A water storage space for storing condensate is formed in the water trough assembly 10. Condensate discharged from the evaporator communicates with the water storage space through the water inlet 30 on the top cover 20, and the condensate in the water storage space is discharged out of the water trough assembly 10 through the bottom drain outlet 40. The length of the water trough assembly 10 in the drainage structure 100 for evaporator condensate provided by the present invention can be adjusted according to the number of evaporators to meet the needs of different usage scenarios. The drainage structure 100 for evaporator condensate provided by the present invention is connected to the bottom of multiple evaporators by utilizing a water receiving trough assembly 10, and the condensate of the evaporator is introduced into the water receiving trough through multiple water inlets 30 arranged on the top of the water receiving trough assembly 10, and then discharged to the outside of the cabinet through the water outlet of the water receiving trough assembly 10, so that the drainage of the condensate of the evaporator is changed from dispersed drainage to centralized drainage, thereby effectively improving the drainage efficiency and avoiding the problem of poor drainage and water accumulation due to deformation of the drainage hose. In addition, by utilizing the water receiving trough assembly 10, the amount of drainage pipes can be effectively reduced, the working hours and costs can be reduced, and the problem of too many drainage pipes causing the interior of the cabinet to appear messy can be avoided.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the water collecting tank assembly 10 comprises a water tank body 11 and a mounting seat 12, and a mounting space for mounting the water tank body 11 is formed in the mounting seat 12. In the embodiment provided in the utility model, the water tank body 11 serves as a body for storing and guiding water, and the outer sides of the water tank body 11 and the mounting seat 12 are covered with PE thermal insulation cotton, so that condensate water is effectively prevented from being generated outside the water collecting tank assembly 10, and the internal environment of the cabinet is kept dry. The condensate water drainage structure 100 of the evaporator further comprises a mounting bracket 50 for mounting the water collecting tank assembly 10 in the cabinet, the mounting bracket 50 is provided with a first fixing hole 51 through which a locking piece is inserted, and in the embodiment provided in the utility model, the first fixing hole 51 is a waist-shaped hole. By setting the first fixing hole 51 as a waist-shaped hole, the relative position between the mounting bracket 50 and the mounting seat 12 in the water collecting tank assembly 10 can be effectively adjusted, so that the height of the mounting seat 12 and the water tank body 11 is adjusted in real time according to the height difference of the water collecting tray at the bottom of the evaporator, and then the water collecting tray at the bottom of the evaporator is ensured to be communicated with the water inlet 30 on the water collecting tank assembly 10, the condensate water is ensured to be stored in the water collecting tank assembly 10 through the water inlet 30, and the condensate water is prevented from flowing out from between the evaporator and the water collecting tank assembly 10.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the water tank body 11 and the mounting seat 12 of the water collecting tank assembly 10 are respectively provided with a second fixing hole 111 and a third fixing hole 121, the locking piece is inserted through the first fixing hole 51, the second fixing hole 111 and the third fixing hole 121 and locked in the cabinet, so that the water collecting tank assembly 10 is fixedly connected with the cabinet. After the relative position between the mounting bracket 50 and the mounting seat 12 in the water collecting tank assembly 10 is adjusted and the water collecting tray at the bottom of the evaporator is ensured to be communicated with the water inlet 30 on the water collecting tank assembly 10, the stability of the water collecting tank assembly 10 mounted in the cabinet can be effectively ensured by inserting the locking piece such as a bolt, a stud and a pin through the second fixing hole 111 and the third fixing hole 121 on the water tank body 11 and the mounting seat 12 and the first fixing hole 51 on the mounting bracket 50 and locking them in the cabinet, so that the loosening of the water collecting tank assembly 10 is effectively avoided.

In the embodiments provided in the present application, the drain port 40 is welded and fixed to the bottom of the mounting seat 12 of the water tank assembly 10, so as to effectively ensure the stability of the fixed connection between the drain port 40 and the mounting seat 12 of the water tank assembly 10. In addition, only the drain elbow 60 needs to be externally connected with the drain port 40, so that the condensed water in the water tank assembly 10 can be drained to a specified position through the drain port 40, thereby further avoiding the problem that too many drain pipes make the internal of the cabinet appear disorderly. And through the connecting groove provided on the drain port 40, the stability of the connection between the drain port 40 and the drain elbow 60 can be effectively ensured, and the operation of installing the drain elbow 60 on the drain port 40 is simplified, and the installation efficiency is improved.
