[0027] Embodiment

[0028] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 For an embodiment of the utility model, a direct-cooling refrigerator water pan assembly is provided, comprising: a water receiving unit 100 and a processing unit 200;

[0029] The water receiving unit 100 includes a water pan 101 and two sliders 102 slidingly arranged on the inner wall of the water pan 101, the opposite surfaces of the two sliders 102 are fixedly connected with protrusions 103 respectively, the bottom of the two sliders 102 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped plate 104, the side wall of the arc-shaped plate 104 is in contact with the inner wall of the water pan 101, and the two sides of the arc-shaped plate 104 away from the sliders 102 are provided with notches 105.

[0030] The processing unit 200 includes an exhaust port 201 arranged on one side of the water pan 101, one side of the water pan 101 is fixedly connected with an exhaust cover 202 in communication with the exhaust port 201, the end of the exhaust cover 202 away from the water pan 101 is arranged with an opening inclined downward, the outer wall of the water pan 101 is fixedly sleeved with a copper frame 203, and the processing unit 200 further includes an air inlet assembly 204 for assisting the evaporation of condensed water.

[0031] The evaporator is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the refrigerator, the back of the refrigerator is provided with a detachable cover plate for overhauling the evaporator and other parts, the water pan 101 is placed below the evaporator and is used for collecting condensed water, the cover plate is provided with a slot for heat dissipation, so that air can circulate in the refrigerator, the water pan 101 is placed below the evaporator of the refrigerator to collect condensed water, the arc-shaped plate 104 can be installed into the water pan 101 through the slider 102, the arc-shaped plate 104 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the water pan 101 leave a space for storing condensed water, and the two ends of the arc-shaped plate 104 are bent downward, when the condensed water drops on the upper surface of the arc-shaped plate 104, the falling impact force of the condensed water is dispersed by the arc shape of the arc-shaped plate 104, so that the condensed water droplets flow downward along the arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 104;

[0032] Thus, the condensed water can be prevented from directly dropping into the water pan 101, so that the condensed water cannot be scattered and splashed to other parts due to impact force. The condensed water on the arc-shaped plate 104 can enter the bottom of the inner cavity of the water pan 101 through the two gaps 105. The protrusions 103 protrude from one side of the sliding block 102. The two protrusions 103 can facilitate the user to install or remove the arc-shaped plate 104 from the water pan 101. The copper frame 203 can absorb the heat generated by the operation of the compressor and the condenser and the like. The heat can be transmitted to the water pan 101 through the copper frame 203, so as to accelerate the evaporation of the condensed water.

[0033] The opening of the exhaust cover 202 is close to the side of the cover plate facing the refrigerator. The port of the exhaust cover 202 is downwardly inclined. When the air passes through the cover plate, it is difficult for the air to enter the exhaust cover 202. The water vapor evaporated in the water pan 101 floats upward from bottom to top. The opening at the top of the water pan 101 is blocked by the arc-shaped plate 104, and the width of the gap 105 is relatively narrow, so that a large amount of water vapor passes through the exhaust port 201 and is discharged through the exhaust cover 202. The water vapor can be blown to the direction of the cover plate through the exhaust cover 202, so that the water vapor passes through the cover plate and floats upward. Thus, the evaporated condensed water can be prevented from directly floating upward and contacting the equipment, so as to avoid the short circuit of the equipment.

[0034] Specifically, the air inlet assembly 204 includes two sliding plates 2041 slidingly arranged on the inner wall of the water pan 101. One side of each of the two sliding plates 2041 is fixedly connected with an air inlet cover 2042. The inner wall of each of the two air inlet covers 2042 is fixedly connected with a plurality of inclined baffles 2043. The plurality of baffles 2043 located in the air inlet cover 2042 are staggered.

[0035] The two air inlet covers 2042 are installed in the water pan 101 through the sliding plates 2041. The bottom ends of the two air inlet covers 2042 are located above the two gaps 105, respectively. The bottom end of the air inlet cover 2042 is spaced apart from the upper side of the gap 105. The openings at the top of the two air inlet covers 2042 are also close to the side of the cover plate facing the refrigerator. Thus, a large amount of air can enter the air inlet cover 2042, so that the air inlet cover 2042 can deliver the air to the water pan 101, and accelerate the water vapor to be discharged through the exhaust cover 202. The plurality of baffles 2043 located at one end of the air inlet cover 2042 are downwardly inclined. Thus, the air can flow downwardly to the water pan 101. When the water vapor floats upward to the air inlet cover 2042, the water vapor is blocked by the baffles 2043 and condenses on the baffles 2043. When a certain amount of water vapor condenses, it automatically drops into the water pan 101. Thus, the water vapor can be prevented from floating from the gap 105, and further prevented from contacting the equipment.

[0036] In addition, the inner wall of the water pan 101 is slidingly provided with two symmetrical filter frames 205, and the two filter frames 205 are respectively located below the two air inlet covers 2042.

[0037] In a long period of static, the surface of the arc-shaped plate 104 will be attached with a layer of dust. When the condensed water on the arc-shaped plate 104 drips from the gap 105 to the water pan 101, the condensed water will carry into the filter frame 205. The filter frame 205 can filter the dust and the agglomerated impurities, so that the impurities are retained in the filter frame 205. Thus, the problem that a large amount of impurities is mixed with the condensed water at the bottom of the water pan 101 can be avoided, and the problem that the condensed water is deteriorated and emits odor can be reduced.

[0038] Further, the bottom of the inner wall of the water pan 101 is provided with a deodorizing box 206, the top of the deodorizing box 206 is fixedly connected with a sealing disc 207 through bolts, the bottom of the inner wall of the water pan 101 is provided with a circular groove 208 matching the deodorizing box 206, and the deodorizing box 206 is slidingly arranged in the circular groove 208.

[0039] The deodorizing box 206 can be placed with activated carbon and other deodorizing materials. The sealing disc 207 can be fixed on the top of the deodorizing box 206 through bolts to prevent the activated carbon from spilling out of the deodorizing box 206. The outer wall of the deodorizing box 206 and the top of the sealing disc 207 are both provided with a plurality of circular holes. The condensed water passes through the circular holes and contacts with the activated carbon. Thus, the activated carbon can be used to inhibit the odor in the water pan 101, so as to improve the comfort of the user.

[0040] The circular groove 208 is located at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the water pan 101. The circular groove 208 is used to limit the position of the deodorizing box 206 so that the deodorizing box 206 is located at the center of the inner part of the water pan 101. When the refrigerator operates and generates vibration, the deodorizing box 206 can be prevented from moving to the corner of the water pan 101 by the circular groove 208. The circular groove 208 can ensure that the activated carbon can deodorize to the maximum extent.

[0041] Further, the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 104 is fixedly connected with a plurality of uniformly distributed tapered rods 106, and the bottom end of each tapered rod 106 is provided in a spherical shape.

[0042] When the condensed water evaporates, part of the water vapor will condense on the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 104. The tapered rod 106 can guide the water vapor condensed on the arc-shaped plate 104 to flow to the tapered rod 106. The tapered rod 106 is in the shape of an inverted cone, so that the water vapor can flow downward along the tapered rod 106. When the water vapor flows to the spherical end at the bottom of the tapered rod 106, the water vapor condenses on the spherical end, so that the water vapor stays in the air. In this way, the water vapor can be fully contacted with the air, and the evaporation of the water vapor can be accelerated, so as to prevent the condensed water in the water pan 101 from overflowing.

[0043] In use, the deodorizing box 206 is placed in the active carbon and other deodorizing materials, then the sealing disc 207 is fixed on the top of the deodorizing box 206 through the bolt, then the deodorizing box 206 is placed on the circular groove 208, then the two filter frames 205 are slidably installed on the two sides of the inner wall of the water receiving tray 101, then the arc-shaped plate 104 is slidably installed in the water receiving tray 101 by the sliding block 102, then the two air inlet covers 2042 are installed in the water receiving tray 101 through the two sliding plates 2041 in sequence, finally the water receiving tray 101 is fixed on the bottom of the inner cavity of the refrigerator, when the condensed water drops on the upper surface of the arc-shaped plate 104, the condensed water on the arc-shaped plate 104 enters the bottom of the inner cavity of the water receiving tray 101 through the two gaps 105, the filter frame 205 can filter the condensed water, the copper frame 203 can absorb heat and accelerate the evaporation of the condensed water;

[0044] The air inlet cover 2042 can deliver air to the water receiving tray 101 and further accelerate the evaporation of the water vapor, part of the evaporated water vapor condenses on the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 104, the water vapor on the arc-shaped plate 104 is guided by the tapered rod 106 to condense in the air, so that the water vapor fully contacts with the air and the evaporation of the water vapor is accelerated again, then the evaporated water vapor passes through the exhaust port 201 and is discharged through the exhaust cover 202, the exhaust cover 202 can blow the water vapor to the direction of the cover plate, so that the water vapor passes through the cover plate and floats upward, thereby preventing the evaporated condensed water from directly floating upward and contacting with the equipment, so that the short circuit of the equipment is avoided.
