Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioning unit and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, air conditioners are becoming increasingly common. Common household air conditioners typically include wall-mounted units and floor-standing units. For floor-standing units, condensation can form on their surfaces during operation due to the cooling / heating effect on the air ducts.

[0003] Existing air conditioning units typically have a water inlet hole in the drip tray located at the bottom of the air duct, which guides the condensate into the water collection tank. Because the water inlet hole is located on one side of the drip tray, the condensate takes some time to flow to the water inlet hole after falling into the drip tray. This not only results in low water diversion efficiency, but also may cause splashing due to excessive water accumulation in the drip tray, generating noise. Utility Model Content

[0004] The first objective of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner cabinet unit to solve the technical problem that the condensation in existing air conditioner cabinet units takes a certain amount of time to flow to the water inlet after falling into the water tray, resulting in low water inlet efficiency.

[0005] The air conditioner cabinet unit provided by this utility model includes an air duct device and a water receiving structure. The air duct device includes an air duct plate forming an air duct cavity. The air duct plate is supported on the water receiving structure. The lower end of the air duct plate is provided with a guide port that penetrates the air duct plate. The water receiving structure includes a water collection trough located on the back of the air duct plate. The water collection trough is connected to the guide port.

[0006] With the above settings, when the air duct plate of the air conditioning unit produces condensation due to the cooling / heating effect during operation, the condensation will flow down the air duct plate to the water collection structure, and be guided to the water collection tank on the back of the air duct plate through the guide port set at the lower end of the air duct plate, where it will be collected.

[0007] This demonstrates that the air conditioner unit allows condensation to flow to the water collection tank immediately, resulting in high water diversion efficiency and effectively improving the water accumulation problem. It also reduces noise while preventing condensation from splashing out.

[0008] Furthermore, the water-receiving structure also includes a water-receiving transverse wall, on which the air duct plate is supported; the lower edge of the air duct plate is provided with a notch, which connects with the water-receiving transverse wall to form the guide port. This arrangement ensures that the guide port is located at the bottom of the air duct plate, and there is no height difference between the lower edge of the guide port and the water-receiving transverse wall. Even if condensation drips onto the water-receiving transverse wall, it can be smoothly guided to the water collection tank, effectively preventing the accumulation of condensation on the water-receiving transverse wall.

[0009] Furthermore, the shape of the flow guide is rectangular. By setting the shape of the flow guide to rectangle, the flow guiding area of ​​the flow guide can be increased, thereby further improving the water diversion efficiency of the air conditioner unit.

[0010] Furthermore, there are multiple guide ports, which are arranged at intervals along the left and right directions. This arrangement allows condensation in the left and right halves of the duct plate to be guided to the water collection tank simultaneously. On the one hand, it avoids the accumulation of condensation on one side of the duct plate, improving water diversion efficiency; on the other hand, it also ensures the uniformity of water diversion.

[0011] Furthermore, the edge of the notch is provided with a flange extending toward the back of the air duct plate. This feature increases the structural strength of the air duct plate at the notch location and plays a positive role in suppressing deformation of the air duct plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the water-receiving transverse wall includes a first edge located in front of the air duct plate and a second edge located behind the air duct plate. The second edge bends downward to form a guide rib, which extends toward the interior of the water collection tank. This arrangement allows the guide rib to guide the condensate as it flows through the guide port toward the water collection tank on the back of the air duct plate, ensuring that the condensate smoothly enters the water collection tank.

[0013] Furthermore, the guide rib includes an inclined guide section and a vertical guide section. The inclined guide section is located between the water-receiving horizontal wall and the vertical guide section, extending downwards from front to back. The vertical guide section forms an obtuse angle with the inclined guide section. This arrangement of the guide rib creates a bridge between the water-receiving horizontal wall and the water collection tank, guiding the flow of condensation and ensuring reliable collection of condensation by the water collection tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the first edge bends upward to form a water-blocking rib. This can block condensation at the front of the water-receiving horizontal wall, preventing condensation dripping onto the water-receiving horizontal wall from dripping from the front.

[0015] Furthermore, the water collection tank includes a bottom wall and a side wall located near the receiving transverse wall, the side wall extending downwards from front to back. This design allows the inclined side wall to collect the condensate as it flows along the guide ribs into the water collection tank, enabling the condensate to gradually flow towards the bottom wall, effectively preventing splashing and noise caused by condensate dripping vertically onto the bottom wall.

[0016] Furthermore, the lower surface of the water-receiving horizontal wall is also provided with a downwardly extending water-blocking vertical wall, the direction of which is along the left-right direction. The upper edge of the trough sidewall bends forward to form the water-blocking horizontal wall, and the water-blocking horizontal wall abuts against the back of the water-blocking vertical wall. This arrangement can form a labyrinth seal structure between the second edge of the water-receiving horizontal wall and the upper edge of the trough sidewall, so that the condensate flowing out through the guide port will not splash out through the upper edge of the trough sidewall after flowing to the lower edge of the guide rib, thus ensuring the reliability of water collection and reducing the pollution caused to the inside of the cabinet.

[0017] The second objective of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner that solves the technical problem that the condensation in existing air conditioner cabinet units takes a certain amount of time to flow to the water inlet after falling into the water tray, resulting in low water inlet efficiency.

[0018] The air conditioner provided by this utility model includes an outdoor unit and the aforementioned air conditioning cabinet unit, wherein the outdoor unit and the air conditioning cabinet unit are connected by a refrigerant pipeline.

[0019] By installing the aforementioned air conditioning unit in the air conditioner, the air conditioner will have all the advantages of the aforementioned air conditioning unit, which will not be elaborated here. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0033] Figure 1 This is one of the partial structural schematic diagrams of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment; Figure 2 This is a partial structural front view of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment; Figure 3 This is the second partial structural schematic diagram of the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment. (See attached diagram.) Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides an air conditioner cabinet unit.

[0034] Figure 4 This is a partial longitudinal section diagram of the air conditioner cabinet unit provided in this embodiment; Figure 5 for Figure 4 A magnified view of the local structure at point A in the middle. (See image below.) Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner cabinet unit includes an air duct device 100 and a water receiving structure 200. Specifically, the air duct device 100 includes an air duct plate 110 forming an air duct cavity 111, the air duct plate 110 is supported on the water receiving structure 200, and a guide port 120 penetrating the air duct plate 110 is provided at the lower end of the air duct plate 110; the water receiving structure 200 includes a water collection tank 210 located on the back of the air duct plate 110, and the water collection tank 210 is connected to the guide port 120.

[0035] With the above settings, when the air duct plate 110 of the air duct device 100 generates condensation due to the cooling / heating effect during the operation of the air conditioner cabinet unit, the condensation will flow down the air duct plate 110 to the water collection structure 200, and be guided to the water collection tank 210 on the back of the air duct plate 110 through the guide port 120 provided at the lower end of the air duct plate 110, where it will be collected.

[0036] It is evident that this air conditioner unit allows condensation to flow to the water collection tank 210 immediately, resulting in high water diversion efficiency and effectively improving the water accumulation problem. It also reduces noise while preventing condensation from splashing out.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the water receiving structure 200 may further include a water receiving transverse wall 220. Specifically, the air duct plate 110 is supported on the water receiving transverse wall 220; the lower edge of the air duct plate 110 is provided with a notch, which connects with the water receiving transverse wall 220 to form the aforementioned guide port 120.

[0038] This design, which utilizes the notch at the lower edge of the duct plate 110 to connect with the water receiving transverse wall 220 to form a guide port 120, ensures that the guide port 120 is located at the bottom of the duct plate 110. There is no height difference between the lower edge of the guide port 120 and the water receiving transverse wall 220. Even if condensation drips onto the water receiving transverse wall 220, it can be smoothly guided to the water collection tank 210, effectively preventing the accumulation of condensation on the water receiving transverse wall 220.

[0039] Figure 6 This is an exploded view of the air conditioner unit provided in this embodiment; Figure 7 for Figure 6 A magnified view of the local structure at point B. Please continue referring to point 2, and combine it with... Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the guide port 120 is rectangular in shape.

[0040] By setting the shape of the flow guide 120 to a rectangle, the flow guide area of ​​the flow guide 120 can be increased, thereby further improving the water diversion efficiency of the air conditioner cabinet unit in this embodiment.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, there are two flow guide ports 120, which are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions.

[0042] The above-mentioned arrangement of the guide port 120 allows the condensation in the left and right halves of the air duct plate 110 to be guided to the water collection tank 210 simultaneously. On the one hand, it avoids the accumulation of condensation on one side of the air duct plate 110 and improves the water diversion efficiency. On the other hand, it also ensures the uniformity of water diversion.

[0043] In addition, by setting the number of guide ports 120 to two, the processing cost of the air duct plate 110 can be reduced while ensuring water diversion efficiency and water diversion uniformity.

[0044] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the number of guide ports 120 can also be set to other numbers, such as three or four.

[0045] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the edge of the notch at the lower edge of the air duct plate 110 is provided with a flange 130 extending toward the back of the air duct plate 110.

[0046] By setting the aforementioned flange 130 along the edge of the notch, the structural strength of the air duct plate 110 at the notch location can be increased, which plays a positive role in suppressing the deformation of the air duct plate 110.

[0047] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the water receiving horizontal wall 220 includes a first edge located in front of the air duct plate 110 and a second edge located behind the air duct plate 110, wherein the second edge is bent downward to form a guide rib 230, and the guide rib 230 extends toward the interior of the water collection tank 210.

[0048] By forming a guide rib 230 extending into the water collection tank 210 along the second edge of the water receiving horizontal wall 220, the guide rib 230 can guide the condensate as it flows through the guide port 120 toward the water collection tank 210 on the back of the air duct plate 110, so as to ensure that the condensate smoothly enters the water collection tank 210.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the guide rib 230 may include an inclined guide section 231 and a vertical guide section 232. The inclined guide section 231 is located between the water receiving horizontal wall 220 and the vertical guide section 232. The inclined guide section 231 extends downward from front to back at an obtuse angle to the vertical guide section 232.

[0050] By setting an inclined guide section 231 in the guide rib 230 that is directly connected to the water receiving transverse wall 220, the condensate will first pass through the inclined guide section 231 when it flows from the guide port 120 to the back of the air duct plate 110. The inclined guide section 231 guides the condensate towards the water collection tank 210. When the condensate flows along the inclined guide section 231 to its lower edge, it will further enter the water collection tank 210 along the vertical guide section 232.

[0051] The aforementioned arrangement of the guide ribs 230 forms a bridge between the water receiving transverse wall 220 and the water collection tank 210 to guide the flow of condensation, thereby ensuring the reliable collection of condensation by the water collection tank 210.

[0052] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first edge is bent upward to form a water-blocking rib 240.

[0053] By forming an upwardly bent water-blocking rib 240 along the first edge of the water-receiving horizontal wall 220, condensation can be blocked at the front of the water-receiving horizontal wall 220, preventing condensation dripping onto the water-receiving horizontal wall 220 from dripping from the front.

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the water collection tank 210 may include a bottom wall 211 and a side wall 212 disposed near the water receiving transverse wall 220, wherein the side wall 212 extends downward from front to back.

[0055] With the above-mentioned configuration, the water collection tank 210 can receive the condensate by using the inclined side wall 212 as the condensate flows along the guide rib 230 into the water collection tank 210. This allows the condensate to gradually flow along the side wall 212 towards the bottom wall 211, effectively avoiding splashing and noise caused by the condensate dripping vertically directly onto the bottom wall 211.

[0056] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the lower surface of the water receiving horizontal wall 220 is also provided with a downwardly extending water-blocking vertical wall 250. Specifically, the water-blocking vertical wall 250 is oriented in the left-right direction, and the upper edge of the channel side wall 212 bends forward to form a water-blocking horizontal wall 260, which abuts against the back of the water-blocking vertical wall 250.

[0057] With the above settings, a labyrinth seal structure can be formed between the second edge of the water receiving horizontal wall 220 and the upper edge of the tank side wall 212, so that the condensation flowing out of the guide port 120 will not splash out through the upper edge of the tank side wall 212 after flowing to the lower edge of the guide rib 230, thus ensuring the reliability of water collection and reducing the pollution caused to the inside of the cabinet.

[0058] It should be noted that, generally speaking, one side of the air conditioner unit is the side facing the indoor space or the user's activity area; this side is the front of the air conditioner unit. The side facing a corner or a wall is the rear side. When the user is facing the air conditioner unit, the user's left side is the left side of the air conditioner unit, and the user's right side is the right side of the air conditioner unit. Specifically, in this embodiment, the up-down, front-back, and left-right directions are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown by the arrow in the image.

[0059] In addition, this embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including an outdoor unit and the aforementioned air conditioning cabinet unit, wherein the outdoor unit and the air conditioning cabinet unit are connected by refrigerant pipes.

[0060] By installing the aforementioned air conditioning unit in the air conditioner, the air conditioner will have all the advantages of the aforementioned air conditioning unit, which will not be elaborated here.
