更进一步地,本发明的电解除氧装置以及具有其的冰箱,由于出气口处设置有止液阀,集气口和回气口之间连接有回气管,因此,反应仓和分离仓内的液体不易泄漏至壳体的外部,这有利于提高电解除氧装置的安全性,防止发生漏液问题。
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。
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9是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱的示意性结构图。
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的电解除氧装置10的示意性结构图。本实施例的电解除氧装置10用于安装在冰箱1上,并对冰箱1的储物空间内的氧气进行处理。例如,电解除氧装置10可以利用除氧组件100进行电化学反应,以降低储物空间内的氧气含量。在一些实施例中,电解除氧装置10也可以利用除氧组件100的电化学反应提高储物空间内的氧气含量,从而对储物空间的氧气气氛进行调节。
图2是图1所示的电解除氧装置10的示意性主视图,图中隐去了保护盖板600。电解除氧装置10一般性地可包括除氧组件100和壳体200。
其中,除氧组件100在电解电压的作用下进行电化学反应,消耗电解除氧装置10所在工作环境内的氧气。电解除氧装置10所在工作环境可以指冰箱1的储物空间。
壳体200的内部形成有反应仓210和分离仓220。反应仓210用于装配除氧组件100,并作为除氧组件100进行电化学反应的场所。即,除氧组件100装配至反应仓210,使得反应仓210作为电化学反应的发生场所。分离仓220与反应仓210相通,用于对除氧组件100进行电化学反应产生的气体进行气液分离。即,流出反应仓210的气体可以流经分离仓220,并在分离仓220内进行气液分离。分离出的液体会滞留在分离仓220内,分离出的气体则会排出至分离仓220外。
本实施例的电解除氧装置10以及具有其的冰箱1,由于电解除氧装置10的壳体200内部形成有分离仓220,该分离仓220与反应仓210相通,并用于对除氧组件100进行电化学反应所产生的气体进行气液分离,因此,本实施例的电解除氧装置10自身具备气液分离功能,这有利于减少或避免排出的气体携带液体,降低气体排放过程造成的污染。由于壳体200内集成设置有反应仓210和分离仓220,气液分离过程无需在壳体200外部进行,因此,电解除氧装置10具备结构紧凑、一体化程度高的优点。
由于反应仓210和分离仓220均集成在壳体200内,形成了一体式的产 气-分离结构,这极大地简化了整个装置的结构,减少了必要部件的数量,例如可以省略连通反应仓210与分离仓220的管路结构和密封连接结构。并且由于气液分离过程可以在壳体200的内部进行,这有利于降低液体回收过程的难度。
由于反应仓210和分离仓220形成一体式的产气-分离结构,因此可以通过成型工艺得到具有特定空间布局结构的壳体200,工序简单,相比于分体式的分离结构而言,省略了繁杂的组装过程,且保证了反应仓210和分离仓220之间的密封连通。
图3是图2所示的电解除氧装置10的另一示意性主视图,图4是图3所示的电解除氧装置10的壳体200的示意性主视图。为便于示出内部结构,图3和图4均为透视图。在一些可选的实施例中,壳体200内具有分隔件230,沿水平方向延伸并将壳体200的内部分隔出上下布置的分离仓220和反应仓210。例如,分隔件230可以为隔板。该隔板可以通过成型工艺形成在壳体200的内部。
分隔件230上开设有排气口231,以连通分离仓220和反应仓210。反应仓210内产生的气体可以通过排气口231流入分离仓220内。
本实施例的电解除氧装置10,通过在分隔件230上开设排气口231,即可连通反应仓210和分离仓220,具备结构精巧的特点。将分隔件230水平设置,使分离仓220位于分隔件230的上方,并使反应仓210位于分隔件230的下方,反应仓210内产生的气体可以依靠上浮运动顺利地流出排气口231,并进入分离仓220内。排气口231可以为圆形、椭圆形、方形、锥形或者扇形等任意形状,其大小可以为1~1000mm
2之间的任意值。
在一些可选的实施例中,分离仓220上开设有出气口221,用于允许经气液分离后的气体排出。其中,经气液分离后的气体是指流经分离仓220并被除去液体之后的气体,这些气体几乎不再携带液体。
分离仓220的内部限定出自排气口231延伸至出气口221的气流通道222。气流自排气口231向出气口221流动的路径形成气流通道222。
分离仓220的内部设置有多个挡液筋224,沿气流通道222间隔错位排布,用于从不同角度阻挡气体在气流通道222中流动,从而分离出气体所携带的液体。
由于挡液筋224间隔错位排布,因此,布置于气流通道222内的挡液筋 224形成一定的挡液形态,且为气体的流通提供一条顺畅的通路,使流经的气体能够顺利排出。流经气流通道222的气体会因被挡液筋224阻挡而导致流速降低,从而滞留在挡液筋224的表面,使得分离仓220实现气液分离。
例如,出气口221可以位于分离仓220的顶壁上。排气口231可以为一个,可以与出气口221在水平方向上间隔设置,使得排气口231与出气口221之间的气流通道222具有水平延伸的水平区段。在另一些实施例中,排气口231也可以为多个,并在分隔件230上间隔分布,这有利于提高反应仓210的排气速率。在又一些实施例中,除氧组件100可以为多个,每一除氧组件100对应设置有一排气口231。
图5是图3所示的电解除氧装置10的壳体200的示意性俯视图。图5也为透视图。在相邻挡液筋224中,一挡液筋224自分离仓220的后壁229向前延伸且与分离仓220的前壁228具有间隙,另一挡液筋224自分离仓220的前壁228向后延伸且与分离仓220的后壁229具有间隙。如此设置,可以避免挡液筋224完全地遮蔽气流通道222,确保气流通道222保持畅通状态。
需要说明的是,“前”“后”“顶”“底”“左”“右”等指示方向或位置关系的术语是基于使用状态下的壳体200的方向或位置关系,这仅仅是为了便于描述,而不是指示或暗示所描述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。
向前延伸的挡液筋224以及向后延伸的挡液筋224分别朝流经水平区段的气体的流动方向倾斜设置。即,本实施例的挡液筋224所在平面并未平行于分离仓220的前后延伸方向。通过使挡液筋224朝流经水平区段的气体的流动方向倾斜设置,可以降低挡液筋224对气体流速的影响,同时降低气体流经挡液筋224时的噪声。
向前延伸的挡液筋224的末端位于与之相邻的向后延伸的挡液筋224的末端的前侧。向后延伸的挡液筋224的末端位于与之相邻的向前延伸的挡液筋224的末端的后侧。
也就是说,从向前延伸的挡液筋224与分离仓220的前壁228之间的间隙流出的气流会流至与之相邻的向后延伸的挡液筋224上,而从向后延伸的挡液筋224与分离仓220的后壁229之间的间隙流出的气流会流至与之相邻的向前延伸的挡液筋224上,这使得流经气流通道222的气体能够与挡液筋224进行充分地接触,从而有利于提高气液分离效果。
在一些可选的实施例中,每一挡液筋224上形成有多个微孔,用于允许流经的气体通过且阻止气体携带的液体通过。在了解本实施例的基础上,本领域技术人员应当易于根据实际需要设置微孔的孔径,例如,当气体所携带的液体为水溶液时,只要保证孔径大小小于蒸汽水分子直径即可。
由于分离仓220内设置有多个沿气流通道222间隔错位排布的挡液筋224,且每一挡液筋224上形成有多个微孔,因此,多个挡液筋224在进行气液分离的同时,并不会对气体的流动速率产生明显影响,这有利于保证电解除氧装置10的气体排放速率。
挡液筋224可以呈具有一定厚度的平板状或者薄片状,直立于分离仓220内,挡液筋224的顶端和底端分别与分离仓220的顶壁和底壁相接。微孔可以沿每一挡液筋224的板面间隔均匀分布,使得挡液筋224呈蜂窝状。相邻挡液筋224之间的间距可以为10~50mm。在一些实施例中,挡液筋224在水平面的投影也可以为梯形结构。
在一些可选的实施例中,出气口221设置于分离仓220的顶壁上,例如可以设置于分离仓220的顶壁的中间区段。分离仓220上还开设有集气口225和回气口226,设置于出气口221的横向两侧,并分别设置于出气口221的下游和上游。电解除氧装置10还包括回气管400,自集气口225延伸至回气口226,并形成U型折弯形状。
“上游”和“下游”均是相对于气体的流动路径而言的,集气口225和回气口226分别设置于出气口221的下游和上游是指,从回气口226流入气流通道222的气体会在流经气流通道222之后流向出气口221,未从出气口221排出的气体可以继续流动并流至集气口225,并在依次流经回气管400和回气口226之后,再次流入气流通道222。
在一些实施例中,集气口225可以设置于分离仓220的顶壁的右端,回气口226可以设置于分离仓220的顶壁的左端。回气管400大致可以为正立的U形折弯管,自集气口225向下延伸至壳体200的底部右侧,然后水平向左延伸至壳体200的底部左侧,再向上延伸至回气口226。U形折弯管可以由橡胶或者其他耐酸碱腐蚀的材料制成。
在一些可选的实施例中,电解除氧装置10还可以进一步地包括止液阀500,设置于出气口221处,用于阻止流经气体所携带的液体通过。止液阀500仅能允许纯气体通过,气体所携带的液体会被阻挡在止液阀500处,并 依靠自身重力回流至分离仓220内。止液阀500可以为手动式,或者可以为电动式。
由于出气口221处设置有止液阀500,集气口225和回气口226之间连接有回气管400,因此,反应仓210和分离仓220内的液体不易泄漏至壳体200的外部,这有利于提高电解除氧装置10的安全性,防止发生漏液问题。
分隔件230的上表面通过向上凸出形成沿水平方向凸出距离渐增或渐减的斜坡235,使得分离出的液体沿分隔件230的上表面向斜坡235的末端流动;且分隔件230上还开设有回液口232,位于斜坡235的末端,用于使沿分隔件230上表面流动的液体回流至反应仓210。使分隔件230的上表面形成斜坡235形状,可使自挡液筋224上滴落的液体顺势向下流动,起到聚集汇流的作用。
通过在分隔件230上开设有回液口232,沿分隔件230的上表面向下流动的液体可以通过回液口232回流至反应仓210,因此,从排气口231流出的气体所携带的液体能够得到回收再利用,这有利于提高电解除氧装置10的资源利用率。
在一些可选的实施例中,分隔件230的上表面与水平方向的夹角可以为0~60°内的任意值,例如可以为15°、30°或者45°。在另一些实施例中,排气口231可以倾斜设置,与水平方向的夹角可以为0~90°内的任意值,例如可以为15°、30°、45°或者60°,当气体流经排气口231时,排气口231的内壁会起到阻挡作用,使得气体与其携带的部分液体得到初步分离。
本实施例中,分隔件230的上表面形成一段连续的斜坡235,分隔件230的上表面可以形成向右且向下倾斜的斜坡235,回液口232可以位于分隔件230的右端。在另一些可选的实施例中,分隔件230的上表面可以形成两段斜坡235,其中一斜坡235向右且向下倾斜,另一斜坡235向左且向下倾斜,回液口232可以位于两斜坡235的交界处。
在一些可选的实施例中,壳体200内还限定出储液仓250,用于盛装液体,并与反应仓210相通,以向反应仓210补液。例如,壳体200内还设置有沿纵向延伸设置的分隔件230,在壳体200的内部分隔出位于反应仓210和分离仓220横向一侧的储液仓250。该纵向延伸的分隔件230上可以开设有连通口,用于连通反应仓210和储液仓250。
由于反应仓210和储液仓250均集成在壳体200内,形成了一体式的补 液-耗液结构,这极大地简化了整个装置的结构,减少了必要部件的数量,例如可以省略连通储液仓250与反应仓210的管路结构。并且由于补液过程可以在壳体200的内部进行,这有利于提高补液过程的安全性。储液仓250的顶部开设有与壳体200的外部环境相连通的补液口251,以允许补液。例如,补液口251可以与一水箱相连通。
图6是根据本发明一个实施例的电解除氧装置10的液位开关300的示意性结构图,图7是图6所示的电解除氧装置10的液位开关300的示意性分解图,图8是图6所示的电解除氧装置10的液位开关300的示意性透视图。
在一些可选的实施例中,电解除氧装置10还可以进一步地包括液位开关300,其具有开关本体320,设置于储液仓250内,并与补液口251对应设置,用于根据储液仓250内的液位移动,从而打开或封闭补液口251。
例如,开关本体320可以在储液仓250内的液位降至预设液位值以下时打开补液口251,使得储液仓250内的液体可以流经补液口251,并流至反应仓210。又如,开关本体320还可以在储液仓250内的液位升至预设液位值以上时封闭补液口251,从而使得储液仓250内的液体无法流经补液口251。
预设液位值可以根据反应仓210内的安全液位值进行设置。本实施例中,储液仓250和反应仓210形成连通器,预设液位值等于安全液位值。
液位开关300还包括浮子320,与开关本体310固定连接或与开关本体310为一体件,用于在储液仓250内通过绕轴上浮或下沉从而带动开关本体310移动。也就是说,开关本体310由浮子320进行“驱动”,浮子320进行移动所需的动力由其在储液仓250内所受的浮力决定。
例如,浮子320的一部分通过浸于液体,从而使浮子320受到液体的浮力。当储液仓250内的液位发生变化时,浮子320所受的浮力也会发生变化,从而使得浮子320所受的浮力与重力的合力发生变化。例如,当储液仓250内的液位降低时,浮子320所受的浮力会减小,若浮子320所受的浮力与重力的合力方向向下,则会导致浮子320向下运动。反之,则会导致浮子320向上运动。浮子320可以沿竖直方向上升或下降,或者可以沿曲线上升或下降。
在一些可选的实施例中,浮子320可绕轴转动地设置。即,本实施例的 浮子320并非沿直线做升降运动,而是以绕轴转动的方式上升或下降,如此设计,仅需要使浮子320与某一固定轴进行可枢转地连接即可,无需安装尺寸精度较高的导向部件,具备结构精巧、装配过程简单、装置可靠性好的优点。
由于浮子320可绕轴转动地设置,运动轨迹清晰明确,这使得本实施例的浮子320和开关本体310易于沿清晰明确的运动轨迹移动,从而提高液位开关300的可靠性,减少或避免了因浮子320自由运动而带来密封不严等问题。
液位开关300还可以进一步地包括旋转轴340和连接件330。
其中,旋转轴340固定于储液仓。例如,旋转轴340可以与储液仓的容器内壁固定连接。
连接件330与浮子320固定连接或与浮子320为一体件,其上形成有轴孔341,以供旋转轴340插入其中且可转动地配合从而实现可转动地连接。也就是说,连接件330将旋转轴340与浮子320装配成一个有机的整体,使得浮子320可绕旋转轴340转动。
通过在连接件330上开设轴孔341,并使旋转轴340与轴孔341可转动地配合,即可将浮子320可绕轴转动地装配至旋转轴340,结构精妙,工序简单。
开关本体310呈杆状。连接件330上还形成有安装孔342,以供开关本体310的一部分插入其中从而实现固定装配。也就是说,开关本体310的一部分通过与连接件330固定装配,从而间接地与浮子320实现固定连接。例如,上述开关本体310的一部分可与连接件330的安装孔342通过过盈配合的方式进行装配。
开关本体310和浮子320位于旋转轴340的同侧。即,开关本体310位于旋转轴340与浮子320之间,这是使开关本体310根据储液仓内部空间的液位高度做出与浮子320“同向运动”的关键,可以获得更大的“力臂比值”。
本实施例中,旋转轴340的中心轴线沿水平方向延伸,且垂直于浮子320的中央纵向竖直对称面。例如,对于圆柱形浮子320而言,当浮子320的两个底面321沿水平方向相对设置时,浮子320的中央纵向竖直对称面即为浮子320的沿竖直方向延伸的纵向中心截面。在开关本体310封闭补液口251的情况下,安装孔342的中心轴线沿竖直方向延伸,且平行于浮子320的中 央纵向竖直中心线,其中,浮子320的中央纵向竖直中心线即为浮子320的沿竖直方向延伸的纵向中心截面的纵向中心线。“横”“纵”等方位性词语均是相对于液位开关300的实际使用状态而言的,纵向大致为竖直方向。
在一些可选的实施例中,浮子320呈空心柱状。本实施例的浮子320的圆柱体为空腔结构,可以进一步提升浮力(整体密度小于液体密度)。浮子320的中心轴线与轴孔341的中心轴线平行。其中,浮子320的中心轴线分别与两个底面321的中心共线。由于轴孔341的中心轴线沿水平方向延伸,因此,浮子320的中心轴线也沿水平方向延伸,且浮子320的两个底面321沿水平方向相对设置。
在一些可选的实施例中,连接件330为悬臂,自浮子320的柱体侧面322的上侧部区段倾斜向外且向上延伸形成。其中,“向外”是指沿柱体侧面322的径向向外。
开关本体310为杆状塞盖,其具有装配部311以及封堵部312。其中装配部311为杆,并固定装配于安装孔342。封堵部312为塞盖,并连接于装配部311的顶部,用于打开或封闭补液口251。塞盖可以为圆柱形,其上表面为平面状。与传统锥形头塞与水嘴的配合结构相比,本实施例的塞盖与下环形凸缘的配合机构具有位置容错率高的优点,塞盖无需与下环形凸缘的出液口进行精准对齐,只要塞盖的上表面能够覆盖锥形水嘴口即可。本实施例的塞盖与杆为一体件。
安装孔342的内壁的中部区段沿径向向内延伸形成有中部环形凸缘342a。装配部311的主体杆311c的杆径与中部环形凸缘342a的孔径相同,以便插入中部环形凸缘342a所限定的孔内。装配部311还具有从其主体杆311c沿径向向外延伸的上环形凸台311a和下环形凸台311b,分别位于中部环形凸缘342a的上方和下方,以限制开关本体310相对于安装孔342的运动自由度。
通过对安装孔342的孔结构和开关本体310的杆结构和塞结构进行设计,可以提高开关本体310与安装孔342之间通过固定装配所得到整体结构的结构稳定性。
在一些可选的实施例中,开关本体310由耐酸耐碱的弹性材料制成,例如三元乙丙橡胶或者氟橡胶等,依靠自身弹性变形挤压与之密封配合的补液口251,从而实现密封。旋转轴340由耐酸耐碱的材料制成,例如镀铬的金 属材料、陶瓷材料或者塑料材料等。浮子320可以由聚四氟乙烯或者聚己二酰丁二胺等耐酸耐碱材料制成。
除氧组件100一般性地可包括阳极部和阴极部。在通电情况下,阴极部用于通过电化学反应消耗氧气。例如,空气中的氧气可以在阴极部处发生还原反应,即:O
2+2H
2O+4e
-→4OH
-。阴极部产生的OH
-可以在阳极部处发生氧化反应,并生成氧气,即:4OH
-→O
2+2H
2O+4e
-。分离出液体后的氧气可以通过壳体200上的出气口221排出。由于本实施例的电化学反应消耗水,因此,储液仓250内盛装的液体为水。阳极部可以为阳极电极,例如镍网或者钛网,阴极部可以为阴极电极,例如含有银和二氧化锰的催化膜。
在一些可选的实施例中,壳体200在反应仓210的前壁上开设有安装口,阴极部可以设置于安装口处,以与反应仓210共同限定出用于盛装电解液的反应空间。阳极部可以与阴极部相互间隔地设置于反应空间内。电解除氧装置10还可以进一步地包括保护盖板600,罩设在壳体200的反应仓210和分离仓220的前表面,起到保护阴极部不受外力破坏的作用。保护盖板600上可以开设有通气孔,以允许气体交换。通气孔的孔壁上可以形成有上檐结构。保护盖板600可以由塑料或金属等坚固材料制成。例如,可以采用嵌件(包胶)等工艺将保护盖板封装至壳体200,或者采用超声波摩擦焊等工艺进行封装,然后再采用树脂胶再次密封,保证整个装置灌液后不会有任何漏液。
图9是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱1的示意性结构图。冰箱1一般性地可包括箱体20以及如以上任一实施例的电解除氧装置10。箱体20的内部限定出储物空间。电解除氧装置10安装于箱体20,并用于消耗储物空间内的氧气,或者用于向储物空间供应氧气。例如,储物空间可以为多个,阴极部可以与某一储物空间气流连通,以降低该储物空间内的氧气含量,阳极部可以与另一储物空间气流连通,以提高该储物空间内的氧气含量。
本实施例的冰箱1为具备低温存储功能的电器设备,既包括狭义的冰箱1,也包括冷柜、储藏柜以及其他冷藏冷冻装置。本实施例的冰箱1,能够快速营造低氧保鲜环境,抑制果蔬等食材的呼吸作用,减缓生理代谢,延长保鲜时间,也能够快速营造高氧保鲜环境,给肉类、菌菇类等食材提供高氧气调保鲜气氛。
本发明的电解除氧装置10以及具有其的冰箱1,由于电解除氧装置10的壳体200内部形成有分离仓220,该分离仓220与反应仓210相通,并用 于对除氧组件100进行电化学反应时产生的气体进行气液分离,因此,本发明的电解除氧装置10的壳体200具备气液分离功能,这有利于减少或避免排出的气体携带液体,降低气体排放过程造成的污染。由于壳体200内集成设置有反应仓210和分离仓220,气液分离过程无需在壳体200外部进行,因此,电解除氧装置10具备结构紧凑、一体化程度高的优点。
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。
