[0002] During the operation of refrigeration equipment, condensed water will be generated in the evaporator and condenser. The traditional method of discharging condensed water is usually to lead the condensed water to the outside through a drain pipe. This method has many problems: on the one hand, the installation of the drain pipe is relatively complicated, and it is necessary to perform operations such as perforating the equipment and walls, which not only increases the installation cost and difficulty, but may also damage the integrity of the building structure; on the other hand, the drain pipe is prone to clogging and leakage during use, requiring regular maintenance, and may also freeze and crack in winter, affecting the normal operation and safety of the equipment. Therefore, the development of an efficient and stable condensed water discharge method that does not require additional drain pipes has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0006] Furthermore, a sensor mounting seat is provided outside the water receiving area 2 near the side of the water receiving area 3, and a water level switch sensor is installed in the sensor mounting seat. The water level switch sensor detects the water level in the water receiving area 2.

[0007] Furthermore, the condensate diversion device also includes a controller, which is connected to a water level switch sensor and a water pumping motor.

[0020] The evaporator 6 is installed in the water receiving area 1 2 of the water receiving pan, and the condenser is installed in the water receiving area 3 3 of the water receiving pan. The water receiving pan is an integrated U-shaped water receiving pan. The water receiving area 1 2 and the water receiving area 3 4 are connected to the water receiving area 2 3. The water receiving area 1 2 is higher than the water receiving area 2 3, and the water receiving area 2 3 is higher than the water receiving area 3 4.

[0021] A water level switch sensor 10 is installed at the corner where the water receiving area 2 3 and the water receiving area 3 4 are connected through a sensor mounting seat 102. The water level switch sensor 10 detects the water level in the water receiving area 2; A water pumping motor is installed on the outside side of the water receiving area 3 through a motor mounting base. The output end of the water pumping motor drives the exhaust flywheel to rotate. The exhaust flywheel is located between the condenser group E fins and group F fins, and blows towards the group F fins. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas from the compressor passes through the group E fins. When the equipment is in cooling mode, the condensed water generated by the evaporator falls along the fins into the water receiving area 1 of the water receiving tray. Then, using the height difference of the water receiving tray, the condensed water flows from the water receiving area 1 to the water receiving area 2, and then into the lowest water receiving area 3.

[0029] Specifically, the evaporator 6 is installed in the water receiving area 1 2 of the water receiving pan 1, and the condenser is installed in the water receiving area 3 4 of the water receiving pan 1; a water level switch sensor 10 is installed at the corner where the water receiving area 2 3 and the water receiving area 3 4 are connected through a sensor mounting seat 102, and a water pumping motor 7 is installed on the outer side of the water receiving area 3 4 through a motor mounting seat 103; the output end of the water pumping motor 7 drives the exhaust flywheel 8 to rotate; the exhaust flywheel 8 is located between the fins 9 of the condenser group E and the fins 5 of the F group, and blows toward the fins 5 of the F group; the fins 9 of the E group pass through the high-temperature and high-pressure gas from the compressor.

[0030] When the equipment is in cooling mode, the condensed water generated by the evaporator 6 falls into the water receiving area 1 2 of the water receiving tray along the fins, and then uses the height difference of the water receiving tray to allow the condensed water to flow from the water receiving area 1 2 into the water receiving area 2 3, and then into the lowest water receiving area 3 4; when the water level switch sensor 10 detects that the water level in the water receiving area 2 3 exceeds the preset value, the water level switch sensor 10 transmits a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the water pumping motor 7 to work, driving the exhaust flywheel 8 to work and splash the condensed water flowing into the water receiving area 3 4 to form water splashes, and the water splashes fall on the E group fins 9, and the E group fins 9 quickly evaporate the condensed water into water vapor, and bring the water vapor out to the outside through the exhaust equipment.

Simplified drainage system: No additional drainage pipes are required, which avoids a series of problems caused by drainage pipe installation, such as perforation and damage to building structure, high installation cost, and complex subsequent maintenance.

[0032] 2. Efficient use of condensed water: By directing the condensed water to the high-temperature condenser fin group for evaporation, the condensed water is treated on-site, reducing water waste and the risk of improper condensed water discharge during equipment operation.

[0033] 3. Stable and reliable operation: The linkage control mechanism of the water level switch sensor and the water pumping motor ensures that the condensed water can be processed in a timely and effective manner, avoids excessive water accumulation in the water receiving pan, and improves the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.

The water receiving area 1 2 is higher than the water receiving area 2 3, and the water receiving area 2 3 is higher than the water receiving area 3 4.

[0035] (s2) A water level switch sensor 10 is installed at the corner where the second water receiving area 3 and the third water receiving area 4 are connected via a sensor mounting seat 102 . The water level switch sensor 10 detects the water level in the second water receiving area 3 .

The controller controls the water pumping motor 7 to work, driving the exhaust flywheel 8 to work and splash the condensed water flowing into the water receiving area 3 4 to form water splashes. The water splashes fall on the E group fins 9, and the E group fins 9 quickly evaporate the condensed water into water vapor, and bring the water vapor out to the outside through the exhaust equipment.
