The upper cover unit 3 includes an upper housing 31 having two water inlet holes 310 extending through the top and communicating with the buffer space 20, and two connecting members 32 extending outward from the water inlet holes 310, respectively.

The retaining wall 23 has a plurality of overflow slats 231 spaced from each other and extending between the water collecting area 201 and the water discharging area 202. The two positions correspond to the water inlet hole 310 and extend upward from the bottom. And a water blocking portion 232 located below the corresponding overflow water tank 231, and four water guiding portions 233 extending upward from the bottom and located below the other overflow water tanks 231 and extending in a zigzag manner in the lateral direction, the water guiding portions 233 are two The two are respectively located on opposite sides of the water blocking portion 232. The positions of the overflow tanks 231 are respectively corresponding to the drainage sections 209, and the lower housing 21 further has a bottom plate 211 located at the bottom of the water collection area 201, and a plurality of the drainage holes 209 are respectively associated with the bottom plate The 211 is flushed downwardly into a conical plate 212 extending in a tapered shape. The water outlet holes 210 are formed at the bottom end of the conical plates 212 and communicate with the water discharge zone 202.

Referring to Figures 4 and 5, each of the outlet pipes 25 extends along an axis, and each of the outlet pipes 25 has an end face 251 which is acutely angled with the axis. In addition to the directionality for identifying the installation, the end surface 251 can be guided by the end surface 251 to slightly adjust the water discharge direction when the water flows out through each of the water outlet pipes 25. Each of the connecting members 22 has two deforming portions 221 spaced apart in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction, and the deforming portions 221 have a deformation margin which is deformed toward each other and then reset.

Referring to FIG. 6 , before the embodiment is positioned in the air conditioning system 9 , two connecting holes 911 respectively for the connecting members 22 are respectively disposed in the outer casing 91 of the air conditioning system 9 , and a plurality of the connecting holes 911 respectively The through hole 912 is formed through the outlet pipe 25. It should be noted that the connection hole 911 and the through hole 912 are respectively matched with the number of the connecting members 22 and the outlet pipes 25, and the number of the connecting members 22 and the outlet pipes 25 can be determined according to The demand changes freely and is not limited to the amount shown in the diagram of this case. When the connecting members 22 are respectively disposed in the connecting holes 911, the two deforming portions 221 of each connecting member 22 are firstly deformed toward each other by the pushing force of the hole wall, and then completely pass through the corresponding connecting holes. The reset at 911 allows the embodiment to be positioned over the outer casing 91 of the air conditioning system 9 through the connectors 22. At this time, since the positions of the through holes 912 are respectively matched with the outlet pipes 25, the outlet pipes 25 can also be inserted into the inner space 910 of the air conditioning system 9 through the through holes 912. The connecting members 32 of the upper cover unit 3 are adapted to be connected to different water sources, for example, tap water may be separately connected, or the condensed water used in the operation of the air conditioning system 9 itself may be selected according to different use requirements.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, when water enters the water collecting area 201 of the buffer space 20 via any of the connecting members 32, water first flows from the position below the connecting member 32 to the surroundings, that is, The height of the water level in the water collecting area 201 should be gradually lowered in a direction extending from the lower side of the connecting member 32 toward the periphery. In order to allow water to flow uniformly into the water discharge zone 202 and to smoothly discharge water from the water outlet holes 210, the retaining wall 23 is formed with different water blocking portions 232 at different positions from the nozzle members 32. And the water guiding portions 233. The retaining wall 23 forms the water blocking portion 232 at a position relatively close to the header 32, that is, a position near the center as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, when the water level is gradually increased in the water collecting area 201, since each of the water blocking portions 232 is in the form of a flat plate extending in a single direction, the water liquid is affected by the surface tension of the water. The face must be above the buffer block 232 for a buffer distance D to overflow into the water outlet 202. The retaining wall 23 forms the water guiding portion 233 at a position farther from the connecting members 32, that is, at positions on both sides as shown in FIG. When the water gradually flows from the center toward both sides, the liquid surface is not immediately equal to the liquid level close to the nozzle members 32. Since each of the water guiding portions 233 extends continuously in a zigzag manner in the lateral direction, as shown in FIG. In the case where the water contacts the water guiding portions 233, the surface tension of the water is dispersed in different directions. Therefore, as long as the liquid level is higher than the water guiding portions 233, the water is immediately discharged into the water discharging portion 202. With the design of the water blocking portion 232 and the water guiding portion 233 of the retaining wall 23, the water flows through each overflow tank 231 into the corresponding drainage section 209 evenly, so as to make each flow out at the same time. The water volume of the water outlet hole 210 is uniform.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, it is specifically noted that the water in each drainage section 209 will pass through the respective tapered plates 212 of the lower casing 21, and the cross section of each tapered plate 212 will be more The smaller the water outlet hole 210 is, the smaller the water pressure can be gradually increased, so that the water can be discharged through the water outlet pipes 25 with a relatively large water pressure.

Referring to FIG. 11, when the air conditioning system 9 is in operation, the water passing through the buffer space 20 of the embodiment will uniformly discharge water from the outlet pipes 25 disposed in the space 910 of the air conditioning system 9, for the air conditioning system 9 The fin unit 92 is directly sprayed, and the fin unit 92 can be cooled more quickly by a water-cooling mechanism, thereby not only ensuring that the air conditioning system 9 maintains normal operation, and in the case where the fin unit 92 dissipates heat rapidly, The compressor (not shown) of the air conditioning system 9 can naturally operate more efficiently to achieve an energy saving effect.

In summary, the cooling and energy-saving device of the air conditioning system of the present invention is installed on the air conditioning system 9 to introduce additional cooling water, and generates a water-cooling heat dissipation mechanism for the fin unit 92, so that the fin unit 92 can be quickly In addition to maintaining the efficient operation of the air conditioning system 9, the cooling can achieve the same effect of energy saving, so that the object of the present invention can be achieved.
