Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-7 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0025] A refrigerated truck body water collection device includes a water tray 1, which collects accumulated water. The water tray 1 is made of 304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life. It features a sloping design with varying elevations for easy drainage. A mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water tray 1, allowing it to be installed inside the refrigerated truck body, below the return air vent. A stainless steel pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water tray 1, connecting it to a low-temperature resistant flexible water pipe 4 for drainage. The end of the stainless steel pipe 3 furthest from the water tray 1 is fixedly connected to the low-temperature resistant flexible water pipe 4, which drains the accumulated water. The water flows along the low-temperature resistant flexible water pipe 4 into a self-closing drain pipe 9. A third... A mounting bracket 5 has a first mounting bolt 6 on its surface. The first mounting bracket 5 and the first mounting bolt 6 are used to install a second mounting bracket 7 and a self-closing drain pipe 9 into the refrigerated truck body, on the floor of the body. The second mounting bracket 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first mounting bracket 5, and a second mounting bolt 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second mounting bracket 7. The second mounting bracket 7 and the second mounting bolt 8 are used to install the self-closing drain pipe 9 onto the first mounting bracket 5. The self-closing drain pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second mounting bolt 8. The self-closing drain pipe 9 is used to drain accumulated water. The self-closing drain pipe 9 can be opened by gravity and closed by rubber elasticity. When water accumulates, the gravity of the water will open the duckbill tail to drain the water. When there is no water, it will automatically spring back and close to ensure the heat preservation performance of the refrigerated truck body.
[0026] Furthermore, the water tray 1, mounting plate 2, and stainless steel pipe 3 are all made of stainless steel. The water tray 1 adopts a sloping design with one high and one low. The water tray 1 is used to catch accumulated water. The material of the water tray 1 is 304 stainless steel, which is corrosion-resistant and has a long service life. The sloping design with one high and one low facilitates the drainage of accumulated water.
[0027] Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 is plate-shaped and is used to install the water tray 1 inside the refrigerated truck body, below the return air vent. The stainless steel pipe 3 is connected to the lower side of the water tray 1 and is used to connect the water tray 1 and the low-temperature resistant soft water pipe 4 for draining accumulated water.
[0028] Furthermore, the end of the low-temperature resistant soft water pipe 4 away from the stainless steel pipe 3 extends into the self-closing downpipe 9. The low-temperature resistant soft water pipe 4 is used for the drainage of accumulated water. The accumulated water flows along the low-temperature resistant soft water pipe 4 into the self-closing downpipe 9. The cross-section of the first mounting bracket 5 is "L" shaped.
[0029] Furthermore, the first mounting bolts 6 are symmetrically distributed in two sets on the surface of the first mounting bracket 5. The first mounting bracket 5 is mounted on the compartment through the first mounting bolts 6. The first mounting bracket 5 and the first mounting bolts 6 are used to install the second mounting bracket 7 and the self-closing drain pipe 9 inside the refrigerated compartment and on the bottom plate of the compartment.
[0030] Furthermore, the cross-section of the second mounting bracket 7 is "L" shaped, and the second mounting bracket 7 is distributed in two sets on the surface of the first mounting bracket 5. The second mounting bracket 7 and the second mounting bolt 8 are used to install the self-closing downpipe 9 on the first mounting bracket 5.
[0031] Furthermore, two sets of second mounting bolts 8 are distributed on the surface of a set of second mounting brackets 7. The self-closing drain pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the second mounting bolts 8 and the second mounting brackets 7. The self-closing drain pipe 9 is made of rubber and has a duckbill-shaped tail. The self-closing drain pipe 9 is used to drain accumulated water. The self-closing drain pipe 9 can be opened by gravity and closed by rubber elasticity. When there is accumulated water, the gravity of the accumulated water will open the duckbill tail to drain the water. When there is no accumulated water, it will automatically spring back and close to ensure the heat preservation performance of the refrigerated compartment.
[0032] Working principle: Water accumulated at the return air vent will fall into the water collection tray 1. The water in the water collection tray 1 will flow from high to low along the stainless steel pipe 3 and the low-temperature resistant soft water pipe 4 into the self-closing drain pipe 9. The self-closing drain pipe 9 can be opened by gravity and closed by rubber elasticity. When water is accumulated, the gravity of the water will open the duckbill tail to drain the water. When there is no water, it will automatically spring back and close to ensure the heat preservation performance of the refrigerated compartment.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
