Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0039] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0040] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8Description of top cover 1002 according to an embodiment of the present utility model.
[0041] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the top cover 1002 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a cover body 1008.
[0042] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-4 The top cover 1002 is used for the air conditioner 1000, which has an air outlet frame assembly 100 located below the top cover 1002 and has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201. The upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002. It should be noted that the upper end of the air outlet duct 201 is open, and the upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002, thereby increasing the length of the air outlet 202 in the vertical direction, thus increasing the area of the air outlet 202, increasing the air outlet area of the air conditioner 1000, and improving the cooling or heating efficiency.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the upper surface of the cover body 1008 has a water inlet groove 1004, and the bottom wall of the water inlet groove 1004 has a connecting hole 1003. It is understood that when condensation forms on the upper surface of the cover body 1008, water can flow into the water inlet groove 1004, thereby preventing water from affecting electrical components such as microphones on the upper surface of the top cover 1002. Simultaneously, because the bottom wall of the water inlet groove 1004 has a connecting hole 1003, water flowing into the water inlet groove 1004 can drain out of the water inlet groove 1004 through the connecting hole 1003, preventing water from accumulating in the water inlet groove 1004 and overflowing. In addition, the air conditioner 1000 also includes a water collection tray, which is located below the air outlet frame assembly 100. Water flowing out of the connecting hole 1003 can flow to the water collection tray, thereby preventing water from damaging the internal electrical components of the air conditioner 1000.
[0044] Therefore, by setting up the water channel 1004 and the connecting hole 1003, the condensation formed on the upper surface of the cover body 1008 can be drained away in time, avoiding the accumulation of condensation on the surface of the top cover 1002, which could damage the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, and also improving safety.
[0045] Furthermore, when a user accidentally spills or pours water onto the upper surface of the top cover 1002, it can be drained away through the connecting hole 1003 of the water channel 1004, which can also protect electrical components and improve safety.
[0046] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the top cover 1002 is located below the top cover 1002 by an air outlet frame assembly 100, which has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201. The upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002. A water channel 1004 is provided on the upper surface of the cover body 1008. A connecting hole 1003 is provided on the bottom wall of the water channel 1004, so that the condensation formed on the upper surface of the cover body 1008 can be drained away in time through the water channel 1004 and the connecting hole 1003, avoiding the accumulation of condensation on the surface of the top cover 1002 and causing damage to the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, and also improving safety.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004 is provided with a plurality of connecting holes 1003, thereby improving drainage efficiency, further preventing condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002 and causing damage to electrical components on the surface of the top cover 1002, and also improving safety.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple water inlets 1004. This increases the water capacity of the upper surface of the cover body 1008, prevents excessive water from overflowing from the water inlets 1004, and further prevents condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002, which could damage the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, and also improves safety.
[0049] Meanwhile, the bottom wall of the water inlet trough 1004 has at least one connecting hole 1003. The water inlet trough 1004 has multiple holes, which increases the number of connecting holes 1003, thereby further improving drainage efficiency, further preventing condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002 and causing damage to electrical components on the surface of the top cover 1002, and also improving safety.
[0050] For example, Figure 5 and Figure 8 In the example shown, there are two water inlet troughs 1004, but the present invention is not limited to this. There can be more water inlet troughs 1004, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6, etc.
[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the lower surface of the cover body 1008 has a drainage protrusion 1009, and a connecting hole 1003 passes through the drainage protrusion 1009. This allows water to be better guided to flow in a specific direction (such as a drip tray), thereby avoiding water turbulence and protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-7As shown, the lower end of the drainage protrusion 1009 is inclined upwards in the front-to-back direction. This causes the lower end of the drainage protrusion 1009 to form a pointed outlet, which can effectively guide the liquid flow, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly down the wall of the connecting hole 1003 instead of dripping directly. This avoids splashing when the liquid drips, further protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover body 1008 has an air outlet structure 1007 disposed opposite to the air outlet duct 201. The air outlet structure 1007 is used to discharge the airflow in the air outlet duct 201 upward. The air outlet structure 1007 is spaced apart from the water inlet trough 1004.
[0054] Understandably, the air outlet structure 1007 causes the airflow in the air outlet duct 201 to be discharged upwards, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the air temperature above the cover body 1008 and the airflow temperature in the air outlet duct 201. This reduces the formation of condensation on the upper surface of the cover body 1008, further preventing condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002 and damaging the electrical components there, thus improving safety. Simultaneously, the discharge of airflow increases the airflow speed on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, increasing the water evaporation rate, further preventing condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002 and damaging the electrical components there, thus improving safety.
[0055] In addition, because the airflow can be discharged upwards, the air outlet range of the air conditioner 1000 is increased, the air outlet efficiency and the working efficiency of the air conditioner 1000 are increased, and the user's comfort is improved.
[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet structure 1007 is formed as a plurality of spaced air outlet holes that penetrate the cover body 1008 in the vertical direction; thereby improving the air outlet efficiency and simplifying the structure.
[0057] Alternatively, the air outlet structure 1007 can be formed as an air outlet grille. This allows the air outlet structure 1007 to guide the airflow from the air outlet duct 201, better guiding the airflow, and the mesh structure of the air outlet grille can prevent larger foreign objects such as dust and insects from entering the interior of the air conditioner 1000, protecting the internal components from damage.
[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 5-7As shown, in the front-to-back direction, the upper surface of the cover body 1008 extends downward at an angle, and the vent structure 1007 is located on the front side of the water inlet trough 1004. This prevents condensation formed on the surface of the top cover 1002 from flowing to the vent structure 1007 and entering the air outlet duct 201, thereby protecting the internal components from damage and allowing water to flow more effectively to the water inlet trough 1004.
[0059] Furthermore, such as Figures 5-7 As shown, the connecting hole 1003 is located on the rear side of the water inlet trough 1004. This makes the connecting hole 1003 located at the lowest point of the water inlet trough 1004, which facilitates the water in the water inlet trough 1004 to drain into the connecting hole 1003. This further prevents water accumulation in the water inlet trough 1004 and further prevents condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002, which could damage the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002 and improve safety.
[0060] The following is for reference. Figures 1-8 This invention describes an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0061] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: an air outlet frame assembly 100 and the aforementioned top cover 1002.
[0062] Specifically, refer to Figures 1-4 The air outlet frame assembly 100 has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201; the top cover 1002 is located above the air outlet frame assembly 100, and the upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002. It can be understood that the upper end of the air outlet duct 201 is open, and the upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002, thereby increasing the length of the air outlet 202 in the vertical direction, thus increasing the area of the air outlet 202, increasing the air outlet area of the air conditioner 1000, and improving the cooling or heating efficiency.
[0063] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 1000 has a top cover 1002 as described above. The air outlet frame assembly 100 is located below the top cover 1002 and has an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201. The upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002. A water channel 1004 is provided on the upper surface of the cover body 1008. A connecting hole 1003 is provided on the bottom wall of the water channel 1004, so that the condensation formed on the upper surface of the cover body 1008 can be drained away in time through the water channel 1004 and the connecting hole 1003, avoiding the accumulation of condensation on the surface of the top cover 1002 and causing damage to the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, and also improving safety.
[0064] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5As shown, the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 has a water storage tank 2020, which is arranged opposite to the connecting hole 1003 in the vertical direction to receive water on the top cover 1002. The air conditioner 1000 also includes a water receiving tray, which is located below the air outlet frame assembly 100 to receive water in the water storage tank 2020.
[0065] It is understandable that the water storage tank 2020 and the connecting hole 1003 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, so that the water from the connecting hole 1003 can be collected in the water storage tank 2020, preventing water from flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000. Due to the arrangement of the water storage tank 2020, the air outlet frame assembly 100 can hold more water, preventing water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.
[0066] Meanwhile, the water receiving tray has a drainage trough, and the water storage tank 2020 is connected to the drainage trough in the water receiving tray, so that the water in the water storage tank 2020 can eventually be discharged to the drainage trough, realizing the discharge of water from the air conditioner 1000.
[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a drain hole 2026 is provided on the bottom wall of the water storage tank 2020. This allows the water in the water storage tank 2020 to drain to the water receiving tray, preventing water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing the water storage tank 2020 and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.
[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the water storage tank 2020 has raised ribs 2025. This enhances the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100.
[0069] Furthermore, the non-water storage tank 2020 portion at the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100 is also provided with raised ribs 2025, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the upper end of the air outlet frame assembly 100.
[0070] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple protruding ribs 2025 are arranged in a cross pattern, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100. Furthermore, the cross arrangement of the multiple protruding ribs 2025 forms a unified whole, further strengthening the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100.
[0071] Alternatively, the raised ribs 2025 may be multiple spaced apart. This further enhances the structural strength of the upper part of the air outlet frame assembly 100. Furthermore, the spaced arrangement of multiple raised ribs 2025 increases the water storage space, further preventing water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing the water storage tank 2020 and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.
[0072] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom wall of the water storage tank 2020 has a drain protrusion 2024, and a drain hole 2026 penetrates the drain protrusion 2024. The drain protrusion 2024 is higher than the protruding rib 2025. Therefore, when the water level in the water storage tank 2020 is higher than the drain protrusion 2024, water can flow from the drain hole 2026 to the water receiving tray, thus preventing the water receiving tray from receiving too much water at once and overflowing.
[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the opening of the water storage tank 2020 is higher than the drain protrusion 2024. This further prevents water from the connecting hole 1003 from overflowing from the water storage tank 2020 and flowing into the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000, thereby protecting the electrical components inside the air conditioner 1000.
[0074] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the cover body 1008 has an air outlet structure 1007 that is opposite to and connected to the air outlet duct 201. The air conditioner 1000 also includes a switch door 300, which is rotatably disposed at the air outlet 202 for opening or closing the air outlet 202. When the switch door 300 opens the air outlet 202, the switch door 300 is located inside the air outlet duct 201 and on one side of the width direction of the air outlet duct 201, and the switch door 300 and the air outlet structure 1007 are opposite to each other in the vertical direction.
[0075] It is understandable that when the door 300 opens the air outlet 202, the door 300 and the air outlet structure 1007 are arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, so that the air outlet structure 1007 can be arranged opposite to the movement space of the door 300 in the air outlet duct 201. Since the door 300 is rotatably located at the air outlet 202, the door 300 has a large movement space in the air outlet duct 201, and the airflow in the movement space of the door 300 is relatively smooth, which makes it easier for more gas to be discharged through the air outlet structure 1007. This further reduces the temperature difference between the air temperature above the cover body 1008 and the airflow temperature in the air outlet duct 201, thereby further reducing the formation of condensation on the upper surface of the cover body 1008, further preventing condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002 and causing damage to the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, and also improving safety.
[0076] Furthermore, the door 300 has micropores, so that when the door 300 closes the air outlet 202, the air conditioner 1000 can achieve windless airflow. At this time, the door 300 has more movement space in the air outlet duct 201, which further makes the airflow smoother and facilitates more gas to be discharged through the air outlet structure 1007. This further reduces the temperature difference between the air temperature above the cover body 1008 and the airflow temperature in the air outlet duct 201, thereby further reducing the formation of condensation on the upper surface of the cover body 1008. This further prevents condensation from accumulating on the surface of the top cover 1002 and causing damage to the electrical components on the upper surface of the top cover 1002, and also improves safety.
[0077] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are multiple air outlets 202 spaced apart along the width of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and multiple air outlet ducts 201 corresponding one-to-one with the multiple air outlets 202. This improves the air outlet efficiency and the cooling or heating efficiency of the air conditioner 1000.
[0078] For example, Figures 1-3 In the example shown, there are two air outlet ducts 201 and air outlets 202, but the present invention is not limited to this. There can be more air outlet ducts 201 and air outlets 202, such as 3, 4, 5 or 6.
[0079] The following describes an air conditioner 1000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. It is worth understanding that the following description is merely exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
[0080] like Figures 2-4 and Figure 8As shown, an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: an air outlet frame assembly 100, a water collection tray, a switch door 300, and the aforementioned top cover 1002. The top cover 1002 is used in the air conditioner 1000, which has the air outlet frame assembly 100 located below the top cover 1002 and having an air outlet duct 201 and an air outlet 202 communicating with the air outlet duct 201. The upper end of the air outlet 202 extends to the top cover 1002. Two air outlets 202 are spaced apart along the width direction of the air outlet frame assembly 100, and two air outlet ducts 201 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of air outlets 202.
[0081] Furthermore, such as Figure 5-Figure 8 As shown, the top cover 1002 includes: a cover body 1008, the upper surface of which has a water channel 1004, and the bottom wall of the water channel 1004 has a connecting hole 1003.
