DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] Since there is no product with the freeze-drying function of fruits and vegetables in some technologies, the purpose of long-term preservation of fruits and vegetables cannot be achieved. In order to solve this technical problem, the present application provides a refrigerator with the freeze-drying function of fruits and vegetables. The structure of each part of the refrigerator with the freeze-drying function of fruits and vegetables is described below:

[0048] For example, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, as a healthy food choice, meet the needs of modern consumers for healthy food, especially in the fast-paced life, people's consumption structure and consumption demand are constantly upgraded, and freeze-dried food is favored by more and more consumers. Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables can retain the nutrients in fruits and vegetables, such as vitamins, minerals, etc., to the maximum extent by quickly freezing and removing moisture from fruits and vegetables under low temperature and vacuum conditions, making the nutritional value of freeze-dried fruits and vegetables comparable to that of fresh fruits and vegetables. Compared with drying technologies such as sun drying and oven drying, freeze-drying technology can retain the original flavor and taste of fruits and vegetables. While removing moisture from fruits and vegetables, it can maintain the cell structure of fruits and vegetables, thereby maintaining the crisp and tender taste of fruits and vegetables and preventing them from cracking and deforming. However, there are currently no products in the refrigerator industry that have the function of freeze-drying fruits and vegetables.

[0049] Fruits and vegetables are rich in nutrients such as vitamins and dietary fiber, which can provide the human body with various nutrients. However, the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables is often short, and they are prone to rot and deterioration, resulting in a lot of waste. Refrigerators mainly delay food spoilage by low temperatures, but for fruit and vegetable ingredients, long-term refrigeration can easily lead to nutrient loss and a decrease in taste. Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables use low-temperature freezing technology to directly sublimate the water in fresh fruits and vegetables from a solid state to a gaseous state, thereby removing the water and achieving the purpose of long-term preservation of fruits and vegetables, while effectively retaining the nutrients and taste of fruits and vegetables. There are already some fruit and vegetable drying equipment on the market, but these equipment usually take up a large space and are complicated to operate, making them unsuitable for daily household use.

[0050] In response to the above problems, Figure 1It can be seen that the present application provides a refrigerator with a freeze-drying function for fruits and vegetables, comprising: a box body 1, wherein a storage chamber 11 is arranged in the box body 1; a door body 12 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the storage chamber 11; a vacuum device 2, wherein the vacuum device 2 is arranged in the box body 1, wherein one end of the vacuum device 2 is connected to the storage chamber 11, and the other end is connected to the outside of the box body 1; the vacuum device 2 is used to provide a vacuum environment in the storage chamber 11; a temperature regulating device 3, wherein the temperature regulating device 3 is arranged in the storage chamber 11; the temperature regulating device 3 is used to increase or decrease the temperature in the storage chamber 11; a freeze-drying function button 4, wherein the freeze-drying function button 4 is arranged on the door body 12 is on a side away from the storage chamber 11; a fresh-keeping function button 5, which is arranged on a side of the door body 12 away from the storage chamber 11; wherein, when the freeze-drying function button 4 is turned on, the vacuum device 2 and the temperature regulating device 3 are started, and the temperature and the vacuum degree in the storage chamber 11 reach the set freeze-drying temperature and the set freeze-drying vacuum degree, so that the food in the storage chamber 11 is freeze-dried; wherein, when the fresh-keeping function button 5 is turned on, the vacuum device 2 and the temperature regulating device 3 are started, and the temperature and the vacuum degree in the storage chamber 11 reach the set fresh-keeping temperature and the set fresh-keeping vacuum degree, so that the food in the storage chamber 11 is vacuum-preserved.
