Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a water guiding structure and a window air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Window air conditioners, as a common refrigeration device, are widely used in homes and commercial spaces. Internally, the fan assembly plays a crucial role, responsible for circulating air to achieve cooling and heat exchange. During operation, condensation is an unavoidable byproduct. This condensation typically adheres to the fan blades and is flung out with fan rotation. To prevent condensation from splashing onto other internal components and causing corrosion or short circuits, traditional window air conditioners usually have a primary deflector plate around the fan blades.

[0003] However, traditional first deflector plates typically employ a complete ring structure surrounding the fan blades. While this structure effectively prevents condensate from splashing, it inevitably occupies part of the fan blade's air intake space, thus reducing the fan's effective air intake area and decreasing the fan's airflow and the air conditioner's cooling efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a water-guiding structure and window air conditioner that effectively blocks condensate while increasing the air intake of the fan.

[0008] Among them, an air intake channel is formed between two adjacent second water guide plates to allow airflow to enter the air inlet.

[0009] Preferably, the second water guide plate has an arc-shaped structure, and the concave surface of the arc-shaped structure is opposite to the rotation direction of the fan.

[0010] Preferably, the second water guide plate is integrally formed with the first water guide plate.

[0011] Preferably, the first water guide plate has an air inlet on its radial outer side, and the air inlet is located in the first half-circle of the fan rotation direction.

[0012] Preferably, the axial length of the first water guide plate is greater than the axial length of the fan.

[0013] Preferably, the predetermined area is the chassis of the window air conditioner.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall surface of the first water guide plate is a circular arc surface coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft of the fan, and a predetermined gap is provided between the inner wall surface of the first water guide plate and the outer edge of the fan.

[0015] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a window air conditioner, comprising the water guide structure of any one of the first aspect, and a fan support, wherein a plurality of connecting arms extending in the radial direction of the first water guide plate are arranged on the fan support, and the first water guide plate is connected with the fan support through the connecting arms.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a water-guiding structure for use in window air conditioners, which aims to effectively prevent condensate water from splashing during the operation of the window air conditioner's fan and minimize the reduction in the effective air intake area of ​​the fan, so as to ensure the fan's air volume and the air conditioner's cooling efficiency.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the water guiding structure mainly consists of a first water guiding plate 10, an air inlet 20, and multiple second water guiding plates 30.

[0025] The first water guide plate 10 is disposed on the outer periphery of the fan 40 and extends in an arc shape along the rotation direction of the fan 40. In this embodiment, the first water guide plate 10 is not a traditional complete annular structure, but only covers a portion of the rotation path of the fan 40. For example, its length can cover the 6 o'clock position to the 12 o'clock position in the rotation direction of the fan 40. This design meets the water guiding requirements while minimizing obstruction to airflow. At least one air inlet 20 is provided on the radially outer side of the first water guide plate 10. The main function of the air inlet 20 is to increase the air intake area. In some preferred embodiments, in order to better guide airflow, only one air inlet 20 may be provided on the radially outer side of the first water guide plate 10, and as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the air inlet 20 can be located in the front half of the rotation direction of the fan 40, that is, the air intake side of the window air conditioner casing.

[0026] Multiple second water guide plates 30 are spaced apart within the air inlet 20 and extend along the rotation direction of the fan 40. These second water guide plates 30 are configured to effectively guide droplets ejected by the fan 40 during rotation to a predetermined area, such as the chassis of a window air conditioner. Specifically, in this embodiment, the side of the second water guide plate 30 away from the fan 40 is designed to extend downwards, so that after the droplets ejected by the fan 40 during rotation impact the second water guide plate 30, they can ultimately follow the extending direction of the second water guide plate 30, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the water is guided to the chassis of the window air conditioner, thus preventing moisture from unexpectedly corroding the internal components and ensuring the reliability of the air conditioner. Furthermore, the air intake channel formed between two adjacent second water guide plates 30 not only prevents condensate from splashing but also provides a smooth path for airflow. This ensures sufficient airflow while maintaining the water guiding function, and fully utilizes the negative pressure zone on the back of the fan, effectively improving the air volume and cooling efficiency of the window air conditioner, achieving a dual optimization of water guiding function and increased airflow.

[0027] In some embodiments, such asFigure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the second water guide plate 30 has an arc-shaped structure, and the concave surface of this arc-shaped structure is opposite to the rotation direction of the fan 40. Specifically, when the fan 40 rotates clockwise, the concave surface of the arc-shaped second water guide plate 30 faces the counterclockwise direction. When the condensate droplets generated by the fan 40 rotate hit the arc-shaped second water guide plate 30, these droplets are guided along the arc surface, thereby more effectively being directed to the chassis area of ​​the window air conditioner and reducing splashing.

[0028] In some embodiments, the second water guide plate 30 is integrally formed with the first water guide plate 10. Integral forming means that the first water guide plate 10 and the second water guide plate 30 can be completed in one injection molding or other molding processes without additional assembly steps. This can reduce manufacturing costs and eliminate the risk of connection gaps or loosening caused by separate assembly, so that the first water guide plate 10 and the second water guide plate 30 form an integral structure, which improves the overall strength and stability of the structure and reduces the risk of failure due to loosening or falling off of components.

[0029] In some embodiments, the axial length of the first water guide plate 10 is greater than the axial length of the fan 40. When the fan 40 rotates at high speed or the wind force is strong, if the length of the first water guide plate 10 is insufficient, some droplets may directly pass over the top of the first water guide plate 10, thereby reducing the water guiding effect. However, when the axial length of the first water guide plate 10 is greater than the axial length of the fan 40, it can effectively prevent droplets from passing over the first water guide plate 10, so as to more effectively intercept condensate and confine it within a predetermined area to avoid splashing.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall surface of the first water guide plate 10 is an arc surface coaxially arranged with the rotation axis of the fan 40, and a predetermined gap is provided between the inner wall surface of the first water guide plate 10 and the outer edge of the fan 40. By using an arc surface, the collision and friction of airflow on the inner wall of the first water guide plate 10 are reduced, thereby reducing the noise during operation. Moreover, when condensate is thrown onto the inner wall surface, due to the guidance of the arc surface, the condensate is more likely to slide down the inner wall surface to the predetermined area, reducing the risk of condensate remaining on the first water guide plate 10.

[0031] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a window air conditioner, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the water guiding structure includes any embodiment of the first aspect, and a fan bracket 50. The fan bracket is provided with a plurality of connecting arms 60 extending radially along the first water guiding plate 10. The first water guiding plate 10 is connected to the fan bracket 50 via the connecting arms 60. In actual implementation, the first water guiding plate 10, the connecting arms 60, and the fan bracket 50 are integrally formed, ensuring that the water guiding structure remains stable and reliable during air conditioning operation, without loosening or deformation.

[0032] The water guide structure and the window air conditioner provided by the embodiment can effectively block the condensed water thrown out by the fan during rotation, accurately guide the condensed water to a predetermined area, avoid moisture erosion of internal components or other potential damage, greatly reduce the obstruction of the traditional annular first water guide plate to the fan inlet, ensure smooth air flow, increase the effective fan inlet area, thereby improving the air supply and the refrigeration efficiency, realize the dual optimization of water guide function and air volume improvement, enable the air conditioner to have reliable condensed water management capability, higher refrigeration efficiency and lower energy consumption, and finally bring better user experience and longer service life.
