Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-temperature cabinets, in particular to a low-temperature cabinet uniform defrosting structure and a low-temperature cabinet. Background Art

[0002] The frozen and refrigerated food industry is developing rapidly, and the number of supermarkets and hypermarkets is increasing rapidly. It is imperative to establish a complete cold chain system including production, storage, transportation, and sales. Among them, low-temperature cabinets are an indispensable component. Low-temperature cabinets are widely used in kitchens, supermarkets, and large retail malls.

[0003] At present, the defrosting of low-temperature cabinets is performed by arranging heating tubes under the evaporator. After the defrosting is started, the heating tubes start to work and use heat radiation to melt the ice on the surface of the evaporator. However, there will still be residual ice in some blind areas of the evaporator after the defrosting cycle is over. In this way, the residual ice will accumulate more and more under the continuous circulation of the refrigeration cycle, thereby causing the evaporator to be blocked, the refrigeration performance to be reduced, and the food in the customer's cabinet to be damaged. In addition, when the existing low-temperature cabinet is moved on an uneven road, the internal components of the low-temperature cabinet may be loosened due to shaking, thereby affecting the service life of the low-temperature cabinet. Therefore, a uniform defrosting structure and a low-temperature cabinet are proposed. Utility Model Content
