[0042] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of an integrated air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 5 This utility model provides an integrated air conditioner, including a mounting plate 100 and a heating device 200.

[0043] The mounting plate 100 includes an outdoor portion 101, which is located on the outside of the wall or window after the integrated air conditioner is installed on the wall or window. The outdoor portion 101 is provided with a first drain hole 110 that extends vertically through the wall or window.

[0044] The heating device 200 is strip-shaped and is arranged around the periphery of the first drain hole 110.

[0045] Integrated air conditioners can be wall-mounted or window-mounted. The components of an integrated air conditioner are relatively concentrated. The heat exchange devices, such as the evaporator, indoor fan, outdoor fan, and condenser, can all be mounted on the mounting plate 100 to enable the integrated air conditioner to perform heat exchange. In winter or low-temperature environments, ice formation on the outdoor section 101 can affect the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor system piping, and may even affect the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor system piping.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first drain hole 110 is located away from the indoor side of the mounting plate 100 to prevent condensate from flowing into the room after exiting the first drain hole 110 when the integrated air conditioner is installed and used. The heating device 200 is arranged around the drain hole to prevent freezing caused by excessively low temperatures around the first drain hole 110, allowing condensate to flow out through the first drain hole 110. This invention prevents freezing at the first drain hole 110 by using the heating device 200, ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor system piping of the integrated air conditioner, and also preventing condensate from flowing into the room due to blockage of the first drain hole 110. Furthermore, this invention solves the problem of the outdoor fan freezing due to condensate freezing, and also prevents friction between the outdoor fan and excessively thick ice layers during operation, thereby improving the user experience.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the first drainage hole 110 is connected to a drain pipe, so that the condensed water flowing out of the first drainage hole 110 flows into the drain pipe and is then directly discharged to the outside.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the drain pipe connected to the first drainage hole 110 is provided to guide the condensed water on the mounting plate 100 to the outside, which is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and reduces the production cost of the integrated air conditioner.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 3 The integrated air conditioner further comprises an outer casing 300, which is sleeved on the periphery of the mounting plate 100. The outer casing 300 comprises a bottom plate 320, which is located on the lower side of the mounting plate 100.

[0050] The mounting plate 100 comprises a connecting portion 120, and there is a distance between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320 in the vertical direction.

[0051] The heating device 200 is fixedly connected to the connecting portion 120 and is located between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the heating device 200 is arranged between the outer casing 300 and the mounting plate 100, which can simultaneously heat the outer casing 300 and the mounting plate 100, so that the outer casing 300 or the mounting plate 100 is less likely to freeze, and the flow of condensed water is more smooth, thereby avoiding the influence of freezing of the outer casing 300 or the mounting plate 100 on the heat exchange efficiency of the integrated air conditioner.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320 is between 8mm and 1.5mm.

[0054] In the present embodiment, the heating device 200 is fixed to the connecting portion 120 and is located at the upper end of the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300. When the distance between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320 is between 8mm and 1.5mm, the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300 has a certain supporting effect after the heating device 200 falls off from the connecting portion 120, and since the distance is small, the heating device 200 or the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300 will not be damaged due to impact when the heating device 200 falls to the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300.

[0055] Furthermore, the distance between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320 is between 8mm and 1.5mm, which facilitates the flow of condensed water between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320, and avoids the situation that the condensed water flows too slowly or is even hindered due to too small distance.

[0056] Preferably, the distance between the connecting portion 120 and the bottom plate 320 is 12.8 mm.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The upper and lower ends of the heating device 200 are in contact with the connecting portion 120 and the outer casing 300, respectively.

[0058] In the present embodiment, the heating device 200 can be fixedly connected to the connecting portion 120 in the form of adhesion, so that the heating device 200 can be prevented from falling off during installation. Moreover, after the heating device 200 is installed to the connecting portion 120, the lower part of the heating device 200 is supported by the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300, so that the heating device 200 can be prevented from falling off from the bottom of the mounting plate 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 3 The mounting plate 100 comprises a downwardly recessed drainage portion 130, the connecting portion 120 is located at the outer peripheral side of the drainage portion 130, and the first drain hole 110 is arranged on the drainage portion 130.

[0060] In the present embodiment, in the vertical direction, the upper surface of the drainage portion 130 is lower than the upper surface of the connecting portion 120, so as to promote the condensate water to flow towards the drainage portion 130, and then flow out of the mounting plate 100 through the first drain hole 110. Moreover, the lower drainage portion 130 can also function as a water storage, so as to reduce the situation that the condensate water flows to other components when the condensate water is excessive.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 The heating device 200 is spirally wound around the outer edge of the drainage portion 130 for at least two turns.

[0062] In the present embodiment, the heating device 200 is wound around the outer edge of the drainage portion 130, so that the upper end and the side end of the heating device 200 are in contact with the mounting plate 100, thereby increasing the connection area between the mounting plate 100 and the heating device 200, and making the connection between the heating device 200 and the mounting plate 100 more stable, and reducing the situation that the heating device 200 falls off.

[0063] Moreover, the heating device 200 is wound around the drainage portion 130 for multiple turns, so as to increase the heating area and further ensure the normal flow of the condensate water at the first drain hole 110.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the integrated air conditioner further comprises a water pump, and the water pumping end of the water pump is connected to the drainage portion 130, so as to pump out the water in the drainage portion 130.

[0065] In the embodiment, the water pump directly pumps out the water stored in the drainage part 130, further reduces the situation that the condensed water flows to other components when the condensed water is excessive, reduces the situation that the integrated air conditioner fails, and thus improves the quality of the integrated air conditioner.

[0066] In some embodiments of the utility model, the outer casing 300 is provided with a second drain hole 310 penetrating the outer casing 300, and the second drain hole 310 penetrates the bottom plate 320 in the vertical direction.

[0067] In some embodiments of the utility model, the outer casing 300 further comprises a side plate 330, and the side plate 330 is located on the left side or the right side of the mounting plate 100, and the second drain hole 310 penetrates the side plate 330 in the left-right direction.

[0068] In some embodiments of the utility model, as shown in Figure 2 the rear end of the bottom plate 320 is connected with an upwardly extending flange 340, and the second drain hole 310 penetrates the flange 340 in the front-rear direction.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the second drain hole 310 is used to drain water in the outer casing 300 to avoid excessive water in the outer casing 300.

[0070] In some embodiments of the utility model, the water flowing out of the first drain hole 110 directly flows onto the bottom plate 320, so that the first drain hole 110 does not need to be connected with an additional water guide device such as a drain pipe, simplifying the structure of the integrated air conditioner, and avoiding that the installation of the water guide device at the lower end of the connecting part 120 occupies the installation position of the heating device 200.

[0071] In some embodiments of the utility model, in the case where the second drain hole 310 penetrates the flange 340 in the front-rear direction, the lower edge of the second drain hole 310 is flush with the upper surface of the bottom plate 320. The front side of the bottom plate 320 is higher than the rear side.

[0072] In the embodiment, the rear side of the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300 is higher, that is, the water on the bottom plate 320 of the outer casing 300 flows out from the second drain hole 310 along the bottom plate 320, avoiding excessive water accumulation on the front side of the integrated air conditioner.

[0073] Alternatively, the distance between the lower edge of the second drain hole 310 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 320 is between 1mm and 5mm.

[0074] In the embodiment, when the distance between the lower edge of the second drain hole 310 and the upper surface of the bottom plate 320 is between 1mm and 5mm, it is convenient to punch holes on the flange 340, and it is also ensured that the condensed water flows out from the second drain hole 310 in time.

[0075] In some embodiments of the utility model, heating device 200 includes press machine exhaust pipe, press machine exhaust pipe is around setting in the circumferential side of first drain hole 110.

[0076] In this embodiment, the press machine exhaust pipe is a heat pipe, which has a high temperature. By winding the press machine exhaust pipe around the circumferential side of the first drain hole 110, the condensate water at the ice formation position of the first drain hole 110 can be prevented from freezing. Moreover, using the press machine exhaust pipe for heating avoids the need to add other heating devices 200 that consume energy, is more environmentally friendly, saves electricity, and improves user experience.

[0077] In some embodiments of the utility model, the all-in-one air conditioner further includes a temperature sensor fixedly connected to the mounting plate 100 for monitoring the temperature at the first drain hole 110. The temperature sensor is configured to control the heating device 200 to start when the temperature at the first drain hole 110 is detected to be lower than -5°C.

[0078] In this embodiment, the heating device 200 can automatically turn on and off according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, avoiding frequent user operations and improving user experience. It also saves power and avoids the situation where the heating device 200 is forgotten to turn off when the ambient temperature of the all-in-one air conditioner is high.

[0079] In some embodiments of the utility model, the heating device 200 includes an electric heat tracing band, which is connected to the mounting plate 100. The structure is simple, easy to produce and manufacture, and has a low cost.
