Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner water trays, and more particularly to an air conditioner water tray and an integrated air conditioner using the same. Background Technology

[0002] To collect and drain the condensate produced during operation, existing integrated air conditioners are generally equipped with a drip tray. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 The section from the front end of the evaporator to the drain outlet is directly connected to the external environment, and there is an assembly gap between the evaporator and the partition and water tray of the air conditioner. This fails to completely seal and isolate the air supply cavity of the integrated air conditioner from the external environment. As a result, the outside air is directly drawn back into the air supply cavity through the assembly gap due to the negative pressure of the air supply cavity. This causes condensate to splash onto the outside of the water tray, resulting in water splashing or condensation problems in the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-7 This utility model provides an air conditioner water receiving tray, including a water receiving tray body 1, an evaporator support plate 2 and a first baffle plate 3; the water receiving tray body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity, and the evaporator support plate 2 is disposed in the receiving cavity;

[0035] One end of the first baffle plate 3 is located near the drain end of the water receiving tray body 1, and the other end of the first baffle plate 3 is located on the evaporator support plate 2.

[0036] The evaporator support plate 2 and the first baffle plate 3 divide the accommodating cavity into a drain cavity 101 and a placement cavity 102. The drain cavity 101 is located below the placement cavity 102, and the placement cavity 102 is used to place the evaporator 8. The evaporator support plate 2 is provided with drain holes 20 at intervals, and the drain cavity 101 and the placement cavity 102 are connected through the drain holes 20. The drain end of the water receiving tray body 1 is provided with a drain pipe 103, and the drain pipe 103 is connected to the drain cavity 101.

[0037] The air conditioner drip tray is installed in the integrated air conditioner, and the evaporator 8 in the integrated air conditioner is placed on the air conditioner drip tray. The air conditioner drip tray is used to collect and drain the condensate generated during the operation of the air conditioner, preventing water accumulation and mold growth inside the outdoor unit.

[0038] The air conditioner's drip tray is equipped with an evaporator support plate 2 and a first baffle plate 3. The evaporator support plate 2 supports the evaporator 8, and the evaporator support plate 2 and the first baffle plate 3 are connected together, dividing the receiving cavity into a drain cavity 101 and a placement cavity 102. The evaporator 8 is placed in the placement cavity 102, and the evaporator support plate 2 is provided with drain holes 20 at intervals. The condensate generated by the evaporator 8 during operation enters the drain cavity 101 through the drain holes 20, and is then discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 103.

[0039] The air conditioner's drip tray, through the cooperation of the evaporator support plate 2 and the first baffle plate 3, forms a flow channel for the evaporator condensate. The first baffle plate 3 blocks the flow between the receiving cavity of the drip tray body 1 and the evaporator 8, reducing the assembly gap and preventing outside air from being directly drawn back into the air supply cavity of the air conditioner's drip tray due to the negative pressure of the air supply cavity. This avoids the problem of condensate splashing onto the outside of the drip tray. At the same time, it reduces the possibility of high-humidity outside air entering the low-temperature air supply area through the assembly gap between the receiving cavity and the evaporator 8, thereby reducing the problem of condensation forming on the air conditioner's drip tray.

[0040] Specifically, the first baffle plate 3 includes a connecting part 31, an inclined part 32, a horizontal part 33 and a pressing part 34 connected in sequence;

[0041] The connecting part 31, the inclined part 32, the horizontal part 33 and the abutting part 34 are integrally formed; the connecting part 31 is detachably connected to the evaporator support plate 2; the inclined part 32 is inclined upward, the horizontal part 33 is horizontal, and the abutting part 34 abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity near the drain pipe 103.

[0042] The connecting part 31 is used to connect with the evaporator support plate 2, while the inclined part 32 and the horizontal part 33 serve to connect the abutting part 34 and the connecting part 31, making the transition between the horizontal part 33 and the connecting part 31 smoother and improving the stability of the first baffle plate 3. Moreover, when some condensate falls into the inclined part 32, it can be guided to the drain hole 20.

[0043] Optionally, the tilt angle of the inclined portion 32 is 30 to 60°. With this structure, condensate can be better guided to the drain hole 20, reducing the likelihood of condensate splashing onto the outside of the drip tray.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting part 31 is provided with a fixing through hole, the evaporator support plate 2 is provided with a connecting through hole, and a fastener 311 is provided between the connecting part 31 and the evaporator support plate 2. The fastener 311 passes through the fixing through hole and the connecting through hole in sequence and realizes bolt connection.

[0045] In one specific embodiment of this utility model, the fastener 311 is specifically a bolt, and the evaporator support plate 2 and the connecting part 31 are detachably connected through a fixing through hole, a connecting through hole, and the fastener 311. The above structure is simple, convenient for installation or disassembly, and facilitates subsequent maintenance.

[0046] Specifically, the evaporator support plate 2 has a drainage notch 21 on one side, which connects the drainage chamber 101 and the placement chamber 102.

[0047] With the above structure, the drainage notch 21 can further increase the speed at which condensate enters the drainage chamber 101, avoiding the problem that condensate will splash onto the outside of the water receiving tray due to gas flow because it stays in the placement chamber 102 for a long time.

[0048] Furthermore, it also includes a second baffle plate 4, which is disposed on the same side as the drainage notch 21 and is located near the drainage end of the water receiving pan body 1; the second baffle plate 4 is used to block the assembly gap between the air conditioner water receiving pan and the evaporator 8.

[0049] With the above structure, the second baffle plate 4 is installed on the evaporator support plate 2, located at the connection between the water receiving pan body 1 and the evaporator 8. In the prior art, baffles are provided on both sides of the evaporator 8. Due to the different dimensions of the evaporator 8 and the receiving cavity, the width of the evaporator 8 is smaller than the width of the receiving cavity, forming an assembly gap between the inner wall of the receiving cavity, the baffle plate, and the evaporator 8. The second baffle plate 4 can block the assembly gap between the inner wall of the receiving cavity, the side wall of the baffle plate, and the evaporator 8, preventing water splashing and condensation problems caused by this gap.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes a third baffle plate 5, which is located behind the second baffle plate 4; the third baffle plate 5 is inclinedly disposed on the side wall of the placement cavity 102, and the third baffle plate 5 is located above the drainage gap 21.

[0051] The rear side of the second baffle plate 4 is close to the air supply cavity, and the third baffle plate 5 is located above the drain notch 21. Condensate can easily splash out of the drain notch 21 in this area due to airflow. With the above structure, the drain notch 21 and the air supply cavity can be blocked, avoiding the problem of condensate splashing out of the drain notch 21.

[0052] Specifically, the water receiving tray body 1 includes an X-direction tray 11, a Y-direction tray 12, and a transition tray 13 connected in sequence; the X-direction tray 11 is arranged along the X direction, the Y-direction tray 12 is arranged along the Y direction, one end of the transition tray 13 is connected to the X-direction tray 11, and the other end of the transition tray 13 is connected to the Y-direction tray 12, making the water receiving tray body 1 L-shaped; the shape of the receiving cavity is adapted to the shape of the water receiving tray body 1, and the shape of the evaporator support plate 2 is adapted to the shape of the receiving cavity;

[0053] The drain pipe 103 is disposed on the X-direction disc 11, and one end of the first baffle plate 3 is disposed on the X-direction disc 11.

[0054] By adopting the above structure, the drip tray body 1 can be better adapted to the shape of the evaporator 8, thereby reducing the bottom area of ​​the drip tray body 1, making the overall design of the air conditioner drip tray more compact, reducing the empty space inside the air conditioner, and saving space. Moreover, it optimizes the drainage effect, achieving a smoother water flow discharge, thereby avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the drip tray body 1.

[0055] This utility model also provides an integrated air conditioner, which is provided with the above-mentioned air conditioner water receiving tray.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In practical applications, the drain pan of the air conditioner is equipped with a first mounting plate 81 and a second mounting plate 82 on both sides. The second baffle plate 4 can block the inner wall of the receiving cavity and the assembly gap between the first mounting plate 81 and the evaporator 8, preventing water splashing and condensation caused by this gap. At the same time, the third baffle plate 5 can block the area between the drain notch 21 and the air supply cavity where water splashing is likely to occur, preventing condensate from splashing out of the drain notch 21.

[0057] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
