Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to household appliances, and particularly relates to a refrigerator. Background Art

[0002] In view of the high temperature in the kitchen in summer, and the limitations of space and installation conditions, it is difficult to use air conditioning to cool down the room. Therefore, in order to reduce the temperature in the kitchen and provide a cool environment for cooking in the summer, some people install refrigeration range hoods, some use wall-mounted fans or air-conditioning fans, and some install ceiling fans on the kitchen roof. However, the cost of refrigeration range hoods is relatively high at present, and there are certain requirements for the installation location and size; the use of wall-mounted fans or air-conditioning fans cannot achieve the purpose of rapid cooling, especially under open flames; and the installation of ceiling fans requires professional electricians to install and wire. In short, the above kitchen cooling methods may have disadvantages such as high cost, unsatisfactory cooling, or inconvenient installation. Utility Model Content

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the refrigerator 100 provided by the first embodiment of the present application includes a refrigerator body 10 and a temperature sensing probe 20. The refrigerator body 10 has a refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110 and an air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120. The air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120 is connected in parallel with the refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110. A one-way valve 121 is provided on the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120. The one-way valve 121 can control the on / off between the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120 and the refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110. The temperature sensing probe 20 is installed on the refrigerator body 10. The temperature sensing probe 20 can detect the temperature of the environment where the refrigerator 100 is located and generate a feedback signal, and the feedback signal is used to control the opening / closing of the one-way valve 121. In other words, the refrigerator 100 integrates the air conditioning refrigeration function on the basis of the original refrigerator refrigeration function. Here, when the refrigerant flows in the refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110, the refrigerator refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 can be realized; when the refrigerant flows in the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120, the air conditioning refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 is realized.

[0037] It can be understood that the temperature measured by the temperature sensing probe 20 is used to control the opening / closing of the air-conditioning refrigeration circuit 120, so that the refrigerator 100 has the function of air-conditioning refrigeration. In this way, when the refrigerator 100 is used in the kitchen, the kitchen can be cooled according to the real-time ambient temperature of the kitchen, so that the refrigerator 100 can reduce the working energy consumption on the basis of meeting the cooling needs of the kitchen.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator body 10 includes a refrigerator refrigeration chamber 11, a refrigerator temperature-changing chamber 12 and a refrigerator freezer chamber 13. Along the height direction of the refrigerator 100, the refrigerator temperature-changing chamber 12 is arranged between the refrigerator refrigeration chamber 11 and the refrigerator freezer chamber 13; wherein, the temperature sensing probe 20 is arranged at the position where the refrigerator temperature-changing chamber 12 is located. Here, the temperature sensing probe 20 is mounted on the refrigerator door of the refrigerator temperature-changing chamber 12 in an embedded manner (not shown in the figure). Of course, the position where the temperature sensing probe 20 is installed on the refrigerator body 10 is not limited to that shown in the figure. For those skilled in the art, the temperature sensing probe 20 can also be arranged at the position where the refrigerator refrigeration chamber 11 is located, or at the position where the refrigerator freezer chamber 13 is located, which will not be elaborated here.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator body 10 is provided with an air outlet 14 and an air inlet 15, and the air introduced by the air inlet 15 can be discharged from the air outlet 14 after heat exchange with the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120. In this way, the refrigerator 100 can exhaust cold air when the air conditioning refrigeration function is turned on, and the purpose of cooling the kitchen environment where the refrigerator 100 is applied can be achieved.

[0040] like Figure 1As shown, the air outlet 14 is arranged on the top front edge 130 of the refrigerator body 10; the air inlet 15 is arranged on the two side front edges 140 of the refrigerator body 10, so that when the refrigerator 100 turns on the air conditioning and refrigeration function, the top front edge 130 of the refrigerator 100 can be used to discharge cold air, and the characteristic of cold air sinking can be used to further improve the refrigeration effect that can be achieved when the air conditioning and refrigeration function in the refrigerator 100 is turned on. Here, the two side front edges 140 of the refrigerator body 10 specifically refer to the front edge parts on the left and right sides of the refrigerator body 10. It should be noted that the arrangement positions of the air outlet 14 and the air inlet 15 on the refrigerator body 10 are not limited to those shown in the figure. For those skilled in the art, the air outlet 14 and the air inlet 15 can also be arranged on the two side front edges 140 of the refrigerator body 10, wherein, along the height direction of the refrigerator 100, the air outlet 14 is arranged above the air inlet 15.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerator body 10 is rotatably mounted with a grille 16 in the air outlet 14, and the grille 16 can control the opening / closing of the air outlet 14. That is, when the air conditioning and refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 is not turned on, the grille 16 can be used to close the air outlet 14, so as to prevent dust from accumulating at the air outlet 14 when the air conditioning and refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 is not turned on for a long time, so as to meet the use requirement of the refrigerator 100 that the air conditioning and refrigeration function only needs to be automatically turned on in summer in all seasons.

[0042] The refrigerator 100 of the present application is equipped with a motor (not shown) on the refrigerator body 10, and the motor is connected to the grille 16 by transmission, and the grille 16 can rotate under the drive of the motor and control the opening / closing of the air outlet 14; wherein, the feedback signal is used to control the opening / closing of the motor. In this way, the control of the grille 16 can be automated, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the air outlet 14 by the grille 16 when the air conditioning and refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 is turned on. Here, since the opening / closing of the motor is controlled by the feedback signal generated after the temperature sensing probe 20 measures the temperature of the environment where the refrigerator 100 is located, once the air conditioning and refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 is turned on, the motor can control the grille 16 to automatically open the air outlet 14, and meet the use requirements of the automatic opening of the air conditioning and refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100. It should be noted that the installation position of the motor in the refrigerator body 10, how the motor and the grille 16 are connected by transmission, and how the motor is controlled to open and close under the control of the feedback signal can all adopt the existing conventional methods, which will not be elaborated here.

[0043] In addition, a fan (not shown) is installed in the refrigerator body 10 of the present application, and the fan can drive air to flow between the air inlet 15 and the air outlet 14; when the fan is turned on, the grille 16 controls the air outlet 14 to open; when the fan is turned off, the grille 16 controls the air outlet 14 to close. In this way, the fan is used to promote the air to flow between the air inlet 15 and the air outlet 14, which can improve the cooling effect of the refrigerator 100 when the air conditioning refrigeration function is turned on.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, along the flow direction of the refrigerant flowing in the refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110, the refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110 is provided with a compressor 111, a condenser 112, an anti-condensation pipe 113, an auxiliary condenser 114, a drying filter 115, a three-way electromagnetic valve 116, a refrigeration evaporator 117 and a freezing evaporator 118 in sequence, wherein the refrigeration evaporator 117 is connected to one of the outlets of the three-way electromagnetic valve 116 through a second capillary tube 1171, and the freezing evaporator 118 is connected to the other outlet of the three-way electromagnetic valve 116 through a third capillary tube 1181. When the refrigerator 100 is working, the refrigeration evaporator 117 can be used to refrigerate the refrigerator refrigeration chamber 11 and the refrigerator temperature-changing chamber 12 of the refrigerator body 10, and the freezing evaporator 118 can be used to refrigerate the refrigerator freezer chamber 13 of the refrigerator body 10. It should be noted that the working principle of how to realize the air conditioning refrigeration function when the refrigerator 100 is working can adopt the existing conventional method, which will not be elaborated here.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the one-way valve 121 is configured as an electromagnetic one-way valve 1211. By utilizing the structural characteristics of the electromagnetic one-way valve 1211, the air conditioning and refrigeration function of the refrigerator 100 can be automatically turned on or off, and the air conditioning and refrigeration function control in the refrigerator 100 is automated. Of course, in other embodiments, the one-way valve 121 can also be configured as an electrically controlled one-way valve.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120 is also provided with a first capillary tube 122 and an air conditioning evaporator 123, and the one-way valve 121, the first capillary tube 122 and the air conditioning evaporator 123 are arranged in sequence along the flow direction of the refrigerant in the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120. When the refrigerator 100 is working, the air conditioning evaporator 123 can be used to realize the opening of the air conditioning refrigeration function. Here, the one-way valve 121 and the three-way solenoid valve 116 are connected in parallel with the drying filter 115, and the air conditioning evaporator 123 and the freezing evaporator 118 are connected in parallel with the compressor 111 to realize the parallel connection between the air conditioning refrigeration circuit 120 and the refrigerator refrigeration circuit 110.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
