Thawing devices and refrigerators equipped with thawing devices

Abstract

The invention discloses a thawing device, which comprises a first heat pipe group and a second heat pipe group, the first heat pipe group and the second heat pipe group both include a vertical part, the top of the vertical part is bent and provided with a horizontal part; the first heat pipe The lateral parts of the heat pipe group and the second heat pipe group are fixed by a fixing device, and the free ends of the lateral parts of the two heat pipe groups are opposite to each other. The fixing device includes a fixing frame, the top and the bottom of the fixing frame are respectively fixed with an upper heat transfer shelf plate and a lower heat transfer shelf plate, and the transverse parts of the first and second heat pipe groups are located on the upper and lower heat transfer shelves. Between the shelf boards; the left and right extensions of the fixed frame have protruding parts for matching with the slideway of the refrigerator in the refrigerator. The invention also discloses a refrigerator equipped with a thawing device. The refrigerator and the thawing device are convenient to use, save energy, do not need a separate thawing space, do not need an electric heater, can automatically collect condensed water generated during thawing, and use The advantages of more uniform temperature inside the refrigerator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of refrigeration, in particular to a thawing device and a refrigerator provided with the thawing device. Background technique [0002] A refrigerator is a commonly used low-temperature storage household appliance, and generally includes a freezer for freezing food and a refrigerator for freezing food. Usually the temperature of the freezer is maintained at minus 18 degrees Celsius and below, and the temperature of the refrigerator is generally around 5 degrees Celsius. Therefore, the food taken out from the freezer needs to be thawed before cooking. Not only does it take a long time to thaw food, but inappropriate thawing methods can easily cause nutrient loss. [0003] The refrigerator with thawing chamber mainly contains two kinds at present: the first kind is the thawing device proposed in the Chinese patent CN97126440. The second is that the Chinese patent CN02121055.1 proposes to use the waste heat o...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The above two thawing methods will waste space, neither can recycle the cooling capacity of the thawed food itself, and the high temperature thawing will also lead to the loss of food nutrition; in addition, the first thawing method uses an electric heater, so there is additional waste energy

[0004] Compared with metals such as silver, copper, and aluminum, heat pipes can transfer several orders of magnitude more heat per unit weight, and have the advantages of excellent isothermal properties and heat flow direction reversibility. At present, heat pipes are mainly used for heat dissipation and uniformity of electronic devices. Wen, there is no precedent for the introduction of heat pipe technology in the field of domestic refrigeration technology
