[0064] In some embodiments of the utility model, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 and the accompanying drawings Figure 4 As shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The front side of the rear cabinet component 10 (as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The outer peripheral wall of the water receiving tray 20 is provided with a plug buckle 3, the plug buckle 3 has a plug hole 31 matched with the latch assembly 101, when the water receiving tray 20 is assembled from front to rear on the rear cabinet component 10, the latch assembly 101 is arranged in the plug hole 31 from front to rear, which can facilitate the assembly of the water receiving tray 20, improve the reliability of the cooperation between the water receiving tray 20 and the rear cabinet component 10, and make the water receiving tray 20 not easy to loosen after assembly.

[0065] In some embodiments of the utility model, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 , the accompanying drawings Figure 7 and the accompanying drawings Figure 11As shown, the plurality of buckles 3 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the water pan 20, and the plurality of latch assemblies 101 correspond to the plurality of buckles 3 one by one, and through the cooperation of the plurality of latch assemblies 101 and the plurality of buckles 3, the water pan 20 can be fixed to the rear cabinet component 10 at multiple spaced-apart positions, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10.

[0066] In one specific example, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 As shown, the three buckles 3 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the water pan 20, one of the three buckles 3 is located on the lower surface of the rear end of the water pan 20, and the other two are respectively located on the front ends of the left and right side walls of the water pan 20, and the three latch assemblies 101 correspond to the three buckles 3 one by one, and the water pan 20 can be fixed to the rear cabinet component 10 at the left end, the right end and the rear end of the water pan 20, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10.

[0067] In a further embodiment of the present application, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 7 and the accompanying drawings Figure 8 As shown, in combination with the accompanying drawings Figure 6 The plurality of latch assemblies 101 include a first latch assembly 1, and the first latch assembly 1 includes a spring buckle 11 and a limiting rib plate 12. The spring buckle 11 includes a connecting portion 111 and a hook portion 112. The rear end of the connecting portion 111 is connected to the rear cabinet component 10 and penetrates into the insertion hole 31. The hook portion 112 is connected to the front end of the connecting portion 111 and is located on the front side of the buckle 3 and abuts against the front end face of the buckle 3, thereby limiting the movement of the water pan 20 in the direction away from the rear cabinet component 10, avoiding the relative movement between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10 in the front-rear direction after the assembly of the water pan 20, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10, avoiding the shaking of the components in the air conditioner 100 during transportation, and further prolonging the service life of the air conditioner 100.

[0068] It can be understood that the connecting portion 111 has a certain deformation ability. When the water pan 20 is assembled to the rear cabinet component 10, the end of the hook portion 112 away from the connecting portion 111 is blocked by the inner wall of the insertion hole 31, and the front end of the connecting portion 111 is pushed by the blocked hook portion 112 to move in the direction away from the inner wall of the insertion hole 31, the connecting portion 111 deforms and moves along the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 with the hook portion 112, until the hook portion 112 moves to the front side of the buckle 3, the connecting portion 111 resets, and the hook portion 112 abuts against the front end face of the buckle 3.

[0069] Further, see attached document. Figure 6 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the limiting rib plate 12 is provided on the rear box component 10 and spaced apart from the spring buckle 11. The limiting rib plate 12 passes through the insertion hole 31. During the assembly of the water receiving tray 20 and the rear box component 10, the setting of the limiting rib plate 12 can play a certain positioning role, making it easier for the pin assembly 101 to be aligned with the insertion hole 31, thereby reducing the difficulty of the spring buckle 11 and the insertion hole 31 to cooperate.

[0070] It is understood that the multiple pin components 101 include the first pin component 1. It can be that all of the multiple pin components 101 are the first pin component 1, or that some of the multiple pin components 101 are the first pin component 1. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0071] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 8 As shown, the limiting rib plate 12 includes a first plate 121, a second plate 122, and a third plate 123. The first plate 121 and the spring buckle 11 are respectively aligned with the width direction of the insertion hole 31 (see attached diagram). Figure 6 The two inner walls (shown in the up-down direction) abut against each other, which can restrict the relative position of the plug assembly 101 and the plug hole 31 from both sides in the width direction of the plug hole 31, and prevent relative movement between the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10 in the width direction of the plug hole 31. This ensures the reliability and stability of the connection between the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10, and prevents the components inside the air conditioner 100 from shaking during transportation, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the first plate 121 can prevent the connecting part 111 from deforming too much and breaking during the assembly of the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10, thus ensuring the service life of the plug assembly 101.

[0072] Further, see attached document. Figure 8 As shown, the second plate 122 and the third plate 123 are respectively connected to the first plate 121 along its length (see attached diagram). Figure 8 At both ends (as shown in the left-right direction), the second plate 122 and the third plate 123 are respectively aligned with the length direction of the insertion hole 31 (see attached diagram). Figure 4 The two inner walls (shown in the left-right direction) abut against each other, which can restrict the relative position of the plug assembly 101 and the plug hole 31 from both sides of the length direction of the plug hole 31, and prevent relative movement between the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10 in the length direction of the plug hole 31. This ensures the reliability and stability of the connection between the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10, and prevents the components inside the air conditioner 100 from shaking during transportation, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner 100.

[0073] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix.Figure 8 As shown, both the second plate 122 and the third plate 123 include a first sub-plate 124 and a second sub-plate 125. The upper end of the first sub-plate 124 is connected to one end of the first plate 121 along its length. The first sub-plates 124 of the second plate 122 and the third plate 123 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first plate 121 along its length. The ends of the first sub-plates 124 of the second plate 122 and the third plate 123 that are opposite to each other abut against the two inner walls opposite to the insertion hole 31 along its length. This can limit the relative position of the pin assembly 101 and the insertion hole 31 from both sides along the length of the insertion hole 31, preventing the water tray 20 from colliding with the rear housing component 10. The second sub-plate 125 is connected to the end of the first sub-plate 124 opposite to the first plate 121. The second sub-plate 125 abuts against the rear end face of the buckle 3, which can restrict the water tray 20 from moving towards the rear housing component 10. This prevents relative movement between the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10 in the front-to-back direction after the water tray 20 is assembled, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the water tray 20 and the rear housing component 10, preventing the components inside the air conditioner 100 from shaking during transportation, and thus extending the service life of the air conditioner 100.

[0074] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 6 and attached Figure 8 As shown, the hook portion 112 has a first guide slope 113 on the side opposite to the first plate 121, in the direction from back to front (e.g. Figure 6 As shown, the first guide slope 113 is inclined towards the first plate 121, thereby providing a guiding function when assembling the water tray 20 onto the rear housing component 10. This allows the first guide slope 113 to abut against the inner wall of the socket 31 during assembly, facilitating the insertion of the snap-fit ​​11 and the assembly of the water tray 20 with the rear housing component 10. It should be noted that the inner wall of the socket 31 moves relative to the first guide slope 113 from its front end to its rear end, allowing the snap-fit ​​11 to engage with the socket 31 gradually.

[0075] Further, see attached document. Figure 8As shown, the front end of the second plate 122 and the third plate 123 away from the one end of the first plate 121 has a second guide slope 126, in the direction from back to front, the second guide slope 126 is inclined towards the first plate 121, so that the second guide slope 126 can play a guiding role when the water pan 20 is assembled to the rear box body part 10, so that the second guide slope 126 is in contact with the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 during the assembly process, facilitating the insertion of the latch assembly 101, facilitating the assembly of the water pan 20 and the rear box body part 10. It should be noted that the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 moves along the second guide slope 126 and moves from the front end of the second guide slope 126 to the rear end, so that the latch assembly 101 can be gradually matched with the insertion hole 31.

[0076] Further, with reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 6 and the accompanying drawings Figure 12 As shown, the rear end of the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 has a third guide slope 32, the third guide slope 32 extends along the circumferential direction of the insertion hole 31, in the direction from front to back, the third guide slope 32 is inclined towards the direction away from the axis of the insertion hole 31, so that the third guide slope 32 can play a guiding role when the water pan 20 is assembled to the rear box body part 10, so that the buckle 11 and the limiting rib plate 12 are guided along the third guide slope 32 during the assembly process, facilitating the assembly of the water pan 20 and the rear box body part 10. It should be noted that the latch assembly 101 moves along the third guide slope 32 and moves from the rear end of the third guide slope 32 to the front end, so that the buckle assembly can be gradually matched with the buckle groove.

[0077] In a further embodiment of the present application, with reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 8 As shown, the limiting rib plate 12 and the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 are provided with a limiting rib 13 on the surface opposite to each other, the limiting rib 13 is in contact with the inner wall of the insertion hole 31, the limiting rib 13 can avoid the limiting rib plate 12 directly in contact with the inner wall of the insertion hole 31, the surface contact between the limiting rib plate 12 and the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 can be changed into the line-surface contact between the limiting rib 13 and the inner wall of the insertion hole 31, thereby reducing the frictional force during the assembly of the latch assembly 101 and the insertion hole 31, facilitating the assembly of the water pan 20 and the rear box body part 10.

[0078] Further, with reference to the accompanying drawings Figure 8As shown, the front end of the limiting rib 13 has a fourth guide slope 131, which is inclined towards the direction away from the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 in the direction from back to front, thereby playing a guiding role when the water pan 20 is assembled to the rear cabinet component 10, so that the fourth guide slope 131 is in abutment with the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 during the assembly process, facilitating the introduction of the latch assembly 101 and the assembly of the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10. It should be noted that the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 moves along the fourth guide slope 131 and moves from the front end to the rear end of the fourth guide slope 131, thereby gradually matching the latch assembly 101 and the insertion hole 31.

[0079] It should be noted that if the limiting rib 13 is not provided on the limiting rib plate 12, the fourth guide slope 131 is directly provided on the limiting rib plate 12, and due to the limitation of the thickness of the limiting rib plate 12, the production and processing of the fourth guide slope 131 are not conducive, resulting in that the fourth guide slope 131 cannot be processed or the guide surface is small, thereby affecting the guiding effect of the fourth guide slope 131 and the matching of the latch assembly 101 and the insertion hole 31.

[0080] In a further embodiment of the present application, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 8 As shown, the limiting rib 13 includes a third sub-plate 132 and a fourth sub-plate 133, the third sub-plate 132 is connected with the limiting rib plate 12 and abuts against the inner wall of the insertion hole 31, the fourth guide slope 131 is provided at the front end of the third sub-plate 132, which can limit the relative position of the latch assembly 101 and the insertion hole 31, and avoid relative movement between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10, the fourth sub-plate 133 is connected to the end of the third sub-plate 132 away from the limiting rib plate 12, and abuts against the rear end surface of the insertion buckle 3, which can limit the movement of the water pan 20 towards the rear cabinet component 10, and avoid relative movement between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10 in the front-rear direction after the assembly of the water pan 20 is completed, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10, avoiding the shaking of the components in the air conditioner 100 during transportation, and further prolonging the service life of the air conditioner 100.

[0081] In a further embodiment of the present application, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 and the accompanying drawings Figure 5 As shown, the plurality of latch assemblies 101 further includes a second latch assembly 2, the second latch assembly 2 includes a first rib 21 and a second rib 22, the extension directions of the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 are perpendicular to each other, and the two ends of the extension direction of the first rib 21 (the up-down direction as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 5 abut against the two inner walls opposite to each other in the length direction of the insertion hole 31 (the up-down direction as shown in the accompanying drawings Figure 5 abut against the two inner walls opposite to each other in the length direction of the insertion hole 31 (the up-down direction as shown in the accompanying drawingsFigure 5 The two ends (shown in the left and right directions) are respectively aligned with the width direction of the socket 31 (see attached diagram). Figure 5 The two inner walls (shown in the left and right directions) abut against each other. The cooperation of the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 can ensure the structural strength of the second pin assembly 2. The setting of the second pin assembly 2 can play a pre-positioning role in the assembly of the water receiving tray 20 and the rear box component 10, and improve the accuracy of the cooperation between the water receiving tray 20 and the rear box component 10.

[0082] In a specific example, see Appendix Figure 5 As shown, the first rib 21 extends in the vertical direction, and the second rib 22 extends in the horizontal direction. The second rib 22 is staggered with the first rib 21 and there are two ribs 22 spaced apart in the extension direction of the first rib 21. Both second ribs 22 are connected to the first rib 21. Compared with the "I" frame or "+" frame structure in the prior art, the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 support each other, which can improve the structural strength of the second pin assembly 2.

[0083] Preferably, such as Figure 5 As shown, the front ends of both the first rib 21 and the second rib 22 have a fifth guide slope 23. In the front-to-back direction, the fifth guide slope 23 is inclined towards the inner peripheral wall of the insertion hole 31, thus providing a guiding function when assembling the water tray 20 onto the rear housing component 10. This allows the fifth guide slope 23 to abut against the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 during assembly, facilitating the insertion of the pin assembly 101 and the assembly of the water tray 20 with the rear housing component 10. It should be noted that the inner wall of the insertion hole 31 moves relative to the fifth guide slope 23 from its front end to its rear end, allowing the pin assembly 101 to gradually engage with the insertion hole 31.

[0084] In a further embodiment of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 4 and attached Figure 7 As shown, the first pin assembly 1 is located in the middle area of ​​the rear housing component 10 along the left-right direction, and the second pin assembly 2 is located at at least one end of the rear housing component 10 along the left-right direction. It can fix the water receiving tray 20 to the rear housing component 10 from the middle area of ​​the rear housing component 10 and at least one end along the left-right direction, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the water receiving tray 20 and the rear housing component 10.

[0085] It should be noted that the first latch assembly 1 is arranged in the middle region of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction, which can ensure the balance of the water pan 20 in the left-right direction, prevent the water pan 20 from being skewed to the two ends of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction, limit the movement of the water pan 20 in the left-right direction, and further improve the stability of the connection between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10. Since the space at the two ends of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction is relatively small, arranging the second latch assembly 2 at least at one end of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction can better adapt the second latch assembly 2 with relatively small occupied space to the rear cabinet component 10, thereby reducing the matching difficulty of the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10.

[0086] In one specific example, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 4 and the accompanying drawings Figure 7 It is shown that the first latch assembly 1 is arranged in the middle region of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction, and the second latch assembly 2 is arranged at both ends of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction. The first latch assembly 1 cooperates with the plug 3 on the lower surface of the rear end of the water pan 20, and the two second latch assemblies 2 respectively cooperate with the two plugs 3 on the front ends of the left and right side walls of the water pan 20. The water pan 20 can be fixed with the rear cabinet component 10 from the left end, the right end and the rear end of the water pan 20, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the water pan 20 and the rear cabinet component 10.

[0087] It should be noted that the three latch assemblies 101 are arranged on the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction. When the three latch assemblies 101 include one first latch assembly 1 and two second latch assemblies 2, the first latch assembly 1 is arranged in the middle region of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction, and the two second latch assemblies 2 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction. When the three latch assemblies 101 include two first latch assemblies 1 and one second latch assembly 2, the two first latch assemblies 1 are respectively arranged at both ends of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction, and the second latch assembly 2 is arranged in the middle region of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction. When the three latch assemblies 101 are all first latch assemblies 1, the three first latch assemblies 1 are respectively arranged in the middle region and at both ends of the rear cabinet component 10 in the left-right direction.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 It is shown that the rear cabinet component 10 is provided with a pipe outlet 102, and the drain pipe 4 of the water pan 20 is arranged at the pipe outlet 102. The condensed water in the water pan 20 can flow into the drain pipe 4 and flow out of the air conditioner 100 along the drain pipe 4. The arrangement of the pipe outlet 102 can position the drain pipe 4, so that the drain pipe 4 can pass out of the pipe outlet 102. This can ensure that the condensed water flows out of the air conditioner 100 smoothly, and ensure that the appearance of the air conditioner 100 is beautiful.

[0089] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 14 As shown, the water receiving tray 20 includes a water receiving tray body 5, which has a water receiving groove 51. The upper side of the water receiving groove 51 is open, and the condensate generated when the heat exchanger assembly 40 is working will fall into the water receiving groove 51. The bottom wall of the water receiving groove 51 is provided with a sludge accumulation groove 52. The bottom wall of the sludge accumulation groove 52 is provided with a drain hole 53 and a protruding section 54, which surrounds the drain hole 53.

[0090] In related technologies, condensate in the drip tray often carries dust, silt, and other solids as it flows toward the drain hole. These solids then flow into the drain pipe of the drip tray along with the condensate. If the drain pipe is blocked or has bends that create backflow, and the condensate flow is low, gravity can cause some of the dust, silt, and other solids to accumulate at the bends, gradually clogging the drain pipe. This prevents the condensate from draining properly from the air conditioner, causing it to accumulate and eventually backflow into the drip tray, overflowing from the overflow port or around the drip tray. This can lead to air conditioner drainage malfunctions or electrical safety hazards.

[0091] This invention, by setting up a sludge collection trough 52 and a protruding section 54, allows the condensate in the water receiving trough 51 to first flow into the sludge collection area formed by the inner wall of the sludge collection trough 52 and the outer wall of the protruding section 54. This causes dust, silt, and other solids to settle and accumulate in the sludge collection area under gravity, preventing dust, silt, and other solids from flowing directly to the drain hole 53 with the condensate and from clogging the drain pipe 4. When the liquid level in the sludge collection trough 52 overflows the protruding section 54, the condensate in the sludge collection trough 52 can flow over the protruding section 54 to the drain hole 53 and then into the drain pipe 4. Even if the drain pipe 4 has a bend 43 that creates a backflow, it can still ensure that the condensate flows out of the air conditioner 100 normally, thereby ensuring the normal discharge of condensate and avoiding potential electrical safety hazards.

[0092] It should be noted that the reference appendix Figure 9 and attached Figure 10 As shown, the buckle 3 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the water receiving tray body 5. The lower surface of the water receiving tray body 5 is provided with a downwardly extending connecting pipe section 55. The connecting pipe section 55 surrounds the drain hole 53. The connecting pipe section 55 and the water receiving tray body 5 are integral parts and can be used to install the drain pipe 4, which can facilitate the demolding of the water receiving tray body 5. The drain pipe 4 includes a first drain pipe 41 and a second drain pipe 42. The first drain pipe 41 and the second drain pipe 42 are arranged and connected in the length direction of the drain pipe 4. The first drain pipe 41 is press-fitted and snapped into the connecting pipe section 55. The second drain pipe 42 is press-fitted and snapped into the end of the first drain pipe 41 that is away from the water receiving tray body 5. The connection between the second drain pipe 42 and the first drain pipe 41 can be reinforced with waterproof tape.

[0093] In further embodiments of the present application, referring to Figs. 1-3, the upper end of the protruding section 54 has a slot 541, which can break the liquid surface tension of the protruding section 54 at the drain hole 53, so as to facilitate the condensed water in the dreg groove 52 to flow to the drain hole 53, and ensure that the condensed water can normally flow out of the air conditioner 100. Figure 13 As shown in Figs. 1-3, the slot 541 is provided at the upper end of the protruding section 54, which can break the liquid surface tension of the protruding section 54 at the drain hole 53, so as to facilitate the condensed water in the dreg groove 52 to flow to the drain hole 53, and ensure that the condensed water can normally flow out of the air conditioner 100.

Figure 13 As shown in Figs. 1-3, the slot 541 is provided at the upper end of the protruding section 54, which can break the liquid surface tension of the protruding section 54 at the drain hole 53, so as to facilitate the condensed water in the dreg groove 52 to flow to the drain hole 53, and ensure that the condensed water can normally flow out of the air conditioner 100.

[0095] In further embodiments of the present application, referring to Figs. 1-3, the upper end of the protruding section 54 has a slot 541, which can break the liquid surface tension of the protruding section 54 at the drain hole 53, so as to facilitate the condensed water in the dreg groove 52 to flow to the drain hole 53, and ensure that the condensed water can normally flow out of the air conditioner 100. Figure 13 As shown in Figs. 1-3, the slot 541 is provided at the upper end of the protruding section 54, which can break the liquid surface tension of the protruding section 54 at the drain hole 53, so as to facilitate the condensed water in the dreg groove 52 to flow to the drain hole 53, and ensure that the condensed water can normally flow out of the air conditioner 100.
