Existing refrigerators may generate a large amount of condensed water or defrost water under conditions of high humidity or in defrost mode, for example, causing water in the evaporating dish 10 to overflow, creating a safety hazard. The root cause of this situation is that the evaporation capacity of the evaporation pan 10 in the refrigerator is insufficient, and if the evaporation speed is increased by simply increasing the capacity of the evaporation pan 10, increasing the length of the heating pipe 20 or adding a heat dissipation fan, the whole volume of the refrigerator is increased, and the production cost of the refrigerator is also increased.

The refrigerator adopting the evaporation device provided by the application increases the area of water evaporation on the premise of not increasing the capacity of the evaporation pan 10 or increasing the length of the heating pipe 20. Meanwhile, in practical application, the part of the heating pipe 20 exposed outside the evaporation pan 10 has higher temperature than the part in the evaporation pan 10, so that the application fully utilizes the heat emitted by the heating pipe 20, and the evaporation efficiency of the water in the evaporation pan 10 is increased under the condition of not improving the whole energy consumption of the refrigerator.

As shown in fig. 1 to 4, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an evaporation apparatus including an evaporation pan 10, a heating pipe 20, and a water absorbing material 30. The heating pipe 20 comprises a first heating part 201 arranged in the evaporation pan 10 and a second heating part 202 extending out of the evaporation pan 10, and the first heating part 201 is directly connected with the second heating part 202; the water absorbing material 30 is wrapped around the outer side of the second heating portion 202, and the water absorbing material 30 extends from the outer side to the inner side of the evaporation pan 10.

As shown in fig. 3, specifically, the first heating portion 201 of the heating tube 20 is a U-shaped coiled tube, and the first heating portion 201 is uniformly laid in the evaporation pan 10. The second heating portion 202 of the heating tube 20 is directly connected with the first heating portion 201, and the connection portion between the second heating portion 202 and the first heating portion 201 is a bent structure, so that the second heating portion 202 can extend out of the evaporation pan 10 without changing the structure of the evaporation pan 10. When condensed water exists in the evaporation pan 10, the heating pipe 20 can heat the water in the evaporation pan 10 to increase the evaporation rate of the water. Meanwhile, the water absorbing material 30 is wrapped and arranged on the outer side of the second heating portion 202, and the water absorbing material 30 extends into the evaporation pan 10 and can be used for absorbing moisture in the evaporation pan 10, the second heating portion 202 heats the water absorbing material 30 to accelerate evaporation of the moisture in the water absorbing material 30, the evaporation area of the moisture is increased, and then the evaporation efficiency of the moisture is increased. Therefore, the evaporation device provided by the application has good evaporation effect no matter the water level line in the evaporation pan 10 is higher than, equal to or lower than the first heating part 201, and can prevent the water in the evaporation pan 10 from overflowing to generate potential safety hazards.

Alternatively, the portion of the water absorbing material 30 extending into the evaporation pan 10 forms a water absorbing end, and the water absorbing end is flush with the top end of the first heating part 201. When the water line in the evaporation pan 10 is higher than the top end of the first heating part 201, the water absorbing end of the water absorbing material 30 can absorb the moisture in the evaporation pan 10 to the outside of the second heating part 202 to increase the area where the moisture evaporates. Further, the first heating part 201 is prevented from being immersed by the water in the evaporation pan 10, resulting in a reduction in the heating effect of the first heating part 201.

Alternatively, the evaporation pan 10 has a square or rectangular shape, so that the first heating portion 201 of the heating tube 20 can be more uniformly disposed in the evaporation pan 10.

In some embodiments, one or both ends of the first heating part 201 are connected to provide the second heating part 202.

Alternatively, one of both ends of the first heating part 201 is bent upward to form the second heating part 202, or both ends are respectively bent upward to form the second heating part 202. To extend the evaporation pan 10 from an opening above the evaporation pan 10.

In a specific application, as shown in fig. 1, two ends of the first heating portion 201 are respectively bent upwards to form second heating portions 202, and a water absorbing material 30 is wrapped on an outer wall of each second heating portion 202.

As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments, the water absorbent material 30 is provided with a clamping groove 301, so that the water absorbent material 30 can be clamped to the second heating portion 202.

Specifically, a clamping groove 301 is disposed on one side of the water absorbent material 30, and the water absorbent material 30 is an elastic material, so that the water absorbent material 30 can be more conveniently clamped to the second heating portion 202 or removed from the second heating portion 202. For example, the absorbent material 30 may be a water absorbent sponge and/or a spunlaced nonwoven. In practical applications, if the water absorbent material 30 is a spun-laced nonwoven fabric, the spun-laced nonwoven fabric may be directly wrapped around the outer side of the second heating portion 202, or the spun-laced nonwoven fabric may be wrapped around the outer side of a clamping member having good thermal conductivity such as silver or copper, and then the clamping member is clamped to the outer side of the second heating portion 202. Optionally, the main body of the water absorbing material 30 is a water absorbing sponge, and the outside of the main body is coated with a spun-laced non-woven fabric.

It will be appreciated that the use of the water absorbing sponge as the main body of the water absorbing material 30 can ensure water absorption while also having sufficient elasticity so that the water absorbing material 30 will not fall off when being clamped to the second heating portion 202 and is more convenient to remove and replace. Meanwhile, the spun-laced non-woven fabric has the advantages of high strength, good moisture absorption performance, difficult fuzzing and the like, and the evaporation efficiency and the service life of the evaporation device can be improved by using the spun-laced non-woven fabric.

As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments, the evaporation pan 10 is provided with a limiting structure 101 for limiting the first heating portion 201 of the heating tube 20.

It can be appreciated that when the first heating portion 201 of the heating tube 20 is laid in the evaporation pan 10, if the position of the first heating portion 201 is shifted, the first heating portion 201 may only heat a portion of condensed water in the evaporation pan 10, but not heat another portion of condensed water effectively, so as to reduce the evaporation effect.

Specifically, the limiting structure 101 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the evaporation pan 10, and when the first heating portion 201 of the heating pipe 20 is uniformly laid in the evaporation pan 10, the first heating portion 201 can be limited by the limiting structure 101, so that the position of the first heating portion 201 is prevented from being deviated, and the evaporation efficiency of the evaporation device is reduced. Optionally, the limiting structure 101 and the evaporating dish 10 are integrally formed, so as to increase the stability of the limiting structure 101.

As shown in fig. 3, in some embodiments, the first heating portion 201 includes a straight tube segment 2011 and a curved tube segment 2012. The straight pipe sections 2011 are arranged in the evaporation pan 10 at intervals in parallel; the curved pipe section 2012 is used to connect the straight pipe sections 2011. Wherein the limiting structure 101 is disposed corresponding to the curved pipe section 2012.

Specifically, the first heating portion 201 includes a plurality of straight tube sections 2011, the plurality of straight tube sections 2011 are uniformly disposed in the evaporation pan 10, the curved tube section 2012 is used for communicating two adjacent straight tube sections 2011, the straight tube sections 2011 and the curved tube sections 2012 of the first heating portion 201 are directly connected, and the second heating portion 202 is directly connected with an end portion of the straight tube sections 2011 of the first heating portion 201.

As shown in fig. 3, in practical application, taking the first heating portion 201 as an example, the first heating portion 201 includes four straight pipe sections 2011, a first end of the first straight pipe section 2011 is connected to one second heating portion 202, and a second end of the first straight pipe section 2011 is connected to a first end of the first curved pipe section 2012; the first end of the second straight pipe section 2011 is connected to the second end of the first curved pipe section 2012, and the second end is connected to the first end of the second straight pipe section 2011; the first end of the third straight tube segment 2011 is connected to the second end of the second tube segment 2012 and the second end is connected to the first end of the third tube segment 2012; the first end of the fourth straight pipe segment 2011 is connected to the second end of the third curved pipe segment 2012, and the second end is connected to another second heating portion 202. Wherein, the distance between two adjacent straight pipe sections 2011 is equal.

As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments, a bracket 102 is further disposed in the evaporation pan 10 for supporting the first heating portion 201 of the heating tube 20 such that the first heating portion 201 is at the first height position.

It will be appreciated that in the operation of the conventional refrigerator, the compressor 40 and the like inevitably generate vibration and transmit the vibration to the heating pipe 20. At this time, the first heating part 201 may collide with the bottom of the evaporation pan 10 due to vibration, which may not only generate noise but also reduce the service life of the heating pipe 20.

Specifically, a plurality of brackets 102 for supporting the first heating part 201 of the heating pipe 20 are uniformly provided at the bottom of the evaporation pan 10 to prevent the first heating part 201 from directly contacting the bottom surface of the evaporation pan 10.

In an actual application scenario, the first height position may be appropriately adjusted according to the dimensions of the evaporating dish 10 and the heating tube 20, which is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the evaporation apparatus further comprises a vibration damping block. The vibration damping block is disposed below the water absorbing material 30 in the second heating portion 202.

Specifically, the vibration reduction block is made of rubber material, and is disposed on the second heating portion 202, so as to consume the pressure pulsation energy of the compressor 40 and reduce the transmission of vibration. Optionally, the damping block is also provided with a clamping groove 301, so that the damping block can be clamped to the second heating portion 202, and a user can replace or maintain the damping block conveniently.

It can be understood that the rubber material has high damping and high elasticity, the high damping can improve the energy consumption capacity, and the high elasticity has better effect on vibration reduction. In practical applications, the damping characteristics of the shock absorbing member can also be changed by changing the manufacturing materials of the shock absorbing member, so as to adjust the energy consumption capacity of the shock absorbing member, such as butyl rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, nitrile rubber and the like.

In some embodiments, the evaporation device further comprises a water level sensor and a warning device. The water level sensor is arranged in the evaporation pan 10 and can be used for detecting the water level in the evaporation pan 10; the warning device is electrically connected with the water level sensor. Wherein the warning means may be triggered when the water level sensor detects that the water level in the evaporation pan 10 exceeds the second height position.

In an actual application scenario, the second height position may be appropriately adjusted according to the evaporation efficiency of the evaporation device, which is not limited herein.

In some practical applications, the warning device may be an alarm that may draw the attention of the user, such as a sound emitting device and/or a light emitting device.

In the presently disclosed embodiment, the first height position and the second height position are the same in height reference, for example, with respect to the bottom wall of the evaporation pan 10.

In this embodiment, the gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 40 flows through the heating tube 20 of the evaporation device, and the gaseous refrigerant flowing through the heating tube 20 heats the water in the evaporation pan 10 and the water absorbing material 30 of the second heating portion 202 through the heating tube 20.

In the present embodiment, the discharge pipe 401 is a pipe line between the discharge port of the compressor 40 and the condenser.

Optionally, the heating tube 20 is connected in series between the exhaust tube 401 and the condenser. The gaseous refrigerant discharged from the compressor 40 enters the heating pipe 20 to heat the water in the evaporating dish 10 before entering the condenser. In practical application, a first auxiliary pipeline is further connected in series between the heating pipe 20 and the condenser, so that the heating pipe 20 is conveniently communicated with the condenser.

Optionally, the heating tube 20 is connected in series between the exhaust port of the compressor 40 and the exhaust pipe 401. The gas refrigerant discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor 40 is introduced into the heating pipe 20 to heat the water in the evaporating dish 10.
