Abstract

The utility model discloses a water collecting disc and a kitchen air conditioner, which relate to the field of room air conditioning devices. By installing the first windage strips around the water collection tray, the first windage strips are positioned in the direction of the blower blowing to the evaporator, and the main function of the first windage strips is to slow down the air flow speed generated by the blower. By increasing the length and angle of the first windage strip, the airflow experiences some resistance as it passes through the first windage strip, thereby slowing down the wind speed. This helps to reduce the impact of the air flow on the water surface of the water collection tray, reducing the likelihood of water being blown out by the air flow.

Description

Water collecting tray and kitchen air conditioner

Technical Field

The utility model relates to the field of room air conditioning devices, in particular to a water collecting disc and a kitchen air conditioner.

Background

In a kitchen air conditioning system, an evaporator is one of the key components that serves to cool air. The evaporator works on the principle that heat in air is absorbed by a circulating refrigerant, thereby cooling down the air. During this process, moisture in the air condenses into water droplets, which requires a water collection tray to collect the condensed water.

However, there is a technical disadvantage in the design of the kitchen air conditioning system in that water in a water collecting tray under an evaporator is easily blown out by air flow. This is because the evaporator is followed by a region of higher airflow which creates a velocity as it passes through the evaporator, causing water in the water collection tray to splash out by the impact of the airflow.

Detailed Description

The present utility model will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First preferred embodiment:

a water collecting tray is applied to the lower side of the evaporator 4 as shown in fig. 1 and 2, and in fig. 1, a specific example is given as being applied to the lower side of the evaporator 4 of a kitchen air conditioner. The kitchen air conditioner generally comprises a box body 1, a wind source 2 and an evaporator 4, wherein the wind source 2 and the evaporator 4 are arranged in the box body 1, a water collecting disc 3 is arranged at the bottom of the evaporator 4 on the box body 1, the wind source 2 is also arranged in the box body 1, the wind source 2 is arranged at the upstream of the evaporator 4, the wind source 2 is preferably a fan, air flow is conveyed to the evaporator 4 through the rotation of a wind wheel, heat exchange is carried out on the air flow through the evaporator 4, and cool air is conveyed.

The space inside the cabinet 1 is limited due to its application to kitchen air conditioners. According to the configuration shown in fig. 1, the outlet of the fan is facing the evaporator 4, that is to say the evaporator 4 is located closer to the wind source 2, and during the heat exchange, the evaporator 4 condenses, and the resulting condensate falls down into the water collection tray 3.

The evaporator 4 has an air inlet direction, and the blowing direction of the outlet of the fan is the air inlet direction.

As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the water collecting tray 3 includes an air deflector 31 facing the fan side and a water collecting tank 32 connected to the air deflector 31, the water collecting tank 32 being recessed downward with respect to the surface on which the air deflector 31 is located. The water collecting tank 32 is provided with at least a first windage strip 321, and the first windage strip 321 is arranged at the air inlet of the evaporator 4 and at least partially positioned at the inner side of the projection of the evaporator 4. The inside of the projection of the evaporator 4 means that the evaporator 4 is in the projection in the horizontal plane. The first windage 321 is disposed obliquely to the air intake direction of the evaporator 4. The water collecting tray 3 is also provided with a water outlet 322 which is arranged on the water collecting tank 32, and the water outlet 322 is positioned at one end of the first windage bar 321 in the length direction. Preferably, the bottom of the water collection tank 32 is inclined toward the water discharge port 322 side.

In the present embodiment, the first windage 321 is located in the direction of the blower blowing toward the evaporator 4, and its main function is to slow down the air flow rate generated by the blower in the sump 32 at the lower side of the evaporator 4. The air flow is subjected to a certain resistance while passing through the first windage 321, thereby slowing down the wind speed. This helps to reduce the impact force of the air flow on the water surface of the water collection tray 3, reducing the possibility of water being blown out by the air flow. Also, the first windage 321 forms a drain channel 326 in a lateral direction, the drain channel 326 being located downstream of the air flow of the first windage 321 such that condensed water can flow to the drain 322 through the drain channel 326. By reasonable design of the drainage channel 326, the condensed water can be ensured to smoothly flow into the water collecting tray 3, and the water is prevented from being splashed out by airflow.

In the present embodiment, the first windage 321 is preferably disposed perpendicular to the air intake direction of the evaporator 4, and the vertical impact of the air flow is preferably directly blocked by the first windage 321 for reduction, as compared to the inclined arrangement. The presence of the first windage 321 results in a reduction in airflow velocity with greater loss of wind speed.

Preferably, the first windage bar 321 is located at the inner side of the projection of the evaporator 4, and the length direction of the first windage bar 321 is parallel to the length direction of the evaporator 4. The side of the first windage 321 adjacent to the wind source 2 is flush with the side of the evaporator 4 adjacent to the wind source 2. And the first windage 321 abuts against the bottom of the evaporator 4. The formation of negative pressure at the bottom is avoided so that the air flow mostly passes inside the evaporator 4. A small portion of the airflow is blocked or abated by the first windage 321.

Referring to fig. 4, further, a first notch 323 is disposed on the first windage bar 321, and a third windage bar 324 is disposed downstream of the first notch 323, where the length of the third windage bar 324 is greater than the length of the first notch 323. When the airflows impinge on the first windage 321, the airflows impinge on each other, which may generate noise. The provision of the first notch 323 guides the airflow impinging on the first windage 321 to the rear side. Also because the wind speed of the airflow is still relatively high here, the third windage 324 at a position downstream of the first notch 323 can further block or reduce the airflow in this portion. . Meanwhile, the first notch 323 facilitates drainage of the drain passage 326 from the first notch 323 to the drain port 322 when the amount of water in the water collecting tank 32 is large.

When the wind speed is high, the wind speed of the first wind resistance bar 321 may not be completely reduced, and thus, the wind collecting tray further includes the second wind resistance bar 325, and the second wind resistance bar 325 is disposed to be inclined with respect to the wind inlet direction of the evaporator 4. The second windage strip 325 is disposed at the air outlet of the evaporator 4, and at least partially disposed inside the projection of the evaporator 4.

Preferably, the second windage strips 325 are perpendicular to the direction of intake air to the evaporator 4. The second windage strip 325 is located at the inner side of the projection of the evaporator 4, and the length direction of the second windage strip 325 is parallel to the length direction of the evaporator 4. Preferably, the side of the second windage strip 325 remote from the wind source 2 is flush with the side of the evaporator 4 remote from the wind source 2. The second windage strips 325 are spaced apart from the first windage strips 321 to form drainage channels 326. After the second windage strip 325 is added, the blocking can be performed once more, and the wind speed is further weakened.

Further, a second notch 327 is disposed on the second windage strip 325, and a fourth windage strip 328 is disposed upstream of the second notch 327, and the length of the fourth windage strip 328 is greater than the length of the second notch 327. The second wind resistance bar 325 and the fourth wind resistance bar 328 together form a barrier to a portion of the airflow flowing out of the first gap 323. At the same time, the second notch 327 facilitates draining of the drain channel 326 from the second notch 327 to the drain opening 322 when the amount of water in the sump 32 is large.

Further, the water collecting tray 3 further includes a fifth windage strip 329, disposed on the ends of the first windage strip 321 and the second windage strip 325, and a third notch 330 is disposed on the fifth windage strip 329. The water discharge function can be provided, and the air quantity of the air flow entering the water discharge channel 326 can be appropriately reduced.

Further, a first support lug 331 extending toward the upstream side is provided at the first notch 323 of the first windage strip 321, and a second support lug 332 extending toward the drain 322 side is provided at the third notch 330 of the fifth windage strip 329. The first and second lugs 331 and 332 further block and attenuate the air flow flowing to both sides by striking behind the first windage 321.

In other embodiments, to increase the barrier abatement efficiency, other windage strips may also be provided between the first 321 and second 325 windage strips on the underside of the evaporator 4.

The above-described embodiments are provided for illustration only and not for limitation of the present utility model, and modifications may be made to the embodiments without creative contribution by those skilled in the art after reading the present specification, as long as they are protected by patent laws within the scope of claims of the present utility model.
