Detailed Embodiments

[0027] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The 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 utility model, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present utility model.

[0028] The following will be combined with Figures 1-6 to describe the air conditioner drainage structure according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0029] The air conditioner drainage structure according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 1 and a water guiding component. The base 1 is provided with a bearing seat installation groove 11 at the first end in the first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the base 1. The inner wall surface of the bearing seat installation groove 11 is provided with a first drainage hole 13 that penetrates the base 1 along the first direction. The first drainage hole 13 is used to guide the condensed water in the bearing seat installation groove 11 to the second end of the base 1 in the first direction. The water guiding component is arranged at the second end of the base 1 in the first direction. The water guiding component is connected with the first drainage hole 13 and is used to guide the condensed water in the first drainage hole 13 into the water receiving tray.

[0030] According to the air conditioner drainage structure of the embodiment of the present utility model, the base 1 is provided with a bearing seat installation groove 11 at the first end in the first direction. The inner wall surface of the bearing seat installation groove 11 is provided with a first drainage hole 13 extending to the second end of the base 1 in the first direction. When the condensed water generated on the bearing seat installed in the bearing seat installation groove 11 slides into the bearing seat installation groove 11, the condensed water can be guided to the first drainage hole 13, and is guided by the first drainage hole 13 to the second end of the base 1 in the first direction, and finally is guided into the water receiving tray by the water guiding component, effectively avoiding the direct overflow of the condensed water in the bearing seat installation groove 11 and causing the air conditioner to drip water, and the user experience is good.

[0031] It should be noted that a clamping member is provided in the bearing seat installation groove 11. At least part of the bearing seat extends into the bearing seat installation groove 11 and is clamped with the clamping member. The first direction is the front-back direction of the air conditioner after installation, the second direction is the left-right direction of the air conditioner after installation, and the height direction of the base 1 is the up-down direction of the air conditioner after installation. And the first end and the second end of the base 1 in the first direction are the front end and the rear end of the base 1 respectively.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, a water retaining rib 12 is provided on the inner wall surface of the bearing seat installation groove 11 on the side opposite to the end face of the bearing seat. The water retaining rib 12 is located on the side of the bearing seat facing the first drainage hole 13 in the height direction. The extending direction of the water retaining rib 12 forms an angle with the height direction. The end of the water retaining rib 12 away from the bearing seat in the height direction is connected with the first drainage hole 13.

[0033] After at least part of the bearing seat is clamped with the clamping member in the bearing seat installation groove 11, a guiding channel is formed by surrounding the bearing seat, the water retaining rib 12 and the inner wall surface of the bearing seat installation groove 11. The extending direction of the guiding channel forms an angle with the height direction and the front-back direction. The upper end of the guiding channel is connected to the lower edge of the bearing seat, and the lower end is connected with the first drainage hole 13, so as to better prevent the condensed water from sliding out of the bearing seat installation groove 11 and guide the condensed water into the first drainage hole 13 faster.

[0034] Specifically, the inner wall surface of the bearing seat mounting groove 11 opposite to the end face of the bearing seat is a vertical surface, and the water retaining rib 12 extends obliquely backward and downward.

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figures 4-6 shown, the water diversion assembly includes a water receiving plate 2. The water receiving plate 2 is connected to the second end of the base 1 in the first direction. The water receiving plate 2 and the base 1 surround and form a water receiving groove with an upward opening. The base 1 is provided with a second drain hole 14 communicating the water receiving groove and the water receiving tray. The water receiving groove is located below the first drain hole 13 and can receive the condensed water from the first drain hole 13.

[0036] The water receiving groove formed by surrounding the top surface of the water receiving plate 2 and the rear end face of the base 1 extends in the left - right direction to the left and right ends of the base 1. The water receiving groove is used to receive all the condensed water on the rear end face of the base 1. At this time, the condensed water discharged through the first drain hole 13 also flows into the water receiving groove and flows to the water receiving tray through the second drain hole 14, without the need to additionally provide a structure for guiding this part of the condensed water to the water receiving tray. Thus, the structure of the air - conditioner drainage structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.

[0037] Specifically, the water receiving plate 2 is a V - shaped plate structure with a downward opening, that is, the height at the central position of the water receiving plate 2 in the left - right direction is higher than that at both ends. There are two second drain holes 14, which are respectively located at both ends of the water receiving plate 2 in the left - right direction.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figures 4-7 shown, the water diversion assembly further includes two first water diversion ribs 3. The two first water diversion ribs 3 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first drain hole 13 in the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the height direction. The opposite side surfaces of the two first water diversion ribs 3 are connected to the surface of the second end of the base 1 in the first direction and surround and form a diversion channel 17. The diversion channel 17 connects the first drain hole 13 and the water receiving groove.

[0039] When the condensed water flowing from the first drain hole 13 to the rear end face of the base 1 flows downward under the action of gravity, the two first water diversion ribs 3 effectively change the flow trajectory of the condensed water, avoiding the flow trajectory of the condensed water from being overly inclined and escaping above the water receiving groove, and thus preventing the occurrence of dripping due to the condensed water not being able to flow into the water receiving groove.

[0040] Specifically, both of the two first water diversion ribs 3 are located above the water receiving groove. The two first water diversion ribs 3 generally extend along the height direction. The upper end of the first water diversion rib 3 is higher than the height of the first drain hole 13, and the lower end of the first water diversion rib 3 is adjacent to the water receiving groove but does not contact the water receiving plate 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the top surface of the base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 16 with an upward opening. The inner wall surface of the receiving groove 16 is provided with a third drainage hole 15 extending to the surface of the second end of the base 1 in the first direction. The water receiving groove is located below the third drainage hole 15 and can receive the condensed water from the third drainage hole 15.

[0042] Since the upper end of the base 1 is close to the air duct, the temperature is relatively low, and condensed water is likely to form on the top surface of the base 1. At this time, by providing the receiving groove 16 on the top surface of the base 1, the condensed water can be effectively accumulated, avoiding the phenomenon of dripping caused by the random horizontal flow of the condensed water. And by providing the third drainage hole 15 communicating with the receiving groove 16 and extending to the rear end surface of the base 1, the condensed water in the receiving groove 16 can be guided by the third drainage hole 15 to the rear end surface of the base 1, and finally guided by the water guiding component into the water receiving tray, effectively avoiding the generation of the dripping phenomenon and also preventing the condensed water from accumulating in the receiving groove 16 and being unable to be discharged.

[0043] Specifically, the lower edge of the opening of the third drainage hole 15 at the receiving groove 16 is at the same height as the lowest position of the receiving groove 16, thereby effectively ensuring that the condensed water in the receiving groove 16 is completely discharged.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, there are a plurality of third drainage holes 15 arranged at intervals in the second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the height direction.

[0045] The arrangement of a plurality of third drainage holes 15 arranged at intervals in the left-right direction can divide the condensed water in the receiving groove 16 into multiple portions and discharge them to the rear end surface of the base 1 through different third drainage holes 15. While improving the discharge efficiency of the condensed water, it also effectively avoids the situation where the condensed water cannot be discharged due to an accidental blockage of a certain third drainage hole 15.

[0046] A plurality of third drainage holes 15 are arranged at equal intervals in the left-right direction. The number of the third drainage holes 15 can be five, six, or seven. The top plate portion of the base 1 protrudes from the rear end surface of the base 1. The third drainage hole 15 is located below the top plate, and the inner wall surface of the third drainage hole 15 is connected to the bottom surface of the protruding part of the top plate from the rear end surface of the base 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, as Figures 4-6 shown, the water guiding component further includes a second water guiding rib 4. The second water guiding rib 4 extends in the height direction and is located above the water receiving groove. The second water guiding rib 4 is adapted to guide the condensed water in the third drainage hole 15 into the water receiving groove.

[0048] When the condensed water flowing out from the third drainage hole 15 to the rear end surface of the base 1 flows downward under the action of gravity, when it deviates to the left or right due to the obstruction of dust or tiny protrusions on the rear end surface of the base 1, the second water guide rib 4 can prevent the condensed water from continuing to flow obliquely, and can make the condensed water flow downward along the extension direction of the second water guide rib 4 so as to drip more reliably into the water receiving trough, and the risk of dripping in the air conditioner is reduced.

[0049] Specifically, the lower end of the second water diversion rib 4 is adjacent to the water receiving plate 2 and is separated from the water receiving plate 2, ensuring that the condensed water on the second water diversion rib 4 can drip more reliably into the water receiving trough, while also preventing the second water diversion rib 4 from affecting the flow of condensed water in the water receiving trough toward the second drainage hole 14.

[0050] In some embodiments, there are multiple second water guide ribs 4 and they are spaced apart along the second direction, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the height direction, and the third drainage holes 15 and the second water guide ribs 4 are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0051] The provision of multiple second water guide ribs 4 facilitates the downward flow of condensed water on the rear end surface of the base 1 toward the second water guide ribs 4, allowing it to flow more quickly into the water receiving trough under the guidance of the second water guide ribs 4. Furthermore, the arrangement of the second water guide ribs 4 and the third drainage holes 15, spaced apart in the left-right direction, effectively guides the condensed water on the rear end surface of the base 1, to the left and right of the third drainage holes 15, further preventing the condensed water from flowing freely and increasing the risk of splashing.

[0052] like Figures 4-6 As shown, a plurality of short water diversion ribs are provided on the rear end face of the base 1. The short water diversion ribs extend in the height direction and are arranged at the upper end of the base 1. Any side surface of the inner wall surface of each third drainage hole 15 opposite to the left and right directions is connected to the side surface of a short water diversion rib.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figures 4-6 As shown, the water diversion assembly also includes a third water diversion rib 5, the extension direction of the third water diversion rib 5 forms an acute angle with the second direction, at least part of the lower end of the second water diversion rib 4 is connected to the third water diversion rib 5, and the third water diversion rib 5 is located above the water receiving plate 2.

[0054] When multiple second water guide ribs 4 are provided, only one third water guide rib 5 is required to receive and guide condensed water from at least two second water guide ribs 4, allowing the condensed water to ultimately enter the water receiving trough and, through the second drain hole 14, enter the water receiving pan. This simplifies the air conditioner drainage structure and reduces costs. Furthermore, by arranging the extension direction of the third water guide rib 5 at an acute angle to the left-right direction, condensed water on the third water guide rib 5 is more easily directed in the desired direction, allowing it to more reliably enter the water receiving pan.

[0055] Specifically, the third water guiding rib 5 is adjacent to the two ends of the base 1 in the left-right direction respectively at its two ends in the left-right direction, and the lower end of the second water guiding rib 4 protrudes from the bottom surface of the third water guiding rib 5. In addition, the third water guiding rib 5 can also be inclined obliquely upward to better restrict the flow of condensed water in the front-back direction.
