[0050] This embodiment provides a refrigerator 1.
[0051] refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the refrigerator 1 is suitable for places that require low-temperature storage of medicine bottles, such as hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical factories. The refrigerator 1 includes a cabinet body 20 and a refrigerator box 10. The cabinet body 20 includes multiple receiving cavities, and the refrigerator box 10 is housed in one of the receiving cavities, so that the cabinet body 20 can simultaneously store ordinary medicine bottles and medicine bottles that require low-temperature storage, facilitating centralized management of medicine bottles by medical staff.
[0052] In another embodiment, the refrigerator 1 includes a lock body, and the cabinet body 20 is provided with a latch. One end of the lock body is provided with the door 120 of the refrigerator 10, and the other end is provided with a latch. When the door 120 of the refrigerator 10 is closed, the latch is locked to the latch. Since most of the medicine bottles that need to be stored at low temperature are high-value medicine bottles, they need to be managed by medical staff. When medical staff need to access the low-temperature medicine bottles, they need to unlock the latch of the cabinet body 20 to separate the latch from the latch, thereby opening the door 120 of the refrigerator 10.
[0053] Example 2
[0054] This embodiment provides a refrigerator 10.
[0055] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the refrigerator 10 includes a body 110, a door 120, and a drainage mechanism 200. The body 110 contains a refrigeration module. The door 120 is rotatably connected to the body 110. The refrigeration module is disposed within the body 110. The bottom of the body 110 has an inclined guide surface 111. The drainage mechanism 200 includes multiple drain pipes 210 and a pumping assembly 220. The outlet ends of the multiple drain pipes 210 are respectively connected to the pumping assembly 220. The water inlet of 210 is located at the bottom of the tank 110 and near one end of the inclined guide surface 111, that is, the bottom end of the inclined guide surface 111 is located near the door 120. The drain pipe 210 is located at the bottom of the tank 110 and near the door 120. The water outlet extends out of the tank 110 and is connected to the pumping assembly 220. Water flows along the inclined guide surface 111 to one end of the tank 110 near the inclined guide surface 111. The pumping assembly 220 controls multiple drain pipes 210 to pump water.
[0056] Specifically, when there is condensate inside the housing 110, the condensate flows towards the bottom along the inclined guide surface 111, that is, the condensate gathers at a specific position near the housing 110. The drain pipe 210 is located at the bottom of the housing 110 and near the bottom end of the inclined guide surface 111, which is the position where the condensate gathers. The water pumping assembly 220 controls at least one of the multiple drain pipes 210 to pump water, so that the water inlet end of the drain pipe 210 absorbs the gathered condensate. The arrangement of multiple drain pipes 210 is beneficial to the application of water absorption area and efficiency, so that the condensate is absorbed more thoroughly.
[0057] The water pumping assembly 220 includes a water pump, an air pump, or an electromagnetic pump, etc. The water pumping assembly 220 is housed in the refrigerator 1 and located outside the refrigerator box 10. The refrigeration module is housed inside the refrigerator box 10. The refrigeration module can be a compressor refrigeration module or a semiconductor refrigeration module, etc. Taking the refrigerator box 10 with a semiconductor refrigeration module as an example, if medicine bottles that need to be stored at low temperatures are stored in the refrigerator box 10, hot air from outside the box 110 can easily be brought in when medical staff open or close the door 120 of the refrigerator box 10, resulting in condensation. If the condensation is not thoroughly cleaned, water residue will be left, which will lead to environmental pollution inside the box 110. Since the medicine bottles need to be stored in a sterile environment, the accumulated water needs to be thoroughly cleaned through the drainage mechanism 200.
[0058] Specifically, the inclined guide surface 111 can be understood as an inclined surface. The height of the inclined guide surface 111 at the bottom of the box 110 near the door 120 is lower than the height away from the door 120. That is, condensate on the bottom or side wall of the box 110 can flow along the inclined guide surface 111 to the position near the door 120. When there is water accumulation inside the box 110, the water is guided along the inclined guide surface 111. Multiple drain pipes 210 are spaced 130 apart at the bottom of the box 110 and near the door 120. The arrangement involves multiple drain pipes 210 arranged sequentially at intervals of 130° at the bottom of the housing 110, or they can be arranged closely together. When the water pumping assembly 220 is turned on, it can control the multiple drain pipes 210 to pump water, so that the inlet ends of the multiple drain pipes 210 can simultaneously draw water. The arrangement of multiple drain pipes 210 increases the water absorption area, and the arrangement of the water pumping assembly 220 is conducive to applying water suction force, so that the water is absorbed more thoroughly, thereby effectively protecting the sterile environment required inside the housing 110.
[0059] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the drainage mechanism 200 includes a fixing member 230, which is installed on the box 110 and near the box door 120 so that water gathers on one side of the fixing member 230. The fixing member 230 has multiple water tanks 240, and the multiple water tanks 240 are correspondingly arranged with multiple drain pipes 210. The water inlet end of each drain pipe 210 passes through the corresponding water tank 240 so that the opening of the water inlet end can draw water gathered on one side of the fixing member 230.
[0060] Specifically, the shape of the bottom of the fastener 230 is adapted to the bottom of the box 110, that is, the bottom of the fastener 230 is adapted to the inclined guide surface 111, so that when the fastener 230 is installed at the bottom of the box 110, the fastener 230 and the box 110 are structurally compact, so that water can flow along the inclined guide surface 111 to the outer periphery of the fastener 230 and accumulate. Multiple water tanks 240 can be arranged sequentially at intervals of 130 along the length direction of the fastener 230. The inlet ends of multiple drain pipes 210 are all inserted into the corresponding water tanks 240. Since the drain pipes 210 are made of silicone, plastic and other materials with a certain degree of flexibility, the matching arrangement of the drain pipes 210 and the water tanks 240 is conducive to protecting the material of the drain pipes 210 from damage. The water accumulated at the fastener 230 is drawn through the opening of the inlet end of the water tank 240. Ideally, the drain pipe 210 is a capillary tube. Capillary tubes are generally thin tubes with an inner diameter equal to or less than 1 mm and are highly flexible. In this case, the capillary tube and the water tank 240 are structurally matched to effectively prevent the capillary tube from being bent and damaged or blocked. Because the capillary tube is thin and long, the arrangement of multiple capillary tubes not only has a simple appearance and strong concealment, but also, because the inner diameter of the capillary tube is small, it is more conducive to absorbing water hidden in corners, making water absorption more thorough.
[0061] In this embodiment, the fixing member 230 is connected to the inclined guide surface 111 so that water gathers at the rear 235 of the fixing member 230. The water tank 240 extends from the front 234 of the fixing member 230 to the rear 235 of the fixing member 230, and the inlet end of the drain pipe 210 passes through the water tank 240. Specifically, when the fixing member 230 is fixed to the bottom of the box 110, the water tank 240 extends to the rear 235 of the fixing member 230 and is positioned close to the inclined guide surface 111 so that the inlet end of the drain pipe 210 extends out of the water tank 240 and the opening of the inlet end faces the direction of absorbing the water gathered at the rear 235 of the fixing member 230.
[0062] In this embodiment, a gap 130 is provided on the bottom side of the fastener 230 away from the box door 120. Water flows along the inclined guide surface 111 to the gap 130. The opening of the water tank 240 faces the gap 130. The water inlet ends of multiple drain pipes 210 pass through the water tank 240, and the openings of the water inlet ends face the gap 130, while simultaneously drawing water concentrated at the gap 130.
[0063] Example 3
[0064] This embodiment provides a method for treating water accumulation in a refrigerator.
[0065] In this embodiment, the water accumulation treatment method for the refrigerator is applied to the refrigerator 1 or refrigerator 10 in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2. The medical refrigerator 1 or refrigerator 10 is used to store medicines at low temperatures. When medical staff open or close the door, ambient moisture can easily be introduced, causing condensation and water accumulation in the refrigerator or refrigerator. At this time, a water accumulation treatment method is provided to treat the internal water accumulation in a timely manner to prevent the internal water accumulation from contaminating the medicine or causing local condensation.
[0066] Taking the refrigerator 10 as an example, the refrigerator 10 includes a body 110, a door 120, and a drainage mechanism 200. The body 110 contains a refrigeration module. The door 120 is rotatably connected to the body 110. The refrigeration module is located inside the body 110. The bottom of the body 110 has an inclined guide surface 111. The drainage mechanism 200 includes multiple drain pipes 210 and a pumping assembly 220. The outlet ends of the multiple drain pipes 210 are respectively connected to the pumping assembly 220. The water inlet of 210 is located at the bottom of the tank 110 and near one end of the inclined guide surface 111, that is, the bottom end of the inclined guide surface 111 is located near the door 120. The drain pipe 210 is located at the bottom of the tank 110 and near the door 120. The water outlet extends out of the tank 110 and is connected to the pumping assembly 220. Water flows along the inclined guide surface 111 to one end of the tank 110 near the inclined guide surface 111. The pumping assembly 220 controls multiple drain pipes 210 to pump water.
[0067] In this embodiment, the method for treating water accumulation in the refrigerator includes, but is not limited to:
[0068] Step S100: Receive drug category information from the box 110.
[0069] Specifically, the system receives the category information of the medicines inside the box 110. The category information includes different types of medicines. The system controls the time detection device to set corresponding thresholds according to different types. Different types can include a first category and a second category. The first category can be the category stored in a normal humidity environment, and the second category can be the category stored in a relatively dry environment with low humidity.
[0070] Step S200: Set the threshold for the control time detection device according to the drug category information.
[0071] Specifically, the threshold is a time threshold, and different categories of medicines correspond to different thresholds. For example, for categories requiring a normal humidity environment, the time threshold can be set relatively large, i.e., the time detection device can be preset to 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. For categories requiring storage in a relatively dry environment with low humidity, the time threshold is set relatively small, i.e., the time detection device can be preset to 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or 40 minutes. It is understandable that medical staff set the threshold according to the storage conditions required for the medicine.
[0072] Step S300: Control the time detection device to start timing and generate timing information.
[0073] Specifically, the time detection device can be a timer or other components that can realize timing. Activating the time detection device starts timing and generates timing information in real time.
[0074] In step S400, the drainage mechanism 200 is activated based on the drug category information.
[0075] Specifically, based on the classified drug category information and the corresponding threshold, when the timing information generated by the time detection device meets the threshold, the drainage mechanism 200 is controlled to start pumping. For example, when the drug is in category one or category two, the drainage mechanism 200 is started to pump water when the timing information meets the threshold corresponding to category one or category two.
[0076] In this embodiment, step S400, controlling the drainage mechanism 200 to start according to the drug category information, specifically includes:
[0077] Step S410: When the drug category information is Category 1, control the pumping component 220 to pump water;
[0078] Step S420: When the drug category information is Category 2, control at least one drain pipe 210 to drain.
[0079] Specifically, drug category information is obtained by medical staff based on the initial information of the drug when it leaves the factory, that is, the temperature and basic humidity required for the drug to be stored under refrigeration. Drug category information can be roughly divided into two categories: Category 1 and Category 2. Category 1 basically includes drugs with normal humidity, and Category 2 basically includes drugs with low humidity and relatively dry conditions. The drainage mechanism 200 includes a pumping component 220 and a drain pipe 210. The pumping component 220 and the drain pipe 210 are two separately controlled units. In the first category, the maintenance of normal humidity results in a relatively large preset threshold, usually 1 or 2 hours or longer. At this time, the pumping component 220 can directly drive the drain pipe 210 to pump out the internal condensate, so as to pump out water in an orderly manner within the same time interval to maintain normal humidity. In the second category, the maintenance of a drier environment results in a relatively small preset threshold, usually 30, 40 or 50 minutes or other. At this time, the drain pipe 210 is driven separately to pump the condensate into the drain pipe 210 so that the condensate stays in the drain pipe 210. The drainage noise of the drain pipe 210 is small, and even with time intervals, noise can be effectively avoided. At the same time, the pumping operation of the pumping component 220 is paused. The pumping component 220 is usually a water pump, air pump or electromagnetic pump, etc., which is noisy when it is running. Pausing the operation of the pumping component 220 for a short time can avoid the noise generated by the large noise.
[0080] In this embodiment, the length of some drain pipes 210 is greater than the length of other drain pipes 210. Step S420, controlling at least one drain pipe 210 to drain when the drug category information is the second category, specifically includes:
[0081] Step S422: When the drug category information is Category 2, obtain the current time;
[0082] Step S424: When the current time is within the first time range, control the drain pipe 210 to drain water with the first power.
[0083] Step S426: When the current time is within the second time range, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain water with the second power, wherein the second power is greater than the first power.
[0084] Specifically, the first and second time ranges can be divided into two time periods on the same day. The first time range can be from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and the second time range can be from 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM the next day, i.e., daytime and nighttime. The time planning for the first and second time ranges can be flexibly adjusted according to the usage time of medical staff. At the same time, the first time range corresponds to the first power, and the second time range corresponds to the second power, with the second power being greater than the first power. That is, the power is higher at night and lower during the day. Lower power corresponds to lower noise, avoiding impact on medical staff. Since fewer people are working at night, the power is adjusted to be higher, and the drainage intensity of the drain pipe 210 is enhanced, effectively reducing water residue. In addition, some longer drain pipes 210 may store more condensate, so that the condensate is effectively stored in the drain pipe 210 to meet the short-term continuous drainage needs of the second category.
[0085] When the medicine is in the second category, that is, the required storage environment is a cold storage box 10 with low humidity and relatively dry conditions. Before controlling the drain pipe 210 to drain, the current time of the time detection device is obtained, and it is determined whether the current time is in the first time range or the second time range. If it is in the first time range, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain with the first power. If it is in the second time range, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain with the second power.
[0086] In this embodiment, the outlet end of the drain pipe 210 is connected to the pumping assembly 220. The drainage mechanism 200 also includes a fixing member 230. The fixing member 230 is installed on the box 110 and near the box door 120. The fixing member 230 has multiple water tanks 240. The multiple water tanks 240 are correspondingly arranged with multiple drain pipes 210. The inlet end of each drain pipe 210 passes through the corresponding water tank 240 so that the opening of the inlet end can absorb the accumulated water gathered on one side of the fixing member 230.
[0087] Step S424, controlling the drain pipe 210 to drain at the first power when the current time is within the first time range, specifically includes: controlling the drain pipe 210 to drain for a preset time and then stopping. Specifically, the time detection device can pre-store the preset time for the required drainage, usually a few seconds. When the preset time for drainage is reached, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to stop.
[0088] In this embodiment, multiple water tanks 240 are horizontally arranged along the fixing member 230, and the fixing member 230 is inclined. The method further includes: when a preset number of water tanks 240 are detected to have water accumulation, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain water with a second power, and the drain is stopped after a preset time.
[0089] Specifically, the fixing member 230 is slightly tilted towards one side of the housing 110 so that the multiple water tanks 240 have a certain height difference in the vertical direction. When condensate is stored inside the fixing member 230, the storage height of the condensate gradually rises from the first water tank 240 at the lower position to the subsequent water tanks 240. When all the preset number of water tanks 240 have water accumulated, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain the water. For example, assuming there are 8 water tanks 240, when at least 4 water tanks 240 have water accumulated, that is, when the volume of water accumulated is large, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain the water in an orderly manner with a second power. The second power has a larger power, which can prevent excessive water accumulation inside the water tanks 240.
[0090] In this embodiment, the method further includes step S500: when the door 120 is detected to have opened and then closed, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain water using a second power. Specifically, it also includes a door opening and closing detection device. When the door opening and closing detection device detects that the door 120 has opened and then closed, hot air from outside the door 120 rushes into the cabinet 110. The hot air mixes with the cold air, resulting in a large accumulation of condensate. At this time, the drain pipe 210 is controlled to drain the condensate in a timely manner using a second power. The second power is relatively larger than the first power, allowing for rapid drainage.
[0091] In this embodiment, a door opening / closing detection device is also included. Step S500, when the door 120 is detected to have opened and then closed, controlling the drain pipe 210 to drain water with the second power includes:
[0092] Step S510: Receive door opening and closing information from the door opening / closing detection device in real time;
[0093] Step S520: When door opening information is detected, start timing to generate duration information;
[0094] Step S530: When door closing information is detected, obtain the current duration information;
[0095] Step S540: When the current duration information exceeds the first threshold, the drain pipe is controlled to drain water with the second power.
[0096] Specifically, timing is achieved using a time detection device or other timekeeping tools. The first threshold is preset based on the generated duration information; that is, different thresholds are set according to the length of the duration information. For example, assuming the first threshold is 5 minutes, if the duration information is within 2 minutes and does not exceed the first threshold, drainage pipe 210 is not activated; if the duration information is 6 minutes, drainage pipe 210 is activated. It is understandable that the first threshold can be determined based on the actual switching needs of medical personnel and the external ambient temperature.
[0097] In this embodiment, the method further includes: step S550, when the current duration information exceeds the second threshold, controlling the pumping component 220 to pump water.
[0098] Specifically, the second threshold is preset based on the generated duration information. It can be understood that the first threshold is a preset value for activating the drain pipe 210, and the second threshold is a preset value for activating the pumping assembly 220. That is, when the door opening information is within the first threshold, it indicates that the current condensate accumulation is small, and the water can be drained through the drain pipe 210. When the current duration is within the second threshold, it indicates that the current condensate accumulation may be large, and the water needs to be drained from the drain pipe 210 in a timely manner through the pumping assembly 220 to prevent excessive water accumulation and overflow. The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as the combination of these technical features does not contradict each other, it should be considered within the scope of this specification.
[0099] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
