[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202410159449.6, filed on February 4, 2024, entitled “AIR CONDITIONER”. The entire contents of the above patent application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0004] The piping of the air conditioner connects the liquid storage tank and the evaporator, and the liquid storage tank and the condenser. When the air conditioner is cooling or heating, condensed water will be generated on the piping and the outer wall of the liquid storage tank. After the condensed water drips, it will affect other components in the air conditioner. In order to prevent the condensed water generated on the piping or the outer wall of the liquid storage tank from dripping and affecting other components in the air conditioner, one solution is to wrap a sponge layer on the outside of the piping and the liquid storage tank to prevent condensed water from forming on the outer wall of the piping. However, due to the large number of pipe bodies in the piping and the relatively complex structure of each pipe body, the processing difficulty of wrapping the sponge layer on the piping is high, and the material cost and processing cost are high.

[0047] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of this application will be further explained in conjunction with embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] The piping of the air conditioner connects the liquid storage tank and the evaporator, and the liquid storage tank and the condenser. When the air conditioner is cooling or heating, condensed water will be generated on the piping and the outer wall of the liquid storage tank. After the condensed water drips, it will affect other components in the air conditioner. In order to prevent the condensed water generated on the piping or the outer wall of the liquid storage tank from dripping and affecting other components in the air conditioner, one solution is to wrap a sponge layer on the outside of the piping and the liquid storage tank to prevent condensed water from forming on the outer wall of the piping. However, due to the large number of pipe bodies in the piping and the relatively complex structure of each pipe body, the processing difficulty of wrapping the sponge layer on the piping is high, and the material cost and processing cost are high.

[0050] Another solution involves installing an upward-facing water storage chamber on the air conditioner's base. This chamber is used to collect condensed water from the outer walls of the piping. After collecting the condensed water, the chamber centrally processes it (either by draining it from the air conditioner or by heating and evaporating it), thus preventing dripping condensed water from contacting other components within the air conditioner. However, in this solution, to facilitate the collection and removal of condensed water, the placement of the water storage chamber on the base must be specifically designed based on the location of the piping or liquid storage tank, as well as the vertical height of the chamber's bottom wall. Specifically, the chamber must be located directly below the piping or liquid storage tank. Furthermore, the bottom wall height must be higher directly below the piping or liquid storage tank, while the bottom wall height near the outlet, which connects to the outside world, must be lower. This allows the chamber to collect condensed water at the higher vertical height and drain it at the lower vertical height. Clearly, meeting these requirements places high demands on the base design. In particular, when the base and the piping are processed and produced by two different parts processing manufacturers, the processing plant that processes the base needs to find the general assembly plant or the parts processing plant that processes the piping to obtain the connection position of the piping and the base, the specific structure of the piping, and the specific parts where condensation water is prone to dripping, so that the structural design of the base is restricted by the structural design of the piping. In addition, since the base itself needs to meet certain structural strength requirements, that is, different parts of the base need to have corresponding structural strengths, which makes the wall thickness of each part of the base have certain restrictions. Therefore, the height of the bottom wall of the water storage chamber at different positions cannot be set arbitrarily, so the structural design of the piping will also be restricted by the structural design of the base (when the bottom wall height of the corresponding position of the water storage chamber cannot be raised, the corresponding position cannot be set on the upper side, otherwise the condensation water dripping from the piping will accumulate at a low point and cannot be discharged). In summary, when the condensation water on the piping is allowed to drip directly into the water storage chamber on the base, the design difficulty of the base and the piping will be increased.

[0051] In view of this, referring to Figures 1 to 19, the present application provides an air conditioner 100, which includes a base 110, a heat exchanger 120, a distribution assembly 130, and a flow guide 140. The base 110 can be used to support other structures of the air conditioner 100, and the base 110 is provided with a water storage chamber 111 with an upward opening. The heat exchanger 120 is connected to the base 110. In one embodiment, the heat exchanger 120 can be an evaporator. In another embodiment, the heat exchanger 120 can also be a condenser.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. The distribution component 130 is connected to the base 110. The distribution component 130 includes a pipe 131 and a tank body 132. The tank body 132 is used to store a heat exchange medium (specifically, it can be Freon, ammonia, tetrafluoroethane, etc.). The pipe 131 is connected to the heat exchanger 120 and the tank body 132 respectively, so as to distribute the heat exchange medium stored in the tank body 132 to the heat exchanger 120. That is, the pipe 131 includes a plurality of pipelines, a portion of which is connected to the heat exchanger 120, a portion is connected to the liquid outlet pipe, and a portion is connected to the compressor 160. During the operation of the air conditioner 100, whether it is heating or cooling, the temperature of the heat exchange medium stored in the tank body 132 is lower than that of the external environment. The temperature of the pipe connected to the condenser part of the pipe 131 is high, and the temperature of the pipe connected to the evaporator part of the pipe 131 is low.

[0053] Referring to FIG. 3 , the distribution assembly 130 includes a dripping area 133 suitable for dripping condensed water. The dripping area 133 can be set according to the actual conditions of the piping 131 and the tank body 132. That is, the distribution assembly 130 includes the piping 131 and the tank body 132. The piping 131 includes a curved portion 1311. The center of the curve of the curved portion 1311 is located above the curved portion 1311 (in other words, the curved portion 1311 is arranged below the curved center, and the opening of the recessed portion of the curved portion 1311 faces upward). The dripping area 133 can be the bottom wall of the curved portion 1311 or the bottom wall of the tank body 132. In one embodiment, the dripping area 133 can also be the outer peripheral surface of the tank body 132. Specifically, due to the temperature difference, condensed water will form on the surfaces of the piping 131 and the tank body 132. These condensed waters gather in certain areas of the piping 131 and the tank body 132 and slowly flow down along the surfaces of the piping 131 and the tank body 132, thus forming a plurality of dripping areas 133. It should be noted that the plurality of pipelines included in the piping 131 may include a plurality of dripping areas 133. In one embodiment, a pipeline may have one dripping area 133. In another embodiment, a pipeline may also have a plurality of dripping areas 133. In yet another embodiment, a plurality of pipelines may have one dripping area 133, and a plurality of pipelines may have a plurality of dripping areas 133. The dripping area 133 is generally located at the lower end of the turning point of a single pipeline of the piping 131, that is, not all surfaces of the piping 131 can drip condensed water. The condensed water flows downward along the outer wall of the piping 131 and gathers at the lower end of the turning point of the pipeline, dripping under the action of gravity and surface tension.

[0054] The guide portion 140 is connected to the base 110. In one embodiment, the guide portion 140 can be directly connected to the base 110. In another embodiment, the guide portion 140 can also be indirectly connected to the base 110 by connecting other components. The guide portion 140 is arranged between the dripping area 133 and the base 110. The guide portion 140 is used to receive the condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133. The guide portion 140 can guide the received condensed water to the water storage chamber 111, and the condensed water is centrally processed through the water storage chamber 111. Specifically, in one embodiment, the guide portion 140 can receive all the condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 and guide the condensed water to the water storage chamber 111. In another embodiment, the guide portion 140 can receive part of the condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133. In yet another embodiment, the water storage chamber 111 can receive part of the condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133.

[0055] Because the condensed water generated by the distribution assembly 130 can be directed by the guide 140 to the water storage chamber 111 of the base 110, the condensed water can be centrally processed, preventing it from contacting other components within the air conditioner 100 and affecting their operation. Furthermore, there is no need to wrap the distribution assembly 130 with a sponge layer, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the air conditioner 100 and its material and processing costs. In this application, the condensed water dripping from the at least one dripping area 133 on the distribution assembly 130 first drips onto the guide 140 and is then directed by the guide 140 to the water storage chamber 111. This allows for greater freedom and reduced design complexity in the structural design of the base 110. Specifically, when designing the structure of base 110, the bottom wall shape is first designed based on its structural strength requirements (in related art, the design of the bottom wall shape is limited by the connection position of piping 131 and the location of piping 131's dripping area 133, and therefore cannot be freely designed). Then, the lowest point of the bottom wall can be selected as water storage chamber 111. Then, the guide portion 140 can be designed based on the connection point reserved on base 110 for connecting to distribution assembly 130, so that the guide portion 140 can guide condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of distribution assembly 130 to the water storage chamber 111. Due to the newly added guide portion 140, the water storage chamber 111 can be placed at any position on base 110. The structural design of base 110 is not affected by the specific structure of piping 131, and the design difficulty of base 110 is reduced.

[0056] In addition, since the guide portion 140 can directly receive the condensed water in the dripping area 133, the other parts of the base 110 except the water storage chamber 111 do not need to come into contact with the condensed water, then other parts and structures inside the air conditioner 100 can directly or indirectly utilize the space between the guide portion 140 and the base 110, thereby improving the volume utilization rate of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the distribution assembly 130 has multiple dripping areas 133, and the guide portion 140 is capable of catching condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133. Since the guide portion 140 is capable of catching condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133, the frequency and difficulty of cleaning and maintaining the air conditioner 100 can be reduced. This can save manpower and material resources and reduce maintenance costs. The guide portion 140 catches condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 and directs this condensed water to the water storage chamber 111, which then centrally processes this condensed water. This reduces the impact of condensed water on the indoor environment, avoids problems such as indoor humidity and odor, and improves living comfort. The design of the guide portion 140 can also reduce the impact of water droplets on the interior of the air conditioner 100, reduce wear and damage to components inside the air conditioner 100, and thus extend the service life of the air conditioner. The guide portion 140 can effectively collect condensed water, thereby reducing the growth of bacteria and mold within the air conditioner 100, avoiding the degradation of air quality and increased energy consumption of the air conditioner 100 caused by the growth of microorganisms. In addition, the guide portion 140 receives the condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133, which can reduce the retention of condensed water within the air conditioner 100, reduce the obstruction to air flow, and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0058] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 15 and 16 , dripping area 133 includes a deviated region 1331 vertically offset from the water storage chamber. Deviated region 1331 forms a first projection 1332 on a horizontal plane, and water storage chamber 111 forms a second projection 112 on the horizontal plane. First projection 1332 and second projection 112 do not overlap. Specifically, for ease of description, dripping area 133 is defined as forming a main projection on a horizontal plane, and first projection 1332 is included in the main projection. The portion of the main projection that deviates from second projection 112 is first projection 1332. In other words, in one embodiment, a portion of the main projection may overlap a portion of the second projection 112. In this case, the portion of the main projection that does not overlap with the second projection 112 is first projection 1332. In one embodiment, the diverter 140 can receive condensed water dripping from the deviated area 1331, while the water storage chamber 111 can receive condensed water dripping from the non-deviated area 1331 within the dripping area 133. This means that the horizontal projection of the diverter 140 does not necessarily overlap with the second projection 112 (see FIG15 ). In another embodiment, the diverter 140 can receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133. This means that the horizontal projection of the diverter 140 at least partially overlaps with the second projection 112 (see FIG16 ). In another embodiment, the main projection and the second projection 112 do not overlap. In this case, the main projection is the first projection 1332, and the diverter 140 can receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133. In yet another embodiment, the entire main projection is covered by the second projection 112. In one embodiment, condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 can be directly received by the water storage chamber 111, and the guide portion 140 can be used to receive condensed water dripping from other dripping areas 133. In another embodiment, the condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 is received by the guide portion 140 and directed to the water storage chamber 111. In this case, the space between the guide portion 140 and the water storage chamber 111 can be used to install other components. Because the condensed water is received by the guide portion 140, these components will not be exposed to the condensed water and corroded by it.

[0059] In some embodiments, all dripping areas 133 of the distribution component 130 together form a third projection 134 on the horizontal plane, and the third projection 134 does not overlap with the second projection 112. The guide portion 140 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133. Specifically, the third projection 134 includes multiple main projections (the dripping areas 133 form main projections on the horizontal plane). In other embodiments, referring to Figures 15 and 16, a portion of the third projection 134 can cover a portion of the second projection 112. The guide portion 140 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from a portion of the dripping areas 133 (the portion of the third projection 134 that does not overlap with the second projection 112), and the water storage chamber 111 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from the remaining dripping areas 133 (the portion of the third projection 134 that overlaps with the second projection 112).

[0060] In some embodiments, the dripping area 133 of the pipe 131 has a deviation area 1331, that is, the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132 does not have a deviation area 1331, and the projection of the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132 on a horizontal plane overlaps with the second projection 112 (the projection of the water storage chamber 111 on a horizontal plane). In one embodiment, the diverter 140 can be used to receive condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 of the pipe 131 and the tank body 132. In another embodiment, the diverter 140 can be used to receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of the pipe 131, and the water storage chamber 111 can receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132. In yet another embodiment, the flow guide 140 can receive condensed water dripping from the deviated area 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the pipe 131, and the water storage chamber 111 can receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of the tank 132, as well as condensed water dripping from the non-deviated area 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the pipe 131. In other embodiments, the dripping area 133 of the tank 132 includes a deviated area 1331. That is, at least a portion of the main projection of at least one dripping area 133 of the tank 132 on a horizontal plane does not overlap with the second projection 112. In one embodiment, the flow guide 140 can receive condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 of the tank 132 and the pipe 131, and direct the received condensed water to the water storage chamber 111. The guide portion 140 can effectively receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132 and the dripping area 133 of the piping 131. This reduces the design burden of the base 110 in terms of effectively receiving condensed water from the distribution assembly 130 and directing it uniformly to the water storage chamber 111. Instead, the base 110 can focus solely on effectively supporting the air conditioner 100, thereby reducing the design and manufacturing complexity of the base 110. In another embodiment, the guide portion 140 can receive condensed water dripping from the deviated area of ​​the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132, while the condensed water dripping from other portions of the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132 and the dripping area 133 of the piping 131 are all received by the water storage chamber 111. The guide portion 140 can effectively receive condensed water dripping from the deviated area 1331 of the tank body 132. This reduces the design burden of the base 110 corresponding to the deviated area 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132, thereby reducing the design and manufacturing difficulty of the base 110. In another embodiment, the guide portion 140 can receive condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 of the tank body 132, and the water storage chamber 111 can receive condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 of the pipe 131.The guide portion 140 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 of the tank body 132. This allows the base 110 to reduce the design burden of the portion corresponding to all dripping areas 133 of the tank body 132, thereby reducing the design and manufacturing difficulty of the base 110. In other embodiments, the dripping areas 133 of the tank body 132 and the dripping areas 133 of the piping 131 both have deviated areas 1331. In one embodiment, the guide portion 140 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from all dripping areas 133 of the tank body 132 and the piping 131 (including deviated areas 1331 and non-deviated areas 1331) and directing the received condensed water to the water storage chamber 111. In another embodiment, the guide portion 140 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from the deviated area 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132 and the condensed water dripping from the deviated area 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the piping 131, and the water storage chamber 111 is capable of receiving condensed water dripping from other non-deviated areas 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the tank body 132 and the condensed water dripping from other non-deviated areas 1331 of the dripping area 133 of the piping 131.

[0061] It should be noted that the air conditioner 100 may include one or more guide portions 140, and the specific number of guide portions 140 may be set according to the specific conditions of the internal components of the air conditioner 100. The specific basis for defining the deviation area 1331 is as follows: During the design process of the base 110, in order to reduce the design difficulty of the base 110, the wall thickness and structure of each part of the base 110 are first designed based on the specific positions and qualities of the internal components of the air conditioner 100. Then, the lowest point of the base 110 can be selected as the water storage chamber 111. At this time, since the position of the water storage chamber 111 is not specifically set based on the position, shape, etc. of the distribution component 130, the dripping area 133 of the distribution component 130 may deviate from the receiving range of the water storage chamber 111. For the sake of convenience, the portion of the dripping area 133 that deviates from the water storage chamber 111 is defined as the deviation area 1331.

[0062] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 14 , the guide portion 140 is provided with a buffer cavity 141 with an upward opening and a guide port 142 connected to the buffer cavity 141. Specifically, the guide portion 140 includes side walls and a bottom wall, and the side walls and the bottom wall together define the buffer cavity 141. The buffer cavity 141 is used to buffer condensed water, and the guide port 142 can guide the condensed water buffered in the buffer cavity 141 to the water storage cavity 111. Condensed water on the surface of the distribution component 130 may splash in the process of dripping and contacting the guide portion 140. At this time, the side wall can block the splashing path of the condensed water, preventing the condensed water from splashing onto other components in the air conditioner 100, thereby preventing other components in the air conditioner 100 from being affected by the condensed water and keeping the interior of the air conditioner 100 dry and clean. In other embodiments, the guide portion 140 may also be a flat plate-like structure, that is, the guide portion 140 is only used to receive and guide the condensed water to the water storage chamber 111, without buffering the condensed water. This ensures that the condensed water can be quickly and accurately guided to the water storage chamber 111, avoiding unnecessary obstruction or leakage during the flow process.

[0063] Referring to Figures 17 and 18, in some embodiments, in order to improve the volume utilization of the air conditioner 100, a storage space is formed between the guide portion 140 and the base 110, and this storage space can be used to install a conductive element 170. The conductive element 170 can be a component in the air conditioner 100 that can conduct electricity, and the conductive component can be a component that can conduct current during operation. Since the guide portion 140 can receive condensed water, the storage space formed between the guide portion 140 and the base 110 can be kept dry and clean. Installing the conductive element 170 in this storage space can effectively protect the conductive element 170 and prevent it from being corroded by condensed water and short-circuiting. In other embodiments, the storage space formed between the guide portion 140 and the base 110 can also be used to install other parts. Since the guide portion 140 can receive the condensed water, the storage space formed between the guide portion 140 and the base 110 can be kept dry and clean. Installing other parts in the storage space can prevent the condensed water from splashing on the surface during dripping, thereby preventing other parts from being corroded by the condensed water.

[0064] In some embodiments, the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space can be a drive motor that can be used to drive the fan blades of the air conditioner 100, thereby generating airflow. This airflow acting on the heat exchanger 120 can increase the flow of air, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 100 and reducing the energy loss of the air conditioner 100. Since the mass of the drive motor is greater than that of other components, in order to improve the installation stability of the drive motor, it is installed in the storage space. This can fully utilize the space between the guide portion 140 and the base 110 and improve its installation stability. In addition, since the guide portion 140 can receive and guide the condensed water generated by the distribution assembly 130 to the water storage chamber 111, the drive motor can be placed in a dry and clean environment, which is beneficial to increasing the service life of the drive motor and reducing the maintenance frequency of the air conditioner 100. In other embodiments, the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space can also be a water pump. In one embodiment, the water pump can be used to drive condensed water from the water storage chamber 111 out of the water storage chamber 111, preventing the condensed water from accumulating in the water storage chamber 111 for a long time, leading to bacterial growth and affecting the quality of the air blown out by the air conditioner 100. In another embodiment, the heat exchanger 120 includes a condenser, and the water pump can be used to drive the condensed water from the water storage chamber 111 toward the condenser. Because the condenser can condense the heat exchange medium from a gaseous state to a liquid state, heat is released during the conversion process. The condensed water driven by the water pump to the condenser absorbs this heat and quickly vaporizes and evaporates, thereby preventing the condensed water from accumulating in the water storage chamber 111 for a long time, leading to bacterial growth and odor generation. In other embodiments, the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space can also be a water pumping motor. The water pumping motor is connected to a water pumping wheel. By driving the water pumping wheel, the water in the water storage chamber 111 is stirred into mist, thereby cooling the condenser 300 and further improving the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 300. In another embodiment, the heat exchanger also includes an evaporator, and the above-mentioned water pump or the water-pumping wheel connected to the water-pumping motor can be used to drive the condensed water in the water storage chamber 111 to be directed to the evaporator. In the air conditioner 100, the evaporator is usually used as a refrigeration component. Based on its working principle, the environment in which the evaporator is located is relatively dark and humid, and impurities, germs, etc. in the air are easily attached to the evaporator, which is very easy to breed bacteria. In addition, dust may accumulate on the surface of the evaporator. If the evaporator is not cleaned regularly, it will not only affect the cooling effect of the air conditioner 100, but may also affect the health of the user. Therefore, the condensed water in the water storage chamber 111 can be directed to the evaporator by a water pump or a water-pumping wheel, so that the evaporator can be cleaned, which effectively improves the recycling of condensed water, while ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 100 and the health of the user.

[0065] In some embodiments, the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space can be fixed to the base 110. By fixing the conductive element 170 to the base 110, the base 110 provides a stable support for the conductive element 170, ensuring that the conductive element 170 does not move or vibrate during operation, thereby ensuring the normal operation and safety of the air conditioner 100. Furthermore, the base 110 can serve as a heat dissipation channel for the conductive element 170, helping it quickly dissipate heat generated during operation and preventing malfunction caused by overheating. The base 110 can also provide a certain degree of protection for the conductive element 170, preventing it from direct contact with the external environment and reducing damage to it from external factors. In other embodiments, the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space can also be fixed to the lower sidewall of the guide portion 140. In this case, a certain air flow space is provided between the conductive element 170 and the base 110, through which the conductive element 170 can dissipate heat during operation, ensuring its normal operation. When the horizontal projection of the air guide portion 140 at least partially overlaps the second projection 112, the conductive element 170 secured to the lower sidewall of the air guide portion 140 effectively prevents the conductive element 170 from being corroded by condensed water. In other embodiments, the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space can also be secured to the base 110 and the lower sidewall of the air guide portion 140. By securing the conductive element 170 to the base 110 and the air guide portion 140, it can better resist external vibration and impact, improving its anti-interference capability and stability, thereby reducing the failure rate of the air conditioner 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, the conductive element 170 is fixed to the lower sidewall of the air guide 140 and spaced apart from the base 110. The space between the conductive element 170 and the base 110 is used to store condensed water. Specifically, at least a portion of the water storage chamber 111 is located in the space between the conductive element 170 and the base 110. Fixing the conductive element 170 to the lower sidewall of the air guide 140 and spacing it from the base 110 fully utilizes the space between the water storage chamber 111 and the lower sidewall of the air guide 140, thereby improving the structural compactness of the air conditioner 100.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to FIG. 14 , the air guide 140 is provided with a relief structure 143. This relief structure 143 forms a depression on the lower sidewall of the air guide 140 and a protrusion on the upper sidewall of the air guide 140. When installed in the storage space, the conductive element 170 can extend into the depression on the lower sidewall. In another embodiment, the specific shape of the relief structure 143 can also mimic the shape of the side of the conductive element 170 near the air guide 140. The provision of the relief structure 143 facilitates the installation of conductive elements 170 whose structural shape does not fit within the space of the rectangular parallelepiped, thereby fully utilizing the internal space of the air conditioner 100 and improving the volume utilization of the air conditioner 100. For example, when the conductive element 170 installed in the storage space is a drive motor, the relief structure 143 can be designed to mimic the shape of the drive motor, so that part of the drive motor structure can be accommodated within the relief structure 143.

[0068] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8 and 9 , the upper side of the base 110 is provided with an upwardly projecting first positioning side edge 113. The first positioning side edge 113 has a first side 1131 and a second side 1132 disposed in a laterally opposed manner. The heat exchanger 120 is located on the first side 1131, and the dripping area 133 is located on the second side 1132. Specifically, the dripping area 133 is located only on the second side 1132, thereby keeping the location where the heat exchanger 120 is located dry and clean. The fact that the dripping area 133 is located entirely on the second side 1132 facilitates the collection of condensed water from the dripping area 133 by the guide 140.

[0069] The air guide portion 140 includes a main air guide body 144 and a first engaging side 145 connected to one side of the main air guide body 144. The first engaging side 145 and the main air guide body 144 together define a first engaging slot 146 with a downward opening. The upper end of the first positioning side 113 is engaged with the first engaging slot 146. The first engaging side 145 is located on the first side 1131, and the air guide body 144 is located on the second side 1132. This allows the air guide portion 140 to be mounted on the first positioning side 113, that is, one end of the air guide portion 140 can be connected to the base 110 via the first positioning side 113. The first engaging side 145 is positioned between the heat exchanger 120 and the first positioning side 113. Specifically, the flow guide 140 is secured to the base 110 by the first engaging side 145 positioned between the heat exchanger 120 (located on the first side 1131) and the first positioning side 113 (the boundary between the first side 1131 and the second side 1132). In other words, the first engaging side 145 of the flow guide 140 is located between the heat exchanger 120 and the first positioning side 113. This ensures that the flow guide 140 is securely fixed to the base 110, thereby improving the positioning stability of the heat exchanger 120. The design of the first engaging side 145 engaging between the heat exchanger 120 and the first positioning side 113 fully utilizes the structural space of the base 110, allowing the flow guide 140 to collect condensate dripping from the dripping area 133 of the second side 1132 of the distribution assembly 130 without hindering the installation and removal of the heat exchanger 120.

[0070] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 8 and 14 , a positioning boss 1133 is provided on the sidewall of the first positioning side 113 facing away from the second side 1132. The vertical height of the upper sidewall of the positioning boss 1133 is lower than the vertical height of the upper end of the first positioning side 113. A laterally extending positioning flange 1451 is provided at the lower end of the first engaging side 145. The positioning flange 1451 is supported on the upper sidewall of the positioning boss 1133 and is sandwiched between the positioning boss 1133 and the heat exchanger 120. Specifically, the positioning flange 1451 of the air guide 140 is pressed against the positioning boss 1133, and the heat exchanger 120 is pressed against the side of the positioning flange 1451 facing away from the positioning boss 1133. As a result, the interaction between the heat exchanger 120 and the positioning flange 1451 secures the air guide 140 to the base 110, preventing the air guide 140 from shaking during transportation or use of the air conditioner 100. In other words, the connection between the positioning flange 1451 and the positioning boss 1133 defines the installation height of the air guide 140 within the air conditioner 100, enabling the air guide 140 to effectively receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133. This prevents the air guide 140 from being too close to the distribution assembly 130, causing the dripping area 133 of the distribution assembly 130 to be immersed in the condensed water received by the air guide 140, and thus damaging the distribution assembly 130 due to long-term erosion by the condensed water. At the same time, it also avoids the situation where the distance between the guide part 140 and the distribution component 130 is too large, resulting in the condensed water splashing after dripping on the guide part 140 due to the large movement distance during the dripping process, causing other components inside the air conditioner 100 to be corroded by the condensed water.

[0071] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 9 and 10 , the upper side of the base 110 is provided with an upwardly projecting second positioning side edge 114. The second positioning side edge 114 has a third side 1141 and a fourth side 1142 disposed laterally opposite each other. The air conditioner 100 also includes an electrical control box 150, which is located on the third side 1141, and a dripping area 133 located on the fourth side 1142. Specifically, the dripping area 133 is located only on the fourth side 1142, thereby keeping the location of the electrical control box 150 dry and clean, protecting the electrical control box 150 from condensation, and thereby ensuring its proper operation. The air guide 140 includes a main body 144 and a second engaging side edge 147 connected to one side of the main body 144. The second engaging side edge 147 and the main body 144 together define a second engaging slot 148, which opens downward. The upper end of the second positioning side 114 is secured to the second retaining groove 148, the second engaging side 147 is located on the third side 1141, and the air guide body 144 is located on the fourth side 1142. Specifically, the air guide portion 140 is mounted on the second positioning side 114 via the second engaging groove 148. The second engaging side 147 is secured between the electrical control box 150 and the second positioning side 114, further enhancing the stability of the air guide portion 140's installation and preventing it from moving or shaking due to vibration or other external forces during operation. This strengthens the connection between the base 110 and the air guide portion 140, thereby increasing the durability and reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0072] In some embodiments, referring to FIG9 , a limiting protrusion 151 is provided on one side of the electric control box 150 facing the air guide body 144. The limiting protrusion 151 is provided above the air guide portion 140 to prevent the air guide portion 140 from moving upwardly away from the second positioning side 114. Specifically, the air guide portion 140 can be engaged with the first positioning side 113 (and / or the second positioning side 114) via the first engaging slot 146 (and / or the second engaging slot 148). The limiting protrusion 151 provided above the air guide portion 140 further limits the upward movement of the air guide portion 140, thereby ensuring that the air guide portion 140 can be securely connected to the base 110. When the air guide portion 140 is subjected to an upward impact or pressure that causes it to separate from the base 110 (the first positioning side 113 is separated from the first latching groove 146 and / or the second positioning side 114 is separated from the second latching groove 148), the limiting protrusion 151 can apply a downward pressure to the air guide portion 140 to prevent the air guide portion 140 from separating from the base 110. When the air guide portion 140 is subjected to a downward impact or pressure, the first positioning side 113 (and / or the second positioning side 114) can apply an upward supporting force to the air guide portion 140 to prevent the air guide portion 140 from moving downward and affecting other components inside the air conditioner 100. In other embodiments, a limiting hole is provided on the side of the air guide portion 140 near the electrical control box 150, and the limiting protrusion 151 can be inserted into the limiting hole to prevent the air guide portion 140 from separating upward from the base 110.

[0073] In some embodiments, the projection plane is perpendicular to the direction from the distribution assembly 130 to the electrical control box 150, the electrical control box 150 forms a fourth projection on the projection plane, and the air guide 140 forms a fifth projection on the projection plane. The area of ​​the overlap between the fifth projection and the fourth projection is greater than or equal to one-fifth of the area of ​​the fourth projection. That is, along the direction from the distribution assembly 130 to the electrical control box 150, the air guide 140 can cover a portion of the electrical control box 150. For example, the relationship between the area of ​​the overlap between the fifth projection and the fourth projection and the area of ​​the fourth projection can also be 1 / 4, 3 / 10, 7 / 20, 2 / 5, 1 / 2, 11 / 20, 13 / 20, 7 / 10, 3 / 4, 4 / 5, 17 / 20, 9 / 10, 19 / 20, 1, etc.

[0074] When there is a lot of moisture inside the air conditioner 100, it easily adheres to the surface of the electrical control box 150 and forms condensation, which can easily corrode the outer shell of the electrical control box 150. In this case, the air guide 140 can shield a portion of the electrical control box 150, preventing condensation from forming on the surface of the shielded area. When the temperature inside the air conditioner 100 is lower than that inside the electrical control box 150, condensation is likely to form inside the electrical control box 150. This condensation can easily affect the components inside the electrical control box 150, causing short circuits or corrosion, thereby damaging the components and affecting the normal operation of the air conditioner 100. However, because the air guide 140 can cover a portion of the electrical control box 150, the covered area can be isolated from the cold air inside the air conditioner 100. In other words, the air guide 140 can provide insulation for the covered area of ​​the electrical control box 150. As a result, the portion of the electrical control box 150 corresponding to the area covered by the air guide 140 is less likely to form condensation. By arranging the important components of the electric control box 150 within the area covered by the air guide 140, it is possible to effectively prevent condensed water from corroding the important components of the electric control box 150, thereby effectively improving the safety of the air conditioner 100. It should be noted that these components may be electronic components (e.g., resistors, capacitors, transistors, etc.), circuit boards, connectors, etc.

[0075] In practice, it has been found that after the important components within the electrical control box 150 are installed, the volume of the electrical control box 150 occupies approximately one-fifth of its volume. To ensure that the guide 140 is effectively fixed to the base 110 and effectively receives condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of the distribution assembly 130, the larger the size of the second engaging side 147 of the guide 140 within a certain range, the more stable the guide 140 is when installed on the base 110. Furthermore, the larger the surface area of ​​the electrical control box 150 covered by the guide 140, the safer it is in use. Therefore, the area of ​​overlap between the fifth projection of the guide 140 on the projection plane and the fourth projection of the electrical control box 150 on the projection plane is at least one-fifth of the area of ​​the fourth projection.

[0076] In some embodiments, when the fourth projection formed by the electric control box 150 on the projection plane is not completely overlapped by the fifth projection formed by the air guide portion 140 on the projection plane, and the height of the air guide portion 140 near one end of the electric control box 150 is lower than the height of the electric control box 150 when it is installed in the air conditioner 100, the air guide portion 140 can also collect condensed water generated on the outer surface of the electric control box 150. In other words, the condensed water generated on the outer surface of the electric control box 150 can flow into the guide body 144 of the air guide portion 140 through the contact point between the air guide portion 140 and the electric control box 150, and then be guided to the water storage chamber 111 through the guide body 144.

[0077] In some embodiments, the fourth projection formed by the electrical control box 150 on the projection plane is completely covered by the fifth projection formed by the guide portion 140 on the projection plane, so that the side of the electrical control box 150 close to the guide portion 140 has a higher degree of dryness and cleanliness, thereby improving the use stability of the internal components of the electrical control box 150.

[0078] To ensure that the air guide 140 is securely positioned within the air conditioner 100, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG11 , the upper side of the base 110 is provided with an upwardly projecting first positioning edge 113. The first positioning edge 113 includes a first side 1131 and a second side 1132 disposed laterally opposite each other. The heat exchanger 120 is located on the first side 1131, and the dripping area 133 is located on the second side 1132. The air guide 140 includes a main body 144 and a second engaging edge 147 connected to one side of the main body 144. The second engaging edge 147 and the main body 144 together define a second engaging groove 148 facing downward. The upper end of the second positioning edge 114 is engaged with the second engaging groove 148. The second engaging edge 147 is located on the third side 1141, and the main body 144 is located on the fourth side 1142. The first positioning edge 113 and the second positioning edge 114 are arranged adjacent to each other. That is, the air guide portion 140 is provided with a first latching slot 146 and a second latching slot 148, and the base 110 is provided with a first positioning side edge 113 and a second positioning side edge 114. The first latching slot 146 and the second latching slot 148 are provided on adjacent sides of the air guide portion 140, and the first positioning side edge 113 and the second positioning side edge 114 are provided on adjacent sides of the base 110. The first latching slot 146 is secured to the first positioning side edge 113, and the second latching slot 148 is secured to the second positioning side edge 114, thereby improving the installation stability of the air guide portion 140.

[0079] In other embodiments, the first positioning side edge 113 and the second positioning side edge 114 may also be arranged opposite each other, that is, the first latching slot 146 and the second latching slot 148 are adjacently arranged on opposite sides of the air guide portion 140, and the first positioning side edge 113 and the second positioning side edge 114 are arranged on opposite sides of the base 110. The first latching slot 146 is secured to the first positioning side edge 113, and the second latching slot 148 is secured to the second positioning side edge 114, thereby preventing the air guide portion 140 from shaking and colliding with other components inside the air conditioner 100 when the air conditioner 100 is subjected to impact or vibration during transportation or use.

[0080] Referring to Figure 19 , in some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 can be a mobile air conditioner 100. The air conditioner 100 also includes a housing, which is connected to a base 110 and, together with the base 110, forms a housing. The heat exchanger 120, the distribution assembly 130, and the flow guide 140 are all disposed within the housing. The heat exchanger 120 can include an evaporator and a condenser, both of which are connected to a pipe 131. The flow guide 140 is used to receive condensed water dripping from the dripping area 133 of the distribution assembly 130.

[0081] In the mobile air conditioner 100, the compressor 160, evaporator, and condenser are all integrated together, meaning the mobile air conditioner 100 has no external unit (conventional air conditioners 100 are divided into indoor and outdoor units, with the condenser and evaporator located in the indoor and outdoor units, respectively). The mobile air conditioner 100 does not require professional installation or relocation, and is not restricted to a fixed location. Since all components of the mobile air conditioner 100 are supported by the base 110, the structural strength design of the base 110 is extremely important.

[0082] In some embodiments, to facilitate the movement of the air conditioner 100 , rollers may be provided under the base 110 .

[0083] During the cooling process of air conditioner 100, the evaporator is primarily responsible for evaporating the heat exchange medium from a liquid to a gaseous state. During this conversion, the heat exchange medium absorbs heat, thereby absorbing heat from the room. Specifically, as the heat exchange medium flows from the condenser to the evaporator, its pressure and temperature are relatively low. In the evaporator, the heat exchange medium absorbs heat from the indoor air, evaporating into a gaseous state. During this process, the heat absorbed by the heat exchange medium cools the indoor air, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

[0084] The condenser of the air conditioner 100 is mainly responsible for condensing the heat exchange medium from a gaseous state into a liquid state, and releasing heat in the process of converting the heat exchange medium from a gaseous state to a liquid state. The heat generated in this process is discharged to the outside, which is equivalent to transferring the heat in the room to the outside. Specifically, when the heat exchange medium flows from the evaporator to the condenser under the action of the compressor 160, its pressure and temperature are relatively high. In the condenser, the heat exchange medium dissipates heat through other structures such as heat sinks, causing the heat exchange medium to cool and condense into a liquid state. In this process, the heat released by the heat exchange medium is carried away by the outside air, thereby achieving a cooling effect in the room.

[0085] In heating mode, the condenser and evaporator of the air conditioner 100 interchange their roles. Specifically, the condenser is primarily responsible for condensing the heat exchange medium from a gaseous state into a liquid state. During this conversion, the heat is released into the room, which in turn increases the indoor temperature. The evaporator is primarily responsible for evaporating the heat exchange medium from a liquid state into a gaseous state. During this conversion, the heat exchange medium absorbs outdoor heat. The compressor 160 can transport the heat exchange medium that has absorbed heat from the evaporator to the condenser, where it releases the heat into the room, thereby achieving indoor heating.
