[0002] In the field of modern agriculture and food storage, potatoes are an important crop, and their storage conditions are crucial to maintaining their quality, extending shelf life, and reducing losses. Traditional potato storage methods often rely on simple refrigeration or cellar storage. Although these methods can maintain the freshness of potatoes to a certain extent, they have many shortcomings. Refrigerator cabinets are generally used for storage in vegetable wholesale.

[0003] Chinese patent CN117781559B discloses a vertical intelligent refrigerator with zoned temperature control, including a refrigerator body, a refrigerator, a door, a storage box and a sealed box, etc. The refrigerator body is equipped with a refrigerator, a filter is provided on the upper part of the refrigerator, two doors are installed on the right part of the refrigerator body, a storage box is connected to the refrigerator body, the storage box is connected to the refrigerator, and a sealed box is connected to the left side of the refrigerator body. The patent adopts a traditional refrigeration method, that is, a compressor is used to circulate the refrigerant. During the circulation of the refrigerant, the refrigerant is converted between gaseous and liquid states, thereby reducing the temperature in the refrigerator.

[0004] This prior art circulates the refrigerant through the compressor in the refrigerator. During the circulation of the refrigerant, the refrigerant is converted between gaseous and liquid states, thereby reducing the temperature in the refrigerator. However, this technology has the following problems: the manufacturing cost of the refrigerator is relatively high, mainly including the cost of key components such as the compressor, the refrigerant circulation system, and the control system. In the vegetable wholesale market, due to the large number of vegetables that need to be refrigerated, if all of them are refrigerated in refrigerators, the operating cost will be greatly increased. In the vegetable wholesale market, large cold storages are often built to store other foods. The internal temperature of these cold storages is relatively low and there are a large number of cold air resources. However, traditional refrigerators do not make full use of these cold air resources, but rely on their own compressors and refrigerant circulation systems to reduce the temperature, which causes energy waste to a certain extent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific objectives and functions of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 12As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent refrigeration device for storing potatoes, which is used to cool and refrigerate potatoes, including a main body 1, which provides a closed space for storing potatoes; a sealed door is also provided at the front of the main body 1, and a control panel is also provided outside the sealed door. A storage frame 2, potatoes can be stacked in the storage frame 2, and the storage frame 2 can be pulled out from the main body 1; the storage frame 2 is a movable component, and potatoes can be stacked therein. The design of the storage frame 2 allows users to easily pull it out or push it in from the main body 1, which is convenient for storing and taking potatoes. The refrigeration component 3 is used to connect the vent of the cold storage and pass the cold air in the cold storage into the main body 1 to provide a low temperature environment inside the main body 1. The refrigeration component 3 includes an air inlet component 31 that can be detachably connected to the vent on the cold storage and a diversion component 32 connected to the air inlet component 31. The inside of the main body 1 is divided into several cavities for storing potatoes. The refrigeration component 3 also includes a heat exchange component 33 arranged on both sides of each cavity, and the heat exchange component 33 is connected to the diversion component 32; the convector 4 is arranged on the upper and lower sides of each cavity inside the main body 1 to form convection of the air inside the main body 1; the detection component 5 is arranged in each cavity of the main body 1 and can independently detect the temperature and humidity in each cavity. The detection component 5 can monitor environmental parameters in real time to ensure that the storage conditions are always kept in the best state. The control panel receives data from the detection component 5 and analyzes it according to the preset program and algorithm. If it is detected that the temperature or humidity inside the main body 1 deviates from the set value, the control panel will automatically adjust the working state of the refrigeration component 3 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the temperature and humidity inside the main body 1.

[0036] The cold air in the cold storage enters the refrigeration component 3 through the air inlet component 31, and then is evenly distributed to each cavity through the diversion component 32. The heat exchange component 33 uses the heat exchange between the cold air and the air inside the main body 1 to reduce the temperature, and the convection device 4 promotes the convection of air in the cavity to ensure uniform temperature distribution. The detection component 5 monitors the temperature and humidity of each cavity in real time and provides feedback to the user so that the storage conditions can be adjusted as needed.

[0037] The air inlet assembly 31 is connected to the vent of the cold storage, effectively extracting cold air and transferring it to the heat exchange assembly 33 for heat exchange, significantly reducing the temperature of the cavity inside the main body 1. At the same time, the convector 4 promotes the internal air flow, ensuring that the cold air quickly penetrates the potato gaps to achieve rapid cooling. This design is not only low-cost, but also can efficiently utilize the cold air resources of the cold storage.

[0038] Example 1: Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the heat exchange assembly 33 includes a heat exchange tube 33a1 arranged inside the cavity inside the main body 1, and the heat exchange tube 33a1 is evenly distributed with a plurality of first vents 33a2 for passing the cold air in the heat exchange tube 33a1 into the cavity inside the main body 1. The heat exchange tube 33a1 is arranged in a "snake" shape inside the cavity inside the main body 1. The heat exchange tube 33a1 is arranged in a "snake" shape inside the cavity inside the main body 1. This arrangement not only increases the contact area between the heat exchange tube 33a1 and the air inside the main body 1, but also helps to distribute the cold air more evenly inside the main body 1. When the cold air flows in the heat exchange tube 33a1, the cold air will penetrate into the air inside the main body 1 through the first vents 33a2. Since the first vents 33a2 are evenly distributed, the cold air can be evenly diffused into the entire cavity, thereby ensuring that the potatoes are in a stable low-temperature environment.

[0039] The cold air from the cold storage first enters the refrigeration assembly 3 through the air inlet assembly 31, and then is guided to the heat exchange tubes 33a1 in each cavity through the diverter assembly 32. The cold air flowing in the heat exchange tubes 33a1 exchanges heat with the air inside the main body 1. Since the heat exchange tubes 33a1 are arranged in a "snake" shape, the contact area with the air is increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. The cold air evenly penetrates into the cavity inside the main body 1 through the first vent 33a2, providing a stable low-temperature environment for the potatoes. Due to the "snake" arrangement of the heat exchange tubes 33a1 and the uniform distribution of the first vent 33a2, the cold air can be more evenly distributed inside the main body 1, thereby avoiding the situation where the local temperature is too high or too low.

[0040] Example 2: Reference Fig. 9 As shown, the heat exchange assembly 33 includes a heat exchange plate 33b1 arranged inside the internal cavity of the main body 1, and a plurality of second vents 33b2 are evenly distributed on the heat exchange plate 33b1, which can pass the cold air in the heat exchange plate 33b1 into the internal cavity of the main body 1.

[0041] The cold air from the cold storage first enters the refrigeration component 3 through the air inlet component 31, and then is guided to the heat exchange plate 33b1 in each cavity through the diverter component 32. The cold air flowing in the heat exchange plate 33b1 exchanges heat with the air inside the main body 1. Since the heat exchange plate 33b1 has a large surface area, it can effectively transfer the coldness in the cold air to the surrounding air. The cold air penetrates evenly into the cavity inside the main body 1 through the second air vent 33b2. The second air vent 33b2 ensures that the cold air can be evenly distributed in the cavity, avoiding the situation where the local temperature is too high or too low. The heat exchange component 33 using the heat exchange plate 33b1 provides a stable and uniform low-temperature storage environment for potatoes through its unique design and efficient heat exchange mechanism. This design not only ensures the freshness and quality of the potatoes, but also improves the storage efficiency and energy-saving performance. Compared with the heat exchange tube 33a1, the heat exchange plate 33b1 may have a larger heat exchange area and a more uniform cold air distribution effect,

[0042] Example 3: Reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown: the heat exchange component 33 includes a fin 33c1 arranged on the inner side of the internal cavity of the main body 1, and a number of fins 33c1 are stacked in layers, and a number of conduits 33c2 are coiled on the fins 33c1, and the conduits 33c2 are arranged in a "snake" shape in the fins 33c1. The design of stacking the fins 33c1 in layers increases the heat exchange area and improves the heat exchange efficiency. As the main surface of heat exchange, the fin 33c1 can effectively transfer the cold air in the cold air to the air inside the main body 1. At the same time, the fin 33c1 also plays a role in supporting and fixing the conduit 33c2. The outlet end of the conduit 33c2 is connected to the exhaust pipe 34, and the exhaust pipe 34 is connected to the third fan 35. The third fan 35 is installed inside the back of the main body 1 and re-enters the gas in the conduit 33c2 into the cold storage.

[0043] The cold air enters the duct 33c2 through the air inlet assembly 31 and performs heat exchange in the fins 33c1. The cold air after heat exchange is sent back to the cold storage through the exhaust pipe 34 and the third fan 35 to form a cycle. The cold air flowing in the duct 33c2 performs heat exchange with the fins 33c1 and the air inside the main body 1. Due to the large heat exchange area of ​​the fins 33c1 and the "snake" arrangement design of the duct 33c2, the heat exchange efficiency is significantly improved. By adjusting the speed of the third fan 35, the residence time and flow speed of the cold air in the duct 33c2 can be controlled.

[0044] refer to Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, the refrigeration component 3 includes a first connecting pipe 321 that can be connected to the air inlet component 31, and one end of the first connecting pipe 321 is connected to the second connecting pipe 322, and the upper part of the second connecting pipe 322 is connected to a bypass pipe 323 that can be connected to the heat exchange component 33 and passes the cold air into the heat exchange component 33. The bypass pipe 323 is also provided with an electric control valve 3231 that can independently control the cold air to enter each heat exchange component 33.

[0045] The cold air from the cold storage first enters the first connecting pipe 321 through the air inlet assembly 31, and then flows to the diverter pipe 323 through the second connecting pipe 322. In the diverter pipe 323, the cold air is distributed to each heat exchange assembly 33. Through the independent control of the electric control valve 3231, the cold air flow and time in each heat exchange assembly 33 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the control of the storage environment temperature.

[0046] An electric control valve 3231 is provided on the shunt pipe 323. The electric control valve 3231 can independently control the temperature of each cavity inside the main body 1. By controlling the on-off or opening degree of the electric control valve 3231, the temperature of each cavity inside the main body 1 can be independently controlled, which simplifies the structure while ensuring the flexibility of temperature management of each cavity.

[0047] refer to Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown: the air inlet component 31 also includes a mixing box 311 arranged on the inner side of the main body 1, the mixing box 311 is connected to the first connecting pipe 321, the top of the mixing box 311 is connected to the first air inlet pipe 312, and one end of the first air inlet pipe 312 is connected to the first bellows 313, the first bellows 313 is flexible and retractable, and is convenient for connection with the vent of the cold storage, one end of the first bellows 313 is provided with a fixing component 314 that can fix the first bellows 313 to the vent of the cold storage, the first air inlet pipe 312 is also provided with an air volume adjustment component 3121 for controlling the flow rate of cold air, and the mixing box 311 is also provided with a second fan 318 for sucking external air into the mixing box 311 at a position close to the second air inlet pipe 315. When the temperature in the main body 1 needs to be increased, the second fan 318 sucks external warm air into the mixing box 311 to mix with the cold air, so as to increase the temperature of the cold air and thereby increase the temperature of the main body 1. The first fan 317 is used to draw the cold air in the cold storage into the mixing box 311 through the first air inlet pipe 312 and the first corrugated pipe 313, and transport it to the heat exchange component 33. The operation of the first fan 317 ensures that the cold air can be continuously and stably supplied to the heat exchange component 33, meeting the storage environment's demand for cold air.

[0048] The bottom end of the mixing box 311 is connected to a second air inlet pipe 315, and the second air inlet pipe 315 is provided with a control valve 3151 capable of controlling the air entering the mixing box 311. One end of the second air inlet pipe 315 is connected to a second bellows 316, and a second fan 318 is also provided in the mixing box 311 near the second air inlet pipe 315.

[0049] External air enters the mixing box 311 through the second bellows 316 and the second air inlet pipe 315. In this process, the control valve 3151 adjusts the air flow rate according to the air demand of the storage environment. In the mixing box 311, the cold air from the cold storage and the external air are mixed. By adjusting the operating state of the control valve 3151 and the second fan 318, the air temperature and humidity inside the mixing box 311 can be controlled. The mixed air enters the subsequent part of the refrigeration component 3 through the first connecting pipe 321, and is finally transported to the heat exchange component 33 for heat exchange.

[0050] When the temperature in the internal cavity of the main body 1 is too low, the control valve 3151 is controlled to open, and the second fan 318 is started. The second fan 318 can draw external air into the mixing box 311 to mix the cold air with the warm air, or directly use warm air to pass the air into the cavity inside the main body 1 to prevent the temperature in the cavity of the main body 1 from being too low and causing damage to the potatoes.

[0051] The convector 4 includes a fourth fan 41 disposed in the convector 4 and used to convect the air in the cavity of the main body 1. The operation of the fourth fan 41 promotes the convection of the air in the cavity of the main body 1. This helps to evenly distribute the cold air and provide a stable temperature condition for the storage environment. A pressure relief safety valve 6 is also provided in each cavity inside the main body 1. When the cavity in the main body 1 is filled with cold air, the pressure in the main body 1 increases. When the pressure reaches a set value, the safety valve 6 opens to relieve the pressure in the cavity of the main body 1. .

[0052] The air volume adjustment component 3121 includes a fixed plate 31211 fixed between the first air inlet pipe 312 and the mixing box 311, and a rotating plate 31212 is rotatably arranged on the fixed plate 31211. A plurality of adjusting plates 31213 are also arranged between the rotating plate 31212 and the fixed plate 31211. When the rotating plate 31212 rotates, each adjusting plate 31213 can be driven to move, thereby adjusting the size of the channel formed between the adjusting plates 31213. A gear ring is arranged on the outer ring of the rotating plate 31212. The air volume adjustment component 3121 includes a rotating driving member 31214 and a gear 31215. The gear 31215 is meshed with the gear ring on the rotating plate 31212. The rotating driving member 31214 is fixed to the outside of the first air inlet pipe 312, and the output end of the rotating driving member 31214 is fixedly connected to the gear 31215.

[0053] When the flow of cold air entering the mixing box 311 needs to be adjusted, the rotating drive member 31214 is controlled to operate. The output end of the rotating drive member 31214 drives the gear 31215 to rotate, and the gear 31215 is meshed with the gear ring on the rotating disk 31212 to drive the rotating disk 31212 to rotate. As the rotating disk 31212 rotates, the adjusting plate 31213 moves between the fixed disk 31211 and the rotating disk 31212, thereby changing the size of the channel formed between the adjusting plates 31213. The size of the channel directly determines the flow of cold air entering the mixing box 311. By accurately controlling the rotation angle and speed of the rotating disk 31212, the flow of cold air can be adjusted.

[0054] Working principle: By installing the main body 1 to the outside of the cold storage, at this time, by stretching the first bellows 313 and fixing the first bellows 313 on the vent through the fixing assembly 314, and then by starting the first fan 317, the first fan 317 draws the cold air in the cold storage into the mixing box 311, and then the cold air enters the second connecting pipe 322 from the first connecting pipe 321, and then the cold air enters the heat exchange assembly 33. For Example 1: The cold air enters the heat exchange tube 33a1 and sprays out from the first vent 33a2. The heat exchange tube 33a1 is arranged in a "snake" shape, so that the cold air can quickly fill the inner cavity of the main body 1. For Example 2: The cold air enters the heat exchange plate 33b1 and sprays out from the second vent 33b2, which can also quickly fill the inner cavity of the main body 1. For Example 3: cold air enters into the duct 33c2, and a plurality of fins 33c1 are provided on the duct 33c2 to increase the efficiency of heat exchange with the interior of the main body 1, so that the temperature inside the main body 1 is rapidly reduced, and the third fan 35 is used to assist in accelerating the air flow inside the duct 33c2, and the fourth fan 41 is used to form convection in the inner cavity of the main body 1, so that the cold air is quickly filled into the gaps between the potatoes, so that the temperature is rapidly reduced. And by starting the rotary drive member 31214, the rotary drive member 31214 rotates the gear 31215, and then rotates the rotary disk 31212, so as to adjust the size of the channel formed between the adjustment plates 31213, which is used to control the amount of cold air introduced. By starting the second fan 318, the second fan 318 can draw external air into the mixing box 311 to mix the cold air with the warm air, or directly use the warm air to pass the air into the cavity inside the main body 1, so as to avoid the temperature in the cavity in the main body 1 being too low to cause damage to the potatoes. And the electric control valve 3231 can independently control the temperature in each cavity inside the main body 1. By controlling the on-off or opening degree of the electric control valve 3231, the temperature in each cavity inside the main body 1 can be independently controlled, and the structure is simpler.
