Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a schematic sectional view illustrating an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, where as shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner includes:

a housing 110;

at least one heat exchanger 120 located inside the housing, wherein each adjacent heat exchanger 120 is connected to each other and configured to perform a heat exchange process on the gas entering the air conditioner;

a water outlet end 130 formed by an end of the heat exchanger 120 near the air inlet 140 of the air conditioner and facing the air inlet 140, wherein condensed water formed during heat exchange treatment of each heat exchanger 120 slides from the surface of each heat exchanger 120 to the water outlet end 130;

a water receiving device 150 located inside the housing opposite to the water outlet end 130, the water receiving device 150 having a shape corresponding to the shape of the heat exchanger 120 adjacent to the water receiving device 150 and configured to receive condensed water dripping from the water outlet end 130.

Here, the housing 110 may be made of metal or plastic, and the shape of the housing 110 may be rectangular parallelepiped, square, or other irregular shapes. In the case where the shape of the case 110 is an irregular shape, the shape of the case 110 may be matched with the internal function module of the air conditioner, so that the internal function module of the air conditioner can be disposed inside the case. The housing 110 may protect the functional module located inside the housing 110. Note that the shape of the housing 110 is not limited here.

In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 120 may be an evaporator. It is understood that the heat exchanger 120 may perform a heat exchange process on the gas entering the inside of the air conditioner to convert the gas having a lower temperature into the gas having a higher temperature, or to convert the gas having a higher temperature into the gas having a lower temperature.

For example, in a case that the air conditioner is in a cooling mode, the heat exchanger 120 may perform a heat exchange process on the gas entering the air conditioner, and convert the gas entering the air conditioner with a higher temperature into a gas with a lower temperature; when the air conditioner is in the heating mode, the heat exchanger 120 may perform a heat exchange process on the air entering the air conditioner, and convert the air having a lower temperature entering the air conditioner into the air having a higher temperature.

In some embodiments, heat exchanger 120 may be formed from a plurality of heat exchange tubes connected side-by-side.

In some embodiments, the heat exchange pipe may contain a refrigerant therein, so that the gas in the space where the heat exchange pipe is located may be cooled by the refrigerant in the heat exchange pipe.

As described in the above embodiments, the air conditioner may include a plurality of heat exchangers 120, which may increase a heat exchange area, thereby increasing a speed of heat exchange treatment of the gas. Each of the adjacent heat exchangers 120 may be connected to each other, for example, the air conditioner may include a first heat exchanger, a second heat exchanger, and a third heat exchanger, the first heat exchanger being connected to the second heat exchanger, and the second heat exchanger being connected to the third heat exchanger.

In some embodiments, the heat exchangers 120 may be arranged at different locations, for example, the first heat exchanger may be located at a greater height than the second heat exchanger and the third heat exchanger.

In some embodiments, the air intake of the air conditioner is located at the bottom of the air conditioner, that is, the height of the heat exchanger 120 is lower near the air intake 140 of the air conditioner.

It can be understood that the condensed water will slide down from a higher position to a lower position, and therefore, the condensed water formed during the heat exchange process of the heat exchangers 120 will slide down from the surface of each heat exchanger 120 to the end of the heat exchanger 120 near the air inlet of the air conditioner.

Here, the water outlet end 130 may be formed by an end of the at least one heat exchanger 120 proximate to an air intake 140 of the air conditioner. For example, in the case that there is one heat exchanger 120 near the air inlet 140 of the air conditioner, the water outlet end 130 may be the end of the one heat exchanger 120, and in the case that there are two heat exchangers 120 near the air inlet 140 of the air conditioner, the water outlet end 130 may be the end of the two heat exchangers 120, which are formed together, or the lower end of the ends of the two heat exchangers 120.

The water receiving device 150 may be located inside the housing opposite to the water outlet end 130, so that the condensed water dropping from the water outlet end 130 can be received by the water receiving device 150.

In some embodiments, the water receiving device 150 may have a barrel-shaped structure, a basin-shaped structure, or a groove-shaped structure with a certain length.

It should be noted that the water receiving device 150 includes a water inlet end for receiving the condensed water, and the water receiving device 150 can receive the condensed water, and the shape of the water receiving device 150 is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the shape of the water receptacle 150 may correspond to the shape of the heat exchanger 120 proximate to the water receptacle 150.

Therefore, the condensed water on the surface of the heat exchanger 120 can be received by the water receiving device 150 to a greater extent, the possibility of the condensed water dropping from the air inlet is reduced, and the performance of the air conditioner is improved.

In some embodiments, the water trap 150 may be shaped to correspond to an end of the heat exchanger 120 proximate to the water trap 150.

In other embodiments, the inclination angle of the side wall of the water receiving device 150 may correspond to the inclination angle close to the water receiving device 150; or the side wall of the water catcher 150 may have a height corresponding to the height of the end of the heat exchanger near the water catcher 150.

For example, where the water outlet end 130 is formed by the end of one heat exchanger adjacent to the water collector 150, the shape of the water collector 150 may correspond to the shape of the end of that heat exchanger adjacent to the water collector 150; if the end of the heat exchanger close to the water receiving device 150 is a cylinder, the water receiving device 150 may be a circular groove, and the opening of the circular groove may be larger than the cross section of the cylinder.

Also for example, where the water outlet end 130 is formed by the ends of two heat exchangers proximate to the water collector 150, the shape of the water collector 150 may correspond to the shape of the ends of two heat exchangers proximate to the water collector 150; if the end portions of the two heat exchangers close to the water receiving device 150 form an irregular shape, the water receiving device 150 may be an irregular water receiving tank, and the inclination angle of the side wall of each position of the water receiving tank may be the same as the inclination angle of the side wall of the corresponding heat exchanger.

As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments, the at least one heat exchanger 120 comprises:

a first heat exchanger 121, a first end of the first heat exchanger 121 being connected to a first inner sidewall of the housing 110;

a second heat exchanger 122, a first end of the second heat exchanger 122 being connected to a second inner sidewall of the housing 110; (ii) a

The water outlet end 130 formed by the connection of the second end of the first heat exchanger 121 and the second end of the second heat exchanger 122;

a preset included angle is formed between the second heat exchanger 122 and the first heat exchanger 121, and the first inner side wall is opposite to the second inner side wall.

It can be understood that the heat exchange area can be increased by arranging the two heat exchangers, and the speed of heat exchange treatment of the gas is further improved.

As shown in fig. 1, the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122 may divide the interior of the housing 110 into two spaces, i.e., a first space between the first heat exchanger 121, the second heat exchanger 122 and the intake vent 140 and a second space between the first heat exchanger 121, the second heat exchanger 122 and the outlet vent (here, the outlet vent is an opening above the housing 110 in fig. 1, and is not shown by reference numerals). The first space can contain gas at a first temperature, after the gas at the first temperature enters the first space from the air inlet and is subjected to heat exchange treatment through the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122, gas at a second temperature is obtained, and the gas at the second temperature enters the second space along with suction force generated by a fan inside the air conditioner and is output from the air outlet.

A first end of the first heat exchanger 121 is connected with a first inner sidewall of the case 110, a first end of the second heat exchanger 122 is connected with a second inner sidewall of the case 110, and a second end of the first heat exchanger 121 is connected with a second end of the second heat exchanger 122; in this way, the interior of the housing 110 may be divided into two spaces, so that the gas entering from the air inlet 140 may be heat-exchanged by the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122.

And, a preset included angle is formed between the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122, where the preset included angle may be greater than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees.

It can be understood that the vertical distance between the two points is shortest, so that a preset included angle which can be greater than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees is formed between the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122, and compared with the arrangement that the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122 are perpendicular to the inner side wall of the shell, the widths of the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122 can be increased, so that the heat exchange area is increased, and the speed of heat exchange treatment of the gas entering the shell is increased.

Meanwhile, a preset included angle is formed between the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122, so that a height difference exists between a first end of the first heat exchanger 121 and a second end of the first heat exchanger 121, and thus condensed water formed on the surface of the first heat exchanger 121 can slide down to a water outlet end 130 formed by the second end of the first heat exchanger 121 and the second end of the second heat exchanger 122 from the surface of the first heat exchanger 121; the first end of the second heat exchanger 122 has a height difference with the second end of the second heat exchanger 122, so that the condensed water formed on the surface of the second heat exchanger 122 can slide down from the surface of the second heat exchanger 122 to the water outlet end 130.

Here, a first end of the first heat exchanger 121 is connected to a first inner sidewall of the case 110, a first end of the second heat exchanger 122 is connected to a second inner sidewall of the case 110, and a second end of the first heat exchanger 121 is connected to a second end of the second heat exchanger 122; the inside of the case 110 may be divided into two spaces so that the gas introduced from the inlet vent 140 may be heat-exchanged by the first and

second heat exchangers

121 and 122. Meanwhile, a preset included angle is formed between the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122, so that the heat exchange area can be increased, the speed of heat exchange treatment of the gas entering the casing 110 is increased, and the condensed water on the surfaces of the first heat exchanger 121 and the second heat exchanger 122 can slide to the water outlet end 130.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments, the water receiving device includes:

the opening of the water receiving tank 151 faces the water outlet end 130, and the water outlet surface of the water outlet end 130 is smaller than or equal to the coverage of the opening;

an inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 corresponds to an inclination angle between the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151;

the inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 corresponds to the inclination angle between the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151.

As shown in fig. 2, the notch of the water receiving tank 151 may face the water outlet end 130, so that the condensed water dropping from the water outlet end 130 may enter the water receiving tank 151 through the notch of the water receiving tank 151. Here, the water outlet surface of the water outlet 130 may be smaller than or equal to the coverage of the slot, so that it is ensured to a first extent that the condensed water dropping from the water outlet 130 can be received by the water receiving tank 151. Here, the water outlet surface of the water outlet 130 may be a side surface of the water outlet 130 facing the water receiving tank 151.

Here, the inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 may correspond to the inclination angle between the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151; the inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 near the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 may correspond to the inclination angle between the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151.

For example, an inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 near the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 may be equal to an inclination angle between the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151, or an inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 near the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 may be greater than an inclination angle between the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151. The inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 may be equal to the inclination angle between the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151, or the inclination angle between the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151 may be greater than the inclination angle between the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 and the bottom of the water receiving tank 151.

Thus, the covering range of the notch of the water receiving tank 151 is larger than or equal to the water outlet surface of the water outlet end 130.

It should be noted that the first heat exchanger 121 may include a first portion and a second portion, the first portion of the first heat exchanger 121 may be connected to the first inner sidewall of the housing 110, a first end of the second portion is connected to the first portion, and a second end of the second portion is connected to the second heat exchanger 122. That is, the first heat exchanger 121 may be connected with the first inner sidewall of the case through the first portion.

In some embodiments, the angle between the first portion and the second portion may be greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. Therefore, the heat exchange area can be further increased, and the speed of heat exchange treatment of the gas entering the shell is increased.

In some embodiments, the included angle between each portion of the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 at the corresponding position is greater than-5 degrees and less than 20 degrees.

For example, an included angle between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 is greater than-5 degrees and less than 20 degrees, and an included angle between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 close to the second heat exchanger 122 and the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 is greater than-5 degrees and less than 20 degrees.

It can be understood that the larger the included angle between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger is, the more obvious the shielding of the gas entering from the air inlet is; therefore, the included angle between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger can be reduced as much as possible.

Therefore, each part of the side wall of the water receiving device 150 can be parallel to the side wall of the heat exchanger at the corresponding position as much as possible, so that under the condition that the condensed water dropping from the water outlet end 130 can be received by the water receiving groove 151, the risk that the gas entering from the air inlet is blocked by the side wall of the water receiving groove 151 is reduced, and the air inlet volume of the air conditioner can be increased.

It should be noted that an included angle between each portion of the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 at the corresponding position may be determined according to an actual application.

In some embodiments, the water receiving tank 151 is parallel to the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 near the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121;

the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 is parallel to the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122.

Therefore, both the condensed water dropping from the water outlet end 130 can be received by the water receiving tank 151, and the risk that the air entering from the air inlet is blocked by the side wall of the water receiving tank 151 can be reduced, so that the air inlet volume of the air conditioner can be increased.

In some embodiments, the vertical distance between each portion of the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 at the corresponding position is greater than 5 mm and less than 15 mm.

For example, the vertical distance between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 is greater than 5 mm and less than 15 mm, and the vertical distance between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 close to the second heat exchanger 122 and the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 is greater than 5 mm and less than 15 mm.

It will be appreciated that if the vertical distance between the side wall of the water catcher 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 is small, the condensate on the surface of the heat exchanger 120 may form a water bridge between the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 and the side wall of the water catcher 150, i.e., the condensate may connect the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 and the water catcher 150. In this case, the condensed water located between the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 and the water receiver 150 may drip from the end of the water receiver 150 to the outside of the water receiver.

If the vertical distance between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 is large, the side wall of the water receiving device 150 may block the air entering from the air inlet.

Therefore, the vertical distance between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 is greater than 5 mm and less than 15 mm, which can prevent a water bridge from being formed between the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 and the side wall of the water receiving device 150 to some extent, and can also prevent the air entering from the air inlet from being blocked to the first extent.

It should be noted that the vertical distance between the side wall of the water receiving device 150 and the side wall of the heat exchanger 120 may be determined according to the actual application.

As shown in fig. 1 to 2, in some embodiments, a height difference between a side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and a side wall of the water receiving tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 corresponds to a height difference between a second end of the first heat exchanger 121 and a second end of the second heat exchanger 122.

In practical applications, a height difference between a side wall of the water holding tank 151 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and a side wall of the water holding tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 may be determined according to practical applications, for example, the height difference between the side wall of the water holding tank 151 close to the first heat exchanger 121 and the side wall of the water holding tank 151 close to the second heat exchanger 122 may be greater than or equal to 0 mm and less than 15 mm.

In some embodiments, the higher the height of the second end of the first heat exchanger 121, the higher the height of the water receiving tank 151 near the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121, the lower the height of the second end of the first heat exchanger 121, and the lower the height of the water receiving tank 151 near the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121; the higher the height of the second end of the second heat exchanger 122 is, the higher the height of the water receiving tank 151 near the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 is, the lower the height of the second end of the second heat exchanger 122 is, and the lower the height of the water receiving tank 151 near the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 is.

For example, the height of the second end of the first heat exchanger 121 is greater than the height of the second end of the second heat exchanger 122, and the difference in height between the second end of the first heat exchanger 121 and the second end of the second heat exchanger 122 is a; the height of the water receiving tank 151 close to the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 is greater than the height of the water receiving tank 151 close to the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122, and the height difference between the height close to the side wall of the first heat exchanger 121 and the height close to the side wall of the second heat exchanger 122 is a.

In this way, it can be ensured to a greater extent that the condensed water dropping from the water outlet end 130 formed by the second end of the first heat exchanger 121 and the second end of the second heat exchanger 122 can be received by the water receiving tank 151, and the risk of the condensed water dropping from the air inlet is reduced.

Fig. 3 is a first schematic structural view of a water receiving device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, in some embodiments, the water receiving device includes:

the water inlet end 152 is opposite to the water outlet end 130, and an edge of the water inlet end 152 extends toward the air inlet direction of the air inlet 140.

It will be appreciated that the water receiving device 150 may include an opening (e.g., a notch in the water receiving channel 151 of fig. 2) towards the outlet end 130 through which condensate dripping from the outlet end 130 may enter the water receiving device 150. Here, the water inlet end 152 may be an open sidewall, that is, an edge of the open sidewall of the water receiving device 150 facing the water outlet end 130 may extend toward the air inlet direction of the air inlet.
