The air conditioner operates by performing a refrigeration cycle of the air conditioner using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, and supplies refrigerant to the air that has been conditioned and heat-exchanged.
The compressor compresses a refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.
The expansion valve expands the liquid-phase refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a cooling effect by heat-exchanging with a material to be cooled using latent heat of evaporation of a refrigerant. The air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space throughout the cycle.
The outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to a portion of a refrigeration cycle including a compressor and an outdoor heat exchanger, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve may be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger serve as a condenser or an evaporator. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air conditioner is used as a heater in a heating mode, and when the indoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the air conditioner is used as a cooler in a cooling mode.
An air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention is, as shown in fig. 1, including a housing 1, an evaporator assembly 2, a fan assembly 3, and a water pan 4, where the evaporator assembly 2, the fan assembly 3, and the water pan 4 are all disposed in the housing 1, and the water pan 4 is located below the evaporator assembly 2 and the fan assembly 3, as shown in fig. 4, the water pan 4 includes a pan bottom 41 and a side wall 42 disposed around the pan bottom 41, the inside of the water pan 4 is divided into a main water receiving area 44 and an auxiliary water receiving area 45 by a water retaining rib 43, the main water receiving area 44 is disposed corresponding to the evaporator assembly 2, the auxiliary water receiving area 45 is disposed corresponding to the fan assembly 3, the main water receiving area 44 is provided with a water outlet 46 communicating with the outside of the water pan 4, at least one water retaining rib 43 is provided with a water inlet gap 47, and the water inlet gap 47 is higher than the pan bottom 41 and lower than an upper edge of the side wall 42.
Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention is provided with the evaporator assembly 2, the fan assembly 3 and the water receiving tray 4, the inner space of the water receiving tray 4 is divided into the main water receiving area 44 and the auxiliary water receiving area 45, and the evaporator assembly 2 and the fan assembly 3 respectively correspond to the main water receiving area 44 and the auxiliary water receiving area 45.
When the air conditioner works normally, condensed water formed by heat exchange exists on the evaporator assembly 2, the condensed water slides down to the main water receiving area 44 along the evaporator assembly 2, flows to the water outlet 46 communicated with the outside along the main water receiving area 44, and then is discharged from the water receiving tray 4 through the water outlet 46. The main water receiving area 44 and the auxiliary water receiving area 45 are separated by water retaining ribs 43, and at least one water retaining rib 43 is provided with a water inlet notch 47. Since the water inlet gap 47 is positioned higher than the tray bottom 41, the condensed water normally discharged from the main water receiving area 44 does not flow into the auxiliary water receiving area 45, so that the auxiliary water receiving area 45 does not have condensed water. Fan subassembly 3 is corresponding with supplementary water receiving district 45, and supplementary water receiving district 45 does not have the comdenstion water, and fan subassembly 3 has avoided the risk that the fan absorbs water naturally.
When the air conditioner drains abnormally, the drainage speed of the condensed water is lower than the generation speed of the condensed water, so that the condensed water is continuously accumulated in the main water receiving area 44, and the water level of the main water receiving area 44 is increased. When the horizontal plane is higher than the position of the water inlet notch 47, the condensed water flows into the auxiliary water receiving area 45 through the water inlet notch 47 until the auxiliary water receiving area 45 is filled with the condensed water. Because the position of the water inlet gap 47 is lower than the upper edge of the side wall 42 of the water receiving tray 4, the condensed water can preferentially flow into the auxiliary water receiving area 45, the auxiliary water receiving area 45 has the function of secondary water holding, the horizontal plane is prevented from continuously rising, and the water leakage of the air conditioner is avoided.
In order to optimize the structural design of the air conditioner and the water pan 4, as shown in fig. 3, the evaporator assembly 2 includes a first evaporator 21 and a second evaporator 22, the first evaporator 21 and the second evaporator 22 are respectively disposed at two sides of the fan assembly 3, as shown in fig. 5, the main water receiving section 44 includes a first water discharge channel 441, a second water discharge channel 442, and a third water discharge channel 443 for communicating the first water discharge channel 441 and the second water discharge channel 442, the first water discharge channel 441 and the second water discharge channel 442 are respectively located at both sides of the auxiliary water receiving section 45, and correspond the setting with first evaporimeter 21 and second evaporimeter 22 respectively, first drain 441 separates through first manger plate muscle 431 with supplementary water receiving district 45, and second drain 442 separates through second manger plate muscle 432 with supplementary water receiving district 45, separates through third manger plate muscle 433 between third drain 443 and the supplementary water receiving district 45, and third manger plate muscle 433 is equipped with into water breach 47. The first drainage channel 441 and the second drainage channel 442 are communicated through a third drainage channel 443 to jointly form a main water receiving area 44, the water inlet notch 47 is only formed in the third water blocking rib 433, when the water level of the main water receiving area 44 is raised to the position of the water inlet notch 47, condensed water of the first drainage channel 441 and the second drainage channel 442 flows into the third drainage channel 443 and then flows into the auxiliary water receiving area 45 through the water inlet notch 47, and the condensed water of the first drainage channel 441 and the second drainage channel 442 is prevented from directly flowing into the auxiliary water receiving area 45.
The number of water inlet notches 47 may be one or more. As shown in fig. 4, two water inlet notches 47 are respectively disposed at two ends of the third water blocking rib 433. No matter which side drainage is followed to drain pan 4, when the comdenstion water horizontal plane rose to the position of intaking breach 47, can both flow into the supplementary water receiving area 45 through the breach 47 of intaking that is close to the drainage side, eliminated the influence of drainage direction, guarantee that the comdenstion water of main water receiving district 44 can be preferentially through the breach 47 entering of intaking and assist water receiving area 45 when the drainage is unusual, avoid the comdenstion water to gather in main water receiving district 44.
The distances from the two water inlet gaps 47 to the tray bottom 41 can be equal or unequal. In order to increase the water receiving capacity of the auxiliary water receiving area 45, as shown in fig. 6, the two water inlet gaps 47 have equal distances to the tray bottom 41. The distances from the water inlet gaps 47 to the tray bottom 41 are equal, so that the water receiving amount of the auxiliary water receiving area 45 cannot be limited due to the existence of the lower water inlet gaps 47.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the distance from the water inlet notch 47 to the tray bottom 41 is preferably 5-8 mm. This distance affects the conditions under which condensate from the primary water receiving area 44 begins to flow into the secondary water receiving area 45. The condensed water may flow into the auxiliary water receiving area 45 when the distance is too small, and the condensed water may not flow into the auxiliary water receiving area 45 in time when the distance is too large.
To facilitate the installation of each component inside the casing 1, as shown in fig. 7, the upper edge of the first water blocking rib 431, the upper edge of the second water blocking rib 432, and the upper edge of the third water blocking rib 433 are all lower than the upper edge of the side wall 42, and the upper edge of the third water blocking rib 433 is lower than the upper edges of the first water blocking rib 431 and the second water blocking rib 432. The upper edge of the water retaining rib 43 is lower than the upper edge of the side wall 42, so that interference with parts above the water pan 4 is avoided, and other parts can be conveniently installed.
To facilitate the installation of the air conditioner on site, the air conditioner may be drained from either the left or right side. The drain port 46 includes a first drain port 461 and a second drain port 462, the first drain port 461 opens on the side wall 42 of the first drain channel 441, and the second drain port 462 opens on the side wall 42 of the second drain channel 442. As shown in fig. 5, the air conditioner is installed with the left side slightly lower than the right side, so that the air conditioner drains water from the left side. As shown in fig. 6, the air conditioner is installed with the left side slightly higher than the right side so that the air conditioner drains water from the right side.
In order to facilitate the flow of the condensed water toward the drain opening 46, the bottom surface of the first drain passage 441 gradually slopes down from the end away from the first drain opening 461 to the end close to the first drain opening 461, and the bottom surface of the second drain passage 442 gradually slopes down from the end away from the second drain opening 462 to the end close to the second drain opening 462. A gradually decreasing inclined bottom surface is provided in the drain, and the condensate can flow along the bottom surface from a high position to the drain port 46 at a low position.
In order to facilitate the condensed water in the third drain 443 to flow to the drain 46, as shown in fig. 4 and 8, the first drain 461, the second drain 462 and the third drain 443 are arranged on the same straight line, and the condensed water in the third drain 443 can flow directly to the drain 46 along the straight line and then be drained to the drain tray 4.
In order to make the partial downward projection of the fan component 3 in the shell 1 completely fall into the auxiliary water receiving area 45, the auxiliary water receiving area 45 is set to be the same as the projection shape and has a slightly larger overall dimension structure. As shown in fig. 2, the fan assembly 3 includes a first fan 31, a second fan 32 and a motor 33, the first fan 31, the motor 33 and the second fan 32 are sequentially arranged along the length direction of the housing 1, and the downward projection of the fan assembly 3 on the inside of the housing 1 is approximately rectangular, so that the auxiliary water receiving area 45 is rectangular. In FIG. 2, L2And D2Respectively, the length and width of the downward projection of the fan assembly 3 on the inner part of the casing 11And D1Respectively, the length and width of the auxiliary water receiving area 45, L2<L1,D2<D1The downward projection of the part of the fan component 3 in the shell 1 can completely fall into the rectangular area of the auxiliary water receiving area 45, and the water retaining rib 43 can not influence the installation of the fan component 3, so that the air conditioner component has a compact structure, and the space of the air conditioner is saved.
For facilitating air intake of the air conditioner, as shown in fig. 4, a first avoiding opening 48 and a second avoiding opening 49 are formed at two ends of the tray bottom 41 of the water receiving tray 4, and the side wall 42 forms an irregular closed polygon along the tray bottom 41.
In order to facilitate the downward sliding of the condensed water along the evaporator, as shown in fig. 4, the first water blocking rib 431 is provided with a first supporting platform 434 at a side close to the first drainage channel 441, the first supporting platform 434 is used for supporting the first evaporator 21, and the supporting surface is an inclined surface with an inclined angle, so that the first evaporator 21 has an inclined angle after being installed, and the condensed water is convenient to slide down along the first evaporator 21; the second supporting platform 435 is disposed on one side of the second water blocking rib 432 close to the second water drainage channel 442, the second supporting platform 435 is used for supporting the second evaporator 22, and the supporting surface is an inclined surface with an inclined angle, so that the second evaporator 22 has an inclined angle after being installed, and the condensed water can slide down along the second evaporator 22 conveniently.
Specifically, the first water blocking rib 431 and the first support table 434, and the second water blocking rib 432 and the second support table 435 may be separate structures or may be an integral structure.
