[0031] The refrigeration equipment 10 is a professional storage tool for storing various frozen goods, which can keep food or other goods in frozen state, and is divided into household and commercial. The refrigeration equipment 10 generally comprises a cabinet 1, a door body 5 and an air duct assembly 2, as shown in Figure 1 The cabinet 1 comprises an outer shell 11 and an inner container 12, the outer shell 11 is formed with a receiving cavity 111, and the inner container 12 is installed in the receiving cavity 111. The inner container 12 is formed with a storage cavity 121, the door body 5 is installed on the cabinet 1 to open or close the storage cavity 121, and the air duct assembly 2 comprises an evaporator 21, which is used for refrigerating the storage cavity 121 to keep food or other goods in frozen state. The air duct assembly 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 111, for example, it can be installed between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12, or the air duct assembly 2 can be installed in the inner container 12. However, when the evaporator 21 is refrigerating, the evaporator 21 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly will produce condensate water.
[0032] In order to receive the condensate water, in the related art, a water pan 22 is usually arranged below the evaporator 21 and below the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly. However, the arrangement of multiple water pans 22 will increase the overall volume of the refrigeration equipment 10. The refrigeration equipment 10 of the present application can receive the condensate water of the evaporator 21 and the condensate water of the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly through the water pan 22, so that the evaporator 21 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly can share the water pan 22. In this way, the number of water pans 22 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall volume of the refrigeration equipment 10, and reducing the cost.
[0033] The present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments:
[0034] The cabinet 1 is formed with a receiving cavity 111, and the air duct assembly 2 is installed in the receiving cavity 111. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air duct assembly 2 comprises an evaporator 21 and a water pan 22, the water pan 22 is located below the evaporator 21, and the water pan 22 is configured to receive the condensate water of the evaporator 21 and the condensate water of the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly.
[0035] It can be understood that when the evaporator 21 is cooling, the moisture in the air will condense into condensed water when it contacts the surface of the evaporator 21 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly. Therefore, when there is condensed water on the evaporator 21, the condensed water will drip into the water receiving tray 22 to collect the condensed water on the evaporator 21, and the condensed water on the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly will also drip into the water receiving tray 22. In this way, the evaporator 21 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly can share the water receiving tray 22, which makes it easy to reduce the number of water receiving trays 22, thereby reducing the overall volume of the refrigeration equipment 10 and reducing costs.
[0036] For example, the refrigeration device 10 is a refrigerator, which includes a box 1. Figure 1 As shown, the box body 1 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner liner 12, and the inner liner 12 is installed in the outer shell 11. Figure 2 As shown, the storage cavity 121 is formed in the inner container 12 , and the air duct assembly 2 is disposed in the storage cavity 121 to separate the storage cavity 121 into a first chamber 1211 and a second chamber 1212 .
[0037] For example, the air duct assembly 2 can be horizontally arranged in the storage chamber 121 to separate the storage chamber 121 into a first chamber 1211 and a second chamber 1212 in the up and down directions, or the air duct assembly 2 can be vertically arranged in the storage chamber 121 to separate the storage chamber 121 into a first chamber 1211 and a second chamber 1212 in the left and right directions, or the air duct assembly 2 can be obliquely placed in the storage chamber 121 to separate the storage chamber 121 into a first chamber 1211 and a second chamber 1212, wherein the capacity of the first chamber 1211 and the capacity of the second chamber 1212 can be the same or different, which is not limited here.
[0038] The air duct assembly 2 is used to supply air to the first chamber 1211 and / or the second chamber 1212. Thus, the air duct assembly 2 can be used to separate the storage chamber 121 into the first chamber 1211 and the second chamber 1212, and the air duct assembly 2 can be used to supply air to the first chamber 1211 and / or the second chamber 1212 to achieve cooling of the first chamber 1211 and / or the second chamber 1212.
[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, the air duct assembly 2 includes an evaporator 21 and a water receiving tray 22, and as shown in FIG. Figure 3As shown, the water pan 22 is located below the evaporator 21, and the water pan 22 is configured to receive the condensed water of the evaporator 21 and the condensed water of the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly. In this way, when there is condensed water on the evaporator 21, the condensed water will drip into the water pan 22 to collect the condensed water on the evaporator 21, and the condensed water on the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly will also drip into the water pan 22, so that the evaporator 21 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly can share the water pan 22, which facilitates reducing the number of water pans 22, thereby reducing the overall volume of the refrigeration equipment 10 and facilitating cost reduction.
[0040] According to the refrigeration equipment 10 of the embodiment of the present application, the water pan 22 can receive the condensed water of the evaporator 21 and the condensed water of the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly, so that the evaporator 21 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly can share the water pan 22, which facilitates reducing the number of water pans 22, thereby reducing the overall volume of the refrigeration equipment 10 and facilitating cost reduction.
[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly is provided with a mounting structure 24 for mounting the slide rail and a water inlet 25, the mounting structure 24 is located above the water inlet 25, and the water inlet 25 is in communication with the water pan 22 and is configured to receive the condensed water of the mounting structure 24.
[0042] It can be understood that in the implementation mode in which the air duct assembly 2 is installed in the inner container 12, the slide rail can be mounted on the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly through the mounting structure 24, and the shelf can be in sliding cooperation with the slide rail to be mounted on the mounting structure 24, so as to reduce the assembly difficulty of the shelf, and food or other articles can be placed on the shelf for storage.
[0043] As shown in Figure 5 As shown, the mounting structure 24 is located above the water inlet 25, so that the condensed water appears on the mounting structure 24, the condensed water enters the water pan 22 from the water inlet 25, so that the water pan 22 has the function of receiving the condensed water of the mounting structure 24, and thus the evaporator 21 and the mounting structure 24 can share the water pan 22, which facilitates reducing the number of water pans 22, thereby reducing the overall volume of the refrigeration equipment 10 and facilitating cost reduction.
[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 As shown, the mounting structure 24 is provided with a flow guide channel 3, the flow guide channel 3 has an inlet 31 and an outlet 32, the inlet 31 is open toward the upper side of the mounting structure 24, and the outlet 32 is used for guiding flow to the water inlet 25.
[0045] Thus, by setting the flow guide channel 3, and the inlet 31 of the flow guide channel 3 is open towards the upper side of the mounting structure 24, so that the condensate water at the mounting structure 24 can enter the flow guide channel 3 along the inlet 31, then flow along the flow guide channel 3, and flow out of the flow guide channel 3 through the outlet 32 and enter the water pan 22 through the water inlet 25.
[0046] In this way, the flow guide channel 3 can guide the flow of condensate water, thereby guiding the flow of condensate water, and enabling the condensate water to flow accurately into the water pan 22, so that the water pan 22 can more easily collect the condensate water of the mounting structure 24, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensate water.
[0047] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The mounting structure 24 is provided with a flow guide surface 241 extending obliquely towards the inlet 31 for guiding the flow towards the inlet 31. Thus, by setting the flow guide surface 241, the condensate water at the mounting structure 24 is guided to flow along the flow guide surface 241 towards the inlet 31 through the flow guide surface 241, and then enters the water pan 22 through the flow guide channel 3, so that the water pan 22 can more easily collect the condensate water of the mounting structure 24, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensate water.
[0048] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 The flow guide surface 241 is provided with a plurality of flow guide surfaces 241 arranged around at least part of the inlet 31 in the circumferential direction. Thus, by setting the plurality of flow guide surfaces 241 arranged around at least part of the inlet 31 in the circumferential direction, the condensate water at the mounting structure 24 is guided to flow along the flow guide surfaces 241 towards the inlet 31 through the plurality of flow guide surfaces 241 arranged around at least part of the inlet 31 in the circumferential direction, and then enters the water pan 22 through the flow guide channel 3, so that the water pan 22 can more easily collect the condensate water of the mounting structure 24, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensate water.
[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The flow guide channel 3 is arranged between the mounting structure 24 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly.
[0050] Thus, the condensate water on the mounting structure 24 and the condensate water of the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly can both enter the water pan 22 through the flow guide channel 3, so as to reduce the difficulty of collecting the condensate water, and the flow guide channel 3 is arranged between the mounting structure 24 and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly, so as to reduce the difficulty of setting the flow guide channel 3.
[0051] For example, a groove can be provided on the mounting structure 24, and the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly can be a plane, so that after the mounting structure 24 is installed on the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly, the groove and the plane will define the flow guide channel 3, so as to reduce the difficulty of setting the flow guide channel 3.
[0052] In some embodiments, the guide channel 3 is arranged in the mounting structure 24 and spaced apart from the side wall 23 of the air duct assembly. In this way, the guide channel 3 can be machined on the mounting structure 24 alone, thereby reducing the difficulty of arranging the guide channel 3.
[0053] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The mounting structure 24 is provided with a plurality of mounting structures 24, which are arranged in the upper portion of the water inlet 25 and spaced apart from each other, and the guide channels 3 of the adjacent two mounting structures 24 are communicated.
[0054] In this way, the condensed water on each mounting structure 24 can enter the water pan 22 through the guide channel 3, and a plurality of shelves can be installed by the plurality of mounting structures 24, thereby dividing the storage cavity 121 into a plurality of chambers to meet the storage needs of the user.
[0055] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 The water pan 22 forms a water storage space, which is open to the evaporator 21 in the first direction X1, and the water inlet 25 is open to the water storage space in the second direction X2, and the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 intersect.
[0056] In this way, the condensed water on the evaporator 21 and the condensed water on the mounting structure 24 enter the water pan 22 in different directions, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the condensed water.
[0057] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air duct assembly 2 further comprises a protective cover 4. The protective cover 4 is located between the evaporator 21 and the water pan 22, and the protective cover 4 is spaced apart from the water pan 22.
[0058] In this way, the protective cover 4 can protect the evaporator 21, and the protective cover 4 can separate the evaporator 21 from the water pan 22 to avoid interference between the evaporator 21 and the water pan 22, and to reduce the influence of the low temperature of the evaporator 21 on the condensed water in the water pan 22.
[0059] It can be understood that the protective cover 4 can also collect the condensed water of the evaporator 21 to a certain extent, wherein the protective cover 4 can be provided with a liquid outlet communicated with the water pan 22, so that the condensed water in the protective cover 4 can flow into the water pan 22 through the liquid outlet, or the protective cover 4 can be a mesh structure, so that the protective cover 4 has a protective effect while not affecting the collection of the condensed water of the evaporator 21 by the water pan 22.
[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the cabinet 1 comprises an outer shell 11 and an inner container 12, the outer shell 11 defines a containing cavity 111, and the inner container 12 is installed in the containing cavity 111, wherein the air duct assembly 2 is installed between the outer shell 11 and the inner container 12, so that the air duct assembly 2 does not occupy the space in the storage cavity 121 of the inner container 12 when realizing the refrigeration of the storage cavity 121 of the inner container 12, so that the structure of the refrigeration equipment 10 is more compact.
[0061] Or the air duct assembly 2 is installed in the inner container 12, so that the air duct assembly 2 can act as a partition when realizing the refrigeration of the storage cavity 121 of the inner container 12, and then the storage cavity 121 is divided into a first cavity 1211 and a second cavity 1212 by the air duct assembly 2 to meet the food storage needs of the user.
