[0035] The embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure.

[0036] The water receiving tray 3 of the embodiment of the present disclosure has a water receiving groove 31 extending along its length direction (such as Figure 3 the left - right direction shown). The water receiving tray 3 includes a first layer 32 and a second layer 33 arranged in sequence in its thickness direction (such as Figure 4 the up - down direction shown). The surface of the first layer 32 away from the second layer 33 forms the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 3. The surface of the second layer 33 away from the first layer 32 at least partially forms the wall surface of the water receiving groove 31. The outer edge of the first layer 32 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 (such as Figure 3 the front - back direction shown) is clamped with the outer edge of the second layer 33 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3.

[0037] It should be noted that, as Figures 1 - 2 shown, the evaporator 2 and the water receiving tray 3 are arranged at intervals in the up - down direction. The water receiving tray 3 is located below the evaporator 2. When the evaporator 2 is working, since the temperature of the surface of the evaporator 2 is lower than the dew point temperature of the surrounding air, water vapor in the air will condense into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator 2 to form condensate water. The condensate water on the evaporator 2 will flow downward along the surface of the evaporator 2, and the water receiving tray 3 receives the condensate water condensed on the surface of the evaporator 2 during the working process of the evaporator 2.

[0038] Specifically, as Figures 3 - 5 shown, the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 are arranged at intervals in the up - down direction. The lower surface of the first layer 32 and the upper surface of the second layer 33 form the surface of the water receiving tray 3. The lower surface of the first layer 32 is the outer wall surface of the water receiving tray 3, and the upper surface of the second layer 33 is the inner wall surface of the water receiving tray 3. The inner wall surface of the water receiving tray 3 is the peripheral wall surface of the water receiving groove 31.

[0039] The water receiving tank 31 extends in the left - right direction and matches the size of the evaporator 2 in the left - right direction. The size of the water receiving tank 31 in the front - back direction matches the size of the lower end of the evaporator 2 in the front - back direction. A part of the lower end of the evaporator 2 extends into the water receiving tank 31 and there is a distance between the lower end of the evaporator 2 and the bottom wall surface of the water receiving tank 31.

[0040] The outer edge of the first layer 32 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 includes the outer edge of the front end of the first layer 32; or, the outer edge of the rear end of the first layer 32; or, the outer edge of the front end of the first layer 32 and the outer edge of the rear end of the first layer 32. The outer edge of the second layer 33 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 includes the outer edge of the front end of the second layer 33; or, the outer edge of the rear end of the second layer 33; or, the outer edge of the front end of the second layer 33 and the outer edge of the rear end of the second layer 33.

[0041] In the water receiving tray of the embodiment of the present disclosure, the front outer edge of the first layer 32 is clamped with the front outer edge of the second layer 33 and the rear outer edge of the first layer 32 is clamped with the rear outer edge of the second layer 33, realizing the rapid assembly of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33; through the connection of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33, the lower surface of the first layer 32 forms the outer wall surface of the water receiving tray 3, and the upper surface of the second layer 33 forms the inner wall surface of the water receiving tray 3, simplifying the assembly structure of the water receiving tray 3, making it simple and reducing the manufacturing cost of the water receiving tray 3 at the same time.

[0042] Optionally, a connecting portion 37 is provided at the rear side of the lower end of the first layer 32, and the connecting portion 37 is used for connecting with the indoor unit body 1.

[0043] In some embodiments, the outer edge of the first layer 32 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a first clamping portion 321, and the outer edge of the second layer 33 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a second clamping portion 331, and the first clamping portion 321 and the second clamping portion 331 cooperate with each other.

[0044] Specifically, as Figure 6 shown, the outer edge of the first layer 32 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 having a first clamping portion 321 includes that the outer edge of the front end of the first layer 32 has a first clamping portion 321; or, the outer edge of the rear end of the first layer 32 has a first clamping portion 321; or, the outer edge of the front end of the first layer 32 has a first clamping portion 321 and the outer edge of the rear end of the first layer 32 has a first clamping portion 321.

[0045] As Figure 7As shown, the outer edge of the second layer 33 in the width direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a second engaging portion 331, including that the outer edge of the front end of the second layer 33 has a second engaging portion 331; or, the outer edge of the rear end of the second layer 33 has a second engaging portion 331; or, the outer edge of the front end of the second layer 33 has a second engaging portion 331 and the outer edge of the rear end of the second layer 33 has a second engaging portion 331.

[0046] In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the first engaging portion 321 provided at the outer edge of the front end of the first layer 32 and the second engaging portion 331 provided at the outer edge of the front end of the second layer 33, and the cooperation of the first engaging portion 321 provided at the outer edge of the rear end of the first layer 32 and the second engaging portion 331 provided at the outer edge of the rear end of the second layer 33, the connection between the front end of the first layer 32 and the front end of the second layer 33 and the connection between the rear end of the first layer 32 and the rear end of the second layer 33 are realized, facilitating the assembly of the water receiving tray 3 while improving the connection reliability between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33.

[0047] Of course, in this embodiment, a first engaging portion may also be provided at the outer edge of the right end of the first layer 32, and a second engaging portion may be provided at the outer edge of the right end of the second layer 33. Through the cooperation of the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, the engaging of the right side of the first layer 32 and the right side of the second layer 33 is realized, improving the reliability.

[0048] In some embodiments, one of the first engaging portion 321 and the second engaging portion 331 includes a slot 3311, and the other of the first engaging portion 321 and the second engaging portion 331 includes a buckle 3211, and the buckle 3211 is fitted in the slot 3311.

[0049] Specifically, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, one of the first engaging portion 321 and the second engaging portion 331 includes a slot 3311, and the other includes a buckle 3211. It can be understood that the first engaging portion 321 includes a slot 3311 and the second engaging portion 331 includes a buckle 3211; or, the first engaging portion 321 includes a buckle 3211 and the second engaging portion 331 includes a slot 3311.

[0050] The first layer 32 is located at the bottom of the second layer 33. The outer edge of the first layer 32 in the front - rear direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a buckle 3211, that is, the first engaging portion 321 is a buckle 3211. The outer edge of the second layer 33 in the front - rear direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a engaging member, and the engaging member is provided with a slot 3311. The buckle 3211 is fitted in the slot 3311. Through the cooperation of the buckle 3211 and the slot 3311, the assembly of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 is facilitated.

[0051] In some embodiments, there are multiple first engaging portions 321, and the multiple first engaging portions 321 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the water receiving tray 3. There are multiple second engaging portions 331, and the multiple second engaging portions 331 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the water receiving tray 3. The multiple first engaging portions 321 and the multiple second engaging portions 331 correspond to each other one by one.

[0052] Specifically, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the multiple first engaging portions 321 are arranged at intervals in the left - right direction, and the multiple second engaging portions 331 corresponding to the first engaging portions 321 are arranged at intervals in the left - right direction, so that there are multiple engagement points between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 in the left - right direction, improving the connection reliability between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33.

[0053] Optionally, the number of the first engaging portions 321 provided at the front outer edge of the first layer 32 is the same as that of the first engaging portions 321 provided at the rear outer edge of the first layer 32 and they are symmetrically arranged. The number of the second engaging portions 331 provided at the front outer edge of the second layer 33 is the same as that of the second engaging portions 331 provided at the rear outer edge of the second layer 33 and they are symmetrically arranged. For example, the number of the first engaging portions 321 provided at the front outer edge of the first layer 32 and the number of the second engaging portions 331 provided at the front outer edge of the second layer 33 are both four, five, or six.

[0054] In some embodiments, one end face of the first layer 32 in the length direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a first positioning portion 322, and one end face of the second layer 33 in the length direction of the water receiving tray 3 has a second positioning portion 332, and the first positioning portion 322 and the second positioning portion 332 cooperate with each other.

[0055] Specifically, as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the first layer 32 is located at the bottom of the second layer 33. The left - hand end face of the first layer 32 is provided with a first positioning portion 322, and the left - hand end face of the second layer 33 is provided with a second positioning portion 332. Through the cooperation of the first positioning portion 322 and the second positioning portion 332, the movement of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 in the left - right direction is limited, avoiding misalignment between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 resulting in poor drainage, and improving the connection accuracy between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33.

[0056] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 3 further includes a drain nozzle 34. The drain nozzle 34 is provided at the bottom of the first layer 32. The second layer 33 is provided with a drain opening 333, and the drain opening is opposite to and communicated with the drain nozzle 34.

[0057] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, a drain opening 333 penetrating the second layer 33 in the up and down direction is formed on the second layer 33. The drain opening 333 is opposite to and communicated with the drain nozzle 34, facilitating the condensation water collected on the upper surface of the second layer 33 to be guided to the drain nozzle 34 through the drain opening 333.

[0058] In some embodiments, the drain nozzle 34, the first positioning portion 322, and the second positioning portion 332 are located at the same end of the water receiving tray 3 in the length direction of the water receiving tray 3.

[0059] In this embodiment, by arranging the first positioning portion 322 and the drain nozzle 34 on the same side of the water receiving tray 3, and through the cooperation of the first positioning portion 322 and the second positioning portion 332, the matching precision between the drain opening 333 and the drain nozzle 34 is improved, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0060] In some embodiments, a water guiding member 334 extending towards the drain nozzle 34 is provided at the bottom of the second layer 33. The water guiding member 334 has a through hole 3341, and the through hole 3341 is opposite to and communicated with the drain opening 333, and the through hole 3341 extends towards the drain nozzle 34.

[0061] Specifically, as Figures 8 - 9 shown, the water guiding member 334 extends in the up and down direction. At least a part of the lower end of the water guiding member 334 extends into the drain nozzle 34. The upper end of the water guiding member 334 is communicated with the drain opening 333, and the lower end of the water guiding member 334 is communicated with the drain nozzle 34. The condensation water in the second layer 33 is transmitted to the drain nozzle 34 through the drain opening 333 and the through hole 3341 in sequence through the water guiding member 334.

[0062] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 3 further includes a third layer 35. The third layer 35 is located between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33, and the third layer 35 is a heat insulation layer.

[0063] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, the upper end of the third layer 35 contacts the lower surface of the second layer 33, and the lower end of the third layer 35 contacts the upper surface of the first layer 32. By providing a heat insulation layer between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33, the condensation water in the water receiving tray 3 is prevented from directly contacting the outside air, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of increased temperature difference and generation of condensation water, and the heat insulation effect is better.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, by arranging the drain nozzle 34 on the first layer 32 of the water receiving tray 3, it is convenient for the installation of the heat insulation layer.

[0065] Compared with the setting of forming the peripheral wall surface of the water receiving groove 31 by covering a film on the heat preservation layer in the related art, covering a film on the heat preservation layer requires a very thick heat preservation layer to carry out the film covering. The increase in the thickness of the heat preservation layer will increase the width of the water receiving tray 3, thereby affecting the air inlet area of the air conditioner 100. In this embodiment, by arranging a heat preservation layer between the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 and connecting them by snap connection of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33, the width of the water receiving tray 3 can be reduced, thereby increasing the air inlet area of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] For example, the heat preservation layer is plastic or sponge.

[0067] In some embodiments, at least one of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 is a plastic layer.

[0068] Specifically, at least one of the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 being a plastic layer includes the first layer 32 being a plastic layer; or, the second layer 33 being a plastic layer; or both the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 being plastic layers.

[0069] For example, the first layer 32 is integrally injection molded. The second layer 33 is integrally injection molded. In this embodiment, both the first layer 32 and the second layer 33 are plastic layers, reducing the cost of the water receiving tray 3.

[0070] In some embodiments, at least one end of the water receiving tray 3 in its length direction has an extension portion 36 extending along the width direction of the water receiving tray 3. The extension portion 36 is provided with an extension groove 361, and the extension groove 361 communicates with the water receiving groove 31.

[0071] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the water receiving tray 3 extends in the left - right direction, the extension portion 36 extends in the front - back direction, the water receiving tray 3 has a water receiving groove 31, and the extension portion 36 has an extension groove 361 communicating with the water receiving groove 31. The extension portion 36 can be provided at the left end of the water receiving tray 3, or at the right end of the water receiving tray 3, or extension portions 36 can be provided at both the left and right ends of the water receiving tray 3. When the extension portion 36 is located at the left end and / or the right end of the water receiving tray 3, the extension portion 36 can be provided on the front side of the water receiving tray 3, or on the rear side of the water receiving tray 3.

[0072] The number of the extension portions 36 can be two, three or four. When the number of the extension portions 36 is two, one is provided on the front side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3 and the other is provided on the front side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3; or, one is provided on the front side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3 and the other is provided on the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3; or, one is provided on the rear side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3 and the other is provided on the front side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3; or, one is provided on the rear side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3 and the other is provided on the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3.

[0073] When the number of the extension parts 36 is three, two of them are respectively arranged at the front side and the rear side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3, and the third one is arranged at the front side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3; or, two of them are respectively arranged at the front side and the rear side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3, and the third one is arranged at the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3; or, two of them are respectively arranged at the front side and the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3, and the third one is arranged at the front side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3; or, two of them are respectively arranged at the front side and the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3, and the third one is arranged at the rear side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3.

[0074] When the number of the extension parts 36 is four, two of them are respectively arranged at the front side and the rear side of the left end of the water receiving tray 3, and the other two are respectively arranged at the front side and the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3.

[0075] In some embodiments, the extension part 36 includes a first extension part 362 and / or a second extension part 363. The first extension part 362 is arranged at one end of the water receiving tray 3 in the length direction of the water receiving tray 3, and the second extension part 363 is arranged at the other end of the water receiving tray 3 in the length direction of the water receiving tray 3. The extending direction of the first extension part 362 is opposite to that of the second extension part 363.

[0076] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, the first extension part 362 is located at the left end of the water receiving tray 3, and the second extension part 363 is located at the right end of the water receiving tray 3. The first extension part 362 extends backward, and the second extension part 363 extends forward. The first extension part 362 is used to receive the condensed water on the pipeline extending from the end of the evaporator 2, and the second extension part 363 is used to receive the condensed water on the wire clamping assembly on the evaporator 2 bracket and the grounding wire. Through the arrangement of the first extension part 362 and the second extension part 363, the condensed water on the pipeline extending from the end of the evaporator 2 and the condensed water on the wire clamping assembly on the evaporator 2 bracket and the grounding wire can be directly received, avoiding the damage of the condensed water to other components of the air conditioner 100 and avoiding water droplets flowing out of the outdoor unit through the air outlet, and improving the water receiving efficiency.

[0077] Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, a first matching part 38 extending backward is arranged at the rear side of the right end of the water receiving tray 3. The first matching part 38 is used to cooperate with a second matching part on the base of the air conditioner, facilitating the installation of the water receiving tray 3.
