Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioner technology, and in particular to a water tray and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] When an air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the air is cooled by the evaporator, and the moisture in the air condenses into water droplets. A drip tray is located below the evaporator to collect these droplets. When the water level in the drip tray reaches a certain point, the water pump starts and drains the water. However, in some cases, foreign objects inevitably accumulate in the drip tray. To prevent these foreign objects from entering the water pump and causing blockages, a filter structure needs to be installed in the drip tray to remove foreign objects from the condensate that is about to enter the pump.

[0003] The filter structure in related technologies only has a filtering function. As the air conditioner runs for longer periods, foreign objects gradually accumulate in the filter structure, easily leading to clogging. If the clogging is not detected in time and the filter structure in the drip tray is not cleaned, the condensate in the drip tray cannot drain smoothly. The water level in the drip tray gradually increases, causing condensate to overflow and resulting in quality problems such as leaks.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem that the filter structure of the water receiving tray in related technologies is easily clogged has become an important technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a water receiving tray and an air conditioner to solve the defect that the filter structure of the water receiving tray in the related technology is easily clogged.

[0006] This utility model provides a water receiving tray, comprising:

[0007] The drip tray body has a drip area and a drain area. The drip area is suitable for collecting condensate, and the drain area is connected to the drip area and is suitable for draining the condensate in the drip area.

[0008] A filter assembly is disposed at the connection between the water receiving area and the drainage area. The filter assembly is adapted to filter out foreign matter in the condensate when the condensate in the water receiving area enters the drainage area. A shredding blade is formed on the side of the filter assembly facing the water receiving area.

[0009] With this design, as condensate flows from the receiving area to the drainage area, the filter assembly filters the condensate. The filtered impurities are broken down and dispersed by the water flow, reducing their particle size until they can pass through the filter assembly. This prevents large particles from entering the drainage area and clogging the water pump, and also prevents the accumulation of impurities in the filter assembly, thus avoiding clogging. It also features a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for periodic disassembly and cleaning of the receiving tray, and solving the problem of easy clogging of the filter structure in related technologies.

[0010] According to the present invention, a water receiving tray is provided, wherein the water receiving area and the drainage area have a connecting area, and the filter assembly includes:

[0011] The diversion block is provided in at least two groups, and each group of diversion blocks is distributed along the extension direction of the connecting area. The two adjacent groups of diversion blocks are staggered, and a flow channel is formed between any two adjacent diversion blocks. The breaking blade is located on the side of the diversion block facing the water receiving area.

[0012] In this configuration, the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel represents the smallest particle of foreign matter it can filter out. Condensate and small particles within it can pass through the flow channel. The cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel, which is the distance between two adjacent diversion blocks, needs to be determined based on the size of the largest particle that the pump can discharge. The breaker blade is located on the side of the diversion block facing the water receiving area. As condensate flows from one diversion block to the next, it is diverted, and during this diversion, foreign matter in the condensate collides and impacts with the breaker blade.

[0013] According to the present invention, a water receiving tray is provided, wherein the diversion block has a first guide surface and a second guide surface, both of which are set at an angle to the extension direction of the connecting area, and the end of the first guide surface near the water receiving area and the end of the second guide surface near the water receiving area intersect to form the breaking blade.

[0014] With this configuration, after the foreign objects are broken up at the breaking edge, they flow to the next group of flow blocks under the action of the first and second guiding surfaces. This facilitates the interaction between the broken foreign objects and the breaking edge of the next group of flow blocks, so as to break them up again.

[0015] According to the present invention, the angle between the first guide surface and the second guide surface is an acute angle.

[0016] This design ensures both the structural strength of the breaker blade and its sharpness, as well as the flow rate of condensate.

[0017] According to the present invention, in each group of diversion blocks, the diversion blocks located at both ends along their distribution direction are end diversion blocks; in two adjacent groups of diversion blocks, the one with the larger distance between the end diversion block and the sidewall of the connecting area is the first group of diversion blocks, and the other is the second group of diversion blocks;

[0018] The filtering component also includes:

[0019] A flow guide block is disposed between the end flow divider of the first component flow divider block and the sidewall of the connecting area. The flow guide block has a third flow guide surface on the side away from the end flow divider block. The distance between the third flow guide surface and the sidewall of the connecting area gradually increases along the direction from upstream to downstream of the connecting area. The end of the third flow guide surface near the second component flow divider block extends toward the breaking edge of the end flow divider of the second component flow divider block.

[0020] With this configuration, even if the flow channel between the first and second component flow blocks is blocked by foreign objects, condensate can still pass through the gap between the guide block and the side wall of the connecting area. The third guide surface can guide this portion of condensate to the breaking edge position of the second component flow block, generating a reverse impact on the foreign object. After the foreign object leaves the breaking edge of the second component flow block, it will flow back to the second component flow block under the impact of the water flow and interact with the breaking edge again. This process repeats, breaking up and dispersing the foreign object.

[0021] According to the present invention, a water receiving tray is provided, wherein the diversion block is provided in at least two layers, and the diversion block in each layer is distributed along the depth direction of the water receiving tray body.

[0022] With this design, given a fixed depth of the water receiving tray, the size of the flow channel along the depth direction of the water receiving tray can be reduced, thereby further reducing the particle size of foreign objects that can pass through the flow channel and reducing the possibility of the water pump being blocked.

[0023] According to the present invention, a water receiving tray is provided in which the diversion block is integrally formed with the body of the water receiving tray.

[0024] This design simplifies and avoids the design of the connection structure between the diversion block and the water receiving tray, and ensures a stable connection between the diversion block and the water receiving tray.

[0025] According to the present invention, a water receiving tray is provided in which the distance between the bottom wall of the drainage area and the open end of the water receiving tray body along the depth direction of the water receiving tray body is the depth of the drainage area, and the distance between the bottom wall of the water receiving area and the open end of the water receiving tray body is the depth of the water receiving area, and the depth of the drainage area is greater than the depth of the water receiving area.

[0026] With this configuration, when the water tray is in use, the open end of the water tray body faces upwards, and the bottom wall of the drainage area is lower than the bottom wall of the water receiving area. This allows the condensate in the water receiving area to flow smoothly into the drainage area, preventing the condensate from stagnating in the water receiving area.

[0027] According to the present invention, in a water receiving tray, among any two locations on the bottom wall of the water receiving area, the depth of the one closer to the drainage area is greater than the depth of the other.

[0028] With this configuration, when the water tray is in use, the bottom wall of the water receiving area is inclined, with the bottom wall of the part of the water receiving area that is relatively far from the drainage area having a larger height, and the bottom wall of the part of the water receiving area that is relatively close to the drainage area having a smaller height. This allows the condensate in the water receiving area to flow smoothly to the drainage area, avoiding the stagnation of condensate in the water receiving area.

[0029] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including the aforementioned water tray.

[0030] With this configuration, the air conditioner has a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for periodic disassembly and cleaning of the drip tray, making maintenance convenient.

[0031] The water receiving tray provided by this utility model includes a tray body and a filter assembly. The tray body has a water receiving area and a drainage area. The water receiving area is used to collect condensate, and the drainage area is connected to the water receiving area, allowing condensate in the water receiving area to flow to the drainage area. The drainage area is used to discharge the condensate in the water receiving area. The filter assembly is located at the connection between the water receiving area and the drainage area. The filter assembly is used to filter out foreign objects in the condensate as it enters the drainage area. A breaking blade is formed on the side of the filter assembly facing the water receiving area. When the condensate passes through the filter assembly, foreign objects are broken and dispersed by the impact of the water flow. With this configuration, as the condensate flows from the water receiving area to the drainage area, the filter assembly filters the condensate, and the filtered foreign objects are broken and dispersed by the impact of the water flow, reducing the particle size of the foreign objects until they can pass through the filter assembly. It avoids large particles from entering the drainage area, thus preventing water pump blockage, and also prevents the accumulation of foreign objects in the filter components, thus preventing filter component blockage. It has a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for regular disassembly and cleaning of the water tray, reducing maintenance costs, and solving the problem of easy clogging of the filter structure of the water tray in related technologies.

[0032] Furthermore, the air conditioner provided by this utility model has the same advantages as described above because it has a water tray as described above. Attached Figure Description

[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0043] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes the water receiving tray.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the water receiving tray provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes a water receiving tray body 1 and a filter assembly 4.

[0045] Specifically, the drip tray body 1 has a drip area 2 and a drain area 3. The drip area 2 is used to collect condensate, and the drain area 3 is connected to the drip area 2, allowing the condensate in the drip area 2 to flow to the drain area 3. The drain area 3 is used to drain the condensate in the drip area 2.

[0046] The filter assembly 4 is located at the connection between the water receiving area 2 and the drainage area 3. The filter assembly 4 is used to filter out foreign objects in the condensate when the condensate from the water receiving area 2 enters the drainage area 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the water receiving area 2 is annular, and the drainage area 3 is located outside the water receiving area 2 and is connected to the water receiving area 2. In this case, two filter components 4 can be provided, located on both sides of the position where the water receiving area 2 connects to the drainage area 3, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 3 .

[0048] The filter assembly 4 has a breaking blade 5 on the side facing the water receiving area 2. When the condensate water passes through the filter assembly 4, foreign objects will interact with the breaking blade 5 under the impact of the water flow, thereby breaking and scattering the foreign objects.

[0049] With this configuration, when condensate in the receiving area 2 flows to the drainage area 3, the filter assembly 4 can filter the condensate. The filtered foreign matter is broken down and dispersed under the impact of the water flow, reducing the particle size until it can pass through the filter assembly 4. This prevents large particles from entering the drainage area 3, avoiding pump blockage, and also prevents the accumulation of foreign matter in the filter assembly 4, thus preventing clogging. It also has a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for periodic disassembly and cleaning of the receiving tray, reducing maintenance costs, and solving the problem of easy clogging of the filter structure in the receiving tray in related technologies.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, there is a connecting area between the water receiving area 2 and the drainage area 3, and the filter component 4 is disposed in the connecting area.

[0051] The filter assembly 4 includes a diversion block 6, which is provided in at least two groups, with each group of diversion blocks 6 distributed along the extension direction of the connected area.

[0052] The two adjacent flow blocks 6 are staggered, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 as well as Figures 4 to 6 A flow channel is formed between any two adjacent diversion blocks 6. The cross-section of the flow channel is perpendicular to its extension direction, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel represents the smallest particle of foreign matter it can filter out. Condensate and small particles in the condensate can pass through the flow channel. The cross-sectional area of ​​the flow channel, which is the distance between two adjacent diversion blocks 6, needs to be determined based on the size of the largest particle that the water pump can discharge.

[0053] The breaking blade 5 is located on the side of the diversion block 6 facing the water receiving area 2. When the condensate flows from one diversion block 6 to the next diversion block 6, it will be diverted. During the diversion, foreign objects in the condensate will collide and impact with the breaking blade 5.

[0054] In this embodiment, the diversion block 6 has a first guide surface 7 and a second guide surface 8. Both the first guide surface 7 and the second guide surface 8 are set at an angle to the extension direction of the connecting area. The end of the first guide surface 7 near the water receiving area 2 and the end of the second guide surface 8 near the water receiving area 2 intersect to form a breaking blade 5.

[0055] After the foreign object is broken up at the breaking blade 5, it flows to the next group of flow blocks 6 under the action of the first guide surface 7 and the second guide surface 8. This facilitates the interaction between the broken foreign object and the breaking blade 5 of the next group of flow blocks 6, so as to break it up again.

[0056] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the diversion block 6 can be triangular or V-shaped. The cross-section of the diversion block 6 is perpendicular to the depth direction of the water receiving tray body 1.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the angle between the first guide surface 7 and the second guide surface 8 is an acute angle. At this time, both the structural strength of the breaking blade 5 and the sharpness of the breaking blade 5 and the flow rate of the condensate can be maintained.

[0058] Specifically, the angle between the first guide surface 7 and the second guide surface 8 is 45 degrees.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the diversion blocks 6 located at both ends along their distribution direction in each diversion block 6 are end diversion blocks. Among two adjacent diversion blocks 6, the one with a larger distance between the end diversion block and the sidewall of the connecting area is the first diversion block, and the other is the second diversion block.

[0060] The filter assembly 4 also includes a flow guide block 9, which is disposed between the end flow divider of the first component flow divider and the sidewall of the connecting zone. The side of the flow guide block 9 away from the end flow divider has a third flow guide surface 10, and the distance between the third flow guide surface 10 and the sidewall of the connecting zone gradually increases in the direction from upstream to downstream of the connecting zone. The end of the third flow guide surface 10 near the second component flow divider extends toward the breaking edge 5 of the end flow divider of the second component flow divider.

[0061] like Figure 6As shown, when the flow channel between the first and second component flow blocks is blocked by foreign objects, condensate can still pass through the gap between the guide block 9 and the side wall of the connecting area. The third guide surface 10 can guide this part of the condensate to the position of the breaking edge 5 of the second component flow block, generating a reverse impact on the foreign object. After the foreign object leaves the breaking edge 5 of the second component flow block, it will flow back to the second component flow block under the impact of the water flow and interact with the breaking edge 5. This process is repeated to break up and disperse the foreign object.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, two sets of diversion blocks 6 can be provided. The first set of diversion blocks includes one more diversion block 6 than the second set of diversion blocks 6. A guide block 9 is provided at each end of the first set of diversion blocks. The second set of diversion blocks includes at least two diversion blocks 6, and the number of diversion blocks 6 included in the second set of diversion blocks is determined according to the size of the connected region.

[0063] Specifically, the first group of diversion blocks includes one diversion block 6, the second group of diversion blocks includes two diversion blocks 6, and a guide block 9 is provided at each end of the first group of diversion blocks, as shown in the figure. Figure 2 .

[0064] In some embodiments, at least two layers of diversion blocks 6 can be provided, with each layer of diversion blocks 6 distributed along the depth direction of the water receiving pan body 1. The crushing blades 5 of adjacent layers of diversion blocks 6 are staggered. In this way, when the depth of the water receiving pan body 1 is constant, it is beneficial to reduce the size of the flow channel along the depth direction of the water receiving pan body 1, so as to further reduce the particle size of foreign objects that can pass through the flow channel and reduce the possibility of water pump blockage.

[0065] In this embodiment of the utility model, the diversion block 6 and the water receiving tray body 1 are integrally formed, which simplifies and avoids the design of the connection structure between the diversion block 6 and the water receiving tray body 1, and the connection between the diversion block 6 and the water receiving tray body 1 is stable.

[0066] In this embodiment of the present invention, along the depth direction of the water receiving tray body 1, the distance between the bottom wall of the drainage area 3 and the open end of the water receiving tray body 1 is the depth of the drainage area, and the distance between the bottom wall of the water receiving area 2 and the open end of the water receiving tray body 1 is the depth of the water receiving area. The depth of the drainage area is greater than the depth of the water receiving area.

[0067] In other words, when the water receiving tray is in use, the open end of the water receiving tray body 1 is set upwards, and the bottom wall of the drainage area 3 is lower than the bottom wall of the water receiving area 2, so that the condensate in the water receiving area 2 can flow smoothly to the drainage area 3, and avoid the condensate from stagnating in the water receiving area 2.

[0068] In this embodiment, at any two points on the bottom wall of the water receiving area 2, the depth of the point closer to the drainage area 3 is greater than the depth of the other point. Understandably, when the water tray is in use, the bottom wall of the water receiving area 2 is inclined, with the lower part of the bottom wall in the water receiving area 2 that is relatively farther from the drainage area 3 having a greater height, and the lower part of the bottom wall in the water receiving area 2 that is relatively closer to the drainage area 3 having a smaller height. This allows the condensate from the water receiving area 2 to flow smoothly to the drainage area 3, preventing condensate from stagnating in the water receiving area 2.

[0069] In this embodiment of the invention, a drain outlet 11 is provided in the drainage zone 3. The drain outlet 11 is used to connect the drain pipe and the water pump so that the condensate in the drainage zone 3 can be discharged outward. The drain outlet 11 is located at the lowest point of the drainage zone 3, which allows the condensate in the drainage zone 3 to be discharged smoothly and avoids the condensate from stagnating in the drainage zone 3.

[0070] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also provides an air conditioner including the drip tray provided in any of the above embodiments. The drip tray provided in any of the above embodiments not only prevents large particles of foreign matter from entering the drainage area 3, thus avoiding the problem of water pump blockage, but also prevents the accumulation of foreign matter at the filter assembly 4, thus avoiding the problem of filter assembly 4 blockage, and has a self-cleaning function. Therefore, the air conditioner provided in this embodiment has a self-cleaning function, eliminating the need for periodic disassembly and cleaning of the drip tray, and has the advantages of convenient maintenance and low maintenance cost. The derivation process of the beneficial effects of the air conditioner in this utility model embodiment is largely similar to the derivation process of the beneficial effects of the drip tray described above, so it will not be repeated here.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
