The heat exchanger in an air conditioner produces condensed water during operation. To prevent this condensed water from entering the air conditioner, a drain pan is installed below the heat exchanger to collect and drain it.
[0003] However, in the prior art, the water receiving tray cannot meet the strength requirements and is prone to deformation. Utility Model Content

[0050] The present application is described below with reference to specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0051] The water receiving tray and air conditioner provided in this embodiment are intended to at least to some extent solve the technical problem that the water receiving tray cannot meet the strength requirements and is prone to deformation.
[0052] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of a water receiving tray in some embodiments; Figure 5 for Figure 1 Front view of the middle water tray; Figure 6 for Figure 5 CC sectional view; Figure 7 for Figure 1 A top view of the middle water tray; Figure 8 for Figure 7 Middle DD section view. Figure 1 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The water receiving tray of the embodiment of the present application includes: a main body 10, a first reinforcement member 20 and a third reinforcement member 30. The main body 10 has a first baffle 101 and a second baffle 102. Along the first direction, the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The first reinforcement member 20 is provided on the main body 10. The second reinforcement member 30 is provided on the main body 10. Along the first direction, the second reinforcement member 30 and the first reinforcement member 20 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The main body 10 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the second direction, the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on the first side, the first reinforcement member 20 and the second reinforcement member 30 are located on the second side, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.
[0053] The baffle may be located at the edge of the body 10 .
[0054] The body 10 may be rectangular, the first direction may be the width direction of the body 10 , and the second direction may be the depth direction of the body 10 .
[0055] Taking a spatial rectangular coordinate system as an example, the first direction may be the y direction, and the second direction may be the z direction.
[0056] Since the main body 10 has a first baffle 101 and a second baffle 102, and the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the first direction, and the first reinforcement 20 is arranged on the main body 10, the first reinforcement 20 can improve the stability of the main body 10, effectively disperse the load and stress, and increase the mechanical properties of the main body 10 such as bending resistance and torsion resistance, so that the main body 10 can bear a greater weight or withstand a stronger external force without being damaged, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the main body 10 and improving the service life of the main body 10. Since the second reinforcement 30 is arranged on the main body 10, and the second reinforcement 30 and the first reinforcement 20 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the first direction, the second reinforcement 30 can improve the stability of the main body 10, effectively disperse the load and stress, and increase the mechanical properties of the main body 10 such as bending resistance and torsion resistance, thereby enabling the main body 10 to bear a greater weight or withstand a stronger external force without being damaged, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the main body 10 and improving the service life of the main body 10. The structural strength of the main body 10 is improved, and the service life of the main body 10 is prolonged. The main body 10 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other along the second direction, the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on the first side, and the first reinforcement 20 and the second reinforcement 30 are located on the second side. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. Therefore, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the main body 10, the first reinforcement 20 and the second reinforcement 30 together constitute an "H"-shaped structure, so that the water receiving tray forms a stable frame. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the main body 10, the first reinforcement 20 and the second reinforcement 30 can jointly share the external force and disperse the external force so that the external force is not concentrated on a certain point or a certain area of the water receiving tray, thereby ensuring the structural strength, pressure resistance and bending resistance of the water receiving tray, making the water receiving tray not easy to deform or break, extending the service life of the water receiving tray, and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.
[0057] Combine Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, along the second direction, the projection of the first reinforcement 20 on the main body 10 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first baffle 101 on the main body 10. That is, the first baffle 101 is located in the extension direction of the first reinforcement 20, and a double-reinforced structure is formed in this area of the main body 10. Through the interaction between the first reinforcement 20 and the first baffle 101, the compression, bending and shear resistance of the area are improved. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the water receiving tray is not easily deformed or damaged. Moreover, stress will be transmitted between the first reinforcement 20 and the first baffle 101, which can effectively guide the stress distribution and make the stress more evenly dispersed throughout the structure, thereby reducing stress concentration and reducing the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress.
[0058] Combine Figure 6 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, along the second direction, the projection of the second reinforcement 30 on the main body 10 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second baffle 102 on the main body 10, that is, the second baffle 102 is located in the extension direction of the second reinforcement 30, and a double-reinforced structure is formed in this area of the main body 10. Through the interaction between the second reinforcement 30 and the second baffle 102, the compression, bending and shear resistance of the area are improved. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the water receiving tray is not easily deformed or damaged. Moreover, stress will be transmitted between the second reinforcement 30 and the second baffle 102, which can effectively guide the stress distribution and make the stress more evenly dispersed throughout the structure, thereby reducing stress concentration and reducing the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress.
[0059] In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the first reinforcement 20, the second reinforcement 30 and the main body 10 are integrally formed, so that the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the first reinforcement 20, the second reinforcement 30 and the main body 10 are closely connected in the same manufacturing process, without additional connection points or seams, achieving seamless connection, enhancing the structural integrity of the water receiving tray, so that each component can resist external pressure and deformation as a whole, and also ensuring sealing to avoid leakage of condensed water received by the main body 10. Moreover, the strength and rigidity of the water receiving tray are improved, making the water receiving tray less likely to be deformed or damaged. At the same time, the manufacturing process can be simplified, the assembly steps and the number of parts required in the manufacturing process are reduced, and the production cost and manufacturing cycle are reduced.
[0060] In some embodiments, the first baffle 101, the second baffle 102, the first reinforcement 20, the second reinforcement 30 and the main body 10 can be integrally formed by injection molding, and the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are located on the first side, and the first reinforcement 20 and the second reinforcement 30 are located on the second side. That is to say, the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 and the first reinforcement 20 and the second reinforcement 30 are respectively located on the opposite sides of the main body 10, which can reduce the height of the first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 in the second direction, so that the flange is relatively short, the amount of concave is reduced, and the structural strength and shape stability of the water receiving tray are ensured.
[0061] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the arrangement of the first reinforcement member; Figure 4 for Figure 3 The enlarged diagram of point B in the middle. Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, to ensure that the first reinforcement member 20 enhances the stability of the body 10, the first reinforcement member 20 is provided with a plurality of first grooves 201 spaced parallel to each other along the third direction. The first openings of the first grooves 201 are oriented in the first direction, and the first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to each other. The plurality of first grooves 201 form a plurality of "rib"-like structures on the first reinforcement member 20. When the water tray is subjected to external forces, the first grooves 201 can effectively resist bending and deformation, thereby enhancing the structural rigidity of the first reinforcement member 20 and the water tray. Furthermore, stress is propagated along the edges and bottom of the first grooves 201, thereby dispersing it over a larger area, thereby reducing stress concentration and lowering the risk of structural failure due to excessive localized stress. Simultaneously, the weight of the water tray can be reduced while reducing structural strength, thereby achieving lightweighting, reducing material usage, and lowering costs. The third direction can be the length of the body 10. For example, in a rectangular coordinate system, the third direction can be the x-direction.
[0062] In some embodiments, along the third direction, the first groove 201 has two oppositely arranged first side walls, and the two first side walls can resist the external force of the water receiving tray from the second direction. Along the second direction, the first groove 201 has two oppositely arranged second side walls, and the two second side walls are connected to the two first side walls. The two second side walls can pull the two first side walls to resist the external force of the two first side walls from the second direction, avoid deformation of the two first side walls, and ensure the structural strength of the first reinforcement 20.
[0063] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to prevent condensation, a thermal insulation member is bonded to the outside of the water tray. To facilitate bonding of the thermal insulation member, the first reinforcement member 20 has multiple protrusions 202 along the third direction. Each protrusion 202 defines a first groove 201. The ends of the protrusions 202 facing away from the first groove 201 provide a bonding area for the thermal insulation member, facilitating bonding. Furthermore, the multiple protrusions 202, as part of the first reinforcement member 20, can disperse stress when the water tray is subjected to external forces, reducing direct impact on the main body 10 and enhancing the overall structural strength of the water tray. The thermal insulation member can be a sponge.
[0064] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the water receiving tray further includes a connector 40. The connector 40 is connected to two adjacent protrusions 202 at each end. The connector 40 serves as an additional support structure, firmly connecting the adjacent protrusions 202 together, so that the connector 40 and the two adjacent protrusions 202 form a stable integral structure. Stress can be transferred and dispersed between the adjacent protrusions 202 through the connector 40, thereby avoiding excessive concentration of stress on a single protrusion 202 or in a local area. This effectively disperses the stress of the water receiving tray when subjected to external forces, reduces the risk of structural damage caused by local stress concentration, and improves the overall structural strength of the water receiving tray. Furthermore, the connector 40 can provide an adhesive area for the thermal insulation component to facilitate bonding, increase the bonding area between the thermal insulation component and the water receiving tray, and ensure the stability of the thermal insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. The width of the connector 40 is greater than 5 mm.
[0065] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further enhance the structural strength of the water tray, the water tray further comprises a third reinforcement member 50. The third reinforcement member 50 is connected to the body 10 and the protrusion 202 away from the first baffle 101. The third reinforcement member 50 serves as an additional support structure, directly connecting the body 10 and the protrusion 202 to form a stable structure. When subjected to external forces, stress can be more effectively transferred and dispersed between the body 10 and the protrusion 202 through the third reinforcement member 50, avoiding excessive concentration of stress in a local area. This can enhance the overall structural strength of the water tray, enable the water tray to better resist external forces, and reduce the risk of deformation and damage to the water tray.
[0066] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further enhance the structural strength of the water tray, the water tray further comprises a fourth reinforcement member 60. The fourth reinforcement member 60 is connected to the body 10 and the first reinforcement member 20 and is located between two adjacent first grooves 201. The area between the two adjacent first grooves 201 provides additional support, preventing deformation or damage to the water tray due to stress concentration, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the water tray. Furthermore, the fourth reinforcement member 60 provides an adhesive area for the thermal insulation member, facilitating bonding of the thermal insulation member, increasing the bonding area between the thermal insulation member and the water tray, and ensuring the stability of the thermal insulation member bonded to the water tray.
[0067] In some embodiments, the number of fourth reinforcement members 60 can be multiple, and the multiple fourth reinforcement members 60 are arranged at intervals along the third direction. One of the multiple fourth reinforcement members 60 can be located at the edge of the first groove 201 to increase the depth of the first groove 201, further ensuring the structural strength of the water tray.
[0068] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to facilitate bonding of the thermal insulation component, the water receiving tray further includes an adhesive component 70. The adhesive component 70 is connected to the end of the first reinforcement component 20 facing away from the first baffle 101 and to the fourth reinforcement component 60. The adhesive component 70 provides an adhesive area for the thermal insulation component to facilitate bonding of the thermal insulation component, increases the bonding area between the thermal insulation component and the water receiving tray, and ensures the stability of the thermal insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. At the same time, the fourth reinforcement component 60, the adhesive component 70, the main body 10, and the first reinforcement component 20 are connected to form a complete structure. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, stress can be transferred between the fourth reinforcement component 60, the adhesive component 70, the main body 10, and the first reinforcement component 20 to achieve stress dispersion, further ensuring the structural strength of the water receiving tray.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first baffle 101 and the adhesive 70 both have flanges, and the thermal insulation component can be bonded between the two flanges. The thermal insulation component is limited by the two flanges to facilitate the bonding of the thermal insulation component. At the same time, the structural strength of the first baffle 101 and the adhesive 70 can also be ensured.
[0070] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the first reinforcement 20 can enhance the stability of the main body 10, the first reinforcement 20 is provided with a plurality of second grooves 203 arranged in parallel and spaced apart along the third direction, and the second openings of the second grooves 203 are arranged toward the second direction. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. The plurality of second grooves 203 can form a plurality of "rib"-like structures on the first reinforcement 20, which can effectively resist bending and deformation when the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, thereby enhancing the structural stiffness of the first reinforcement 20 and the water receiving tray. Moreover, the stress will propagate along the edge and bottom of the second groove 203, thereby dispersing it to a larger area, so as to reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the weight of the water receiving tray can be reduced while reducing the structural strength, thereby achieving lightweight, reducing the amount of material used, and reducing costs.
[0071] In some embodiments, along the first direction, the second groove 203 has two oppositely arranged third side walls, and the two third side walls can resist the external force of the water receiving tray from the first direction. Along the third direction, the second groove 203 has two oppositely arranged fourth side walls, and the two fourth side walls are connected to the two third side walls. The two fourth side walls can pull the two third side walls to resist the external force of the two third side walls from the first direction, avoid deformation of the two third side walls, and ensure the structural strength of the first reinforcement 20.
[0072] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to form the second groove 203, the first reinforcement 20 has a plurality of protrusions 202 along the third direction, and each two adjacent protrusions 202 are arranged at intervals to form the second groove 203. The alternating arrangement of the protrusions 202 and the second grooves 203 can enhance the rigidity of the first reinforcement 20. The protrusions 203 serve as support points to resist external pressure and deformation, while the second grooves 203 help to disperse stress and prevent damage caused by stress concentration, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the first reinforcement 20.
[0073] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, to further enhance the structural strength of the water tray, the water tray further comprises a fifth reinforcement member 80. The fifth reinforcement member 80 is located within the second groove 203 and connects to two adjacent protrusions 202. Serving as an additional support structure, the fifth reinforcement member 80 securely connects the adjacent protrusions 202, forming a stable, integrated structure. Stress is transferred and dispersed between the second groove 203 and the adjacent protrusions 202 via the fifth reinforcement member 80, thereby preventing excessive stress concentration on a single protrusion 202 or in a localized area. This effectively disperses stress when the water tray is subjected to external forces, reduces the risk of structural damage caused by localized stress concentration, and enhances the overall structural strength of the water tray. Furthermore, the fifth reinforcement member 80 provides an adhesive area for the thermal insulation member, facilitating bonding, increasing the bonding area between the thermal insulation member and the water tray, and ensuring the stability of the thermal insulation member's bonding to the water tray. The fifth reinforcement member 80 can be arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the connector 40.
[0074] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the convex portion 202 is provided with a first groove 201, and the first opening of the first groove 201 is set in the first direction. The first groove 201 and the second groove 203 are staggered to form a more complex support structure, which can disperse the external load and reduce stress concentration, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the entire water receiving tray. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the staggered first groove 201 and the second groove 203 can restrain each other and limit each other's deformation, so that the water receiving tray can maintain good shape stability when subjected to external force, reducing the risk of deformation and damage.
[0075] In some embodiments, the first reinforcement member 20 is provided with a first groove 201 and a second groove 203, which can ensure the strength and deformation resistance of the water receiving tray and reduce the overall thickness of the water receiving tray. Compared with the previously used ABS (AcrylonitrileButadieneSyrene plastic) material, PP (polypropylene) material can be used as a substitute. Since PP material is cheaper and has a lower density, it can reduce the cost by more than 25% compared with ABS material, thereby achieving the purpose of cost reduction.
[0076] In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the spacing between two adjacent first grooves 201 is less than 100 mm and greater than 30 mm, and the spacing between two adjacent second grooves 203 is less than 100 mm and greater than 30 mm. This can maximize the structural strength of the water receiving tray while ensuring effective utilization of materials. Moreover, the distribution of the first grooves 201 and the second grooves 203 can be neither too dense nor too sparse, and an effective support network can be formed. When the water receiving tray is subjected to external force, the first grooves 201 and the second grooves 203 can serve as stress dispersion points to evenly transfer the external force to the entire structure, thereby improving the water receiving tray's anti-deformation ability.
[0077] In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the connecting member 40, the third reinforcement member 50, the fourth reinforcement member 60, the fifth reinforcement member 70 and the first reinforcement member 20 are integrally formed, so that the connecting member 40, the third reinforcement member 50, the fourth reinforcement member 60, the fifth reinforcement member 70 and the first reinforcement member 20 are closely connected in the same manufacturing process, without additional connection points or seams, achieving seamless connection, enhancing the structural integrity of the water receiving tray, and enabling each component to resist external pressure and deformation as a whole. Moreover, the strength and rigidity of the water receiving tray are improved, making the water receiving tray less likely to be deformed or damaged. At the same time, the manufacturing process can be simplified, the assembly steps and the number of parts required in the manufacturing process are reduced, and the production cost and manufacturing cycle are reduced.
[0078] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A in the middle is an enlarged schematic diagram; Figure 9 for Figure 1 Rear view of the middle water tray; Figure 10 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional view of the first reinforcement portion of the middle water receiving tray; Figure 11 for Figure 9 A cross-sectional view of the second reinforcement portion of the middle water tray. Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the first reinforcement 20 can improve the stability of the main body 10, the second reinforcement 30 includes: multiple first reinforcement parts 301 and multiple second reinforcement parts 302, and the multiple first reinforcement parts 301 and the multiple second reinforcement parts 302 are staggered. That is, the second reinforcement part 302 is located between two adjacent first reinforcement parts 301 and connected to the two adjacent first reinforcement parts 301. The multiple first reinforcement parts 301 are all connected to the main body 10, and the multiple second reinforcement parts 302 are all connected to the main body 10. The staggered arrangement of the first reinforcement parts 301 and the second reinforcement parts 302 forms a stable support network and is tightly connected to the main body 10, which can effectively disperse and resist external loads, thereby improving the stability of the main body 10. Moreover, the overall material thickness of the water receiving tray can be increased, the structural rigidity of the water receiving tray can be enhanced, and the water receiving tray can be prevented from being deformed or damaged when subjected to external force, thereby ensuring the service life of the water receiving tray.
[0079] Combine Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, to ensure the structural strength of the water tray, the first reinforcement portion 301 and the second reinforcement portion 302 each include a support portion 3011, a connection portion 3012, an adhesive portion 3013, and a flange portion 3014. The support portion 3011 is connected to the body 10. The connection portion 3012 is connected to the support portion 3011 at an angle. The adhesive portion 3013 is connected to the end of the connection portion 3012 facing away from the support portion 3011 at an angle and extends away from the body 10. The flange portion 3014 is connected to the end of the adhesive portion 3013 facing away from the connecting portion 3012 at an angle. The flange portion 3014 and the support portion 3011 are respectively located on opposite sides of the adhesive portion 3013. Through the cooperation of the support portion 3011, the connecting portion 3012, the adhesive portion 3013, and the flange portion 3014, the load and stress can be effectively dispersed, and the mechanical properties such as bending resistance and torsion resistance of the main body 10 can be improved. This allows the main body 10 to carry a greater weight or withstand stronger external forces without damage, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the main body 10 and increasing the service life of the main body 10. The angle between the connecting portion 3012 and the support portion 3011 can be acute, right, or obtuse, and the angle between the adhesive portion 3013 and the connecting portion 3012 can be acute, right, or obtuse.
[0080] Combine Figure 10 and Figure 11In some embodiments, the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the first reinforcement portion 301 is smaller than the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the second reinforcement portion 302. Therefore, the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the first reinforcement portion 301 is shorter, so that the flange portion 3014 of the first reinforcement portion 301 is close to the connecting portion 3012, so that the connecting portion 3012 of the first reinforcement portion 301 can resist the force exerted on the flange portion 3014 of the first reinforcement portion 301, reduce the outward expansion or inward concavity of the flange portion 3014 of the first reinforcement portion 301, and ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray. At the same time, the bonding portion 3013 of the first reinforcement portion 301 can provide a bonding area for the thermal insulation component to facilitate the bonding of the thermal insulation component, thereby ensuring the stability of the thermal insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. The width of the bonding portion 3013 of the second reinforcement portion 302 is longer, which can provide a sufficient bonding area for the thermal insulation component to facilitate the bonding of the thermal insulation component, increase the bonding area between the thermal insulation component and the water receiving tray, and ensure the stability of the thermal insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray. At the same time, the bonding portion 3013 of the second reinforcement portion 302 can resist the force from the second direction of the water receiving tray, avoid deformation of the two water receiving trays, and ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray.
[0081] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the thermal insulation component being bonded to the water receiving tray, the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the first reinforcement portion 301 may be 5 mm to 10 mm.
[0082] In some embodiments, in order to achieve sufficient bonding between the thermal insulation component and the bonding portion 3013 of the second reinforcement portion 302 , the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the second reinforcement portion 302 may be greater than the width of the bonding portion 3013 of the first reinforcement portion 301 by more than 5 mm.
[0083] Combine Figure 9In some embodiments, in order to further ensure the structural strength of the water receiving tray, the first reinforcement portion 301 and the second reinforcement portion 302 further include: a first reinforcement rib 3015 and a second reinforcement rib 3016. The first reinforcement rib 3015 is connected to the support portion 3011, the body 10 and the connection portion 3012. The second reinforcing rib 3016 is connected to the first reinforcing rib 3015 at an angle and is connected to the main body 10. The first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016 serve as additional supporting structures, providing additional strength to the water receiving tray, which can improve the overall rigidity of the water receiving tray, so that the water receiving tray can better resist deformation and distortion when subjected to external forces. Moreover, when the water receiving tray is subjected to external forces, the stress can be gradually dispersed to the entire structure through the guidance of the first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016. The first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016 can make the stress more evenly distributed inside the water receiving tray, thereby avoiding damage caused by local stress concentration. At the same time, the first reinforcing rib 3015 and the second reinforcing rib 2016 can provide a bonding area for the thermal insulation component to facilitate the bonding of the thermal insulation component, increase the bonding area between the thermal insulation component and the water receiving tray, and ensure the stability of the thermal insulation component bonded to the water receiving tray.
[0084] Combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the main body 10 has a first side plate 103 and a second side plate 104. The first baffle 101, the first side plate 103, the second baffle 102 and the second side plate 104 are connected end to end in sequence to form a water receiving area. The first side plate 103 is provided with a water outlet 105 connected to the water receiving area. The water outlet 105 is located outside the water receiving area to discharge the condensed water received by the water receiving area.
[0085] Figure 12 for Figure 1 Side view of the middle water tray. Figure 1 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, in order to ensure the structural strength of the second side plate 104, the second side plate 104 is provided with a third groove 106. The third groove 106 is closer to the second reinforcement 30 than the first reinforcement 20. The third groove 106 can enhance the structural rigidity of the second side plate 104. Moreover, the stress will propagate along the edge and bottom of the third groove 106, thereby dispersing it to a larger area, so as to reduce stress concentration and reduce the risk of structural failure due to excessive local stress. At the same time, the weight of the water tray can be reduced while reducing the structural strength, thereby achieving lightweight, reducing the amount of material used, and reducing costs.
[0086] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 12In some embodiments, to further ensure the structural strength of the second side plate 104, the water tray further includes a sixth reinforcement member 90. The sixth reinforcement member 90 is connected to the second side plate 104 and located within the third groove 106. This reinforcement member 90 ensures the structural strength of the second side plate 104, effectively dissipates loads and stresses, and improves the bending and torsional mechanical properties of the second side plate 104, thereby extending the service life of the second side plate 104.
