[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] In order to facilitate the freshness detection of food in a refrigerator, an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigerator and a detection component thereof, which will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the first structure of a refrigerator provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides a refrigerator 100, which can preserve or store different types of food, such as meat food for a short period of time or a long period of time, and fruit and vegetable food for a short period of time. In order to preserve or store different food, the refrigerator 100 includes a refrigerating compartment 110 and a freezing compartment 120, which can be arranged up and down to preserve or store different types of food.

[0035] During the food preservation process in the refrigerated compartment 110, users usually cannot know the freshness of the food, especially the freshness of meat food. Users need to rely on their own senses to feel it, which is inaccurate and affects the user's judgment standard on whether the food is edible.

[0036] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a detection component, and the structural composition of the detection component will be described below.

[0037] Please combine Figure 1 Also see Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The second structural diagram of the refrigerator provided in the embodiment of the present application. The embodiment of the present application provides a detection component 130 , which is disposed in the refrigerating compartment 110 and is used to detect the freshness of the food in the refrigerating compartment 110 .

[0038] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 Also see Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The first structural schematic diagram of the detection assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG.

[0039] The detection member 131 is used to detect the concentration of deteriorating substances in the space to be tested, and the space to be tested may be, for example, the space in the cold storage compartment 110. Deteriorating substances may be, for example, ammonia in volatile basic nitrogen. Volatile basic total nitrogen refers to the total amount of nitrogen that can be distilled out with water vapor in the water extract of meat products under alkaline conditions. Its value is the only physical and chemical indicator used in the national standard to evaluate the freshness of meat. Of course, deteriorating substances may also be produced by fruit and vegetable ingredients, such as hydrogen sulfide. The detection member 131 may be a test paper, such as a test paper loaded with a pH response. Generally, the pH indicator will change color with the concentration of gas produced by the deterioration of food in the cold storage compartment 110. Taking ammonia in volatile basic nitrogen as an example, as the concentration of ammonia in the cold storage compartment 110, such as at its top position, changes, the pH will also change accordingly, so that the freshness of the food can be judged by observing the color change of the pH test paper. For example, the cresol red-bromocresol purple test paper has three stages of yellow, purple and black during the deterioration of food. Ammonia will continue to volatilize from the food and gather at the top of the cold storage compartment 110. When the food freshness limit is reached, the test paper changes from yellow to black, and gradually turns purple as the storage time increases. Therefore, the detection member 131 can quickly and non-destructively detect the freshness of the food stored in the refrigerator 100. Among them, the detection member 131 can be in a circular, square or special shape, that is, a circular sheet, a square sheet or a special-shaped sheet test paper. The embodiment of the present application takes the circular sheet detection member 131 as an example for explanation, and it should not be understood as a limitation on the detection member 131.

[0040] The accommodating portion 132 has an accommodating groove 1320, and the accommodating groove 1320 is used to place the detection member 131. It is understandable that the detection member 131 can be carried by the accommodating portion 132 to reduce problems such as accidental contamination of the detection member 131. The overall shape of the accommodating portion 132 can be cylindrical, square column or special-shaped column, etc., which is compatible with the shape of the detection member 131 to improve the fixing effect of the detection member 131.

[0041] The water guide portion 133 is disposed below the accommodating portion 132 , and is used to guide the water in the accommodating groove 1320 to flow out, so as to prevent the water vapor from affecting the detection accuracy of the detection element 131 .

[0042] In the refrigerator 100 and its detection component 130 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the freshness of the food in the refrigerator 100 can be determined by detecting the concentration of spoilage substances in the test space through the detection component 131, so that the user can know whether the food is edible, and the detection is convenient and non-destructive; and, the water guide part 133 is provided to guide the moisture near the detection component 131, thereby reducing or avoiding the influence of water molecules on the detection accuracy of the detection component 131.

[0043] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 Also see Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A second structural schematic diagram of the detection assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, the detection assembly 130 also includes a cover 134, which is disposed in the receiving groove 1320 and covers the detection member 131; or the cover 134 is connected with the receiving portion 132 to fix the detection member 131, such as by snapping the cover 134 and the receiving portion 132 together, or by magnetically connecting the cover 134 and the receiving portion 132 to fix the detection member 131.

[0044] Among them, in order to facilitate the user to observe the detection status of the detection member 131 and judge the freshness of the food according to the detection status of the detection member 131, the cover 134 is transparent, such as it can be made of a transparent acrylic plate, and the shape of the cover 134 is adapted to the accommodating portion 132, such as it can be round, square or special-shaped.

[0045] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 Also see Figures 5 to 7 As shown, Figure 5 A third structural schematic diagram of the detection component provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 A fourth structural schematic diagram of the detection component provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 A fifth structural schematic diagram of the detection assembly provided for the embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the discharge of the moisture in the receiving groove 1320, a through hole 1322 is provided at the bottom of the receiving groove 1320, that is, a through hole 1322 is provided on the bottom wall surrounding the receiving groove 1320, and the through hole 1322 and the receiving groove 1320 can both be circular, and the through hole 1322 can be arranged with the same center line as the receiving groove 1320, and the diameter of the through hole 1322 is smaller than the diameter of the receiving groove 1320, so as to facilitate the carrying of the detection member 131 by the receiving portion 132. At the same time, the through hole 1322 is smaller than the diameter of the detection member 131, and the diameter of the detection member 131 is smaller than the diameter of the receiving groove 1320, so as to prevent the detection member 131 from falling from the through hole 1322. Thus, the receiving portion 132 forms a hollow shape, which can facilitate the contact between the detection member 131 and the air, and then facilitate the detection of the concentration of degenerate substances in the air.

[0046] Exemplarily, the water guide portion 133 includes a water guide plate 1332 and at least one guide frame 1334 .

[0047] The water guide plate 1332 is arranged below the accommodating portion 132 to carry the accommodating portion 132. Exemplarily, the water guide plate 1332 is provided with a first water leakage hole 1330 corresponding to the through hole 1322, that is, the two are arranged coaxially to facilitate the discharge of water and positioning during production. Among them, the diameter of the water guide plate 1332 can be the same as the diameter of the accommodating portion 132, so as to facilitate the installation of the detection component 130 and to facilitate cutting using the same cutting mold during production, thereby simplifying the production process. The diameter of the first water leakage hole 1330 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 1322 to improve the carrying capacity of the water guide plate 1332.

[0048] Exemplarily, the water guide portion 133 further includes at least one guide frame 1334, at least one guide frame 1334 is arranged around the first water leakage hole 1330, and each guide frame 1334 connects the receiving portion 132 and the water guide plate 1332. It can be understood that the guide frame 1334 is used to connect the receiving portion 132 and the water guide plate 1332 on the one hand, and the guide frame 1334 can also guide water to flow out of the receiving portion 132 on the other hand.

[0049] For example, the water guide portion 133 may include four guide frames 1334, and the four guide frames 1334 are equally spaced around the first water leakage hole 1330 along the circumference to improve the stability of the bearing container 132, and the water in the container 132 can be uniformly discharged. The guide frame 1334 may include a side plate 1335, and the side plate 1335 is inclined relative to the container 132 and the water guide plate 1332, so as to guide the water to flow down. Each guide frame 1334 is surrounded by a guide groove 1336, and the water on the container 132 can flow down along the side wall of the guide groove 1336. In order to reduce the accumulation of water, the water guide plate 1332 is also provided with a second water leakage hole 1337 at the corresponding guide groove 1336.

[0050] In order to further reduce the accumulation of moisture, the water guide plate 1332 is also provided with at least one third water leakage hole 1338, and each third water leakage hole 1338 is respectively spaced apart from the guide frame 1334. For example, four third water leakage holes 1338 can be provided, and the four third water leakage holes 1338 and the four guide frames 1334 are staggered in sequence and are all arranged around the first water leakage hole 1330. As a result, moisture is difficult to accumulate, and the risk of contamination of the detection element 131 can be reduced.

[0051] Exemplarily, the water guide portion 133 also includes a support column 1339, which is arranged on the side of the water guide plate 1332 away from the accommodating portion 132. The support column 1339 can be cylindrical, or it can be cylindrical. Exemplarily, the support column 1339 is provided with a groove, which is connected to the first water leakage hole 1330 to discharge the water on the water guide plate 1332, and because the support column 1339 is far away from the detection member 131, this part of the collected water does not affect the detection accuracy of the detection member 131. The support column 1339 is arranged coaxially with the water guide plate 1332 to facilitate positioning during manufacturing and to improve the stability of the support. Among them, the diameter of the support column 1339 is smaller than the diameter of the water guide plate 1332, and the support column 1339 can also guide the water flow.

[0052] The support column 1339 can also be used as a mounting part of the detection component 130, such as by setting a groove in the refrigerated compartment 110, inserting the support column 1339 into the groove, and snapping the support column 1339 into the refrigerated compartment 110, thereby fixing the detection component 130. At this time, the groove 9 of the support column 1339 can collect water to prevent the water from flowing into the refrigerated compartment 110 and contaminating the food stored in the refrigerated compartment 110. Of course, the detection component 130 can also be fixed by a method such as magnetic connection, which is only an example here and should not be understood as a limitation on the fixing method of the detection component 130.

[0053] In the refrigerator 100 and its detection component 130 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the freshness of the food in the refrigerator 100 can be determined by detecting the concentration of spoilage substances in the test space through the detection component 131, so that the user can know whether the food is edible, and the detection is convenient and non-destructive; and, the water guide part 133 is provided to guide the moisture near the detection component 131, thereby reducing or avoiding the influence of water molecules on the detection accuracy of the detection component 131.
