiding frame 13, when the evaporator 2 is installed on the base 12, it is convenient for the first end 21 of the evaporator to abut against the base 12 and at the same time convenient for the second end 22 of the evaporator to abut against the wind guiding frame 13, thereby facilitating the installation of the first water-absorbing member 32 and the second water-absorbing member 34 and improving the installation efficiency.

[0065] In some other embodiments, the first wall surface 111 is formed on the air guide frame 13, the second wall surface 112 is formed on the base 12, the first end 21 of the evaporator is the front end of the evaporator 2, the second end 22 of the evaporator is the rear end of the evaporator 2, the first end 21 of the evaporator is opposite to the first wall surface 111 formed on the air guide frame 13, the second end 22 of the evaporator is opposite to the second wall surface 112 formed on the base 12, the first water guiding rib 31 is arranged on the first wall surface 111, and the free end of the first water guiding rib 31 abuts against the lower side of the first end 21 of the evaporator. By abutting the first water guiding rib 31 against the first end 21 of the evaporator, the flow path of the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 can be disconnected, and the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 can be diverted to the evaporator 2; the second water guiding rib 33 is arranged on the second wall surface 112, and the free end of the second water guiding rib 33 abuts against the lower side of the second end 22 of the evaporator. By abutting the second water guiding rib 33 against the second end 22 of the evaporator, the condensed water on the second wall surface 112 can flow towards the evaporator 2 along the extending direction of the second water guiding rib 33 and flow into the water receiving tray 7 along the evaporator 2. Through the arrangement of the first water guiding rib 31 and the second water guiding rib 33, the outflow of the condensed water on the first wall surface 111 and the second wall surface 112 is avoided, and the user experience is improved.

[0066] Furthermore, at least two second water guiding ribs 33 are arranged on the air guide frame 13 to improve the strength of the air guide frame 13.

[0067] Furthermore, the first water guiding rib 31 is integrally formed with the base 12, and the second water guiding rib 33 is integrally formed with the air guide frame 13.

[0068] In some embodiments, the indoor unit body 1 includes an air inlet 14 and an air outlet 15. The air inlet 14 is communicated with the installation cavity 11, the air outlet 15 is communicated with the installation cavity 11, the air inlet 14 is located at the lower end of the indoor unit body 1, and the air outlet 15 is located at the upper end of the indoor unit body 1.

[0069] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the air inlet 14 is arranged at the lower end of the base 12, the evaporator 2 protrudes towards the direction of the air inlet 14, the front end of the air guide frame 13 is open to form the air outlet 15, and the air flow entering the indoor unit 100 from the lower air inlet 14 can exchange heat with the V-shaped wall surface of the evaporator 2. After heat exchange, the air flow is discharged through the air outlet 15, thereby improving the heat exchange effect of the indoor unit 100.

[0070] Since the air inlet 14 is located at the lower end of the base 12 and the front end of the air guide frame 13 is open to form the air outlet 15, the indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure can be installed close to the ceiling or with a reserved installation distance. It can be understood that since the air in the environment does not need to enter the interior of the indoor unit 100 from directly above the base 12, the distance between the indoor unit of the air conditioner and the top wall or ceiling of the room can be greatly reduced or eliminated, thereby improving the indoor space utilization rate, especially for indoor rooms with low heights, it can effectively reduce or eliminate the cramped feeling of the indoor space. Therefore, the indoor unit 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure has very low requirements for the installation space. The installation space only needs to be able to accommodate the indoor unit 100, and there is no need to reserve air inlet space or air outlet space above the indoor unit 100, thereby expanding the scope of application of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0071] In this embodiment, a 20-30 cm installation distance can be reserved between the indoor unit 100 and the top wall or ceiling, which makes it easier to hang the indoor unit 100 on the wall. On the one hand, it can avoid scratches on the upper end surface of the indoor unit 100 during the complete ceiling installation process. On the other hand, the setting of the reserved installation distance does not change the installation method of the indoor unit 100, which makes it easier for the installer to install the indoor unit 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 also includes an evaporator bracket 6 and a water collecting pan 7, which are respectively arranged in the installation cavity 11, and the evaporator 2 is arranged on the evaporator bracket 6. The evaporator bracket 6 includes a bracket body 61 and a water baffle 62, and the water baffle 62 is arranged on one side of the bracket body 61 in the length direction of the indoor unit 100, and the water collecting pan 7 is located at the bottom of the evaporator bracket 6 and the evaporator 2.

[0073] Specifically, the water baffle 62 is provided on the side of the bracket body 61 where the metal tube is located. The water baffle 62 protrudes toward the side of the bracket body 61 away from the evaporator 2. The water baffle 62 is provided on the outer edge of the bracket body 61 and gradually extends toward the lower end of the bracket body 61. The water receiving tray 7 is provided in the mounting cavity 11 and is located below the evaporator bracket 6.
