JPH062086U - Defrosting water evaporator for refrigerator - Google Patents

Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Object] An object of the present invention is to provide a defrosting water evaporation device for a refrigerator, which does not take up space and has a high evaporation efficiency. [Structure] Wastewater that discharges defrosting water along the outer side wall while horizontally arranging a condenser plate that has a box-like shape with the outer periphery raised up to the bottom of the refrigerator except the front side and the evaporating dish is placed inside It is characterized by diverting the pipe.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a defrosting water evaporation device for a refrigerator.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, the defrosting water that has adhered to the evaporator during defrosting is collected in a dew tray, drawn out of the refrigerator by a drain pipe, guided to an evaporation tray placed on a condenser plate horizontally installed at the bottom of the refrigerator, and then a cooling unit. The defrosting water is evaporated by utilizing the heat radiation of the capacitor plate during the operation. However, depending on the room temperature and the operating condition of the cooling unit, the heat dissipation of the condenser plate may be reduced and it may not evaporate easily, so a large evaporation pan is required to prevent defrost water from overflowing, and the bottom of the refrigerator must be raised. In addition, it occupies a wide area and causes problems such as difficulty in arranging the compressor of the cooling unit.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and aims to reduce the size of the evaporating dish by effectively utilizing the heat dissipation of the condenser plate, and to facilitate the arrangement of the compressor and the like of the cooling unit. It is intended to provide a defrost water evaporator.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above purpose, the outer periphery of the condenser plate is raised to form a box shape with the front and the top open, and the evaporation tray is placed in the box-shaped condenser plate while the drain pipe is connected. Bypassing along the side wall of the condenser plate, it was guided to the evaporation dish.

[0005]

[Advantages] According to the above configuration, the condenser plate is formed in a box shape, the evaporation tray is housed inside, and the drain pipe is arranged along the side wall of the condenser plate to dissipate heat from the capacitor plate inside the evaporation tray. The defrosting water can be easily evaporated by transmitting it to the drainage pipe on the outside and effectively utilizing the heat radiation of the capacitor plate.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the details of the present invention. Reference numeral 1 is a condenser plate 1 horizontally arranged at the bottom of a refrigerator, and except for the front, the outer periphery of the flat condenser plate 1 is raised to form a side wall. Then, it is made into a box shape so that the evaporation tray 2 can be detachably attached to the inside from the front. A hole 4 into which the tip of the drainage pipe 3 is fitted is provided on one side wall of the condenser plate 1, and the drainage pipe 3 that is pulled out downward from the inside of the refrigerator along the refrigerator housing is along the side wall of the condenser plate 1. It is attached so as to bypass the L shape and fit into the hole 4 to discharge the defrost water to the evaporation tray 2. A heat exchange pipe (indicated by a dotted line in the figure) is embedded in the bottom surface of the condenser plate 1, and hot gas is caused to flow by the cooling unit to exchange heat with the defrosting water of the evaporation tray 2 and the surrounding air, thereby refrigerating gas. I'm trying to cool. Inside the box-shaped condenser plate 1, heat is dissipated from the condenser plate 1 to the defrosting water of the evaporation tray 2 relatively efficiently, but on the outside, heat is dissipated into the air to evaporate the defrosting water. It wasn't working effectively. According to the present invention, the drain pipe 3 is diverted along the outer side wall of the box-shaped condenser plate 1 so that the drain pipe 3 is closely contacted with the side wall, so that the defrosting water flowing through the drain pipe 3 is dissipated and warmed. The evaporation of the can be accelerated.

[0007]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the condenser plate of the cooling unit is formed in a box shape, the evaporating dish is arranged inside and the drain pipe is arranged in close contact with the outside side wall, so that the heat dissipation of the condenser plate is effectively utilized. As a result, the defrosting water can be evaporated, and as a result, the size of the evaporation dish can be reduced and the arrangement of the cooling unit compressor and the like can be facilitated.
