Detailed Description
FIG. 1 is a schematic partial block diagram of a refrigeration and freezer according to one embodiment of the invention; fig. 2 is a schematic partial block diagram of another view of the structure shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a refrigerating and freezing apparatus, which may include a cabinet 20, a main door, an air conditioning membrane assembly 30, an air extracting device 40, and a refrigerating system.
The case 20 may include a liner 21, a housing 27 disposed outside the liner 21, and a thermal insulation layer between the liner 21 and the housing 27. The inner container 21 defines a storage space 211 therein. The main door body may be composed of two opposite-opening door bodies, which are rotatably installed in the case 20, and configured to open or close the storage space 211 defined by the case 20. The main door body can also be a door body. Further, a storage container is disposed in the storage space 211, and an air-conditioned fresh-keeping space is disposed in the storage container. The air-conditioned fresh-keeping space can be a closed space or an approximately closed space. Preferably, the storage container is a drawer assembly. The storage container may include a drawer cylinder 22 and a drawer body 23. The drawer cylinder 22 may have a forward opening, and be disposed in the storage space 211, and in particular, may be disposed at a lower portion of the storage space 211. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the drawer cylinder 22 may also be disposed in a middle or upper portion of the storage space 211. The drawer body 23 is slidably disposed within the drawer cylinder 22 to operatively withdraw from a forward opening of the drawer cylinder 22 and insert the drawer cylinder 22 inwardly. The drawer body 23 may have a drawer end cap that may be matched with the opening of the drawer cylinder 22 to perform the sealing of the controlled atmosphere fresh-keeping space. In some alternative embodiments, the storage container may include a barrel and a small door configured to open or close the barrel.
The refrigeration system is configured to provide refrigeration to the storage space 21. Specifically, in some embodiments, the refrigeration system may be a refrigeration cycle system composed of a compressor, a condenser, a throttle device, an evaporator, and the like. The evaporator is configured to provide cooling directly or indirectly into the storage space 211. For example, when the refrigerating and freezing apparatus is a home compression type direct-cooling refrigerator, the evaporator may be provided outside or inside the rear wall surface of the liner 21. When the refrigerating and freezing device is a household compressed air-cooled refrigerator, the interior of the box body 20 is also provided with an evaporator chamber, the evaporator chamber is communicated with the storage space 211 through an air path system, an evaporator is arranged in the evaporator chamber, and a fan is arranged at an outlet of the evaporator chamber so as to circularly refrigerate the storage space 211. In other embodiments, the refrigeration system may also be a semiconductor refrigeration device.
The air conditioning membrane assembly 30 is provided with at least one air conditioning membrane 31 and an oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity, and the surrounding space is communicated with the air conditioning fresh-keeping space. The modified atmosphere membrane assembly 30 may be configured such that oxygen in the spatial gas stream surrounding the modified atmosphere membrane assembly 30 permeates through the modified atmosphere membrane 31 more into the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber than nitrogen in the spatial gas stream surrounding the modified atmosphere membrane assembly 30. Specifically, the inner side surface of each of the modified atmosphere membranes 31 faces the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber so that oxygen in the air in the outer space of the modified atmosphere membrane module 30 passes through at least one modified atmosphere membrane 31 more than nitrogen therein into the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber when the pressure in the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber is smaller than the pressure in the surrounding space of the modified atmosphere membrane module 30.
The gas extraction device 40 may have a gas extraction pump 41 and be configured to extract the gas penetrating into the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber out of the storage container.
In this embodiment, the air extracting device 40 may be used to extract air outwards, so that the pressure of the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity may be smaller than the pressure of the surrounding space of the air-conditioning membrane assembly 30, and further, the oxygen in the surrounding space of the air-conditioning membrane assembly 30 may enter the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity. Because the air-conditioning fresh-keeping space is communicated with the space around the air-conditioning membrane assembly 30, air in the air-conditioning fresh-keeping space can enter the space around the air-conditioning membrane assembly 30, so that oxygen in the air-conditioning fresh-keeping space can enter the oxygen-enriched gas collection cavity, and a nitrogen-enriched and oxygen-depleted gas atmosphere beneficial to food fresh keeping is obtained in the air-conditioning fresh-keeping space.
The refrigerating and freezing device can form a nitrogen-enriched and oxygen-depleted gas atmosphere in the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping space to be beneficial to food fresh-keeping, and the gas atmosphere reduces the strength of aerobic respiration of fruits and vegetables by reducing the content of oxygen in the fruit and vegetable storage space, ensures the basic respiration function and prevents the fruits and vegetables from carrying out anaerobic respiration, thereby achieving the aim of long-term fresh-keeping of the fruits and vegetables. In addition, the atmosphere also has a large amount of gases such as nitrogen, so that the cooling efficiency of the articles in the air-conditioned fresh-keeping space is not reduced, and fruits and vegetables and the like can be effectively stored. And the requirements on rigidity and strength of the storage container and the like are low, and the implementation requirements are low, so that the cost is low. The refrigeration and freezing device well solves the technical problems which are required to be solved by the technicians in the field of air-conditioned preservation all the time but are not successfully solved all the time. The refrigerating and freezing device of the invention has small volume and low noise, and is especially suitable for families and individuals.
Particularly, in this embodiment, the storage temperature of the air-conditioned fresh-keeping space in the refrigerating and freezing device is generally between-24 ℃ and 10 ℃, and the air permeated into the oxygen-enriched air collecting cavity can have a certain amount of cold, and if the air is directly discharged to the external high-temperature environment, the condensation phenomenon can be generated, and the loss of cold can also be caused. Therefore, the air extracting device 40 in this embodiment of the present invention is further configured such that the air flowing out of the oxygen-enriched air collecting cavity enters the air extracting pump 41 after exchanging heat with the pump shell of the air extracting pump 41; or the gas flowing out of the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity firstly enters the air pump 41 and flows out of the air pump 41, and then exchanges heat with the pump shell of the air pump 41, so that the cold energy in the gas flowing out of the oxygen-enriched gas collecting cavity is fully utilized. The air pumping device 40 pumps air to cool the air pump 41, so that the vacuum pressure and air quantity of the air pump can be prevented from being reduced due to the fact that the air pump 41 heats too high, the working efficiency and the fresh-keeping performance of the air-conditioning membrane assembly are directly affected, and the motor of the air pump 41 can be prevented from being burnt out to cause quality accidents when serious conditions exist. The air extracted by the air extracting device 40 can be used for cooling the air extracting pump 41, so that the working temperature of the air extracting pump 41 can be obviously reduced, and the stability of the air extracting pump 41 is improved.
For example, as shown in fig. 3, the air extraction device 40 may further include a sealing box 42, and the air extraction pump 41 may be disposed in the sealing box 42. The pumping port of the pumping pump 41 is connected to the exhaust port of the oxygen-enriched gas collection chamber via a pumping line 51. The exhaust port 411 of the air pump 41 is in communication with the inner space of the seal box 42, specifically, the exhaust port 411 of the air pump 41 may be exposed in the seal box 42 without connecting a pipe. The seal case 42 is provided with a gas discharge line 52 communicating with the inner space of the seal case 42. In alternative embodiments of the invention, the suction line 51 may be wrapped around the casing of the suction pump 41. In other alternative embodiments of the invention, the exhaust port of the pump 41 may be provided with an exhaust pipe that blows toward its pump housing.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the air evacuation device 40 is preferably disposed in the insulation between the liner 21 and the housing 27. The air pump 41 is arranged in the heat insulation layer, so that noise generated when the air pump 41 operates can be remarkably reduced, and better mute experience is provided for a user. Further, the housing 27 may include a back plate, and the air extractor 40 is disposed between the back wall of the liner 21 and the back plate of the housing 27 and behind the storage container, so as to shorten the length of the air extraction pipeline 51 between the air pump 41 and the air conditioning membrane assembly 30, and reduce the loss of the vacuum degree of the air conditioning.
The seal case 42 can also reduce noise generated when the suction pump 41 is operated. To further reduce noise, a plurality of damper blocks may be provided between the suction pump 41 and the seal case 42. A plurality of shock-absorbing blocks may also be provided on the outside of the seal box 42 to fit within the insulation.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the drawer cylinder 22 may be provided with a plurality of micropores, and the storage space 211 and the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping space are communicated through the plurality of micropores. The micro-holes may also be referred to as air pressure balance holes, each of which may be of the order of millimeters, for example, each having a diameter of 0.1mm to 3mm, preferably 1mm, 1.5mm, etc. The pressure in the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping space can be prevented from being too low by arranging the plurality of micropores, the nitrogen in the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping space can not flow to the large storage space 211 by arranging the plurality of micropores, and even if the nitrogen flows, the nitrogen is very small or even negligible, so that the preservation of foods in the modified atmosphere fresh-keeping space can not be influenced. In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the drawer cylinder 22 may not have micropores, and even if a large amount of nitrogen or other gas exists in the air-conditioned fresh-keeping space, the user does not need to use much effort when pulling the drawer body 23, and the air-conditioned fresh-keeping space is greatly labor-saving compared with the existing vacuum storage chamber.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the liner 21 may be a refrigeration liner, and the storage space 211 is a refrigeration space, and the storage temperature is typically between 2 ℃ and 10 ℃, preferably between 3 ℃ and 8 ℃. Further, the case 20 may further define a freezing space 25 and a temperature changing space 26, i.e., the case 20 may further include a freezing chamber liner. The refrigerating space 25 is disposed below the storage space 211, and the temperature changing space 26 is disposed between the refrigerating space and the refrigerating space. The temperature in the refrigerated space is generally in the range of-14 to-22 ℃. The temperature changing space can be adjusted according to the requirement so as to store proper food. In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the storage space 211 may also be a freezing space or a temperature-changing space, that is, the temperature range of the storage space 211 may be controlled between-14 ℃ and-22 ℃ or adjusted according to the requirement. Further, the relative positions of the refrigerating space, the freezing space and the temperature changing space can be adjusted according to actual requirements.

The handle extends horizontally and is slidably mounted to the drawer end cap in a vertical direction. Also, the handle may be in an initial position when the drawer body 23 is in a closed state. And the handle is configured such that, in its initial position, both ends thereof are respectively brought into contact with and abut against the two pivoting catches to prevent each pivoting catch from rotating in the other direction opposite to the respective first direction, so that the pivoting catches and the buckling parts are kept in the engaged state, thereby locking the drawer body 23 to the drawer cylinder 22. Further, when the handle is moved up or down to the unlock position, i.e., from the initial position to the unlock position, each of the pivoting latches may be allowed to rotate in the other direction opposite to the respective first direction to allow the pivoting latches to rotate out of the corresponding snap-fit portions when the drawer body 23 is pulled outward, thereby allowing the drawer body 23 to be opened. The handle positioning means is configured to hold the handle in a respective predetermined position, mainly an initial position and an unlock position, after the handle is moved to that position. When opening the drawer body, the user first moves the handle up or down to the unlock position, the handle positioning means holds the handle in that position, and the user can pull the drawer body 23 outward. When closing the drawer body, the user first closes the drawer body 23 and then returns the handle down or up to the original position, and the handle positioning means holds the handle in this position, thereby holding the drawer body 23 and the drawer cylinder 22 in a locked state.
In order to further stabilize the movement of the handle, two ends of the handle are also respectively provided with a guide rod and a sliding block, and the guide rods extend along the vertical direction. The drawer body 23 further comprises two sets of slides, each set of slides having at least three runners extending in a vertical direction, such that one runner is provided on each side of the guide bar, the slide block moves on the remaining runners, or one runner is provided on each side of the slide block, and the guide bar moves on the remaining runners. For example, each set of slides may include four slides, one on each of the front and rear sides of the guide bar, and one on each of the lateral sides (i.e., left and right sides) of the slider.
