Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of sunken water tray, especially relates to a space-saving air conditioner tank sunken water tray structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous advancement of urbanization, building space is becoming increasingly compact. In particular, in high-density urban areas, the demand for air conditioning equipment continues to grow for both commercial and residential units, but the available installation space is significantly reduced. In this context, how to effectively utilize limited space to achieve intelligent and comfortable indoor environment has become a problem to be solved.

[0003] Traditional air conditioner tank design usually has the shortcomings of large volume and occupying more height space. This often leads to a very complex layout of air handling systems in space-limited environments, even affecting the aesthetics and functionality of the overall building. For example, in low-rise buildings or top-floor lofts, larger air conditioning equipment can affect residents' daily life and activity space. In addition, the water tray in the traditional structure may be set above the bottom of the unit, increasing the installation height of the equipment and limiting its flexibility in narrow spaces.

[0004] To address this challenge, it is particularly important to develop a space-saving air conditioner tank design that meets the needs of modern architecture. The utility model through the innovative sunken water tray structure not only reduces the overall height of the equipment, but also reasonably configures various functional modules, including the main water tray, fan motor support, heat exchange support and thermal insulation cotton. These improvements enable the air conditioner tank to better integrate into architectural design while maintaining excellent overall performance, thereby meeting users' multiple requirements for air conditioning equipment continuity, aesthetics and efficiency.

[0022] 1. The application effectively saves space. In the design, the sinking water tray is located at the bottom of the tank body, and the height is comprehensively considered according to the height of the tank bottom frame and the fan bottom frame, so that the overall height of the air handling unit is greatly optimized. At the same time, compared with the traditional downflow water pipe, the new side water outlet water pipe allows better space layout, and can quickly drain the liquid outside the water tray. This enhances the adaptability of the equipment in a compact environment, and can smoothly integrate into various occasions such as business and residence, without occupying too much vertical space, thereby improving the space utilization efficiency of the building.

[0023] 2. The application has low cost. In the design scheme, the sinking water tray simplifies the original water tray, tank plate bottom plate, tank body bottom frame and fan motor bottom frame, thereby reducing the production and maintenance cost. This advantage not only makes the product price more attractive, but also provides users with higher cost performance.

[0024] 3. The application can prevent cold bridge, the design of the sheet metal body integrally adhering to the thermal insulation cotton effectively prevents the formation of cold bridge. This feature can effectively block the temperature change of the outside world, reduce the risk of condensation, and ensure that the comfortable temperature and humidity environment in the room is maintained during use.
