Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of refrigerators, and in particular to a structure combining a self-evaporating pipe and a water bucket for pouring water. Background Art

[0002] With the accelerating pace of modern life and rising demands for food quality, refrigeration technology plays a crucial role in food preservation, storage, and display. Traditional food storage methods are often limited by unstable temperature control and limited preservation effectiveness, making them unable to meet the high demands of modern retail and catering industries for food freshness, safety, and presentation. Refrigerated cabinets integrate advanced refrigeration systems, temperature control technologies, and insulation materials to precisely control and maintain stable temperatures within the cabinet, effectively slowing microbial growth and nutrient loss in food, significantly extending the shelf life of food. Furthermore, the open or transparent glass door design of refrigerators not only enhances the display of goods, but also facilitates browsing and purchasing, enhancing the shopping experience. With growing awareness of energy conservation and environmental protection, modern refrigerator designs are also placing greater emphasis on energy conservation and consumption reduction. Energy consumption has been effectively reduced through the use of high-efficiency compressors, optimized refrigeration cycles, and intelligent temperature control systems.

[0003] Existing refrigerator condensers inevitably generate condensate during operation. This condensate originates from the condensation of water vapor on the surface of the refrigerator's evaporator in low-temperature environments. Liquid droplets then drip into a collection device. If this condensate isn't cleaned and drained promptly, it can seep into the refrigerator's bottom structure, corroding circuit boards and mechanical components, affecting the equipment's stable operation and even shortening its service life. Therefore, how to efficiently clean this condensate while saving energy has become a technical challenge for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

The mounting bracket 4 is a double-layer structure, the upper layer of which is provided with a water trough 401 with an open top, and the coil 5 is arranged in the water trough 401 for evaporating accumulated liquid. The lower layer is provided with a water collecting bucket 6, and a drain pipe 402 is provided at the upper end of the water trough 401. The drain pipe 402 is connected to the water inlet 601 of the water collecting bucket 6.

In this structure, the coil 5 is installed at the bottom of the water trough 401 through a connecting block, and the coil 5 is evenly wound and arranged along the bottom of the trough at equal distances.

[0036] The specific implementation process is as follows: the liquid generated by condensation in the refrigerator is collected in the water tank 401; when the condenser 2 is in operation, the compressor 3 sends the hot gas into the condenser 2 through the coil 5. In this process, the heat of the gas is transferred to the accumulated liquid in the water tank 401 through the coil 5; the heat in the coil 5 heats and evaporates the accumulated liquid in the water tank 401, thereby achieving natural cleaning of the accumulated liquid.

[0037] Example 2

The mounting bracket 4, the water collecting bucket 6, the condenser 2 and the compressor 3 are all integrated on the mounting base 7. In this structure, a first slide rail seat 101 is provided on the hollow bottom frame 1, and the mounting base 7 is slidably connected to the first slide rail seat 101. When maintenance is required, the mounting base 7 can be directly pulled out along the first slide rail seat 101 for maintenance and maintenance.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 Based on Example 1, this embodiment also discloses a structure combining water pouring from an evaporation tube and a bucket. A second slide rail seat 403 is provided on the lower layer of the mounting bracket 4, and the water collecting bucket 6 is slidably connected to the second slide rail seat 403. A limiting baffle 404 is provided at the end of the second slide rail seat 403 for abutting against the end of the limiting water collecting bucket 6. By setting the second slide rail seat 403, the water collecting bucket 6 can be pulled out and replaced. A handle 602 is provided on the side of the water collecting bucket 6. The end of the drain pipe 402 is vertically arranged, and it corresponds vertically to the water inlet 601. In this structure, a gravity sensor can be arranged at the bottom of the lower layer of the mounting bracket 4 and connected to an alarm. When the accumulated liquid in the water collecting bucket 6 reaches a certain value, an alarm reminder is triggered.

[0041] The specific implementation process is: push the water collecting bucket 6 into the second slide rail seat 403 along the second slide rail seat 403, and its end abuts the limit baffle 404; in this state, the end of the drain pipe 402 corresponds vertically to the water inlet 601, and the accumulated liquid overflowing from the water trough 401 can directly fall into the water collecting bucket 6; when the accumulated liquid in the water collecting bucket 6 reaches a certain mass, the water collecting bucket 6 is pulled out for replacement.
