Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0051] In the prior art, for refrigeration equipment such as freezers, refrigerators and water dispensers with refrigeration function, the refrigeration equipment includes a cabinet and a compressor compartment assembly located on the lower side of the cabinet. The compressor compartment assembly includes a water tray, a heat dissipation component (condenser and / or fan) and a compressor. The water tray, heat dissipation component and compressor are arranged in sequence according to the direction of the refrigeration equipment from front to back, so that the compressor can use the air discharged by the heat dissipation component to dissipate heat.

[0052] However, in practical applications, it has been found that because the condenser and fan are not integrated, significant airflow loss occurs when the fan drives air through the condenser, making it difficult to effectively remove heat from the condenser and dissipate heat from the compressor. While a guide shroud could be installed between the condenser and fan to direct airflow to the condenser area and reduce airflow loss, this design inevitably increases the space occupied by the compressor housing, especially its height, making it difficult to increase the volume of the refrigeration unit while maintaining the same height. To address these issues, this invention proposes a new layout design for the compressor housing.

[0053] The following is combined with Figures 1-8 The compressor compartment assembly and refrigeration equipment provided in the utility model embodiments will be described in detail through specific implementation examples and application scenarios.

[0054] In the first aspect, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a compressor compartment assembly 1, which is applied to a refrigeration device and is configured to be disposed on the lower side of the housing 2 of the refrigeration device.

[0055] The compressor compartment assembly 1 mentioned above includes: a base 10 and a heat dissipation assembly 13;

[0056] A portion of the base 10 is formed as a water receiving tray 11, and the water receiving tray 11 is provided with an installation area 111 and a water receiving area 112; the heat dissipation assembly 13 includes a wind chamber 131 and a condenser 132 and a fan 133 disposed in the wind chamber 131, and the wind chamber 131 is provided with an air inlet 1301 and an air outlet 1302.

[0057] The air chamber 131 is located in the installation area 111, and at least part of the shell wall of the air chamber 131 serves as part of the water receiving tray 11.

[0058] Understandably, the base 10 is typically horizontally positioned, and the area of ​​the base 10, excluding the water tray 11, is used to install the compressor 12. For example, along the front-rear direction of the refrigeration equipment, the water tray 11 is positioned in front of the compressor 12. Since the water tray 11 occupies most of the area of ​​the compressor compartment assembly 1, an installation area 111 can be set within the water tray 11. The heat dissipation assembly 13 is then arranged based on the installation area 111, allowing the heat dissipation assembly 13 to be placed inside the water tray 11, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the compressor compartment assembly 1.

[0059] For the water receiving tray 11, the installation area 111 and the water receiving area 112 can be arranged side by side. The water receiving area 112 can also be arranged around the installation area 111 in a fully enclosed or semi-enclosed manner. The water receiving area 112 is constructed in the shape of a trough and is used to hold the condensate generated from the cabinet 2 of the refrigeration equipment. For example, the evaporator of the refrigeration equipment is set inside the cabinet 2. The condensate generated by the evaporator will flow to the bottom of the cabinet 2 and then flow from the bottom of the cabinet 2 to the water receiving area 112 of the water receiving tray 11.

[0060] For example, a water-blocking structure can be provided between the installation area 111 and the water receiving area 112, so that when the heat dissipation component 13 is installed in the installation area 111, the condensate in the water receiving area 112 will not enter the heat dissipation component 13 in the installation area 111.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the water receiving area 112 can be equipped with an overflow port 1100. The installation height of the overflow port 1100 corresponds to the water storage height of the water receiving area 112. That is, when the condensate in the water receiving area 112 reaches the set water storage height, the condensate overflows from the overflow port 1100 to the outside of the refrigeration and heating equipment.

[0062] The water receiving pan 11 is equipped with an overflow pipe, the upper end of which forms an overflow port 1100, and the lower end of which extends to the bottom surface of the water receiving pan 11.

[0063] For the air chamber 131, an air duct is formed inside the air chamber 131 that connects the air inlet 1301 and the air outlet 1302. The condenser 132 and the fan 133 are arranged in sequence in the air duct. Along the flow direction of the airflow in the air duct, the fan 133 can be arranged in front of the condenser 132 or behind the condenser 132, without any specific limitation.

[0064] The condenser 132 and the fan 133 can be configured to be distributed vertically or horizontally, and the condenser 132 is configured to be connected to the exhaust end of the compressor 12 through the evaporator pipe 14.

[0065] Meanwhile, the air inlet 1301 and the air outlet 1302 can both be set on the side wall of the air chamber 131, or the air inlet 1301 and the air outlet 1302 can be set in other positions of the air chamber 131. There are no specific restrictions, as long as the air chamber 131 can smoothly receive and discharge air.

[0066] In the application scenario of this embodiment, by integrating the condenser 132 and the fan 133 into the air chamber 131, the wind energy of the fan 133 can be effectively utilized, the wind energy loss of the fan 133 can be reduced, and the airflow driven by the fan 133 can be fully utilized to exchange heat with the condenser 132, ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the condenser 132. Furthermore, since at least part of the shell wall of the air chamber 131 is part of the water receiving tray 11, this design integrates the water receiving tray 11 and the heat dissipation component 13 into one unit, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the heat dissipation component 13 on the upper side of the water receiving tray 11. This achieves the goal of reducing the height space occupied by the compressor compartment component 1 from the overall perspective, thereby increasing the volume space of the refrigeration equipment housing 2 at the same height.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the installation area 111 of the water receiving tray is provided with a groove 1311, the air inlet 1301 of the air chamber 131 is formed at the bottom of the groove 1311, the air outlet 1302 of the air chamber 131 is located on the side of the air chamber 131 and is arranged towards the compressor 12, and at least part of the water receiving area 112 is located between the installation area 111 and the compressor 12; the air chamber 131 is configured to take in air from the air inlet 1301 and discharge the airflow from the air outlet 1302 to the compressor 12.

[0068] It is understandable that the air outlet 1302 can be set horizontally or at an acute angle relative to the horizontal. However, the angle between the air outlet 1302 and the horizontal should be determined according to the height of the air outlet 1302 relative to the water receiving area 112, so as to ensure that the airflow discharged from the air outlet 1302 can pass over the upper surface of the condensate in the water receiving area 112 to promote the evaporation of the condensate.

[0069] The compressor compartment assembly 1 shown in this utility model, through the airflow structure of the heat dissipation assembly 13, arranges a portion of the water receiving area 112 of the water receiving tray 11 between the heat dissipation assembly 13 and the compressor 12 along the air outlet direction of the heat dissipation assembly 13. In practical applications, outside air enters the heat dissipation assembly 13 from the air inlet 1301 at the bottom of the water receiving tray 11, and then exits from the side of the heat dissipation assembly 13 through the air outlet 1302. This design enables the heat dissipation assembly 13 to directionally guide the airflow, reducing wind power loss. The airflow from the outlet 1302 of the heat dissipation component 13 is roughly horizontal. The airflow from the outlet 1302 of the heat dissipation component 13 first passes over the upper side of a portion of the water collection area 112 to promote the evaporation of condensate in the water collection area 112. Then the airflow continues to flow to the surface of the compressor 12 to perform air convection heat dissipation on the compressor 12, thereby removing the heat generated by the compressor 12 during operation, preventing the compressor 12 from overheating, which is beneficial to the working life of the compressor 12 and improves the cooling performance.

[0070] As can be seen from the above, the compressor compartment assembly 1 shown in this utility model reduces the space occupied, can effectively evaporate the condensate in the water pan 11, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the compressor compartment assembly 1, help reduce system energy consumption, and extend the service life of the compressor 12.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the water receiving area 112 includes: a first area 1121, a second area 1122 and a third area 1123; the first area 1121, the second area 1122 and the third area 1123 are arranged around the installation area 111, the first area 1121 and the second area 1122 are spaced apart from each other and are respectively connected to the third area 1123, and the third area 1123 is located between the installation area 111 and the compressor 12.

[0072] It is understandable that the first area 1121, the third area 1123, and the second area 1122 corresponding to the water receiving area 112 are connected in sequence to form a "C" shaped layout. Since the heat dissipation component 13 is located in the installation area 111, the third area 1123 is located between the heat dissipation component 13 and the compressor 12.

[0073] In practical applications, the airflow discharged from the heat dissipation component 13 flows from the upper side of the third region 1123 to the compressor 12. During the process of the airflow flowing from the upper side of the third region 1123, the airflow comes into contact with the condensate in the third region 1123 to promote the evaporation of the condensate.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the compressor compartment assembly 1 also includes an evaporator pipe 14, which is located in the third region 1123 and is connected to the output end of the compressor 12.

[0075] It is understandable that the compressor 12, evaporator 14, condenser 132, throttling element 120, and evaporator are connected in sequence to form a closed-loop refrigeration system. After compressing the refrigerant, the compressor 12 discharges the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant into the evaporator 14, where the evaporator 14 heats up under the action of the refrigerant. The throttling element 120 can be a capillary tube or an electronic expansion valve. A dryer filter 19 is also connected in series between the condenser 132 and the throttling element 120.

[0076] Since the evaporator pipe 14 is located in the third area 1123 of the water receiving pan 11, the condensate in the third area 1123 is evaporated by the airflow discharged from the heat dissipation component 13, and the evaporator pipe 14 heats the condensate, which enhances the evaporation effect of the condensate, prevents the condensate from accumulating too much in the water receiving pan 11, and avoids the need for manual dumping of the condensate in the water receiving pan 11.

[0077] For example, the evaporator tube 14 can be a copper tube or a stainless steel tube, without specific limitation.

[0078] For example, the evaporator tube 14 can be arranged in a serpentine configuration in the third region 1123 to ensure the area of ​​the evaporator tube 14 within a limited space.

[0079] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a first retainer 1111 is provided in the third area 1123 corresponding to the water receiving tray 11. The first retainer 1111 is used to retain the evaporation tube 14, which ensures the installation height of the evaporation tube 14 in the water receiving tray 11 and stably sets the water receiving tray 11 in the water receiving tray 11, making it convenient to install and remove the evaporation tube 14.

[0080] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the edge of the water receiving tray 11 is provided with a second bracket 1112. Multiple second brackets 1112 are provided and are arranged sequentially and at intervals along the edge of the water receiving tray 11. The second brackets 1112 are used to hold wire harnesses. For example, wire harnesses from the heat dissipation component 13 can be held in each second bracket 1112 to ensure the aesthetics of the wire harness layout.

[0081] Both the first card holder 1111 and the second card holder 1112 mentioned above can be flexible card holders.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the condenser 132 and the fan 133 are stacked vertically within the air chamber 131, with at least one of the condenser 132 and the fan 133 arranged horizontally. The vertical direction is perpendicular to the upper surface of the base 10.

[0083] It is understood that the condenser 132 can be located below the fan 133. When the fan 133 is working, outside air enters the air chamber 131 from the air inlet 1301 at the bottom of the air chamber 131, exchanges heat with the condenser 132 through convection, reaches the fan 133, and is then discharged from the air outlet 1302 on the side of the air chamber 131 by the fan 133. In this case, both the condenser 132 and the fan 133 can be configured horizontally, or the condenser 132 can be configured horizontally and the fan 133 can be configured vertically; there is no specific limitation on this.

[0084] Of course, in some examples, the condenser 132 can also be located on the upper side of the fan 133. When the fan 133 is working, outside air enters the air chamber 131 from the air inlet 1301 at the bottom of the air chamber 131 and is transported to the condenser 132 by the fan 133. After convective heat exchange with the condenser 132, it is discharged from the air outlet 1302 on the side of the air chamber 131.

[0085] Furthermore, to effectively reduce the installation height of the heat dissipation component 13, the condenser 132 can be installed below the fan 133. Both the condenser 132 and the fan 133 are horizontally distributed. The condenser 132 is a parallel flow condenser, and the fan 133 is a centrifugal fan 133. Here, "horizontally distributed" means that the condenser 132 is roughly horizontally positioned, and "horizontally distributed" means that the central axis of the fan 133 is roughly vertically positioned.

[0086] In this specification, in addition to a parallel flow condenser, a wire condenser or other suitable structures can be selected for condenser 132. Under the condition of meeting the actual application scenario, an axial flow fan can also be selected for fan 133.

[0087] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly 13 also includes: a partition 134, which is disposed in the air chamber 131 to isolate the first cavity 13101 and the second cavity 13102 in the air chamber 131. The partition 134 is provided with a ventilation opening for connecting the first cavity 13101 and the second cavity 13102.

[0088] The fan 133 is located in the first cavity 13101, the condenser 132 is located in the second cavity 13102, the air inlet 1301 is connected to the second cavity 13102, and the air outlet 1302 is connected to the first cavity 13101.

[0089] It is understandable that the installation area 111 of the water receiving tray 11 is provided with a groove 1311, that is, the groove 1311 is part of the structure of the water receiving tray 11. The water receiving tray 11 is provided with an air inlet 1301 at the bottom of the groove corresponding to the groove 1311. Multiple air inlets 1301 can be provided, and multiple air inlets 1301 are arranged in an array to ensure the air intake area of ​​the air chamber 131.

[0090] The air chamber 131 includes a groove 1311 and an air cover 1312 covering the opening of the groove 1311. A partition 134 is installed at the opening of the groove 1311. The air cover 1312 and the partition 134 form a first cavity 13101, and the groove 1311 and the partition 134 form a second cavity 13102. An air outlet 1302 is provided on the side wall of the air cover 1312.

[0091] Meanwhile, the structural design of the groove 1311 is adapted to the size of the condenser 132, the air inlet area formed by the multiple air inlets 1301 is adapted to the cross-sectional size of the side of the condenser 132 facing the air inlet 1301, and the size of the shroud 1312 is adapted to the size of the fan 133.

[0092] When installing the heat dissipation component 13, first install the condenser 132 in the groove 1311, then install the fan 133 in the shroud 1312, connect the baffle 134 to the shroud opening of the shroud 1312, and finally install the shroud 1312 in the groove opening of the groove 1311.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the condenser 132 is suspended inside the second cavity 13102. Gaps are left between the baffle 134 and the top wall of the condenser 132, as well as between the bottom wall of the condenser 132 and the bottom of the groove 1311. This design helps to ensure that the airflow can fully convect and exchange heat with the condenser 132, and the arrangement of the condenser 132 can minimize the flow resistance to the airflow.

[0094] The width of the gap between the baffle 134 and the top wall of the condenser 132 is greater than 10 mm, and the width of the gap between the bottom wall of the condenser 132 and the bottom of the groove 1311 is greater than 8 mm.

[0095] In some embodiments, a hook is provided on the condenser 132, and a mounting hole is provided on the groove edge of the groove 1311. The hook is connected to the groove edge of the groove 1311 through a locking member passing through the mounting hole, so as to suspend the condenser 132 in the second cavity 13102.

[0096] For example, multiple hooks are provided, which are arranged around the circumference of the condenser 132, and the multiple hooks are arranged opposite to the multiple mounting holes on the groove 1311.

[0097] For example, a hook is provided at the top of the condenser 132 and extends outward toward the outside of the condenser 132. The hook is provided with a threaded hole, and a locking bolt passing through the mounting hole can be threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the hook to suspend the condenser 132 in the second cavity 13102.

[0098] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the water receiving tray 11 is equipped with a load-bearing member 1101. The lower side of the load-bearing member 1101 is configured as a support leg 4 for the refrigeration equipment, and the upper side of the load-bearing member 1101 is configured as a housing 2 for the refrigeration equipment. That is, the load-bearing member 1101 is connected to the housing 2 on the upper side of the compressor housing assembly 1 and to the support leg 4 on the lower side of the compressor housing assembly 1. The support leg 4 is configured to support the ground.

[0099] It is understandable that the water receiving tray 11 is a plastic component and the load-bearing component 1101 is an iron component. The load-bearing component 1101 can be detachably installed on the underside of the water receiving tray 11, or the water receiving tray 11 and the load-bearing component 1101 can be injection molded into an integral structure.

[0100] In practical applications, the weight of the refrigeration equipment housing 2 is transferred to the support leg 4 through the load-bearing component 1101. This design ensures the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the refrigeration equipment and avoids the weight of the housing 2 directly acting on the water receiving tray 11 and causing damage to it.

[0101] For example, the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 11 is provided with a slot, and the load-bearing member 1101 is fitted into the slot to provide support on the underside of the water receiving tray 11.

[0102] For example, the load-bearing member 1101 can be configured as a strip, and the load-bearing member 1101 extends along the left and right directions of the refrigeration equipment. Multiple load-bearing members 1101 can be configured, and multiple load-bearing members 1101 are arranged side by side along the front and rear directions of the refrigeration equipment.

[0103] Specifically, a support leg 4 can be configured on the lower side of the left and right ends of the load-bearing component 1101, and the cabinet 2 of the refrigeration equipment is equipped with a side plate extending vertically downward, the lower end of which is connected to the load-bearing component 1101.

[0104] For example, the load-bearing member 1101 is provided with an adjusting screw hole, and the upper end of the support leg 4 is provided with an adjusting screw. The adjusting screw is rotatably installed in the adjusting screw hole, so that by rotating the support leg 4, the height of the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 11 relative to the ground can be adjusted.

[0105] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the base 10 also includes a support plate 1102, which is disposed on one side of the water receiving tray 11. The support plate 1102 is connected to the load-bearing member 1101 through the adapter 1103, and the compressor 12 is disposed on the support plate 1102.

[0106] It is understandable that, along the front-rear direction of the refrigeration equipment, the support plate 1102 is located behind the water receiving tray 11, and the base 10 formed by the water receiving tray 11 and the support plate 1102 serves as the bottom wall of the refrigeration equipment.

[0107] For example, the support plate 1102 has high structural strength, such as stainless steel plate, and is used to provide support for the installation of the compressor 12.

[0108] For example, the lower side of the support plate 1102 may be provided with a support leg 4 that enables height adjustment.

[0109] For example, the adapter 1103 extends along the front-rear direction of the refrigeration equipment. One end of the adapter 1103 is connected to the load-bearing member 1101 through a locking member, and the other end of the adapter 1103 is connected to the support plate 1102 through a locking member.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 11 is provided with a concave structure 1113, and the air inlet 1301 is formed in the area where the concave structure 1113 is located.

[0111] It is understood that the concave structure 1113 is groove-shaped, and the concave structure 1113 and the groove 1311 provided on the upper surface of the water receiving tray 11 are arranged opposite to each other. The air inlet 1301 is formed at the bottom of the groove of the concave structure 1113 and the bottom of the groove 1311.

[0112] Since the concave structure 1113 is recessed from the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 11, the gap width between the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 11 and the ground is smaller than the gap width between the air inlet 1301 where the bottom of the concave structure 1113 is located and the ground. This design can ensure that the bottom surface of the water receiving tray 11 is as close to the ground as possible, preventing relatively large foreign objects on the ground from being sucked into the air inlet 1301.

[0113] Of course, in order to prevent foreign objects from being sucked into the air inlet 1301, a filter grille can be installed at the air inlet 1301 without affecting the airflow and wind resistance at the air inlet 1301.

[0114] In practical applications, in order to ensure the structural strength and molding quality of the water receiving tray 11 at the concave structure 1113, reinforcing ribs can be set between the groove wall and the bottom of the concave structure 1113. Multiple reinforcing ribs can be set, and the multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumference of the concave structure 1113.

[0115] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the compressor compartment assembly 1 also includes: a compartment shell 15 and a water inlet structure. The compartment shell 15 is in the shape of a cover and is installed on the upper side of the base 10. The compartment shell 15 is configured to be installed on the lower side of the housing 2 of the refrigeration equipment. At least part of the water inlet structure is provided inside the compartment shell 15. The water inlet structure is used to guide the condensate generated by the housing 2 to the water receiving area 112.

[0116] It is understandable that a closed containment chamber is formed between the shell 15 and the base 10. The containment chamber is configured to house the compressor 12 and a portion of the water intake structure. This design structure can prevent small animals and insects such as rats and snakes from entering the containment chamber.

[0117] At the same time, the condensate generated in the box 2 is diverted to the water receiving area 112 through the water diversion structure. Under the heating effect of the evaporation pipe 14, the hot air discharged by the heat dissipation component 13 can assist the evaporation of the condensate in the water receiving area 112, avoiding the need for manual dumping of the condensate in the water receiving pan 11.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the water intake structure includes a water intake pipe 16. The shell 15 is provided with a perforation, and the water intake pipe 16 passes through the perforation. The first end of the water intake pipe 16 extends to the bottom end of the tank 2, and the second end of the water intake pipe 16 extends to the water receiving area 112.

[0119] Specifically, the water receiving area 112 is provided with a connector, which includes a column and protrusions arranged circumferentially around the column. The first end of the water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the confluence port located at the bottom of the box 2, and the second end of the water inlet pipe 16 is inserted into the outside of the column. The second end of the water inlet pipe 16 is connected to the gap between two adjacent protrusions. This design can facilitate the installation of the water inlet pipe 16 and make it easy to maintain and replace the water inlet pipe 16.

[0120] The connector is located near the corner of the water receiving tray 11 to prevent the water pipe 16 installed based on the connector from occupying the internal space of the compressor compartment assembly 1.

[0121] In practical applications, the evaporator of the refrigeration equipment is located inside the housing 2, for example, the evaporator is located on the side wall of the housing 2. The condensate generated on the evaporator drips to the bottom of the housing 2 under the action of gravity, and then flows to the confluence port at the bottom of the housing 2. Then the condensate flows down along the water inlet pipe 16 until it flows from the second end of the water inlet pipe 16 to the water receiving area 112 of the water receiving tray 11.

[0122] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water intake structure includes a water collection tank 17 and a diversion channel 18; the water collection tank 17 is formed outside the housing 15 and is configured to be located on the lower side of the door 3 of the refrigeration equipment; the water collection tank 17 is connected to the diversion channel 18 through a drain outlet; the diversion channel 18 is located inside the housing 15 and drains water towards the water receiving area 112.

[0123] Understandably, the refrigeration unit's casing 2 is open on the side facing the user, and the door 3 is rotatably mounted on the open end of casing 2. Because an evaporator is installed inside casing 2, the interior space of casing 2 is at a lower temperature relative to the outside. Under the influence of the cold air inside casing 2, the door 3 also experiences a certain degree of coldness. Therefore, when indoor air containing a certain level of humidity comes into contact with the door 3, condensation will form on the door 3. This condensation gradually collects at the bottom of the door 3 under the influence of gravity. This condensation needs to be treated; otherwise, it will drip onto the indoor floor, affecting the residents' home experience.

[0124] Thus, in this embodiment, the water collection tank 17 is set on the lower side of the door body 3. The water collection tank can be used to collect the condensate dripping from the door body 3. After entering the water collection tank, this part of the condensate flows from the drain outlet at the bottom of the water collection tank into the guide channel 18, and then is discharged through the guide channel 18 to the water receiving area 112 of the water receiving tray 11, so that this part of the condensate can be evaporated.

[0125] In the case where the water receiving area 112 includes a first area 1121, a second area 1122 and a third area 1123, the guide channel 18 is configured to be located on the upper side of the first area 1121 or the second area 1122, that is, the guide channel 18 in the guide channel 18 discharges to the first area 1121 or the second area 1122, and the guide channel 18 is configured to be inclined downward.

[0126] In practical applications, in order to ensure that the water collection trough 17 can collect the condensate dripping from various positions of the door body 3, the water collection trough 17 is located on the lower side of the door body 3, the opening of the water collection trough 17 faces the bottom edge of the door body 3, and extends along the extension direction of the bottom edge of the door body 3.

[0127] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 15 includes a front baffle 151, a housing cover 152, and a back plate 153; the housing cover 152 is detachably mounted on the upper side of the base 10, and both the front and rear sides of the housing cover 152 are open along the front-rear direction of the refrigeration equipment; the front baffle 151 is detachably mounted on the front side of the housing cover 152, and the back plate 153 is detachably mounted on the rear side of the housing cover 152, and an exhaust port is provided on the back plate 153.

[0128] It is understood that the housing 152 includes a first side plate, a top plate, and a second side plate connected in sequence. The first side plate and the second side plate are opposite to each other in the left-right direction of the refrigeration equipment and are respectively located below the top plate. The lower end of the first side plate is connected to the left side of the base 10, the lower end of the second side plate is connected to the right side of the base 10, and the top plate is located above the base 10.

[0129] Meanwhile, the front baffle 151 can serve as a decorative panel. The front baffle 151 is connected to the front side of the first side panel, the top panel and the second side panel respectively. The back panel 153 discharges the gas in the compressor compartment assembly 1 based on the exhaust port. The back panel 153 is connected to the rear side of the first side panel, the top panel and the second side panel respectively.

[0130] In the case where the hull 15 includes a front baffle 151, a cover 152 and a back plate 153, the water collection tank 17 can be constructed on top of the front baffle 151.

[0131] Based on the solution shown in the above embodiments, the compressor compartment assembly 1 of this utility model integrates heat dissipation, support, water collection, evaporation and rodent prevention functions, which not only plays a role in simplifying parts and optimizing functions, but also plays a role in reducing costs and increasing production line efficiency.

[0132] In the second aspect, such as Figure 4 and Figure 8As shown, this utility model embodiment also provides a refrigeration device, including: a housing 2 and a compressor compartment assembly 1 as described above, the housing 2 being disposed on the upper side of the compressor compartment assembly 1.

[0133] Understandably, the refrigeration equipment can be freezers, refrigerators, and water dispensers with refrigeration functions. The compressor compartment assembly 1 is used to connect the water tray 11, compressor 12, evaporator 14, condenser 132, and throttling element 120. A storage compartment is formed inside the cabinet 2 for storing beverages, fruits, and food. An evaporator is also installed in the storage compartment. The compressor 12, evaporator 14, condenser 132, throttling element 120, and evaporator are connected in sequence to form a closed-loop refrigeration system. The cabinet 2 is open to the user and has a door 3 that can be rotatably installed at the open end of the cabinet 2 to open or close the storage compartment.

[0134] In practical applications, based on the storage temperature requirements of the refrigeration equipment, the storage room can be divided into a cold storage room and a freezer room. Evaporators are installed in both the cold storage room and the freezer room, or only the freezer room is equipped with an evaporator. This can achieve a temperature of approximately 2℃ to 8℃ in the cold storage room and approximately -18℃ or lower in the freezer room.

[0135] Since the refrigeration equipment includes a compressor compartment assembly 1, and the specific structure of the compressor compartment assembly 1 is as described in the above embodiments, the refrigeration equipment shown in this embodiment includes all the technical solutions of the above embodiments. Therefore, it has at least all the beneficial effects achieved by all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0136] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
