[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an outdoor unit for HVAC includes an outdoor unit body 1, a drain pipe 2, a suspension 3, and a water collection bottle 4.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outdoor unit 1 is mounted on the exterior wall, and the drain pipe 2 is connected to the bottom of the outdoor unit 1. The suspension 3 is vertically mounted on the side wall of the outdoor unit 1, and the water collection bottle 4 is detachably connected to the lower end of the suspension 3. The water collection bottle 4 is provided with an insertion hole 41 for inserting the lower end of the drain pipe 2, and a sponge plug 42 surrounding the drain pipe 2 is provided in the insertion hole 41.

[0026] When the external unit is working, the drain pipe 2 discharges condensate water, which drips into the water collection bottle 4 and accumulates there. Because the connection between the water collection bottle 4 and the drain pipe 2 has a sponge plug 42, it ensures both ventilation of the water collection bottle 4 and prevents external dust from accumulating at the drain pipe 2 port, thus preventing blockage.

[0027] When a large amount of condensate accumulates in the water collection bottle 4, the water collection bottle 4 can be disassembled and then inverted so that the condensate in the water collection bottle 4 can flow out along the hole 41. The collected condensate can then be used to water the flowers, realizing the recycling and reuse of water resources and reducing water waste.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the suspension 3 is provided with a through hole 31 through which the water supply and drainage pipes 2 pass, and a limiting ring 32 located below the through hole 31 through which the water supply and drainage pipes 2 pass is provided on the side wall. When the drainage pipe 2 is installed, after the drainage pipe 2 passes through the through hole 31, the drainage pipe 2 is controlled to bend downward and pass through the limiting ring 32 to fix the drainage pipe 2 and increase the stability of the drainage pipe 2 when draining water.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the water collecting bottle 4 is provided with a dovetail block 43, and the suspension 3 is provided with a groove 33 for the dovetail block 43 to be inserted and a dovetail groove 34 connecting the lower end of the groove 33 and allowing the dovetail block 43 to slide into it. The outer wall of the dovetail block 43 is provided with a protrusion 44, and the inner wall of the dovetail groove 34 is provided with a concave hole 35 for the protrusion 44 to be inserted.

[0030] When installing the water collecting bottle 4, the dovetail block 43 on the water collecting bottle 4 is inserted into the groove 33, and then the water collecting bottle 4 is controlled to move downward, so that the dovetail block 43 slides and inserts into the dovetail groove 34, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​fixation of the water collecting bottle 4. At the same time, the protrusion 44 on the dovetail block 43 is inserted into the concave hole 35 in the dovetail groove 34, thereby achieving the snap-fit ​​fixation of the dovetail block 43, thus achieving the stable installation of the water collecting bottle 4.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a support plate 5 is horizontally installed at the lower end of the suspension 3 to support the water collection bottle 4 and increase its stability. A magnet 51 is installed on the support plate 5 to attract the lower end of the water collection bottle 4, further securing the bottle and preventing it from falling.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a sponge block 45 is provided inside the water collection bottle 4, and a squeezing mechanism 6 for squeezing the sponge block 45 is provided inside the water collection bottle 4.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the squeezing mechanism 6 includes a squeezing plate 61, a drive rod 62, and a handle 63. The squeezing plate 61 is located below the sponge block 45 and is vertically slidably connected to the water collection bottle 4. The drive rod 62 is vertically mounted on the squeezing plate 61 and passes through the upper end of the water collection bottle 4. The handle 63 is mounted on the drive rod 62.

[0034] When the water collecting bottle 4 collects condensate, the condensate accumulates in the sponge block 45 to reduce the evaporation efficiency of the condensate. Simultaneously, when using the condensate to water the plants, pulling the handle 63 drives the drive rod 62 and the squeezing plate 61 to move synchronously. The squeezing plate 61 squeezes the sponge block 45, and the amount of condensate released from the sponge block 45 is controlled by adjusting the squeezing force, thus making the water volume controllable and convenient for watering the plants.

[0035] The specific embodiments are merely explanations of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to these embodiments without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
