[0016] Through the above technical solution, the fixing plate provides stable support for the water receiving tray through the sliding connection with the limiting guide rail, and is also convenient for installation and disassembly, improving the convenience during use.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:
[0018] The present utility model is provided with a cooling pipe, a water receiving tray and a water outlet pipe. Specifically, the condensed water flows into the interior of the cooling pipe through the water outlet pipe. When the compressor operates, a large amount of heat is generated. The heat generated by the compressor is absorbed by the copper cooling pipe, and the spiral-shaped cooling pipe increases the exchange area, improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Moreover, the condensed water continuously flows into the interior of the cooling pipe to cool down the temperature of the cooling pipe, so that the temperature during the operation of the compressor is controlled, avoiding the performance decline or damage of the compressor caused by overheating, thereby prolonging the service life of the compressor, and at the same time ensuring the stable operation of the refrigerator. At the same time, the temperature of the cooling pipe also promotes the evaporation of the condensed water, effectively solving the problem of condensed water treatment, reducing the need for additional evaporation equipment, and improving the practicality during actual use.
[0019] The utility model is provided with a water receiving tray and a water outlet pipe. Specifically, the water outlet pipe is pulled out from the inside of the connection hole, and then the water receiving tray is pulled through the through groove so that the fixing plate slides on the inner wall of the limit guide rail, and the water receiving tray can be removed, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning of the inside of the water receiving tray and improves the convenience during actual use.

[0028] Embodiment:
[0029] Please combine Figures 1-5, A water receiving tray device for a refrigerator in this embodiment includes a refrigerator 1. A groove 2 is opened at the front end of the refrigerator 1. The inner bottom wall of the groove 2 is fixedly connected with a compressor 3. The surface of the compressor 3 is fixedly connected with a cooling pipe 4. A water receiving tray 5 is arranged above the compressor 3. The upper end of the cooling pipe 4 is fixedly connected with a water outlet pipe 6. The inner top wall of the groove 2 is fixedly connected with a limit guide rail 11. The inner wall of the limit guide rail 11 is slidably connected with a fixing plate 10. The condensed water inside the refrigerator 1 is discharged into the water receiving tray 5. Due to the inclined plate 9 arranged inside the water receiving tray 5, the condensed water flows towards the position of the connection hole 7, and the condensed water flows into the interior of the cooling pipe 4 through the water outlet pipe 6. When the compressor 3 operates, it generates a large amount of heat. The heat generated by the compressor 3 is absorbed by the cooling pipe 4 made of copper material. Moreover, the spiral-shaped cooling pipe 4 increases the exchange area and improves the heat dissipation efficiency. And the condensed water continuously flows into the interior of the cooling pipe 4 to cool down the temperature of the cooling pipe 4, so that the temperature during the operation of the compressor 3 is controlled, avoiding the performance decline or damage of the compressor 3 caused by overheating, thereby prolonging the service life of the compressor 3, and at the same time ensuring the stable operation of the refrigerator 1. At the same time, the temperature of the cooling pipe 4 also promotes the evaporation of the condensed water, effectively solving the problem of condensed water treatment, reducing the demand for additional evaporation equipment, and improving the practicality during actual use.
[0030] The cooling pipe 4 is a copper pipe and the cooling pipe 4 is spiral-shaped.
[0031] The lower surface of the water receiving tray 5 contacts the top of the compressor 3. The water outlet pipe 6 is communicated with the cooling pipe 4, and the water outlet pipe 6 is a flexible pipe.
[0032] A connection hole 7 is opened on the inner wall of the water receiving tray 5. One end of the water outlet pipe 6 away from the cooling pipe 4 is inserted into the inner wall of the connection hole 7.
[0033] A through groove 8 is opened at one end of the water receiving tray 5, and an inclined plate 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water receiving tray 5.
[0034] The number of the fixing plates 10 is set to two. One ends of the two fixing plates 10 close to each other are fixedly connected to the surface of the water receiving tray 5. By pulling the water receiving tray 5 through the through groove 8 to make the fixing plate 10 slide on the inner wall of the limit guide rail 11, the water receiving tray 5 can be removed, which is convenient for subsequent cleaning of the interior of the water receiving tray 5 and improves the convenience during actual use.
[0035] The number of the limit guide rails 11 corresponds to that of the fixing plates 10.
[0036] The implementation principle of a water receiving tray device for a refrigerator in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: During use, the condensed water inside the refrigerator 1 is discharged into the interior of the water receiving tray 5. Due to the inclined plate 9 provided inside the water receiving tray 5, the condensed water flows towards the position of the connecting hole 7, and the condensed water flows through the water outlet pipe 6 into the interior of the cooling pipe 4. When the compressor 3 operates, it generates a large amount of heat. The heat generated by the compressor 3 is absorbed by the copper cooling pipe 4. Moreover, the spiral design of the cooling pipe 4 increases the exchange area and improves the heat dissipation efficiency. And the condensed water continuously flows into the interior of the cooling pipe 4 to cool down the temperature of the cooling pipe 4, so that the temperature during the operation of the compressor 3 is controlled, avoiding the performance decline or damage of the compressor 3 caused by overheating, thereby extending the service life of the compressor 3. At the same time, the stable operation of the refrigerator 1 is ensured. At the same time, the temperature of the cooling pipe 4 also promotes the evaporation of the condensed water, effectively solving the problem of condensed water treatment, reducing the need for additional evaporation equipment, and improving the practicality during actual use. When it is necessary to clean the interior of the water receiving tray 5, first pull out the water outlet pipe 6 from the interior of the connecting hole 7, and then pull the water receiving tray 5 through the through groove 8 so that the fixing plate 10 slides on the inner wall of the limit guide rail 11, and the water receiving tray 5 can be removed, facilitating the subsequent cleaning of the interior of the water receiving tray 5 and improving the convenience during actual use.
[0037] The above-mentioned implementation manners are only the preferred implementation manners of the present utility model and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model.
