[0002] Air-cooled refrigerated service cabinets are often used in large supermarkets or small convenience stores. The temperature in the shelf area is uniform and the frost on the cabinet wall is low. They are often used to store fruits, vegetables, fresh meat and other foods. Since the temperature inside the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet is usually 2-7℃, which is higher than the freezing point of fruits and vegetables, it avoids the sales of foods in the cabinet due to frost damage. At the same time, the lower temperature also inhibits the physiological metabolic activities of fruits and vegetables and the production and reproduction of microorganisms, slowing down the decay of fruits and vegetables.

[0003] Since the ethylene produced by fruits and vegetables during storage accelerates the process of fruits and vegetables maturing, how to reduce the ethylene content plays an important role in delaying the maturation and aging of fruits and vegetables. At the same time, although the air-cooling design of the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet greatly reduces the amount of frost on the cabinet wall and other locations, with the disturbance of the cold air flow, the moisture on the surface and inside of the fruits and vegetables continues to evaporate, resulting in an increase in the dryness of the fruits and vegetables, which is not conducive to the long-term storage of fruits and vegetables.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to propose an air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet for increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables, inhibiting the ethylene content produced by fruits and vegetables in the cabinet, reducing the dryness of fruits and vegetables, delaying the ripening, aging and corruption of fruits and vegetables, and increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables in the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet.

[0032] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0033] The present invention proposes an air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet for increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a cabinet body and a refrigeration system, a drainage system, an air circulation system, a humidification system, an ozone system and a controller 21 arranged in the cabinet body. The controller is respectively connected to the refrigeration system, the drainage system, the air circulation system, the humidification system, and the ozone system, and is used to control the operation of the refrigeration system, the drainage system, the air circulation system, the humidification system, and the ozone system.

[0034] In this embodiment, a refrigeration chamber, an evaporation chamber and a machine compartment are provided in the cabinet, wherein a plurality of shelves 12 for placing fruits and vegetables are arranged at equal intervals in the refrigeration chamber. In order to facilitate customers to take goods, the shelves in the refrigeration chamber are arranged in descending order. A return air outlet 10 is provided on the front wall of the refrigeration chamber, and a first air outlet 8 and a second air outlet 9 are provided on the rear wall of the refrigeration chamber from top to bottom. The first air outlet 8 and the second air outlet 9 are separated by an air dividing plate. Air outlet grids are provided at the first air outlet 8 and the second air outlet 9. The flow direction and uniformity of cold air and ozone are controlled by adjusting the air outlet grids. A drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the refrigeration chamber for discharging condensed water in the refrigeration chamber.

[0035] The refrigeration system includes a compressor 1, a condenser 2, an expansion valve and an evaporator 4, wherein the compressor and the condenser are arranged in a machine compartment, the condenser is equipped with a condensing fan 3, and the evaporator is arranged in an evaporation chamber. The compressor, the condenser and the evaporator are respectively connected to a controller, and the controller is used to control the working states of the compressor, the condenser and the evaporator. The compressor, the condenser and the evaporator are connected through a connecting pipe to form a refrigeration cycle loop, wherein the inlet of the condenser is connected to the outlet of the compressor, the outlet of the condenser is connected to the inlet of the expansion valve, the outlet of the expansion valve is connected to the inlet of the evaporator, and the outlet of the evaporator is connected to the inlet of the compressor. Refrigerant is filled in the connecting pipe, and the refrigerant changes its own physical state by absorbing and releasing heat in the refrigeration system to achieve a refrigeration effect.

[0036] The drainage system is used to discharge the condensed water in the refrigeration chamber, and includes a water receiving box 7 and a monitoring terminal 20, wherein the water receiving box is fixed to the bottom of the cabin and is connected to the drainage hole through a drainage pipe 6, and the refrigeration chamber flows into the water receiving box through the drainage hole at the bottom of the refrigeration chamber through the drainage pipe, and a sensor 19 is provided in the water receiving box for measuring the water level and temperature of the condensed water in the water receiving box.

[0037] The air circulation system is used to form a cold air flow circulation between the refrigeration chamber and the evaporation chamber, and includes an evaporator fan 5. The evaporator fan 5 is matched with the evaporator 4 and is located at the inlet side of the evaporator to form a cold air flow circulation between the refrigeration chamber and the evaporation chamber. The evaporator fan drives the gas in the evaporation chamber to flow and exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator to form a cold air flow. The cold air flows into the refrigeration chamber through the first air outlet and the second air outlet on the rear wall of the refrigeration chamber. After cooling the refrigeration chamber, it flows back to the evaporation chamber through the return air port on the front wall of the refrigeration chamber and is sucked into the evaporator fan, so that the refrigeration chamber is filled with cold air, ensuring that the fruits and vegetables in the refrigeration chamber are in a low temperature environment of 2 to 7°C.

[0038] The humidification system is arranged in the refrigeration chamber, and is used to spray water mist into the refrigeration chamber to reduce the dryness of fruits and vegetables in the refrigeration chamber, and includes an atomizer 15, an exhaust pipe 14 and a water suction pipe 13. The atomizer is arranged in the refrigeration chamber, and is connected to the water receiving box through the water suction pipe. The inflow end of the water suction pipe is wrapped with filter gauze to prevent debris from entering the water suction pipe. The top of the atomizer is provided with an exhaust pipe. The atomizer is equipped with an atomizer control power supply 16, and the atomizer control power supply is connected to the controller to control the working state of the atomizer. In this embodiment, the operation of the atomizer can be controlled not only according to the liquid level height of the condensed water in the water receiving box, but also a timer is arranged in the atomizer control power supply, and the operation of the atomizer can be controlled by the timer. The atomizer control power supply is powered on every 4 hours by the timer to control the atomizer to work for 3 to 5 minutes, thereby realizing the timed preservation in the refrigeration chamber. In this embodiment, condensed water in the water receiving box is sucked into the atomizer through the water suction pipe, and is discharged through the exhaust pipe after being atomized to form water mist. At this time, the cold air flow blown out from the first air outlet and the second air outlet drives the water mist discharged from the atomizer exhaust pipe to spray on the surface of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerated cavity, thereby reducing the degree of dryness of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerated cavity.

[0039] The ozone system is arranged in the evaporation chamber, and is used to generate ozone to decompose the ethylene produced by fruits and vegetables in the refrigeration chamber and eliminate the microorganisms in the refrigeration chamber. In this embodiment, the ozone system is arranged as an ozone generator 17, and the ozone generator further comprises a waterproof shell, an ionization chip, an exhaust fan and an ozone generator control power supply 18, wherein the ionization chip is arranged in the waterproof shell, and is used to generate ozone; the exhaust fan is arranged on the waterproof shell, and is used to discharge the ozone produced by the ionization chip; the ozone generator control power supply is used to control the opening and closing of the ozone generator, and a timer is arranged inside to control the intermittent operation of the ozone generator, so as to avoid the ozone generator from producing too high a concentration of ozone that harms the human body. The ozone generator control power supply is connected to the controller. The ozone generator is turned on by the controller, and the exhaust fan rotates to discharge the ozone produced by the ionization chip into the refrigeration chamber through the first air outlet and the second air outlet, decomposing the ethylene produced by fruits and vegetables in the refrigeration chamber and killing the bacteria and other microorganisms in the refrigeration chamber, thereby delaying the ripening, aging and decay of fruits and vegetables in the refrigeration chamber.

[0040] It can be concluded that the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet for increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables proposed in this embodiment delays the ripening, aging and corruption of fruits and vegetables in the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet by controlling the operation of the ozone system and the humidification system, thereby increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables in the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet.

[0041] The working process of the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet for increasing the shelf life of fruits and vegetables proposed in this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] The controller is used to control the start-up of the refrigeration system of the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet. The evaporator fan in the refrigeration system drives the air flow in the evaporator cavity and exchanges heat with the condensing agent in the evaporator to form cold air. The cold air is blown by the evaporator fan to flow into the refrigerated cavity through the first air outlet and the second air outlet, forming an air curtain flowing in the refrigerated cavity. After lowering the air temperature in the refrigerated cavity, it flows back to the evaporator cavity through the return air port, forming an air circulation, thereby ensuring that the air in the refrigerated cavity is always maintained within the preset temperature range, delaying the ripening and decay of fruits and vegetables in the refrigerated cavity.

[0043] At the same time, when the sensor in the water receiving box detects that the water level in the water receiving box has reached a preset height, the controller controls the humidification system to operate, and the atomizer controls the power supply to turn on the atomizer, so that the condensed water in the water receiving box is sucked into the atomizer through the suction pipe and atomized, and the atomized water mist is discharged through the exhaust pipe and diffused to the entire refrigeration chamber along with the wind curtain formed by the cold air flow.

[0044] The controller controls the operation of the ozone system, and the ozone generator controls the power supply to turn on the ozone generator. The ozone generated by the ozone generator is discharged into the refrigerating chamber through the first air outlet and the second air outlet along with the cold air generated in the evaporation chamber. The ozone can be used to decompose the ethylene generated by the fruits and vegetables in the refrigerating chamber to avoid the premature maturity of the fruits and vegetables in the refrigerating chamber, and can also kill microorganisms such as spoilage bacteria on the surface of the fruits and vegetables, and delay the decay of the fruits and vegetables in the refrigerating chamber.

[0045] Furthermore, the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet in the present embodiment used to increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables can intermittently adjust the operation of the humidification system and the ozone system according to factors such as the number of fruits and vegetables placed in the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet and the frequency of changing goods, so as to facilitate management personnel to adjust the storage environment in the air-cooled refrigerated service cabinet in real time.

[0046] Although the above describes the specific implementation mode of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is not a limitation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications or variations that can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the technical solution of the present invention without creative work are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
