In addition, the skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the present application and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0063] The following will be described in combination with Figures 1 to 14 The condensate water collecting assembly 1, the air duct structure and the refrigeration equipment of the present application are described. The condensate water collecting assembly 1 in the present application is mainly used for collecting condensate water in the refrigeration equipment. The condensate water collecting assembly 1 is provided in the air duct structure, and the refrigeration equipment in the present application is applied as a refrigerator, but it should be understood that the refrigeration equipment of the present application can also be applied as a freezer or any other suitable equipment.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, as Figures 1 to 6 shown, the condensate water collecting assembly 1 is applied to a refrigeration equipment (generally a refrigerator), and the refrigeration equipment is provided with an evaporator assembly 3. The condensate water collecting assembly 1 comprises a water collecting mechanism 11 and a fixed side plate 12. The water collecting mechanism 11 is formed with a water collecting groove 111 adapted to collect condensate water in the refrigeration equipment, and a guide 112 is formed on the side wall outside the water collecting groove 111. The outer side of the fixed side plate 12 is used to connect with the refrigeration equipment, and the inner side of the fixed side plate 12 is formed with a guide groove 121 for sliding of the guide 112, and a limiting piece 122 is arranged in the guide groove 121. When the guide 112 slides in the guide groove 121 to contact the limiting piece 122, the guide 112 is fixed in the guide groove 121 by the limiting piece 122, so that the water collecting mechanism 11 is connected to the refrigeration equipment through the fixed side plate 12.

[0065] In this embodiment, the outer side of the fixed side plate 12 is aligned and connected with the predetermined position of the refrigeration equipment (refrigerator). Generally, screws or other fasteners can be used to firmly install the fixed side plate 12 on the inner wall of the refrigerator or the designated mounting point.

[0066] When it is necessary to set the condensed water collecting assembly 1 (water receiving mechanism 11) in the refrigerator, the guide 112 of the water receiving mechanism 11 is aligned with the guide groove 121 on the inner side of the fixed side plate 12. Then, the water receiving mechanism 11 is gently pushed or slid, so that the guide 112 of the water receiving mechanism 11 slides along the guide groove 121 until it reaches the predetermined mounting position. When the guide 112 slides in the guide groove 121 to contact the limiting piece 122, the water receiving mechanism 11 has reached the correct mounting position at this time. At this time, the limiting piece 122 fixes the guide 112 in the guide groove 121, thereby ensuring that the water receiving mechanism 11 is stably connected to the refrigeration equipment.

[0067] When it is necessary to remove the condensed water collecting assembly 1 (water receiving mechanism 11) from the refrigerator, the limiting piece 122 can be separated from the guide 112, and the water receiving mechanism 11 can be pushed or pulled so that the guide 112 of the water receiving mechanism 11 slides in the opposite direction along the guide groove 121 until it is completely slid out of the guide groove 121. When the water receiving mechanism 11 is completely slid out of the guide groove 121, it can be completely separated from the fixed side plate 12.

[0068] During installation and removal, it is necessary to carefully check whether each part of the condensed water collecting assembly 1 is damaged or worn. If necessary, it can be replaced or repaired.

[0069] According to the condensed water collecting assembly 1 of the present application, the sliding design of the guide 112 and the guide groove 121 allows fine adjustment during installation, ensuring that the water receiving mechanism 11 can be accurately and stably connected to the refrigeration equipment, and achieving quick and easy connection of the water receiving mechanism 11 to the refrigeration equipment.

[0070] It should be noted that the limiting piece 122 can be a clasp, which is generally elastic and can be opened and closed so as to securely hold the guide 112 when it is slid into place, and can be separated from the guide 112 as needed. The guide 112 can be a boss, which protrudes from the side wall of the water receiving mechanism 11 and matches the shape of the guide groove 121. The boss allows the water receiving mechanism 11 to smoothly slide along the guide groove 121 until the clasp securely fixes it in place.

[0071] When it is necessary to fix the water receiving mechanism 11 to the refrigeration equipment, first, install the fixing side plate 12 in the predetermined position inside the refrigerator. Ensure that the hook is in the open position so that the boss can slide smoothly into the guide groove 121. Align the boss of the water receiving mechanism 11 with the guide groove 121 and gently push or pull the water receiving mechanism 11 to slide it along the guide groove 121. When the boss slides to the position of the hook, the hook will automatically close, firmly locking the boss in place, thereby fixing the water receiving mechanism 11.

[0072] When it is necessary to remove the water receiving mechanism 11 from the refrigeration equipment, first open the hook. After the hook is open, you can start moving the water receiving mechanism 11. Gently push or pull the water receiving mechanism 11 so that its boss slides in the opposite direction along the guide groove 121. When the boss has completely slid out of the guide groove 121, the water receiving mechanism 11 can be completely separated from the fixed side plate 12.

[0073] To facilitate installation and disassembly, the outer diameter of the guide groove 121 is larger than the inner diameter, and it is commonly referred to as a "conical guide groove 121" or a "flared guide groove 121". This design makes it easier to align and enter the guide groove 121 during sliding. The larger outer diameter provides a wider entry point, reducing alignment difficulties during installation.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, there are two guide members 112, namely a first guide member 1121 and a second guide member 1122. There are two guide grooves 121, namely a first guide groove 1211 for sliding the first guide member 1121 and a second guide groove 1212 for sliding the second guide member 1122; a limiting member 122 is provided in the first guide groove 1211 and / or the second guide groove 1212; when the first guide member 1121 is in the first guide groove 1211 and the second guide member 1122 is in the second guide groove 1212, if the first guide member 1121 and / or the second guide member 1122 contact the limiting member 122, the water receiving mechanism 11 is connected to the fixed side plate 12 through the limiting member 122.

[0075] Specifically, the outer sidewall of the water receiving tray 111 is provided with a first guide member 1121 and a second guide member 1122. Correspondingly, the fixed side plate 12 is provided with a first guide groove 1211 and a second guide groove 1212, and a limiting member 122 is provided in the first guide groove 1211 and / or the second guide groove 1212. The function of the limiting member 122 is to firmly lock the guide member 112 when it slides into place, so as to prevent the water receiving mechanism 11 from moving or shaking inside the refrigerator.

[0076] When it is needed to fix the water receiving mechanism 11 on the refrigeration device, the first guide 1121 of the water receiving mechanism 11 is aligned with the first guide slot 1211, and the second guide 1122 is aligned with the second guide slot 1212. Then, the water receiving mechanism 11 is gently pushed or pulled to slide along the guide slot 121. It is ensured that both the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 slide smoothly. When the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 slide to the position of the limiting piece 122, the limiting piece 122 is automatically closed to firmly clamp the guide 112. At this time, the water receiving mechanism 11 is connected with the fixed side plate 12 through the limiting piece 122.

[0077] When it is needed to remove the water receiving mechanism 11 from the refrigeration device, the limiting piece 122 is opened. After the limiting piece 122 is opened, the water receiving mechanism 11 can be moved. The water receiving mechanism 11 is gently pushed or pulled to reversely slide the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 along the first guide slot 1211 and the second guide slot 1212, respectively. When the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 are completely slid out of the guide slot 121, the water receiving mechanism 11 can be completely separated from the fixed side plate 12.

[0078] The embodiment can effectively ensure the stability of the water receiving mechanism 11 during the fixing and dismounting process by arranging the plurality of guides 112 and the plurality of guide slots 121.

[0079] In order to increase the fixing effect, in some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 6 two first fixed side plates 123 and second fixed side plates 124 are arranged; the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 are arranged on the side walls outside the water receiving groove 111; the first guide slot 1211 and the second guide slot 1212 are arranged on the first fixed side plate 123 and the second fixed side plate 124; the first fixed side plate 123 is detachably connected with one side of the water receiving mechanism 11 through the first guide slot 1211, the second guide slot 1212, and the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 outside one side of the water receiving groove 111; and the second fixed side plate 124 is detachably connected with the other side of the water receiving mechanism 11 through the first guide slot 1211, the second guide slot 1212, and the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 outside the other side of the water receiving groove 111.

[0080] In the embodiment, the first fixed side plate 123 and the second fixed side plate 124 are respectively connected to the left and right sides in the refrigeration device, and the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 are arranged on the left side wall outside the water receiving groove 111, and the first guide 1121 and the second guide 1122 are also arranged on the right side wall outside the water receiving groove 111.

[0081] When it is necessary to fix the water receiving mechanism 11 to the refrigeration equipment, the first guide member 1121 on the left side of the water receiving mechanism 11 is aligned with the first guide groove 1211 on the first fixed side plate 123, and the second guide member 1122 on the left side of the water receiving mechanism 11 is aligned with the second guide groove 1212 on the first fixed side plate 123. The first guide member 1121 on the right side of the water receiving mechanism 11 is aligned with the first guide groove 1211 on the second fixed side plate 124, and the second guide member 1122 on the right side of the water receiving mechanism 11 is aligned with the second guide groove 1212 on the second fixed side plate 124. Then push or pull the water receiving mechanism 11 to make it slide smoothly along the four guide grooves 121. When either the first guide member 1121 or the second guide member 1122 slides to the position of the limiting member 122, the limiting member 122 will automatically close and firmly lock it in place, completing the installation.

[0082] When it is necessary to remove the water receiving mechanism 11 from the refrigeration equipment, open the limiting member 122 to release the fixation on the guide member 112. Gently push or pull the water receiving mechanism 11 to allow it to slide smoothly along the four guide grooves 121 on the left and right. When the two first guide members 1121 and the two second guide members 1122 on both sides of the water receiving mechanism 11 have completely slid out of the corresponding guide grooves 121, the water receiving mechanism 11 can be separated from the first fixed side plate 123 and the second fixed side wall.

[0083] This embodiment further ensures the stability of the water receiving mechanism 11 during the fixing and disassembly process by setting two symmetrical fixed side plates 12 and multiple guide members 112 and multiple guide grooves 121 on both sides.

[0084] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the water receiving mechanism 11 includes: a heating water guide 113 and a water receiving tray 114; a water receiving groove 111 is formed in the water receiving tray 114, at least one side of the water receiving groove 111 is connected to the heating water guide 113, the heating water guide 113 is inclinedly arranged in the water receiving groove 111, the heating water guide 113 is used to heat the condensate in the refrigeration equipment and guide the heated condensate into the water receiving groove 111.

[0085] In this embodiment, the main function of the water receiving tank 111 is to collect condensate. The heating water guide 113 is installed at an angle inside the water receiving tank 111. This design helps the condensate flow naturally to the bottom of the water receiving tank 111 under the action of gravity. The heating water guide 113 has a heating function, which can effectively heat the condensate inside the refrigeration equipment. Heating can prevent the condensate from freezing inside the equipment.

[0086] In actual operation, the condensate water generated inside the refrigeration equipment generally drips on the heating water guide 113. Due to the heating effect of the heating water guide 113, the temperature of the condensate water rises, thereby avoiding the risk of icing. Subsequently, the heated condensate water smoothly flows into the water collecting groove 111 along the inclined heating water guide 113. In the water collecting groove 111, the condensate water can be further treated or discharged, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the refrigeration equipment.

[0087] The water collecting mechanism 11 of the present embodiment effectively solves the problem of processing condensate water inside the refrigeration equipment by adopting the heating water guide 113 and the water collecting disc 114, which not only prevents the condensate water from icing, but also ensures that the condensate water is safely and efficiently collected and discharged.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figs. 1-3, the heating water guide 113 comprises a first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131, a first heating wire 1132, and a second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown in Figs. 1-3, the heating water guide 113 comprises a first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131, a first heating wire 1132, and a second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133. The fixed side plate 12 and / or the water collecting groove 111 is provided with a buckle 115. When the water collecting mechanism 11 is fixed on the fixed side plate 12, the buckle 115 buckles the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133, so that the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133 are buckled to form a mounting cavity, and the first heating wire 1132 is arranged in the mounting cavity.

[0089] In the present embodiment, the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133 can be made of aluminum plates. The buckle 115 is arranged on the corresponding position of the fixed side plate 12 and / or the water collecting groove 111. When the water collecting mechanism 11 is fixed on the fixed side plate 12, the buckle 115 is aligned with the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133, and can buckle the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133, so as to ensure that the two are tightly buckled together to form a closed mounting cavity. The first heating wire 1132 is in the mounting cavity.

[0090] Due to the tight buckling of the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133, the heat generated by the first heating wire 1132 can be uniformly transmitted to the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133, thereby achieving efficient heating and heat conduction effect.

[0091] In actual operation, the condensate water generated inside the refrigeration equipment generally drips onto the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 or the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133. Due to the heating effect of the first heating wire 1132, the temperature of the condensate water on the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 or the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133 will rise, thereby avoiding the risk of icing. Subsequently, these heated condensate water will smoothly flow into the water collecting groove 111 along the inclined first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 or the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133. In the water collecting groove 111, the condensate water can be further treated or discharged, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the refrigeration equipment.

[0092] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the water collecting groove 111 is provided with buckles 115 on both sides, and the buckles 115 on both sides respectively buckle the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133.

[0093] In this embodiment, the water collecting groove 111 is provided with two groups of buckles 115, and each group of buckles 115 respectively buckles the two sides of the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133. Each group of buckles 115 can be provided with multiple buckles according to needs, for example, in this embodiment, each group of buckles 115 is provided with three buckles, and the three buckles on the left side of the water collecting groove 111 are used to buckle the left side of the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133, and the three buckles on the right side of the water collecting groove 111 are used to buckle the right side of the first heat-conducting water guide plate 1131 and the second heat-conducting water guide plate 1133. Through the buckles 115 on both sides and the multiple fixing points in each group of buckles 115, the heating water guide 113 is firmly fixed in the water collecting groove 111, thereby ensuring its stability during operation.

[0094] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 5 , the water collecting mechanism 11 further comprises a second heating wire 116. The second heating wire 116 is arranged on the outer side of the water collecting disc 114 and is used to heat the water collecting disc 114. The main function of the second heating wire 116 is to heat the water collecting disc 114 itself. By increasing the temperature of the water collecting disc 114, the condensate water can be effectively prevented from icing or accumulating on the disc surface, thereby keeping the water collecting disc 114 clean and unblocked. In combination with the role of the first heating wire 1132 in the heating water guide 113, the second heating wire 116 further enhances the ability of the water collecting mechanism 11 to handle condensate water. The two work together to heat and evaporate the condensate water more quickly, reduce the residence time of water in the equipment, and thereby reduce the potential risk of corrosion and icing.

[0095] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 ,Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, the inner circumferential wall of the water collecting groove 111 has at least one inclined surface, and the lowest point of the heating water guide 113 is located on one of the inclined surfaces. The lowest point of each inclined surface is provided with a drain port 1141, and each inclined surface guides the cooling water to the drain port 1141 from a different direction.

[0096] In this embodiment, the inner circumferential wall of the water collecting groove 111 is provided with a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface, and a third inclined surface. The first inclined surface, the second inclined surface, and the third inclined surface are spliced with each other, and the first inclined surface, the second inclined surface, and the third inclined surface are spliced with each other to form a complete flow guide structure.

[0097] The first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are respectively located on the left and right sides in front of the water collecting groove 111, and the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface are inclined from the two sides to the center to form a V-shaped structure. At the same time, the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface also have a certain inclination towards the front. The third inclined surface is located at the rear of the water collecting groove 111, and the highest point of the third inclined surface directly corresponds to the lowest point of the heating water guide 113. The third inclined surface is used to incline towards the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface, and the drain port 1141 is located between the lowest points of the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface.

[0098] In the working process, the condensed water generated on the heating water guide 113 first accumulates at the lowest point thereof, and then flows along the third inclined surface to the first inclined surface and the second inclined surface. Since the two inclined surfaces are inclined from the two sides to the center, the condensed water will be further guided to the drain port 1141 between them and finally flow out of the water collecting groove 111.

[0099] In this embodiment, the inclined surface structure of the water collecting groove 111 significantly improves the processing efficiency of the condensed water. The condensed water can be quickly and efficiently guided to the drain port 1141, reducing the residence time in the water collecting groove 111.

[0100] To avoid the accumulation of condensed water, the inclination angle of each inclined surface and the heating water guide 113 relative to the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 7 degrees. The design of the inclination angle greater than or equal to 7 degrees can ensure that the condensed water does not stagnate or accumulate in a certain area during the flow process. When the condensed water flows along the inclined surface, this angle can facilitate the smooth flow of water to the predetermined drain port 1141.

[0101] In addition, although 7 degrees is a recommended minimum value, in actual application, the inclination angle may need to be adjusted according to specific equipment size, condensed water amount, and working environment, etc.

[0102] In this embodiment, by reasonably setting the inclination angle, the flowability and discharge efficiency of the condensed water in the water collecting groove 111 can be ensured, thereby improving the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.

[0103] In the application, a duct structure is also provided, as shown in the drawings, which comprises a return air inlet assembly 2, an evaporator assembly 3, a fan assembly 4, a back plate duct assembly 5 and a condensate water collection assembly 1. The evaporator assembly 3 is arranged on the condensate water collection assembly 1, and the return air inlet assembly 2 is communicated with the back plate duct assembly 5 through the evaporator assembly 3 and the fan assembly 4, so that air is introduced into the duct structure through the fan assembly 4, passes through the evaporator assembly 3 for cooling, and is then discharged from the back plate duct assembly 5. Figures 9 to 14

[0104] In the application, the return air inlet assembly 2 serves as an air inlet of the duct structure, and is used to introduce air in the refrigeration liner 7 into the duct. One end of the return air inlet assembly 2 extends into the refrigeration liner 7, and the other end is connected with the evaporator assembly 3. The return air inlet assembly 2 ensures that air can be smoothly drawn from the refrigeration liner 7 and directed to the next stage of the cooling process. The evaporator assembly 3 cools the air by transferring heat from the air to the refrigerant through heat exchange. The evaporator assembly 3 is arranged on the condensate water collection assembly 1, so as to facilitate the collection and discharge of condensate water. The evaporator assembly 3 is fixed to the outside of the refrigeration liner 7 by the evaporator fixing buckle on the condensate water collection assembly 1. The fan assembly 4 is located between the evaporator assembly 3 and the back plate duct assembly 5. The fixed side plate 12 is arranged outside the refrigeration liner 7, and the evaporator assembly 3, the return air inlet assembly 2 and the condensate water collection assembly 1 are fixed to the outside of the refrigeration liner 7 as a whole through the fixed side plate 12. The fan assembly 4 provides power to drive the circulation of air, so that the cooled air can be effectively discharged from the back plate duct assembly 5, while new air is drawn in for cooling. The back plate duct assembly 5 serves as an air outlet channel, which discharges the cooled air from the refrigeration liner 7 and also provides a circulation path for the air. The back plate duct assembly 5 is usually fixed to the back or side of the refrigeration liner 7 by means of a hanging buckle and screws, so as to facilitate the discharge and circulation of air. The condensate water collection assembly 1 collects the condensate water generated by the evaporator assembly 3 during operation, so as to prevent the condensate water from accumulating and possibly causing damage to the equipment. The condensate water collection assembly 1 is located below the evaporator assembly 3, so as to ensure that the condensate water can flow in and be collected smoothly. The specific structure of the condensate water collection assembly 1 can be referred to the above embodiments, which will not be described here again. The duct structure is arranged on the refrigeration liner 7 of the refrigeration equipment as a whole, and cooperates with the bacteria removal assembly 9, the refrigeration display screen assembly 8 and the like in the inside of the refrigeration liner 7.

[0105] ​In the working process, the air in the refrigeration liner 7 is sucked into the air duct structure through the return air inlet assembly 2. The sucked air enters the evaporator assembly 3. The evaporator assembly 3 cools the air by transferring the heat in the air to the refrigerant through the heat exchange principle. In this process, the evaporator assembly 3 produces condensate water, which is collected in the condensate water collection assembly 1. The cooled air is driven by the fan assembly 4 and discharged through the back plate air duct assembly 5. The fan assembly 4 provides power to enable the air to circulate smoothly in the air duct structure. The back plate air duct assembly 5 serves as an air outlet channel to ensure that the cooled air can be evenly distributed into the refrigeration liner 7. The discharged air enters the refrigeration liner 7 again and mixes with other air in the refrigeration liner 7. With the continuous operation of the refrigeration device, the air is continuously sucked, cooled, discharged and circulated, thereby achieving uniform cooling of the air in the refrigeration liner 7.

[0106] The air duct structure provided by the embodiments of the present application has the evaporator assembly 3, the return air inlet assembly 2 and the condensate water collection assembly 1 fixed as a whole on the outside of the refrigeration liner 7 through the fixed side plate 12. The sliding design of the guide piece 112 on the condensate water collection assembly 1 and the guide groove 121 allows fine adjustment during installation, ensuring that the evaporator assembly 3, the return air inlet assembly 2 and the condensate water collection assembly 1 can be accurately and stably connected to the refrigeration device, thereby realizing quick and simple connection of the air duct structure and the refrigeration device.

[0107] The embodiments of the present application also provide a refrigeration device, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The refrigeration device can be a refrigerator, a freezer or other device. The refrigeration device comprises a cabinet 6 and an air duct structure. The cabinet 6 has a storage space formed therein; and the air duct structure is arranged at the top of the storage space.

[0108] In this embodiment, the refrigerator is an integrated refrigerator, which is embedded in the cabinet or wall of the kitchen, realizing seamless docking with the surrounding environment. The cabinet 6 serves as the shell of the refrigeration device, providing necessary protection and support for the storage space. The cabinet 6 forms a spacious storage space inside, which is used to store various items that need to be refrigerated or frozen. The refrigeration liner 7 is located in the storage space inside the cabinet 6. The refrigeration liner 7 provides a relatively closed refrigeration environment for the storage space, ensuring that the items inside can maintain the required temperature range. The refrigeration liner 7 is usually made of materials with good thermal insulation performance, such as foam plastic or vacuum insulation panels, to reduce heat transfer and loss. The air duct structure is arranged above the refrigeration liner 7 and is closely connected to the refrigeration liner 7, located at the top of the entire refrigerator. The air duct structure is responsible for guiding air circulation inside the refrigeration device and cooling air through the evaporator assembly 3. The evaporator assembly 3, the air return port assembly 2, and the condensate water collection assembly 1 are fixed as a whole outside the refrigeration liner 7 by the fixed side plate 12. The specific structure of the air duct structure can refer to the above embodiment, which will not be described here. The air duct structure is usually composed of multiple components such as the air return port assembly 2, the evaporator assembly 3, the fan assembly 4, the back plate air duct assembly 5, and the condensate water collection assembly 1. These components work together to achieve the functions of air cooling and circulation.

[0109] When the refrigeration device is started, the fan assembly 4 starts to work, driving air circulation in the air duct structure. The air return port assembly 2 sucks air in the refrigeration liner 7 into the air duct structure, which is then cooled by the evaporator assembly 3. The cooled air is then discharged by the fan assembly 4 and evenly distributed to the refrigeration liner 7 through the back plate air duct assembly 5. In this way, the air in the storage space can be continuously cooled and circulated, maintaining the required temperature range.

[0110] The refrigeration device provided by the embodiment of the present application has the evaporator assembly 3, the air return port assembly 2, and the condensate water collection assembly 1 fixed as a whole outside the refrigeration liner 7 by the fixed side plate 12, and the sliding design of the guide 112 on the condensate water collection assembly 1 and the guide groove 121 allows fine adjustment during installation, ensuring that the evaporator assembly 3, the air return port assembly 2, and the condensate water collection assembly 1 can be accurately and stably connected to the refrigeration device, realizing quick and easy connection of the air duct structure and the refrigeration device.
