Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an external condensate evaporator for air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] As the usage of air conditioners continues to rise, the problem of condensate water generated during their operation has become increasingly prominent. According to statistics, a typical household air conditioner can generate several liters of condensate water per day, and the amount of condensate water generated by air conditioning systems in large commercial buildings is even more considerable. Currently, most air conditioners adopt the method of directly discharging condensate water, which not only wastes water resources but may also cause a series of environmental problems, such as water stains on the exterior walls of buildings and slippery ground with moss growth.

[0003] Although some air conditioners are equipped with condensate evaporation devices, there are still many problems. On the one hand, the evaporation efficiency is low, and the internal structure design is unreasonable, which makes the contact between condensate and hot air insufficient, and the heat cannot be effectively utilized, making it difficult to meet the actual demand for efficient condensate treatment. On the other hand, there is a lack of effective maintenance mechanisms. During long-term use, dust and impurities easily accumulate in the heat dissipation components inside the evaporator, which leads to a decrease in heat exchange efficiency and further reduces evaporation performance. At the same time, frequent manual cleaning increases maintenance costs and inconvenience of use.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided an external condensate evaporator for air conditioning to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0006] An external condensate evaporator for an air conditioner includes a housing. An evaporation mechanism is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, and a dust removal mechanism is movably connected to one side of the evaporation mechanism. An exhaust mechanism is movably connected to the top of the housing. The evaporation mechanism includes a dust cover, one side of which is fixedly connected to the housing. A fan is movably connected to the other side of the dust cover, and a heat dissipation pipe is provided on the other side of the fan. The top of the heat dissipation pipe is fixedly connected to the housing, and the bottom of the heat dissipation pipe penetrates the inner cavity of the housing and extends to the bottom of the housing. Heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the surface of the heat dissipation pipe. A water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the other side of the housing, one end of which penetrates the surface of the housing and extends to the inner cavity of the housing. A baffle plate is provided on one side of the heat dissipation fins, and the bottom of the baffle plate is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0007] Optionally, the dust removal mechanism includes a housing, one side of which is fixedly connected to a box, and a motor is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the housing. The output end of the motor passes through the inner cavity of the housing and is fixedly connected to a drive gear. A gear is meshed with one side of the drive gear. The inner side of the gear is movably connected to a dust cover through a bearing. A brush rod is movably connected to the surface of the gear rod. A brush is fixedly connected to one side of the brush rod, and the other side of the brush rod is engaged with the gear rod.

[0008] Optionally, the exhaust mechanism includes a lead screw, one side of which is movably connected to the housing via a bearing. A toothed plate is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw, one side of which is slidably connected to the housing. A driven gear meshes with the top of the toothed plate, and an adjusting plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the driven gear. Both sides of the adjusting plate are movably connected to the housing via bearings.

[0009] Optionally, a temperature sensor is provided at the bottom of the adjustment plate, and one side of the temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0010] Optionally, a heating tube is provided at the bottom of the temperature sensor, and one side of the heating tube is fixedly connected to the housing.

[0011] Optionally, a return pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, a water pump is fixedly connected to the surface of the return pipe, and the other end of the return pipe is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe.

[0012] Optionally, a locking block is fixedly connected to one end of the brush rod, and a locking groove is opened on one side of the toothed disc surface, with one side of the locking block engaging with the locking groove.

[0013] Optionally, a friction sleeve is provided on the surface of the card block, and one side of the friction sleeve is fixedly connected to the toothed disc.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The unique structural design of the baffle plate in this utility model cleverly divides the interior of the housing into multiple tortuous flow channels, greatly extending the flow path of condensate within the housing. When condensate enters the housing, it must slowly move along these winding channels, significantly increasing the contact time with hot air during this process, thus enabling more efficient heat absorption. The top of the heat dissipation pipe is connected to the air compressor of the air conditioner, introducing the high-temperature exhaust gas generated during the compressor's operation into the housing cavity. These high-temperature gases, originally considered exhaust gases, contain a large amount of heat energy. Through the heat dissipation pipe, they can provide sufficient heat for the evaporation of condensate, achieving efficient recovery and utilization of waste heat from the air conditioning system. At the same time, the fan introduces outside air into the housing, allowing it to fully contact the hot air emitted by the heat dissipation pipe, further increasing the air temperature. Furthermore, the uniform diffusion effect of the heat dissipation fins ensures that heat is evenly distributed within the housing cavity.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses a motor-driven drive gear to rotate the gear disc, enabling the brush rod and brush to move in a circular motion around the dust cover. This thoroughly cleans the dust and debris on the surface of the dust cover, effectively preventing the heat exchange efficiency from decreasing due to dust cover blockage. This ensures the long-term stable and efficient operation of the evaporator. Regular automatic cleaning of the dust cover also reduces the amount of dust entering the evaporator and corroding key components such as heat dissipation pipes and fins, thus reducing the equipment failure rate.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

An exhaust mechanism 4 is movably connected to one side of the top of the housing 1. The evaporation mechanism 2 includes a dust cover 201. One side of the dust cover 201 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the other side of the dust cover 201 is movably connected to a fan 202. A heat dissipation pipe 203 is provided on the other side of the fan 202.

A baffle plate 206 is provided on one side of the heat dissipation fins 204, and the bottom of the baffle plate 206 is fixedly connected to the housing 1.

[0027] In this embodiment: a humidity sensor is installed on the surface of the chamber 1, and the bottom of the inner cavity of the chamber 1 is designed to be inclined, so that the condensate that has not been completely evaporated can automatically flow to the side of the drainage component and quickly collect under the action of gravity, so as to avoid the formation of local water accumulation or stagnation in the chamber 1, effectively shorten the drainage time and improve the drainage efficiency. There are multiple heat dissipation fins 204, which are distributed in an array on the surface of the heat dissipation pipe 203, which greatly increases the contact area between the heat dissipation pipe 203 and the air, so that the heat is more evenly diffused in the evaporation chamber.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] Reference Figure 1-5The dust removal mechanism 3 includes a housing 301, one side of which is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A motor 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the housing 301. The output end of the motor 302 passes through the inner cavity of the housing 301 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 303. A gear 304 meshes with one side of the drive gear 303. The inner side of the gear 304 is movably connected to the dust cover 201 through a bearing. A brush rod 305 is movably connected to the surface of the gear 304. A brush 306 is fixedly connected to one side of the brush rod 305, and the other side of the brush rod 305 is engaged with the gear 304. The exhaust mechanism 4 includes a lead screw 401, one side of which is movably connected to the housing 1 through a bearing. A toothed plate 402 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 401. One side of the toothed plate 402 is slidably connected to the housing 1. The top of the toothed plate 402... A driven gear 403 is engaged with the gear 404. An adjusting plate 404 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the driven gear 403. Both sides of the adjusting plate 404 are movably connected to the housing 1 through bearings. A temperature sensor 5 is set at the bottom of the adjusting plate 404. One side of the temperature sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A heating tube 6 is set at the bottom of the temperature sensor 5. One side of the heating tube 6 is fixedly connected to the housing 1. A return pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. A water pump 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the return pipe 7. The other end of the return pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe 205. A locking block 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the brush rod 305. A slot 10 is opened on one side of the surface of the toothed disc 304. One side of the locking block 9 is engaged with the slot 10. A friction sleeve 11 is set on the surface of the locking block 9. One side of the friction sleeve 11 is fixedly connected to the toothed disc 304.

[0030] In this embodiment: a maintenance door is hinged to one side of the housing 301 to facilitate regular inspection or maintenance of the motor 302 by personnel. Multiple brushes 306 are arranged in an array on one side of the brush rod 305, significantly increasing the dust removal coverage area. Compared to a single or small number of brushes 306, this allows for comprehensive, all-around cleaning of the dust cover 201 surface without dead angles. Multiple adjusting plates 404 and driven gears 403 are present. Operators can precisely adjust the opening and closing degree of the adjusting plates 404 by controlling the rotation angle and number of turns of the lead screw 401 according to actual needs, achieving fine control of the exhaust volume. The exhaust mechanism 4, in conjunction with a humidity sensor, can reduce the exhaust volume when humidity is high. A temperature sensor... Device 5 is used to detect the temperature inside the chamber 1 in real time. Heating tube 6 is used to assist in the evaporation of condensate. Heating tube 6 works with temperature sensor 5. When the temperature is low, heating tube 6 can be turned on to heat the air, condensate and related components inside the chamber 1. Return pipe 7 can send the condensate inside the chamber 1 that has not been evaporated back to the water inlet pipe 205 through water pump 8. The setting of the locking block 9 and the locking groove 10 allows the brush rod 305 to be removed from the toothed disc 304 when not in use, so as to avoid blocking the air inlet hole on the dust cover 201 and thus affecting the evaporation efficiency. Friction sleeve 11 can increase the friction between the locking block 9 and the toothed disc 304 to prevent the brush rod 305 from disengaging from the toothed disc 304 when the toothed disc 304 is rotating.

[0031] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, one end of the heat dissipation pipe 203 is connected to the air compressor of the air conditioner. When the waste heat gas passes through the heat dissipation pipe 203 and passes through the inside of the box 1, the fan 202 starts to introduce the outside air into the inner cavity of the box 1. After the air comes into contact with the heat dissipation pipe 203, it forms hot air, which is then evenly diffused into the inner cavity of the box 1 through the heat dissipation fins 204. Meanwhile, the condensate flows into the bottom of the inner cavity of the box 1 through the water inlet pipe 205. The condensate is divided by the baffle plate 206 and flows along the wall of the baffle plate 206 to increase the contact time between the condensate and the hot air. The steam formed is discharged through the exhaust holes between the top adjustment plates 404. Because the bottom of the box 1 is tilted, the unevaporated condensate enters the return pipe 7 through the water outlet. The return pipe 7 transports the condensate through the water pump 8. The water is returned to the inlet pipe 205 for secondary evaporation. When the dust cover 201 needs cleaning, the motor 302 is started. The motor 302 drives the drive gear 303 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear plate 304 to rotate. The gear plate 304 drives the brush rod 305 to rotate, and the brush rod 305 drives the brush 306 to rotate, thus cleaning the surface of the dust cover 201 without any dead angles. When the humidity inside the chamber 1 is too high, it indicates that the evaporation efficiency is insufficient. The lead screw 401 can be rotated, which drives the toothed plate 402 to move. The toothed plate 402 drives the driven gear 403 to rotate, and the driven gear 403 drives the adjusting plate 404 to rotate, reducing the exhaust port area and slowing down the gas flow rate. This allows the hot air to exchange heat with the condensate for a longer time inside the chamber, improving the evaporation effect.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
