Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic water collecting and storing devices for refrigerators, in particular to an automatic water collecting and receiving tray and a refrigerator. Background Art
[0002] The water tray plays a vital role in the use of the refrigerator. It is mainly used to collect the condensed water generated by the cabinet, door, etc. during the refrigeration process of the refrigerator and the defrost water generated by the evaporator. The existing water trays are mainly divided into two types: self-evaporating type integrated with the unit and external separate type. The self-evaporating water tray often buries a refrigerant copper pipe and is used as a secondary condenser. While the condensed water accumulates in the water tray, the hot air generated by the unit and the heat from the copper pipe can accelerate the evaporation of the water and achieve a dynamic balance, thus eliminating the need for manual pouring of water. However, when the refrigerator has a large drainage volume, the ambient humidity is high and the evaporation rate is low, the evaporation effect of the self-evaporating water tray will deteriorate and cannot meet the demand. The external separate water tray can effectively collect condensed water when the refrigerator has a large amount of water discharge, and manually pour the water to avoid water overflow, but its design also has some problems: because the refrigerator generates condensed water in many places such as the evaporator, the cabinet, and the door, the water outlets are usually far apart, and an open water tray is usually required to cover all the water outlets, but this will cause condensed water to splash and drip onto the ground when the water tray is used to pour water manually. Another non-open water tray needs to add a drain pipe to collect the condensed water from all the water outlets into the water tray, but this will cause the drain pipe to be removed before pouring water manually, which also causes inconvenience in operation. Therefore, it is necessary to design an automatic water collection tray and refrigerator that can facilitate operators to pour water and solve the problem of condensed water splashing and dripping when operators use the water tray to pour water.

[0022] The implementation modes of the present utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0023] like Figure 1-3An automatic water collecting tray is shown, comprising a water collecting tray 2 located below the device, wherein the water collecting tray 2 is provided with a shell inner cavity, a guide surface located on the upper side of the shell inner cavity, a liquid storage tank 27 located on one side of the guide surface, a water inlet 25 located on the guide surface, and a pouring port 211, wherein the pouring port 211 is located at one end of the water collecting tray 2, and the liquid storage tank 27 is located on a side adjacent to or opposite to the pouring port 211. When the water collecting tray 2 is rotated to form a certain angle with the horizontal plane so that the height of the pouring port 211 is higher than the upper end surface height of the liquid surface of the shell inner cavity, the liquid storage tank 27 is used to collect condensed water droplets remaining on the guide surface.
[0024] The utility model provides a guide surface on a non-open water receiving tray 2, and provides a water inlet 25 on the guide surface. The guide surface can effectively guide the condensed water dripping on the device to the water inlet 25 and then enter the inner cavity of the shell, thereby solving the problem of the non-open water receiving tray 2 needing to add a drain pipe to connect the condensed water at the water outlet position on the device to the water inlet 25; in addition, by arranging the pouring port 211 at the end of the water receiving tray 2, when the operator needs to lift the water receiving tray 2 from a lying state to an upright state, it is ensured that the pouring port 211 is higher than the water inlet 25 to prevent the condensed water from flowing out of the pouring port 211, and at the same time, it also solves the risk of splashing water that is easy to occur when the operator takes the open water receiving tray 2 to pour water; finally, by arranging a liquid storage tank 27 at the end of the water receiving tray 2 away from the pouring port 211, when the user lifts the water receiving tray 2 to pour water, the condensed water droplets remaining on the guide surface can flow to the liquid storage tank 27 through the guide surface, further preventing the condensed water from dripping onto the ground.
[0025] Specifically, some open water receiving trays 2 on the market need to cover every water outlet position on the equipment, resulting in too large an exposure of the water receiving tray 2. The too large exposure can easily cause water splashing during the process of manually taking it to pour water, which can cause inconvenience in operation. Some non-open water receiving trays 2 can be provided with a smaller water inlet 25, and the condensed water at each water outlet position is collected together through a drain pipe, and the end of the drain pipe is inserted into the water inlet 25 to discharge the condensed water on the device. Although the smaller water inlet 25 can avoid the problem of water splashing, it will result in the need to take out the drain pipe first when manually pouring water, which is inconvenient to operate. Similarly, water droplets will stick to the drain pipe, and there is a risk of dripping on the ground.
[0026] The utility model provides a guide surface on a non-open water receiving tray 2, and provides a water inlet 25 on one side of the guide surface. This arrangement can effectively guide the condensed water dripping from the device to the water inlet 25 through the guide surface, and then flow into the shell cavity of the water receiving tray 2. By collecting the condensed water in this way, the water inlet 25 can be set smaller, and only a small hole is needed as a water flow channel, which can effectively prevent splashing, reduce the risk of splashing when manually taking the water receiving tray 2 to pour water, and ensure the dryness of the ground. At the same time, this arrangement also makes it unnecessary to take out the drain pipe first when pouring water manually, which simplifies the operation steps and improves convenience. In addition, the utility model also adds the pouring port 2 11 is arranged at the end of the water receiving tray 2. When the operator needs to take the water receiving tray 2 to pour water, the pouring port 211 can be lifted to lift the water receiving tray 2 from the lying state to the upright state. At this time, the height of the pouring port 211 will be higher than the water inlet 25, and the water level will not exceed the height of the bottom surface of the water inlet 25. This arrangement effectively prevents the risk of condensed water flowing out of the pouring port 211. In addition, by arranging a liquid storage tank 27 at the end of the water receiving tray 2 away from the pouring port 211, when the user lifts the water receiving tray 2 to pour water, the water droplets remaining on the guide surface can flow into the liquid storage tank 27 through the guide surface, effectively preventing the residual water droplets from flowing out of the water receiving tray 2 and dripping onto the ground, keeping the ground clean and tidy. The liquid storage tank 27 can also be arranged on the side adjacent to the pouring port 211, which can also achieve the above effect.
[0027] Further, such as Figure 1 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the guide surface is provided with at least a second guide surface 22 and a third guide surface 23, a first guide surface 21 respectively connecting the second guide surface 22 and the third guide surface 23, and a fourth guide surface 24, the first guide surface 21, the second guide surface 22, the third guide surface 23 and the fourth guide surface 24 are all inclined to the horizontal plane and intersect at the water inlet 25, so that the guide surface is funnel-shaped.
[0028] The utility model forms a funnel-shaped structure by setting a plurality of inclined guide surfaces and making them intersect at the water inlet 25. This setting ensures that no matter where the condensed water droplets drip, they can quickly and effectively gather to the water inlet 25 along the various inclined guide surfaces after contacting the water receiving tray 2, thereby avoiding stagnation of water on the guide surfaces, thereby improving the water collection efficiency; further, this setting helps to prevent the accumulated water on the water receiving tray 2 from overflowing. Since the water flows on the guide surfaces along the inclined direction, the water can naturally flow to the water inlet 25, avoiding the problem of excessive accumulation of condensed water on the surface of the water receiving tray 2 and overflowing.
[0029] Further, such as Figure 1-3An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the water collecting tray 2 is also provided with an extension step 26 higher than the guide surface, the extension step 26 is provided with a first extension surface 261 intersecting with the first guide surface 21 and the fourth guide surface 24, and a third extension surface 263 intersecting with the third guide surface 23 and inclined with the horizontal plane, the two first extension surfaces 261, the third guide surface 23 and the third extension surface 263 enclose the liquid storage tank 27.
[0030] In the present invention, an extension step 26 higher than the guide surface is provided on the water receiving tray 2. This arrangement can prevent the problem that a small amount of condensed water remaining on the guide surface will drip onto the ground when the water receiving tray 2 needs to be lifted from a horizontal position to a vertical position during the process of manually taking the water receiving tray 2 to pour water. Specifically, a third extension surface 263 intersecting with the second guide surface 22 and inclined to the horizontal plane is provided on the extension step 26. A groove is formed between the third extension surface 263 and the second guide surface 22. When the water receiving tray 2 is in a vertical position, the groove is located at the lowest end and is used to collect the condensed water on the guide surface when the water receiving tray 2 is lifted to the vertical position. The condensed water droplets flowing toward the ground can be effectively prevented from dripping onto the ground; further, the extended step 26 is also provided with two first extension surfaces 261 respectively intersecting with the first guide surface 21 and the fourth guide surface 24, and the first extension surface 261, the third guide surface 23 and the third extension surface 263 enclose a liquid storage tank 27. This arrangement enables when the water receiving tray 2 is in a vertical state, after the condensed water droplets drip and are collected in the liquid storage tank 27, the condensed water that may originally flow out along the first guide surface 21 and the fourth guide surface 24 will be blocked by the first extension surface 261, so that the condensed water is effectively collected in the liquid storage tank 27.
[0031] Further, such as Figure 1 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the projections of the first guide surface 21, the second guide surface 22, the third guide surface 23 and the fourth guide surface 24 are all arranged in a triangular shape, the first guide surface 21 intersects with the second guide surface 22 and the third guide surface 23 to form a guide groove 28, and the fourth guide surface 24 intersects with the second guide surface 22 and the third guide surface 23 to form a guide groove 28.
[0032] The utility model designs the first guide surface 21, the second guide surface 22, the third guide surface 23 and the fourth guide surface 24 to be projected into a triangular shape. This shape has good guiding properties and can effectively guide water droplets to flow along a predetermined path, so that the water receiving tray 2 can more efficiently collect water droplets from different directions, thereby reducing the splashing and loss of water flow. Through this arrangement, no matter from which direction the water droplets fall on the water receiving tray 2, they can be quickly concentrated and flow toward the water inlet 25 along the inclined guide surfaces; further, the guide surfaces form guide grooves 28 at the intersections, and these guide grooves 28 play a role in guiding the water flow, ensuring that the condensed water can flow smoothly to the water inlet 25, avoiding the dispersion and retention of the water flow. This arrangement can not only improve the water collection efficiency of the water receiving tray 2, but also reduce the stagnation time of water on the surface of the water receiving tray 2, which helps to prevent the problems of water accumulation and overflow, thereby ensuring the use effect and reliability of the water receiving tray 2.
[0033] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the extension step 26 is also provided with a second extension surface 262 intersecting with the second guide surface 22, and the pouring port 211 is located at the intersection of the third guide surface 23 and the first guide surface 21 or the fourth guide surface 24, and intersects with the first extension surface 261 and the second extension surface 262.
[0034] The utility model arranges the pouring port 211 at the intersection of the third guide surface 23 and the first guide surface 21 or the fourth guide surface 24, and intersects with the first extension surface 261 and the second extension surface 262. This arrangement arranges the pouring port 211 at the corner of the water receiving tray 2. When the operator needs to take the water receiving tray 2 to pour water, he needs to lift the end of the pouring port 211 and lift the water receiving tray 2 from the lying state to the upright state. At this time, the height of the pouring port 211 will be higher than the water inlet 25, and water will naturally flow to the end other than the pouring port, that is, the ground side. The final water level height is just slightly lower than the position of the water inlet 25, thereby avoiding the risk of water overflowing from the pouring port 211; further, because the pouring port 211 is close to the side of the water receiving tray 2, the user can ensure that the condensed water in the inner cavity of the shell can be poured out smoothly when pouring water, avoiding the formation of residual water at the pouring port 211. This arrangement not only improves the efficiency of pouring water, but also ensures the cleanliness of the water receiving tray 2.
[0035] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the distance from the water inlet 25 to the third extension surface 263 is greater than the distance from the water inlet 25 to the second extension surface 262 , and the inclination angle of the third guide surface 23 is greater than the inclination angle of the second guide surface 22 .
[0036] The utility model sets the distance from the water inlet 25 to the third extension surface 263 to be greater than the distance from the water inlet 25 to the second extension surface 262, so that the inclination angle of the third guide surface 23 is greater than the inclination angle of the second guide surface 22. For a water outlet position on the device with a small water output and a slow water output speed, when a small amount of water droplets drip onto the guide surface at this position, the water droplets may stagnate on the guide surface due to insufficient gravity. The guide surface with a larger inclination angle can provide a greater gravity force and can more effectively guide the water droplets to the water inlet 25. Therefore, the guide surface with a larger inclination angle is placed at the water outlet position with a small water output and a slow water output speed. This setting can better guide the condensed water to the water inlet 25. Even a small amount of water droplets can slide down the guide surface faster. At the same time, it ensures that the water receiving tray 2 can maintain efficient water collection performance under different conditions to avoid the stagnation of water droplets on the guide surface.
[0037] Further, such as Figure 1 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the water inlet 25 is arranged in a hole shape, and the edge of the water inlet 25 is provided with a smooth rounded corner.
[0038] In the utility model, the water inlet 25 is set as a circular hole type, and the edge is set as a smooth rounded corner. The circular hole type water inlet 25 can effectively concentrate the water flow, prevent water from dispersing on the surface of the water receiving tray 2, and help the water flow to quickly enter the water receiving tray 2. The smooth rounded corners further reduce the resistance of the water flow, ensuring that the condensed water can quickly flow into the water receiving tray 2. This setting not only improves the water collection efficiency of the water receiving tray 2, but also reduces the retention of condensed water at the edge of the water inlet 25, making the entire water collection process more efficient and smooth.
[0039] Further, such as Figure 1 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the four sides of the water collecting tray 2 adjacent to the guide surface are further provided with convex ribs 210, and the water collecting tray 2 is made of transparent PP plastic.
[0040] The utility model provides convex ribs 210 on four sides adjacent to the guide surface, and this arrangement is used to strengthen the strength of the side surface of the water receiving tray 2, thereby increasing its structural stability and durability; further, the convex rib 210 also serves as a water level line. When the water receiving tray 2 is placed horizontally, the water level reaches the position of the convex rib 210, indicating that the water is full. When the water receiving tray 2 is placed vertically to pour water, the water level will be just lower than the height of the water inlet 25, thereby preventing water from flowing out of the water inlet 25; further, the water receiving tray 2 can be made of transparent PP plastic as a whole, or the upper end surface of the water receiving tray 2 can be made of transparent PP plastic. This arrangement enables the user to easily observe the water level in the water receiving tray 2 and deal with it in time to prevent overflow.
[0041] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 An automatic water collecting tray is shown, wherein the water collecting tray 2 is provided with a second handle position 212 located near the third guide surface 23 , and the water collecting tray 2 is further provided with a first handle position 29 located near the second guide surface 22 .
[0042] In the utility model, the water receiving tray is provided with a first handle position 29 on the side close to the second guide surface 22, and a second handle position 212 on the side close to the third guide surface 23. When the water level is at or below the set water level line, the second handle position 212 is only needed to be grasped to pull the water receiving tray out from the bottom of the device, and then the water receiving tray is lifted up vertically to pour water. In the process of the water receiving tray being placed from horizontal to vertical, water gradually converges to the end without the pouring port, and its water level height is just slightly lower than the water inlet position, so as to prevent water from flowing out of the water inlet. This arrangement is convenient for operation and can better prevent splashing. When the water level is already higher than the set water level line, the second handle position 212 and the first handle position 29 can be grasped at the same time, the water receiving tray can be lifted up horizontally and then taken to pour water. This arrangement not only facilitates the transportation of the water receiving tray, but also ensures the convenience of operation during the pouring process.
[0043] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 The refrigerator shown includes the automatic water collection tray, and the bottom of the refrigerator 1 is also provided with a door water outlet 11 and a box water outlet 12 respectively located on the upper side of the guide surface.
[0044] The bottom of the refrigerator 1 in the utility model is provided with a door water outlet 11 and a box water outlet 12, and these water outlet positions can effectively guide the condensed water inside the refrigerator 1 to the water receiving tray 2, prevent the condensed water from accumulating inside the refrigerator 1, and keep the refrigerator 1 dry and clean; further, since the water output of the door water outlet 11 is small, the side of the guide surface of the water receiving tray 2 with a larger inclination angle is placed below the door water outlet 11, so that the condensed water coming out of the door water outlet 11 can flow into the water receiving tray 2 more smoothly and quickly. This arrangement not only improves the processing efficiency of condensed water, but also simplifies the operation, providing users with a more convenient and high-quality use experience.
[0045] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the implementation method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0046] Embodiment 1:
[0047] Place the water collecting tray 2 at the bottom of the refrigerator 1, ensure that the third guide surface 23 is located below the door water outlet 11 of the refrigerator 1, and the second guide surface 22 is located below the box water outlet 12. Because the water output and speed of the door water outlet 11 are usually much smaller than the water output of the box water outlet 12, the condensed water coming out of the door water outlet 11 will find it difficult to flow into the water inlet 25 along the guide surface due to insufficient gravity. The third guide surface 23 has a larger inclination angle than the second guide surface 22, which can speed up the speed at which the condensed water coming out of the door water outlet 11 flows into the water inlet 25.
[0048] When the refrigerator is in operation, condensed water drips from the door water outlet 11 and the box water outlet 12 to the guide surface, and enters the water receiving tray 2 through the water inlet 25. When the water level is close to the position of the rib 210, it indicates that it is close to being full of water. At this time, it is necessary to grasp the second handle position 212 of the water receiving tray 2 close to the pouring port 211 and lift it vertically. Since the water level is at or below the rib 210 when in the lying state, ensure that the height of the water inlet 25 is higher than the water level in the vertical state, and the height of the pouring port 211 is also higher than the height of the water inlet 25, so that condensed water will not flow out from the water inlet 25 and the pouring port 211. Then, take the water receiving tray 2 for subsequent pouring operations.
[0049] During the final pouring operation, because the pouring port 211 is located at the corner of the water receiving tray and close to the side of the water receiving tray 2, the user can pour out the condensed water in the inner cavity of the shell smoothly when pouring water, avoiding the formation of residual water at the pouring port 211.
[0050] Embodiment 2:
[0051] When the user forgets to observe the water level and the water level of the water tray 2 is higher than the rib 210 when it is placed horizontally, that is, the water level is higher than the set water level line, it means that the condensed water is overloaded. At this time, the water tray 2 cannot be placed vertically. If it is placed vertically, the water level will be higher than the water inlet 25, and the condensed water will flow out from the water inlet 25. At this time, the water tray 2 can be pulled out through the second handle position 212, and the first handle position 29 and the second handle position 212 can be grasped at the same time to lift the water tray 2 horizontally and take it away for subsequent pouring operations.
[0052] The above examples are only used to further illustrate the technical content of the utility model, so that readers can understand it more easily, but it does not mean that the implementation methods of the utility model are limited to this. Any technical extension or re-creation made based on the utility model is protected by the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model shall be based on the claims.
