Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and in particular to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] A freezer is a household or commercial appliance used to refrigerate or freeze food and items. It usually uses refrigeration technology to keep the temperature at a lower level to keep the food fresh and extend its shelf life.

[0003] In the prior art, a refrigerator includes a box body, an evaporator is arranged inside the box body, and an air duct is arranged inside the box body. An air vent connected to the air duct is opened on the inner wall of the box body, so that the cold air of the evaporator enters the box body through the air duct and the air vent. A drain pipe is arranged below the evaporator to discharge condensed water. A water receiving pan is arranged below the drain pipe, and the water receiving pan is used to collect condensed water and evaporate it.

[0004] However, in the prior art, because the drain pipe needs to be designed just above the water receiving pan, when the water in the water receiving pan evaporates, water vapor will enter the area where the evaporator is located through the drain pipe, increasing the amount of frost, reducing the refrigeration efficiency, and causing high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model solves one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0006] To this end, the present application aims to provide a refrigerator, during the use of which, due to the refrigeration of the evaporator, condensed water will be generated in the installation box, and the condensed water will be discharged into the water receiving tray through the drain pipe. The condensed water evaporates in the water receiving tray. Because there is a block, and the block is located below the end of the drain pipe close to the water receiving tray, the possibility of the water vapor evaporated in the water receiving tray entering the installation box through the drain pipe is reduced. Therefore, the low efficiency and high energy consumption caused by the frost of water vapor on the evaporator are avoided.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the utility model provides a refrigerator, comprising:

[0008] A box body, wherein the top of the box body is open;

[0009] An installation box, the installation box is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the box body;

[0010] A compressor, wherein the compressor is arranged in the box;

[0011] an evaporator, the evaporator being arranged inside the installation box and connected to the compressor;

[0012] A water receiving tray, the water receiving tray is arranged on the box body;

[0013] A drainage pipe, one end of which is connected to and communicates with the interior of the installation box; the other end of the drainage pipe extends to the top of the water receiving tray;

[0014] A stopper, the stopper is arranged inside the water receiving tray, and the stopper is located below the drain pipe;

[0015] The distance between the stopper and the drain pipe is A, wherein A≥5mm, A≥6mm, or A≥7mm is satisfied;

[0016] And satisfy, A≤23mm, or, A≤24mm, or, A≤25mm.

[0017] In the technical solution, during use, condensed water will be generated in the installation box due to the cooling of the evaporator, and the condensed water will be discharged into the water receiving pan through the drain pipe. The condensed water evaporates in the water receiving pan. Because there is a block, and the block is located below the end of the drain pipe close to the water receiving pan, the possibility of water vapor evaporated in the water receiving pan entering the installation box through the drain pipe is reduced. Therefore, the low efficiency and high energy consumption caused by frost on the evaporator are avoided. And through this size restriction, while ensuring easy assembly, the possibility of water vapor entering the drain pipe is reduced to the greatest extent.

[0018] In addition, the present application also provides a refrigerator, which includes:

[0019] A box body, wherein the top of the box body is open;

[0020] An installation box, the installation box is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the box body;

[0021] A compressor, wherein the compressor is arranged in the box;

[0022] an evaporator, the evaporator being arranged inside the installation box and connected to the compressor;

[0023] A water receiving tray, the water receiving tray is arranged on the box body;

[0024] A drainage pipe, one end of which is connected to and communicates with the interior of the installation box; the other end of the drainage pipe extends to the top of the water receiving tray;

[0025] A stopper, the stopper is arranged inside the water receiving tray, and the stopper is located below the drain pipe;

[0026] The distance between the block and the drain pipe is A, wherein 5≤A≤25mm is satisfied.

[0027] In the technical solution, during use, condensed water will be generated in the installation box due to the cooling of the evaporator, and the condensed water will be discharged into the water receiving pan through the drain pipe. The condensed water evaporates in the water receiving pan. Because there is a block, and the block is located below the end of the drain pipe close to the water receiving pan, the possibility of water vapor evaporated in the water receiving pan entering the installation box through the drain pipe is reduced. Therefore, the low efficiency and high energy consumption caused by frost on the evaporator are avoided. And through this size restriction, while ensuring easy assembly, the possibility of water vapor entering the drain pipe is reduced to the greatest extent.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance from the upper surface of the block to one end of the drain pipe close to the water receiving tray is A.

[0029] In the technical solution, by determining this specific measurement position, it is ensured that the height of the block can be accurately controlled in actual operation, thereby more accurately preventing water vapor from entering the drain pipe.

[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the drain pipe close to the water receiving tray is located at the center of the upper surface of the stopper.

[0031] In the technical solution, this design is used to prevent the drain pipe from being too close to one side of the block, causing water vapor on that side to enter the drain pipe.

[0032] In some embodiments of the present application, the direction from the top of the box body toward the bottom of the box body is defined as a reference direction, the reference direction is parallel to the height direction of the box body, and the pipe opening of the drain pipe close to one end of the water receiving tray is projected along the reference direction, and the projection is entirely located on the upper surface of the block.

[0033] In the technical solution, by defining the reference direction and the projection position, it is ensured that the pipe opening of the drain pipe close to the water receiving tray is completely located above the upper surface of the block. This design further enhances the effect of the block in blocking water vapor.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the stopper is detachably arranged on the inner bottom wall of the water receiving tray.

[0035] In the technical solution, the detachable design of the stopper allows the user to easily remove the stopper for thorough cleaning or replacement during cleaning or maintenance. This design greatly improves the usability and maintainability of the refrigerator and provides users with a more convenient use experience.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the stopper is formed by the bottom wall of the water receiving tray protruding toward the drain pipe.

[0037] In the technical solution, the design of the block protruding from the bottom wall of the water tray not only simplifies the structure of the refrigerator and reduces the manufacturing cost, but also maintains the function of the block to block water vapor. This design not only ensures functionality, but also takes into account economy and practicality.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, an edge of the water receiving tray is higher than an end of the drain pipe close to the water receiving tray.

[0039] In the technical solution, the edge of the water receiving tray is designed to be higher than the drain pipe. When water drops flowing out of the drain pipe fall onto the block, small water droplets formed by the collision of the water droplets with the block are prevented from splashing out of the water receiving tray, thereby ensuring that the condensed water is completely collected by the water receiving tray.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the compressor is connected to a refrigerant pipe, and the compressor inputs the refrigerant into the evaporator through the refrigerant pipe; the refrigerant pipe is partially located in the water receiving tray.

[0041] In the technical solution, the refrigerant flowing out through the refrigerant pipe is a high-temperature refrigerant with a relatively high temperature. Therefore, the refrigerant pipe is located in the water receiving tray. The condensed water in the water receiving tray is heated by the refrigerant pipe to increase the evaporation rate and prevent the condensed water in the water receiving tray from being filled and overflowing.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the box body is provided with a compressor cabin, and the compressor is arranged in the compressor cabin; the water receiving tray is arranged in the compressor cabin, and the drain pipe passes through the compressor cabin.

[0043] In the technical solution, this layout makes the internal structure of the refrigerator compact, reduces the occupied space, and is also convenient for users to maintain and service. In addition, this design is also conducive to reducing noise and vibration and improving the operating stability of the refrigerator.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the drain pipe is connected to and communicated with the bottom of the installation box at one end close to the installation box; the inner bottom wall of the installation box is inclined toward the end of the drain pipe connected thereto.

[0045] In the technical solution, the inner bottom wall of the installation box is tilted toward the end of the drain pipe connected to it, so that the condensed water generated by the evaporator can flow into the drain pipe more smoothly. This design improves drainage efficiency and reduces the problem of water accumulation caused by poor drainage.

[0046] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, and in part will become apparent from the following description, or will be learned through the practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0064] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0065] Please refer to all the drawings. In an illustrative embodiment of the refrigerator of the present invention, the refrigerator comprises: a box body 100, and the top of the box body 100 is open.

[0066] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include an installation box 200 , which is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 100 .

[0067] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a compressor 300 , and the compressor 300 is disposed in the cabinet 100 .

[0068] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include an evaporator 400 , which is disposed inside the installation box 200 and connected to the compressor 300 .

[0069] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a water receiving tray 500 , and the water receiving tray 500 is disposed on the housing 100 .

[0070] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a drain pipe 600 , one end of which is connected to and communicates with the interior of the installation box 200 .

[0071] In some embodiments, one end of the drain pipe 600 away from the installation box 200 extends to the top of the water receiving tray 500;

[0072] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a stopper 700 , which is disposed inside the water receiving tray 500 , and the stopper 700 is located below the drain pipe 600 .

[0073] In some embodiments, the distance between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is A, wherein A≥5 mm is satisfied.

[0074] In some embodiments, A≥6 mm is satisfied.

[0075] In some embodiments, A≥7 mm is satisfied.

[0076] In some embodiments, A≤23 mm is satisfied.

[0077] In some embodiments, A≤24 mm is satisfied.

[0078] In some embodiments, A≤25 mm is satisfied.

[0079] Through the above scheme, during use, condensed water will be generated in the installation box 200 due to the refrigeration of the evaporator 400, and the condensed water will be discharged into the water receiving pan 500 through the drain pipe 600. The condensed water evaporates in the water receiving pan 500. Because there is a block 700, and the block 700 is located below the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving pan 500, the possibility of the water vapor evaporated in the water receiving pan 500 entering the installation box 200 through the drain pipe 600 is reduced. Therefore, the low efficiency and high energy consumption caused by the frost of water vapor on the evaporator 400 are avoided. And through this size restriction, while ensuring the convenience of assembly, the possibility of water vapor entering the drain pipe 600 is reduced to the greatest extent.

[0080] In some embodiments, while A≥5mm is satisfied, A≤23mm is satisfied.

[0081] In some embodiments, while A≥5mm is satisfied, A≤24mm is satisfied.

[0082] In some embodiments, while A≥5mm is satisfied, A≤25mm is satisfied.

[0083] When A is close to or equal to 5 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the upper surface of the stopper 700 is small, which can prevent the water vapor in the water receiving tray 500 from entering the drain pipe 600 as much as possible.

[0084] When A is less than 5 mm, the drain pipe 600 may be blocked, resulting in poor drainage.

[0085] Specifically, during the drainage process, some smaller impurities may be discharged along with the drain pipe 600 and accumulated on the block 700. If A is less than 5 mm, there is a high probability that the accumulated impurities will block the drain pipe 600.

[0086] In some embodiments, while A≥6mm is satisfied, A≤23mm is satisfied.

[0087] In some embodiments, while A≥6mm is satisfied, A≤24mm is satisfied.

[0088] In some embodiments, while A≥6mm is satisfied, A≤25mm is satisfied.

[0089] When A is close to or equal to 6 mm, while preventing the water vapor in the water receiving tray 500 from entering the drain pipe 600, compared with A being 5 mm, the stopper 700 can accommodate more impurities, further preventing the impurities from clogging the drain pipe 600.

[0090] In some embodiments, while A≥7 mm is satisfied, A≤23 mm is satisfied.

[0091] In some embodiments, while A≥7 mm is satisfied, A≤24 mm is satisfied.

[0092] In some embodiments, while A≥7 mm is satisfied, A≤25 mm is satisfied.

[0093] When A is close to or equal to 7 mm, while preventing the water vapor in the water receiving tray 500 from entering the drain pipe 600, compared with A being 6 mm, the stopper 700 can accommodate more impurities, which can further prevent the impurities from clogging the drain pipe 600.

[0094] In addition, in the above description, when A is close to or equal to 25 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the upper surface of the block 700 is relatively large. This can prevent the accumulation of impurities on the block 700 from blocking the drain pipe 600. In addition, because the block 700 is relatively far from the drain pipe 600, during the production process, when installing the drain pipe 600 and the water receiving tray 500, the possibility of interference between the drain pipe 600 and the block 700 is reduced, which facilitates installation.

[0095] If A is greater than 25 mm, the effect of blocking water vapor from entering the drain pipe 600 by the block 700 cannot be achieved, or the achieved effect is poor.

[0096] When A is close to or equal to 24 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the upper surface of the block 700 is relatively large. Compared with 25 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the block 700 is closer, which reduces the possibility of the drain pipe 600 being blocked by the accumulation of impurities on the block 700 and reduces the possibility of interference between the drain pipe 600 and the block 700 to a certain extent.

[0097] When A is close to or equal to 23 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the upper surface of the block 700 is relatively large. Compared with 24 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the block 700 is closer, which further reduces the possibility of impurities accumulating on the block 700 and blocking the drain pipe 600, and also reduces the possibility of interference between the drain pipe 600 and the block 700 to a certain extent.

[0098] In summary, when the distance A between the blocking block 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 5 mm, it is suitable for refrigerators that generate more condensed water.

[0099] When the distance A between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 5 mm, it is suitable for a refrigerator with smaller impurities.

[0100] When the distance A between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 25 mm, it is suitable for refrigerators with less condensed water generation.

[0101] When the distance A between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 25 mm, it is suitable for refrigerators that generate more impurities.

[0102] And the distance between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 can be freely selected according to the height of the water receiving tray 500 .

[0103] Furthermore, the distance A is the distance from the upper surface of the stopper 700 to the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500. That is, the distance from the upper surface of the stopper 700 to the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 is A. By determining this specific measurement position, it is ensured that the height of the stopper 700 can be accurately controlled in actual operation, thereby more accurately preventing water vapor from entering the drain pipe 600.

[0104] Furthermore, the distance A is the distance from the upper surface of the stopper 700 to the drain pipe 600 near the water receiving tray 500 along the height direction of the box 100. Because water drips under the action of gravity, and when the refrigerator is in daily use, the height direction of the box 100 is parallel to the gravity direction, so this design is more in line with physical conditions.

[0105] Please refer to all the drawings. In addition, the present application further provides a refrigerator, which includes: a box body 100, and the top of the box body 100 is open.

[0106] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include an installation box 200 , which is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the cabinet 100 .

[0107] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a compressor 300 , and the compressor 300 is disposed in the cabinet 100 .

[0108] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include an evaporator 400 , which is disposed inside the installation box 200 and connected to the compressor 300 .

[0109] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a water receiving tray 500 , and the water receiving tray 500 is disposed on the housing 100 .

[0110] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a drain pipe 600 , one end of which is connected to and communicates with the interior of the installation box 200 .

[0111] In some embodiments, one end of the drain pipe 600 away from the installation box 200 extends to the top of the water receiving tray 500 .

[0112] In some embodiments, the refrigerator may further include a stopper 700 , which is disposed inside the water receiving tray 500 , and the stopper 700 is located below the drain pipe 600 .

[0113] Through the above scheme, during use, condensed water will be generated in the installation box 200 due to the refrigeration of the evaporator 400, and the condensed water will be discharged into the water receiving pan 500 through the drain pipe 600. The condensed water evaporates in the water receiving pan 500. Because there is a block 700, and the block 700 is located below the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving pan 500, the possibility of the water vapor evaporated in the water receiving pan 500 entering the installation box 200 through the drain pipe 600 is reduced. Therefore, the low efficiency and high energy consumption caused by the frost of water vapor on the evaporator 400 are avoided. And through this size restriction, while ensuring the convenience of assembly, the possibility of water vapor entering the drain pipe 600 is reduced to the greatest extent.

[0114] In some embodiments, the distance between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is A, and satisfies 5≤A≤25 mm.

[0115] When A is close to or equal to 5 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the upper surface of the stopper 700 is small, which can prevent the water vapor in the water receiving tray 500 from entering the drain pipe 600 as much as possible.

[0116] When A is less than 5 mm, the drain pipe 600 may be blocked, resulting in poor drainage.

[0117] When A is close to or equal to 25 mm, the distance between the drain pipe 600 and the upper surface of the block 700 is relatively large. This can prevent the accumulation of impurities on the block 700 from blocking the drain pipe 600. In addition, because the block 700 is relatively far from the drain pipe 600, during the production process, when installing the drain pipe 600 and the water receiving tray 500, the possibility of interference between the drain pipe 600 and the block 700 is reduced, which facilitates installation.

[0118] If A is greater than 25 mm, the effect of blocking water vapor from entering the drain pipe 600 by the block 700 cannot be achieved, or the achieved effect is poor.

[0119] In summary, when the distance A between the blocking block 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 5 mm, it is suitable for refrigerators that generate more condensed water.

[0120] When the distance A between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 5 mm, it is suitable for a refrigerator with smaller impurities.

[0121] When the distance A between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 25 mm, it is suitable for refrigerators with less condensed water generation.

[0122] When the distance A between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 is close to 25 mm, it is suitable for refrigerators that generate more impurities.

[0123] And the distance between the stopper 700 and the drain pipe 600 can be freely selected according to the height of the water receiving tray 500 .

[0124] Furthermore, the distance A is the distance from the upper surface of the stopper 700 to the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500. That is, the distance from the upper surface of the stopper 700 to the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 is A. By determining this specific measurement position, it is ensured that the height of the stopper 700 can be accurately controlled in actual operation, thereby more accurately preventing water vapor from entering the drain pipe 600.

[0125] Furthermore, the distance A is the distance from the upper surface of the stopper 700 to the drain pipe 600 near the water receiving tray 500 along the height direction of the box 100. Because water drips under the action of gravity, and when the refrigerator is in daily use, the height direction of the box 100 is parallel to the gravity direction, so this design is more in line with physical conditions.

[0126] In some embodiments, one end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 is located at the center of the upper surface of the stopper 700. Through this design, it is prevented that the drain pipe 600 is close to one side of the stopper 700, causing the water vapor on the side to enter the drain pipe 600.

[0127] In some embodiments, the stopper 700 may be rectangular.

[0128] In some embodiments, the stopper 700 may be cylindrical. When the stopper 700 is cylindrical, the axis of the stopper 700 may be perpendicular to the inner bottom wall of the water receiving tray 500 .

[0129] A line extending from the origin of the pipe opening of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 along the height direction of the housing 100 is defined as a water drop line.

[0130] In some embodiments, when the stopper 700 is rectangular, the intersection of two diagonal lines on the upper surface of the stopper 700 is located on the water drop line.

[0131] In some embodiments, when the stopper 700 is rectangular, the midpoint of the diagonal line of the upper surface of the stopper 700 is located on the water drop line.

[0132] In some embodiments, when the stopper 700 is cylindrical, the axis of the stopper 700 coincides with the water drop line.

[0133] In some embodiments, the direction from the top of the box 100 toward the bottom of the box 100 is defined as the reference direction, the reference direction is parallel to the height direction of the box 100, and the pipe opening of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 is projected along the reference direction, and the projection is completely located on the upper surface of the stopper 700. By defining the reference direction and the projection position, it is ensured that the pipe opening of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 is completely located above the upper surface of the stopper 700. This design further enhances the effect of the stopper 700 in blocking water vapor.

[0134] In some embodiments, the stopper 700 is detachably disposed on the inner bottom wall of the water receiving tray 500. The detachable design of the stopper 700 allows the user to easily remove the stopper 700 for thorough cleaning or replacement during cleaning or maintenance. This design greatly improves the usability and maintainability of the refrigerator, providing users with a more convenient use experience.

[0135] In some embodiments, the blocking block 700 and the water receiving tray 500 may be connected by bonding.

[0136] In some embodiments, the connection between the stopper 700 and the water receiving tray 500 may be a threaded connection, and the threaded connection includes but is not limited to screws and bolts.

[0137] In some embodiments, when a threaded connector is used to connect the stopper 700 and the water receiving tray 500 , the threaded connector may penetrate the stopper 700 and then be threadedly connected to the water receiving tray 500 .

[0138] In some embodiments, when a threaded connector is used to connect the stopper 700 to the water tray 500, the threaded connector can penetrate the water tray 500 and then be threadedly connected to the stopper 700. It is worth noting that when the threaded connector penetrates the water tray 500, a sealing structure is provided to prevent condensed water from leaking.

[0139] In some embodiments, the stopper 700 is integrally formed with the water receiving tray 500 .

[0140] In some embodiments, the stopper 700 is formed by the bottom wall of the water receiving tray 500 protruding toward the direction of the drain pipe 600. The design of the stopper 700 protruding from the bottom wall of the water receiving tray 500 not only simplifies the structure of the refrigerator and reduces the manufacturing cost, but also maintains the function of the stopper 700 to block water vapor. This design not only ensures functionality, but also takes into account economy and practicality.

[0141] In some embodiments, one end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water receiving tray 500 is located inside the water receiving tray 500 to prevent water leakage.

[0142] In some embodiments, the edge of the water tray 500 is higher than the end of the drain pipe 600 close to the water tray 500. The design of the edge of the water tray 500 being higher than the drain pipe 600 prevents small water droplets from splashing out of the water tray 500 due to the collision between the water droplets and the stopper 700 when the water drops from the drain pipe 600 fall onto the stopper 700, thereby ensuring that the condensed water is completely collected by the water tray 500.

[0143] In some embodiments, the compressor 300 is connected to a refrigerant pipe 301, and the compressor 300 inputs the refrigerant into the evaporator 400 through the refrigerant pipe 301; the refrigerant pipe 301 is partially located in the water receiving pan 500. The refrigerant flowing out through the refrigerant pipe 301 is a high-temperature refrigerant, and its temperature is relatively high, so the refrigerant pipe 301 is located in the water receiving pan 500, and the condensed water in the water receiving pan 500 is heated by the refrigerant pipe 301, so as to increase the evaporation speed and prevent the condensed water in the water receiving pan 500 from being filled and overflowing.

[0144] In some embodiments, the box 100 is further provided with a condenser, and the refrigerant pipe 301 of the compressor 300 is first connected to the condenser, and the condenser is then connected to the evaporator 400, and the evaporator 400 is connected to the compressor 300. The refrigerant first enters the condenser through the refrigerant pipe 301 to release heat and cool down, and then enters the evaporator 400 to absorb heat. After cooling the air inside the box 100, the refrigerant flows back to the compressor 300 to complete the cycle.

[0145] In some embodiments, the box 100 is provided with a compressor cabin, the compressor 300 is arranged in the compressor cabin; the water receiving tray 500 is arranged in the compressor cabin, and the drain pipe 600 passes through the compressor cabin. This layout makes the internal structure of the refrigerator compact, reduces the occupied space, and is also convenient for users to maintain and service. In addition, this design is also conducive to reducing noise and vibration, and improving the operating stability of the refrigerator.

[0146] In some embodiments, one end of the drain pipe 600 close to the installation box 200 is connected to and communicated with the bottom of the installation box 200; the inner bottom wall of the installation box 200 is inclined toward the end of the drain pipe 600 connected thereto. The design of the inner bottom wall of the installation box 200 being inclined toward the end of the drain pipe 600 connected thereto allows the condensed water generated by the evaporator 400 to flow more smoothly into the drain pipe 600. This design improves drainage efficiency and reduces the problem of water accumulation caused by poor drainage.

[0147] In some embodiments, the box body 100 includes an outer shell 101 and an inner liner 102 , and the inner liner 102 is disposed in the outer shell 101 .
