Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refrigerator accessories, specifically to a refrigerator evaporation dish. Background Technology

[0002] In most refrigerators on the market today, the evaporator is located at the bottom, near the compressor, allowing it to collect and evaporate moisture using the compressor's heat. Traditionally, the evaporator might have been a simple container, but with technological advancements, improvements have been made. The refrigerator evaporator is now typically located independently within the compressor compartment, with the power cord secured by cable ties or simple clips. This design aims to further integrate power cord management, ensuring that the evaporator not only handles condensation and prevents frost but also effectively secures the power cord, preventing tangles and loosening. However...

[0003] The following defects exist:

[0004] 1. Traditional cable trays have poor compatibility with wire diameters, requiring different clips for different power cord specifications, which increases costs;

[0005] 2. Cleaning or maintenance requires disassembling both the evaporating dish and the power cord, making the operation cumbersome;

[0006] 3. In actual use, users often leave the power cord hanging freely, which affects use or poses a safety hazard. Therefore, it is necessary to improve its practical performance. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention proposes a refrigerator evaporator dish that integrates a flexible clip with the dish body, significantly improving the securing effect and safety of the power cord. The clip, through its own elastic deformation, enables quick installation and removal of the power cord, avoiding the poor wire diameter compatibility of traditional clips. It is compatible with different power cord specifications without requiring the design of multiple clip structures, thus reducing production costs. The flexible clip design allows users to easily release the power cord during cleaning or maintenance without simultaneously disassembling the evaporator dish body and the power cord, simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, the clip's integration with the evaporator dish body fully utilizes the side wall space for cable management, avoiding the clutter caused by exposed power cords. This optimizes the space layout of the compressor compartment and eliminates safety hazards.

[0008] A refrigerator evaporator designed for this purpose includes an evaporator body, wherein the evaporator body is provided with a buckle that has elastic deformation and is used to fix a power cord; the buckle fixes or releases the power cord by its own elastic deformation, so as to realize the detachable installation of the power cord on the buckle.

[0010] The buckle includes a limiting groove with an opening, and a guide surface is provided at the opening of the limiting groove. During the fixing process, the power cord is guided along the guide surface into the limiting groove of the buckle.

[0011] The guide surface is a guide arc surface or a guide slope surface.

[0012] The groove width of the limiting groove has a gradually changing structure to accommodate power lines of different diameters.

[0013] The distance between the two inner sides of the limiting groove gradually decreases along the direction of the power line introduction.

[0014] One end of the limiting groove of the buckle is connected to the body of the evaporating dish, and the other end of the limiting groove of the buckle is provided with a limiting boss for preventing the power cord from leaving the limiting groove. One end of the limiting boss extends upward from the bottom wall of the limiting groove and forms a limiting structure for blocking the power cord from leaving the limiting groove.

[0015] An elastic locking arm is provided on the outer side of the limiting groove of the buckle, and an elastic deformation clearance is provided between the elastic locking arm and the limiting groove to allow the elastic locking arm to undergo elastic deformation.

[0016] The bottom of the limiting groove of the buckle is provided with reinforcing ribs to increase the mechanical strength of the buckle, and the reinforcing ribs form a reinforced structure to prevent the buckle from being deformed by force and squeezing.

[0017] The evaporating dish body is provided with a collection chamber for collecting liquid. The evaporating dish body is located on the upper part of the refrigerator compressor. The evaporating dish body is provided with a hollow vent hole corresponding to the position near the compressor.

[0018] The evaporating dish body is provided with a drainage groove, which extends downward along the height direction of the evaporating dish body to guide the liquid to flow along the lower part of the evaporating dish body.

[0019] The top of the evaporating dish body is provided with an overflow prevention groove to prevent the liquid inside the evaporating dish body from overflowing.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0031] See Figures 1-6A refrigerator evaporator includes an evaporator body 1, wherein the evaporator body 1 is provided with a buckle 2 that has elastic deformation and is used to fix a power cord 3; the buckle 2 fixes or releases the power cord 3 by its own elastic deformation, so that the power cord 3 can be detachably installed on the buckle 2.

[0032] By combining the elastically deformable clip 2 with the evaporating dish body 1, the fixing effect and safety of the power cord 3 are significantly improved. Clip 2 achieves quick installation and removal of the power cord 3 through its own elastic deformation, avoiding the shortcomings of traditional clips in terms of poor wire diameter compatibility. It is compatible with different specifications of power cord 3 without the need for additional clip structures, reducing production costs. The design of the elastic clip 2 allows users to easily release the power cord 3 during cleaning or maintenance without simultaneously disassembling the evaporating dish body 1 and the power cord 3, simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, the clip 2, integrated into the evaporating dish body 1, makes full use of the space on the side wall of the evaporating dish for cable management, avoiding the clutter caused by the power cord 3 being exposed, optimizing the spatial layout of the compressor compartment, and eliminating safety hazards.

[0033] The buckle 2 and the evaporating dish body 1 are integrally formed, and the buckle 2 and the evaporating dish body 1 constitute an inseparable whole.

[0034] The integrated design of the buckle 2 and the evaporating dish body 1 enhances the overall structure and mechanical strength, avoiding the risk of loosening or falling off of separate buckles. The integrated molding process reduces assembly steps and manufacturing complexity, while ensuring the connection stability between the buckle 2 and the evaporating dish body 1, making it less prone to deformation or failure due to vibration or external forces during long-term use. This design also simplifies mold manufacturing and injection molding processes, further saving costs. Since the buckle 2 and the evaporating dish body 1 are inseparable, users do not need to worry about losing the buckle 2 when disassembling the power cord 3, significantly improving maintenance convenience. Furthermore, the integrated structure avoids the fixation failure problems caused by aging screws or clips in traditional separate slots, improving the product's durability and safety.

[0035] The buckle 2 includes a limiting groove 2.1 with an opening, and a guide surface 2.2 is provided at the opening of the limiting groove 2.1. During the fixing process, the power cord 3 is guided into the limiting groove 2.1 of the buckle 2 along the guide surface 2.2.

[0036] The guide surface 2.2 is a guide arc surface or a guide slope surface.

[0037] The combined design of the limiting groove 2.1 and the guide surface 2.2 enables the power cord 3 to be quickly guided and precisely fixed. The guide surface 2.2 is an arc or inclined surface, which can guide the power cord 3 to slide smoothly into the limiting groove 2.1, reducing resistance during installation.

[0038] The groove width of the limiting groove 2.1 has a gradually changing structure to accommodate power lines 3 of different diameters;

[0039] The distance between the two inner sides of the limiting groove 2.1 gradually decreases along the direction of the power line 3.

[0040] The gradient groove width design of the limiting groove 2.1 significantly improves adaptability, making it compatible with power cords 3 of different diameters. The structure, where the groove width gradually decreases along the insertion direction, provides a progressive clamping force to the power cord 3 during insertion, ensuring secure fixation while preventing cable deformation due to excessive tightness or detachment due to excessive looseness. This design solves the problem of traditional slots requiring separate molds for different wire diameters, reducing production costs and inventory management difficulties. The gradient structure also adaptively adjusts the clamping force, reducing wear on the outer sheath of the power cord 3 and extending cable life. Furthermore, this design eliminates the need for manual adjustment of the clips 2; during installation, simply pushing the power cord 3 into the limiting groove 2.1 automatically adapts, improving ease of use and safety.

[0041] One end of the limiting groove 2.1 of the buckle 2 is connected to the evaporating dish body 1, and the other end of the limiting groove 2.1 of the buckle 2 is provided with a limiting boss 2.3 for preventing the power cord 3 from leaving the limiting groove 2.1. One end of the limiting boss 2.3 extends upward from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 2.1 and forms a limiting structure for blocking the power cord 3 from leaving the limiting groove 2.1.

[0042] The limiting boss 2.3 extends upward from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 2.1 to form a blocking structure, effectively preventing the power cord 3 from accidentally detaching from the limiting groove 2.1 under vibration or external force, thus enhancing the reliability of the fixation. The limiting boss 2.3 works in conjunction with the guide surface 2.2, allowing the power cord 3 to smoothly enter the limiting groove 2.1 from the top opening of the buckle 2, while the limiting boss 2.3 restricts the power cord 3 from detaching from the side of the buckle 2 and out of the limiting groove 2.1, ensuring long-term stability. This design is particularly suitable for the high-frequency vibration environment inside the compressor compartment, avoiding the cable loosening problem caused by the lack of an anti-detachment structure in traditional buckles. The height of the limiting boss 2.3 is optimized to provide sufficient blocking force without hindering the disassembly of the power cord 3. During maintenance, only slight elastic deformation is required to remove the cable, balancing safety and convenience.

[0043] The buckle 2 has an elastic locking arm 2.4 on the outer side of the limiting groove 2.1. An elastic deformation clearance is provided between the elastic locking arm 2.4 and the limiting groove 2.1 to allow the elastic locking arm 2.4 to undergo elastic deformation.

[0044] The combination of the elastic clamping arm 2.4 and the elastic deformation clearance provides the latch 2 with greater flexibility and durability. The elastic clamping arm 2.4 deforms when the power cord 3 is inserted to provide clamping force, while the deformation clearance ensures that the clamping arm 2.4 has sufficient room to move, avoiding the risk of breakage due to stress concentration. This design allows the latch 2 to withstand rebound deformation without fatigue failure, extending its service life. The restoring force of the elastic clamping arm 2.4 can adapt to different wire diameters, ensuring a uniform distribution of clamping force and preventing localized compression damage to the insulation layer of the power cord 3.

[0045] The bottom of the limiting groove 2.1 of the buckle 2 is provided with a reinforcing rib 2.5 to increase the mechanical strength of the buckle 2. The reinforcing rib 2.5 forms a reinforcing structure to prevent the buckle 2 from being deformed by force.

[0046] The reinforcing rib 2.5 increases the mechanical strength of the bottom of the limiting groove 2.1, effectively resisting external compression or impact forces and preventing the buckle 2 from deforming and failing due to the high temperature or vibration environment inside the compressor compartment, ensuring that the buckle 2 maintains stable clamping performance over a long period. This design is particularly suitable for applications where the evaporating dish body 1 is close to the high-temperature area of ​​the compressor 4, avoiding a decrease in the fixing function of the plastic parts due to thermal deformation. The reinforcing rib 2.5 also disperses the lateral tension of the power cord 3 on the buckle 2, reducing stress concentration and further improving the reliability and safety of the product.

[0047] The evaporating dish body 1 is provided with a collection chamber for collecting liquid. The evaporating dish body 1 is located on the upper part of the refrigerator compressor 4. The evaporating dish body 1 is provided with a hollow exhaust hole 1.1 at a position close to the compressor 4.

[0048] The design of the collection chamber and vent 1.1 of the evaporating dish body 1 optimizes the evaporation efficiency of condensate. The hollow structure of the vent 1.1 facilitates the flow of heat dissipation air from the compressor 4, accelerating the evaporation of liquid in the collection chamber and preventing water accumulation and bacterial growth. The placement of the evaporating dish body 1 on top of the compressor 4 fully utilizes the heat source, achieving water evaporation without additional energy consumption. This design upgrades the traditional single water collection function into a highly efficient module integrating drainage, evaporation, and cable management, significantly improving space utilization while reducing the layout complexity of the compressor compartment.

[0049] The evaporating dish body 1 is provided with a drainage groove 1.2, which extends downward along the height direction of the evaporating dish body 1 to guide the liquid to flow along the lower part of the evaporating dish body 1.

[0050] The design of the drainage channel 1.2 extending along the height direction of the evaporating dish body 1 ensures directional flow of liquid. When the liquid height in the evaporating dish body 1 reaches the corresponding water level, the liquid is discharged directionally along the drainage channel 1.2.

[0051] The top of the evaporating dish body 1 is provided with an overflow prevention groove 1.3 to prevent the liquid inside the evaporating dish body 1 from overflowing. The overflow prevention groove 1.3 includes a water-blocking rib extending upward along the top of the evaporating dish body 1 and forming a water-blocking rib to prevent the liquid from overflowing outside the evaporating dish body 1.

[0052] The anti-overflow groove 1.3 forms a physical barrier through the water-blocking ribs, effectively preventing the liquid in the evaporating dish body 1 from overflowing to the surrounding area of ​​the evaporating dish body 1 due to shaking, and avoiding short circuits caused by moisture in the electrical components in the compressor compartment.

[0053] The evaporating dish body 1 is provided with a reinforcing rib 1.4 on its side.

[0054] The evaporating dish body 1 is provided with a fixing block 1.5 for fixing.

[0055] The entire installation is completed by fitting the fixing block 1.5 of the evaporating dish body 1 with the screw holes of the refrigerator body. The fixing block 1.5 is fixed to the refrigerator body with screws.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
