Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning monitoring technology, specifically to an intelligent monitoring device for air conditioning pipeline faults. Background Technology

[0002] In modern air conditioning systems, the bottom of the indoor unit is usually equipped with a drip tray (also known as a condensate pan or water tank) to collect the condensate produced during the operation of the evaporator and drain it to the outside through a drain pipe. However, during long-term use or when not in use, dust, fibers, and other impurities can easily accumulate in the drain pipe and drip tray, causing poor drainage and even pipe blockage.

[0003] Because traditional air conditioners generally lack effective blockage detection functions, users often fail to detect drainage abnormalities in a timely manner. Problems are typically only discovered when condensate overflows, causing water seepage into walls, damage to furniture, waterlogging of floors, or even electrical short circuits or indoor mold growth. Existing detection methods largely rely on manual periodic inspections or pipe disassembly, which are cumbersome, inefficient, and unable to provide continuous, real-time monitoring.

[0004] When the drain pipe becomes clogged, the water level in the drip tray will continue to rise. If not addressed promptly, this will eventually lead to condensate overflow, causing a series of safety hazards and property damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can monitor the water accumulation in the drip tray of the indoor air conditioning unit in real time, providing timely warnings when blockages in the drain pipe cause water accumulation in the drip tray, effectively improving the reliability and safety of air conditioning operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent monitoring device for air conditioning pipeline faults, thereby improving the stability of air conditioning indoor units.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an intelligent monitoring device for air conditioning pipeline faults, including a water level monitoring component installed in a water tank at the bottom of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, a drain pipe installed on one side of the water tank, an alarm component connected to the outside of the water tank, an installation component connected to the alarm component, the installation component connected to the water tank, and the water level monitoring component connected to the alarm component.

[0007] Furthermore, the alarm component includes a housing and a main control board. The main control board is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing. The end of the water level monitoring component away from the water tank is connected to the top of the main control board. The mounting component is connected to one side of the housing. A buzzer and a power socket are welded onto the main control board. Both the buzzer and the power socket penetrate the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, the main control board is soldered with several warning lights, which extend through the side of the housing away from the mounting components.

[0009] Furthermore, a battery is installed inside the casing, and the battery is electrically connected to the main control board.

[0010] Furthermore, the mounting assembly includes two elastic U-shaped clips, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water level monitoring assembly. Both elastic U-shaped clips are clamped on the side wall of the water tank and are fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing.

[0011] Furthermore, the water level monitoring component includes a universal joint and two monitoring heads. One end of the universal joint is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, and the other end of the universal joint is fixedly connected to the two monitoring heads. Both monitoring heads are welded to the main control board after passing through the inner cavity of the universal joint with a power cable.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the end of the universal joint away from the housing, and both monitoring heads are located inside the protective cover.

[0013] Furthermore, through holes are provided on both sides of the protective cover near the universal joint.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This intelligent monitoring device for air conditioning pipe faults uses an installation component to fix the alarm device to the outside of the water tank, while simultaneously extending the water level monitoring component into the tank to monitor condensate accumulation in real time. When a blockage in the drain pipe causes the water level in the tank to rise, the system can promptly trigger the alarm component to issue an alert, reminding the user to clean and maintain the system. This design effectively prevents condensate overflow, avoiding problems such as wall seepage, furniture damage, and floor flooding, significantly improving the reliability and safety of air conditioning operation.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 5 An intelligent monitoring device for air conditioning pipeline faults includes a water level monitoring component 2 installed in a water tank 1 at the bottom of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, a drain pipe 11 installed on one side of the water tank 1, an alarm component 3 connected to the outside of the water tank 1, an installation component 4 connected to the alarm component 3, the installation component 4 connected to the water tank 1, and the water level monitoring component 2 connected to the alarm component 3.

[0019] The main improvement of this utility model lies in enhancing the reliability and safety of the air conditioner indoor unit, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the intelligent monitoring device for air conditioning pipe faults in this invention, when in use, uses the installation component 4 to fix the alarm component 3 to the outside of the water tank 1, and extends the water level monitoring component 2 into the water tank 1 to monitor in real time whether condensate accumulates in the water tank 1. When the air conditioning drain pipe 11 becomes blocked, causing the water level in the water tank 1 to rise, the water level monitoring component 2 can detect the water accumulation in time and trigger the alarm component 3 to issue an alarm, reminding the user that the water tank 1 has accumulated water and needs to be cleaned and maintained. This can effectively prevent water from overflowing due to excessive accumulation, avoiding problems such as wall seepage, furniture damage, and floor water damage, and significantly improving the reliability and safety of the air conditioning indoor unit. It should be noted that during installation, the alarm component 3 and the water level monitoring component 2 can be set at the end of the water tank 1 near the drain pipe 11 through the installation component 4, so that the water level monitoring component 2 is as close as possible to the drain outlet of the water tank 1. This allows for more accurate and faster monitoring and response in the early stages of water accumulation due to poor drainage, further improving the timeliness and accuracy of the warning.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the alarm component 3 includes a housing 31 and a main control board 32. The main control board 32 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 31. The end of the water level monitoring component 2 away from the water tank 1 is connected to the top of the main control board 32. The mounting component 4 is connected to one side of the housing 31. A buzzer 33 and a power socket 34 are welded onto the main control board 32. Both the buzzer 33 and the power socket 34 penetrate the housing 31. The housing 31 protects the main control board 32 and facilitates the connection of the power cord to the main control board 32 for power supply via the power socket 34. When water accumulation in the water tank 1 is detected, the buzzer 33 can be controlled by the main control board 32 to sound, thereby alerting the user that water accumulation has occurred in the water tank 1. The power socket 34 can be adapted to the power cord interface to supply power to the main control board 32.

[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the main control board 32 is soldered with several warning lights 36, which penetrate the housing 31 on the side away from the mounting component 4. By soldering multiple warning lights 36 onto the main control board 32, various circuit designs can be used to display the power supply status of the main control board 32 and the monitoring status of the water level monitoring component 2, etc., by observing the on / off state of the warning lights 36.

[0022] like Figure 5 As shown, a battery 35 is installed inside the housing 31, and the battery 35 is electrically connected to the main control board 32. Installing the battery 35 inside the housing 31 and using it to power the main control board 32 provides additional power for the water level monitoring process, improving the stability of the main control board 32's operation.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting assembly 4 includes two elastic U-shaped clips 41, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water level monitoring assembly 2. Both clips 41 are clamped onto the side wall of the water tank 1 and are fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 31. During installation, the two elastic U-shaped clips 41 on the back side of the housing 31 are clamped from the upper edge of the water tank 1 to the edge of the water tank 1, thus quickly completing the installation of the alarm assembly 3 on the side of the water tank 1.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the water level monitoring component 2 includes a universal joint 21 and two monitoring heads 22. One end of the universal joint 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 31, and the other end of the universal joint 21 is fixedly connected to the two monitoring heads 22. Both monitoring heads 22 are welded to the main control board 32 after passing through the inner cavity of the universal joint 21 with power cables. The two monitoring heads 22 can bend from the outside of the water tank 1 and extend into the inside of the water tank 1 through the universal joint 21, thereby monitoring the water accumulation inside the water tank 1. At the same time, the monitoring signal of the water accumulation can be transmitted to the main control board 32 inside the housing 31 through wires to achieve the purpose of water accumulation monitoring feedback. It should be noted that the two monitoring heads 22 can be electrode-type water level probes. Utilizing the conductivity of water, an alarm is triggered when water simultaneously contacts both monitoring heads 22. The specific circuit is not described in detail here.

[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a protective cover 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the universal joint 21 away from the housing 31, and both monitoring heads 22 are located inside the protective cover 23. The protective cover 23 is set on the outside of the two monitoring heads 22 to prevent the condensate from the indoor unit of the air conditioner from dripping onto the two monitoring heads 22 and causing water accumulation and misjudgment, so as to ensure that the monitoring heads 22 can monitor the water accumulation in the water tank 1 more accurately and stably.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the protective cover 23 has through holes 201 on both sides near the universal joint 21. When the water in the water tank 1 gradually rises and contacts the bottom opening of the protective cover 23, the air inside the protective cover 23 can be discharged through the through holes 201 as the water level rises, thus ensuring that the water can smoothly enter the protective cover 23 and come into contact with the two monitoring heads 22, thereby triggering the water accumulation alarm.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
