具体实施方式
图1是根据本发明一个实施例的储液装置200的示意性结构图。
储液装置200一般性地可包括储液容器210和注液器具220。其中，储液容器210用于储液。注液器具220用于向储液容器210补液。本实施例的储液容器210还可用于向耗液装置(即，消耗液体的装置，例如电解装置等，电解装置可以为用于通过电化学反应处理氧气的装置)供应液体。本实施例的液体可以为水或者溶液，但不限于此。
储液容器210上开设有用于注入液体的注液孔212。储液容器210的内部形成储液腔，注液孔212连通储液腔，以允许液体经其流入储液腔。储液容器210可以连通电解装置的电解腔312，从而向电解装置供应液体。
图1(a)示出了处于使用状态的储液装置200的结构，图1(b)示出了处于加注状态的储液装置200的结构，图1(c)示出了处于加注状态的储液装置200的另一视角的结构。其中，使用状态是指储液装置200不需要加注液体的状态，加注状态是指储液装置200可加注液体的状态。
如图1所示，注液器具220可转动地设置于储液容器210上，其具有连通注液孔212的注液流道222，注液流道222用于接收外部液体并向注液孔212输送。当需要向储液容器210补液时，用户可从注液流道222的外部执行补液操作，并向注液流道222注液，从而使注液流道222的液体向注液孔212输送。通过转动注液器具220，可使其转动至用户易于执行补液操作的合适位置。例如，通过转动可使注液器具220的端部到达靠近用户的位置，以便于用户注液。
由于储液装置200的储液容器210上设置有可转动的注液器具220，该注液器具220的注液流道222与储液容器210的注液孔212连通，因此当需要向储液容器210补液时，仅需将注液器具220转动至合适位置，通过向注液流道222注入液体，注液流道222所接收的液体即可输送至注液孔212，并进入储液容器210。基于本实施例的上述方案，可巧妙地降低储液容器210的补液难度，无需挪动或拆卸储液容器210便可轻松补液，也无需在储液容器210上安装输液管路。
并且，由于通过转动注液器具220，可调整执行补液操作的位置，因此储液容器210不需要安装在用户易于接触的位置、或者用户易于执行补液操作的位置，这大大减少了储液容器210在选择安装位置时的制约因素，可实现储液容器210的多样化灵活安装，尤其可使储液容器210适于隐藏式安装，避免占据某些特定空间，提升空间的容积率和美观度。
注液器具220与储液容器210之间的转动连接方式可以根据实际需要进行设置。
图2是图1所示的储液装置200的示意性透视图。在一些可选的实施例中，注液器具220上形成有中空转轴224，其连通注液流道222与储液容器210。中空转轴224为空心结构，且轴向两端的两个端口开放。中空转轴224的内部形成通道，该通道连通注液流道222与储液容器210的储液腔，流经注液流道222的液体可流经该通道并流入储液腔。中空转轴224自注液流道222的出液端222a向外延伸并插入注液孔212，以与注液孔212可转动地配 合。注液流道222的出液端222a可以为开口，中空转轴224自出液端222a的开口周缘向外延伸形成。
其中，“向外”是相对于注液流道222而言的，是指远离注液流道222的方向，例如向下或者向侧部。
也即是说，本实施例的中空转轴224具备双重功能，既可以提供用于输送液体的通道，又可以作为与注液孔212实现转动连接的连接部。基于此，注液器具220在转动的过程中，注液流道222与注液孔212之间始终保持连通状态，结构十分巧妙。
注液器具220与中空转轴224的旋转轴线与中空转轴224的中心轴线同轴。注液孔212的位置以及注液器具220的安装位置可以根据实际需要进行设置，例如，注液孔212可以位于储液容器210的顶部，注液器具220可以设置在储液容器210上方，此时注液器具220的旋转轴线方向与中空转轴224的旋转轴线方向可以为竖直方向。当然，注液孔212还可以变换为位于储液容器210的侧壁，注液器具220可以设置在储液容器210的一侧，此时注液器具220的旋转轴线方向与中空转轴224的旋转轴线方向可以为水平方向。
在一些可选的实施例中，注液孔212位于储液容器210的顶部。下面将以注液孔212位于储液容器210顶部的情况为例，对储液装置200的结构做进一步介绍。本领域技术人员在了解以下实施例的基础上应当完全有能力进行拓展和变换。
中空转轴224穿过注液孔212并与注液孔212的孔壁下周缘配合，以限制中空转轴224沿其旋转轴线方向相对于注液孔212的直线运动自由度。也就是说，在转动注液器具220时，通过中空转轴224与注液孔212的孔壁下周缘进行配合，会阻止中空转轴224相对于注液孔212沿竖直方向移动，使得中空转轴224在竖直方向上不会相对于注液孔212发生位移。
图3根据本发明一个实施例的储液装置200的注液器具220的示意性结构图。图4是图3所示的储液装置200的注液器具220的另一视角的示意性结构图。图5是图3所示的储液装置200的注液器具220的又一视角的示意性结构图。在一些可选的实施例中，中空转轴224的下缘周向带有外凸卡爪224c，外凸卡爪224c的上表面抵靠于注液孔212的孔壁下周缘，以实现配合。在转动注液器具220时，外凸卡爪224c的上表面始终位于注液孔212的孔壁下周缘的下方，从而限制中空转轴224沿其旋转轴线方向相对于注液 孔212的直线运动自由度。
图6是根据本发明一个实施例的储液装置200的储液容器210的示意性结构图。图7是图6所示的储液装置200的储液容器210的示意性俯视图。在一些可选的实施例中，注液孔212沿储液容器210的顶壁厚度方向贯穿设置，且其孔壁的底部区段沿径向向内延伸形成中空环状凸缘212a。本实施例的注液孔212为贯穿储液容器210的顶壁厚度方向的光孔。在竖直方向上，注液孔212可划分为第一孔段和第二孔段。其中，第二孔段为注液孔212的底部区段，其限定于中空环状凸缘212a内，第一孔段为位于底部区段上方的区段。注液孔212的底部区段的孔径小于注液孔212的上部区段的孔径，即，第二孔段的孔径小于第一孔段的孔径。
由于中空环状凸缘212a沿径向向内延伸，因此可作为托台，起定位作用。当中空转轴224插入注液孔212时，中空环状凸缘212a可支撑中空转轴224的部分区段(例如下述第一区段224a)，使中空转轴224定位插在注液孔212内。
中空转轴224包括位于中空环状凸缘212a上方的第一区段224a和插入中空环状凸缘212a的第二区段224b。本实施例中，第一区段224a插入第一孔段内并位于中空环状凸缘212a的上方，中空环状凸缘212a限制第一区段224a向下移动。第二区段224b插入第二孔段内，即插入中空环状凸缘212a的中空通道内。
外凸卡爪224c形成在第二区段224b的下缘周向。本实施例的外凸卡爪224c限制中空转轴224向上移动。外凸卡爪224c自第二区段224b的外壁沿径向向外延伸形成。
第一区段224a的轴径大于第二区段224b的轴径，且第一区段224a的下表面的周缘抵靠于中空环状凸缘212a的上表面，使第一区段224a始终处于中空环状凸缘212a的上方。
利用中空环状凸缘212a限制第一区段224a向下移动，并利用外凸卡爪224c限制中空转轴224向上移动，以定位中空转轴224和注液器具220，在注液器具220转动过程中，有利于提高注液器具220与储液容器210之间的装配稳定性，从而确保转动过程的可靠性，确保补液通道的畅通。
在一些可选的实施例中，注液孔212的孔壁沿径向向外延伸形成装配槽214，以允许外凸卡爪224c通过装配槽214由上至下地移至注液孔212的孔 壁下周缘。亦即，装配槽214相当于扩展了注液孔212，并提供了外凸卡爪224c的活动空间。当将注液器具220装配至注液孔212时，在中空转轴224由上至下地移动时，外凸卡爪224c由上至下地通过装配槽214，并移动至注液孔212的孔壁下周缘。当外凸卡爪224c移动至注液孔212的孔壁下周缘之后，转动注液器具220，外凸卡爪224c会转动至注液孔212的孔壁下方，使外凸卡爪224c的上表面与注液孔212的孔壁下表面相互抵压。
采用上述结构，注液器具220整体可以灵活便捷地进行拆卸，若注液器具220与储液容器210的二者之一出现损坏，均可以针对损坏件进行单方面的更换，这就大大降低了储液装置200的维修成本。
图8是图3所示的储液装置200的注液器具220与储液容器210的装配结构的示意性仰视图。在一些可选的实施例中，注液孔212的孔壁的下表面形成有多个凸点212b，多个凸点212b形成在同一圆周上，注液器具220的外凸卡爪224c上相应形成有供任一凸点212b插入其中以实现卡接配合的插孔224d，从而定位并悬停注液器具220，使注液器具220在转动至某些特定的角度或位置时与注液孔212的孔壁下表面锁紧并保持悬停状态，不再发生移动或转动。凸点212b与插孔224d之间可以通过过盈配合的方式实现卡接。
在一些可选的实施例中，凸点212b可以为三个，其中一个凸点212b位于装配槽214的相对侧，该凸点212b用于将注液器具220限定在使用状态。另一凸点212b与上一凸点212b之间的夹角可以为30～120°，例如可以为90°，用于将注液器具220限定在加注状态。
在一些可选的实施例中，注液流道222的底面为斜面222b，且出液端222a位于斜面222b的末端，这便于液体向出液端222a汇集，防止注液流道222内产生液体残留，并且由于斜面222b可以促使流经的液体加速流动，因此可以提高补液速率，实现快速补液。
斜面222b的周缘向上延伸形成周壁222c，注液器具220的周壁222c与斜面222b共同限定出注液流道222。
在一些可选的实施例中，储液容器210的至少一部分侧壁由透明材料制成，以形成液位显示区216。透明材料所处的部位形成透明区域。储液容器210的内部情况可通过透明区域进行展示。例如，用户可通过透明区域观察到储液容器210内的液位。
由于储液容器210的至少一部分侧壁由透明材料制成，用户可通过对透 明区域进行观察获知储液容器210的液位，以评估是否执行补液操作，因此，基于本实施例的上述方案，可使储液容器210的液位可视化，便于用户及时获知储液容器210内的液位，并在发现储液容器210内的液位不足时及时补液，从而有利于提升用户使用体验。
以上实施例的储液装置200适于安装在具有补液需求的任意设备上，例如冰箱10、香薰设备、加湿器等，但不限于此。
图9是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱10的示意性结构图。本实施例的冰箱10一般性地可包括如上述任一实施例的储液装置200。通过在冰箱10上设置储液装置200，可以对设置于冰箱10内的耗液装置补充液体，以保证耗液装置的正常运行。
图10是根据本发明一个实施例的冰箱10的内部结构的示意图，图中示意了储液装置200的一种安装方案。由于冰箱10的内部空间有限，供用户执行补液操作的空间并不充足，当采用上述实施例的储液装置200时，储液装置200可以隐藏于储物空间110的外部，当储液容器210内的液位较低需要补液时，通过转动注液器具220，使其到达靠近用户的位置，即可进行补液，这克服了储液装置200占用储物空间110、且储液容器210的补液困难等难题，为耗液装置的正常连续运行提供了良好保障，有利于推动耗液装置的推广应用，降低维护成本。
在一些可选的实施例中，冰箱10还包括氧气处理装置300，氧气处理装置300作为上述耗液装置。本实施例的氧气处理装置300为电解装置，其具有电解腔312和电极对，电解腔312用于盛装电解液，电极对用于浸于电解液，并通过电化学反应处理氧气，例如消耗氧气或者产生氧气，从而调节储物空间110的氧气含量，使储物空间110营造适宜的保鲜环境。
图11是根据本发明一个实施例的氧气处理装置300的示意性结构图。储液容器210与电解腔312相连通，用于向电解腔312补液。例如，氧气处理装置300可包括壳体310，壳体310的内部限定出电解腔312。壳体310上开设有连通电解腔312的补液口。储液容器210的底部具有出液口218，出液口218与补液口之间可以通过管路连通。由于电化学反应的进行会导致电解腔312内盛装的电解液减少，因此利用储液容器210连通电解腔312可以利用储液腔内的液体弥补电解腔312的电解液损失，避免氧气处理装置300因电解液不足而导致氧气处理功能失效。
图12是图11所示的氧气处理装置300的部分结构的示意性分解图，图中示出了壳体310和阳极部321。在一些可选的实施例中，电极对包括阳极部321和阴极部322。例如，空气中的氧气可以在阴极部322发生还原反应，即：O2+2H2O+4e-→4OH-。阴极部322用于与电源负极连接。阳极部321用于与电源正极连接。并且阳极部321与阴极部322相互间隔地设置于电解腔312内，用于在电解电压的作用下通过进行电化学反应向阴极部322提供反应物。阴极部322产生的OH-可以在阳极部321可以发生氧化反应，并生成氧气，即：4OH-→O2+2H2O+4e-。阳极部321和阴极部322可以分别为板状电极。
壳体310上可以开设有装配口，阴极部322可以设置于装配口处，以与壳体310共同限定出用于盛装电解液的电解腔312。阳极部321与阴极部322相对，并设置于电解腔312内。当需要利用氧气处理装置300消耗储物空间110的氧气含量时，使阴极部322与储物空间110直接或间接地气流连通即可。壳体310上可以开设有排气口314，用于排出阳极部321产生的氧气。当需要利用氧气处理装置300提升储物空间110的氧气含量时，使壳体310的排气口314与储物空间110直接或间接地气流连通即可。
采用上述结构，冰箱10能对储物空间110的氧气进行处理，以顺应低氧保鲜的发展理念，延长果蔬等食材的保存期限，提高冰箱10的保鲜性能。由于氧气处理装置300的阳极部321所生成的氧气可被加以利用，提升储物空间110的氧气含量，因此，本实施例的冰箱10具备较高的气调能力，能够同时营造低氧保鲜气氛和高氧保鲜气氛。
储液装置200可以高于氧气处理装置300的电解腔312设置，以依靠高度差、利用重力作用自动地向电解腔312补充液体。当然，储液装置200的高度也可以设置低于或者等于氧气处理装置300的电解腔312，此时可利用液泵装置所提供的动力抽取储液容器210内的液体、并将液体补充至电解腔312中。
氧气处理装置300的电源可以为电池，或者可以为其他供电结构。例如，当氧气处理装置300设置在冰箱10内时，冰箱10可以利用主控板向氧气处理装置300提供电源，或者可以利用冰箱10内部其他部件的供电结构向氧气处理装置300提供电源。
在一些可选的实施例中，冰箱10可以为风冷冰箱10，其具有风道盖板 120，风道盖板120的后侧形成送风风道。储液装置200可以设置在风道盖板120的后侧。例如，风道盖板120背朝储物空间110的一面可以通过向后凸出形成罩壳，储液装置200可以设置在罩壳内。风道盖板120上可以设置有遮蔽盖板，以分隔储物空间110与罩壳的内部空间。风道盖板120在与储液容器210的液位显示区216相对的部位可以设置有液位观察窗，以便用户观察储液容器210内的液位。液位观察窗可以设置在遮蔽盖板上。
当然，储液装置200的安装位置并不限于此，例如，其可以安装在压机仓内、箱体100的发泡层内等，或者还可以安装在门体(例如瓶座)上、间室的搁物架之上或者底部、抽屉之上或外部、冰箱10的侧壁内外或者顶部内外等等。
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。
