A test tube housing mechanism for an air conditioner 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 13.

The water pipe housing mechanism 100 in the present application is used to house the water pipe 30, and the water pipe housing mechanism 100 may be used to supply water to the air conditioner 1000 to provide the air conditioner 1000 with water in a humidifying mode or a self-cleaning mode.

According to the present water pipe housing mechanism 100 for the air conditioner 1000, comprising: the container 10, the water pipe 30, the first fixed wheel 61, the moving assembly 20, the driving assembly 40, and the limiting assembly.

Specifically, the accommodating member 10 is provided with an accommodating space 10a, and the above-described plurality of components (the first fixed wheel 61, the moving assembly 20, the driving assembly 40, and the like) are all arranged in the accommodating space 10 a. Wherein the bottom wall 11 of the receiving member 10 is provided with a delivery hole 11a from which one end of the water pipe 30 is protruded. When the water pipe storage mechanism 100 stores the water pipe 30, a portion of the water pipe located outside the container 10 may be retracted into the container 10 through the outlet port; when the water pipe receiving mechanism 100 is extended out of the water pipe 30, a portion of the water pipe located inside the receiving member 10 may be extended out of the receiving member 10 through the delivery port.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, the first fixed pulley 61 is fixed in the accommodating member 10, and the first fixed pulley 61 is disposed adjacent to the delivery hole 11a, so that the first fixed pulley 61 can provide a good guide function for the water pipe 30 to improve the stability of the extending and retracting actions of the water pipe 30.

Referring to fig. 6 and 12, the moving assembly 20 includes a moving base 21 and a supporting wheel 22, the supporting wheel 22 is rotatably disposed on the moving base 21, the moving base 21 is movably disposed in the accommodating member 10, the water pipe 30 is wound and supported on the supporting wheel 22 and the first fixing wheel 61, and one end of the water pipe 30 protrudes from the outlet hole 11a, and the driving assembly 40 is fixed in the accommodating member 10 and drives the moving base 21 to move to retract or extend the water pipe 30. The limiting component is arranged in the accommodating component 10, and the limiting component can limit the water pipe 30 on the moving track of the moving seat 21 so as to prevent the water pipe 30 from derailing and improve the reliability of the water pipe 30 in the adjusting process.

The driving assembly 40 is used for driving the movable base 21 to move relative to the receptacle 10, and the supporting wheel 22 is disposed on the movable base 21, that is, the supporting wheel 22 can move relative to the receptacle 10 synchronously with the movable base 21. Since the water pipe 30 is wound around and supported by the supporting wheel 22 and the first fixed wheel 61, and the position of the first fixed wheel 61 is fixed with respect to the accommodating member 10, when the driving assembly 40 drives the movable base 21 to move with respect to the accommodating member 10, the relative distance between the supporting wheel 22 and the first fixed wheel 61 is changed, and the length of the water pipe portion wound between the first fixed wheel 61 and the supporting wheel 22 is changed, thereby controlling the extension or retraction of the water pipe 30.

Further, referring to fig. 6 and 7, when the movable base 21 moves relative to the receiving member 10 and moves to a side close to the first fixed pulley 61, the length of the water pipe 30 wound between the first fixed pulley 61 and the support pulley 22 is reduced, and the water pipe 30 may protrude from the outlet hole 11 a; when the movable base 21 moves relative to the receiving member 10 and moves to a side away from the first fixed pulley 61, the length of the water pipe 30 wound between the first fixed pulley 61 and the support pulley 22 increases, and the water pipe 30 can be withdrawn from the delivery hole 11 a.

It can be understood that by adjusting the winding manner of the water pipe 30 with the first fixed wheel 61 and the supporting wheel 22, the length variation manner of the water pipe 30 wound between the first fixed wheel 61 and the supporting wheel 22 when the moving assembly 20 moves can be adjusted. When the water tube 30 is wound in the manner of fig. 6, and when the moving seat 21 moves to a side close to the first fixed sheave 61, the length of the water tube 30 wound between the first fixed sheave 61 and the support sheave 22 is reduced. Of course, the moving assembly 20 may be arranged according to design requirements such that the length of the water pipe 30 wound between the first fixed wheel 61 and the supporting wheel 22 is increased when the moving seat 21 moves to a side close to the first fixed wheel 61.
