DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The technical scheme of the present application will be described clearly and completely below by means of specific embodiments and in conjunction with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-7 The present embodiment provides a cabinet water collecting ceiling shutter mechanism, which comprises a shutter frame 1 and a plurality of guide vanes 2 arranged in an inclined manner. The shutter frame 1 is provided with an air guide channel 11 extending in the vertical direction. The guide vanes 2 are arranged in the upper part of the air guide channel 11 in a horizontal direction. An air flow channel 3 is formed between adjacent two guide vanes 2. The lower part of the guide vane 2 is provided with a first water collecting groove 21 extending along the length direction of the guide vane 2. The opening of the first water collecting groove 21 is upwardly arranged and faces the windward surface of the guide vane 2 (i.e. the surface of the guide vane inclined downward). The inner wall of the air guide channel 11 is provided with a water storage tank 4 with an upward opening. The water storage tank 4 is located below each guide vane 2. The first water collecting groove 21 is provided with a first drain hole 211 located above the water storage tank 4. By arranging the first water collecting groove, the condensed water formed on the surface of the guide vane by the rising air flow can be collected and discharged into the water storage tank through the first drain hole to be collected and discharged as much as possible, thereby avoiding the condensation and infiltration of air conditioner condensed water.
[0028] As an example, as Figures 1-7As shown, the number of guide vanes 2 is set to 17. The water storage tank 4 is rectangular in shape and is distributed on the inner wall of the air guide channel 11.
[0029] As an improved embodiment, the bottom of the water storage tank 4 is provided with a drain port 41, and the drain port 41 is connected with a drain pipe 42. Through the setting of the drain pipe, the water accumulated in the water storage tank can be discharged outside in time. More specifically, as an example, as shown in Figures 1-7 , the number of drain ports 41 is set to two, which are respectively distributed at both ends of the shutter frame 1, so that the water accumulated in the water storage tank can be discharged more quickly.
[0030] As a further improved embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the upper part of the guide vane 2 is connected with a downward inclined distribution of the backflow baffle 22 near one side of the first water collecting tank 21, and the lower part of the guide vane 2 is provided with a second water collecting tank 23 away from one side of the first water collecting tank 21, the second water collecting tank 23 and the backflow baffle 22 are both distributed along the length direction of the guide vane 2, the opening of the second water collecting tank 23 is upwardly arranged and the second water collecting tank 23 is located below the backflow baffle 22 of the adjacent guide vane, and the second water collecting tank 23 is provided with a second drain hole 231 above the water storage tank 4. By setting the backflow baffle, the air flow can be better controlled, and because the second water collecting tank is arranged below the backflow baffle, the water condensed on the surface of the backflow baffle can be collected and drained into the water storage tank for discharge.
[0031] In some specific embodiments, the guide vane 2, the first water collecting tank 21, the second water collecting tank 23, the backflow baffle 22, the water storage tank 4 and the shutter frame 1 are all made of metal plate. As an example, the metal plate can be stainless steel plate or aluminum alloy plate, so as to have better strength and not easy to rust.
[0032] In some specific embodiments, the first water collecting tank 21, the second water collecting tank 23 and the backflow baffle 22 are respectively fixedly connected with the guide vane 2 by welding, and the water storage tank 4 is fixedly connected with the shutter frame 1 by welding.
[0033] In this embodiment, the two ends of the guide vane 2 are respectively connected with the shutter frame 1 through the locking mechanism 5. Specifically, referring to Figures 4-7 , the locking mechanism 5 includes a screw 51, and the side wall of the first water collecting tank 21 and the side wall of the shutter frame 1 are respectively provided with a threaded hole 52 connected with the screw 51. By locking the screw, each guide vane can be quickly installed in the air guide channel.
[0034] As a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 the lower surface of the bottom wall of the first water collecting groove 21 is horizontally distributed, and the bottom wall of the first water collecting groove 21 abuts against the opening edge of the water storage groove 4. In this way, the bottom wall of the first water collecting groove and the opening edge of the water storage groove can form a limit, thereby facilitating the installation of the guide vane.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, the upper surface of the bottom wall of the first water collecting groove 21 is provided with a slope, which is slightly higher in the middle and slightly lower near the two ends of the water storage groove 4, thereby ensuring that the water in the first water collecting groove 21 is discharged and flows into the water storage groove 4 in time without easily accumulating water. The upper surface of the bottom wall of the second water collecting groove 23 is also provided with a slope, which is slightly higher in the middle and slightly lower near the two ends of the water storage groove 4, thereby ensuring that the water in the second water collecting groove 23 is discharged and flows into the water storage groove 4 in time without easily accumulating water.
[0036] In the present embodiment, referring to Figures 1-7 the bottom edge of the shutter frame body 1 is provided with a mounting plate 6, and the mounting plate 6 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 61. In this way, it can be conveniently installed on the top of the closed heat channel of the cabinet. As an example, the number of mounting holes 61 is six.
[0037] In some specific embodiments, referring to Figures 1-7 the cross-sectional shape of the air guide channel 11 is rectangular. Of course, in other embodiments, it can also be designed into a square, an oval or other suitable shape as needed.
[0038] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the concept and technical solution of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
