[0033] In related technologies, bathroom air conditioners are generally integrated units, comprising a casing, evaporator, condenser, and compressor. The evaporator and condenser are both installed inside the casing and are separated. The compressor is connected in series with the evaporator and condenser via pipes to enable the bathroom air conditioner to lower the temperature inside the bathroom. Since the condenser is typically cooled by a fan assembly, when the outdoor temperature is too high, the heat dissipation effect of the fan assembly decreases, making it unable to quickly lower the condenser temperature and affecting the cooling efficiency of the bathroom air conditioner.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2The arrows in the diagram indicate the direction of fluid flow. For example, the fluid in the first, second, and third pipes is refrigerant, while the fluid in the fourth, fifth, and sixth pipes 810, 820, and 830 is water. A bathroom air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 100, an evaporator 200, a condenser 300, a compressor 400, a water tray 500, a first pump body 600, and a second pump body 700. The housing 100 has a first heat exchange chamber, a second heat exchange chamber, and an installation chamber that are separated from each other. The evaporator 200 is installed in the first heat exchange chamber, and the condenser 300 is installed in the second heat exchange chamber. The condenser 300 includes multiple plates stacked along its thickness direction, forming a first flow channel and a second flow channel. The first flow channel and the second flow channel are isolated from each other within the condenser 300. The first flow channel is used for refrigerant flow. The compressor 400 is installed in the installation chamber. The compressor 400 is connected to the evaporator 200 via a first pipe, and the evaporator 200 is connected to the liquid inlet of the first flow channel via a second pipe. The liquid outlet of the first flow channel is connected to the compressor 400 via a third pipe. The compressor 400 and the water collection tray 500 are installed in the first heat exchange chamber and located below the evaporator 200. The water collection tray 500 is equipped with a water trough for collecting the condensate produced by the evaporator 200. The water collection trough is connected to the liquid inlet of the second flow channel through the fourth pipe 810. The first pump body 600 is located on the fourth pipe 810 and is used to pump the water in the water collection trough into the second flow channel. The second pump body 700 is connected to the liquid inlet of the second flow channel through the fifth pipe 820 and is used to pump the water in the external water tank 900 into the second flow channel. The sixth pipe 830 is connected to the liquid outlet of the second flow channel and is used to discharge the water in the second flow channel. In this way, the condensate in the water collection trough and the water in the external water tank 900 can be used to cool the condenser 300, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the condenser 300 and thus improve the cooling efficiency of the bathroom air conditioner.

[0035] For example, when the bathroom air conditioner is working, the compressor 400 starts, and the refrigerant flows sequentially through the compressor 400, the first pipe, the evaporator 200, the second pipe, the first flow channel, and the third pipe, finally returning to the compressor 400. The condensate produced by the evaporator 200 falls into the water collection tank under its own gravity. The first pump body 600 pumps the condensate in the water collection tank into the second flow channel through the fourth pipe 810, and the second pump body 700 pumps the water in the external water tank 900 into the second flow channel through the fifth pipe 820. The condensate in the water collection tank and the water in the external water tank 900 can be used to cool the condenser 300, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the condenser 300, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the bathroom air conditioner.

[0036] It should be noted that compressor 400 can be a rotary compressor 400 or a reciprocating compressor 400, etc., and there is no restriction here.

[0037] It should be noted that the first, second, and third pipes are copper pipes, while the fourth, 810, fifth, 820, and sixth pipes 830 are water pipes, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray 500 includes a tray body 510 and a water collecting component 520. The water collecting component 520 is connected to the bottom of the tray body 510. The tray body 510 is provided with a first groove 511, and the water collecting component 520 is provided with a second groove 521. The first groove 511 and the second groove 521 are connected to form a water receiving trough. The fourth pipe 810 is connected to the second groove 521. In the horizontal direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second groove 521 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first groove 511, so that the water in the first groove 511 is collected in the second groove 521, which is beneficial for the first pump body 600 to draw water from the water receiving trough.

[0039] For example, in the horizontal direction, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first groove 511 is larger than the minimum cross-sectional area of ​​the evaporator 200, so that the condensate on the evaporator 200 can fall completely into the plate 510, and the condensate on the evaporator 200 can be prevented from flowing to other positions in the housing 100. The bottom wall of the first groove 511 is recessed downward to form a second groove 521. The condensate in the first groove 511 flows into the second groove 521. Since the cross-sectional area of ​​the second groove 521 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first groove 511 in the horizontal direction, the height of the condensate in the second groove 521 can be increased, which is beneficial for the first pump body 600 to draw water from the water receiving tank.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, the condenser 300 and the compressor 400 are both located below the tray 510, and both the condenser 300 and the compressor 400 are located on the outer periphery of the water collection component 520. On the one hand, this allows the cold energy of the condensate in the water collection tray 500 to radiate to the condenser 300 and the compressor 400, thereby assisting the condenser 300 and the compressor 400 in heat dissipation. On the other hand, the bathroom air conditioner has a compact layout, which can reduce the size of the bathroom air conditioner, making it easier to pack and transport, and it can be used in bathrooms with limited space.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom wall of the first groove 511 is provided with a first positioning protrusion 512 and a second positioning protrusion 513. The first positioning protrusion 512 and the second positioning protrusion 513 are respectively located on both sides of the evaporator 200. The first pump body 600 is installed on the first positioning protrusion 512, and the second pump body 700 is installed on the second positioning protrusion 513, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the first pump body 600 and the second pump body 700.

[0042] For example, the first positioning protrusion 512 and the second positioning protrusion 513 extend upward. The upper side of the first positioning protrusion 512 is provided with a first positioning groove, and the outer peripheral surface of the first pump body 600 abuts against the side wall of the first positioning groove. The upper side of the second positioning protrusion 513 is provided with a second positioning groove, and the outer peripheral surface of the second pump body 700 abuts against the side wall of the second positioning groove, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the first pump body 600 and the second pump body 700.

[0043] It should be noted that the first pump body 600 can be connected to the disc body 510 by bolts, and similarly, the second pump body 700 can be connected to the disc body 510 by bolts, which will not be elaborated here.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, the disc body 510 and the water collection component 520 are integrated structures, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the molds and thus reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the bathroom air conditioner.

[0045] For example, the disc body 510 and the water collection component 520 can be integrally molded by injection molding, which can reduce the number of molds, thereby reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the molds and thus reducing the production and manufacturing costs of the bathroom air conditioner.

[0046] As another implementation, the disc body 510 and the water collection component 520 can be connected by welding, wherein the welding method includes, but is not limited to, resistance welding, laser welding or ultrasonic welding.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, a liquid level detection component electrically connected to the first pump body 600 is also included. The liquid level detection component is disposed in the water receiving tank and is used to detect the liquid level height in the water receiving tank, and can automatically extract the condensate in the water receiving tank.

[0048] For example, the liquid level detection component is a float-type liquid level sensor or a hydrostatic liquid level sensor, etc. The liquid level detection component is electrically connected to the first pump body 600 through the control module of the bathroom air conditioner. When the liquid level detection component detects that the liquid level in the water tank is lower than the preset value, the liquid level detection component sends a first electrical signal to the control module, so that the control module controls the first pump body 600 to stop working. When the liquid level detection component detects that the liquid level in the water tank is higher than the preset value, the liquid level detection component sends a second electrical signal to the control module, so that the control module controls the first pump body 600 to draw water from the water tank, which can automatically draw out the condensate in the water tank.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first pump body 600 is configured as a diaphragm pump. The diaphragm pump has excellent dry suction performance, can be started in the absence of liquid, and its self-priming height can usually reach 4 to 6 meters, which is beneficial for pumping liquid.

[0050] Similarly, the second pump body 700 is configured as a diaphragm pump. Diaphragm pumps have excellent dry suction performance and can start in the absence of liquid. The self-priming height can usually reach 4 to 6 meters, which is beneficial for pumping liquid.

[0051] It should be noted that the diaphragm pump can be a pneumatic diaphragm pump or an electric diaphragm pump, and there is no limitation here.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the housing 100 is provided with a first connector 110 and a second connector 120 arranged side by side at intervals. The first connector 110 is connected to the fifth pipe 820, and the second connector 120 is connected to the sixth pipe 830, which can facilitate the connection to the external water tank 900.

[0053] For example, the external water tank 900 is the water tank of the toilet. The first connector 110 is connected to the first external water pipe 840, which is connected to the water tank of the toilet. The second connector 120 is connected to the second external water pipe 850, which is connected to the water tank of the toilet. This allows the water flowing out from the second flow channel to flow back into the water tank of the toilet, thereby reducing water waste.

[0054] It should be noted that the external water tank 900 can also be used as a household water bucket, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fourth pipe 810 and the fifth pipe 820 are arranged in parallel. The fourth pipe 810 and the fifth pipe 820 are connected to the liquid inlet end of the second flow channel through a merging pipe, which can optimize the pipe layout of the bathroom air conditioner and make the structure of the bathroom air conditioner compact.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, a fan assembly is also included. The fan assembly includes a volute 910, fan blades, and a drive unit. The volute 910 is provided with an air duct, which has an air inlet 911 and an air outlet. The air outlet faces the evaporator 200. The fan blades are rotatably disposed in the air duct, and the output shaft of the drive unit is connected to the fan blades so that the fan blades blow air to the evaporator 200 through the air outlet, thereby enabling the bathroom to cool down quickly.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
