[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved water baffle to solve some or all of the above problems. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The present application provides a water baffle and a heat exchanger assembly with simple structure.

[0005] The present application provides a water baffle, comprising a first side plate, a second side plate and a water guide hole; the second side plate is located on one side of the first side plate, and the included angle between the first side plate and the second side plate is not less than 90 degrees; the water guide hole is provided on the second side plate and penetrates the second side plate along the thickness direction of the second side plate.

[0006] Further, a plurality of water guide holes are provided, and the plurality of water guide holes are arranged in a matrix on the second side plate.

[0007] Further, the second side plate is connected perpendicularly to the first side plate, and the width of the second side plate is greater than the width of the first side plate.

[0008] Further, the water baffle comprises a third side plate; the third side plate is connected between the first side plate and the second side plate, and the included angles between the third side plate and the first side plate and the second side plate are both greater than 90 degrees.

[0009] Further, the second side plate is inclined from the third side plate in a direction deviating from the first side plate, and the included angle between the first side plate and the second side plate is obtuse.

[0010] Further, the second side plate comprises a first branch plate and a second branch plate; the first branch plate is connected to the second branch plate and the first side plate respectively, and the water guide hole is provided on the first branch plate and the second branch plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the first support plate is connected between the first side plate and the second support plate; the second support plate is inclined from the first support plate toward the first side plate, and the included angle between the first support plate, the second support plate, and the first side plate is greater than 90 degrees.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0028] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat exchanger assembly of this application includes a baffle plate 100, a heat exchanger body 110, and a drip tray 120. The baffle plate 100 can be fixed to the heat exchanger body 110 by welding, screwing, or snapping, and the drip tray 120 is located below the heat exchanger body 110. During cooling operation, condensate will condense on the surface of the heat exchanger body 110, and this condensate will be blown away at the air outlet 111 of the heat exchanger body 110, reducing the reliability of the heat exchanger assembly. Part of the baffle plate 100 is located at the air outlet 111 of the heat exchanger body 110 to prevent the condensate from being blown away. Furthermore, part of the baffle plate 100 is located below the heat exchanger to collect and guide the condensate flow into the drip tray 120.

[0030] In some embodiments, only one baffle plate 100 is provided to reduce the difficulty, cost, and failure rate of arranging the baffle plate 100 and the heat exchanger body 110. However, when the wind speed at the air outlet 111 of the heat exchanger body 110 is too high, in order to reduce the probability of splash water exceeding the range of the baffle plate 100 and flying out from other places, multiple baffle plates 100 are provided, and the multiple baffle plates 100 are arranged around the heat exchanger body 110.

[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the baffle 100 includes a first side plate 1, a second side plate 2, and a water guide hole 3. The second side plate 2 is located on one side of the first side plate 1, and the included angle between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 is not less than 90 degrees. This arrangement improves the flowability of condensate, making it easier for condensate to flow into the water receiving tray 120, and reducing the possibility of condensate remaining on the baffle.

[0032] When the baffle plate 100 is applied to the heat exchanger body 110, the first side plate 1 is located at the air outlet 111 of the heat exchanger body 110 to block splash water, allowing the splash water to collect on the second side plate 2. The second side plate 2 is located between the heat exchanger body 110 and the water receiving tray 120. Specifically, the second side plate 2 is located below the heat exchanger body 110 and above the water receiving tray 120. A water guide hole 3 is provided on the second side plate 2 and extends through the second side plate 2 along its thickness direction. The condensate collected on the second side plate 2 can flow smoothly into the water receiving tray 120 through the water guide hole 3. With this configuration, the heat exchanger assembly of this application can improve the reliability of the heat exchanger body 110 through the baffle plate 100. At the same time, the baffle plate 100 has a simple structure and low manufacturing cost, making the installation of the baffle plate 100 and the heat exchanger body 110 more convenient and reducing the overall cost of the heat exchanger assembly.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second side plate 2 is vertically connected to the first side plate 1, wherein, due to manufacturing process and errors, the second side plate 2 is approximately perpendicular to the first side plate 1. Alternatively, the second side plate 2 and the first side plate 1 can be set at an obtuse angle to facilitate smoother flow of condensate and prevent excessive condensate buildup on the second side plate 2.

[0034] The width of the second side plate 2 is greater than the width of the first side plate 1, so that the second side plate 2 can better collect condensate and allow the condensate to flow more evenly into the drip tray 120. In this embodiment, since the first side plate 1 is perpendicular to the second side plate, for ease of description, the width of the first side plate 1 is the same as the height of the first side plate 1.

[0035] The water guide holes 3 are provided in plurality and are arranged in a matrix on the second side plate 2. Specifically, the water guide holes 3 are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns on the second side plate 2, so that the condensed water can flow uniformly into the water pan 120 through the water guide holes 3. The shape of the water guide holes 3 can be, but is not limited to, a circle, an oblong, a rectangle or an ellipse.

[0036] Indeed, in order to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs, the water guide holes 3 can also be arranged in a single row and / or a single column on the second side plate 2.

[0037] As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the water baffle includes a first side plate 1. The first side plate 1 is connected between the heat exchanger body 110 and the second side plate 2. The first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are arranged at an angle of greater than 90 degrees. Figure 5 Figure 6 As shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6, in other embodiments, the water baffle includes a third side plate 4. The third side plate 4 is connected between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, and the angles between the third side plate 4 and the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are both greater than 90 degrees. Specifically, the third side plate 4 is arranged at an obtuse angle with the first side plate 1, and the second side plate 2 is arranged at an obtuse angle with the third side plate 4. The third side plate 4 can play a transition role, so that the second side plate 2 is more convenient to install below the heat exchanger body 110, and at the same time, the condensed water can flow more smoothly to the second side plate 2 and from the water guide holes 3 to the water pan 120.

[0038] In the above embodiments, due to manufacturing tolerances, the second side plate 2 can be approximately perpendicular to the first side plate 1. In order to facilitate the smooth flow of condensed water and avoid excessive condensate remaining on the second side plate 2, the second side plate 2 is arranged to be inclined from the third side plate 4 in a direction deviating from the first side plate 1, and the angle between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 is arranged at an obtuse angle.

[0039] As shown in FIGS. 7, 8 and 9, in other embodiments, the second side plate 2 includes a first branch plate 21 and a second branch plate 22. The first branch plate 21 is connected to the second branch plate 22 and the first side plate 1, respectively. The water guide holes 3 are provided on the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22, and the water guide holes 3 are arranged in a matrix on the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22. Figure 7 The first branch plate 21 is connected between the first side plate 1 and the second branch plate 22. Specifically, one side of the first branch plate 21 is connected to the first side plate 1, and the second branch plate 22 is connected to the side of the first branch plate 21 away from the first side plate 1. The second branch plate 22 is arranged to be inclined from the first branch plate 21 towards the first side plate 1, and the angles between the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 and the first side plate 1 are both greater than 90 degrees. In order to reduce the amount of remaining condensed water, the angle between the second branch plate 22 and the first branch plate 21 is not less than 90 degrees, i.e. the angle between the second branch plate 22 and the first branch plate 21 can be arranged at a right angle or an obtuse angle.

[0040] As shown in FIGS. 10, 11 and 12, in other embodiments, the water baffle includes a first side plate 1 and a second side plate 2. The first side plate 1 is connected between the heat exchanger body 110 and the second side plate 2. The first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are arranged at an angle of greater than 90 degrees.

[0041] Figure 8 ​​As shown, in some other embodiments, the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 are both connected to the same side of the first side plate 1 perpendicularly, and the included angle between the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 is greater than 90 degrees. Specifically, the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 are connected, and the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 are symmetrically arranged along the midline of the length direction of the first side plate 1. The included angle between the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 is greater than 90 degrees, so that the first branch plate 21 and the second branch plate 22 are more easily converged and guide the flow of condensed water.
