Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner accessories technology, specifically to an air conditioner drain pan installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] An air conditioner, or air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow of the air inside a building or structure. It generally includes several major parts such as cold source and heat source equipment, cold and heat medium distribution system, terminal devices, and other auxiliary equipment. When the outdoor unit of an air conditioner is in use, water will be continuously discharged, so a drain pan needs to be installed to collect the defrosting water.
[0003] Most existing drain pans require a traditional integrated structure and are bolted to the bottom of the air conditioner casing, which is very inconvenient to install and remove. This makes subsequent maintenance and replacement work difficult. Furthermore, since drain pans are mostly located outdoors, debris and garbage often blow into the drain pan, causing blockage of the drain pan outlet. This can easily lead to excessive water accumulation in the drain pan, increasing its weight and putting pressure on the mounting plate, thus affecting its service life. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Example
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution for an air conditioner drain pan installation structure, including an installation plate 1. Two connecting rods 2 are fixedly connected to one side of the installation plate 1. Each of the two connecting rods 2 is provided with a reinforcing rib 3. An installation bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 2. A locking mechanism 11 is provided on one side of the installation bracket 4. Installation grooves 5 are opened at the bottom of both sides of the installation bracket 4. A water receiving pan 6 is inserted into the inside of the installation groove 5. A filter plate 7 is provided inside the water receiving pan 6. A circular notch 8 is opened at the bottom of the water receiving pan 6. A filter pipe 9 is inserted into the circular notch 8. A water outlet pipe 10 is sleeved below the filter pipe 9.
[0023] Specifically, the mounting bracket 4 is installed on the wall at the bottom of the air conditioner outdoor unit via the mounting plate 1. The mounting bracket 4 and the mounting plate 1 are connected by a connecting rod 2. The connecting rod 2 is equipped with reinforcing ribs 3 to increase the strength and support of the connecting rod 2. The locking mechanism 11 allows the water tray 6 to be detached from the mounting bracket 4. During cleaning or maintenance, the water tray 6 can be quickly removed, which greatly improves the convenience of disassembly. The double-sided filtration of the filter plate 7 and the filter tube 9 can effectively prevent impurities and garbage flying in from outdoors from entering the water pipe and causing blockage.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 5A first fixing block 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 4. A locking block 111 is slidably connected inside the first fixing block 12. A first abutment 112 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the locking block 111. A first compression spring 113 is fixedly connected to both sides of the first abutment 112. A lever 114 is fixedly connected to the exposed end of the locking block 111. A sliding groove 13 is provided between the first fixing block 12 and the mounting groove 5. The size of the sliding groove 13 is adapted to the size of the locking block 111. A second compression spring 14 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove 5 on the other side of the mounting bracket 4. A second abutment 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the second compression spring 14. The second abutment 15 is triangular in shape.
[0025] Specifically, a locking mechanism 11 is set on one side and a triangular abutment is set on the other side, which allows one person to complete the operation during installation or disassembly. The locking block 111 slides inside the first fixing block 12. The sliding groove 13 opened between the first fixing block 12 and the mounting groove 5 allows the locking block 111 to move smoothly and prevent it from deviating in direction. The size of the first abutment 112 is larger than the size of the sliding groove 13, which can lock the locking block 111 and prevent it from falling out of the first fixing block 12.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A second fixing block 16 is fixedly connected to the position where the water receiving tray 6 is inserted into the mounting groove 5. A first slot 17 is provided on the side of the second fixing block 16 near the locking mechanism 11. The first slot 17 is adapted to the slot block 111. A third fixing block 18 is fixedly connected to the position where the water receiving tray 6 is inserted into the mounting groove 5 on the other side. A second slot 23 is provided on the side of the third fixing block 18 near the second abutment 15. The second slot 23 is adapted to the second abutment 15.
[0027] Specifically, the shapes of the second slot 23 and the second abutment 15 are designed such that when the third fixing block 18 presses the second abutment 15, the triangular shape of the second abutment 15 can cleverly press it open, allowing it to fit into the second slot 23. Furthermore, because the shapes of the second slot 23 and the second abutment 15 are compatible, when the water tray 6 is removed, the pressure inside the second slot 23 can easily press the second abutment 15 open, allowing it to disengage from the second slot 23 and thus remove the water tray 6.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 5 Limiting blocks 19 are provided around the inside of the water receiving tray 6. Limiting rods 20 are fixedly connected above each limiting block 19. Circular slots 21 are provided around the bottom of the filter plate 7. The circular slots 21 fit into the limiting rods 20. Handles 22 are fixedly connected to the upper sides of the filter plate 7. The filter tube 9 is placed through the circular notch 8 at the bottom of the water receiving tray 6. After the filter tube 9 is placed, it is flush with the inside of the water receiving tray 6.
[0029] Specifically, when the filter plate 7 is placed in, the circular slot 21 at the bottom of the filter plate 7 can be inserted into the upper part of the limiting rod 20 set around the water receiving tray 6. The limiting block 19 can also support the filter plate 7 well, so that it is placed stably inside the water receiving tray 6. The filter plate 7 can be easily lifted or lowered by the handles 22 fixedly connected to the upper two sides of the filter plate 7. The filter tube 9 is placed at the bottom of the water receiving tray 6 through the circular notch 8. After being placed in, the filter tube 9 is flush with the inside of the water receiving tray 6, so as to better filter water and avoid the filter tube 9 being higher than the inside of the water receiving tray 6, causing water accumulation.
[0030] In use, the unit is installed on the wall below the outdoor unit of the air conditioner via the mounting plate 1. The filter tube 9 is inserted into the circular notch 8. Holding the handle 22, the circular slot 21 at the bottom of the filter plate 7 is engaged with the upper part of the limiting rod 20, allowing the limiting block 19 to support the filter plate 7. One hand holds the water tray 6, while the other hand pulls the lever 114 to move the locking block 111, thereby causing the first abutment block 112 to compress the first compression spring 113, disengaging the locking block 111 from the mounting groove 5. Lifting the water tray 6 causes the second fixing block 16 to engage inside the mounting groove 5. At this point, the lever 114 is released, and the elastic force of the first compression spring 113 releases the locking block 111, allowing it to reset and insert into the first slot 17. Simultaneously, the third fixing block 18 presses upward. This causes the second abutment 15 of the triangular structure to be compressed, which in turn compresses the second compression spring 14. When the third fixing block 18 is pushed to the top, the second slot 23 engages with the second abutment 15, releasing the pressure of the second compression spring 14 and causing the second abutment 15 to engage inside the second slot 23, thus fixing the water tray. When it needs to be removed, hold the water tray 6 with one hand and pull the lever 114 with the other hand to pull the lever 111 outward, thus disengaging it from the first slot 17. When both hands hold the water tray 6, the second slot 23 compresses the second abutment 15, causing the second abutment 15 to disengage from the second slot 23, thus disengaging the water tray 6 from the mounting bracket 4. When the filter plate 7 needs to be cleaned, simply hold the handles 22 on both sides of the filter plate 7 with both hands and lift the filter plate 7 out.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
