Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-cooled refrigerators, in particular to an air-cooled refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] An air-cooled refrigerator is a refrigeration device that uses internal circulating cold air to achieve low-temperature storage. It has the advantage of being frost-free compared to direct-cooling refrigerators. An air-cooled refrigerator cools through an internal evaporator to reduce the temperature. However, the evaporator will produce a large amount of condensed water on its surface during operation, which will affect the dryness inside the refrigerator. Therefore, air-cooled refrigerators are often provided with a water storage box to collect condensed water. Since the water storage box is often arranged in a raised shape on the back or bottom of the box, placing it on the back of the refrigerator will result in the refrigerator's appearance being insufficiently flat, which is not conducive to the placement of products. If it is placed between the bottom casters, it is easy to be accidentally damaged by a forklift when the box is moved. In addition, the bottom space is small, and the evaporated water vapor is easy to condense into water droplets on the bottom plate of the refrigerator and drip back onto the floor, causing pollution and possibly damaging the ground.

[0003] The above contents are only used to assist in understanding the technical solution of the present utility model, and do not constitute an admission that the above contents are the closest prior art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an air-cooled refrigerator.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An air-cooled refrigerator comprises a box body, a refrigeration bin arranged in the box body, and a compressor arranged in the box body and isolated from the refrigeration bin, wherein an evaporator and a circulating fan for circulating cold air are arranged in the refrigeration bin, a water receiving pan for collecting condensed water is arranged below the evaporator, an inner groove whose height is lower than the water receiving pan is arranged on the outer surface of the box body, and the water receiving pan and the inner groove are connected by a condensed water collecting pipe; a high-temperature exhaust pipe for transporting waste heat is arranged on the compressor, and a section of the high-temperature exhaust pipe is arranged in the inner groove.

[0007] Furthermore, a section of the high-temperature exhaust pipe located in the inner groove is arranged in a zigzag shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner groove is filled with a porous air-permeable water-absorbent material, and the high-temperature exhaust pipe is buried in the porous air-permeable water-absorbent material.

[0009] Furthermore, the porous breathable water-absorbing material is sponge, bamboo fiber, or microfiber fabric.

[0010] Furthermore, a breathable net is arranged in the inner groove and surrounds the outer side of the porous breathable water-absorbing material.

[0011] Furthermore, the water receiving tray is inclined toward one side of the condensed water collecting pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, a water trap is provided at one end of the condensate collecting pipe close to the inner groove.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this solution is that the device has an inner groove for storing water on the outside of the box, so that there is no need to set a raised water storage box, thereby improving the flatness of the box surface, ensuring that the product is easy to place and carry, and is not prone to structural damage.

[0014] The device is provided with porous breathable water-absorbing materials, so that the collected condensed water can be absorbed and distributed in a diffused manner, thereby increasing the contact area between the condensed water and the air, so that it can evaporate faster after being heated, and the situation of over-collection and overflow will not occur.

[0023] The following will be combined with 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. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 An air-cooled refrigerator shown in the figure includes a box body 1, a refrigeration compartment 11 arranged in the box body 1, and a compressor 12 arranged in the box body 1 and isolated from the refrigeration compartment 11. An evaporator 13 and a circulating fan 14 for circulating cold air are arranged in the refrigeration compartment 11. A water receiving pan 2 for collecting condensed water is arranged below the evaporator 13. An inner groove 21 with a height lower than the water receiving pan 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the box body 1. The water receiving pan 2 and the inner groove 21 are connected through a condensed water collecting pipe 22; a high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 for transporting waste heat is arranged on the compressor 12, and a section of the high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 is arranged in the inner groove 21.

[0025] The refrigeration principle of the air-cooled refrigerator is to use the circulating fan 14 to circulate the air flow in the refrigeration compartment 11, so that it passes through the evaporator 13 and exchanges heat. The temperature of the air flow after the heat exchange is reduced, thereby achieving the internal refrigeration effect. However, since the evaporator 13 will form a large amount of condensed water on the surface after absorbing heat, if the condensed water is not removed, it will affect the dryness of the air in the refrigeration compartment 11. Therefore, a conventional refrigerator will be provided with a water storage box 10 for collecting condensed water, and the water storage box 10 is placed on the rear side or bottom side of the box body 1. Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, this placement method will affect the flatness of the outer surface of the box body 1, which is not conducive to the placement and transportation of the product. Therefore, the device arranges a water receiving tray 2 at the bottom of the evaporator 13 to collect the condensed water dripping from its surface, and collects it into the inner groove 21 through the condensed water collection pipe 22, thereby ensuring the flatness and aesthetics of the outer surface of the box body 1. Then, the high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 is introduced into the inner groove 21, so that the waste heat generated by the compressor 12 is used to evaporate the condensed water, thereby ensuring a good elimination effect of the condensed water.

[0026] In one embodiment, a section of the high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 located in the inner groove 21 is arranged in a zigzag shape, thereby increasing the contact area between the outer surface of the high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 and the condensed water, thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of the condensed water.

[0027] In one embodiment, the inner groove 21 is filled with a porous breathable water-absorbent material 3, and a high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 is buried in the porous breathable water-absorbent material 3. The porous breathable water-absorbent material 3 may be sponge, bamboo fiber, microfiber fabric, etc., and has good water absorption and heat dissipation properties, so that the condensed water can be quickly absorbed after entering the inner groove 21, and the porous structure of the porous breathable water-absorbent material 3 is used to increase the contact area between the condensed water and the air, and then the high-temperature exhaust pipe 23 buried in the porous breathable water-absorbent material 3 can further accelerate the evaporation rate of the condensed water after heating the condensed water, so that the condensed water will not overflow due to excessive collection in the inner groove 21.

[0028] In one embodiment, a breathable net 4 is provided in the inner groove 21 to surround the outside of the porous breathable water-absorbing material 3. The arrangement of the breathable net 4 can stabilize the placement of the porous breathable water-absorbing material 3 so that it will not fall from the inner groove 21, and the mesh holes of the breathable net 4 can quickly discharge the evaporated condensed water.

[0029] In one embodiment, the water receiving tray 2 is tilted toward one side of the condensate collecting pipe 22. The tilt of the water receiving tray can accelerate the transportation of the condensate inside the water receiving tray to the condensate collecting pipe 22, thereby improving the drainage efficiency.

[0030] In one embodiment, a water trap 5 is provided at one end of the condensate collecting pipe 22 close to the inner groove. Since the inner groove 21 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the housing 1, when the condensate collecting pipe 22 is used to connect the water receiving pan 2 located on the inner side of the housing 1 and the inner groove 21 located on the outer side of the water receiving pan 2, the cold air inside the refrigeration compartment 11 will also leak to the outside through the condensate collecting pipe 22, which will increase the energy consumption of the refrigerator. Therefore, the water trap 5 is provided so that it can cooperate with the condensate to form a water seal for the condensate collecting pipe 22, thereby avoiding the overflow of cold air. The water storage function of the water trap 5 also prevents the condensate from being directly sent to the inner groove 21 after being collected by the water receiving pan 2 and drained into the condensate collecting pipe 22, thereby reducing the water storage speed in the inner groove 21, making it lower than the evaporation rate of the condensate by the high-temperature exhaust pipe 23, thereby stabilizing the condensate elimination effect of the device.

[0031] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
