Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water receiving technology for air conditioners, specifically a water receiving structure for evaporative water-cooled air conditioners. Background Technology
[0002] The drain pan for evaporative water-cooled air conditioners is an accessory included with the installation. This accessory is mainly installed on the outdoor unit and its function is to guide the defrost water produced when the air conditioner is heating and defrosting to the drain pipe of the outdoor unit. Properly, the defrost water should not flow everywhere. In some buildings, the ground where the air conditioner unit is located is not waterproofed, and if there is water for a long time, it will seep into the floor below and affect the downstairs neighbors. Sometimes, if a drain pan is not installed, the defrost water produced by the air conditioner will also wet the exterior walls, which will affect the decoration of the house.
[0003] When using existing evaporative water-cooled air conditioner water collection trays, the bottom of the trays is in prolonged contact with water, which makes it easy for algae to grow on the bottom. The existing water collection structure is inconvenient to install on the surface of the outdoor unit, and the exposed water collection box is prone to dust accumulation.
[0004] Therefore, we need a water receiving structure for evaporative water-cooled air conditioners to solve the problem of installing and disassembling the existing water receiving box for evaporative water-cooled air conditioners, and also to allow for the removal of the filter screen of the air conditioner water receiving box. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water receiving structure for evaporative water-cooled air conditioners, so as to solve the problem of installation and disassembly of the existing water receiving box for evaporative water-cooled air conditioners mentioned in the background art, and also to realize the disassembly of the filter screen of the air conditioner water receiving box.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water collection structure for an evaporative water-cooled air conditioner, comprising an outdoor unit body, the bottom surface of which is fixedly connected to the top surface of a mounting bracket, the inner wall of which is provided with an integrally formed crossbar, the surface of which is attached to a hook, the surface of which is fixedly connected to the back surface of a water droplet collection box, and the interior of which is provided with a filter screen.
[0007] Preferably, the inside of the water droplet storage box is provided with a filter frame mounting groove, the surface of the filter frame mounting groove is movably connected to a filter frame, the inner surface of the filter frame is fixedly connected to a filter plate, and the inner surface of the filter frame is provided with a snap-on groove.
[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the water droplet storage box is provided with a storage groove, which is connected to the filter frame mounting groove. A rotating pin is fixedly connected to the surface of the storage groove, and the surface of the rotating pin is rotatably connected to the inside of the extrusion plate. The bottom surface of the extrusion plate abuts against the top surface of the filter frame mounting frame, and the cross-section of the extrusion plate is T-shaped.
[0009] Preferably, the depth of the storage slot is equal to the height of the extrusion plate, and there are two storage slots, which are arranged symmetrically around the center point of the water droplet storage box.
[0010] Preferably, an electric heating rod is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the water droplet storage box, and a drain pipe is provided on the bottom surface of the water droplet storage box.
[0011] Preferably, the mounting bracket is triangular in shape, and screw holes are provided on the back surface of the mounting bracket. There are two mounting brackets, and the two mounting brackets are symmetrically arranged around the center point of the crossbeam.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By fixing the bottom surface of the air conditioner outdoor unit to the top surface of the mounting bracket, the air conditioner outdoor unit can be clamped and installed. By attaching the surface of the hook to the surface of the crossbar and fixing the surface of the hook to the back surface of the water droplet collection box, the water droplet collection box can be stably installed and easily removed from the surface of the mounting bracket. By setting a filter screen inside the water droplet collection box, the water discharged from the air conditioner outdoor unit can be collected through the water droplet collection box. At the same time, the filter screen prevents dust in the air from entering the interior of the water droplet collection box. By fixing an electric heating rod to the inner bottom surface of the water droplet collection box, the water inside the water droplet collection box is heated when the electric heating rod is turned on, preventing algae from growing inside the water droplet collection box if it is left for a long time. This further solves the problem of installation and disassembly of the water collection box for existing evaporative water-cooled air conditioners and also allows for the removal of the filter screen of the air conditioner water collection box.
