[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the refrigeration device 100 includes a storage compartment 10 and a cooling compartment 20. In some embodiments of the present invention, the storage compartment 10 has a drawer 14 at the lower portion thereof and a support structure 15 at the upper portion thereof for supporting items.

[0048] Specifically, the refrigeration device 100 includes a refrigeration chamber 11 and a freezer chamber 12 arranged side by side in the left-right direction. The refrigeration device 100 also has a cooling chamber 20 arranged on the upper back side of the freezer chamber 12, a refrigeration return air duct 71 connecting the refrigeration chamber 11 and the cooling chamber 20 so that the air in the refrigeration chamber 11 can flow into the cooling chamber 20, and a drain pipe 74 connected to the cooling chamber 20 so that the water in the cooling chamber 20 can be discharged to the outside. The refrigeration return air duct 71 is arranged close to the drain pipe 74.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present utility model, the refrigerated return air duct 71 and the drain pipe 74 are independent of each other and arranged side by side, and the drain pipe 74 extends downward beyond the bottom end of the refrigerated return air duct 71.

[0050] like Fig. 9 and Fig.17 As shown, in another embodiment of the present utility model, the drain pipe 74 extends into the refrigerated return air duct 71, and includes a first drain section 741 located at the upper side and a second drain section 742 located at the lower side, the first drain section 741 connects the cooling chamber 20 with the refrigerated return air duct 71, and the second drain section 742 extends downward from the bottom end of the refrigerated return air duct 71. The first drain section 741 is connected to one side of the refrigerated return air duct 71 close to the cooling chamber 20 in the left-right direction.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration device 100 has a middle beam 13 separating the refrigerating chamber 11 and the freezing chamber 12, and the refrigerating return air duct 71 is arranged in the middle beam 13. The water inlet of the drain pipe 74 is lower than the height of the return air outlet 7101 of the refrigerating return air duct 71 in the height direction.

[0052] The upper end of the refrigerated return air duct 71 is the return air outlet 7101, and the lower end is the return air inlet 7102. The return air outlet 7101 is connected to the bottom of the cooling chamber 20 and is located on one side of the cooling chamber 20 in the left-right direction.

[0053] The refrigeration device 100 further includes an air mixing structure 30 located at the back of the refrigerating chamber 11 . The air cooled in the cooling chamber 20 and the air in the refrigerating chamber flow into a mixing chamber 301 formed by the air mixing structure 30 , mix, and then flow out into the refrigerating chamber 11 .

[0054] The air mixing structure 30 is arranged at an upper position at the back of the refrigerating chamber 11, and is provided with an air outlet 312 located on the front side thereof for discharging air forward. The refrigeration equipment 100 is also provided with an air inlet duct 5 for introducing the air in the refrigerating chamber 11 into the mixing chamber 301, and an air supply duct 4 for connecting the cooling chamber 20 with the mixing chamber 301 to deliver the cold air cooled in the cooling chamber to the refrigerating chamber 11.

[0055] The air supply duct 4 and the air inlet duct 5 are arranged on the same side of the air mixing structure 30 in the left-right direction.

[0056] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air mixing structure 30 includes a front wall 31 and a rear wall 32 that are relatively arranged in the front-to-back direction, and the front wall 31 is provided with the air outlet 312 that penetrates the front-to-back direction.

[0057] The air outlet 312 includes a first air outlet 3121 located at an upper side and a second air outlet 3122 located at a lower side. The first air outlet 3121 is disposed adjacent to an upper edge of the air mixing structure 30 .

[0058] like Fig. 9 As shown, the first air outlet 3121 and the second air outlet 3122 are both open toward the front, and the width of the first air outlet 3121 in the transverse direction is greater than the width of the second air outlet 3122 in the transverse direction. Fig.14 As shown, the opening size of the second air outlet 3122 in the height direction is smaller than the opening size of the first air outlet 3121 in the height direction. In this embodiment, there is a distance between the second air outlet 3122 and the lower end surface of the air mixing structure 30 .

[0059] When the functional area 112 is provided in the refrigerating chamber 11, the air outlet 312 further comprises a third air outlet 3123 located below the second air outlet 3122 in the height direction, and the third air outlet 3123 is open to the bottom. In addition, the refrigeration device 100 further comprises an air guide 75 connected to the third air outlet 3123.

[0060] The air mixing structure 30 further has a partition wall 34 located between the front wall 31 and the rear wall 32 in the front-to-rear direction. The partition wall 34 is located on a side of the air mixing structure 30 close to the cooling chamber 20 and separates the air supply duct 4 from the air inlet duct 5 .

[0061] The air supply duct 4 is located at the rear side of the air inlet duct 5, and the air supply duct 4 includes a first air supply section 41 that connects the air mixing structure 30 with the cooling chamber 20 and a second air supply section 42 formed on the air mixing structure 30. The second air supply section 42 is defined by the partition wall 34 and the rear wall 32, the side end surface of the partition wall 34 close to the cooling chamber 20 is not flush with the side end surface of the rear wall 32 close to the cooling chamber 20, and the side end surface of the partition wall 34 close to the cooling chamber 20 is closer to the cooling chamber 20 than the side end surface of the rear wall 32 close to the cooling chamber 20, that is, the partition wall 34 extends in the left-right direction toward the cooling chamber 20 beyond the side end surface of the rear wall 32, so that the partition wall 34 has a step portion 3412 protruding from the rear wall 32.

[0062] Specifically, the partition wall 34 includes a first straight wall 341, a connecting wall 342, and a second straight wall 343 connected in sequence, and the step portion 3412 is formed at the end of the first straight wall 341 and is located on the side of the first straight wall 341 away from the connecting wall 342. The first straight wall 341 and the second straight wall 343 are staggered in the front-to-back direction, so that the connecting wall 342 is inclined, and the first straight wall 341 is located in front of the second straight wall 343 in the front-to-back direction.

[0063] The second straight wall 343 has an end face 3431 located on one end thereof away from the connecting wall 342. The end face 3431 is inclined, and the rear end of the end face 3431 is away from the connecting wall 342, and the front end is close to the connecting wall 342, thereby effectively preventing the cold air from the cooling chamber 20 from being blown out directly from the air inlet duct 5 without being mixed.

[0064] The first air supply section 41 includes a straight section 411 connected to the second air supply section 42 and an inclined section 412 connecting the straight section 411 to the cooling chamber 20, and an end of the inclined section 412 connected to the cooling chamber 20 is located in front of an end connected to the straight section 411 in the front-to-back direction, so that the straight section 411 is located on the rear side of the refrigerated air supply port of the cooling chamber 20.

[0065] The rear wall 32 is provided with a recessed portion 321 formed by being recessed backward from its front surface on one side close to the cooling chamber 20. The recessed portion 321 is spaced from the end surface of the rear wall 32 close to the cooling chamber 20 in the left-right direction, and the recessed portion 321 is arranged in front and back correspondence with the second straight wall 343 to avoid the problem of the second air supply section 42 becoming narrow at this location due to the rearward bias of the second straight wall 343. The front and rear opening size of the second air supply section 42 is the largest at the portion adjacent to the first air supply section 41, so as to facilitate receiving the cold air sent from the first air supply section 41.

[0066] The air inlet duct 5 and the air supply duct 4 are arranged on the same side of the air mixing structure 30 in the left-right direction. Specifically, the air inlet duct 5 includes a first air inlet section 51 arranged close to the cooling chamber 20, a second air inlet section 52 arranged away from the cooling chamber 20, and a third and fourth air inlet sections 53 and 54 located between the first air inlet section 51 and the second air inlet section 52. The first air inlet section 51 is defined by the partition wall 34 and the cover body 6.

[0067] The diameter of the second air inlet section 52 in the front-to-back direction is smaller than the diameter of the third air inlet section 53 adjacent to it, the opening size of the first air inlet section 51 in the front-to-back direction is smaller than the opening size of the fourth air inlet section 54 adjacent to it, and the opening size of the first air inlet section 51 in the front-to-back direction is also smaller than the opening size of the first air inlet section 51, that is, the first air inlet section 51 is the narrowest part of the entire air inlet duct 5, thereby effectively controlling the flow rate of air entering the mixing chamber 301 from the refrigeration chamber 11.

[0068] like Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the air mixing structure 30 also has a partition 35 located inside the mixing chamber 301 and connecting the front wall 31 and the rear wall 32, and the partition 35 divides the mixing chamber 301 into a first mixing area 3011 and a second mixing area 3012, and the first mixing area 3011 and the second mixing area 3012 are connected on the side close to the cooling chamber 20.

[0069] Furthermore, the partition 35 has a protrusion 351 protruding toward the air supply duct 4. In this embodiment, the protrusion 351 is arranged close to the bottom end of the air mixing structure 30 in the height direction, so that the accommodation space of the first mixing area 3011 is larger than the accommodation space of the second mixing area 3012.

[0070] The partition 35 has a first side edge 352 and a second side edge 353 that are oppositely disposed in the height direction. The first and second side edges 352 and 353 are both in a concave arc shape to make the mixing space on both sides of the partition 35 larger.

[0071] like Fig.15 As shown, the first air outlet 3121 is connected to the first mixing area 3011 front to back, and the second air outlet 3122 is connected to the second mixing area 3012 front to back. The first mixing area 3011 has a connecting channel 3013 located on its upper side and connected to the first air outlet 3121, and a first vertical channel 3014 located on its lower side and extending in the vertical direction. The connecting channel 3013 is inclined to form an angle with the first vertical channel 3014, and the opening width of the connecting channel 3013 is larger than the opening height of the first air outlet 3121.

[0072] The second mixing area 3012 includes a second vertical channel 3015 having an upper side and extending vertically, and a narrowed channel 3016 located on the lower side and connected to the second air outlet 3122, the narrowed channel 3016 is connected to the second air outlet 3122 forwardly and to the third air outlet 3123 downwardly, and the opening size of the upper part of the narrowed channel 3016 in the front-to-back direction is larger than the opening size of the lower part in the front-to-back direction.

[0073] Furthermore, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration device 100 is a double-door structure, the cooling chamber 20 is arranged on the upper side of the back of the freezing chamber 12, and the mixing chamber 301 is arranged on the upper part of the back of the refrigerating chamber 11.

[0074] The air mixing structure 30 further has a drainage groove 36 at the lower side thereof. The drainage groove 36 penetrates the air mixing structure 30 in the up-down direction so as to discharge condensation formed in the mixing chamber to the outside.

[0075] In addition, the air mixing structure 30 is further provided with an inclined surface 302 located at the lower side thereof and arranged at an angle to the vertical surface, and the outlet end of the drainage groove 36 is opened on the inclined surface 302. In this way, the opening of the outlet end of the drainage groove 36 becomes larger, which is conducive to the discharge of water as soon as possible.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drainage groove 36 is connected to the air inlet duct 5, and the projection of the drainage groove 36 on the horizontal plane falls inside the projection of the air inlet duct 5 on the horizontal plane. The drainage groove 36 is located on the side of the second air outlet 3122 close to the cooling chamber 20 in the left-right direction, and the lower edge of the drainage groove 36 on the inclined surface 302 is located on the lower side of the second air outlet 3122. In addition, the second air outlet 3122 is located within the extension range of the inclined surface 302 in the height direction.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigeration system of the refrigeration device 100 is a single refrigeration system consisting of an evaporator 21 and a fan 22. Through the connection of air ducts, etc., each temperature zone can be refrigerated separately, and the temperature in each room is more uniform and the temperature fluctuation is smaller through the freezing and refrigeration multi-way air supply ducts. In addition, the fan 22 works intermittently. When the fan 22 is operating normally, it blows the cold air in the cooling chamber 20 into the refrigerating chamber 11 and the freezing chamber 12.

[0078] The refrigeration equipment 100 also has a refrigerated air supply duct 72 and a refrigerated air return duct 73 connecting the cooling chamber 20 with the freezing chamber 12. The refrigerated air supply duct 72 sends the cold air cooled in the cooling chamber 20 to the freezing chamber 12, and the refrigerated air return duct 73 returns the air in the freezing chamber 12 to the cooling chamber 20.

[0079] The refrigerated return air duct 71 has a main line 711 extending in the height direction and a connecting line 712 connected to the top of the main line 711. The return air outlet 7101 is arranged at one end of the connecting line 712 connected to the cooling chamber 20. The connecting line 712 is arranged at an angle to the main line 711.

[0080] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting pipe 712 is tilted, and the end of the connecting pipe 712 connected to the main pipe 711 is higher than the end connected to the cooling chamber 20. In this way, the water vapor in the connecting pipe 712 can flow downward into the water receiving tray below the evaporator 21, avoiding flowing into the refrigerating chamber 11.

[0081] In addition, the refrigerated return air duct 71 also has a branch pipe 713 extending from the main pipe 711, and the connecting pipe 712 and the branch pipe 713 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the main pipe 711. When the fan 22 operates normally, the air in the refrigerated chamber 11 enters the branch pipe 713 and the main pipe 711 through the auxiliary return air inlet 7103 of the branch pipe 713 and the return air inlet 7102 of the main pipe 711, and then flows into the cooling chamber 20.

[0082] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of the utility model, the functional area 112 does not need to be set in the cold storage room 11. In this case, the connecting portion of the connecting pipeline 712 and the main pipeline 711 is provided with a baffle 714 protruding upward, and the baffle 714 is located inside the cold storage return air duct 71 to partially separate the connecting pipeline 712 and the main pipeline 711.

[0083] Furthermore, the baffle 714 is formed by protruding upward from the tube wall of the refrigeration return air duct 71 and extending in the front-to-back direction. In this way, when the functional area 112 is not provided in the refrigeration chamber 11 and when the fan 22 stops running, the baffle 714 can prevent the cold air in the cooling chamber 20 from flowing into the refrigeration return air duct 71 when the evaporator 21 is defrosted.

[0084] like Fig. 9 As shown, in other embodiments of the utility model, a functional area 112 is provided in the refrigerating chamber 11. At this time, there is no need to set a baffle or other similar structure in the connecting pipe 712 of the refrigerating return air duct 71. When the fan 22 stops running and the evaporator 21 defrosts, the cold air in the cooling chamber 20 can sink from the refrigerating return air duct 71 and be delivered to the functional area 112 located at the lower part of the refrigerating chamber 11.

[0085] That is, when the functional area 112 is provided in the refrigerating chamber 11 and when the fan 22 stops running, the cold air cooled in the cooling chamber 20 flows into the lower part of the refrigerating chamber 11 through the refrigerating return air duct 71 .

[0086] In the present invention, the refrigeration device 100 arranges the refrigeration return air duct 71 connected to the refrigeration chamber 11 close to the drain pipe 74 connected to the cooling chamber 20, thereby effectively saving the space occupied by the pipeline, simplifying the pipeline layout of the refrigeration device 100, and reducing the manufacturing difficulty.

[0087] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each implementation mode may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
