Below with reference to the refrigerator of accompanying drawing description according to the embodiment of the invention.
As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2,, comprise casing 1, chamber door (not shown), wind inlet channel 2, return airway 3, evaporimeter 4, blower fan 5, drip tray 6 and heating component 7 according to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the invention.
Particularly, can have refrigerating chamber 12, refrigerating chamber 11 and evaporator room 13 in the casing 1.Refrigerating chamber 11, refrigerating chamber 12 can be used for stored article, and evaporator room 13 can be used to place evaporimeter 4.
The chamber door (not shown) is pivotably mounted on and is used to open and close refrigerating chamber 12 and refrigerating chamber 12 on the casing 1, so that pick and place the article of refrigerating chamber 12 and refrigerating chamber 11 and with refrigerating chamber 12 and refrigerating chamber 11 and casing 1 external isolation.
Particularly, wind inlet channel 2 is communicated with refrigerating chamber 11 and evaporator room 13 respectively and is used for the cold wind in the evaporator room 13 are introduced refrigerating chamber 11; Return airway 3 is communicated with the air that is used for refrigerating chamber 11 respectively and draws go back to evaporator room 13 with refrigerating chamber 11 and evaporator room 13.Thus, the cold wind in the evaporator room 13 can be offered refrigerating chamber 11 constantly, to satisfy the refrigeration demand of refrigerating chamber 11.
In order to improve the air feed efficient of 13 pairs of refrigerating chambers 11 of evaporator room, blower fan 5 is located at the air that is used in the evaporator room 13 in the evaporator room 13 and blows to wind inlet channel 2, and enters in the refrigerating chamber 11.
Drip tray 6 in evaporator room 13, be located at evaporimeter 4 below to receive the defrost water of evaporimeter 4.Heating component 7 is fixed on the drip tray 6 so that drip tray 6 is heated.
Refrigerator according to the embodiment of the invention comprises the drip tray 6 that is arranged in the evaporator room 13 and is arranged on evaporimeter 4 belows, on drip tray 6, be fixed with heating component 7, heating component 7 can heat the water in the drip tray 6, produce steam, steam can enter in the refrigerating chamber 11 by wind inlet channel 2, increase the humidity in the refrigerating chamber 11, improve the moistening effect of cold compartment of refrigerator 11.
Referring to shown in Figure 1, according to some embodiments of the present invention, heating component 7 can comprise heater strip 71, and heater strip 71 can be connected with the control circuit of refrigerator, and control circuit can be controlled the duty of heater strip 71 as the case may be.Heater strip 71 can be located on the bottom surface of drip tray 6.Thus, can improve heater strip 71 to the defrost water efficiencies of heating surface in the drip tray 6.
Alternatively, can be provided with heater strip 71 on the sidewall of drip tray 6.Thus, can further improve the efficiency of heating surface, shorten the defrost evaporation of water time in the drip tray 6.
Further, heater strip 71 can be arranged on the outer surface of drip tray 6.Thus, by drip tray, for example be metal dish; carry out heat and transmit, heater strip not with drip tray 6 in defrost water directly contact, can effectively protect heater strip 71; prevent the generation of phenomenons such as heater strip 71 and water effect fouling or corrosion, prolonged the service life of heater strip 71.
Preferably, heater strip 71 can extend upward and be corresponding to the position of evaporimeter 4 evaporimeter 4 is heated defrosts.Thus,, also satisfied demand, further improved the white efficient that is converted into water, improved the humidity in the evaporator of refrigerator chamber 13, and then improved the humidity in the refrigerating chamber 11 the defrost evaporation of water improving defrost efficient simultaneously.
Referring to Fig. 1, according to examples more of the present invention, heater strip 71 can be fixed on the drip tray 6 by aluminum foil and adhesive tape.Thus, can make things convenient for the installation of heater strip 71, simplify the installation procedure of heater strip 71, save installation cost.
According to some embodiments of the present invention, can be provided with the defrost heater (not shown) that is used for heating fumigators 4 in the casing 1.The defrost heater can improve the defrost speed of evaporimeter 4, improves defrost efficient.
According to an example of the present invention, can be provided with the spout hole (not shown) on drip tray 6 sidewalls, spout hole is connected with the drainpipe 8 that leads to casing 1 outside.Drainpipe 8 can be with the unnecessary defrost water row in the drip tray 6 outside drip tray 6.
Below the simple process of describing according to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the invention of preserving moisture.
Phase I, kind of refrigeration cycle starts, evaporimeter 4 coolings, and blower fan 5 energisings start heater strip 71 no powers.The cold air of evaporator room 13 enters refrigerating chamber 11 by wind inlet channel 2, and refrigerating chamber 11 temperature reduce; The higher air of water content then enters evaporator room 13 by return airway 3 in the refrigerating chamber 11, cooling frosting through evaporimeter 4 time, and frosting is on evaporimeter 4.Evaporimeter 4 in the evaporator room 13 continues cooling, reduces to design temperature up to refrigerating chamber 11.
Second stage, kind of refrigeration cycle stops, the circulation beginning of preserving moisture.Evaporimeter 4 in the evaporator room 13 is no longer lowered the temperature, blower fan 5 energisings, heater strip 71 energisings, near the evaporimeter 4 frosting is dissolved, and defrost water enters in the drip tray 6, when the water yield arrives the spilling water line, water overflows from the spillway hole (not shown), and outside drainpipe 8 is discharged to evaporator room 13.
In this process, heater strip 71 continues heating, and with the water evaporates in the drip tray 6, blower fan 5 air that humidity is higher blows in the refrigerating chamber 11 by wind inlet channel 2, thereby has improved the humidity of refrigerating chamber 11.
Second stage continued after 20-30 minute, and the circulation of preserving moisture can stop, heater strip 71 outages, and blower fan 5 outages are higher than design temperature up to temperature of refrigerating chamber, and kind of refrigeration cycle is restarted by system, i.e. the above-mentioned phase I.
