[0075] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 The atomization system 120 and the atomization control method and atomization control device thereof according to the first embodiment of the present invention are described.
[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the atomization system 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water tank 121, an atomization plate 124 and a driving assembly.
[0077] The water tank 121 is provided with at least two atomizing ports 123. There are at least two atomizing sheets 124, with different atomizing sheets 124 being mounted on different atomizing ports 123. The driving assembly is electrically connected to all the atomizing sheets 124 and is adapted to drive all the atomizing sheets 124 to operate.
[0078] According to the atomization system 120 of the embodiment of the present invention, since a plurality of atomization ports 123 are provided, the atomization system 120 has a wider spray coverage area and sprays the food more evenly.
[0079] It should be noted that the atomization system 120 of the present invention can be applied to application scenarios such as refrigerators, freezers, and aquatic product freezing production lines. The present invention does not specifically limit the application scenarios of the atomization system 120, as long as the application scenario requires ice coating of food.
[0080] Taking the atomization system 120 applied to a refrigerator as an example, multiple atomization ports 123 are respectively suitable for connecting to different refrigeration compartments of the refrigerator. Since multiple atomization ports 123 are provided, different refrigeration compartments of the refrigerator can be connected through multiple atomization ports 123, thereby providing mist for multiple refrigeration compartments of the refrigerator, thereby achieving the requirements of moisturizing, preserving, or ice-coating the food inside the refrigeration compartment. Only one set of atomization system 120 can meet the use requirements of different refrigeration compartments, with a simple structure and easy assembly.
[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, different atomization ports 123 are respectively connected to the fresh-keeping compartment and the ice-plating compartment for explanation: the atomization port 123 connected to the fresh-keeping compartment can spray into the fresh-keeping compartment through the atomization plate 124, and the mist can increase the humidity in the fresh-keeping compartment, thereby ensuring that the food in the fresh-keeping compartment is always in a suitable humidity environment, thereby extending the shelf life of the food and avoiding problems such as the food drying out due to lack of moisture.
[0082] The atomizing port 123 connected to the ice-plating chamber can spray into the ice-plating chamber through the atomizing sheet 124. The mist can coat the food with ice. Compared with the method of using water flow to coat ice in related technologies, the atomizing ice-plating method does not require a drainage structure to be set in the ice-plating chamber, so that the overall structure of the refrigerator is simpler. Moreover, due to the diffusion effect of the mist, the effect of coating the food with ice can be better, and the ice glaze condensed on the food is more uniform and of moderate thickness.
[0083] In summary, in this embodiment, the atomization system 120 can not only keep the food in the fresh-keeping room fresh and moisturizing, but also can coat the food in the ice-coating room with ice.
[0084] Of course, the above embodiment is only one of many embodiments of the present invention, and its purpose is only to exemplify and highlight the multiple effects of the atomization system 120, and does not constitute a specific limitation on the atomization system 120 of the present invention.
[0085] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the number of atomization ports 123 can be 2, 3, 4, etc. Different atomization ports 123 can be connected to different refrigeration compartments such as the fresh-keeping compartment, the ice-plating compartment, the live-keeping compartment, the refrigeration compartment 112 or the freezing compartment 113 respectively. The present invention does not impose any special restrictions on the number of atomization ports 123 and the type of refrigeration compartment connected to the atomization ports 123, as long as there are at least two atomization ports 123 and they are respectively connected to different refrigeration compartments.
[0086] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the driving assembly may include only one driving plate 310, that is, one driving plate 310 drives multiple atomizing plates 124 to work; or, the driving assembly may also include multiple driving plates 310, and the multiple driving plates 310 are respectively connected to the multiple atomizing plates 124 and drive them to work.
[0087] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a driving plate 310 and a transmission switch. There is only one driving plate 310, and the transmission switch is suitable for controlling the connection and disconnection between all the atomizing plates 124 and the same driving plate 310.
[0088] In this way, there is no need to set up multiple driving plates 310. All the atomizing plates 124 can be driven by one driving plate 310, which has a simple structure, is easy to assemble, and has a low cost.
[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission switch includes a first coupler 320 and a second coupler 330 .
[0090] The first coupler 320 is electrically connected to the driving plate 310 , and both the first coupler 320 and the driving plate 310 are suitable for being fixed to the refrigerator body. The second coupler 330 is fixed to the water tank 121 , and the second coupler 330 is electrically connected to the atomizing plate 124 .
[0091] In this way, the connection between the driving plate 310 and the atomizing plate 124 is achieved by coupling between the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330, and the disconnection between the driving plate 310 and the atomizing plate 124 is achieved by disconnecting the coupling between the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330. In addition, the second coupler 330 can also play a role in power distribution. The user can adjust the distribution ratio of the second coupler 330 to adjust the power of multiple atomizing plates 124, thereby achieving the effect of changing the atomization degree of the atomizing plates 124, making it convenient for the user to adjust the atomization degree of different atomizing plates 124 according to actual needs.
[0092] Of course, the transmission switch may also adopt other structures besides the coupler, and the present invention does not impose any special limitation here.
[0093] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the water tank 121 can be detachably mounted on the refrigerator body to switch between a disassembled state and an installed state. In the installed state, the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330 are coupled to connect the drive plate 310 and at least two atomizing plates 124.
[0094] In this embodiment, when the water tank 121 needs to be added with water, the water tank 121 can be removed from the box body. When the water tank 121 is in a disassembled state, the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330 are disconnected. When the water tank 121 is reinstalled on the box body, the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330 contact and couple, thereby realizing the driving plate 310 to drive the atomizing plate 124.
[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first coupler 320 and the driving plate 310 are both fixed on the mounting bracket 370 .
[0096] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the atomization port 123 includes a first atomization port (not shown in the figure) and a second atomization port (not shown in the figure), and the first atomization port and the second atomization port are respectively arranged on the opposite side walls of the water tank 121; correspondingly, the atomization plate 124 includes a first atomization plate 1241 and a second atomization plate 1242.
[0097] In this way, by respectively arranging the first atomization port and the second atomization port on the opposite side walls of the water tank 121, the positions of the first atomization port and the second atomization port can be more matched with the layout of the refrigeration compartment, so that the water tank 121 can be installed in the insulation layer 430 between the two refrigeration compartments, and sufficient contact between the water in the water tank 121 and the first atomization plate 1241 and the second atomization plate 1242 can be ensured.
[0098] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the atomization system 120 further includes a fixing component 340 .
[0099] The fixing component 340 includes a first fixing frame (not shown in the figure) and a second fixing frame (not shown in the figure), the first fixing frame is formed with a first mist outlet (not shown in the figure), the second fixing frame is formed with a fixing groove (not shown in the figure) for installing the atomizing plate 124 and a second mist outlet (not shown in the figure), the first fixing frame is used to fix the second fixing frame to the water tank 121, and the first mist outlet, the second mist outlet, the fixing groove and the atomizing outlet 123 are connected to each other.
[0100] In this way, the first fixing frame can be used to fix the atomizing plate 124, and the second fixing frame is used to fix the first fixing frame and the atomizing plate 124 in the fixing groove thereof to the water tank 121, thereby achieving the fixation and installation of the atomizing plate 124, with a firm structure and good sealing effect, and can prevent the atomizing plate 124 from loosening due to high-frequency vibration.
[0101] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a locking member (not shown in the figure) is provided on the outer surface of the side wall of the water tank 121, and the first fixing frame is engaged with the locking member.
[0102] In this way, the fixing member 340 and the water tank 121 can be stably installed, and the structure is simple and easy to assemble. Of course, the fixing method of the fixing member 340 and the water tank 121 is not limited to this. The fixing member 340 can also be fixed to the water tank 121 using other structures, such as a screw and nut structure, a matching groove structure, etc.
[0103] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a matching groove (not shown) is provided on the outer surface of the side wall of the water tank 121, and the second fixing frame is adapted to the matching groove. In this way, the second fixing frame can be matched in the matching groove to be more stable.
[0104] like Figure 1 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a first sealing member 351 is provided between the atomizing sheet 124 and the water tank 121 ; and / or a second sealing member 361 is provided between the atomizing sheet 124 and the fixing component 340 .
[0105] In this way, the first sealing member 351 can seal the gap between the atomizing sheet 124 and the water tank 121, and the second sealing member 361 can seal the gap between the atomizing sheet 124 and the fixing member 340, thereby preventing water from leaking out of the water tank 121 through the gap near the atomizing sheet 124, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the water tank 121. For example, the first sealing member 351 and the second sealing member 361 can be structures such as rubber rings and sealing gaskets. The present invention is not particularly limited here, as long as the first sealing member 351 and the second sealing member 361 can perform a sealing function.
[0106] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first sealing member 351 includes an elastic support member (not shown) and an elastic member (not shown). The elastic support member is formed with an elastic groove (not shown) open toward its center, and the elastic member fits within the elastic groove. The structure of the second sealing member 361 is similar to that of the first sealing member 351 and will not be further described here.
[0107] In this embodiment, the elastic support member is a closed annular structure similar to a spring. The elastic groove can not only perform elastic compression and sealing functions, but also leave vibration space for the atomizing plate 124 to vibrate, thereby avoiding the formation of a gap between the end face of the elastic member and the atomizing plate 124. In addition, when the elastic member is fitted into the elastic groove, the overall elastic force of the first sealing member 351 is greater, thereby improving the compression effect of the first sealing member 351 on the atomizing plate 124, thereby improving the sealing effect of the atomizing plate 124.
[0108] In one embodiment of the present invention, the atomizing plate 124 is disc-shaped, and correspondingly, the elastic support member is annular. An elastic groove is formed on the inner side of the elastic support member, opening toward its center. The cross-section of the elastic support member along its diameter is V-shaped or U-shaped. A spring (i.e., an elastic member) is fitted within the elastic groove of the elastic support member.
[0109] like Figure 2 As shown, the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention includes the atomization system 120 as in the first embodiment of the present invention, and also includes a cabinet.
[0110] The box body is formed with at least two refrigeration compartments, and the atomizing system 120 is installed in the box body. The atomizing system 120 is suitable for spraying into the at least two refrigeration compartments.
[0111] The effect of the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention is similar to that of the atomization system 120 of the first aspect of the present invention, and will not be described in detail here.
[0112] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the atomization port 123 includes a first atomization port and a second atomization port, and the first atomization port and the second atomization port are respectively arranged on the opposite side walls of the water tank 121; correspondingly, the atomization plate 124 includes a first atomization plate 1241 and a second atomization plate 1242.
[0113] like Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration compartment includes a first compartment 410 and a second compartment 420, which are arranged side by side and separated by an insulation layer 430. The atomization system 120 is installed in the insulation layer 430, with the first atomization port facing and communicating with the first compartment 410, and the second atomization port facing and communicating with the second compartment 420.
[0114] In this way, by installing the atomizing system 120 in the thermal insulation layer 430 , it is possible to avoid occupying the space inside the refrigeration compartment, thereby meeting the installation requirements while ensuring that the volume of the refrigeration compartment is not affected.
[0115] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, a mounting groove (not shown in the figure) is provided in the insulation layer 430, the drive plate 310 and the first coupler 320 are fixed in the mounting groove through the mounting bracket 370, the second coupler 330 is fixed to the water tank 121, and the second coupler 330 is respectively connected to the first atomizing plate 1241 and the second atomizing plate 1242.
[0116] The water tank 121 is detachably installed in the installation groove. The user can take the water tank 121 out of the installation groove to add water. After the user installs the water tank 121 into the installation groove, the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330 are coupled to connect the drive plate 310 with the first atomizing plate 1241 and the second atomizing plate 1242.
[0117] like Figure 3 As shown, according to the atomization control method of the refrigerator of the third embodiment of the present invention, when all the atomization plates 124 are connected to the same driving plate 310, the atomization control method includes: controlling at least two atomization plates 124 to spray alternately.
[0118] According to the atomization control method of an embodiment of the present invention, since the driving plate 310 cannot simultaneously control multiple atomizing plates 124 to atomize when multiple driving plates 310 are connected to the same driving plate 310, this method adopts a method of controlling multiple atomizing plates 124 to spray alternately to meet the spraying requirements in different refrigeration compartments of the refrigerator.
[0119] In summary, the atomization control method of the present invention can spray multiple refrigeration compartments by controlling multiple atomization plates 124 to spray alternately, and the spraying processes will not affect each other, thereby meeting the requirements of ice coating, preservation or keeping alive of food in different refrigeration compartments.
[0120] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the atomizing plate 124 includes a first atomizing plate 1241 and a second atomizing plate 1242 , and the atomizing port 123 includes a first atomizing port and a second atomizing port. The first atomizing port is connected to the first chamber 410 , and the second atomizing port is connected to the second chamber 420 .
[0121] like Figure 3 As shown, the step of controlling at least two atomizing sheets 124 to spray alternately includes:
[0122] Acquire the state of the first atomizing plate 1241 and the state of the second atomizing plate 1242;
[0123] Determining that the first atomizing plate 1241 is in a stopped state and that food exists in the second chamber 420 of the refrigerator, controlling the second atomizing plate 1242 to operate so as to coat the food in the second chamber 420 with ice;
[0124] It is determined that the second atomizing plate 1242 is in a stopped state, and it is determined that food exists in the first chamber 410 of the refrigerator, and the first atomizing plate 1241 is controlled to operate to moisturize the food in the first chamber 410 .
[0125] In this embodiment, the first compartment 410 can be a fresh-keeping compartment or a live-keeping compartment within the refrigerator, and the second compartment 420 can be an ice-coating compartment within the refrigerator. This method can thus ensure both the ice-coating requirements of the food in the ice-coating compartment and the fresh-keeping or live-keeping compartments, while also ensuring that the different refrigeration compartments do not affect each other, and can simultaneously meet the spray requirements of both the first compartment 410 and the second compartment 420.
[0126] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of determining that the first atomizing plate 1241 is in a stopped state and that food is present in the second chamber 420 of the refrigerator, and controlling the second atomizing plate 1242 to operate so as to coat the food in the second chamber 420 with ice:
[0127] Determining that the first atomizing plate 1241 is in a stopped state and that food is present in the second compartment 420 of the refrigerator, and obtaining a detected temperature of the second compartment 420;
[0128] It is determined that the detected temperature is within the set temperature range, and the second atomizing plate 1242 is controlled to operate.
[0129] In this embodiment, since the food in the second chamber 420 needs to be coated with ice, in order to achieve a better effect of coating the food with ice, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature in the second chamber 420 meets the temperature requirement for coating the food with ice.
[0130] To this end, this method detects the temperature of second chamber 420 and compares the detected temperature with a set temperature range to determine whether second chamber 420 meets the temperature requirements for ice coating. If the detected temperature is within the set temperature range, the ice coating of the food is effective, and the ice coating on the food is not easy to melt after ice coating. If the detected temperature is higher than the set temperature range, the ice coating of the food is poor, and the ice coating is not easy to form or easily melts after forming.
[0131] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of determining that the detected temperature is within the set temperature range and controlling the operation of the second atomizing plate 1242:
[0132] Determining that the detected temperature is within a set temperature range, and obtaining a status of a damper of the refrigerator that supplies air to the second compartment 420;
[0133] Determine that the damper is in the closed state, control the second atomizing plate 1242 to work, or,
[0134] Determine that the damper is in the open state, control the damper to close, and control the second atomizing plate 1242 to work.
[0135] In this embodiment, since the food is coated with ice by atomization, it is necessary to ensure that the mist sprayed by the atomization system 120 falls on the surface of the food as much as possible. However, the refrigeration room is usually cooled by blowing cold air through a damper, and the cold air blown by the damper may have a negative impact on the atomization and ice coating process.
[0136] To this end, before controlling the operation of the second atomizing plate 1242, this method determines the state of the damper of the refrigerator that supplies air to the second chamber 420, and performs the atomization and ice-plating process while ensuring that the damper is closed, thereby ensuring that the mist will not be affected by the cold wind during the ice-plating process, preventing the cold wind from blowing the mist away, and thus allowing the mist sprayed by the atomizing system 120 to fall on the surface of the food as much as possible, thereby achieving a better ice-plating effect on the food.
[0137] The atomization control device of the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a first control module, and the first control module is used to control at least two atomization plates 124 to spray alternately.
[0138] Figure 4 An example of a physical structure diagram of an electronic device is shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the electronic device may include: a processor 810, a communication interface 820, a memory 830, and a communication bus 840, wherein the processor 810, the communication interface 820, and the memory 830 communicate with each other via the communication bus 840. The processor 810 may call the logic instructions in the memory 830 to execute the following method: controlling at least two atomizing sheets 124 to spray alternately.
[0139] In addition, the logic instructions in the above-mentioned memory 830 can be implemented in the form of a software functional unit and can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium when sold or used as an independent product. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present invention, or the part that contributes to the prior art, or the part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium and includes several instructions for enabling a computer device (which can be a personal computer, a server, or a network device, etc.) to perform all or part of the steps of the various embodiments of the present invention. The aforementioned storage medium includes: various media that can store program codes, such as a USB flash drive, a mobile hard disk, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.
[0140] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a computer program product, which includes a computer program stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium. The computer program includes program instructions. When the program instructions are executed by a computer, the computer can execute the methods provided by the above-mentioned method embodiments, for example, including: controlling at least two atomizing plates 124 to spray alternately.
[0141] On the other hand, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which a computer program is stored. When the computer program is executed by a processor, it is implemented to execute the transmission method provided in the above embodiments, for example, including: controlling at least two atomizing plates 124 to spray alternately.
[0142] The first embodiment described above is an embodiment of the present invention proposed on the basis of a plurality of atomization ports 123 . The following will introduce a second embodiment of the present invention in which the number of atomization ports 123 is not limited.
[0143] The following is based on Figure 5 The ice plating method of a refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0144] The ice plating method for a refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0145] S100: Determine whether food exists in the ice-plating compartment of the refrigerator, and obtain the detected temperature of the ice-plating compartment.
[0146] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a controller is used as an example component for executing an ice-plating method for a refrigerator. The controller first detects whether there is food in the ice-plating compartment of the refrigerator. If there is food in the ice-plating compartment, the controller detects the temperature inside the ice-plating compartment to determine whether the detected temperature inside the ice-plating compartment is within the temperature range required for ice plating.
[0147] In some embodiments of the present invention, the above-mentioned "determining whether there is food in the ice-plating room of the refrigerator" can be achieved through various detection methods. For example, an image sensor (such as a camera or other components) is provided in the refrigerator, and the image sensor is used to determine whether there is food in the ice-plating room and send it to the controller in the form of a signal; or an infrared sensor is provided at the entrance of the ice-plating room, and the infrared sensor can detect whether the user has placed food in the ice-plating room and send it to the controller in the form of a signal; or a weight sensor is provided at the bottom of the ice-plating room, and the weight sensor determines whether there is food in the ice-plating room by monitoring the overall weight of the ice-plating room. Of course, the above embodiments are only some of the many embodiments of the present invention and do not constitute a limitation of the present invention. The present method can also detect food in the ice-plating room through other detection methods, and no special limitation is made here.
[0148] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned "obtaining the detection temperature of the icing compartment" can be achieved by a temperature sensor or the like, wherein the detection temperature is the real-time temperature of the icing compartment, and the purpose of obtaining the detection temperature is to determine whether the temperature inside the icing compartment meets the temperature requirement for icing.
[0149] In S200, the detection temperature is determined to be within the set temperature range, and the atomization system 120 of the refrigerator is controlled to start spraying into the icing compartment.
[0150] In S200, the set temperature range refers to the temperature range required by the food during the icing process. The set temperature range can be obtained by default setting of the system or by user setting, which is not particularly limited in the present application.
[0151] It should be explained that the icing compartment refers to a refrigeration compartment for the purpose of icing food. The icing compartment is not necessarily a freezing compartment 113. In the present method, in order to ensure the preservation of food inside the icing compartment, the icing compartment can also be a microcrystalline compartment, a variable-temperature compartment, or other refrigeration compartments with a temperature above zero degrees.
[0152] It can be understood that, since the temperature range of the icing compartment does not necessarily meet the temperature requirement for icing, the detection temperature of the icing compartment is obtained through S100, and S200 is further executed to start atomization icing of the food under the premise that the temperature of the icing compartment meets the icing requirement, so that the icing effect of the food is better.
[0153] In the related art, the food in the refrigerator is usually iced by using the water spraying method. However, in the above-mentioned icing method, the sprayed water flow is easy to accumulate in the refrigeration compartment, so an additional drainage component needs to be provided for internal drainage of the compartment. In addition, a large amount of accumulated water is easy to freeze in the refrigeration compartment, so a sensor and a heating device need to be provided in the refrigeration compartment, resulting in a complex overall structure of the refrigerator and high cost.
[0154] Therefore, S200 of the present method uses the atomization method to ice the food. The mist sprayed by the atomization system 120 can condense into ice on the surface of the food. Compared with the water spraying icing method in the related art, the present method can avoid excessive storage of water in the icing compartment, so that a drainage structure does not need to be provided. In addition, by spraying mist onto the surface of the food, the purpose of point freezing without frosting can be achieved without the need to provide an additional heating structure. In summary, the atomization icing method used in the present method simplifies the overall structure of the refrigerator and reduces the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator.
[0155] In summary, the ice-plating method for a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the present invention controls the temperature conditions in the ice-plating room to ensure the ice-plating effect of the food, thereby ensuring the freshness and moisture retention of the food and extending the storage period of the food; in addition, since an atomized ice-plating method is adopted, there is no need to set up additional drainage structures and heating structures inside the refrigerator, thereby simplifying the refrigerator structure and reducing the cost of the refrigerator.
[0156] In some embodiments of the present invention, since the specific size of the set temperature range is related to factors such as the type of food and the required shelf life of the food, the ice plating method may further include:
[0157] Determine the set temperature range based on the shelf life input by the user;
[0158] Alternatively, the set temperature range is determined based on the type of food in the ice plating room.
[0159] Let's take the example of how different types of food affect the set temperature range: Different food types have different preservation standards, and these standards will lead to different requirements for the coverage and thickness of the glaze. Consequently, these standards inevitably lead to different temperatures required for glazing, and therefore different set temperature ranges. For example, if the food is ordinary meat, the set temperature range can be limited to below zero degrees Celsius. However, if the food is deep-sea seafood, the set temperature range should be lower to ensure the food's freshness.
[0160] Taking the effect of different shelf life requirements of food ingredients on the set temperature range as an example, the principle is similar to the principle of the effect of food type on the set temperature range, so it will not be repeated here. For example, if the shelf life of the food ingredients is required to be one day, the glaze coated on the food ingredients cannot be too thick, so the set temperature range can be limited to below zero degrees and above minus three degrees, so as to ensure that the thickness of the food glaze is moderate. It is understandable that if the food glaze is too thick, it will take too long for the food ingredients to thaw, which will cause the user to spend too much time handling the food ingredients, which will seriously affect the user experience.
[0161] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the step of determining that the detected temperature is within the set temperature range and controlling the atomization system 120 of the refrigerator to start spraying into the ice plating room:
[0162] Determining that the detected temperature is within a set temperature range, and obtaining the status of a damper of the refrigerator that delivers cold air to the ice-plating compartment;
[0163] If the damper is determined to be in a closed state, the atomizing system 120 is controlled to start spraying into the ice plating room; or, if the damper is determined to be in an open state, the damper is controlled to be closed, and the atomizing system 120 is controlled to start spraying into the ice plating room.
[0164] In the embodiment, when the controller determines that the temperature of the icing compartment is in the set temperature range, i.e., the detected temperature is in the temperature range required for icing, the controller detects the state of the damper of the refrigerator, where the damper refers to the damper of the refrigerator for conveying cold air to the icing compartment, if it is detected that the damper is closed, the controller controls the atomization system 120 to start spraying, if it is detected that the damper is in an open state, the controller controls the damper to be closed, and then controls the atomization system 120 to start spraying.
[0165] In this way, since the damper continuously blows cold air into the icing compartment when the damper is opened, if the spraying is started at this time, the mist sprayed by the spraying device will be blown away by the cold air blown by the damper, which will affect the icing effect of the food material, therefore, the method needs to detect the specific state of the damper before starting the atomization system 120, so as to ensure that the damper is in a closed state when the atomization system 120 sprays, so as to avoid that the cold air blows away the mist, and thus the mist can accurately cover the surface of the food material, thereby ensuring the icing effect of the food material.
[0166] In an embodiment of the present application, a door opening and closing sensor can be arranged at the damper of the icing compartment, the door opening and closing sensor can monitor the opening and closing state of the damper, and send the state of the damper to the controller in the form of a signal. For example, the door opening and closing sensor can be an infrared sensor, etc.
[0167] According to an embodiment of the present application, in the step of determining that the detected temperature is in the set temperature range, the controller controls the atomization system 120 of the refrigerator to start spraying mist into the icing compartment:
[0168] determining that the detected temperature is in the set temperature range, obtaining the state of the damper and the water level of the water tank 121 of the atomization system 120;
[0169] determining that the damper is in a closed state and the water level of the water tank 121 is not lower than the minimum water level standard, and controlling the atomization system 120 to start spraying mist into the icing compartment.
[0170] In the embodiment, when the controller detects that the detected temperature is in the set temperature range, the damper is in a closed state, and the water level of the water tank 121 is not lower than the minimum water level standard, i.e., the controller detects that the temperature condition, the damper condition and the water level condition all meet the preset state, the controller controls the atomization system 120 to start spraying.
[0171] In an embodiment of the present application, a water level sensor can be arranged in the water tank 121, for detecting the water level state and sending the water level state to the controller in the form of a signal.
[0172] According to a sensor of the present invention, after the step of controlling the atomizing system 120 of the refrigerator to start spraying into the ice plating room, the further step includes: controlling the atomizing system 120 to perform cyclic spraying according to a spraying cycle.
[0173] The atomization system 120 has a working state and a stopping state. The working state lasts for a first set time period in each spray cycle, and the stopping state lasts for a second set time period in each spray cycle.
[0174] In this way, by controlling the atomizing system 120 to circulate and spray, power can be saved, and the atomizing system 120 needs to be in a spraying state all the time, and the icing effect of the food will not be greatly affected. That is, while ensuring the icing effect, energy power is greatly saved.
[0175] In one embodiment of the present invention, the atomizing system 120 may continue spraying for a duration of T2 after a duration of T1, and perform a cyclic spraying cycle. For example, the atomizing system 120 may continue spraying for one minute every four hours and forty-seven minutes. Of course, the present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the first set duration and the second set duration, and the user may set the values of the two durations according to actual circumstances.
[0176] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in the step of controlling the atomizing system 120 to perform cyclic spraying according to the spraying cycle: the damper is controlled to open and deliver cold air into the ice plating room when the atomizing system 120 is in a stopped state.
[0177] Since the damper of the atomizing system 120 is in a closed state during the spraying process, that is, there is no cold input to the ice-coating chamber, if the spraying is continued for too long, the temperature inside the ice-coating chamber will rise, and even the temperature of the ice-coating chamber will be higher than the set temperature range. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the atomizing system 120 is in a stopped state (that is, when the atomizing system 120 is not spraying), the controller controls the damper to reopen so that the damper can transport cold air to the ice-coating chamber, thereby preventing the temperature of the ice-coating chamber from rising, so that the food can always be kept at a suitable temperature condition (that is, within the set temperature range) for ice-coating, thereby ensuring the ice-coating effect of the food.
[0178] In one embodiment of the present invention, the atomizing system 120 can continue spraying for a period of time T2 at intervals of time T1, and perform a cyclic spraying cycle. During the period of time T1 when the atomizing system 120 stops spraying, the controller controls the damper to open and cool the ice-coating chamber. When the period of time T1 ends, the controller controls the damper to close again, and then the atomizing system 120 continues spraying for a period of time T2. During the period of time T2, the damper remains closed. Afterwards, the atomizing system 120 stops spraying again, and the damper opens to continue cooling until the atomizing system 120 starts spraying. This method continuously repeats the above process to achieve ice coating of the food.
[0179] According to one embodiment of the present invention, after the step of controlling the atomization system 120 of the refrigerator to start spraying into the ice plating room:
[0180] Determining that the detected temperature is higher than the set temperature range, controlling the atomization system 120 to stop spraying, and controlling the damper to open until the detected temperature is within the set temperature range;
[0181] When it is determined that the detected temperature is within the set temperature range, the damper is controlled to close, and the atomizing system 120 is controlled to continue spraying into the ice plating room.
[0182] In this embodiment, after the atomizing system 120 starts spraying, the controller constantly monitors the real-time temperature inside the ice-coating compartment via a temperature sensor. When the controller detects that the temperature in the ice-coating compartment has risen above a set temperature range, the controller controls the atomizing device to immediately stop spraying and controls the damper to open to continue cooling the ice-coating compartment until the temperature in the ice-coating compartment drops back to the set temperature range. When the temperature in the ice-coating compartment returns to the set temperature range, the ice-coating compartment meets the temperature requirements for ice-coating food, and the controller controls the atomizing system 120 to resume spraying.
[0183] In this way, when the temperature of the ice-coating chamber rises back to above the set temperature range, if the atomizing system 120 continues to spray to coat the food with ice, the ice-coating effect of the food will be very poor. Therefore, by adopting the method described in this embodiment, it is possible to avoid the atomizing system 120 from doing useless work during the spraying process, ensuring that the temperature of the ice-coating chamber can always be within the set temperature range during the spraying process, thereby ensuring the ice-coating effect of the food.
[0184] It should be noted that the above embodiment only requires that the damper is in a closed state during the spraying process of the atomizing system 120, and the present invention does not limit the state of the damper when the atomizing system 120 stops spraying. When the atomizing system 120 stops spraying, the damper can be in a closed state or in an open state. The present invention does not make any special limitations on this.
[0185] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the set temperature range is -7°C to 0°C. For example, the set temperature range is -7°C to 6°C. Of course, the present invention is not particularly limited here, as long as the set temperature range can meet the temperature conditions required for ice plating of food.
[0186] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice-coating method for a refrigerator further includes: determining that food has been removed from the ice-coating compartment and ceasing to acquire the detected temperature. Specifically, when the controller detects that food is not present in the ice-coating compartment, the controller stops the ice-coating cycle and the compartment enters normal cooling mode. This saves energy and prevents the atomization system 120 from wasting work.
[0187] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice plating method for a refrigerator further includes:
[0188] It is determined that the water level of the water tank 121 of the atomizing system 120 is lower than the minimum water level standard, and the reminder device of the refrigerator is controlled to issue a water shortage reminder.
[0189] In this way, the user can know the water level status of the water tank 121 and can add water to the water tank 121 in time to prevent the atomization system 120 from being unable to atomize ice due to lack of water. The reminder device can be a light reminder device, a vibration reminder device, or a sound reminder device, etc., which is not particularly limited in the present invention.
[0190] The following is based on Figure 6 and Figure 7 A refrigerator according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0191] The refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a controller, an atomization system 120 and a cabinet (not shown in the figure).
[0192] The controller is used to execute the ice-plating method of the refrigerator according to the second embodiment of the present invention; the refrigerator body is formed with an ice-plating chamber, and the atomizing system 120 is installed in the refrigerator body and is suitable for spraying into the ice-plating chamber.
[0193] The effect of the refrigerator according to the embodiment of the present invention is similar to that of the ice plating method for the refrigerator according to the first aspect of the present invention, and will not be described in detail here.
[0194] like Figure 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the atomization system 120 includes a water tank 121, an atomization plate 124 and a driving assembly.
[0195] The water tank 121 is provided with an atomizing port 123 adapted to communicate with the ice plating chamber of the refrigerator; an atomizing plate 124 is installed in the atomizing port 123; and a driving assembly is electrically connected to the atomizing plate 124 and adapted to drive the atomizing plate 124 to operate.
[0196] like Figure 7As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the driving assembly includes a driving plate 310 and a transmission switch, and the transmission switch is suitable for controlling the on-off between the driving plate 310 and the atomizing plate 124 .
[0197] like Figure 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the transmission switch includes a first coupler 320 and a second coupler 330. The first coupler 320 is electrically connected to the drive plate 310, and both the first coupler 320 and the drive plate 310 are fixed to the box. The second coupler 330 is fixed to the water tank 121 and electrically connected to the atomizing plate 124;
[0198] The water tank 121 is detachably mounted on the housing to switch between a detached state and an installed state. In the installed state, the first coupler 320 and the second coupler 330 are coupled to connect the driving plate 310 and the atomizing plate 124 .
[0199] like Figure 7 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the refrigerator further includes a container 210. The container 210 is slidably disposed in the ice plating chamber, and the atomization system 120 is integrated into a side wall of the container 210 facing the external environment. For example, the container 210 can be a drawer.
[0200] The following is based on Figure 8 An ice plating device for a refrigerator according to a second embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0201] like Figure 8 As shown, the ice plating device of the refrigerator according to the third embodiment of the present invention includes:
[0202] The first acquisition module is used to determine whether there is food in the ice-plating room of the refrigerator and obtain the detection temperature of the ice-plating room;
[0203] The first control module is configured to determine that the detected temperature is within a set temperature range and control the atomization system 120 of the refrigerator to start spraying into the ice plating room.
[0204] It should also be noted that the atomization control method described in the first embodiment and the ice plating method described in the second embodiment can be implemented based on any ice plating equipment disclosed in the prior art, and the present invention does not impose any special restrictions thereon.
[0205] Reference below Figures 9 to 14 The ice plating device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0206] like Figures 9 to 14 As shown, the ice plating equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a container 210, a partition assembly and a spray assembly.
[0207] A storage space is formed within the container 210. A partition assembly is mounted on the container 210 and is adapted to divide the storage space into a first space 211 and a second space 212. The second space 212 is located below the first space 211. The partition assembly is movable relative to the container 210 to open and close the second space 212. The spray assembly is adapted to provide liquid required for ice plating to at least the first space 211.
[0208] According to the ice-coating equipment of an embodiment of the present invention, the spray assembly can coat the food located in the first space 211 with ice. After the food is coated with ice, the partition assembly can be moved to open the second space 212, and the food is placed in the second space 212. Thereafter, the partition assembly can be moved again to close the second space 212, so that the food after ice coating is stored in the sealed second space 212, thereby extending the shelf life of the food and ensuring that the food can maintain its original color and flavor, without losing nutrients and having an original fresh taste even during long-term storage; in addition, since the present invention reduces the contact between the food and the external environment to avoid the melting of the ice coat on the outer layer of the food, there is no need to coat the food with ice multiple times. Only one ice coating is required to achieve long-term preservation of the food, which is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and easy to operate.
[0209] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the container 210 is described below as a drawer placed in a compartment of a refrigerator. Without loss of generality, the container 210 can also be a box-shaped, chest-shaped structure, etc., and the present invention does not make special limitations here.
[0210] like Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a container 210 is upwardly open, and a partition assembly is disposed within the container 210 to divide the container space into a first space 211 and a second space 212. The first space 211 and the second space 212 are disposed one above the other. The first space 211 is located on the upper layer of the container 210 and is upwardly open, and the partition assembly forms the bottom wall of the first space 211. When the partition assembly closes the second space 212, the user can place food on the partition assembly, and the spray assembly can spray the first space 211 with liquid (e.g., mist or water) used for ice coating.
[0211] When the food is iced in the first space 211, the partition assembly is moved to open the second space 212. At this time, the iced food can be placed in the second space 212. After placing the food, the partition assembly is moved again to close the second space 212. Because the entrance to the second space 212 is closed at this time, the partition assembly, the bottom wall of the container 210 and part of the side wall jointly seal the second space 212, so that the food is in a closed storage state, thereby extending the shelf life of the food.
[0212] It should be noted that the above-mentioned moving food and moving the partition assembly can be achieved manually or automatically. Different structures of ice plating equipment using different moving methods will be described in detail below.
[0213] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the above-mentioned “partition assembly can move relative to the container 210 to open and close the second space 212”, the movement mode of the partition assembly can be telescopic relative to the container 210, slidable relative to the container 210, or partially detachable relative to the container 210, etc. The present invention does not make special limitations here, as long as the partition assembly can open and close the second space 212.
[0214] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the spray assembly may be a water spray assembly or a spray assembly, that is, the spray assembly can coat the food with ice by spraying water or mist. It should be noted that when the spray assembly coats the food with ice by spraying, no additional drainage structure is required within the container 210, thereby simplifying the structure of the container 210.
[0215] like Figure 9 and Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition assembly includes a fixed plate 221 and a sliding plate 222 , and the side wall of the fixed plate 221 and the side wall of the receiving member 210 jointly define the inlet and outlet 213 .
[0216] The sliding plate 222 slides relative to the fixed plate 221 to switch between an open position that opens the inlet and outlet 213 and a sealing position that closes the inlet and outlet 213 .
[0217] In the open position, the positive projection of the sliding plate 222 on the fixed plate 221 is located within the edge of the fixed plate 221, so that the inlet and outlet 213 are fully open; in the sealed position, the sliding plate 222 closes the inlet and outlet 213, so that the sliding plate 222 and the fixed plate 221 jointly seal the second space 212.
[0218] In this way, when it is necessary to coat the food in the first space 211 with ice, the sliding plate 222 can be slid to close the inlet and outlet 213, so that the food can be placed on the partition assembly for ice coating; when it is necessary to preserve the food after ice coating, the sliding plate 222 can be slid in the opposite direction to open the inlet and outlet 213, so that the food can enter the second space 212 through the inlet and outlet 213. After the food is placed in the second space 212, the sliding plate 222 is slid again to close the inlet and outlet 213, thereby achieving the closure of the second space 212 and ensuring the freshness preservation effect of the food.
[0219] The sliding of the sliding plate 222 in the aforementioned "sliding plate 222 slides relative to the fixed plate 221" can be achieved through various structures, such as a slide groove and slide rail structure, and the present invention does not impose any special restrictions thereon. In addition, the sliding plate 222 can be moved manually or automatically, and the present invention does not impose any special restrictions thereon.
[0220] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a lifting plate 223 is further provided in the container 210 , and the lifting plate 223 is arranged opposite to the inlet and outlet 213 in the up and down directions.
[0221] The lifting plate 223 is adapted to be lifted and lowered to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the lifting plate 223 is located in the first space 211 or in the access port 213 . In the second position, the lifting plate 223 is located in the second space 212 .
[0222] The specific working process of the ice-coating equipment provided with a lifting plate 223 is as follows: assuming that the lifting plate 223 is initially located in the second space 212 (i.e., the second position), when the food needs to be ice-coated, the sliding plate 222 can be slid to open the inlet and outlet 213, and the lifting plate 223 is controlled to rise and enter the second space 212 or the inlet and outlet 213 (i.e., the first position). After the food is placed on the lifting plate 223, the food is located in the first space 211, and then the spray assembly is controlled to ice-coat the food. After the food is ice-coated, the sliding plate 222 is controlled to descend to enter the second space 212 (i.e., the second position), and then the sliding plate 222 is slid to close the entrance, so that the ice-coated food is sealed and stored in the second space 212.
[0223] In summary, in this embodiment, by adding a lifting plate 223 within the container 210, food can be placed on the lifting plate 223 to achieve lifting and lowering of the food, thereby controlling the food's entry into the first space 211 or the second space 212. In this way, the user does not need to manually take the food; the position of the food can be controlled by controlling the lifting plate 223, thereby ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the food and making operation more convenient.
[0224] In addition, the lifting and lowering of the above-mentioned lifting plate 223 can be achieved through a variety of structures, such as the structure of a slide groove and slide rail, the structure of a screw and nut, etc., and the present invention does not impose any special restrictions on this. Moreover, the lifting plate 223 can be lifted and lowered manually or automatically, and the present invention does not impose any special restrictions on this.
[0225] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, in the first position, the lifting plate 223 is located in the inlet and outlet 213 , and the lifting plate 223 closes the inlet and outlet 213 , so that the fixing plate 221 and the lifting plate 223 jointly seal the second space 212 .
[0226] In this way, when the spray device coats ice on the food placed on the lifting plate 223, the lifting plate 223 closes the inlet and outlet 213, so the second space 212 is in a closed state, thereby preventing the liquid sprayed by the spray device from entering the second space 212, and preventing excessive liquid from being stored in the second space 212, thereby further ensuring the freshness of the food after ice coating in the second space 212.
[0227] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, one of the lifting plate 223 and the accommodating member 210 is provided with a first guide member, and one of the lifting plate 223 and the accommodating member 210 is provided with a second guide member cooperating with the first guide member, and at least one of the first guide member and the second guide member extends in the up and down direction.
[0228] In this way, the first guide member and the second guide member can guide the lifting plate 223, making the lifting process of the lifting plate 223 more stable. For example, the first guide member is a guide rod extending in the vertical direction, and the second guide member is a guide sleeve. The guide sleeve is mounted on the guide rod and fixed to the receiving member 210, and the guide rod is adapted to move up and down to drive the lifting plate 223 to move up and down; or the first guide member is a lead screw, and the second guide member is a lead nut. The lead screw is mounted on the lead screw and fixed to the receiving member 210, and the lead screw is adapted to rotate to drive the lifting plate 223 to move up and down.
[0229] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the lifting plate 223 is transmission-connected to the sliding plate 222 via a linkage component.
[0230] The sliding plate 222 switches between the open position and the sealing position to switch the lifting plate 223 between the first position and the second position. In the open position, the lifting plate 223 is located at the first position; in the sealing position, the lifting plate 223 is located at the second position.
[0231] In this embodiment, since a linkage component is provided, when either the sliding plate 222 or the lifting plate 223 moves, the other one will be driven to move, thereby achieving a linkage effect between the sliding plate 222 and the lifting plate 223 .
[0232] The specific working process of the ice-coating device equipped with a linkage component is as follows: Assuming that the lifting plate 223 is initially located in the second space 212 (i.e., the second position) and the sliding plate 222 is initially located in the sealed position, when the lifting plate 223 is controlled to rise to the first space 211 or the inlet and outlet 213 (i.e., the first position), the linkage component drives the sliding plate 222 to slide away from the inlet and outlet 213 until the sliding plate 222 moves to the open position. Then, food is placed on the lifting plate 223, and the spray assembly is controlled to coat the food with ice. After the ice coating is completed, the lifting plate 223 is controlled to descend to the second space 212 (i.e., the second position). At this time, the linkage component drives the sliding plate 222 to slide toward the inlet and outlet 213 until the sliding plate 222 moves to the sealed position, and finally the ice-coated food is sealed in the second space 212 to ensure the long-term freshness of the food.
[0233] In some embodiments of the present invention, the linkage component can be a gear structure, a conveyor belt structure, a connecting rod structure, etc. The present invention does not impose any special restrictions on the specific structure of the linkage component, as long as the linkage component can realize the linkage between the lifting plate 223 and the sliding plate 222.
[0234] like Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the linkage component is integrated into the sidewall of container 210 facing the outside. This avoids compressing the storage space within container 210, increasing the volume of the storage space and facilitating the storage of more food. For example, if container 210 is a drawer located within a refrigerator compartment, the linkage component is integrated into the sidewall of the drawer where the handle is located.
[0235] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the linkage component includes a first rack 231 , a first gear 232 , a second rack 233 and a second gear 234 .
[0236] The first rack 231 is fixed to the sliding plate 222, and the first rack 231 extends along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 222; the first gear 232 is engaged with the first rack 231; the second rack 233 is fixed to the lifting plate 223, and the second rack 233 extends along the lifting direction of the lifting plate 223; the second gear 234 is engaged with the first gear 232 and the second rack 233.
[0237] In this embodiment, the specific working process of the linkage component is as follows: assuming that the lifting plate 223 is initially located in the second space 212 (i.e., the second position), and the sliding plate 222 is initially located in the sealing position, then in the process of controlling the lifting plate 223 to rise to the first space 211 or the inlet and outlet 213 (i.e., the first position), the lifting plate 223 drives the second rack 233 to rise, the second rack 233 drives the second gear 234 to rotate, the second gear 234 drives the first gear 232 to rotate, the first gear 232 drives the first rack 231 to move in the direction away from the inlet and outlet 213, and the first rack 231 drives the sliding plate 222 to slide until the sliding plate 222 moves to the open position.
[0238] When the food is ice-coated, the lifting plate 223 is controlled to descend to the second space 212 (i.e., the second position). At this time, the lifting plate 223 drives the second rack 233 to descend, the second rack 233 drives the second gear 234 to rotate in the opposite direction, the second gear 234 drives the first gear 232 to rotate in the opposite direction, the first gear 232 drives the first rack 231 to move toward the direction close to the inlet and outlet 213, and the first rack 231 drives the sliding plate 222 to slide until the sliding plate 222 moves to the sealing position, so that the ice-coated food is finally sealed in the second space 212 to ensure the long-term freshness of the food.
[0239] like Figure 12 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first rack 231 and the second rack 233 are perpendicular to each other, and the first rack 231 is arranged horizontally and the second rack 233 is arranged vertically. The first rack 231 and the second rack 233 are both slidable relative to the accommodating member 210, and the first gear 232 and the second gear 234 are both rotatable relative to the accommodating member 210.
[0240] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the first rack 231 is slidably engaged with the first sliding groove 235, and the second rack 233 is slidably engaged with the second sliding groove 236, and both the first sliding groove 235 and the second sliding groove 236 are fixed to the receiving member 210. In this way, the first sliding groove 235 can guide the first rack 231, and the second sliding groove 236 can guide the second rack 233, thereby making the sliding process of the first rack 231 and the second rack 233 more stable.
[0241] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the ice plating device further includes an operating handle 240 , which is at least partially located outside the receiving member 210 .
[0242] The operating handle 240 is fixedly connected to the first rack 231, the sliding plate 222, the second rack 233 or the second gear 234, and the operating handle 240 can slide relative to the accommodating member 210; or, the operating handle 240 is fixedly connected to the first gear 232 or the second gear 234, and the operating handle 240 can rotate relative to the accommodating member 210.
[0243] In this embodiment, the user can control the lifting plate 223 or the sliding plate 222 by manually operating the operating handle 240, that is, the user manually controls the operating handle 240 to move up and down or slide back and forth, thereby controlling the movement of the lifting plate 223 or the sliding plate 222. In this way, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the stability is high.
[0244] According to another embodiment of the present invention, the ice plating equipment further includes a driving component (not shown in the figure).
[0245] The driving component is connected to the first rack 231, the sliding plate 222, the second rack 233 or the second gear 234, and the driving component is a linear driving component; or the driving component is connected to the first gear 232 or the second gear 234, and the driving component is a rotational driving component.
[0246] In this embodiment, the user can control the movement of the lifting plate 223 or the sliding plate 222 by starting the driving component. In this way, automatic control is achieved, the user experience is improved, and it is more high-tech and convenient.
[0247] In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving component is a cylinder, the cylinder body of the cylinder is fixed to the accommodating member 210, the propulsion rod of the cylinder is fixed to the first rack 231 or the sliding plate 222 and is suitable for extension and retraction; or, the propulsion rod of the cylinder is fixed to the second rack 233 or the lifting plate 223 and is suitable for lifting up and down.
[0248] In other embodiments of the present invention, the driving component is a motor, which is fixed to the receiving member 210 , and the rotating shaft of the motor is connected to the first gear 232 or the second gear 234 .
[0249] like Figure 12 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, one of the accommodating member 210 and the sliding plate 222 is provided with a third guide member, and one of the accommodating member 210 and the sliding plate 222 is provided with a fourth guide member cooperating with the third guide member, and at least one of the third guide member and the fourth guide member extends in the horizontal direction.
[0250] In this way, the third guide and the fourth guide can guide the sliding plate 222, so that the sliding process of the sliding plate 222 is more stable and smooth. For example, the third guide and the fourth guide can be a guide rod guide sleeve structure, or a screw and nut structure, which is not limited in the present application.
[0251] As shown in Figure 12 According to one embodiment of the present application, the fixed plate 221 is provided with a sandwich layer 2211, and the sliding plate 222 is slidably fitted in the sandwich layer 2211. In this way, when the sliding plate 222 is in the sealing position, the sandwich layer 2211 can improve the sealing performance of the second space 212, preventing the liquid sprayed by the spraying assembly from entering the second space 212 through the gap between the sliding plate 222 and the fixed plate 221.
[0252] As shown in Figure 12 According to one embodiment of the present application, the inner wall of the inlet and outlet 213 is provided with a sealing groove 2212; and in the sealing position, the sliding plate 222 is fitted in the sealing groove 2212. In this way, when the sliding plate 222 is in the sealing position, the sealing groove 2212 can further improve the sealing performance of the second space 212, preventing the liquid from entering the second space 212 through the gap along the edge of the sliding plate 222.
[0253] As shown in Figure 14 According to one embodiment of the present application, the spraying assembly is an atomization system 120, which includes a water tank 121 and an atomization sheet 124. The water tank 121 is provided with an atomization port 123, and the atomization sheet 124 is installed on the outlet. That is, the spraying assembly sprays mist to coat ice on the food.
[0254] The water tank 121 is fixed to the side wall of the containing member 210 facing the outside, and the atomization port 123 is in communication with the first space 211.
[0255] In this way, compared with the ice-coating method of spraying water in the related art, the ice-coating method of spraying mist adopted in the present embodiment can simplify the overall structure of the ice-coating device without setting a drainage structure, and by spraying mist to humidify the containing member 210, the purpose of point icing without frosting is achieved. In addition, by using the ice-coating method of spraying mist to coat ice on the food in the containing member 210, the average humidity inside the containing member 210 can be ensured to be above 75%, and the humidity in the second space 212 can also be maintained above 75%.
[0256] According to one embodiment of the present application, the ice-coating device further includes an induction switch (not shown in the figure). The induction switch is used to control the ice-coating chamber to stop working after the ice-coating is completed. In this way, automatic control of the ice-coating device can be realized, and the device can be prevented from running when there is no food in the containing member 210.
[0257] The present invention also protects a refrigerator, including the ice plating device of the refrigerator according to the third embodiment of the present invention.
[0258] Two specific embodiments of an ice plating device for a refrigerator according to the third embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0259] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the ice coating equipment of this embodiment does not have a lifting plate 223. A partition assembly is provided inside the container 210, which includes a fixed plate 221 and a sliding plate 222. The ice tray can be placed on the fixed plate 221. A guide groove 214 (i.e., a third guide member) extending horizontally is provided on the inner wall of the container cavity. The edge of the sliding plate 222 forms a fourth guide member and fits into the guide groove 214. The sliding plate 222 can slide horizontally to open or close the inlet and outlet 213.
[0260] like Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the ice plating device of this embodiment is provided with a lifting plate 223. A partition assembly is provided inside the container 210, which includes two fixed plates 221 and a sliding plate 222. The two fixed plates 221 are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the container 210 and form an inlet and outlet 213 in the middle.
[0261] The sliding plate 222 is fitted into the interlayer 2211 inside one of the fixed plates 221, and is adapted to slide horizontally in the left-right direction to open or close the inlet and outlet 213. The lifting plate 223 is disposed opposite to the inlet and outlet 213, and is adapted to be raised and lowered to switch between a first position and a second position.
[0262] A linkage assembly is provided between the lifting plate 223 and the sliding plate 222. The linkage assembly comprises a first rack 231, a first gear 232, a second gear 234, and a second rack 233, which mesh in sequence. The first rack 231 is affixed to the sliding plate 222 and disposed horizontally, while the second rack 233 is affixed to the lifting plate 223 and disposed vertically. A first chute 235, which slidably engages with the first rack 231, is affixed to the accommodating member 210. A second chute 236, which slidably engages with the second rack 233, is affixed to the accommodating member 210.
[0263] An operating handle 240 is provided at the end of the lifting plate 223, with a portion of the operating handle 240 exposed to the outside. The operating handle 240 is arranged to be raised and lowered relative to the container 210. The user can raise and lower the operating handle 240 to change the position of the lifting plate 223 and the sliding plate 222, thereby achieving ice coating of the food and sealing the food after the ice coating is completed.
