Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a spill of drain during carriage and to improve the vaporization of drain during installation by a method wherein a weir member is formed on the bottom of a drain storage part. SOLUTION: Weir members 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, and 67 protruding upward from the upper surface of the bottom plate and having a given height and a given length are formed in the given positions of a bottom plate 58 of a storage part 53 in a state to extend in the longitudinal or the lateral direction of the storage part 53 and this constitution prevents spill of drain during carriage. Further, in the weir members 62, 63, 64, and 65 positioned in a portion to which air from an air supply device is supplied and which extends orthogonally to the supply direction of air, an inclination part 69 is formed such that it more inclines in a direction, in which the weir members are spaced away from an air supply device, with the progress of upward inclination. This constitution causes drain to flow over the inclination part 69 by a wind pressure of air and improves evaporative efficiency owing to the increase of a contact area between air and drain.

In the refrigerating mechanism, when a continuous cooling operation is performed, frost grows in a layer on the surface of the cooler and the cooling capacity (efficiency) is reduced. When the frost amount exceeds a predetermined value, a defrosting operation is performed to melt and remove the attached frost. Further, dew condensation occurs on the outer surface side of the glass door due to a temperature difference between the outside air temperature and the storage room temperature. Therefore, defrost water and dew water generated during the defrost operation are collected at the bottom of the storage chamber, and then guided to an evaporating dish (also referred to as a “drain pan”) installed at the lower part of the machine room. Stored temporarily. Then, the drainage such as defrost water and dew condensation water stored in the evaporating dish is forcibly and efficiently discharged by, for example, blowing heated air which is used for cooling a condenser constituting the refrigeration mechanism. It is designed to evaporate. The evaporating dish is set so that it can be put in and out from the front side of the main body of the refrigerator, and when a large amount of wastewater is stored at one time, the evaporating dish can be taken out and the wastewater can be discarded. .

As described above, since the evaporating dish is installed in the gap defined between the bottom surface of the refrigerator main body and the installation floor, as described above, it has a flat rectangular shape. A tray type in which a frame-shaped wall portion having a reduced height dimension is integrally formed on the four edge portions of the bottom plate to define a wide and thin storage portion. In some cases, an eave portion extending horizontally outward is integrally provided at an upper end portion of the wall portion, or the bottom plate is formed into an uneven shape,
Deformation due to torsion, distortion, and the like is prevented. However, in such a tray-type evaporating dish, there is no weir member or the like for preventing the movement of the wastewater stored in the storage part, so that even when the drawer is pulled out from the main body of the refrigerator or lifted and transported. When tilted back and forth or left and right, the entire drainage moves at once, causing a large wave, and there is a problem that the wastewater spills out of the evaporating dish. In addition, in order to efficiently evaporate wastewater by blowing heated air, it is important to increase the area of the drainage surface (the contact area with the heated air) by widening the upper opening area of the storage section. However, given the size of the refrigerator, it is difficult to enlarge the evaporating dish. Therefore, it has been difficult to improve the evaporation efficiency of the conventional evaporation dish.

On the other hand, if the refrigeration mechanism 30 is continuously cooled, the frost grows in layers on the surface of the cooler 33 and the cooling capacity is reduced. If the amount exceeds a predetermined value, a defrosting operation is performed. The defrost water generated by this defrosting operation is once collected on the bottom surface of the storage chamber 20, and then discharged to the storage section 53 of the evaporating dish 50 via the drain pipe 48. Since the drainage due to the defrost water is generated in a relatively large amount by one defrosting operation, the drainage is stored in a state where the drainage reaches the entire storage unit 53, but the first weir members 59, 60, 61 and the second weir member 6
2, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67 project upward from the surface of the drainage water. Then, when the heated air blown out through the second fan 44 in the blower 36 is blown against a predetermined amount of wastewater stored in the storage unit 53,
Due to the wind pressure of the heated air, a part of the drainage rides on the inclined portion 69 of the second weir members 62, 63, 64, 65 (FIG. 10). As a result, the area of the drainage surface (the contact area with the heated air) increases, so that the evaporation efficiency is improved and the time required for the evaporation of the wastewater is reduced.

As described above, according to the evaporating dish of the apparatus having the refrigerating mechanism according to the present invention, the weir member protruding upward from the bottom plate of the storage unit erroneously transports the evaporating dish. Even if the evaporating dish is tilted back and forth or left and right, there is an advantage that the movement of the entire drainage accumulated in the storage section is prevented, and the undulating drainage can be suitably prevented from spilling. In addition, in the evaporating dish of the device having a refrigeration mechanism having a blower, an inclined portion is formed in a weir member that is located at a position where air is blown from the blower and extends in a direction orthogonal to the direction of air blowing. By doing so, the drainage is raised on the inclined portion by the wind pressure of the air, so that the contact area between the air and the drainage is increased, and an extremely advantageous effect that the improvement of the evaporation efficiency can be achieved. . That is, the evaporation efficiency can be improved without increasing the outer size of the evaporating dish.
