[0047] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0048] The present application discloses a storage device 10 .

[0049] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 2 A storage device 10 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0050] The storage device 10 may include, but is not limited to, a refrigerator, a freezer, or a vending machine with a temperature control function, etc., which is not limited here.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the storage device 10 includes: a box body 100, a door body 300, a liquid cooling plate 410, a liquid cooling condenser 420, a water pump 430 and a refrigeration system 500.

[0052] The box body 100 is provided with a refrigeration chamber and a quick-freezing chamber 200; the door body 300 is installed at the front end of the box body 100.

[0053] like Figure 1As shown, the box body 100 can be used for heat preservation, the door body 300 can be used to seal the quick-freezing chamber 200, the quick-freezing chamber 200 can be used to quickly freeze food in a short time, and the refrigeration chamber can be used to install the refrigeration system 500, wherein the box body 100 can include a foam layer and other structural parts, and the foam layer can be used for heat insulation to reduce heat transfer.

[0054] The liquid cooling plate 410 is used for heat exchange with the quick freezing chamber 200; the liquid cooling condenser 420 and the water pump 430 are connected end to end with the liquid cooling plate 410 for circulating the heat exchange medium; the evaporator 510 and the liquid cooling condenser 420 of the refrigeration system 500 are installed in the refrigeration bin, and the liquid cooling condenser 420 is used for heat exchange with the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, the refrigeration system 500 may include an evaporator 510, a condenser 520, a compressor 530 and a capillary tube 540. The evaporator 510, the condenser 520, the compressor 530 and the capillary tube 540 are connected end to end to form a loop for circulating refrigerant.

[0056] In actual implementation, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, when food is put into the quick-freezing chamber 200, the liquid cooling plate 410 can quickly absorb the heat of the food, the heat-exchanging medium inside absorbs heat and the temperature rises, the water pump 430 drives the high-temperature heat-exchanging medium to flow to the liquid-cooled condenser 420, the high-temperature heat-exchanging medium releases heat in the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the temperature drops, and the low-temperature heat-exchanging medium returns to the liquid cooling plate 410. During this process, the refrigeration system 500 is in a working state, and the compressor 530 can compress the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant can pass through the condenser 5 20 condenses and releases heat to become medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant, and then the medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the capillary 540 to become a low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant; then the low-temperature and low-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the evaporator 510 to absorb the heat emitted by the heat exchange medium in the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and becomes a low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, and finally the low-temperature and low-pressure gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor 530, and through the uninterrupted heat exchange between the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500, the heat of the food is taken away, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the food.

[0057] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned liquid cooling plate 410, liquid cooling condenser 420, and water pump 430, is designed in a structure for heat exchange between the liquid cooling condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500. While requiring less modification to the existing system, it improves the rapid freezing effect of local food in the refrigerator without using a large amount of quick freezing liquid, is beneficial to cost control, and improves the reliability of the entire machine.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 may include heat dissipation fins and connecting pipes inserted between the heat dissipation fins, and the air duct defined by the heat dissipation fins may be connected to the air duct of the evaporator 510 .

[0059] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 can be a fin-type structure. The liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 can be coupled by a threaded connection. The box body 100 can define a supply air duct and a return air duct. The air duct defined by the heat dissipation fins can be arranged vertically with the supply air duct, and the external air flow can enter the supply air duct. Since the direction of the heat dissipation fins blocks the tendency of the air flow to enter the liquid-cooled condenser 420 first, most of the air flow can first enter the air duct of the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 and become a low-temperature air flow with cold. The low-temperature air flow with cold can then enter the air duct defined by the liquid-cooled condenser 420, and the heat exchange medium can flow between the heat dissipation fins through the connecting pipe, so that the low-temperature air flow with cold can cool the heat exchange medium flowing inside through the heat dissipation fins. The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts the structural design of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 as a fin structure, so that the airflow entering the air supply duct passes through the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 as much as possible, thereby optimizing the cooling effect of air-cooled heat dissipation to the maximum extent. At the same time, the overall structure is simple, the functional divisions are clear, and a miniaturized and lightweight design is achieved.

[0060] In some embodiments, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 may include a condensation plate and a condensation channel disposed in the condensation plate, and the condensation channel may be connected to the channel of the liquid-cooled plate 410; the substrate of the evaporator 510 may be attached to and connected to the condensation plate.

[0061] In this embodiment, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 can be coupled as one, and the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 can both be plate structures. During the assembly process of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510, the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the base plate of the evaporator 510 can be punched or drilled, and the condensation plate and the base plate of the evaporator 510 can be fixedly connected using bolts.

[0062] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with the above-mentioned liquid-cooled condenser 420 and evaporator 510 both being plate-type structures, so that the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the base plate of the evaporator 510 can be coupled into one through a threaded connection, which has a better coupling effect and improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, it is easy to install and disassemble, thereby improving the maintainability of the entire storage device 10.

[0063] In some embodiments, a thermally conductive filler may be disposed between the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 .

[0064] The thermally conductive filler may include, but is not limited to, thermally conductive silicone, thermally conductive grease, or thermally conductive gel, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the thermally conductive filler is thermally conductive grease.

[0065] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 can be a fin-type structure, and the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 can be coupled by a threaded connection, and a thermal conductive filler can be arranged between the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 to improve the thermal conductivity efficiency.

[0066] In other embodiments, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 may both be plate structures, and the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 is fixedly connected to the base plate of the evaporator 510 by bolts, and a thermally conductive filler may be arranged between the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the base plate of the evaporator 510 to improve thermal conductivity efficiency.

[0067] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can improve the thermal conductivity between the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 and the liquid-cooled condenser 420 through the provision of the above-mentioned thermally conductive filler, reduce the interface thermal resistance between the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500, and is more conducive to the formation of a thermal conductive path.

[0068] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid cooling plate 410 may be installed at the bottom of the quick freezing chamber 200 .

[0069] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid cooling plate 410 can be integrally formed with the bottom of the quick freezing chamber 200 . In other words, the liquid cooling plate 410 can form the bottom wall of the quick freezing chamber 200 , and food can be directly placed on the liquid cooling plate 410 .

[0070] In other embodiments, the liquid cooling plate 410 may be attached to the bottom wall of the quick freezing chamber 200 , and the liquid cooling plate 410 may be arranged outside the quick freezing chamber 200 .

[0071] In some other embodiments, a heat conducting plate may be provided on the bottom wall of the quick freezing chamber 200, and the liquid cooling plate 410 may be arranged outside the quick freezing chamber 200 and attached to the heat conducting plate.

[0072] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a structural design in which the liquid cooling plate 410 is installed at the bottom of the quick-freezing chamber 200, so that the food can directly transfer heat to the heat pipe evaporator 510 after being placed, without the need for intermediate heat exchange through air, thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0073] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 may be disposed at the back of the quick-freezing compartment 200 .

[0074] It is understandable that if the liquid-cooled condenser is not arranged at the back of the quick-freezing chamber, in other words, the liquid-cooled condenser is arranged on the side of the quick-freezing chamber, then sufficient heat dissipation duct needs to flow between the outer shell of the storage device and the inner liner of the box body, resulting in an increase in the width of the entire storage device, which is not conducive to the spatial layout. In addition, when the storage device is arranged in the space, the two sides are usually in an open space, and the probability of possible collision is greatly increased, affecting the reliability of the heat pipe. At the same time, in terms of appearance, arranging the liquid-cooled condenser on the side also affects the aesthetics.

[0075] When the liquid-cooled condenser 420 is arranged at the back of the quick-freezing chamber 200, the heat dissipation duct is hidden at the back of the storage device 10, and only the depth of the storage device 10 is increased. Compared with affecting the width of the storage device 10, it is more conducive to the spatial layout. Moreover, the back of the storage device 10 is usually in a semi-enclosed space when the space is arranged, and the probability of possible collision is greatly reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the liquid-cooled condenser 420, and also making the overall appearance of the storage device 10 more beautiful.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 may be arranged on a side of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 that is away from the quick-freezing compartment 200 .

[0077] In actual implementation, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the box body 100 can define a supply air duct and a return air duct. When food is placed in the quick-freezing chamber 200, the liquid cooling plate 410 can absorb the heat of the food to promote rapid cooling and freezing of the food. The external airflow can enter the supply air duct, and most of the airflow can enter the air duct of the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 to become a low-temperature airflow with cold energy. The low-temperature airflow with cold energy can then enter the air duct defined by the liquid-cooled condenser 420. The heat exchange medium can flow between the heat dissipation fins through the connecting pipe, so that the low-temperature airflow with cold energy can cool the heat exchange medium flowing inside through the heat dissipation fins.

[0078] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application further increases the airflow of the evaporator 510 that first enters the refrigeration system 500 through the spatial position design of the evaporator 510 and the liquid-cooled condenser 420 of the above-mentioned refrigeration system 500, optimizes the cooling effect of air-cooled heat dissipation, and avoids staggered pipe layout, making the overall structure more concise.

[0079] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the quick freezing chamber 200 may have an air outlet and an air return outlet, and the air outlet and the air return outlet may be connected to the refrigeration compartment.

[0080] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the box body 100 can define an air supply duct and a return air duct, the air supply duct can be connected to the air outlet, the return air duct can be connected to the return air outlet, the air outlet can be set below the return air outlet, and the air outlet and the return air outlet can be arranged diagonally. When food is placed in the quick-freezing chamber 200, the liquid cooling plate 410 can absorb the heat of the food, promote the rapid cooling and freezing of the food, and at the same time, the air supply duct sends the airflow with the cold amount of the refrigeration system 500 into the quick-freezing chamber 200 through the air outlet of the quick-freezing chamber 200, the cold air directly exchanges heat with the food, and the hot air after absorbing the heat enters the return air duct through the return air outlet of the quick-freezing chamber 200, and finally leaves the box body 100.

[0081] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes that the liquid cooling system is combined with the air cooling unit to provide cooling for the quick-freezing chamber 200 through the arrangement of the above-mentioned air outlet and return air outlet, thereby improving the air circulation effect in the quick-freezing chamber 200, increasing the convection effect between the surface of the food and the air, shortening the time required for quick-freezing of the food to the greatest extent, and extending the storage time of the food.

[0082] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the box body 100 may also be provided with a refrigerating compartment 600 and a freezing compartment 700, the quick-freezing compartment 200, the refrigerating compartment 600 and the freezing compartment 700 may be separately arranged, the quick-freezing compartment 200 may be arranged between the refrigerating compartment 600 and the freezing compartment 700, and the box body 100 may define an air supply duct and a return air duct, and both the air supply duct and the return air duct may be connected to the refrigerating compartment 600 and the freezing compartment 700.

[0083] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, based on the air supply duct supplying air to the refrigerating compartment 600, the quick freezing compartment 200 and the freezing compartment 700 from bottom to top, there is inevitably a loss of cold energy during the air supply process. A part of the air flow can enter the freezing compartment 700 located at the bottom, another part of the air flow can enter the quick freezing compartment 200 located in the middle, and another part of the air flow can enter the refrigerating compartment 600 located at the top. The temperature of the air flow entering the freezing compartment 700 is lower than the temperature of the air flow entering the quick freezing compartment 200, and the temperature of the air flow entering the quick freezing compartment 200 is lower than the temperature of the air flow entering the refrigerating compartment 600, so that the temperature of the air flow entering the freezing compartment 700 is sufficient to meet the demand of low-temperature freezing of the freezing compartment 700, the temperature of the air flow entering the quick freezing compartment 200 is sufficient to meet the demand of ultra-low temperature quick freezing of the quick freezing compartment 200 in combination with the cold energy provided by the heat pipe evaporator 510, and the temperature of the air flow entering the refrigerating compartment 600 is sufficient to meet the demand of relatively low-temperature refrigeration of the refrigerating compartment 600.

[0084] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application, through the arrangement of the above-mentioned refrigerating compartment 600 and freezing compartment 700, cooperates with the spatial position design of the quick-freezing compartment 200, the refrigerating compartment 600 and the freezing compartment 700, so that the cooling capacity of the refrigeration system 500 is reasonably distributed to the quick-freezing compartment 200, the refrigerating compartment 600 and the freezing compartment 700 to meet the different temperature requirements of different compartments, thereby effectively improving the stability and performance of the storage device 10.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the door body 300 may include a first door body 310, a second door body 320 and a third door body 330 which are separately arranged. The first door body 310, the second door body 320 and the third door body 330 may respectively block the refrigerating compartment 600, the quick freezing compartment 200 and the freezing compartment 700 in sequence.

[0086] The first door body 310 may be a side-opening door, a top-opening door, or a double-opening door, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the first door body 310 may be a double-opening door.

[0087] The second door body 320 may be a side-opening door, a top-opening door, a double-opening door, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the second door body 320 may be a side-opening door.

[0088] The third door body 330 may be a side-opening door, a top-opening door, or a double-opening door, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the third door body 330 may be a side-opening door.

[0089] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes independent opening and closing of the doors of the refrigerating compartment 600, the quick freezing compartment 200 and the freezing compartment 700 through the arrangement of the above-mentioned first door body 310, the second door body 320 and the third door body 330, thereby preventing the refrigerating compartment 600, the quick freezing compartment 200 and the freezing compartment 700 from interfering with each other, enhancing the sealing of the refrigerating compartment 600, the quick freezing compartment 200 and the freezing compartment 700, and making the temperature control of each compartment of the storage device 10 more precise.

[0090] The present application also provides a quick freezing system.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the quick freezing system includes: a liquid cooling plate 410 , a liquid cooling condenser 420 , a water pump 430 and a quick freezing chamber 200 .

[0092] The liquid cooling condenser 420 , the water pump 430 and the liquid cooling plate 410 are connected end to end for circulating heat exchange medium. The liquid cooling condenser 420 is used for heat exchange with the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 ; the liquid cooling plate 410 is installed in the quick freezing chamber 200 .

[0093] In actual implementation, Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, when the food is placed in the quick-freezing chamber 200, the liquid cooling plate 410 can quickly absorb the heat of the food, the heat absorption temperature of the internal heat exchange medium increases, the water pump 430 drives the high-temperature heat exchange medium to flow to the liquid cooling condenser 420, and the high-temperature heat exchange medium releases heat in the liquid cooling condenser 420. The temperature decreases, the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 can absorb the heat released by the heat exchange medium in the liquid cooling condenser 420, and the low-temperature heat exchange medium can return to the liquid cooling plate 410. Through the uninterrupted heat exchange between the liquid cooling condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500, the heat of the food is taken away, thereby realizing rapid cooling of the food.

[0094] The quick-freezing system provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the introduction of the liquid cooling system through the arrangement of the above-mentioned liquid cooling plate 410, liquid cooling condenser 420, and water pump 430, and the structural design of heat exchange between the liquid cooling condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500. While making less modifications to the existing system, it improves the rapid freezing effect of local food in the refrigerator without using a large amount of quick-freezing liquid, which is beneficial to cost control and improves the reliability of the entire machine.

[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 may include heat dissipation fins and connecting pipes inserted between the heat dissipation fins, and the air duct defined by the heat dissipation fins may be connected to the air duct of the evaporator 510 .

[0096] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 can be a fin-type structure. The liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 can be coupled by a threaded connection, and a heat-conductive filler can be arranged between the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 to improve the heat conduction efficiency. The box body 100 can define a supply air duct and a return air duct. The air duct defined by the heat dissipation fins can be arranged vertically with the supply air duct, and the external air flow can enter the supply air duct. Since the direction of the heat dissipation fins blocks the tendency of the air flow to enter the liquid-cooled condenser 420 first, most of the air flow can first enter the air duct of the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 and become a low-temperature air flow with cold. The low-temperature air flow with cold can then enter the air duct defined by the liquid-cooled condenser 420, and the heat exchange medium can flow between the heat dissipation fins through the connecting pipe, so that the low-temperature air flow with cold can cool the heat exchange medium flowing inside through the heat dissipation fins. The quick freezing system provided in the embodiment of the present application adopts the structural design of the above-mentioned liquid-cooled condenser 420 as a fin structure, so that the airflow entering the air supply duct passes through the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 as much as possible, thereby maximizing the cooling effect of air-cooled heat dissipation. At the same time, the overall structure is simple and the functional divisions are clear, achieving a miniaturized and lightweight design.

[0097] In some embodiments, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 may include a condensation plate and a condensation channel disposed in the condensation plate, and the condensation channel may be connected to the channel of the liquid-cooled plate 410; the substrate of the evaporator 510 may be attached to and connected to the condensation plate.

[0098] In this embodiment, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 can be coupled as one, and the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510 of the refrigeration system 500 are both plate structures. During the assembly process of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the evaporator 510, the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the substrate of the evaporator 510 can be punched or drilled, and the condensation plate and the substrate of the evaporator 510 can be fixedly connected by bolts, and a thermal conductive filler can be arranged between the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the substrate of the evaporator 510 to improve the thermal conductivity efficiency.

[0099] The storage device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application is designed with the above-mentioned liquid-cooled condenser 420 and evaporator 510 both being plate-type structures, so that the condensation plate of the liquid-cooled condenser 420 and the base plate of the evaporator 510 can be coupled into one through a threaded connection, which has a better coupling effect and improves the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, it is easy to install and disassemble, thereby improving the maintainability of the entire storage device 10.

[0100] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid cooling plate 410 may be installed at the bottom of the quick freezing chamber 200 .

[0101] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid cooling plate 410 can be integrally formed with the bottom of the quick freezing chamber 200 . In other words, the liquid cooling plate 410 can form the bottom wall of the quick freezing chamber 200 , and food can be directly placed on the liquid cooling plate 410 .

[0102] In other embodiments, the liquid cooling plate 410 may be attached to the bottom wall of the quick freezing chamber 200 , and the liquid cooling plate 410 may be arranged outside the quick freezing chamber 200 .

[0103] In some other embodiments, a heat conducting plate may be provided on the bottom wall of the quick freezing chamber 200, and the liquid cooling plate 410 may be arranged outside the quick freezing chamber 200 and attached to the heat conducting plate.

[0104] The quick freezing system provided in the embodiment of the present application has a structural design in which the liquid cooling plate 410 is installed at the bottom of the quick freezing chamber 200, so that the food can directly transfer heat to the heat pipe evaporator 510 after being placed, without the need for intermediate heat exchange through air, thereby improving the efficiency of heat transfer.

[0105] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the liquid-cooled condenser 420 may be disposed at the back of the quick-freezing compartment 200 .

[0106] It is understandable that if the liquid-cooled condenser is not arranged at the back of the quick-freezing chamber, in other words, the liquid-cooled condenser is arranged on the side of the quick-freezing chamber, then sufficient heat dissipation duct needs to flow between the outer shell of the storage device and the inner liner of the box body, resulting in an increase in the width of the entire storage device, which is not conducive to the spatial layout. In addition, when the storage device is arranged in the space, the two sides are usually in an open space, and the probability of possible collision is greatly increased, affecting the reliability of the heat pipe. At the same time, in terms of appearance, arranging the liquid-cooled condenser on the side also affects the aesthetics.

[0107] When the liquid-cooled condenser 420 is arranged at the back of the quick-freezing chamber 200, the heat dissipation duct is hidden at the back of the storage device 10, and only the depth of the storage device 10 is increased. Compared with affecting the width of the storage device 10, it is more conducive to the spatial layout. Moreover, the back of the storage device 10 is usually in a semi-enclosed space when the space is arranged, and the probability of possible collision is greatly reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the liquid-cooled condenser 420, and also making the overall appearance of the storage device 10 more beautiful.
