[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The water receiving structure 600 provided by the embodiment of the present application is used for the air conditioner 1000. The water receiving structure 600 comprises a support 10, a water receiving assembly 30 and a locking piece 70. The support 10 comprises an insertion slot 12. The water receiving assembly 30 is arranged on the support 10, and the water receiving assembly 30 comprises a water receiving box 32 and a heating assembly 50. The water receiving box 32 is provided with a water receiving groove 323, and the heating assembly 50 is arranged outside the water receiving groove 323 and in contact with the water receiving box 32. The locking piece 70 locks the heating assembly 50 and the support 10. The water receiving assembly 30 is used to be assembled to the support 10 through the insertion slot 12.

[0058] In the water receiving structure 600, the water receiving assembly 30 can be assembled to the support 10 through the insertion slot 12, so that the water receiving assembly 30 can be conveniently positioned and assembled, and the heating assembly 50 and the support 10 can be locked by the locking piece 70, so that the fixing of the water receiving assembly 30 and the support 10 can be completed.

[0059] Optionally, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2In one embodiment, the air conditioner 1000 can be an air source heat pump air conditioner. The air conditioner 1000 includes a water-side heat exchanger 700, a condenser 750, a throttling device, and a compressor 800. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air when passing through the water-side heat exchanger 700, forms a high-temperature and high-pressure medium after the compressor 800, enters the condenser 750 to release heat, transmits heat to cold water, and then becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure medium through the throttling device for the next cycle. The cold water becomes hot water after exchanging with the high-temperature and high-pressure medium through the condenser 750 and is stored in a hot water tank or a hot water tank. The hot water is sent to the water point through the hot water pipeline.

[0060] In the related art, during the operation of the air conditioner, condensate water is formed on the surface of the condenser due to temperature differences. The air conditioner also includes a water receiving assembly for collecting and guiding the condensate water, ensuring that the condensate water can flow smoothly into the designated drainage system and eventually be discharged outdoors, thereby avoiding damage to the interior of the air conditioner or problems such as bacterial growth. However, in cold seasons or environments with extremely low outdoor temperatures, if the condensate water cannot be discharged in time, it may freeze inside the water receiving assembly, which not only blocks the drainage channel but also affects the overall performance and lifespan of the air conditioner. To solve this problem, many air conditioner designs incorporate a heating assembly to heat the condensate water inside the water receiving assembly to prevent it from freezing in low-temperature conditions, ensuring stable operation of the air conditioner in various climate conditions. Therefore, the air conditioner needs to ensure that the heating assembly is tightly connected to the water receiving assembly to achieve effective heat transfer, while maintaining the structural stability and safety, and to some extent, simplify the installation steps to meet the user's demand for installation convenience, thereby providing users with a more convenient and efficient use experience.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 The air conditioner 1000 includes a water receiving structure 600, and the bracket 10 is arranged around the water receiving structure 600 to support and fix the bracket 10.

The water receiving assembly 30 comprises a water receiving box 32 and a heating assembly 50. The water receiving box 32 is internally provided with a water receiving groove 323 for collecting and guiding the condensed water generated by the condenser 750 during operation. The heating assembly 50 is arranged outside the water receiving groove 323 and in contact with the water receiving box 32, and can be used to heat the condensed water collected in the water receiving groove 323 to prevent the condensed water from freezing in a low-temperature environment. During assembly, the heating assembly 50 is first assembled outside the water receiving groove 323 so that the heating assembly 50 is in contact with the water receiving box 32, and then the assembled water receiving assembly 30 is assembled to the bracket 10 through the insertion slot 12, so that the water receiving assembly 30 can be conveniently positioned and assembled, and the heating assembly 50 and the bracket 10 are locked by the locking member 70, so that the water receiving assembly 30 is fixedly connected with the bracket 10 and the hot water assembly is in close contact with the water receiving box 32 to achieve more effective heat transfer. Therefore, the installation steps of the water receiving assembly 30 can be simplified to a certain extent, and the anti-freezing effect of the air conditioner 1000 can be improved to a certain extent.

[0062] During disassembly, the locking member 70 is first operated to unlock the heating assembly 50 and the bracket 10, and then the water receiving assembly 30 can be withdrawn from the insertion slot 12 in the opposite direction of the assembly direction, so that the water receiving assembly 30 can be maintained and repaired.

[0068] The shape and size of the insertion slot 12 are matched with the shape and size of the water receiving assembly 30, so as to ensure that the water receiving assembly 30 can be stably assembled on the support 10 to a certain extent. The shape of the insertion slot 12 and the water receiving assembly 30 is not limited in the utility model.

[0069] In some embodiments, the locking piece 70 is fixedly connected with the heating assembly 50, and the locking piece 70 is connected with the support 10 in a form of interference fit.

[0070] In this way, the water receiving assembly 30 can be conveniently assembled, and the heating assembly 50 will not be displaced or loosened during the working process.

[0071] Optionally, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the locking piece 70 is located below the heating assembly 50. Optionally, the locking piece 70 comprises a fixed part 72, and the fixed part 72 is fixedly connected with the heating assembly 50 in a form of welding, screwing or the like. During assembly, the locking piece 70 and the heating assembly 50 are first assembled to the outside of the water receiving groove 323 so that the heating assembly 50 is in contact with the water receiving box 32, and then the assembled water receiving assembly 30 is assembled to the support 10 through the insertion slot 12, so that the locking piece 70 is connected with the support 10 in a form of interference fit, that is, the lower end of the locking piece 70 is lower than the lower end of the frame of the support 10, so that the water receiving assembly 30 can be conveniently positioned and assembled, and the heating assembly 50 and the support 10 are locked by the interference fit between the locking piece 70 and the support 10.

[0072] The frame structure of the support 10 comprises a second side plate 123 surrounding the insertion slot 12, and the water receiving box 32 extends with a side edge 325 at each end. The locking piece 70 makes the upper end of the side edge 325 in the direction of the insertion slot 12 abut against the lower end of the second side plate 123, and the water in the water receiving groove 323 cannot flow out from between the side edge 325 of the water receiving box 32 and the second side plate 123. Therefore, the water receiving assembly 30 can be fixedly connected with the support 10, and the installation steps of the water receiving assembly 30 can be simplified to a certain extent.

[0073] In some embodiments, the water receiving structure 600 includes a first side plate 121 surrounding the insertion slot 12 and away from the water receiving assembly 30, the first side plate 121 is provided with a clamping groove 121a, the locking member 70 includes a clamping portion 74, the clamping portion 74 is fixedly connected with the heating assembly 50, and the clamping portion 74 is connected with the clamping groove 121a in an interference fit to lock the heating member 54 and the bracket 10.

[0074] In this way, the water receiving assembly 30 can be conveniently positioned and assembled, so that the locking member 70 and the heating assembly 50 form effective support and fixation.

[0075] Specifically, please refer to Figure 7 The frame structure of the bracket 10 includes a first side plate 121 surrounding the insertion slot 12, the first side plate 121 is away from the water receiving assembly 30 and is provided with a clamping groove 121a, the insertion opening of the clamping groove 121a faces the interior of the water receiving structure 600. The clamping portion 74 of the locking member 70 is fixedly connected with the heating assembly 50, and during assembly, as the water receiving assembly 30 gradually enters the insertion slot 12, the clamping portion 74 abuts against the side wall of the clamping groove 121a, the clamping portion 74 is connected with the clamping groove 121a in an interference fit, that is, the lower end of the clamping portion 74 is lower than the first side plate 121, so that the water receiving assembly 30 can be conveniently positioned and assembled, and the heating assembly 50 and the bracket 10 are locked during assembly.

[0076] In Figure 5 , the interference fit between the clamping portion 74 and the clamping groove 121a can limit the water receiving assembly in the horizontal direction.

[0077] The frame structure of the bracket 10 includes a second side plate 123 surrounding the insertion slot 12, the water receiving box 32 has a side edge 325 extending from each end, the clamping portion 74 makes the upper end of the side edge 325 facing the direction of the insertion slot 12 abut against the lower end of the second side plate 123, and the water in the water receiving groove 323 cannot flow out between the side edge 325 of the water receiving box 32 and the second side plate 123. So that the locking member 70 and the heating assembly 50 form effective support and fixation.

[0078] In some embodiments, the locking member 70 includes an abutting portion 76 connected with the clamping portion 74, and the abutting portion 76 abuts against the side of the first side plate 121 facing the insertion slot 12.

[0079] In this way, the locking member 70 and the heating assembly 50 can form effective support and fixation, so that the heating assembly 50 and the bracket 10 are fixedly connected.

[0080] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5The abutting portion 76 is connected to the lower half of the clamping portion 74, extends along the side of the lower half of the clamping portion 74 towards the inside of the insertion slot 12, and abuts against the side of the first side plate 121 towards the insertion slot 12. During assembly, as the water receiving assembly 30 gradually enters the insertion slot 12, the abutting portion 76 of the locking member 70 and the first side plate 121 of the support 10 will move relative to each other until the clamping portion 74 abuts against the side wall of the clamping slot 121a to stop moving, thereby locking the heating assembly 50 and the support 10.

[0081] In Figure 5 , the abutting portion 76 abuts against the side of the first side plate 121 towards the insertion slot 12, which can limit the water receiving assembly 30 in the vertical direction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the locking member 70 includes a guiding portion 78 connected to one end of the abutting portion 76 away from the clamping portion 74, which is used to guide the first side plate 121 and the locking member 70 to abut against each other during assembly of the water receiving assembly 30 into the insertion slot 12.
