[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0028] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a refrigerator with ozone sterilization includes a box body 1 and a door body 2 rotatably arranged thereon, a storage cavity 11 is opened on the box body 1, and the box body 1 is also provided with:
[0029] An ozone generator 3, on which an output pipe 31 is provided;
[0030] The storage seat 4 is horizontally slidably arranged on the lower side of the storage cavity 11 and is located in the box body 1 in the default state. A storage groove 41 and a connecting hole 411 and an outflow groove 42 connected to the storage groove 41 are horizontally opened in the storage seat 4. An exposure groove 12 is opened at the bottom of the storage cavity 11. The storage seat 4 is driven to slide so that the outflow groove 42 is aligned with the exposure groove 12, and the connecting hole 411 is aligned and connected with the output pipe 31.
[0031] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the storage seat 4 is horizontally slidably arranged at the lower side of the storage cavity 11. When the storage seat 4 is driven to slide horizontally, the connecting hole 411 of the storage seat 4 is connected to the output pipe 31 of the ozone generator 3, and the outflow groove 42 is aligned with the exposure groove 12. At this time, the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 3 is filled into the storage cavity 11 along the output pipe 31, the connecting hole 411, the storage groove 41, the outflow groove 42 and the exposure groove 12 to perform disinfection and sterilization. 1, so that the temperature of the storage seat 4 itself is lower than that of the ozone gas. When the ozone gas passes through the storage tank 41 opened horizontally, it is easy to contact the storage tank 41 with a lower temperature, so that the water vapor is located in the storage tank 41 for condensation, and then the generated condensed water is collected in the storage tank 41, avoiding the problem of condensed water flowing back into the gas transmission branch pipe or overflowing to the bottom of the cold storage room, avoiding the problem of damage to the ozone generator 3 or water accumulation in the storage chamber 11 due to condensed water. Secondly, an inclined guide groove can also be opened on the exposed groove 12 to allow the condensed water generated in the storage chamber 11 due to the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the box 1 to flow into the storage tank 41, thereby facilitating the collection and treatment of condensed water, and further avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the storage chamber 11.
[0032] In the above technical solution, after the storage seat 4 is driven to slide horizontally, the connecting hole 411 of the storage seat 4 is connected to the output pipe 31 of the ozone generator 3, and the outflow groove 42 is aligned with the exposure groove 12. At this time, the ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 3 is filled into the storage cavity 11 along the output pipe 31, the connecting hole 411, the storage tank 41, the outflow groove 42 and the exposure groove 12 for disinfection and sterilization. When the ozone gas passes through the horizontally opened storage tank 41, it is easy to contact with the storage tank 41 with a lower temperature, so that the water vapor is located in the storage tank 41 for condensation, and then the generated condensed water is collected in the storage tank 41, so as to avoid the problem of condensed water backflowing into the gas transmission branch pipe or condensed water overflowing to the bottom of the cold storage room, and to avoid the problem of damage to the ozone generator 3 or water accumulation in the storage cavity 11 due to condensed water.
[0033] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a locking groove 21 is provided on the door body 2 , and the storage seat 4 is driven to slide and the first end is embedded in the locking groove 21 to lock the door body 2 on the box body 1 .
[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the right end of the storage seat 4 is the first end. When the storage seat 4 is driven to slide to the right from the default state and the right end of the storage seat 4 is embedded in the locking groove 21 of the door body 2, the door body 2 and the box body 1 are locked through the storage seat 4, thereby achieving the locking of the door body 2 and the box body 1 when the ozone generator 3 is working, avoiding the user from accidentally opening the door body 2 and causing ozone overflow to cause physical discomfort to the personnel, thereby improving the safety of use.
[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a telescopic cylinder 51, a push plate 52 and a mounting screw 6. The push plate 52 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 51. The mounting screw 6 passes through the through hole 45 opened on the storage seat 4 and the threaded hole 521 opened on the push plate 52 to fix the storage seat 4 and the push plate 52.
[0036] Specifically, Figure 5As shown, the telescopic cylinder 51 is arranged in the box body 1, and the installation screw 6 installs the storage seat 4 and the push plate 52 into one piece through the threaded hole 521 and the through hole 45. When the ozone generator 3 is working, the telescopic cylinder 51 extends to drive the push plate 52 to push the storage seat 4 to slide horizontally. At this time, the storage seat 4 slides from the default state to the first end of the storage seat 4 is embedded in the door body 2. The telescopic cylinder 51 and the push plate 52 are used to drive the horizontal sliding of the storage seat 4, and the installation screw 6 is used to make the storage seat 4 and the push plate 52 detachable. When a lot of condensed water is collected in the storage tank 41 of the storage seat 4, the storage seat 4 and the push plate 52 can be separated by installing the screw 6, and the storage seat 4 can be taken out to dump the condensed water, which is convenient for actual use. Among them, the telescopic cylinder 51 can be driven by electricity, pneumatic or hydraulic, and the telescopic cylinder 51 belongs to the common technical knowledge of those skilled in the art, and will not be described here.
[0037] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the top inner wall of the storage tank 41 is inclined to form a windward wall.
[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the storage tank 41 close to the storage cavity 11 is the inside of the top, and the inner wall of the top is inclined to form a windward wall. The ozone gas generated by the ozone generator 3 enters the storage tank 41 along the output pipe 31 and the connecting hole 411 and blows toward the windward wall. Then the ozone gas is filled into the storage cavity 11 along the outflow groove 42 and the exposure groove 12. The windward wall in the storage tank 41 is used to increase the contact area with the ozone gas, thereby increasing the condensation rate of the water vapor carried by the ozone gas in the storage tank 41, and further avoiding the problem of condensed water accumulation in the storage cavity 11.
[0039] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a linear engaging groove 43 is provided at the first end of the storage seat 4, and a linear array of protrusions 22 are arranged in the locking groove 21. The first end of the storage seat 4 is engaged in the locking groove 21 so that the protrusion 22 is engaged in the engaging groove 43.
[0040] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the first end of the storage seat 4 is linearly provided with an engaging groove 43, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, a linear array of protrusions 22 is provided in the locking groove 21. When the telescopic cylinder 51 drives the push plate 52 to slide so that the first end of the storage seat 4 is embedded in the locking groove 21, a number of protrusions 22 are embedded in a number of embedding grooves 43, so that the locking stability between the door body 2 and the box body 1 is improved by the mutual embedding between the protrusions 22 and the embedding grooves 43.
[0041] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a flexible fitting 9 is provided on the storage groove 41, a flexible fitting 9 is provided in the connecting hole 411, the storage seat 4 is located in a default state and the blocking member 8 blocks the output tube 31, the storage seat 4 is driven to slide to disengage the blocking member 8 from the output tube 31, and the flexible fitting 9 is coaxially embedded in the output tube 31.
[0042] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, a flexible fitting 9 is provided on the storage tank 41, and a flexible fitting 9 is provided in the connecting hole 411. When the storage seat 4 is located in the box body 1 and is in a default state, the door body 2 is movable relative to the box body 1, and the blocking member 8 blocks the output pipe 31 to prevent the residual ozone in the output pipe 31 from escaping into the storage cavity 11 and causing harm to the human body, thereby improving the safety of use. When the storage cavity 11 is disinfected, the door body 2 is closed relative to the box body 1, the ozone generator 3 works, and the telescopic cylinder 51 drives the push plate 52 to slide so that the first end of the storage seat 4 is embedded in the locking groove 21. At this time, the flexible fitting 9 is coaxially embedded in the output pipe 31 to improve the connection stability between the output pipe 31 and the connecting hole 411, thereby ensuring the stable filling of ozone gas.
[0043] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a linear array of reflux chutes 44 with an inclined bottom is provided on the first end of the storage seat 4, and the lower end of the reflux chute 44 is connected to the outflow groove 42. The storage seat 4 is in a default state so that the reflux chute 44 is located between the box body 1 and the door body 2.
[0044] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, a linear array of reflux chutes 44 with an inclined bottom is provided on the first end of the storage seat 4. Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the reflux chute 44 is connected to the outflow groove 42, and the storage seat 4 is in the default state so that the reflux chute 44 is located between the box body 1 and the door body 2. When the user opens the door body 2 to take items in the storage cavity 11, the surface of the door body 2 is prone to produce condensed water due to the temperature difference. When the door body 2 is closed relative to the box body 1, the condensed water on the door body 2 is prone to flow downward and enter the storage cavity 11 to form water accumulation. Due to the existence of the reflux chute 44, when the storage seat 4 is in the default state, the reflux chute 44 is located between the box body 1 and the door body 2. At this time, the condensed water on the door body 2 is prone to flow downward through a plurality of reflux chute 44 and flow into the storage groove 41 to be collected, thereby further avoiding the problem of condensed water accumulation in the storage cavity 11.
[0045] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, a resistance roller 7 is rotatably provided on the storage seat 4, a flexible contact layer 71 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the resistance roller 7, torsion springs are provided at both ends of the resistance roller 7, and the storage seat 4 is slidably provided in the box body 1 so that the flexible contact layer 71 resists the box body 1 and rolls.
[0046] Specifically, Figure 7 As shown, the resistance roller 7 is rotatably arranged on the storage seat 4, and the resistance roller 7 is provided with a flexible contact layer 71. When the storage seat 4 is driven to slide by the push plate 52, the resistance roller 7 and the flexible contact layer 71 are rolled against the box body 1 to generate vertical vibration on the storage seat 4, thereby facilitating the engagement or disengagement between the blocking member 8 or the flexible engaging member 9 and the output tube 31. Secondly, torsion springs are arranged at both ends of the resistance roller 7. When the storage seat 4 is disassembled and separated from the push plate 52, the torsion spring drives the resistance roller 7 to rotate and push the storage seat 4 to slide away from the box body 1, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the storage seat 4 on the box body 1. When the storage seat 4 is slidably loaded into the box body 1, the resistance roller 7 is rolled against the box body 1 to increase the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring.
[0047] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
