The structure of the air duct assembly is described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 1 to 8, the duct assembly includes a duct front cover 100, a duct rear cover 200, a fan assembly 400, and a sterilization module. The air duct front cover 100 and the air duct rear cover 200 are fixed together in a front-back manner relative to each other, an air cavity 300 is formed between the air duct front cover 100 and the air duct rear cover 200, the air duct rear cover 200 is provided with a refrigerating air supply opening 210 communicated with the air cavity 300, and the air duct front cover 100 is provided with at least one freezing air supply opening 110 communicated with the air cavity 300. The fan assembly 400 is installed in the air chamber 300 to supply cool air to the refrigerating air supply port 210 and the freezing air supply ports 110 at the same time. The sterilizing module is mounted on the duct front cover 100 for generating sterilizing substances. The refrigerating air supply opening 210 and one of the freezing air supply openings 110 (not defined as a sterilizing freezing air supply opening) have a same air supply path in the air cavity 300, and at least one part of the sterilizing module is positioned on the same air supply path. So, at the in-process of fan subassembly 400 transport air conditioning, air conditioning can carry the sterilizing substance that the module of disinfecting released and enter into walk-in and freezer respectively through above-mentioned cold-stored supply-air outlet 210 and the freezing supply-air outlet 110 that disinfects simultaneously, has realized disinfecting in step to walk-in and freezer, and the bactericidal effect is better. Meanwhile, only one sterilization module is used, so that the sterilization cost is reduced.
In one embodiment, fan assembly 400 includes a shroud 410 and a centrifugal fan 420. Wherein the shield cover 410 is fixed to the duct rear cover 200, and the centrifugal fan 420 is installed inside the shield cover 410.

The centrifugal fan 420 may continuously supply cold air into the refrigerating and freezing compartments through the outlet 411 during operation. In particular, since the sterilizing air outlet 411 is disposed toward the refrigerating air outlet 210 and the sterilizing freezing air outlet 110, the cool air blown out from the sterilizing air outlet 411 is delivered to the refrigerating air outlet 210 and the sterilizing freezing air outlet 110 through the same air delivery path, and in this process, the cool air passes through the sterilizing module located on the air delivery path to carry the sterilizing material discharged from the sterilizing module. Specifically, the number of the air outlets 411 may be three, and the three air outlets 411 are uniformly distributed on the outer circumferential wall of the shield case 410, so that the centrifugal fan 420 can blow the cool air into the air chamber 300 more efficiently.
In one embodiment, the sterilization module may include a sterilizing substance generator 510. The front side of the duct front cover 100 is concavely formed with a first mounting groove 120 to the rear, and the sterilizing material generator 510 is fittingly mounted in the first mounting groove 120.

Specifically, the sterilizing substance generator 510 may be an ozone generator, a plasma generator, or the like.
In one embodiment, the upper and lower walls of the first installation groove 120 are provided with the catching blocks 122, and the catching blocks 122 are used to catch and fix the sterilizing material generator 510 in the first installation groove 120. Specifically, the blocking blocks 122 may be wedge-shaped blocks, and in the installation process of the sterilizing material generator 510, the two blocking blocks 122 are pressed by the housing of the sterilizing material generator 510 and respectively shrink upward and downward until the sterilizing material generator 510 is installed in place, the two blocking blocks 122 are ejected toward the middle of the first installation groove 120, and the rear surface (i.e., the surface facing the rear side of the air duct front cover 100) abuts against the front surface (i.e., the surface facing the front side of the air duct front cover 100) of the housing of the sterilizing material generator 510, so as to prevent the sterilizing material generator 510 from shaking forward and backward.
Further, the sterilization module may further include a controller 520, the front side of the air duct front cover 100 may be recessed rearward to form a second mounting groove 130, and the controller 520 is adapted to be mounted in the second mounting groove 130. The controller 520 is electrically connected to the sterilizing substance generator 510 for controlling the operation of the sterilizing substance generator 510 to generate the sterilizing substance. The user can be according to self demand, whether flexible control ozone generator releases ozone through controller 520 to reduce the waste of ozone. Generally, in order to reduce the wiring distance and the wiring failure probability, the second mounting groove 130 is preferably disposed adjacent to the first mounting groove 120. Of course, the position of the second mounting groove 130 may also be selected according to the overall structural layout of the air duct assembly, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
Since the second installation groove 130 is provided to block the flow of the cool air, the amount of cool air supplied into the freezing chamber by the fan assembly 400 is reduced. In particular, in the case where the second mounting groove 130 is disposed adjacent to the first mounting groove 120, the flow of air through the sterilizing material generator 510 is also blocked to some extent, thereby reducing the amount of sterilizing material supplied into the refrigerating and freezing chambers. Therefore, to alleviate this problem, the air duct rear cover 200 may be recessed rearward at a position corresponding to the second mounting groove 130 to form an avoiding groove 220, one end of the avoiding groove 220 extends to the fan assembly 400, and a groove wall at the other end is formed with a slope 221 inclined outward, so that the cool air can smoothly pass through.
In one embodiment, the front side of the duct front cover 100 may be provided with a cover plate 140, and the cover plate 140 covers the first and second mounting grooves 120 and 130 to cover the sterilizing material generator 510 and the controller 520, thereby preventing the sterilizing material generator 510 and the controller 520 from being directly exposed to the freezing chamber and preventing the sterilizing material generator 510 and the controller 520 from being damaged by moisture.
In a specific embodiment, the freezing air supply outlet 110 may be provided in a plurality, and the air output of the refrigerating air supply outlet 210 carrying the sterilizing substance and the air output of the sterilizing freezing air supply outlet 110 carrying the sterilizing substance account for 25% -30% and 30% -35% of the total air output of the fan assembly 400, respectively. Specifically, the air output of the refrigerating air supply opening 210 carrying the sterilizing substance and the air output of the sterilizing freezing air supply opening 110 carrying the sterilizing substance account for 26.01% and 31.59% of the total air output of the fan assembly 400, that is, the ratio of the sterilizing ratio of the refrigerating chamber to the sterilizing ratio of the freezing chamber is 45%: and 55 percent. Of course, the specific sterilization ratio can be designed according to the space area of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber, and is not limited herein.
Alternatively, a sterilizing freezing air-blowing opening 110 having the same air-blowing path as the refrigerating air-blowing opening 210 is provided at the upper left or right portion of the duct front cover 100. Thus, the sterilizing material can sink to the bottom along with the cold air from the top of the freezing chamber, and the freezing chamber is sterilized more fully.

The fan assembly 400 is installed in the air chamber 300, and cool air can be simultaneously supplied to the refrigerating outlet 210 and the freezing outlets 110 by the fan assembly 400. Since the refrigerating air supply outlet 210 and one of the freezing air supply outlets 110 have the same air supply path in the air chamber 300, at least a portion of the sterilization module is located on the same air supply path. Therefore, in the process of conveying cold air by the fan assembly 400, the cold air can carry the sterilizing substances released by the sterilizing module to enter the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber simultaneously, so that synchronous sterilization of the refrigerating chamber and the freezing chamber is realized, and the sterilizing effect is better. Meanwhile, only one sterilization module is used, so that the sterilization cost is reduced.
Further, an avoiding groove 220 is formed at a position of the air duct rear cover 200 corresponding to the second mounting groove 130 in a backward recessed manner, one end of the avoiding groove 220 extends to the fan assembly 400, and a slope 221 inclined outward is formed on a groove wall of the other end. So design, can avoid second mounting groove 130 to cause the hindrance to the flow of air conditioning, make the air conditioning that carries the bactericidal substance smoothly get into the freezer, improved the refrigeration effect and the bactericidal effect of freezer.
