Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air conditioners, in particular to a mobile air conditioner's anti-side overflow drain structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] For the mobile air conditioner of up-down structure, double water tank structure is often adopted, wherein the first water tank is arranged at the bottom of the evaporator, the condensate water of the evaporator is collected through the first water tank, and then the condensate water is directly discharged to the outside of the air conditioner or transported to the other detachable second water tank at the bottom of the air conditioner for storage.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design a drain structure to guide the condensate water of the evaporator to the second water tank at the bottom. Conventionally, one or more downward drain openings are arranged at the top of the condenser corresponding to the position of the first water tank, and the water flows along the drain opening to the condenser fins, and then flows along the fins to the second water tank.

[0004] The simple downward drain opening accumulates dust inside the drain opening for a long time, and the accumulated dust blocks the drain opening when the amount of dust reaches a certain amount, so that the function of draining water cannot be realized. At the same time, the condensate water enters the drain opening in the form of water droplets, and after entering the drain opening, it slides along the inner wall of the drain opening to the bottom edge of the drain opening. At this time, part of the condensate water in the form of water droplets flows towards the edge of the machine, and may cause the risk of falling to the floor. SUMMARY

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a mobile air conditioner's anti-side overflow drain structure by setting a drainage gap to change the shape of the bottom of the drain opening, so that the condensate water entering the drain opening can flow in one direction, thereby reducing the possibility of dust accumulation and having a certain self-cleaning ability. In addition, the position of the condensate water falling can also be controlled through the drainage gap.

[0006] The utility model provides a kind of mobile air conditioner's anti-side overflow drain structure, including the connecting shell being arranged in the middle of air conditioner, first water tank for collecting the condensate water of evaporator falling is provided on connecting shell, at least one drain hole is provided in the first water tank;

[0007] The bottom of the drain hole extends downward to form a drain column, and a drainage gap is provided on one side of the drain column close to the inner side of the connecting shell. The water entering the drain column flows to the drainage gap and flows out from the drainage gap by setting the drainage gap.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the drainage gap is in contact with the top of the connecting shell.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the drainage gap is arc-shaped.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the drainage gap is arc-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the drain hole extends upward to form a water inlet column, and the top of the water inlet column is higher than the bottom of the first water tank.

[0012] The mobile air conditioner's side overflow prevention and drainage structure has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The water entering the drain column flows out towards the drainage gap, thereby controlling the position of the water falling, and avoiding the risk of the condensed water dropping onto the floor.

[0014] 2. The drainage gap can reduce the possibility of dust accumulation in the drain hole and has a certain self-cleaning ability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0019] The implementation, functional features and advantages of the present application will be further described with reference to the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 , an embodiment of the mobile air conditioner's side overflow prevention and drainage structure is proposed:

[0022] A mobile air conditioner's side overflow prevention and drainage structure includes a connection housing 1 arranged in the middle of the air conditioner, a first water tank 11 arranged on the connection housing 1 for collecting condensed water falling from the evaporator, a condenser 2 arranged at the bottom of the first water tank 11, three drain holes 12 arranged in the first water tank 11, and a side water outlet 13 arranged on the side of the first water tank 11.

[0023] The bottom of the drain hole 12 extends downward to form a drain column 121, and the drain column 121 is provided with a drainage gap 123 on the side close to the inner side of the connecting shell 1. The top of the drainage gap 123 is arc-shaped and in contact with the top of the connecting shell 1. The bottom of the drainage gap 123 is arc-shaped. The water entering the drain column 121 flows to the drainage gap 123 and flows out from the drainage gap 123 by setting the drainage gap 123.

[0024] The top of the drain hole 12 extends upward to form a water inlet column 122, and the top of the water inlet column 122 is higher than the bottom of the first water tank 11. When the side water outlet hole 13 is used to drain water, the water body will not enter the drain hole 12 because the top of the water inlet column 122 is higher than the bottom of the first water tank 11.

[0025] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent range of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformation, direct or indirect application in other related technical fields based on the content of the present application specification and drawings are also included in the patent protection range of the present application.
