[0030] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Please combine Figures 1-5 An energy-saving air conditioner condensate water recovery and reuse device according to this embodiment includes:

[0032] The wall panel 1 has an indoor air conditioning unit 2 installed on the upper surface of one side, and a first water receiving tray 3 installed below the indoor air conditioning unit 2. One end of the wall panel 1 is connected to a water collection pipe 4, and the lower end of the first water receiving tray 3 is connected to a first connecting pipe 5.

A humidification structure 8 is provided at one end of the filter structure 7, and a cooling structure 9 is provided on the outer surface of the other side of the wall panel 1.

[0033] The above technical solutions enable the recovery, filtration, and reuse of condensate.

[0034] The filter structure 7 includes a filter box 71, and the lower end of the water collection pipe 4 is connected to the upper end of the other end of the filter box 71. The outer surface of the upper end of the filter box 71 is fitted with a box cover 72, and a filter frame 73 is inserted inside the upper end of the filter box 71. The filter frame 73 is fitted with a filter plate 74, a PP cotton layer 75 and an activated carbon plate 76. T-shaped sliders are provided on the upper surfaces of both sides of the filter box 71, and T-shaped grooves are opened on the bottom surfaces of both sides of the box cover 72. The internal dimensions of the T-shaped grooves are the same as the external dimensions of the T-shaped sliders. A filter screen is provided on the bottom surface of the filter frame 73.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, large particulate impurities in the condensate can be intercepted by the filter plate 74, small particulate matter can be filtered by the PP cotton layer 75, and organic matter, odors, residual chlorine and some heavy metals can be adsorbed by the activated carbon plate 76, thereby improving the quality of the condensate and facilitating its recycling. By pulling the cover 72, the T-shaped slide can be moved on the outer surface of the T-shaped slider, and the cover 72 can be removed. At this time, the filter frame 73 can be taken out upwards, which makes it easy to replace the filter plate 74, the PP cotton layer 75 and the activated carbon plate 76.

[0036] The humidification structure 8 includes a working chamber 81, with one end of the outer surface of the working chamber 81 fixedly connected to one end of the outer surface of the filter box 71. A water pump 82 is installed inside the lower end of the working chamber 81, and the input end of the water pump 82 is connected to the lower end of the filter box 71. A first water supply pipe 83 is connected to the outer surface of the input end of the water pump 82, and a second water supply pipe 84 is connected to the output end of the water pump 82.

There is a first atomizing nozzle 86, and the outer surface of the first atomizing nozzle 86 is located inside the upper part of one side of the water pump 82. A motor 87 is installed inside the upper part of the other side of the water pump 82, and a fan blade 88 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 87. A water collection drawer 89 is inserted into the lower part of the upper part of the water pump 82. A baffle is provided inside the upper outer surface of one side of the water pump 82, and the position of the baffle corresponds to the position of the fan blade 88. Control valves are installed inside both ends of the double-ended water pipe 85.

[0037] With the above technical solution, the motor 87 can be started to drive the fan blade 88 to rotate. At this time, the atomized water sprayed by the first atomizing nozzle 86 can be blown into the room to ensure the humidity inside the room. The blocking grille can prevent the user from accidentally touching the fan blade 88 and being injured. The water collection drawer 89 can collect the atomized water that has not been blown out.

[0038] The cooling structure 9 includes a distribution box 94, the upper end of which is connected to one end of the first water supply pipe 83. The cooling structure 9 also includes a mounting bracket 91, which is mounted on the outer surface of the other side of the wall panel 1. A second water receiving tray 92 is installed inside the lower end of one side of the mounting bracket 91, and the bottom surface of the second water receiving tray 92 is connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 6. An air conditioner outdoor unit 93 is installed at the upper end of one side of the mounting bracket 91, and the top surface inside the air conditioner outdoor unit 93 is fixedly connected to... A distribution box 94 is connected, and a second atomizing nozzle 95 is connected to the bottom surface of the distribution box 94. A condenser 96 is installed inside the outdoor unit 93 of the air conditioner. A connecting groove is opened on the bottom surface of the outdoor unit 93 of the air conditioner, and the position of the connecting groove corresponds to the position of the second water receiving tray 92. Multiple sets of second atomizing nozzles 95 are provided, and multiple sets of second atomizing nozzles 95 are evenly and equally connected to the bottom surface of the distribution box 94, and the positions of multiple sets of second atomizing nozzles 95 correspond to the positions of the condenser 96.

[0039] Through the above technical solution, multiple sets of second atomizing nozzles 95 can spray atomized water onto the outer surface of the condenser 96, thereby reducing the temperature of the air around the condenser 96 by evaporating the water source to absorb heat and improving the heat exchange efficiency. Excess water can be collected into the interior of the second water receiving tray 92 through the flow channel.

[0040] The implementation principle of the energy-saving air conditioner condensate recovery and reuse device in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0041] Step 1: First, the condensate generated on the outer surface of the air conditioner indoor unit 2 is collected through the first water receiving tray 3, and the condensate generated inside the air conditioner indoor unit 2 is collected through the water collection pipe 4. Then, the condensate is discharged into the filter box 71 through the water collection pipe 4 and the first connecting pipe 5. At this time, the condensate passes through the filter plate 74, the PP cotton layer 75 and the activated carbon plate 76 in sequence and enters the lower end of the filter box 71, thereby completing the filtration of the condensate.

[0042] Step 2: By starting the water pump 82, the filtered condensate enters the first water supply pipe 83 and then enters the distribution box 94. At this time, multiple sets of second atomizing nozzles 95 spray atomized water onto the outer surface of the condenser 96. The evaporation of water absorbs heat, reducing the temperature of the air around the condenser 96 and improving the heat exchange efficiency. Excess water can be collected in the flow channel at the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit 93 into the second water receiving tray 92, and then re-enter the water collection pipe 4 through the second connecting pipe 6 and be collected again into the filter box 71.

[0043] Step 3: By opening the control valve near the first atomizing nozzle 86, condensate water enters the double-headed water pipe 85 and the interior of the first atomizing nozzle 86 through the second water pipe 84, and is sprayed out as atomized water through the first atomizing nozzle 86. The motor 87 is started to drive the fan blades 88 to rotate, and the atomized water can be blown into the room to maintain the humidity inside the room. Water that is not blown into the room can be collected through the water collection drawer 89. By opening the control valve away from the first atomizing nozzle 86, condensate water can be discharged out through the other end of the double-headed water pipe 85. The filtered condensate water can then be used for other purposes, thus completing the reuse of condensate water.

[0044] Step 4: After the device is used, the cover 72 can be pulled out and removed. At this time, the water collection drawer 89 can be pulled out and the water inside can be poured back into the filter box 71. The filter frame 73 can be pulled out and the filter plate 74, PP cotton layer 75 and activated carbon plate 76 inside can be replaced for subsequent use.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
