Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wine cabinet devices, and in particular to a wine cabinet structure with a water level indicator. Background Technology
[0002] For long-term storage of wine, most existing wine cabinets are equipped with refrigeration structures. According to the refrigeration method, they can be divided into electronic semiconductor, compressor direct cooling, and variable frequency air cooling, etc. Semiconductor refrigeration has high energy consumption, so compression refrigeration is more common. The evaporator of compression refrigeration is usually at a low temperature, which makes it easy for condensation to form. In countries and regions near the coast, the wine cabinet is set at a low temperature and the humidity is high when it is working, resulting in a lot of condensation on the evaporator. Sometimes, the heat generated by the compressor is not enough to evaporate the condensation, causing the water in the drip tray to increase. This can lead to water overflowing from the drip tray, reducing the user experience and causing direct damage to wooden floors or carpets. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are some embodiments of this utility model, but not all embodiments.
[0014] The following is combined Figures 1 to 8 The structure of the wine cabinet with a water level indicator provided in this embodiment will be further explained as follows: An embodiment of this utility model provides a wine cabinet structure with a water level indicator, including a double-layer wine cabinet body 100, a limiting water receiving box 200, a cold circulation mechanism 300, and an outdoor unit cavity shell 400. The bottom of the back side of the double-layer wine cabinet body 100 is provided with an outdoor unit groove, the outdoor unit cavity shell 400 is located in the outdoor unit groove, and the limiting water receiving box 200 is located in the outdoor unit cavity shell. In this embodiment, the outdoor unit housing 400 is a detachable housing, which exposes the internal compression components by removing the back panel of the housing, facilitating maintenance; The double-layer wine cabinet 100 includes an outer cabinet shell 101, a cabinet door 102, and an inner cabinet 103. The outer cabinet shell 101 is located on the outside of the inner cabinet 103. The cold circulation mechanism 300 is located in the cavity between the outer cabinet shell 101 and the inner cabinet 103. The cabinet door 102 is rotatably installed on the front side of the outer cabinet shell 101. The limiting water receiving box 200 includes an outer box 201, an inner intermediate box 202, and a water level sensor 203. The inner intermediate box 202 is located in the middle of the outer box 201. The water level sensor 203 is located in the annular channel between the outer box 201 and the inner intermediate box 202. The condensate drain pipe of the cold circulation mechanism 300 is connected to the inner intermediate box 202. The inner cabinet 103 is equipped with a control panel mechanism 500, which consists of a panel frame and a control motherboard. It is used to control the temperature and alarm. In this embodiment, the alarm is located inside the outer unit cavity 400 (not shown in the figure). When the water level sensor 203 reaches the specified water level, an alarm is triggered.
[0015] like Figure 1 - Figure 8 As shown, embodiments of this utility model also disclose the following more optimized specific structures: The inner cabinet 103 has several sets of vertically arranged inner rails 104 on its inner wall. A pull-out wine bottle support rack 105 is slidably installed on the inner rails 104 for placing wine bottles. The inner cabinet 103 also has a temperature sensor inside its cavity for detecting the storage temperature. The bottom of the outer cabinet shell 101 has pads 106.
[0016] The cold circulation mechanism 300 includes a cover 301 and a partition fan blade holder 306. The cover 301 is installed on the back side of the inner cabinet 103. An evaporator 303 is provided inside the cover 301. The inner cabinet 103 inside the cover 301 is provided with a fan hole and a back side strip hole 107. A back panel fan 302 is installed in the fan hole. The partition fan blade holder 306 is located inside the inner cabinet 103. A water receiving tray 305 is provided below the evaporator 303, and the inlet of the condensate drain pipe is installed at the outlet of the water receiving tray 305.
[0017] In this embodiment, the partition fan blade holder 306 is installed on the back side of the control panel mechanism 500. The partition fan blade holder 306 is equipped with an auxiliary fan to facilitate the circulation of cold air. The evaporator 303 is connected to the refrigeration outdoor unit assembly through the conveying unit 304. The conveying unit 304 and the refrigeration outdoor unit assembly are common compression refrigeration structures, which will not be described in detail here. The refrigeration outdoor unit assembly is located inside the outdoor unit cavity shell 400, which is not shown in the figure.
[0018] The top of the two side walls of the inner box 202 are provided with overflow notches 206, and a baffle connecting rib 204 is installed between the outer box 201 and the inner box 202. The top side of the outer box 201 is provided with a fixing screw hole 205 for installation onto the double-layer wine cabinet body 100.
[0019] like Figure 1 - Figure 8The wine cabinet structure with a water level indicator shown is mainly designed for low-temperature storage of wines in areas with high humidity. The cold circulation mechanism 300 refrigerates the wines inside the double-layer wine cabinet 100. The condensate generated during this process first enters the middle inner box 202 through pipes. At this time, the compressor mechanism of the outdoor refrigeration unit and other structures generate heat to heat and dry the limiting water collection box 200. When the humidity is too high, the amount of condensate increases, and the excess water overflows through the overflow notch 206 into the annular channel. After passing through the baffle connecting ribs 204, it reaches the water level sensor 203. At this time, the water level is too high and there is a risk of overflow. The alarm sounds to remind the user to deal with the water to avoid affecting the decorated floor and carpet, thus improving the user experience.
[0020] Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this utility model as claimed.
