Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to a water receiving pan assembly for refrigeration equipment and the refrigeration equipment. Background Art

[0002] The refrigeration function of the mainstream refrigerators on the market is mainly achieved through the evaporator and the refrigerant in the pipeline. During the use of the refrigerator, since the temperature of the evaporator is lower than the external temperature, the evaporator may condense the water vapor in the external air and frost it on the surface of the evaporator, which will produce a large amount of ice cubes on the evaporator, which will easily affect the refrigeration effect and efficiency of the refrigerator and even cause quality accidents. In order to solve the problem of evaporator frosting, a heating wire is provided on the evaporator in the prior art, and the frost is removed from the evaporator by heating it during the defrosting process. At the same time, a water receiving pan is provided directly below the evaporator, and the water receiving pan is used to receive the melted frost. The water receiving pan has a drainage channel to discharge the melted frost on the evaporator through the drainage channel.

[0003] The water receiving tray is generally arranged below the evaporator, and the cross-section of the water receiving tray is approximately an inverted cone. The water inlet of the drainage channel is generally located at the lowest position of the water receiving tray. The heating wire is wrapped inside the evaporator to provide heat to the outer surface of the evaporator. After receiving the heat, the frost on the outside of the evaporator melts. The water receiving tray is used to collect the water dripping when the frost on the outer surface of the evaporator melts. The water falling into the water receiving tray slides along the surface of the water receiving tray to the water inlet of the drainage channel and is discharged to the outside of the refrigerator through the drainage channel.

[0004] In actual use, there is often some large frost that falls from the evaporator and blocks the drainage channel of the water tray, which can easily cause the drainage channel to not completely melt the ice. Over time, the drainage channel will be blocked by ice, affecting the defrosting effect. In addition, since the drainage hole is connected to the outside world, it is easily affected by the outside air during the cooling stage of the evaporator, resulting in a decrease in cooling efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water receiving pan assembly for refrigeration equipment to solve the deficiencies in the prior art.

[0010] A plurality of grooves are formed on the protrusion, and each of the grooves is provided with the drainage hole.

[0011] Furthermore, the drainage channel also has a lateral drainage hole arranged on the protrusion and connecting the trough body and the water collection trough, and the lateral drainage hole is arranged on the side wall of the protrusion and close to the bottom of the water collection trough.

[0012] Furthermore, the lateral drainage hole is a conical hole and has a lateral water inlet arranged on the outer side wall of the protrusion and a lateral water outlet arranged on the inner side wall of the trough body, and the size of the lateral water inlet is larger than the lateral water outlet.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "setting", "connection", "fixation" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0032] An embodiment of the present invention discloses a water receiving tray assembly for refrigeration equipment. The water receiving tray assembly can be used in refrigerators, freezers, wine cabinets and other refrigeration equipment. The water receiving tray assembly is placed in the refrigerator and below the evaporator to carry the frost that falls after the evaporator is defrosted. In order to solve the problem of frost on the evaporator, a heating wire is provided on the evaporator in the prior art. During the defrosting process, the heating wire is used to heat the frost to remove the frost from the evaporator. However, if the frost that falls into the water receiving tray is large, it will accumulate in the water receiving tray. The accumulated large ice blocks are difficult to melt and easily cause the drainage channel to be blocked.

[0033] The water receiving pan assembly for refrigeration equipment disclosed in the present application is as follows Figure 1-5, comprising: a disk body 1 having a water collecting trough 10 and a drainage channel 2 connected to the water collecting trough 10; the drainage channel 2 connects the water collecting trough 10 with the outside, the water collecting trough 10 is used to carry the ice water after the evaporator defrosts, and the ice water after the evaporator defrosts is collected in the water collecting trough 10 and then discharged through the drainage channel 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, a protrusion 11 protruding upward is formed at the bottom of the disk body 1, and the drainage channel 2 includes a trough body 21 formed on the protrusion 11 and opened in the direction of the water collecting trough 10, and a drainage hole 22 arranged at the bottom of the trough body 21 and penetrating the disk body 11. The drainage hole 22 is arranged at the bottom of the trough body 21 and penetrates the bottom of the trough body 21 in the vertical direction, that is, the drainage hole 22 penetrates the disk body 11, and the drainage hole 22 connects the trough body 21 with the outside world, and the outside world here refers to the outside of the water collecting trough 10.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the drainage hole 22 is a conical hole and has a water inlet 221 arranged at the bottom of the trough body and a water outlet 222 arranged at the bottom of the disk body 1, and the size of the water inlet 221 is larger than the water outlet 222;

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, the size of the water inlet 221 is smaller than the size of the bottom of the tank body 21 ; the bottom of the tank body 21 is formed with a water accumulation platform 12 extending in a horizontal direction beside the water inlet 221 .

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 8 , an evaporator 100 is arranged above the disk body 1, and a heating element 200 is arranged between the evaporator 100 and the disk body 1. The heating element 200 is connected in series with a heating wire arranged beside the evaporator 100. The heating wire beside the evaporator 100 is used to heat the outer surface of the evaporator 100 to defrost the frost on the outer surface of the evaporator 100. Large pieces of frost falling from the outer surface of the evaporator 100 are received by the disk body 1 after falling, gathered in the water collection groove 10, and then discharged through the drainage channel 2. If there are large pieces of frost, it is easy to form ice blockage in the water collection groove 10. The heating element 200 arranged above the water collection groove 10 can heat the frost gathered in the water collection groove 10, accelerate the melting of the frost, and thus alleviate the ice blockage.

[0038] In the prior art, a drainage hole is generally directly set in the low-lying part of the disk body 1, and the frost water is directly discharged outward from the drainage hole. In this embodiment, a protruding platform 11 protruding upward is creatively formed at the bottom of the disk body 1, and the drainage channel 2 is set as a trough body 21 opening to the water collection tank 10 and a drainage hole 22 set at the bottom of the trough body 21 and connecting the trough body 21 with the outside. The drainage hole channel 2 is set on the side wall of the protruding platform 11. The advantage of such a setting is that the protruding platform 11 lifts the drainage channel 2, so that the drainage channel 2 is closer to the heating element 200, so as to better alleviate the ice blockage near the drainage hole 22.

[0039] Furthermore, since the setting of the drainage channel 2 will connect the outside world with the chamber where the evaporator 100 is located, it is easy for the outside air to enter the evaporator 100, thereby affecting the evaporation efficiency in the evaporator 100. In order to reduce the impact of the outside air on the evaporator 100, the drainage hole 22 in the present embodiment is set as a conical hole that penetrates the disk body 1. Specifically, the drainage hole 22 has a water inlet 221 arranged at the bottom of the trough body 21, that is, the water inlet 221 is arranged on the side close to the water collection trough 10, that is, on the side close to the chamber where the evaporator 100 is located, and the water outlet 222 is arranged at the bottom of the disk body 1, that is, on the side close to the outside world. Since the size of the water inlet 221 is larger than the water outlet 222, the fluid flows more smoothly from the water collection trough 10 to the outside world, but it causes inconvenience when flowing from the outside world to the water collection trough 10;

[0040] In the above structure, the drain hole 22 is set as a tapered hole, and the diameter of the tapered hole gradually decreases when facing the outside. Such a structure can conveniently realize the drainage of the drain hole 22, but it has a good blocking effect on the entry of outside air. When draining, it enters from the large hole and drains from the small hole, but when the outside air enters the drain hole 22, it needs to enter from the small hole but exit from the large hole, which is obviously not conducive to the entry of outside air, thereby avoiding the influence of outside air on the chamber where the evaporator is located.

[0041] Furthermore, since the size of the water inlet 221 is smaller than the size of the bottom of the trough body 21, a water accumulation platform 12 extending in a horizontal direction is formed at the bottom of the trough body 21 and is located next to the water inlet 221. The setting of the water accumulation platform 12 can store a certain amount of water on the water accumulation platform 12, so that after the drainage is completed and the evaporator is frozen, ice can be quickly formed on the drainage hole 22, thereby further avoiding the influence of outside air on the evaporator chamber, and the residual water accumulated on the water accumulation platform 12 can be easily and quickly formed on the drainage hole 22.

[0042] In addition, in the present embodiment, the drain hole 22 is configured as a conical hole, and an inclined hole wall is formed on the side wall of the drain hole 22. The hole wall is a slope, and the inclined hole wall has a larger area than the hole wall of the vertical enclosure 112. The larger area can also accumulate some water on the hole wall at the drain outlet. After the drainage is completed, this part of the accumulated water can quickly form ice near the drain hole 22 during the cooling process of the evaporator. The formation of the ice is actually a blockage of the drain hole 22, which can better prevent outside air from entering the compartment where the evaporator is located, thereby better improving the cooling efficiency of the evaporator.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the heating wire emits heat after being powered on. At this time, the evaporator 100 senses the heat of the heating wire, and the frost attached to the outer surface of the evaporator 100 begins to melt. The melted frost drops into the water collection groove 10 of the tray body 1 and is discharged to the outside of the refrigerator from the drainage channel 2. At the same time, some larger ice cubes become loosely connected to the evaporator due to the heat. Under the action of gravity, some of the whole ice cubes will fall off. Under the action of gravity, the ice cubes will fall into the water collection groove 10 and flow along the bottom of the water collection groove 10 to the drainage channel 2. At this time, since a protrusion 11 protruding upward is formed at the bottom of the disk body 1, the protrusion 11 lifts the drainage channel 2. At the same time, the protrusion 11 can support large pieces of ice, and play a certain blocking role in blocking the ice from clogging the drainage channel 2, resulting in large pieces of ice being unable to enter the drainage channel 2. At the same time, due to the close contact between the ice and the heating element 200, the ice will be exposed to a large amount of heat and quickly melt into water. The melted water can smoothly enter the groove body 21 from the drainage hole 22, and finally be discharged to the outside of the refrigerator through the groove body 21.

[0044] Further, the drainage hole 22 is arranged at the center of the bottom of the trough body 21, the cross section of the trough body 21 has a circular structure, and the water inlet 221 of the drainage hole 22 is arranged concentrically with the bottom of the trough body 21. The cross section of the trough body 21 also has a circular structure.

[0045] The above-mentioned structure is set so that the water accumulation platform 12 forms an annular structure located outside the drain hole 22, and has an outer ring and an inner ring, and the distance between the outer ring and the inner ring is not less than 1 / 2 of the radius of the water inlet 221. The distance between the outer ring and the inner ring restricts the area of ​​the water accumulation platform 12. The larger the area of ​​the water accumulation platform 12, the more residual water there is. In this embodiment, the distance between the outer ring and the inner ring is set to be not less than 1 / 2 of the radius of the water inlet 221. Such a setting can ensure that there is a sufficient amount of water when ice is formed on the drain hole 22, which is more conducive to the formation of ice on the drain hole 22.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of grooves 21 are formed on the protrusion 11, each of the grooves 21 is provided with the drainage holes 22, and the plurality of grooves 21 are evenly spaced and arranged on the protrusion 11. The plurality of grooves 21 can better realize the outflow of water.

[0047] The drainage channel 2 also has a lateral drainage hole 23 disposed on the protrusion 11 and connecting the trough body 21 and the water collection trough 10 . The lateral drainage hole 23 is disposed on the side wall of the protrusion 11 and close to the bottom of the water collection trough 10 .

[0048] Since the upward protrusion of the protrusion 11 forms a depression beside the protrusion 11 in the water collecting trough 10 on the plate body 1, the depression is prone to accumulate more water. In order to facilitate the outflow of water at these locations, the present embodiment provides a lateral drainage hole 23.

[0049] The lateral drainage hole 23 is a conical hole and has a lateral water inlet 231 arranged on the outer side wall of the protrusion and a lateral water outlet 232 arranged on the inner side wall of the trough body 21 . The size of the lateral water inlet 231 is larger than that of the lateral water outlet 232 .

[0050] The lateral drainage hole 23 is also configured as a tapered hole, which can effectively prevent the influence of external air on the chamber where the evaporator is located, thereby better improving the refrigeration effect.

[0051] The lateral drainage holes 23 include a first lateral drainage hole and a second lateral drainage hole provided on opposite side walls of the protrusion;

[0052] The bottom of the tray body 1 also has a first guide surface 13 for guiding the flow toward the first lateral drainage hole and a second guide surface 14 for guiding the flow toward the second lateral drainage hole.

[0053] The disk body 1 has a length direction and a width direction, and the first guide surface 13 and the second guide surface 14 are relatively arranged on both sides of the protrusion 11 along the length direction; the vertical height of the first guide surface 13 increases in the direction away from the protrusion 11; the vertical height of the second guide surface 14 increases in the direction away from the protrusion 11.

[0054] like Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the tray body 1 is in a conical structure as a whole, and the protrusion 11 is formed by protruding upward from the lowest part of the conical structure. Since the cross section of the evaporator 100 is roughly rectangular, the cross section of the tray body 1 has a rectangular structure that matches the evaporator 100. The tray body 1 has a length direction and a width direction, the length direction is the left-right direction, and the width direction is the front-back direction. The specific shape of the tray body 1 matches the shape of the evaporator. The cross section of the evaporator in the prior art is rectangular and extends in the left-right direction, so the tray body 1 is also extended in the left-right direction.

[0055] The conical structure of the tray body 1 is an asymmetric conical structure, that is, the lowest point of the cone is not at the center of the tray body 1, and accordingly, the boss 11 is also arranged away from the center of the tray body 1 in the length direction. In this embodiment, the lowest point of the cone is at a position slightly to the left in the left-right direction, so that two first guide surfaces 13 and second guide surfaces 14 with different slopes are formed at the bottom of the tray body 1. The first guide surface 13 and the second guide surface 14 are arranged oppositely on both sides of the boss 11 along the length direction, and the first guide surface 13 and the second guide surface 14 are used to guide water flow to the lateral drainage hole 23.

[0056] In order to achieve better drainage, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the drainage hole 22 includes a first lateral drainage hole and a second lateral drainage hole arranged on the opposite side walls of the enclosure 112; the first guide surface 13 is used to guide the flow toward the first lateral drainage hole, and the second guide surface 14 is used to guide the flow toward the second lateral drainage hole.

[0057] The slope of the first guide surface 13 is greater than the slope of the second guide surface 14. That is, the vertical height of the first guide surface 13 increases as it moves away from the protrusion 11; the vertical height of the second guide surface 14 increases as it moves away from the protrusion 11. The above structure makes the flow velocities on both sides inconsistent when the water flows converge to the drainage channel 2, which can avoid the collision of the water flows on both sides at the inlet position of the drainage channel 2, resulting in poor drainage.

[0058] Another embodiment of the present invention further discloses a refrigeration device, including a box body, on which is disposed an inner tank 300, an evaporator 100 disposed in the inner tank 300, a heating wire and the water receiving tray assembly, the water receiving tray assembly being disposed on the lower side of the evaporator 100, the heating wire being disposed on the side of the evaporator 100, the refrigeration device further comprising a heating element 200 disposed between the evaporator 100 and the water receiving tray assembly, the heating element 200 being a tubular heating element, and the heating element 200 and the heating wire being connected in series.

[0059] In order to better protect the heating element 200, a protective baffle 400 is further provided between the evaporator 100 and the heating element 200. The protective baffle 400 is used to protect the heating element 200, and can effectively prevent the large ice cubes falling from the evaporator 100 from damaging the heating element 200.

[0060] The above describes in detail the structure, features and effects of the present invention based on the embodiments shown in the drawings. The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of implementation shown in the drawings. Any changes made according to the concept of the present invention, or modifications to equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, which still do not exceed the spirit covered by the description and drawings, should be within the protection scope of the present invention.
