Description

  The present invention relates to drainage technology, and more particularly to a drainage pump of an air conditioner.

A conventional drainage pump of an air conditioner discharges condensed water generated with the operation of the air conditioner to the outside. The drainage pump presented by Patent Document 1 includes a cap arranged at the lower part of the housing of the electric motor, a cylindrical outer cylinder part and an inner cylinder part that support the electric motor, and a guide part arranged in the drainage slit of the outer cylinder part It is the characteristic to have.
Patent document 1 is disclosing arrange | positioning a guidance | induction part in the slit for drainage of a cap other than the structure characteristic mentioned above. The guide part guides the water remaining inside to the outside.

  Since the structure of the cylindrical outer cylinder part and inner cylinder part which support an electric motor is comparatively complicated in patent document 1, there are many whole parts. On the other hand, the drainage slits arranged in the outer cylinder part and the slits arranged in the inner cylinder part do not correspond to each other, so that not only the path through which the water remaining inside flows out, but also the drainage becomes difficult. .

  The main object of the present invention is to provide a simplified drainage pump for an air conditioner that is different from the conventional one.

  It is another object of the present invention to provide a drainage pump for an air conditioner that has a relatively short drainage path and a better drainage effect.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a drain pump of an air conditioner includes a drain casing, an impeller, and an activation mechanism. The drainage housing has a suction port located below and a discharge port located on the side. The impeller is stored in a drainage housing. The trigger mechanism has a motor housing upper part, a motor and a motor housing lower part. The upper part of the motor housing is aligned with the lower part of the motor housing. The motor is disposed between the motor housing lower part and the housing upper part, and has a drive shaft connected to the impeller. The lower part of the motor housing is disposed above the drainage housing and has a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has an upward opening and a perforation located at the bottom. The motor is located above the cylindrical body. The drainage housing is located below the cylindrical body. The impeller is connected to the drive shaft of the motor through a bore in the cylindrical body. The cylindrical body further has a plurality of slits, a plurality of flow guide plates and a fluid passage. The plurality of slits are distributed in the cylindrical body so as to extend from top to bottom, and are arranged so as to be equiangular toward the axial center of the cylindrical body. A plurality of flow guide plates are obliquely extended from the cylindrical body to the outside along the edge of each slit, and extend to another edge of each slit across each slit and between the cylindrical bodies. Is formed at a predetermined distance. The fluid passage is formed between the plurality of flow guide plates and the cylindrical body. The internal space of the cylindrical body and the outside communicate with each other through a plurality of slits and fluid passages.

  As described above, unlike the prior art, the present invention realizes simplification of the structure and shortening of the drainage path, so that the drainage effect can be further improved.

  Hereinafter, a drainage pump of an air conditioner according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(One embodiment)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the drainage pump 10 of the air conditioner includes a drainage casing 11, an impeller 21, and an activation mechanism 31.

  The drainage housing 11 has a suction port 12 positioned below and a discharge port 14 positioned on the side.

  The impeller 21 is stored in the drainage housing 11.

  The activation mechanism 31 has a motor housing upper part 32, a motor 34 and a motor housing lower part 36. The motor housing upper part 32 is aligned with the motor housing lower part 36. The motor 34 is disposed between the motor housing lower part 36 and the motor housing upper part 32 and has a drive shaft 341 connected to the impeller 21.

  The motor housing lower part 36 has a cylindrical body 37 having an upward opening and a perforation 371 located at the bottom. The motor is located above the cylindrical body 37. The drainage housing 11 is located below the cylindrical body 37. The impeller 21 is connected to the drive shaft 341 of the motor 34 through the perforation 371.

The cylindrical body 37 further includes a plurality of slits 372, a plurality of flow guide plates 38 and a fluid passage 382. The plurality of slits 372 are distributed in the cylindrical body 37 so as to extend from top to bottom, and are arranged so as to be equiangular toward the axial center of the cylindrical body 37.
The plurality of flow guide plates 38 are obliquely extended from the cylindrical body 37 to the outside along the edge of each slit 372, and extend to another edge of each slit 372 across each slit 372. A predetermined distance is formed between the body 37 and the body. The fluid passage 382 is formed between the plurality of flow guide plates 38 and the cylindrical body 37. The internal space and the outside of the cylindrical body 37 communicate with each other through a plurality of slits 372 and a plurality of fluid passages 382.

  In the present embodiment, the flow guide plate 38 has an arc shape and extends along the clockwise direction toward the axial center of the cylindrical body 37. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the flow guide plate 38 may be extended along the counterclockwise direction. Good. That is, the producer can select the expansion direction according to the situation. If the flow guide plate 38 is designed in an arc shape, the induction effect can be improved.

In the present embodiment, the motor housing lower part 36 further includes a top member 361 and a bottom member 362. The top member 361 and the bottom member 362 are separately connected to the distal end and the distal end of the cylindrical body 37.
The slit 372 extends from the tip of the cylindrical body 37 to the end. If the top member 361 and the bottom member 362 are disposed, the slit 372 extends from the tip of the cylindrical body 37 to the end thereof, and the cylindrical body 37 is cut open. Each part of the cylindrical body 37 is connected to the top member 361 and the bottom member 362 to maintain the structural relationship.

  The above is an explanation of the construction of this embodiment. Subsequently, description will be given on the operating state of the present embodiment.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, when the drain pump 10 of the air conditioner operates normally, the impeller 21 rotates by the driving force of the motor 34 and discharges the water in the drain casing 11 from the discharge port 14. In general, the discharge port 14 is connected to a drain pipe (not shown in the figure) so that water flows out to the outside. Since it is a conventional technique to connect the drain pump and the drain pipe, the display and explanation on the drawing are omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, when the operation of the motor 34 is stopped or the power is turned off, the water remaining in the drain pipe flows back to the drain casing 11. At this time, since the impeller 21 is placed in the space inside the drainage housing 11 and becomes an obstacle, the reversely flowing water has a low flow velocity and slowly flows through the drainage housing 11 and flows into the cylindrical body 37 from the perforations 371. After that, it flows out through the slit 372 and the fluid passage 382. Since the slit 372 performs a function of discharging the water that flows back and overflows, it is possible to prevent the motor 34 from damaging the motor 34 by increasing the water level of the water that stays in the cylindrical body 37 without being discharged.

  As described above, it has been found that the drainage path is shortened by the fluid passage 382 including the slit 372 and the flow guide plate 38 and the drainage effect is further improved as compared with the conventional technique. In addition, unlike the prior art, the present invention can simplify the structure and reduce the number of parts.

  On the other hand, the flow guide plate 38 blocks the sound inside the cylindrical body 37 (for example, the sound generated by the rotation of the impeller 21 or the operation of the motor 34), and refracts and diffuses through the fluid passage 382. Noise can be suppressed.
