Detailed Description

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood, a more particular description of the utility model will be rendered by reference to the appended drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present application may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, however, the present invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically described herein, and thus the scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

A water tray assembly and an air conditioner provided according to some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to figures 1 to 10. The dotted arrows in fig. 1, 2, 3, and 7 indicate the water flow direction, and the dotted arrows in fig. 9 and 10 indicate the gas flow direction.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a first embodiment of the present invention provides a water pan assembly, which can be used in an air conditioner and can be used to install a heat exchanger 204 of the air conditioner. Wherein the drip tray assembly includes a tray body 102 and at least two communication portions 110.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, a blocking member 104 is disposed in the middle of the tray body 102, the mounting position 106 and the drainage position 108 are respectively disposed on two sides of the blocking member 104 of the tray body 102, and the mounting position 106 can be used for placing a heat exchanger 204 of an air conditioner and can be used for receiving liquid such as condensed water generated on the heat exchanger 204. The drain level 108 may be used to drain liquid remaining in the tray body 102. The blocking member 104 is disposed between the installation site 106 and the liquid discharge site 108, and at least two communication portions 110 are disposed on the blocking member 104 to ensure that the installation site 106 and the liquid discharge site 108 are communicated, so that the liquid in the installation site 106 can enter the liquid discharge site 108 through the communication portions 110 and finally be discharged.

In particular, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the number of the communication portions 110 is at least two, and the heights of the at least two communication portions 110 are not equal. Thus, in the use process of the water pan assembly, liquid such as condensed water generated on the heat exchanger 204 can drop to the mounting position 106; in normal use, the liquid in the mounting site 106 flows through the lowest communication part 110 to the liquid discharge site 108, and flows away at the liquid discharge site 108. When the lowest communication part 110 is blocked, the liquid level in the installation site 106 gradually rises, and when the liquid in the installation site 106 is higher than the unblocked communication part 110, the liquid flows from the communication part 110 to the liquid discharge site 108 and flows away at the liquid discharge site 108.

Since the present embodiment has at least two connecting portions 110 in the disc body 102 and ensures that the connecting portions 110 have different heights, when one connecting portion 110 at a lower position is blocked, the liquid at the mountable position 106 can flow to the drainage position 108 through the other connecting portions 110 and flow away at the drainage position 108. Like this, promoted the reliability of water collector subassembly flowing back in the very big degree, reduced the risk of water collector subassembly hydrops.

Consequently, this embodiment is through the setting of two at least intercommunication portions 110, when the less intercommunication portion 110 of position blocks up, still can guarantee the normal flowing back of set body 102, has promoted the reliability of water collector subassembly flowing back in the very big degree, has reduced the risk of water collector subassembly hydrops, avoids set body 102 to breed the bacterium because of the hydrops easily simultaneously, has guaranteed the clean degree of water collector subassembly, has guaranteed the clean degree of the air conditioner of using this water collector subassembly simultaneously.

The second embodiment of the utility model provides a water pan assembly, and on the basis of the first embodiment, the water pan assembly further comprises:

as shown in fig. 1, 2, and 7, the communication portion 110 is a drain groove. The drain groove is disposed in close contact with the bottom wall of the tray body 102 and penetrates the stopper 104. Thus, it is ensured that the drainage groove is disposed at the bottom of the blocking member 104, and that the position of the drainage groove is low; when liquid is present at the mounting location 106, it will flow from the drain to the drain 108 and complete drainage of the mounting location 106 is ensured.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, during the use of the air conditioner, when the liquid of the heat exchanger 204 drops to the installation site 106, the liquid will remain on the surface of the installation site 106. At this time, since the liquid discharge groove is attached to the bottom wall of the tray body 102, the liquid in the mounting position 106 can timely flow through the liquid discharge groove and enter the communicating portion 110, and the liquid is discharged without the liquid level of the liquid discharge level 108 being higher than a certain standard, thereby ensuring the timely liquid discharge of the liquid discharge level 108 to a great extent. In addition, since the liquid discharge groove is provided in conformity with the bottom wall of the tray body 102, it is ensured that as long as liquid exists in the mounting portion 106, the liquid flows through the liquid discharge groove and enters the communicating portion 110, and further, the thoroughness of liquid discharge is ensured.

In addition, the water collector subassembly that this embodiment provided has like all beneficial effects of water collector subassembly of embodiment one, can promote the reliability of water collector subassembly flowing back, reduces the risk of water collector subassembly hydrops, no longer specifically discusses herein.

The third embodiment of the utility model provides a water pan assembly, and on the basis of the first embodiment, the water pan assembly further comprises:

as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the disc body 102 includes a first end 112 and a second end 114 opposite to each other, the bottom wall of the mounting location 106 is provided with a guiding surface 116, and the height of the guiding surface 116 decreases from the first end 112 to the second end 114. Thus, liquid dripping onto the mounting location 106 will flow under the force of gravity toward the second end 114. At least two communication parts 110 are distributed at intervals from the first end 112 to the second end 114. In this way, it is ensured that the heights of at least two of the communication portions 110 are unequal, and that the height of the one communication portion 110 closest to the second end 114 is the lowest and the position of the one communication portion 110 farthest from the second end 114 is the highest.

Specifically, when the liquid in the heat exchanger 204 drops to the mounting position 106 during the use of the air conditioner, the liquid will flow toward the second end 114 under the action of its own gravity; after the liquid flows to the second end 114, the liquid flows from the one communication portion 110 which is the lowest distance and the lowest position from the second end 114 to the drain level 108. In particular, when the lowest one of the communication portions 110 is blocked, the liquid level at the installation site 106 gradually increases, and when the liquid rises to the second lowest one of the communication portions 110, the liquid flows from the second lowest one of the communication portions 110 to the drain site 108. And so on until the liquid flows from the highest positioned one of the connections 110 to the drain level 108.

A fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a water tray assembly, which further comprises, on the basis of the third embodiment:

the deflector surface 116 includes a ramp (not shown). At least two of the communication parts 110 are disposed on the same inclined plane and are located at different positions of the inclined plane. Thus, the height difference of the different communication parts 110 is ensured, and the uniformity and the conductivity of the inclined surface to the liquid of the installation position 106 are also ensured.

Specifically, when the liquid in the heat exchanger 204 drops to the mounting position 106 during the use of the air conditioner, the liquid will flow along the inclined plane under the action of its own gravity and flow to the second end 114; after the liquid flows to the second end 114, the liquid flows from the one communication portion 110 which is the lowest distance and the lowest position from the second end 114 to the drain level 108. In particular, when the lowest one of the communication portions 110 is blocked, the liquid level at the installation site 106 gradually increases, and when the liquid rises to the second lowest one of the communication portions 110, the liquid flows from the second lowest one of the communication portions 110 to the drain site 108. And so on until the liquid flows from the highest positioned one of the connections 110 to the drain level 108.

The fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a water pan assembly, and on the basis of the third embodiment, further:

as shown in fig. 1, 2, and 3, the deflector surface 116 includes a plurality of inclined surfaces. Wherein, a plurality of inclined planes are connected, and the height of the plurality of inclined planes is unequal. In addition, at least two communicating parts 110 are respectively arranged on different inclined planes, so that the different heights of the communicating parts 110 are ensured to be different.

In particular embodiments, the plurality of ramps may include a first ramp 116a, a second ramp 116b, and a third ramp 116 c. Wherein the first bevel 116a is disposed adjacent to the second end, as shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the second bevel 116b is connected to the second bevel 116b, and the third bevel 116c is connected to the second bevel 116b, and ensures that the first end 112 is disposed. In this way, it is ensured that the first inclined surface 116a is lower than the second inclined surface 116b, and the second inclined surface 116b is lower than the third inclined surface 116 c. The first inclined surface 116a is provided with a first communicating portion 110a, the second inclined surface 116b is provided with a second communicating portion 110b, and the third inclined surface 116c is provided with a third communicating portion 110 c. In this way, the first communicating portion 110a is lower than the second communicating portion 110b, and the second communicating portion 110b is lower than the third communicating portion 110 c.

Therefore, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, when the liquid of the heat exchanger 204 drops to the installation position 106 during the use of the air conditioner, the liquid will flow to the first inclined surface 116a first and flow to the drain level 108 through the first communication part 110a arranged on the first inclined surface 116 a; when the first communicating portion 110a is blocked, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the second inclined surface 116b and flows to the drain site 108 through the second communicating portion 110b provided on the second inclined surface 116 b; when the second communicating portion 110b is also closed, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the third inclined surface 116c, and flows toward the drain surface 108 through the third communicating portion 110c provided in the third inclined surface 116 c.

It should be noted that the present embodiment is explained by taking only three inclined surfaces and three communicating portions 110 as an example, and in actual design, the number of inclined surfaces is not limited to three, and may be four, five, and the like; correspondingly, the number of the communication portions 110 is not limited to three, and may be four, five, or the like.

The second communicating portion 110b and the third communicating portion 110c may be provided at the second inclined surface 116b, and the second communicating portion 110b and the third communicating portion 110c may be provided at the third inclined surface 116c at the same time.

The sixth embodiment of the utility model provides a water pan assembly, which is based on the third embodiment and further comprises:

deflector surface 116 includes a stepped surface (not shown). The stepped surface includes a plurality of sub-wall surfaces with different heights, and at least two communication portions 110 are respectively disposed on different sub-wall surfaces to ensure different heights of the communication portions 110.

In a specific embodiment, the step surface may include a first sub-wall surface, a second sub-wall surface, and a third sub-wall surface. Wherein the first sub-wall is lower than the second sub-wall, and the second sub-wall is lower than the third sub-wall. Further, the first sub-wall surface is provided with a first communicating portion 110a, the second sub-wall surface is provided with a second communicating portion 110b, and the third sub-wall surface is provided with a third communicating portion 110 c. In this way, the first communicating portion 110a is lower than the second communicating portion 110b, and the second communicating portion 110b is lower than the third communicating portion 110 c.

Therefore, when the liquid of the heat exchanger 204 drops to the mounting position 106 during the use of the air conditioner, the liquid will flow to the first sub-wall surface first and flow to the liquid discharge level 108 through the first communication part 110a arranged on the first sub-wall surface; when the first communicating portion 110a is blocked, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the second sub-wall surface and flows to the drain surface 108 through the second communicating portion 110b provided on the second sub-wall surface; when the second communicating portion 110b is also closed, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the third sub-wall surface, and flows toward the drain surface 108 through the third communicating portion 110c provided on the third sub-wall surface.

It should be noted that the present embodiment is explained by taking only three sub-wall surfaces and three communication parts 110 as an example, and in actual design, the number of sub-wall surfaces is not limited to three, and may be four, five, and the like; correspondingly, the number of the communication parts 110 is not limited to three, and may be four, five, or the like

The second communicating portion 110b and the third communicating portion 110c may be provided on the second sub-wall surface at the same time, and the second communicating portion 110b and the third communicating portion 110c may be provided on the third sub-wall surface at the same time.

A seventh embodiment of the present invention provides a water tray assembly, and on the basis of the first embodiment, further:

the number of the communication portions 110 may be two, and are the first communication portion 110a and the second communication portion 110b, respectively; the second communicating portion 110b is higher than the first communicating portion 110 a.

In this way, when the liquid in the heat exchanger 204 drops to the mounting position 106 during the use of the air conditioner, the liquid first flows to the position of the first communicating portion 110a and flows to the drain level 108 through the first communicating portion 110 a; when the first communicating portion 110a is blocked, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the position of the second communicating portion 110b, and flows toward the drain surface 108 through the second communicating portion 110 b.

Therefore, the water pan assembly of the present embodiment can discharge water through the first communicating portion 110a with a lower position during normal use, and can discharge water through the second communicating portion 110b with a higher position when the first communicating portion 110a is blocked. Like this, can promote the reliability of water collector subassembly flowing back, reduce the risk of water collector subassembly hydrops.

An eighth embodiment of the present invention provides a water tray assembly, and on the basis of the first embodiment, further:

as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the number of the communicating portions 110 may be three or more, and is a first communicating portion 110a, a second communicating portion 110b, and a third communicating portion 110c, respectively; the third communicating portion 110c is higher than the second communicating portion 110b, and the second communicating portion 110b is higher than the first communicating portion 110 a.

Thus, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, when the liquid in the heat exchanger 204 drops to the mounting position 106 during the use of the air conditioner, the liquid first flows to the position of the first communicating portion 110a and flows to the drain position 108 through the first communicating portion 110 a; when the first communicating portion 110a is blocked, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the position of the second communicating portion 110b, and flows toward the drain surface 108 through the second communicating portion 110 b. When the second communicating portion 110b is also closed, the liquid surface of the mounting site 106 rises to the position of the third communicating portion 110c, and flows toward the drain surface 108 through the third communicating portion 110 c.

Further, the number of the third communicating portions 110c may be one or more. When the number of the third communicating portions 110c is plural, the heights of the plural third communicating portions 110c are different. Like this, a plurality of third intercommunication portions 110c can carry out the flowing back in the position of difference to further promote the reliability of water collector subassembly flowing back, reduce the risk of water collector subassembly hydrops.

The ninth embodiment of the present invention provides a water pan assembly, which further comprises, on the basis of the first embodiment:

as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the water tray assembly may be applied to an air conditioner and installed in a case 202 of the air conditioner. During the use of the air conditioner, the heat exchanger 204 is supported at the mounting position 106 of the tray body 102 and is located in the air duct, and the liquid discharge position 108 of the tray body 102 is located at the side of the air duct.

Particularly, in the use process of the air conditioner, the heat exchanger 204 is supported on the water pan assembly, and the temperatures of the two sides of the heat exchanger 204 are different along the air supply direction of the air duct. Also, for the cooling and heating performance of the heat exchanger 204 itself, it is desirable to ensure that as much of the air flow in the air duct exchanges heat with the heat transfer tubes passing through the heat exchanger, and to avoid air flow to the drain level 108 of the tray body 102 (because the drain level 108 does not have the heat exchanger 204).

Therefore, as shown in fig. 7, the water tray assembly according to the present embodiment optimizes the shape of the communication portion 110, and ensures that at least one bending of the communication portion 110 is present along the communication direction of the communication portion 110. In this way, the wind resistance of the communication part 110 can be greatly reduced by the at least one bent part, so that the amount of gas blown from the communication part 110 to the communication part 110 by the mounting position 106 is reduced, and the gas is ensured to pass through the heat exchanger 204 to exchange heat to the maximum extent.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 7, the inlet end and the outlet end of the communication portion 110 do not coincide in the communication direction of the communication portion 110. That is, the inlet and outlet ends of the communication portion 110 are provided at different positions of the blocking member 104, and ensure that the blocking member 104 is not notched when viewed from the side of the blocking member 104. Thus, the mounting and

drain sites

106, 108 on either side of the barrier 104 do not communicate directly. In this way, during the operation of the air conditioner, the amount of gas blown from the communication portion 110 to the communication portion 110 by the mounting position 106 can be further reduced, and the gas is further ensured to pass through the heat exchanger 204 and exchange heat.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 7, the communication portion 110 is Z-shaped in the communication direction of the communication portion 110. In particular, the zigzag design can ensure that the communication part 110 is bent, and the inlet end and the outlet end of the communication part 110 are arranged at different positions of the blocking part 104, so that the wind resistance of the air flow passing through the communication port can be greatly improved, the amount of the air blown from the communication part 110 to the communication part 110 by the installation position 106 is reduced, and the air is further ensured to pass through the heat exchanger 204 and exchange heat.

In this embodiment, further, as shown in fig. 8, the water tray assembly further includes a support 118.
