Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of refrigeration equipment accessories technology, and in particular to a sensor bracket and refrigeration equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Sensors, such as temperature sensors, are usually installed on the evaporators of refrigeration equipment like refrigerators to detect the temperature of the evaporator surface, ensuring that the refrigerator can cool efficiently and preventing frost from forming on the evaporator surface.
[0003] In related technologies, the assembly method of sensors is relatively simple. Sensors are usually fixed to a specific part of the evaporator using a sensor bracket. This method has low versatility and flexibility, making it difficult to apply to different models / forms of evaporators and refrigeration equipment, which is not conducive to reducing the production and R&D costs of refrigeration equipment. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, this application provides a sensor bracket and a cooling device, which can improve the versatility and flexibility of installing the sensor bracket in the cooling device.
[0005] Specifically, the following technical solutions are included:
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a sensor bracket, which is provided with a pipe mounting part, a plate connecting part and a sensor mounting part;
[0007] The pipe mounting part is adapted to be connected to the return gas pipe of the evaporator, the plate mounting part is adapted to be connected to the side plate of the evaporator, and the sensor mounting part is adapted to install a sensor.
[0008] In the technical solution of this application, a sensor mounting section is provided to provide installation space for the sensor. Since the sensor bracket is also provided with a pipe connection section and a plate connection section, the sensor bracket can be installed on the return pipe of the evaporator through the pipe connection section and on the side plate of the evaporator through the plate connection section. This can meet the assembly requirements of the sensor in different scenarios, and thus be applicable to different models / forms of evaporators and refrigeration equipment. This improves the versatility and flexibility of the sensor bracket and helps to reduce the production and R&D costs of refrigeration equipment.
[0009] In some possible implementations, the pipe mounting portion extends at least partially in an arc shape to accommodate the bends in the return gas pipe of the evaporator.
[0010] In the technical solution of this application, the curved extension of the pipe connection part is designed to achieve a curved fit between the pipe connection part and the bend of the evaporator pipe, thereby improving the installation stability of the sensor bracket, achieving a limiting effect on the sensor bracket, and preventing the sensor bracket from moving along the straight extension direction due to its installation on the straight extension part of the return gas pipe.
[0011] In some possible implementations, the pipe mounting section includes a straight section and a bent section that are interconnected, the straight section extending in a straight line and the bent section extending in an arc, the straight section being adjacent to the sensor mounting section.
[0012] In the technical solution of this application, the straight section provides rigid support to the sensor mounting part by being adjacent to it, while the bent section is used to limit the position of the sensor bracket and prevent the position of the sensor bracket from changing.
[0013] In some possible implementations, at least one of the pipe mounting portion, the sensor mounting portion, and the plate mounting portion is provided with a groove structure.
[0014] In the technical solution of this application, the sidewall of the groove structure is used to constrain and limit the sensor bracket and the return air pipe / side plate, so as to realize the mating connection between the sensor bracket and the return air pipe / side plate; to provide installation space for the sensor, so that the sensor can be accommodated in the groove structure, and the groove structure has an opening to facilitate the installation and removal of the sensor.
[0015] In some possible implementations, both the sensor mounting portion and the plate mounting portion are provided with a groove structure, and the opening direction of the top of the groove of the sensor mounting portion is opposite to the opening direction of the top of the groove of the plate mounting portion.
[0016] In the technical solution of this application, the sensor mounting part and the plate connecting part form a spatially staggered layout. When the top opening of the groove structure of the plate connecting part is facing downward and is engaged with the top of the side plate, it can be ensured that the top opening of the groove structure of the sensor mounting part is facing upward, preventing the sensor from falling off the sensor mounting part and improving the installation stability of the sensor.
[0017] In some possible implementations, the sensor bracket includes a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall connected in sequence, with the first wall and the third wall facing each other on both sides of the second wall, thereby forming the sensor mounting portion;
[0018] The sensor bracket also includes a fourth wall, a fifth wall, and a sixth wall connected in sequence, with the fourth wall and the sixth wall facing each other on both sides of the fifth wall, thereby forming the pipe mounting part;
[0019] The sensor bracket also includes a seventh wall, which is connected to the end of the third wall away from the second wall and the end of the fourth wall away from the fifth wall, thereby forming the plate mounting part.
[0020] In the technical solution of this application, the plate connection part, the pipe connection part and the sensor mounting part are all groove structures, which are simple in structure, easy and firm to install, and the plate connection part can share the side wall with the pipe connection part and the sensor mounting part, which helps to simplify the size of the sensor bracket and reduce the material cost of the sensor bracket.
[0021] In some possible implementations, at least one of the pipe mounting part, the sensor mounting part, and the plate mounting part is provided with a snap-fit structure.
[0022] In the technical solution of this application, the pipe connection part can be snapped into the return gas pipe, the plate connection part can be snapped into the side plate, and the sensor mounting part can be snapped into the sensor, which has the advantages of simple and reliable connection. At the same time, the elastic deformation capability of the snap-fit structure allows for the detachable and reinstallable sensor bracket, improving the convenience of maintenance and repair. Furthermore, in situations where the temperature around the evaporator is low, problems such as bolt corrosion and difficulty in disassembly caused by conventional bolt connections can be avoided.
[0023] In some possible implementations, the snap-fit structure protrudes from the sidewall of the groove structure, and the snap-fit surface of the snap-fit structure of the pipe mounting part is at least partially arc-shaped.
[0024] In the technical solution of this application, by setting the snap-fit structure of the pipe connection part to have at least a partially arc-shaped snap-fit surface, the contact area between the snap-fit structure and the cylindrical return air pipe is increased. This improves the connection stability between the sensor bracket and the return air pipe, while reducing the local pressure of the sensor bracket on the surface of the return air pipe, and preventing indentations or even damage to the surface of the return air pipe.
[0025] In some possible implementations, the sensor bracket is a one-piece molded part.
[0026] In the technical solution of this application, by setting the sensor bracket as an integral molded part, it is beneficial to simplify the production process, improve the consistency of the sensor bracket, and enhance the overall structural strength of the sensor bracket.
[0027] In a second aspect, this application provides a refrigeration device, which includes an evaporator, a sensor, and a sensor bracket provided in any embodiment of the first aspect. The evaporator includes a side plate and / or an inlet / outlet pipe. The sensor bracket is mounted on the side plate or the inlet / outlet pipe, and the sensor is mounted on the sensor bracket.

Detailed Implementation
[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] The directional terms used in the embodiments of this application, such as "up," "down," and "side," are generally based on the relative relationships shown in the figures. These directional terms are used merely to more clearly describe the relationships between structures, not to describe absolute directions. When the product is placed in different orientations, the orientation may change; for example, "up" and "down" may be interchanged.
[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms used in the embodiments of this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.
[0044] Sensors, such as temperature sensors, are usually installed on the evaporators of refrigeration equipment like refrigerators to detect the temperature of the evaporator surface, ensuring that the refrigerator can cool efficiently and preventing frost from forming on the evaporator surface.
[0045] In related technologies, the assembly method of sensors is relatively simple. Sensors are usually fixed to a specific part of the evaporator using a sensor bracket. This method has low versatility and flexibility, making it difficult to apply to different models / forms of evaporators and refrigeration equipment, which is not conducive to reducing the production and R&D costs of refrigeration equipment.
[0046] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a sensor bracket 1 and a cooling device.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sensor bracket 1 is provided with a pipe connection part 11, a plate connection part 12 and a sensor mounting part 13.
[0048] The pipe connection part 11 is adapted to be connected to the return gas pipe 100 of the evaporator, the plate connection part 12 is adapted to be connected to the side plate 200 of the evaporator, and the sensor mounting part 13 is adapted to install the sensor.
[0049] For example, the sensor bracket 1 is applied to a refrigeration device, which may be, but is not limited to, refrigerators, freezers, blast freezers, air conditioners, ice makers, etc. The refrigeration device has an evaporator, which is the core heat exchange component of the refrigeration device. It is used to absorb heat from the outside by evaporating liquid refrigerant, thereby realizing the refrigeration function.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, the sensor mounting part 13 is used to install a temperature sensor of the refrigeration equipment. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control system of the refrigeration equipment. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the evaporator surface, thereby timely obtaining the frost status of the evaporator, so that the control system can start the defrosting program according to the signal sent by the temperature sensor, and avoid the evaporator surface ice layer affecting the refrigeration efficiency.
[0051] The return pipe 100 of the evaporator, also known as the inlet pipe, inlet and return pipe, is a pipe that connects the outlet of the evaporator and the suction port of the compressor. Its function is to recover the refrigerant in the evaporator and transport the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant vapor back to the compressor for recompression, thereby maintaining the continuous operation of the entire refrigeration cycle.
[0052] The side plates 200 of the evaporator are located at both ends of the evaporator, and the fins of the evaporator are located between the side plates 200 at both ends. The function of the side plates 200 is to fix the copper tubes of the evaporator and protect the fins.
[0053] In some related technologies, the space reserved for sensor installation varies between different models of refrigeration equipment. Sensors in refrigeration equipment can typically only be installed on the return pipe or on the side plate, resulting in a limited assembly method and preventing universal compatibility across different models. The sensor bracket 1 provided in this application embodiment has both a pipe connection part 11 and a plate connection part 12. It can not only be assembled onto the return pipe 100 of the evaporator via the pipe connection part 11, but also onto the side plate 200 of the evaporator via the plate connection part 12. This allows for reliable sensor installation in different models of refrigeration equipment, improving the versatility of the sensor bracket 1.
[0054] The pipe connection part 11 is suitable for connecting with the return gas pipe 100 of the evaporator, and is also suitable for connecting with other pipe structures similar to the return gas pipe 100. Optionally, the pipe connection part 11 may be provided with connection structures such as mounting groove, mounting buckle, adhesive surface, and threaded connection, so as to realize its connection with the return gas pipe 100.
[0055] The plate connecting part 12 is suitable for mating and connecting with the side plate 200 of the evaporator, and is also suitable for mating and connecting with other plate structures similar to the side plate 200. Optionally, the plate connecting part 12 may be provided with a mounting groove, mounting buckle, adhesive surface, threaded connector, or other connecting structures to achieve mating and connecting with the side plate 200.
[0056] Optionally, the sensor mounting part 13 may be provided with a cavity, groove or other accommodating space, and may also be provided with a mounting groove, mounting buckle, adhesive surface, threaded connector or other connecting structure, so as to stably install the sensor in the sensor mounting part 13.
[0057] The sensor bracket 1 provided in this embodiment provides installation space for the sensor by setting a sensor mounting part 13. Since the sensor bracket 1 is also provided with a pipe connection part 11 and a plate connection part 12, the sensor bracket 1 can be installed on the return pipe 100 of the evaporator through the pipe connection part 11 and on the side plate 200 of the evaporator through the plate connection part 12. This can meet the assembly requirements of the sensor in different scenarios, and thus be applicable to evaporators and refrigeration equipment of different models / forms. This improves the versatility and flexibility of the sensor bracket 1 and helps to reduce the production and R&D costs of refrigeration equipment.
[0058] In some embodiments, the pipe connection 11 extends at least partially in an arc shape to accommodate the bend in the evaporator return pipe 100.
[0059] The return pipe 100 of the evaporator usually has a bend to achieve functions such as gas-liquid separation guidance, segmented reflux control, and adaptation to spatial layout.
[0060] The pipe connection 11 may have only a portion of it that is a curved structure, or it may be entirely a curved structure. The curvature of the curved structure of the pipe connection 11 is the same as the curvature of the curved part of the return air pipe 100, so as to facilitate the fitting and installation of the pipe connection 11 onto the return air pipe 100.
[0061] The sensor bracket 1 provided in this application embodiment has a curved pipe connection part 11 structure design, which realizes the curved surface fit between the pipe connection part 11 and the bend of the evaporator pipe, improves the installation stability of the sensor bracket 1, achieves the limiting effect of the sensor bracket 1, and avoids the sensor bracket 1 from moving along the straight extension direction due to being installed on the straight extension part of the return gas pipe 100.
[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pipe connection 11 includes a straight section 111 and a bent section 112 that are interconnected. The straight section 111 extends in a straight line, and the bent section 112 extends in an arc shape. The straight section 111 is adjacent to the sensor mounting section 13.
[0063] In this embodiment, only the bending section 112 of the pipe connection 11 is a curved bending structure. The bending section 112 is adapted to be connected to the bending part of the return air pipe 100, and the straight section 111 is adapted to be connected to the straight pipe part of the return air pipe 100 that extends in a straight line.
[0064] The straight section 111 is adjacent to the sensor mounting part 13, which can avoid positional interference between the sensor mounting part 13 and the bent section 112 and prevent the sensor mounting part 13 from occupying too much space when connected to the bent section 112. At the same time, when the sensor bracket 1 and the return air pipe 100 are connected, the straight section 111 can provide stable rigid support for the sensor mounting part 13.
[0065] Optionally, the sensor mounting part 13 is located on the side of the straight section 111 away from the center of the bent section 112, which can better avoid positional interference between the sensor mounting part 13 and the bent section 112 and ensure that the sensor mounting part 13 provides sufficient installation space for the sensor.
[0066] The sensor bracket 1 provided in this application embodiment has a straight section 111 that provides rigid support to the sensor mounting part 13 by being adjacent to it, while the bent section 112 is used to limit the position of the sensor bracket 1 and prevent the position of the sensor bracket 1 from changing.
[0067] In some embodiments, at least one of the pipe connection portion 11, the sensor mounting portion 13, and the plate connection portion 12 is provided with a groove structure.
[0068] The groove structure has the advantages of simple structure, convenient and firm installation.
[0069] When the pipe connection part 11 and / or the plate connection part 12 are provided with a groove structure, the side wall of the groove structure is used to constrain and limit the sensor bracket 1 and the return air pipe 100 / side plate 200, so as to realize the mating connection between the sensor bracket 1 and the return air pipe 100 / side plate 200.
[0070] When the sensor mounting section 13 is provided with a groove structure, the groove structure provides mounting space for the sensor, allowing the sensor to be accommodated in the groove structure. At the same time, the groove structure has an opening, which facilitates the installation and removal of the sensor.
[0071] In some embodiments, both the sensor mounting portion 13 and the plate connecting portion 12 are provided with a groove structure, and the top opening direction of the groove structure of the sensor mounting portion 13 is opposite to the top opening direction of the groove structure of the plate connecting portion 12.
[0072] It is understood that the groove structure includes a connected bottom wall and side walls, and the aforementioned "top" refers to the side of the groove structure opposite to the bottom wall.
[0073] The sensor bracket 1 provided in this application embodiment has a spatially staggered arrangement of the sensor mounting part 13 and the plate connecting part 12. When the top opening of the groove structure of the plate connecting part 12 is downward and snapped onto the top of the side plate 200, it can ensure that the top opening of the groove structure of the sensor mounting part 13 is upward, preventing the sensor from falling out of the sensor mounting part 13 and improving the installation stability of the sensor.
[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sensor bracket 1 includes a first wall 131, a second wall 132, and a third wall 133 connected in sequence. The first wall 131 and the third wall 133 face each other on both sides of the second wall 132, thereby forming a sensor mounting portion 13. The sensor bracket 1 also includes a fourth wall 113, a fifth wall 114, and a sixth wall 115 connected in sequence. The fourth wall 113 and the sixth wall 115 face each other on both sides of the fifth wall 114, thereby forming a pipe connection portion 11. The sensor bracket 1 also includes a seventh wall 121, which is connected to the end of the third wall 133 away from the second wall 132 and the end of the fourth wall 113 away from the fifth wall 114, thereby forming a plate connection portion 12.
[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, the sensor mounting portion 13, the pipe connection portion 11, and the plate connection portion 12 each form a U-shaped groove structure. Specifically, the second wall 132 is the bottom wall of the sensor mounting portion 13, and the first wall 131 and third wall 133 are the side walls of the sensor mounting portion 13; the fifth wall 114 is the bottom wall of the pipe connection portion 11, and the fourth wall 113 and sixth wall 115 are the side walls of the pipe connection portion 11; simultaneously, the seventh wall 121 is the bottom wall of the plate connection portion 12, and the second wall 132 and fourth wall 113 are the side walls of the plate connection portion 12. The top opening direction of the plate connection portion 12 is opposite to the top opening direction of both the pipe connection portion 11 and the sensor mounting portion 13.
[0076] In this embodiment, the plate connecting part 12, the pipe connecting part 11 and the sensor mounting part 13 are all groove structures, which are simple in structure, easy and firm to install, and the plate connecting part 12 can share the side wall with the pipe connecting part 11 and the sensor mounting part 13, which helps to simplify the size of the sensor bracket 1 and reduce the material cost of the sensor bracket 1.
[0077] In some embodiments, at least one of the pipe connection portion 11, the sensor mounting portion 13, and the plate connection portion 12 is provided with a snap-fit structure 14.
[0078] For example Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pipe connection part 11, the sensor mounting part 13 and the plate connection part 12 are all provided with a snap-fit structure 14.
[0079] For example, the snap-fit structure 14 is a plastic part with elastic deformation capability.
[0080] By incorporating a snap-fit structure 14 in at least one of the pipe connection part 11, sensor mounting part 13, and plate connection part 12, the pipe connection part 11 can snap-fit with the return gas pipe 100, the plate connection part 12 can snap-fit with the side plate 200, and the sensor mounting part 13 can snap-fit with the sensor, offering advantages of simple and reliable connection. Simultaneously, the elastic deformation capability of the snap-fit structure 14 allows for the detachable and reinstallable sensor bracket 1, improving the convenience of maintenance and repair. Furthermore, in low-temperature environments around the evaporator, problems such as bolt corrosion and disassembly difficulties caused by conventional bolt connections can be avoided.
[0081] Optionally, when the plate connecting part 12 is provided with a snap-fit structure 14, the side plate 200 is provided with a hole structure or groove structure for engaging with the snap-fit structure 14, so as to facilitate the snap-fit engagement between the plate connecting part 12 and the side plate 200.
[0082] In some embodiments, the snap-fit structure 14 protrudes from the sidewall of the groove structure, and the snap-fit surface 141 of the snap-fit structure 14 of the pipe connection portion 11 is at least partially arc-shaped.
[0083] For example, when the pipe connection part 11 is provided with a snap-fit structure 14, the snap-fit structure 14 may protrude from the fourth wall 113 and / or the sixth wall 115; when the sensor mounting part 13 is provided with a snap-fit structure 14, the snap-fit structure 14 may protrude from the first wall 131 and the third wall 133; when the plate connection part 12 is provided with a snap-fit structure 14, the snap-fit structure 14 may protrude from the second wall 132 and the fourth wall 113.
[0084] The snap-fit surface 141 of the snap-fit structure 14 is the side surface facing the component to be snapped (e.g., the return air pipe 100, the side plate 200, or the sensor). By setting the snap-fit surface 141 of the snap-fit structure 14 of the pipe connection part 11 to be at least partially arc-shaped, the contact area between the snap-fit structure 14 and the cylindrical return air pipe 100 is increased. This improves the connection stability between the sensor bracket 1 and the return air pipe 100, while reducing the local pressure of the sensor bracket 1 on the surface of the return air pipe 100, preventing indentations or even damage to the surface of the return air pipe 100.
[0085] In some embodiments, the sensor bracket 1 is a one-piece molded part.
[0086] For example, the sensor bracket 1 is an injection molded part, manufactured using an injection molding process.
[0087] By making the sensor bracket 1 a one-piece molded part, it is beneficial to simplify the production process, improve the consistency of the sensor bracket 1, and enhance the overall structural strength of the sensor bracket 1.
[0088] This application embodiment also provides a refrigeration device, which includes an evaporator, a sensor, and a sensor bracket 1 provided in any of the above embodiments. The evaporator includes a side plate 200 and / or an inlet / outlet pipe 100. The sensor bracket 1 is installed on the side plate 200 or the inlet / outlet pipe 100, and the sensor is installed on the sensor bracket 1.
[0089] Refrigeration equipment can be, but is not limited to, refrigerators, freezers, blast freezers, air conditioners, ice makers, etc. Refrigeration equipment includes an evaporator, which is the core heat exchange component of the equipment. The evaporator absorbs heat from the outside environment through the evaporation of liquid refrigerant, thereby achieving the refrigeration function.
[0090] The refrigeration equipment provided in this application embodiment provides a sensor mounting space for the sensor by setting a sensor bracket 1 and utilizing the sensor mounting part 13. Since the sensor bracket 1 is also provided with a pipe connection part 11 and a plate connection part 12, the sensor bracket 1 can be installed on the return gas pipe 100 of the evaporator through the pipe connection part 11 and on the side plate 200 of the evaporator through the plate connection part 12. This can meet the assembly requirements of the sensor in different scenarios, thus making it suitable for different models / forms of evaporators and refrigeration equipment, improving the versatility and flexibility of the sensor bracket 1, and helping to reduce the production and R&D costs of refrigeration equipment.
