[0002] During the operation of an air conditioner, a large amount of condensate will be generated on the surface of the evaporator due to heat exchange. In order to effectively collect and smoothly drain this condensate and prevent it from dripping and causing inconvenience to users or damage to the equipment, a water collection tray structure is installed inside the air conditioner. The water collection tray structure is fixed on the bottom frame of the air conditioner and located below the evaporator. The condensate generated by the evaporator is collected in the water collection tray structure.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used water tray structure includes an inner tray and an outer tray. The inner tray has a water collection cavity and is fixed to the outer tray by connecting clips. However, the connecting clips are located on the outer walls of the inner and outer trays. The connecting clips are directly exposed in the air duct inside the air conditioner or in the area near the evaporator, which will interfere with airflow, reduce air volume, or generate noise, thus affecting the performance of the air conditioner.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0018] The directions mentioned below are in the form of Figure 1 The orientation of each component is used as a reference.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the present invention relates to a water receiving tray structure for an air conditioner, comprising an inner tray body 1 and an outer tray body 2. The outer tray body 2 is provided with an inner tray mounting cavity 21, and the inner tray body 1 is provided with a water receiving cavity 11. A positioning slot 22 is provided on the right inner wall of the inner tray mounting cavity 21. Limiting grooves 23 and assembly ribs 24 are respectively provided on the upper and lower inner walls of the inner tray mounting cavity 21. A positioning buckle 12 is provided on the right side wall of the inner tray body 1. A first limiting rib 13 and an assembly hook 14 are respectively provided on the upper and lower side walls of the inner tray body 1. The positioning buckle 12 is inserted into the positioning slot 22, the first limiting rib 13 is inserted into the limiting groove 23, and the assembly rib 24 and the assembly hook 14 are matched to form a buckle structure to set the inner plate 1 in the inner plate mounting cavity 21.

[0020] Both the inner plate 1 and the outer plate 2 are made of plastic, which has a certain degree of elasticity. The positioning slot 22, the limiting slot 23, the assembly retaining rib 24, the positioning buckle 12, the first limiting rib 13, and the assembly hook 14 constitute the connection and fixing structure between the inner plate 1 and the outer plate 2. This connection and fixing structure is located between the inner plate 1 and the outer plate 2, and is also located in the inner plate mounting cavity 21. The inner plate 1 and the outer plate 2 hide the connection and fixing structure inside, thereby effectively reducing the impact on the normal use of the air conditioner and ensuring the performance of the air conditioner.

[0021] The positioning slot 22 and positioning buckle 12 mainly serve a connecting and positioning function, facilitating the assembly and connection of the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, connecting the right side of the inner disc 1 and the right side of the outer disc 2 together. The first limiting rib 13 and limiting groove 23 also mainly serve a connecting and positioning function, connecting the upper and lower sides of the inner disc 1 and the upper and lower sides of the outer disc 2 together, also mainly facilitating the assembly and connection of the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2. The assembly clamp rib 24 and assembly hook 14 form a buckle structure for fixing, fixing the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2 together. The cross-sectional shape of the assembly clamp rib 24 is preferably triangular, serving as an assembly guide.

[0022] Specifically, to facilitate the assembly and connection of the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, and to improve the connection strength between the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, for example... Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, there are multiple limiting grooves 23 and multiple assembly retaining ribs 24, which are arranged alternately along the length of the inner disc mounting cavity 21; there are also multiple first limiting ribs 13 and multiple assembly retaining ribs 24, which are arranged alternately along the length of the inner disc mounting cavity 21; one first limiting rib 13 is inserted into one limiting groove 23, and one assembly retaining rib 24 is matched with one assembly hook 14 to form a snap-fit ​​structure. A more preferred embodiment is that the first limiting ribs 13 and the assembly retaining ribs 24 are arranged alternately along the length of the inner disc mounting cavity 21, and the limiting grooves 23 and the assembly retaining ribs 24 are arranged alternately along the length of the inner disc mounting cavity 21.

[0023] To further facilitate the assembly and connection of the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, and to improve the connection strength between the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a second limiting rib 25 is provided on the right side wall of the inner plate mounting cavity 21, and a limiting hole 15 is provided on the right side wall of the inner plate body 1. The second limiting rib 25 is matched and disposed in the limiting hole 15. The second limiting rib 25 and the limiting hole 15 mainly serve to connect and position, facilitating the assembly and connection of the inner plate body 1 and the outer plate body 2, connecting the left side of the inner plate body 1 and the left side of the outer plate body 2 together. Although the second limiting rib 25 and the limiting hole 15 are located outside the inner plate body 1 and the outer plate body 2, they are located at the left end of the inner plate body 1 and the outer plate body 2, and will hardly affect the normal use of the air conditioner.

[0024] In use, the drip tray structure of this utility model is fixed to the bottom frame of the air conditioner. Simultaneously, the drip tray structure is located below the evaporator, and the condensate produced by the evaporator drips into the drip cavity 11 of the inner tray 1. To facilitate the drainage of the condensate in the drip cavity 11, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the inner plate 1 has an inner drain hole 16, and the outer plate 2 has an outer drain hole 26. The inner drain hole 16 and the outer drain hole 26 are positioned opposite each other and are connected. The inner drain hole 16 is also connected to the water receiving cavity 11. The condensate in the water receiving cavity 11 is discharged to the outside of the water receiving tray structure through the inner drain hole 16 and the outer drain hole 26. To discharge the condensate to the outside of the air conditioner, further... Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this utility model also includes a drain pipe 4, which is connected to the outer plate 2 and communicates with the outer drain hole 26. The condensate in the water receiving chamber 11 is discharged to the outside of the air conditioner through the drain pipe 4. Since the condensate also has a certain temperature, an insulation layer is provided on the outer surface of the drain pipe 4 to reduce the possibility of condensation on its outer surface.

[0025] Condensate entering between the inner and outer discs can cause bacteria and odors. To reduce the possibility of condensate entering between the inner and outer discs, for example... Figure 4 As shown, a sealing gasket 3 is provided between the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2. To improve the sealing effect of the sealing gasket 3, it is positioned next to the inner drain hole 16 and the outer drain hole 26. To further improve the sealing effect between the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, a sealing mounting rib 27 facing the inner disc 1 is provided on the inner wall of the inner disc mounting cavity 21. The outer drain hole 26 is located inside the sealing mounting rib 27. A drain column 17 facing the outer disc 2 is provided on the side wall of the inner disc 1. The inner drain hole 16 is located in the drain column 17. The sealing gasket 3 includes a horizontal sealing part 31 and a vertical sealing part 32 connected vertically. The horizontal sealing part 31 is matched between the inner disc 1 and the sealing mounting rib 27, and the vertical sealing part 32 is matched between the sealing mounting rib 27 and the drain column 17. This arrangement not only improves the sealing effect between the inner disc 1 and the outer disc 2, but also improves the installation firmness of the sealing gasket 3, ensuring its performance.
