[0048] The invention provides a refrigerator.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the refrigerator comprises:

[0050] The water dispenser body 100 includes a water inlet 111, a first water outlet 112 and a second water outlet 113. The water dispenser is used to connect to a water pipe through the water inlet 111, hydrogenate the water output from the water pipe, and output the treated drinking water through the first water outlet 112;

[0051] The container body 200 has a receiving space 210 therein, and the receiving space 210 is communicated with the second water outlet 113;

[0052] The atomizing module 300 is disposed at the second water outlet 113 . The atomizing module 300 is used to atomize the treated water to adjust the humidity in the containing space 210 when in the first working mode.

[0053] In this embodiment, the water dispenser body 100 and the container body 200 are stacked in the refrigerator, and the container body 200 is used to place fruits, vegetables, etc.; the water pipe can be a tap water pipe or a direct drinking water pipe. When the water pipe is a tap water pipe, Figure 6 As shown, a filter element can also be provided at the water inlet 111, so that the tap water becomes drinking water after being processed by the filter element and then enters the water dispenser body 100; the atomization module 300 can include an ultrasonic atomization module 300, a compressed air atomization module 300, a thermal atomization module 300 or a spray atomization module 300.

[0054] Specifically, when the refrigerator is working, the water dispenser body 100 and the atomization module 300 are powered on and working normally. At this time, the water dispenser body 100 receives water from the water pipe through the water inlet 111, stores it inside, and hydrogenates the stored water.

[0055] It should be noted that the first working mode specifically includes an atomization mode. After the water connected to the water dispenser body 100 is hydrogenated, the atomization module 300, under the control of an external first control signal, atomizes the hydrogenated water and sprays the atomized water vapor into the container body 200 to adjust the humidity in the containing space 210 to moisturize the fruits and vegetables in the container body 200. At the same time, since the water vapor has been hydrogenated, it can also keep the fruits and vegetables in the container body 200 fresh.

[0056] When the user obtains drinking water, the water dispenser body 100 is externally controlled to connect the first water outlet 112 so that the hydrogenated water is output to the outside through the first water outlet 112 and is provided to the user as drinking water.

[0057] The technical solution of the present invention sets the atomization module 300 at the second water outlet 113 of the water dispenser, and connects the container body 200 with the second water outlet 113, so that the water in the water pipe can be atomized by the atomization module 300 through the second water outlet 113 after being connected to the water dispenser body 100 through the water inlet 111 for hydrogenation treatment, so as to keep the objects in the container body 200 fresh and moisturized, and can also be output as drinking water through the first water outlet 112. Therefore, the water dispenser body 100, the container body 200 and the atomization module 300 are set in the refrigerator at the same time, so that the refrigerator can simultaneously realize the functions of fruit and vegetable preservation and healthy drinking of hydrogen-rich water.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the atomization module 300 is also used to stir the water in the space when in the second working mode.

[0059] In this embodiment, the second working mode specifically includes a vibration mode. In this mode, the atomization module 300 vibrates under the control of an external second control signal, so that the hydrogen produced in the water dispenser body 100 can be fully mixed with the injected water, which not only accelerates the hydrogenation speed of the water, but also makes the hydrogenation degree of the water in the water dispenser body 100 more uniform.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the water dispenser body 100 includes a first subspace 121, a second subspace 122 and a third subspace 123 which are spaced apart from each other;

[0061] The first subspace 121 is connected to the water pipe;

[0062] The second subspace 122 is connected to the first subspace 121 and the first water outlet 112, and is used to perform hydrogenation treatment on the water;

[0063] The third subspace 123 is connected to the first subspace 121 , the second subspace 122 and the second water outlet 113 .

[0064] In this embodiment, the first subspace 121 is used to connect the water in the water pipe through the water inlet 111, and flow into the second subspace 122 and the third subspace 123 respectively. It can be understood that for hydrogen-rich water, the hydrogen concentration in the water required for healthy drinking of the human body is different from the hydrogen concentration in the water required for the preservation of fruits and vegetables, and the hydrogen concentration in the water required for the preservation of fruits and vegetables is usually less than the hydrogen concentration in the water required for healthy drinking of the human body. Therefore, the present application uses the second subspace 122 as a space for the water dispenser body 100 to hydrogenate water, and a hydrogenation treatment module can be specifically set therein.

[0065] When the user obtains drinking water, the water dispenser body 100 connects the first water outlet 112 under external control, and the hydrogenated water in the second subspace 122 is output to the outside.

[0066] When preserving fruits and vegetables, the water in the water pipe received by the first subspace 121 and the hydrogenated water in the second subspace are respectively injected into the third subspace 123, and the two are mixed and diluted, thereby reducing the hydrogen concentration in the water in the third subspace 123, and then the first working mode of the atomization device is used to atomize suitable water vapor to moisturize the fruits and vegetables.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the refrigerator further includes a first switch 410, a second switch 420 and a third switch 430;

[0068] The first switch 410 separates or connects the first subspace 121 and the second subspace 122;

[0069] The second switch 420 separates or connects the second subspace 122 and the third subspace 123;

[0070] The third switch 430 separates or connects the first subspace 121 and the third subspace 123;

[0071] A hydrogen sensor 500 is disposed in the third subspace 123, and the hydrogen sensor 500 is used to detect a current hydrogen concentration of the water in the third subspace 123;

[0072] The second switch 420 and the third switch 430 are also used to change the working state according to the current hydrogen concentration.

[0073] It can be understood that in order to accurately control the current hydrogen concentration of water in the third subspace 123, in the present embodiment, a hydrogen sensor 500 is also provided in the third subspace 123, and in combination with the first switch 410, the second switch 420 and the third switch 430, the refrigerator separates the water connected to the water pipe from the hydrogenated water through the first switch 410, and stabilizes the concentration of the hydrogenated water.

[0074] After the refrigerator produces hydrogenated water in the second subspace 122, the second switch 420 and the third switch 430 are controlled to be turned on to dilute the hydrogenated water. At the same time, the current hydrogen concentration of the water in the third subspace 123 is detected by the hydrogen sensor 500, the working states of the second switch 420 and the third switch 430 are controlled, and the dilution degree is adjusted, so as to stabilize the current hydrogen concentration to a preset reference hydrogen concentration (such as 700-800 ppb).

[0075] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the working state includes an on state and an off state;

[0076] If the current hydrogen concentration is lower than the preset reference hydrogen concentration, the second switch 420 is in the on state, and the first switch 410 and the third switch 430 are in the off state;

[0077] If the current hydrogen concentration is higher than the reference hydrogen concentration, the first switch 410 and the second switch 420 are in an off state, and the third switch 430 is in an on state.

[0078] Furthermore, when the refrigerator adjusts the dilution degree by controlling the working states of the second switch 420 and the third switch 430, the atomization module 300 can also be controlled to be in the second working mode at the same time. Taking the atomization module 300 as an ultrasonic atomizer as an example, when in the second working mode, the atomization module 300 can break up water into tiny water droplets through the cavitation and oscillation of ultrasound, so that hydrogen is better dissolved in water, and stable hydrogenated water is produced in the third subspace 123.

[0079] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, when the water dispenser body 100 hydrogenates the water output from the water pipe, the first switch 410 is in an on state, and the second switch 420 and the third switch 430 are in an off state.

[0080] In this embodiment, when the water dispenser body 100 hydrogenates the water output from the water pipe, the first switch 410 is in an on state, and the second switch 420 and the third switch 430 are in an off state. At this time, the water output from the water pipe is input into the second subspace 122 through the first subspace 121, so that the water dispenser body 100 hydrogenates the water in the second subspace 122, wherein the first switch 410 is in a relatively upper position to ensure that there is sufficient water for input into the second subspace 122.

[0081] Specifically, the hydrogen-rich water electrolysis module can be used to electrolyze water to produce hydrogenated water. Considering the human body's demand for hydrogen concentration in drinking water, the hydrogen concentration of the hydrogenated water can be 1500-2000 ppb. Thus, the user can take water from the first water outlet 112 for drinking.

[0082] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the refrigerator further comprises:

[0083] A water level sensor 600 is disposed in the third subspace 123, and the water level sensor 600 is used to detect a current water level in the third subspace 123;

[0084] The second switch 420 and the third switch 430 are also used to stop conducting when the current water level reaches a preset reference water level.

[0085] In this embodiment, when the refrigerator dilutes the hydrogenated water in the third subspace 123, the current hydrogen concentration is adjusted by controlling the working states of the second switch 420 and the third switch 430. At the same time, the current water level in the third subspace 123 is detected by the water level sensor 600.

[0086] When the refrigerator detects that the current water level reaches the preset reference water level, it controls the second switch 420 and the third switch 430 to be in the off state, and controls the atomization module 300 to work in the first working state. When it detects that the current water level does not reach the preset reference water level, it controls the second switch 420 and / or the third switch 430 to be in the on state, and executes the above cycle.

[0087] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the refrigerator further comprises:

[0088] A humidity sensor 700 is disposed in the receiving space 210, and is used to detect the current humidity in the receiving space 210 and output it;

[0089] The atomization module 300 is further used to atomize the treated water according to the current humidity.

[0090] It is understandable that for fruits and vegetables, the higher the humidity of the environment, the better, but there is a reasonable reference concentration range. Therefore, in this embodiment, a humidity sensor 700 is set in the containing space 210 to detect the humidity of the containing space 210 in real time and output the detected current humidity.

[0091] The reference humidity is pre-stored in the refrigerator. The current humidity may be pre-stored in the storage module of the refrigerator by the R&D personnel during the design, and the corresponding reference humidity is determined according to the acquired type of the object to be preserved.

[0092] Specifically, when the refrigerator detects that the current humidity in the accommodating space 210 is lower than the reference humidity according to the information output by the humidity sensor 700, the atomization module 300 is controlled to atomize the water in the third subspace 123 to increase the humidity in the accommodating space 210;

[0093] When the refrigerator detects that the current humidity in the accommodating space 210 is not lower than the reference humidity range based on the information output by the humidity sensor 700 , the atomization module 300 is controlled to stop atomizing the water in the third subspace 123 and no longer increase the humidity in the accommodating space 210 .

[0094] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment, the refrigerator further comprises:

[0095] The parameter acquisition module 800 is disposed in the accommodating space 210 , and is used to collect parameter information of objects in the accommodating space 210 , so that the water dispenser body 100 obtains corresponding reference humidity according to the parameter information of the objects.

[0096] It is understandable that different fruits, vegetables and other objects require different optimal fresh-keeping humidity. Therefore, in this embodiment, a parameter acquisition module 800 is provided to collect object parameter information of the objects in the storage space 210, so that the refrigerator can judge the type of the objects according to the object parameter information and calculate the corresponding reference humidity. Then, the switch of the atomization module 300 is controlled according to the reference humidity, and the current humidity in the storage space 210 is made to reach the optimal humidity requirement of the object in combination with the humidity sensor 700.

[0097] Reference Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment, the object parameter information includes surface area information and weight information, and the parameter acquisition module 800 includes:

[0098] An area sensor 810, the area sensor 810 is used to collect surface area information of objects in the accommodation space 210;

[0099] The weight sensor 820 is used to collect weight information of the object in the containing space 210, so that the water dispenser body 100 obtains the corresponding reference humidity according to the surface area information and the weight information.

[0100] In this embodiment, the area sensor 810 may be a surface area testing photoelectric sensor.

[0101] The refrigerator uses the area sensor 810 to calculate the surface area information S of the food, and uses the weight sensor 820 to calculate the weight information M of the food. According to the food humidity calculation formula H=S / M*H0 (where S / M is the surface area ratio and H0 is the correction coefficient), the reference humidity of the object is calculated. The specific value of the correction coefficient H0 varies according to the type of food, and is obtained by the R&D personnel based on multiple experiments. Specifically, the larger the surface area ratio, the easier it is for the food to lose moisture, and the higher the required fresh-keeping humidity. Therefore, the optimal humidity requirement of the food, that is, the reference humidity, is output through the surface area information S and the weight information M.
