The above and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of specific embodiments thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Drawings
Some specific embodiments of the invention will be described in detail hereinafter, by way of illustration and not limitation, with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same reference numbers in the drawings identify the same or similar elements or components. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale. In the drawings:
fig. 1 is a schematic side view of an air-cooled refrigerator having an ice making function according to an embodiment of the present invention;
fig. 2 is a schematic front view of an air-cooled refrigerator having an ice making function according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Detailed Description
Fig. 1 illustrates a schematic side view of an air-cooled refrigerator having an ice making function according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the air-cooled refrigerator 1 includes a cabinet 10. A storage compartment for storing food and the like is formed in the case 10. The interior of the storage compartment is partitioned into a refrigerating compartment 20, a freezing compartment 30, and a refrigerating compartment door 40 for opening or closing the refrigerating compartment 20 according to a preservation temperature and a use.
As is well known to those skilled in the art, the air-cooled refrigerator 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention may employ a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system to perform refrigeration, as in the air-cooled refrigerator 1 of the related art. The refrigeration cycle includes a compressor condenser, an evaporator 50, and the like. The air cooled by the evaporator 50 is supplied to each of the storage compartments to maintain the temperature within the respective storage compartment within a corresponding set temperature range.
Fig. 2 illustrates a schematic front view of an air-cooled refrigerator having an ice making function according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the refrigerating door body further includes an ice making compartment 60 provided thereon. The air-cooled refrigerator 1 further includes a freezing air blowing duct 31, an ice-making air blowing duct 61, and an ice-making air blower 62. The freezing air duct 31 is used to convey air cooled by the evaporator 50 into the freezing chamber 30. The ice making air duct 61 has one end communicating with the freezing chamber 30 and the other end communicating with the ice making chamber 60. The ice-making blower 62 blows cool air of the freezing chamber 30 to the ice-making blower duct 61. The ice-making blower 62 is disposed in the freezing compartment 30 or the freezing air-blowing duct 31, and is close to the ice-making air-blowing duct 61, and the air-blowing path of the ice-making blower 62 does not pass through the evaporator 50.
Aiming at the scheme that the ice making blower is sucked and sent to the ice making chamber through the evaporator, the inventor of the application finds that the corresponding part of the evaporator is seriously frosted after long-time operation, and the evaporator is sucked, so that the air path is long, the resistance is large and the air volume is small. The inventor of the present application has broken the way through the technical implications that the ice making blower 62 sucks air directly from the freezing chamber 30, does not suck air directly through the evaporator 50, and does not blow air through the evaporator 50, and delivers cool air in the freezing chamber 30 to the ice making chamber 60. Thus, the resistance of air suction directly from the freezing chamber 30 is small, and the air volume is large, and more importantly, the frosting condition of the evaporator 50 can be greatly improved.
As shown in fig. 1, the freezing chamber 30 has a partition 33, and a receiving chamber 34 for receiving the evaporator 50 is formed between the partition 33 and the rear wall of the cabinet 10. Wherein the receiving chamber 34 is provided to communicate with the freezing chamber 30. The rear wall 332 of the partition 33 is provided with a freezing air supply duct 31. The freezing air supply duct 31 has a plurality of air outlets 321 communicating with the freezing chamber 30, and the cool air circulating along the freezing air supply duct 31 enters the freezing chamber 30 through the plurality of air outlets 321. The partition 33 has a vent 331. The vent 331 communicates the freezing chamber 30 with the receiving chamber 34.
In one embodiment, one end of the ice making blowing duct 61 communicates with the ventilation opening 331. Among them, the ice-making blower 62 is provided at the ventilation opening 331 and is configured to suck cool air from the freezing compartment 30 and blow it into the ice-making blower duct 61. In another embodiment, the ice-making blower 62 is disposed within the freezing compartment 30 and is configured to draw cool air from the freezing compartment 30 and blow it into the ice-making blower duct 61. Here, the ice-making blower 62 may be provided at any suitable position of the freezer compartment 30 as long as the blowing direction of the ice-making blower 62 is directed to the ice-making blowing duct. In the above two embodiments, the ice making blower 62 directly sucks air from the freezer compartment 30 and sends the air into the ice making blower duct 61, and the air does not directly pass through the evaporator 50 when sucking air and does not pass through the evaporator 50 when blowing air, so that the frosting of the evaporator 50 can be relieved.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the ice-making air supply duct 61 is led from the front end of the side wall of the cabinet 10 to the duct inlet of the refrigerating compartment door 40, and the duct inlet is sealed to prevent air leakage. Therefore, air can be blown to the ice making chamber 60 when the refrigerating chamber door body 40 is closed. The air-cooled refrigerator 1 further includes an ice-making return air duct 63, a freezing return air duct 32, and a freezing blower. The refrigerated return air duct 32 communicates with the freezer compartment 30 for delivering return air from the freezer compartment 30 to the evaporator 50. One end of the ice-making return air duct is communicated with the ice-making chamber 60, and the other end of the ice-making return air duct is communicated with the freezing chamber 30, and is used for conveying return air of the ice-making chamber 60 to the freezing chamber 30 and then returning the return air to the evaporator 50 together through the freezing return air duct 32. The freezing blower is provided in the freezing chamber 30 or the receiving chamber 34 for blowing air cooled by the evaporator 50 into the freezing chamber 30.
When the freezing chamber 30 is cooled to a certain temperature, the evaporator 50 is used for cooling and the freezing blower works, the ice making blower 62 is operated, the ice making blower 62 sucks cold air from the freezing chamber 30, the cold air is sent to the ice making chamber 60 through the ice making blower air duct 61, and the cold air is returned to the freezing chamber 30 through the ice making return air duct 63, so that the air path circulation is completed.
Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
