Abstract
The invention discloses an electrocaloric refrigerator. The electrocaloric refrigerator comprises a first electrocaloric material layer and an electrocaloric refrigeration unit composed of a first electrode layer and a second electrode layer attached to two sides of the first electrocaloric material layer, and further comprises a refrigeration piece located at one end of the electrocaloric refrigerator, a third electrode layer in tight contact with the refrigeration piece, a heat radiation piece located at the other end of the electrocaloric refrigerator, and a fourth electrode layer in tight contact with the heat radiation piece. The third electrode layer is opposite to the fourth electrode layer in position, and the third electrode layer is pointed at the electrocaloric refrigeration unit but makes no contact with the electrocaloric refrigeration unit. The electrocaloric refrigerator further comprises a track, pulse voltage is provided for the electrocaloric refrigerator by a power source, and a motor mechanically drives the electrocaloric refrigeration unit to reciprocate on the track so that the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer of the electrocaloric refrigeration unit can make contact with the fourth electrode layer on the heat radiation piece and the third electrode layer on the refrigeration piece correspondingly and alternatively.
