Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of military equipment technology, specifically to an air conditioner condensate removal device and its air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the removal of condensate from the air conditioning systems in modular shelters and armored vehicles is mainly achieved through drain pipes. Drain nozzles are welded to both ends of the bottom of the water tank, using gravity to drain the condensate outside the shelter.

[0003] However, existing air conditioning condensate drainage solutions have some obvious drawbacks:

[0004] On the one hand, a drain pipe needs to be connected to remove condensate, which increases the complexity of installation and maintenance; on the other hand, the drain pipe is prone to aging, blockage or damage, which prevents condensate from being discharged smoothly and affects the normal operation of the equipment.

[0005] On the other hand, when the cabin is tilted, condensate can easily overflow from the water tank and flow into the cabin. This can not only damage equipment and internal facilities, but also pose a potential safety threat to personnel.

[0006] Therefore, it is crucial to develop a device that can automatically remove condensate without expelling it from the cabin / armored vehicle's air conditioning system. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is how to automatically remove the condensate from the air conditioner of the container / armored vehicle without having to discharge the condensate outside the container.

[0008] In a first aspect, to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an air conditioning condensate removal device, wherein the air conditioner is installed in a modular shelter / armored vehicle, comprising:

[0009] A pipe assembly having a water inlet and a water outlet, wherein condensate in the pipe assembly can only enter from the water inlet and spray out from the water outlet in one direction.

[0010] A liquid treatment component that converts the liquid water drawn in by the suction port into a gaseous state; and

[0011] An exhaust device is provided near the water outlet, which can discharge the gaseous condensate processed by the liquid treatment component into the air.

[0012] Optionally, the liquid processing component is an evaporation component or an atomization component.

[0013] Optionally, the exhaust component is a condenser fan, an external fan, or an axial flow fan.

[0014] Furthermore, the piping assembly includes a drain nozzle, a water pump, and a one-way valve that are interconnected. The drain nozzle is located at the water inlet and placed in the water tank. The water pump draws condensate from the water tank through the drain nozzle. The one-way valve is located between the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0015] Furthermore, at least two drain nozzles are provided and welded and fixed to both ends of the bottom of the water tank in the horizontal direction; the drain nozzles can be connected to the water pump via a Y-shaped tee.

[0016] Furthermore, the drain nozzle has a hollow cylindrical structure; the contact end between the drain nozzle and the bottom of the water tank is provided with an opposing arched hole for condensate to be drawn in; the outer surface of the end of the drain nozzle away from the water tank is provided with an external thread that can seal and communicate with a rubber hose.

[0017] Furthermore, the piping assembly also includes a spray pipe, wherein:

[0018] A liquid seal pipe for storing condensate to form a liquid seal is provided between the spray pipe and the one-way valve;

[0019] And / or, there is a height difference between the spray pipe and the one-way valve in the same space, and the spray pipe is higher than the one-way valve to store condensate and form a liquid seal.

[0020] Optionally, the evaporation component is a condenser, the spray pipe has N outlet holes, and the air inlet side of the condenser is spaced apart from the outlet holes; a condenser fan is provided on the side of the condenser away from the spray pipe.

[0021] Optionally, the pipeline assembly further includes the atomizing component, which is an ultrasonic atomizer. The ultrasonic atomizer is disposed at the water outlet, and the external fan is disposed between the water outlet and the water outlet.

[0022] In a second aspect, this utility model provides an air conditioner installed in a container or armored vehicle, wherein the air conditioner is equipped with the aforementioned air conditioner condensate removal device.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This invention eliminates the existing drain pipe that discharges condensate to the outside of the cabin. By designing a pipe assembly, a liquid treatment assembly, and an exhaust device, the liquid condensate in the water tank is treated into gaseous water vapor and automatically discharged into the air. At the same time, the one-way valve prevents the condensate from flowing back and overflowing from the water tank. In addition, the pipe assembly has a structure that stores condensate to form a liquid seal, preventing bacteria and other harmful substances from entering the cabin through the pipe assembly and endangering personnel safety.

[0033] To make the technical solutions and effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.

[0034] The first aspect of this utility model aims to provide an air conditioning condensate removal device, wherein the air conditioner is installed on a modular shelter / armored vehicle. Its purpose is to eliminate the need for existing drain pipes, preventing condensate from being discharged outside the shelter; simultaneously, it prevents condensate from overflowing from the water tank and flowing into the shelter's interior when the shelter is tilted; and it also prevents harmful substances such as germs from entering the shelter through the drain pipe and endangering personnel safety.

[0035] The air conditioner condensate removal device includes a pipe assembly 100, a liquid treatment assembly 200, and an exhaust component 300. The pipe assembly 100 is connected to a water tank 000 and has a suction port and an outlet 160. Condensate in the pipe assembly 100 can only enter from the suction port and exit from the outlet 160 in a unidirectional manner. The liquid treatment assembly 200 converts the liquid water drawn in by the suction port into a gaseous state. The exhaust component 300 is located adjacent to the outlet 160, and its function is to discharge the gaseous condensate treated by the liquid treatment assembly 200 into the air.

[0036] The liquid treatment component 200 in this invention can be an evaporation component or an atomization component. Since their technical principles are different, the following description will focus on two embodiments, categorized as either an evaporation component or an atomization component.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] The liquid handling component 200 is an evaporation component.

[0039] First, the pipe assembly 100 in this embodiment will be described.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 The pipe assembly 100, from the water inlet to the water outlet 160, includes a drain nozzle 110, a water pump 130, a one-way valve 140, and a water outlet 160 that are interconnected. The components in the pipe assembly 100 can be connected by rubber hoses.

[0041] Those skilled in the art can interpret this as follows: the drain nozzle 110 is installed at the water inlet and placed in the water tank 000, and the condensate in the water tank 000 is drawn in through the drain nozzle 110 by the water pump 130; the one-way valve 140 is installed between the water inlet and the water outlet 160.

[0042] Those skilled in the art can interpret that the one-way valve 140 is designed to prevent condensate from flowing back into the water tank 000 when the water pump 130 stops working, causing the condensate to overflow from the water tank 000.

[0043] In a further embodiment, at least two drain nozzles 110 are provided, and the drain nozzles 110 are welded and fixed to the two ends of the bottom of the water tank 000 in the horizontal direction.

[0044] In the first alternative of this embodiment, the drain nozzle 110 can be connected to the water pump 130 via a Y-shaped tee 120.

[0045] In the second alternative of this embodiment, the Y-tee 120 is not required in the pipe assembly 100. The solution is to increase the number of corresponding water pumps 130, that is, one drain nozzle 110 corresponds to one water pump 130.

[0046] In the third alternative of this embodiment, the Y-tee 120 is retained in the pipe assembly 100. The implementation is to increase the number of water pumps 130 and then move the Y-tee 120 between the water pump 130 and the outlet hole 160 to collect the condensate output by the water pump 130.

[0047] In the fourth alternative embodiment, a liquid seal pipe 150 is provided between the spray pipe and the one-way valve 140 to store condensate and form a liquid seal.

[0048] In the fifth alternative embodiment, a height difference is provided between the spray pipe and the one-way valve 140 in the same space, and the spray pipe is higher than the one-way valve 140 to store condensate and form a liquid seal.

[0049] Those skilled in the art can interpret this as meaning that the automatic storage of condensate in the pipe assembly 100 to form a liquid seal can prevent harmful substances such as bacteria from entering the cabin through the pipe assembly 100 and endangering personnel safety.

[0050] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2-3 The drain nozzle 110 has a hollow cylindrical structure; the contact end of the drain nozzle 110 with the bottom of the water tank 000 is provided with an opposing arched hole 111 for condensate to be drawn in; the outer surface of the end of the drain nozzle 110 away from the water tank 000 is provided with an external thread 112 that can be sealed and connected with a rubber hose.

[0051] Next, the liquid handling component 200 in this embodiment will be described.

[0052] The evaporation component can be a condenser, and the spray pipe has N water outlet holes 160. The air inlet side of the condenser is spaced apart from the water outlet holes 160. A condenser fan is installed on the side of the condenser away from the spray pipe.

[0053] Optionally, the exhaust unit 300 can also be an external fan or an axial flow fan.

[0054] Those skilled in the art can interpret this as follows: When the automatic condensate drain device is working, the condenser fan also operates, and the air conditioner is in cooling mode. The water pump 130 is turned on, and condensate from the water tank 000 is drawn into the pipe assembly 100 through the drain nozzle 110. The condensate from the two drain nozzles 110 is collected via the Y-shaped tee 120 and then transported to the spray pipe. The liquid condensate is sprayed onto the condenser through multiple water outlets 160 on the spray pipe. The airflow generated by the condenser fan causes the condensate to adhere to the condenser. Simultaneously, because the condenser surface temperature is high when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the condensate adhering to the condenser changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state of water vapor due to evaporation and heat absorption. The gaseous water vapor is automatically discharged into the air along with the airflow generated by the condenser fan, thus achieving the effect of automatic condensate draining from the water tank 000.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] The liquid handling component 200 is an atomizing component.

[0057] First, the pipe assembly 100 in this second embodiment will be described.

[0058] In Embodiment 2, an atomizing component can be added to the pipe assembly 100 disclosed in Embodiment 1.

[0059] Optionally, the atomizing component may be an ultrasonic atomizer, but is not limited to this.

[0060] In a further embodiment, the atomizing component is located at the water outlet 160. An external fan is installed in the gap of the water outlet 160.

[0061] It should be noted that since Embodiment 2 uses atomizing components to provide atomization technology to turn the liquid water in the water tank 000 into gaseous water vapor, there is no need for a cooler in Embodiment 2.

[0062] A second aspect of this utility model aims to protect an air conditioner installed in a shelter or armored vehicle, the air conditioner being equipped with the aforementioned air conditioner condensate removal device.

[0063] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
