Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, specifically to a sunken unit freezer. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent application number ZL202221481860.8 discloses a refrigeration device, which includes: a cabinet, a water receiving component, and a condenser fan; the cabinet is provided with a compressor compartment with a mounting base plate, and the water receiving component has a first water holding part, a second water holding part, and a connecting part. The first water holding chamber of the first water holding part is connected to the second water holding chamber of the second water holding part through the connecting chamber of the connecting part, so that the water level of the first water holding chamber and the water level of the second water holding chamber are equal, so that the condensate can fill the bottom of the first water holding part and the second water holding part.

[0003] The mounting base is a flat structure, which results in a relatively high compressor compartment. This makes the entire refrigeration equipment relatively tall, which takes up transportation space and requires more packaging materials.

[0004] The water collection components and condenser fan are installed separately on the same compressor on the mounting base plate, which occupies a large installation space and results in a large mounting base plate area. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a sunken refrigerator unit with a downwardly recessed groove on the mounting plate, allowing the entire refrigeration unit to be installed in a sunken position, thereby significantly reducing the overall height of the sunken compartment. This design avoids the problem of excessively high compressor compartment caused by traditional flat mounting plates, thus optimizing the overall height of the refrigerator.

[0006] A recessed unit freezer designed for this purpose includes a cabinet body, and the recessed unit freezer further includes:

[0007] The sunken cabinet is located at the bottom of the cabinet and has a downwardly extending groove that protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the cabinet. The groove of the sunken cabinet and the cabinet form an installation cavity.

[0008] The refrigeration unit is installed on the lower recess of the sunken nacelle, and the refrigeration unit is located inside the installation cavity.

[0009] The sunken nacelle is equipped with a set of movable wheels at its bottom, and the lower groove is located above the bottom surface of the movable wheels.

[0010] The sunken nacelle includes a mounting plate, a recessed groove on the mounting plate, and connecting plates on all four sides of the mounting plate to increase its mechanical strength. The bottom of the connecting plates on the front, back, left and right sides of the mounting plate is provided with a set of movable wheels.

[0011] The connecting plate is provided with a bending section to increase mechanical strength.

[0012] The refrigeration unit includes a condenser and a cooling fan for auxiliary heat dissipation of the condenser;

[0013] Both the condenser and the cooling fan are equipped with fixing blocks that are fixed to the bottom wall of the lower groove.

[0014] The refrigeration unit includes a compressor connected to a condenser;

[0015] A water collection box for collecting condensate is provided between the condenser's cooling fan and the compressor;

[0016] The condenser, cooling fan, water collection box, and compressor are arranged linearly along the same axis, and the condenser, cooling fan, water collection box, and compressor are installed on the lower groove of the sunken machine compartment along the length of the lower groove.

[0017] An exhaust pipe is installed on the water collection box between the compressor and the condenser. When the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows through the exhaust pipe, it promotes the evaporation of liquid in the water collection box.

[0018] The water receiving box is equipped with an overflow pipe, which is vertically installed inside the water receiving box from the bottom wall. The bottom wall of the recessed compartment is provided with a drain hole aligned with the overflow pipe.

[0019] The sunken nacelle is equipped with ventilation holes that work in conjunction with the cooling fan;

[0020] The ventilation holes are located on the inner bottom wall of the groove under the mounting plate.

[0021] The cabinet includes a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, and a right panel that are erected vertically. Ventilation holes are provided on the upper part, lower part, and / or left and right sides of the front panel. The cabinet also includes an upper cover plate located above the refrigeration unit. The recessed groove of the sunken hopper forms an installation cavity with the upper cover plate, the front panel, the rear panel, the left panel, and the right panel.

[0022] The sunken nacelle includes a mounting plate with a recessed groove; a connecting plate is provided on the outer periphery of the mounting plate, and the front plate, rear side plate, left side plate and right side plate are respectively fixed to the corresponding connecting plate.

[0023] The top cover is at least partially flat.

[0024] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] The mounting plate features a downward-recessed groove, allowing the refrigeration unit to be installed in a sunken configuration, significantly reducing the overall height of the sunken compartment. This design avoids the problem of excessively high compressor compartments caused by traditional flat mounting plates, thus optimizing the overall height of the freezer. Because of the reduced height of the sunken compartment, the freezer occupies less vertical space during transportation, reducing the amount of packaging materials needed and lowering packaging costs. Furthermore, the recessed structure of the mounting plate enhances its structural strength. The sunken design also lowers the freezer's center of gravity, improving its stability.

[0032] 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.

[0033] See Figures 1-6 A recessed freezer unit includes a cabinet body 1, and the recessed freezer unit further includes:

[0034] The sunken cabinet 2 is located at the bottom of the cabinet 1. The sunken cabinet 2 has a downwardly extending groove 202 that protrudes downward from the bottom surface of the cabinet 1. The groove 202 of the sunken cabinet 2 and the cabinet 1 form an installation cavity 101.

[0035] The refrigeration unit 3 is installed on the lower groove 202 of the sunken machine compartment 2 and is located in the mounting cavity 101.

[0036] The mounting plate 201 has a downwardly recessed groove 202, allowing the refrigeration unit 3 to be installed in a sunken configuration, thus significantly reducing the overall height of the sunken compartment 2. This design avoids the problem of excessively high compressor compartments caused by traditional flat mounting bases, optimizing the overall height of the freezer. Due to the reduced height of the sunken compartment 2, the freezer occupies less vertical space during transportation, reducing the amount of packaging materials used and lowering packaging costs. Furthermore, the recessed groove 202 structure of the mounting plate 201 enhances the structural strength of the mounting plate 201. The sunken design also lowers the freezer's center of gravity, improving its stability.

[0037] The bottom of the sunken nacelle 2 is equipped with a set of movable wheels 4, and the lower groove 202 is located above the bottom surface of the set of movable wheels 4.

[0038] After the lower groove 202 protrudes downward, it prevents it from contacting the ground. Therefore, the existing movable wheel set 4 is used to support the mounting plate 201, and the vertical spacing between the existing movable wheel set 4 and the ground is used to reasonably optimize the installation space of the refrigeration unit 3.

[0039] The recessed groove 202 of the sunken compartment 2 protrudes downward, which lowers the center of gravity of the freezer, improves the stability of the equipment, and makes the integration of the sunken compartment 2 and the cabinet 1 more compact.

[0040] The sunken machine compartment 2 includes a mounting plate 201, a recessed groove 202 is provided on the mounting plate 201, and connecting plates 203 are provided on all four sides of the mounting plate 201 to increase its mechanical strength. The bottom of the connecting plates 203 on the front, back or left and right sides of the mounting plate 201 is provided with a set of movable wheels 4.

[0041] The connecting plate 203 serves to fix and increase the mechanical strength of the sunken nacelle 2, and to increase the support capacity of the mounting plate 201.

[0042] The connecting plate 203 is provided with a bending portion 204 for increasing mechanical strength. The bending portion 204 is used to increase the mechanical strength of the connecting plate 203 and make it less prone to deformation.

[0043] The refrigeration unit 3 includes a condenser 301 and a cooling fan 302 for auxiliary heat dissipation of the condenser 301.

[0044] Both the condenser 301 and the cooling fan 302 are provided with fixing blocks 303 that are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the lower groove 202.

[0045] The refrigeration unit 3 includes a compressor 304 connected to a condenser 301;

[0046] A water collection box 305 for collecting condensate is provided between the heat dissipation fan 302 and the compressor 304 of the condenser 301;

[0047] The condenser 301, cooling fan 302, water collection box 305, and compressor 304 are arranged linearly along the same axis, and are mounted on the lower groove 202 of the sunken hopper 2 along the length of the lower groove 202. This linear arrangement design makes the structure of the refrigeration unit 3 more compact, eliminating the dispersed arrangement of the condenser 301, cooling fan 302, water collection box 305, and compressor 304, and concentrating them in a linear position in the same direction, saving installation space and further reducing material costs.

[0048] An exhaust pipe 306 is installed on the water collection box 305 between the compressor 304 and the condenser 301. When the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant flows through the exhaust pipe 306, it promotes the evaporation of liquid in the water collection box 305, thus avoiding the problem of bacterial growth or corrosion caused by long-term accumulation of condensate.

[0049] The water receiving box 305 is equipped with an overflow pipe 307, which is vertically installed inside the water receiving box 305 from the bottom wall. The bottom wall of the recessed groove 202 of the sunken machine compartment 2 is provided with a drain hole 206 aligned with the overflow pipe 307. When the water level inside the water receiving box 305 is too high, the liquid is discharged outside the sunken machine compartment 2 along the overflow pipe 307 and the drain hole 206, preventing the cooling fan 302 or compressor 304 from getting damp due to excessive water level in the water receiving box 305, thus improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0050] The sunken nacelle 2 is provided with ventilation holes 207 that cooperate with the cooling fan 302;

[0051] The ventilation holes 207 are located on the inner bottom wall of the recess 202 under the mounting plate 201. This ensures efficient heat dissipation for the condenser 301 and compressor 304. This design avoids the heat accumulation problem caused by space constraints in traditional heat dissipation structures, thus extending the service life of the refrigeration unit 3.

[0052] The cabinet 1 includes a front panel 102, a rear side panel 104, a left side panel, and a right side panel that are erected vertically. Ventilation holes 207 are provided on the upper part, lower part, and / or left and right sides of the front panel 102. The cabinet 1 also includes an upper cover plate 103 located on the upper part of the refrigeration unit 3. The lower groove 202 of the sunken machine compartment 2 forms an installation cavity 101 between the upper cover plate 103, the front panel 102, the rear side panel 104, the left side panel, and the right side panel.

[0053] The sunken nacelle 2 includes an installation plate 201, on which a recessed groove 202 is provided; a connecting plate 203 is provided on the outer periphery of the installation plate 201, and the front plate 102, the rear side plate 104, the left side plate and the right side plate are respectively fixed to the corresponding connecting plate 203.

[0054] The top cover 103 is at least partially flat.

[0055] 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.
