Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a drain pipe assembly 100 of an indoor unit of an air conditioner, where the indoor unit includes a casing and a heat exchanger disposed in the casing, and the heat exchanger generates condensed water when the air conditioner operates in a defrosting or low-temperature condition. The indoor unit further comprises a water pan, the water pan is arranged below the heat exchanger and used for receiving condensed water generated by the heat exchanger, a drain hole is formed in the bottom wall of the water pan, one end of the drain pipe 10 is connected to the drain hole, and the other end of the drain pipe 10 is communicated with the outside. After the condensed water flows into the water receiving tray, the condensed water flows into the drain pipe 10 through the drain hole, and then flows out to the outside through the drain pipe 10.

The drain pipe assembly 100 includes a drain pipe 10, a baffle 20, and an operating member 40.

The drain pipe 10 defines a passage 102 for draining the condensate water produced by the heat exchanger of the indoor unit, and the condensate water in the drip pan flows into the passage 102 and is drained from the passage 102.

The drain pipe 10 may be a section of pipeline, or may be a plurality of connected sections of pipeline, and the plurality of sections of pipeline are sequentially inserted to form the integral drain pipe 10. As shown in fig. 1, the drain comprises 2 sections of pipe.

The baffle 20 is disposed within the channel 102 and is movable relative to the drain pipe 10 to open or close the drain pipe 10.

As shown in fig. 2, in a state where the drain pipe 10 is closed by the shutter 20, foreign objects such as flying insects from the outside cannot enter the indoor unit through the drain pipe 10, and the flying insects can be prevented from affecting the operation of the indoor unit.

The operating member 40 is engaged with the baffle 20, and the operating member 40 can move the baffle 20 relative to the drain pipe 10 to open or close the drain pipe 10. As shown in fig. 3, the shutter 20 opens the drain pipe by operating the operating member 40.

Manual operation operating parts 40, operating parts 40 can drive baffle 20 and move for drain pipe 10, realize the switching of drain pipe 10, and the user can be the nimble drainage opportunity of selecting drain pipe 10 of requirement of self like this, for example to the lower user of frequency of use of air conditioner, can operate operating parts 40 at any time, make drain pipe 10 drainage, avoid the condensate water liquid level can not reach the problem that predetermines the liquid level and the condensate water that leads to can not discharge for a long time.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the drain pipe assembly 100 further includes a reset element 50, the reset element 50 is disposed between the baffle 20 and the drain pipe 10, when the gravity of the condensed water is greater than a preset gravity, the baffle 20 is driven by the gravity of the condensed water to move relative to the drain pipe 10 to open the drain pipe 10, and the reset element 50 is deformed to drive the baffle 20 to reset.

As the condensate accumulates above the baffle 20, the gravity of the condensate increases. The acting force of the condensed water applied on the baffle 20 is increasingly greater, and when the gravity of the condensed water is greater than the preset gravity, the acting force of the condensed water applied on the baffle 20 drives the baffle 20 to move relative to the drain pipe 10, and the drain pipe 10 is opened.

Except that the user can realize the drainage of drain pipe 10 through operation operating parts 40 like this, when the user forgets that the condition such as drain pipe 10 drainage takes place and leads to the comdenstion water to be overstocked, the gravity of comdenstion water can drive baffle 20 and open drain pipe 10 to avoid the comdenstion water to overstock. Thereby the scheme of this application both can realize the nimble drainage of user, can also guarantee that the comdenstion water can not excessively be kept for the comdenstion water can in time be discharged.

Be equipped with the piece 50 that resets between baffle 20 and the drain pipe 10, drive baffle 20 at the comdenstion water and open the in-process of drain pipe 10, the piece 50 that resets takes place deformation, and when the effort that the comdenstion water was applyed on baffle 20 was less than the reset power of the piece 50 that resets, the piece 50 that resets resumes deformation to drive baffle 20 and reset, baffle 20 reverts the state of closing drain pipe 10.

The reset piece 50 can drive the baffle 20 to reset in time so as to close the drain pipe 10, and the baffle 20 can reciprocate under the resultant force of the condensate water acting force and the action of the reset piece 50.

As for the setting position of the restoring member 50, in a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 4, the baffle 20 moves relative to the drain pipe 10 in the discharging direction of the condensed water in the channel 102, for example, the baffle 20 moves up and down integrally relative to the drain pipe 10, in this case, the restoring member 50 may be in the form of a spring or a resilient sheet, and the restoring member 50 is located below the baffle 20 and supported between the baffle 20 and the drain pipe 10. When the gravity of the condensed water is greater than the preset gravity, the condensed water drives the baffle 20 to move downwards, the reset piece 50 is compressed, along with the discharge of the condensed water amount, the acting force exerted on the baffle 20 by the condensed water is reduced, and when the acting force is smaller than the reset force of the reset piece 50, the reset piece 50 drives the baffle 20 to move upwards to close the drain pipe 10.
