In other embodiments, the humidification and sterilization device is connected to the box body, and the specific setting is determined according to needs and is not limited here.

[0066] The specific embodiments of the humidification and sterilization device of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0067] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the humidification and sterilization device in this embodiment. Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the partial explosion structure of the humidification and sterilization device in this embodiment.

[0068] The humidification and sterilization device comprises a housing 1, a water storage component 2, an air duct component 3 and an electrolytic component 4. The water storage component 2, the air duct component 3 and the electrolytic component 4 are all integrated in the housing 1, and the structure is relatively compact.

[0069] One end of the shell 1 is open and the interior is hollow to form a chamber. Specifically in this embodiment, the shell 1 is arranged in the refrigeration chamber with its opening facing upward. That is, the shell 1 forms a chamber with an open top.

[0070] For the convenience of description, it is now stipulated that the length direction of the shell 1 is the longitudinal direction, and the width direction of the shell 1 is the transverse direction; and it is stipulated that the direction toward the chamber is the inside, and the opposite direction is the outside. For example, when the humidification and sterilization device is installed on the inner side of the door body of the corresponding refrigeration room, when the door body is closed on the front side of the box body, the length direction (longitudinal direction) of the shell 1 corresponds to the left and right direction of the box body, and the width direction (transverse direction) of the shell 1 corresponds to the front and rear direction of the box body.

[0071] In this embodiment, the housing 1 is a square structure.

[0072] In this embodiment, the housing 1 includes a bottom wall, side walls erected at both ends of the bottom wall in the horizontal direction, and end walls erected at both ends of the bottom wall in the longitudinal direction, wherein adjacent side walls and end walls are sequentially connected, and the two side walls, the two end walls and the bottom wall enclose a chamber.

[0073] A plurality of through holes are provided on one side wall of the housing 1. Specifically, the two side walls are respectively a first side wall 11 and a second side wall, wherein the plurality of through holes are provided on the first side wall 11. At this time, the first side wall 11 is located at the rear side, that is, the first side wall 11 is located at the side away from the door body and facing the refrigerating chamber, so as to realize the plurality of through holes being connected with the refrigerating chamber, that is, realizing the connection between the interior of the housing 1 and the refrigerating chamber. In this embodiment, the diameter of each through hole is relatively small.

[0074] Furthermore, a transversely extending partition 13 is erected in the middle of the bottom plate, and the transverse ends of the partition 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the two side plates, so as to divide the chamber longitudinally into a first chamber 121 and a second chamber 122. The first chamber 121 is used to accommodate the water absorption component, and the second chamber 122 is used to accommodate the electric control components such as the air duct component 3. At this time, a plurality of vias are correspondingly located at the corresponding positions of the first side wall 11 and the first chamber 121, so as to realize the communication between the first chamber 121 and the refrigerating chamber.

[0075] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the water storage assembly 2 in this embodiment, Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the explosion structure of the water storage assembly 2 in this embodiment.

[0076] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The water storage assembly 2 includes a water storage box 21, a water replenishment box 22 and a water absorption module 23.

[0077] The water storage box 21 is disposed in the housing 1. Specifically, the water storage box 21 is disposed at the lower part of the first chamber 121. At this time, the bottom of the water storage box 21 abuts against the bottom wall of the housing 1, and the top of the water storage box 21 is lower than the top of the housing 1.

[0078] In this embodiment, the water storage box 21 is detachably placed in the first chamber 121, and is convenient to be taken out for cleaning or replacement.

[0079] In this embodiment, the top of the water storage box 21 is open, and the opening of the water storage box 21 is connected to the opening of the housing 1. That is, the water storage box 21 is placed in the first chamber 121 of the housing 1 with the opening facing upward. In addition, the interior of the water storage box 21 is hollow and forms a receiving chamber for storing water and receiving the water absorption module 23.

[0080] In this embodiment, the water storage box 21 is a square structure.

[0081] The water replenishment box 22 serves as a water adding and storing medium of the humidifying and sterilizing device, and is used to realize external water adding of the humidifying and sterilizing device. After the external water is added to the water replenishment box 22 , the water replenishment box 22 supplies water to the water storage box 21 .

[0082] The water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 are inserted into the water storage box 21 along the lateral interval, so that the water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 are detachably arranged in the water storage box 21, so that the water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 can be separated from the water storage box 21, so that the water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 can be taken out for separate cleaning, so that the water replenishment box 22 can be taken out for water replenishment. That is to say, the detachable connection of the water storage box 21, the water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 enables the water storage box 21, the water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 to be separated from the housing 1, so that the water storage box 21, the water replenishment box 22 and the water absorption module 23 can be taken out for separate cleaning, and can effectively ensure that each component in the humidification and sterilization device that contacts water can be cleaned and cleaned separately, so that the cleaning is cleaner and more thorough; at the same time, it is convenient for the repair and maintenance of the entire water storage assembly 2.

[0083] In this embodiment, the water replenishing box 22 protrudes vertically upward from the water storage box 21, and is located on one side of the water storage box 21 along the transverse direction close to the second side wall.

[0085] A water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water replenishment box 22 , and the water outlet is communicated with the inside of the water storage box 21 for supplying water to the water storage box 21 .

[0086] Furthermore, a water outlet switch 223 is provided at the water outlet to control the opening and closing of the water outlet, thereby controlling the water replenishment box 22 to add water into the water storage box 21 .

[0087] Furthermore, a plurality of support ribs 224 are protruded at intervals along the circumferential direction at the bottom of the water replenishment box 22. The plurality of support ribs 224 abut against the bottom surface of the water storage box 21 to support the water replenishment box 22. At this time, the support ribs 224 extend downward beyond the water outlet of the water outlet switch 223, so that there is a gap between the water outlet of the water outlet switch 223 and the bottom surface of the water storage box 21, and there is a gap between each support rib 224, so that the water in the water replenishment box 22 flows out into the water storage box 21. In addition, the provision of the support ribs 224 allows a gap to be provided between the bottom of the water replenishment box 22 and the bottom surface of the water storage box 21, so as to prevent the water from being unable to smoothly move to the bottom of the water absorption module 23 due to the tension between the bottom surface of the water replenishment box 22 or the inner bottom surface of the water storage box 21, so as to facilitate the flow of water in the water storage box 21.

[0088] In this embodiment, the water absorption module 23 is inserted into the water storage box 21, and the water absorption module 23 is located on a side close to the first side wall 11 of the shell 1, and the water absorption module 23 protrudes vertically upward from the water storage box 21 and extends into the first chamber 121, and is connected to the first chamber 121.

Since the first chamber 121 is in communication with a plurality of vias, the support shell 231 is in communication with the vias through the first chamber 121. Specifically, one end of the support shell 231 close to the first side wall 11 is open, and the interior of the support shell 231 is hollow to form an installation cavity, which is used to accommodate and install the water absorption net 232.

[0093] At least one through hole 2311 is provided at the bottom of the support shell 231 for connecting the interior of the support shell 231 with the water storage box 21 so that water in the water storage box 21 can enter the support shell 231 and be absorbed by the water absorption net 232 .

Since one end of the support shell 231 close to the first side wall 11 is open, at least part of the water absorption net 232 can be exposed in the first chamber 121, that is, the upper part of the water absorption net 232 is exposed in the first chamber 121.

[0097] Furthermore, there is a gap between the bottom of the water absorbing net 232 and the side plate at the bottom of the supporting shell 231. Specifically, a plurality of support plates 234 are convexly provided at longitudinal intervals on the side plate at the bottom of the supporting shell 231, which are used to support the water absorbing net 232 so that there is a gap between it and the side plate at the bottom, and it is not easy to cause the through hole 2311 to be blocked, so that the water in the water storage box 21 flows from the through hole 2311 into the supporting shell 231, so as to be absorbed by the water absorbing net 232, so that the water absorbing net 232 itself is filled with water and kept in a moist state.

[0098] In this embodiment, the water absorbing net 232 absorbs water by soaking. The water absorbing net 232 can be a water absorbing material such as sponge or water absorbing fiber.

[0105] An air outlet is provided at one end of the air duct housing 31, the air outlet is connected to the air duct, and the air outlet is connected to the inside of the support housing 231 through the connecting hole 2312. Since the inside of the support housing 231 is connected to the via hole through the first chamber 121, the air duct is connected to the via hole. Specifically, the air outlet is located at one end of the air duct housing 31 close to the first chamber 121 in the longitudinal direction.

[0106] The fan is arranged inside the air duct housing 31, specifically at one end of the air duct away from the water absorption module 23, for generating airflow.

Figure 8 for Figure 7 The enlarged structural diagram at A in the middle, Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram of the partial structure of the electrolytic component 4 in this embodiment, Fig.10 Schematic diagram of the explosion structure of the electrolysis module 41 in this embodiment.

[0111] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The electrolysis assembly 4 includes an electrolysis module 41 and a wiring harness 42. The wiring harness 42 electrically connects the electrolysis module 41 with an external power source so that the electrolysis module 41 forms an electric field to electrolyze the air around the electrolysis module 41 and the water in the water absorption module 23.

[0112] The electrolysis module 41 is arranged in the water absorption module 23, and this arrangement makes the electrolysis module 41 in a humid environment, and can ensure the amount of water required for electrolysis by the electrolysis module 41. Specifically, the electrolysis module 41 is arranged at the notch 2323 in the water absorption module 23, so that the electrolysis module 41 is close to the air outlet of the air duct housing 31. At this time, the airflow generated by the fan flows to the notch 2323 through the air outlet, and can carry the ions around the electrolysis module 41 through the through holes on the first side wall 11 and enter the cold storage room.

[0113] The electrolysis module 41 includes a discharge electrode 411 and a grounding body 412 spaced apart from the discharge electrode 411 .

[0114] The discharge electrode 411 is electrically connected to the harness 42. Specifically, the bottom of the discharge electrode 411 is electrically connected to the harness 42.

[0115] In this embodiment, the discharge electrode 411 includes a discharge portion 4111 and a power connection portion 4112. The discharge portion 4111 extends vertically and is used to cooperate with the grounding body 412 to generate an electric field. The power connection portion 4112 extends longitudinally, is connected to the bottom of the discharge portion 4111, and is located at one end of the discharge portion 4111 close to the connection hole 2312 in the longitudinal direction, and one end of the power connection portion 4112 away from the discharge portion 4111 in the longitudinal direction is electrically connected to the wiring harness 42.

[0116] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the upper portion of the discharge portion 4111 is in the shape of an isosceles triangle with a pointed end, and the vertex of the isosceles triangle is the top of the discharge portion 4111 , and the two sides of the isosceles triangle are inclined toward each other from bottom to top.

[0117] In this embodiment, the discharge electrode 411 may be in a sheet shape or a needle shape, and the specific configuration depends on the actual needs and is not limited here.

[0118] The grounding body 412 is disposed around the outer periphery of the discharge electrode 411. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the grounding body 412 is cylindrical and surrounds the outer periphery of the discharge electrode 411, thereby increasing the discharge range and area, that is, the electric field range and area formed between the grounding body 412 and the discharge electrode 411 are larger, thereby enhancing the discharge and ion generation effect of the electrolytic component 4.

[0119] The grounding body 412 includes at least two annular portions 4121 spaced apart from each other and a plurality of connecting portions 4122 spaced apart and connected between the at least two annular portions 4121. The inner diameters of the two annular portions 4121 are larger than the maximum dimension of the discharge electrode 411 in the horizontal direction, so that there is a gap between the annular portions 4121 and the discharge electrode 411. Each connecting portion 4122 extends vertically and exceeds the top of the discharge electrode 411 upward, so that the annular portion 4121 located above exceeds the top of the discharge electrode 411 upward, so that the grounding body 412 can better surround the outer periphery of the discharge electrode 411.

[0120] In this embodiment, the grounding body 412 includes two annular portions 4121, and a plurality of connecting portions 4122 are connected between the two annular portions 4121, that is, the two annular portions 4121 are respectively located at the top and the bottom of the plurality of connecting portions 4122. In other embodiments, the grounding body 412 may also include one or more annular portions 4121 located between the top and the bottom of the plurality of connecting portions 4122, that is, the grounding body 412 may also include three, four or other numbers of annular portions 4121, and the specific configuration is determined according to needs and is not limited here.

[0121] In this embodiment, the electrolytic assembly 4 also includes a fixing platform 43, which is arranged between the grounding body 412 and the water absorption module 23, and is used to connect and install the discharge electrode 411 and the grounding body 412, and isolate the grounding body 412 from the water absorption module 23 to prevent the grounding body 412 from directly contacting the water in the water absorption module 23.

[0122] The fixing platform 43 is arranged at the notch 2323 in the water absorption module 23, that is, the fixing platform 43 is placed at the top of the lower water absorption part 2322 near one end of the connection hole 2312. At this time, the discharge electrode 411 is penetrated in the middle of the fixing platform 43, the grounding body 412 is arranged on the top of the fixing platform 43, and the fixing platform 43 extends outwardly beyond the grounding body 412 along the circumference of the grounding body 412, thereby isolating the grounding body 412 from the water absorption net 232. Specifically, a through hole 431 is opened in the middle of the fixing platform 43, and the discharge electrode 411 passes through the through hole 431.

[0123] In this embodiment, the fixing platform 43 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure.

[0124] Fig.11 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the electrolysis module 41 in this embodiment, Fig.12FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fixing platform 43 in this embodiment.

[0125] refer to Figure 8 to Figure 12 Furthermore, the bottom of the fixing platform 43 has an opening to form a receiving groove, and the receiving groove is connected to the through hole 431. At this time, the lower part of the discharge electrode 411 passes through the through hole 431 and is located in the receiving groove, that is, the lower part of the discharge part 4111 and the power connection part 4112 are located in the receiving groove. At the same time, since the wire harness 42 is electrically connected to the power connection part 4112, the setting of the receiving groove can make the connection between the wire harness 42 and the power connection part 4112 located in the receiving groove, and there is a gap with the lower water absorption part 2322 located therebelow, so as to prevent the connection between the wire harness 42 and the power connection part 4112 from being immersed in water for too long, resulting in premature discharge and corrosion.

[0126] Furthermore, a longitudinally extending clip 44 is protruding from the bottom of the fixed platform 43, and the clip 44 is located in the accommodating groove. The bottom opening of the clip 44 forms a slot, and the slot is penetrated at both ends in the longitudinal direction and communicated with the accommodating groove, which is used to clip and fix the position of the wiring harness 42 so that it is spaced from the lower water absorbing part 2322. In addition, a wiring hole 433 connecting the accommodating groove and the connecting hole 2312 is provided at one end of the fixed platform 43 near the connecting hole 2312 in the longitudinal direction, and the wiring hole 433 is communicated with the slot, which is used to allow the wiring harness 42 to pass through. Specifically, the wiring harness 42 extends into the second chamber 122 through the slot and sequentially through the wiring hole 433 on the fixed platform 43, the connecting hole 2312 on the supporting shell 231, and the avoidance opening 131 on the partition 13.

[0127] Furthermore, two baffles 45 extending transversely are convexly provided at the bottom of the fixing platform 43 at intervals along the transverse direction, and the transverse ends of each baffle 45 are respectively fixedly connected to the longitudinally extending side walls of the adjacent receiving grooves, and the bottom of each baffle 45 is flush with the peripheral side walls of the receiving grooves, thereby dividing the receiving grooves along the longitudinal direction into a first groove body 4321 and a second groove body 4322. The first groove body 4321 is located at an end away from the connecting hole 2312, and the second groove body 4322 is located at an end close to the connecting hole 2312. At this time, the clamping groove is located in the second groove body 4322, and the wiring hole 433 is connected to the second groove body 4322.

[0128] Specifically, the two baffles 45 are located in the middle of the fixing platform 43 in the longitudinal direction, and the space between the two baffles 45 is connected to the through hole 431 to avoid the discharge electrode 411. That is, at this time, the lower part of the discharge portion 4111 of the discharge electrode 411 is located at the space between the two baffles 45, so that the power connection portion 4112 can extend into the second slot 4322 to be electrically connected with the wire harness 42.

[0129] In this embodiment, the electrolysis assembly 4 includes a water absorption sleeve 46. The water absorption sleeve 46 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the discharge electrode 411, and the water absorption sleeve 46 contacts the water absorption module 23, and can absorb water in the water absorption module 23, so that the discharge electrode 411 contacts the water, and the outer periphery of the discharge portion 4111 is kept moist. Specifically, the water absorption sleeve 46 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the discharge portion 4111, and along with the discharge portion 4111 passing through the through hole 431, so as to contact with the lower water absorption portion 2322, and absorb water in the lower water absorption portion 2322.

[0130] In this embodiment, the electrolytic assembly 4 further includes a water absorbing sheet 47, and the water absorbing sleeve 46 contacts the lower water absorbing portion 2322 through the water absorbing sheet 47. At this time, the bottom of the water absorbing sleeve 46 is located in the receiving groove.

[0131] The water absorbing sheet 47 is arranged between the bottom of the water absorbing sleeve 46 and the water absorbing module 23 to absorb the water in the water absorbing module 23 and transfer the water to the water absorbing sleeve 46. Specifically in this embodiment, the water absorbing sheet 47 is arranged in the first slot 4321, and its vertical dimension matches the vertical dimension of the side wall of the first slot 4321, and can contact with the lower water absorbing part 2322 while contacting with the water absorbing sleeve 46. At this time, the baffle 45 can block the water in the water absorbing sheet 47 from flowing to the second slot 4322, so as to prevent the phenomenon of premature discharge and corrosion caused by the wiring harness 42 being immersed in water for too long.

[0132] In this embodiment, the water absorbing sheet 47 and the water absorbing sleeve 46 absorb water by infiltration. Since the discharge electrode 411 and the grounding ring are directly placed in liquid water, the discharge electrode 411 and the grounding ring will be connected through the liquid water and form a loop, and the air cannot be ionized to generate ions. In this embodiment, the water absorbing sheet 47 is in contact with the water absorbing net 232, the water absorbing sleeve 46 is in contact with the water absorbing sheet 47, and the water absorbing sheet 47 and the water absorbing sleeve 46 absorb water by infiltration, so that the water absorbing sleeve 46 and the water absorbing sheet 47 are filled with water, and a high humidity environment can be formed outside the discharge electrode 411, and the grounding body 412 is not in contact with water.

[0133] In other embodiments, the water absorption sleeve 46 may extend downward to be flush with the peripheral side wall of the receiving groove or extend downward beyond the peripheral side wall of the receiving groove to directly contact the lower water absorption portion 2322 to absorb water in the lower water absorption portion 2322 .

[0134] Furthermore, the electrolysis assembly 4 includes a boost module 48, which is laterally spaced apart from the air duct assembly 3 in the housing 1, and is electrically connected to the electrolysis module 41 for increasing the voltage delivered to the electrolysis module 41, thereby forming a high-voltage electric field at the electrolysis module 41.

[0135] Specifically, the boost module 48 is electrically connected to the discharge electrode 411 through the wiring harness 42 , and boosts the voltage transmitted to the discharge electrode 411 , so that a high voltage electric field is formed between the discharge electrode 411 and the grounding body 412 .

[0136] The working principle of the above humidification and sterilization device is as follows:

[0137] First, take out the water replenishment box 22 and add water, and then insert the water replenishment box 22 into the water storage box 21. The water in the water replenishment box 22 flows out to the water storage box 21 through the water outlet switch 223 at the bottom, and the water in the water storage box 21 flows into the support shell 231 through the through hole 2311 at the bottom of the support shell 231, so as to be absorbed by the water absorption net 232 and the water absorption net 232 is filled with water.

[0138] Since the water absorption sleeve 46 is in contact with the lower water absorption part 2322 through the water absorption sheet 47, when the lower water absorption part 2322 is filled with water, the water absorption sheet 47 absorbs the water in the lower water absorption part 2322. When the water absorption sheet 47 is filled with water, the water absorption sleeve 46 can absorb the water in the water absorption sheet 47. When the water absorption sleeve 46 is filled with water, the discharge electrode 411 is placed in a humid environment.

[0139] Among them, the voltage of the external power supply is boosted by the boost module 48 and then transmitted to the discharge electrode 411 of the electrolysis module 41 through the wiring harness 42, so that a high-voltage electric field is formed between the discharge electrode 411 and the grounding body 412 of the electrolysis module 41, and the air around the discharge electrode 411 and the water in the water absorption sleeve 46 are electrolyzed, and the nano-scale water molecules generated by the electrolysis of water are combined with the active oxygen and hydroxyl free radicals generated by the electrolysis of air to form hydrated active ions.

[0140] At the same time, the electric control unit controls the fan to start to generate airflow, and the airflow flows out through the air outlet of the air duct into the support shell 231, first contacts the electrolysis module 41, and as the airflow flows, the hydrated active ions formed by electrolysis are driven to flow out from the opening of the support shell 231 to the first chamber 121, and flow through the multiple through holes on the first side wall 11 of the outer shell 1 into the cold storage room, and then adhere to the surface of the food placed in the cold storage room to sterilize the surface of the food and keep the food fresh.

[0141] As the airflow flows, the airflow can also contact the water absorption net 232, and as the airflow continues to flow, it drives the moisture on the water absorption module 23 to flow out from the opening of the supporting shell 231 to the first chamber 121, and flows through the multiple through holes on the first side wall 11 of the shell 1 into the cold storage room, and then adheres to the surface of the food placed in the cold storage room to moisturize the food.

[0142] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention has at least the following advantages and positive effects:

[0143] First, in the above-mentioned humidification and sterilization device, the electrolytic component 4 is at least partially located in the water absorption module 23 to electrolyze the air and the water in the water absorption module 23 to generate ions. The water absorption module 23 can ensure that the part of the electrolytic component 4 located in the water absorption module 23 has sufficient moisture around it to ensure the amount of water required for the electrolysis of the electrolytic component 4, so as to increase the amount of ions generated by the electrolytic component 4, so that more ions can be driven by the airflow formed by the air duct component 3 to pass through multiple through holes into the cold storage room, thereby improving the sterilization effect of the refrigeration equipment, so as to improve the preservation effect of the refrigeration equipment; at the same time, the airflow formed by the air duct component 3 can also drive the moisture on the water absorption module 23 to pass through multiple through holes into the cold storage room, thereby achieving the moisturizing effect of the refrigeration equipment.

[0144] Furthermore, the grounding body 412 of the electrolytic module 41 is arranged in an interval ring at the periphery of the discharge electrode 411, and surrounds the periphery of the discharge electrode 411, thereby increasing the discharge range and area, that is, the electric field range and area formed between the grounding body 412 and the discharge electrode 411 are larger, thereby enhancing the discharge and ion generation effect of the electrolytic component 4.

[0145] Furthermore, the water absorption sleeve 46 contacts the lower water absorption part 2322 through the water absorption sheet 47. When the lower water absorption part 2322 is filled with water, the water absorption sheet 47 absorbs the water in the lower water absorption part 2322. When the water absorption sheet 47 is filled with water, the water absorption sleeve 46 can absorb the water in the water absorption sheet 47. When the water absorption sleeve 46 is filled with water, the discharge electrode 411 is placed in a humid environment.

[0146] Furthermore, the accommodating groove at the bottom of the fixing platform 43 is divided into a first groove body 4321 and a second groove body 4322 by a baffle 45, and the absorbent sheet 47 is arranged in the first groove body 4321. The connection between the discharge electrode 411 and the wiring harness 42 and at least part of the wiring harness 42 are located in the second groove body 4322. The setting of the baffle can block the water in the absorbent sheet 47 from flowing to the second groove body 4322, so as to prevent the wiring harness 42 from being immersed in water for too long, resulting in premature discharge and corrosion.

[0147] Although the present invention has been described with reference to several typical embodiments, it should be understood that the terms used are illustrative and exemplary, rather than restrictive. Since the present invention can be embodied in a variety of forms without departing from the spirit or essence of the invention, it should be understood that the above embodiments are not limited to any of the foregoing details, but should be interpreted broadly within the spirit and scope defined by the appended claims, so all changes and modifications falling within the scope of the claims or their equivalents should be covered by the appended claims.
