Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a water receiving tray, and more particularly to a novel water receiving tray, belonging to the technical field of water receiving trays for air conditioners. Background Technology

[0002] The drip tray is an essential component of an air conditioning unit. If the drip tray is poorly designed or lacks sufficient strength, the weight of the evaporator can damage it, leading to cracking and affecting its normal operation. This can also cause leaks, especially for indoor units, which can damage the floorboards. If the unit is ceiling-mounted, leaks can damage the ceiling finishes, causing mold and discoloration if the materials absorb moisture. Therefore, a well-designed drip tray is crucial. Previously, sheet metal parts were used, which placed high demands on production and welding, resulting in higher manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing air conditioner drip trays, such as insufficient strength, easy cracking and leakage, and difficulty in manufacturing. This invention provides a new type of drip tray that can enhance the strength of the drip tray, prevent cracking and leakage, and is easy to manufacture.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel water collection tray, including a water collection trough provided on its side, and a finned evaporator provided above the water collection trough; a drain hole designed in conjunction with the orientation of the finned evaporator is provided in the water collection trough, which can facilitate the rapid collection of evaporated condensate into the water collection trough.

[0005] An upwardly protruding evaporator mounting bracket is obliquely provided on the water collection tank to support the finned evaporator. The size of the evaporator mounting bracket matches the size of the bottom of the finned evaporator. The angle between the installation direction of the evaporator mounting bracket on the water collection tank and one side of the water collection tank is 51-55°. The finned evaporator is mounted on the water receiving tray through the evaporator mounting bracket, so that the bottom of the finned evaporator will not come into contact with the evaporated condensate, which improves the heat exchange effect of the finned evaporator, increases the utilization rate of the finned evaporator, and thus increases the cooling capacity of the unit.

[0006] Several reinforcing ribs are provided below the evaporator mounting base. The reinforcing ribs are arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the direction of the evaporator mounting base. The left and right ends of the reinforcing ribs are flush with the left and right sides of the evaporator mounting base. The setting of several reinforcing ribs increases the pressure resistance of the evaporator mounting base and increases its service life, ensuring the stable installation and normal operation of the finned evaporator.

[0007] Several reinforcing columns are installed below the water collection tank and on both sides of the evaporator mounting bracket to prevent the weight of the finned evaporator from damaging the water collection tray and to improve the service life of the water collection tray.

[0008] The angle between the installation direction of the evaporator mounting base on the water collection tank and one side of the water collection tank is 53°. The upper plane of the evaporator mounting base is a slope.

[0009] The evaporator mounting base is equipped with three reinforcing ribs.

[0010] A total of 6 reinforcing columns are provided below the water collection tank and on both sides of the evaporator mounting base. Two reinforcing columns are located on one side of the evaporator mounting base, and the other 4 reinforcing columns are located on the other side of the evaporator mounting base.

[0011] The novel water receiving tray is formed in one piece by plastic mold or vacuum forming, making it easy to manufacture, assemble, use, and maintain.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The water receiving tray is obliquely provided with an upwardly protruding evaporator mounting base bracket, and several reinforcing ribs are provided below the evaporator mounting base bracket, increasing the pressure resistance of the evaporator mounting base bracket. Several reinforcing columns are provided below the water receiving tray and on both sides of the evaporator mounting base bracket to prevent the weight of the finned evaporator from damaging the water receiving tray, thus preventing the water receiving tray from cracking and leaking. Furthermore, this design is easy to manufacture and extends the service life of the water receiving tray. Attached Figure Description
