In this embodiment, the multilayer structure inside the housing box 280 is, from top to bottom: fan 250, spring plate 240, gasket 260, anode plate 220, gasket 260, diffusion layer 270, proton exchange membrane 210, diffusion layer 270, gasket 260, cathode plate 230, gasket 260, and spring plate 240. When the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is installed, the assembled electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is inserted into the opening of the cylinder 111 as a whole, and when the flange of the housing box 280 abuts against the edge of the opening, the plurality of claws 113 just catch the protrusions 284 on the side wall of the housing box 280, so that the housing box 280 is fixed, and the installation of the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is completed. If the user does not require the oxygen scavenging function of the storage drawer 100, the entire containment box 280 may be removed.
The storage drawer 100 of the present embodiment includes: electrolytic oxygen scavenging assembly 200. The electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is used to consume oxygen from the air in the storage space to obtain a nitrogen-rich and oxygen-lean atmosphere in the space that is conducive to preserving food. The gas atmosphere reduces the oxygen breathing intensity of food (especially fruits and vegetables) by reducing the content of oxygen in the storage space, ensures the basic respiration effect, prevents the food from anaerobic respiration, and achieves the purpose of keeping the food fresh for a long time.
The electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is placed on the upper portion of the drawer, and batteries supplying power to the anode plate 220 and the cathode plate 230 can be arranged in the foaming layer of the box body, so that the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is conveniently powered from the box body, and meanwhile, a user can conveniently install and detach the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly. Because the drawer sets up in cold-stored room bottom, electrolysis deoxidization subassembly 200 sets up and can fully contact with the indoor air in cold-stored room at the drawer top, and after near the aqueous vapor of electrolysis deoxidization subassembly was consumed, the air cycle of air-cooled refrigerator was very fast, and the aqueous vapor of other positions can be replenished fast, and it goes on fast to maintain the reaction. Thus, positioning the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 on top of the drawer can improve the operating efficiency of the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200.
When the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 is in operation, oxygen in the storage space is consumed, which may result in a gradual decrease in the pressure of the interior of the storage space. Thus, the storage drawer 100 with the electrolytic oxygen removal assembly 200 installed therein is more likely to have a pressure differential between the interior of the storage space and the outside, which can make it difficult for a user to open the drawer. The cold-stored refrigeration device of this embodiment detects the user at touch sensing device 500 and will open the storing and take out, and during 100, electric air valve 300 opens the through-hole on the drawer for the inside and outside intercommunication of storing space eliminates the inside and outside pressure differential of drawer, has solved the problem that the drawer that causes is difficult to open because the installation electrolysis deoxidization subassembly. The storage drawer 100 is convenient for a user to open more laborsavingly, and the user experience is improved.
