At least one support platform is disposed in the first water receiving tank. The at least one support platform is used to support the evaporator so that the evaporator is spaced apart from the bottom surface. The outer surface of the support platform forms at least one first water guiding slope, which is configured to guide the condensate to flow to the bottom surface of the first water receiving tank.
[0005] The water receiving tray assembly proposed in the first aspect of this utility model has a first water receiving tray arranged at the bottom of the evaporator to receive the condensate from the evaporator. Furthermore, by setting at least one support platform in the first tray to support the evaporator, there is a height difference between the bottom of the evaporator and the bottom of the first water receiving trough in the first tray. This allows the condensate from the evaporator to flow along the first water guiding slope on the support platform to the bottom of the first water receiving trough, and then flow out from the first drain outlet at the bottom of the first tray. This prevents the bottom of the evaporator from being immersed in the condensate and improves the reliability of the evaporator.
[0006] In addition, the water receiving tray assembly according to this utility model may also have the following additional technical features: In some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray assembly further includes a second water receiving tray, the second water receiving tray including a second tray body, the second tray body having a second water receiving groove and a second drain outlet that are interconnected, the second water receiving groove being used to receive condensate generated by the piping assembly of the evaporator, the bottom surface of the second water receiving groove being configured to guide the condensate in the second water receiving groove to flow to the second drain outlet along the depth direction of the second water receiving groove, and the second water receiving groove being connected to the first water receiving groove through the second drain outlet.
[0007] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first disc body includes: First base plate; A first side plate is connected to the first bottom plate and forms the first water receiving groove between the side plate and the bottom plate.

[0008] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second disc body includes: Second base plate; Two second side plates, the two second side plates being arranged opposite to each other and connected to the second bottom plate, the two second... A second water receiving groove is formed between the side plate and the second bottom plate. A second drain outlet is formed between the same end of the two second side plates and the first end of the second bottom plate. The side of the second bottom plate facing the second water receiving groove is configured to guide the condensate in the second water receiving groove to flow to the second drain outlet.
[0009] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first end of the second base plate overlaps the end of the first side plate away from the first base plate along the depth direction of the first water receiving groove, and cooperates with the first side plate to limit the movement of the second plate relative to the first side plate.
[0010] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first end of the second base plate is provided with a fixing hole for fasteners to pass through, so as to connect the first end of the second base plate to the first side plate.
[0011] In some embodiments of this utility model, the second water receiving tray further includes a bracket. Along the depth direction of the second water receiving groove, one end of the bracket is connected to the side of the second tray body opposite to the second water receiving groove, and the other end of the bracket is used to connect to the chassis of the HVAC equipment.

[0013] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray assembly further includes a heat insulation layer, and the heat insulation layer is provided on the side of the first tray body away from the first water receiving trough and / or on the side of the second tray body away from the second water receiving trough.

[0016] The HVAC equipment proposed in the second aspect of this utility model uses a first water receiving tray arranged at the bottom of the evaporator to receive the condensate from the evaporator. Furthermore, by setting at least one support platform within the first tray to support the evaporator, a height difference exists between the bottom of the evaporator and the bottom of the first water receiving trough in the first tray. This allows the condensate from the evaporator to flow along the first water guiding slope on the support platform to the bottom of the first water receiving trough, and then flow out from the first drain outlet at the bottom of the first tray. This prevents the bottom of the evaporator from being immersed in condensate, thereby improving the reliability of the evaporator. Attached Figure Description

[0019] It should be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular exemplary embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” as used herein may also include the plural forms. The terms “comprising,” “including,” “containing,” and “having” are inclusive and therefore indicate the presence of the stated features, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first aspect of this utility model provides a water receiving tray assembly for receiving condensate from the evaporator 101 of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system 100. The water receiving tray assembly includes a first water receiving tray 10, which includes a first tray body 11 and at least one support platform 13. The first tray body 11 has a first water receiving groove 12 and a first drain outlet 113 that are interconnected. Along the depth direction of the first water receiving groove 12, the bottom surface of the first water receiving groove 12 is configured to guide the condensate from the evaporator 101 to flow towards the first drain outlet 113. The support platform 13 is disposed in the first water receiving groove 12 and is used to support the evaporator 101 so that the evaporator 101 is spaced from the bottom surface of the first water receiving groove 12. The outer surface of the support platform 13 forms at least one first water guiding slope 131, which is used to guide the condensate from the evaporator 101 to the bottom surface of the first water receiving groove 12.
[0023] As can be seen, the water receiving tray assembly proposed in the first aspect of this utility model is arranged at the bottom of the evaporator 101 via a first water receiving tray 10 to receive the condensate from the evaporator 101. Furthermore, by providing at least one support platform 13 within the first tray body 11 to support the evaporator 101, a height difference exists between the bottom of the evaporator 101 and the bottom of the first water receiving trough 12 of the first tray body 11. This allows the condensate from the evaporator 101 to flow along the first water guiding slope 131 on the support platform 13 to the bottom of the first water receiving trough 12, and then flow out from the first drain outlet 113 at the bottom of the first tray body 11. This prevents the bottom of the evaporator 101 from being immersed in the condensate, thereby improving the reliability of the evaporator 101.
[0024] For example, the shape of the first water receiving tray 10 can match the projected shape of the evaporator 101 on the chassis 102, and the first water receiving tray 10 covers the bottom end of the evaporator 101. The first water receiving tray 10 can be rectangular or square, and its interior defines a first water receiving trough 12. At least one support platform 13 can be provided in the first water receiving trough 12. The support platform 13 can be a rectangular or square platform, and multiple support platforms 13 can be spaced apart along the length of the first water receiving tray 10. The outer surface of the support platform 13 is inclined to form a first water guiding slope 131, so that the liquid on the surface flows into the first water receiving trough 12. The first drain outlet 113 can be provided on the side wall of the first water receiving tray 10, and can be formed by an opening or a notch formed between two first side plates 112. The first drain outlet 113 can also be provided at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the first water receiving tray 10.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray assembly further includes a second water receiving tray 20. The second water receiving tray 20 includes a second tray body 21, which has a second water receiving groove 22 and a second drain outlet 213 that are interconnected. The second water receiving groove 22 is used to receive condensate generated by the piping assembly 103 of the evaporator 101. Along the depth direction of the second water receiving groove 22, the bottom surface of the second water receiving groove 22 is configured to guide the condensate generated by the piping of the evaporator 101 to flow towards the second drain outlet 213. The second drain outlet 213 is used to discharge the liquid in the second water receiving groove 22 to the first water receiving groove 12. It can be seen that by setting the second water receiving tray 20 to receive the condensate from the piping of the evaporator 101, the condensate from the pipes is prevented from dripping into the inside of the air duct, which could easily cause water blowing and other problems, and blow water into the user's home.
[0026] For example, the shape of the second water receiving tray 20 is adapted to the piping connected to the evaporator 101, that is, the second water receiving tray 20 can be elongated or rectangular, and the projection of the piping connected to the water collection pipe of the evaporator 101 in the height direction of the housing assembly falls entirely within the projection range of the second water receiving tray 20. The second water receiving tray 20 can be formed into an integral structure by sheet metal bending, or formed by welding multiple metal plates. The second water receiving tray 20 is inclined downward, and the second drain outlet 213 is located at the lowest point of the second water receiving tray 20. The second drain outlet 213 can be a notch defined by the side walls and bottom wall of the second water receiving trough 22, or a hole-type structure on the side wall of the second water receiving trough 22. The second drain outlet 213 can be located above the first water receiving trough 12, or the end of the second water receiving tray 20 with the second drain outlet 213 can be connected to the side of the first water receiving tray 10.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first plate 11 includes a first bottom plate 111 and a first side plate 112. The first side plate 112 is connected to the first bottom plate 111 and forms a first water receiving groove 12 between the side plate 112 and the first bottom plate 111. The first drain outlet 113 is disposed on the first side plate 112 or the first bottom plate 111. The support platform 13 is disposed on the side of the first bottom plate 111 facing the first water receiving groove 12.
[0028] As can be seen, the first plate 11 is formed by the first base plate 111 and the first side plate 112 extending along the edge of the first base plate 111. The first drain outlet 113 is set on the first base plate 111 or the first side plate 112 so that the water collected by the first base plate 111 can be discharged from the first drain outlet 113. The first side plate 112 prevents the condensate collected by the first water receiving tank 12 from flowing to the outside of the first water receiving plate 10 before being discharged.
[0029] For example, the first base plate 111 may be rectangular, and the first side plate 112 may extend along three sides of the first base plate 111, or one first side plate 112 may be provided on each of the opposite sides of the first base plate 111. The first drain outlet 113 may be formed by an opening on the first side plate 112, or defined by the same end of the two oppositely arranged first side plates 112 and the first base plate 111. Furthermore, the first base plate 111 is inclined downward, and the support platform 13 may be provided on the first base plate 111. All the support platforms 13 are arranged on one side of the first base plate 111 along the radial direction of the drain outlet, so that the other side of the first base plate 111 along the radial direction of the drain outlet forms a drainage channel, which is connected to the first drain outlet 113.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the second plate 21 includes a second bottom plate 211 and two second side plates 212. The two second side plates 212 are arranged opposite to each other and connected to the second bottom plate 211. A second water receiving groove 22 is formed between the two second side plates 212 and the second bottom plate 211. A second drain outlet 213 is formed between the same end of the two second side plates 212 and the first end of the second bottom plate 211. The plate surface of the second bottom plate 211 facing the second water receiving groove 22 is configured to guide the condensate generated by the piping assembly 103 of the evaporator 101 to flow to the second drain outlet 213.
[0031] As can be seen, the second plate 21 is formed by the second base plate 211 and the two second side plates 212 extending along both sides of the second base plate 211. The second drain outlet 213 is set at the same end of the first base plate 111 and the two first side plates 112, so that the water collected by the second base plate 211 can be discharged from the second drain outlet 213. The second side plates 212 prevent the condensate collected by the second water receiving tank 22 from flowing to the outside of the second water receiving plate 20 before being discharged.
[0032] For example, the second base plate 211 can be rectangular, and one second side plate 212 can be provided on each of the opposite sides of the first base plate 111. The first drain outlet 113 can be formed by a notch defined at the same end of the two oppositely arranged second side plates 212 and the second base plate 211. Furthermore, the second base plate 211 is inclined downward, and the lower end of the second base plate 211 can be located above the first water receiving tank 12, so that the drainage from the second drain outlet 213 can fall into the first water receiving tank 12, or an interface can be opened on the first side plate 112, and the second drain outlet 213 can be connected to the interface.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first end of the second base plate 211 overlaps with one end of the first side plate 112 away from the first base plate 111 along the depth direction of the first water receiving trough 12, and is limited to cooperate with the first side plate 112 to restrict the movement of the second plate 21 relative to the first side plate 112.
[0034] As can be seen, by attaching the first end of the second base plate 211 to the top of the first side plate 112, the bottom end of the second base plate 211 is supported, and the connection between the second base plate 211 and the first side plate 112 is limited and fitted, so that the second base plate 211 is less likely to slide relative to the first side plate 112 under vibration, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the two.
[0035] For example, the first end of the second base plate 211, that is, the bottom end of the second base plate 211 in the depth direction of the second water receiving tank 22, can extend a first extension 214 from the part of the second base plate 211 located at the second drain outlet 213. The first extension 214 can be formed by bending the edge part of the second base plate 211. The first extension 214 can be provided with an L-shaped or U-shaped bend, so that the first extension 214 can be hung on the first side plate 112. At this time, the bend on the first extension 214 extends into the first water receiving tank 12, thereby making the connection between the second water receiving tray 20 and the first water receiving tray 10 more reliable.
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first end of the second base plate 211 is provided with a fixing hole 216, which is used for fasteners to pass through in order to connect the first end of the second base plate 211 to the first side plate 112.
[0037] As can be seen, by providing fixing holes 216 on the second base plate 211, fasteners can pass through the fixing holes 216 to fasten the second base plate 211 to the first side plate 112, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the second disc body 21 and the first disc body 11.
[0038] For example, the first end of the second base plate 211, that is, the bottom end of the second base plate 211 in the depth direction of the second water receiving tank 22, can extend a second extension 215 from the portion of the second base plate 211 located at the second drain outlet 213. The second extension 215 is spaced apart from the first extension 214 in a direction parallel to the second base plate 211. The second extension 215 can be formed by bending the edge portion of the second base plate 211. A circular fixing hole 216 can be opened on the second extension 215 to facilitate the fastener to pass through. As a result, it is necessary to bend or set a portion parallel to the second extension 215 on the first side plate 112 and provide a through hole for the fastener to pass through.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the second water receiving tray 20 further includes a bracket 23. Along the depth direction of the second water receiving trough 22, one end of the bracket 23 is connected to the side of the second tray body 21 away from the second water receiving trough 22, and the other end of the bracket 23 is used to connect to the chassis 102.
[0040] As can be seen, by setting a bracket 23 at the bottom of the second plate 21, one end of the second plate 21 is connected and fixed to the first side plate 112, and the other end or middle of the second plate 21 is supported on the chassis 102 by the bracket 23, so as to achieve the inclined installation of the second water receiving plate 20.
[0041] For example, the bracket 23 can be a U-shaped or L-shaped structure, made by sheet metal bending. One end of the bracket 23 can be welded and fixed to the side of the second base plate 211 away from the second water receiving tank 22. The other end of the bracket 23 can be fixed to the chassis 102 by snap-fit, welding or bolts.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first side plate 112 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 114; And / or, at least one support platform 13 is provided with a water receiving pit 132 and a guide channel 133 on the side opposite to the first base plate 111 along the depth direction of the first water receiving tank 12. The water receiving pit 132 is used to receive the condensate from the water collection pipe of the evaporator 101. The guide channel 133 is connected to the water receiving pit 132 and is configured to guide the condensate in the water receiving pit 132 to flow to the bottom surface of the first water receiving tank 12.
[0043] As can be seen, by providing multiple reinforcing ribs 114 on the first side plate 112, the structural strength of the first side plate 112 is enhanced, making the first side plate 112 less prone to deformation, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the first water receiving tray 10, making the first water receiving tray 10 less prone to deformation under the pressure of gravity of the evaporator 101. In addition, at least one support platform 13 located below the manifold of the evaporator 101 can be provided with a water receiving pit 132 that matches the cross-sectional shape of the manifold to support the manifold or receive the condensate from the manifold. The condensate is then guided from the water receiving pit 132 to the first water receiving tank 12 for collection through the guide channel 13 formed on the support platform 13.
[0044] For example, reinforcing ribs 114 can be provided on the side of the first side plate 112 facing the first water receiving trough 12 or on the side away from the first water receiving trough 12. The reinforcing ribs 114 can extend straight or be mesh-like. The reinforcing ribs 114 can follow the first side plate 112 and surround the first base plate 111, or extend along the depth direction of the first water receiving trough 12, and multiple reinforcing ribs 114 can be spaced apart in a direction parallel to the first base plate 111. The first drain outlet 113 can be located on one side of the length direction of the first water receiving tray 10, and the water receiving pit 132 can be located on the support platform 13 furthest from the first drain outlet 113 along the length direction of the first water receiving tray 10, so that the water receiving pit 132 is located directly below the collection pipe. The water receiving pit 132 can be a circular pit or a rectangular pit, with openings on its periphery, and communicates with the bottom of the first water receiving trough 12 through a long, inclined guide channel 133.
[0045] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the water receiving tray assembly further includes a heat insulation layer, which is disposed on the side of the first tray 11 opposite to the first water receiving trough 12 and / or the side of the second tray 21 opposite to the second water receiving trough 22.
[0046] It can be seen that by setting the insulation layer on the side of the first plate 11 away from the first water receiving tank 12 and / or the side of the second plate 21 away from the second water receiving tank 22, the outer surface of the first plate 11 and the second plate 21 can reduce the phenomenon of condensation after the plate is heated after receiving condensed water at a low temperature, thus avoiding water accumulation in the bottom of the plate.
[0047] For example, the insulation layer may be a board made of insulation cotton board or other insulation material, which is attached to the bottom outer surface or the side outer surface of the first plate 11 and the second plate 21 by means of adhesive.
[0048] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the first disc body 11 and the support platform 13 are an integral structure. And / or, the second disc 21 is an integral structure.
[0049] As can be seen, by forming at least one support platform 13 on the first tray 11 through injection molding or sheet metal stamping, the first water receiving tray 10 has high structural strength and no leakage risk points such as welded joints. Similarly, by manufacturing the second tray 21 through injection molding or sheet metal stamping and bending, the second water receiving tray 20 has high structural strength.
[0050] For example, at least one support platform 13 can be formed on the first base plate 111 by stamping, and the second plate 21 can be formed by bending the two side edges of the second base plate 211 to form two second side plates 212.
[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the second aspect of this utility model provides a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) device 100, including a chassis 102, an evaporator 101, and a water tray assembly. The water tray assembly is the same as the water tray assembly proposed in the first aspect of this utility model. The water tray assembly is installed on the chassis 102 and supports the evaporator 101.
[0052] The HVAC equipment 100 proposed in the second aspect of this utility model has a first water receiving tray 10 arranged at the bottom of the evaporator 101 to receive the condensate from the evaporator 101. At least one support platform 13 is provided in the first tray body 11 to support the evaporator 101, so that there is a height difference between the bottom of the evaporator 101 and the bottom of the first water receiving trough 12 of the first tray body 11. This allows the condensate from the evaporator 101 to flow along the first water guiding slope 131 on the support platform 13 to the bottom of the first water receiving trough 12, and then flow out from the first drain outlet 113 at the bottom of the first tray body 11. This avoids the bottom of the evaporator 101 being immersed in the condensate and improves the reliability of the evaporator 101.
[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto.
