- the moisturizing drawer with the function of preserving food in the related art can only be applied to the cold storage room of the refrigerator. If the existing moisturizing drawer is directly applied to the freezing room, frost will occur on the top of the moisturizing drawer.
- an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a refrigerator, including an inner liner 10 and a drawer assembly.
- the inner liner 10 and the drawer assembly provided in this embodiment can be used in a freezer compartment to meet the user's needs for moisturizing and preserving the food in the freezer compartment.
- the inner liner 10 and the drawer assembly provided in this embodiment are not limited to the freezer compartment, and can also be applied to a refrigeration compartment or a variable temperature compartment.
- the inner liner 10 is constructed with at least a plurality of air vents; a drawer assembly is arranged in the inner liner 10, the drawer assembly includes a drawer cover 30 and a drawer body 20 that are slidably connected, the drawer cover 30 is provided with a moisture permeable assembly 40, and the top of the drawer assembly is constructed with a first ventilation portion 100 and a second ventilation portion 200 that are relatively arranged; the air flow blown out from at least one air vent flows into the drawer body 20 through the first ventilation portion 100 and flows out from the second ventilation portion 200, wherein the air flow flowing into the drawer body 20 forms an auxiliary air path on the lower surface of the drawer cover 30, and the auxiliary air path is used to prevent frost on the lower surface of the moisture permeable assembly 40.
- the inner wall of the inner liner 10 is provided with an air supply duct, and a main fan is provided in the air supply duct.
- the air flow blown by the main fan flows through the air supply duct and blows out from two air outlets into the room to play a cooling role.
- the air flow blown out of the air outlet of the inner liner 10 is the same in terms of temperature and humidity. In this article, the air outlets are distinguished and named only because of their different locations and different effects, and for the convenience of description.
- the drawer assembly is arranged in the inner container 10, and is slidably connected to the drawer body 20 through the drawer cover 30.
- the drawer cover is arranged on the drawer body 20, so that a relatively closed space is formed inside the drawer. In this way, it is possible to prevent the airflow blown out of the air outlet from directly entering the drawer and acting on the surface of the food, causing serious moisture loss of the food, and affecting the edible taste and quality of the food.
- the drawer assembly including the drawer cover 30 can maintain the food in the drawer in a high humidity environment, but if the humidity exceeds the preset value, it will not only affect the taste and quality of the food in the drawer, but also reduce the freezing and refrigeration effect of the food. Therefore, the drawer cover 30 with the moisture permeable component 40 provided in this embodiment can not only achieve the purpose of covering the drawer to form a closed space, but also adjust the humidity of the environment in the drawer through the moisture permeable component 40, ensuring that the food in the drawer is in a humidity environment that can take into account both the preservation and freezing effects.
- the first ventilation part 100 and the second ventilation part 200 are constructed at the top of the drawer assembly, so that the airflow blown out of the air outlet can flow through the inside of the drawer body 20. Based on the first ventilation part 100 and the second ventilation part 200 being located at the top of the drawer assembly, the airflow flowing into the drawer body 20 flows along the lower surface of the drawer cover 30 to form an auxiliary air path, i.e., a parallel flow parallel to the drawer cover 30.
- the airflow flows through the lower surface of the drawer cover 30, and the water vapor located on the lower surface of the moisture permeable component 40 can be taken away, so as to avoid the condensation of water vapor on the lower surface of the moisture permeable component 40, i.e., frost, which affects the moisture permeability function of the moisture permeable component 40, and can also accelerate the humidity in the drawer to prevent the humidity from being too high.
- the auxiliary air path is parallel to the lower surface of the drawer cover 30, and basically does not contact the food inside the drawer body 20, thereby avoiding the direct blowing of cold air on the food, and ensuring the freshness preservation effect of the food.
- the air flow blown out from at least one air outlet flows through the first ventilation part 100 into the drawer body 20, and flows out from the second ventilation part 200 can be explained as follows, the first ventilation part 100 is the air inlet, and the second ventilation part 200 is the air outlet.
- the first ventilation part 100 can be located at the back of the drawer assembly (i.e., the side close to the air outlet), but the first ventilation part 100 can also be located at the front of the drawer assembly.
- the second ventilation part 200 is located at the front of the drawer assembly; conversely, in the case where the first ventilation part 100 is located at the front of the drawer assembly, the second ventilation part 200 is located at the back of the drawer assembly.
- the air outlet has a large air volume and a fast wind speed.
- the second ventilation part 200 is an air outlet. The airflow blown out of the air outlet forms a negative pressure area at the second ventilation part 200, so that the cold air can flow through the lower surface of the drawer cover 30 at a faster speed and flow out from the second ventilation part 200. In addition, the humidity reduction in the drawer can also be accelerated.
- the first ventilation part 100 is located at the back of the drawer assembly, that is, the back of the drawer assembly is inlet, and the front end is out.
- the airflow blown out of the air outlet can flow directly into the drawer through the first ventilation part 100, and then blown out from the second ventilation part 200.
- the airflow velocity blown out from the air outlet is fast, and the airflow can flow out from the second ventilation part 200 quickly, avoiding the cold air from blowing directly to the surface of the food in the drawer, affecting the fresh-keeping effect of the food.
- the moisture permeable component 40 includes a moisture permeable membrane 402, which has a three-layer structure, namely a hydrophobic layer, a water-conducting layer and a hydrophilic layer.
- the moisture permeable aperture of the moisture permeable membrane 402 is above a certain humidity threshold and can be adjusted automatically according to the size of the humidity value.
- the temperature inside and outside the drawer is consistent, thereby achieving precise temperature control inside the drawer.
- the temperature of the freezing chamber is controlled by a temperature sensor, when the temperature is lower than -20°C, the compressor stops refrigeration.
- the moisture permeable film 402 has a three-layer structure, and when the relative humidity is above 80%, the surface facing the inner side of the drawer is hydrophobic, the middle layer (i.e., the layer having the nanoporous structure) is water-conductive, and the layer facing away from the inner side of the drawer is hydrophilic.
- the middle layer i.e., the layer having the nanoporous structure
- the layer facing away from the inner side of the drawer is hydrophilic.
- non-woven fabrics can be added on both sides of the film, and the periphery is plastic-sealed to ensure that the moisture permeable film 402 is protected from external violent damage.
- the auxiliary air passage formed in this embodiment can not only effectively reduce the amount of frost on the drawer cover 30, but also ensure the humidity environment inside the drawer.
- relevant experimental data please refer to Table 1 and Figures 20 and 21.
- the drawer with moisturizing function in this embodiment can effectively reduce the amount of frost on the moisture permeable component 40 by 50% through the auxiliary air passage.
- the drawer with moisturizing function provided in this embodiment can increase the humidity in the drawer by at least 40%.
- the liner 10 includes: a first air outlet 101, the air flow blown out flows through the upper surface of the drawer cover 30 to form a main air path to blow away the water vapor transmitted from the moisture permeable component 40; wherein the first air outlet 101 is arranged horizontally and is higher than the drawer cover 30.
- the first air outlet 101 can be regarded as the main air outlet of the air supply duct, and its main function is to refrigerate the space inside the freezer compartment. Among them, the air flow blown out from the first air outlet 101 has not only a large flow rate, but also a fast flow rate.
- the cold air blown out from the first air outlet 101 blows over the top of the drawer cover 30, that is, the air flow of the main air path flows over the top of the drawer cover 30, which can quickly take away the water vapor transmitted from the moisture permeable component 40, ensuring that the moisture permeable component 40 is in an efficient moisturizing state.
- the horizontal air outlet setting of the first air outlet 101 can make the airflow blown out by the first air outlet 101 parallel to the drawer cover 30, thereby cooperating with the auxiliary air path so that the auxiliary air path forms a parallel flow on the lower surface side of the drawer cover 30, which not only quickly reduces the high humidity water vapor under the drawer cover 30 to prevent the risk of freezing of the drawer cover 30 due to excessive water vapor, but also prevents cold air from directly blowing on the food, thereby keeping the food fresh.
- the liner 10 further includes: a second air outlet 102, which is located below the first air outlet 101, and the second air outlet 102 is used to form an auxiliary air path or accelerate the air flow rate of the auxiliary air path. As shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5.
- the second air outlet 102 is located below the first air outlet 101, and the second air outlet 102 is opened for the auxiliary air path.
- the air flow rate of the auxiliary air path is much smaller than the air flow rate of the main air path. In this way, it can be considered that the flow area of the second air outlet 102, that is, the air outlet area, is smaller than the flow area of the first air outlet 101.
- the second air outlet 102 when the second air outlet 102 discharges air horizontally, the second air outlet 102 corresponds to the first ventilation part 100 or the second ventilation part 200 of the drawer assembly, so that the blown air flows into the drawer body 20 to form an auxiliary air path.
- the second air outlet 102 is discharging air horizontally, the second air outlet 102 is used to form an auxiliary air path.
- the first ventilation part 100 defined as the air inlet for the convenience of description and distinction as mentioned above
- the second air outlet 102 is arranged corresponding to the first ventilation part 100, and the air flow blown out by the second air outlet 102 flows into the drawer through the first ventilation part 101.
- the air flow rate of the second air outlet 102 is not as good as that of the first air outlet 101, the flow rate of the air flow blown out from the second air outlet 102 is still relatively fast.
- the air flow enters the drawer body 20
- the air flow still flows forward rapidly and flows out through the second ventilation part 200 located at the front end, thereby forming a parallel wind curtain layer on the lower surface of the drawer cover 30, blowing away the water vapor on the lower surface of the drawer cover 30, thereby not only quickly reducing the high humidity water vapor under the drawer cover 30, avoiding the risk of freezing of the drawer cover 30 and the moisture permeable component 40 due to excessive water vapor, but also preventing cold air from blowing directly on the food, thereby keeping the food fresh.
- the second air outlet 102 when the second air outlet 102 is vertical and discharges air downward, the second air outlet 102 is higher than the drawer assembly.
- the first ventilation part 100 or the second ventilation part 200, the second air outlet 102 is used to blow away the airflow flowing out of the drawer assembly, increase the pressure difference to speed up the airflow velocity of the auxiliary air path.
- the second air outlet 102 When the second air outlet 102 is vertical and downward, the second air outlet 102 is used to speed up the airflow velocity of the auxiliary air path.
- the air outlet of the drawer assembly is arranged close to the second air outlet 102, that is, the second ventilation part 200 is located at the back of the drawer assembly, and the first ventilation part 100 is located at the front of the drawer assembly.
- the second air outlet 102 is higher than the second ventilation part 200, so that the air flow flowing out of the second ventilation part 200 can be quickly blown away by the second air outlet 102, so that a certain pressure difference is formed at the second ventilation part 200, which can accelerate the air flow in the auxiliary air path in the drawer to flow to the second ventilation part 200, thereby quickly reducing the high humidity water vapor under the drawer cover 30, avoiding the risk of freezing of the drawer cover 30 and the moisture permeable component 40 due to excessive water vapor, and can also prevent cold air from blowing directly on the food, thereby keeping the food fresh.
- the refrigerator further includes: a damper assembly 50, which is arranged at the second air outlet 102, and is used to adjust the flow area of the second air outlet 102. As shown in Figures 6 to 9.
- the flow area of the second air outlet 102 is adjusted by the damper assembly 50, that is, the air volume of the second air outlet 102 is adjusted, thereby achieving the adjustment of the auxiliary air path, and further achieving the humidity control in the drawer.
- the drawer assembly provided in this embodiment can not only adjust the humidity in the drawer through the moisture permeable assembly 40, but also adjust the humidity in the drawer by adjusting the air flow rate of the second air outlet 102 and the auxiliary air path.
- the moisture permeable assembly 40 cooperates with the auxiliary air path to not only ensure the moisture permeability effect of the moisture permeable assembly 40, but also ensure the moisturizing and fresh-keeping effect of the drawer.

- the ventilation area of the second air outlet 102 is shielded by the air door sliding piece 501, so that the flow area of the second air outlet 102 is adjustable.
- the motor 503 drives the transmission gear 502 to rotate, and the transmission gear 502 meshes with the rack portion 5011 of the damper sliding piece 501 , thereby driving the damper sliding piece 501 to move back and forth linearly along the slide rail 105 , thereby adjusting the flow area of the second air outlet 102 .

- the damper sliding piece 501 needs too much moving space to completely close the second air outlet 102 when sliding from one end of the second air outlet 102 to the other end can be overcome.
- the refrigerator further includes: a circulating fan 60, which is located above the moisture permeable component 40, and is started when the first air outlet 101 stops supplying air, so as to form a circulating air path and blow away the water vapor on the surface of the moisture permeable component 40. As shown in combination with Figures 10 to 13.
- the circulating fan 60 When the first air outlet 101 stops supplying air, the circulating fan 60 is started, and the airflow generated by the circulating fan 60 can suck or blow air from the moisture permeable component 40 of the drawer cover 30, blow away or take away the water vapor on the surface of the moisture permeable component 40, and exchange it with the cold air in the freezer compartment, so as to prevent the risk of surface icing of the moisture permeable component 40 due to poor moisture discharge, thereby affecting the moisturizing effect of the drawer, and eliminating the quality risk of ice on the inner wall and the drawer cover caused by excessive humidity inside the drawer.

- the air supply duct stops supplying air, due to the characteristics of the moisture permeable membrane 402 itself, when the relative humidity is higher than 85%, it actively permeates moisture to the outside; when the relative humidity is lower than 80%, it stops permeating moisture to the outside to prevent the humidity in the drawer from decreasing.
- the temperature inside and outside the drawer is consistent, thereby achieving precise temperature control inside the drawer.
- the humidity sensor 70 detects that the relative humidity is higher than 87%

- the food in the drawer can be cooled more quickly.
- the limited water vapor in the drawer can be locked in the inner side of the drawer in the form of condensation, avoiding the disadvantageous situation that only the upper air vent exists, resulting in continuous upward movement and rapid loss of moisture, and avoiding the continuous formation of an upper and lower humidity gradient in the drawer body 20, resulting in continuous and rapid loss of moisture.
- the air outlet areas of the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet are adjustable.
- the air outlet area of the upper air outlet is smaller than the air outlet area of the lower air outlet.
- the upper air outlet is used to realize the humidity control and frost control of the moisturizing drawer, and the lower air outlet has a large area to achieve rapid cooling. On the one hand, it can make the food in the drawer cool down more quickly, and on the other hand, it can lock the water vapor in the drawer in the form of condensation on the inside of the drawer, so that the relative humidity of the air at the bottom is higher and closer to the humidity on the surface of the food, thereby avoiding the continuous migration of moisture in the food.
- the upper air outlet has a smaller area, a higher relative temperature, and a lower relative humidity. While controlling frost, it minimizes the loss of moisture to avoid the continuous formation of an upper and lower humidity gradient in the drawer body 20, which leads to continuous and rapid loss of moisture.
- the area of the upper air vent can be increased to accelerate the top air circulation and eliminate the frosting when the food is stored in the drawer. After the abnormal situation is corrected, the air outlet area of the air vent can be restored to normal. It is not necessary to empty the food in the drawer before defrosting.

- the moisture permeable component 40 is located at the top of the drawer, and the water vapor in the drawer passes through the first hollow portion 4011 of the lower seat 401 and moves toward the moisture permeable membrane 402, and the purpose of moisture permeation and humidity adjustment is achieved through the moisture permeable membrane 402; through the water vapor guide surface 4012 and the condensation water guide surface 4013 of the first hollow portion 4011, not only the fluidity of water vapor can be increased, but also the condensation water condensed on the inner side of the moisture permeable membrane 402 can be guided, thereby preventing water vapor and condensation water from freezing on the lower seat 401 and the inner side of the moisture permeable membrane 402, and the amount of frost can be effectively reduced.

This not only reduces the discharge of water vapor in the drawer, but also prevents the water vapor from frosting on the side wall of the first hollow part 4011, thereby causing blockage and affecting the flow of water vapor.
- the drawer cover 30 plays the role of indirectly cooling the food in the drawer, the air outside the drawer is lower than the temperature inside the drawer. Therefore, when the water vapor in the drawer is higher than the set humidity and is dissipated through the moisture permeable component 40, the water vapor in contact with the lower cover will condense, that is, the water vapor condenses on the condensation water guide surface 4013 of the first hollow part 4011 to form condensed water.

- the water droplets in the water vapor include not only the water droplets originally carried, but also the water droplets formed by condensation of the water vapor during the movement.
- the water-stopping step 4014 can prevent water droplets in the water vapor from moving to the lower side of the moisture-permeable membrane 402, thereby reducing the amount of frost on the lower side of the moisture-permeable membrane 402 and the lower cover, and preventing the moisture-permeable membrane 402 and the first hollow portion 4011 of the lower cover from being blocked, thereby ensuring the moisture permeability of the moisture-permeable assembly 40.
