Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of box structures, and in particular to a box structure. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, various cabinet structures, such as refrigerated display cases and temperature-controlled boxes, are widely used in commercial displays, food processing, laboratory storage, and other fields. These cabinets are usually equipped with glass doors to facilitate observation of the internal items while maintaining certain temperature and humidity conditions. However, when there is a temperature difference between the internal temperature of the cabinet and the external environment, especially when the internal temperature is low and the external temperature is high, condensation is prone to occur on the surface of the glass door.
[0003] Traditional cabinet designs have significant shortcomings in handling condensation. Specifically, most existing products are not designed with effective condensation collection and treatment in mind, resulting in condensation dripping directly onto the floor when the door is opened. This not only increases the user's cleaning burden but can also make the floor slippery, creating a safety hazard. Furthermore, if accumulated condensation is not cleaned promptly, it will flow along the cabinet surface, accelerating the aging process of the cabinet materials, especially metal cabinets, which are more prone to rust and corrosion, severely impacting the product's lifespan and aesthetic appearance. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide a box structure that can hold condensate.
[0005] The above-mentioned objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A box structure includes a box door, a box body, and a glass door. The box door is installed on the box body to form a box space, and the glass door is disposed within the accommodating space and is also installed on the box body to form an accommodating space.
[0007] The enclosure structure also includes a water receiving tray, which is also located within the enclosure space. The water receiving tray is positioned below the glass door and extends to both sides of the glass door.
[0008] This application further specifies that the water receiving tray is bent in the middle to form a turning section.
[0009] This application further provides that there is an included angle between the two sides of the turning portion.
[0010] This application is further configured such that the front end of the bottom of the box body is sunken to form a recess, and the water receiving tray is disposed in the recess.
[0011] The present application further specifies that the box body has an opening, the end face of the periphery of the opening forms a front panel, and the box door and the front panel are rotatably connected.
[0012] The present application further specifies that the water receiving tray includes a first connecting part and a second connecting part, the first connecting part and the second connecting part are respectively disposed on both sides of the turning part, the first connecting part is connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the box, and the second connecting part is connected to the front panel.
[0013] This application further specifies that the first connecting part is vertically arranged and the second connecting part is inclined.
[0014] The present application further provides that the bottom of the water receiving tray is connected to a drain pipe, one end of the drain pipe is connected to the bend, and the other end of the drain pipe extends outside the box space.
[0015] This application further specifies that the glass door is vertically positioned above the water receiving tray.
[0016] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows:
[0017] 1. The drip tray of this application is located below the glass door to collect condensation generated on the glass door and extends to both sides of the glass door. This design ensures that the condensation can be quickly captured by the drip tray after it forms, preventing the condensation from dripping directly onto the ground, thereby reducing the user's cleaning work and avoiding potential safety hazards caused by the wet ground.
[0018] 2. The drip tray of this application can effectively intercept condensate and prevent it from flowing along the surface of the cabinet, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage to the cabinet caused by water erosion and extending the service life of the product.

[0023] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a box structure includes a box door 2, a box body 1, and a glass door 7. The box door 2 is installed on the box body 1 to form a box space, and the glass door 7 is located in the accommodating space. The glass door 7 is also installed on the box body 1 to form an accommodating space.
[0025] The enclosure structure also includes a water tray 3, which is also located within the enclosure space. The water tray 3 is located below the glass door 7 and extends to both sides of the glass door 7.
[0026] The cabinet structure of this application is particularly suitable for scenarios that require maintaining a low or constant internal temperature environment and frequently face condensation problems, such as refrigerated display cases and constant temperature storage boxes.
[0027] As the main component of the entire structure, enclosure 1 is made of robust and durable materials, such as stainless steel or high-quality cold-rolled steel sheet, to ensure it can withstand the weight of the internal items and the impact of the external environment. The shape and size of enclosure 1 are determined according to the specific application requirements.
[0028] The door 2 is installed on one side of the container 1 and is connected to the container 1 by a hinge or latch for easy opening and closing. The door 2 may be equipped with a lock to ensure the safety of the contents.
[0029] A glass door 7 is located inside the enclosure 1 and is used to display the items inside. The glass door 7 is made of transparent or semi-transparent material to facilitate observation of the interior. The glass door 7 is also mounted to the enclosure 1 using appropriate fastening devices. Preferably, the glass door 7 is mounted to the enclosure 1 using a hinged fastening device, allowing the glass door 7 to rotate within a certain range, facilitating installation and disassembly, and simplifying maintenance and replacement. Simultaneously, the hinge provides stable support and rotational function, enabling the glass door 7 to open and close smoothly.
[0030] The drip tray 3 is located below the glass door 7 and extends to both sides of the glass door 7, forming a complete collection area. The drip tray 3 is made of corrosion-resistant and easy-to-clean materials, such as stainless steel or plastic. The design of the drip tray 3 ensures that condensate is quickly captured and collected after it forms, preventing it from dripping onto the floor.
[0031] The cabinet door 2 is connected to the cabinet body 1 by hinges or latches, ensuring that the cabinet door 2 can be opened and closed smoothly. The glass door 7 is installed inside the cabinet body 1, and the drip tray 3 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet body 1 by welding or screws, ensuring that it can firmly bear the condensate.
[0032] The design of the drip tray 3 ensures that condensate can be quickly captured and collected after it forms, preventing condensate from dripping directly onto the ground, reducing the user's cleaning work, and eliminating potential safety hazards caused by slippery floors.
[0033] The drip tray 3 effectively intercepts condensate and prevents it from flowing along the surface of the housing 1, thereby greatly reducing the risk of damage to the housing 1 caused by water erosion and extending the service life of the product.
[0034] Furthermore, the water receiving tray 3 is bent in the middle to form a turning part 5, and there is an included angle between the two sides of the turning part 5. The preferred included angle is 60°, the preferred included angle is 45°, and the preferred included angle is 90°.
[0035] When the included angle is 60°, the drip tray 3 can better adapt to the flow direction of the condensate, allowing the condensate to flow smoothly into the bottom of the drip tray 3, reducing the possibility of splashing and stagnation.
[0036] When the included angle is 45°, the water receiving tray 3 can reduce the space occupied while maintaining a certain flow guiding effect, making the internal structure of the box 1 more compact.
[0037] When the included angle is 90°, the water tray 3 forms a right-angle turn. This design is suitable for certain scenarios, such as when space is limited or a specific angle is required to guide the condensate.
[0038] By incorporating a bend 5 in the middle, the condensate tray 3 can better guide the flow of condensate, allowing it to flow more smoothly into the bottom of the tray. This not only reduces condensate splashing and retention but also improves condensate collection efficiency.
[0039] By adjusting the included angle on both sides of the turning section 5, the drip tray 3 can adapt to different usage scenarios and needs. Whether it is necessary to maintain the compactness of the internal structure of the cabinet 1 or to guide condensate at a specific angle, this can be achieved by selecting an appropriate included angle.
[0040] The design of the transition section 5 not only improves the efficiency of condensate collection but also keeps the interior of the cabinet 1 clean and dry by reducing condensate splashing and retention. This not only reduces the user's cleaning workload but also enhances the user's overall product satisfaction and user experience.
[0041] The setting of the turning part 5 extends the service life of the product. By effectively collecting and treating condensate, the erosion and corrosion of the surface of the box 1 by condensate can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the product.
[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the bottom of the housing 1 is recessed to form a depression, and the water tray 3 is placed in the depression. The shape and size of the depression match the water tray 3 to ensure that the water tray 3 can be placed stably in it. This allows the water tray 3 to not only effectively collect condensate, but also to form an integral part with the bottom of the housing 1, improving the overall aesthetics and the compactness of the structure.
[0043] By recessing the bottom front of the tank 1 to create a depression and placing the water tray 3 within it, the internal space of the tank 1 is effectively utilized. This design not only reduces the space occupied by the water tray 3 on the external space of the tank 1, but also makes the overall structure more compact and aesthetically pleasing.
[0044] The drip tray 3 is placed in the recess, forming an integrated structure with the bottom of the casing 1. This design not only improves the stability of the drip tray 3 but also enhances the overall structural stability of the casing 1. Even when a large amount of condensate accumulates, the drip tray 3 is not easily shaken or detached.
[0045] Furthermore, the housing 1 has an opening, and the outer end face of the opening forms a front panel 6. The door 2 and the front panel 6 are rotatably connected. The water tray 3 includes a first connecting part 8 and a second connecting part 9, which are respectively located on both sides of the turning part 5. The first connecting part 8 is connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the housing 1, and the second connecting part 9 is connected to the front panel 6. The first connecting part 8 is vertically arranged, and the second connecting part 9 is inclined. The glass door 7 is vertically arranged above the water tray 3.
[0046] Furthermore, the water tray 3 is welded into the recess, and the first connecting part 8 and the bottom of the inner surface of the housing 1, as well as the second connecting part 9 and the front panel 6, are all welded together. The water tray 3 and the housing 1 form an integrated design using a welding process.
[0047] The first connecting part 8 is vertically positioned and connects to the bottom of the inner surface of the housing 1; the second connecting part 9 is inclined and connects to the front panel 6. In this way, the drip tray 3 can not only be stably installed inside the housing 1, but also adapt to the flow direction of condensate, thus collecting condensate more effectively.
[0048] The design of the first connecting part 8 and the second connecting part 9 takes into account the stability and flow guiding effect of the water receiving tray 3. The first connecting part 8 is set vertically to ensure that the bottom of the water receiving tray 3 is in close contact with the inner surface of the housing 1, preventing condensate from leaking from the bottom. The second connecting part 9 is set at an angle to guide the condensate into the interior of the water receiving tray 3 along the inclined direction, avoiding condensate from accumulating or splashing out at the edge of the water receiving tray 3.
[0049] The bottom front end of the housing 1 is recessed to provide an installation space for the water tray 3. The water tray 3 is welded into the recess, ensuring a stable connection between the water tray 3 and the housing 1.
[0050] The welded connection between the water tray 3 and the recess not only improves the stability of the water tray 3, but also enhances the overall structural strength of the housing 1. This connection method can withstand greater external forces and impacts, ensuring that the water tray 3 is not prone to loosening or falling off during long-term use.
[0051] Furthermore, the distance between glass door 7 and cabinet door 2 is 35mm.
[0052] Furthermore, a drain pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the water receiving tray 3. One end of the drain pipe 4 is connected to the turning part 5, and the other end of the drain pipe 4 extends outside the box space.
[0053] like Figure 3 The drain pipe 4 is L-shaped, and the angle between the first connecting part 8 and the second connecting part 9 is 60°. The L-shaped drain pipe 4 is easier to connect by insertion, and the connection with the turning part 5 at the 60° angle can better drain water out of the body.
[0054] The drain pipe 4 is L-shaped, which allows it to better adapt to the internal structure and external space layout of the housing 1. At the same time, one end of the drain pipe 4 is connected to the bend 5 of the drip tray 3, ensuring that condensate can be smoothly discharged through the drain pipe 4.
[0055] The included angle between the first connecting part 8 and the second connecting part 9 is 60°. This design not only meets aesthetic requirements but also better accommodates the installation of the "L"-shaped drain pipe 4. The 60° angle makes it easier to connect the drain pipe 4 and better guides the condensate water along the drain pipe 4, reducing water flow resistance and stagnation.
[0056] One end of the drain pipe 4 is tightly connected to the bend 5 of the drip tray 3 to ensure that condensate does not leak from the connection. The other end extends outside the enclosure and is usually connected to a drainage system or container to safely drain the condensate.
[0057] The drain pipe 4 is connected by a plug-in connection or other connection methods to ensure a secure and non-detachable connection between the drain pipe 4 and the water tray 3. At the same time, the material of the drain pipe 4 should have a certain degree of corrosion resistance and durability to withstand various environmental challenges during long-term use.
[0058] The first connecting part 8 and the second connecting part 9 of the drip tray 3 are connected to the bottom of the inner surface of the housing 1 and the front panel 6 by welding or other fixing methods, respectively. One end of the drain pipe 4 is tightly connected to the turning part 5 of the drip tray 3 by plug-in connection or other connection methods to ensure that condensate can flow smoothly into the drain pipe 4.
[0059] By adding a drain pipe 4 at the bottom of the drip tray 3 and designing it in an "L" shape, condensate can be discharged more smoothly from the outside of the housing 1 through the drain pipe 4. This design not only reduces the residence time of condensate in the drip tray 3, but also reduces the potential impact of condensate on the internal environment of the housing 1.
[0060] The L-shaped drain pipe 4, combined with the 60° bend 5, makes the insertion and connection of the drain pipe 4 more convenient and secure. This design not only simplifies the installation process of the drain pipe 4, but also improves the reliability of the connection between the drain pipe 4 and the water tray 3.
[0061] The "L"-shaped design of the drain pipe 4 and the bend 5 not only meet aesthetic requirements but also integrate better into the overall structure of the housing 1. This design not only improves the overall aesthetics of the housing 1 but also makes it more visually harmonious and unified. The connection method of the drain pipe 4 also facilitates disassembly and maintenance, reducing the user's maintenance costs.
[0062] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
