Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning installation technology, and more specifically to an installation structure for an air conditioning outdoor unit water tray. Background Technology
[0002] Existing air conditioner outdoor units are generally fixed directly to the air conditioner mounting brackets on the exterior wall. When the air conditioner is cooling, its outdoor unit acts as the condenser, and the temperature of its external air outlet and pipes is relatively high, so there will be no condensation problems. However, when it is heating, its outdoor unit acts as the evaporator, which will condense water droplets or liquid, causing the outdoor unit to drip water. Therefore, it is generally necessary to install a drip tray under the outdoor unit.
[0003] The existing water tray installation uses connecting ropes to suspend the water tray on the air conditioner mounting bracket. After installation, when there is wind outside, the water tray is easy to shake, making it easy to pour out the water inside.
[0004] Meanwhile, the existing water trays have no cover or filter at the outlet, and since the water trays are placed on the outside, their inlets are prone to clogging, affecting the drainage effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an air conditioner outdoor unit water tray installation structure. Its water tray is rigidly connected to the air conditioner installation support frame, making it less prone to shaking. At the same time, its upper hemispherical filter screen can block external solid objects and allow them to fall to the surroundings, reducing the chance of clogging the drain connection and ensuring normal drainage.
[0006] The solution of this utility model to the aforementioned technical problem is:
[0007] An air conditioner outdoor unit water tray installation structure includes two air conditioner installation support brackets fixed to the wall. Connecting blocks are fixed to the front and rear parts of the outer side walls of the two air conditioner installation support brackets. Vertical through holes are formed in the middle of the connecting blocks. The upper screw parts of four vertical connecting rods are inserted into the corresponding vertical through holes. Two locking nuts are screwed on the screw parts. The connecting blocks are clamped between the corresponding two locking nuts.
[0008] The bottom ends of the four vertical connecting rods are fixed to the top of the same water receiving tray.
[0009] The bottom plate of the water receiving tray has a downwardly extending lower central groove formed in the center of the top surface, and a second downwardly extending lower central groove formed in the center of the bottom surface of the lower central groove. A drain connector is connected to the center of the bottom surface of the second lower central groove, and the lower part of the drain connector extends out of the center bottom surface of the water receiving tray.
[0010] The inner wall of the drain connector is formed with internal threads. The upper connecting sleeve is screwed onto the inner wall of the top of the drain connector. An annular end plate is fixed on the top surface of the upper connecting sleeve. A spherical upper hemisphere filter screen is fixed on the top surface of the annular end plate. The through hole in the middle of the annular end plate communicates with the upper connecting sleeve.
[0011] The top surfaces of the left and right sides of the water receiving tray are each fixed with a connecting beam extending forward and backward, and the front and rear sides of the top surfaces of the connecting beams are each fixed with a vertical connecting rod.
[0012] The outstanding effect of this utility model is:
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, its water tray and air conditioner mounting bracket are rigidly connected, making it less prone to shaking. At the same time, its upper hemispherical filter screen can block external solid objects and allow them to fall to the surroundings, reducing the chance of clogging the drain connector and ensuring normal drainage.

[0017] Figure 4 This is a partial side view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation
[0018] For example, see below. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an air conditioner outdoor unit water tray installation structure includes two air conditioner installation support brackets 10 fixed to the wall. The existing air conditioner installation support brackets 10 are products that can be purchased directly from the market, and will not be described in detail here. The front and rear parts of the outer side walls of the two air conditioner installation support brackets 10 are fixed with connecting blocks 11. The middle part of the connecting block 11 is formed with a vertical through hole. The upper screw parts of the four vertical connecting rods 20 are inserted into the corresponding vertical through holes. Two locking nuts 21 are screwed on the screw parts. The connecting blocks 11 are clamped between the corresponding two locking nuts 21.
[0019] The bottom ends of the four vertical connecting rods 20 are fixed to the top of the same water receiving tray 30.
[0020] In this embodiment, the water receiving tray 30 is fixed by four vertical connecting rods 20, making the water receiving tray 30 less prone to shaking and achieving a rigid connection.
[0021] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the water receiving tray 30 has a downwardly extending lower central groove 31 formed in the middle of the top surface, and a downwardly extending second lower central groove 32 formed in the middle of the bottom surface of the lower central groove 31. A drain connector 33 is connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the second lower central groove 32, and the lower part of the drain connector 33 extends out of the middle bottom surface of the water receiving tray 30.
[0022] Furthermore, the inner wall of the drain connector 33 is formed with an internal thread, and the upper connecting sleeve 34 is screwed onto the inner wall of the top of the drain connector 33. An annular end plate 35 is fixed on the top surface of the upper connecting sleeve 34, and a spherical upper hemisphere filter screen part 36 is fixed on the top surface of the annular end plate 35. The through hole in the middle of the annular end plate 35 communicates with the upper connecting sleeve 34.
[0023] This structure allows solid matter to enter the water receiving tray 30 and be blocked by the hemispherical filter screen 36. At the same time, the solid matter will generally roll off the hemispherical filter screen 36 to the surrounding area, allowing water to enter normally from the hemispherical filter screen 36 and be discharged from the drain connector 33. The bottom of the drain connector 33 can be connected to a rubber tube or other drain pipe to achieve liquid drainage.
[0024] Furthermore, the top surfaces of the left and right sides of the water receiving tray 30 are each fixed with a connecting beam 37 extending forward and backward, and the front and rear parts of the top surfaces of the connecting beam 37 are each fixed with a vertical connecting rod 20.
[0025] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the lower central groove 31 of the bottom plate of the water receiving tray 30 protrudes downward to form a lower protrusion. The top surface of the bottom plate of the lower protrusion is formed with a second lower central groove 32 extending downward. The bottom surface of the bottom plate of the lower protrusion at the second lower central groove 32 protrudes downward to form a second lower protrusion. A through hole is formed in the center of the bottom surface of the second lower central groove 32. The upper part of the drain connector 33 is engaged on the inner sidewall of the through hole and welded and fixed.
[0026] This structure increases the strength of the base plate of the water receiving tray 30.
[0027] Furthermore, the water receiving tray 30 is a stainless steel tray.
[0028] Furthermore, the bottom end of the vertical connecting rod 20 is welded and fixed to the top surface of the corresponding connecting beam 37.
[0029] This embodiment has good performance, can prevent the water receiving tray 30 from shaking, and can prevent solid matter from clogging the water inlet of the drain connector 33, ensuring normal drainage.
[0030] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely representative examples of this utility model. Obviously, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
