Therefore, the magnetic field can be used to assist in storing food materials, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging the storage period of food materials. When using the magnetic field to assist in storing food materials, the magnetic field limits the free path of water molecules to a certain extent, which is specifically manifested as the breaking of hydrogen bonds in the water molecule cluster.

[0055] Figure 3 is Figure 2 is a schematic view of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 from another viewing angle. Figure 4 is a side sectional view of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 in the refrigeration equipment 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 is Figure 4 is a local enlarged view of A in Figure 6 isFigure 4 A local enlarged view at B.

[0056] The magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 can be provided as a drawer, for example, the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 can include a barrel 22 and a drawer 21. The rear of the barrel 22 forms an air inlet 231 and an air return 232 which are in communication with the refrigeration air duct 140. The drawer 21 is provided in the barrel 22 in a pullable manner, and the fresh-keeping space 23 is defined in the drawer 21, that is, the fresh-keeping space 23 in the drawer 21 can be controlled by a magnetic field and temperature to achieve a magnetic field fresh-keeping function.

[0057] The magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 is configured to form a surrounding air duct that makes the air flow from the air inlet 231 to the air return 232 through the top wall 221 of the barrel 22, the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21, and the space below the drawer bottom plate in sequence to refrigerate the fresh-keeping space 23. The surrounding air duct enters the inside of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 from the air inlet 231 at the top rear end of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20, passes through the top wall 221 of the barrel 22, enters the top end of the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21, flows through the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21, enters the space below the drawer bottom plate from the bottom, and then returns to the air return 232 at the rear wall 224 of the barrel 22 to complete the circulation of the air flow. The section of the surrounding air duct passing through the top wall 221 of the barrel 22, that is, the section at the top of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 is referred to as a top section 241. The section of the surrounding air duct passing through the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21, that is, the section at the front of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 is referred to as a front section 242. The section of the surrounding air duct passing through the space below the drawer bottom plate, that is, the section at the bottom of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 is referred to as a bottom section 243. The surrounding air duct forms an air path that surrounds the fresh-keeping space 23 from front to back, effectively achieving uniform cooling.

[0058] The top wall 221 of the barrel 22 can include a drawer top cover 211, an outer shell plate 212, and a top heat insulation plate 213.

[0059] The air return 232 can be provided in the middle of the rear wall 224 of the barrel 22. The top end of the rear wall 224 extends obliquely to the rear end of the top wall 221 of the barrel 22, and the air inlet 231 is provided on the obliquely extending surface. The positions of the air inlet 231 and the air return 232 make the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 cooperate with the air duct of the refrigeration equipment 10 more smoothly, improving the air supply efficiency. In addition, the air inlet 231 is provided at the top end of the rear side of the drawer 21 and is obliquely provided, reducing the occupation of the air supply structure to the fresh-keeping space 23, and the structure is more compact and effective.

[0060] The drawer top cover 211 is opposite to the top opening of the drawer 21, and is used for closing the top space of the fresh-keeping space 23. The shell plate 212 is arranged above the drawer top cover 211 and has a first interval with the drawer top cover 211. The top heat insulation plate 213 is arranged in the first interval, and the space between the top heat insulation plate 213 and the drawer top cover 211 forms a top section 241 of the top wall 221 of the barrel 22 through which the air flow of the air circulation channel passes. A plurality of through holes are further arranged on the drawer top cover 211, so that the fresh-keeping space 23 and the top section 241 are communicated through the through holes. The aperture of the through hole can be small, so that the refrigeration air flow uniformly enters the fresh-keeping space 23, avoiding direct blowing of the storage in the fresh-keeping space 23.

[0061] The top heat insulation plate 213 further forms a plurality of air guide ribs 2131 on the side facing the drawer top cover 211, so as to guide the air flow in the top section 241 through the top section 241 uniformly.

[0062] The barrel 22 is simple in molding processing and can be used as an upper and lower or left and right split splicing inner barrel, which is fixed by a special buckle or screw or the like, or can be an integrally formed barrel. The inner side of the side wall of the barrel 22 is provided with a corresponding drawer 21 mounting structure, such as a slide rail or slide.

[0063] The barrel 22 is provided with a heat preservation member, such as the top heat insulation plate 213, the middle partition plate 2152, the bottom heat insulation plate and the rear wall heat insulation plate, on the outer side of the air circulation channel, so as to avoid the cold quantity of the refrigeration air flow from being scattered outside, and improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0064] Figure 7 is a schematic view of the top section 241 of the air circulation channel of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 in the refrigeration equipment 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The refrigeration equipment 10 with the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 further comprises a first temperature detection component 251 and a second temperature detection component 252. The first temperature detection component 251 and the second temperature detection component 252 are respectively arranged in the drawer top cover 211, the first temperature detection component 251 is arranged at a position close to the air inlet 231, and the second temperature detection component 252 is arranged at a position close to the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21.

[0065] In other embodiments, the first temperature detection component 251 can be arranged in the drawer top cover 211, and the second temperature detection component 252 is arranged at the bottom section 243 of the air circulation channel, that is, at the bottom wall 223 of the barrel 22, so as to reflect the temperature state of different positions of the fresh-keeping space 23.

[0066] The top cover 211 of the drawer is provided with a receiving groove on one side of the top section 241 of the surrounding air duct, for arranging the first temperature detection component 251 and the second temperature detection component 252. An optional temperature control strategy is to start air supply to the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 when the temperature sensing value of the first temperature detection component 251 is higher than the fresh-keeping set temperature, and to stop air supply to the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 when the temperature sensing value of the second temperature detection component 252 is lower than the fresh-keeping temperature required by the food material.

[0067] Figure 8 is an exploded view of the components of the drawer 21 in the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 in the refrigeration equipment 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The front baffle 215 of the drawer 21 can include a partition plate 2152, an air duct piece 2153, a panel 2151, and an outer frame 2156.

The front ends of the plurality of air guide ribs 2131 of the top heat insulation plate 213 can guide the air flow to the front baffle air inlet 2154.

[0069] The panel 2151 is arranged on the side of the partition plate 2152 opposite to the fresh-keeping space 23, and forms an air insulation space with the partition plate 2152. The panel 2151 can be made of a glass plate. That is, the partition plate 2152 divides the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21 into two chambers in front and back. The front chamber is the air insulation space, to avoid cold leakage. The rear chamber is the front section 242 of the surrounding air duct. The partition plate 2152 can also be made of a heat-insulating material, to further avoid cold leakage. The side of the partition plate 2152 facing the panel 2151 can form a plurality of protrusions, which abut against the rear side of the panel 2151, to support the panel 2151.

[0070] The double-layer structure of the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21 is compact and has good heat preservation effect.

The front baffle 215 of the drawer 21 can be further provided with a sealing strip at the rear side of the outer frame 2156, which cooperates with the sealing groove at the front end of the barrel body 22 to realize the sealing of the fresh-keeping space 23.

[0071] The drawer 21 is cooperated with the guide rail member of the barrel body 22, and is arranged to be pulled out along the front-rear direction of the barrel body 22. After the drawer 21 is pulled back to the barrel body 22, the relatively sealed fresh-keeping space 23 is formed, and the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field assembly is used for fresh-keeping storage.

The opening area of the front baffle air inlet 2154 is greater than or equal to the area of the front end of the top section 241. The material of the air duct piece 2153 can be ordinary plastic or plastic material with good heat conduction performance (with heat conduction or heat insulation coating), which is connected with the drawer 21 and the drawer front cover by a specific plug-in fitting mode. A certain heat insulation material (foam, PE or VIP, etc.) is pasted in the air duct piece 2153, and the front baffle air outlet 2155 at the lower end of the air duct piece 2153 makes the airflow completely enter the bottom section 243 of the surrounding air duct, so that the airflow is evenly passed through the bottom section 243.

[0074] The drawer bottom plate is arranged in a spaced manner with the bottom wall 223 of the barrel body 22 to form a lower space as the bottom section 243 of the surrounding air duct. The front baffle air outlet 2155 is arranged at the position opposite to the bottom end of the air duct piece 2153 of the drawer bottom plate, so as to communicate the bottom section 243 by the front baffle air outlet 2155.

[0075] The bottom wall 223 of the barrel body 22 is also multi-layered, for example, from bottom to top, it can include a bottom wall shell, a bottom heat insulation plate and a drawer bottom cover. The bottom wall shell is the lowest component of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20, and the bottom heat insulation plate is used for heat insulation. The drawer bottom cover is spaced from the drawer bottom, and the space therebetween serves as the bottom section 243 of the surrounding air duct.

[0076] Figure 10 It is a schematic view of the magnetic field assembly 30 of the magnetic field fresh-keeping device 20 in the refrigeration equipment 10 according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0077] The magnetic field assembly 30 can include two groups of magnetic components arranged on the drawer top cover 211 and the bottom wall 223 of the barrel body respectively, wherein the first magnetic plate 321 and the first magnetic component 311 are arranged on the drawer top cover 211, and the first magnetic component 311 is flat as a whole and arranged in close contact with the first magnetic plate 321.

[0078] The second magnetic plate 322 and the second magnetic component (shielded and not shown) are arranged on the bottom wall 223 of the barrel body 22, and the second magnetic component is flat as a whole and arranged in close contact with the second magnetic plate 322.

[0079] The first magnetic conductive plate 321 and the second magnetic conductive plate 322 are oppositely arranged, and the magnetic field assembly 30 can further include a magnetic conductive tape 323. The magnetic conductive tape 323 can be arranged on the sidewall of the barrel 22 and connected to the first magnetic conductive plate 321 and the second magnetic conductive plate 322 to form a ring-shaped magnetic conductive path surrounding the drawer 21. The ring-shaped magnetic conductive path can be made of a material with low coercivity and high magnetic permeability, which forms a magnetic conductive path that can be used to concentrate the magnetic field, improve the uniformity of the magnetic field in the storage space, and at the same time reduce the release of the magnetic field to the outside, reducing the interference with other components outside the magnetic field preservation device 20 (for example, avoiding magnetizing other components, etc.). The first magnetic conductive plate 321, the second magnetic conductive plate 322, and the magnetic conductive tape 323 can be made of silicon steel sheets or similar materials.

[0080] The first magnetic conductive plate 321 and the second magnetic conductive plate 322 cover the top and bottom of the preservation space 23, respectively, which can expand the coverage of the magnetic field and make the magnetic field more uniform.

[0081] The first magnetic member 311 and the second magnetic member can be electromagnetic coils wound by electromagnetic coils, which can be circular, oval, or square in shape, and flat in shape, with the top and bottom being planar and the thickness being significantly smaller than the outer circumference. The surrounding air duct can also remove the heat generated by the magnetic field assembly, reducing the temperature influence on the preservation space 23.

[0082] Alternatively, the magnetic field assembly in the embodiment can also use permanent magnets as magnetic field elements, such as arranging magnetic plates made of permanent magnets on the top and bottom of the drawer. In addition, electromagnetic coils and permanent magnets can also be used in combination to generate a magnetic field.

[0083] The magnetic field helps to improve the storage quality, can shorten the freezing time, reduce the loss rate of food juice and nutrients, reduce the number of microorganisms and bacteria, and prolong the preservation period. And the magnetic field preservation device 20 is configured to form a surrounding air duct that makes the air flow from the air inlet 231 to the top wall 221 of the barrel 22, the front baffle 215 of the drawer 21, the space below the drawer bottom plate, and returns to the air outlet 232, to cool the preservation space 23. Further, the magnetic field cooperates with the temperature control to cool the preservation space 23 using the surrounding air duct, and the cold air can also timely remove the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil during operation, avoiding temperature fluctuations in the preservation space 23, and the combined effect of temperature and magnetic field improves the preservation effect of food in the preservation space 23.
