[0032] In this application, the term "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described as "exemplary" in this application is not necessarily to be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments. The term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] This application provides a compressor assembly, such as... Figures 1-12 As shown, the compressor assembly includes a compressor 100, a return pipe 200, an exhaust pipe 300, and a counterweight 400. The return pipe 200 is connected to the return port of the compressor 100, and the exhaust pipe 300 is connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 100. The counterweight 400 is provided with a first through hole 410, a second through hole 420, and a drainage channel 430. A water guide groove 411 is provided on the wall of the first through hole 410, and a water storage tank 421 is provided on the wall of the second through hole 420. The water guide groove 411 and the water storage tank 421 are connected through the drainage channel 430. The return pipe 200 passes through the first through hole 410, and the exhaust pipe 300 passes through the second through hole 420, with a portion of the exhaust pipe 300 housed in the water storage tank 421.

[0034] The compressor assembly and air conditioner provided in this application embodiment, by setting a water guide groove 411 on the wall of the first through hole 410 of the counterweight block 400, and setting a water storage tank 421 on the wall of the second through hole 420 of the counterweight block 400, the water guide groove 411 and the water storage tank 421 are connected by a drainage channel 430, and the return pipe 200 passes through the first through hole 410, the exhaust pipe 300 passes through the second through hole 420, and a part of the exhaust pipe 300 is housed in the water storage tank 421, so that the condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200 can be collected in the water guide groove 411, and then flow into the water storage tank 421 through the drainage channel 430. The condensate in the water storage tank 421 is used to cool the refrigerant in the exhaust pipe 300, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation of the compressor 100 exhaust, thereby realizing the effective utilization of the condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200 and avoiding the waste of cooling capacity.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the lowest point of the return pipe 200 along the height direction of the compressor 100 is located within the first through hole 410. This arrangement facilitates the collection of condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200 into the guide groove, thereby improving the water collection efficiency of condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200.

[0036] Optionally, the counterweight 400 and the compressor 100 are spaced apart, meaning there is a certain gap between them. This arrangement prevents the compressor 100 and the counterweight 400 from interfering with each other during vibration, thus avoiding damage or noise caused by the compressor 100 colliding with the return pipe 200 and the exhaust pipe 300 during vibration.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 9-12 As shown, the water guide groove 411 has a first opening 412 on one end of its groove wall along the axial direction of the first through hole 410. By providing the first opening 412, the condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200 can flow into the guide groove through the first opening 412, making it easier for the condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200 to collect in the guide groove, so that the condensate generated on the surface of the return pipe 200 can be fully utilized.

[0038] Optionally, the counterweight 400 has a first end face 401 and a second end face 402, which are arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction. A first through hole 410 penetrates the first end face 401 and the second end face 402. A first opening 412 penetrates the first end face 401, and the bottom of the water guide groove 411 slopes downward from the first end face 401 to the second end face 402. By setting the bottom of the water guide groove 411 to slope downward from the first end face 401 to the second end face 402, the condensate collected in the water guide groove 411 can be prevented from flowing out from the first opening 412, thus avoiding waste. At the same time, the condensate on the surface of the return air pipe 200 drips into the water guide groove 411 at a faster flow rate, which can improve the water collection efficiency.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figures 9-12 As shown, a second opening 422 is provided on the wall of one end of the water storage tank 421 along the axial direction of the second through hole 420. The width of the second opening 422 is greater than or equal to the width of the exhaust pipe 300. By providing the second opening 422, the portion of the exhaust pipe 300 located in the second through hole 420 can be more fully immersed in the condensate in the water storage tank 421, thereby ensuring that the refrigerant in the exhaust pipe 300 is sufficiently cooled.

[0040] Optionally, the counterweight 400 has a first end face 401 and a second end face 402 arranged opposite each other in the horizontal direction, and a second through hole 420 penetrates the first end face 401 and the second end face 402; a second opening 422 penetrates the first end face 401, and the bottom of the water storage tank 421 slopes downward along the direction from the first end face 401 to the second end face 402. By setting the bottom of the water storage tank 421 to slope downward along the direction from the first end face 401 to the second end face 402, the condensate collected in the water storage tank 421 can be prevented from flowing out from the second opening 422, thus avoiding waste.

[0041] For example, in Figure 11 and Figure 12 In the orientation shown, the first through hole 410 and the second through hole 420 are arranged vertically at intervals, with the first through hole 410 located above the second through hole 420. Both the first through hole 410 and the second through hole 420 penetrate the counterweight 400 horizontally. The water guide trough 411 is arranged on the lower side wall of the first through hole 410, the water storage tank 421 is arranged on the lower side wall of the second through hole 420, and the drainage channel 430 is arranged between the first through hole 410 and the second through hole 420 and connects the water guide trough 411 and the water storage tank 421.

[0042] This application also provides an air conditioner, such as... Figures 1 to 7As shown, the air conditioner includes a compressor assembly, the specific structure of which is described in the above embodiments. Since this air conditioner employs all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it possesses at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0043] Optional, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the air conditioner also includes a condenser 500 and an evaporator. The evaporator is connected to the compressor 100 via a return pipe 200, and the condenser 500 is connected to the compressor 100 via an exhaust pipe 300. Specifically, the outlet of the evaporator is connected to the return port of the compressor 100 via the return pipe 200, and the inlet of the condenser 500 is connected to the exhaust port of the compressor 100 via the exhaust pipe 300.

[0044] Optionally, the air conditioner also includes a chassis 600, on which the compressor assembly is supported. The counterweight 400 of the compressor assembly is spaced apart from the chassis 600 (i.e., there is a certain gap between the counterweight 400 and the chassis 600). Specifically, the chassis 600 supports the compressor assembly, evaporator, and condenser 500, and together with the air conditioner's casing, encloses these structures within the air conditioner, protecting its internal structure. By spaced the counterweight 400 of the compressor assembly from the chassis 600, noise caused by the counterweight 400 vibrating and colliding with the chassis 600 during operation can be prevented, thus avoiding a reduction in the air conditioner's lifespan. It also prevents damage caused by collisions between the counterweight 400 and the chassis 600 during transport.

[0045] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have different focuses. For parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, please refer to the relevant descriptions in other embodiments.

[0046] The compressor assembly and air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
