Supermarkets and restaurants often use them to display beverages, ice cream, etc., to enhance customers' desire to buy.

[0003] Freezers are used for food storage. When items are opened and closed to be taken out, condensation forms on the inner wall of the freezer due to the hot air outside. Over time, the condensation forms water droplets that fall to the bottom of the inner wall of the freezer, causing water to accumulate inside. This water accumulation can easily lead to the growth of mold inside the freezer.

[0004] Therefore, the freezer needs to be redesigned to have the function of condensate recycling and reuse. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a freezer with recyclable condensate, which has the advantage of condensate recycling and reuse. This solves the problem that when the freezer is opened and closed to take out items, condensate will form on the inner wall of the freezer due to the hot air outside. After long-term use, the condensate will form water droplets and fall to the bottom of the inner wall of the freezer, causing water accumulation inside the freezer. This water accumulation can easily lead to the growth of mold inside the freezer.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a freezer capable of recovering condensate, comprising a freezer body, a door movably connected to the front side of the freezer body via a pin, a foreign object separator connected to the rear bottom of the freezer body, a placement box fixedly connected to the bottom of the freezer body, a collection box for use with the foreign object separator fixedly connected to the rear top of the placement box, a connecting pipe connected to the bottom left of the collection box, a water storage box connected to the right side of the connecting pipe, and the bottom of the water storage box fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box.

A collection box 6, which works in conjunction with the foreign object separator 4, is fixedly connected to the rear of the top of the inner wall of the placement box 5. A connecting pipe 7 is connected to the bottom left of the collection box 6. A water storage box 8 is connected to the right side of the connecting pipe 7. The bottom of the water storage box 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box 5.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the placement box 5 is fixedly connected with anti-slip blocks 16, and there are four anti-slip blocks 16.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the anti-slip block 16, the friction between the placement box 5 and the ground can be increased, preventing the placement box 5 from slipping and moving during use.

[0024] refer to Figure 3 The left side of the placement box 5 has a heat dissipation hole 17, which is elongated.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting heat dissipation holes 17, the control terminal 15 can be cooled to prevent it from being damaged due to overheating.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 A handle 18 is fixedly connected to the front side of cabinet door 2. The handle 18 is U-shaped.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the handle 18, the contact area between the user's hands and the cabinet door 2 can be increased, making it more convenient for the user to move the cabinet door 2.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 The surface of the grip 18 is provided with anti-slip texture 19, which is diamond-shaped.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting anti-slip texture 19, the friction between the user's hands and the handle 18 can be increased, preventing the handle 18 from slipping out of the hand during use.

[0030] refer to Figure 4 A water level sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the water storage box 8. A U-shaped pipe 10 is connected to the right side of the water storage box 8. A water pump 11 is connected to the other end of the U-shaped pipe 10 and located in front of the water storage box 8. A filter cartridge 12 is connected to the output end of the water pump 11. A solenoid valve 13 is connected to the left side of the filter cartridge 12. A drain pipe 14 is connected to the left side of the solenoid valve 13. The left side of the drain pipe 14 extends to the left side of the placement box 5. A control terminal 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement box 5 and located in front of the solenoid valve 13.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the recovered condensate can be filtered and discharged, which is convenient for users.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, condensation water is first generated on the inner wall of the freezer body 1 during cooling. The condensation water falls to the bottom of the inner wall of the freezer body 1. The inclined surface at the bottom of the inner wall of the freezer body 1 guides the condensation water to the foreign object filter 4. After being filtered by the foreign object filter 4, the condensation water falls into the collection box 6. Then, the condensation water in the collection box 6 is transported into the water storage box 8 through the connecting pipe 7. At this time, the condensation water can be recycled. At the same time, the water level sensor 9 detects the water level in the water storage box 8, and the detection data is transmitted to... When the water storage box 8 is about to overflow, the control terminal 15 starts the water pump 11 and opens the solenoid valve 13. The input end of the water pump 11 absorbs the condensate in the water storage box 8 through the U-shaped pipe 10, so that the condensate is discharged from the output of the water pump 11 and enters the filter cartridge 12. The filter cartridge 12 filters the condensate, and the filtered condensate is discharged through the solenoid valve 13 and the drain pipe 14. The discharged condensate is collected in a basin, so that the condensate can be reused, thereby achieving the effect of condensate recycling and reuse.

[0033] In summary, this freezer with recyclable condensate solves the problem of condensation forming on the inner wall of the freezer when items are opened and closed due to hot air. This is achieved by incorporating the freezer body 1, door 2, foreign object separator 4, placement box 5, collection box 6, connecting pipe 7, and water storage box 8. Over time, the condensate forms water droplets that fall to the bottom of the inner wall, leading to water accumulation inside the freezer. This water accumulation easily causes mold to grow inside the freezer.
