[0043] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the fluid path switching assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1 , a flow guide 2 and a driver 3 .

[0045] The frame 1 can be made of plastic, metal, etc. and can be integrally formed. The frame 1 can provide a mounting base for the flow guide 2 and the driver 3, thereby facilitating the integrated arrangement of the fluid path switching assembly 100.

[0046] The guide member 2 is provided with a liquid storage tank 21 for storing liquid, and the guide member 2 is rotatably assembled on the frame 1 and has a first position and a second position. In the first position, the guide member 2 abuts against one side of the frame 1 and is used to discharge liquid to one side of the frame 1. In the second position, the guide member 2 abuts against the other side of the frame 1 and is used to discharge liquid to the other side of the frame 1.

[0047] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the material of the guide member 2 can be plastic, and the guide member 2 can be processed and formed by integral injection molding. The guide member 2 as a whole can be a groove-shaped structure, and the internal space of the guide member 2 forms a liquid storage tank 21. The guide member 2 can be rotatably assembled with the frame 1 through structures such as a pivot, and the guide member 2 can be generally located above the frame 1.

[0048] When in use, the flow guide 2 can swing left and right relative to the frame 1. When the flow guide 2 swings to the left, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the guide member 2 can be switched to the first position. At this time, the condensed water and other liquids stored in the liquid storage tank 21 can flow out to the left side, thereby meeting the need to discharge the liquid to the left side of the frame 1.

[0049] When the guide member 2 swings to the right, Figure 3 As shown, the guide member 2 can be switched to the second position. At this time, the condensed water and other liquids stored in the liquid storage tank 21 can flow out to the right side, thereby meeting the need to discharge the liquid to the right side of the frame 1.

[0050] The driver 3 is provided on the frame 1 and connected to the guide member 2, and the driver 3 is used to drive the guide member 2 to switch to the first position or the second position. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the driver 3 can be a motor, etc. The driver 3 can be fixed on the frame 1, and the driving shaft of the driver 3 can be connected and fixed to the guide member 2. When in use, the rotation of the driving shaft of the driver 3 can drive the guide member 2 to swing, thereby meeting the need for the guide member 2 to switch back and forth between the first position and the second position.

[0051] The liquid path switching assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention can discharge the generated condensed water and other liquids in different directions, thereby meeting the need of discharging the liquid to different containers for storage, avoiding the situation in the prior art where condensed water overflows when water is stored in only a single container such as a water receiving tray, and improving the water storage capacity.

[0052] In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 21 extends along a first direction and passes through the guide member 2 . The driving shaft of the driver 3 is connected to the guide member 2 , and the driving shaft extends along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0053] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first direction can be the left-right direction, and the second direction can be the front-back direction. The liquid reservoir 21 can be a substantially rectangular groove, and the liquid reservoir 21 can extend through the guide member 2 in the left-right direction. The drive shaft of the driver 3 can be a motor shaft, and the drive shaft can extend in the front-back direction. The drive shaft can pass through the rear side of the frame 1 and be fixedly connected to the guide member 2, thereby meeting the need to drive the guide member 2 to swing in the left-right direction and simplifying the drive arrangement of the driver 3 and the guide member 2.

[0054] In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 21 includes a first tank section 211 and a second tank section 212 in the first direction, the connection between the first tank section 211 and the second tank section 212 protrudes toward the drive shaft, and the extension direction of the first tank section 211 and the extension direction of the second tank section 212 form an obtuse angle.

[0055] For example, Figure 2 As shown, according to the different extension directions, the liquid storage tank 21 can be divided into two tank sections in the left and right directions, and the two tank sections are the first tank section 211 and the second tank section 212, wherein the first tank section 211 can be located on the left side of the second tank section 212 and connected to the second tank section 212.

[0056] The first slot segment 211 and the second slot segment 212 are V-shaped as a whole. The connection between the first slot segment 211 and the second slot segment 212 can protrude downward, and the angle β formed by the extension direction of the first slot segment 211 and the extension direction of the second slot segment 212 is an obtuse angle, that is, the angle β is greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees.

[0057] Therefore, when the guide member 2 is switched to the first position, Figure 2As shown, since the first groove section 211 and the second groove section 212 are at an obtuse angle, at this time, the first groove section 211 can extend downwardly and tilted to the left, and the second groove section 212 will be raised and can prevent the liquid from flowing to the right, thereby meeting the need for liquid to be discharged to the left.

[0058] When the guide member 2 is switched to the second position, Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the first groove section 211 will be raised and can prevent the liquid from flowing to the left, and the second groove section 212 can be tilted and extended downward to the right, thereby meeting the need for liquid to be discharged to the right.

[0059] In some embodiments, the first slot section 211 swings around the drive shaft at an angle of 10 to 30 degrees. Figure 3 As shown, the first slot segment 211 can swing up and down on the left side driven by the driver 3, and the swing angle can be an included angle γ2, which can be 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 16 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, etc.

[0060] In some embodiments, the swing angle of the second slot section 212 around the drive shaft is 10 degrees to 30 degrees. Figure 2 As shown, the second slot segment 212 can swing up and down on the right side driven by the driver 3, and the swing angle can be an included angle γ1, which can be 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 16 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, etc.

[0061] Optionally, the swing angle γ2 of the first slot segment 211 may be 10 degrees, and the swing angle γ1 of the second slot segment 212 may be 20 degrees.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first trough section 211 is used to transport liquid to the chassis 500 of the air-conditioning equipment when it abuts against the frame 1, and the second trough section 212 is used to transport liquid to the water tank 200 of the air-conditioning equipment when it abuts against the frame 1, and the width dimension of the first trough section 211 in the second direction is less than or equal to the width dimension of the second trough section 212 in the second direction.

[0063] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the width dimension of the first slot segment 211 can be dimension L1, and the width dimension of the second slot segment 212 can be dimension L2. Dimension L1 can be smaller than dimension L2 as a whole, wherein dimension L1 can gradually decrease from right to left, while dimension L2 can remain unchanged in the left and right directions.

[0064] During assembly, the first slot section 211 of the guide member 2 can be assembled on the inner side of the air-conditioning equipment. Reducing the width of the first slot section 211 can improve the adaptability of the assembly and avoid contact and interference with other components during the swinging process.

[0065] In some embodiments, two corners of the frame 1 that are opposite to each other in the first direction are rounded corners 11, and the rounded corners 11 are used to abut against the flow guide 2. Figure 2 As shown, the top of the frame 1 has two corners arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions, and both corners can be quarter-round corners 11.

[0066] Therefore, on the one hand, it can play an avoidance role, thereby meeting the need of swinging the guide member 2 in the left and right directions. On the other hand, the rounded corner 11 also meets the need of limiting the abutment of the guide member 2, ensuring the structural stability during abutment.

[0067] In some embodiments, the guide member 2 includes two ear plates 22 arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, the frame body 1 is located between the two ear plates 22, one ear plate 22 is connected to the drive shaft, and the other ear plate 22 is rotatably assembled with the frame body 1.

[0068] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the deflector 2 can be integrally formed with two lugs 22, which can be spaced apart in the front-to-back direction and each generally triangular in shape. The frame 1 can be fitted entirely between the two lugs 22. The front lug 22 can be directly and fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the driver 3, while the rear lug 22 can be rotatably connected to the frame 1. The mounting holes of the two lugs 22 can be coaxially arranged, thus ensuring that the deflector 2 rotates about the same axis of rotation. The provision of the lugs 22 improves the ease of assembly of the deflector 2.

[0069] In some embodiments, the other ear plate 22 is rotatably assembled with the frame body 1 through the shaft sleeve 4. Figure 1 As shown, the ear plate 22 located on the rear side of the frame body 1 can be rotatably assembled on the frame body 1 through the shaft sleeve 4. The rear side of the frame body 1 can be integrally formed with a shaft portion, which is coaxially arranged with the driving shaft of the driver 3. The shaft sleeve 4 can be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the shaft portion, and the ear plate 22 on the rear side can be assembled on the outer peripheral side of the shaft sleeve 4.

[0070] In some embodiments, the flow guide 2 includes two folded edges 23 arranged opposite to each other in the second direction, the liquid storage tank 21 is formed between the two folded edges 23, and the height of the folded edges 23 first increases and then decreases along the first direction.

[0071] For example, Figure 4 As shown, both hems 23 can be vertical plate structures, and the two hems 23 can be spaced apart in the front-to-back direction. The height of each hem 23 in the vertical direction can first increase and then decrease from left to right. In this way, the left and right ends of the hem 23 can be smaller, thereby enhancing the avoidance function during the swinging process.

[0072] In some embodiments, the driver 3 is fixedly assembled with the frame 1 by fasteners. For example, the outer periphery of the driver 3 may be provided with two lugs, and fasteners such as screws may pass through the corresponding lugs and be threadedly assembled with the frame 1, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the driver 3 assembly.

[0073] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is provided with a column 12 for fixing the frame 1. Figure 4 As shown, the column 12 can be integrally formed on the front side of the frame 1 by injection molding. The column 12 can be a threaded column. During assembly, the frame 1 can be installed on the downwind duct component 400 of the air-conditioning equipment by fasteners such as screws.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the air conditioning device includes an upper air duct assembly 300 , a lower air duct assembly 400 , a base plate 500 and a water tank 200 .

[0077] The downwind duct assembly 400 is provided below the upwind duct assembly 300, the liquid path switching assembly 100 is assembled to the downwind duct assembly 400, and the liquid storage tank 21 is used to store the liquid overflowing from the upwind duct assembly 300. Figure 6 As shown, the frame 1 of the liquid path switching assembly 100 can be fixed to the lower air duct assembly 400 by fasteners such as screws, and a water receiving tray can be provided on the bottom side of the upper air duct assembly 300. The water receiving tray is provided with an overflow hole, and the overflow hole is located directly above the liquid storage tank 21 of the guide member 2.

[0078] During use, the liquid flowing out of the overflow hole of the water receiving tray of the upper air duct assembly 300 can be discharged into the liquid storage tank 21, thereby meeting the need for receiving condensed water.

[0079] The chassis 500 and the water tank 200 are both arranged below the downwind duct assembly 400. In the first position, the guide member 2 is inclined toward the chassis 500 and is used to guide the liquid into the chassis 500. In the second position, the guide member 2 is inclined toward the water tank 200 and is used to guide the liquid into the water tank 200.

[0080] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the chassis 500 can be arranged on the bottom side of the mobile air conditioner, and a water receiving tray can also be integrated on the chassis 500 to meet the use needs of liquid storage. Figure 5As shown, water tank 200 can be mounted on the side of the mobile air conditioner. During use, when the flow guide member 2 is switched to the first position by the actuator 3, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 21 can be discharged into the chassis 500. When the flow guide member 2 is switched to the second position by the actuator 3, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 21 can be discharged into the water tank 200. The water tank 200 meets the need for large-capacity storage of condensate.
