[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model more clear, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the utility model provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but only represents selected embodiments of the utility model.

[0024] In the description of the utility model, the terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the utility model, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1As shown in the figure, a condensate water pipe 30 exhaust device, comprising: air conditioning unit 10 and set below the air conditioning unit 10 condensate pan 20, the condensate pan 20 is connected with condensate water pipe 30, the condensate water pipe 30 includes a first connecting pipe 31, the first connecting pipe 31 top wall is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 312, the first connecting pipe 31 below is connected with a water trap 32, the water trap 32 is arc-shaped, the water trap 32 is provided with a second connecting pipe 33 away from the first connecting pipe 31 one end, the second connecting pipe 33 is used for drainage.

[0026] As a further improvement, the first connecting pipe 31 includes a first horizontal segment 311 connected with the condensate water pipe 30 on one side, the first horizontal segment 311 is connected with a first bending segment 313, the first bending segment 313 is connected with a first vertical segment 314 below, the first vertical segment 314 is connected with the water trap 32, the exhaust hole 312 is arranged on the top side wall of the first horizontal segment 311, which can make the condensate water flow smoothly to the condensate water pipe 30, and the exhaust hole 312 is arranged on the top wall of the first horizontal segment 311, which can more efficiently exhaust the excess gas, and the exhaust hole 312 is arranged on the first horizontal segment 311, which can facilitate processing, because the side wall of the elbow pipe is thicker, and it is difficult to fix the drill bit at the elbow pipe.

[0027] As a further improvement, the exhaust hole 312 is arranged in an equal interval array along the water flow direction of the first horizontal segment 311, the number of exhaust holes 312 is 3-5, the spacing of the exhaust hole 312 is 20-50 cm, and the size of the exhaust hole 312 is 2-5 mm. In this embodiment, the number of exhaust holes 312 is 3, the spacing of the exhaust hole 312 is 20 cm, and the size of the exhaust hole 312 is 2 mm. The number of exhaust holes 312 should not be too large, and the size of the exhaust hole 312 should not be too large. This is because the design of the water trap is calculated. If the number of exhaust holes 312 is too large and the size is too large, it may cause a large deviation in the static pressure of the unit, thereby affecting the calculation of the height of the water trap, resulting in an inaccurate water seal height, so that the water in the water trap does not completely cover the water trap, causing external odor backflow, thereby producing odor. The spacing of the exhaust hole 312 should not be too large, otherwise the exhaust rate may decrease, resulting in abnormal noise. Therefore, when the number of exhaust holes 312 is 3, the spacing of the exhaust hole 312 is 20 cm, and the size of the exhaust hole 312 is 2 mm, the exhaust effect of the exhaust hole 312 is better, and the calculation error of the water trap is prevented, resulting in poor water seal effect.

[0028] Reference Figure 1As shown, the second connecting pipe 33 includes a second bending section 331 connected with one end of the water trap 32, and a second horizontal section 332 connected with the second bending section 331, which has the advantages of scientific design, smoother water flow through the water trap 32, effective drainage, and is suitable for horizontal right-angle connection with the drainage horizontal pipe or the drainage vertical pipe, especially at the 90-degree corner on the wall surface.

[0029] As a further improvement, the height from the bottom of the water trap 32 to the top of the second horizontal section 332 is defined as L, and L=X+H2+1.5D, wherein X=1 / 2~2 / 3H2, H2 is the static pressure of the unit, usually plus 1 inch, that is, 25.4 mm, and D is the diameter of the water trap 32. In one embodiment, X=1 / 2H2, the static pressure H2 of the unit is 249 Pa, and the diameter D of the condensate pipe is 20 mm, so the total height L of the water trap 32 is calculated as 106.2 mm. However, in this embodiment, the exhaust hole 312 is designed on the first connecting pipe, which may cause the actual value of the static pressure H2 of the unit to be relatively small. Therefore, in this embodiment, X=1 / 2~2 / 3H2, which can well compensate for the static pressure H2 of the unit, so that the calculation result can meet the actual design requirements.

[0030] In this embodiment, the second connecting pipe 33 is connected with the drainage pipe below the sink 40, or the second connecting pipe 33 is inserted into the floor drain.

[0031] In one embodiment, a three-way pipe 41 is provided on the drainage pipe, and a one-way valve 42 is provided in the three-way pipe 41. The one-way valve 42 prevents backflow of water in the drainage pipe, and is used to guide the second connecting pipe 33 and the drainage pipe.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-3As shown, the tee pipe 41 is provided with a quick release joint 43 at the end connected with the second connecting pipe 33, the quick release joint 43 comprises a clamping part 431 arranged in front of the end of the tee pipe 41 connected with the second connecting pipe 33, the clamping part 431 is a tooth-shaped sheet 432 arranged in an annular array on the outer circle of the tee pipe 41, the outer side of the tee pipe 41 is provided with an external thread 433, the tee pipe 41 is sleeved with a corresponding abutting piece 44, the inner circle of the abutting piece 44 is provided with an internal thread 441 corresponding to the external thread 433, when the second connecting pipe 33 is arranged inside the tooth-shaped sheet 432, the tee pipe 41 and the abutting piece 44 are screwed, so that the abutting piece 44 tightens the tooth-shaped sheet 432 inward, and then the tooth-shaped sheet 432 abuts against the second connecting pipe 33, the quick release joint 43 can better detach the second connecting pipe 33 and the drain pipe, so that when the drain pipe is blocked, the second connecting pipe 33 can be detached and placed in the floor drain for drainage.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the present application have been described above, but the present application is not limited to the above. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
