在本发明的描述中,需要说明的是,本发明冰箱900及保鲜装置100中的各个元件的技术名称,对本领域技术人员而言,应做广义理解,而不能限制技术构思的应用范围。
下文的公开提供了许多不同的实施方式或例子用来实现本发明的不同方案。
参照图1至图5所示,为本发明第一方面的保鲜装置100,其用于冰箱900中,冰箱900可以指的是广义的制冷存储设备,例如电冰箱、电冰柜、冷藏柜。
在一些实施例中,参照图1所示,一种保鲜装置100,包括:保鲜盒体101,包括上层框架102和下层框架103,下层框架103设置有容纳空间,下层框架103的一侧设置有与容纳空间连通的开口111,与开口111相对的另一侧设置有与容纳空间连通的进气口601,上层框架102设置有制冷风道301,用于给容纳空间制冷;抽屉104,能通过开口111进入并收容于容纳空间中,以与保鲜盒体101配合形成密闭的收容空间308;氮气发生装置105,连接于保鲜盒体101上设置有进气口601的一侧,即保鲜盒体101的后侧,并能将生成的氮气通过进气口601充入收容空间308中。需要说明的是,进气口601也可以设置在其它侧,需根据冰箱900的冷藏间室901的结构来具体确定。
在上述实施例中,可以理解的是,为了保证抽屉104与保鲜盒体101配合形成密闭的收容空间308,下层框架103本身除了开口111以及进气口601外,应构成封闭的结构,并且上层框架102的制冷风道301与下层框架103的容纳空间应该隔离的。
需要说明的是,参照图3所示,冷空气从冷风进口201进入制冷风道301,而后从冷风出口306排出,而形成冷空气流304,以使得制冷风道301与容纳空间进行热交换,降低容纳空间的温度。氮气发生装置105生成的氮气则通过进气口601(参照图6所示)进入收容空间308中,从而形成氮气流305。作为本领域可以知悉的是,为了让制冷风道301的低温尽快传递到容纳空间,上层框架102与下层框架103之间的隔离件选择传热效率好的材料,例如金属等。
在上述实施例中,氮气发生装置105利用PSA制氮方法,将空气(本实施例中也可以是冰箱900内的冷空气)中氧气去除从而产生纯净的氮气,再将氮气注入收容空间308内部以实现使水果蔬菜等食品保鲜的目的。变压吸附PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption)是目前生产气体的一项主流技术,变压吸附具体是指在温度不变的情况下,对混合气体进行加压,并利用吸附剂吸附多余的杂质气体从而获得较为纯净的单一气体,再用减压或常压的方法使得吸附剂内的杂质气体解吸出来,以对吸附剂进行二次利用。氧气吸附剂是目前实现氧氮分离,从空气中提取氮气的常用吸附剂,在吸附压力相同时,氧气吸附剂对氧的吸附量大大高于对氮的吸附量。PSA制氮方法利用这一原理,以空气为原料,运用变压吸附技术,利用氧气吸附剂对氧和氮的选择性吸附,实现空气中的氮和氧分离,从而生产出纯净的氮气。
在上述实施例中,保鲜装置100可根据需要整体置于某一低温环境中,也可以将保鲜 装置100的制冷风道301直接连接现成的制冷设备的风道,以实现容纳空间的快速制冷。
在上述实施例中,为了确保抽屉104能够方便进入容纳空间中,并且能将容纳空间准确封闭,以形成密闭的收容空间308,下层框架103内部设置导轨110,本领域技术人员可以知悉的是,抽屉104底部也设置导轨110配合的导向机构(图中未示出)。
另外,作为本领域技术人员可以知悉的是,为了给保鲜装置100供电,保鲜装置100使用时必然与电源进行电连接,为了对保鲜装置100进行控制,保鲜装置100必然自身具有控制器或者与外界的控制器进行连接。
根据本发明实施例的保鲜装置100,至少具有如下有益效果:采用抽屉104式结构,能够方便打开且便于密封;抽屉104与保险盒体101配合形成密闭的收容空间308后,能保证氮气发生装置105产生的氮气迅速的充入收容空间308,随着压力的增大,收容空间308的富氧气体被挤出收容空间308,由于气体扩散原理,气体从高浓度的地方向低浓度的地方自然扩散,很快抽屉104内氮气浓度就可以提升到设定值(即相对地,氧气浓度就可以降低到设定值),并保持浓度均匀;而在保鲜盒体101上设置制冷风道301,能提升收容空间308的制冷效果,良好的降氧效果和制冷能力使得食品(即蔬菜、水果等)的保鲜效果得以提升。另外的,通过将保鲜盒体101和氮气发生装置105设置为整体式结构,能大大缩小保鲜装置100的体积,可以作为模块化结构置于冰箱900中使用,使得保鲜装置100的应用更加灵活。
在一些实施例中,保鲜装置100还包括单向阀(图中未示出),设置于下层框架103或者抽屉104上,以使得收容空间308内的气体能排出到保鲜装置100外。
通过设置单向阀,其目的在于:当氮气发生装置105生成的氮气进入收容空间308后,随着压力的增加,可使得收容空间308的气体通过单向阀排出到收容空间308外,同时防止外界的空气通过单向阀进入到收容空间308内,从而使得收容空间308的氮气浓度提高,氧气浓度下降,以提供一个低氧的环境。需要说明的是,单向阀设置在抽屉104上时,可设置于抽屉104的外侧,即设置在端盖109上,以便收容空间308的气体方便排出到收容空间308外,单向阀设置在下层框架103上时,可设置于下层框架103的侧壁上,同样可以便于收容空间308的气体方便排出到收容空间308外。
在一些实施例中,氮气发生装置105包括:壳体107,设置有用于连接进气口601的出气口106;真空泵401,具有泵进气管402和泵出气管406;吸附筒302,内部设置有氧气吸附剂,吸附筒302具有筒进气管405和筒出气管409,筒进气管405同时连接泵进气管402和泵出气管406,筒进气管405与泵进气管402之间连接有第一三通阀403,筒进气管405与泵出气管406之间连接有第二三通阀404;氮气储罐303,具有罐进气管407 和罐出气管408,罐进气管407与筒出气管409连通,罐出气管408与出气口106连通。需要说明的是,氧气吸附剂可选择碳分子筛、沸石等。
在吸附过程中,真空泵401受控地向吸附筒302注入一定正压力的空气,氧气吸附剂吸附掉注入空气中的氧气。制备的氮气从吸附筒302的出气口106进入氮气储罐303,氮气储罐303的罐出气管408连通收容空间308以向其提供氮气;在解吸过程中,真空泵401受控地以一定负压力从吸附筒302抽气,使氧气更容易从氧气吸附剂上脱附并通过解吸出气管排出。
传统的PSA制氮装置大多用于大规模制氮,并且包括空气罐和油水分离装置,空气压缩机工作压力大,体积庞大,结构复杂,不能满足为冰箱900制氮的要求。本发明实施例的保鲜装置100,因采用负压解吸,降低了对真空泵401压力要求,可以使真空泵401体积减小、成本降低、噪音降低,从而更容易嵌入到冰箱900内部,提高冰箱900的保鲜性能。需要说明的是,负压解吸同时使杂质气体(水蒸气等)更容易脱附排出,降低了对空气洁净度的要求。同时,真空泵401的产生的压力在0.5bar~1bar左右,该压力足以挤压收容空间308中的空气通过抽屉104的门封或单向阀排出。并且,第一三通阀403和第二三通阀404的设置也使得同一真空泵401即为吸附提供了空气压力作用,又为解析提供了空气压力作用,也进一步的减小了保鲜装置100的整体结构体积,便于保鲜装置100嵌入到冰箱900内部。本领域技术人员可以知悉的是,为实现下述过程,必然通过控制器(图中未示出)来实现,控制器可以设置在气调发生装置105上,也可以分离在其他设备上,例如设置在冰箱900上。
为了更清楚的说明氮气发生装置105的工作过程,现在参照图7、图8进行说明。
图7示出的是氮气发生装置105的吸附过程,箭头方向示出的是气体流动方向。当收到启动吸附过程的命令后,真空泵401运转,空气从第一三通阀403的左口进,下口出,右口封闭,空气依次通过泵进气管402、泵出气管406,然后从第二三通阀404的下口进,右口出,左口封闭,并以一定的压力通过筒进气管405进入吸附筒302完成氧气吸附过程。
图8示出的是氮气发生装置105的解析过程,箭头方向示出的是气体流动方向。当收到启动解析过程的命令后,真空泵401运转,空气从吸附筒302中抽出,由第一三通阀403的右口进,下口出,左口封闭,然后依次通过泵进气管402、泵出气管406,再从第二三通阀404的下口进,左口出,右口封闭,完成氧气解析过程。
需要进一步说明的是,吸附筒302可采用低成本模压塑料制成,以减轻氮气发生装置105的重量,并降低氮气发生装置105的制造成本。为了使得第一三通阀403的右口和第二三通阀404的右口都能连接到吸附筒302的筒进气管405,可在第一三通阀403的右口、 第二三通阀404的右口和筒进气管405之间设置一三通。
在一些实施例中,参照图4、图5所示,真空泵401、吸附筒302和氮气储罐303共平面设置于壳体107内,以进一步减小氮气发生装置105的整体厚度,便于放置在保鲜盒体101后侧,从而减小整个保鲜装置100的体积。对于管路结构及阀类结构而言,占用空间相对较少,在上述布局的基础上,本领域技术人员能够本着节省空间的原则,进行优化设计。
在一些实施例中,参照图4所示,筒出气管409与罐进气管407之间设置有第一单向阀410,出气口106与罐出气管408之间设置有第二单向阀411。通过设置第一单向阀410,可防止氮气储罐303的氮气回流到吸附筒302中,尤其在解析过程中,真空泵401会给吸附筒302一负压,第一单向阀410能起到阻止氮气储罐303的氮气回流的作用。通过设置第二单向阀411,同样能起到防止收容空间308中的气体回流到氮气储罐303的效果,同时,由于收容空间308的相对密封设计,其目的在于维持收容空间308的低氧环境,第二单向阀411对此目的也起到了作用。
在一些实施例中,密封盒体的进气口601形成有内孔圆柱,氮气发生装置105的出气口106形成有与内孔圆柱配合的凹槽603,内孔圆柱与内孔圆柱之间设置有密封圈602。如此设置,在保鲜装置100安装过程中,当氮气发生装置105安装在保鲜盒体101后,氮气发生装置105的出气口106与密封盒体的进气口601能通过密封圈602自动密封,从而减少了用软管接头连接的麻烦,保鲜装置100一体性更佳。
需要说明的是,氮气发生装置105的出气口106可以作为可拆卸的结构,即氮气发生装置105上预留有安装出气口106的位置,组装时,只需将出气口106结构嵌入预留位置即可。此时为方便将出气口106结构嵌入到预留位置内,出气口106结构的右端设置为内孔圆柱的结构,并且在内孔圆柱的最右端设置导向部604,同时,为防止出气口106结构还包括限位部605,以防止出气口106结构从预留位置中脱出。
在一些实施例中,参照图1所示,保鲜盒体101的开口111与抽屉104之间设置有密封条108,以保证开口111与抽屉104之间的密封性。需要说明的是,根据保鲜盒体101的整体结构,密封条108设置在下层框架103上,抽屉104的端盖109内侧的轮廓形状同密封条108的形状相适应,密封条108可以采用改性聚氯乙烯(PVC),硫化三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)和热塑性三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM/PP)胶条;密封条108也可设置抽屉104的端盖109内侧,方便保鲜盒体101的开口111与抽屉104之间的密封。可以理解的是,当下层框架103或者抽屉104上没有设置单向阀时,氮气发生装置105产生的氮气充入收容空间308后,压力值增加到一定值时,可将收容空间308的气体从密封条108处挤出。上述压 力值为0.5bar~1bar左右。
在一些实施例中,参照图3所示,上层框架102的一侧侧壁上冷风进口201开设在保鲜盒体101的进气口601的同一侧,相对的另一侧侧壁上(及保鲜盒体101的开口111一侧)开设有冷风出口306。通过在将冷风进口201和冷风出口306沿着抽屉104的移动方向设置,使得制冷风道301与容纳空间最大范围重合,以提高制冷风道301对容纳空间的制冷效果。
在一些实施例中,参照图3所示,上层框架102凸出下层框架103设置,以使得保鲜盒体101在开口111的一侧设置形成一凹部307,至少部分抽屉104的端盖109置于所述凹部307内。如此设置,一方面能加大制冷风道301的制冷范围,另一方面能避免抽屉104的端盖109凸设于保鲜盒体101上,影响整体美观。
需要说明的是,冷风出口306及位于上层框架102上,与抽屉104的端盖109邻近的位置处,当抽屉104闭合后,抽屉104的端盖109和上层框架102之间具有缝隙,以防止抽屉104的端盖109将制冷风道301的冷风出口306遮蔽,从而影响制冷风道301的冷空气的流动性。
在一些实施例中,为了检测收容空间308的氧气浓度,在下层框架103上或者抽屉104内侧还具有氧气浓度检测装置(图中未示出),通过获取氧气浓度检测装置的检测数值来控制氮气发生装置105的制氮开始时间以及制氮时长,以更加智能化的控制氧气浓度,提高控制精度,延长果蔬类食品的保鲜时间。
参照图9所示,为本发明第二方面的冰箱900,其具有冷藏间室901及冷藏风道(图中未示出),冷藏风道与冷藏间室901连通,冷藏风道具有出风口(图中未示出);冰箱900还具有上述本发明实施例中的保鲜装置100,置于冷藏间室901中,其中制冷风道301与出风口连通。从而直接利用冷藏风道为容纳空间降温。
需要说明的是,冰箱900冷藏间室901的温度最适应果蔬类食品的保鲜,通常而言,预留空间较大,适合保鲜装置的放置。另外,作为本领域技术人员可以知悉的是,为了给保鲜装置100供电,保鲜装置100必然与冰箱900电源进行电连接,为了对保鲜装置100进行控制,保鲜装置100必然自身具有控制器或者与冰箱900的控制器进行连接。
氮气发生装置105所需要的空气为冷藏间室901的冷空气,这样能保证收容空间308的温度不会发生太大波动,有利于果蔬的保鲜。
尽管已经示出和描述了本发明的实施方式,本领域的普通技术人员可以理解:以上仅为本发明的实施方式,旨在体现本发明的突出技术效果和优势,并非是对本发明的技术方案的限制。本领域技术人员应当了解的是,一切基于本发明技术内容所做出的修改、变化 或者替代技术特征,皆应涵盖于本发明所附权利要求主张的技术范畴内。
