The water channel (2) comprises a sidewall and a bottom wall. The bottom wall is recessed to form at least one recess (3) for collecting water and/or accumulating debris. The recess (3) can be used to accumulate clogging debris, so as to prevent the issues of a clogged water outlet or poor drainage, and does not effect the flow of water through an existing water channel, thereby ensuring water flows smoothly through the water channel and facilitating cleaning of clogging debris accumulated in the recess (3).

Description

Drainage structure of air conditioner and air conditioner

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of air conditioners, and more particularly, to an air conditioner drainage structure and an air conditioner.

Background technique

The air conditioners circulating on the market are generally prone to dirty and clogged water channels when the air conditioners are used for a long time without cleaning. Most of the dirty water channels are caused by the user ’s air conditioner environment and difficult to clean thoroughly. The pollution caused by the use environment is mainly reflected in the fact that the dust in the indoor air will eventually fall to the periphery of the water channel by the flow of air. After repeated infiltration of water, the agglomeration will harden, and finally it will be gathered around the water outlet by the water flow. More and more deposits around the mouth form dirty plugs. On the other hand, there is a layer of water film in the water channel for a long time, and the microorganisms continue to grow under the unique breeding environment in the air conditioner, and the microbial emission of the microorganisms will aggravate the dirty plug of the water outlet of the air conditioner to varying degrees.

Dirty blockage of the air conditioner will eventually cause hidden dangers such as water leakage in the air conditioner, which directly affects the user experience.

detailed description

It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

The invention provides an air conditioner drainage structure, including a water outlet hole and a water channel communicating with the water outlet hole. The water channel includes a side wall and a bottom wall, and the bottom wall is recessed to form at least one for collecting water and / or sediment. Slot.

After adopting the above structure, the air conditioner drainage structure of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: the dirt can be well deposited through the groove, the problem of blocked water outlets or poor drainage can be avoided, and The influence on the original water channel circulation can ensure the smoothness of the water flow in the water channel, and the dirty blockages are deposited on the trough for easy cleaning.

The drainage structure of the air conditioner of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings 1-4.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3. In the air conditioner drainage structure of the present invention, the water channel 2 includes a main water channel 21 and a sub water channel 22 communicating with the main water channel 21. The main water channel 21 and the sub water channel 22 are along The outlet hole 1 is inclined downward (that is, inclined away from the outlet hole 1 to the direction near the outlet hole 1 and inclined downward, which is beneficial for the water to flow downward and flow out through the outlet hole). The outlet hole 1 is located at The auxiliary water channel 22 facilitates the flow of water in the water channel 2. The groove 3 is provided at the junction of the main water channel 21 and the auxiliary water channel 22 to facilitate the collection of water and / or sediment by the groove 3, or the main water channel 21 and the auxiliary water channel. The water channel 22 and the junction of the main water channel 21 and the auxiliary water channel 22 are provided with a groove 3, which can be collected multiple times to further reduce impurities in the water flow.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 4. The water channel 2 includes a side wall and a bottom wall. The bottom wall is recessed to form at least one groove 3 for collecting water and / or sediment. Dirty blockages are deposited to avoid blockage of the water outlet or poor drainage, and it will not affect the circulation of the original waterway 2. It can ensure the smoothness of the water flow in the waterway 2 and the dirty blockages are deposited on the tank 3. Easy to clean.

The groove 3 includes a groove bottom 33 and a first groove edge 31 and a second groove edge 32 connected to the bottom wall (one end of the first groove edge (31) and the second groove edge (32) is connected to the groove). The groove bottom (33) is connected, and the other end is connected to the bottom wall.) The first groove edge 31 and the second groove edge 32 are the connection points between the groove bottom 33 and the bottom wall, and may be transition surfaces or bends. The bottom of the groove 33 is lower than the first groove edge 31 and the second groove edge 32 in the direction of gravity, so that the groove 3 can collect water and / or sediment, so that the sediment will not flow away along the water flow. In addition, the first groove side 31 and the second groove side 32 are directly connected to the bottom wall, so that the water channel 2 is flat, and the smoothness of the water flow in the water channel 2 can be guaranteed.
