Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator defrosting, in particular to a defrosting system based on a commercial low-temperature air-cooled refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] The evaporator is used in the refrigeration system. The low-temperature condensed liquid passes through the evaporator to exchange heat with the outside air, vaporizes and absorbs heat to achieve the refrigeration effect. However, when the freezer refrigeration system is operating normally, the temperature of the evaporator surface is much lower than the dew point temperature of the air. The moisture in the air will be analyzed and condensed on the pipe wall. If the pipe wall temperature is below zero degrees, the dew will condense into frost, which will affect the working efficiency of the evaporator.

[0003] There are many ways to defrost, such as natural defrost, electric defrost, etc. However, for the defrost system used in a refrigerator, using natural defrost will cause the refrigerator to be unable to work for a long time, which may cause the items that need to be refrigerated to deteriorate in the refrigerator, while electric defrost can only locally heat the evaporator, causing uneven heating, and it is difficult to melt all the frost on the surface of the evaporator. Therefore, a defrost system based on a commercial low-temperature air-cooled refrigerator is proposed. Utility Model Content

When connected to the refrigerator storage room, normal temperature air is introduced into the outer shell, and the low-temperature air cooled by the fins is discharged into the storage room.

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution of a defrosting system based on a commercial low-temperature air-cooled freezer: a defrosting system based on a commercial low-temperature air-cooled freezer, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, it includes an outer shell 1, a protective cover is arranged at the front end of the outer shell 1, a booster fan 3 is installed in the middle of the protective cover, and the booster fan 3 connects the inside of the outer shell 1 with the outside, and at the same time, an external pipe 2 passes through the top of the protective cover, and the external pipe 2 is connected with the external hot air source through a conduit, and the hot air source can be emitted by a hot air blower or a hot air pump. An exhaust pipe 5 is arranged in the middle of the end of the outer shell 1, and the exhaust pipe 5 is connected with the refrigerator through a three-way valve. A drain pipe 4 is arranged below the exhaust pipe 5, and a rack is arranged in the middle of the inner part of the outer shell 1. Between the rack and the inner wall of the outer shell 1 A number of fins 8 are evenly installed, and the fins 8 pass through the front and rear ends of the outer shell 1. At the same time, two coils pass through the fins 8, namely a first coil 6 facing the outside and a second coil 7 facing the inside. The front ends of the two coils pass through the outer shell 1. The first coil 6 is connected to an external low-temperature liquid source. The two coils are spirally shaped, spiraling from the front end of the outer shell 1 to the end of the outer shell 1. At the same time, the two coils are connected at the end of the outer shell 1. A connecting pipe 9 is installed at the front end of the rack rod. The connecting pipe 9 is connected to the external pipe 2, and a number of dispersing holes 10 are evenly opened on the connecting pipe 9.

[0021] Working principle: This device is installed inside the refrigerator, wherein the booster fan 3 is directly exposed to the outside air, and the exhaust pipe 5 is connected to the storage room inside the refrigerator through a three-way valve and a conduit, wherein the three-way valve is electrically controlled, and the position of the booster fan 3 is slightly lifted upward, so that the condensed water generated in the subsequent defrosting operation of the device can be conveniently discharged from the drain pipe 4. During normal operation, the booster fan 3 works to inject a large amount of normal temperature air into the interior of the outer shell 1. When the normal temperature air passes through the fins 8, it exchanges heat with the low-temperature refrigerant, and the normal temperature air is cooled to cold air, and then gathered at the exhaust pipe 5 and introduced into the storage room inside the refrigerator. After a certain period of use, frost will appear on the surface of the fins 8. At this time, the hot air blower works to generate high temperature air, It is transmitted to the inside of the protective cover through the external pipe 2, and then evenly distributed from the distribution holes 10 on the connecting pipe 9. The normal temperature air driven by the booster fan 3 when it is working will cause the hot air to move from the front end to the rear end of the outer shell 1. During the movement, the hot air will remove the frost on the surface of the fin 8. The removed frost melts into water and is discharged from the drain pipe 4 along the inclined outer shell 1. During the defrosting operation, when the hot air is discharged through the exhaust pipe 5, the electrically controlled three-way valve works, so that the hot air will flow out from the other end of the three-way valve and will not flow into the interior of the refrigerator to affect the storage in the refrigerator. After the defrosting operation is completed, the electrically controlled three-way valve is restored, the external hot air blower stops working, and the cold air generated by the evaporator can enter the refrigerator normally through the three-way valve.
