Detailed Description
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, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Referring to fig. 1, the air-cooled unit 100 according to the present invention includes a unit case 11 having a first receiving chamber (not shown) formed at an upper side thereof, an evaporator 12 disposed in the first receiving chamber, and an evaporation fan 13. The unit box 11 has a top wall 111, a rear wall 112 and a front wall 113 corresponding to the top, rear and front sides of the first receiving chamber, and the top wall 111 has an air inlet 141 and an air outlet 142 formed at a side close to the rear wall 112 and the front wall 113.
The top end of the evaporator 12 related in the invention inclines towards one side of the rear wall 112, and a receding channel 140 for air to enter the lower part of the evaporator 12 from the air inlet 141 is formed between the top end of the evaporator 12 and the rear wall 112 of the containing cavity; that is, the air from the air inlet 141 cannot directly enter the evaporator 12 from the top of the evaporator 12. In an implementation, an air guiding plate (not labeled) may be disposed on the top end of the evaporator 12, and the offset channel 140 is a channel formed by the air guiding plate and the rear wall 112 of the accommodating cavity.
Further, in the present invention, the evaporation fan 13 is located above the evaporator 12, the air outlet duct 150 extending from the position of the evaporation fan 13 to the position of the air outlet 142 is formed below the top wall 111 of the unit case 11, and the air cooled by the evaporator 12 is blown into the air outlet duct 150 when the evaporation fan 13 operates. More specifically, when the evaporation fan 13 is operated, due to the adsorption force at the air inlet end of the evaporation fan 13, the air entering the lower portion of the evaporator 12 through the air inlet 141 and the abdication channel 140 can pass through the evaporator 12 to achieve cooling and refrigeration, and the cold air entering the evaporation fan 13 can be discharged to the air outlet channel 150 through the air outlet end of the evaporation fan 13 and discharged to the upper space of the unit case 11 through the air outlet 142.
Referring to fig. 5, the present invention also provides a display case, in the bottom of which the air-cooled unit 100 according to the present invention is disposed. Specifically, the display cabinet of the present invention further includes a cabinet body 21 having a storage cavity, and a door 22 disposed at a front side of the cabinet body 21 for opening or closing the cabinet body 21; the air-cooled unit 100 according to the present invention is disposed at the bottom of the cabinet body 21, and the air outlet 142 side is disposed close to the door 22, and the air inlet 141 side is disposed far from the door 22. Based on the above structure, when the air-cooled unit 100 operates, the interior of the storage cavity of the cabinet body 21 can be refrigerated.
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 5, in some embodiments, partitions 210 dividing the storage cavity into multiple layers of spaces may be further disposed in the storage cavity of the cabinet body 21, and in order to facilitate air circulation between the multiple layers of spaces, each partition 210 is provided with a plurality of through holes (not shown) passing through the partition up and down.
Based on the integrated arrangement mode of the air-cooled unit 100 provided by the invention, batch production is easy to realize, and the units assembled on the same production line can adapt to refrigeration of display cabinets of different models.
Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 1, the air outlet duct 150 in this embodiment is formed by a top wall 111 and a duct partition 15 located below the top wall 111, which are clamped together, and the evaporation fan 13 is a centrifugal fan with an air inlet end facing downward. When the centrifugal fan works, gas axially enters the impeller and is radially discharged, so that the centrifugal fan is adopted for the evaporation fan 13, the air flow guiding can be avoided by adopting excessive air deflectors, and the wind resistance loss is reduced, namely the centrifugal fan is adopted for the evaporation fan 13, so that the whole structure of the unit is more reasonable.
Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the first accommodating chamber further has a cold accumulation chamber 101 located below the air duct partition 15 and communicated with the space above the evaporator 12 at the front side of the evaporator 12. In the circulation refrigeration of the air-cooled unit 100, when a circulation refrigeration process is finished, a certain amount of cold can be accumulated in the cold accumulation cavity 101, so that when the next circulation refrigeration is started and the temperature of the evaporator 12 is not reduced to a lower temperature, the cold accumulated in the cold accumulation cavity 101 can be supplemented to ensure that the cold air entering the air outlet duct 150 has a temperature which is not too high, and the display cabinet has a relatively stable refrigeration effect.
Referring to fig. 1 and 4, in some embodiments of the present invention, at least two evaporation fans 13 are disposed above the evaporator 12 in the width direction of the unit case 11, and are arranged in parallel to supply air to the air outlet duct 150. Considering that display cases generally have a wide size, a plurality of evaporation fans 13 can make the cooling more uniform. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, two evaporation fans 13 are arranged in parallel, and the evaporation fans 13 guide the outlet air into the outlet air duct 150 through the volute 130.
As further shown in fig. 4, in order to make the air outlet 142 more uniform, the air outlet 1420 in this embodiment is formed by a plurality of through holes 1420 disposed at intervals and penetrating through the top plate. Preferably, in the specific implementation process, the distribution span of the plurality of through holes 1420 in the width direction of the unit box 11 is not less than the distribution span of the evaporation fan 13, as shown in fig. 4, that is, W1 is not greater than W2.
As shown in fig. 1, the unit box 11 of the present invention further has a bottom wall 114 corresponding to a bottom side of the first accommodating chamber, and a converging region (not shown) for converging accumulated water is formed at a position right below the evaporator 12 on the bottom wall 114, and a flow guide hole 1140 for guiding the accumulated water in the first accommodating chamber is formed in the converging region. In order to facilitate the confluence of accumulated water, the horizontal height of the upper surface of the bottom wall 114 is gradually reduced in the direction close to the flow guide holes 1140 in the confluence region; namely, a slope for accumulated water to flow towards the diversion hole 1140 is formed in the confluence area.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the unit box 11 further has a second receiving chamber 102 formed at the lower side of the bottom wall 114, and a water receiving box 16 for receiving the accumulated water guided by the guiding hole 1140 is disposed in the second receiving chamber 102. In other embodiments of the present invention, the accumulated water guided out from the guiding holes 1140 may also be directly guided out to the outside of the unit box 11 (not shown) through a pipeline.
Further, the air-cooled unit 100 of the present embodiment further includes a compressor 17, a condenser 18 and a condensing fan 19 disposed in the second accommodating chamber 101; preferably, the water receiving box 16 is disposed at the top of the compressor 17, so that during the operation of the compressor 17, water in the water receiving box 16 can be evaporated to cool the compressor 17 to a certain extent, and thus the service life of the compressor 17 can be prolonged.
In addition, in order to realize the intelligent defrosting control of the air-cooled unit 100 of the present invention, the air-cooled unit 100 of the present invention further includes a defrosting unit for heating the evaporator 12 during operation, a weighing unit for sensing the current weight of the evaporator 12, a storage unit for storing parent data of the weight of the evaporator 12 in different operation states without frosting, a comparison and determination unit for comparing the sensed weight of the weighing unit with the parent data corresponding to the current state stored in the storage unit and determining whether the frosting amount of the evaporator 12 exceeds a preset threshold, and a control unit for controlling the operation of the defrosting unit when the frosting amount of the evaporator 12 exceeds the preset threshold.
Based on the arrangement of the related structure of intelligent defrosting control, the air-cooled unit can realize evaporator defrosting pertinently, and further the refrigeration efficiency of the air-cooled unit is reliably improved.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, unlike the structure shown in fig. 1, a rotation support portion 1120 is fixed in the first receiving chamber 101 of the present embodiment, and is rotatably connected to the top end of the evaporator 12 to support the top of the evaporator 12. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the rotation supporting portion 1120 is a bracket fixed on the rear wall 112 of the unit case 11, and the top end of the evaporator 12 is rotatably connected to the bracket through the rotating shaft 120.
Further, in the embodiment, the weighing module is the pressure sensor 10 disposed at the bottom end of the evaporator 12, and since the top end of the evaporator 12 is rotatably connected to the rotating support portion 1120, when the frost amount on the surface of the evaporator 12 is different, the pressure of the evaporator 12 on the pressure sensor 10 is inevitably different. In practice, based on this pressure data, it is easier to calculate the current weight of the evaporator 12.
In a specific implementation process, the defrosting unit referred to in the embodiment may be a heating wire or the like. The maternal data stored in the storage unit can be obtained by: when the air-cooled unit 100 is powered on for the first time, the weights of the evaporator 12 in different operation states are detected and obtained through the pressure sensor 10 in the first operation period, and the obtained data can be used as female parent data. In addition, the "preset threshold" referred to in the present invention can be adjusted according to actual requirements.
It is understood that, since the rotation support portion 1120 also has a certain support for the evaporator 12, the data sensed by the pressure sensor 10 is not completely consistent with the actual weight of the evaporator 12, but the data sensed by the pressure sensor 10 and the weight of the evaporator 12 have a linear relationship, and therefore, the weight of the evaporator 12 can be easily obtained through the data sensed by the pressure sensor 10.
Although the description is given in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment includes only a single embodiment, and such description is for clarity only, and those skilled in the art will recognize that the embodiments described herein may be combined as a whole to form other embodiments as would be understood by those skilled in the art.
