Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to an air-conditioning outdoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, in order to discharge the condensed water generated by the air conditioner out of the air conditioner, the technical means usually adopted are: using a collection box to collect the condensed water, and then placing it on the upper end of the outdoor unit to be blown away by the fan. This method is difficult to ensure the timely discharge of the condensed water. For example, when the air conditioner is continuously cooling, or the casing of the outdoor unit may have some structural gaps, there is a possibility of condensed water leakage, which can easily cause accidental dripping of the outdoor unit. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an air-conditioning outdoor unit and an air conditioner, aiming to reduce the possibility of accidental water dripping from the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the air conditioner outdoor unit proposed in the present invention comprises:

[0005] External unit body;

[0006] A water guide structure is provided on the outdoor unit body, and the water guide structure can guide the condensed water flowing into the air conditioner outdoor unit to be discharged from a preset position.

[0007] In one embodiment, the chassis of the external unit body is provided with a first drainage hole connected to the outside, and the water-guiding structure includes a water pipe, one end of which is connected to the indoor drainage pipe, and the other end is connected to the first drainage hole, and at least a portion of the water pipe is fixed to the chassis.

[0008] In one embodiment, a limiting structure is provided in the external unit body, and the limiting structure is used to arrange the water pipe on the chassis according to a preset path.

[0009] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a first limiting member provided on the chassis, the first limiting member extends along a preset path, the first limiting member and the chassis form a limiting space, and the water pipe is provided in the limiting space.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first limiting member is fixed to the chassis by a first fastener; and / or,

[0011] The first limiting member is welded to the chassis.

[0012] In one embodiment, the limiting structure includes a plurality of second limiting members provided on the chassis, wherein the plurality of second limiting members are arranged at intervals according to a preset path, and the second limiting members press the water pipe against the chassis; and / or, the second limiting members are respectively connected to the water pipe and the chassis.

[0013] In one embodiment, the second position-limiting member is fixed to the chassis via a second fastener; and / or,

[0014] The second limiting member is welded to the chassis; and / or,

[0015] The second limiting member is integrally formed with the water conduit.

[0016] In one embodiment, the water conduit is configured as a hard pipe or a flexible pipe; and / or,

[0017] The external unit body includes an outdoor heat exchanger, and the first drain hole is provided below the outdoor heat exchanger; and / or,

[0018] The water conduit is provided with a plurality of bending sections to avoid other components on the chassis.

[0019] In one embodiment, the water guide structure also includes a water guide tray provided on the outside of the bottom of the external unit body, the water guide tray is used to receive the condensed water discharged from the external unit body, and a second drainage hole is provided on the water guide tray to drain the condensed water in the water guide tray.

[0020] In one embodiment, a water collecting trough is provided at the bottom of the water guide tray, and the bottom of the water collecting trough is lower than other positions of the bottom of the water guide tray, and the second drainage hole is opened at the bottom of the water collecting trough.

[0021] The present invention also proposes an air conditioner, comprising an air conditioner indoor unit, a flexible connection component and the air conditioner outdoor unit as described above, wherein the flexible connection component connects the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit, the flexible connection component comprises a sleeve, and a flexible refrigerant pipe and an indoor drain pipe arranged in the sleeve, and the indoor drain pipe is used to discharge condensed water in the air conditioner indoor unit to the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention utilizes a water-guiding structure within the exterior unit to guide condensed water flowing into the air conditioner's outdoor unit and drain it from a predetermined location. Condensed water from the indoor unit is typically drained directly into the exterior unit. For example, an indoor drain pipe can drain condensed water from the indoor unit to the outdoor heat exchanger within the exterior unit, assisting the heat dissipation process in the air conditioner's cooling mode. The condensed water then drips onto the chassis of the exterior unit, or directly drains onto the chassis before exiting the exterior unit. This drainage method requires the condensed water to remain within the exterior unit, which inevitably creates some mounting gaps within the exterior unit's casing. When the air conditioner continues to operate, excessive condensed water within the exterior unit can easily leak through the mounting gaps within the casing, causing unexpected water leakage from the exterior unit and making the air conditioner's drainage position uncontrollable. Furthermore, the condensed water remains within the exterior unit, which can easily corrode the exterior unit's casing.

[0023] Therefore, a drainage structure is provided, which can guide the condensed water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit to be discharged from a preset position, so that the condensed water of the air-conditioning outdoor unit can only be discharged from the preset position, thereby reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage of the air-conditioning outdoor unit.

[0042] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0045] The present invention provides an air conditioner outdoor unit 100 for use in an air conditioner. The air conditioner includes the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and an air conditioner indoor unit. A flexible connection assembly 200 connects the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, respectively. The air conditioner can be a split-type air conditioner that is easy for users to install individually. The air conditioner uses a refrigerant pipe to connect the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner indoor unit and the outdoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and refrigerant is injected into the refrigerant circuit before the device leaves the factory. In this way, when the user installs the device themselves, they only need to fix the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 separately, without assembling the refrigerant pipe and adding refrigerant, thereby reducing the difficulty of installation and enabling user-installation. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the air conditioner of the present invention can also be an ordinary split-type air conditioner or an integrated air conditioner.

[0046] The flexible connection assembly 200 includes a sleeve, a flexible refrigerant pipe and an indoor drain pipe arranged in the sleeve. The indoor drain pipe is used to discharge condensed water in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to the outdoor unit of the air conditioner 100.

[0047] See also Figures 1 to 14 In one embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 includes:

[0048] External unit main body 1;

[0049] The water guide structure 2 is provided on the outdoor unit body 1 , and the water guide structure 2 can guide the condensed water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 to be discharged from a preset position.

[0050] Specifically, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is used in an air conditioner, which includes the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and the air conditioner indoor unit. The flexible connection assembly 200 connects the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, respectively. The flexible connection assembly 200 may include a flexible refrigerant pipe and an indoor drain pipe, a sleeve sleeved over the flexible refrigerant pipe and the indoor drain pipe, or a sleeve sleeved over the flexible refrigerant pipe, the indoor drain pipe, and an electrical conductor, or a sleeve sleeved over all three. For a split-type air conditioner, the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 need to be connected via a flexible refrigerant pipe and an electrical conductor. To facilitate the discharge of condensed water generated by the air conditioner indoor unit into the room, the indoor drain pipe is typically introduced into the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 along with the flexible refrigerant pipe and the electrical conductor, thereby facilitating the connection between the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 and facilitating the secondary use of the condensed water.

[0051] To facilitate the drainage of condensed water in the air conditioner, the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is generally further provided with an outdoor drain pipe. The indoor drain pipe drains the condensed water in the air conditioner indoor unit into the outdoor unit body 1, and then the outdoor drain pipe drains the condensed water in the outdoor unit body 1. Therefore, one end of the outdoor drain pipe is installed on the outdoor unit body 1, and the other end extends to a predetermined position.

[0052] However, in the prior art, condensed water from the indoor unit of the air conditioner is generally discharged directly into the outdoor unit body 1. For example, an indoor drain pipe can drain the condensed water from the indoor unit of the air conditioner to the outdoor heat exchanger in the outdoor unit body 1 to assist the outdoor heat exchanger in heat dissipation in the cooling mode of the air conditioner. The condensed water then drips onto the chassis 11 of the outdoor unit body 1. Alternatively, the condensed water is directly discharged to the chassis 11 of the outdoor unit body 1 and then discharged from the outdoor unit body 1. This drainage method requires the condensed water to remain in the outdoor unit body 1. The casing of the outdoor unit body 1 inevitably has some installation gaps. When the air conditioner continues to operate, resulting in excessive condensed water in the outdoor unit body 1, the water is likely to drip through the installation gaps in the casing, causing accidental water leakage in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and making the drainage position of the air conditioner uncontrollable. In addition, the condensed water needs to remain in the outdoor unit body 1, which can easily cause corrosion of the casing of the outdoor unit body 1.

[0053] Therefore, a drainage structure is provided that can guide the condensed water flowing into the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 to be discharged from a preset location, thereby ensuring that the condensed water in the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100 can only be discharged from the preset location, thereby reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage from the air-conditioning outdoor unit 100. The drainage structure can be installed inside the outdoor unit body 1. In this case, the condensed water in the indoor drainage pipe can also be passed into a preset water pipe located inside the outdoor unit body 1 and guided by the preset water pipe to the preset location for discharge. In this case, the condensed water will not remain in the outdoor unit body 1. The drainage structure can also be installed outside the outdoor unit body 1, such as by providing a receiving structure on the outside of the outdoor unit body 1 to receive the condensed water flowing out of the outdoor unit body 1 and guide it to the preset location for discharge. Therefore, the preset location can be set on the outdoor unit body 1 or on the water-guiding structure 2 outside the outdoor unit body 1. As long as the condensed water can be guaranteed to flow out from the preset controllable location, it is within the scope of protection of this solution.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 11 In an embodiment of the present invention, the chassis 11 of the outdoor unit body 1 is provided with a first drain hole communicating with the outside. The water-guiding structure 2 includes a water pipe 21, one end of which is connected to the indoor drain pipe and the other end is connected to the first drain hole. At least a portion of the water pipe 21 is fixed to the chassis 11. In other words, the water pipe 21 (preset water pipe) is provided within the outdoor unit body 1 and guides condensed water to a predetermined location for discharge. This prevents condensed water from accumulating within the outdoor unit body 1, thereby reducing the possibility of condensed water seeping through the structural gaps of the outdoor unit body 1 casing, thereby reducing the possibility of accidental water leakage from the air conditioner outdoor unit 100, and also reducing the possibility of corrosion and rust on the chassis 11. The water guide structure 2 also precisely guides condensed water. This "point-to-point" drainage method prevents condensed water discharged from the indoor air conditioner from accumulating within the outdoor air conditioner 100. Regardless of the installation angle of the outdoor air conditioner 100, even if the outdoor air conditioner 100 is tilted due to the installation environment or installation errors, condensed water will not leak from the external housing. One end of the water guide pipe 21 is connected to the indoor drain pipe, and the other end is connected to the first drain hole. Therefore, the water guide hole can be partially fixed to the chassis 11, such as with one end of the water guide pipe 21 extending upward to connect to the indoor drain pipe, and / or with the other end of the water guide pipe 21 extending through the first drain hole, with the remaining portion fixed to the chassis 11. Alternatively, the water guide hole can be completely fixed to the chassis 11, with the indoor drain pipe extending downward to the chassis 11 and connecting to one end of the water guide pipe 21, and the outdoor drain pipe connecting to the other end of the water guide pipe 21 at the first drain hole.

[0055] In this case, the preset position is also the location of the first drain hole. The first drain hole is often located below the outdoor heat exchanger, further facilitating the flow of condensed water from the outdoor heat exchanger into the first drain hole. To facilitate the flow of condensed water on the chassis 11, a guide groove can be provided on the chassis 11. The first drain hole is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the guide groove, thereby guiding the condensed water on the chassis 11 and facilitating its flow into the first drain hole. This also reduces the possibility of accidental condensed water leakage when the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is installed at an angle.

[0056] To ensure the securement of the water conduit 21, in this embodiment, a limiting structure 3 is provided within the outdoor unit body 1. The limiting structure 3 is used to arrange the water conduit 21 along a predetermined path on the chassis 11. The limiting structure 3 can restrict the arrangement direction and arrangement of the water conduit 21, thereby controlling the arrangement of the water conduit 21 along the predetermined path, thereby restricting the flow path of the condensed water and further controlling the flow of the condensed water within the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0057] See also Figures 2 to 5 The limiting structure 3 includes a first limiting member 31 disposed on the chassis 11. The first limiting member 31 extends along a predetermined path. The first limiting member 31 and the chassis 11 form a limiting space, through which the water conduit 21 passes. Specifically, the first limiting member 31 is often configured as an elongated member with a length significantly greater than its width. In this case, the first limiting member 31 and the chassis 11 form a limiting space, through which the water conduit 21 passes, thereby limiting the extension path of the water conduit 21 and securing it.

[0058] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present invention, the limiting space is configured as a limiting groove defined in the first limiting member 31. In this case, the first limiting member 31 is secured to the chassis 11 via a first fastener. During actual installation, the water conduit 21 can be first installed in the limiting groove of the first limiting member 31, and then the first limiting member 31 can be secured to the chassis 11 via the first fastener. This facilitates installation of the first limiting member 31 and ensures its secure fixation. The first limiting member 31 can also be welded or clipped to the chassis 11. Furthermore, the first limiting member 31 can be manufactured using a blow molding process, and the first fastener can be configured as a fastening screw.

[0059] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5In another embodiment of the present invention, the limiting space can be formed by the first limiting member 31 and the chassis 11. In this case, the first limiting member 31 is welded to the chassis 11. During actual installation, the first limiting member 31 can be welded to the chassis 11 to form the limiting space, and then the water conduit 21 can be passed through the limiting space. In this case, the first limiting member 31 can also be fixed to the chassis 11 by a first fastener or clipped to the chassis 11. The first limiting member 31 can be manufactured by a stamping process.

[0060] Compared to fixing the water pipe 21 by only one first limiting member 31, in another embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figures 6 to 11 The retaining structure 3 includes a plurality of second retaining members 32 disposed on the chassis 11. The plurality of second retaining members 32 are arranged at intervals along a predetermined path. The second retaining members 32 press the water conduit 21 against the chassis 11. Alternatively, the second retaining members 32 may connect the water conduit 21 and the chassis 11. Specifically, the plurality of second retaining members 32 are arranged at intervals along a predetermined path, thereby securing the water conduit 21 to the chassis 11 along the predetermined path. This securing arrangement also reduces the space occupied by the second retaining members 32, facilitating installation of the second retaining members 32.

[0061] Among them, see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The second limiting member 32 can press the water pipe 21 against the chassis 11; please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 The second limiting member 32 can also be connected to the water pipe 21 and the chassis 11 respectively, such as one end of the first limiting member 31 is installed on the water pipe 21, and the other end is installed on the chassis 11, or one end of the first limiting member 31 bypasses the water pipe 21 and is fixedly installed on the chassis 11 with the other end.

[0062] To facilitate the installation of the second limiting member 32, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting member 32 is fixed to the chassis 11 by a second fastener, thereby facilitating the installation of the second limiting member 32 and ensuring the fixing stability of the second limiting member 32. The second fastener can be configured as a fastening screw.

[0063] In another embodiment of the present invention, the second limiting member 32 is welded to the chassis 11 , thereby facilitating the fixing of the water pipe 21 .

[0064] In another embodiment of the present invention, the second stopper 32 is integrally formed with the water conduit 21. Specifically, the water conduit 21 is configured as a special-shaped tube, and the second stopper 32 and the water conduit 21 can be supported by a blow molding process. In other embodiments, the second stopper 32 can also be snap-fitted to the chassis 11 or integrally formed with the chassis 11.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water pipe 21 is configured as a flexible pipe, thereby facilitating the arrangement and installation of the water pipe 21 on the chassis 11. Of course, in other embodiments, the water pipe 21 can also be configured as a hard pipe.

[0066] The water conduit 21 is provided with a plurality of bending sections to avoid other components on the chassis 11. Thus, the water conduit 21 can utilize the original space in the outdoor unit body 1 to arrange the water conduit 21, which helps to reduce the size of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100.

[0067] Compared to guiding the condensed water through the water pipe 21, in another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figures 12 to 14 The water guide structure 2 also includes a water guide plate 22 provided on the outside of the bottom of the external unit body 1. The water guide plate 22 is used to receive the condensed water discharged from the external unit body 1, and a second drainage hole 221 is opened on the water guide plate 22 to discharge the condensed water in the water guide plate 22.

[0068] Specifically, the water guide pan 22 is located outside the bottom of the outdoor unit body 1 to receive condensed water discharged from the outdoor unit body 1. This ensures that, regardless of where the condensed water within the outdoor unit body 1 flows out of the casing (from the first drain hole and / or the assembly gap within the casing), it first flows into the water guide pan 22 and is then uniformly discharged from the water guide pan 22 through the second drain hole 221. Therefore, the installation angle of the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 does not need to be considered. Even if the air conditioner outdoor unit 100 is tilted due to the installation environment or installation errors, condensed water will not leak from the outdoor unit casing. Compared to using a water guide pipe 21 to guide the condensed water, this solution facilitates the assembly of the outdoor unit body 1.

[0069] Furthermore, a water collecting groove 222 is provided at the bottom of the water guide pan 22, and the bottom of the water collecting groove 222 is lower than other locations on the bottom of the water guide pan 22, and a second drain hole 221 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting groove 222. Specifically, the bottom of the water collecting groove 222 is lower than other locations on the bottom of the water guide pan 22, so that condensed water flowing into the water guide pan 22 flows into the water collecting groove 222 due to its own weight, thereby reducing the accumulation of condensed water in other locations on the water guide pan 22. Furthermore, the second drain hole 221 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting groove 222, thereby further facilitating the drainage of condensed water.

[0070] The present invention also provides an air conditioner comprising an indoor unit, a flexible connection assembly 200, and an outdoor unit 100. The specific structure of the outdoor unit 100 is similar to the above-described embodiments. Since the present air conditioner utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the above-described embodiments, it at least possesses all of the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, and therefore, no further description is given herein. The flexible connection assembly 200 connects the indoor unit and the outdoor unit 100.

[0071] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
