Detailed ways

FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a refrigerator 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The refrigerator 10 may generally include a box body 200 and an air induction mechanism 300 .

A storage space 220 is formed inside the box body 200 . The storage space 220 may refer to a space for low-temperature preservation of ingredients or other items, such as a refrigerated space, or may refer to a space for ripening food to be cooked (such as meat), such as a ripening space. A plurality of storage compartments 210 may be formed inside the box body 200 , and each storage compartment 210 forms a storage space 220 , and the above-mentioned refrigerated space or ripening space may be limited in any storage compartment 210 . For example, the storage compartment 210 can be directly used as a refrigerated space or an aging space. In some embodiments, the refrigerator 10 can further include a storage container 700, which is arranged in the storage compartment 210. The inside of the storage container 700 can be As a refrigerated space or aging space.

Fig. 2 is a schematic top view of the storage container 700 of the refrigerator 10 according to one embodiment of the present invention. For ease of illustration, FIG. 2 and the following figures are perspective views. The following embodiments will take the case where the storage space 220 is located inside the storage container 700 as an example to further introduce the structure of the refrigerator 10 .

Fig. 3 is a schematic top view of the air induction mechanism 300 of the refrigerator 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The air induction mechanism 300 is disposed in the storage space 220 to divide the storage space 220 into a first storage area 222 and a second storage area 224 . That is to say, the air induction mechanism 300 plays a role of separation, and it is arranged inside the storage space 220 to divide the storage space 220 into a first storage area 222 and a second storage area 224 which are not connected. The relative positions of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 can be arranged according to actual use requirements, for example, the two can be arranged side by side along the lateral direction of the box body 200, or can be side by side along the depth direction of the box body 200 arrangement, or may be arranged along the longitudinal direction of the box body 200. By adjusting the installation direction and installation position of the air induction mechanism 300, the relative positions of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 can be adjusted accordingly.

The inside of the air induction mechanism 300 defines a first air induction channel 310 and a second air induction channel 320 for circulating air flow, that is, the air induction mechanism 300 also defines a first air induction channel while separating the storage space 220 . The air duct 310 and the second air introduction duct 320.

The air induction mechanism 300 has a first air outlet part 330 and a second air outlet part 340 . Wherein, the first air outlet portion 330 faces the first storage area 222 and communicates with the first air-introducing air duct 310 , and is configured to guide the airflow flowing through the first air-introducing air duct 310 to the first storage area 222 . The second air outlet portion 340 faces the second storage area 224 and communicates with the second air induction channel 320 , and is configured to guide the air flow passing through the second air introduction channel 320 to the second storage area 224 .

Since the storage space 220 is provided with an air induction mechanism 300, while the storage space 220 is divided into the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 by the air induction mechanism 300, it also defines a The storage area 222 provides the first air induction duct 310 and the first air outlet portion 330 for providing airflow, and the second air induction duct 320 and the second air outlet portion 340 for providing airflow to the second storage area 224 , Therefore, the air induction mechanism 300 can provide different airflows for the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224, which enables the refrigerator 10 to provide storage areas suitable for storing different foods in the same storage space 220, and Flexible adjustment of the air flow rate in each storage area.

The solution of this embodiment is especially suitable for the case where the storage space 220 is an aging space. The aging of different types of meat often needs to be carried out at a specific air flow rate, and sometimes the air flow rates required for different aging stages of the same type of meat are not the same. Therefore, based on the solution of this embodiment, the refrigerator 10 can provide a suitable ripening atmosphere for the ripening of different kinds of meat or the same kind of meat at different ripening stages.

The airflow sources of the first air induction channel 310 and the second air induction channel 320 may be the same or different. For example, the refrigerator 10 can be provided with draft fans for the first draft duct 310 and the second draft duct 320 respectively, and by adjusting the rotating speed of the draft fans, the first draft duct 310 and the second draft duct can be adjusted respectively. The air flow rate of the channel 320.

It should be emphasized that the number of storage areas in the storage space 220 can be increased according to actual needs. Correspondingly, the number and installation positions of the air induction mechanism 300 can also be adjusted and changed, which should fall into the scope of the present invention. protected range. Taking the case where there are two storage areas and they are arranged side by side along the lateral direction of the box body 200 as an example, the structure of the refrigerator 10 will be further introduced. Those skilled in the art will understand the following embodiments on the basis of It should be fully capable of expansion, and this disclosure will not show them one by one.

Both storage areas are at the same height. Since the two storage areas are horizontally arranged side by side, it is convenient for the user to perform operations of picking and placing ingredients.

In some optional embodiments, the air induction mechanism 300 is movable and configured to adjust the size of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 through movement. For example, the air induction mechanism 300 can increase the size of the first storage area 222 and reduce the size of the second storage area 224 by moving, or can reduce the size of the first storage area 222 and increase the size of the second storage area. The size of the object area 224.

Since the air induction mechanism 300 is movably arranged and configured to adjust the size of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 by moving, each storage area can flexibly adjust the size of the space according to actual needs to meet Diversified storage requirements are conducive to further improving the user experience.

For example, when aging is required in two storage areas at the same time, there may be situations where the two meats are of different sizes. If the actual size of a certain type of meat exceeds the space of the storage area where it is located, the aging process will not proceed smoothly, or the user needs to manually decompose the oversized meat and age it in batches, which will lead to aging The process is complicated and the user experience is not good. Based on the solution of this embodiment, the refrigerator 10 can solve the problem that the space of a fixed size cannot meet the actual storage requirements of meat products.

In some optional embodiments, an air supply duct 230 located at the rear side of the storage space 220 is also formed in the box body 200, and the outlet of the air supply duct 230 forms a plurality of sets of air supply ports 238, which are respectively configured to be connected with the air induction The multiple working positions of the mechanism 300 are in one-to-one correspondence. The air supply duct 230 is configured to provide airflow to the first air intake duct 310 and the second intake air duct 320 . The air supply duct 230 may refer to an air duct formed inside the box body 200 and used for delivering heat exchanging airflow to the storage space 220 . Or the air supply duct 230 may refer to the air duct formed inside the storage compartment 210 and used to deliver the internal circulating airflow to the storage space 220, wherein the air supply duct 230 and the storage space 220 may be formed in the storage space 220 respectively. Inside the container 700.

In this embodiment, the air induction mechanism 300 can adjust the space size of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 by changing the working position. Each working position corresponds to a group of air supply openings 238 so as to guide the airflow flowing through the air supply duct 230 to the first air introduction duct 310 and the second air introduction duct 320 through the air supply openings 238 .

There are two air outlets 238 in each group, which are respectively configured to communicate with the first air duct 310 and the second air duct 320 when the air induction mechanism 300 moves to a working position corresponding to each group of air outlets 238 . That is to say, the air induction mechanism 300 can be provided with several specific working positions, each of which is provided with two air supply ports 238, so that the air induction mechanism 300 can be smoothly connected to the air supply when it moves to the working position. The air duct 230 communicates with the first air introduction duct 310 and communicates with the air delivery duct 230 and the second air introduction duct 320 .

With the above structure, the refrigerator 10 of this embodiment can adjust the space size of each storage area without affecting the air supply effect of each storage area. The structure is novel and solves the problem of insufficient space utilization faced by the traditional refrigerator 10 issues of flexibility.

In some further embodiments, the refrigerator 10 may further include an air duct plate 400 disposed at the rear side of the storage space 220 to separate the storage space 220 and the air supply duct 230 arranged in front and behind. In this embodiment, both the air supply duct 230 and the storage space 220 are located inside the storage container 700 , and the air supply duct 230 is disposed behind the storage space 220 .

The air outlet 238 is opened on the air channel plate 400 . The air outlets 238 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction on the air channel plate 400 . Correspondingly, the air-inducing mechanism 300 is movably arranged in the horizontal direction. The air induction mechanism 300 can serve as a side wall of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 respectively. The airflow from the air supply duct 230 is blown inward from the side walls of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 respectively under the guidance of the first air introduction duct 310 and the second air introduction duct 320 , This is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the space airflow in the storage area.

Of course, when the air duct 230 is used as an air duct formed inside the storage compartment 210 and used to deliver the internal circulating airflow to the storage space 220 , the inside of the box body 200 may further be formed with an air duct for supplying air to the storage space 220 . The two air ducts can function simultaneously to adjust the temperature and air flow velocity of the storage space 220 .

The air duct plate 400 is used to separate the air supply duct 230 and the storage space 220, and a plurality of groups of air supply ports 238 corresponding to the working positions of the air induction mechanism 300 are set on the air duct plate 400, so as not to affect each storage space. Adjusting the space size of each storage area under the condition of the air supply effect of the storage area provides a structural basis. Each group of air outlets 238 is used to respectively provide airflow to the first air induction channel 310 and the second air introduction air channel 320 , which simplifies the airflow supply structure of each storage area of the refrigerator 10 .

Fig. 4 is an assembly schematic diagram of the storage container 700 of the refrigerator 10 and the air induction mechanism 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 5 is another assembly of the storage container 700 of the refrigerator 10 shown in Fig. 4 and the air induction mechanism 300 Schematic diagram, FIG. 6 is another schematic diagram of assembly of the storage container 700 and the air induction mechanism 300 of the refrigerator 10 shown in FIG. 4 .

4 to 6 respectively show the assembly structure between the air induction mechanism 300 and the storage container 700 in different working positions, and Fig. 4(a), Fig. 5(a) and Fig. 6(a) are top views respectively, Figure 4(b), Figure 5(b) and Figure 6(b) are front views respectively. Taking the lateral width L of the air duct plate 400 as a reference, a group of air supply ports 238 can be respectively opened at L/2, L/4 and 3L/8 of the air duct plate 400 . When the air induction mechanism 300 is in the working position as shown in FIG. 4 , the space sizes of the first storage area 222 and the second storage area 224 are the same. When the air induction mechanism 300 is in the working position as shown in FIG. 5 , the volume of the first storage area 222 is smaller than that of the second storage area 224 . When the air induction mechanism 300 is in the working position as shown in FIG. 6 , the volume of the first storage area 222 is smaller than that of the second storage area 224 .

4 to 6 are only examples of the assembly structure between the air-inducing mechanism 300 and the storage container 700 in several working positions, but should not be regarded as limiting the working positions of the air-inducing mechanism 300 . Of course, the working position of the air induction mechanism 300 can be increased or decreased, or changed, as long as the positions and numbers of the air outlet 238 , the mounting hole 420 and the engaging groove 236 are adjusted accordingly.

In some optional embodiments, the air channel plate 400 is further provided with a plurality of installation holes 420 , which are respectively located between each group of two air supply ports 238 . Each working position of the air-inducing mechanism 300 is respectively provided with a corresponding installation hole 420 for assembling the air-inducing mechanism 300 so that the air-inducing mechanism 300 is fixed at the working position.

The air induction mechanism 300 also includes a partition plate 350 and a clip 360 .

Wherein, the plate surface of the partition plate 350 is extended along the longitudinal direction to separate the first air-inducing air channel 310 and the second air-inducing air channel 320 . The partition plate 350 may be disposed on the front side of the corresponding installation hole 420 . The first air introduction channel 310 is located between the first air outlet portion 330 and the partition plate 350 , and the second air introduction channel 320 is located between the second air outlet portion 340 and the partition plate 350 .

The clip 360 extends backward from the rear end of the partition plate 350 and extends into the air supply duct 230 after passing through the installation hole 420, and separates the air supply duct 230 into the first sub-air duct 232 and the second sub-air duct. Road 234. In this embodiment, the clamping member 360 is fixedly connected to the partition plate 350 or integrated with the partition plate 350 . The shape of the clamping member 360 is adapted to the diameter of the installation hole 420 , so that the clamping member 360 is assembled to the installation hole 420 to indirectly fix the partition plate 350 . When the air induction mechanism 300 needs to be moved, the clamping member 360 can be moved out of the current mounting hole 420 and inserted into another mounting hole 420 , the moving process is very simple.

In this embodiment, the clamping member 360 may be in the shape of a plate, and its plate surface extends longitudinally to separate the first sub-air channel 232 and the second sub-air channel 234 that are not connected. At this time, the air sources of the first air-introducing duct 310 and the second air-introducing duct 320 are different, which can reduce or avoid the turbulent air flow phenomenon, and also facilitate the separate regulation of the airflow velocity of the two storage areas. Correspondingly, the mounting hole 420 may be a long hole for inserting the plate-shaped engaging member 360 therein.

It should be noted that terms such as "front", "rear", "horizontal" and "longitudinal" indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, which are for convenience of description only, and do not indicate or imply The described devices or elements must have a certain orientation, be constructed and operate in a certain orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the invention.

In some optional embodiments, the air duct rear wall of the air supply duct 230 is provided with a plurality of engaging grooves 236, which are respectively arranged opposite to the mounting holes 420, and are configured for inserting the engaging parts 360 into them to realize snap-fit. That is to say, the clamping member 360 can be fixed by being fitted into the installation hole 420 and inserted into the clamping groove 236 . The fastening member 360 is fixed in a double fixing manner, which can improve the assembly stability of the air induction mechanism 300 and make it firmly fixed at each working position.

For example, when the air supply duct 230 is formed inside the storage container 700 and is used to deliver the internal circulating airflow to the storage space 220 of the storage container 700, the air passage rear wall of the air supply duct 230 may refer to the storage container 700. the rear wall of the container. As another example, when the air supply duct 230 is formed inside the storage compartment 210 and is used to deliver the internal circulating airflow to the storage space 220, the rear wall of the air duct 230 may refer to the compartment of the storage compartment 210. Chamber back wall.

By opening the installation hole 420 on the air channel plate 400, and making the clip 360 of the air induction mechanism 300 snap into the clip groove 236 after penetrating the installation hole 420, the clipping and fixing of the air induction mechanism 300 can be completed, so that The air induction mechanism 300 can be moved to a fixed working position corresponding to each group of air outlets 238, and the space adjustment process of each storage area is very simple.

In some embodiments, the refrigerator 10 can automatically move the air induction mechanism 300 , for example, the refrigerator 10 can further include a driving mechanism to provide driving force to the air induction mechanism 300 . The driving mechanism may include a motor and a transmission mechanism, such as a rack and pinion mechanism and the like. For example, the clamping piece 360 is telescopically connected to the partition plate 350, and the clamping piece 360 can at least partially retract into the partition plate 350. When the working position of the air induction mechanism 300 needs to be changed, the driving mechanism can first drive The clamping member 360 moves forward and retracts into the partition plate 350 , so that the clamping member 360 disengages from the clamping slot 236 and the installation hole 420 , and then the driving mechanism can drive the air induction mechanism 300 to translate and adjust the working position.

In some further embodiments, the refrigerator 10 further includes a first airflow actuating device 500 and a second airflow actuating device 600 .

The second air flow actuating device 600 is disposed in the second sub-air channel 234 and is configured to promote the formation of an air flow sequentially flowing through the second sub-air channel 234 , the second air-introducing air channel 320 and the second air outlet portion 340 . That is to say, the first air flow actuating device 500 is used to provide gas flow power for the first storage area 222 , and the second air flow actuating device 600 is used to provide gas flow power for the second storage area 224 .
