In order to improve the fresh-keeping effect of the refrigerator and the longer fresh-keeping time requirement of part of food materials, lower compartment temperature is needed, and the common freezing compartment can only meet the conventional requirement at-18 ℃, and part of high-grade food materials such as tuna also need lower temperature, for example, the compartment reaches-50 ℃. However, when the temperature of the compartment reaches about-50 ℃, the evaporator frosts faster at this time, and the time required for keeping the temperature of the compartment to reach the set temperature is longer, which affects the power consumption of the refrigerator, so timely defrosting is required to ensure the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator. For example, in the prior art, there is a method of heating brine by using heat of a condenser and spraying brine onto an evaporator to defrost, although an electric heating structure is avoided, brine temperature in the technical scheme is higher, and water vapor which is atomized when a frost layer is melted during defrosting, if the brine is used in a refrigerator, the whole air duct and a compartment have larger water vapor and heat, which affects the compartment temperature, that is, in the prior art, the compartment temperature is caused to affect the fresh-keeping and refrigerating effects in the compartment, and therefore, the application provides a refrigerating assembly as shown in fig. 1 to 5, which comprises: a case 1, wherein a compartment 11 is formed in the case 1; the defrosting water tank 2 is arranged in the tank body 1, an air return opening 21 and an air outlet 22 are formed in the defrosting water tank 2, and the compartment 11 is communicated with the air return opening 21 and the air outlet 22 to form an air flow circulation channel; a freezing evaporator 3, wherein the freezing evaporator 3 is arranged in the defrosting water tank 2; a defrosting heating structure 4, wherein the defrosting heating structure 4 is arranged in the defrosting water tank 2, and the defrosting heating structure 4 is positioned below the freezing evaporator 3; a water supply structure which is communicated with the defrosting water tank 2; the refrigerating assembly has a defrosting mode, when the refrigerating assembly is in the defrosting mode, the air return opening 21 is closed, and the water supply structure supplies water into the defrosting water tank 2. The freezing evaporator 3 is arranged in the defrosting water tank 2, when defrosting of the freezing evaporator 3 is started, water can be supplied to the freezing evaporator 3 through the water supply structure, the freezing evaporator 3 is flushed through water supplied through the water supply structure at the starting stage of defrosting, partial frost layers on the freezing evaporator 3 are flushed, meanwhile, the return air port 21 is closed, water and heat are prevented from being transferred into the compartment 11, hot air during defrosting cannot be generated and enter the compartment 11, the temperature in the compartment 11 is basically not changed, the freezing evaporator 3 is submerged along with gradual water supply of the water supply structure, at the moment, the defrosting heating structure 4 heats the water, the specific heat capacity of the water is higher than the specific heat capacity of air, the defrosting efficiency of the freezing evaporator 3 is improved, meanwhile, the freezing evaporator 3 is immersed in the water and cannot generate radiation, the temperature influence of the heat generated by the defrosting heating structure 4 on the compartment 11 can be further reduced, the fresh-keeping storage effect of the compartment 11 is effectively guaranteed, and meanwhile, the defrosting effect can be effectively improved, and user experience is improved.
When the refrigeration assembly works normally, the compressor provides low-temperature refrigerants for the freezing evaporator 3, gas in the compartment 11 can enter the defrosting water tank 2 through the air return opening 21 and is in contact heat exchange with the freezing evaporator 3, the heat exchanged gas flows back into the compartment 11 through the air outlet 22, namely, the gas can circulate in the freezing evaporator 3 and the compartment 11, so that the purpose of refrigerating the compartment 11 by the freezing evaporator 3 is achieved, at the moment, the air return opening 21 of the defrosting water tank 2 is in an open state to ensure that the gas smoothly flows into the defrosting water tank 2, and the defrosting heating structure 4 stops working.
When the refrigerating assembly is used for defrosting, the air return opening 21 is closed, the water supply structure starts to fill water into the defrosting water tank 2, water of the water supply structure starts to wash the freezing evaporator 3, part of frost layers on the freezing evaporator 3 are washed away, meanwhile, the air return opening 21 is closed to avoid water and heat transfer into the compartment 11, hot air during defrosting cannot be generated and enter the compartment 11, the temperature in the compartment 11 is basically not changed, the freezing evaporator 3 is submerged along with gradual water supply of the water supply structure, at the moment, the defrosting heating structure 4 heats the water, the specific heat capacity of the water is higher than the specific heat capacity of air, defrosting efficiency of the freezing evaporator 3 is improved, radiation is not generated when the freezing evaporator 3 is immersed in the water, the temperature influence of heat generated by the defrosting heating structure 4 on the compartment 11 can be further reduced, the fresh-keeping storage effect of the compartment 11 is effectively guaranteed, and meanwhile, the defrosting effect can be effectively improved, and user experience is improved. Meanwhile, after the water surface does not cool the freezing evaporator 3, water seals are formed at the positions of the air return opening 21 and the air outlet 22, heat is only transferred inside the defrosting water tank 2, and the heat radiated to the freezing compartment 11 through the water surface is smaller (at the moment, the water temperature is lower and the freezing compartment cannot boil). Conventional defrosting heaters of the prior art, typically 200w, have resulted in temperature fluctuations within the compartment 11, whereas the power of the defrosting heating structure 4 can be increased (e.g. to 1000w to 2000 w) due to the presence of the water seal in the present application, thereby enabling a multiple shortening of the defrosting cycle. Wherein the defrosting heating structure 4 may be an electric heating structure.
After defrosting is finished, water in the defrosting water tank 2 is discharged out of the defrosting water tank 2, the air return opening 21 is opened, and the compressor supplies refrigerant for the freezing evaporator 3 again.
In order to simplify the structure of the refrigeration assembly and ensure the sealing effect of the air return opening 21, the refrigeration assembly further comprises a liquid seal structure 5, wherein the liquid seal structure 5 is arranged at the air return opening 21, and the liquid seal structure 5 is communicated with the defrosting water tank 2. After the water supply structure supplies water into the defrosting water tank 2, water can flow into the liquid seal structure 5 to achieve a sealing effect, so that the sealing effect of the air return opening 21 is guaranteed, water is prevented from flowing into the room 11, and meanwhile, automatic sealing is achieved without arranging a control structure, and sealing reliability of the air return opening 21 is guaranteed. As an embodiment, the liquid sealing structure 5 includes a liquid sealing shell 51 and a partition plate 52, the partition plate 52 is disposed in the liquid sealing shell 51 and divides the interior of the liquid sealing shell 51 into a first communication cavity 53 and a second communication cavity 54, a space 55 is formed between the upper end of the partition plate 52 and the top surface of the liquid sealing shell 51, the first communication cavity 53 and the second communication cavity 54 are communicated by the space 55, a first communication port is disposed on the first communication cavity 53 and is communicated with the compartment 11, a second communication port is disposed on the second communication cavity 54 and is communicated with the return air inlet 21, and both the first communication port and the second communication port are located below the space 55. The water in the defrosting water tank 2 can flow into the second communication cavity 54 through the second communication opening, the water cannot enter the first communication cavity 53 due to the blocking of the partition plate 52, and the second communication opening is blocked along with the rising of the water level in the defrosting water tank 2, and at the moment, the gas cannot flow in the liquid seal shell 51, so that the air return opening 21 is sealed. And when the refrigeration assembly works normally, water is not contained in the liquid seal shell 51 and the defrosting water tank 2, and the gas in the time chamber 11 can sequentially enter the air return opening 21 through the first communication opening, the first communication cavity 53, the interval 55, the second communication cavity 54 and the second communication opening, so that the normal flow of the gas is realized, and the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration evaporator 3 on the time chamber 11 is ensured. Further, due to the communicating vessel principle, the water level in the second communicating chamber 54 will rise with the water level in the defrosting water tank 2, so as to ensure that the liquid level in the defrosting water tank 2 will not flow into the first communicating chamber 53 through the space 55 when the freezing evaporator 3 is not in use, and the level of the upper end of the partition plate 52 is higher than the level of the highest point of the freezing evaporator 3. At this time, the water level in the defrosting water tank 2 can submerge the freezing evaporator 3, but cannot flow into the first communicating cavity 53 through the space 55, and cannot enter the compartment 11 through the first communicating cavity 53 and the first communicating port, so that the reliability of the refrigerating assembly is ensured.
The refrigeration assembly further comprises a limiter 6, the limiter 6 is arranged in the second communication cavity 54, the level of the limiter 6 is lower than the level of the upper end of the partition plate 52, and the level of the limiter 6 is higher than the level of the highest point of the freezing evaporator 3. The water level in the second communication cavity 54 is detected by the limiter 6, when the water level in the second communication cavity 54 reaches the limiter 6, the water level in the defrosting water tank 2 is indicated to be immersed in the freezing evaporator 3 at the moment, the freezing evaporator 3 can be defrosted, the water supply structure stops supplying water to the defrosting water tank 2 at the moment, the water level does not rise, and therefore the water does not flow into the first communication cavity 53 through the interval 55, and the working reliability of the refrigeration assembly is guaranteed.
Preferably, the limiter 6 may be a water level detection mechanism, and the water level in the defrosting water tank 2 can be determined by directly detecting the water level in the second communication cavity 54 by using the water level detection mechanism.
Or, the limiter 6 includes a float and a contact switch, the float is disposed in the second communication chamber 54 and can move along with the water level in the second communication chamber 54, when the float moves to a set position, the contact switch is triggered to judge that the water level reaches a preset value, and the contact switch sends a water supply stopping signal to the water supply structure.
In order to avoid that water is stored in the second communication chamber 54, which would cause gas to carry this part of the water to the freeze evaporator 3, which would cause an increase in the frosting frequency of the freeze evaporator 3, for this purpose the first communication port is located in the lower half of the first communication chamber 53 and the second communication port is located in the lower half of the second communication chamber 54. When the defrosting water tank 2 is drained, water in the second communication cavity 54 can be synchronously drained, so that water cannot be stored in the second communication cavity 54, the frosting frequency of the freezing evaporator 3 is reduced, and the working efficiency of the refrigerating assembly is improved.
As an embodiment, the refrigeration assembly further comprises a refrigeration evaporator 7 and a water receiving disc 8, wherein the refrigeration evaporator 7 is arranged in the box body 1, the water receiving disc 8 is positioned below the refrigeration evaporator 7, and the water receiving disc 8 forms the water supply structure. The room 11 includes cold-stored room and freezing room, cold-stored evaporator 7 can refrigerate cold-stored room 11, freezing evaporator 3 can refrigerate the freezing room, because the temperature is in 0 ℃ or 2 ℃ to 8 ℃ in the cold-stored room 11 generally for the gaseous vapor's that flows to cold-stored evaporator 7 department content is great, cold-stored evaporator 7's temperature need not be too low simultaneously, consequently, cold-stored evaporator 7 department can produce the comdenstion water, water collector 8 can accept the comdenstion water, and when defrosting freezing evaporator 3, send the comdenstion water of collecting into defrosting water tank 2 in order to supply with freezing evaporator 3 and defrost, need not to mend the water source from refrigeration module's outside, improve refrigeration module's convenience. And the water temperature of the condensed water generated at the refrigerating evaporator 7 is between 0 ℃ or 2 ℃ and 8 ℃, and the water temperature sent to the freezing evaporator 3 has some influence on the freezing compartment 11 if too high, so that the water temperature sent to the defrosting water tank 2 is reduced as much as possible in order to reduce the temperature fluctuation as much as possible, and the temperature of the condensed water generated at the refrigerating evaporator 7 is lower, so that the water temperature requirement of the defrosting water tank 2 is just met.
Because the freezing evaporator 3 does not defrost frequently, and the refrigerating evaporator 7 is in the refrigeration assembly and can continuously produce condensed water when working, therefore, the refrigeration assembly also comprises a refrigerating water tank 9, the refrigerating water tank 9 is arranged in the box body 1, the water outlet of the water receiving disc 8 is communicated with the refrigerating water tank 9, and the refrigerating water tank 9 forms the water supply structure. The condensate water is collected and stored by utilizing the refrigerating water tank 9, so that the refrigerating evaporator 7 and the water receiving disc 8 can work normally, the water quantity of the condensate water can be ensured to meet the defrosting requirement of the freezing evaporator 3, and the defrosting reliability of the refrigerating assembly is ensured.
In order to further improve the defrosting effect on the freezing evaporator 3, the refrigerating assembly further comprises a drainage structure which is arranged in the defrosting water tank 2, and the outlet of the drainage structure is communicated with the refrigerating water tank 9. The water in the defrosting water tank 2 is pumped into the refrigerating water tank 9 by utilizing the water draining structure, and then flows into the defrosting water tank 2 from the refrigerating water tank 9, so that the flow of water is realized, the convection heat exchange is formed in the defrosting water tank 2 by utilizing the flow of water, and the defrosting effect is further increased while the freezing evaporator 3 is soaked.
The refrigerating water tank 9 is located above the defrosting water tank 2, a communicating pipe is arranged between the refrigerating water tank 9 and the defrosting water tank 2, and an anti-freezing structure is arranged on the communicating pipe. The water in the refrigeration water tank 9 is drained into the defrosting water tank 2 by using the communicating pipe, and the inside of the communicating pipe is frozen due to the lower temperature of the freezing evaporator 3, so that the communicating pipe is provided with an anti-freezing structure to heat the inside of the communicating pipe, thereby ensuring the connectivity of the communicating pipe. The anti-freezing structure can be an electric heating wire, and the electric heating wire surrounds the outer wall of the communicating pipe. Since less heat is generated by the freeze-proof structure, there is substantially no excessive influence on the temperature of the compartment 11.
And in order to realize the communication control between the refrigerating water tank 9 and the defrosting water tank 2, an on-off mechanism is arranged on the communicating pipe. When the water supply to the defrosting water tank 2 is needed, the on-off mechanism is switched to the communication state, and the water of the refrigerating water tank 9 can flow into the defrosting water tank 2 through the communication pipe, and when the water supply to the defrosting water tank 2 is not needed, the on-off mechanism is switched to the off state.
The freeze evaporator 3 is provided with a hydrophobic layer. The water-repellent layer is utilized to reduce the retention of water on the freezing evaporator 3 as much as possible, so that the freezing evaporator 3 is prevented from frosting again when working, and the reliability of the refrigeration assembly is improved. Preferably, the hydrophobic layer may be selected to be a hydrophobic aluminum foil.
The refrigeration assembly further comprises a refrigeration fan 10, the refrigeration fan 10 is arranged at the air outlet 22, and the refrigeration fan 10 can exhaust air to the refrigeration evaporator 3. When the refrigerating assembly performs refrigerating operation, the refrigerating fan 10 generates negative pressure at the air outlet 22 to force air in the compartment 11 to enter the defrosting water tank 2 through the air return opening 21, performs heat exchange with the refrigerating evaporator 3, and then completes refrigerating after being sent into the compartment 11 through the air outlet 22 and the refrigerating fan 10. After defrosting is finished, the refrigerating fan 10 reversely rotates to blow air to the refrigerating evaporator 3, so that water on the refrigerating evaporator 3 is blown off, water storage on the refrigerating evaporator 3 is further avoided, and the reliability of the refrigerating assembly is further guaranteed. Specifically, after defrosting is completed, the freezing blower 10 may be turned on for a short time to blow the freezing evaporator 3, for example, 10 seconds. Then when the temperature of the freezing evaporator 3 reaches the requirement again (for example, -50 ℃ to-60 ℃), the freezing blower 10 is turned on to supply air into the compartment 11.
A refrigerator comprises the refrigeration assembly.
