[0051] In the related art, the kitchen air conditioner internally includes an evaporator and a water pan for collecting condensate water generated by the evaporator. However, in the related art, a water pan is generally arranged at the bottom of the evaporator, and in order to ensure the water receiving capacity of the water pan, the size of the water pan is generally made larger, and when the condensate water in the water pan is transported to the outside of the kitchen air conditioner, a drain pipe or the like is arranged on the water pan. In this way, the drain pipe occupies a part of the capacity of the water pan, affecting the water receiving capacity of the water pan, and because the size of the water pan is large, the space occupied in the kitchen air conditioner is large, the space utilization rate of the kitchen air conditioner is low, and the arrangement of other structures in the kitchen air conditioner is affected.

[0052] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a kitchen air conditioner, which comprises a first water receiving component and a second water receiving component. In this way, the structure layout inside the shell can be flexibly adapted, so that other components in the air conditioner can be more reasonably arranged and disposed, which not only improves the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the kitchen air conditioner, but also provides the possibility of increasing other functional modules. In addition, the reduced height and width occupation can also have a positive impact on the air circulation and heat exchange efficiency of the kitchen air conditioner, thereby improving the overall performance of the air conditioner.

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0054] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of the present application provide a kitchen air conditioner, which comprises a shell, an evaporator assembly 210 and a water receiving assembly 300; the evaporator assembly 210 and the water receiving assembly 300 are arranged in the shell.

[0055] In the embodiments of the present application, the material of the shell is not limited. For example, the shell can be made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and heat resistance, and is easy to clean and maintain; or the shell can be made of aluminum alloy, which is light and has good corrosion resistance and good heat conduction performance, which can help heat dissipation. The present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the evaporator assembly 210 is not limited. For example, the evaporator assembly 210 is composed of two inclined evaporator units, the cross sections of the two evaporator units form a "V" shape, and the evaporator units are usually provided with fins, which increase the heat exchange surface area and help improve the heat transfer efficiency between air and refrigerant.

[0057] The working principle of the evaporator assembly 210 is that the refrigerant enters the coil under the action of the compressor, and when the air passes through the evaporator assembly 210, the heat in the air is absorbed by the refrigerant, the refrigerant evaporates after absorbing the heat, becomes gaseous, and the air is cooled. In the heat exchange process, the moisture in the air will condense on the surface of the evaporator assembly 210 to form condensed water. Among them, the V-shaped design helps to guide the condensed water to flow to the water receiving assembly 300.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the water receiving assembly 300 includes a first water receiving part 310, which is arranged below the evaporator assembly 210, and is configured to collect the condensed water of the evaporator assembly 210.

[0059] In the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the first water receiving part 310 is not limited. For example, the first water receiving part 310 can be a water receiving tray, wherein the shape and size of the water receiving tray can be determined according to the size of the evaporator assembly 210 and the expected flow of the condensed water; in addition, the material of the first water receiving part 310 is not limited. For example, the first water receiving part 310 can be made of plastic material, which is light, corrosion-resistant, and easy to shape. The present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0060] In this way, the first water receiving part 310 is located below the evaporator assembly 210, which can quickly collect condensed water and prevent water droplets from falling into other parts of the air conditioning system, ensuring that other components of the system are not affected by the condensed water.

[0061] In order to reduce the size of the water receiving tray in the related art and thus reduce the internal space occupied by the kitchen air conditioner, in the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 6 to 8 , the water receiving assembly 300 further includes a second water receiving part 320, which is in communication with the first water receiving part 310 and is located downstream of the first water receiving part 310 in the water flow direction, and is arranged below the first water receiving part 310. The second water receiving part 320 is configured to collect the condensed water in the first water receiving part 310, and the outlet of the second water receiving part 320 is in communication with the outside of the shell.

[0062] In the embodiments of the present application, the second water receiving part 320 is located downstream of the first water receiving part 310 in the water flow direction, the first water receiving part 310 collects the preliminary condensed water, and the second water receiving part 320 is responsible for collecting the water that may overflow, ensuring that the condensed water does not leak to other parts of the system; in addition, the water flow naturally flows from the first water receiving part 310 to the second water receiving part 320, forming a smooth flow path, and using gravity and the flow direction to ensure that the condensed water can be efficiently discharged from the system.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the second water receiving member 320 is not limited. For example, the first water receiving member 310 can be a water tank, which can be square or rectangular for easy manufacturing and installation. In addition, the material of the water tank is not limited and can be set according to actual needs.

[0064] In this way, on the one hand, the water tank can accommodate a larger amount of condensed water, and the large-capacity design reduces the need for frequent drainage. On the other hand, the design of the water tank can play a buffering role to balance the inflow and outflow speed of the condensed water. This helps to prevent the system from overflowing when the amount of condensed water generated is large in a short period of time. On the other hand, the shape of the water tank is not limited, and the water tank can be designed and installed according to the internal space layout of the kitchen air conditioner. On the other hand, the additional second water receiving member 320 can reduce the space occupation of the first water receiving member 310, thereby avoiding affecting the water receiving capacity of the first water receiving member 310, and at the same time, the size of the first water receiving member 310 can be made smaller.

[0065] Therefore, the kitchen air conditioner provided in the embodiments of the present application has smaller height and width occupation of the first water receiving member 310 and the second water receiving member 320 inside the shell, which can flexibly adapt to the structural layout inside the shell, so that other components inside the air conditioner can be more reasonably arranged and disposed, not only improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the kitchen air conditioner, but also possibly providing the possibility of increasing other functional modules. In addition, the reduced height and width occupation can also have a positive impact on the air circulation and heat exchange efficiency of the kitchen air conditioner, thereby improving the overall performance of the air conditioner.

[0066] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first water receiving member 310 has a first water receiving cavity 311 with an opening facing upward, and the bottom of the evaporator assembly 210 is located inside the first water receiving cavity 311. In this way, the condensed water can directly drop into the first water receiving cavity 311 and be quickly and effectively collected, reducing the risk of water droplets splashing or flowing out.

[0067] In this way, on the one hand, the water tank can accommodate a larger amount of condensed water, and the large-capacity design reduces the need for frequent drainage. On the other hand, the design of the water tank can play a buffering role to balance the inflow and outflow speed of the condensed water. This helps to prevent the system from overflowing when the amount of condensed water generated is large in a short period of time. On the other hand, the shape of the water tank is not limited, and the water tank can be designed and installed according to the internal space layout of the kitchen air conditioner. On the other hand, the additional second water receiving member 320 can reduce the space occupation of the first water receiving member 310, thereby avoiding affecting the water receiving capacity of the first water receiving member 310, and at the same time, the size of the first water receiving member 310 can be made smaller.

[0068] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, Figure 4As shown, along the height direction of the shell, the second water receiving member 320 is arranged in a staggered manner with the first water receiving member 310. The first water receiving member 310 partially overlaps the second water receiving member 320 in the orthographic projection on the plane where the second water receiving member 320 is located.

[0069] In this way, the second water receiving member 320 can collect the condensed water that the first water receiving member 310 fails to collect completely, which helps to ensure that the condensed water can be effectively collected by the second water receiving member 320 even when there is a large amount of condensed water, thereby reducing the risk of overflow and leakage.

[0070] It should be noted that the positional relationship between the first water receiving member 310 and the second water receiving member 320 is not limited. For example, the kitchen air conditioner includes a front panel and a back panel arranged oppositely, and the front panel is located at the front side of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0071] In this way, along the direction from the front panel 110 to the back panel 140, the first water receiving member 310 can be close to the side of the front panel 110, the second water receiving member 320 can be close to the side of the back panel 140, and the second water receiving member 320 can be located below and to the left of the first water receiving member 310, so that the condensed water can be guided from the left side of the first water receiving member 310; or the first water receiving member 310 can be close to the side of the back panel 140, and the second water receiving member 320 can be close to the side of the front panel 110.

[0072] Alternatively, along the direction from the front panel 110 to the back panel 140, the first water receiving member 310 can be close to the side of the back panel 140, and the second water receiving member 320 can be close to the side of the front panel 110, and the second water receiving member 320 can be located below and to the right of the first water receiving member 310, so that the condensed water can be guided from the right side of the first water receiving member 310. The present embodiment does not limit this.

[0073] In an implementable embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner can further include an electric control box 500. The electric control box 500 generally has a circuit board installed therein, and the circuit board is used to control the range hood unit and the air conditioning unit inside the kitchen air conditioner.

[0074] In the present embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, along the height direction of the shell, the electric control box 500 is located below the first water receiving member 310. In this way, the condensed water can be effectively prevented from directly dropping onto the electric control box 500, thereby reducing the risk of the electric control box 500 contacting the condensed water and improving the safety and reliability of the electric control box 500.

[0075] The electric control box 500 and the second water receiving part 320 are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and the second water receiving part 320 is located at the side of the electric control box 500. In this way, the risk of the condensed water directly falling on the electric control box 500 can be reduced. In addition, the side-by-side arrangement can make full use of the space inside the kitchen air conditioner, help to maximize the function in a limited space, and also make it easier for maintenance personnel to access and maintain the electric control box 500.

[0076] In an implementable embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The air supply fan 220 is configured to blow the cold air cooled by the evaporator assembly 210 to the outside of the shell. In this way, under the action of the air supply fan 220, the cooled air can be quickly and effectively distributed to various areas of the kitchen, improving user comfort. In addition, the configuration of the air supply fan 220 can optimize air flow, reduce the stagnation and waste of cold air, and thus improve the energy efficiency of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0077] In an implementable embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The air supply fan 220 is located between the first water receiving part 310 and the electric control box 500 in the height direction of the shell.

[0078] In this way, on the one hand, the air supply fan 220 is closer to the evaporator assembly 210, which can more effectively send out the air cooled by the evaporator assembly 210, improving the air supply efficiency and overall refrigeration effect of the kitchen air conditioner. On the other hand, the air supply fan 220 can heat the electric control box 500 to some extent, prolonging the service life of the electric control box 500. On the other hand, the air supply fan 220 is arranged between the first water receiving part 310 and the electric control box 500, forming a physical barrier and further reducing the potential impact of the condensed water on the electric control box 500, thereby enhancing the safety of the equipment.

[0079] In an implementable embodiment, referring to Figure 4 The water guide pipe 330 can be further included. The bottom surface of the first water receiving part 310 is provided with a water outlet, and the second water receiving part 320 and the water outlet of the first water receiving part 310 are connected through the water guide pipe 330. The water guide pipe 330 is configured to guide the condensed water in the first water receiving part 310 to the second water receiving part 320.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present application, the material, shape and size of the water guide pipe 330 are not limited. For example, the water guide pipe 330 can be made of plastic material, which has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, low cost, and easy processing and installation. Alternatively, the water guide pipe 330 can be made of rubber or silicone material, which has the advantages of good flexibility, high and low temperature resistance, etc. The present embodiment does not limit this.

[0081] In this way, the provision of the water guide pipe 330 provides greater design flexibility, which can be adjusted according to the specific kitchen air conditioning system requirements to adapt to different installation environments and structural requirements; at the same time, the condensate water in the first water receiving member 310 can flow smoothly into the second water receiving member 320, and this design ensures efficient collection and discharge of the condensate water, reducing the risk of water overflow or accumulation.

[0082] In the height direction of the shell, the water outlet is located at the lowest position of the bottom surface of the first water receiving member 310. In this way, the condensate water can quickly flow to the water outlet, minimizing the retention of condensate water in the first water receiving member 310, and improving the discharge efficiency of the condensate water.

[0083] In an implementable embodiment, the second water receiving member 320 can include a shell, the interior of which is hollow to form a second water receiving cavity 321, and the top of the shell is provided with an inlet for connecting with the outlet of the water guide pipe 330.

[0084] In this way, the closed design of the second water receiving cavity 321 ensures that the condensate water flowing from the first water receiving member 310 can be effectively collected, avoiding evaporation and overflow of water, and improving the efficiency of overall water management; in addition, the collection and discharge process of the condensate water is more controllable, reducing the accumulation of scale and impurities in the system, and reducing the frequency and difficulty of maintenance and cleaning.

[0085] In an implementable embodiment, the top of the second water receiving member 320 can be an open structure, the second water receiving member 320 has a second water receiving cavity 321, the water guide pipe extends into the second water receiving cavity 321 from the open structure, and the outlet of the water guide pipe is located in the second water receiving cavity 321.

[0086] In this way, the open structure allows the condensate water to flow smoothly into the second water receiving cavity 321, reducing water flow resistance and improving water flow guiding efficiency; in addition, the requirement for the sealing performance of the water guide pipe is reduced, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost, and also reducing the potential risk of leakage due to poor sealing.

[0087] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1-7, the kitchen air conditioning system further includes a water guide pipe 330, the water guide pipe 330 is arranged in the first water receiving member 310, and the water guide pipe 330 is arranged to guide the condensate water in the first water receiving member 310 to flow into the second water receiving member 320. Figure 4 and Figure 7 In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1-7, the kitchen air conditioning system further includes a water guide pipe 330, the water guide pipe 330 is arranged in the first water receiving member 310, and the water guide pipe 330 is arranged to guide the condensate water in the first water receiving member 310 to flow into the second water receiving member 320.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, the drain pump 700 is usually made of corrosion-resistant plastic or metal to resist corrosion of the condensed water. The drain pump 700 drives the impeller to rotate by the motor, and effectively transports the condensed water from the second water receiving cavity 321 to the housing opening 131 by centrifugal force.

[0089] In this way, the introduction of the drain pump 700 significantly improves the drainage capacity of the condensed water, ensuring efficient operation of the system; in addition, the drain pump 700 is arranged in the second water receiving cavity 321, which can avoid occupying the space of the first water receiving member 310, thereby realizing the integration of complex functions using limited internal space, optimizing the space layout inside the air conditioner, and making the overall structure more compact.

[0090] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1-3, the air conditioner can further include a drain pump 700. The drain pump 700 is arranged in the second water receiving cavity 321, and the outlet of the drain pump 700 is in communication with the housing opening 131. In this way, the condensed water is pressurized by the drain pump 700 and then enters the inlet of the drain pipe 600 through the outlet of the drain pump 700, and at this time, the kinetic energy and pressure of the water flow enable it to flow in the drain pipe 600. Figure 4 Figure 7 In this way, the introduction of the drain pump 700 significantly improves the drainage capacity of the condensed water, ensuring efficient operation of the system; in addition, the drain pump 700 is arranged in the second water receiving cavity 321, which can avoid occupying the space of the first water receiving member 310, thereby realizing the integration of complex functions using limited internal space, optimizing the space layout inside the air conditioner, and making the overall structure more compact.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, the drain pipe 600 can be designed as a straight pipe; or as a pipe with appropriate bending, which is not limited in the present embodiments and can be designed according to actual installation requirements.

[0092] In this way, the design of the drain pipe 600 reduces the risk of leakage of the condensed water when flowing between different components, provides additional protection and guidance, reduces the possibility of water overflow in the system, and at the same time, helps to optimize the space layout inside the air conditioner, making the overall structure more compact and avoiding unnecessary space occupation.

[0093] The embodiments of the present application provide a kitchen air conditioner, which includes a first water receiving member and a second water receiving member, so that it can flexibly adapt to the structural layout inside the housing, so that other components inside the air conditioner can be more reasonably arranged and disposed, not only improving the utilization efficiency of the internal space of the kitchen air conditioner, but also possibly providing the possibility of adding other functional modules. In addition, the reduced height and width occupation can also have a positive impact on the air circulation and heat exchange efficiency of the kitchen air conditioner, thereby improving the overall performance of the air conditioner.
