Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain storage protection technology, specifically to a water receiving tray structure, an evaporator, and a grain cooling unit. Background Technology
[0002] Grain cooling units are cooling equipment specially designed based on a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics of grain storage environment and climate. They are an important guarantee for grain storage facilities to achieve the goals of green grain storage and scientific grain preservation.
[0003] To ensure rapid cooling of grain surfaces in large warehouses, generating units typically require high-static-pressure centrifugal fans to achieve long-distance airflow and remove heat. However, this design leads to the evaporator producing a large amount of condensate after prolonged use. Due to limitations in existing drip tray structures, this condensate is easily blown directly into the grain silo by the fan's air pressure, resulting in excessive grain moisture. This can cause mold and insect infestation, severely impacting grain storage quality and economic benefits. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a water receiving pan structure, evaporator and grain cooling unit to solve the problem that a large amount of condensate generated after long-term use of the equipment in the existing technology will be blown directly into the grain silo from the water receiving pan, affecting grain storage.
[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a water receiving tray structure includes a mounting plate having two mirror-distributed water receiving cavities, with a mounting position for mounting an evaporator body formed between the two water receiving cavities. The two water receiving cavities are respectively located directly below the two sides of the evaporator body, and are used to collect condensate generated by the evaporator body. A wind baffle is fastened to one of the water receiving cavities and installed between the evaporator body and the mounting plate to prevent wind pressure from blowing away the condensate.
[0006] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By having two water receiving chambers mirror-distributed on the mounting plate and located directly below the two sides of the evaporator body, the condensate generated by the evaporator body can be collected from all directions. At the same time, the wind baffle is fastened to one of the water receiving chambers and installed between the evaporator body and the mounting plate, specifically used to block the wind pressure from blowing away the condensate. With the setting of the wind baffle, an effective physical barrier is formed, which can block the wind pressure from interfering with the condensate in the water receiving chamber, ensuring that the condensate flows smoothly into the water receiving chamber and remains stably inside it, preventing the condensate from being carried into the barn by the wind.
[0007] Preferably, each water receiving cavity is provided with a drain outlet that communicates with the corresponding water receiving cavity at one end.
[0008] Preferably, the two drain outlets are located on the same side of the mounting plate.
[0009] Preferably, both ends of the mounting position are provided with lifting blocks, and the bottom of the evaporator body is supported on the two lifting blocks.
[0010] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of each heightening block is a groove.
[0011] Preferably, the wind deflector includes a first plate disposed between the two raising blocks and a second plate disposed on the raising blocks, the first plate being bent downward and connected to the side of the mounting plate.
[0012] Preferably, the second plate is detachably connected to the two heightening blocks.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the second plate furthest from the first plate is bent upward at a 90-degree angle to form a vertical plate, and the vertical plate forms a gap with the side of the evaporator body on which condensate water passes.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a water receiving tray structure, which includes a mounting plate 3 with two mirror-distributed water receiving cavities 302. A mounting position 304 for mounting an evaporator body 2 is formed between the two water receiving cavities 302. The two water receiving cavities 302 are respectively located directly below the two sides of the evaporator body 2. The two water receiving cavities 302 are used to collect the condensate generated by the evaporator body 2. A wind baffle 4 is fastened to one of the water receiving cavities 302 and installed between the evaporator body 2 and the mounting plate 3 to prevent wind pressure from blowing away the condensate.
[0023] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: Two water receiving chambers 302 are mirror-distributed on the mounting plate 3. The two water receiving chambers 302 are located directly below the two sides of the evaporator body 2. This layout can collect the condensate generated by the evaporator body 2 from all directions. At the same time, the wind baffle 4 is fastened to one of the water receiving chambers 302 and installed between the evaporator body 2 and the mounting plate 3. It is specifically used to block the wind pressure from blowing away the condensate. With the setting of the wind baffle 4, an effective physical barrier is formed. It can block the wind pressure from interfering with the condensate in the water receiving chamber 302, ensuring that the condensate flows smoothly into the water receiving chamber 302 and is stably retained, effectively preventing the condensate from being carried into the barn by the wind.
[0024] like Figure 4 As shown, each of the two water inlet chambers 302 has a drain outlet 303 at one end that communicates with the corresponding water inlet chamber 302.
[0025] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: Each water receiving chamber 302 is provided with a connected drain outlet 303 at one end, which allows the condensate collected in the water receiving chamber 302 to be discharged in time, preventing excessive water accumulation and overflow in the chamber.
[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the two drain outlets 303 are located on the same side of the mounting plate 3.
[0027] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: the two drain outlets 303 are set on the same side of the mounting plate 3, which allows the condensate to be discharged in a concentrated manner, which is conducive to connecting the external drainage pipe.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, both ends of the mounting position 304 are provided with lifting blocks 301, and the bottom of the evaporator body 2 is supported on the two lifting blocks 301.
[0029] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: The bottom of the evaporator body 2 is supported on the riser block 301, so that a gap is formed between the evaporator and the mounting plate 3. This gap allows the condensate on the surface of the evaporator to flow more smoothly into the water receiving chambers 302 on both sides by gravity, effectively reducing the accumulation of condensate at the bottom of the evaporator or the situation of condensate flowing around.
[0030] like Figure 4As shown, the cross-sectional shape of each heightening block 301 is a groove shape.
[0031] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: the groove-shaped heightening block 301 reduces its own weight while ensuring that it has sufficient rigidity, which helps to save manufacturing resources.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the wind deflector 4 includes a first plate 401 disposed between two heightening blocks 301 and a second plate 402 disposed on the heightening blocks 301. The first plate 401 is bent downward and connected to the side of the mounting plate 3.
[0033] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: The first plate 401 is bent downwards and connected to the side of the mounting plate 3, forming a close-fitting angle with the mounting plate 3. When the equipment is running, the first plate 401 can directly block the wind pressure, effectively change the airflow direction, prevent the wind pressure from blowing directly into the water receiving cavity 302, greatly reduce the possibility of condensate being blown away, and ensure that the condensate in the water receiving cavity 302 is stably retained.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the second plate 402 is detachably connected to the two height-increasing blocks 301.
[0035] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: the second plate 402 is detachably connected to the two heightening blocks 301, which facilitates the adjustment and installation of the wind deflector 4. The second plate 402 can be conveniently installed on the heightening block 301 in the most suitable position to ensure that the wind deflector 4 can accurately play the role of blocking wind pressure.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the end of the second plate 402 away from the first plate 401 is bent upward at a 90-degree angle to form a vertical plate 403. The vertical plate 403 and the side corresponding to the evaporator body 2 form a gap through which condensate water passes.
[0037] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: The gap formed between the vertical plate 403 and the corresponding side of the evaporator body 2 provides a clear flow path for the condensate. When the condensate generated by the evaporator flows down the side of the evaporator body 2, the vertical plate 403 can guide the condensate directly into the water receiving chamber 302 along the gap, preventing the condensate from flowing or accumulating randomly between the evaporator and the baffle plate 4.
[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, an evaporator including a water receiving tray structure is also provided.
[0039] like Figure 1As shown, a grain cooling unit including an evaporator is also provided, which includes: an indoor unit 1, with an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 respectively opened at both ends of the top of the indoor unit 1, the evaporator being installed inside the grain cooling unit and located between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, wherein the baffle plate 4 is located on the side near the air outlet 102.
[0040] The detailed working process of this embodiment is as follows: The evaporator is located between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102, thus fully utilizing its cooling effect to cool the incoming air. Due to the strong wind pressure at the air outlet 102, the baffle 4 installed near the air outlet 102 effectively prevents condensate from being blown out by the wind. When the cooled air is blown out from the air outlet 102, the wind pressure easily disturbs the condensate in the water collection tray. At this time, the baffle 4 can block the wind pressure, preventing condensate from being blown into the grain silo. This ensures smooth airflow output while avoiding the adverse effects of condensate on the grain, achieving synergistic optimization of airflow control and condensate management.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
