Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
In order to solve the problem that water overflows in the water receiving box that leads to because of evaporation efficiency is low in the current freezer to and because of receiving the problem that the water receiving box normal water that external force rocked or lead to when removing easily spills, as shown in fig. 1, fig. 2, this embodiment provides a water receiving box, including casing 10, be formed with inner chamber and the water inlet 11, the cartridge mouth 12 of intercommunication inner chamber on casing 10, water inlet 11 is arranged in connecting the drain pipe 30 in the freezer, plays the effect of water receiving. In order to avoid water from overflowing from the insertion opening 12, the water receiving box of the present embodiment further includes a water absorbing sheet 20 with certain hardness, as shown in fig. 3, the water absorbing sheet 20 may be made of a material that is easy to absorb water in the prior art, such as sponge, foam, and the like, the water absorbing sheet 20 is partially inserted into the inner cavity through the insertion opening 12 for guiding water in the inner cavity to an exposed portion of the water absorbing sheet 20, and horizontal evaporation is improved to vertical evaporation by using the water absorbing sheet 20, so that evaporation of water in the water receiving box is accelerated, and overflow of water in the water receiving box is prevented. In addition, the water absorbing sheet 20 of this embodiment seals the insertion opening 12 when being inserted in the inner cavity, that is, the water absorbing sheet 20 has a certain thickness so that no gap is left between the water absorbing sheet 20 and the insertion opening 12, when the water absorbing sheet 20 moves or shakes due to external force, water cannot splash from the insertion opening 12, but more water gushes out to the water absorbing sheet 20, thereby improving the water content of the exposed part of the water absorbing sheet 20 and being more beneficial to the evaporation of water.
In order to achieve the evaporation effect by the absorbent sheet 20 even when the amount of water in the cavity is small, the present embodiment designs the absorbent sheet 20 to abut against the lowest region 14 in the cavity, as shown with reference to fig. 2 and 5. In order to prevent the frosting problem caused by reverse flow of external hot air into the drain pipe 30 through the insertion opening 12, in the present embodiment, a water storage tank 13 is formed on the inner cavity, a transition pipe 40 connected to the casing 10 and the drain pipe 30 is inserted into the water inlet 11, and the bottom of the transition pipe 40 is designed to extend into the water storage tank 13, and a water seal is formed by the transition pipe 40 and the water storage tank 13, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking air flow, as shown in fig. 4 and 5. In order to avoid excessive water in the water storage tank 13, the depth of the water storage tank 13 is designed to be shallow, and the water storage tank 13 is designed to be higher than the lowest region 14 in the inner cavity so that the water in the water storage tank 13 flows to the lowest region 14 after being full.
In order to improve the ventilation performance of the water absorbent sheet 20 and increase the air drying speed of the water absorbent sheet 20, in the embodiment, a plurality of vent holes 21 are formed in the exposed portion of the water absorbent sheet 20, but a plurality of vent holes arranged in an array may also be integrally formed on the water absorbent sheet 20, as shown in fig. 3.
Can reliably stand after making the 20 cartridge of sheet that absorbs water, the bottom of sheet 20 that absorbs water in this embodiment is laminated with the bottom of inner chamber, and cartridge mouth 12 can include multistage bar opening moreover to the transversal non-linear that personally submits of sheet 20 that absorbs water is realized, and is specific, this embodiment cartridge mouth 12 comprises 3 sections bar openings, is certain contained angle between the adjacent opening, and the contained angle is preferred 90. In other embodiments of the present invention, the insertion opening 12 may also be disposed in a curve or in a ring shape, and a correspondingly shaped water absorbing sheet 20 is disposed, so that a reliable standing can be realized even after the water absorbing sheet 20 is partially inserted into the inner cavity. When the insertion opening 12 is annular, only a part of the shell 10 located in the middle of the insertion opening 12 needs to be designed to extend into the inner cavity to be connected to the bottom of the shell 10.
In order to better overcome the problem of splashing and overflow, the present embodiment further provides an annular rim 15 extending upward at the insertion opening 12, as shown in fig. 1 and 2. After the water absorbing sheet 20 is partially inserted into the inner cavity, the contact area between the shell 10 and the water absorbing sheet 20 is enlarged by the side wall of the annular frame 15, the water absorbing sheet 20 is abutted against the annular frame 15, so that the water absorbing sheet 20 can be effectively prevented from inclining due to too much water absorption or air flow blowing, and in addition, the arrangement of the annular frame 15 also plays a role in water retaining edges.
In order to fix the housing 10 on the refrigerator, the connecting portion is formed on the housing 10 for detachable connection between the refrigerator and the water receiving box, specifically, the connecting portion may be a claw, a slot, or the like formed on the housing 10, and the connecting portion is specifically an ear plate 16 for facilitating connection of a fastener in this embodiment.
It should be noted that in other embodiments of the present invention, a flexible duckbill valve may be mounted on the insertion opening 12, and may be made of silicone, rubber, or the like. The export (flat mouthful of section) of duckbilled valve is extended to the inner chamber by cartridge mouth 12, the export of duckbilled valve folds under self elastic action, when the inner chamber normal water flows to the export of duckbilled valve, the rivers strike the export of duckbilled valve more, it is tighter that the export is closed, passing duckbilled valve with sheet 20 that will absorb water and realizing partial cartridge when the inner chamber, the export of duckbilled valve firmly laminates on sheet 20 that absorbs water, and then has the effect of avoiding the water spill in the inner chamber, especially when sheet 20 that absorbs water need take out the change, under the condition of sheet 20 that absorbs water of cartridge not, the duckbilled valve also can play good splashproof effect.
Based on the above water receiving box, the embodiment further provides a refrigerator, which includes a fan 50 and the above water receiving box, as shown in fig. 6. In order to make good use of the airflow generated by the fan 50 to accelerate the evaporation rate, the water-absorbent sheet 20 is preferably disposed facing the airflow direction in this embodiment.
The foregoing is directed to preferred embodiments of the present invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof, and the scope thereof is determined by the claims that follow. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiments according to the technical essence of the present invention are within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
