Definitions

  • the present invention is related to a refrigerator with a dry article chamber, which belongs to the field of electric home appliances.
  • General refrigerators with two cooling and circulating systems for a refrigerator and a freezing compartment respectively are known from WO2011/002182A2 , US5231847A or US2013/186129A1 .
  • JP 2009 264666 A discloses a refrigerator with the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • Humidity generally refers to air humidity in meteorology, or water vapor content in the air excluding water in a liquid or solid state. Air not containing water vapor is called dry air. As water vapor in the atmosphere may account 0% to 4% of the air volume, when the constituents of various gases in the air are listed, it means the proportion of these constituents in dry air.
  • AH Absolute humidity
  • RH relative humidity
  • Air of an RH of 100% is saturate air. Air of an RH of 50% contains a half of the water vapor contained in saturate air with the same temperature. Generally, water vapor in air of an RH of over 100% condenses into water or ice. As the temperature rises, air can dissolve more water vapor, and the AH of air increases. When the RH value of air exceeds 100%, water vapor contained in the air condenses, which may facilitate cooling and dehumidification. If the temperature rises further, the RH value will decrease, which may facilitate drying.
  • Drying of food is mainly related with the RH.
  • Storage compartments of low RH of refrigerators are developed to store various dry articles or food requiring a dry environment (such as tea and nuts). Dry food is sensitive to the RH of the storage environment, and usually needs a relatively low RH, which may change in a small range. Otherwise, such food may deteriorate or its quality may be negatively affected.
  • a traditional method of reducing the RH of compartments utilizes the principle of cooling and dehumidification.
  • the air in a compartment is sufficiently cooled by an evaporator, so that water vapor is precipitated and air of lower absolute humidity is obtained.
  • the air of higher absolute humidity in the compartment is exchanged with the dehumidified air (that is, the air of higher absolute humidity in the compartment is driven out, and the air absolute humidity in the compartment is reduced).
  • the temperature is raised by the environment, so that lower RH is obtained and drying is realized.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a refrigerator that can provide a dry article chamber therein with air of lower absolute humidity to achieve better dehumidification effects.
  • a refrigerator comprising: a dry article chamber, a cold chamber, a first cooling and circulating system and a second cooling and circulating system in which a coolant circulates respectively, wherein an evaporating temperature of the first cooling and circulating system is lower than that of the second cooling and circulating system, the first cooling and circulating system comprises an evaporator arranged inside the cold chamber, and a refrigerating output passage is arranged between the cold chamber and the dry article chamber.

  • the refrigerator further comprises a controller, which is electrically connected to the control valves and controls the alternative starting of the first and second capillary tubes according to the humidity condition in the dry article chamber.

  • the refrigerating compartment and the freezing compartment are formed by foam layer clapboards respectively
  • the dry article chamber is arranged inside the refrigerating compartment
  • the refrigerating output passage extends from the cold chamber, passes through the foam layer clap
  • the refrigerator further comprises a return air passage communicating with the dry article chamber, wherein the return air passage passes downwards and through the foam layer clapboards and returns exchanging air in the dry article chamber to the freezing compartment or extends from a side or rear portion of the freezing compartment and directly communicates with the cold chamber; and one side of the return air passage is provided with a return air door.

  • the first capillary tube 161 When dehumidifying and drying are needed, the first capillary tube 161 is switched on, and the coolant flows into the evaporator 13 through the first capillary tube161, so that the evaporating temperature becomes lower, and correspondingly, an absolute humidity of air in the cold chamber 14 becomes lower.
  • the second capillary tube 162 After the dehumidifying is completed, the second capillary tube 162 is switched on, and the coolant flows into the evaporator 13 through the second capillary tube 162, so that the cooling temperature of the evaporator 13 is maintained at a normal temperature range of the refrigerating compartment. That is, the temperature is raised so as to reduce the absolute humidity.
