Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner indoor unit drainage technology, and in particular to a rapid drainage device for a split wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit. Background Technology
[0002] During factory testing, air conditioners are tested to ensure they are functioning properly by running in either cooling or heating mode. During this process, a large amount of moisture is generated inside the indoor unit. In particular, when running in cooling mode, a large amount of condensate is generated on the evaporator fins of the indoor unit. If the condensate is not evaporated in time, it will not only soak the packaging box, but the remaining condensate inside will also cause bacteria to grow and produce an unpleasant odor, leading to after-sales complaints.
[0003] A search revealed a rapid water-draining device for a split-type wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit (authorization announcement number: CN 216790497U), which "includes a placement device, a power distribution device, a slide rail assembly, a water-guiding device, a dehumidification device, and a base. The base is equipped with several slide rail assemblies, each forming a slot in pairs. These slide rail assemblies are combined to form a water-draining frame. The dehumidification device is connected to the power distribution device and located on the back of the water-draining frame. The placement device is connected to the slide rail assemblies, and the water-guiding device is connected to the base. This utility model, a rapid water-draining device for a split-type wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, can quickly adjust the angle of the air conditioner and rapidly dry residual condensate on the tested air conditioner through air convection and space dehumidification, avoiding quality problems caused by residual condensate on the air conditioner evaporator and effectively reducing after-sales complaints."
[0004] Based on the aforementioned technologies, the applicant believes that the technologies lack a mechanism for fixing the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The indoor unit is prone to falling off if accidentally bumped during the draining process, which can damage the indoor unit. Furthermore, the indoor unit cannot be moved during the draining process, resulting in poor draining efficiency. To address these issues, we have developed a split-type wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit rapid draining device. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a rapid water-draining device for a split wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, which aims to solve the technical problems of the lack of a fixing mechanism for the air conditioner indoor unit, the easy fall of the air conditioner indoor unit due to accidental contact during the water-draining process, which would cause damage to the air conditioner indoor unit, and the inability to move the air conditioner indoor unit during the water-draining process, resulting in poor water-draining efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0028] The present invention discloses a split-type wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit rapid water draining device, which is mainly used in the scenario of draining water from the indoor unit of an air conditioner.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4A rapid water-draining device for a split-type wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit includes two support brackets 1. A base 2 is fixedly connected to the top of each support bracket 1. A support frame 3 is located above the base 2, and a water-draining rack 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 3. The water-draining rack 4 is inclined. A water-draining mechanism is located on the top of the base 2. The water-draining mechanism includes a positioning component, a displacement component, and a water-storage component. These components work together. The positioning component includes a fastening motor 51, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water-draining rack 4. A fixing plate 52 is fixedly connected inside the water-draining rack 4, and a rotating shaft 53 is rotatably connected inside the fixing plate 52. A rotating plate 54 is fixedly connected to the outside. Sliding rods 55 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inside of the drain rack 4. Clamping plates 56 are symmetrically slidably connected to the outside of the two sliding rods 55. Sliding frames 57 are fixedly connected to the side of the two clamping plates 56 that are close to each other. Sliding columns 58 are slidably connected to the inside of the two sliding frames 57. The bottom of the sliding column 58 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating plate 54. Silicone strips 510 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inside of the drain rack 4. The silicone strips 510 and the clamping plates 56 are used in cooperation. An air conditioner indoor unit 511 is placed between the silicone strips 510 and the clamping plates 56. Drainage grooves 59 are formed in a rectangular array on both sides of the bottom of the inner wall of the drain rack 4. The displacement assembly includes a displacement motor 61, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the base 2. A displacement plate 62 is fixedly connected inside the base 2. A displacement groove 63 is formed inside the displacement plate 62. A reciprocating screw 64 is rotatably connected inside the displacement groove 63. A displacement block 65 is threadedly connected to the outside of the reciprocating screw 64. A displacement frame 66 is fixedly connected to the top of the displacement block 65 and is fixedly connected to the drain rack 4. Limiting grooves 68 are symmetrically formed on the top of the base 2. Rollers 67 symmetrically roll inside both limiting grooves 68. The tops of the rollers 67 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support frame 3. The water storage assembly includes water guide plates 71, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base 2. A water receiving tank 72 is fixedly connected to the outside of the base 2, on the side furthest from the displacement motor 61. Both water guide plates 71 are fixedly connected to the water receiving tank 72. A drain outlet 73 is provided on the outer side of the water receiving tank 72.
[0030] In this embodiment: the fastening motor 51 drives the rotating shaft 53 to rotate, causing the rotating plate 54 to push the sliding column 58 to move within the sliding frame 57, thereby driving the two clamping plates 56 to slide towards each other along the slide rod 55. The two clamping plates 56 move towards the two silicone strips 510 respectively, achieving flexible clamping and fixing of the air conditioner indoor unit 511. During the draining process, the residual water in the indoor unit is quickly discharged through the inclined design of the drain rack 4 and the drain groove 59. At the same time, the displacement motor 61 can be activated to drive the reciprocating screw 64 to rotate, causing the displacement block 65 to move the drain rack 4 horizontally. The reciprocating movement, combined with the rolling of the roller 67 within the limiting groove 68, ensures stable displacement. Slight vibration accelerates the drainage efficiency. The drained water is guided by the water guide plate 71 to the water collection tank 72 for centralized collection, and finally discharged through the drain outlet 73. Through the set drainage mechanism, the entire working process is automatically controlled by the controller 9. All components work together to clamp and fix the air conditioner indoor unit 511 while the air conditioner indoor unit 511 can reciprocate and shake, ensuring the air conditioner indoor unit 511 is fixed safely while significantly improving the drainage efficiency.
[0031] The above technical solution suffers from several drawbacks. Firstly, it lacks a mechanism to secure the indoor unit, making it prone to falling and damaging itself during the draining process. Secondly, the indoor unit cannot be moved during draining, resulting in poor drainage efficiency. To address these issues, the following steps are taken:
[0032] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fastening motor 51, and heat dissipation grooves are evenly spaced inside the protective cover. A support column 8 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the base 2, and a controller 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the support column 8. Both the fastening motor 51 and the displacement motor 61 are electrically connected to the controller 9.
[0033] In this embodiment: a protective cover protects the fastening motor 51 and extends its lifespan, while a heat dissipation groove prevents the motor from overheating, improving the reliability of the device. The support column 8 and controller 9 centrally control the operation, simplifying the process and improving human-machine interaction convenience. By linking the fastening motor 51 and the displacement motor 61 through the controller 9, automated clamping and displacement are achieved, reducing the intensity of manual operation.
[0034] Working principle: First, the indoor unit 511 of the air conditioner is placed on the inclined drain rack 4. The controller 9 starts the fastening motor 51 to drive the rotating shaft 53 to rotate, so that the rotating plate 54 pushes the sliding column 58 to move in the sliding frame 57, thereby driving the two clamping plates 56 to slide towards each other along the sliding rod 55. The two clamping plates 56 move towards the two silicone strips 510 respectively, realizing the flexible clamping and fixing of the indoor unit 511. During the draining process, the residual water of the indoor unit is quickly discharged through the inclined design of the drain rack 4 and the drain groove 59. At the same time, the displacement motor 61 can be started to drive the reciprocating screw 64 to rotate, so that the displacement block 65 drives the drain rack 4 to move horizontally back and forth. The roller 67 rolls in the limiting groove 68 to ensure stable displacement. The slight vibration accelerates the draining efficiency. The drained water is guided by the water guide plate 71 to the water collection tank 72 for centralized collection, and finally discharged through the drain outlet 73. The entire working process is automatically controlled by the controller 9, and all components work together to ensure the safe fixing of the indoor unit 511 while significantly improving the draining efficiency.
[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
