Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of air conditioning water pipe technology, specifically, it relates to an air conditioning water pipe structure. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioners, as essential devices for regulating indoor temperature and humidity, are widely used in modern living and working environments. During operation, the evaporator produces condensate, and the drain pipe's function is to safely and effectively remove this condensate. In an air conditioning system, the evaporator exchanges heat with the air, causing the moisture in the air to condense into liquid water. This condensate needs to be drained promptly to ensure the normal operation of the air conditioning system and a dry and comfortable indoor environment.

[0003] The patent application, CN202648094U, describes "an air conditioner and a water-guiding device for an air conditioner drain pipe." This invention has solved several technical drawbacks that caused inconvenience to users, such as consumers complaining or contacting after-sales service centers because they did not know why the drain pipe was not draining water, which greatly reduced user satisfaction with split-type air conditioners.

[0004] However, there are still many drawbacks when using similar air conditioner water pipes: specifically, during the operation of the air conditioner, the evaporator produces condensate, and the water pipe is prone to blockage due to dust adsorbed by the evaporator during the process of guiding the condensate out. This blockage problem will have many adverse effects on the normal operation of the air conditioner. In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An air conditioner water pipe structure includes a water pipe body, an anti-clogging mechanism for filtering impurities in condensate is fixedly installed at the top inside the water pipe body, and auxiliary fixing mechanisms for fixing the installation position of the device are installed at equal intervals on one side of the water pipe body.

[0007] The anti-clogging mechanism includes a transfer box, inside which a nanoporous plate is fixedly installed. On the other side of the water pipe body, a storage box is fixedly installed. Inside the storage box, a non-woven fabric board is fixedly installed at the bottom. A through groove is opened on the top and bottom of one side of the storage box.

[0008] The auxiliary fixing mechanism includes a hollow base, on one side of which two sets of suction cups are fixedly installed.

[0009] Preferably, the water pipe body includes a heat-insulating middle layer sleeve, a sealing inner layer sleeve is sleeved on the inner side of the heat-insulating middle layer sleeve, and a protective outer layer sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the heat-insulating middle layer sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, a one-way valve pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the front side of the hollow seat, and a vent pipe is fixedly installed on the bottom of the front side of the hollow seat, with a cap threaded onto one end of the vent pipe.

[0011] Preferably, a hinge is fixedly installed on the top front of the storage box, and a door is movably installed on one side of the hinge.

[0012] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed at the top of the water inlet pipe body, and a docking groove is provided at the top of the water inlet pipe.

[0013] Preferably, a water outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the water inlet pipe body, and the top of the water outlet pipe is connected to the bottom of the water inlet pipe body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] This invention facilitates the transfer of condensate containing impurities and dust within the main body of the water inlet pipe via a transfer box. The porous structure of the nanoporous plate allows for easy filtration of impurities in the condensate. The inclined surface of the nanoporous plate then transports the filtered impurities to a storage box for storage. The high adsorption capacity of the non-woven fabric board further separates the water source from the impurities, and the filtered water is then discharged back into the main body of the water inlet pipe. This achieves an anti-clogging function, preventing the accumulation of dust and other impurities in the air conditioning evaporator, which can lead to pipe blockage over time. This filtration structure prevents blockage of the water inlet pipe, ensuring smooth drainage of condensate and avoiding problems such as indoor water accumulation, damage to the air conditioning unit, and structural damage to buildings caused by poor drainage. It is highly practical.

[0016] This invention allows operators to install the device in a designated location. Pressing the hollow base moves the suction cup against a wall, expelling air from inside the suction cup through a one-way valve, creating a negative pressure environment. This negative pressure facilitates the auxiliary fixation of the device. To remove the device, rotating the vent cap releases the suction cup. The combination of the suction cup and the hollow base provides auxiliary fixation, ensuring a stable installation and preventing the device from detaching over time, thus facilitating its widespread use.

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an air conditioner water pipe structure includes a water pipe body 1, an anti-clogging mechanism 2 for filtering impurities in condensate water is fixedly installed on the top inside the water pipe body 1, and an auxiliary fixing mechanism 3 for fixing the installation position of the device is installed at equal intervals on one side of the water pipe body 1.

[0026] The anti-clogging mechanism 2 includes a transfer box 201, a nanoporous plate 202 is fixedly installed inside the transfer box 201, a storage box 203 is fixedly installed on the other side of the water pipe body 1, a non-woven fabric plate 204 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the storage box 203, and a through groove is opened on the top and bottom of one side of the storage box 203.

[0027] The auxiliary fixing mechanism 3 includes a hollow base 301, and two sets of suction cups 302 are fixedly installed on one side of the hollow base 301;

[0028] The transfer box 201 facilitates the transfer of condensate containing impurities and dust inside the water pipe body 1, and the porous structure of the nanoporous plate 202 facilitates the filtration of impurities in the condensate. The filtered impurities are then transported to the storage box 203 for storage through the inclined surface of the nanoporous plate 202.

[0029] The high adsorption capacity of the non-woven fabric board 204 facilitates further separation of water from impurities, and the filtered water is then transported to the water inlet pipe body 1 for discharge, thus achieving the function of preventing blockage and ensuring smooth discharge of condensate.

[0030] The water pipe body 1 includes a heat-insulating middle layer sleeve 102, a sealing inner layer sleeve 103 is sleeved and installed inside the heat-insulating middle layer sleeve 102, and a protective outer layer sleeve 101 is sleeved and installed outside the heat-insulating middle layer sleeve 102.

[0031] The protective outer sleeve 101 is designed to resist external physical impacts and wear. For example, it may collide with other objects during installation or be rubbed by walls, furniture, etc. during daily use. The protective outer sleeve 101 can effectively protect the internal structure from damage. At the same time, it can also block dust, debris, etc. from entering the sleeve to a certain extent, thus playing a preliminary protective role.

[0032] The main function of the thermal insulation middle layer sleeve 102 is to reduce the impact of refrigerant temperature on the water pipe during air conditioning operation. Because the temperature of the refrigerant is significantly different from the ambient temperature when the air conditioner is cooling or heating, if the water pipe is directly affected, it may cause condensation on the surface of the water pipe, affecting the performance and potentially causing water leakage. The thermal insulation middle layer sleeve 102 maintains a stable water temperature inside the water pipe through insulation, preventing condensation and also helping to extend the service life of the water pipe.

[0033] The sealing inner sleeve 103 ensures the sealing of the water flow inside the water inlet pipe, preventing water from leaking out of the water inlet pipe. Through its good sealing performance, the sealing inner sleeve 103 ensures the normal operation of the air conditioning drainage system and avoids a series of adverse consequences caused by water leakage.

[0034] These three layers of sleeves work together to provide comprehensive protection for the air conditioning water pipe. The outer protective sleeve 101 protects against external physical damage and impurities, the thermal insulation middle sleeve 102 maintains a suitable water temperature environment and prevents condensation, and the sealing inner sleeve 103 ensures a leak-free water flow. Overall, this improves the durability, reliability, and safety of the water pipe, reduces maintenance costs and potential losses caused by water pipe problems, ensures the stable and efficient operation of the air conditioning system, and provides good protection for the indoor environment, avoiding various troubles and damages that may be caused by water leakage.

[0035] A one-way valve pipe 303 is fixedly installed on the top of the front of the hollow seat 301, and a vent pipe 304 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the front of the hollow seat 301, with a cap threaded onto one end of the vent pipe 304.

[0036] After the operator installs the device in the designated position, pressing the hollow base 301 will move the suction cup 302 to the wall for contact, thereby expelling the air inside the suction cup 302 through the one-way valve pipe 303, making the inside of the suction cup 302 a negative pressure state. The suction cup 302 in a negative pressure state can facilitate auxiliary fixation of the device. When it is necessary to remove the device, the suction state of the suction cup 302 can be released by rotating the cover of the vent pipe 304. The suction cup 302 and the hollow base 301 work together to achieve the function of auxiliary fixation of the device.

[0037] A hinge is fixedly installed on the top front of the storage box 203, and a door 4 is movably installed on one side of the hinge. By opening the door 4, it is convenient for operators to clean or replace the non-woven fabric board 204, and also convenient to collect and process the impurities stored inside the storage box 203.

[0038] The top of the water inlet pipe body 1 is fixedly installed with a water inlet pipe 5, and the top of the water inlet pipe 5 is provided with a docking groove. The device can be easily installed below the evaporator of the indoor unit of the air conditioner by using the water inlet pipe 5 in conjunction with the docking groove. There is a special drain groove on the evaporator. The water inlet pipe is connected to the drain groove to collect the condensate dripping from the surface of the evaporator. The condensate can then be collected and transported through the water inlet pipe body 1.

[0039] A water outlet pipe 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water inlet pipe body 1, and the top of the water outlet pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the water inlet pipe body 1. After the water outlet pipe 6 is connected to the external equipment, it is convenient to discharge the air conditioner condensate, thus facilitating the drainage of the air conditioner condensate.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
