[0021] In an implementable embodiment, an extension edge is provided on the drainage pump, and the extension edge is connected to at least one side surface of the enclosing member in the thickness direction of the enclosing member.

[0022] A first mounting hole is formed on the extension edge, and a second mounting hole is formed on the enclosing member, and the first mounting hole is opposite to the second mounting hole and is connected by a fastener.

[0023] In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to provide multi-point support and fixation, improve the installation stability of the drainage pump, and reduce the vibration and displacement of the drainage pump; on the other hand, the design of the extension edge increases the contact area of the drainage pump and the enclosing member, which helps to disperse the stress concentration point and improve the strength and durability of the overall structure.

[0030] In an implementable embodiment, a mounting boss is arranged around the opening, and the enclosure is lapped on the upper end surface of the mounting boss.

[0031] In this way, the mounting stability of the enclosure is improved, and displacement or loosening caused by vibration or external force is reduced; in addition, the enclosure is lapped on the mounting boss to form a continuous contact surface, which helps to achieve better sealing effect and prevent leakage of condensed water; and this design allows application in water tanks of different sizes and shapes, and by adjusting the height and shape of the mounting boss, different design requirements can be met, and the design flexibility is higher.

[0052] In the related art, the kitchen air conditioner includes an evaporator and a water tank, and the water tank is used to collect the condensate water generated by the evaporator. However, in the related art, the condensate water in the water tank is prone to overflow, and the safety performance of the kitchen air conditioner is relatively low.

[0053] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a kitchen air conditioner including an enclosing member and a drainage assembly, so that the enclosing member can enclose the condensate water in the water tank, effectively preventing the condensate water from spilling and overflowing; at the same time, the drainage assembly is arranged on the enclosing member, and the drainage assembly is separated from the condensate water. Compared with arranging the drainage assembly in the water storage cavity, the present application can effectively reduce the problem of increasing the water level due to the height of the drainage assembly itself, and the condensate water is prone to overflow, and the safety performance of the kitchen air conditioner is maximized.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application embodiment provides a kitchen air conditioner, including a housing 100, an evaporator assembly 210 and a water tank 320, both of which are disposed inside the housing 100.

[0056] In this embodiment, the material of the outer casing 100 is not limited. For example, the outer casing 100 may be made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and heat resistance, and is easy to clean and maintain; or, the outer casing 100 may be made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight, has good corrosion resistance, and good thermal conductivity, which can help dissipate heat. This embodiment does not limit the choice of material.

[0057] For example, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer casing 100 includes a front panel 110, a top panel 130, and a plurality of side panels 120 connected end to end.

[0058] In this embodiment, the water tank 320 is located below the evaporator assembly 210 and is configured to collect the condensate from the evaporator assembly 210. This arrangement of the water tank 320 provides additional condensate storage space, enabling the system to effectively collect and store more condensate under high humidity or long-term operation conditions, reducing the need for frequent drainage and improving system operating efficiency. The design of the water tank 320 being located below the evaporator assembly 210 utilizes gravity to ensure that water flows naturally into the water tank 320, further reducing the risk of water overflow and leakage.

[0059] In order to avoid the problem of condensate overflowing from water tank 320, in this embodiment of the application, reference is made to... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the water tank 320 has a water storage chamber 321 and an opening 322 communicating with the water storage chamber 321, and a baffle 330 may be installed in the water tank 320.

[0060] It should be noted that the enclosure component 330 in this embodiment can be applied in the following two scenarios:

[0061] In one scenario, the water tank 320 is constantly collecting the condensed water dripped from the evaporator assembly 210. When the condensed water in the water tank 320 is full and the water level is rising, the design of the enclosing member 330 can delay the overflow of the condensed water in the water tank 320, effectively preventing the condensed water from overflowing directly through the opening 322, thereby helping to avoid the problem of the overflowing condensed water causing a safety risk to the surrounding electrical control box 400 and other structures.

[0062] In another scenario, when the water tank 320 needs to be repaired, the condensed water in the water tank 320 is pumped out, and the water tank 320 is laid down or the water tank 320 is in an inclined state. Since there is still some residual condensed water in the water tank 320 that has not been pumped out, when the water tank 320 is in an inclined state, the residual condensed water is still prone to flowing out of the opening 322. Therefore, the design of the enclosing member 330 can further block the residual condensed water in the water tank 320, thereby avoiding the problem of the residual condensed water flowing directly out of the opening 322 of the water tank 320, and further avoiding the problem of the overflowing condensed water causing a safety risk to the surrounding electrical control box 400 and other structures.

[0063] In this way, the water tank 320 of the present application can block the condensed water in the water tank 320, effectively avoiding the problem of condensed water overflow, whether the water tank 320 is in a normal water receiving state or the water tank 320 is in a state that needs to be repaired.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific shape of the enclosing member 330 is not limited. For example, the enclosing member 330 can be a ring structure, and the enclosing member 330 is arranged around the opening 322 of the water tank 320.

[0065] The ring structure can uniformly distribute the pressure from the inside and outside of the water tank 320, enhancing the structural stability of the enclosing member 330 and reducing deformation or damage caused by uneven stress. Moreover, the ring design provides a continuous sealing boundary, which helps to prevent the condensed water from leaking from the opening 322 and improves the sealing performance of the water tank 320. In addition, the ring structure facilitates alignment and installation with the opening 322 of the water tank 320, reducing installation complexity and time and improving assembly efficiency.

[0066] After the condensed water is stored in the water tank 320, it needs to be discharged to the outside of the housing 100. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 the enclosing member 330 can further include a drainage assembly 340 configured to discharge the condensed water in the water tank 320 to the outside of the housing 100.

[0067] For example, the drainage assembly 340 and the enclosing member 330 can be connected by screws, and the specific connection manner is not limited in the present embodiment and can be set as required.

[0068] By mounting the drain assembly 340 on the enclosure 330, compared to mounting the drain assembly 340 directly in the water storage chamber 321, this application can raise the position of the drain assembly 340, separating the drain assembly 340 from the condensate. The drain assembly 340 will not occupy the volume of the water storage chamber 321, and the water level will not rise too quickly. This effectively reduces the problem of increased water level and easy overflow of condensate caused by the height of the drain assembly 340 itself, and ensures the safety performance of the kitchen air conditioner to the greatest extent.

[0069] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, along the height direction perpendicular to the water tank 320, the inner side of the enclosure 330 extends at least partially into the opening 322 to block at least part of the opening 322.

[0070] In this embodiment, the direction perpendicular to the height of the water tank 320 is the direction on the horizontal plane. That is, the enclosure member 330 extends horizontally, partially blocking or surrounding the opening 322 of the water tank 320. This effectively reduces the spillage of condensate, further prevents condensate from overflowing from the opening 322, helps maintain a stable water level in the water tank 320, reduces the waste of condensate, and also effectively reduces the impact on other structural components around the water tank 320.

[0071] The dimensions of the enclosure component 330 itself and the area of ​​the enclosure component 330 that it blocks the opening 322 are not limited, and can be set according to the actual situation.

[0072] In one feasible implementation, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the enclosure 330 may include an outer edge 331 and an inner edge 332. The outer edge 331 is connected to the edge of the opening 322, and the inner edge 332 extends toward the center of the opening 322.

[0073] It should be noted that the outer edge 331 is the outer boundary of the enclosure 330, the part that contacts or connects with the edge of the opening 322. Thus, the connection between the outer edge 331 and the edge of the opening 322 secures the enclosure 330 to the opening 322 of the water tank 320, providing structural support, enhancing the structural strength of the opening 322 of the water tank 320, and reducing the risk of deformation due to external forces or pressure; simultaneously, it provides a certain degree of sealing to prevent liquid leakage.

[0074] It should be noted that the inner edge 332 is the inner boundary of the enclosure 330, extending toward the central area of ​​the opening 322 of the water tank 320. The function of the inner edge 332 may include guiding the flow of liquid, and may also form a physical barrier to protect the internal components of the water tank 320, as well as provide additional sealing or protection.

[0075] In an implementable embodiment, the enclosure 330 can be downwardly inclined from the outer edge 331 to the inner edge 332. The inclination angle of the enclosure 330 is not limited, and can be set according to actual conditions.

[0076] In this way, the inclined design naturally guides the liquid to flow from the outer edge 331 to the inner edge 332 by gravity, promotes the flow of liquid, reduces the retention of liquid at the opening 322 of the water tank 320, and thus helps to prevent the splashing of condensed water outside the water tank 320, improves the utilization efficiency of the condensed water, while the water tank 320 can maintain stable water volume and pressure, and improve the operation stability and reliability of the system.

[0077] In some embodiments, the inner edge 332 of the enclosure 330 can be provided with a flow guide groove configured to guide the splashed condensed water to flow back into the water storage cavity 321.

[0078] The shape of the flow guide groove is not limited. For example, the cross section of the flow guide groove can be U-shaped, which is easy to manufacture and clean, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto. It can be understood that the flow guide groove is an annular groove around the inner edge 332 of the enclosure 330.

[0079] The forming method of the flow guide groove is not limited. For example, the flow guide groove can be milled or cut on the enclosure 330 by a cutting tool; or a laser cutting technique can be used to form the flow guide groove. The present embodiment is not limited thereto, and the material of the enclosure 330 can be selected accordingly.

[0080] In this way, the design of the flow guide groove ensures that the splashed condensed water is effectively collected and flows back into the water storage cavity 321, reduces the waste of water resources, improves the water utilization efficiency of the system, reduces the impact on the surrounding environment, avoids potential corrosion or other adverse effects caused by water splashing; at the same time, it can effectively reduce the maintenance and cleaning work, thereby reducing the operation and maintenance cost.

[0081] In an implementable embodiment, the assembly method of the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 is not limited. For example, the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 can be an integral part. For example, the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 can be integrally formed by injection molding; or the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 can be connected as a whole by welding or bonding. The present embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0082] In this way, the integrated design is beneficial to improve the stability and durability of the overall structure, reduce the loosening or leakage problems that may occur at the connection part, reduce the number of components, simplify the manufacturing and installation process, reduce the production and assembly cost, and improve the sealing performance of the overall structure.

[0083] Exemplarily, the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 can be detachably connected. For example, the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 can be connected by bolts; or, can be connected by a buckle and a slot; or, can be connected by other manners. The present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0084] In this way, the design of detachable connection allows the user to detach the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 as needed, facilitating cleaning, maintenance or replacement of parts, and improving the service life and flexibility of the system; in addition, since it can be detached, the entire device occupies less space during transportation and storage, reducing transportation costs.

[0085] In order to avoid the setting mode of detachable connection, there can be a water leakage gap at the connection position, in the present embodiment, the connection position of the enclosure 330 and the water tank 320 can be provided with a sealing structure.

[0086] Exemplarily, the sealing structure can be a sealing gasket, which is usually a planar sealing element made of rubber, silicone or the like; or, the sealing structure can be a ring-shaped sealing ring. The present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0087] In this way, the design of the sealing structure helps to ensure that excellent sealing performance can still be provided in the connected state, preventing leakage of condensed water and ensuring normal operation of the system.

[0088] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the drainage assembly 340 can include a drainage pump 341, which is installed on the enclosure 330, and the drainage pump 341 is configured to transport the condensed water in the water storage cavity 321 to the outside of the housing 100.

[0089] In this way, the introduction of the drainage pump 341 significantly improves the drainage capacity of the condensed water, ensuring efficient operation of the system; in addition, the installation position of the drainage pump 341 is not limited.

[0090] In the embodiment, the drainage pump 341 is installed on the enclosing member 330. On the one hand, the drainage assembly 340 is separated from the condensed water, which can effectively reduce the problem of water level height increasing and condensed water overflowing caused by the height of the drainage assembly 340 itself. On the other hand, it is beneficial to avoid the situation that the drainage pump 341 is soaked in water for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and prolonging the service life of the drainage pump 341. On the other hand, it is convenient to check and maintain the drainage pump 341, and the user can easily overhaul, replace or clean the drainage pump 341 without contacting the condensed water in the water tank 320. On the other hand, the drainage pump 341 does not directly contact the condensed water, which reduces the influence of impurities in the water on the drainage pump 341, reduces the opportunity of electrical components contacting water, reduces the risk of electric leakage or short circuit, and improves the safety of the entire system.

[0091] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIG. 10, the drainage pump 341 can be installed on the enclosing member 330. The drainage pump 341 is separated from the condensed water, which can effectively reduce the problem of water level height increasing and condensed water overflowing caused by the height of the drainage assembly 340 itself. It is beneficial to avoid the situation that the drainage pump 341 is soaked in water for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and prolonging the service life of the drainage pump 341. It is convenient to check and maintain the drainage pump 341, and the user can easily overhaul, replace or clean the drainage pump 341 without contacting the condensed water in the water tank 320. The drainage pump 341 does not directly contact the condensed water, which reduces the influence of impurities in the water on the drainage pump 341, reduces the opportunity of electrical components contacting water, reduces the risk of electric leakage or short circuit, and improves the safety of the entire system. Figures 5 to 7 As shown in FIG. 10, the drainage pump 341 can be provided with an extension edge 343. The extension edge 343 is connected to at least one side surface of the enclosing member 330 along the thickness direction of the enclosing member 330. Specifically, the extension edge 343 can be provided with a first mounting hole 3431, and the enclosing member 330 can be provided with a second mounting hole 333. The first mounting hole 3431 is opposite to the second mounting hole 333 and connected by a fastener. For example, the fastener can be a screw.

[0092] For example, the extension edge 343 can be connected to the upper surface of the enclosing member 330 along the thickness direction of the enclosing member 330, or the extension edge 343 can be connected to the lower surface of the enclosing member 330. The embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0093] In this way, on the one hand, it is beneficial to provide multi-point support and fixation, improve the installation stability of the drainage pump 341, and reduce the vibration and displacement of the drainage pump 341. On the other hand, the design of the extension edge 343 increases the contact area of the drainage pump 341 and the enclosing member 330, which helps to disperse stress concentration points and improve the strength and durability of the overall structure.

[0094] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIG. 10, the drainage pump 341 can be installed on the enclosing member 330. The drainage pump 341 is separated from the condensed water, which can effectively reduce the problem of water level height increasing and condensed water overflowing caused by the height of the drainage assembly 340 itself. It is beneficial to avoid the situation that the drainage pump 341 is soaked in water for a long time, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion and prolonging the service life of the drainage pump 341. It is convenient to check and maintain the drainage pump 341, and the user can easily overhaul, replace or clean the drainage pump 341 without contacting the condensed water in the water tank 320. The drainage pump 341 does not directly contact the condensed water, which reduces the influence of impurities in the water on the drainage pump 341, reduces the opportunity of electrical components contacting water, reduces the risk of electric leakage or short circuit, and improves the safety of the entire system. Figures 5 to 7 As shown in FIG. 10, the drainage assembly 340 can further include a drainage pipe 342 and a drainage connector 344. The outlet of the drainage pump 341 is directed to the center of the opening 322. The drainage pipe 342 is connected to the outlet of the drainage pump 341 through the drainage connector 344. The outlet end of the drainage pipe 342 is in communication with the outside of the housing 100.

[0095] In this way, the drain pump 341 can transport the condensed water in the water storage cavity 321 to the outside of the shell 100 through the drain pipe 342, so as to effectively collect and guide the condensed water, optimize the water flow path, reduce the flow resistance, and improve the drainage efficiency. In addition, this design is beneficial to reduce the arrangement requirement of the external pipeline, simplify the system design and installation process, and reduce the installation cost.

[0096] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the shell 100 can include a water tank 320 and a surrounding piece 330. The water tank 320 can include an opening 322, and the surrounding piece 330 can be arranged around the opening 322. The drain pump 341 can be arranged on the surrounding piece 330. Figures 5 to 7 It should be noted that the surrounding piece 330 is a ring structure, and the inner edge 332 of the surrounding piece 330 is the edge of the overlapping edge 337 close to the center of the opening 322. The number of overlapping edges 337 is not limited. For example, if the surrounding piece 330 is a square ring, the number of overlapping edges 337 can include one, two, three, four or more. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0097] In this way, the overlapping edge 337 provides additional support and stability, helping to fix the drain pump 341 and reducing displacement or damage caused by vibration or external force. At the same time, by arranging the drain pump 341 on the overlapping edge 337, liquid can be directly pumped out from the opening 322 of the water tank 320, reducing the complexity of the drainage path and improving the drainage efficiency.

[0098] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the shell 100 can include a water tank 320 and a surrounding piece 330. The water tank 320 can include an opening 322, and the surrounding piece 330 can be arranged around the opening 322. The drain pump 341 can be arranged on the surrounding piece 330.

[0099] Figure 7 In this way, the overlapping edge 337 provides additional support and stability, helping to fix the drain pump 341 and reducing displacement or damage caused by vibration or external force. At the same time, by arranging the drain pump 341 on the overlapping edge 337, liquid can be directly pumped out from the opening 322 of the water tank 320, reducing the complexity of the drainage path and improving the drainage efficiency.

[0100] In this way, the overlapping edge 337 provides additional support and stability, helping to fix the drain pump 341 and reducing displacement or damage caused by vibration or external force. At the same time, by arranging the drain pump 341 on the overlapping edge 337, liquid can be directly pumped out from the opening 322 of the water tank 320, reducing the complexity of the drainage path and improving the drainage efficiency.

[0101] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIG. 3, the shell 100 can include a water tank 320 and a surrounding piece 330. The water tank 320 can include an opening 322, and the surrounding piece 330 can be arranged around the opening 322. The drain pump 341 can be arranged on the surrounding piece 330. Figure 8 In this way, the overlapping edge 337 provides additional support and stability, helping to fix the drain pump 341 and reducing displacement or damage caused by vibration or external force. At the same time, by arranging the drain pump 341 on the overlapping edge 337, liquid can be directly pumped out from the opening 322 of the water tank 320, reducing the complexity of the drainage path and improving the drainage efficiency.​

[0102] In this way, the mounting stability of the enclosing member 330 is improved, and displacement or loosening caused by vibration or external force is reduced. In addition, the enclosing member 330 is lapped on the mounting boss 323 to form a continuous contact surface, which helps to achieve better sealing effect and prevent leakage of condensed water. Moreover, this design allows application in water tanks 320 of different sizes and shapes, and by adjusting the height and shape of the mounting boss 323, different design requirements can be met, and the design flexibility is higher.

[0103] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the enclosing member 330 can further include a flange 336, which is connected to the outer side of the enclosing member 330 and can be provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 3361 at intervals. Figure 7 Figure 8 The edge of the opening 322 can be provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 3221 at intervals, and the first connecting holes 3361 and the second connecting holes 3221 are opposite and connected by fasteners.

[0104] For example, the fastener can be a screw.

[0105] In this way, the design of the flange 336 provides additional support and fixing surface, further improving the connection stability between the enclosing member 330 and the water tank 320, and reducing loosening caused by vibration or external force. Moreover, the surrounding design of the flange 336 increases the contact area, which helps to form a more effective seal to prevent liquid leakage and ensure the sealing performance and operation reliability of the system.

[0106] In an implementable embodiment, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the enclosing member 330 can further include a flange 336, which is connected to the outer side of the enclosing member 330 and can be provided with a plurality of first connecting holes 3361 at intervals. Figure 4 Figure 9 The edge of the opening 322 can be provided with a plurality of second connecting holes 3221 at intervals, and the first connecting holes 3361 and the second connecting holes 3221 are opposite and connected by fasteners.

[0107] The kitchen air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present application includes an enclosing member and a drainage assembly. In this way, the enclosing member can enclose the condensed water in the water tank, effectively preventing the condensed water from pouring and overflowing. At the same time, the drainage assembly is arranged on the enclosing member, and the drainage assembly is separated from the condensed water. Compared with arranging the drainage assembly in the water storage cavity, the present application can effectively reduce the problem of increasing water level height and easy overflow of condensed water caused by the height of the drainage assembly itself, and maximize the safety performance of the kitchen air conditioner.
