Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a condensate drainage structure for an energy chamber, belonging to the field of food purification technology. Background Technology
[0002] Existing food purification equipment generally includes a purification tank and a power supply cabinet for providing energy to the purification equipment above the tank. The power supply cabinet is typically a simple rectangular structure with limited functionality and low space utilization. Our prior patent 2024109612577 discloses a modular industrial food purification device, including a power supply module positioned above the purification tank. This module is housed within a rectangular energy chamber. The problem is that, because the energy chamber operates above the purification tank, and a low ambient temperature is required during food purification to maintain freshness, condensation occurs within the chamber. How to effectively drain this condensation is a pressing issue.
[0003] Based on the problems of existing energy cabin structures, a condensate drainage structure for energy cabins has become a goal pursued by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

Its front and rear ends are connected to the bottom sealing plate and the outer wall of the support leg. The water receiving tray has a drainage hole at the connection point with the outer wall of the support leg.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the cabin includes two top plates and two side panels. The two top plates are obliquely symmetrically arranged extending from the first long crossbeam at the top to both sides and downwards. The side panels are vertically arranged at the free ends of the top plates. At the lower part of the cabin, adjacent to the lower end of the side panels, there is a protruding outer flange. The lower end of the side panels contacts the outer flange. The outer flange is inclined outwards and downwards to receive condensate flowing down the inner and outer surfaces of the top plate and side panels.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the external drainage structure further includes: an upper drainage guide strip disposed on the upper surface of the outer flange, below the lower end of the side panel, the upper drainage guide strip having an opening at the position of the support leg to guide the condensate flowing to the upper surface of the outer flange to the outer wall of the support leg.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the upper drainage guide strip is a vertical plate set on the surface of the outer flange. The upper drainage guide strip on both sides of the opening has a guide section extending towards the support leg, and a channel for flow to the support leg is formed between the two guide sections.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the external drainage structure further includes: a lower drainage guide strip with an L-shaped cross-section located on the lower surface of the outer edge of the bottom sealing plate, wherein the lower drainage guide strip has a drainage hole at the position where it connects with the water receiving tray, for guiding the condensate collected by the lower drainage guide strip to the water receiving tray and then to the outer wall of the support leg.
[0012] The present invention discloses a condensate drainage structure for an energy cabin. This structure incorporates an internal drainage system within the cabin, specifically a condensate collection trough located below the first long crossbeam. This trough collects condensate from the first long crossbeam. The condensate collection trough is positioned between and before / after the vertical beams supporting the first long crossbeam. A drain hole is located at the bottom of the side of the condensate collection trough adjacent to the vertical beam, allowing condensate to drain to the outer wall of the vertical beam. From there, the condensate flows to the bottom surface inside the cabin. Furthermore, the bottom sealing plate of the cabin is designed in a ridge shape, allowing condensate to flow through the inclined bottom sealing plate to the two sides of the cabin's bottom. Drain holes are located at the lower points on both sides of the bottom sealing plate, allowing condensate to drain from the cabin.
[0013] Furthermore, by designing the top surface of the cabin as a ridge shape, the condensate on the inner surface of the top surface can flow to the lower sides, and through the vertically arranged side panels on both sides to the bottom of the bottom sealing plate, and then be discharged from the cabin through the drain hole.

The bottom cover plate has L-shaped drainage guide strips on both sides below it. The drain hole 1 on the bottom cover plate is located at the position corresponding to the support leg. An inclined water receiving tray is set between the drain hole 1 and the outer wall of the support leg. The condensate flowing out of the drain hole 1 is guided to the outer wall of the support leg through the water receiving tray. At the same time, the drainage guide strip has a drain hole 4 at the position corresponding to the water receiving tray. The condensate received by the drainage guide strip on the outer surface of the bottom cover plate is collected and released to the water receiving tray through the drain hole 4. The water receiving tray has a drain hole 3 at the joint with the outer wall of the support leg. The water collected in the water receiving tray is released to the outer wall of the support leg and discharged to the ground.
[0015] In summary, the condensate drainage structure of the energy cabin described in this utility model, by adding drainage components and utilizing the components of the cabin itself, forms a condensate drainage structure. Its design is novel and ingenious, and it can achieve the purpose of diverting condensate from inside and outside the cabin to the ground, avoiding condensate dripping onto the electrical components inside the cabin, causing damage to the components and creating safety risks; at the same time, it can prevent condensate from flowing into the water tank of the food purification equipment below the suspended energy cabin, thus preventing contamination of the food.

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but these preferred embodiments should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] This utility model relates to a condensate drainage structure for an energy chamber. This condensate drainage structure is designed on the energy chamber of a food purifier and aims to guide the condensate inside and outside the energy chamber to the ground through the drainage structure. Therefore, the structure of the energy chamber itself and the legs of the chamber are all part of the condensate drainage structure. In order to clearly express the drainage structure described in this utility model, the structure of the energy chamber is first described as follows.
[0028] See Figure 1-6The figure shows the cabin structure of the energy chamber of the condensate drainage structure of this utility model. The cabin body 1 of the energy chamber is a long box shape, which includes four crossbeams: a first long crossbeam 11 and a second long crossbeam 12 arranged horizontally parallel to each other, and two third long crossbeams 13 arranged symmetrically parallel to each other on both sides below the second long crossbeam 12; the first long crossbeam 11 and the second long crossbeam 12 are connected by several spaced vertical beams 14, which are four vertical beams 14 in this embodiment; the second long crossbeam 12 and the third long crossbeams 13 on both sides are connected by several spaced diagonal beams 15; the first long crossbeam... The top plate 16 on both sides of the 11 and two side panels 18 are provided between the free end of the top plate 16 and the third long crossbeam. The top plate 16 and the side panels 18 can be an integral structure, which can be longitudinally divided into several units for easy manufacturing and installation. The bottom sealing plate 17 is shaped like a roof on the bottom surface of the second long crossbeam 12 and the two third long crossbeams 13. The lower part of the cabin 1, adjacent to the lower end of the side panels 18, or at the third long crossbeam, has an outwardly protruding flange 19. The front and rear ends of the cabin have end sealing plates 110. The cabin 1 has four legs 4 on both sides.
[0029] See Figure 1-9 This invention discloses a condensate drainage structure for an energy cabin, comprising an internal drainage structure 2 mounted on the cabin body 1. This internal drainage structure 2 includes a condensate collection trough 21, which is a flat trough located below a first long crossbeam 11 at the top center of the cabin body 1, for receiving condensate dripping from the first long crossbeam 11. It also includes four vertical beams 14 spaced apart below the first long crossbeam 11 for supporting it, specifically between the first long crossbeam 11 and the second long crossbeam 12. Besides their supporting function, the vertical beams 14 also guide the condensate towards the bottom of the cabin body 1. Because four vertical beams 14 are provided, there are five condensate collection troughs 21, located between the vertical beams 14 and at both ends. The front and rear ends of each condensate collection trough 21 are connected to the adjacent vertical beam 14, which can be done by welding, bonding, or other methods. (See also...) Figure 7The condensate collection tank 21 is rectangular and has baffles 212 on all four sides. At the lower end of the surface of the condensate collection tank 21 adjacent to the vertical beam 14, there is a drain hole 211 for draining condensate to the side wall of the vertical beam 14. The condensate collected by the condensate collection tank 21 flows to the outer surface of the vertical beam 14 through the drain hole 211 and flows down the vertical beam to the bottom of the cabin. Furthermore, a bottom sealing plate 17 of the cabin 1 is provided below the vertical beam 14, or in other words, a bottom sealing plate 17 is provided on the bottom surface of the second long crossbeam 12 and the two third long crossbeams 13. The bottom sealing plate 17 is a ridge shape that extends obliquely downward from the center to both sides for guiding the flow. The ridge-shaped bottom sealing plate 14 can drain the condensate flowing down from the vertical beam 14 to the lower two sides of the bottom sealing plate 17. Drain holes 171 are provided on the two sides of the bottom sealing plate 17. Therefore, the condensate can be discharged from the cabin through the drain holes 171. It can be seen that the internal drainage structure 2 includes a condensate collection tank 21, a vertical beam 14, a ridge-shaped bottom sealing plate 17, and a second drainage hole 171.
[0030] To facilitate the drainage of condensate from the outside of the cabin and from the drain hole 171 to the ground, this invention further includes an external drainage structure 3. The external drainage structure 3 includes four legs 4 located on both sides of the cabin 1. The legs 4 support the cabin 1 and drain the condensate to the ground. Drain hole 171 of the bottom sealing plate 17 is positioned corresponding to the legs 4. A water collection tray 33 is inclinedly positioned between the drain hole 171 and the legs 4. A total of four water collection trays 33 are located on the upper part of the four legs 4 to drain the internal condensate to the surface of the legs 4. See also... Figure 8 , 9 The water receiving tray 33 is a disc-shaped container with open front and rear ends, and has baffles 332 on both sides. Both ends are respectively connected to the drain hole 171 of the bottom sealing plate 17 and the outer wall of the support leg 4. The bottom of the end connected to the outer wall of the support leg 4 has a drain hole 331, which is used to drain the condensate received by the water receiving tray 33 to the surface of the outer wall of the support leg 4, and then flow to the ground through the outer wall of the support leg 4.
[0031] Furthermore, the cabin 1 includes two top plates 16 and side panels 18. In this invention, the top plates 16 are designed to extend obliquely downward from the first long crossbeam 11 at the top to both sides. That is, the two symmetrically arranged top plates 16 are also ridge-shaped, with the middle being higher and the two sides lower. At the lower part of the cabin, adjacent to the lower end of the side panel 18, there is a protruding outer flange 19. The lower end of the side panel 18 contacts the outer flange 19, but is not in a closed state. The outer flange 19 is inclined outward and downward, which is conducive to the discharge of condensate. Since the top plates 16 are designed as ridges, the condensate on the inner and outer surfaces of the top plates 16 and the side panels 18 is guided from the inner and outer surfaces of the top to the upper surface of the outer flange 19 via the side panels 18, and discharged through the inclined outer flange 19.
[0032] Furthermore, to collect and channel condensate from the top plate 16 and side panels 18 of the cabin to the ground, the external drainage structure 3 also includes an upper drainage guide strip 31. The upper drainage guide strip 31 is located on the upper surface of the outer flange 19 and below the lower end of the side panel 18. (See [reference]). Figure 4 , Figure 10 The upper drainage guide strip 31 has a vertical plate 314 arranged vertically along the upper surface of the outer flange. At both ends of the longitudinal direction of the entire cabin, it has baffles 315 extending laterally upwards, which can collect condensate flowing from the inner and outer surfaces of the top plate 16 and side panels 18. The vertical plate 314 of the upper drainage guide strip 31 has an opening 311 at the position of the outrigger 4, which guides the condensate to the outer wall of the outrigger 4. To facilitate the flow of condensate to the outer wall of the outrigger 4, it is preferable that the upper drainage guide strip 31 on both sides of the opening 311 has a guide section 312 extending towards the outrigger, forming a channel 313 between the two guide sections 312. The condensate can flow smoothly to the outer wall of the outrigger 4 via the channel 313 and the downward sloping arrangement of the outer flange 19.
[0033] Furthermore, to drain the condensate on the outer surface of the bottom sealing plate 17 to the ground, the external drainage structure 3 also includes a lower drainage guide strip 32. The lower drainage guide strip 32 is located on the lower surface of both sides of the bottom sealing plate 17 and is arranged longitudinally. Its cross-section is L-shaped, and there are sealing plates 322 at both ends to prevent condensate from flowing out from both ends. Since the bottom sealing plate 17 is a slope, the L-shaped lower drainage guide strip 32 forms a V-shaped guide groove relative to the horizontal plane, which can collect the condensate left on the outer surface of the bottom sealing plate 17. There is a drain hole 321 at the junction of the lower drainage guide strip 32 and the water receiving tray 33, which is used to discharge the condensate collected by the lower drainage guide strip 32 to the water receiving tray 33, and then lead it to the outer wall of the support leg 4 through the water receiving tray 33. Therefore, the external drainage structure 3 includes: an outer flange 19, an upper drainage guide strip 31, a lower drainage guide strip 32, a water receiving tray 33, and a support leg 4, which together guide the condensate outside the cabin to the ground.
[0034] The above description is illustrative only and not restrictive. The present invention aims to provide a condensate drainage structure for an energy cabin. Those skilled in the art will understand that many modifications, variations or equivalents can be made without departing from the spirit and scope defined by the claims, such as increasing or decreasing the number of condensate collection tanks, changing the tilt angle of the top plate and bottom sealing plate, etc., but all of these will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
