[0046] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of this application.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0048] In this application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described in this application as exemplary is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present application. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present application can be implemented without using these specific details.

Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is to be consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles disclosed herein.
[0049] To facilitate understanding of the solution of the present application, the spline curves and arrows used in the drawings are explained here: the components indicated by the spline curves without arrows are solid components, that is, components with solid structures; the components indicated by the spline curves with arrows are virtual components, that is, components without solid structures.
[0050] Kitchen environments are often heavy with oil and smoke, and kitchen air conditioners are prone to drawing in oil smoke from the air, causing it to cling to the evaporator during use. Kitchen air conditioners are seasonal appliances, primarily used during the hot summer months and then discontinued for periods of time in the winter. During this alternating use cycle, the oil smoke attached to the evaporator can become a stubborn stain, affecting the air conditioner's cooling performance and service life. Furthermore, the oil stains on the evaporator can easily breed bacteria, which can be accompanied by cold air during subsequent use, affecting the user experience.
[0051] Oil stains accumulate in the kitchen air conditioner's drain pan over time and become difficult to clean. They settle at the lowest point of the pan, where the water pump draws water. The pumped liquid contains a mixture of oil, sludge, and water, which can easily lead to pump failure and water level alarm failure. In the prior art, cleaning the kitchen air conditioner's drain pan and evaporator is extremely difficult, requiring the removal of multiple components. Their high location makes them inconvenient for after-sales cleaning, and replacing and repairing a failed water pump is also extremely difficult.
[0052] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner 100, including: a middle frame 10, which is provided with a accommodating cavity 11; a water receiving tray 20, which can be rotatably embedded in the accommodating cavity 11 or extended outside the accommodating cavity 11; and a limiting member 30, which is fixedly connected to the water receiving tray 20. When the water receiving tray 20 rotates to a target position, the limiting member 30 and the middle frame 10 are connected in a limiting manner to keep the water receiving tray 20 in the target position.
[0053] The air conditioner 100 provided by the present application can rotate the water receiving tray 20 to extend outside the accommodating chamber 11 when the water receiving tray 20 needs to be cleaned, and is fixed to the target position by the limiting member 30 so that the water receiving tray 20 can be cleaned. When the water receiving tray 20 extends outside the accommodating chamber 11, other components in the accommodating chamber 11, such as the heat exchanger, can be exposed, making it convenient to clean or repair the heat exchanger. After the cleaning or repair is completed, the water receiving tray 20 can be rotated and embedded in the accommodating chamber 11, so that the water receiving tray 20 collects condensed water or other oily impurities to maintain the indoor environment. By limiting the water receiving tray 20 at the target position, the present application does not need to completely remove the water receiving tray 20 when cleaning, which is convenient and quick. Moreover, when cleaning other components of the accommodating chamber 11, the cleaning water flow can also be collected to prevent the water flow from splashing out and to prevent the water flow from carrying the flushed impurities and polluting the environment.
[0054] It should be noted that kitchen air conditioners have a lot of oily impurities. The air conditioner 100 provided in this solution can be a kitchen air conditioner, which is convenient for efficiently cleaning the oily impurities and preventing the oily impurities from breeding and being blown out with the air flow of the air conditioner.
[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5This is a vertically inverted view of the air conditioner 100 after being mounted on a wall. The housing 11 houses conventional components of the air conditioner 100, such as the water pump assembly 111, water level alarm 112, electrical control box assembly 113, audio module 114, and display module assembly 115. When the water tray 20 extends outside the housing 11, these components are exposed, facilitating electrical inspection and maintenance, improving production and maintenance efficiency, and enhancing quality control of the air conditioner 100.
[0056] In some embodiments, the middle frame 10 is provided with a connecting portion 12, and the connecting portion 12 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 121. The plurality of limiting holes 121 are sequentially spaced along the rotation direction of the water receiving tray 20; the limiting member 30 is provided with a limiting buckle 31, and the water receiving tray 20 drives the limiting member 30 to rotate so that the limiting buckle 31 rotates and switches between the plurality of limiting holes 121; when the water receiving tray 20 rotates to the target position, the limiting buckle 31 and the limiting hole 121 are plugged and fixed to keep the water receiving tray 20 in the target position. It can be understood that by plugging and fixing the limiting buckle 31 with different limiting holes 121, the water receiving tray 20 can be fixed in different positions, that is, at different angles with the middle frame 10. The user can select the corresponding target position according to actual needs.
[0057] It should be noted that the rotation of the water receiving tray 20 can be driven by a motor, or the water receiving tray 20 can be rotated manually.
[0058] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 12 is provided with a first rotating shaft 122, the limiting member 30 is provided with an avoidance through hole 32, and the end of the water receiving tray 20 is provided with a rotating shaft connecting hole 21. The first rotating shaft 122 passes through the avoidance through hole 32 and is embedded in the rotating shaft connecting hole 21. The limiting member 30 slides along the extension direction of the first rotating shaft 122 to enable the limiting buckle 31 to be inserted into or disengaged from the limiting hole 121.
[0059] Specifically, during the rotation of the water receiving tray 20, the limiting buckle 31 disengages from the limiting hole 121, and the limiting member 30 rotates with the water receiving tray 20. When the water receiving tray 20 rotates to the target position, the limiting hole 121 is inserted into the limiting hole 121 of the target position to fix the water receiving tray 20 at the target position.
[0060] In some embodiments, multiple limiting buckles 31 are provided on the connecting portion 12 around the avoidance through-holes 32. The limiting holes 121 are sequentially spaced apart along the rotational direction of the water receiving tray 20. Furthermore, the limiting buckles 31 extend in a direction approaching the limiting holes 121. Accordingly, the limiting holes 121 are provided around the first rotating shaft 122, with the first rotating shaft 122 mating with the avoidance through-holes 32, and the limiting holes 121 mating with the limiting buckles 31.
[0061] In some embodiments, the number of the limiting holes 121 is greater than or equal to the number of the limiting buckles 31. It is understood that the number of the limiting holes 121 determines the number of target positions, and the limiting buckles 31 cooperate with different limiting holes 121 to fix the water receiving tray 20 at different target positions.
[0062] Furthermore, the number of the limiting holes 121 is equal to the number of the limiting buckles 31. In this way, when the water receiving tray 20 is at the target position, each limiting hole 121 has a limiting buckle 31 to cooperate with it, which can improve the fixing stability of the limiting member 30 and prevent the water receiving tray 20 from falling.
[0063] In some embodiments, the limiting member 30 is further provided with a manipulation portion 33, which is located on the outer side wall of the limiting member 30 and is used to drive the limiting member 30 to slide along the extension direction of the first rotating shaft 122. The manipulation portion 33 can be manually manipulated to drive the limiting member 30 to slide along the extension direction of the first rotating shaft 122, thereby inserting or disengaging the limiting buckle 31 into or out of the limiting hole 121.
[0064] In some embodiments, the stopper 30 is further provided with an elastic foot 34 extending in a direction approaching the water receiving tray 20. The water receiving tray 20 is provided with a first slot 22, and the elastic foot 34 is engaged with the first slot 22. Specifically, the elastic foot 34 cooperates with the plane of the water receiving tray 20. The plane of the water receiving tray 20 is provided with a plurality of protrusions extending in a direction approaching the stopper 30, and the first slot 22 is defined between adjacent protrusions. The elastic foot 34 is located in the first slot 22. When the stopper 30 slides along the extension direction of the first rotating shaft 122, the elastic foot 34 can abut against the plane of the water receiving tray 20, and utilize its elastic recovery deformation to promote the insertion of the stop buckle 31 into the stop hole 121.
[0065] In some embodiments, two limiting members 30 are provided, and the two limiting members 30 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water receiving tray 20 and are respectively connected to the two sides of the middle frame 10 to improve the fixing stability of the water receiving tray 20 at the target position.
[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 A retaining rib 23 is provided at one end of the water receiving tray 20 away from the limiting member 30. Further, the retaining rib 23 includes a plurality of cylindrical ribs of different sizes.
[0067] Specifically, a drain hole is provided at one end of the water receiving pan 20 away from the stopper 30. The drain hole is connected to the water pump. If grease and impurities in the water receiving pan 20 enter the water pump through the drain hole, it will cause the water pump and the water level alarm to malfunction. In this application, a retaining rib 23 is provided between the drain hole and the stopper 30. When the water receiving pan 20 is extended out of the accommodating chamber 11 and fixed in the target position, when cleaning the water receiving pan 20 or other components in the accommodating chamber 11, the washed grease can be intercepted by the retaining rib 23, reducing the grease from entering the water pump with the water flow and avoiding any impact on the water pump.
[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The water receiving pan 20 is provided with a return air port 24. The air conditioner 100 further includes a water receiving member 40. The water receiving member 40 and the water receiving pan 20 are rotatably connected to open or close the return air port 24. When the water receiving pan 20 is embedded in the accommodating chamber 11, the water receiving member 40 opens the return air port 24. When the water receiving pan 20 is extended out of the accommodating chamber 11, the water receiving member 40 closes the return air port 24. Specifically, when the water receiving pan 20 is embedded in the accommodating chamber 11, the water receiving member 40 collects condensed water and oil. The water receiving member 40 is controlled to open the return air port 24 to increase the air intake area, thereby improving the cooling effect and the return air volume. When the water receiving pan 20 is extended out of the accommodating chamber 11, the water receiving member 40 is controlled to close the return air port 24, so that the sewage and impurities flushed by the heat exchanger inside the accommodating chamber 11 can enter the water receiving pan 20 along the water receiving member 40, thereby preventing sewage from splashing out.
[0069] Specifically, see Figure 11 A second rotating shaft 25 is provided on the water receiving tray 20 , and a second card slot 411 is provided on the water receiving member 40 . The second card slot 411 is rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft 25 to open or close the return air outlet 24 .
[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The water receiving member 40 is provided with elastic clips 413 at both ends, and the water receiving tray 20 is provided with a first clipping portion and a second clipping portion. When the water receiving member 40 opens the return air inlet 24, the elastic clips 413 and the first clipping portion engage to maintain the water receiving member 40 in the open position. When the water receiving member 40 closes the return air inlet 24, the elastic clips 413 and the second clipping portion engage to maintain the water receiving member 40 in the closed position. When the water receiving member 40 rotates to close the return air inlet 24, the elastic clips 413 are first compressed and elastically deformed. When the water receiving member 40 rotates to a certain angle, the elastic clips 413 rebound and engage with the water receiving tray 20. The elastic clips 413 support the water receiving member 40 in a fixed position to prevent it from falling.
[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 The water receiving member 40 includes a first water receiving member 41 and a second water receiving member 42 that are rotatably connected. The first water receiving member 41 is rotatably connected to the water receiving tray 20, and the second water receiving member 42 can be movably folded to the first water receiving member 41 or away from the first water receiving member 41 to open or close the return air outlet 24.
[0072] Specifically, the second water receiving member 42 is provided with a third rotating shaft 421, and the first water receiving member 41 is provided with a rotating shaft mounting groove 412. The third rotating shaft 421 is arranged in the rotating shaft mounting groove 412, and the third rotating shaft 421 can slide between a first position and a second position along the extension direction of the rotating shaft mounting groove 412; when the third rotating shaft 421 slides to the first position, the second water receiving member 42 can be folded onto the first water receiving member 41 or unfolded to a first unfolding angle by rotating around the third rotating shaft 421; when the third rotating shaft 421 slides to the second position, the second water receiving member 42 can rotate around the third rotating shaft 421 between the first unfolding angle and the second unfolding angle, and the second unfolding angle is greater than the first unfolding angle.
[0073] Furthermore, the second expansion angle is 180°, which is conducive to the sewage used to clean the heat exchanger passing through the second water receiving member 42 and the first water receiving member 41 in sequence and then flowing into the water receiving tray 20.
[0074] In some embodiments, the end of the third rotating shaft 421 and the notch of the rotating shaft mounting slot 412 are interference fit for clamping and fixing to prevent the third rotating shaft 421 from loosening.
[0075] It should be noted that the second latching groove 411 and the elastic latch 413 are both provided on the first water receiving member 41. When the interior of the air conditioner 100 needs to be cleaned and repaired, the water receiving pan 20 is rotated relative to the middle frame 10 to the target position and fixed by the limit member 30. The first water receiving member 41 drives the second water receiving member 42 to rotate relative to the water receiving pan 20 to the position of the return air outlet 24 via the second rotating shaft 25. The first water receiving member 41 partially closes the return air outlet 24, and the second water receiving member 42 can be rotated and expanded relative to the first water receiving member 41 via the third rotating shaft 421 to close the remaining return air outlet 24. The wastewater from the flushing passes through the second water receiving member 42 and the first water receiving member 41 in sequence and then flows into the water receiving pan 20. Among them, when the second water receiving member 42 is fully unfolded compared to the first water receiving member 41, the second water receiving member 42 overlaps the first water receiving member 41 under the action of gravity, allowing sewage to flow smoothly from the second water receiving member 42 to the first water receiving member 41, and preventing sewage from flowing out from the gap between the second water receiving member 42 and the first water receiving member 41.
[0076] By configuring the water receiving member 40 as the first water receiving member 41 and the second water receiving member 42 that are rotatably connected, when the return air port 24 is opened, the first water receiving member 41 and the second water receiving member 42 can be folded to save space.
[0077] In some embodiments, when elastic buckles 413 are provided at both ends of the water receiving member 40, when the second water receiving member 42 is folded toward the first water receiving member 41, the elastic buckles 413 engage with the second water receiving member 42, thereby keeping the first water receiving member 41 and the second water receiving member 42 folded. This prevents the second water receiving member 42 from automatically opening and closing the return air vent 24 relative to the first water receiving member 41, thereby affecting the air intake.
[0078] It should be noted that the rotation direction of the second water receiving member 42 relative to the first water receiving member 41 is consistent with the rotation direction of the first water receiving member 41 relative to the water receiving tray 20 , and both rotate along the back side of the water receiving tray 20 .
[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 The air conditioner 100 further includes an air outlet grille 50 , which is located on a side of the water receiving tray 20 away from the middle frame 10 . One end of the air outlet grille 50 is rotatably connected to the middle frame 10 , and the other end is magnetically connected to the middle frame 10 .
[0080] Specifically, the middle frame 10 is provided with an iron sheet 13 and a first rotating connection portion 12, and the air outlet grille 50 is provided with a magnet 51 and a second rotating connection portion 52. Both the iron sheet 13 and the magnet 51 can be fixed to the middle frame 10 and the air outlet grille 50 by injection molding. The iron sheet 13 and the magnet 51 are magnetically connected, and the first rotating connection portion 12 and the second rotating connection portion 52 are rotatably connected. When the air outlet grille 50 needs to be cleaned, one end of the magnetic connection can be manually pried open, which is very convenient.
