Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and particularly relates to a condensate water assisted evaporation device, a refrigeration system and a freezer. Background Art

[0002] A freezer, also known as a refrigerator or a freezer, is a device used to store items such as food, beverages, and medicines, and maintains its low temperature state through refrigeration technology. It is widely used in commercial, industrial, and household environments to ensure the freshness and safety of food, or to meet the low temperature storage requirements of specific items.

[0003] The working principle of a freezer is mainly based on a refrigeration cycle, including the following key components: a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device (such as an expansion valve), and an evaporator. The compressor is the heart of the refrigeration system. It is responsible for compressing the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. In this process, the refrigerant absorbs the heat of the surrounding environment. After the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas enters the condenser, it releases heat and condenses into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant through heat exchange with the outside air or cooling water. When the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the throttling device, the pressure drops sharply, and part of the liquid refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat, causing the temperature of the refrigerant to also decrease. After the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the evaporator, it quickly evaporates and absorbs the heat inside the refrigeration system, thereby reducing the temperature inside the refrigeration system. In the existing refrigeration system, when the low-temperature evaporator is in long-term contact with the outside air at a relatively high temperature, water molecules in the air will quickly condense to form condensate water.

[0004] However, if this condensate water fails to evaporate or drain in a timely and effective manner, it will accumulate at the bottom of the freezer, causing the evaporation system to overload and unable to completely evaporate all the condensate water, thereby triggering a leakage problem, which not only wets the ground, increases the cleaning difficulty, but may also cause damage to the surrounding environment and the equipment itself. Summary of the Utility Model

[0033] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present utility model belongs. The terms used in the description of the present utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit the present utility model. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0034] Such as Figures 1-6As shown in the figure, a condensate-assisted evaporation device in an embodiment of the present utility model includes a condenser 1, a blowing structure 2, and a water collection and evaporation assembly 3. The blowing structure 2 is fixedly connected to the condenser 1. The water collection and evaporation assembly 3 is disposed within the blowing structure 2 and includes a first water collection structure 31, a first evaporation structure 32, a second water collection structure 33, a second evaporation structure 34, and a third water collection structure 35, which are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. Additionally, in this embodiment, there is also a unit mounting plate 4, and the condenser 1, the blowing structure 2, and the water collection and evaporation assembly 3 are all disposed on the unit mounting plate 4. When condensate is generated, the condensate first drips onto the first water collection structure 31 and flows into the first evaporation structure 32 after preliminary filtration. In the first evaporation structure 32, the condensate is quickly absorbed and evaporated. As the evaporation process progresses, the first evaporation structure 32 gradually becomes saturated, and the excess water slides down to the second water collection structure 33. The condensate accumulated in the second water collection structure 33 is processed again by the second evaporation structure 34 until it finally falls into the third water collection structure 35 for discharge or further treatment. Throughout the process, the blowing structure 2 continuously provides hot air or cold air to accelerate the evaporation process of the condensate.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: The blowing structure 2 includes a fan 21 and a wind deflector 22. The fan 21 is disposed within the wind deflector 22, and the fan 21 and the wind deflector 22 are respectively fixedly connected to the condenser 1. The water collection and evaporation assembly 3 is disposed within the wind deflector 22. When the refrigerant condenses in the condenser 1, the condenser 1 releases a large amount of heat, and this heat is dissipated into the surrounding air through the heat dissipation fins of the condenser 1 and the action of the fan 21, thereby indirectly heating the air flowing through the condenser 1, making the temperature of the air blown by the fan 21 higher than the external temperature, accelerating the evaporation of water, increasing the air circulation speed, accelerating the convection and exchange of air in the water vapor, and greatly improving the evaporation effect of water.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: The first water collection structure 31 includes a first water receiving tray 311 and a filter layer 312. The first water receiving tray 311 is fixedly connected to the blowing structure 2. The first water receiving tray 311 is arranged to slope downward from the direction close to the condenser 1 towards the direction away from the condenser 1. The filter layer 312 is arranged on the first water receiving tray 311. A plurality of first drainage holes 3111 are arranged at one end of the first water receiving tray 311 away from the condenser 1. The condensed water in the box drips into the first water receiving tray 311, and the filter layer 312 in the first water receiving tray 311 filters the condensed water, which can effectively remove impurities and particulate matters in the water and reduce the probability of blockage of the first water absorption and evaporation member 321, further improving the evaporation efficiency. Due to the surface tension of water, when the amount of condensed water is small, the condensed water will accumulate on the first water receiving tray 311. After accumulating to a certain amount, the self-weight of the collected condensed water is greater than the surface tension, and it uniformly drips downward through the first drainage holes 3111 to the first evaporation structure 32. In this embodiment, the first water receiving tray 311 is fixedly connected to the wind deflector 22.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: The first evaporation structure 32 includes a first water absorption and evaporation member 321 and a water guiding support 322. The first water absorption and evaporation member 321 is connected to the water guiding support 322, and the water guiding support 322 plays a role in supporting and guiding water, ensuring that the condensed water can smoothly flow into the second water collection structure 33. One end of the water guiding support 322 is fixedly connected to the first water collection structure 31, forming a continuous condensed water transfer path, which is beneficial to the smooth flow of the condensed water. The first water absorption and evaporation member 321 is arranged on the surface of the water guiding support 322 close to the first water collection structure 31. One end of the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 away from the first water collection structure 31 abuts against the second water collection structure 33, improving the efficiency of water collection. In this embodiment, one end of the water guiding support 322 is fixedly connected to the first water receiving tray 311. The condensed water dripping downward through the first drainage holes 3111 falls into the first water absorption and evaporation member 321. After the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 absorbs a certain amount of water and becomes saturated, the water slides along the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 to the second water collection structure 33. The first water absorption and evaporation member 321 is made of a water-absorbing material.

[0038] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: Both the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 and the water guiding support 322 are inclined, so that the surface areas of the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 and the water guiding support 322 are greatly increased, accelerating the evaporation efficiency of the condensed water; at the same time, when the fan 21 is working, it helps to enhance the convection and mixing of air, thereby accelerating the convection and exchange of air in the water vapor.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: The second water collection structure 33 includes a second water receiving tray 331. A plurality of second drain holes 3311 are provided on the second water receiving tray 331. The second water receiving tray 331 is fixedly connected to the blowing structure 2. Similarly, due to the surface tension of water, when the amount of condensed water is small, the condensed water will accumulate on the second water receiving tray 331. After accumulating to a certain amount, the self-weight of the collected condensed water is greater than the tension, and it uniformly drips downward through the second drain holes 3311 to the second evaporation structure 34. In this embodiment, the second water receiving tray 331 is fixedly connected to the wind deflector 22.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: The second evaporation structure 34 includes a second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 and an evaporation bracket 342. The second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 is disposed within the evaporation bracket 342 and fixedly connected to the evaporation bracket 342. The evaporation bracket 342 is fixedly connected to the blowing structure 2. In this embodiment, the condensed water dripping downward through the second drain holes 3311 falls into the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341. After the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 absorbs a certain amount of water and becomes saturated, the water slides along the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 to the third water collection structure 35. The second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 is made of a water-absorbing material. The evaporation bracket 342 is fixedly connected to the wind deflector 22.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: The third water collection structure 35 includes a water receiving box 351 and a heating tube 352. The heating tube 352 is disposed within the water receiving box 351. The water receiving box 351 is disposed below the second evaporation structure 34. The heating tube 352 at high temperature and high pressure accelerates the volatilization of water molecules. When there is condensed water in the water receiving box 351, due to the fine gaps in the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341, through capillary action and the surface tension of water, the water molecules move upward in the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 until the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 is completely penetrated.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water accumulated in the first water receiving tray 311 and the second water receiving tray 331 will continuously flow downward through the first drain holes 3111 and the second drain holes 3311, respectively wetting the first water-absorbing evaporation member 321 and the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 completely. The evaporation amount of water in the fully wet first water-absorbing evaporation member 321 and the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341 reaches the maximum; and the blower 21 blows directly on the first water-absorbing evaporation member 321 and the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341. Due to the large number of fine gaps in the first water-absorbing evaporation member 321 and the second water-absorbing evaporation member 341, the wind pressure in this area is relatively large, which can force the condensed water to evaporate into water molecules and volatilize with the wind.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, it may further have the following additional technical features: A drain nozzle 3511 is provided on the water receiving box 351, which can guide the condensed water to flow out of the water receiving box 351 at the best angle and speed, improving the drainage efficiency and avoiding excessive condensed water in places with high environmental humidity, resulting in overflowing of the water receiving box 351.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 7-8 , this embodiment also provides a refrigeration system, including a compressor 5 and the condensed water assisted evaporation device as described above, and the compressor 5 is connected to the condensed water assisted evaporation device.

[0045] This embodiment also provides a freezer, including the refrigeration system as described above.

[0046] The working principle of the condensed water assisted evaporation device in this embodiment is as follows: First, the condensed water in the refrigeration system is collected by the first water receiving tray 311, flowing from top to bottom, passing through the first water absorption and evaporation member 321, increasing the surface area of the condensed water display. After the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 is in a wet state, the unabsorbed condensed water continues to flow to the second water receiving tray 331, flowing from top to bottom, passing through the second water absorption and evaporation member 341, increasing the surface area of the condensed water display. After the second water absorption and evaporation member 341 is in a wet state, the unabsorbed condensed water continues to flow to the water receiving box 351. Finally, the water receiving box 351 heats the collected condensed water through the relatively high temperature heating tube 352, and the temperature of the collected condensed water rises to warm water. The fan 21 blows the heated outside air towards the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 and the second water absorption and evaporation member 341 through the condenser 1, and the water in the first water absorption and evaporation member 321 and the second water absorption and evaporation member 341 is evaporated. The warm water in the water receiving box 351 can also, through capillary action, flow from bottom to top to supplement the water content evaporated above the second water absorption and evaporation member 341; the condensed water can flow from top to bottom through the water receiving box 351. Since there is not always condensed water flowing into the first water receiving tray 311, when there is no condensed water flowing down, it can also flow from bottom to top through capillary action to supplement the water content evaporated above the second water absorption and evaporation member 341, forming a cycle.

[0047] The condensed water assisted evaporation device in this embodiment is reasonably designed and convenient to use. For other devices with similar usage requirements, the same structure can also be adopted to achieve the purpose. In this embodiment, the condensed water assisted evaporation device, through the common cooperation of the blowing structure 2 and the multi-layer water collection and evaporation assembly 3, by expanding the surface area in contact with the condensed water and increasing the air flow velocity, greatly improves the evaporation rate of the condensed water, can evaporate or discharge the condensed water in a timely and rapid manner, and ensures the normal operation of the entire cooling system.

If the first and second are described, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features or the sequence relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0049] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction between these technical feature combinations, they should be considered to be within the scope described in this specification.
