[0063] The embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar notations represent the same or similar elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0064] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplification, the components and arrangements of the specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0065] Below, with reference to the drawings, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0066] Referring to Figure 1 , the air conditioner 100 comprises an air heat exchange component 1 and an air treatment component 2, the air heat exchange component 1 comprises a heat exchanger 11 and a water pan 12 arranged below the heat exchanger 11, referring to Figure 2 , the water pan 12 has an overflow hole 122; in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the air treatment component 2 is arranged below the air heat exchange component 1, and comprises at least one of a humidification module 21, a purification module 22 and a fresh air module 23, in combination with Figure 14 and Figure 5The air treatment component 2 comprises a water receiving groove 21111 located below the overflow hole 122 and having an open top to receive the water drained from the overflow hole 122.

[0067] In the related art, the air conditioner, when the air heat exchange component operates in the cooling mode, condensate water is generated on the surface of the heat exchanger. Therefore, a water receiving tray is usually arranged below the heat exchanger to receive the condensate water. When the water receiving tray fails to drain water, the water will overflow from the water receiving tray in disorder. Once the overflow water flows to the key components of the air conditioner, the components may be damaged, affecting the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0068] In the technical solution of the present application, the overflow hole 122 is arranged on the water receiving tray 12, and the water receiving groove 21111 located below the overflow hole 122 is arranged on the air treatment component 2. When the water receiving tray 12 fails to drain water, the water level reaches the overflow height, and the condensate water is drained through the overflow hole 122 and flows into the water receiving groove 21111, achieving the effect of directional overflow. The overflow water drainage is more reliable, and the overflow water drainage path effectively avoids other components of the air conditioner, effectively reducing the risk of damage to electrical elements caused by the overflow of the water receiving tray 12 in disorder when the water receiving tray 12 is full, and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100. In addition, the water receiving groove 21111 can also serve as a container for storing the overflow condensate water. When a large amount of overflow condensate water flows down instantaneously, the volume of the water receiving groove 21111 can be used as a buffer to improve the instantaneous overflow condensate water processing capacity of the overflow system, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0069] It is worth noting that the normal water drainage mode of the water receiving tray 12 is not limited. For example, a water drainage hole can be arranged, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the water drainage hole, or a water drainage pipe can be arranged to drain water from the water receiving tray 12. When the water drainage hole or the water drainage pipe is blocked, the water receiving tray 12 fails to drain water, and the overflow water can be drained through the overflow hole 122 at this time.

[0070] It is worth noting that the water drainage scheme of the water receiving groove 21111 is not limited and can be designed as various water drainage schemes as needed. For example, a water drainage pipe can be arranged to drain water from the water receiving groove 21111, and for example, the water receiving groove 21111 can be designed to have a water drainage channel connected to the bottom, and the like.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the air treatment component 2 is not limited. For example, the air treatment component 2 can comprise at least one of a humidification module 21, a purification module 22, and a fresh air module 23. The air treatment component 2 can be designed and selected according to actual needs to meet the needs of humidifying, purifying, or introducing fresh air to the air, thereby improving the indoor air quality.

[0072] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 can further comprise a water level sensor 13 arranged on the water receiving tray 12 to detect the water level of the water receiving tray 12. Figure 4 and Figure 10The air treatment component 2 comprises an air outlet frame body 211, the air outlet frame body 211 is provided with an air outlet 2115, the upper end of the air outlet frame body 211 is provided with a water receiving part 2111, the water receiving part 2111 defines a water receiving groove 21111, the groove bottom of the water receiving groove 21111 is provided with a water leakage hole 21111b, and the air outlet frame body 211 forms a water guide channel 211a below the water leakage hole 21111b.

[0073] In the above technical solution, since the water receiving groove 21111 is arranged at the upper end of the air outlet frame body 211, the condensed water accumulated in the water receiving groove 21111 still has the possibility of leakage and intrusion into the components below the air outlet frame body 211. The groove bottom of the water receiving groove 21111 is provided with a water leakage hole 21111b, so that the condensed water can be smoothly discharged from the water receiving groove 21111, and the air outlet frame body 211 forms a water guide channel 211a below the water leakage hole 21111b, which can guide the condensed water to continue to flow orderly downward, reduce the disorderly flow and accumulation of the condensed water in the equipment, and improve the drainage efficiency and performance of the equipment.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of water leakage holes 21111b is not limited. For example, the water leakage hole 21111b can be one, which is simple and practical, and is suitable for small air treatment components 2; the water leakage hole 21111b can also be multiple, which can disperse the drainage pressure and improve the drainage efficiency, and is suitable for air treatment components 2 in large or high-humidity environments.

[0075] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10 The air treatment component 2 comprises a humidification module 21, the humidification module 21 comprises an air outlet frame body 211, the air outlet frame body 211 defines a humidification air duct 2114, the air outlet frame body 211 comprises a mounting part 2113 and an upper air outlet part 2112, the air outlet 2115 comprises an upper air outlet 21151 defined by the upper air outlet part 2112, the mounting part 2113 is located on the front side of the humidification air duct 2114 and defines a water tank mounting cavity 21131 which is open forward, the upper air outlet part 2112 is located above the mounting part 2113 and communicates with the humidification air duct 2114, the water receiving part 2111 is located on one side of the left and right sides of the upper air outlet part 2112, and the water guide channel 211a is located on one side of the left and right sides of the mounting part 2113 and below the water receiving part 2111.

[0076] In the above technical solution, the humidification module 21 integrates key components such as the humidification air duct 2114, the air outlet 2115, the water tank mounting cavity 21131 and the water guide channel 211a through the air outlet frame body 211, so that the structure of the entire air treatment component 2 is more compact, space is saved, and the overall performance and efficiency of the equipment are improved.

[0077] The installation part 2113 is located at the front side of the humidifying air duct 2114, and defines a water tank installation cavity 21131 which is open to the front, so that the operator can clean, add water, and the like to the water tank, improving the ease of use and maintainability of the equipment.

[0078] The water receiving part 2111 is located at one side of the left and right sides of the upper air outlet part 2112, and the water guide channel 211a is located at one side of the left and right sides of the installation part 2113 and below the water receiving part 2111. The water receiving part 2111 and the water guide channel 211a can be flexibly arranged according to the layout of the air handling component 2, improving the integration of the air handling component 2.

[0079] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10 , the air outlet frame 211 protrudes outwardly with a first water blocking rib 211b, the first water blocking rib 211b extends downwardly from the water leakage hole 21111b, and at least part of the water guide channel 211a is defined on the side of the first water blocking rib 211b close to the installation part 2113.

[0080] In the above technical solution, the air outlet frame 211 protrudes outwardly with a first water blocking rib 211b, effectively blocking the condensed water flowing from the water leakage hole 21111b from directly contacting the electronic components or other sensitive components inside the equipment, thereby reducing the risk of equipment damage caused by moisture intrusion. At least part of the water guide channel 211a is defined on the side of the first water blocking rib 211b close to the installation part 2113, and the first water blocking rib 211b cooperates with the side plate of the installation part 2113 to jointly define the part of the water guide channel 211a flowing through the air outlet frame 211, guiding the condensed water to continue to flow downwardly in an orderly manner.

[0081] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10 , the air outlet frame 211 includes a rear baffle structure 211d below the first water blocking rib 211b, the air outlet frame 211 protrudes outwardly with a second water blocking rib 211c, and the second water blocking rib 211c is located in front of the rear baffle structure 211d, so that the lower part of the water guide channel 211a is defined between the second water blocking rib 211c and the rear baffle structure 211d.

[0082] In the above technical solution, the protection of the rear baffle structure 211d and the second water blocking rib 211c effectively blocks water from entering the interior of the equipment from below, front, and rear, significantly improving the waterproof performance of the equipment. In addition, the lower part of the water guide channel 211a defined by the second water blocking rib 211c and the rear baffle structure 211d guides the condensed water to continue to flow downwardly in an orderly manner, reduces the residence time of the condensed water, and improves the drainage efficiency.

[0083] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 3 andFigure 11 The air treatment component 2 further comprises a purification module 22, which is located below the humidification module 21, and the purification module 22 forms a water guide channel 222 below the water guide channel 211a.

[0084] In the above technical solution, by integrating the purification module 22 into the air treatment component 2, the device not only has the humidification function, but also has the air purification function. This design enables the device to adjust the humidity in the air and remove pollutants in the air, providing a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for the user.

[0085] The purification module 22 is located below the humidification module 21, i.e. the air flows through the purification module 22 and then flows through the humidification module 21. When the humidification module 21 uses a wet film assembly for humidification, the air treated by the purification module 22 is cleaner, which makes the wet film assembly less likely to accumulate dust, thereby prolonging the service life of the wet film assembly.

[0086] For example, when the purification module 22 uses the principle of electrostatic adsorption for purification, the fine particulate matter in the air is first subjected to electrification treatment, and then the electrostatic adsorption principle is used to effectively collect these charged particulate matter. However, humid air is not easy to make fine particulate matter in it subjected to electrification treatment, thereby affecting the purification effect.

[0087] The purification module 22 forms a water guide channel 222 below the water guide channel 211a, so that the water flowing out of the water guide channel 211a can continue to flow downward along the water guide channel 222, reducing the possibility of water intrusion into the electronic components in the purification module 22. The presence of the water guide channel 222 also helps to reduce the direct impact of water on the purification module 22, thereby prolonging the service life and purification effect of the purification module 22.

[0088] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 11 The upper end opening width H1 of the water guide channel 222 is greater than the lower end opening width H2 of the water guide channel 211a.

[0089] In the above technical solution, due to the larger upper end opening width of the water guide channel 222, it can more effectively receive the condensed water flowing out of the lower end of the water guide channel 211a, reducing the retention and splashing of water at the junction, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion or damage of the device caused by retention or splashing, and improving the reliability of water drainage.

[0090] In the embodiments of the present application, the opening width of the water guide channel 222 can be fixed or variable. For example, the upper end of the water guide channel 222 has a larger opening width, which can effectively receive the condensed water flowing out of the lower end of the water guide channel 211a, reduce the retention and splashing of water at the joint, and the lower end of the water guide channel 222 has a smaller opening width, which can more effectively constrain the flow of condensed water and guide the condensed water to continue to flow downward in an orderly manner.

[0091] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 11 and Figure 12 The purification module 22 includes a purification frame 221, and a purification air duct 2212 is formed in the purification frame 221. The purification air duct 2212 communicates with the humidification air duct 2114. The purification frame 221 protrudes outwardly with a third water retaining rib 2211 extending in the up-down direction. The third water retaining rib 2211 is provided in two and spaced to define the water guide channel 222 between the two third water retaining ribs 2211.

[0092] In the above technical solution, the water guide channel 222 is formed outside the purification frame 221 by the two spaced third water retaining ribs 2211. Thus, the water flowing out of the water guide channel 211a can smoothly enter the water guide channel 222. The third water retaining rib 2211 extending in the up-down direction helps to form a continuous and stable water retaining barrier, further improving the waterproof performance of the equipment.

[0093] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 13 The lower part of the humidification module 21 is provided with a water tray 212. The water tray 212 forms a water pool for providing humidification water or receiving water. The side wall of the water tray 212 forms an overflow opening 2121 at the upper end, which communicates with the water pool and is located above the water guide channel 222 to adapt to the water discharge to the water guide channel 222.

[0094] In the above technical solution, the water pool formed in the water tray 212 is used to store humidification water, ensuring that the humidification module 21 can continuously and stably provide humidified air. At the same time, the setting of the overflow opening 2121 prevents the problem of disorderly overflow caused by the high water level in the water pool, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0095] The overflow opening 2121 is located above the water guide channel 222. When the water level in the water pool reaches the overflow opening 2121, the excess water will be discharged into the water guide channel 222 through the overflow opening 2121, without the need to separately set a drainage channel for the overflow opening 2121, thereby improving the integration of the air treatment component 2.

[0096] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 andFigure 3 The air treatment component 2 further comprises a fresh air module 23, which is located below the purification module 22 and is used to send air to the purification module 22 and the humidification module 21 in sequence in the upward direction.

[0097] The fresh air module 23 is located below the purification module 22 and is used to send air to the purification module 22 and the humidification module 21 in sequence in the upward direction, so that the fresh air module 23, the purification module 22 and the humidification module 21 are arranged in sequence along the air flow direction, wherein the air flow introduced by the fresh air module 23 can first flow through the purification module 22 and then flow through the humidification module 21, and at least one of humidification and purification is realized according to the type selection and opening control of the purification module 22 and the humidification module 21.

[0098] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 9 The water collecting tank 21111 is provided with a splash-proof structure 21111a.

[0099] In the above technical solution, the water collecting tank 21111 is provided with a splash-proof structure 21111a, which effectively reduces the splashing of water flow when falling into the water collecting tank 21111, thereby reducing the possibility of condensate splashing onto electronic components. In addition, the splash-proof structure 21111a can reduce noise and improve user experience. The sound of condensate directly impacting the bottom of the water collecting tank 21111 is often loud, and the splash-proof structure 21111a can absorb or disperse part of the impact force, making the noise softer. Since the splash-proof structure 21111a reduces the direct impact of the water flow on the water collecting tank 21111, this structure also helps to improve the durability of the water collecting tank 21111, thereby reducing the risk of wear and corrosion.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present application, the structure form and material of the splash-proof structure 21111a are not limited, for example, the splash-proof structure 21111a can be a rubber splash-proof pad, a metal mesh splash-proof net, a plastic splash-proof plate, or a splash-proof protrusion lattice; the rubber splash-proof pad is soft and elastic, which can effectively absorb the impact force of the water flow and reduce splashing; the metal mesh splash-proof net is firm and durable, easy to clean; the plastic splash-proof plate is low in cost and easy to process into various shapes and sizes, suitable for various water tank designs.

[0101] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 9 The splash-proof structure 21111a comprises a plurality of protrusions protruding upward from the bottom of the water collecting tank 21111, and the plurality of protrusions are arranged in a multi-row and multi-column array. In this way, the water flow can come into contact with the protrusions more when falling into the water collecting tank 21111, thereby effectively dispersing and slowing down the impact force of the water flow and reducing splashing. At the same time, the multi-row and multi-column array arrangement enables the protrusions to cover a larger area of the water collecting tank 21111, further improving the splash-proof effect.

[0102] The shape and arrangement of the protrusions can guide the water flow along a specific path, reducing the stagnation and vortex phenomenon of the water flow in the water collecting groove 21111. The drainage structure (such as the drain hole 21111b) helps to ensure that the water can flow more smoothly to the water collecting groove 21111, improving the drainage efficiency. In addition, the arrangement of the protrusions can also enhance the structural strength of the water collecting groove 21111 to some extent. These protrusions can serve as additional support points to disperse the pressure that the water collecting groove 21111 may be subjected to during use, thereby prolonging its service life.

[0103] As shown in the examples, Figure 9 The water collecting groove 21111 is provided with a splash-proof structure 21111a, which includes a plurality of protrusions protruding upward from the bottom of the water collecting groove 21111. The plurality of protrusions are arranged in multiple rows and columns, and the protrusions are cylindrical with a hemispherical top. As a result, when the condensed water falls into the water collecting groove 21111, it drips onto the top of the protrusions, effectively dispersing and slowing down the impact force of the water flow and reducing the splashing phenomenon.

[0104] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 14 , the air conditioner 100 further comprises a bottom plate 3 located below the air handling component 2, which receives the water drained from the air handling component 2.

[0105] In the above technical solution, since the bottom plate 3 is lower than the air handling component 2, the bottom plate 3 can effectively receive and collect the condensed water generated by the air handling component 2 during operation, so that the condensed water does not directly drip onto the ground, keeping the ground around the equipment dry and clean. In addition, even if the condensed water in the bottom plate 3 overflows, it will not damage the electronic components or cause a short circuit of the circuit, etc.

[0106] In some embodiments, the water collecting tray 12 also has a drain hole 121, and the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121.

[0107] In the above technical solution, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121. During normal operation, the condensed water is drained through the drain hole 121, while when the drain hole 121 is blocked, the water level in the water collecting tray 12 reaches the overflow height, and the condensed water is drained through the overflow hole and flows into the water collecting groove 21111, achieving the effect of directional drainage along the designed path, solving the problem of drainage failure, thereby effectively reducing the risk of damage to electronic components caused by uncontrolled overflow of the water collecting tray 12, and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121, but it is not necessarily higher, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 should be lower than the height of the maximum capacity of the water pan 12, so that the accumulated water can be effectively discharged through the overflow hole 122 before the water pan 12 is full.

[0109] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the drain hole 121 penetrates the bottom wall of the water pan 12, and the overflow column 123 protrudes above the bottom wall of the water pan 12, and the overflow hole 122 penetrates the overflow column 123 in the up-down direction.

[0110] In the above technical solution, by directly penetrating the drain hole 121 in the bottom wall of the water pan 12, and protruding the overflow column 123 with the overflow hole 122 above the bottom wall, the entire drainage structure is compact and the function is clear. The drain hole 121 is responsible for normal drainage, while the overflow column 123 and the overflow hole 122 thereon serve as a backup drainage path to ensure that excess water can be discharged in time when the drain hole 121 is blocked or the drainage capacity is insufficient. Specifically, since the drain hole 121 directly penetrates the bottom wall of the water pan 12, the accumulation time of water flow in the water pan 12 is reduced, and the drainage efficiency is improved. At the same time, the bottom wall of the water pan 12 protrudes above the overflow column 123, so that the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121, providing additional safety for the drainage system, preventing the condensate from overflowing disorderly due to poor drainage.

[0111] In the embodiments of the present application, the shape of the overflow column 123 is not limited, and the overflow column 123 can be optionally cylindrical, conical, square, etc. to adapt to different installation spaces and drainage requirements. In addition, multiple overflow columns 123 can be provided on the water pan 12, and each overflow column 123 is provided with an overflow hole 122 to improve the redundancy and safety of the drainage system. Furthermore, the sizes of the drain hole 121 and the overflow hole 122 can be adjusted according to the drainage volume requirement and the maximum capacity of the water pan 12 to achieve the best drainage effect.

[0112] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the upper end of the column wall of the overflow column 123 is locally recessed downward to form a water breaking opening 1231, and the water breaking opening 1231 communicates the outside of the overflow column 123 with the overflow hole 122.

[0113] In the above technical solution, the upper end of the column wall of the overflow column 123 is locally recessed downward to form a water breaking opening 1231, which breaks the liquid surface tension of the condensate around the column wall of the overflow column 123, so that the condensate can flow smoothly into the overflow hole 122 after reaching the height of the water breaking opening 1231, preventing the condensate in the water pan 12 from continuing to accumulate, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0114] In addition, due to the presence of the water breaking opening 1231, even if impurities or particulate matters in the condensed water accumulate around the column wall of the overflow column 123, they are more likely to be discharged through these openings, reducing the risk of blockage caused by impurity accumulation.

[0115] In embodiments of the present application, the shape of the water breaking opening 1231 is not limited, and the water breaking opening 1231 can be circular, rectangular, oval, etc., to better adapt to the fluid dynamics characteristics and drainage requirements, such as different shapes of water breaking opening 1231 suitable for discharging different shapes of impurities.

[0116] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the water breaking opening 1231 is multiple and is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the overflow column 123. In this way, the water flow can be more effectively dispersed, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire drainage system. In addition, the water breaking opening 1231 is multiple, reducing the impact of water flow at a single location, which helps to reduce the risk of damage caused by water flow scouring.

[0117] Exemplarily, as Figure 6 shown, the overflow column 123 is cylindrical, and the upper end of the column wall of the overflow column 123 is concave downward to form two rectangular water breaking openings 1231, and the two water breaking openings 1231 are arranged opposite to each other along the circumference of the overflow column 123.

[0118] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the overflow columns 123 are multiple and have different protrusion heights, so as to correspond to the multiple overflow holes 122 formed at different horizontal heights.

[0119] In the above technical solutions, by arranging multiple overflow columns 123 with different protrusion heights, multiple overflow holes 122 with different upper end horizontal heights are formed, and the overflow holes 122 with different heights can drain water at different water levels, ensuring effective drainage under different water level conditions, reducing the possibility of drainage blockage and failure of a single height overflow hole 122, improving the reliability of drainage, and thus improving the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0120] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 2 , the multiple overflow columns 123 are arranged in a concentrated manner to be located above the same water receiving groove 21111. In this way, the multiple overflow columns 123 can share one water receiving groove 21111, thereby more effectively utilizing the drainage capacity of the water receiving groove 21111, so that the water flow can flow into the water receiving groove 21111 more quickly and more concentratedly, which helps to reduce the residence time of the condensed water and reduce the risk of water damage. In addition, the concentrated arrangement makes the space occupied by the multiple overflow columns 123 more compact, thereby optimizing the space utilization.

[0121] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the bottom wall of the water pan 12 is provided with a water guide portion 124 protruding downward, the water guide portion 124 is provided with a water guide surface 1241 for guiding the water flow of the overflow column 123 to the water collecting groove 21111, the water guide surface 1241 extends downward along the direction from the overflow hole 122 to the water collecting groove 21111.

[0122] In the above technical solution, by providing the water guide portion 124 protruding downward from the bottom wall of the water pan 12, and the water guide portion 124 is provided with a water guide surface 1241 for guiding the water flow of the overflow column 123 to the water collecting groove 21111, the water flow discharged from the overflow column 123 can be effectively guided, and the possibility of splashing of the condensed water is reduced. Specifically, the provision of the water guide portion 124 can ensure that the water flow flows along the water guide surface 1241 under the action of gravity, and only when it flows to the bottom of the water guide surface 1241 will it drop into the water collecting groove 21111, reducing the dropping height of the condensed water, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the condensed water after dropping. As a result, the condensed water dropped into the water collecting groove 21111 will not cause water splashing, and the noise generated by water splashing is reduced, thereby improving the safety performance and quietness performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0123] In addition, compared with the traditional drainage structure design, the present solution achieves the function of efficient and directional drainage to the water collecting groove 21111 through the simple water guide portion 124, without the need to increase additional drainage pipelines or complex water flow guiding mechanisms, thereby simplifying the product structure and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0124] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 8 , the water guide surface 1241 extends along an inclined surface or a curved surface relative to the vertical surface. Compared with a flat surface or a straight edge, the resistance of the water flow on the water guide surface 1241 can be reduced. When the water flow flows on the inclined surface or the curved surface, it can flow more smoothly, avoiding vortex and splashing caused by the impact of the water flow on the straight edge, further improving the stability and efficiency of the drainage.

[0125] In addition, the inclined surface or the curved surface can disperse the impact force of the water flow on the water guide portion 124, reducing the structural wear and deformation caused by the water flow, thereby prolonging the service life of the product.

[0126] Furthermore, since the condensed water contains dust particles, the water guide surface 1241 is provided as an inclined surface or a curved surface, so that the dust is not easy to accumulate on the water guide surface 1241 during the discharge of the condensed water, reducing the space for bacterial breeding and dirt accumulation, facilitating the user to perform regular cleaning and maintenance work, thereby further prolonging the service life of the product.

[0127] Exemplarily, as Figure 5As shown, the bottom wall of the water pan 12 protrudes downwardly a water guide portion 124, the water guide portion 124 has a water guide surface 1241 for guiding the water flow of the overflow column 123 to the water collecting groove 21111, the water guide surface 1241 is curved and extends along the direction from the overflow hole 122 to the water collecting groove 21111. Thus, the water flow flows along the water guide surface 1241 under the action of gravity, reduces the dropping height of the condensed water, and then drops into the water collecting groove 21111, reduces the possibility of splashing water, and effectively prevents the damage of electrical components and safety accidents, thereby improving the safety performance and quiet performance of the air conditioner 100.
