AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing air conditioning heat exchangers, eddies easily form at the water collection pan during air intake, resulting in unstable airflow velocity and inaccurate condensation collection.

Method used

Design a water receiving tray, including a first water receiving part and a second water receiving part that are inclined to each other, and set an air guide channel between them. The side wall of the air guide channel is provided with air guide parts to guide the airflow to the heat exchanger, thereby reducing the occurrence of backflow and eddies.

Benefits of technology

The air intake volume of the heat exchanger was increased to ensure the condensate collection effect, reduce noise, and enhance the structural strength of the water collection tray.

Abstract

This application provides a water collection tray and an indoor air conditioning unit. The water collection tray includes: a first water collection portion and a second water collection portion that are inclined to each other, the first water collection portion and the second water collection portion being used to collect condensate from a heat exchanger; and a support portion connected between the first water collection portion and the second water collection portion, the support portion being provided with an air guide channel; wherein, an air guide portion is protruding from the side wall of the air guide channel, the air guide portion being configured to extend in a direction close to the heat exchanger. The air guide channel and the air guide portion reduce airflow backflow and improve vortex problems.
