[0033] The embodiments of the present disclosure 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 disclosure, but should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

[0034] The water receiving tray 200 of the embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a tray body 1 and an extension portion 2. The tray body 1 is provided with a Figure 1 The water receiving groove 11 is used to receive the condensed water on the evaporator 300.

The extension part 2 extends along the width direction of the tray body 1 (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The extension portion 2 is provided with an extension groove 21 extending along the width direction of the disk body 1, and the extension groove 21 is connected to the water receiving groove 11. The extension groove 21 is at least used to receive condensed water on the mounting components on the evaporator 300.

[0035] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the extension portion 2 is provided at at least one end of the disk body 1 in the left and right directions. It can be understood that the extension portion 2 is provided at the left end of the disk body 1; or, the extension portion 2 is provided at the right end of the disk body 1; or, the extension portion 2 is provided at both the left and right ends of the disk body 1.

[0036] The extension portion 2 extends in the front-to-back direction. When the extension portion 2 is located at the left end of the disk body 1, the extension portion 2 can be located at the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend forward; alternatively, the extension portion 2 can be located at the rear side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend backward. When the extension portion 2 is located at the right end of the disk body 1, the extension portion 2 can be located at the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extend forward; alternatively, the extension portion 2 can be located at the rear side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extend backward.

[0037] When the extension parts 2 are provided at the left and right ends of the disk body 1, and when there are two extension parts 2, one of them is provided at the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extends forward, and the other is provided at the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends forward; or, one of them is provided at the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extends forward, and the other is provided at the rear side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends backward; or, one of them is provided at the rear side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extends backward, and the other is provided at the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends forward; or, one of them is provided at the rear side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extends backward, and the other is provided at the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends forward; or, one of them is provided at the rear side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extends backward, and the other is provided at the rear side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends backward.

[0038] When the number of extension parts 2 is three, two of them are respectively arranged on the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend forward and on the rear side of the left end and extend backward, and the third is arranged on the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends forward; or, two of them are respectively arranged on the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend forward and on the rear side of the left end and extend backward, and the third is arranged on the rear side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extend backward; or, two of them are respectively arranged on the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extend forward and on the rear side of the right end and extend backward, and the third is arranged on the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend forward; or, two of them are respectively arranged on the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extend forward and on the rear side of the right end and extend backward, and the third is arranged on the rear side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend backward.

[0039] When there are four extension parts 2, two of them are respectively arranged on the front side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extend forward and the rear side of the left end and extend backward, and the other two are respectively arranged on the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extend forward and the rear side of the right end and extend backward.

[0040] It should be noted that the water receiving tray 200 of this embodiment is arranged at the bottom of the evaporator 300, and the left end of the evaporator 300 is provided with a pipeline extending out of the evaporator 300, and the right end of the evaporator 300 is provided with a grounding plate 500 and a wire clamping assembly 400, and the grounding plate 500 is provided with a grounding wire, and the grounding wire and the wire clamping assembly 400 protrude from the surface of the evaporator 300. The water receiving tray 200 is used to receive condensed water on the surface of the evaporator 300 during the operation of the evaporator 300, condensed water on the pipeline extending from the end of the evaporator 300, and condensed water on the grounding wire and the wire clamping assembly 400, so as to avoid damage to other components of the air conditioner by condensed water and prevent condensed water from flowing out through the air outlet.

[0041] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an extension portion 2 at at least one end of the disk body 1 in the longitudinal direction, and collects condensed water on the structure protruding from the surface of the evaporator 300 along the width direction of the disk body 1 at the end of the evaporator 300 through the extension groove 21 of the extension portion 2, and guides the collected condensed water into the water receiving groove 11, thereby preventing the condensed water on the evaporator 300 and the structure on the evaporator 300 protruding from the evaporator 300 from dripping downward, reducing the risk of damaging other components in the air conditioner and dripping from the air inlet 120, and improving the water collection reliability of the water receiving tray 200.

[0042] In some embodiments, the extension portion 2 includes a first extension portion 22, which is provided at one end of the disk body 1 in the length direction of the disk body 1. The first extension portion 22 is provided with a first extension groove 221 extending along the width direction of the disk body 1. The first extension groove 221 is used to receive the wire clamping assembly 400 on the evaporator bracket and the condensed water on the grounding wire.

[0043] Specifically, if Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, an evaporator bracket is provided at the right end of the evaporator 300, and a grounding plate 500 and a wire clamping assembly 400 are provided on the front side of the evaporator bracket. A grounding wire is provided on the grounding plate 500, and the grounding wire passes through the wire clamping assembly 400 and is connected to the electrical control box. The wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire passing through the wire clamping assembly 400 protrude forward on the evaporator bracket.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first extension portion 22 is arranged at the right end of the disk body 1, and the first extension groove 221 of the first extension portion 22 extends forward in the front-to-back direction. The first extension groove 221 is connected to the water receiving groove 11. The first extension portion 22 is arranged below the wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire on the front side of the right end of the evaporator 300, so that the first extension groove 221 can directly receive the condensed water on the wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire, and guide the condensed water received by the first extension groove 221 to the water receiving groove 11, thereby improving the water receiving reliability.

[0045] It can be understood that the mounting components on the evaporator 300 can be arranged on the evaporator bracket or at other positions of the evaporator. The mounting components on the evaporator 300 can be the wire clamping assembly 400 on the evaporator bracket and / or the grounding wire on the evaporator bracket, or can be sensing components and / or functional components.

[0046] The dimensions of the first extension part 22 in the left-right direction and the front-back direction are specifically limited according to the setting form of the wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire, ensuring that all the condensed water on the wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire flows to the first extension groove 221, avoiding the condensed water on the wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire from flowing out of the air outlet, and improving the water connection reliability of the first extension part 22.

[0047] In some embodiments, the peripheral wall surface of the first extension groove 221 includes an inclined surface 2211 , which extends from the other end toward one end of the tray body 1 and is inclined in the width direction of the tray body 1 toward a direction away from the water receiving groove 11 .

[0048] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, the peripheral wall surface of the first extension groove 221 also includes a straight surface 2213, and the straight surface 2213 is connected to one end of the inclined surface 2211 away from the other end of the disk body 1, that is, the left end of the straight surface 2213 is connected to the right end of the inclined surface 2211. Correspondingly, the first extension portion 22 includes a first extension inclined wall and a first extension straight wall 222, and the left end of the first extension straight wall 222 is connected to the right end of the first extension straight wall 222.

[0049] The inclined surface 2211 extends from the right end to the left end of the disk body 1 and tilts forward, so that the first extension groove 221 protrudes forward from the disk body 1, making it easier for the first water receiving groove 221 to receive condensed water on the wire clamping assembly 400 and / or the grounding wire, thereby improving the water receiving reliability of the first extension groove 221.

[0050] In some embodiments, the bottom surface 2212 of the first extension groove extends in a direction toward the water receiving groove 11 in the width direction of the tray body 1 and is arranged to be inclined downward.

[0051] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bottom surface 2212 of the first extension groove extends in the front-to-back direction and is arranged to be tilted downward, so that the rear side of the bottom surface 2212 of the first extension groove is lower than the front side of the bottom surface 2212 of the first extension groove, which facilitates the drainage of the condensed water in the first extension groove 221 into the water receiving groove 11, and then flows to the drain nozzle 3 through the water receiving groove 11, thereby reducing the residence time of the condensed water in the first extension groove 221 and improving the water collection reliability of the water receiving tray 200.

[0052] In some embodiments, the extension portion 2 also includes a second extension portion 23, which is arranged at the other end of the disk body 1 in the length direction of the disk body 1. The second extension portion 23 is provided with a second extension groove 231 extending along the width direction of the disk body 1. The second extension groove 231 is used to receive condensed water on the pipe extending from the end of the evaporator 300.

[0053] Specifically, if Figure 5As shown, a portion of the pipe extending from the left end of the evaporator 300 is located above the tray body 1, while the other portion extends rearward and protrudes from the evaporator 300. It will be understood that the extension groove 21 can not only be used to receive condensed water on the mounting components of the evaporator 300, for example, the first extension groove 221 is used to receive condensed water on the mounting components of the evaporator 300, but can also be used to receive condensed water on the pipe extending from the end of the evaporator 300, for example, the second extension groove 231 is used to receive condensed water on the pipe extending from the end of the evaporator 300.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the second extension portion 23 is arranged at the left end of the disk body 1, and the second extension groove 231 of the second extension portion 23 extends backward in the front-to-back direction. The second extension groove 231 is connected to the water receiving groove 11. The second extension portion 23 is arranged below the pipeline extending from the left end of the evaporator 300. The condensed water on the pipeline extending from the left end of the evaporator 300 is directly received through the second extension groove 231, and the received condensed water is diverted to the water receiving groove 11, thereby improving the water receiving reliability.

[0055] The dimensions of the second extension portion 23 in the left-right and front-back directions are limited according to the arrangement of the pipeline extending from the end of the evaporator 300, ensuring that all the condensed water on the pipeline extending from the end of the evaporator 300 flows to the second extension portion 23, avoiding the condensed water on the pipeline extending from the end of the evaporator 300 from damaging other components, and improving the water collection reliability of the water receiving tray 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 22 extends from one side of the disk body 1 in the width direction of the disk body 1 toward a direction away from the disk body 1, and the second extension portion 23 extends from the other side of the disk body 1 in the width direction of the disk body 1 toward a direction away from the disk body 1.

[0057] Specifically, if Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the first extension portion 22 and the second extension portion 23 are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, the first extension portion 22 is located at the front side of the right end of the disk body 1 and extends forward, and the second extension portion 23 is located at the rear side of the left end of the disk body 1 and extends backward. In this embodiment, the first extension portion 22 and the second extension portion 23 are arranged in opposite extending directions, so that the first extension portion 22 directly receives the condensed water on the wire clamping assembly 400 and the grounding wire, and the second extension portion 23 directly receives the condensed water on the pipeline extending from the left end of the evaporator 300, thereby improving the water collection reliability of the water collection tray 200.

[0058] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 200 further includes a drainage nozzle 3 , which is provided at the other end of the tray body 1 in the longitudinal direction of the tray body 1 , and is communicated with the water receiving trough 11 .

[0059] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water receiving tray 200 also includes a drain pipe 7, and the drain nozzle 3 is arranged at the lower left end of the tray body 1. The drain nozzle 3 connects the water receiving trough 11 and the drain pipe 7. The condensed water in the water receiving trough 11 flows to the drain pipe 7 through the drain nozzle 3 and is discharged through the drain pipe 7.

[0060] Optionally, the drain nozzle 3 is located at the bottom of the second extension portion 23, and the bottom surface of the second extension groove 231 extends in the direction toward the drain nozzle 3 and is arranged to be tilted downward, so that the condensed water in the second extension groove 231 is drained into the water receiving groove 11, and then flows to the drain nozzle 3 through the water receiving groove 11, thereby reducing the residence time of the condensed water in the second extension groove 231 and improving the water collection reliability of the water receiving tray 200.

[0061] In some embodiments, the water receiving groove 11 extends from one end of the tray body 1 toward the other end of the tray body 1 and is arranged to be inclined downward.

[0062] Specifically, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water receiving trough 11 extends from the right end to the left end and is arranged to be tilted downward, so that the left end of the water receiving trough 11 is lower than the right end of the water receiving trough 11. Since the water receiving nozzle is arranged on the left side of the tray body 1, it is convenient for the water in the water receiving trough 11 to flow from right to left to the water receiving nozzle, thereby reducing the residence time of the condensed water in the water receiving trough 11 and improving the drainage efficiency of the water receiving tray 200.

[0063] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 200 is a multi-layer component and includes a first layer 4, a second layer 5 and a third layer 6. The lower surface of the first layer 4 is the lower surface of the water receiving tray 200, the upper surface of the second layer 5 forms a water receiving groove 11, the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 are clamped together, and the third layer 6 is located between the first layer 4 and the second layer 5. The third layer 6 is an insulation layer.

[0064] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the lower surface of the first layer 4 and the upper surface of the second layer 5 form the surface of the water receiving tray 200. The outer edge of the first layer 4 in the width direction of the tray body 1 is snap-fitted to the outer edge of the second layer 5 in the width direction of the tray body 1. By snapping the front outer edge of the first layer 4 with the front outer edge of the second layer 5 and the rear outer edge of the first layer 4 with the rear outer edge of the second layer 5, the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 are quickly assembled. Through the connection between the first layer 4 and the second layer 5, the lower surface of the first layer 4 forms the lower surface of the water receiving tray 200, and the upper surface of the second layer 5 forms the upper surface of the water receiving tray 200. This simplifies the assembly structure of the water receiving tray 200, improves the assembly efficiency of the water receiving tray 200, and reduces the production cost of the water receiving tray 200.

[0065] Optionally, the first layer 4 has a first engaging portion 41 on its outer edge in the width direction of the water receiving tray 200, and the second layer 5 has a second engaging portion 51 on its outer edge in the width direction of the water receiving tray 200, and the first engaging portion 41 and the second engaging portion 51 are engaged. One of the first engaging portions 41 is disposed on the first extending straight wall 222 at the front end of the first layer 4, and one of the second engaging portions 51 is disposed on the first extending straight wall 222 at the front end of the second layer 5, thereby improving the connection reliability between the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 at the corresponding position of the extension portion 2.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first clamping portion 41 set at the front end outer edge of the first layer 4 is clamped with the second clamping portion 51 set at the front end outer edge of the second layer 5, and the first clamping portion 41 set at the rear end outer edge of the first layer 4 is clamped with the second clamping portion 51 set at the rear end outer edge of the second layer 5, thereby achieving the connection between the front end of the first layer 4 and the front end of the second layer 5, and the rear end of the first layer 4 and the rear end of the second layer 5, thereby facilitating the assembly of the water receiving tray 200 and improving the connection reliability of the first layer 4 and the second layer 5.

[0067] Furthermore, by providing a heat-insulating layer between the first layer 4 and the second layer 5, the condensed water in the water receiving tray 200 is prevented from directly contacting with the outside air, thereby preventing the phenomenon of condensed water generated by the increased temperature difference, and achieving a better heat-insulating effect.

[0068] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, a drain outlet 52 is provided on the second layer 5 and penetrates the second layer 5 in the up and down directions. The drain outlet 52 is connected to the drain nozzle 3 to facilitate guiding the condensed water collected in the second layer 5 to the drain nozzle 3 through the drain outlet 52.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the drainage nozzle 3 is arranged on the first layer 4 of the water receiving tray 200, so as to facilitate the installation of the insulation layer.

[0070] Compared with the arrangement of the related art in which a film is laid on the insulation layer to form the peripheral wall surface of the water receiving trough 11, laying a film on the insulation layer requires that the thickness of the insulation layer is very thick. The increase in the thickness of the insulation layer will increase the width of the water receiving tray 200, thereby affecting the air intake area of ​​the air conditioner. In this embodiment, an insulation layer is arranged between the first layer 4 and the second layer 5, and the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 are connected by snap-fitting, so that the width of the water receiving tray 200 can be reduced, thereby increasing the air intake area of ​​the air conditioner.

[0071] For example, the insulation layer is plastic or sponge.

[0072] Optionally, at least one of the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 is a plastic layer.

[0073] Specifically, at least one of the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 is a plastic layer, which includes the first layer 4 being a plastic layer; or the second layer 5 being a plastic layer; or both the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 are plastic layers.

[0074] For example, the first layer 4 is integrally injection molded. The second layer 5 is integrally injection molded. In this embodiment, both the first layer 4 and the second layer 5 are plastic layers, which reduces the cost of the water receiving tray 200.

[0075] The air conditioner of the present embodiment includes an indoor unit body 100, an evaporator 300, and a water receiving tray 200. The indoor unit body 100 defines a mounting cavity 110. The evaporator 300 is disposed within the mounting cavity 110. The water receiving tray 200 is disposed within the mounting cavity 110 and is located at the bottom of the evaporator 300. The water receiving tray 200 is similar to the water receiving tray 200 of the above-described embodiment.

[0076] Specifically, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the indoor unit body 100 is provided with an air inlet 120 and an air outlet 130. The air inlet 120 and the air outlet 130 are respectively connected to the mounting cavity 110. The air inlet 120 is provided at the lower end of the indoor unit body 100, and the air outlet 130 is provided at the upper end of the indoor unit body 100. The airflow entering the air conditioner through the air inlet 120 exchanges heat with the evaporator 300, and the airflow after heat exchange is discharged through the air outlet 130.

[0077] The evaporator 300 and the water tray 200 are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The water tray 200 is installed within the mounting cavity 110 and is located below the evaporator 300. In a projection plane perpendicular to the length of the air conditioner, the evaporator 300 has a V-shaped cross-section, with the tip of the evaporator 300 facing downward and partially located within the water receiving groove 11. When the evaporator 300 is operating, because the surface temperature of the evaporator 300 is lower than the dew point of the surrounding air, water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets on the surface of the evaporator 300, forming condensed water. This condensed water on the evaporator 300 flows downward along the surface of the evaporator 300, and the water tray 200 receives the condensed water that condenses on the surface of the evaporator 300 during operation.

[0078] The water receiving tray 200 of the air conditioner in this embodiment is provided with an extension portion 2 at at least one end of the tray body 1 of the water receiving tray 200 in the length direction, and the extension groove 21 of the extension portion 2 collects the condensed water on the structure protruding from the surface of the evaporator 300 along the width direction of the tray body 1 at the end of the evaporator 300, and guides the collected condensed water into the water receiving groove 11, thereby preventing the condensed water on the evaporator 300 and the structure on the evaporator 300 protruding from the evaporator 300 from dripping downwards, reducing the risk of damaging other components in the air conditioner and dripping from the air inlet 120, and improving the water collection reliability of the water receiving tray 200.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 22 of the water receiving tray 200 extends forward from the front side of the right end of the tray body 1 .

[0080] In some embodiments, the second extension portion 23 of the water receiving tray 200 extends rearward from the rear side of the left end of the tray body 1 .

[0081] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the first extension portion 22 is positioned below the wire clamp assembly 400 and the ground wire clamp, allowing the first extension portion 22 to directly receive condensed water from the pipe extending from the left end of the evaporator 300. The second extension portion 23 is positioned below the pipe extending from the end of the evaporator 300, allowing the first extension portion 22 to directly receive condensed water from the pipe extending from the left end of the evaporator 300. By arranging the first and second extension portions 22, 23 in opposite directions, the pipe extending from the left end of the evaporator 300 is accommodated while also accommodating the position of the wire clamp assembly 400 and the ground wire located at the right front end of the evaporator 300, thereby improving the water collection reliability of the water receiving tray 200.

[0082] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, a first matching portion 8 extending backward is provided on the rear side of the right end of the tray body 1. The first matching portion 8 is used to match with the second matching portion on the base of the air conditioner to facilitate the installation of the water receiving tray 200.
