BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to an evaporative water evaporating apparatus that is generated in a refrigerator, and more particularly, to a defrost water evaporating apparatus using waste heat generated in a compressor.

Generally, in a refrigerator and a showcase in which the temperature inside the refrigerator body can be controlled through a cooling cycle of the refrigerant, the defrost water necessarily generated in the evaporator refrigerant evaporation process must be discharged to the outside of the refrigerator. Meanwhile, in the conventional refrigerator, a drain plate is installed in the lower part of the evaporator in order to remove the defrost water generated in the evaporator, a drain pipe communicating with the drain plate is downwardly extended, When a certain amount of defrost water collects in the drain pan, the user drains the drain pan directly to the outside of the refrigerator, and then discharges the purified water through the process of emptying the drain pan. . However, in the seasons with a lot of humidity such as in summer, the amount of the generated water is particularly increased, and accordingly, there has been an inconvenience that the drain pan has to be emptied more frequently.

As described in Patent Application No. 1998-38017, conventionally, a device for removing the defrost water by using the heat of a compressor used in a refrigerator has been proposed, but this also has a high concern about corrosion of the pipe connected to the compressor Since there is only a single drain, when the amount of dehydrated water is large, there is often a case where the dehydrated water overflows into the refrigerator, resulting in high consumer dissatisfaction.

Brief Description of the Drawings The advantages and features of the invention disclosed herein and the manner of achieving them will become apparent with reference to the embodiments described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood, however, that the description is not limited to the embodiments disclosed herein but may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the specific embodiments set forth herein, (Hereinafter " a person skilled in the art ") to fully disclose the scope of this specification, and the scope of the present description is only defined by the scope of the claims.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing the embodiments and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. The terms " comprises "and / or" comprising "used in the specification do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements in addition to the stated element. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification and "and / or" include each and every combination of one or more of the elements mentioned. Although "first "," second "and the like are used to describe various components, it is needless to say that these components are not limited by these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish one component from another. Therefore, it goes without saying that the first component mentioned below may be the second component within the technical scope of the present invention.

Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. In addition, commonly used predefined terms are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless explicitly defined otherwise.

The terms spatially relative, "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper" And can be used to easily describe a correlation between an element and other elements. Spatially relative terms should be understood in terms of the directions shown in the drawings, including the different directions of components at the time of use or operation. For example, when inverting an element shown in the figures, an element described as "below" or "beneath" of another element may be placed "above" another element . Thus, the exemplary term "below" can include both downward and upward directions. The components can also be oriented in different directions, so that spatially relative terms can be interpreted according to orientation.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

According to the present invention, the distillation water evaporating apparatus according to the present invention evaporates the distillation water to room temperature by using the waste heat generated in the compressor without flowing the distillation water generated in the refrigerator to the installation floor of the user, .

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Fig. 1 is a reference view of a distillation water evaporator according to the present invention; Fig.

In the case of the conventional distillation water evaporating apparatus, the distillation water generated by using the waste heat of the compressor is evaporated. (10) The amount of the discharged air through the existing air discharge port is small. (4) The water vapor stagnated inside. As a result, the amount of evaporation is smaller than the amount of discharged water to be discharged, resulting in the problem of overflowing of the water to the outer floor.

(1) a compressor, (2) a condenser motor fan, (3) a condenser inlet side pipe, (4) an air duct cover, (5) a drain case, 6) hot pipe, (7) air outlet, and (8) evaporation pad.

To describe the path through which the heat is moved by the dehydrator evaporator according to the present invention, first, (1) the refrigerant compressed by the compressor is raised to a high temperature by compression. The hot refrigerant is (3) passed through the condenser inlet side pipe, and the temperature is reduced by the fan motor whose hot heat is primarily (3) adjacent to the condenser inlet side pipe. (4) The pipe is installed next to the air duct cover. (5) Evacuate the dehydrated water in the drain case.

(2) the hot wind of the motor fan of the con- ditioner is drawn into the interior of the air duct (8), (7) the steam evaporated from the drain case (7) And then discharged to the outside through the air outlet.

According to the present invention, when the installation environment is maintained hygienically because the amount of the evaporated water is increased and the amount of the evaporated water does not overflow to the floor as compared with the conventional art, the heat generated in the compressor by using the water contained in the drain case It is possible to improve the performance for maintaining the temperature inside the furnace by reducing the temperature of the refrigerant gas for evaporation and to reduce the cost due to the small size of the condenser.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. You will understand. Therefore, it should be understood that the above-described embodiments are illustrative in all aspects and not restrictive.
