TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of water receiving trays, in particular to a water receiving tray for an air conditioner. BACKGROUND
[0002] When an air conditioner operates in a cooling mode, the surface temperature of an evaporator of an indoor unit is lower than the dew point temperature of indoor air. When water vapor in the indoor air contacts the low-temperature evaporator surface, the water vapor condenses into liquid water, which is commonly referred to as condensed water. The condensed water is discharged to the outside through a drain pipe. However, a similar process also occurs in an outdoor unit of the air conditioner. When the outdoor unit operates in a cooling mode, the surface temperature of a condenser (for some models, the condenser is in the outdoor unit, and for heat pump models, the condenser is used as a condenser when cooling) in the outdoor unit is also lower than the dew point temperature of the surrounding air.
[0003] Although the outdoor unit is installed outdoors and has good air circulation, water droplets can also condense on the surface or some components (fan blades, condenser fins, etc.) inside the outdoor unit and drip under the action of gravity. These dripping water droplets can cause inconvenience to the residents or pedestrians on the lower floors, and even damage the equipment below the outdoor unit. Therefore, a water receiving tray is arranged at the lower end of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. However, the existing water receiving tray still has some defects in use. Usually, a thin steel wire is used to connect and install the water receiving tray on the support frame of the outdoor unit. When working at a high altitude, the installation has certain difficulty, and the stability is not enough in windy weather.
[0004] Therefore, the application provides a water receiving tray for an air conditioner. Content of the utility model
[0005] The application aims to solve the technical problems in the background art and provides a water receiving tray for an air conditioner.
[0006] The technical scheme of the application is a water receiving tray for an air conditioner, which comprises a mounting frame and a water tray mounted at the lower end of the mounting frame, and is supported and fixed between the water tray and the mounting frame by a connecting piece, and further comprises:
[0007] A vertical balancing piece is arranged on the inner wall of the water tray and is used to balance the mounting and connecting state of the water tray and the mounting frame.
[0008] The vertical balancing piece comprises an internal thread cylinder fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tray, a threaded rod inserted into the internal thread cylinder in a threaded manner, a sleeve fixedly connected to the upper end of the threaded rod, and a sleeve sliding cover arranged on the outer surface of the internal thread cylinder, wherein the height of the sleeve is adjustable.
[0009] Preferably, the vertical balancing piece further comprises a support block fixedly connected to the upper end of the sleeve. The sleeve is driven to move upward by rotating the threaded rod, so that the support block moves upward and abuts against the lower end of the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby balancing the water tray.
[0010] Preferably, when the supporting block is in contact with the lower end of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the lower end of the sleeve is still covered on the outer wall of the inner threaded cylinder, so as to prevent water from entering the inner threaded cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, one end of the water pan is provided with a through hole, and the outer wall of the through hole is fixedly connected with a drain hose.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting frame comprises a pair of fixed vertical rods, both of which are mounted on the wall, and both of the fixed vertical rods are fixedly connected with a horizontal support rod at one end, both of the horizontal support rods are right angle plates, and a balance rod is fixedly connected between the horizontal support rod and the fixed vertical rod.
[0013] Preferably, the connecting piece comprises a pair of connecting rods fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water pan, and both of the connecting rods are fixedly connected with a pair of connecting steel wires at the upper end, and both of the connecting steel wires are fixedly connected with a rectangular positioning rod at the top end.
[0014] Both of the rectangular positioning rods are respectively clamped in the right angle inner wall of the two horizontal support rods.
[0015] Preferably, both of the side walls of the rectangular positioning rods are provided with mounting holes, both of the side walls of the horizontal support rods are provided with connecting holes, the connecting holes correspond to the mounting holes, and the connecting holes and the mounting holes are fixed by lock bolts.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0017] By arranging the vertical balance piece on the inner wall of the water pan, when the water pan is preliminarily fixed below the air conditioner outdoor unit, rotating the threaded rod to move the inner threaded cylinder upward, and then moving the sleeve upward, finally moving the supporting block upward to be in contact with the bottom end of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the vertical positioning of the water pan is realized, and the installation of the water pan is more stable, and the water pan will not easily deviate from the air conditioner outdoor unit in windy and rainy weather.
[0018] By arranging the connecting piece between the water pan and the mounting frame, the installation is more convenient, the installation time is saved, and the difficulty of high-altitude operation is reduced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
