Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioning, and more particularly to a disassembly and assembly structure for a water tray component and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] The condensate tray assembly is a detachable functional unit in an air conditioning system, consisting of the tray body, mounting bracket, mounting plate, and evaporator. Its core function is to collect condensate from the evaporator surface and guide it out, while also providing mechanical support and positioning for the evaporator, enabling quick assembly with the air conditioning unit housing. The condensate tray assembly is ultimately assembled to the air conditioning unit housing using screws.

[0003] However, this structure, which relies on traditional screw fastening, has significant drawbacks. Installing or disassembling the entire water tray assembly requires tightening or loosening multiple screws, making the process cumbersome and time-consuming, and necessitating the use of specific screwdrivers or wrenches. Crucially, because the water tray assembly needs frequent disassembly throughout the equipment's lifespan, the screw connections are repeatedly subjected to tightening and loosening stress, making them highly susceptible to thread stripping. Once the threads strip, the connection fails, the screws cannot be reliably secured, severely impacting the stability of the water tray assembly and potentially causing safety hazards such as leaks, abnormal noises, or component detachment, thus reducing product reliability and lifespan.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a more convenient, efficient and reliable disassembly and assembly structure to solve the problems of inconvenience, time and labor, strong tool dependence and thread failure caused by the existing screw fixing method. Utility Model Content

[0040] Example 1

[0041] Please refer to Figures 1-8 The present application provides a disassembly and assembly structure for a water tray component, which is used to detachably install the water tray component on the air conditioner housing 15, including:

[0042] The first guide rail 1 is mounted on the air conditioner housing 15; the two ends of the first guide rail 1 are the pre-installation position 11 and the fixed position 12, respectively.

[0043] The slider assembly includes at least a limiting member, which is slidably connected to the first guide rail 1 and can reciprocate between the pre-installation position 11 and the fixed position 12, and undertakes the limiting and fixing functions of the docking water tray component.

[0044] The second guide rail 2 is disposed on the water receiving tray component. The second guide rail 2 includes: a first through hole 21 corresponding to the pre-installation position 11 and a second through hole 22 corresponding to the fixed position 12; the diameter of the first through hole 21 is larger than the diameter of the limiting member.

[0045] When the limiting member is in the pre-installation position 11, the limiting member is inserted into the first through hole 21; when the limiting member slides to the fixed position 12, the limiting member engages with the second through hole 22.

[0046] Specifically, in some embodiments, the first through hole 21 is a circular structure and its diameter is larger than that of the limiting member. This structure allows the limiting member to pass smoothly through the first through hole 21, thereby realizing the connection between the air conditioner housing 15 and the water tray component, providing convenient assembly conditions for the installation of the water tray component.

[0047] Working principle: When installing the water tray component, the limiting member is in the pre-installation position 11, the second guide rail 2 is aligned with the first guide rail 1, and the limiting member is inserted into the first through hole 21; then the limiting member is slid to the fixed position 12, at which point the limiting member engages with the second through hole 22 to fix the water tray component and the air conditioner housing 15; when disassembling the water tray component, the limiting member is slid to the pre-installation position 11, and the water tray component can be easily removed; this application, through the cooperation of the first guide rail 1, the slider assembly and the second guide rail 2, abandons the traditional screw fixing method. When installing or disassembling the water tray component, there is no need to frequently operate multiple screws or rely on specific tools, simplifying the operation process and saving time; at the same time, it avoids problems such as thread stripping and connection failure caused by repeated stress at the connection due to frequent disassembly, ensuring the stability of the water tray component installation, reducing safety hazards such as water leakage, abnormal noise, and component loosening, improving product reliability and service life, and effectively solving a series of drawbacks caused by existing screw fixing.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first guide rail 1 includes a first section and a second section, the first section and the second section are arranged vertically, and one end of the first section and one end of the second section are connected. The end of the first section away from the second section is a pre-installation position 11, and the end of the second section away from the first section is a fixed position 12.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first guide rail 1 is composed of a first section and a second section. In this embodiment, the first section extends horizontally and the second section extends vertically, that is, the first section and the second section are vertically connected. The end of the first section away from the second section is the pre-installation position 11 for the initial assembly of the water tray component, which allows the limiting member to be initially aligned with the second guide rail 2 on the water tray component. The end of the second section away from the first section is the fixed position 12. When the limiting member slides along the first section to the turning point and continues to move along the second section to the fixed position 12, the limiting member cannot continue to move under the action of gravity, forming a stable engagement with the water tray component. With this vertically segmented guide rail structure, a clear path guide is provided for the installation of the water tray component, and the limiting fixation after assembly is achieved through structural turning. This adapts to the disassembly and assembly requirements of the water tray component in the limited space inside the air conditioner housing 15, improving the structural compactness and assembly reliability.

[0050] In some embodiments, the second guide rail 2 includes a third portion and a fourth portion, the third portion and the fourth portion are arranged perpendicularly, and one end of the third portion and one end of the fourth portion are connected. The end of the third portion away from the fourth portion has a first through hole 21; the end of the fourth portion away from the third portion has a second through hole 22.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, to adapt to the segmented vertical structure of the first guide rail 1, the second guide rail 2 also adopts a segmented design, consisting of a third section and a fourth section. The two are vertically arranged and connected to each other, forming a guide structure that matches the spatial shape of the first guide rail 1. The third section has a first through hole 21 at the end away from the fourth section, which is used to align with the sliding component at the pre-installation position 11 of the first guide rail 1 during the initial installation of the water tray component, so that the limiting component can be smoothly inserted. The fourth section has a second through hole 22 at the end away from the third section. When the limiting component slides along the first guide rail 1 to the fixed position 12, the second through hole 22 engages with the limiting component. With the help of the vertical layout of the third and fourth sections, the rotation guidance of the first guide rail 1 is accurately matched, ensuring that the water tray component can be stably and conveniently disassembled and assembled within the air conditioner housing 15, improving the spatial adaptability and connection reliability of the entire disassembly and assembly structure, making the installation positioning of the water tray component more accurate and the disassembly operation smoother.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first through hole 21 has a U-shaped structure.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first through hole 21 is a U-shaped structure. The U-shaped first through hole 21 can provide more insertion space. Compared with the conventional structure, it can make the limiting member easier to embed, adapt to installation scenarios with different size deviations, reduce the difficulty of alignment, and help the limiting member to be quickly inserted when assembling the water receiving tray component, thereby improving the ease of installation and structural adaptability.

[0054] In some embodiments, the limiting member includes a sliding part 4 and a limiting part 3. The sliding part 4 is inserted into the first guide rail 1 and is slidably connected to the first guide rail 1. The limiting part 3 is disposed at the end of the sliding part 4 away from the first guide rail 1 and is used to engage with the second through hole 22.

[0055] Specifically, the diameter of the second through hole 22 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting member; the guide rail between the second through hole 22 and the first through hole 21 is adapted to the sliding part 4;

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting member includes a sliding part 4 and a limiting part 3. The diameter of the limiting part 3 is larger than the diameter of the sliding part 4. The sliding part 4, as a structure that directly cooperates with the first guide rail 1, is installed inside the first guide rail 1 by insertion. With the help of its shape and size that are adapted to the first guide rail 1, it can slide smoothly along the first guide rail 1, providing a guiding basis for the displacement of the limiting member and the water receiving tray component. The limiting part 3 is located at the end of the sliding part 4 away from the first guide rail 1. When the water receiving tray component is installed, the limiting member is in the pre-installation position 11. The second guide rail 2 and the first guide rail 1 are in the pre-installation position 11. When the guide rail 1 is aligned, the limiting member is inserted into the first through hole 21; then, when the limiting member is slid to the fixed position 12, the limiting part 3 engages with the second through hole 22. Through mechanical engagement, the water tray component is fixed relative to the air conditioner housing 15, achieving reliable installation of the water tray component; during disassembly, the limiting member is slid in the opposite direction, and the limiting part 3 is released from engagement with the second through hole 22, facilitating the disassembly of the water tray component. This makes the entire disassembly and assembly process of the water tray component more coherent and stable, effectively ensuring the reliability of the water tray component's installation and fixation in the air conditioning system.

[0057] In some embodiments, an assembly gap is formed between the limiting part 3 and the air conditioner housing 15, and the width of the assembly gap matches the installation thickness of the water tray component.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting part 3 and the air conditioner housing 15 are not completely fitted together, forming an assembly gap between them. The width of the assembly gap is adapted to the installation thickness of the water tray component. When the water tray component is installed, this gap can accurately accommodate the corresponding part of the water tray component, providing a stable and fitted installation space for the water tray component. This ensures that the water tray component can be smoothly embedded, and the matching relationship between the gap and the installation thickness effectively constrains its installation position, avoiding problems such as loosening or displacement after installation. This makes the installation of the water tray component in the air conditioner housing 15 more stable, further improving the reliability and adaptability of the entire water tray component disassembly and assembly structure. It also ensures that the water tray component can maintain a good installation state even when faced with vibrations during air conditioner operation.

[0059] In some embodiments, the slider assembly further includes a snap-fit ​​connector, through which the sliding portion 4 is connected to the first guide rail 1.

[0060] Specifically, to further optimize the connection stability and assembly flexibility between the slider assembly and the first guide rail 1, the slider assembly also includes a snap-fit ​​component; the sliding part 4 is connected to the first guide rail 1 via the snap-fit ​​component; the sliding part 4 passes through the first guide rail 1 and is threadedly connected to the snap-fit ​​component, so that the sliding part 4 can be stably mounted on the first guide rail 1, while retaining the freedom to slide along the guide rail; this connection method not only simplifies the assembly process between the sliding assembly and the first guide rail 1, allowing for initial installation without the need for complex tools, but also provides reliable limiting and guiding for the sliding part 4 during the disassembly and assembly of the water tray component, effectively preventing the sliding part 4 from detaching or shaking from the first guide rail 1, improving the overall structural reliability of the slider assembly, and thus ensuring the smoothness and stability of the installation, fixing, and disassembly operations of the water tray component, making the mechanical performance of the entire disassembly and assembly structure better.

[0061] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​component includes a snap-fit ​​portion 6 and a connecting portion 7. The snap-fit ​​portion 6 is perpendicularly connected to the connecting portion 7. The sliding portion 4 passes through the first guide rail 1 and is threadedly connected to the connecting portion 7. The snap-fit ​​portion 6 is disposed on the side of the air conditioner housing 15 away from the limiting portion 3. The snap-fit ​​portion 6 is used to snap-fit ​​with the air conditioner housing 15.

[0062] Specifically, considering the issue of precisely controlling assembly clearances, such as Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component includes a snap-fit ​​part 6 and a connecting part 7, which are vertically connected. During assembly, the sliding part 4 passes through the first guide rail 1 and is threadedly connected to the connecting part 7. By adjusting the length of the connecting part 7, the assembly gap formed between the limiting part 3 and the air conditioner housing 15 can be precisely controlled. After the snap-fit ​​component and the limiting part are connected, the snap-fit ​​part 6 can snap-fit ​​with the air conditioner housing 15. At this time, the assembly gap between the limiting part 3 and the air conditioner housing 15 can accurately match the thickness of the corresponding installation position of the water tray component. This design scheme retains the detachability and adjustability of the connection structure, which is convenient for installation, debugging and subsequent maintenance. On the other hand, the unique structure of the snap-fit ​​component improves the stability and reliability of the water tray component's disassembly and assembly structure, ensuring that the water tray component can operate stably in the air conditioning system for a long time.

[0063] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​element is a nut 5, and the sliding part 4 passes through the first guide rail 1 and is threadedly connected to the nut 5.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component is a nut 5. When assembling the sliding assembly, the sliding part 4 has a suitable external thread structure. After passing through the first guide rail 1, it is threadedly connected to the nut 5, which serves as the snap-fit ​​component. This connection method utilizes the characteristics of threaded engagement. The assembly relationship between the sliding part 4 and the first guide rail 1 can be adjusted by tightening the nut 5. During the installation of the water tray component, the position and tightness of the slider assembly can be finely adjusted according to actual needs, providing a certain adjustment margin for the installation of the water tray component.

[0065] Example 2

[0068] The air conditioner housing 15 is provided with water tray brackets 14 on both sides along the first direction. There are two disassembly and assembly structures. The two water tray brackets 14 are connected to the fixed frame 10 through the corresponding disassembly and assembly structures. The first direction is parallel to the air conditioner housing 15.

[0069] Specifically, the evaporator 9, the drip tray body 8, the fixing bracket 10, and the mounting plate 13 are assembled together to form an integrated drip tray component. The evaporator 9 is located on the upper part of the drip tray body 8, which is used to collect the condensate generated on the surface of the evaporator 9 and guide it out. In this embodiment, the evaporator 9 and the drip tray body 8 are fixedly connected by screws. The fixing bracket 10 is located at the bottom of the drip tray body 8, and is fixedly connected to the drip tray body 8 by the mounting plate 13. The fixing bracket 10 is used to support and position the drip tray body 8. In this embodiment, the second guide rail 2 is located on the fixing bracket 10. Therefore, in this embodiment, the thickness of the assembly gap formed between the limiting part 3 and the air conditioner housing 15 matches the thickness of the fixing bracket 10.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, 'a' represents the first direction; in this embodiment, the first direction is the horizontal direction.

[0071] Specifically, the air conditioner housing 15 has symmetrically arranged water tray brackets 14 on opposite sides in the horizontal direction. Two sets of disassembly and assembly structures are respectively set between the corresponding water tray brackets 14 and the fixing frame 10 to form a double-sided synchronous locking mechanism. This layout ensures the structural stability of the water tray components under vibration conditions through distributed load-bearing design.
