Description

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present application relates to a centrifugal fan assembly 2, the centrifugal fan assembly 2 and the evaporator 4 are both in the accommodating cavity, the centrifugal fan assembly 2 is installed on the upper part of the accommodating cavity, the centrifugal fan assembly includes a centrifugal fan base 5, a centrifugal fan body 6 and a centrifugal fan cover 7, the centrifugal fan cover is provided with an air inlet 71, the centrifugal fan base 5 is provided with an air outlet 51, the centrifugal fan cover 7 and the centrifugal fan base 5 are close to and form a ventilation duct, the centrifugal fan body 6 is between the centrifugal fan cover 7 and the centrifugal fan base, the The air inlet end of the centrifugal fan body 6 is connected to the air inlet 71, and the air outlet end of the centrifugal fan body 6 is connected to the air outlet 51. The air inlet 71 and the air outlet 51 are at an angle of 90 degrees. The centrifugal fan cover and the centrifugal fan base are close to and form a ventilation duct. The centrifugal fan body is located in the ventilation duct, and the air inlet and the air outlet are at an angle of 90 degrees. The centrifugal fan body adopts the spiral Archimedean vortex principle to suck in the low-pressure hot air mass in the upper space, and after compression and acceleration, the air mass is radially thrown onto the guide plate of the centrifugal fan cover, and then flows to the evaporator. Traditional evaporation fans are generally bearing fans and double-ball fans with an air inlet and outlet angle of 180 degrees. The fan noise is relatively high and is limited by the installation space. The air outlet space is generally small. When the air is discharged, it first blows to the top and back, and then rebounds to flow downward along the back. The change in wind direction increases the wind resistance and wind noise, which in turn increases the dB(A) of the entire machine. In this application, a centrifugal fan is used. The centrifugal fan has a 90-degree wind turn, which reduces the overall wind resistance and noise, and the economic cost is also lower than these evaporation fans.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the centrifugal fan base 5 is fixed on the evaporator 4, one side of the evaporator is below the air outlet 51, a wind shield 3 is provided below the centrifugal fan base, and a noise reduction component 8 is provided inside the centrifugal fan base 5.

The angle between the support plate 32 and the front panel 31 is 90-120 degrees. The inclined windshield can not only block the cold air flow in the cabinet, but also automatically guide the hot air flow with a slightly higher temperature to the top at a certain angle, forming a benign cooling cycle. Moreover, after the position of the centrifugal fan base is tilted and adjusted, the air outlet can flow to the evaporator more smoothly, reducing the reaction of the air flow impacting the back of the cabinet, and also reducing noise;

[0029] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in the present application, a thermostat 9 is provided on the front panel 31, and the thermostat 9 is electrically connected to the centrifugal fan body 6 and the evaporator 4.

Three fixing blocks 61 are provided, and the fixing blocks 61 are distributed in a circular array on the outer surface of the centrifugal fan body 6. The three fixing blocks 61 are spaced 120 degrees apart in sequence to fix the position of the centrifuge body.
