[0029] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. 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 to the present disclosure.

[0030] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, the air guide frame 100 of the embodiment of the present disclosure is used for an air conditioner. The air guide frame 100 has a fitting portion 1 opposite to one end of the evaporator 200 of the air conditioner. The fitting portion 1 has a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12 oppositely arranged in the thickness direction of the air guide frame 100 (such as the up and down direction shown in Figure 4 ). The first side surface 11 is adjacent to and opposite to one end of the evaporator 200. The fitting portion 1 has a drainage groove 13. The drainage groove 13 penetrates through the air guide frame 100 in the thickness direction of the air guide frame 100 and is used to drain the condensed water on the air guide frame 100 to the evaporator 200 through the drainage groove 13.

[0031] Specifically, the lower end of the air guide frame 100 is opposite to the front end of the evaporator 200. The fitting portion 1 of the air guide frame 100 refers to the portion in contact with the front end of the evaporator 200. The fitting portion 1 is plate-shaped. The fitting portion 1 has a first side surface 11 and a second side surface 12 in the up and down direction. The second side surface 12 is located above the first side surface 11. The fitting portion 1 is provided with a drainage groove 13 penetrating through the fitting portion 1 in the up and down direction.

[0032] The air guide frame 100 is installed on the air conditioner. The rear side of the upper end of the air guide frame 100 is connected to the base 300 of the air conditioner. The front side of the lower end of the air guide frame 100 is connected to the front end of the evaporator 200. An air guide channel 4 is formed between the upper end and the lower end of the air guide frame 100. The front end opening of the air guide channel 4 forms an air outlet 400, that is, the air conditioner has an upper air outlet.

[0033] In the air guide frame 100 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure, a drainage groove 13 penetrating the mating portion 1 in the thickness direction of the air guide frame 100 is formed in the mating portion 1 of the air guide frame 100, and the mating portion 1 is opposed to one end of the evaporator 200. The drainage groove 13 communicates the evaporator 200 and the air guide frame 100, so that the condensed water on the air guide frame 100 can flow to the evaporator 200 through the drainage groove 13 and flow downward along the evaporator 200 to the water receiving tray, facilitating the discharge of the condensed water on the air guide frame 100, improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner, and further improving the user experience.

[0034] Further, in this embodiment, through the arrangement of the drainage groove 13 in the mating portion 1 of the air guide frame 100, it is convenient to guide the condensed water on the air guide frame 100 to the evaporator 200 through the drainage groove 13, avoiding the influence of the condensed water on the air guide frame 100 on other components of the air conditioner, and further avoiding problems such as electric leakage and short circuit of the air conditioner.

[0035] In some embodiments, the drainage groove 13 is a long strip-shaped groove extending along the length direction of the air guide frame 100 (such as Figure 1 the left-right direction shown).

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, by setting the drainage groove 13 as a rectangular groove extending along the left-right direction, the setting of the rectangular groove can increase the flow area of the drainage groove 13 and improve the drainage performance of the drainage groove 13.

[0037] In some embodiments, there are multiple drainage grooves 13, and at least some of the multiple drainage grooves 13 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the air guide frame 100.

[0038] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the multiple drainage grooves 13 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, and can simultaneously guide the condensed water at different positions of the air guide frame 100 in the left-right direction, improving the guiding efficiency of the drainage groove 13.

[0039] In some embodiments, there are at least two rows of drainage grooves 13, and the at least two rows of drainage grooves 13 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the air guide frame 100 (such as Figure 1 the front-back direction shown).

[0040] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, two rows of drain grooves 13 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction on the mating portion 1 of the air guide frame 100. The drain groove 13 located on the front side can divert the condensed water on the front side of the air guide frame 100, and the drain groove 13 located on the rear side can divert the condensed water on the rear side of the air guide frame 100. That is, the two rows of drain grooves 13 can simultaneously divert the condensed water on the air guide frame 100, improving the drainage efficiency of the condensed water on the air guide frame 100.

[0041] Optionally, when there is one row of drain grooves 13, the size of the drain grooves 13 in the front-rear direction can be set to be larger than the size of the drain grooves 13 in the front-rear direction when there are two rows of drain grooves 13, ensuring the structural strength of the air guide frame 100 while improving the drainage efficiency of the drain grooves 13.

[0042] For example, when there is one row of drain grooves 13, the drain groove 13 can be a rectangular groove extending in the left-right direction, or can be a plurality of holes arranged at intervals in the left-right direction. When there are two rows of drain grooves 13, both rows of drain grooves 13 can be set as rectangular grooves extending in the left-right direction, or both rows of drain grooves 13 can be set as a plurality of holes arranged at intervals in the left-right direction; or, one of the two rows of drain grooves 13 is set as a rectangular groove extending in the left-right direction, and the other is set as a plurality of holes arranged at intervals in the left-right direction.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second side surface 12 is provided with a reinforcing rib 2 extending along the length direction of the air guide frame 100, and the drain groove 13 is located on at least one side of the reinforcing rib 2 in the width direction of the air guide frame 100.

[0044] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the second side surface 12 is located above the first side surface 11. By providing the reinforcing rib 2 on the second side surface 12, the structural strength of the mating portion 1 is improved, and thus the structural strength of the air guide frame 100 is improved.

[0045] Furthermore, when there is one row of drain grooves 13, the drain groove 13 is located in front of the reinforcing rib 2, or the drain groove 13 is located behind the reinforcing rib 2. When there are two rows of drain grooves 13, the two rows of drain grooves 13 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction, and the reinforcing rib 2 is located between the two rows of drain grooves 13.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first side surface 11 has a water diversion rib 3, and the free end of the water diversion rib 3 abuts at least against the lower side of one end of the evaporator 200.

[0047] Specifically, as Figure 4As shown, the upper end of the water guiding rib 3 is connected to the first side surface 11, and the lower end of the water guiding rib 3, that is, the free end of the water guiding rib 3, abuts against the front end of the evaporator 200. By providing the water guiding rib 3, the condensed water on the first side surface 11 can be drained to the evaporator 200, preventing the condensed water from flowing along the first side surface 11 and improving the user experience.

[0048] In some embodiments, one end of the evaporator 200 has a recess 240, and the drain groove 13 is provided in the area of the air guide frame 100 opposite to the recess 240.

[0049] In this embodiment, by providing a recess 240 at one end of the evaporator 200 and arranging the drain groove 13 opposite to the recess 240 in the up-down direction, the condensed water flowing downward through the drain groove 13 is received by the recess 240 of the evaporator 200, that is, the condensed water first enters the recess 240 and then enters the evaporator 200 through the recess 240, preventing the condensed water from flowing downward along the outer surface of the evaporator 200 and further preventing the condensed water from dripping from the air inlet of the air conditioner, thus improving the user experience.

[0050] In some embodiments, there are at least two water guiding ribs 3. The free end of one water guiding rib 3 abuts against the lower side of one end of the evaporator 200, and the free end of the other water guiding rib 3 abuts against the upper side of one end of the evaporator 200.

[0051] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the two water guiding ribs 3 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction. One water guiding rib 3 is located at the front side, and the other water guiding rib 3 is located at the rear side. The upper end of the water guiding rib 3 located at the front side is connected to the first side surface 11, and the lower end of the water guiding rib 3 located at the front side abuts against the lower side of the front end of the evaporator 200; the upper end of the water guiding rib 3 located at the rear side is connected to the first side surface 11, and the lower end of the water guiding rib 3 located at the rear side abuts against the upper side of the front end of the evaporator 200.

[0052] In this embodiment, by providing two water guiding ribs 3 arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction, the condensed water on the first side surface 11 is guided from the front and rear sides respectively, preventing the condensed water on the first side surface 11 from flowing downward along the first side surface 11, ensuring the drainage effect of the water guiding rib 3 and improving the user experience.

[0053] Furthermore, the water guiding rib 3 is arranged to be inclined forward in the direction from top to bottom so as to better drain the condensed water onto the evaporator 200.

[0054] Furthermore, at least two water guiding ribs 3 are provided on the air guide frame 100 to improve the strength of the air guide frame 100.

[0055] Furthermore, the free end of the water guiding rib 3 interferes and abuts against the front end of the evaporator 200 by 0.5 mm - 1 mm to further ensure the drainage effect of the water guiding rib 3.

[0056] In some embodiments, one end of the evaporator 200 has an upper side and a lower side, and at least two water guiding ribs 3 are located between the upper side and the lower side of one end of the evaporator 200.

[0057] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, the front end of the evaporator 200 has a connection surface 230. The upper side surface 210 of the evaporator, the connection surface 230, and the lower side surface 220 of the evaporator are connected in sequence. The lower end of the water guiding rib 3 abuts against the connection surface 230. The water guiding rib 3 located at the rear side is arranged adjacent to the upper side surface 210 of the evaporator, and the water guiding rib 3 located at the front side is arranged adjacent to the lower side surface 220 of the evaporator. In this embodiment, by arranging the water guiding rib 3 between the upper side surface 210 of the evaporator and the lower side surface 220 of the evaporator, it is convenient for the water guiding rib 3 to drain the condensed water on the first side surface 11 to the evaporator 200, improving the drainage effect.

[0058] In some embodiments, the drain trough 13 has a first extreme position and a second extreme position in the width direction of the air guiding frame 100. The first extreme position is located at the position of one water guiding rib 3 on the mating portion 1, and the second extreme position is located at the position of another water guiding rib 3 on the mating portion 1.

[0059] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, at least a part of the drain trough 13 is arranged between the front side surface of the water guiding rib 3 located at the front side and the rear side surface of the water guiding rib 3 located at the rear side. The water guiding rib 3 located at the front side defines the front side extreme position of the drain trough 13 on the mating portion 1, and the water guiding rib 3 located at the rear side defines the rear side extreme position of the drain trough 13 on the mating portion 1. That is, the drain trough 13 can be arranged between the two water guiding ribs 3, or at least a part of the drain trough 13 penetrates through the water guiding rib 3 located at the front side, or at least a part of the drain trough 13 penetrates through the water guiding rib 3 located at the rear side.

[0060] For example, the drain trough 13 located at the rear side is located between the two water guiding ribs 3, and at least a part of the drain trough 13 located at the front side penetrates through the front side surface of the water guiding rib 3 located at the front side.

[0061] In this embodiment, the two water guiding ribs 3 define the extreme positions of the drain trough 13 in the front-rear direction, so that the condensed water on the air guiding frame 100 is drained through the drain trough 13. A part of the condensed water directly flows to the evaporator 200, and another part of the condensed water is drained to the evaporator 200 through the water guiding rib 3, avoiding the condensed water flowing downward along the first side surface 11 and improving the diversion effect of the condensed water on the air guiding frame 100.

[0063] In the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a drain groove 13 penetrating the fitting portion 1 in the thickness direction of the air deflector 100 is formed in the fitting portion 1 of the air deflector 100 of the air conditioner, and the fitting portion 1 is opposed to one end of the evaporator 200. The drain groove 13 communicates the evaporator 200 and the air deflector 100, so that the condensed water on the air deflector 100 can flow to the evaporator 200 through the drain groove 13 and flow downward along the evaporator 200 to the water receiving tray, facilitating the discharge of the condensed water on the air deflector 100, improving the safety and reliability of the air conditioner, and further enhancing the user experience.
