Storehouse
Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a storehouse. In one aspect of the present disclosure, a storehouse may include a first storage space configured to provide a space in which goods are stored within a predetermined temperature or a predetermined temperature range and a second storage space configured to provide a space in which a first heat exchanger is accommodated. The storehouse may include a third storage space configured to provide a space in which a second heat exchanger is accommodated. The storehouse may include a defrost heater provided to be in contact with the first heat exchanger so as to defrost the first heat exchanger by conduction. The second storage space may be fluidly connected to the first storage space.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A storehouse comprising:
a first space configured to provide a space in which goods are stored; a second space configured to provide a space in which a first heat exchanger is accommodated; a third space configured to provide a space in which a second heat exchanger is accommodated; a first wall defining at least a part of the first space; a second wall defining at least a part of the second e space; a third wall defining at least a part of the third space; and heater provided to be in contact with the first heat exchanger so as to heat the first heat exchanger by conduction, wherein the second space is fluidly connected to the first a space.
2 . The storehouse of claim 1 ,
wherein at least one of the first wall or the second wall includes a partition wall configured to divide the first space and the second space, and wherein the heater is disposed adjacent to the partition wall.
3 . The storehouse of claim 2 ,
wherein the second tog space includes a heat exchanger case configured to accommodate the first heat exchanger, and wherein the heat exchanger case includes an opened end surface defining an opening through which the first heat exchanger is introduced into an interior of the heat exchanger case.
4 . The storehouse of claim 3 , wherein the opened end surface of the heat exchanger case is in contact with the partition wall.
5 . The storehouse of claim 4 , wherein at least a portion of the heater is disposed in a space between the first heat exchanger and the partition wall.
6 . The storehouse of claim 1 , wherein the first heat exchanger includes a refrigerant pipe and a plurality of fins, and
wherein heater is disposed to be in contact with at least one of the plurality of fins.
7 . The storehouse of claim 6 ,
wherein the first heat exchanger further includes a support plate that is provided on at least one side of the plurality of fins and forms a pipe penetration opening through which the refrigerant pipe passes, and wherein the f heater is disposed to be in contact with the support plate.
8 . The storehouse of claim 7 , wherein the heater includes:
a first heater passing through the plurality of fins; and a second heater connected to the first heater and protruding to an outside of the support plate.
9 . The storehouse of claim 6 ,
wherein the refrigerant pipe is arranged in multiple stages in a direction in which the first and second ea spaces are arranged, and wherein the heater includes a first heater provided at a first end of the refrigerant pipe and a second heater provided at a second end of the refrigerant pipe.
10 . The storehouse of claim 6 , wherein the heater is configured to be forcibly fitted to at least one of the fins.
11 . The storehouse of claim 6 , wherein the heater is configured to be inserted into or seated on a heater groove of at least one of the fins.
12 . The storehouse of claim 11 , wherein the heater groove is a recess in an edge of the at least one of the fins.
13 . The storehouse of claim 11 ,
wherein the at least one of the fins includes a fin body forming the heater groove and a fin wall bent from the fin body at a point where the heater groove is formed, and wherein the fin wall provides a seating surface of the heater.
14 . The storehouse of claim 7 ,
wherein the support plate forms a plate groove to which the heater is coupled, and wherein the plate groove is recessed in an edge of the support plate.
15 . The storehouse of claim 14 , wherein the plate groove includes:
a first groove where the heater is seated or inserted; and a second groove provides a deformation space, wherein the heater groove has a larger width than the first groove such that a part of the support plate is deformed when the heater is coupled to the first groove.
16 . The storehouse of claim 6 , wherein the heater is disposed to pass through at least one of the fins.
17 . The storehouse of claim 16 , wherein the heater is configured to be inserted into the fin and expanded to be in contact with at least one of the fins.
18 . The storehouse of claim 16 ,
wherein the at least one of the fins includes a fin body forming a fin through hole through which the heater passes, and a fin collar protruding from the fin body at a point where the fin through hole is formed, and wherein the fin collar is configured to support a part of an outer circumferential surface of the heater.
19 . The storehouse of claim 3 , wherein the heat exchanger case includes a lower wall below the first heat exchanger and the heater, the lower wall including a drain hole to remove fluid from the second space.
20 . The storehouse of claim 19 , wherein an inner surface of the lower wall of the heat exchanger case is sloped downward toward the drain hole.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
