the door body 2 may be used to make the case 100 form a relatively closed space so as to facilitate the oxygen reduction work inside the case 100, and prevent the excessive inflow of air from the outside, and have poor oxygen reduction effect.

The gap at the junction of the door 2 and the cabinet 100 when the door 2 closes the refrigerating compartment 1 is defined as a first flow gap.

Specifically, the compressor compresses refrigerant gas at high temperature and high pressure and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process, and the expansion valve expands the liquid phase refrigerant in the high temperature and high pressure state in the condenser into low pressure liquid phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the controller 6 is configured to simultaneously turn on at least two vacuum pump assemblies 8 to withdraw oxygen from the refrigerator compartment 1 as soon as possible upon receipt of a strong oxygen-reducing signal regarding the refrigerator compartment 1.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the second air-conditioning membrane module 102 may be connected to a plurality of vacuum pump modules 8, so that two or more vacuum pump modules 8 may work, thereby accelerating the oxygen descent rate in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and improving the oxygen descent efficiency.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the controller 6 is configured to simultaneously turn on at least two vacuum pump assemblies 8 to withdraw oxygen from the fresh food drawer 11 as soon as possible, improving the oxygen reduction efficiency, when a strong oxygen reduction signal is received with respect to the fresh food drawer 11.

Referring to fig. 7-8, two sets of vacuum pump assemblies 8 are shown, each mounted on a respective side of the compressor housing 13 along the length direction, with the left side vacuum pump assembly 8 being defined as a first vacuum pump assembly 8 and the right side vacuum pump assembly 8 being defined as a second vacuum pump assembly 8, for example, in the orientation of fig. 7.

The first vacuum pump assembly 8 is connected with the first air-conditioning membrane assembly 101 and the second air-conditioning membrane assembly 102, and the second vacuum pump assembly 8 is connected with the first air-conditioning membrane assembly 101.

That is, for the refrigerator compartment 1, the oxygen reduction may be performed by the operation of the first and second vacuum pump assemblies 8 and 8, and in some embodiments, the first and second vacuum pump assemblies 8 and 8 may be controlled to operate independently or in combination according to the detected oxygen concentration within the refrigerator compartment 1.

It will be appreciated that the first vacuum pump assembly 8 and the second vacuum pump assembly 8 may be configured to operate at the same or different frequencies to achieve oxygen reduction at different rates and at different energy consumption.

For the fresh food drawer 11, oxygen reduction can be performed by the first vacuum pump assembly 8.

In some implementations of this embodiment, when the oxygen reduction action is performed on the fresh-keeping drawer 11, oxygen may be reduced in the refrigerating chamber 1 first, so that the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is located in a space with relatively low oxygen content, after the vacuum pump assembly 8 works, the air outside the refrigerating chamber 1 enters the refrigerating chamber 1, the air in the refrigerating chamber 1 is pumped away by the vacuum pump assembly 8 through the first air-conditioning membrane assembly 101, so that the oxygen content in the refrigerating chamber 1 is reduced,

Then, the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is subjected to oxygen reduction, air in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is pumped away through the second air regulating membrane assembly 102, an air pressure difference is formed between the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and the refrigerating chamber 1, air in the refrigerating chamber 1 can enter the fresh-keeping drawer 11 through a gap between the drawer and the drawer shell 112, and original air in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is replaced, so that the oxygen content in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is lower.

Through the arrangement, compared with the technical scheme that the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is independently arranged in the refrigerating chamber 1 capable of performing the oxygen reduction action, the technical scheme that the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is arranged in the refrigerating chamber 1 is lower in oxygen content of the gas which can be replaced by the fresh-keeping drawer 11, and the fresh-keeping drawer 11 can be enabled to reach the set oxygen content more quickly.

In the above process, when a pressure difference occurs between the inside and the outside of the refrigerating chamber 1, air outside the refrigerating chamber 1 enters the refrigerating chamber 1 through the first flow gap or the first through hole of the refrigerating chamber 1 under the action of the pressure difference, so as to realize the replacement of air in the refrigerating chamber 1. The greater the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the refrigerating chamber 1, the faster the gas exchange rate between the inside and outside of the refrigerating chamber 1 is within a certain pressure range.

When the pressure difference occurs inside and outside the fresh-keeping drawer 11, the air outside the fresh-keeping drawer 11 or in the refrigerating chamber 1 enters the fresh-keeping drawer 11 through the second flow gap, the second through hole or the third through hole of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 under the action of the pressure difference, so that the replacement of the air in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is realized. The larger the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the fresh food drawer 11 is, the faster the gas exchange rate between the inside and the outside of the fresh food drawer 11 is within a certain pressure range.

In some embodiments of the present application, the oxygen reduction action of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and the oxygen reduction action of the refrigerating chamber 1 are not related in sequence, and may be performed simultaneously, and when the oxygen reduction action is performed, the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and the refrigerating chamber 1 perform airflow, and the refrigerating chamber 1 performs airflow inside and outside, so as to accelerate the oxygen reduction efficiency of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and the refrigerating chamber 1, and improve the gas replacement process of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and the refrigerating chamber 1. To achieve that the oxygen content of the fresh food drawer 11 is lower than the oxygen content of the fresh food compartment 1, at least for a period of time.

In some embodiments of the present application, the operation of the fresh air oxygen reduction mode may be manually turned on or off, or may be turned on according to a set program.

The operation of the oxygen-reducing fresh air mode can be controlled by setting a preset interval time, and the operation of the oxygen-reducing fresh air mode can be controlled by detecting parameters such as the oxygen content in a space, the content of peculiar smell molecules and the like.

In some embodiments, the controller 6 is configured to operate the vacuum pump assembly 8 once every time interval, and may be set to operate once every 6 hours, for example.

In some embodiments, the boost mode may be manually turned on when more fruits and vegetables are stored in the fresh food compartment 1 or fresh food drawer 11, and the gas replacement run time and interval time are increased compared to before.

In some embodiments, the operating state of the first vacuum pump assembly 8 may be controlled based on the detected oxygen concentration of the fresh drawer 11.

And set up governing valve 5 on the pipeline that first vacuum pump assembly 8 connects, can adjust the intercommunication condition and the aperture condition of first vacuum pump assembly 8 and first air-conditioning membrane assembly 101, second air-conditioning membrane assembly 102 to in the operational capacity of vacuum pump assembly 8, the oxygen scope falls in the correspondence more fast.

It can be appreciated that although the second air-conditioning membrane module 102 is not given in the present application as an example of connecting two or more vacuum pump modules 8, the scheme is true, and the working states of the connected vacuum pump modules 8 and the corresponding regulating valves 5 can be adjusted according to the oxygen content in the fresh-keeping drawer 11, so as to reach the required oxygen content more quickly.

It should be noted that, the technical scheme of this application can be through reasonable vacuum pump assembly 8 and the quantity setting and the connection setting of air-conditioning membrane subassembly, realizes alone carrying out the oxygen reduction to cold-storage chamber 1 or fresh-keeping drawer 11 to and simultaneously carries out the oxygen reduction to cold-storage chamber 1 and fresh-keeping drawer 11. It will be appreciated that the sequence of oxygen reduction with respect to the fresh food compartment 1 and fresh food drawer 11 may be determined based on internal sensed data from both compartments or may be run according to existing programming.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the controller 6 is configured to, after the refrigerator is powered on, receive the first signal and then turn on the vacuum pump assembly 8 or directly turn on the vacuum pump assembly 8, the vacuum pump assembly 8 pumps the refrigerating chamber 1 and discharges the pumped gas to the outside of the other compartments or the cabinet 100, so as to reduce the pressure in the refrigerating chamber 1, so that there is a pressure difference between the refrigerating chamber and the refrigerating chamber; air outside the box body 100 enters the refrigerating chamber 1 through the circulation gap to at least form an air flow circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the box body 100, so that partial air generated by food materials in the refrigerating chamber 1 is replaced;

wherein the oxygen content of the gas pumped by the vacuum pump assembly 8 is higher than the oxygen content of the gas in the refrigerating chamber 1 at least for a certain period of time, so that the oxygen content in the refrigerating chamber 1 is reduced, and the oxygen content in the refrigerating chamber is lower than the relative oxygen content of the gas outside the refrigerating chamber.

It is known that the oxygen content in the refrigerating compartment is reduced to 21% or less.

With the above arrangement, when the door body 2 closes the refrigerating chamber 1, the inside of the refrigerating chamber 1 is in a normal pressure closed state, and the vacuum pump assembly 8 is most effective in performing the oxygen reduction operation. Meanwhile, as the air-conditioning membrane component is arranged at the top of the refrigerating chamber 1, the air flowing out of the refrigerating chamber 1 passes through the air-conditioning membrane component, so that more oxygen enters the air collecting cavity through the air-conditioning membrane component compared with other molecules, and finally the oxygen content of the air pumped out by the vacuum pump component 8 is higher than the oxygen content of the air in the refrigerating chamber 1, the oxygen reduction action of the refrigerating chamber 1 is realized, and the food preservation quality of the refrigerating chamber 1 is improved.

Meanwhile, by utilizing the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the refrigerating chamber, an air flow circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the box body 100 is formed, and when the vacuum pump assembly 8 extracts air in the refrigerating chamber 1, the formed air flow circulation is utilized to perform a fresh air function in the refrigerating chamber 1 so as to take away the air which is generated in the storage process and is unfavorable for food preservation, such as carbon dioxide, and form air replacement.

Similarly, in some embodiments, the controller 6 is further configured to, when the vacuum pump assembly 8 is operated, allow air in the fresh food drawer 11 to pass through the second air regulating membrane assembly 102 and enter the second pipeline assembly 7, wherein the oxygen content of the air pumped from the fresh food drawer 11 by the vacuum pump assembly 8 is higher than the oxygen content of the remaining air in the fresh food drawer 11 for at least a certain period of time, so that the oxygen content in the fresh food drawer 11 is reduced to meet the preservation requirement of the food in the fresh food drawer 11.

In some embodiments, the operation of the vacuum pump assembly is also associated with the state of the refrigerated compartment.

Referring to fig. 11, the control logic for performing oxygen reduction in the embodiment of the present application will be described with reference to the refrigerating compartment 1.

Judging whether the refrigerating chamber 1 is in a closed state (step S1101);

in step S1101, if the refrigerating compartment 1 is in the closed state, step S1102 is performed to turn on the vacuum pump assembly 8;

In step S1101, if the refrigerator compartment 1 is not in the closed state, step S1103 is executed to give an alarm to remind the user to close the door.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, the controller 6 is configured to, after the refrigerator is powered on, receive a third signal to turn on the vacuum pump assembly 8 or directly turn on the vacuum pump assembly 8, the vacuum pump assembly 8 pumps the fresh food drawer 11 and discharges the pumped gas to the outside of the other compartments or the cabinet 100 to reduce the pressure in the fresh food drawer 11, such that a pressure difference exists between the fresh food drawer 11 and the refrigeration compartment 1; air in the refrigerating chamber 1 enters the fresh food drawer 11 through the second flowing gap to form at least an air flow circulation path of the fresh food drawer 11, the vacuum pump assembly 8, the outside of the case 100 and the refrigerating chamber 1, thereby replacing part of air in the fresh food drawer 11.

Wherein the oxygen content of the gas pumped out by the vacuum pump assembly 8 is higher than the oxygen content of the gas in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 at least for a certain period of time, so that the oxygen content in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is reduced, and the relative oxygen content in the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is lower than the relative oxygen content of the gas in the refrigerating chamber 1.

With the above arrangement, when the drawer body 111 is placed inside the drawer housing 112, the drawer body 111 and the drawer housing 112 are brought into a normal pressure closed state, and the oxygen reduction operation is most effective at this time. Meanwhile, a second air-conditioning membrane assembly 102 is arranged at the top of the fresh-keeping drawer 11, and the air flowing out of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 passes through the second air-conditioning membrane assembly 102, so that more oxygen passes through the air-conditioning membrane assembly and enters the air collecting cavity compared with other molecules, and finally the oxygen content of the air pumped by the vacuum pump is higher than the oxygen content of the air in the fresh-keeping drawer 11, thereby realizing the oxygen reduction action of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and improving the preservation quality of food materials of the fresh-keeping drawer 11.

Meanwhile, the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is utilized to form a gas circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the fresh-keeping drawer 11, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the box body 100 by utilizing the pressure difference between the indoor and the outdoor of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 and the pressure difference between the indoor and the outdoor of the refrigerating chamber 1, and when the vacuum pump assembly 8 extracts air in the fresh-keeping drawer 11, the fresh air ventilation function of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is realized by utilizing the formed air circulation, so that the gas which is harmful to the preservation of food such as carbon dioxide and the like generated in the storage process is taken away, and gas replacement is formed.

In some implementations of the present embodiment, a second door closing detecting assembly 92 is provided at the opening side of the drawer housing 112 for detecting whether the drawer housing 112 and the drawer body 111 form an atmospheric pressure closed space.

When the drawer body 111 moves to the bottom toward the inside of the drawer housing 112, it is determined that the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is in a closed state at this time, and the drawer body 111 and the drawer housing 112 form a normal-pressure relatively closed space.

It can be known that when the drawer shell 112 and the drawer body 111 form a normal pressure closed space, the opening and closing of the door body can be judged to perform the fresh air oxygen reduction function of the fresh-keeping drawer 11, and the fresh air oxygen reduction function of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 can also be directly performed.

In some embodiments, before the fresh air oxygen reduction function of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is performed, whether the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is in a closed state is first determined, and when the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is in the closed state, the fresh air oxygen reduction function is normally performed; when the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is not in a closed state, an alarm or an alarm can be given and a fresh air oxygen reduction function can be started.

In some implementations of the present example, the oxygen reduction operation may be performed on the refrigerator compartment 1 and the fresh food drawer 11 simultaneously or back and forth.

The controller 6 is configured such that, after the refrigerator is powered on, the vacuum pump assembly 8 pumps air out of the refrigerating chamber 1 and the fresh food drawer 11, and discharges the pumped air out of the other compartments or the box 100, so as to form a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the refrigerating chamber 1 and the inside and outside of the fresh food drawer 11;

air outside the refrigerator body 100 enters the refrigerating chamber 1 through the first flowing gap to form an air flow circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the refrigerator body 100, so that part of air in the refrigerating chamber 1 is replaced;

part of the air in the refrigerating chamber 1 is pumped out by the vacuum pump assembly 8 through the first air conditioning membrane assembly 101, and the other part of the air enters the fresh food drawer 11 through the second flow gap to form an air flow circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the fresh food drawer 11, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the box body 100, so that part of the air in the fresh food drawer 11 is replaced;

wherein the oxygen content of the gas pumped out by the vacuum pump assembly 8 is higher than the oxygen content of the gas in the fresh food drawer 11 at least for a certain period of time, and the oxygen content of the gas pumped out by the vacuum pump assembly 8 is higher than the oxygen content of the gas in the refrigerating chamber 1 at least for a certain period of time. So that the relative oxygen content of the gas inside the refrigerating compartment 1 is lower than the relative oxygen content of the gas outside the cabinet 100, at least for a period of time; the relative oxygen content of the air in the fresh food drawer 11 is lower than the relative oxygen content of the air in the fresh food compartment 1, at least for a period of time.

Through the arrangement, a first air flow circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the box body 100 and a second air flow circulation path outside the refrigerating chamber 1, the fresh-keeping drawer 11, the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the box body 100 are formed, so that fresh air oxygen reduction functions of the refrigerating chamber 1 and the fresh-keeping drawer 11 can be realized.

Meanwhile, the fresh air oxygen reduction of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 works under the action of the fresh air oxygen reduction of the refrigerating chamber 1, and the fresh air oxygen reduction process of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is accelerated. The air in the refrigerating chamber 1 enters the fresh food drawer 11 to promote the air change of the fresh food drawer 11 and accelerate the air flow circulation of the refrigerating chamber 1.

Referring to fig. 16, fresh air oxygen reduction control logic of fresh food drawer 11 is illustrated.

Powering on the refrigerator (step S1601);

whether the fresh drawer 11 is in a closed state (step S1602);

in step S1602, if the fresh food drawer 11 is in a closed state, step S1603 is executed, and the vacuum pump assembly 8 pumps air out of the fresh food drawer 11;

in step S1602, if the fresh drawer 11 is not in the closed state, step S1604 is performed, and the refrigerator alarms or the vacuum pump assembly 8 pumps air in a preset working state.

In the above steps, when the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is not in the closed state, the vacuum pump assembly 8 may perform air extraction according to the preset working state, so as to perform the preparation action of the fresh-keeping drawer 11, and perform the normal air extraction state after detecting that the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is closed.

In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigerator further comprises a deodorizing module, and the refrigerator is further provided with a deodorizing module for removing odor molecules in the air. The odor removal module can be provided as a photocatalyst, activated carbon, or the like.

In some embodiments, the odor detection device is used for detecting the odor concentration in the space, so as to serve as a basis for the odor removal module to work.

In some implementations of this embodiment, when the odor concentration detected by the odor detection device reaches the first set range condition, it is determined that the odor concentration in the case 100 is high at this time, and removal is required, and the odor removal module is turned on at this time. So as to avoid odor tainting caused by airflow flowing in the fresh air oxygen reduction process.

In some embodiments, when the odor concentration detected by the odor detection device reaches the end working condition, it is determined that the odor concentration in the case 100 is in the normal range at this time, and the odor purifying module is turned off.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the odor purifying module further includes a photocatalyst catalysis unit 363, where the photocatalyst catalysis unit 363 is disposed on a side of the built-in fan 34 near the outlet 33, and in this application, a DBD (dielectric barrier) discharge is used to couple the photocatalyst, so as to realize a low-temperature plasma discharge and a photocatalyst/metal oxide catalyst catalysis function, thereby realizing a rapid and efficient odor purifying effect.

In the technical scheme of the application, the main function of the photocatalyst catalysis unit 363 is odor removal, electrons and holes are generated by the high-voltage electro-field excitation photocatalyst, and the electrons migrate from a valence band to a conduction band and then are mixed with 0 ₂ The reaction takes place, the reaction formula is:

the valence band cavity reacts with H2O in the air, and the reaction formula is:

h ⁺ +H ₂ O→.OH

.OH has strong oxidizing property, and the air sucked into the box 100 by the built-in fan 34 oxidizes and decomposes the odor molecules in the air at the photocatalyst catalysis unit 363, thereby playing a role in strong and rapid odor removal.

Referring to fig. 29, the photocatalyst catalyzing unit 363 includes a substrate plate 3631, a photocatalyst layer 3634 wrapped on an outer surface of the substrate plate 3631, and first and second electrode plates 3632 and 3633 disposed opposite to each other and located at both sides of the substrate plate 3631, the first and second electrode plates 3632 and 3633 being electrically connected to a high voltage power source. The substrate plate 3631 is disposed on a side of the built-in fan 34 near the outlet 33, and a plurality of through holes are formed in the substrate plate 3631 along the direction of airflow direction, so that the passing rate of the airflow is improved, the surface area of the photocatalyst layer 3634 is increased, the odor removing efficiency is improved, and the air in the box 100 flows out from the outlet 33 of the built-in fan 34 under the action of the built-in fan 34, flows through the photocatalyst layer 3634 and flows back to the box 100 through the outlet 33.

The photocatalyst catalyzing unit 363 uses the high voltage electric field generated by the first electrode plate 3632 and the second electrode plate 3633 to excite the photocatalyst layer 3634 to generate strong oxidation molecules so as to decompose the odor molecules in the case 100.

In some embodiments, the substrate plate 3631 is configured as a porous ceramic with a photocatalyst coated or impregnated on the surface of the porous ceramic to achieve a low temperature plasma discharge co-ordinationThe catalyst function is same as that of photocatalyst/metal oxide catalyst. The photocatalyst may be TiO ₂ Cu and Mn oxide are doped.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 30, the first electrode plate 3632 and the second electrode plate 3633 are configured as plate-wire mesh electrodes, which can be effective for both occasional photocatalyst excitation and windage reduction. It should be noted that the two plate-wire electrodes may be interchanged.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 31, first electrode plate 3632 and second electrode plate 3633 may also be provided as plate-plate mesh counter electrodes.

In some embodiments, which are not shown, the first electrode plate 3632 and the second electrode plate 3633 may be provided as plate-line-shaped counter electrodes, and plate electrodes or line electrodes may be provided above and below the base plate 3631.

In some embodiments, which are not shown, the first electrode plate 3632 and the second electrode plate 3633 may be provided as plate-plate counter electrodes, and plate electrodes or wire electrodes may be provided above and below the base plate 3631.

The discharge parameters in this embodiment are: the two electrode voltages are 2 positive and negative high voltages of the same frequency and same amplitude and opposite phase of the cosine pulse, and the peak value range of the cosine positive high voltage is as follows: 1.5-2.8 kv, corresponding cosine negative high-voltage peak value range: -1.5 to-2.8 kv. The distance between the two electrodes corresponding to the above voltage was 20mm.

The electrode voltage may be a cosine pulse negative high voltage (cosine negative high voltage peak value range: 2.5 to-4.5 kv) or a cosine pulse positive high voltage (cosine positive high voltage peak value range: 2.5 to 4.5 kv), and the relative voltage of the counter electrode to the high voltage electrode is "0" in this case. The distance between the two electrodes corresponding to the above voltage was 20mm.

In some implementations of some embodiments, referring to fig. 8, the distance between the first electrode plate 3632 and the substrate plate 3631 is 0.1mm-5mm, and likewise, the distance between the second electrode plate 3633 and the substrate plate 3631 is 0.1mm-5mm.

Based on the interval between the two electrodes, the DBD discharge voltage is relatively low, so that the photocatalyst can be efficiently excited, ozone is not generated, or the ozone generation amount is low and is lower than the user perception threshold, therefore, the photocatalyst catalysis unit 363 which utilizes the DBD discharge to couple the photocatalyst can continuously operate, the odor removal speed is accelerated, the odor removal efficiency is improved, the operation control program is not required to be arranged to reduce the discharge time and the frequency in order to control the ozone at a lower concentration like a common odor removal module, and the odor removal speed is reduced.

In some embodiments of the present application, the controller 6 is configured to, when the odor concentration detected by the first odor detection device reaches a first preset odor concentration threshold value, start the vacuum pump assembly 8, and utilize the vacuum pump assembly 8 to pump the refrigerating chamber 1, so as to promote gas circulation inside and outside the refrigerating chamber 1; the high voltage power supply is turned on, and the photocatalyst catalyzing unit 363 releases the strong oxidizing molecules.

Through the steps, the odor removing module (exemplarily, the photocatalyst catalytic unit 363 in the application) and the fresh air oxygen reducing module are used for simultaneously acting, odor molecules in the air are removed by the odor removing module, and the fresh air oxygen reducing module is used for carrying out gas replacement, so that the odor removing efficiency of the refrigerating chamber 1 is improved. Meanwhile, the odor removing module is matched for odor removing, so that odor tainting among the first air adjusting membrane component 101, the first pipeline component, the vacuum pump component 8 and the refrigerating chamber 1 can be effectively prevented.

In some embodiments of the present application, the controller 6 is configured to, when the odor concentration detected by the second odor detection device reaches a second preset odor concentration threshold, start the vacuum pump assembly 8, and utilize the vacuum pump assembly 8 to pump the fresh-keeping drawer 11, so as to promote the gas circulation inside and outside the fresh-keeping drawer 11; the high voltage power supply is turned on, and the photocatalyst catalyzing unit 363 releases the strong oxidizing molecules.

Through the steps, the odor removing module (exemplarily, the photocatalyst catalytic unit 363 in the application) and the fresh air oxygen reducing module are utilized to act simultaneously, odor molecules in the air are removed by the odor removing module, the fresh air oxygen reducing module is utilized to perform gas replacement, and the odor removing efficiency of the fresh-keeping drawer 11 is improved. Meanwhile, the odor removing module is matched for odor removing, so that odor tainting among the first air adjusting membrane component 101, the first pipeline component, the vacuum pump component 8 and the refrigerating chamber 1 can be effectively prevented.

Referring to fig. 23, the control logic of the odor removal of the refrigerator will be described by taking the refrigerating compartment 1 as an example.

Judging whether the refrigerating chamber is in a closed state (step S2303);

in step S2303, if the refrigerating compartment is in a closed state, step S2301 is performed;

in step S2303, if the refrigerating chamber is not in the closed state, step S2304 is performed, and the refrigerator alarms or the vacuum pump assembly pumps air in a preset working state.

Judging whether the odor concentration detected by the first odor detection device reaches a first preset odor concentration threshold (step S2301);

in step S2301, if the odor concentration reaches the first preset odor concentration threshold, step S2302 is performed, the vacuum pump assembly 8 is turned on, and the high voltage power supply is turned on;

In step S2301, if the odor concentration does not reach the first preset odor concentration threshold, step S2301 is performed.

It should be noted that, the first preset odor concentration threshold is a limit for deodorizing, and may be adjusted according to a user requirement.

It should be noted that the fresh air oxygen-reducing process, the sterilization process and the deodorizing process in the application are arranged in a relatively closed space, so that the efficiency of fresh air ventilation, sterilization and odor removal is improved. Of course, it can be known that the short opening of the closed space can avoid the switching of the component action, so as to avoid the frequent switching of the component and influence the service life of the component.

In some embodiments, the operating state of one or a combination of the vacuum pump assembly 8 and the photocatalyst catalytic unit 363 may be controlled by the magnitude of the odor concentration.

In some implementations of this embodiment, the odor elimination module may be integrated within the same housing 31 as the sterilization module.

In some embodiments of the present embodiment, in the fresh air oxygen reduction process, if the detected concentration of the odor in the room undergoing fresh air oxygen reduction reaches the preset threshold value of the concentration of the odor, at this time, the working state of the vacuum pump assembly 8 is maintained or the working frequency of the vacuum pump assembly 8 is increased, and the high-voltage power supply is turned on, so that the purification module generates a strong oxidizing ion group to adsorb the odor molecules in the air.

In some implementations of this example, the deodorizing action is performed before the fresh air is reduced in oxygen in the compartment, and the high voltage power supply is turned on to cause the purification module to generate a strongly oxidizing ion group. So as to remove smell before the fresh air oxygen-reducing action, and prevent the smell mixing problem between the room time and the components.

In some embodiments of the present application, the sterilization module and the odor elimination module may be integrated together to form a sterilization and odor elimination module such that the sterilization and odor elimination module generates ion clusters and ozone. The functions of the sterilization module and the odor removing module can be separated, so that the fine division of functions is realized.

It should be noted that, when the sterilizing and deodorizing module is used, the operating logic of the sterilizing and deodorizing module may refer to the sterilizing module and the deodorizing module separately.
