[0002] Evaporators used in cold storage, process cold air and other places with an outlet temperature below 0°C will frost on the surface of the coil during operation. When the frost layer reaches a certain thickness, it will seriously affect the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator. Electric heating, hot fluorine, hot ammonia and water spraying are generally used to frost the evaporator. When defrosting, the system needs to stop the refrigeration operation, which will cause the controlled temperature to fluctuate, reduce the working stability and efficiency of the system, and when the application and process requirements do not allow intermittent refrigeration, only spare equipment can be added, which increases the cost;

[0003] After searching, the patent with publication number CN201688635U discloses a defrosting mechanism for an evaporator. The device adopts a scraper mechanical defrosting, which can meet the system's uninterrupted refrigeration requirements, improve the system's working stability and work efficiency, has a simple structure, saves energy, has low configuration and use costs, and has a good defrosting effect.

[0004] However, when the above mechanism is working, the scraper is driven to move by the installed cylinder. The cylinder is installed to protrude outward, which takes up space and makes the evaporator inconvenient to install. At the same time, only one side of the surface of the evaporator tube can be defrosted, and the defrosting effect is not good. In addition, the defrosting efficiency is low because of the simple scraper structure. Summary of the invention

[0007] Vertical plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower mounting plate, and the bottom ends of the two vertical plates are fixedly connected to a base plate. A fan and an air heater are installed at the bottom of the base plate. A through pipe is arranged above the base plate, and the outer wall of the through pipe is connected to multiple air injection pipes.

[0008] In order to facilitate the spraying of hot air between the evaporation tubes, as a preferred defrosting mechanism of an evaporator of the utility model, the air heater and the through-tube are connected by a pipeline, and the fan and the air heater are connected by a pipeline.

[0009] In order to improve the defrosting efficiency, as a preferred defrosting mechanism of an evaporator of the utility model, the plurality of air jet pipes all penetrate the lower mounting plate and extend between the plurality of evaporation tubes.

[0010] In order to defrost the surface wall of the evaporator tube, as a preferred defrosting mechanism of an evaporator of the utility model, the two scrapers are provided with a plurality of arc-shaped grooves matching the evaporator tube on opposite sides.

[0011] In order to improve the scraping effect, as a preferred defrosting mechanism of an evaporator of the utility model, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0012] In order to drive the screw to rotate, as a preferred defrosting mechanism of an evaporator of the utility model, a motor is installed on the outer wall of the upper mounting plate, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the screw.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0014] When the utility model is used, the fan and the air heater are first started, and the fan introduces the hot air heated by the air heater into the interior of the through pipe, and then sprays it between the multiple evaporator tubes through multiple air spray pipes, thereby accelerating the melting of frost on the surface walls of the multiple evaporator tubes and reducing the viscosity between the frost and the surface walls of the evaporator tubes.
