Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of warehousing technology, specifically a horizontal freezer that uses a decondensation pipe to prevent condensation on the glass door. Background Technology
[0002] In the commercial and residential refrigeration equipment sector, horizontal freezers are widely used in food refrigeration and freezing storage due to their large storage capacity and ease of access. Among them, horizontal freezers with glass doors are particularly popular because they allow for direct observation of the stored items. However, in practical use, horizontal freezers with glass doors consistently face the technical challenge of condensation easily forming on the glass surface.
[0003] When the inside of a freezer is at a low temperature, there is a significant temperature difference between it and the outside environment. Water vapor in the air easily condenses into small water droplets upon contact with the cool glass surface, forming condensation. This condensation not only obscures the glass surface, affecting the user's view of the items inside, but it can also cause water droplets to fall inside or outside the freezer. If these droplets enter the freezer, they may contaminate the stored food, affecting its quality and safety.
[0004] Currently, the solutions to the condensation problem on glass doors are relatively limited in the market. Some products attempt to reduce the probability of condensation by increasing glass thickness or using double-glazed windows, but these methods are costly and their anti-condensation effect is not ideal, especially in high-humidity environments where condensation cannot be effectively prevented. Other products temporarily alleviate the condensation problem by applying an anti-fog coating to the glass surface, but this coating is prone to wear and tear after long-term use, requiring regular maintenance and replacement, increasing the user's operating costs and maintenance burden. Therefore, developing a horizontal freezer that can efficiently prevent condensation on glass doors, make rational use of energy, and effectively treat condensation has become an urgent technical need to be addressed in the industry. Utility Model Content

The support frame has two sets of water collection chambers inside, and a decondensation pipe is also installed inside the support frame, with the decondensation pipe located between the two sets of water collection chambers. The top cover includes a bracket and glass. The bracket is disposed inside the glass, and an absorbent cloth is disposed between the bracket and the glass. One end of the absorbent cloth is disposed inside the water collection tank.
[0007] Preferably, a plurality of squeezing wheels are fixedly installed inside the water collection chamber. The squeezing wheels are close to the inner wall of the water collection chamber, and the wheels of the squeezing wheels correspond to the absorbent cloth. The squeezing wheels squeeze water out of the absorbent cloth.

[0028] Example 1: This embodiment provides a horizontal freezer that uses a decondensation pipe to prevent condensation on the glass door, and has the following technical features.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-8 A horizontal freezer that uses a decondensation pipe to prevent condensation on the glass door includes a freezer 11 and a cover assembly 12. The freezer 11 is detachably mounted on the upper part of the cover assembly 12. The freezer 11 includes an upper cover 13, a lower cover 14 and a support frame 15. The upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14 are both located on the upper part of the support frame 15, and the support frame 15 is connected to the freezer 11. The support frame 15 has two sets of water collection chambers 16 inside, and the support frame 15 also has a dew pipe 17 inside, which is located between the two sets of water collection chambers 16. The top cover 13 includes a bracket 18 and a glass 19. The bracket 18 is located inside the glass 19, and an absorbent cloth 20 is provided between the bracket 18 and the glass 19. One end of the absorbent cloth 20 is located inside the water collection tank 16.
[0030] It should be noted that the glass 19 is higher in the middle and lower on both sides. The defrosting pipe 17 is designed to heat and melt the frost on the upper cover 13 and lower cover 14 into water when it is working, preventing frost from forming on the glass 19 and thus affecting the user's observation of the inside of the freezer 11. The melted water flows along the glass 19 on the cover assembly 12 and the lower cover 14 to both sides. Since there is a water-absorbing cloth 20 between the bracket 18 and the glass 19, the water is absorbed by the water-absorbing cloth 20 and transported to the water collection tank 16 for collection through the guiding effect of the water-absorbing cloth 20. This prevents water from flowing into the inside of the freezer 11 and avoids food contamination or damage inside the freezer 11.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, a plurality of squeezing wheels 21 are fixedly installed inside the water collection tank 16. The squeezing wheels 21 are close to the inner wall of the water collection tank 16, and the wheels of the squeezing wheels 21 correspond to the absorbent cloth 20. The squeezing wheels 21 squeeze water out of the absorbent cloth 20.
[0032] It should be noted that the absorbent cloth 20 is made of wood pulp cotton. Therefore, the absorbent cloth 20 expands in volume after absorbing water. With the setting of the squeezing wheel 21, the absorbent cloth 20 moves between the squeezing wheel 21 and the inner wall of the water collection chamber 16 when the cabinet door moves. During the movement, since the distance between the squeezing wheel 21 and the water collection chamber 16 is relatively close, the squeezing wheel 21 squeezes the absorbent cloth 20, thereby squeezing out the water inside the absorbent cloth 20 and preventing the absorbent cloth 20 from being saturated and unable to effectively drain the water inside.
[0033] In an optional embodiment, a drain outlet is provided at the lower part of the water collection tank 16, and a drain pipe 22 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the support frame 15, with the drain pipe 22 corresponding to the drain outlet.
[0034] It should be noted that the water squeezed by the squeeze roller 21 flows into the water collection chamber 16. Since the water collection chamber 16 has a drain outlet at the bottom, the collected water flows into the drain pipe 22 through the drain outlet, and then the water is discharged from the inside of the squeeze roller 21 to the outside of the freezer 11 through the drain pipe 22.
[0035] In an optional embodiment, the water collection tank 16 serves to support the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14, with the upper cover 13 located above the lower cover 14.
[0036] In an optional embodiment, a steering rod 23 is provided at the lower part of the bracket 18, and the two ends of the steering rod 23 are fixed inside the bracket 18. The steering rod 23 guides the absorbent cloth 20.
[0037] It should be noted that the water collection tank 16 has through holes. During installation, the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14 should first be placed on the bracket 18, and then the absorbent cloth 20 should be slowly inserted into the water collection tank 16 through the through holes along the guide position of the steering rod 23. This is to avoid interference caused by the design of the water collection tank 16 when the upper cover 13 or the lower cover 14 needs to be moved or adjusted in subsequent operations.
[0038] In an optional embodiment, a fixing frame 24 is fixedly installed inside the top cover 13. The fixing frame 24 is located on one side of the steering rod 23. A guide plate 25 is detachably installed inside the fixing frame 24, and the guide plate 25 guides the absorbent cloth 20.
[0039] It should be noted that during installation, the guide plate 25 is installed inside the fixing frame 24, and one end of the guide plate 25 is placed inside the through hole so that when the absorbent cloth 20 is placed on the guide plate 25, the guide plate 25 can guide it and prevent the absorbent cloth 20 from falling off the through hole.
[0040] In an optional embodiment, a condenser 26 is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the freezer 11, and the condenser 26 is connected to the decondensation pipe 17.
[0041] It should be noted that, through the function of the condenser 26, the condenser 26 can effectively cool the interior of the freezer 11 during operation. At the same time, the heat exchange system inside the condenser 26 can also efficiently conduct and transfer the waste heat generated during operation through the decondensation pipe 17.
[0042] Working Principle: During operation, the condenser 26 must first be started. Once the condenser 26 begins normal operation, its internal high-efficiency heat exchange system immediately engages. This heat exchange system effectively conducts excess heat generated during operation through a specially designed decondensation pipe 17. As heat is transferred through the decondensation pipe 17, it simultaneously and evenly heats the surface of the glass 19 of the freezer 11, effectively melting the frost layer adhering to the glass 19 surface. As the temperature rises, the frost on the glass 19 melts into water droplets, which then flow naturally downwards along the surface of the glass 19. Due to the higher center and lower sides of the glass 19, the water droplets eventually flow to the edges of the upper cover 13 and lower cover 14, respectively. Highly absorbent cloths 20 are installed at the edges of both the upper cover 13 and lower cover 14. The other ends of these absorbent cloths 20 are securely installed within the internal structure of the water collection tank 16. This design allows the meltwater flowing down the glass 19 to be quickly and effectively absorbed by the absorbent cloth 20. The absorbent cloth 20 not only absorbs water but also continuously conducts the absorbed water to the interior space of the water collection chamber 16 through its fiber structure. The absorbent cloth 20 undergoes significant volume expansion after absorbing water. Therefore, when the user opens the cabinet door and pushes the upper cover 13 or lower cover 14, the absorbent cloth 20 will move accordingly inside the water collection chamber 16. Simultaneously, the compression roller 21 installed inside the water collection chamber 16 applies pressure to the moving absorbent cloth 20. Through this mechanical compression, the water stored in the fibers of the absorbent cloth 20 is fully squeezed out, ensuring that the absorbent cloth 20 can continuously maintain its absorbency and avoid losing its absorbency due to saturation. The squeezed-out water falls to the bottom of the water collection chamber 16. The bottom of the water collection tank 16 is designed with a drainage hole. Through this drainage structure design, the water collected in the water collection tank 16 can be smoothly discharged to the outside of the equipment through the drain pipe 22, thereby completing the process of decondensation and drainage of the glass 19 of the freezer 11. This avoids contamination and damage to the food inside the freezer 11.
[0043] In summary, a horizontal freezer that uses a decondensation pipe to prevent condensation on the glass door, through the arrangement of the condenser 26 and the decondensation pipe 17, utilizes the internal heat exchange system of the condenser 26 during operation to efficiently conduct and transfer the residual heat generated during operation through the decondensation pipe 17. This allows the decondensation pipe 17 to heat the frost on the upper cover 13 and the lower cover 14 during operation, melting it into water and preventing frost from forming on the glass 19.
[0044] A horizontal freezer that uses a decondensation pipe to prevent condensation on the glass door, through the arrangement of a squeezing roller 21, a water collection tank 16 and a drain pipe 22, allows the upper cover 13 or the lower cover 14 to move on the support frame 15. The squeezing roller 21 installed in the water collection tank 16 applies pressure to the moving absorbent cloth 20, fully squeezing out the water stored in the fibers of the absorbent cloth 20 and draining it through the drain pipe 22 at the bottom of the water collection tank 16, thus avoiding contamination or damage to the food inside the freezer 11.
