[0002] With global climate change and increasing energy efficiency requirements, air conditioning systems are being used more and more widely, especially in hot regions. Air conditioners produce a large amount of condensate during operation, and if this condensate is not properly treated, it will result in a waste of water resources.

[0003] During operation, air conditioners draw in indoor and outdoor air. Fine particles such as dust, pollen, and fibers carried in this air may adhere to the evaporator surface with the airflow and eventually mix with the condensate. These particles contaminate the condensate, rendering it unusable. Therefore, this invention proposes an air conditioner condensate purification and collection device that can effectively purify and collect the condensate. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, an air conditioner condensate purification and collection device includes a purification box 1, a filter cartridge 2, and a water storage tank 3. An air conditioner drain pipe 4 is provided at the top of the purification box 1, and a water outlet 5 is provided at the bottom of the purification box 1. A first water pipe 6 is connected to the water outlet 5. A water pump 9 is provided at the other end of the first water pipe 6. A second water pipe 7 is provided at the other end of the water pump 9. The other end of the second water pipe 7 is connected to the filter cartridge 2. A third water pipe 8 is provided at the other end of the filter cartridge 2. The other end of the third water pipe 8 is connected to the water storage tank 3.

[0022] The purification box 1 has a limiting groove 10 inside, and a filter plate 11 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 10. A filter screen is arranged inside the filter plate 11. The purification box 1 has an insertion port at the groove opening of the limiting groove 10. A handle 12 is provided at the front end of the filter plate 11. The end of the filter plate 11 is slidably arranged in the limiting groove 10 through the insertion port. A locking mechanism for fixing the filter plate 11 is provided above the handle 12 in the purification box 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a mounting base 13, a first slider 14, a second slider 15, and a connecting block 16. The connecting block 16 is fixedly disposed between the handle 12 and the filter plate 11. The mounting base 13 is fixedly disposed above the front of the purification box 1 and above the connecting block 16. A first slot 17 is vertically opened at the bottom of the mounting base 13, and a second slot 18 is vertically opened at the top of the connecting block 16. The first slot 17 and the second slot 18 are located on the same vertical line. The first slider 14 is slidably disposed in the first slot 17. A spring 19 is disposed in the first slot 17. One end of the spring 19 is fixedly connected to the first slider 14, and the other end of the spring 19 is fixedly disposed in the first slot 17. A third slot 20 is opened on the front of the mounting base 13. The second slider 15 is slidably disposed in the third slot 20. A locking groove 21 is opened on the first slider 14 to allow the second slider 15 to pass through. The second slider 15 is finally locked in the locking groove 21 through the third slot 20. Since the first slot 17 and the second slot 18 are located on the same vertical line, the tail end of the first slider 14 can slide into the second slot 18.

[0024] Furthermore, a limiting block 22 is fixedly provided at the top of the second slider 15, and an anti-detachment groove 23 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the third slot 20 for the limiting block 22 to slide. By setting the limiting block 22, the second slider 15 can always be slidably positioned in the third slot 20, preventing the second slider 15 from falling off.

[0025] Furthermore, a transmission rod 24 is vertically arranged at the top of the first slider 14. The transmission rod 24 is located inside the spring 19. The top of the mounting base 13 has a through hole that communicates with the first slot 17. The bottom end of the transmission rod 24 is fixedly connected to the first slider 14. The top end of the transmission rod 24 can pass through the through hole and slide inside the through hole.

[0026] Furthermore, a buffer pad 25 is provided on the side of the connecting block 16 near the water purification tank. The buffer pad 25 can reduce the damage to the purification tank 1 caused by prolonged pulling of the filter plate 11.

[0027] Furthermore, the filter cartridge 2 is provided with three filter elements, which are arranged in sequence as a polypropylene fiber filter element, a ceramic filter element, and an ultrafiltration membrane filter element.

[0028] Furthermore, a ramp 26 is provided at the bottom of the purification tank 1, and the water outlet 5 is located on the side of the purification tank 1 near the foot of the ramp. The ramp 26 can prevent condensate from accumulating on the side away from the water outlet 5.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, please refer to Figure 1-3The working principle is as follows: When the air conditioner is turned on, the condensate produced enters the purification tank 1 through the air conditioner drain pipe 4. The filter screen on the filter plate 11 in the purification tank 1 first filters the air conditioner condensate, and the filtered air conditioner condensate accumulates at the bottom of the purification tank 1. Since the bottom of the purification tank 1 is equipped with a slope 26, the filtered condensate will enter the outlet 5 along the slope 26. Then, the water pump 9 is turned on, and the water pump 9 draws water from the bottom of the purification tank 1. After passing through the first water pipe 6 and the second water pipe 7, the condensate enters the filter cartridge 2. The polypropylene fiber filter element in the filter cartridge 2 can further filter out particulate matter such as dust and sand. The ceramic filter element in the filter cartridge 2 can filter out bacteria and other microorganisms. Finally, the ultrafiltration membrane filter element can effectively remove bacteria, viruses and large molecular organic matter. Finally, the filtered condensate is collected in the outlet tank through the third water pipe 8.

[0030] When the filter plate 11 in the water tank needs to be replaced, first remove the second slider 15 from the engaging groove 21 in the first slider 14. With the second slider 15 no longer engaged, the first slider 14, under the pull of the top spring 19, will move upwards. At this point, the tail end of the first slider 14 will detach from the second slot 18, and the transmission rod 24 at the top of the first slider 14 will move upwards through the through hole. With the connecting block 16 no longer engaged by the first slider 14, the operator can pull the handle 12 to remove the filter plate 11 from the limiting groove 10. After replacing the filter screen on the filter plate 11, when reinstallation is required, the operator first presses the protruding transmission rod 24 on the top of the mounting base 13. The transmission rod 24 presses the first slider 14 downwards. When the first slider 14 descends high enough to allow the second slider 15 to insert into the engaging groove 21 on the first slider 14, insert the second slider 15, release the transmission rod 24, and continue until the second slider 15 is fully inserted into the engaging groove 21. This completes the installation.
