[0028] This invention provides the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the various embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. The description includes various specific details to aid understanding, but these details should be considered exemplary only. Therefore, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the various embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, the orientation descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0030] It should be understood that when one element (e.g., the first element) is “connected” to another element (e.g., the second element), the element may be directly connected to the other element, or there may be an intervening element (e.g., the third element) between the element and the other element.
[0031] An embodiment of this utility model provides a condenser 10 water receiving pan structure, such as... Figure 3-8 As shown, it includes:
[0032] The water receiving tray body 100 includes a mounting plate 110 and a base 120. The mounting plate 110 is used to install the condenser 10. The mounting plate 110 is set inside the base 120, and the mounting plate 110 and the base 120 enclose a drainage cavity. A support frame 111 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 110. The lower end of the support frame 111 abuts against the base 120. Both the mounting plate 110 and the support frame 111 are provided with drainage grooves 130. A drainage channel 140 is formed between the outer side wall of the mounting plate 110 and the inner side wall of the base 120. The base 120 is provided with a drainage hole 150. The drainage groove 130, the drainage channel 140 and the drainage hole 150 are connected.
[0033] The drip tray body 100 includes a mounting plate 110 and a base 120. The mounting plate 110 is used to mount the condenser 10 and is positioned above the base 120, serving to fix the condenser 10. The base 120 is the bottom structure of the drip tray, used to hold the condensed water. The mounting plate 110 is set inside the base 120, and the mounting plate 110 and the base 120 enclose a drainage cavity, that is, the mounting plate 110 covers the base 120, and there is a space between the mounting plate 110 and the base 120. This space can be used for drainage or for setting up other structures. A support frame 111 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 110, and the lower end of the support frame 111 abuts against the base 120. The main function of the support frame 111 is to enhance the strength of the drip tray body 100, enabling it to withstand the weight of multiple condensers 10 stacked together, ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.
[0034] Both the mounting plate 110 and the support frame 111 are provided with drainage grooves 130, which are used to guide the flow of condensate. As the condensate flows to the bottom of the mounting plate 110, the drainage grooves 130 can guide the condensate to the drain hole 150. A drainage channel 140 is formed between the outer wall of the mounting plate 110 and the inner wall of the chassis 120. This channel is connected to the drainage grooves 130 and is used to guide the condensate from inside the drip tray to the drain hole 150. The chassis 120 is provided with a drain hole 150, which is connected to the drainage grooves 130 and the drainage channel 140, ultimately draining the condensate from the drip tray. Through this structural design, the condensate of the condenser 10 can be smoothly discharged from the drain hole 150, avoiding the accumulation of condensate in the drip tray. At the same time, the support frame 111 enhances the strength of the drip tray, making it suitable for stacking multiple condensers 10, improving space utilization and equipment stability.
[0035] In some embodiments, the support frame 111 extends along the length of the mounting plate 110.
[0036] The support frame 111 extends along the length of the mounting plate 110, distributing the weight and pressure on the mounting plate 110 evenly across the entire chassis 120. This layout allows the drip tray to better withstand longitudinal and lateral forces when supporting multiple condensers 10, preventing structural deformation or damage due to excessive localized stress. The overall rigidity of the drip tray is significantly improved through the length-extending support frame 111. This design, similar to a beam structure in construction, effectively resists bending and torsion, ensuring the stability of the drip tray when multiple condensers 10 are stacked.
[0037] Furthermore, the drainage channels 130 are spaced apart along the length of the support frame 111.
[0038] The drain channels 130 are distributed at certain intervals along the length of the support frame 111. This layout allows the number and position of the drain channels 130 to be adjusted according to actual needs. By spaced the drain channels 130 along the length of the support frame 111, condensate can be guided to the drain channel 140 and drain hole 150 at multiple locations. This design avoids condensate concentrating in a single drain channel 130, thereby reducing local pressure in the drain channel 140 and improving drainage efficiency. The spaced arrangement of the drain channels 130 does not negatively affect the structural strength of the support frame 111; on the contrary, it forms a more stable structural system with the support frame 111. This design makes the drip tray more stable when supporting multiple condensers 10, while reducing the risk of structural deformation due to excessive length of the drain channels 130.
[0039] In some embodiments, the bottom wall of the water receiving tray body 100 is inclined, and the drain hole 150 is located at the lowest end of the bottom wall of the water receiving tray body 100.
[0040] The bottom wall of the drip tray body 100 is sloped, meaning its height gradually decreases from one end to the other. This sloped design allows condensate to flow naturally to the drain hole 150 under gravity, thereby improving drainage efficiency. The drain hole 150 is located at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the drip tray body 100, i.e., the lowest point in the slope direction. This layout ensures that condensate can drain smoothly, avoiding water accumulation problems caused by improper positioning of the drain hole 150.
[0041] Furthermore, the drain hole 150 is provided on the inner wall of the drain channel 140.
[0042] The integrated design of the drain hole 150 and the drain channel 140 achieves a seamless connection. After the condensate flows into the drain channel 140 from the mounting plate 110, it can be discharged directly through the drain hole 150, avoiding water accumulation or poor drainage caused by improper position of the drain hole 150.
[0043] Furthermore, a first inspection cover 160 is provided above the drain hole 150.
[0044] The first inspection cover 160 is positioned above the drain hole 150, effectively preventing foreign objects (such as dust, debris, tools, etc.) from entering the drain hole 150, thus avoiding blockage and ensuring the normal operation of the drainage system. The design of the first inspection cover 160 allows the drain hole 150 to be easily opened for cleaning or maintenance. This design not only improves maintenance convenience but also reduces the risk of equipment failure due to blockage of the drain hole 150. The inspection cover can be secured using simple clips, screws, etc., making the entire structure more compact and space-saving.
[0045] Furthermore, one end of the first inspection cover 160 is connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 110, and the other end is connected to the side wall of the chassis 120. The bottom of the first inspection cover 160 is hollowed out.
[0046] Through its dual connection with the mounting plate 110 and the chassis 120, the first inspection cover 160 can withstand a certain amount of external force, preventing displacement or damage due to accidental collisions or improper operation. The bottom of the first inspection cover 160 features a perforated design, meaning that the cover does not completely seal the drain hole 150, allowing condensate to flow freely beneath it. This perforated design does not obstruct the flow of condensate, ensuring that the drainage efficiency of the drain hole 150 is not affected. Condensate can drain smoothly through the perforated area beneath the cover, avoiding drainage delays caused by the cover.
[0047] In some embodiments, the top surface of the mounting plate 110 is provided with elongated grooves 112, which are used for draining water from the condenser 10, and drain holes 150 are provided below the mounting plate 110.
[0048] like Figure 9-10 As shown, the elongated grooves 112 spaced apart on the top surface of the mounting plate 110 are specifically designed to guide the condensate drained from the condenser 10. These grooves 112 provide a clear flow path for the condensate, ensuring that it flows quickly and orderly into the drip tray. The spacing of the grooves 112 can be rationally distributed according to the drainage position of the condenser 10, resulting in more uniform drainage. The drain hole 150 is located below the mounting plate 110, allowing the condensate to flow directly from the grooves 112 to the bottom of the mounting plate 110 and then drain directly through the drain hole 150, further optimizing the drainage path.
[0049] Furthermore, the mounting plate 110 is provided with a second inspection cover 170, which is located above the drain hole 150.
[0050] The second access cover 170 prevents foreign objects (such as dust, debris, tools, etc.) from entering the drain hole 150, avoiding blockage and ensuring the normal operation of the drainage system. The cover's design allows for easy opening of the drain hole 150 for cleaning or maintenance. This design not only improves maintenance convenience but also reduces the risk of equipment failure due to blockage of the drain hole 150. The second access cover 170 can be secured using simple clips, screws, etc. This design saves space and enhances the overall structural compactness.
[0051] In some embodiments, the water receiving tray body 100 further includes a support block 180, which is disposed within the drain trough 130.
[0052] A support block 180 is disposed within the drain channel 130. The main function of the support block 180 is to enhance the structural strength of the drain channel 130 and prevent it from deforming. In scenarios where multiple condensers 10 are stacked, the drain channel 130 is prone to deformation due to its internal hollow structure. The support block 180 provides additional support for the drain channel 130, distributing the weight of the condensers 10 and reducing the burden on the drain channel 130. The support block 180 can be rectangular, circular, or other suitable shapes, and its dimensions are determined based on the width and depth of the drain channel 130.
[0053] In some embodiments, the drain hole 150 is connected to a vertical drain connector 200 or a bent drain connector 300.
[0054] The vertical drain connector 200 is a vertically downward-pointing tubular structure used to directly guide the condensate discharged from the drain hole 150 to the lower drain pipe or condenser 10, and then discharge it uniformly from the refrigeration equipment. The bent drain connector 300 is a bend with a certain angle, used to guide the condensate discharged from the drain hole 150 to the outside of the refrigeration equipment. The drain connectors can be tightly connected to the drain hole 150 through threads, snaps, flanges, or other connection methods to ensure the sealing and reliability of the drainage process.
