DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as a limitation of the present application.

[0027] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with Figures 1-5 The water receiving tray according to the embodiments of the present application is described below.

[0028] The water receiving tray according to the embodiments of the present application is described below.

[0029] The water receiving tray according to the embodiments of the present application is described below.

[0030] It should be noted that the first side plate 1, the second side plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 all extend along the length direction of the disc body 100, and the disc body 100 is further provided with baffle plates at both ends to close both ends of the first water receiving groove 5, and the bottom plate 3 is provided with a drain hole at one end in the length direction, so that the condensed water received in the first water receiving groove 5 can be discharged to the outside of the air conditioner through the drain hole.

[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are both provided with ventilation holes 11, and the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are both provided with stoppers 4 on two opposite sides, and the two stoppers 4 are arranged in the width direction of the disc body 100.

[0032] Therefore, the total area of the ventilation holes 11 on the disc body 100 is larger, the distribution range is wider, the air flow loss of the incoming air flow passing through the disc body 100 is smaller, and more incoming air flow can pass through the ventilation holes 11 to exchange heat with the lowermost end of the evaporator, further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator, and the air conditioner has higher refrigeration and heating efficiency. And by arranging the two stoppers 4 in the width direction of the disc body 100, it is ensured that the condensed water on the evaporator can directly drip into the first water receiving groove 5.

[0033] Specifically, the stopper 4 can be a horizontal plate structure, or a inclined plate structure, or an angled folded line plate structure (such as an L-shaped plate).

[0034] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , the spacing between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 in the width direction of the disc body 100 gradually increases from bottom to top, the inner surface of the first water receiving groove 5 includes a first inclined surface 51 formed on the first side plate 1 and a second inclined surface 52 formed on the second side plate 2, and the first inclined surface 51 and the second inclined surface 52 are both at an angle N1 with the horizontal plane, wherein 100°≤N1≤150°.

[0035] That is, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are both inclined plates that extend in a direction away from each other from bottom to top, in other words, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are outwardly inclined relative to the base, thereby the distance between the upper edges of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 is larger when the height dimension of the disc body 100 is constant, thereby the water receiving area of the disc body 100 is larger, ensuring its water receiving reliability. At the same time, this setting also ensures that the incoming air flow can directly impact the outer side of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 to exchange heat with the lower end of the evaporator through the ventilation holes 11 more quickly.

[0036] Specifically, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are mirror-symmetrically arranged and are both inclined plates. The angle N1 between each of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 and the horizontal plane can be 100°, 125° and 150°.

[0037] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 Each of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 has multiple ventilation holes 11 arranged along the length direction of the disc body 100, and the size of any ventilation hole 11 in the length direction of the disc body 100 is L1, where 55mm≤L1≤65mm.

[0038] The ventilation hole 11 with the size has a larger ventilation area, so as to better improve the smoothness of the incoming airflow passing through the ventilation hole 11, better reduce the air volume consumption of the incoming airflow, and make the air conditioner have higher refrigeration and heating efficiency.

[0039] Specifically, the ventilation hole 11 penetrates the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 along the width direction of the disc body 100, the ventilation hole 11 is a rectangular hole, and the length L1 of the ventilation hole 11 can be 55mm, 60mm or 65mm. The ratio of the distance between the upper and lower outer edges of the part above the ventilation hole 11 in the first side plate 1, the distance between the upper and lower outer edges of the ventilation hole 11, and the distance between the upper and lower outer edges of the part below the ventilation hole 11 in the first side plate 1 can be 5:3:3. This setting ensures that the ventilation hole 11 has sufficient ventilation area, and at the same time ensures that the first water collecting groove 5 has sufficient depth, thereby having reliable water collecting function.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The bottom plate 3 is provided with a drainage hole communicating with the first water collecting groove 5 at one end in the length direction, the top surface of the bottom plate 3 is inclined downward towards the drainage hole, and the top surface of the bottom plate 3 forms an angle N2 with the horizontal plane, where 5°≤N2≤25°.

[0041] This setting effectively ensures that the condensed water falling into the first water collecting groove 5 can accumulate at the drainage hole under the guidance of the top surface of the bottom plate 3, so as to facilitate the rapid discharge of the condensed water outside. At the same time, it also effectively avoids the excessive accumulation of the condensed water in the first water collecting groove 5 from exposing to the indoor through the ventilation hole 11 to affect the user experience.

[0042] Specifically, the bottom surface of the bottom plate 3 is a horizontal plane, and the angle N2 between the top surface and the bottom surface of the bottom plate 3 can be 5°, 10°, 15°, 20° or 25°.

[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first side plate 1 and the stopper 4 arranged on the first side plate 1 surround the second water collecting groove 6 with the upward forming opening, and the second side plate 2 and the stopper 4 arranged on the second side plate 2 surround the third water collecting groove 7 with the upward forming opening.

[0044] That is, the stopper 4 can not only prevent the condensed water from directly falling through the ventilation hole 11 to the indoor, but also form the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 with the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, so that the pan body 100 has a larger water receiving capacity.

[0045] Specifically, the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 are mirror-symmetrically arranged, and the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 can be V-shaped grooves or U-shaped grooves.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The bottom of the stopper 4 is provided with a water leakage hole 41, which effectively ensures that the condensed water falling into the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 is quickly discharged to the first water receiving groove 5 through the water leakage hole 41, and then discharged to the outdoor, effectively avoiding the deterioration of the condensed water in the air conditioner for a long time to affect the cleanliness and hygiene of the water receiving pan.

[0047] Specifically, when the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 are U-shaped grooves, the water leakage hole 41 is arranged on the bottom surface of the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7.

[0048] Alternatively, the highest position of the stopper 4 is lower than the highest position of each of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, and the highest position of the stopper 4 is located directly above the first water receiving groove 5. When the condensed water in the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 accumulates to a certain amount, it can flow to the first water receiving groove 5 from the uppermost edge of the stopper 4, and the condensed water on it can also be prevented from overflowing to the indoor to affect the user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 are mirror-symmetrically arranged relative to a first reference surface perpendicular to the width direction of the pan body 100. The inner surface of the second water receiving groove 6 includes a third inclined surface 61 and a fourth inclined surface 62 opposite to each other in the width direction of the pan body 100, and the third inclined surface 61 and the fourth inclined surface 62 are respectively formed on the first side plate 1 and the stopper 4. The third inclined surface 61 and the horizontal surface form an angle N3, and the fourth inclined surface 62 and the horizontal surface form an angle N4, wherein 105°≤N3≤140°, and / or 95°≤N4≤125°.

[0050] The arrangement includes that when the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7 have a large enough maximum width, the bottom width of the two can be designed to be smaller. When the condensed water falls into the second water receiving groove 6 and the third water receiving groove 7, the probability of liquid splashing caused by the condensed water directly falling on the bottom of the two can be effectively reduced.

[0051] Specifically, the bottom surfaces of the second water receiving tank 6 and the third water receiving tank 7 are both horizontal planes, the angle N3 between the third inclined plane 61 and the horizontal plane can be 105°, 125° and 140°, and the angle N4 between the fourth inclined plane 62 and the horizontal plane can be 95°, 110° and 125°.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper edge of the ventilation hole 11 is at the same height as the lower edge of the stop 4. The minimum distance between the two opposite sides of the first side plate 1 and the stop 4 on the first side plate 1 in the width direction of the disk body 100 is L2. The minimum distance between the two opposite sides of the second side plate 2 and the stop 4 on the second side plate 2 in the width direction of the disk body 100 is L3. The width of the bottom plate 3 is L4. Wherein, L2=L3, 0.25*L4≤L2≤0.34*L4.

[0053] This design makes it less likely that the airflow will be blocked by the stop 4 as it passes through the vent 11 and continue to blow towards the evaporator, resulting in lower airflow loss as the airflow passes through the disc body 100.

[0054] Specifically, L2 and L3 can be 0.25 times, 0.3 times, and 0.34 times that of L4, respectively.
