AI Technical Summary
In existing refrigeration equipment, moisture in the compressor compartment evaporates and condenses on the inner wall of the control box, forming water droplets that can damage the power board or control board. Furthermore, the water droplets can travel along the wires to distant locations, causing short circuits.
A control box with a sunken cable tray is installed inside the compressor compartment. The wires are routed through the sunken cable tray and drained on its bottom wall. Combined with the design of waterproof slots and drainage gaps, it prevents water droplets from dripping and causing short circuits.
This effectively prevents water droplets from condensing on the inner wall of the control box and flowing along the wires, avoiding damage to the power board and short circuits, and improving the reliability and safety of the equipment.

[0033] It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments in the present application can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0034] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meaning as generally understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0035] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the orientation words such as "up, down, top, bottom" are generally directed to the directions shown in the drawings, or are directed to the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions of the components themselves; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner, outer" refers to the inner and outer relative to the contour of the components themselves, but the above orientation words are not used to limit the present application.
[0036] In order to solve the problem that the control box installed in the compressor chamber of the refrigerator condenses water droplets on the inner wall during use, causing damage to the power board or control board installed in the control box, and the condensed water droplets can easily be transmitted to the far end along the wire passing through the control box, causing a short circuit. The present application provides a refrigeration equipment with a compressor chamber.
[0037] An embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration equipment, comprising a compressor chamber, wherein the compressor chamber is provided with a compressor 1 and a control box 2 connected to the side wall of the compressor chamber, the compressor 1 and the control box 2 are electrically connected through a wire, the control box 2 comprises a bottom plate 21 arranged along the inner side of the side wall of the compressor chamber and a mounting shell 22 covered on the bottom plate, a wire hole 221 communicating the inside and outside of the mounting shell and a sunken wire slot 222 arranged around the wire hole 221 are arranged on the side wall of the lower end of the mounting shell 22, and the sunken wire slot 222 is located on the outer side of the mounting shell 22 and a drain hole 2221 is arranged through the bottom wall thereof.
[0038] It can be understood that the control box 2 is usually internally provided with a circuit board, a power adapter and a voltage conversion device, and in general, an external power supply is introduced into the control box 2 through a lead, and then the power adapter in the control box 2 provides high-voltage power for the compressor 1, defrosting heating wire and other components. The compressor 1 and the control box 2 are electrically connected through a lead, which is actually connected to the power adapter in the control box.
[0039] Of course, the power adapter in the control box 2 can also be connected to the voltage conversion device in the control box 2 for voltage conversion, and then a lower-voltage power is provided for the weak current control system of the refrigerator. In the aforementioned low-voltage weak current control system, a circuit board can also be connected for instructive operation of components of the refrigerator.
[0040] According to the above arrangement, the lead connected between the compressor 1 and the control box 2 is routed through the lead hole 221 provided on the side wall of the lower end of the mounting shell 22 to communicate the inside and outside of the mounting shell 22. The lead is accommodated in the sunken wire slot 222 after it exits the control box 2. Therefore, the water condensed on the inner wall of the control box 2 will flow along the inner wall of the control box 2 and eventually flow out through the lead hole 221 provided on the side wall of the lower end of the mounting shell 22. It can be understood that the lead hole 221 can facilitate the passage of the lead connected between the compressor 1 and the control box 2, and also has the effect of draining water.
[0041] The part of the lead outside the control box is first accommodated in the sunken wire slot 222, and then routed outside the sunken wire slot 222. Since there is a height difference between the wall and the bottom of the sunken wire slot 222, the lead is gathered in the sunken wire slot 222 after it exits the mounting shell 22, and then is led out from the wall of the sunken wire slot 222. This arrangement can ensure that the water droplets on the lead drip onto the bottom wall of the sunken wire slot 222, rather than flowing down the lead to the distal end of the lead away from the control box 2, thereby causing a short circuit.
[0042] In order to drain the water droplets accumulated in the sunken wire slot 222, a drain hole 2221 is provided through the bottom wall of the sunken wire slot 222.
[0043] Further, the bottom plate 21 is provided with a mounting rib 211 along its periphery, and the mounting shell 22 is provided with a waterproof clamping groove 223 on the end face facing the bottom plate 21, and the mounting rib 211 is clamped in the waterproof clamping groove 223. By such clamping, the bottom plate 21 and the mounting shell 22 can be tightly clamped, and are convenient to disassemble.
[0044] As a preferred mode, the waterproof clamping groove 223 is provided with a drain gap 2232 through at least a section of the first side wall 2231 on the outer side of the mounting shell 22, such asFigures 8-9 As shown, the distance a between the inner wall of the water drainage gap 2232 and the inner bottom wall of the waterproof clamping groove 223 is less than the distance b between the end face of the second side wall 2233 of the waterproof clamping groove 223 located on the inner side of the mounting shell and the inner bottom wall.
[0045] Through such arrangement, when water in the evaporation tray in the compressor compartment accidentally splashes on the control box 2, the water drainage gap 2232 on the first side wall of the waterproof clamping groove 223 located on the outer side of the mounting shell 22 can effectively drain the water out of the waterproof clamping groove 223, and since the distance from the end face of the second side wall 2233 to the inner bottom wall of the waterproof clamping groove 223 is higher than the distance from the inner wall of the water drainage gap 2232 close to the inner bottom wall, the water can be further blocked in the waterproof clamping groove by the second side wall 2233, and according to the principle of the communicating vessel, it can be understood that the water in the waterproof clamping groove is preferentially drained out of the water drainage gap 2232.
[0046] Further, since the water drainage gap 2232 is provided through at least a section of the first side wall 2231 located at the lower end of the first side wall 2231, it can be ensured that the water in the waterproof clamping groove 223 can be completely drained out through the water drainage gap 2232.
[0047] As a preferred mode, the mounting shell 22 is provided in the shape of an open rectangular parallelepiped, which facilitates the installation and arrangement of the waterproof clamping groove 223, and the bottom plate 21 is provided in a shape matching the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped mounting shell 22, and the end face of the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped mounting shell 22 facing the bottom plate 21 is provided with a straight flange 224 facing the outer side of the mounting shell 22, and it can be understood that the straight flange 224 is provided circumferentially along the four side walls of the rectangular parallelepiped-shaped mounting shell 22.
[0048] The first side wall 2231 is provided on the side of the straight flange 224 away from the bottom wall of the mounting shell 22, and the second side wall 2233 is provided on the end face of the mounting shell 22 facing the bottom plate 21 away from the bottom wall of the mounting shell 22, and the upper end face of the mounting shell 22 and the part of the straight flange 224 between the first side wall 2231 and the second side wall 2233 form the inner bottom wall of the waterproof clamping groove 223.
[0049] Further, the water drainage gap 2232 is provided on the second side wall 2233 of the waterproof clamping groove 223 located on the upper and lower side walls of the mounting shell 22, and in particular, the water drainage gap 2232 provided on the second side wall 2233 of the lower side wall can ensure that the water in the waterproof clamping groove 223 is completely drained.
[0050] Further, the side wall of the compressor compartment comprises left and right side wall bodies 3 and a flange 31 arranged at one end of the side wall body close to the rear side of the refrigeration equipment, the flange 31 is arranged away from the inside of the compressor compartment, and the mounting shell 22 is provided with a fixing portion which can be fixedly connected to the flange 31. It can be understood that the fixing portion plays a main connecting role when the control box 2 is connected to the side wall of the compressor compartment.
[0051] Specifically, the fixing portion comprises a fixing branch plate 225 arranged on the rear side wall of the mounting shell 22 in the vertical direction and a connecting branch plate 226 connected to the fixing branch plate 225 and arranged towards the flange 31, and the connecting branch plate 226 is fixedly connected to the flange 31.
[0052] Further, a plurality of accommodating grooves 22311 are arranged on the first side wall 2231 of the upper and lower side walls of the cuboid-shaped mounting shell 22 respectively, a plurality of clamping hooks 2111 are arranged on the mounting rib 211 and matched with the accommodating grooves, and the clamping hooks 2111 are clamped in the accommodating grooves 22311, so that the cuboid-shaped mounting shell 22 is clamped and matched with the bottom plate 21.
[0053] As a preferred mode, the bottom plate 21 is provided with a clamping jaw 212 on the side away from the mounting shell, and the side wall of the compressor compartment is provided with a clamping groove matched with the clamping jaw 212, so that when the control box 2 is installed on the inner side of the side wall of the compressor compartment, the clamping jaw 212 can be clamped into the corresponding clamping groove first, thereby playing a role of pre-positioning and facilitating installation.
[0054] Further, the side away from the mounting of the mounting shell is provided with a cooling fin 4, which can effectively diffuse the temperature inside the control box to the outside, thereby avoiding damage to the electrical elements inside the control box caused by high temperature.
[0055] In summary, the embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:
[0056] Through the wiring hole 221 arranged on the side wall of the lower end of the mounting shell 22, the wiring and drainage between the inside and outside of the mounting shell 22 are realized, thereby solving the problem of short circuit caused by condensation of water vapor in the control box; through the sunken wire slot 222, the water droplets on the wire are dropped to the bottom wall of the sunken wire slot 222, and will not flow along the wire, thereby solving the problem of short circuit caused by the water droplets reaching the far end of the wire away from the control box 2.
