Description

在门体上形成储物空间的冰箱 技术领域
本发明涉及冰箱，特别是涉及一种在门体上形成储物空间的冰箱。
背景技术
现有冰箱一般利用箱体形成储物空间，并通过门体对该储物空间进行开闭。这种传统的空间结构，对空间的划分不够灵活，特别是大容量冰箱，会导致储物空间无法充分利用；另一方面用户开关门体进行物品取放操作，也容易造成冷量泄露。
为了充分利用冰箱空间，现有技术中出现门中门结构，也即在门体包括内层门和外层门。内层门用于封闭箱体空间，并且内层门自身也具有储物空间。外层门用于封闭内层门上的储物空间。在用户需要取放内层门上的物品时，只需要打开外层门，提高了储物空间的布局灵活性。
然而现有的门中门冰箱，内层门上的储物空间一般仍直接与箱体储物空间直接连通，在开启外层门后，箱体储物空间的冷量仍然容易泄露。而且内层门储物空间与箱体储物空间也容易串味，并且一旦出现腐败食物，也会导致细菌在整个冰箱内传播。
发明内容
本发明的一个目的是要提供一种门体储物空间与箱体储物空间相对独立的的冰箱。
本发明一个进一步的目的是要避免细菌在门体储物空间与箱体储物空间之间传播扩散。
特别地，本发明提供了一种在门体上形成储物空间的冰箱，该冰箱包括：
箱体，其内至少限定有第一储物空间，第一储物空间具有前向开口；
内层门，可枢转地设置于前向开口的前部，并且内层门包括：储物胆体，限定出第二储物空间，第二储物空间在远离箱体的一侧具有开口，储物胆体朝向所述前向开口的一侧开设有送风口，并利用送风口将第一储物空间的低温气体引入第二储物空间，以对第二储物空间内部制冷；杀菌模块，设置于送风口处，并对经过的气体进行杀菌处理；
内层门框，设置于储物胆体的外周；

根据下文结合附图对本发明具体实施例的详细描述，本领域技术人员将会更加明了本发明的上述以及其他目的、优点和特征。
附图说明
后文将参照附图以示例性而非限制性的方式详细描述本发明的一些具体实施例。附图中相同的附图标记标示了相同或类似的部件或部分。本领域技术人员应该理解，这些附图未必是按比例绘制的。附图中：
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的在门体上形成储物空间的冰箱的示意性透视图；

具体实施方式
在本发明的描述中，需要理解的是，术语“上”、“下”、“前”、“后”、“顶”、“底”等指示的方位或位置关系为基于附图所示的方位或位置关系，仅是为了便于描述本发明和简化描述，而不是指示或暗示所指的装置或元件必须具有特定的方位、以特定的方位构造和操作，因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。也即本发明实施例中有涉及方向性指示(诸如上、下、前、后、顶、底……))，则该方向性指示仅用于解释在某一特定姿态(如附图所示或如冰箱常规使用状态)下各部件之间的相对位置关系等。
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的在门体11上形成储物空间的冰箱10的 示意性透视图。该在门体11上形成储物空间的冰箱10一般性地可包括：箱体12、门体11。
箱体12内至少限定有第一储物空间(被门体11遮挡，未在图中示出)，第一储物空间具有前向开口。一般来说，箱体12内限定有至少一个前侧敞开的储物空间，通常为多个，按照制冷温度以及功能可分为冷藏室、冷冻室、变温室等等。具体的储物间室的数量和功能可以根据预先的需求进行配置。上述第一储物空间可以为箱体12限定出多个储物空间中的一个或多个。
门体11，设置于箱体12前侧，用于开闭储物间室。例如门体11可以通过铰接的方式设置箱体12前部的一侧，通过枢转的方式开闭箱体12。门体11可以根据箱体12的布局进行配置。箱体12的布局结构可以根据冰箱的功能和需求进行配置，例如设置为对开门、T型(十字对开)、法式(四门、多门)等多种形式。
在本实施例的在门体11上形成储物空间的冰箱10中，箱体12限定出的第一储物空间具有前向开口，并且通过双层门(或称为门中门)来封闭该第一储物空间。图2是根据本发明一个实施例的在门体11上形成储物空间的冰箱10中门体11的一个角度的示意图。图3是根据本发明一个实施例的在门体11上形成储物空间中冰箱10的门体11的另一角度的示意图。图2和图3分别示出了在外层门110打开状态下门体11的前侧结构以及后侧结构。
门体11可以包括：内层门200以及外层门110。内层门200可枢转地设置于前向开口的前部，其内可以限定出第二储物空间210。外层门110可枢转地设置于内层门200框远离箱体12的一侧，并用于开闭第二储物空间210的开口。在外层门110单独开启时，可以显露出第二储物空间210。另外外层门110还可随内层门200同时开启，从而可以显露出箱体12限定的第一储物空间。由于双层门的铰链和旋转结构本身为本领域技术人员所习知，在本实施例中不做过多赘述。
在本实施例的冰箱10中，第二储物空间210与第一储物空间相对独立。在外层门110单独打开时，可以避免第一储物空间的冷量泄露。在正常储物过程中也可以避免第一储物空间与第二储物空间210之间串味。
图4是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱10中内层门200的示意图。图5是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱10中内层门200的部件爆炸示意图。图6 是图5所示内层门200中储物胆体220顶部的示意性局部放大视图。图4、5、6中为了示出内层门200的内部结构，隐去了内层门框240。
内层门200可以包括：储物胆体220、杀菌模块230、内层门框240。储物胆体220限定出第二储物空间210，第二储物空间210在远离箱体12的一侧具有开口，储物胆体220朝向前向开口的一侧开设有送风口223，并利用送风口223将第一储物空间的低温气体引入第二储物空间210，以对第二储物空间210内部制冷。杀菌模块230设置于送风口223处，并对经过的气体进行杀菌处理。内层门框240设置于储物胆体220的外周，内层门框240的两侧分别具有与外层门110以及箱体12的密封结构。并且门体11的铰链结构也设置在内侧门框的一侧。
相比于现有技术中双层门冰箱，内层门200的储物空间的后侧直接与箱体12连通，本实施的方案，第二储物空间210仅通过储物胆体220设置的送风口223获取制冷气流，避免了第二储物空间210与第一储物空间的直接连通。并且由于在送风口223处增设杀菌模块230，可对从第一储物空间引入的制冷空气进行杀菌抑菌，避免第二储物间室内存放食物被细菌污染。
储物胆体220可以进一步包括：胆体主体221以及罩壳222。胆体主体221用于构造出第二储物空间210，其与箱体12相对的一侧朝向前向开口凸出；罩壳222罩扣在胆体主体221凸出的部分上。为了提高第二储物空间210的容积，胆体主体221向箱体12的方向凸出。罩壳222作为储物胆体220的后壁，从而分隔第一储物空间和第二储物空间210。
罩壳222的至少部分区域可以由金属等具有良好导热性的材料制成，从而以便第一储物空间向第二储物空间210传递冷量。
为了进一步满足第二储物空间210的制冷要求，内层门200还包括：送风组件250。送风组件250设置于送风口223处，用于促使形成从第一储物空间送向第二储物空间210的制冷气流。
罩壳222与胆体主体221的顶部形成一安装腔；并且送风口223开设在罩壳222的顶部，送风组件250设置于安装腔内并与送风口223相对。这样的安装结构，减少了送风组件250占用的空间，提高了第二储物空间210的利用率。
送风组件250可以包括风机支架251、送风风机252。其中风机支架251设置于胆体主体221的顶壁，并向上延伸。送风风机252安装于风机支架251 上，并且胆体主体221的顶壁在送风风机252下方开设有连通口。送风风机252可以受控开闭，在开启后，可从送风口223吸入空气后，通过连通口送向第二储物空间210。送风风机252可以优选使用轴流风机，其轴线平行于连通口和送风口223的延伸方向，从而节省其占用的空间。本领域技术人员可以根据需要选择其他类型的风机。
为了避免用户可从内层门200的前部通过连通口看到送风组件250的内部构造，并且提高门体11的美观性，储物胆体220还可以设置有格栅板(图中未示出)，该格栅板设置于连通口处，从而可以在视觉上遮挡送风组件250。
风机支架251使得送风风机252与胆体主体221的顶壁之间具有一定的间隔。杀菌模块230可以安装于该间隔中，也即杀菌模块230安装于送风风机252与连通口之间，使得气流在通过连通口前进行杀菌操作。
杀菌模块230可以选择使用负离子发生器，可以利用UV杀菌、过滤黏膜等技术实现类似杀菌效果。在使用负离子发生器的实施例中，杀菌模块230可以包括位于送风风机252下方且相对间隔设置的多个负离子发射头。
杀菌模块230可以跟随送风风机252开闭，例如在送风风机252开启前预先启动杀菌模块230，并在送风风机252关闭后延时关闭杀菌模块230，保证第二储物空间210的洁净。
储物胆体220还可以包括：至少一个分隔件211。分隔件211用于将第二储物空间210分隔为多个储物区域。储物区域的个数以及结构可以根据储物需求进行设置。在一些实施例中，其中至少一个储物区域可以被构造成密封抽屉212，该密封抽屉212可以用于实现干区存储、保鲜存储等。密封抽屉212可以为一个或多个，具体数量可以根据储物需求进行配置。
通过对第二储物空间210的内部构造进行改进，使得第二储物空间210形成多个储物区域，并可以进一步构造出密封抽屉212，从而大大扩展了第二储物空间210的使用灵活性。
图7是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱10向门体11提供制冷气流的示意图。箱体12内还可以设置有专门的送风风道260。该送风风道260从冰箱10的制冷室121延伸至箱体12的顶壁的前部，并在与送风口223相对的位置处形成风道口261，以使得送风风道260提供的气流至少部分被排入送风口223。风道口261排出的气流一部分可以被排入第二储物空间210，用于对第二储物空间210制冷，另外风道口261排出的气流还可以有一部分排入 第一储物空间的前部，从而均衡第一储物空间的温度。第二储物空间210的底部还可以设置有门体回风口，从而使得第二储物空间210的空气从门体回风口返回第一储物空间，形成气流循环。
在本实施例中，第二储物空间210以及后侧的第一储物空间可以均配置为冷藏储物空间。通过分区，满足不同物品的储藏需要。
上述实施例的在门体上形成储物空间的冰箱10，通过对第二储物空间210的内部构造进行改进，使得第二储物空间210形成多个储物区域，并可以进一步构造出密封抽屉212，从而大大扩展了第二储物空间210的使用灵活性。
至此，本领域技术人员应认识到，虽然本文已详尽示出和描述了本发明的多个示例性实施例，但是，在不脱离本发明精神和范围的情况下，仍可根据本发明公开的内容直接确定或推导出符合本发明原理的许多其他变型或修改。因此，本发明的范围应被理解和认定为覆盖了所有这些其他变型或修改。
