Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of kitchen household appliances, and particularly to an integrated kitchen air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] With the acceleration of the pace of life and the improvement of living standards, kitchen household appliances such as refrigerators and microwave ovens have basically become essential for families. Existing kitchen appliances such as refrigerators and microwave ovens are usually independently designed and manufactured, with single functions and large space occupation in the kitchen. When people cook food in the kitchen or heat food using a microwave oven, a large amount of heat is often generated, which makes the temperature in the kitchen higher than that in other indoor spaces. Especially in hot summer, the high temperature in the kitchen will cause discomfort to users.

[0003] To solve the problem of high temperature in the kitchen, some users choose to install an air conditioner separately in the kitchen to lower the kitchen temperature. However, due to the usually closed and compact kitchen space, the cost of installing an air conditioner separately is very high, and the installation space occupied is large, with poor economy.

[0004] Correspondingly, there is a need in the art for an integrated kitchen air conditioner to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems in the prior art, that is, to solve the problems of single function and large space occupation of existing kitchen household appliances, the present invention provides an integrated kitchen air conditioner, which includes:

[0006] A housing, which includes an air-conditioning chamber and a heating chamber; a refrigeration system, which includes a first refrigeration system communicated with the air-conditioning chamber, a first ventilation opening is provided on the air-conditioning chamber, a first air damper is provided at the first ventilation opening, in the state where the first air damper is opened, the air-conditioning chamber is communicated with the indoor environment, so as to deliver cold air to the indoor environment under the action of the first refrigeration system; a second ventilation opening is provided on the heating chamber, a second air damper is provided at the second ventilation opening, in the state where the second air damper is opened, the heating chamber is communicated with the indoor environment, so as to discharge the hot air generated by the heating device in the heating chamber during the heating process to the indoor environment; a linkage device, which is respectively connected with the first air damper and the second air damper, so as to drive the first air damper and the second air damper to open or close simultaneously; a control device, which is used to control the first refrigeration system to refrigerate while the heating chamber is working.

[0007] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the linkage device includes a gear and a rack meshing with the gear. The rack includes a first rack and a second rack. The first rack is connected to the first air damper, and the second rack is connected to the second air damper, so that the first air damper and the second air damper can be opened or closed simultaneously.

[0008] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the housing further includes a refrigerator compartment, and the refrigeration system further includes a second refrigeration system communicating with the refrigerator compartment.

[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the first refrigeration system and the second refrigeration system share a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and part of the refrigerant pipeline.

[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the refrigerator compartment includes a refrigerating compartment and / or a freezing compartment.

[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the air conditioner compartment and the heating compartment are located in the upper part of the housing, the compressor and the condenser are located at the bottom of the housing, and a plurality of ventilation holes are formed in the side wall and / or the bottom wall of the housing.

[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the heating device includes a high-voltage transformer, a magnetron, and a waveguide. The high-voltage transformer is connected to a power supply and the magnetron, and is used to provide a working voltage for the magnetron to generate microwaves. The waveguide is connected to the magnetron and is used to transmit the microwaves to the heating compartment.

[0013] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, a weighing sensor is arranged in the heating compartment. The control device includes a controller. The weighing sensor is used to detect the weight of the object to be heated, and the controller is used to set the heating time according to the weight.

[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the heating compartment includes a heat-collecting side wall, a heat superconducting element, and a heat dissipation compartment. The second ventilation opening is formed on the heat dissipation compartment. One end of the heat superconducting element extends into the heat-collecting side wall, and the other end extends into the heat dissipation compartment, so that the heat in the heating compartment is conducted to the heat dissipation compartment through the heat-collecting side wall and the heat superconducting element and discharged to the indoor environment through the second ventilation opening.

[0015] In the preferred technical solution of the above kitchen air conditioner integrated machine, the first ventilation opening and the second ventilation opening are respectively formed at both ends of the top surface of the housing.

[0016] The integrated kitchen air conditioner provided by the present invention separates an air-conditioning chamber and a heating chamber within the housing of the integrated unit, enabling the integrated kitchen air conditioner to integrate the functions of an air conditioner and a heater. This realizes the multi-functionality of kitchen appliances, reduces the floor area occupied by kitchen appliances, decreases the expenditure of users on purchasing appliances, and at the same time can provide a comfortable indoor space for users. In addition, by setting up a linkage device, the first air damper in the air-conditioning chamber and the second air damper in the heating chamber can be synchronously opened or closed under the drive of the linkage device. Moreover, by setting up a control device, the air-conditioning chamber can be controlled to operate while the heating chamber is working, and the cold generated by the air-conditioning chamber is used to quickly neutralize the heat generated by the heating chamber, so that the indoor temperature in the kitchen can be stably maintained at a comfortable temperature, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0017] Furthermore, by separating a refrigerator chamber within the housing, the purpose of integrating the functions of an air conditioner, a refrigerator, and a microwave oven in this kitchen appliance is achieved. This is not only conducive to saving the space required for installation, reducing energy consumption, but also convenient for users to operate and enhancing the convenience of life.

[0018] Furthermore, the air-conditioning chamber and the refrigerator chamber share the compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and part of the refrigerant pipeline in the refrigeration system. Only before the refrigerant enters the evaporator, the refrigerant is branched through a branch pipeline to form a first refrigeration system and a second refrigeration system. In this way, on the premise of realizing the functions of both an air conditioner and a refrigerator, the number of hardware configurations of this kitchen appliance is minimized, thereby reducing the expenditure of users on purchasing electrical appliances.

[0019] Furthermore, by arranging the air-conditioning chamber and the heating chamber at the upper part of the housing and arranging the compressor, condenser, etc. at the bottom of the housing, the cold air output from the air-conditioning chamber and the hot air output from the heating chamber can be quickly mixed evenly, thus avoiding the phenomenon of uneven indoor temperature. And arranging the air-conditioning chamber at the upper part of the housing is conducive to the diffusion of cold and heat.

[0020] Furthermore, by setting up a weighing sensor and a controller, the intelligent setting of the heating time is realized, which can not only avoid overheating but also avoid incomplete heating.

[0021] Furthermore, by arranging a heat-collecting side wall, a heat superconducting element, and a heat dissipation compartment in the heating chamber, the heat in the heating chamber can be quickly concentrated and conducted to the indoor environment, accelerating the release of heat in the heating chamber.

[0022] Furthermore, by forming the first ventilation opening and the second ventilation opening at both ends of the top surface of the housing respectively, it is not only conducive to the setting of the linkage device but also conducive to the uniform diffusion of cold and heat.

[0036] The integrated kitchen air conditioner provided by this embodiment includes:

[0037] A housing, which includes an air-conditioning chamber, a heating chamber, and a refrigerator chamber. Both the air-conditioning chamber and the refrigerator chamber are connected to a refrigeration system. Among them, the first refrigeration system is connected to the air-conditioning chamber, and the second refrigeration system is connected to the refrigerator chamber. The first refrigeration system and the second refrigeration system share a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and some refrigerant pipelines. A first ventilation opening is provided on the air-conditioning chamber, and the first ventilation opening is provided at the left end of the top surface of the housing. A first air damper is provided at the first ventilation opening. In the state where the first air damper is opened, the air-conditioning chamber is connected to the indoor environment, so as to deliver cold air to the indoor environment under the action of the first refrigeration system. A second ventilation opening is provided on the heating chamber, and the second ventilation opening is provided at the right end of the top surface of the housing. A second air damper is provided at the second ventilation opening. In the state where the second air damper is opened, the heating chamber is connected to the indoor environment, so as to discharge the hot air generated by the heating device in the heating chamber during the heating process into the indoor environment. Preferably, the position and / or orientation of the second ventilation opening are set such that the hot air during the heating process intersects at least partially with the cold air flowing out of the first ventilation opening, which can accelerate the cooling rate of the hot air. The integrated kitchen air conditioner further includes a linkage device, which is respectively connected to the first air damper and the second air damper to drive the first air damper and the second air damper to open or close simultaneously. The integrated kitchen air conditioner further includes a control device, which is used to control the first refrigeration system to refrigerate while the heating chamber is working.

[0038] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the outer wall of the housing is surrounded by a first protective plate 7, a second protective plate 53, a top wall 49, a bottom wall 29, and a heat insulation plate. The interior of the housing is separated by a number of heat insulation plates to form different compartments. In this embodiment, the housing includes an air-conditioning chamber, a refrigerator chamber, and a heating chamber. It can be understood that the integrated kitchen air conditioner can also be provided with only an air-conditioning chamber and a heating chamber. The air-conditioning chamber and the heating chamber are located in the upper part of the housing; the compressor 31, the condenser 30, and the expansion valve 27 in the refrigeration system are located at the bottom of the housing, specifically above the bottom wall 29; a number of ventilation holes are formed on the side wall and / or the bottom wall of the housing. In this embodiment, a number of ventilation holes are formed on the bottom side wall 32, and ventilation holes for supplying air to the air conditioner are formed on the second protective plate 53. The ventilation holes formed on the bottom wall 29 are used for the heat dissipation of the condenser 30. It can be understood that ventilation holes can be formed only on the side wall or the bottom wall 29. The housing is supported by legs 28 and placed on the ground.

[0039] The compressor 31, the condenser 30, the expansion valve 27 and the evaporator are connected through refrigerant pipelines to form a circulation path. The evaporator includes a first evaporator 5 communicated with the air-conditioning chamber and a second evaporator 20 communicated with the refrigerator chamber. After the refrigerant flows out of the expansion valve 27, it is divided into two branches. One branch flows into the first evaporator 5, and the other branch flows into the second evaporator 20. The refrigerant flowing out of the first evaporator 5 and the second evaporator 20 converges and then enters the compressor 31. A first solenoid valve 6 is connected to the refrigerant branch leading to the first evaporator 5, and a second solenoid valve 16 is connected to the refrigerant branch leading to the second evaporator 20. The opening and closing of the refrigerant branch are controlled by the action of the solenoid valve, thereby controlling the working mode of the integrated machine.

[0040] The configurations and working processes of the air-conditioning chamber, the heating chamber and the refrigerator chamber will be elaborated in detail below.

[0041] Refer to Figure 1 , the first evaporator 5 is installed on a platform formed by recessing in the heating chamber. The first evaporator 5 and the first fan are arranged adjacent to the first ventilation opening of the air-conditioning chamber. The first fan is used to drive the air circulation in the air-conditioning chamber. The air circulation process is as follows: The relatively hot air in the kitchen enters the air-conditioning chamber through the ventilation holes on the first protection plate 7, exchanges heat with the first evaporator 5 and cools down, and then is discharged from the first ventilation opening to the indoor environment under the drive of the first fan. During this process, the first solenoid valve 6 is opened.

[0042] Refer to Figure 2 , the heating chamber is located above the refrigerator chamber. The second ventilation opening of the heating chamber is located at the top of the heating chamber. Specifically, the second ventilation opening is located at the right end of the top surface of the housing. The bottom of the heating chamber is separated from the lower refrigerator chamber by a heat insulation plate 15. Above the heat insulation plate 15, a first load-bearing bracket 14, a first weighing transition module 36, a first weighing sensor 37 and a first support bottom plate 13 are arranged in sequence. The first weighing sensor 37 is used to detect the weight of the object to be heated, and the control device 65 includes a controller for setting the heating time according to the weight of the object to be heated.

[0043] The heating chamber is connected with a heating device. The principle of using this heating device to heat the object to be heated is similar to that of a microwave oven, and specifically, the heating and thawing of the object can be realized. Refer to Figure 2, the heating device includes a high-voltage transformer 55, a magnetron 10 and a waveguide 11. The high-voltage transformer 55 is connected to a power supply and the magnetron 10, and is used to provide a working voltage for the magnetron 10 to generate microwaves. The waveguide 11 is connected to the magnetron 10 and is used to convey the microwaves to the heating chamber. A high-voltage diode 54 is connected between the high-voltage transformer 55 and the magnetron 10, and the high-voltage transformer 55 is installed on a horizontal platform connected to the side wall of the heating chamber. A micro negative ion generator 1 is installed in the heating chamber for sterilizing the internal environment of the heating chamber. An air door position sensor 2 is arranged at a position close to the micro negative ion generator 1, and the air door position sensor 2 is used to detect the positions of two air doors, thereby helping to judge the opening and closing degree of the air doors. A central temperature sensor 40 is also arranged in the heating chamber, and the central temperature sensor 40 is mainly used to detect the temperature of the object to be heated. A heat collecting side wall, a heat superconducting element 41 and a heat dissipation compartment are arranged on the right side surface of the heating chamber, and a second ventilation opening is formed on the heat dissipation compartment. The heat collecting side wall includes a heat collecting box body 39 and a plurality of heat collecting fins 38 arranged in the heat collecting box body 39. One end of the heat superconducting element 41 extends into the heat collecting side wall, that is, into the heat collecting fins 38, and the other end extends into the heat dissipation compartment; a heat dissipation fan 42 is arranged in the heat dissipation compartment, and the heat dissipation fan 42 can promote the air circulation in the heat dissipation compartment, so that the hot air in the heating chamber is conducted to the heat dissipation compartment through the heat collecting side wall and the heat superconducting element 41 and discharged into the indoor environment through the second ventilation opening.

[0044] The refrigerator compartment is arranged below the heating chamber. In addition to the compartments for refrigerating or freezing food, the refrigerator compartment also includes a return air passage for circulating air, and the return air passage is separated by a heat-insulating partition board with heat-insulating performance. First, refer to Figure 1 , the compartments for refrigerating or freezing food in the refrigerator compartment are surrounded by a bottom heat-insulating partition board 35, side heat-insulating partition boards 35 and a top support partition board 19. The bottom heat-insulating partition board 35 is arranged above the bottom side wall 32. Refer to Figure 3 , a plurality of ventilation holes are formed on the bottom side wall 32. Above the bottom heat-insulating partition board 35, a second load-bearing bracket 26, a second weighing transition module 34, a second weighing sensor 33 and a second support bottom plate 25 are arranged in sequence, and the second weighing sensor 33 is used to detect the weight of the object for refrigerating or freezing.

[0045] A first temperature sensor 9 is arranged on the side wall of the heating chamber, and a second temperature sensor 21 is arranged on the side wall of the refrigerator compartment to respectively detect the temperature in the compartments.

[0046] Refer to Figure 2, a return air partition plate 60 is vertically arranged at the rear of the refrigerator compartment. A plurality of return air openings 24 are formed on the return air partition plate 60. The return air partition plate 60 and the transverse heat insulation plates 15, 35, and the second protection plate 53 behind the housing jointly enclose a return air passage for air circulation. A return air fan 59 is arranged in the return air passage. Above the support partition plate 19, a second evaporator 20 and a second air supply fan 18 are arranged. The refrigerant output from the expansion valve 27 circulates in the second evaporator 20. At the top of the return air partition plate 60, a return air plate 17 is connected. The return air plate 17 is driven by a micro motor 56. At the connection position between the return air plate 17 and the return air partition plate 60, a first seal 57 and a second seal 58 are respectively arranged to improve the sealing performance of the return air passage. The air circulation direction in the refrigerator compartment is referred to Figure 2 , under the action of the second air supply fan 18, the cold air output from the second evaporator 20 enters the refrigerator compartment through the through holes on the support partition plate 19, and then enters the return air passage through the return air openings 24 on the return air partition plate 60. Driven by the return air fan 59, it reaches the second evaporator 20 through the opening at the return air plate 17, realizing the circulation of air.

[0047] A storage rack 8 is arranged in the heating compartment. A first water receiving tray 12 is arranged below the storage rack 8 to collect the water formed during the heating process. A loading rack 22 is arranged in the refrigerator compartment for placing objects to be refrigerated or frozen. A second water receiving tray 23 is arranged below the loading rack 22 for receiving the water converging in the heating compartment.

[0048] When the kitchen air conditioner integrated machine is working, if the user selects to start the heating mode, the control device 65 will control the kitchen air conditioner integrated machine to start the air conditioner mode at the same time; if the user selects to start the air conditioner mode, the control device 65 does not need to control the heating mode to start simultaneously.

[0049] The following refers to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 4 And Figure 5 Describe the linkage device in the embodiment of the present invention. The linkage device in this embodiment includes a driving unit and a transmission unit. The driving unit includes a motor 51, and the transmission unit includes a gear 48 and a rack 46 meshing with the gear 48. Refer to Figure 2 , the motor 51 is installed on the motor bracket 52, and the output end of the motor 51 is connected to the gear 48. Refer to Figure 1, the rack 46 includes a first rack and a second rack. The first rack is connected to the first air damper 4, and the second rack is connected to the second air damper 43. The rack 46 can slide along the rack guide 47, and the first air damper 4 and the second air damper 43 can slide along the air damper slide rail 45. Among them, the second rack is fixedly connected to the second air damper 43 through the connecting plate 44, so that the second rack can smoothly drive the second air damper 43 to slide. By setting the linkage device in this way, the first air damper 4 and the second air damper 43 can be opened or closed simultaneously. Refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 shows the states of the first air damper 4 and the second air damper 43 in the closed situation. Refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 shows the states of the first air damper 4 and the second air damper 43 in the opened situation. It can be understood that the cooling fan 42 in the heat dissipation compartment can also be arranged on the right side, so that the hot air discharged from the heat dissipation compartment can flow towards the first ventilation opening of the air-conditioning room, so as to accelerate the mixing of the cold air and the hot air and accelerate the cooling of the hot air. To protect the linkage device from being eroded by the hot air in the heating chamber, the linkage device is protected by means of an isolation shield 50.

[0050] Alternatively, the linkage device can also be realized by means of electromagnetic adsorption. For example, the first rack and the second rack are respectively replaced by a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member, and the polarities of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are the same; the gear and the motor are replaced by an electromagnetic device with variable polarity. When the air-conditioning room or the heating chamber is not working, the polarity of the electromagnetic device is the same as that of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member, and the same-sex repulsion makes the first air damper and the second air damper in the closed state; when it is necessary to open the air damper, change the polarity of the electromagnetic device, for example, change the polarity by changing the current direction, and the electromagnetic device can adsorb the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member simultaneously, and then open the first air damper and the second air damper simultaneously.

[0051] Refer to Figure 3 , the heating chamber is provided with a first door 64, and the control device 65 is arranged on the door body of the first door 64. In addition to including a controller, the control device 65 also includes a display panel, and the display panel realizes the interaction with the user, can receive various input settings of the user, and display the internal environment situation of the all-in-one machine. The refrigerator compartment is provided with a second door 62. The opening degree of the first door 64 is measured by the first door position sensor 63, and the opening degree of the second door 62 is measured by the second door position sensor 61.

[0052] The working process of this kitchen air-conditioning all-in-one machine will be described in detail below.

[0053] The working process of the air-conditioning mode of this kitchen air-conditioning all-in-one machine is as follows:

[0054] When the temperature in the kitchen is relatively high, the user selects to turn on the air-conditioning mode of the integrated kitchen air conditioner through the control device 65. At this time, there is no need to turn on the heating mode. After the air-conditioning mode is turned on, the motor 51 in the air-conditioning chamber drives the gear 48 to rotate, and the gear 48 drives the first air damper 4 to open. The control device 65 controls the operation of the first air supply fan 3, the first solenoid valve 6, the compressor 31, and the fan component of the condenser 30. The first air supply fan 3 blows the cold air generated at the first evaporator 5 outward into the indoor environment, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the kitchen temperature.

[0055] The working process of the heating mode of this integrated kitchen air conditioner is as follows:

[0056] Place the object to be heated on the storage rack 8. The first temperature sensor 9 is used to detect the temperature in the heating chamber. The central temperature sensor 40 is mainly used to detect the temperature of the object to be heated. The micro negative ion generator 1 is mainly used for sterilizing the object to be heated. The first weighing sensor 37 automatically sets an appropriate heating time according to the weight of the object to be heated. Of course, the heating time can also be set manually. After determining the heating time, the motor 51 in the air-conditioning chamber drives the gear 48 to rotate, and the gear 48 drives the first air damper 4 and the second air damper 43 to open simultaneously. The control device 65 controls the operation of components such as the first air supply fan 3, the first solenoid valve 6, the compressor 31, and the fan of the condenser 30, and the air-conditioning chamber starts to refrigerate. While, before, or after the air-conditioning chamber refrigerates, the control device 65 controls the high-voltage transformer 55 to be connected to the power supply. The high-voltage transformer 55 provides a working voltage for the magnetron 10 to generate microwaves. The waveguide 11 is connected to the magnetron 10 and is used to transmit the microwaves to the heating chamber. Under the action of the microwaves, the object to be heated starts to be rapidly heated. The heat generated during the heating process is collected through the heat collection side wall, and the collected heat is transferred to the heat dissipation compartment through the heat superconducting element 41. The heat dissipation fan 42 in the heat dissipation compartment discharges the hot air into the indoor environment. Since the air-conditioning mode is turned on while, before, or after the heating, the cold air generated in the air-conditioning mode can neutralize the hot air discharged during the heating, quickly reducing the temperature of the hot air and keeping the kitchen temperature always at a comfortable temperature.

[0057] The working process of the refrigerator mode of this integrated kitchen air conditioner is as follows:

[0058] When the integrated kitchen air conditioner is configured with a refrigerator compartment, the refrigerator mode of the integrated kitchen air conditioner is usually always running. Taking the refrigerating compartment as an example, the object to be refrigerated is placed on the loading rack 22, and the second weighing sensor 33 detects the weight of the object. The control device 65 can adjust the refrigerating capacity according to the weight of the object so that the temperature in the refrigerator compartment can quickly reach the set refrigerating temperature. The refrigerating temperature can be set manually or can be the default temperature. During the refrigeration process of the refrigerator, the second air supply fan 18, the compressor 31, the second solenoid valve 16, the return air plate 17, etc. are all in the open state. The return air plate 17 is driven by a micro motor 56 to open. The second air supply fan 18 blows the cold air generated at the second evaporator 20 downward. The cold air enters the refrigerating compartment through the through holes on the support partition 19. After the cold air absorbs the heat of the object and its temperature rises, under the combined action of the return air fan 59 and the second air supply fan 18, it enters the return air channel through the return air port 24 and circulates to the second evaporator 20, realizing the circulation of the air in the refrigerating compartment. During the process of air circulation, the heat of the object to be refrigerated is taken away.

[0059] It should be noted that the refrigerator compartment in this embodiment takes the refrigerating compartment as an example. It can be understood that the refrigerator compartment can also be set as a freezing compartment, or both a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment are provided. When both a refrigerating compartment and a freezing compartment are provided, it is only necessary to continue to divide the refrigerant flowing out of the expansion valve 27 and control the temperature in the compartment by controlling the flow rate of the refrigerant.

[0060] The integrated kitchen air conditioner provided by the present invention separates an air conditioning compartment and a heating compartment in the housing of the integrated machine, so that the integrated kitchen air conditioner integrates the air conditioning function and the heating function, realizes the multi-function of kitchen appliances, reduces the floor area of kitchen appliances, reduces the expenditure of users on purchasing appliances, and at the same time can provide a comfortable indoor space for users. In addition, by setting a linkage device, the first air damper in the air conditioning compartment and the second air damper in the heating compartment can be synchronously opened or closed driven by the linkage device. Also, by setting a control device, the air conditioning compartment can be controlled to work while the heating compartment is working, and the cold air generated in the air conditioning compartment is used to quickly neutralize the heat generated in the heating compartment, so that the indoor temperature in the kitchen can be stably maintained at a comfortable temperature, thereby improving the user experience.

[0061] So far, the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
