[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] Referring to Figures 2-4 The embodiment provides a condensate water collecting structure which is installed in an air conditioner, and the condensate water collecting structure comprises a panel 1, a water collecting tray 2, a water guiding part 3 and a water guiding part 4.

[0038] One surface of the panel 1 faces the internal environment of the air conditioner, that is, the panel 1 has two opposite surfaces, one of which faces the internal environment of the air conditioner, and the other of which faces the outside of the air conditioner, specifically, the front panel 6. The water collecting tray 2 is arranged at the lower part of one surface of the panel 1, and the length of the water collecting tray 2 is less than the length of the panel 1, so that at least one end of the panel 1 in the length direction exceeds the water collecting tray 2. The opening of the water collecting tray 2 is upward and faces one surface of the panel 1, so as to collect the condensate water condensed on one surface of the panel 1.

[0039] The water collecting tray 2 and the panel 1 are not an integral structure, but two independent components, and there is inevitably a gap between the two, which causes the condensate water to drip from the gap between the two to the outside of the air conditioner. Therefore, the water guiding part 3 is arranged at the lower part of one surface of the panel 1 and above the water collecting tray 2, and the water guiding part 3 corresponds in position to the water collecting tray 2, so that at least one end of the panel 1 in the length direction exceeds the water guiding part 3. The water guiding part 3 is protrudingly arranged on one surface of the panel 1 and above the water collecting tray 2, so that the condensate water condensed on one surface of the panel 1 can be guided into the water collecting tray 2 through the water guiding part 3, avoiding the influence of the gap between the panel 1 and the water collecting tray 2.

[0040] However, since the length of the panel 1 is greater than the lengths of the water collecting tray 2 and the water guiding part 3, at least one end of the panel 1 in the length direction does not have the water guiding part 3 and the water collecting tray 2 to collect the condensate water, so that the condensate water is easy to drip through the air outlet to the outside of the air conditioner. Therefore, the embodiment is provided with the water guiding part 4, which is arranged at the end of one surface of the panel 1 exceeding the water guiding part 3 in the length direction, and the water guiding part 4 is connected with the water guiding part 3 and inclined downward toward the water guiding part 3.

[0041] Thus, the water guide 3 is arranged at the lower part of one surface of the panel 1 as the main condensate water drainage structure, the end part of the water guide 3 beyond the length direction of one surface of the panel 1 is provided with the water guide 4, and the water guide 4 is connected with the water guide 3, so that the water guide 4 is used as the auxiliary condensate water drainage structure. When the condensate water is condensed on one surface of the panel 1, the condensate water corresponding to the water guide 3 can directly flow into the water pan 2 through the water guide 3, and the condensate water corresponding to the water guide 4 can flow to the water guide 3 through the inclined structure of the water guide 4 after dropping on the water guide 4, and then flow into the water pan 2 through the water guide 3. Thus, the water guide 4 cooperated with the water guide 3 can realize that the condensate water condensed at any position on one surface of the panel 1 can flow into the water pan 2, and the situation that the condensate water drops to the outside of the air conditioner through the air outlet is avoided, so that the water leakage problem is completely solved.

[0042] The width of the water guide 4 and the water guide 3 extending away from the panel 1 can be determined according to the amount of the condensate water condensed on one surface of the panel 1, which can be adjusted adaptively, and the width of the water guide 4 and the water guide 3 can not be equal, as long as it can ensure that all the condensate water is guided into the water pan 2.

[0043] Further, the side edge of the water guide 4 is upwardly provided with a baffle 41, and the two ends of the baffle 41 are connected with the panel 1 and the water guide 3 respectively. The arrangement of the baffle 41 cooperated with the panel 1 and the water guide 3 can make the condensate water dropping on the water guide 4 flow to the water guide 3 along the inclined structure of the water guide 4, and then flow into the water pan 2 through the water guide 3, so that the situation that the condensate water drops to the outside of the air conditioner from the edge of the water guide 4 is avoided.

[0044] Meanwhile, the top surface of the water guide 3 is an inclined surface, and the end of the inclined surface close to the panel 1 is higher than the end of the inclined surface away from the panel 1. The inclined surface structure of the water guide 3 can ensure that the condensate water dropping on the water guide 3 can smoothly flow into the water pan 2, and avoid that the condensate water is accumulated on the top surface of the water guide 3 for a long time to damage the water guide 3, so that the collection effect of the condensate water is ensured.

[0045] Referring to Figure 5 , the panel 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11, the mounting groove 11 is arranged at the lower part of the panel 1 and above the water pan 2, the mounting groove 11 is equal to the length of the water pan 2 and corresponds to the position of the water pan 2, the water guide 3 is adaptively arranged in the mounting groove 11 and protrudes from one surface of the panel 1, and the mounting groove 11 penetrates through the opposite two surfaces of the panel 1, so as to facilitate the installation of the water guide 3, the water guide 3 is installed in the mounting groove 11 and protrudes from one surface of the panel 1 to guide water. The top surface of the water guide 3 is necessarily sealed connected with the panel 1, so as to avoid the gap to cause water leakage, and the bottom surface of the water guide 3 is preferably sealed connected with the panel 1, so as to ensure the tightness of the connection between the water guide 3 and the panel 1, and avoid the situation of water leakage.

[0046] Of course, the water guide 3 can be integrated with the panel 1, and the sealing performance is better.

[0047] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the water guide 3 protrudes from one surface of the panel 1, and the surface of the water guide 3 away from the panel 1 is concave, and the surface of the water guide 3 away from the panel 1 is provided with a connecting rib 31, and the connecting rib 31 is provided with a plurality of connecting ribs 31 along the length direction of the water guide 3. The connecting rib 31 can be provided as a wire slot structure, so that the wires of the driving structure and the like can extend to the connecting control mechanism through the connecting rib 31, and the connecting rib 31 can limit and guide the wires, avoid the wires from affecting the movement of other components, and reduce the wear of the wires by other components, thereby improving the service life of the wires. At the same time, compared with the concave setting of the connecting rib 31 in the panel 1, the wires can be "hidden", and the space occupied is small.

[0048] In the embodiment, the connecting rib 31 can be a "C" type structure and the like, and only one opening is provided for the wires to enter, so that the wires can be firmly limited in the connecting rib 31.

[0049] The setting of the connecting rib 31 cooperates with the impact of the condensed water on the water guide 3, and the structural strength of the water guide 3 may be affected, therefore, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the surface of the water guide 3 away from the connecting rib 31 is provided with a protruding rib 32, and the number of the protruding rib 32 is equal to that of the connecting rib 31 and one-to-one corresponding. The setting of the protruding rib 32 can improve the structural strength of the water guide 3 to ensure the long-term use of the water guide and the wire positioning function. At the same time, the setting of the protruding rib 32 can make the condensed water flow into the water pan 2 to avoid the connecting rib 31, so as to avoid affecting the wires.

[0050] Further, the protruding rib 32 is an "n" type structure, and the protruding rib 32 is provided at the upper part and the two side parts of the connecting rib 31. In this way, on the opposite two surfaces, the protruding rib 32 surrounds the connecting rib 31, so that in the process of the condensed water falling on the water guide 3 and flowing into the water pan 2, once encountering the protruding rib 32, the condensed water will flow around the periphery of the protruding rib 32, thereby avoiding the influence on the connecting rib 31.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2 , the water pan 2 includes a bottom plate, and the side plate is upwardly provided on the side edge of the bottom plate to make the water pan 2 have an open upward structure, and the side plate close to one surface of the panel 1 is an inclined plate, and the top end of the inclined plate is close to the panel 1 compared with the bottom end of the inclined plate. The inclined plate is located below the water guide 3, and the setting of the inclined plate is beneficial to the smooth flow of the condensed water into the water pan 2.

[0052] The water receiving tray 2 is provided with at least two groups, and the at least two groups of water receiving trays 2 are sequentially connected from the panel 1 to the internal environment of the air conditioner and are gradually arranged downwards. The at least two groups of water receiving trays 2 are of an integrated structure, and once the condensed water of the upper water receiving tray 2 overflows, the condensed water can smoothly flow to the lower water receiving tray 2, thereby increasing the amount of collected condensed water and avoiding the occurrence of a water leakage situation caused by the overflow of the condensed water.

[0055] The main body 5 comprises a middle frame and an internal cavity, the panel 1 of the condensed water collecting structure is arranged on the front end surface of the middle frame, one surface of the panel 1 faces the internal cavity, and the water receiving tray 2 is arranged in the internal cavity. The front panel 6 is arranged on the front side of the panel 1, so that the driving structure can drive the front panel 6 to move through the transmission mechanism to change the air outlet, thereby obtaining a better air outlet effect.

[0056] The air conditioner of the embodiment utilizes the condensed water collecting structure of embodiment 1, when the condensed water condenses on one surface of the panel 1, the condensed water corresponding to the water guide 3 can directly flow into the water receiving tray 2 through the water guide 3, and the condensed water corresponding to the water guide 4 flows to the water guide 3 through the inclined structure of the water guide 4 after dropping on the water guide 4, and then flows into the water receiving tray 2 through the water guide 3. In this way, the water guide 4 and the water guide 3 cooperate to realize that the condensed water condensed at any position on one surface of the panel 1 can flow into the water receiving tray 2, thereby avoiding the situation that the condensed water drops to the outside of the air conditioner through the air outlet, and thus completely solving the problem of water leakage of the air conditioner.
