That is, the distance between the middle part of the first water receiving housing 121 in the length direction and the first scroll case 15 is smaller than the distance between the middle part of the first water receiving housing 121 in the length direction and the second water receiving housing 122, and the first scroll case 15 is closer to the middle part of the first water receiving housing 121 in the length direction than the second water receiving housing 122, i.e., the first scroll case 15 is concavely arranged along the first direction with respect to the water receiving tray, so that the first scroll case 15 does not occupy the space of the water receiving tray in the first direction, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the water receiving tray assembly in the first direction, thereby reducing the size of the air conditioner 100 in the first direction.

According to the water pan assembly of the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the first volute 15 is arranged on one side of the second water receiving shell 122 in the first direction and is connected with the first water receiving shell 121, so that the size of the water pan assembly in the first direction is reduced, the size of the air conditioner 100 in the first direction is reduced, the structural miniaturization design of the air conditioner 100 is realized, and the air conditioner 100 is more convenient to assemble and disassemble.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the first volute 15 is located at a first side of the second direction (front-to-rear direction as shown in fig. 2) of the first water receiving housing 121, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction, so that the first volute 15 does not occupy the space of the water receiving tray in the first direction, thereby facilitating the reduction of the size of the water receiving tray assembly in the first direction, and thus the size of the air conditioner 100 in the first direction.

In some embodiments, the second water receiving case 122 extends beyond the first side of the first water receiving case 121 in the second direction, that is, one end of the second water receiving groove 1221 is connected to the first end of the first water receiving case 121 and the other end extends along the second direction, so that an installation space for accommodating the motor is defined between the first water receiving case 121 and the second water receiving case 122, and thus the motor does not occupy the space of the water receiving tray in the first direction, thereby facilitating the reduction of the size of the water receiving tray assembly in the first direction, and further reducing the size of the air conditioner 100 in the first direction.

In some embodiments, the first water receiving case 121 defines a first water receiving groove 1211, the second water receiving case 122 defines a second water receiving groove 1221, the second water receiving groove 1221 communicates with the first water receiving groove 1211, and the first water receiving groove 1211 extends in a first direction toward a direction approaching the second water receiving groove 1221 and downward. The water thus dropped into the first water receiving groove 1211 can be collected into the second water receiving groove 1221 along the first water receiving groove 1211 by gravity, facilitating centralized treatment of condensed water.

Since the second water receiving groove 1221 has a smaller size in the first direction than the first water receiving groove 1211, the condensed water is collected into the second water receiving groove 1221, which is advantageous in that the height of the condensed water is increased, and thus the condensed water is discharged, compared to the case where the condensed water is collected into the first water receiving groove 1211.

In some examples, the cross-section of the first water receiving groove 1211 forms an inverted triangle or trapezoid. Thus, the condensed water can flow to the bottom of the first water receiving groove 1211 along the side wall surface of the first water receiving groove 1211, then flow along the first water receiving groove 1211, and finally be collected into the second water receiving groove 1221 for convenient centralized treatment.

In some examples, the first water receiving groove 1211 has a bottom wall, a first side wall 1212, and a second side wall 1213, the first side wall 1212 and the second side wall 1213 being disposed opposite in the second direction, the bottom wall of the first water receiving groove 1211 extending downward in the first direction toward the direction approaching the second water receiving groove 1221, the first side wall 1212 and the second side wall 1213 extending from top to bottom toward the direction approaching each other. So that the condensed water can flow down to the bottom of the first water receiving groove 1211 along the first and second side walls 1212 and 1213, and then flow toward the second water receiving groove 1221 along the first water receiving groove 1211 in the first direction, and finally be collected into the second water receiving groove 1221 for convenient centralized processing.

In some examples, the bottom wall of the first water receiving groove 1211 has a first side 1214 and a second side 1215, the first side 1214 and the second side 1215 being oppositely disposed in the second direction, the first side 1214 and the second side 1215 extending in a direction toward each other in a direction toward the second water receiving groove 1221.

That is, the dimension of the bottom wall of the first water receiving groove 1211 in the second direction gradually decreases along the first direction toward the second water receiving groove 1221, so that the water outlet rate of the first water receiving groove 1211 can be increased to allow condensed water to be quickly collected into the second water receiving groove 1221 for convenient centralized processing.

In order to ensure the flow rate of the condensed water in the first water receiving groove 1211 and to avoid the condensed water from remaining, so that the water in the first water receiving groove 1211 can smoothly flow into the second water receiving groove 1221, in some specific examples, the difference in height of both ends of the bottom wall of the first water receiving groove 1211 in the first direction is greater than 10mm. For example, the difference in height of both ends of the bottom wall of the first water receiving groove 1211 in the first direction may be 11mm, 13mm, 15mm, or the like.
