[0002] Currently, air conditioners, as commonly used temperature control devices, are widely used in homes and offices. Traditional air conditioners mostly adopt a split design, with the outdoor unit and indoor unit installed separately. With changing needs, such as kitchens and conference rooms, dedicated air conditioners for these scenarios have emerged, which can be installed in the ceiling. These air conditioners are integrated, with core components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator, cooling fan, and air supply fan all installed in the same casing. However, due to the limited space in the ceiling, especially the limited ceiling height, the layout of the components in existing air conditioners is not reasonable enough, resulting in a relatively high profile, which makes them unsuitable for scenarios with low ceiling heights, thus limiting the scope of application. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an ultra-thin air conditioner to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] Reference Figures 1-4 An ultra-thin air conditioner includes a casing 10, a compressor 20, an evaporator 30, a condenser 40, a first fan 51, a second fan 52, and an electrical control box 60. The housing 10 has a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12 that are separated from each other and arranged in a horizontal direction. The housing 10 is provided with a first air inlet 13 and a first air outlet 14 that communicate with the first cavity 11. The housing 10 is provided with a second air inlet 15 and a second air outlet 16 that communicate with the second cavity 12. The first air inlet 13 and the first air outlet 14 are connected to the outdoors through pipes, and the second air inlet 15 and the second air outlet 16 are connected to the indoor environment. The compressor 20, the condenser 40 and the first fan 51 are arranged horizontally in the first cavity 11; The evaporator 30 and the second fan 52 are arranged horizontally within the second cavity 12; The compressor 20 is connected in series between the evaporator 30 and the condenser 40; The electrical control box 60 is electrically connected to the compressor 20, the first fan 51, and the second fan 52.

[0019] In this utility model, reference is made to Figures 1-3 The casing 10 is rectangular, with a first cavity 11 located at the right end and a second cavity 12 located at the left end. A first air inlet 13 is located at the rear of the right end, a first air outlet 14 is located on the right end face, a second air inlet 15 is located at the rear of the left end, and a second air outlet 16 is located on the left end face. Furthermore, the evaporator 30 is L-shaped and fits against one corner of the rear end of the casing 10, the condenser 40 is straight and fits against the rear end of the casing 10, a first fan 51 fits against the front end of the casing 10, a second fan 52 fits against the front end of the casing 10, and the compressor 20 is located between the first fan 51 and the second fan 52. Between 52; furthermore, the first fan 51 is arranged between the compressor 20 and the opening of the L-shaped evaporator 30 and the air outlet is connected to the first air outlet 14. By setting the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12 arranged horizontally in the casing 10, and then arranging the components belonging to the outdoor unit horizontally in the first cavity 11 and arranging the components belonging to the indoor unit horizontally in the second cavity 12, the horizontal space of the ceiling can be fully utilized, thereby compressing the height of the air conditioner in the vertical direction of the ceiling and realizing the ultra-thin characteristics of the air conditioner.

[0020] The air conditioner operates as follows: Outdoor air enters the ceiling through the wall-penetrating pipe and is drawn into the first cavity 11 by the first fan 51 from the first air inlet 13, thereby cooling the condenser 40 and absorbing heat from it. The air is then discharged outdoors through the first air outlet 14 by the first fan 51. Simultaneously, the second fan 52 draws indoor air into the second cavity 12 from the second air inlet 15 and blows it onto the evaporator 30. The heat of the air is absorbed by the evaporator 30, causing the temperature to drop. The air is then discharged back into the room through the second air outlet 16 by the second fan 52, thus achieving indoor cooling.

[0021] Reference Figures 2-3 In some embodiments, the housing 10 is provided with an L-shaped air inlet window 13a arranged opposite to the evaporator 30. The L-shaped air inlet window 13a constitutes the first air inlet 13. This arrangement can increase the amount of outdoor air entering the first cavity 11, thereby increasing the cooling speed of the evaporator 30 and discharging heat to the outside more quickly.

[0022] Reference Figures 3-4 In some embodiments, a water collection box 70 and a water lifting assembly 80 are provided inside the housing 10. The water collection box 70 is located below the evaporator 30 and the condenser 40 and is used to collect water dripping from the evaporator 30 and the condenser 40. The water lifting assembly 80 has a driving end and a water lifting end. The driving end is electrically connected to the electrical control box 60, and the water lifting end is connected to the driving end and extends at least partially into the water collection box 70. The driving end can drive the water lifting end to lift the water in the water collection box 70 onto the condenser 40. Specifically, by setting up the water collection box 70 to collect water droplets dripping from the evaporator 30 and the condenser 40 during operation, and then lifting them onto the condenser 40 by the water lifting assembly 80, not only can the condenser 40 be cooled, but the water droplets can also be atomized and discharged into the air during the lifting process.

[0023] Reference Figures 3-4 In some embodiments, the water pumping assembly 80 includes a motor 81 and a water pumping impeller 82 connected to the output shaft of the motor 81. The motor 81 constitutes the driving end, and the water pumping impeller 82 constitutes the water pumping end.

[0024] Reference Figures 3-4 In some embodiments, a plurality of water-lifting troughs 41 are constructed on the condenser 40, and multiple water-lifting ends are set and correspond one-to-one with the water-lifting troughs 41. This arrangement can improve the efficiency of lifting water in the water collection box 70 to the condenser 40, thereby accelerating the absorption of heat on the condenser 40 and improving the heat discharge efficiency.

[0025] Reference Figures 2-3 In some embodiments, a partition 17 is provided inside the housing 10 to separate the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, an ultra-thin air conditioner further includes an air intake component 91 connected to the second air inlet 15 and an air outlet component 92 connected to the second air outlet 16. The air intake component 91 and the air outlet component 92 are installed on the ceiling and are used for air intake and air outlet, respectively. In some embodiments, the air intake component 91 is provided with a filter to filter the air, and the air outlet component 92 is provided with an adjustable air guide plate to meet the air outlet requirements in different directions.

[0027] The advantages of this utility model are: by adopting a horizontally arranged dual-cavity structure, the core components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator and fan are distributed in a horizontal direction, replacing the traditional stacked design, which significantly reduces the thickness of the whole machine and achieves ultra-thin characteristics, making it suitable for scenarios with limited ceiling space such as kitchens and conference rooms, and improving installation flexibility.
