In one embodiment of the present invention, on the premise of meeting the structural strength requirement, the first flow channel 113 and the second flow channel 114 are hollow structures. Since the water in the first flow channel 113 is cold water, the water in the second flow channel 114 is hot water, and the hot water and the cold water can exchange heat through the connector body 100. By arranging the hollow structure between the first flow channel 113 and the second flow channel 114, not only the energy exchange of cold water and hot water can be further avoided, but also the weight of the connector body 100 can be reduced, and the production cost of the drinking water equipment can be reduced.

Because the trap 200 is disposed up and down, when hot water enters the third flow passage through the second end of the second flow guiding section 211, the hot water in the third flow passage is under the upper cold water according to the heat conduction principle, so that heat conduction and convection between cold and hot water can be effectively reduced, and the problem of temperature cross between the cold and hot water is solved.

It should be noted that, the first end of the first diversion section 210 is the first end 212 of the trap, and the first end of the second diversion section 211 is the second end 213 of the trap.

It should be noted that, when the connector body 100 is horizontally disposed above the second container 300, the trap 200 does not affect the installation of the connector body 100 because the trap 200 is vertically disposed on the side of the connector body 100 near the first faucet intake 112. Of course, the installation position of the trap 200 is not limited to this, and may be provided at other positions of the connector body 100.

The capacity of the third flow path should be greater than the product of the volume of the second container (hot water container) and the coefficient of expansion for water heating, assuming the capacity of the third flow path is Q1, the volume of the second container is Q2, and the coefficient of expansion for water heating is K. (as known from physical phenomena, when water is heated to more than 90 degrees, the expansion coefficient of hot water is about 5-10%), so that the capacity Q1 of the third flow channel is larger than or equal to Q2, and of course, in the case of space design, the larger Q1 is, the better, and the preference is that Q1 is larger than or equal to 2, and Q2, K.

The temperature-preventing effect is also related to the shape of the third flow passage, which may be V-shaped, U-shaped or other shapes, preferably a vertically arranged U-shaped flow passage, and when the volume of water in the second container is 1L, the volume of water in the third flow passage is 80ml, the water temperature in the second container is 95 °, and the water inlet temperature is 25 °, as shown in fig. 18a, since the trap 200 is not arranged in the pipeline, i.e. the third flow passage is not present, the water inlet pipe is in a horizontal state at this time, and since the temperature-preventing structure is not present, the temperature-preventing effect is poor, and the detected water inlet temperature is 53 °. As shown in fig. 18b, when the third flow channel may be V-shaped, the included angle between the first end of the second flow guiding section 211 and the vertical direction is 45 °, and the detected inlet water temperature is 35 °. As shown in fig. 18c, when the third flow channel may be U-shaped, the first end of the second flow guiding section 211 is in a vertical state, and the detected inlet water temperature is 26 °. Therefore, when the third flow passage is U-shaped, the trap 200 has the best effect of preventing the cold and hot water from flowing.

The second hot water connection port 118 and the third water intake 119 are respectively located at different sides of the connector body 100, and sealing elements are respectively arranged in the second hot water connection port 118 and the third water intake 119. By arranging the sealing element, when the second container 300 is connected with the second hot water connection port 118, the quick installation can be realized by only inserting the water outlet pipe of the second container 300 into the second hot water connection port 118, the installation step is simplified, and fasteners such as fixing clips or tightening belts are reduced.

The heated hot water in the second container 300 enters the second hot water connection port 118 through the water outlet pipe of the second container 300, and is then delivered to the hot water faucet through the third faucet water intake 119.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 22, in order to achieve the sealing, each of the above-mentioned connection ports is provided with a sealing member, and the connection pipe 130 is inserted into the corresponding connection port, where the connection pipe may be a cold water outlet pipe of the first container 400, or a water outlet pipe or a water inlet pipe of the second container 300. The inner walls of the connectors are provided with fixing rings 151, and mounting grooves are formed between the fixing rings 151 and the inner walls of the connectors. Each of the connection ports is provided with a sealing member, the sealing member includes a first sealing portion 141, a second sealing portion 142 and a connection portion 143, the first sealing portion 141 is embedded in the installation groove, and the first sealing portion 141 is in sealing fit with the fixing ring 151 toward one side of the fixing ring 151. The second sealing portion 142 is sleeved on the connecting pipe 130, the second sealing portion 142 is located between the fixing ring 151 and the connecting pipe 130, the second sealing portion 142 is connected with the first sealing portion 141 through the connecting portion 143, and the first sealing portion 141, the second sealing portion 142 and the connecting portion 143 are integrally formed. The second sealing part 142 is in sealing fit with the connecting pipe 130, a gap 152 is formed between the second sealing part 142 and the first sealing part 141, and a guiding inclined plane 144 is arranged at the joint of the second sealing part 142 and the connecting part 143. The connecting pipe 130 is sleeved with a pressing ring 131, the pressing ring 131 and the connecting pipe 130 are integrally formed, and the pressing ring 131 is in sealing fit with one side of the connecting part 143, which is away from the fixed ring 151.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the second sealing portion 142 is adapted to be assembled with the connection pipe 130 in the axial direction by a size of 10mm to 15mm, and the compression amount of the second sealing portion 142 in the radial direction is 20% -25%.

Here, the compression amount of the second seal portion 142 in the radial direction refers to the interference fit compression amount of the second seal portion 142 and the connection pipe 130. The second sealing part 142 has an assembling dimension of 10mm-15mm in the axial direction, and under the condition that the compression amount in the radial direction is 20% -25%, the force for pulling out the connecting pipe 130 needs to reach 50N-70N, so that the requirements that the connecting pipe 130 is difficult to pull out under the state of itself and can be dismantled by manpower can be met. If the second sealing part 142 is assembled in a smaller size and compression design, the connection pipe 130 may be at risk of falling out; conversely, if the second seal portion 142 is designed to have a larger size and larger compression ratio, it is difficult to manually pull out the connection tube 130, and the seal is pulled apart.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1a and 22a, in the case that the drinking device is not provided with the second container 300, the drinking device outputs only cold water and warm water, and at this time, the connector body 100 is only required to be provided with the first cold water inlet 110, the second cold water inlet 115, the first tap water intake 112 and the second tap water intake 116, wherein the first cold water inlet 110 communicates with the first tap water intake 112, the second cold water inlet 115 communicates with the second tap water intake 116, the first cold water inlet 110 and the second cold water inlet 115 communicate with two cold water outlet pipes of the first container 400, the first tap water intake 112 communicates with the warm water tap, and the second tap water intake 116 communicates with the cold water tap.

Of course, the above-mentioned connector body 100 may be used to block other connectors except the first cold water inlet 110, the second cold water inlet 115, the first faucet intake 112 and the second faucet intake 116 by using plugs, and may be used for a drinking appliance without the second container 300.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the connector body 100 is further formed with an exhaust pipe 120, the exhaust pipe 120 being in communication with the second hot water connection port 118, the exhaust pipe 120 being located at the first side of the connector body 100, the exhaust pipe 120 being for exhausting gas at the upper portion of the second container 300. By communicating the exhaust duct 120 with the second hot water connection port 118, it is no longer necessary to separately provide the exhaust duct 120 on the second container 300, and the gas in the second container 300 can enter the exhaust duct 120 through the second hot water connection port 118 and be discharged through the exhaust duct 120, so as to prevent the pressure in the second container 300 from being excessively large.

It should be noted that the height of the exhaust pipe 120 needs to be higher than the height of the hot water tap to ensure that the gas can be exhausted through the exhaust pipe 120 and the water cannot be exhausted through the exhaust pipe 120. Of course, a waterproof and breathable film may be provided in the exhaust pipe 120, and the gas may be exhausted and the water may not be exhausted.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first cold water inlet 110, the second cold water inlet 115, the first tap water intake 112, the second tap water intake 116, and the third tap water intake 119 are all located on the first side of the connector body 100, and the first hot water connection port 111 and the second hot water connection port 118 are all located on the second side of the connector body 100. Since the first container 400 is located at one side of the connector body 100 and the second container 300 is located at the other side of the connector body 100 during installation, the provision of the cold water inlet and the hot water connection port at different sides of the connector body 100 can facilitate connection of the connector body 100 with the first container 400 and the second container 300.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 16, in order to further avoid heat exchange between cold water and hot water, the first diversion section 210 and the second diversion section 211 are not directly connected, the waterway connector further includes a check valve 220, the check valve 220 is disposed between the first diversion section 210 and the second diversion section 211, and the check valve 220 is used to enable water in the first diversion section 210 to flow into the second diversion section 211, so that water in the second diversion section 211 cannot flow into the first diversion section 210.

By arranging the check valve 220 between the first cold water inlet 110 and the first hot water connection port 111, the temperature of the hot water in the second container body 310 and the cold water in the first container body 420 can be prevented from being changed, the energy consumption of the drinking device can be reduced, and the user experience can be improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the check valve 220 is formed with a water inlet and a water outlet, the second end of the first flow channel 113 and the first water intake 112 of the first faucet are respectively connected to the first end of the first diversion section 210, the second end of the first diversion section 210 is connected to the water inlet, the first end of the second flow channel 114 is connected to the first end of the second diversion section 211, the second end of the second flow channel 114 is connected to the first hot water connection port 111, and the second end of the second diversion section 211 is connected to the water outlet.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 17 and 18, the check valve 220 includes a valve body 221 and a valve core 223, a valve body flow passage is formed inside the valve body 221, both ends of the valve body flow passage are respectively formed with a water inlet end and a water outlet end, that is, a lower end of the valve body flow passage is formed with a water inlet end, and an upper end of the valve body flow passage is formed with a water outlet end. The inner wall of the valve body flow passage is formed with a first sealing surface 222, and the first sealing surface 222 is horizontally arranged and positioned below the valve core 223. The valve core 223 is arranged in the valve body flow passage, the valve core 223 is made of silica gel, a second sealing surface 224 is formed at the bottom of the valve core 223, and the valve core 223 is suitable for being switched between a closed position and an open position; in the closed position, the first sealing surface 222 is in contact with the second sealing surface 224, the valve body flow passage is blocked, and in the open position, the second sealing surface 224 is separated from the first sealing surface 222, and the valve body flow passage is open.

As shown in fig. 20, the first container 400 is located above the connector body 100, the second container 300 is located below the connector body 100, water enters the valve body flow passage through the first container 400 and the first cold water inlet 110 in sequence under the action of gravity, at this time, the pressure of the cold water is higher than that of the hot water, the water flows upward in the valve body flow passage, the water pushes the valve core 223 to move from the closed position to the open position against the gravity of the valve core 223, and since the valve core 223 has no sealing surface in sealing fit with the valve core, the cold water continuously flows into the first hot water connection port through the valve body flow passage and finally enters the second container 300.

As shown in fig. 19, when the hot water is heated to expand and return, the pressure of the cold water is smaller than the pressure of the hot water, the water flows downwards in the valve body flow passage, and the water presses the valve core 223 downwards, so that the second sealing surface 224 at the bottom of the valve core 223 is attached to the first sealing surface 222, and the valve core 223 blocks the valve body flow passage. And the greater the pressure exerted by the water on the spool 223, the tighter the second sealing surface 224 will be against the first sealing surface 222, the better the tightness. Because the valve core 223 blocks the valve body flow passage, hot water cannot enter the first container 400 through the valve body flow passage, so that the temperature of cold water and hot water is prevented from being mixed, the energy consumption is reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Here, the material of the valve body 221 is not limited to silica gel, and may be rubber or other flexible materials.

In the embodiment of the invention, the valve core 223 is a cylinder, the cross section of the valve body flow channel is circular, and a certain gap is arranged between the valve core 223 and the inner wall of the valve body flow channel so as to ensure that the valve core 223 can freely move in the valve body flow channel.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first sealing surface 222 is an annular plane, the first sealing surface 222 is horizontally disposed, the second sealing surface 224 is a circular plane, the second sealing surface 224 is horizontally disposed, and the outer diameter of the first sealing surface 222 is larger than the diameter of the second sealing surface 224. By having the outer diameter of the first sealing surface 222 greater than the diameter of the second sealing surface 224, in the closed position, even if the position of the spool 223 is displaced by a certain amount, no leakage occurs between the first sealing surface 222 and the second sealing surface 224, reducing the machining precision requirements of the spool 223 and the valve body 221, and reducing the production cost.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 21, the second sealing surface 224 is a conical surface, and the first sealing surface 222 is an inclined annular surface, and by setting the second sealing surface 224 to be a conical surface, the more closely the second sealing surface 224 is fitted to the first sealing surface 222 when the spool 223 receives a downward pressure, the better the tightness.

In the embodiment of the invention, the concave part 225 is arranged on one side of the valve core 223, which is away from the first sealing surface 222, and the concave part 225 is arranged to enable the interior of the valve core 223 to be hollow, so that the weight of the valve core 223 is reduced, and the buoyancy of the valve core 223 is increased. The upward movement of water requires only a small amount of thrust to the spool 223 to push the spool 223 away from the closed position.

In the embodiment of the invention, a plurality of limiting parts 226 are arranged on the inner wall of the valve body flow passage at intervals, and the limiting parts 226 are positioned on one side of the valve core 223, which is away from the first sealing surface 222, namely, the limiting parts 226 are positioned above the valve core 223. In the open position, a side of the spool 223 facing away from the first sealing surface 222 abuts the stopper 226. Because of the gap between the adjacent two limiting portions 226, water can flow through the gap, and the valve core 223 cannot block the valve body flow passage.

Here, the number of the limiting portions 226 may be two or three or more, and the distances between two adjacent limiting portions 226 may be equal or unequal.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the second container 300 includes a second container body having a second receiving cavity formed therein and a hot water inlet pipe having a first end communicating with the second receiving cavity and a second end communicating with the first hot water connection port.

Because the heat preservation casing assembly 340 is made by the stereoplasm material, and heat preservation casing assembly 340 has fixed shape, makes things convenient for the installation of second container, and the installation can not produce harm to human and environment for the second container installation can realize automated production, improves production efficiency.

It should be noted that, the hard material herein means that the thermal insulation housing has a fixed shape after the thermal insulation housing is made of the material.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the insulating housing assembly 340 is made of CBS fiberglass foam or melamine molding material.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 23 and 24, the second container body 310 and the thermal insulation housing assembly 340 are both rectangular, and since the second container installation area is generally rectangular, if the second container body 310 and the thermal insulation housing assembly 340 are configured as a cylinder or a sphere, much space in the second container installation area cannot be effectively utilized, and the space utilization rate is low. By providing the second container body 310 and the thermal insulation case assembly 340 as a rectangular parallelepiped, not only is space in the second container installation area effectively utilized, but also the capacity of the second container body 310 is increased.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 23, the thermal insulation housing assembly 340 includes a first housing 341 and a second housing 342, the first housing 341 is located at one side of the second container body 310, the second housing 342 is located at the other side of the second container body 310, and the second housing 342 is connected with the first housing 341 through a buckle or screw to facilitate the installation and removal of the thermal insulation housing assembly 340.

The connection method between the first case 341 and the second case 342 is not limited to this, and may be by adhesive or hot melt. The thermal insulation housing assembly 340 is not limited to the combination of the first housing 341 and the second housing 342, but may be composed of a plurality of housings, and the number of the housings is determined according to the shape and size of the thermal insulation housing assembly 340.

The first end of the water outlet pipe 320 is communicated with the top of the second accommodating cavity, and the gas in the second accommodating cavity can be discharged through the water outlet pipe 320, so that the exhaust pipe 120 is not required to be arranged independently, the structure of the second container is simplified, and the production cost is reduced.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 23 and 26, the water inlet pipe 330 is installed at the upper portion of the second container body 310, the first end of the water inlet pipe 330 communicates with the second receiving chamber, and the first end of the water inlet pipe 330 extends downward to the bottom of the second receiving chamber. The first end of the water inlet pipe 330 is extended downwards to the bottom of the second accommodating cavity, so that cold water entering through the water inlet pipe 330 can be located at the bottom of the second container body 310, and the heating pipe 360 can directly heat the cold water, so that the heating efficiency of the heating pipe 360 is improved, and the energy consumption of the heating pipe 360 is reduced. Meanwhile, since the cold water is located at the bottom of the second accommodating cavity after entering the second accommodating cavity, the hot water at the upper part of the second accommodating cavity is not affected, and the hot water output through the water outlet pipe 320 is prevented from being affected by the cold water. The water inlet pipe 330 is also a hard pipe body, so that the second end of the water inlet pipe 330 is conveniently inserted into the first hot water connection port. The water inlet pipe 330 in the related art is arranged at the bottom of the side wall of the second container body 310, the second end of the water inlet pipe 330 is inconvenient to connect with the first hot water connection port, and automatic production is difficult to realize.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 23, the heat insulation housing assembly 340 is provided with at least two through holes, a sealing ring is disposed in each through hole, an annular clamping groove is disposed on the outer circumferential surface of each sealing ring, edges of the through holes are clamped in the corresponding clamping grooves, and the second end of the water outlet pipe 320 and the second end of the water inlet pipe 330 respectively pass through the corresponding sealing rings. By providing a sealing ring, heat is prevented from being lost outwards through the annular gap between the through hole and the water outlet pipe 320 and the water inlet pipe 330, and the heat insulation performance of the heat insulation shell assembly 340 is improved.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 25, a mounting hole is formed in a side wall of the second accommodating cavity, a sealing ring is disposed in the mounting hole, the second temperature sensor 350 is inserted into the mounting hole and penetrates through the sealing ring, and a distance between the second temperature sensor 350 and the first end of the water inlet pipe 330 is less than 30mm. Because the second temperature sensor of the second container in the related art is coated with heat conduction silicone grease, the second temperature sensor is inserted into the heat conduction pipe, and the detected temperature value is inconsistent with the actual temperature value due to the installation mode, the second container of the invention directly inserts the second temperature sensor 350 into the second accommodating cavity to be in contact with water, and the installation position is near the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 330, so that the real data of the water temperature during water inlet can be fed back to the electric control board, and the accurate control of the temperature by the electric control board is realized.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 24, the second container further includes a heating tube 360, where the heating tube 360 is installed at the bottom of the second accommodating cavity, and the heating tube 360 is a spiral heating tube, so that the contact surface with water can be increased by using the spiral heating tube, the heating efficiency of the heating tube 360 is improved, and the space occupied by the heating tube 360 can be reduced. In order to precisely control the temperature of the water in the second receiving chamber, a temperature controller and a temperature limiter are provided on the sidewall of the second container body 310, and the heating tube 360 is electrically connected with the temperature controller and the temperature limiter, respectively.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the heat generating tube 360 may also be disposed outside the second container body 310, that is, between the second container body 310 and the heat insulation housing assembly 340.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 27, the drinking apparatus further includes:

a refrigeration assembly comprising a condenser 510, an evaporator 520 and a compressor 530, an outlet of the compressor 530 being in communication with an inlet of the condenser 510, an outlet of the condenser 510 being in communication with an inlet of the evaporator 520, an outlet of the evaporator 520 being in communication with an inlet of the compressor 530.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 27 to 30, the condenser 510 includes a plurality of layers of condensing tubes, each layer of condensing tubes including a plurality of parallel main condensing segments and connecting segments connecting adjacent main condensing segments, and a distance between adjacent main condensing segments at an upstream is greater than a distance between adjacent main condensing segments at a downstream along a refrigerant flow direction.

It can be understood that the condenser 510 operates on the principle that the high-temperature refrigerant flows in the condensation tube 511 of the condenser 510, and the outside air contacts the condensation tube 511, and the condensation tube 511 is utilized to perform heat exchange, so that the heat of the refrigerant is dissipated into the air, and the temperature of the refrigerant is reduced.

Through setting up side by side between the multilayer condenser pipe 511, under the limited circumstances of household electrical appliances volume, adopt the design of multilayer condenser pipe 511, can increase the pipeline length of condenser 510, and then promote the heat dispersion of condenser 510, can solve the heat dissipation problem under the high temperature.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 27 to 30, the adjacent two layers of condensation pipes 511 have a smaller included angle, and after the multiple layers of condensation pipes 511 are arranged side by side, the volume is smaller, so that space can be saved.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the adjacent two layers of the condensation pipes 511 are arranged in parallel, so that space occupation can be reduced as much as possible.

Through laminating between two-layer adjacent condenser pipes 511 and connecting, there is not invalid space between the multilayer condenser pipe 511, thickness of this embodiment condenser 510 is little with the thickness difference of individual layer condenser 510, but the heat transfer route is longer, and the condensation effect is better, can solve the heat dissipation problem under the high temperature condition, can take into account radiating efficiency and space volume.

In embodiments of the present invention, each layer of condensing tubes 511 comprises a plurality of main condensing tube sections 513 and connecting tube sections 514 arranged in parallel, wherein the connecting tube sections 514 are arranged between two adjacent main condensing tube sections 513, and a plurality of main condensing tube sections 513 can be connected in series.

It will be appreciated that, as shown in fig. 27 to 30, in order to increase the length of the condensation duct 511, increase the time for the refrigerant to flow in the condensation duct 511 to increase the heat exchange amount, the condensation duct 511 is arranged in a curved shape, the condensation duct 511 has a plurality of main condensation duct sections 513 arranged in parallel, the plurality of main condensation duct sections 513 are arranged substantially in one plane or in an arc-shaped curved surface, and the plurality of main condensation duct sections 513 are connected in series as one body by a plurality of connection duct sections 514.

The connecting pipe sections 514 are semicircular or have other curve shapes, two ends of the connecting pipe sections 514 are respectively connected to two adjacent main condensing pipe sections 513, along the arrangement direction of the plurality of main condensing pipe sections 513, the first connecting pipe section 514 is connected with the right ends of the first main condensing pipe section 513 and the second main condensing pipe section 513, the second connecting pipe section 514 is connected with the left ends of the second main condensing pipe section 513 and the third main condensing pipe section 513, and so on, so as to form a continuously bent condensing pipe 511, and the condensing pipe 511 obtains a larger total length in a smaller space, thereby being beneficial to improving heat exchange capacity.

It should be noted that, two adjacent main condensation pipe sections 513 may be disposed in parallel or have a certain included angle, and may be disposed as required.

The condenser 510 receives the high-temperature refrigerant supplied from the compressor 530, and when the refrigerant flows in the condenser 510, heat is emitted to the outside, and the temperature of the refrigerant is synchronously reduced.

In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of main condensing pipe sections 513 have a space therebetween, and the temperature of the refrigerant gradually decreases along the flow direction of the refrigerant, and the space between two adjacent main condensing pipe sections 513 is changed.

It will be appreciated that as shown in fig. 27-30, the space between adjacent two main condensing tube sections 513 is a row spacing that allows air to circulate. As the cooling demand varies due to the variation of the refrigerant temperature, the line pitches are set to have a tendency to decrease in the arrangement direction, that is, the pitch between the upstream adjacent main condensing pipe sections 513 is larger than the pitch between the downstream adjacent main condensing pipe sections 513, as shown in detail in the first pitch H1 and the second pitch H2 in fig. 28 and 29.

During the operation of the condenser 510, the refrigerant is fed from the end of the condenser pipe 511 with larger upstream distance, that is, the temperature of the refrigerant at the end of the condenser 510 with larger upstream distance is high, and the heat exchange speed is high. The lower one end of refrigerant temperature on condenser 510 adopts less row interval, and the arrangement of condenser pipe 511 is denser, through improving the difference in temperature of condenser pipe 511 and surrounding air, is favorable to promoting heat exchange efficiency.

In one embodiment of the invention, the spacing between upstream adjacent main condensing tube sections 513 is 1 to 2.5 times the spacing between downstream adjacent main condensing tube sections 513.

In the drinking apparatus, the condenser 510 is generally vertically arranged, and the refrigerant may flow from the bottom to the top of the condenser 510, or may flow from the top to the bottom of the condenser 510.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the top of each layer of condenser tube 511 is provided with a refrigerant inlet 515, the bottom is provided with a refrigerant outlet 516, and the condenser tube 511 extends in a roundabout manner from the refrigerant inlet 515 to the refrigerant outlet 516.

It can be appreciated that the condenser 511 extends around the direction from the refrigerant inlet 515 to the refrigerant outlet 516, so as to increase the length of the condenser 511 and the flowing time of the refrigerant in the condenser 511, thereby increasing the heat exchange amount. Meanwhile, because the resistance of the refrigerant moving from bottom to top in the condensation tube 511 is relatively high, in the embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant inlet 515 of each layer of condensation tube 511 is disposed at the top, the refrigerant outlet 516 is disposed at the bottom, and the refrigerant flows from top to bottom in each layer of condensation tube 511.

The refrigerant is input from the top of condenser pipe 511, and the bottom is exported, and condenser pipe 511's top row interval is great, and corresponding refrigerant temperature is high, and the heat transfer speed is faster. The temperature of the refrigerant corresponding to the smaller row spacing at the bottom of the condensation pipe 511 is lower, and the temperature difference between the condensation pipe 511 and the surrounding air is improved by densely arranging the main condensation pipe sections 513, so that the heat exchange efficiency is improved.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the condenser 510 includes a plurality of condensing tubes 511 arranged side by side to increase the circulation length and time of the refrigerant in the condensing tubes 511.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the condenser 510 includes two layers of condenser tubes 511, a first condenser tube 512a and a second condenser tube 512b, respectively, wherein the first condenser tube 512a and the second condenser tube 512b are respectively formed with a refrigerant inlet 515 at the top and a refrigerant outlet 516 at the bottom. The first condenser tube 512a and the second condenser tube 512b are arranged side by side, and two refrigerant outlets 516 are located at the bottom.

In the related art, the refrigerant enters along the refrigerant inlet 515 of the first condensation duct 512a, flows out along the refrigerant outlet 516 of the first condensation duct 512a, then enters the refrigerant outlet 516 of the second condensation duct 512b at the nearest distance, and finally flows out along the refrigerant inlet 515 of the second condensation duct 512 b. In the scheme, the refrigerant is subjected to a complete flow process from bottom to top, so that the flow resistance of the refrigerant is high, and the heat exchange efficiency is low.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerant inlet of the first condensation duct 512a is communicated with the outlet of the compressor 530 through the liquid inlet pipe 517a, the refrigerant outlet 516 of the first condensation duct 512a is communicated with the refrigerant inlet 515 of the second condensation duct 512b through the connecting pipe 517, and the refrigerant outlet of the second condensation duct 512b is communicated with the inlet of the evaporator 520 through the liquid outlet pipe 517 b. The refrigerant can still move from top to bottom in the second condensation duct 512b, the resistance of the refrigerant flowing is small, and the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 510 is high.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first condensation duct 512a is disposed on a side of the second condensation duct 512b facing away from the first container body, and the refrigerant flows through the first condensation duct 512a and the second condensation duct 512b in sequence, and the first condensation duct 512a and the second condensation duct 512b are attached.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the connecting pipe 517 is a straight pipe, which shortens the path length of the refrigerant flowing from bottom to top as much as possible, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser 510.

It will be appreciated that the space between adjacent main condensing duct sections 513 is a line spacing that allows for air circulation. The condenser 510 has a plurality of condenser tubes 511 arranged side by side, and each layer of condenser tubes 511 has an inner and outer order when the condenser tubes 511 are arranged.
