[0036] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1, embodiments of the present application provide a food processing device 100, which is used to assist users in processing food ingredients. The food processing device 100 can be a bread machine. During the process of making bread, the food processing device 100 can stir flour and other raw materials to form a bread embryo. The food processing device 100 can be a blender, which can blend food ingredients and can be used to make fillings such as minced meat and minced vegetables. In this embodiment, the food processing device 100 is an ice cream machine. During the process of making ice cream, the ice cream machine can stir the ice cream stock solution to make the various components in the ice cream stock solution fully blend. After the ice cream stock solution condenses, the ice cream machine continues to stir the condensed ice cream stock solution to make the produced ice cream have a higher fluffiness and a softer taste.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the food processing device 100 includes a housing 10, a mounting bracket 20, a storage container 30, and a refrigeration module 40. The housing 10 has an inner cavity 11. The mounting bracket 20 is arranged in the inner cavity 11. The storage container 30 is used to store the ice cream stock solution. The storage container 30 is arranged in the inner cavity 11 and connected to the mounting bracket 20 to be supported by the mounting bracket 20. The refrigeration module 40 is arranged in the inner cavity 11 and connected to the storage container 30 to be able to transfer cold to the storage container 30 and the ice cream stock solution inside the storage container 30. In this embodiment, the food processing device 100 is arranged on a horizontal application tabletop. The mounting bracket 20 includes a collection plate 21. The collection plate 21 is in a plate-like structure. The collection plate 21 divides the inner cavity 11 into a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112. The first cavity 111 is located above the second cavity 112. The storage container 30 is located in the first cavity 111. At least part of the structure of the refrigeration module 40 is connected to the storage container 30. Therefore, at least part of the structure of the refrigeration module 40 is located in the first cavity 111. In this embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes an electrical appliance module 70. The electrical appliance module 70 can include at least one of electronic and electrical components such as sensors, circuit integration boards, or motors. The electrical appliance module 70 is arranged in the second cavity 112. The electrical appliance module 70 and the storage container 30 are initially separated by the collection plate 21. In an actual application scenario, the refrigeration module 40 transfers cold to the storage container 30. The temperature of the storage container 30 is lower than the temperature of the air. Water vapor in the air condenses on the storage container 30 to form condensed water. The condensed water accumulates and drips onto the collection plate 21 under the action of gravity. The collection plate 21 has a certain capacity to hold the condensed water and can prevent the condensed water from flowing out of the edge of the collection plate 21 and flowing to the electrical appliance module 70.

[0039] The mounting bracket 20 in this embodiment further includes a diversion portion 22. The diversion portion 22 is connected to the side of the collection plate 21 facing the second cavity 112. The diversion portion 22 is provided with a diversion channel 221. One port of the diversion channel 221 is formed on the surface of the collection plate 21 facing the first cavity 111. One end of the diversion channel 221 is connected to the first cavity 111, and the other end is connected to the outside of the housing 10. Therefore, the diversion channel 221 and the second cavity 112 are in a mutually isolated state. In an actual application scenario, the collection plate 21 collects the condensed water dripping from the storage container 30, and then the condensed water flows through the port of the diversion channel 221 into the diversion channel 221 and flows to the outside of the housing 10.

[0040] In summary, in this embodiment, the food processing device 100 includes a housing 10, a mounting bracket 20, a storage container 30, an electrical module 70, and a refrigeration module 40. The housing 10 is provided with an inner cavity 11. The mounting bracket 20 is disposed in the inner cavity 11. The mounting bracket 20 includes a collection plate 21 and a diversion portion 22. The collection plate 21 is used to divide the inner cavity 11 into a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112. The storage container 30 and the electrical module 70 are respectively disposed in the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112. The refrigeration module 40 is disposed on the housing 10. The refrigeration module 40 is located in the inner cavity 11 of the housing 10. The refrigeration module 40 is used to transfer cold to the storage container 30. In an actual application scenario, condensed water is formed on the storage container 30. The diversion portion 22 of the mounting bracket 20 is connected to the side of the collection plate 21 facing the second cavity 112. The diversion portion 22 is provided with a diversion channel 221. The diversion channel 221 and the second cavity 112 are in an isolated state. Specifically, one port of the diversion channel 221 is exposed on the side of the collection plate 21 facing the first cavity 111 so that the port is connected to the first cavity 111. The other end of the diversion channel 221 communicates with the outside of the housing 10. After the condensed water is collected by the collection plate 21, it flows out of the housing 10 through the diversion channel 221. Basically, no condensed water flows through the second cavity 112. In this example, the end of the diversion channel 221 exposed on the side of the collection plate 21 facing the first cavity 111 is chamfered to facilitate the condensed water flowing into the diversion channel 221.

[0041] With the setting in this embodiment, the collection plate 21 of the mounting bracket 20 can generally separate the electrical module 70 from the storage container 30 to prevent condensed water from directly dripping on the electrical module 70. The diversion portion 22 can connect the first cavity 111 and the space outside the housing 10. The diversion channel 221 of the diversion portion 22 is used for the condensed water collected by the collection portion to flow and timely discharge the condensed water out of the housing 10. The diversion channel 221 and the second cavity 112 are in an isolated state, making the inside of the second cavity 112 and the electrical module 70 in a relatively dry state, avoiding high humidity or the presence of condensed water in the second cavity 112 and preventing damage to the electrical module 70.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the refrigeration module 40 includes a compressor 41 and a condenser tube 42. Both ends of the condenser tube 42 are respectively connected to the compressor 41. A refrigerant is stored in the condenser tube 42 and the compressor 41, and the refrigerant circulates in the circulation channel defined by the condenser tube 42 and the compressor 41. The condenser tube 42 is looped around the outer periphery of the storage container 30 to transfer cold to the storage container 30 to condense the ice cream stock solution. In this embodiment, the storage container 30 includes a heat exchange cylinder 31 and an inner liner 32. The heat exchange cylinder 31 is disposed in the first cavity 111 and is relatively spaced apart from the collection plate 21. The inner liner 32 is detachably installed inside the heat exchange cylinder 31. In an actual application scenario, after the ice cream is prepared, the inner barrel can be removed from the housing 10. In this embodiment, the condenser tube 42 is wound around the outer periphery of the heat exchange cylinder 31 to form a plurality of loops surrounding the heat exchange cylinder 31. The cold transferred by the condenser tube 42 passes through the heat exchange cylinder 31 and then is conducted to the inner liner 32 and the ice cream stock solution, avoiding the formation of broken ice due to the condensation of condensed water between the condenser tube 42 and the inner liner 32, and avoiding the bonding of the condenser tube 42 and the inner liner 32 by the broken ice, which affects the removal of the inner liner 32.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the heat exchange cylinder 31 is provided with a flow guiding through hole 3112, and the flow guiding through hole 3112 connects the internal space of the heat exchange cylinder 31 with the first cavity 111. The food processing device 100 in this embodiment is disposed on a horizontal application plane. The heat exchange cylinder 31 is disposed in the first cavity 111 and above the collection plate 21. Therefore, the flow guiding through hole 3112 is above the collection plate 21. In an actual application scenario, condensed water is formed on the outer surface of the inner liner 32 due to the temperature difference. After the condensed water accumulates, it drips into the heat exchange cylinder 31. The condensed water flows out of the heat exchange cylinder 31 through the flow guiding through hole 3112 on the heat exchange cylinder 31 and flows into the first cavity 111, and then drips onto the collection plate 21 under the action of gravity. In this embodiment, the materials of the heat exchange cylinder 31 and the inner liner 32 can be selected as materials with good heat transfer performance. For example, the inner liner 32 can be made of food-grade stainless steel, and the heat exchange cylinder 31 can be made of materials such as copper and stainless steel. With the setting of this embodiment, by providing the flow guiding through hole 3112 on the heat exchange cylinder 31, the condensed water in the heat exchange cylinder 31 can be discharged in time, avoiding the bonding of the heat exchange cylinder 31 and the inner liner 32 due to the condensation of the condensed water into ice, and avoiding the corrosion of the heat exchange cylinder 31 due to the long-term residue of condensed water in the heat exchange cylinder 31. In this example, the end port of the flow guiding through hole 3112 connecting the heat exchange cylinder 31 is chamfered to facilitate the condensed water to flow into the flow guiding through hole 3112.

[0044] In this embodiment, the heat exchange cylinder 31 has a cylindrical structure with a pick-up and placement opening 313, and the pick-up and placement opening 313 is in an exposed state relative to the housing 10. The inner liner 32 is inserted through the housing 10 and is installed into or taken out of the heat exchange cylinder 31 via the pick-up and placement opening 313. In this embodiment, the heat exchange cylinder 31 includes a bottom wall 311, the bottom wall 311 is disposed opposite to the pick-up and placement opening 313, the bottom wall 311 is located on the side of the heat exchange cylinder 31 facing the collection plate 21 and is disposed at a relative interval from the collection plate 21, and a flow guiding through hole 3112 is provided on the bottom wall 311 to facilitate the discharge of condensed water from the heat exchange cylinder 31. In this embodiment, the flow guiding through hole 3112 is approximately located at the middle position of the bottom wall 311. In other embodiments, the central position of the bottom wall 311 is higher than the edge structure of the bottom wall 311, and the flow guiding through hole 3112 can be provided at the edge structure of the bottom wall 311. In this embodiment, a drainage groove 3113 is further provided on the inner surface of the bottom wall 311, the drainage groove 3113 is communicated with the flow guiding through hole 3112, and the drainage groove 3113 can guide the condensed water to the flow guiding through hole 3112. In this example, multiple flow guiding through holes 3112 can be provided so that most of the condensed water can be discharged. Correspondingly, multiple drainage grooves 3113 are also provided and are respectively corresponding to and communicated with the multiple flow guiding through holes 3112.

The food processing device 100 in this embodiment further includes a transmission mechanism 72 and a food processing cutter 73. The food processing cutter 73 is disposed in the inner liner 32. The food processing cutter 73 can process fruits or nuts in the ice cream stock solution to turn them into fruit puree or nut fragments, thereby enhancing the taste of the ice cream. The driving mechanism 71 is disposed in the second cavity 112. One end of the transmission mechanism 72 is drivingly connected to the driving mechanism 71, and the other end is drivingly connected to the food processing cutter 73. In an actual application scenario, the transmission mechanism 72 passes through the rotating shaft through hole 3111 and the inner liner 32 and a part of its structure extends into the inner liner 32 to be drivingly connected to the food processing cutter 73. At the same time, the transmission mechanism 72 also passes through the collection plate 21 and is in sealing cooperation with the collection plate 21. In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 71 can include a pulse motor or a servo motor, the transmission mechanism 72 can include a transmission shaft 722 or a transmission shaft assembly, and the food processing cutter 73 includes an integrated crushing blade or multiple independent blades.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 6, in this embodiment, the heat exchange cylinder 31 further includes a water retaining rib 314. The water retaining rib 314 is connected to the inner surface of the bottom wall 311 and is arranged around the outer periphery of the rotating shaft through hole 3111. The water retaining rib 314 can prevent the condensed water in the heat exchange cylinder 31 from flowing out through the rotating shaft through hole 3111, prevent the condensed water from dripping on the transmission mechanism 72 and flowing on the surface of the transmission mechanism 72 to the driving mechanism 71, and prevent the driving mechanism 71 from being damaged by water. In this embodiment, a sealing ring or a sealing sleeve (not shown in the figure) can also be provided between the transmission mechanism 72 and the rotating shaft through hole 3111.

When the inner container 32 is detachably installed in the heat exchange cylinder 31, the orientation of the opening 3211 of the inner container 32 is the same as the orientation of the access opening 313 of the heat exchange cylinder 31. The food processing device 100 in this embodiment further includes a cover body 93. The cover body 93 is used to seal the access opening 313 and the opening 3211. The cover body 93 is at least sealingly connected to the access opening 313 and the opening 3211, such as by means of a sealing rubber ring and other structures. The bottom of the inner container 32 is disposed opposite to the opening 3211. The transmission mechanism 72 passes through the bottom of the inner container 32 and extends into the inner container 32. The food processing cutter 73 is generally located at the bottom of the inner space of the inner container 32. In this embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes a food stirring cutter 94 and a stirring drive motor 95 (not marked in the figure) that are drivingly connected.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in this embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes a heating module 50. The heating module 50 is arranged on the outer surface of the bottom wall 311. The heating module 50 is used to heat the ice cream stock solution before the refrigeration module 40 works, so as to cooperate with the food processing cutter 73 to make the various components of the ice cream stock solution fully blend. As an example, the ice cream raw materials include fruits, nuts, solidified cream blocks, and gelatin sheets. The heating module 50 can promote the melting of the cream blocks and gelatin sheets. The food processing cutter 73 rotates rapidly to cut the fruits and nuts, and can make the various components of the ice cream stock solution fully blend, so that the fruit grains and nut grains are evenly distributed. In this embodiment, the heating module 50 can include a heating tube or a heating plate, etc.

[0050] In this embodiment, the heat exchange cylinder 31 further includes a drainage baffle 312. The drainage baffle 312 is connected to the outer surface of the bottom wall 311, surrounds the outer periphery of the flow-through hole 3112, and is generally in a tubular structure. The minimum distance between the drainage baffle 312 and the collection plate 21 is less than the minimum distance between the heating module 50 and the collection plate 21. In an actual application scenario, the condensed water flows through the flow-through hole 3112 into the space defined by the drainage baffle 312. The condensed water can adhere to the inner surface of the tubular drainage baffle 312 and flow downward, and then drip from the bottom edge of the drainage baffle 312 onto the collection plate 21. With the setting of this embodiment, the bottom edge of the drainage baffle 312 is lower than the heating module 50, which can prevent the condensed water from dripping onto the heating module 50, avoid damage to the heating module 50 due to water, and prevent the condensed water from being vaporized by the heating module 50, thereby aggravating the humidity of the inner cavity 11. The number of the drainage baffles 312 in this embodiment is the same as and corresponds to the number of the flow-through holes 3112 one by one.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , in this embodiment, the inner tank 32 includes a tank body 321 and a plurality of support feet 322. The tank body 321 is provided with the opening 3211 described above, and the plurality of support feet 322 are connected to the outer surface of the tank body 321. In this embodiment, the plurality of support feet 322 are connected (by welding or threaded connection) to the side of the tank body 321 away from the opening 3211 and are arranged in a spaced-apart manner in sequence around it. When the inner tank 32 is taken out of the heat exchange cylinder 31 and placed on a horizontal application plane, the plurality of support feet 32 can stably support the tank body 321. The number of the support feet 322 in this embodiment is the same as and corresponds to the number of the flow-through holes 3112 one by one. When the inner tank 32 is installed in the heat exchange cylinder 31, each support foot 322 passes through a corresponding flow-through hole 3112, so as to install the inner tank 32 to a specified position, facilitating the detachable transmission cooperation of two coupling members. In this embodiment, the inner tank 32 further includes a plurality of sleeves 323, which are arranged corresponding to the plurality of support feet 322 one by one. Each sleeve 323 is sleeved on the end of a corresponding support foot 322 away from the tank body 321 to prevent the end of the support foot 322 from scratching the user or scratching other structures of the ice cream machine.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 12, in this embodiment, the collection plate 21 includes a disk body 211 and a first water retaining border 212. The disk body 211 is generally in the shape of a flat plate. The first water retaining border 212 is connected to the side of the disk body 211 facing the first cavity 111. The first water retaining border 212 is connected to the periphery of the disk body 211. The first water retaining border 212 and the disk body 211 jointly define a collection groove 2112, which is used to collect the condensed water dripping from the water guiding through hole 3112. In this embodiment, a part of the structure of the electrical appliance module 70 penetrates through the disk body 211, that is, the transmission mechanism 72 (output shaft 721) described above penetrates through the disk body 211, and this part of the structure is in sealed cooperation with the disk body 211 so as to separate the collection groove 2112 from the second cavity 112. In this embodiment, the structure penetrating through the disk body 211 is not limited to the transmission mechanism 72, and can also be a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor, etc. In some other embodiments, the collection plate 21 can be in the shape of a funnel, that is, the central position of the collection plate 21 is recessed in a direction away from the storage container 30 relative to the edge position of the collection plate 21 to define the collection groove 2112.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 14 and Figure 15 , in this embodiment, the disk body 211 is provided with an installation through hole 2111 for the transmission mechanism 72 to pass through. The food processing device 100 in this embodiment further includes a water retaining sleeve 91, which penetrates through the installation through hole 2111 and is in sealed cooperation with the installation through hole 2111. In the vertical direction defined by the horizontal application plane, the height of one end of the water retaining sleeve 91 located in the first cavity 111 is higher than the height of the first water retaining border 212 to prevent the condensed water in the collection groove 2112 from flowing to the second cavity 112 through the installation through hole 2111 and the water retaining sleeve 91. In the actual structure, the transmission mechanism 72 penetrates through the water retaining sleeve 91 and extends into the storage container 30, that is, the output shaft 721 penetrates through the water retaining sleeve 91, and the transmission shaft 722 penetrates through the side of the storage container 30 facing the collection groove 2112 and a part of the shaft section is located outside the storage container 30 to be in transmission connection with the output shaft 721.

[0054] In this embodiment, the collection plate 21 further includes a support portion 23. The support portion 23 is connected to the side of the disk body 211 facing the second cavity 112. The support portion 23 is disposed around the outer periphery of the mounting through hole 2111. Therefore, the support portion 23 in this embodiment has a tubular structure. In this embodiment, one end port of the support portion 23 away from the mounting through hole 2111 extends towards the axis of the support portion 23 to define a mounting step 231. When the water blocking sleeve 91 is installed on the mounting bracket 20, the water blocking sleeve 91 passes through the mounting through hole 2111. A partial pipe section of the water blocking sleeve 91 is embedded in the tubular support portion 23. One end of the water blocking sleeve 91 abuts against the mounting step 231, that is, the end of the water blocking sleeve 91 away from the storage container 30 abuts against the mounting step 231, so that the water blocking sleeve 91 is stably installed on the mounting bracket 20. In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 20 further includes a clamping portion (not shown in the figure). The clamping portion is located inside the tubular support portion 23 and is clamped and connected to the inner peripheral edge of the mounting step 231. The clamping portion, the mounting step 231 and the support portion 23 jointly define an embedding groove. The notch of the embedding groove faces the mounting through hole 2111. Therefore, when the water blocking sleeve 91 is installed on the mounting bracket 20, the end of the water blocking sleeve 91 away from the storage container 3 embeds in the embedding groove and abuts against the mounting step 231, so that the sealing performance between the water blocking sleeve 91 and the disk body 211 is better.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 16 , in this embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes a support member 80 and a fixing member 90. The support member 80 is disposed in the second cavity 112. The fixing member 90 passes through the disk body 211 and is locked to the support member 80. In this embodiment, there are multiple support members 80. Correspondingly, there are also multiple fixing members 90 which are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple support members 80. Each fixing member 90 passes through the disk body 211 and is locked to the corresponding support member 80. The multiple support members 80 are sequentially and spacedly connected to the disk body 211 to stably support the mounting bracket 20 and the storage container 30. In this embodiment, the support member 80 is made of metal material to have greater hardness and strength to sufficiently support the weight of the storage container 30 and overcome the vibration generated during the working state of the food processing device 100. In this embodiment, the fixing member 90 can be a screw, and the screw directly passes through the disk body 211 and is locked to the support member 80. The fixing member 90 can also be a threaded post and a nut. The threaded post passes through the disk body 211 and the support member 80, and the nut is threadedly connected to the threaded post and abuts against the support member 80, so that the connection relationship between the support member 80 and the disk body 211 is more stable.

[0056] In this embodiment, the position where at least one fixing member 90 penetrates the disk body 211 is within the space defined by the first water retaining perimeter 212. That is, when the fixing member 90 connects the support member 80 and the mounting bracket 20, at least part of the structure of the fixing member 90 is located in the collection groove 2112. In this embodiment, the collection plate 21 further includes a second water retaining perimeter 213. The second water retaining perimeter 213 is connected to the side of the disk body 211 facing the first cavity 111. The second water retaining perimeter 213 is disposed around the outer periphery of the fixing member 90, and the first water retaining perimeter 212 is disposed around the outer periphery of the second water retaining perimeter 213. In the direction from the second cavity 112 to the first cavity 111, the size of the second water retaining perimeter 213 is greater than or equal to the size of the first water retaining perimeter 212. That is, in the vertical direction defined by the horizontal application plane, the height of the second water retaining perimeter 213 is higher than the height of the first water retaining perimeter 212, so that the space defined by the second water retaining perimeter 213 is separated from the collection groove 2112, preventing condensed water from entering the space defined by the second water retaining perimeter 213, preventing the condensed water from corroding the fixing member 90, and preventing the condensed water from penetrating into the second cavity 112 through the position where the fixing member 90 penetrates the disk body 211.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 17 , in this embodiment, the food processing device 100 further includes a base 60. The mounting bracket 20 is mounted on the base 60. The base 60 and the housing 10 jointly define a closed inner cavity 11. The second cavity 112 is located between the collection plate 21 of the base 60 and the mounting bracket 20. The base 60 is provided with a mating groove 61 for mating with the diversion portion 22. When the mounting bracket 20 is mounted on the base 60, the diversion portion 22 is embedded in the mating groove 61. That is, the end of the diversion portion 22 away from the first cavity 111 is embedded in the mating groove 61, so that the diversion channel 221 is communicated with the mating groove 61. In this embodiment, the base 60 is partially hollowed out so that the mating groove 61 is communicated with the side of the base 60 facing away from the second cavity 112 (i.e., the inner cavity 11), so that the diversion channel 221 is communicated with the outside. With the arrangement in this embodiment, the condensed water in the collection groove 2112 flows to the outside of the housing 10 through the diversion channel 221 and the mating groove 61, so as to be able to discharge the condensed water from the food processing device 100 in time. In this embodiment, the number of the diversion portions 22 can be multiple, and the number of the mating grooves 61 is the same as the number of the diversion portions 22. The multiple mating grooves 61 and the multiple diversion portions 22 are arranged and fitted correspondingly one by one.

[0058] Next, the flow path of the condensed water in this embodiment is introduced: The refrigeration module 40 operates to transfer cold to the inner liner 32, and condensed water forms on the outer surface of the inner liner 32. The condensed water accumulates and drips onto the heat exchange cylinder 31, and flows out of the heat exchange cylinder 31 through the flow guide holes 3112 and the drainage baffle 312 on the heat exchange cylinder 31 and drips into the collection tank 2112, and then flows out of the food processing device 100 through the diversion channel 221, the mating groove 61, and the hollow position on the base 60.

[0059] This embodiment provides a food processing device 100, which includes a housing 10, a mounting bracket 20, a storage container 30, an electrical module 70, and a refrigeration module 40. The housing 10 has an inner cavity 11, and the mounting bracket 20 is disposed in the inner cavity 11. The mounting bracket 20 includes a collection plate 21 and a diversion portion 22. The collection plate 21 is used to divide the inner cavity 11 into a first cavity 111 and a second cavity 112. The storage container 30 and the electrical module 70 are respectively disposed in the first cavity 111 and the second cavity 112. The refrigeration module 40 is disposed on the housing 10, and the refrigeration module 40 is located in the inner cavity 11 of the housing 10. The refrigeration module 40 is used to transfer cold to the storage container 30. In an actual application scenario, condensed water forms on the storage container 30. The diversion portion 22 of the mounting bracket 20 is connected to the side of the collection plate 21 facing the second cavity 112. The diversion portion 22 is provided with a diversion channel 221. The diversion channel 221 is in an isolated state from the second cavity 112. Specifically, one port of the diversion channel 221 is exposed on the side of the collection plate 21 facing the first cavity 111 so that the port is communicated with the first cavity 111, and the other end of the diversion channel 221 is in communication with the outside of the housing 10. After the condensed water is collected by the collection plate 21, it flows out of the housing 10 through the diversion channel 221, and basically no condensed water flows through the second cavity 112.

[0060] Under the setting of this embodiment, the collection plate 21 of the mounting bracket 20 can generally separate the electrical module 70 from the storage container 30 to prevent condensed water from directly dripping on the electrical module 70. The diversion portion 22 can connect the first cavity 111 and the space outside the housing 10. The diversion channel 221 of the diversion portion 22 is used for the condensed water collected by the collection portion to flow and timely drain the condensed water out of the housing 10. The diversion channel 221 is in an isolated state from the second cavity 112, so that the inside of the second cavity 112 and the electrical module 70 are in a relatively dry state, avoiding high humidity or the presence of condensed water in the second cavity 112 and preventing damage to the electrical module 70.
