The present application stacks the more than one storage compartment vertically in a stepped manner, so that the cold air in the wardrobe flows downward under the influence of gravity and, when it gathers to a certain extent at the bottom of the wardrobe, some of the cold air flows upward again and then sinks again, thereby gathering different amounts of cold air near the storage compartments at different heights, making the temperature boundaries within each storage compartment more distinct.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of furniture technology, for example, to a wardrobe. Background Art

[0002] Currently, users' wardrobe needs extend beyond simply storing clothing. Sometimes, different clothing or items require different storage temperatures, necessitating temperature regulation within the wardrobe. Creating distinct temperature zones within a wardrobe to accommodate these diverse clothing or items is crucial. While implementing the disclosed embodiments, we discovered that related art suffers from at least the following issues: Wardrobes with cooling functions, after cooling energy diffuses within the wardrobe, fail to form multiple temperature zones with distinct temperature boundaries. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. The summary is not an extensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / critical elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0004] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a wardrobe to solve the technical problem that, in a wardrobe with a refrigeration function, the cold energy diffuses inside the wardrobe and cannot form temperature zones with clear temperature boundaries.

[0005] In some embodiments, the wardrobe includes: a cabinet body, in which a refrigeration device is installed; a storage chamber, which is arranged in the cabinet body; more than one storage compartments, which are arranged in the storage chamber, and the more than one storage compartments are stacked in a stepped manner along the vertical direction.

[0006] The wardrobe provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects: by stacking more than one storage compartment in the vertical direction and forming a stepped shape, the cold air in the wardrobe flows downward under the influence of gravity and gathers to a certain extent at the bottom of the wardrobe. Part of the cold air will flow upward again and then sink again, thereby gathering different amounts of cold air near the storage compartments at different heights. In this way, the temperature boundaries in each storage compartment are more obvious, so that the wardrobe forms multiple temperature zones with obvious temperature boundaries.

[0007] The above general description and the following description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not intended to limit the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] In order to be able to understand the features and technical content of the embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present disclosure. In the following technical description, for the sake of convenience of explanation, a full understanding of the disclosed embodiments is provided through multiple details. However, one or more embodiments can still be implemented without these details. In other cases, to simplify the drawings, well-known structures and devices can be simplified for display.

[0015] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of a wardrobe provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure with door panels removed; Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a wardrobe, comprising: a cabinet body 1, in which a refrigeration device 2 is arranged; a storage chamber, arranged in the cabinet body 1; more than one storage compartment 3, arranged in the storage chamber, and more than one storage compartment 3 are stacked in a stepped manner along the vertical direction.

[0016] The storage compartments 3 can hold clothing, bedding, cosmetics, and the like. Some items require a slightly lower temperature, while others require an even lower one. This difference in temperature requires different temperatures between the storage compartments 3. At a suitable low temperature, clothing is less susceptible to insect infestation, cosmetics are better preserved, and this facilitates the storage of items. The refrigeration equipment 2 within the cabinet is used to cool the storage compartment, lowering the temperature. The cold air within the wardrobe flows downward under the influence of gravity and collects at the bottom of the wardrobe. By stacking more than one storage compartment 3 vertically in a stepped pattern, when the cold air at the bottom of the wardrobe collects to a certain level, some of it flows upward again, then sinks again and settles on top of the upper storage compartment 3. When this layer of cold air collects to a certain level, it continues to flow upward, repeating the aforementioned sinking and rising process. This results in different amounts of cold air being collected at the tops of the storage compartments 3 at different heights. This makes the temperature boundaries within each storage compartment 3 more distinct, creating multiple temperature zones with distinct temperature boundaries within the wardrobe.

[0017] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of a wardrobe provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure with side panels removed; Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration equipment 2 includes an evaporator and a condenser 21, and the evaporator and the condenser 21 are connected by a refrigerant pipeline. The refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator and absorbs heat, and condenses in the condenser 21 and releases heat. Optionally, the evaporator is arranged on the top of the cabinet 1. In this way, the generated cold air flows from top to bottom, and temperature zones can be formed inside the cabinet 1. Optionally, the condenser 21 is arranged close to the side wall of the cabinet 1, and a vent 11 is provided on the side wall corresponding to the position of the condenser 21. This is conducive to the heat dissipation of the condenser 21. Optionally, the storage compartment 3 is a drawer-type structure. The storage compartment 3 can be opened and closed by pushing and pulling to take out or put in items.

[0018] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the storage compartments 3 are provided with air holes 31 for cool air to pass through. Cool air enters the storage compartments 3 directly through the air holes 31, more quickly changing the temperature within the storage compartments 3. Optionally, insulation material is provided between the storage compartments 3. This prevents cold air from being transferred between the storage compartments 3, which could result in similar temperatures within the compartments 3 and negate the temperature zoning effect. Optionally, insulation material is provided on the side walls of the storage compartments 3. This allows cooling only through the cold air entering through the air holes 31, reducing the impact of cold air transfer from the side walls on the temperature of the storage compartments 3. By controlling the distribution and number of air holes 31, the temperature of the storage compartments 3 can be more precisely controlled. Optionally, each layer of storage compartments 3 may have one or more air holes 31. If there are more than one air hole 31, they can be distributed at different locations within the storage compartments 3 to increase the amount of cool air entering and ensure faster and more even distribution of cool air within the storage compartments 3.

[0019] In some embodiments, the air holes 31 are disposed in the uncovered portion of the top of the storage compartment 3. Since the storage compartments 3 are stacked, portions of the top of the lower storage compartment 3 are covered by the upper storage compartment 3. Therefore, the air holes 31 are disposed in the uncovered portion of the top. This allows cool air to enter the storage compartment 3 through the air holes 31, thereby cooling the storage compartment 3. Furthermore, since cool air tends to sink, locating the air holes 31 at the top of the storage compartment 3 facilitates cool air entering the storage compartment 3 through the air holes 31, rapidly cooling the storage compartment 3. Alternatively, the air holes 31 are disposed on the side walls of the storage compartment 3. In this way, cool air can also enter the storage compartment 3 through the air holes 31 on the side walls, thereby cooling the storage compartment 3.

[0020] In some embodiments, among more than one storage compartment 3, the ventilation area of the air holes 31 in the storage compartment 3 on the lower level is larger than the ventilation area of the air holes 31 in the storage compartment 3 on the upper level. This allows the amount of cold air entering the storage compartment 3 on the lower level to be greater than the amount of cold air entering the storage compartment 3 on the upper level, making the difference in the amount of cold air between storage compartments 3 at different heights greater, thereby forming a more distinct temperature boundary and meeting the storage requirements of items with different temperature requirements. Optionally, the aperture of the air holes 31 in the storage compartment 3 on the lower level is larger than the aperture of the air holes 31 in the storage compartment 3 on the upper level. In this way, the amount of cold air entering the storage compartment 3 on the lower level can be greater than the amount of cold air entering the storage compartment 3 on the upper level.

[0021] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a wardrobe provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure without side panels; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A magnified view of part A; Figure 2 、 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the storage compartment 3 is provided with a baffle 32 that can move relative to the air holes 31 to adjust the ventilation area of the air holes 31. The movement of the baffle 32 relative to the air holes 31 adjusts the ventilation area of the air holes 31, thereby varying the amount of cold air entering the storage compartment 3 and, in turn, the temperature within the storage compartment 3. By adjusting the relative position of the baffle 32 and the air holes 31, the temperature of the storage compartment 3 can be controlled, allowing for finer adjustments within a certain range to meet the temperature requirements of the items.

[0022] Optionally, a baffle 32 is positioned inside the storage compartment 3. This prevents other items in the wardrobe from colliding with the baffle 32 and affecting its movement, while also making the storage compartment 3 more compact and maintaining a flat exterior. Optionally, the air holes 31 are positioned at the top of the storage compartment 3, with a chamber positioned below the air holes 31. The baffle 32 is positioned within the chamber, and a through-hole is provided at the bottom of the chamber corresponding to the position of the air holes 31. This prevents the baffle 32 from colliding with items in the storage compartment 3, preventing interference between the baffle 32 and items in the storage compartment 3 during movement, while allowing cool air to pass through the chamber and enter the storage compartment 3.

[0023] In some embodiments, the storage compartment 3 is further provided with a driving member 33 capable of driving the baffle 32 to move. By driving the baffle 32 to move by the driving member 33, manual adjustment is eliminated, and the control of the baffle 32 is more automated.

[0024] In some embodiments, the driver 33 comprises a cylinder 331 and a piston rod 332. One end of the piston rod 332 is connected to the cylinder 331, and the other end is connected to the baffle 32. The cylinder 331 drives the piston rod 332 to extend and retract, and the piston rod 332 drives the baffle 32 to move, thereby changing the relative position between the baffle 32 and the air hole 31, thereby adjusting the ventilation area of the air hole 31. Optionally, the driver 33 is disposed within the chamber. This ensures that the items placed in the storage compartment 3 are not interfered with by the driver 33.

[0025] In some embodiments, the refrigeration device 2 is installed above more than one storage compartment 3. In this way, the cold air generated by the refrigeration device 2 can first pass through the space between the storage compartment 3 and the cabinet 1, and then be collected at the bottom of the cabinet 1, pre-cooling the storage compartment 3, which is conducive to quickly forming different temperature zones in the low temperature range.

[0026] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the storage compartment 3 is provided with a temperature feedback device 4. Through the temperature feedback device 4, the temperature zoning of the storage compartment 3 can be timely understood, so that the appropriate storage compartment 3 can be selected for storage according to the demand for the items.

[0027] In some embodiments, the temperature feedback device 4 includes at least one of the following: a light strip capable of representing temperature; a display capable of displaying temperature. The storage compartment 3 is provided with a light strip, and light strips of different colors represent different temperature ranges. In this way, when the user opens the wardrobe, he can intuitively feel the temperature zones formed by the storage compartment 3, which facilitates quick judgment and selection, or for storage compartments 3 with relatively close temperatures, the ventilation area of the air holes 31 can be adjusted to differentiate their temperatures. The storage compartment 3 is provided with a display for displaying the temperature of the storage compartment 3. The user can know the temperature inside the storage compartment 3 by reading the numbers on the display. Optionally, the temperature feedback device 4 is provided on the front side wall of the storage compartment 3. The front side wall is the side wall facing the wardrobe door. In this way, when the wardrobe door is opened, the temperature of each storage compartment 3 can be directly seen.
