Abstract

A condensate water treatment apparatus (2) includes a water receiving tray (20) and an evaporator (21) disposed on the water receiving tray (20). The water receiving tray (20) is configured to store condensate water generated by an air conditioner. The evaporator (21) is configured to draw the condensate water in the water receiving tray (20) upward to a surface of the evaporator (21), so that the condensate water evaporates. An air conditioning system free from condensate water that includes a condensate water treatment apparatus is further disclosed.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A condensate water treatment apparatus, comprising a water receiving tray and an evaporator, wherein the evaporator is disposed on the water receiving tray, and condensate water generated by an air conditioner drops onto the evaporator, wherein
 the water receiving tray is configured to receive condensate water penetrating through the evaporator; and   the evaporator is configured to draw the condensate water to a surface of the evaporator, so that the condensate water evaporates naturally when the air conditioner does not operate or the condensate water evaporates under action of the air conditioner when the air conditioner operates.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein
 there is an included angle between the evaporator and the water receiving tray, so that a part of an orthographic projection of the evaporator extends beyond the water receiving tray.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a liquid level sensor and a heater, wherein
 the heater is embedded in the evaporator; and   the liquid level sensor is disposed on the water receiving tray, and is configured to trigger the heater to heat the evaporator when detecting that condensate water in the water receiving tray reaches a warning water level, or configured to trigger the heater to stop heating the evaporator when detecting that condensate water in the water receiving tray drops below a warning water level.   
     
     
         4 . The apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the water receiving tray, the evaporator, the heater, and the liquid level sensor are detachable structures.   
     
     
         5 . The apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein
 the evaporator is made of a porous material, and a surface of the porous material is coated with a water absorbing material.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus according to  claim 5 , further comprising:
 an evaporator mounting bracket, wherein the evaporator is fastened to the water receiving tray by using the evaporator mounting bracket.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein
 the evaporator is further configured to diffuse, to the surface of the evaporator, the condensate water dropping onto the evaporator.   
     
     
         8 . An air conditioning system free from condensate water, comprising the condensate water treatment apparatus according to  claim 1 , an air conditioner, and a cabinet. 
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 8 , wherein the cabinet is configured to accommodate a cabinet device, and the cabinet device is disposed with a control board and a power supply;
 the control board is configured to control the condensate water treatment apparatus; and   the power supply is configured to supply power to the air conditioner and the condensate water treatment apparatus.   
     
     
         10 . An air conditioning system free from condensate water, comprising the condensate water treatment apparatus according to  claim 2 , an air conditioner, and a cabinet.
