[0025] To illustrate the possible application scenarios, technical principles, implementable specific solutions, and achievable objectives and effects of this application in detail, the following description, in conjunction with the listed specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, provides a detailed explanation. The embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this application and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the description of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] This application provides a drip tray and electrical equipment to solve the problem of condensate leaking into the electrical equipment. The following description is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a water receiving tray, including a tray body 1 and a drain component 2. The tray body 1 has a water receiving groove 11 for receiving condensate. The drain component 2 is disposed on one side of the tray body 1. The drain component 2 has a drain groove 21 and a drain hole 22. The drain groove 21 is connected to the water receiving groove 11, and the drain hole 22 is connected to the drain groove 21.

[0030] By installing a drain component 2 on one side of the pan body 1, the condensate needs to flow into the water receiving tank 11 first, then into the drain tank 21, and finally out of the water receiving pan through the drain hole 22. Since the drain component 2 is installed on the outside of the pan body 1, the condensate will flow to the outside of the electrical equipment before it is discharged from the water receiving pan, thus solving the problem of condensate leaking into the electrical equipment.

[0031] In this embodiment, the plate body 1 is arranged in a disc shape, the water receiving groove 11 is opened at one end of the plate body 1, the drain component 2 is integrally formed on the side of the plate body 1, the drain groove 21 is opened on the drain component 2, the opening of the drain groove 21 is arranged in the same direction as the opening of the water receiving groove 11, the drain hole 22 is opened at the bottom of the drain groove 21, the drain groove 21 is connected to the water receiving groove 11, and the drain hole 22 is connected to the drain groove 21, so that the condensate can flow from the water receiving groove 11 to the drain groove 21, and finally be discharged from the water receiving plate through the drain hole 22.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 A pipe connector 23 is fixedly connected to the drain fitting 2. One end of the pipe connector 23 passes through the drain hole 22, and the other end extends away from the opening of the drain trough 21. The pipe connector 23 is not only conducive to guiding the flow of condensate and reducing the splashing of condensate flowing out of the drip tray, but also conducive to connecting with external pipes, thereby guiding the condensate to a position that is easy to drain.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 The tray 1 has a first support member 3, a second support member 4, and a third support member 5 integrally formed on it, all of which are located at the bottom of the water receiving tank 11. The first support member 3 supports the motor bracket. A first positioning post 31 is integrally formed on the side of the first support member 3 away from the bottom of the water receiving tank 11. The first positioning post 31 is inserted into the motor bracket to position the motor bracket relative to the water receiving tray. A first screw hole 32 is provided on the side of the first support member 3 away from the bottom of the water receiving tank 11. By having a bolt pass through the motor bracket and threaded into the first screw hole 32, the motor bracket and the water receiving tray can be fixedly connected.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 The second support member 4 supports the compressor. The first support member 3 has a receiving groove 41 and a drain groove 42 on the side away from the bottom of the water receiving tank 11. The receiving groove 41 houses and fixes the compressor, and the drain groove 42 connects the receiving groove 41 and the water receiving tank 11, allowing condensate in the receiving groove 41 to drain out. Furthermore, multiple support ribs 43 are integrally formed on the tray 1, spaced apart at the bottom of the water receiving tank 11, and fixedly connected to the second support member 4. The support ribs 43 not only support the sound insulation cotton, reducing its sound insulation effect due to condensate wetting, but also guide the condensate to the drain member 2, accelerating the discharge of condensate from the water receiving tray.

[0035] Please see Figure 1The third support member 5 is used to support the heat exchanger. The third support member 5 includes a shielding strip 51, a fixing block 52, and multiple support blocks 53. In this embodiment, the shielding strip 51 is U-shaped, dividing the water receiving tank 11 into an outer, relatively dry receiving area and an inner drainage area for receiving condensate. Multiple support blocks 53 are spaced apart in the drainage area, and a clearance is formed between adjacent support blocks 53 to allow condensate from the heat exchanger to flow into the water receiving pan. In this embodiment, the edges of the shielding strip 51 are rounded to reduce damage to the heat exchanger when the shielding strip 51 comes into hard contact with the heat exchanger.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The fixing block 52 is located on the side of the shielding strip 51 away from the bearing block 53. The fixing block 52 has a second positioning post 521 and a second screw hole 522 that cooperate with the heat exchanger. A third screw hole 523 that cooperates with the heat exchanger is opened on the wall of the water receiving tank 11. The second positioning post 521, through its insertion into the heat exchanger, allows for the positioning of the heat exchanger relative to the water receiving tray. By having bolts pass through the heat exchanger and threaded into the second screw hole 522 or the third screw hole 523, a fixed connection between the heat exchanger and the water receiving tray can be achieved.

[0037] This application also provides an electrical device that includes a water tray as described above. Since this electrical device has the aforementioned water tray, it possesses at least some or all of the beneficial effects of the aforementioned water tray, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0038] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
