Detailed Description

The embodiments of the present invention will be further explained with reference to the drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, in the embodiment of the condensed water collecting device and the refrigerator of the present invention, the condensed water collecting device is described by taking a refrigerator as an example, the condensed water collecting device includes a container 4 for placing condensed water generated by the refrigerator 1 and collected by a pipeline or a structure arranged inside the refrigerator 1, a connecting pipe 5 between a compressor 21 and a condenser 22 of the refrigerator is further arranged in the container 4, and the connecting pipe 5 passes through high-temperature gaseous refrigerant when the refrigerator 1 operates; the connection pipe 5 is disposed at the bottom of the container 4, and the temperature of the condensed water in the container 4 is increased by thermal diffusion thereof, thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of the condensed water in the container 4. Referring to fig. 1, the connection pipe 5 is disposed in the container 4 in a serpentine shape or a spiral shape. It should be noted that fig. 1 is a bottom view with a certain angle from bottom to top, so that in the enlarged part a of fig. 1, the connecting pipe 5 is shown by a dotted line, which indicates that the connecting pipe 5 should be shielded by the container 4 and the crash box 6 at the angle of fig. 1, but the position thereof is shown by a dotted line for illustrating the position thereof.

In the present embodiment, the connection pipe 5 is led out from the compressor 21, enters the container 4 at one end of the container 4 through a set path, and is led out from the same end of the container 4 through the arrangement in the container 4, and is connected to the condenser 22 again along the set path, see the enlarged part B of fig. 2.

Meanwhile, the outside of the connection pipe 5 provided in the vessel 4 is provided with a protective layer (not shown) for preventing the connection pipe 5 from being corroded due to long-term exposure to water, the protective layer including a heat shrinkable tube fitted over the connection pipe 5. The heat shrinkable tube has a characteristic of shrinking when it is heated, so that the heat shrinkable tube wraps the connection pipe 5 more and more tightly even when the refrigerating unit 2 operates, thereby functioning to isolate the condensed water from the outer surface of the connection pipe 5.

In this embodiment, the container 4 has a bottom surface and four side walls, the connecting tube 5 enters the container 4 from one side wall, and the serpentine or spiral portion of the connecting tube 5 is placed and fixed on the bottom surface of the container 4. In this embodiment, the sidewall of the connecting tube 4 entering or extending out of the container 4 is a rear sidewall thereof, which is also a sidewall of the container 4 close to the back of the smart device 1 in the width direction; on the other hand, in the longitudinal direction of the container 4 (i.e. in the depth direction of the refrigeration unit 2), the two opposite side walls of the container 4 are provided with evaporation holes 41 for allowing the water vapor formed when the condensed water is evaporated by heating to enter the external environment. In this embodiment, the top of the two side walls of the container 4 in the length direction is further provided with an outward flange forming 90 degrees with the side walls, and the outward flange is provided with a fixing hole for fixing the container on the bottom surface of the refrigeration unit 2.

In addition, the condensed water collecting apparatus further includes a crash box 6, the crash box 6 being provided at a position where the connection pipe 5 enters or protrudes from the container 4, for surrounding the connection pipe 5 entering or exiting the container 4, and preventing an external object from colliding with the connection pipe 5. Similarly, the crash box is also fixed to the bottom surface of the refrigeration unit 2 by flanging. The bottom surface of the refrigeration unit 2 is also provided with supporting legs 11, so that the bottom surface of the refrigeration unit 2 is away from the ground by a certain distance, and the installation of the condensed water collecting device is facilitated.

The utility model discloses still relate to a freezer, including refrigerating unit 2 and the water receiving box 3 of collecting the comdenstion water that this freezer 1 produced, water receiving box 3 includes above-mentioned comdenstion water collection device.

In the intelligent refrigerated cabinet, the refrigeration unit 2 is arranged at the top of the refrigerated cabinet 1, the water receiving box 3 is arranged at the bottom of the refrigerated cabinet 1, and the connecting pipe 5 extends from the top of the refrigerated cabinet 1 to the bottom of the intelligent express cabinet 1 along a set path and returns to the top of the intelligent express cabinet 1 along the path. The designated path includes a connecting duct slot 12 provided at the rear of the refrigerated cabinet.

In general, in the refrigerator of the present embodiment, condensed water is discharged into a water receiving box 3 fixed to the bottom of the cabinet and specially receiving the condensed water, the water receiving box 3 includes a container 4, a connecting pipe 5 disposed in the container 4, and a crash box 6, and the container 4 is opened near the top to facilitate the dispersion of water vapor into the air. The exhaust pipe (i.e. the connecting pipe 5) of the top compressor 21 is led into the container 4 through the inner guide groove (the connecting pipe groove 12) of the foaming cabinet body and arranged in a spiral or snake shape, and then returns to the condenser 22 along the original path, and when the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant which is just discharged by the compressor 21 and is not cooled by the condenser 22 passes through the spiral or snake-shaped pipeline at the bottom, a part of heat is released to heat condensed water in the container 4, so that the condensed water is quickly evaporated into the air. Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the cabinet bottom has enough space for transporting a forklift, the overall dimension of the water receiving box must be correspondingly limited and must not interfere with the machine legs. Thus, the exhaust pipe (i.e. the connecting pipe 5) between the compressor 21 and the condenser 22 is lengthened to enter the container 4 through the internal guide groove (the connecting pipe groove 12) of the cabinet body to be arranged in a snake shape/spiral shape and fixed at the bottom of the container 4, and the exhaust pipe in the container 4 is tightened after being sleeved with a layer of heat-shrinkable sleeve, so that the service life of the pipeline is prevented from being influenced by long-term corrosion of water. Then, the high temperature gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 21 flows into the serpentine/spiral pipe below the cabinet through the exhaust pipe and then returns to the condenser 22, the condensed water discharged from the middle drain hole at the bottom of the cabinet drops into the container 4 through the guidance of the pipeline or the structure, the temperature rises after being heated by the heat released by the exhaust pipe to accelerate the evaporation speed, and the water vapor is discharged into the air through the side wall hole of the water receiving box. Thereby avoiding the problem that the water can not be cleaned after being gathered. And the water receiving box is placed between 2 machine feet in the middle of the bottom of the cabinet body, the width of the water receiving box is smaller than that of an inner fork opening of a standard forklift, and an anti-collision box 6 is additionally arranged at the exposed part of a bottom copper pipe, so that the convenience and the safety of the transportation process of the forklift are ensured.

The above-mentioned embodiments only represent some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is specific and detailed, but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, several variations and modifications can be made, which are within the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
