Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigerators, and more particularly to a condensate evaporation structure for refrigerators. Background Technology

[0002] Freezers, as a common refrigeration device, are widely used in commercial and residential settings for freezing and refrigerating food, beverages, and other items. During the air circulation process within a freezer, air passes through a return air chamber. Because this chamber is close to the evaporator and has a lower temperature, condensation forms on its walls. This condensation is typically drained directly through a drain pipe. However, directly draining the condensation requires a bucket to collect the water, or it can be directly drained into a sewer pipe. The former requires an additional bucket, taking up floor space and being unsightly; the latter requires an additional connecting pipe to guide the condensation.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems. We provide a condensate evaporation structure for a freezer, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a condensate evaporation structure for a freezer, including a cabinet body. The cabinet body has a refrigeration chamber with a front opening. A return air chamber and a refrigeration chamber are located at the back of the refrigeration chamber. The refrigeration chamber is located in front of the return air chamber and is equipped with an air supply device and an evaporator assembly. The return air chamber is connected to the refrigeration chamber via a return air structure. The refrigeration chamber has an air inlet connected to the return air chamber and is connected to the refrigeration chamber via an air outlet structure. A drain pipe is connected to the bottom of the return air chamber. The cabinet body has a heat insulation zone containing a compressor and a drip tray. The drain pipe is connected to the drip tray.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, a water receiving trough is defined at the bottom of the return air cavity. The water receiving trough is inclined and has a drain outlet at the lowest water level. The drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the water receiving tray is provided with an upwardly extending mounting post, the mounting post is provided with a threaded hole, and a shock-absorbing rubber particle is sleeved on the mounting post. The compressor is connected to the threaded hole through a screw and presses the shock-absorbing rubber particle.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the water receiving tray is provided with at least three mounting posts for connecting and fixing the compressor.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the height of the damping granules is higher than the water depth of the drip tray.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the return air structure is distributed at the upper and lower ends of the refrigeration chamber; the air outlet structure is distributed at the left and right ends of the refrigeration chamber.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: by directly leading the condensate generated in the return air cavity to the water collection tray in the heat insulation area where the compressor is located through the drain pipe, the high temperature heat generated when the compressor is working is used to naturally heat and evaporate the water in the tray, eliminating the need for an external water storage container or additional drainage pipes, saving space, simplifying the structure, and avoiding the trouble of frequent manual water emptying.

[0013] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0014] See appendix Figure 1-2 This application provides a condensate evaporation structure for a freezer, including a cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 has a refrigeration chamber 2 with a front opening. The back of the refrigeration chamber 2 has a return air chamber 3 and a refrigeration chamber 4. The refrigeration chamber 4 is located in front of the return air chamber 3. The refrigeration chamber 4 is equipped with an air supply device 5 and an evaporation tube assembly 6. The return air chamber 3 is connected to the refrigeration chamber 2 through a return air structure 7. The refrigeration chamber 4 has an air inlet connected to the return air chamber 3 and is connected to the refrigeration chamber 2 through an air outlet structure 8. A drain pipe 12 is connected to the bottom of the return air chamber 3. The cabinet body 1 has a heat insulation zone 9. The heat insulation zone 9 has a compressor 10 and a water collection tray 11. The drain pipe is connected to the water collection tray 11. This solution directly leads the condensate generated in the return air chamber 3 to the water collection tray 11 in the heat insulation zone where the compressor 10 is located through the drain pipe 12. The high temperature heat generated when the compressor 10 is working is used to naturally heat and evaporate the water accumulated in the water collection tray 11. Therefore, there is no need to connect an external water tank for water storage or connect an external drain pipe.

[0015] The bottom of the return air cavity 3 defines a water collection trough 13, which is inclined. The water collection trough 13 is provided with a drain outlet 14 at the lowest water level. The drain pipe 12 is connected to the drain outlet 14, so that the drain trough 13 can collect condensate water and discharge it to the drain outlet 14, thus avoiding water accumulation in the water collection trough 13.

[0016] The water receiving tray 11 is provided with an upwardly extending mounting post 15. The mounting post 15 has a threaded hole 16, and a shock-absorbing rubber granule 17 is fitted on the mounting post 15. The compressor 10 is connected to the threaded hole 16 by screws and holds the shock-absorbing rubber granule 17. During installation, the shock-absorbing rubber granule 17 is first fitted onto the mounting post 15, then the mounting hole of the compressor 10 is aligned with the threaded hole 16, and then it is fixed with screws. During the tightening of the screws, the compressor 10 applies force to the shock-absorbing rubber granule 17, causing the shock-absorbing rubber granule to deform slightly and then resist the compressor 10. This can ensure the stability of the compressor after installation, and when the compressor vibrates during operation, the shock-absorbing rubber granule can offset the vibration, achieving a noise reduction effect.

[0017] The water receiving tray 11 is provided with at least three mounting posts 15 for connecting and fixing the compressor 10, thereby improving the stability of the compressor 10 after installation and the noise reduction effect.

[0018] The height of the shock-absorbing granules 17 is higher than the water-receiving depth of the water-receiving pan 11, which can prevent the condensate in the water-receiving pan 11 from coming into contact with the compressor 10 and prevent the compressor 10 from being immersed in the condensate.

[0019] The return air structure 7 is distributed at the upper and lower ends of the refrigeration chamber 2; the air outlet structure 8 is distributed at the left and right ends of the refrigeration chamber 2, which can avoid mutual interference between the return air and the air outlet.

[0020] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
