[0038] The buffer zone is used for containing cooling water, and serves as a water storage area to increase the water storage capacity and ensure continuous water cooling. The buffer zone is in communication with the water collecting tank 10 through a water passing hole, and the bottom surface of the water passing hole is flush with the bottom surface of the buffer zone. When there is more water, the water in the water collecting tank 10 can enter the buffer zone, and at this time, the buffer zone serves as a water storage space. When there is less water, the water is concentrated in the water collecting tank 10. In the embodiment, a plurality of first buffer baffles 102 are arranged on the bottom surface of the buffer zone, and the height of the first buffer baffles 102 is less than the height of the partition plate. The first buffer baffles 102 divide the buffer zone into a plurality of communicating buffer chambers, so as to realize the horizontal blocking of water and avoid the water from splashing to other areas, especially the area where the electrical components are installed, during the movement, thereby improving the safety and reliability during use and movement.

[0039] The third mounting area 1f is used for mounting a water hitting motor 51.

[0040] In order to improve the water blocking effect, a sub-partition plate 101 is arranged in the buffer zone. The sub-partition plate 101 divides the buffer zone into at least two sub-buffer zones in communication with each other, and the first buffer baffle 102 is perpendicular or inclined to the length direction of the sub-partition plate 101. In the application, the length direction of the sub-partition plate 101 is parallel to the length direction of the water collecting tank 10, and the height of the sub-partition plate 101 is 1 / 3-1 / 2 of the depth of the buffer zone. The first buffer baffle 102 is perpendicular to the length direction of the sub-partition plate 101, and the height of the first buffer baffle 102 is 1 / 2-2 / 3 of the height of the sub-partition plate 101. In order to further improve the blocking effect, the sub-partition plate 101 is at least two and is staggered. The above-mentioned lower base is integrally formed by injection molding.

[0041] The preferred embodiments of the application are described below.

[0042] The two sub-partition plates 101 are parallel to each other and not coplanar, are parallel to the length direction of the water collecting tank 10, are arranged at the left and right ends of the buffer area respectively, and have a length greater than 1 / 2 of the length of the buffer area, forming a staggered structure, which divides the buffer area into the first buffer area 1b and the second buffer area 1c that are in communication with each other. A plurality of first buffer baffles 102 are arranged on the bottom surfaces of the first buffer area 1b and the second buffer area 1c. The first buffer baffles 102 are strip-shaped, the length direction of the first buffer baffles 102 is perpendicular to the length direction of the sub-partition plates 101, and one end of the first buffer baffles 102 is connected with the sub-partition plates. Thus, the first buffer area 1b and the second buffer area 1c are divided into a plurality of sub-buffer chambers that are in communication with each other. The sub-buffer chambers can divide the water in the buffer area, block the water, effectively control the water volume of each sub-buffer chamber, reduce the fluctuation of the water flow during movement, avoid splashing caused by shaking, and protect the components in other areas, thereby improving the safety.

[0043] A water level sensor 6 is arranged in the second buffer area 1c and is used to detect the water level in the buffer area to avoid excessively high water level. The water level sensor is a float ball valve. Specifically, a groove 160 is arranged in the second buffer area 1c. The groove is circular, the edge of the groove is provided with a circular annular protrusion 16, a water hole 162 is arranged in the side wall of the circular annular protrusion, the water hole is in communication with the buffer area, the bottom surface of the water hole is flush with the bottom surface of the buffer area, the water in the buffer area can enter the groove, and thus the water level can be accurately monitored. Two cylindrical bodies 161 are arranged on the edge of the groove and are used to install the float ball valve.

[0044] The first mounting area 1a and the second mounting area 1e in the embodiment are arranged on the two sides of the lower base 1, that is, the condenser and the compressor are arranged on the two sides of the lower base 1. The second mounting area is triangular, and the area of the buffer area can be increased.

[0045] Meanwhile, a plurality of upward protruding mounting columns 13 are arranged in the buffer area. The height of the mounting column 13 is greater than the depth of the buffer area. Mounting holes are arranged on the top of the mounting column 13 and are used to install the lower volute assembly.

[0046] In order to improve the flowability of the water between the buffer area and the water collecting tank 10, two water passing holes are arranged in the application, including a first water passing hole 10a and a second water passing hole 10b. The two water passing holes are arranged at the two ends of the water collecting tank 10 respectively and are in communication with the buffer area. The output shaft of the water hitting motor 51 is located in the first water passing hole 10a, and the water wheel is located at one end of the second water passing hole 10b. When the water hitting motor 51 works, the buffer area and the water collecting tank 10 are in communication and the water circulates through the two water passing holes, thereby ensuring the stable water supply to the water collecting tank 10 in real time.

[0047] In order to avoid the foreign matter in the buffer zone from entering the water collecting tank, or avoid the foreign matter in the water collecting tank from entering the buffer zone, a baffle 15 is arranged at the outlet end of the second water passing hole 10b, which is vertically fixed on the bottom surface of the buffer zone, and has a gap between the baffle 15 and the outlet end of the second water passing hole 10b, which forms a first filtering channel to avoid the oversized foreign matter from entering; meanwhile, in the application, a ring-shaped partition plate 12 is arranged on the bottom surface of the buffer zone, which forms the third mounting area, and in the embodiment, the third mounting area is a rectangular structure, the ring-shaped partition plate 12 is arranged at the outlet end of the first water passing hole 10a, and a gap is arranged between the outer wall of the ring-shaped partition plate 12 and the outlet end of the first water passing hole 10a, which forms a second filtering channel, and also plays a blocking role for the oversized foreign matter; two mounting parts 121 for mounting the water hitting motor are arranged in the third mounting area, and the mounting parts are cylindrical protrusions arranged on the bottom surface of the third mounting area, and a small hole 120 is arranged on the bottom surface of the third mounting area, which is used for discharging the water accidentally entering the area, and improves the use reliability.

[0048] The upper base 3 is used for installing the evaporator and the upper volute assembly, which is located directly above the lower base. The fourth mounting area 3a for installing the evaporator 4 and the fifth mounting area 3c for installing the upper volute assembly are arranged on the upper surface of the upper base 3. The water collecting area 3b is in communication with the fourth mounting area 3a and is used for containing condensed water. The water collecting area 3b is strip-shaped and has a length direction parallel to the length direction of the condenser. The water collecting area 3b is located directly above the condenser. The water collecting area 3b and the fourth mounting area 3a form an L-shaped structure. A plurality of drainage holes 30 are arranged on the bottom surface of the water collecting area 3b. The drainage holes 30 are used for draining condensed water and making the condensed water fall onto the condenser below to cool the condenser. The plurality of drainage holes 30 are uniformly distributed along the length direction of the condenser to uniformly drain water and improve the cooling uniformity of the condenser. In this embodiment, a water baffle 32 is arranged directly above the drainage hole 30. The edge of the drainage hole 30 extends upward to form an annular protrusion 301. The protrusion height of the annular protrusion 301 is 1-2 mm. The annular protrusion 301 forms a water retaining ring. When the water level is higher than the water retaining ring, the water can overflow from above the water retaining ring and enter the drainage hole. The water retaining ring has a certain filtering function, so that dust and the like are deposited in the water collecting area and cannot flow into the condenser with the water, thereby protecting the condenser from dust and ensuring the heat exchange efficiency and effect of the condenser and prolonging the service life of the condenser. The water baffle 32 is arranged above the drainage hole. Specifically, one side of the annular protrusion 301 extends upward to form a connecting portion 321. The end of the connecting portion is horizontally bent toward one side of the drainage hole 30 to form the water baffle 32. The distance between the water baffle 32 and the top surface of the annular protrusion is 2-4 mm. The shape and size of the water baffle 32 are similar to or slightly larger than those of the drainage hole 30. The water baffle 32 is used for preventing water splashed by the water wheel below from being too high to pass through the drainage hole and enter other areas of the upper base, thereby protecting the components in the upper base and improving the safety and reliability in use. At the same time, since the water retaining ring is arranged on the edge of the drainage hole, a certain water level is accumulated in the water collecting area. In order to avoid water splashing due to excessive shaking during transportation, a plurality of second buffer baffles 31 are arranged in the water collecting area 3a. The second buffer baffles 31 are perpendicular or inclined to the length direction of the water collecting area 3a. The plurality of second buffer baffles 31 are equidistantly arranged along the length direction of the water collecting area to form a plurality of sub-water collecting areas in communication with each other. The sub-water collecting areas effectively limit the turbulence of the water flow, so that the condensed water flows more stably in the water collecting area, thereby reducing the risk of water splashing during transportation.
