Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air curtain cabinets, and particularly relates to an anti-condensation side plate structure and an air curtain cabinet including the same. Background Art

[0002] An air curtain cabinet is a common commercial refrigerated display device, which is widely used in places such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and restaurants for displaying and storing commodities such as food and beverages. The air curtain cabinet forms an air curtain layer inside the cabinet body to keep the temperature inside the cabinet stable, while preventing cold air from leaking out and external hot air from entering.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the usage environment of the air curtain cabinet is complex and changeable. Especially in an environment with high humidity or poor ventilation conditions, the side plates of the air curtain cabinet are prone to condensation due to temperature differences. The side plates are generally installed on the columns of the air curtain cabinet, and a water collection area for collecting condensation is provided inside the columns. The water collection area can collect the condensation generated inside the air curtain cabinet and discharge it through a drain pipe. However, the condensation generated on the outer side of the side plate still forms water droplets on the surface of the side plate; especially the upper side plate of the air curtain cabinet, which is made of glass. The condensation will affect the beauty and service life of the cabinet body. Moreover, when the condensation water droplets accumulate to a certain extent, they will drip onto the ground, causing the ground to be slippery, affecting the hygiene of the store, reducing the customer experience, and even possibly causing safety accidents such as customer slips.

[0004] Therefore, how to prevent the water droplets generated by condensation in the air curtain cabinet from falling to the ground and causing the ground to be slippery is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved at present. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides an anti-condensation side plate structure and an air curtain cabinet including the same. By installing a lower side plate and a water trough below the upper side plate, the condensation generated on the upper side plate can be effectively collected and drained into the water collection area, avoiding the condensation water droplets from falling to the ground and preventing the ground from being slippery.

[0006] The utility model provides an anti-condensation side plate structure, including:

Through the arrangement of the inclined surface in this technical solution, the liquid on the top of the lower side plate is effectively drained to the water tank, preventing the liquid from accumulating on the top of the lower side plate and reducing the formation of condensation water droplets.

[0013] In some of these embodiments, the inclined surface is provided with an opening, and the opening is arranged on the inclined surface above the water tank for guiding the liquid on the top of the inclined surface to smoothly flow into the water tank. Through the arrangement of the opening on the inclined surface in this technical solution, the liquid on the top of the inclined surface can be guided to smoothly flow into the water tank, further improving the efficiency of liquid drainage and ensuring that the condensation water droplets do not remain on the inclined surface.

[0014] In some of these embodiments, the inside of the lower side plate is filled with heat-insulating material. Through the filling of the heat-insulating material in this technical solution, the external air can be effectively isolated from the upright column, reducing the temperature difference and the formation of condensation, while improving the heat-insulating performance and energy-saving effect of the air curtain cabinet.

[0015] In some of these embodiments, a protective layer is sprayed on the surface of the water tank. Through the arrangement of the protective layer in this technical solution, the water tank can be prevented from being corroded due to long-term contact with liquid, extending the service life of the water tank and maintaining its good drainage performance.

[0016] In addition, the present utility model also provides an air curtain cabinet, which includes the above anti-condensation side plate structure and also includes an upright column for installing the upper side plate and the lower side plate. This technical solution can effectively prevent the condensation water droplets from falling to the ground, improving the aesthetics and service life of the air curtain cabinet, and at the same time improving the hygiene environment of the store and the use experience of customers.

[0017] In some of these embodiments, a water collection area is provided at the bottom side inside the upright column, and the water collection area is used for collecting the condensation generated inside the air curtain cabinet and the condensation drained by the water tank. Through the arrangement of the water collection area in this technical solution, the condensation generated inside the air curtain cabinet and the condensation drained by the water tank can be collected, preventing the condensation water droplets from overflowing, keeping the inside of the cabinet dry, and improving the overall performance and reliability of the air curtain cabinet.

[0018] In some of these embodiments, the air curtain cabinet further includes a drain pipe that communicates with the water collection area. With the arrangement of the drain pipe in this technical solution, the collected condensed water can be smoothly discharged, preventing water accumulation in the water collection area, ensuring the normal operation of the air curtain cabinet, and further enhancing its service life and maintenance convenience.

[0019] Based on the above solution, in the anti-condensation side plate structure and the air curtain cabinet including the same in the embodiments of the present utility model, by installing the lower side plate and the water tank below the upper side plate, the condensation generated on the upper side plate can be effectively collected and drained into the water collection area, avoiding the condensation water droplets from falling to the ground, preventing the ground from being slippery, improving the hygiene environment of the store and the usage experience of customers; at the same time, avoiding the formation of water droplets by the condensation on the upper side plate made of glass material, and keeping the cabinet clean and beautiful.
