Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of refrigerator technology, and particularly relates to an exhaust pipe assembly, a refrigeration system and a refrigerator. Background Technology

[0002] Refrigerator noise is one of the indicators of refrigerator quality. For refrigerators, if the exhaust pipe inside the compressor compartment is stuck on the water tray, the exhaust pipe will vibrate when the compressor discharges, which may cause the exhaust pipe to collide with the water tray, producing a buzzing resonance or abnormal noise, reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0030] 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 a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] In the existing structure, the exhaust pipe is fixed inside the water collection pan in order to secure it. This causes resonance when the exhaust pipe comes into contact with the water collection pan, and there is also resonance noise between the water collection pan and the bottom plate of the compressor compartment.

[0032] To reduce vibration and noise between the exhaust pipe and other components, embodiments of this application provide an exhaust pipe assembly, a refrigeration system, and a refrigerator, which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an exhaust pipe assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Exemplarily, the exhaust pipe assembly 100 includes an exhaust pipe 110 and a composite water-absorbing element 120.

[0034] The exhaust pipe 110, also known as the exhaust connection pipe, connects to the compressor's exhaust port at one end and to the condenser in the refrigeration system at the other end. In the refrigeration system, the compressor exhaust pipe delivers high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas to the condenser, where it cools and condenses the refrigerant into a liquid. The liquid then passes through an expansion valve into the evaporator, where it evaporates, absorbing heat and achieving the cooling effect. The exhaust pipe 110 can have a coiled, bent shape to reduce its overall space requirements. The diameter of the exhaust pipe 110 is not limited; it can be a uniform diameter exhaust pipe or a variable diameter exhaust pipe.

[0035] The composite water-absorbing component 120 has a composite structure. On the one hand, the composite water-absorbing component 120 can absorb water, that is, absorb defrosting water to achieve the same effect as the water tray, thus eliminating the need for the water tray and avoiding collision between the water tray and the exhaust pipe 110. On the other hand, the composite water-absorbing component 120 is relatively soft and will not make collision noise when in contact with the exhaust pipe 110 or the bottom plate of the compressor compartment.

[0036] For example, the composite absorbent 120 has a receiving space, an exhaust pipe 110 is disposed in the receiving space, and the exhaust pipe 110 is in flexible contact with the composite absorbent 120.

[0037] In the exhaust pipe assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment, the composite water-absorbing component 120 absorbs the defrosting water, thereby eliminating the need for a water tray and avoiding contact and collision noise between the exhaust pipe 110 and the water tray. Furthermore, through the flexible contact between the composite water-absorbing component 120 and the exhaust pipe 110, that is, the composite water-absorbing component 120 can also make flexible contact with other components, thereby further reducing the vibration noise between the exhaust pipe 110 and the composite water-absorbing component 120 and other components.

[0038] Please see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is an exploded structural diagram of the exhaust pipe assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Exemplarily, the composite absorbent component 120 includes an elastic portion 122 and an absorbent portion 124. The elastic portion 122 is disposed below the exhaust pipe 110 to support the exhaust pipe 110. The elastic portion 122 is made of an elastic or flexible material to reduce collision noise when the elastic portion 122 comes into contact with other components. The absorbent portion 124 is disposed above the exhaust pipe 110 and is connected to the elastic portion 122 to fix the exhaust pipe 110 between the elastic portion 122 and the absorbent portion 124. It is understood that the space formed between the elastic portion 122 and the absorbent portion 124 is also a receiving space, in which the exhaust pipe 110 is received. The elastic portion 122 and the absorbent portion 124 can be connected by means such as adhesive bonding. Since both the elastic portion 122 and the absorbent portion 124 are non-rigid components, they can be bonded together structurally by bending. Of course, the elastic part 122 and the absorbent part 124 can also be connected by adding a connector, that is, by bonding the elastic part 122 and the absorbent part 124 to the connector respectively.

[0039] The elastic portion 122 and the water-absorbing portion 124 have equal areas, and the projection of the exhaust pipe 110 onto the elastic portion 122 is located within the elastic portion 122, in order to improve the aesthetics of covering the exhaust pipe 110 and prevent the exhaust pipe 110 from being exposed and colliding with other rigid devices.

[0040] It should be noted that if the absorbent part can only absorb water, the continuous flow of defrosting water into the absorbent part will cause leakage, affecting the environment inside the compressor compartment. To reduce interference with the environment inside the compressor compartment, the absorbent part 124 in this embodiment can be made of microfiber cloth. Microfiber cloth has high water absorption and is made of extremely fine fibers. The gaps between the fibers can quickly absorb and lock in moisture, and the water absorption capacity is usually several times its own weight. Furthermore, microfiber cloth can dry quickly. After absorbing moisture, the microfiber cloth can evaporate the moisture relatively quickly, ensuring dryness. In addition, the environment inside the compressor compartment is usually higher than the ambient temperature due to the heat generated when the compressor is working. This further accelerates the evaporation of moisture from the microfiber cloth, preventing moisture retention from polluting the environment inside the compressor compartment. In addition, microfiber cloth is durable, mildew-proof, antibacterial, and environmentally friendly. It is wear-resistant, can be washed and used repeatedly, and has a long service life. Some microfiber cloths are specially treated to have antibacterial and mildew-proof functions, making them suitable for humid environments. Furthermore, microfiber cloth can be reused, reducing waste and conforming to the concept of environmental protection.

[0041] In the manufacturing process, the absorbent part 124 can be a plate-like structure of a certain thickness composed of multiple layers of microfiber cloth to improve the water absorption capacity.

[0042] Of course, the material of the absorbent part 124 can also be a sponge, which can absorb water and reduce the risk of the exhaust pipe 110 colliding with other devices; or it can be made of a composite layer structure of sponge and microfiber cloth, which can be adapted to the needs of actual use. The material of the absorbent part 124 can also be a water-absorbing resin.

[0043] Please combine Figure 2 And see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, Figure 3 This is another structural schematic diagram of the exhaust pipe assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 for Figure 3The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the exhaust pipe assembly along line AA. It should be noted that, since the microfiber cloth is less flexible than a sponge, to further improve the flexibility of the absorbent portion 124 and reduce collision noise with other components, the composite absorbent component 120 of this embodiment also includes a flexible component 126. The flexible component 126 is arranged around the absorbent portion 124, and the absorbent portion 124 is connected to the elastic portion 122 through the flexible component 126. For example, the side of the flexible component 126 facing away from the exhaust pipe 110 is higher than the side of the absorbent portion 124 facing away from the exhaust pipe 110, thus forming a water-collecting groove around the flexible component 126 and the absorbent portion 124, which can collect defrost water and reduce the outflow of defrost water from the absorbent portion 124. Furthermore, the side of the flexible component 126 facing the elastic portion 122 can be lower than the side of the absorbent portion 124 facing the elastic portion 122, which provides space for the placement of the exhaust pipe 110 and facilitates the connection between the elastic portion 122 and the absorbent portion 124. Of course, the side of the flexible member 126 facing the elastic part 122 can also be flush with the side of the water-absorbing part 124 facing the elastic part 122, so as to facilitate the positioning and installation of the flexible member 126 and the water-absorbing part 124.

[0044] The elastic part 122 is used to support the exhaust pipe 110 and to prevent the exhaust pipe 110 and itself from colliding with other devices. The material of the elastic part 122 can be a sponge, which can absorb some of the water that cannot be absorbed or leaked by the water-absorbing part 124, and can also avoid abnormal noise caused by rigid collision, thereby reducing the noise in the compressor compartment.

[0045] In some embodiments, if a large amount of water needs to be contained, the elastic part 122 can be made into a composite structure of sponge and microfiber cloth, that is, the sponge and microfiber cloth are layered, which can not only absorb water and dry quickly, but also prevent collision noise.

[0046] Please see Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 This is another structural schematic diagram of the exhaust pipe assembly provided in the embodiments of this application. Of course, the composite water-absorbing component 120 is not limited to the above-described composition. In some embodiments, the composite water-absorbing component 120 includes a composite layer comprising multiple sequentially stacked elastic layers 127 and water-absorbing layers 128. For example, the first layer can be set as the elastic layer 127 to facilitate flexible contact with other devices, the second layer as the water-absorbing layer 128, and so on, with the last layer being the water-absorbing layer 128 to collect defrost water. The material of the water-absorbing layer 128 can be microfiber cloth, and the material of the elastic layer 127 can be sponge, thereby achieving both the absorption and quick drying of defrost water and flexible contact with other devices, reducing the probability of noise generation.

[0047] The composite layer is provided with a placement groove 129, which is used to accommodate the exhaust pipe 110. The placement groove 129 is also a receiving space, and its shape can be adapted to the exhaust pipe 110.

[0048] To prevent excessive defrosting water, the composite absorbent 120 in this embodiment may further include an absorbent 121, which is connected to the composite layer and covers the exhaust pipe 110. The absorbent 121 may be made of microfiber cloth. To improve the absorbency of the microfiber cloth, flexible elements may be provided around the absorbent 121. This prevents the microfiber cloth from colliding with other components and also allows defrosting water to be collected more precisely and absorbed by the microfiber cloth.

[0049] This application also provides a refrigeration system, which includes a compressor and an exhaust pipe assembly. The exhaust port of the compressor is connected and communicates with the exhaust pipe of the exhaust pipe assembly.
