Referring to fig. 1 to 6, the present invention discloses a bottom case assembly 100, which can be applied to an indoor unit of an air conditioner. Specifically, the bottom case assembly 100 includes a bottom case 200 and a water diversion groove 300, a water drain outlet 310 is formed in the water diversion groove 300, and condensed water collected in the water diversion groove 300 can be discharged from the water drain outlet 310 to the outside of the air conditioner through a pipeline or other structures. Also provided on the bottom chassis 200 are a back drain tank 400, a first rear drain tank 500, and a second rear drain tank 600. Wherein both ends of the back drain tank 400 are respectively communicated with one end of the first rear drain tank 500 away from the water diversion tank 300 and the water diversion tank 300, and simultaneously, the second rear drain tank 600 is also communicated with the water diversion tank 300. The condensed water flowing down from the front of the air conditioning evaporator 900 may be received by the first front drain tank 700 provided on the bottom chassis 200, and the condensed water flowing down from the rear of the evaporator 900 may be received by the first rear drain tank 500 and the second rear drain tank 600. When the condensed water on the evaporator 900 is excessive, a part of the condensed water may flow down into the first rear drain tank 500 along the front surface of the rear portion of the evaporator 900, and another part of the condensed water may flow down into the second rear drain tank 600 along the rear surface of the rear portion of the evaporator 900. Wherein, the water in the first rear drain tank 500 may flow into the water guide tank 300 through the back drain tank 400 and be finally discharged to the outside of the air conditioner through the drain outlet 310, and the water in the second rear drain tank 600 may directly flow into the water guide tank 300 and be finally discharged to the outside of the air conditioner through the drain outlet 310. In summary, since the water flow path of the condensed water in the first rear drain tank 500 is longer than that of the condensed water in the second rear drain tank 600, the split flow function can be achieved when the condensed water is more, and the condensed water is prevented from being excessively accumulated in the water guide tank 300 at the same time, so that the overflow phenomenon can be prevented.
The bottom case 200 in the embodiment of the present invention is further provided with a second front drainage groove 800, one end of the second front drainage groove 800 is communicated with the first front drainage groove 700, the other end of the second front drainage groove 800 is communicated with the drainage groove 300, condensed water on the front surface of the front portion of the evaporator 900 can flow into the first front drainage groove 700, condensed water on the rear surface of the front portion of the evaporator 900 can flow into the second front drainage groove 800, so that condensed water on the front portion of the evaporator 900 can also be respectively guided through the first front drainage groove 700 and the second front drainage groove 800. In addition, when the condensed water flowing down from the front of the evaporator 900 into the first front drain tank 700 is excessive, the condensed water may flow into the first front drain tank 700 toward one end close to the water guide tank 300 and directly flow into the water guide tank 300, or may flow into one end away from the water guide tank 300 and flow into the water guide tank 300 through the second front drain tank 800, which also has the effect of increasing the water flow path length, preventing the condensed water at the front of the bottom case 200 from being excessively accumulated in the water guide tank 300 at the same time. Similarly, when too much condensate flows into the second front drain tank 800, the condensate may flow into the second front drain tank 800 toward one end close to the water guide tank 300 and directly into the water guide tank 300, or may flow into one end away from the water guide tank 300 and flow into the water guide tank 300 through the first front drain tank 700. Specifically, the first front drain tank 700 and/or the second front drain tank 800 may be provided in an arch shape with a high middle and a low two ends, and condensed water may flow into the first front drain tank 700 in a divided manner, one portion directly flows into the water diversion tank 300, and the other portion flows into the water diversion tank 300 through the second front drain tank 800.
Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in order that the second front drain tank 800 may receive condensed water on the rear surface of the front portion of the evaporator 900 while also receiving condensed water into which the first front drain tank 700 flows, the capacity of the second front drain tank 800 in the embodiment of the present invention needs to be set to be greater than that of the first front drain tank 700.
The back drain 400 may be disposed at a side or below the first and second rear drain 500 and 600. Referring to fig. 2 and 4, the back drain 400 in the embodiment of the present invention is disposed under the first and second rear drain 500 and 600 to reduce the space occupied by the bottom chassis 200 in the front-rear direction. In addition, in order to increase the flow guiding amount of the rear portion of the bottom chassis 200, the capacity of the back drain 400 may be set to be greater than the first and second back drain 500 and 600 because the back drain 400 needs to receive the entire condensed water in the first back drain 500 and a part of the condensed water in the second back drain 600 when the amount of the condensed water is large, and the capacity of the back drain 400 is set to be large, so that the condensed water can be prevented from overflowing at the back drain 400.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the water guide groove 300 may be provided at an end of the bottom chassis 200, and the back water discharge groove 400, the first rear water discharge groove 500, the second rear water discharge groove 600, the first front water discharge groove 700, and the second front water discharge groove 800 may be provided along a length direction of the bottom chassis 100 to increase an area that can receive condensed water on the evaporator 900.
The first rear drain tank 500 in the embodiment of the present invention is inclined downward in a direction away from the water guide tank 300, and condensed water can automatically flow into the back drain tank 400 along the first rear drain tank 500; the second rear drain 600 may be inclined downward toward the sump 300, and the condensed water may automatically flow into the sump 300 along the second rear drain 600. The first rear drain tank 500 and the second rear drain tank 600 are both set in an inclined state, so that the condensed water can automatically flow under the action of self gravity, and the condensed water cannot be accumulated in the first rear drain tank 500 or the second rear drain tank 600. It will be appreciated that the back drain 400 may also be provided to be inclined toward the water guide 300 so that condensate flowing into the back drain 400 may automatically flow into the water guide 300 under the force of gravity.
It will be appreciated that, as shown in fig. 3, although the condensed water in the first rear drain 500 disposed obliquely does not normally flow in a direction toward the water guide groove 300, in order to prevent the condensed water from collecting when the condensed water is more, a blocking rib 510 may be disposed on the first rear drain 500 at an end near the water guide groove 300, so that the blocking rib 510 may block an end of the first rear drain 500, further preventing the overflow from occurring. It should be noted that, the sealing rib 510 may be used to completely seal the end of the first rear drain 500, or may be used to partially seal the end of the first rear drain 500, and of course, the sealing rib 510 may not be provided under the condition that more condensed water is not generated.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 3, a plurality of overflow ports 610 are provided at a side of the second rear drain tank 600 in the embodiment of the present invention, and the plurality of overflow ports 610 may be connected to the first rear drain tank 500 and the second rear drain tank 600. When the condensed water in the second rear drain tank 600 is excessive, a part of the condensed water flows into the water guide tank 300 through the second rear drain tank 600 which is obliquely arranged, and another part of the condensed water overflows from a part or all of the overflow ports 610 and flows into the first rear drain tank 500, and flows into the water guide tank 300 through the first rear drain tank 500 and the back drain tank 400 in sequence. The overflow port 610 may enable communication between the first rear drain tank 500 and the second rear drain tank 600, and may further enable diversion of condensed water, preventing the condensed water from overflowing at the second rear drain tank 600.
Referring to fig. 6, a plurality of stop ribs 620 are further disposed on the second rear drain tank 600 in the embodiment of the present invention, and the stop ribs 620 may be disposed along the cross-sectional direction of the second rear drain tank 600 or disposed at an angle with respect to the cross-sectional direction of the second rear drain tank 600 to block a portion of the cross-section of the second rear drain tank 600. The cross-sectional direction of the second rear drain 600 is a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the second rear drain 600. Since the condensed water on the evaporator 900 may contain some impurity dust, the impurity dust may be accumulated at the drain port 310 and block the drain port 310, and the stop rib 620 may block a portion of the cross section of the second rear drain tank 600, that is, the stop rib 620 may stop a portion of the impurity dust in the condensed water, so that the portion of the condensed water and the impurity dust may flow into the water diversion tank 300 through the first rear drain tank 500 and the back drain tank 400, and another portion of the condensed water and the impurity dust may not flow into the water diversion tank 300 along the second rear drain tank 600 due to the stop of the stop rib 620. By arranging the stop rib 620, impurity dust in the condensed water can be prevented from being jammed at the water outlet 310, and the diversion of the impurity dust in the condensed water is realized.
Referring to fig. 4, the air conditioner according to the embodiment of the invention includes the aforementioned bottom shell assembly 100 and an air conditioner body (not shown), the evaporator 900 is disposed on the air conditioner body, the bottom shell assembly 100 is disposed at the lower portion of the air conditioner body and is located below the evaporator 900, wherein the front surface of the lower end of the evaporator 900 may be adhered to the inner surface of the first front drain tank 700. Since the air conditioner is supplied by the wind wheel, in order to prevent the wind from flowing out of the gap between the evaporator 900 and the first front drain tank 700, the evaporator 900 needs to be attached to the first front drain tank 700.
It will be appreciated that, after the evaporator 900 is attached to the first front drain tank 700, condensed water flowing down on the front surface of the evaporator 900 cannot be collected in the first front drain tank 700, as shown in fig. 6, a plurality of blind grooves 710 are formed on the surface of the first front drain tank 700 attached to the evaporator 900, the blind grooves 710 do not penetrate through the side surfaces and the bottom surfaces of the first front drain tank 700 and are communicated with the first front drain tank 700, and condensed water flowing down on the front surface of the evaporator 900 can flow into the first front drain tank 700 through the plurality of blind grooves 710. Specifically, the blind groove 710 extends in the depth direction of the first front drain groove 700 and penetrates the upper surface of the first front drain groove.
