Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water-receiving structure for a tea cabinet, which belongs to the technical field of tea cabinets. Background Technology
[0002] Existing tea cabinets typically consist of a cabinet body, an inner liner, an evaporator, and an air duct. The air duct is located at the rear inner part of the inner liner. The evaporator is situated within the air duct. The evaporator operates during cooling and requires defrosting during non-cooling operation. During defrosting, condensation on the evaporator surface drips downwards. For particularly tall cabinets, the inner liner is also quite tall. Since the evaporator is also located at a high point in the air duct, the condensation dripping from the evaporator during defrosting will splash up after reaching the bottom of the air duct, then seep through the vents in the air duct panel into the inner liner and fall onto the inner liner's baffle. This is detrimental to the preservation of the tea stored inside. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water receiving structure for a tea cabinet, which can prevent condensation from splashing into the inner liner and thus prevent the tea inside the liner from being affected.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments.
[0026] Example 1: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a water collection structure for a tea cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, an inner liner 2, an evaporator 3, and an air duct. The air duct is located at the rear of the inner liner 2. The evaporator 3 is located above the air duct. A vent 41 is provided at the lower part of the air duct at the air duct plate 4, and the vent communicates with the inner liner. A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the air duct. A first water collection trough 5, a second water collection trough 6, and a water collection box 7 are located within the air duct. The first water collection trough 5 and the second water collection trough 6 are located below the evaporator 3. The water collection box 7 is located below the first and second water collection troughs. The first water collection trough 5 is connected to the upper end of a first water collection pipe 51, and the lower end of the first water collection pipe 51 guides the water in the first water collection trough to the water collection box. The second water collection trough 6 is connected to the upper end of a second water collection pipe 61, and the lower end of the second water collection pipe 61 guides the water in the second water collection trough to the water collection box 7. The lower end of the water receiving box is connected to the upper end of the water receiving box water pipe 71, and the lower end of the water receiving box water pipe 71 extends to the bottom of the air duct.
[0027] Working principle: During defrosting, water dripping from the evaporator falls from a height into the first water tank 5 and the second water collection tank 6. It then flows through the first and second water collection pipes to the water collection box, and finally through the water collection box pipes to the bottom of the air duct. This structure, in a tall cabinet, prevents water from splashing into the inner liner or falling onto the baffle 101, thus preventing the tea inside the inner liner from being affected.
[0028] Multiple components are used to segment the water inlet. Each water inlet (first water tank 5, second water tank 6, and water box) is separate and independent, not connected together, so that the air circulation in the duct is unobstructed.
[0029] The tea leaves at the bottom of the air duct will splash up and enter the inner liner through the vents in the air duct panel, eventually falling onto the baffle inside the inner liner. This is detrimental to the preservation of the tea inside the liner.
[0030] Example 2: The feature of this example is that the first water receiving tank 5 is placed at an angle. This structure facilitates water collection, allowing the water to flow smoothly and be collected.
[0031] The second water receiving tank 6 is placed at an angle. This structure facilitates water collection, allowing the water to flow smoothly and be collected.
[0032] Example 3: The feature of this example is that there is a gap between the first water receiving tank 5 and the second water receiving tank 6. This provides sufficient space between the two components to facilitate ventilation within the air duct.
[0033] Example 4: Figure 3 As shown, the feature of this example is that the lower end of the first water receiving tank has a bend 52, and the upper end of the first water receiving pipe 51 is connected to the first water receiving tank at the bottom of the bend. The lower end of the second water receiving tank 61 has a bend 62, and the upper end of the second water receiving pipe is connected to the second water receiving tank at the bottom of the bend. Each bend is placed horizontally, which facilitates water collection at that location.
[0034] Example 5: Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the feature of this example is that the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe are connected to the inner wall of the air duct through corresponding water inlet pipe clamps 8. This structure facilitates connection and installation.
[0035] The first water inlet pipe and the first water inlet tank can be detachably connected. The second water inlet pipe and the second water inlet tank can also be detachably connected. This structure facilitates connection and installation.
[0036] The water pipe 71 is detachably connected to the water receiving box. This structure makes connection and installation convenient.
[0037] Example 6: As Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the features of this example are that the first water receiving tank 5 is placed at an angle, the second water receiving tank 6 is placed at an angle, the lower end of the first water receiving tank is closer to the middle of the inner tank than the upper end of the first water receiving tank, and the lower end of the second water receiving tank is closer to the middle of the inner tank than the upper end of the second water receiving tank.
[0038] The water collection box 7 is located at the lower end of the first water collection tank and directly below the lower end of the second water collection tank. In this structure, in addition to collecting the water flowing down from the first and second water collection tanks, the water collection box, by its own position, catches the water dripping from the evaporator and passing through the gap between the first and second water collection tanks, preventing defrosting water from falling directly into the bottom of the air duct through the gap between the first and second water collection tanks and preventing water splashing.
[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
