Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water receiving boxes, in particular to a water receiving box structure and a display cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Display cabinets will produce condensed water during operation. This is because the temperature inside the cabinet is lower than the outside temperature. When warm and humid air contacts the cold surface, the moisture in the air condenses into water droplets. The water collection box is used to collect this condensed water.

[0003] At present, when the refrigeration system of the display cabinet is running, the compressor will generate heat, and the water box is usually close to or attached to the compressor so that this part of the heat can be used to evaporate the condensed water. If the compressor is overheated or runs for too long, the temperature of the water box will rise abnormally. The high temperature environment promotes the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. If the temperature of the display cabinet is set too low or the refrigeration system fails, resulting in over-refrigeration, the water in the water box will freeze into ice, affecting its ability to collect and discharge condensed water. Therefore, this application provides a water box structure to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following is a detailed description of a water receiving box structure provided by the utility model in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. At the same time, it is explained here that in order to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments. For some known technologies, those skilled in the art may also adopt other alternative methods to implement them; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments, and are not intended to specifically limit the utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a water receiving box structure, including: a water receiving box body 3; and the water receiving box body 3 is a double-layer hollow setting; a phase change material 6 is filled and set in the inner cavity of the water receiving box body 3, for absorbing and releasing heat; the surface of the water receiving box body 3 is covered with a silver ion antibacterial coating, for inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the surface of the water receiving box body 3; a drainage part 4 is set above the water receiving box body 3.

[0030] By setting up a silver ion antibacterial coating, it has a broad-spectrum antibacterial property, can inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, reduce the contamination of microorganisms in the display cabinet, and improve the hygiene standard; by setting up a phase change material 6, the phase change material 6 can absorb and release heat within a certain temperature range, and store or release a large amount of latent heat through phase change from solid to liquid or from liquid to solid, thereby adjusting the temperature around the water receiving box body 3 and maintaining a relatively stable temperature environment.

[0031] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drainage part 4 includes: a return pipe 41, which is arranged above the water receiving box body 3 to prevent odor; a water outlet frame 42, which is connected and arranged at the bottom of the return pipe 41, and the water outlet frame 42 is cylindrical.

[0032] By providing the return pipe 41, the odor in the sewer can be prevented from flowing back into the display cabinet, keeping the air in the display cabinet fresh. It can also prevent small insects such as cockroaches and ants from crawling into the display cabinet from the sewer, thereby increasing hygiene and safety and preventing cold air from overflowing.

[0033] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes: a filter 43, which is detachably arranged on the water outlet frame 42 and is used to filter the water flowing through. By setting the filter 43, suspended matter, dust, microorganisms and other impurities in the water can be intercepted to keep the water clean. Two slots are set on the water outlet frame 42, one of which matches the filter 43, and the filter 43 is inserted into the slot, or a buckle or other method can be used.

[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, it also includes: a water absorption plate 45, which is detachably arranged on the water outlet frame 42 and is used to absorb the impact force of the water flow, and the water absorption plate 45 is located at the bottom of the filter screen 43. By arranging the water absorption plate 45, the impact force of the water flow can be absorbed, and the noise and vibration generated when the water flow hits the bottom or side of the water receiving box body 3 can be reduced, the quiet performance of the display cabinet is improved, and the splashing of water can be effectively reduced. One of the slots arranged on the water outlet frame 42 matches the water absorption plate 45, and the water absorption plate 45 is inserted into the slot. If it needs to be taken out, the water absorption plate 45 is pulled out.

[0035] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes: a guide frame 44, which is arranged at the bottom of the water outlet frame 42 and is used to guide the water flow. By setting the guide frame 44, the guide frame 44 is inclined, and the water flow can be guided to flow along a preset path, avoiding the water flow from directly impacting the bottom or side wall of the water receiving box body 3, reducing water splashing and noise.

[0036] A display cabinet, including any of the above-mentioned water receiving box structures, comprises: a display cabinet body 1; a ventilation plate 2, which is slidably arranged on the display cabinet body 1 and is used to take out the water receiving box body 3. By arranging the ventilation plate 2, the display cabinet body 1 is opened by pushing and pulling the ventilation plate 2, so that the water receiving box body 3 can be easily taken out or installed.
