Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to a water tray and duct air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Ductless air conditioners are a new type of household air conditioner. During operation, they produce condensate. To handle this condensate, existing ductless air conditioners typically use a drip tray to collect it, with a drain pipe installed on the tray to drain the condensate. However, the condensate in these existing drip trays is difficult to drain quickly, causing it to accumulate. Over time, this not only promotes bacterial growth but also corrodes the drip tray. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this application is to provide a drip tray and duct unit to solve the problem in the prior art that condensate in the drip tray is difficult to drain quickly from the drain pipe.

[0004] According to one aspect of this application, a water receiving tray is provided, comprising:

[0005] The main body has a water collection section, a flow guiding section, and a drainage assembly. The first side of the water collection section is connected to the flow guiding section, and the drainage assembly is connected to the water collection section.

[0006] The guide section includes at least two guide slopes, which are connected sequentially in a direction away from the water collection section, and the inclination angle of each guide slope increases sequentially in the direction away from the water collection section.

[0007] Furthermore, along the direction away from the water collection section, the extension length of each of the guide slopes increases sequentially.

[0008] Furthermore, the water collection part includes a water collection groove, the main body has a support part, the support part protrudes from the water collection groove, and along the height direction of the main body, the protrusion height of the support part is greater than the depth of the water collection groove;

[0009] The support portion divides the water collection groove into a first groove segment and a second groove segment. The first groove segment and the second groove segment are respectively connected to the drainage component, and the first side of the first groove segment is connected to the flow guide portion.

[0010] Furthermore, along the direction from the bottom of the first groove segment to the opening of the first groove segment, the width of the first groove segment gradually increases; and / or,

[0011] Along the direction from the bottom of the second groove section to the opening of the second groove section, the width of the second groove section gradually increases; and / or,

[0012] Along the direction from the bottom of the water collection groove to the opening of the water collection groove, the width of the support gradually decreases in the first direction; and / or,

[0013] The support portion is connected to the first groove segment via a transition slope. The angle between the transition slope and the bottom of the first groove segment is α, and the angle between the side of the support portion near the first groove segment and the bottom of the first groove segment is β. The relationship between α and β is: α > β.

[0014] Furthermore, the main body also has a baffle plate, which protrudes from the main body and is located on the side of the water collection part away from the guide part, and the height of the baffle plate protruding from the main body is greater than the protrusion height of the support part.

[0015] Furthermore, the main body includes a base plate and a flange, the base plate is provided with the water collection part, the flow guiding part and at least part of the drainage component, and the flange surrounds the outer periphery of the base plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the drainage assembly includes:

[0017] A drainage trough is provided on the main body and communicates with the water collection part, and along the height direction of the main body, the bottom of the drainage trough is lower than the bottom of the water collection part;

[0018] A drain outlet is provided on the side wall of the drainage channel and communicates with the drainage channel;

[0019] A drain pipe located at the drain outlet.

[0020] Furthermore, the main body has two drainage components, which are located on opposite sides of the water collection section along the second direction.

[0021] Furthermore, the water collection part includes a water collection groove, and the width of the water collection groove gradually increases along the direction from the bottom of the groove to the opening of the groove, and the edge of the opening of the groove is connected to the guide part.

[0022] On the other hand, this application also provides a duct air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned water receiving tray, and further includes:

[0023] The housing has a receiving cavity;

[0024] A partition is provided in the accommodating cavity and divides the accommodating cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, and the partition is provided with a vent. The water receiving tray is located in the first chamber.

[0025] A fan assembly is disposed in the second chamber and is connected to the vent.

[0026] An evaporator is disposed in the first chamber, one end of which abuts against the support portion of the water receiving tray, and the distance between the evaporator and the water receiving tray gradually decreases along the direction from the guide portion to the water collecting portion.

[0027] When the drip tray of this application is installed on indoor units such as ducted air conditioners, the main body of the drip tray can collect the condensate generated by the indoor units. During this process, since the drainage component of this application is connected to the water collection section, when condensate drips onto the water collection section, the condensate can be promptly and smoothly transported from the water collection section to the drainage component, and then discharged from the drainage component to the outside of the ducted air conditioner. Simultaneously, since the first side of the water collection section of this application is connected to at least two guide slopes, and the inclination angle of each guide slope increases sequentially in the direction away from the water collection section, when condensate is present on the guide slopes, the guide slopes can quickly guide the condensate to the water collection section, effectively preventing condensate residue on the guide slopes, reducing the possibility of condensate accumulation in the drip tray, and improving the drainage effect of the drip tray. It is worth noting that, since the inclination angle of each guide slope increases sequentially in the direction away from the water collection part, no matter which guide slope the condensate drips onto, it can flow towards the water collection part by means of the change in inclination angle, thus further ensuring the drainage effect of the water receiving tray.

[0038] As mentioned in the background section, existing ducted air conditioning systems typically feature a drip tray to collect condensate, with a drain pipe installed on the tray to drain the condensate. However, condensate in existing drip trays is difficult to drain from the drain pipe, causing it to accumulate in the tray. Over time, this not only promotes bacterial growth but also corrodes the drip tray. To address this issue, the inventors of this application have designed a novel drip tray that solves the problem of condensate not draining quickly from the drip tray in existing technologies. The drip tray of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It should be noted that the "height direction of the main body 10" in this application is... Figure 3 The direction indicated by the letter X; "First direction" is Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter Y; the "second direction" is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the letter Z.

[0040] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of this application, a water receiving tray is provided, which includes a main body 10.

[0041] Specifically, the main body 10 has a water collection section 20, a flow guiding section 30, and a drainage component 40. The first side 201 of the water collection section 20 is connected to the flow guiding section 30, and the drainage component 40 is connected to the water collection section 20. The flow guiding section 30 includes at least two flow guiding slopes 31, which are sequentially connected along a direction away from the water collection section 20, and the inclination angle of each flow guiding slope 31 increases sequentially along this direction. It should be noted that the "inclination angle of the flow guiding slope 31" in this application refers to the angle between the flow guiding slope 31 and the first plane on which the main body 10 is located. This first plane (e.g., ...) Figure 3 The plane indicated by the letter H is a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the main body 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water collection section 20 is used at least for collecting and guiding condensate. When the water tray in this embodiment is installed on an indoor unit such as a ducted air conditioner, the main body 10 of the water tray can collect the condensate generated by the indoor unit. During this process, since the drainage component 40 in this embodiment is connected to the water collection section 20, when condensate drips onto the water collection section 20, the condensate can be promptly and smoothly transported from the water collection section 20 to the drainage component 40, and then discharged from the drainage component 40 to the outside of the ducted air conditioner. At the same time, since the first side 201 of the water collection section 20 in this embodiment is connected to at least two guide slopes 31, and the inclination angle of each guide slope 31 increases sequentially in the direction away from the water collection section 20, when there is condensate on the guide slope 31, the guide slope 31 can quickly guide the condensate to the water collection section 20, effectively preventing condensate from remaining on the guide slope 31, reducing the possibility of condensate accumulating in the water tray, and improving the drainage effect of the water tray. It is worth noting that since the inclination angle of each guide slope 31 increases sequentially in the direction away from the water collection part 20, no matter which guide slope 31 the condensate drips onto, it can flow towards the water collection part 20 by means of the change in inclination angle, thus further ensuring the drainage effect of the water receiving tray.

[0043] For example, in this embodiment, the guide slope 31 can be set to two, three, or more. (The appendix of this embodiment...) Figure 2 The diagram shows the case where two guide ramps 31 are set.

[0044] Further, see Figures 2 to 3 As shown, along the direction away from the water collection section 20, the extension length of each guide slope 31 in this embodiment increases sequentially.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the inclination angles of each guide slope 31 increase sequentially away from the water collection part 20, when condensate drips onto the guide slope 31 with a larger inclination angle, the downward flow of condensate will have a greater acceleration due to the increased inclination angle, meaning the condensate will flow down the guide slope 31 more quickly. Furthermore, in this embodiment, by making the extension length of each guide slope 31 sequentially increase away from the water collection part 20, sufficient space can be provided on the guide slope 31 with a larger inclination angle to guide the condensate to flow quickly to the guide slope 31 with a smaller inclination angle, increasing the flow rate. When the condensate flows to the guide slope 31 with a smaller inclination angle, the guide slope 31 with a smaller inclination angle can prevent the condensate from splashing outside the main body 10 due to excessive speed. At the same time, the progressively increasing length of the guide slope 31 can disperse the impact force of the condensate on each guide slope 31, reducing the pressure on a single guide slope 31 and ensuring the structural stability and reliability of the water receiving tray.

[0046] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, the water collection part 20 in this embodiment includes a water collection groove 21, and the main body 10 has a support part 50. The support part 50 protrudes from the water collection groove 21, and along the height direction of the main body 10, the protrusion height of the support part 50 is greater than the depth of the water collection groove 21. The support part 50 divides the water collection groove 21 into a first groove segment 211 and a second groove segment 212. The first groove segment 211 and the second groove segment 212 are respectively connected to the drainage component 40, and the first side 201 of the first groove segment 211 is connected to a guide part 30.

[0047] Specifically, the water collection groove 21 provides a space for condensate to converge, facilitating its flow to the drainage component 40. The support portion 50 protrudes from the water collection groove 21, serving to support and strengthen the main structure 10, and dividing the water collection groove 21 into a first segment 211 and a second segment 212. This facilitates zoned management of the collected water, providing a clearer flow path and area division within the water collection groove 21. Furthermore, since the protrusion height of the support portion 50 in this embodiment is greater than the depth of the water collection groove 21, the partitioning effect of the water collection groove 21 is further enhanced. This also provides clear boundaries and guidance for the water flow, causing it to flow more along the first segment 211 and the second segment 212 on both sides of the support portion 50, rather than randomly overflowing the support portion 50. This reduces mutual interference between the water flow in the first segment 211 and the second segment 212, improving the efficiency and accuracy of water collection and drainage. Furthermore, the guide section 30 in this embodiment can guide the water flow from the guide slope 31 to the first groove section 211, thereby effectively converging the water flow from different guide slopes 31 into the first groove section 211 and effectively improving the water collection efficiency of the water collection groove 21.

[0048] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, along the direction from the bottom of the first groove segment 211 to the opening of the first groove segment 211, the width of the first groove segment 211 in this embodiment gradually increases. It should be noted that the "groove width of the first groove segment 211" in this embodiment refers to the... Figure 3 The width is indicated by the letter E in the middle.

[0049] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gradually increasing width of the first tank section 211 provides a larger inlet space for the water flow, facilitating the smooth entry of condensate flowing down from the guide slope 31 into the first tank section 211, effectively improving the efficiency and reliability of water collection in the first tank section 211. At the same time, the larger tank opening width can accommodate more condensate, which can act as a buffer and regulator when the condensate flow rate is high, reducing the risk of condensate overflowing from the first tank section 211.

[0050] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, along the direction from the bottom of the second groove segment 212 to the opening of the second groove segment 212, the width of the second groove segment 212 in this embodiment gradually increases. It should be noted that the "groove width of the second groove segment 212" in this embodiment refers to the... Figure 3 The width is indicated by the letter F.

[0051] Specifically, the gradually increasing groove width in this embodiment provides a wider inlet for the second groove section 212 when collecting water flow, thereby enabling more effective collection of condensate and improving water collection efficiency. At the same time, when the condensate flow rate is high, the wider groove opening provides greater capacity, thus acting as a buffer and effectively preventing condensate from overflowing outside the second groove section 212.

[0052] Further, see Figure 3 As shown, along the direction from the bottom of the water collection groove 21 to the opening of the water collection groove 21, the width of the support portion 50 in this embodiment gradually decreases along the first direction. It should be noted that the "width of the support portion 50 along the first direction" in this embodiment refers to the... Figure 3 The width is indicated by the letter G.

[0053] Specifically, see Figure 4 As shown, when the water tray in this embodiment is installed in the duct air conditioner, the support portion 50 is used to support the evaporator 73 in the duct air conditioner. In this embodiment, the width of the support portion 50 gradually decreases along the direction from the bottom of the water collection groove 21 to the opening of the water collection groove 21. In this way, the support portion 50 can provide sufficient support area to bear the weight of the evaporator 73, ensuring that the evaporator 73 will not be displaced due to gravity during operation. Furthermore, the width of the support portion 50 gradually decreases towards the opening of the groove, allowing the support portion 50 to better fit the bottom of the evaporator 73 according to its shape and weight distribution, avoiding excessive local stress and extending the service life of the evaporator 73. In addition, during the operation of the duct air conditioner, condensate will be generated on the surface of the evaporator 73. Some of the condensate will drip down the bottom of the evaporator 73 onto the support 50, and then flow along the two opposite surfaces of the support 50 in the first direction to the first groove section 211 and the second groove section 212, and then flow from the first groove section 211 and the second groove section 212 to the drainage assembly 40, reducing the possibility of condensate accumulation.

[0054] Furthermore, participate Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the support part 50 is connected to the first groove segment 211 through a transition slope 80. The angle between the transition slope 80 and the bottom of the first groove segment 211 is α, and the angle between the side of the support part 50 near the first groove segment 211 and the bottom of the first groove segment 211 is β. The relationship between α and β is: α > β.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the transition slope 80 at the junction of the support portion 50 and the first groove segment 211 can increase the included angle between the support portion 50 and the first groove segment 211, thereby avoiding the problem of water accumulation and incomplete drainage when the included angle is small. At the same time, the transition slope 80 can also act as a buffer when the condensate flow rate of the guide slope 31 is large, preventing condensate from splashing back onto the guide slope 31.

[0056] Further, see Figure 2 As shown, the main body 10 in this embodiment also has a baffle plate 60. The baffle plate 60 protrudes from the main body 10 and is located on the side of the water collection part 20 away from the guide part 30, and the height of the baffle plate 60 protruding from the main body 10 is greater than the protrusion height of the support part 50. It is worth noting that the baffle plate 60 in this embodiment is part of the flange 12.

[0057] Specifically, the baffle plate 60 in this embodiment can stop the condensate, preventing water in the water collection section 20 from splashing onto the outside of the main body 10 when the water receiving tray is subjected to external force. At the same time, since the guide slope 31 in this embodiment has an inclined angle, when the condensate flows along the guide slope 31 into the water collection section 20, the condensate may directly cross the support section 50 due to excessive flow velocity, thus splashing onto the outside of the main body 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the baffle plate 60 protrudes from the main body 10 at a height greater than the protrusion height of the support section 50. In this way, a more effective blocking barrier can be formed on the side of the support section 50 away from the guide section 30. Even if the condensate has a large impact force due to excessive flow velocity, it is difficult to cross the baffle plate 60, thereby more reliably preventing the condensate from splashing onto the outside of the main body 10 and avoiding damage to the internal components of the air duct unit.

[0058] Further, see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the main body 10 in this embodiment includes a base plate 11 and a flange 12. The base plate 11 is provided with a water collection part 20, a flow guide part 30 and at least a partial drainage component 40. The flange 12 surrounds the outer periphery of the base plate 11.

[0059] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base plate 11 serves as a basic support structure, providing a stable installation platform for the water collection section 20, the guide section 30, and the drainage assembly 40. It can withstand the weight of the condensate in the water collection section 20, ensuring the stability of the entire water tray structure and preventing deformation or damage due to uneven stress. The flange 12, surrounding the outer periphery of the base plate 11, not only increases the strength and rigidity of the base plate 11 to prevent deformation or damage when the edges of the base plate 11 are impacted by external forces, but also prevents condensate from seeping out from the edges of the base plate 11 or splashing to the outside of the base plate 11, thus improving the sealing performance of the water tray.

[0060] Specifically, see Figure 2 As shown, among the two flanges 12 arranged opposite to each other in the first direction of the main body 10, the flange 12 away from the guide part 30 is the first flange 121, and the flange 12 closer to the guide part 30 is the second flange 122. The height of the first flange 121 protruding from the bottom plate 11 is greater than the height of the second flange 122 protruding from the bottom plate 11.

[0061] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the air blown out by the fan assembly 72 enters the first chamber 702 through the vent 711 and then leaves the duct unit through the first chamber 702, and based on this, in this embodiment, by making the protrusion height of the second flange 122 lower than the protrusion height of the first flange 121, when the water tray is installed in the duct unit, the water tray can be installed in the first chamber 702, and the second flange 122 of the water tray is located on the side of the bottom plate 11 away from the partition 71 (e.g., Figure 4 (as shown), thus preventing the flange 12 from blocking the air blown out by the fan assembly 72.

[0062] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the drainage component 40 in this embodiment includes a drainage channel 41, a drainage outlet 42, and a drainage pipe 43. The drainage channel 41 is disposed on the main body 10 and communicates with the water collection part 20, and the bottom of the drainage channel 41 is lower than the bottom of the water collection part 20 along the height direction of the main body 10; the drainage outlet 42 is disposed on the side wall of the drainage channel 41 and communicates with the drainage channel 41; the drainage pipe 43 is located at the drainage outlet 42.

[0063] Specifically, since the bottom of the drainage trough 41 in this embodiment is lower than the bottom of the water collection section 20, the condensate in the water collection section 20 can automatically collect into the drainage trough 41 without the need for an additional power device, ensuring smooth drainage, improving drainage efficiency, and effectively preventing water accumulation in the water collection section 20. At the same time, the drain outlet 42 in this embodiment facilitates the guidance of water from the drainage trough 41 to the drain pipe 43, and the design of the side wall opening prevents the drain outlet 42 from being blocked by debris. It also ensures that during drainage, the condensate can enter the drain pipe 43 at a suitable angle and speed, reducing the water flow resistance of the condensate and further improving the drainage effect.

[0064] Furthermore, to ensure that condensate can be smoothly discharged through the drain outlet 42, each water collection section 20 can be provided with a certain inclination angle. Taking the first trough section 211 as an example, if the first trough section 211 is only connected to the drain component 40 at one end, then the first trough section 211 can be set such that the height of the bottom of the trough near the drain component 40 is lower than the height of the bottom of the trough away from the drain component 40. That is, the first trough section 211 extends from the bottom of the trough at the end away from the drain component 40 to the other end, and the height of the bottom of the trough becomes lower and lower, but will not be lower than the maximum height of the drain trough 41. If the first trough section 211 is connected to the drain components 40 at both ends, then the first trough section 211 can be set such that the height of the bottom of the trough at both ends near the drain component 40 is lower than the height of the bottom of the trough at the middle part of the first trough section 211. That is, the bottom of the trough at a certain position not at both ends of the first trough section 211 extends to both ends, and the height of the bottom of the trough becomes lower and lower, but will not be lower than the maximum height of the drain trough 41.

[0065] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the main body 10 in this embodiment has two drainage components 40, which are located on opposite sides of the water collection part 20 along the second direction.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the arrangement of two drainage components 40 can evenly distribute the condensate in the water collection section 20 to both sides for discharge, avoiding the situation of excessive local water flow and pressure that may occur when using only one drainage component 40. This helps to reduce the burden on a single drainage component 40, making the drainage process smoother and reducing damage to the drainage pipe 43 and related components caused by water flow impact. At the same time, when one drainage component 40 becomes blocked, malfunctions, or has poor drainage, the other drainage component 40 can continue to undertake the drainage task, ensuring that the condensate can be discharged in a timely manner, effectively preventing water accumulation in the water collection section 20, and improving the reliability and stability of the entire water tray drainage.

[0067] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, the water collection part 20 in this embodiment includes a water collection groove 21. Along the direction from the bottom of the water collection groove 21 to the opening of the water collection groove 21, the width of the water collection groove 21 gradually increases, and the edge of the opening of the water collection groove 21 is connected to the guide part 30.

[0068] Specifically, the water collection groove 21 in this embodiment can accommodate more condensate. Simultaneously, the wide opening of the water collection groove 21 provides a wider inlet space, facilitating the reception of condensate flowing from the guide section 30, improving water collection efficiency, and reducing splashing and loss of condensate. Furthermore, the edge of the opening of the water collection groove 21 in this embodiment is connected to the guide section 30, ensuring that condensate can smoothly flow from the guide section 30 into the water collection groove 21. This seamless connection prevents leakage or blockage during condensate transfer, ensuring smooth drainage of the entire drip tray.

[0069] On the other hand, see Figure 4 As shown in the illustration, this application also provides a ducted air conditioner that includes the aforementioned drip tray. Therefore, this ducted air conditioner incorporates all the technical effects of the aforementioned drip tray. Since the technical effects of the drip tray have already been described in detail above, they will not be repeated here.

[0070] Further, see Figure 4 As shown, the ducted air conditioner in this embodiment also includes a housing 70, a partition 71, a fan assembly 72, and an evaporator 73. The housing 70 has a receiving cavity 701; the partition 71 is disposed in the receiving cavity 701 and divides the receiving cavity 701 into a first chamber 702 and a second chamber 703, and the partition 71 is provided with a vent 711; a water collection tray is located in the first chamber 702; the fan assembly 72 is disposed in the second chamber 703 and communicates with the vent 711; the evaporator 73 is disposed in the first chamber 702, one end of the evaporator 73 abuts against the support portion 50 of the water collection tray, and the distance between the evaporator 73 and the water collection tray gradually decreases along the direction from the guide portion 30 to the water collection portion 20.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing cavity 701 of the outer shell 70 is divided into a first chamber 702 and a second chamber 703 by a partition 71, so that components with different functions are placed in different chambers, achieving a clear division of functional areas. The water tray and evaporator 73 are located in the first chamber 702, and the fan assembly 72 is located in the second chamber 703. This layout helps to reduce mutual interference and improve the working efficiency of each component. At the same time, the setting of the vent 711 allows the fan assembly 72 to introduce air from the second chamber 703 into the first chamber 702, and after heat exchange through the evaporator 73, it is sent out, thus forming a good airflow circulation path. Furthermore, the water tray is located in the first chamber 702 and one end of the evaporator 73 abuts against the support part 50 of the water tray. This design can effectively collect the condensate generated on the surface of the evaporator 73 and prevent the condensate from dripping into the receiving chamber 701 and affecting the environment inside the receiving chamber 701. The design of the gradually decreasing distance between the evaporator 73 and the water tray allows the condensate to flow more smoothly to the water collection part 20 of the water tray under the action of gravity, reducing the time that the condensate stays on the surface of the water tray, reducing the possibility of bacterial growth and odor generation, and also improving the discharge efficiency of condensate and avoiding the occurrence of water accumulation.

[0072] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0073] Furthermore, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to define components is merely for the purpose of distinguishing the corresponding components. Unless otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0074] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
