Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An air conditioner, or air conditioner, is a mechanical device that consists of four parts: a refrigeration (heating) circulation system, an air circulation and ventilation system, an electrical control system, and a housing. It maintains a certain temperature, humidity, airflow speed, cleanliness, and freshness of the air in the regulated space.

[0003] Air conditioners typically use axial fans to pump water to cool the condenser. However, since the condensate from the condenser mostly falls from the edge of the axial fan, the condensate that is pumped out by the axial fan basically flies out from the edge of the fan and cannot cool the condenser directly in front of the axial fan, resulting in poor cooling effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this utility model embodiment is to provide a water collection and diversion device and an air conditioner, which aims to improve the technical problem of poor water cooling effect of axial flow fans in the prior art.

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model provides a water collection and diversion device, which is installed in an air conditioner and located between the condenser and the water pumping fan of the air conditioner, comprising:

[0006] A water collection plate is disposed on the top of the condenser and located between the condenser and the water pumping fan;

[0007] A guide rib is provided on the side of the water collecting plate near the water pumping fan. The guide rib is configured to guide the condensate on the water collecting plate to the end of the guide rib near the water pumping fan. The orthographic projection of the end of the guide rib near the water pumping fan on the water pumping fan is located in the central area of ​​the fan blades of the water pumping fan.

[0008] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the drainage rib away from the water collecting plate has a drainage surface, and the distance between the drainage surface and the water collecting plate gradually increases from the end away from the water fan to the end closer to the water fan.

[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, the difference between the minimum and maximum distances between the drainage surface and the water collection plate is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm.

[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, the minimum distance between the drainage surface and the water collection plate is 4mm, and the maximum distance between the drainage surface and the water collection plate is 10mm.

[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, the side of the guide rib facing away from the water collecting plate also has a converging surface. The converging surface is connected to the end of the guide surface near the water pumping fan and is parallel to the water collecting plate. The orthogonal projection of the converging surface on the fan blade is located in the central region of the fan blade.

[0012] In some embodiments of this utility model, the distance between the confluence surface and the water collection plate is the maximum distance between the drainage surface and the water collection plate.

[0013] In some embodiments of this utility model, the distance between the confluence surface and the water collection plate is 10mm.

[0014] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water collection plate is provided with a plurality of drainage ribs, and the plurality of drainage ribs are equidistantly spaced along the length direction of the water collection plate.

[0015] In some embodiments of this utility model, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs is 8mm-12mm.

[0016] In some embodiments of this utility model, this utility model also provides an air conditioner, which includes the above-mentioned water collection and diversion device.

[0017] This utility model provides a water collection and diversion device and an air conditioner. The water collection and diversion device is disposed between the condenser and the water-discharging fan of the air conditioner. It includes a water collection plate and diversion ribs. By placing the water collection plate on the top of the condenser and between the condenser and the water-discharging fan, the water mist evaporated from the condenser is collected. At the same time, diversion ribs are provided on the water collection plate located between the condenser and the water-discharging fan. The diversion ribs guide the condensate on the water collection plate to the end of the diversion ribs near the water-discharging fan, and the orthographic projection of the end of the diversion ribs near the water-discharging fan is located in the center area of ​​the fan blades. This allows the condensate on the diversion ribs to fall directly above the center area of ​​the fan blades, thus ensuring that the condensate falls in the center area of ​​the fan blades and that the water droplets are primarily directed towards the condenser, improving the water cooling effect.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a water collection and diversion device 100, which is installed in an air conditioner and located between the condenser 10 and the water-operated fan 20. The water collection and diversion device 100 includes a water collection plate 110 and a diversion rib 120. The water collection plate 110 is disposed on the top of the condenser 10 and located between the condenser 10 and the water-operated fan 20. The diversion rib 120 is configured to divert the condensate on the water collection plate 110 to one end of the diversion rib 120 near the water-operated fan 20. The orthographic projection of the end of the diversion rib 120 near the water-operated fan 20 is located in the central region of the fan blades.

[0029] There is a gap between the condenser 10 and the water fan 20. The water collection plate 110 is located at the top of this gap area and is connected to at least the top of the condenser 10 to collect the water mist generated by the heat exchange of the condenser 10. The water mist condenses on the side of the water collection plate 110 near the condenser 10 to form condensate. The drainage rib 120 is located on the side of the water collection plate 110 near the condenser 10 to drain the condensate on the water collection plate 110.

[0030] The central area of ​​the fan blades of the water pumping fan 20 is the middle position of the fan blades. Therefore, the orthographic projection of the end of the water pumping rib 120 near the water pumping fan 20 is located in the central area of ​​the fan blades, that is, the end near the water pumping fan 20 is located directly above the central area of ​​the fan blades of the water pumping fan 20.

[0031] Understandably, the water collection and diversion device 100 is located between the condenser 10 and the water-cooling fan 20 of the air conditioner. It includes a water collection plate 110 and a diversion rib 120. By placing the water collection plate 110 on top of the condenser 10 and between the condenser 10 and the water-cooling fan 20, it collects the water mist evaporated from the condenser 10. At the same time, the water collection plate 110 located between the condenser 10 and the water-cooling fan 20 is provided with a diversion rib. The diversion rib is used to divert the condensed water on the water collection plate 110 to the end of the diversion rib 120 near the water-cooling fan 20. The orthographic projection of the end of the diversion rib 120 near the water-cooling fan 20 is located in the center area of ​​the fan blades. This allows the condensed water on the diversion rib 120 to fall directly above the center area of ​​the fan blades of the water-cooling fan 20, thus ensuring that the water droplets are mainly directed towards the condenser 10, improving the water cooling effect.

[0032] In some embodiments, the side of the drainage rib 120 near the water collection plate 110 is connected to the water collection plate 110.

[0033] In some embodiments, the drainage rib 120 has a drainage surface 121 on the side away from the water collection plate 110, and the distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110 gradually increases from the end away from the water pumping fan 20 to the end closer to the water pumping fan 20.

[0034] It should be noted that from the end furthest from the water fan 20 to the end closest to the water fan 20, the distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collecting plate 110 gradually increases. That is, along the contour of the drainage rib 120 close to the water fan 20, the distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water fan 20 gradually decreases, so that the drainage surface 121 is an inclined surface. Then, by the action of gravity, the condensate flows along the drainage surface 121 gradually towards the end of the drainage rib 120 close to the water fan 20, and then falls from directly above the center area of ​​the fan blade under the action of gravity.

[0035] In some embodiments, the difference between the minimum and maximum spacing between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110 is greater than or equal to 4 mm and less than or equal to 6 mm.

[0036] The minimum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collecting plate 110 is the distance between the end of the drainage surface 121 away from the water pumping fan 20 and the water collecting plate 110. The maximum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collecting plate 110 is the distance between the end of the drainage surface 121 near the water pumping fan 20 and the water collecting plate 110. That is, the difference between the minimum distance and the maximum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collecting plate 110 is essentially the distance between the two ends of the drainage surface 121 in the direction perpendicular to the water collecting plate 110. This represents the degree of inclination of the drainage surface 121. This avoids the condensate from dripping in the middle of the drainage surface 121 during the sliding process of the drainage surface 121 due to excessive or insufficient inclination. It allows the condensate to move along the drainage surface 121 to the center area of ​​the fan blade directly above.

[0037] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110 is 4 mm, and the maximum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110 is 10 mm.

[0038] In some embodiments, the minimum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110 is 6 mm, and the maximum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110 is 10 mm.

[0039] In some embodiments, the side of the guide rib 120 away from the water collection plate 110 also has a converging surface 122. The converging surface 122 is connected to the end of the guide surface 121 near the water pumping fan 20 and is parallel to the water collection plate 110. The orthogonal projection of the converging surface 122 on the fan blade is located in the central region of the fan blade.

[0040] It is understandable that the condensate is diverted to the confluence surface 122 through the diversion surface 121. The confluence surface 122 is set parallel to the water collection plate 110, and its attraction to water droplets is stronger than that of the inclined surface. This allows multiple streams of condensate flowing along the diversion surface 121 to converge at the confluence surface 122 to form water droplets. The water droplets only drip into the center area of ​​the fan blades after they have formed to a certain size. This makes the amount of water pumped by the water pumping fan 20 similar each time, achieving uniform water pumping and improving the water pumping heat dissipation effect.

[0041] In some embodiments, the distance between the confluence surface 122 and the water collection plate 110 is the maximum distance between the drainage surface 121 and the water collection plate 110; in this embodiment, the drainage rib 120 is connected to the water collection plate 110 on the side closest to the water collection plate 110.

[0042] In some embodiments, the distance between the confluence surface 122 and the water collection plate 110 is 10mm. In this embodiment, the main purpose is to limit the size of the drainage rib 120 to prevent the drainage rib 120 from being too wide and interfering with the water pumping fan 20.

[0043] In some embodiments, one end of the drain rib 120 is connected to the water collection plate 110, and the angle between the drain rib 120 and the water collection plate 110 is an acute angle, that is, by tilting the drain rib 120, the condensate flows to the end of the drain rib 120 near the water pump fan 20.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of drainage ribs 120 are provided on the water collection plate 110, and the plurality of drainage ribs are equidistantly spaced along the length direction of the water collection plate 110.

[0045] Understandably, the equidistant arrangement of multiple drainage ribs 120 facilitates the even distribution of condensate on the water collection plate 110 to each drainage rib 120, ensuring that water droplets can be sprayed from all parts of the water pumping fan 20, making the water pumping of the water pumping fan 20 more uniform, covering all parts of the condenser 10, and improving the water pumping heat dissipation effect.

[0046] In some embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs 120 is 8mm-12mm.

[0047] Understandably, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs 120 should not be too large, so as to avoid the condensate in the middle interval area not being able to be completely diverted to the drainage ribs 120; at the same time, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs 120 should not be too small, so as to avoid the condensate not being able to flow to the drainage ribs 120 due to the spacing being too close. Therefore, the spacing between adjacent drainage ribs 120 is limited to 8mm-12mm.

[0048] In some embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs 120 is 8 mm.

[0049] In some embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs 120 is 10 mm.

[0050] In some embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent drainage ribs 120 is 12mm.

[0051] In some embodiments, an air conditioner is also provided, which includes the water collection and drainage device 100 described above. Since the air conditioner includes at least some or all of the embodiments of the water collection and drainage device 100 described above, the air conditioner has at least the beneficial effects of some or all of the embodiments described above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0052] The air conditioner can be any type of air conditioner containing a condenser, such as a window air conditioner or a split air conditioner.

[0053] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings under the application concept of the present utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
