[0029] Next, the embodiments of this specification are described in detail.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the blowing structure of the present application includes an air duct component 1, a first drawer 2, a second drawer 3, an evaporator 4 and a crossbeam 5. Part of the air duct component 1 is located between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3, and is respectively connected to the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3. The air duct component 1 is connected to the space where the evaporator 4 is located, so that the cold air at the evaporator 4 is blown into the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3 through the air duct component 1.

[0031] In one embodiment, the air duct component 1 includes an air outlet pipe 11, an air supply pipe 12, a shifting portion 13, and a fan 14. The air outlet pipe 11 is connected to the air supply pipe 12, and extends from the end of the air supply pipe 12. Specifically, the second drawer 3 includes a front side wall 31 and a rear side wall 32, and the air outlet pipe 11 extends from the air supply pipe 12 to the front side wall 31. The front side wall 31 is a hand-held portion of the second drawer 3, and the user moves the second drawer 3 by touching the front side wall 31.

[0032] The air outlet pipe 11 is located between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3, and is respectively connected to the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3, so that the cold air is blown into the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3 through the air duct component 1. Preferably, the length of the air outlet pipe 11 is not less than the length of the air supply pipe 12, so that the air duct component 1 is located between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3 as much as possible, so as to avoid the air duct component 1 occupying additional space, and at the same time, the cold air is blown into the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3 more conveniently and evenly.

[0033] Further integration Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet pipe 11 includes an air outlet portion 111 and a pipe body 112. The pipe body 112 is connected to the air supply pipe 12, and the air outlet portion 111 is arranged on the pipe body 112. The air outlet portion 111 is connected to the pipe body 112, and is also connected to the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3 respectively. The air outlet portion 111 protrudes from the pipe body 112 in a direction away from the pipe body 112, so as to facilitate and better guide the cold air.

[0034] To ensure that the cold air is blown more evenly into the storage space, multiple air outlets 111 are provided and are spaced apart on the side of the pipe body 112. Further, the air outlets 111 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the pipe body 112, and multiple air outlets 111 are provided on each side.

[0035] Specifically, the air outlet 111 includes a first air outlet 1111 and a second air outlet 1112. The first air outlet 1111 and the second air outlet 1112 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the pipe body 112, and are arranged opposite to each other on the pipe body 112. The first air outlet 1111 protrudes from the pipe body 112 toward the first drawer 2 and is connected to the first drawer 2. The second air outlet 1112 protrudes from the pipe body 112 toward the second drawer 3 and is connected to the second drawer 3.

[0036] Further integration Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the air supply pipe 12 is integrally manufactured with the air outlet pipe 11. The air supply pipe 12 is located below the first drawer 2 and behind the rear side wall 32. In this way, the air duct component 1 is located between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer and behind the second drawer 3, so that the space behind the second drawer 3 can be better utilized, thereby releasing the space at the first drawer 2, making the first drawer 2 larger, with more storage space and higher space utilization.

[0037] Specifically, the air supply pipe 12 is located between the evaporator 4 and the rear side wall 32. The air supply pipe 12 is connected to the space where the evaporator 4 is located and is close to the space where the evaporator 4 is located, so that the cold air at the evaporator 4 quickly enters the air supply pipe 12 to prevent cold air loss.

[0038] The air supply pipe 12 includes a connection portion 121. A fan 14 is installed at the connection portion 121 and is located inside the air supply pipe 12. The fan 14 is connected to the space where the evaporator 4 is located, and the cold air at the evaporator 4 enters the air duct component 1 more efficiently through the fan 14, and then blows into the storage space.

[0039] In order to ensure high efficiency of cold air delivery in the air duct component 1 , a plurality of fans 14 are provided on the air supply pipe 12 , and the number of the connecting portions 121 corresponds to the number of the fans 14 one by one.

[0040] In one embodiment, the stopper 13 is extended from the end of the air outlet pipe 11, and the extension direction of the stopper 13 is opposite to the extension direction of the air outlet pipe 11. Specifically, the stopper 13 and the air outlet pipe 11 are arranged opposite to the air supply pipe 12, and the air supply pipe 12 is located below the stopper 13. The stopper 13 is used to shield the evaporator 4 and facilitate the installation of the air duct component 1.

[0041] Further integration Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the first drawer 2 is located above the second drawer 3, and the first drawer 2 includes an air inlet 21 and a grille cover 22. The air inlet 21 is provided on the bottom plate of the first drawer 2, and the first drawer 2 is connected to the first air outlet 1111 through the air inlet 21.

[0042] To ensure that more cold air enters the first drawer 2, a plurality of air inlets 21 are provided. A grille cover 22 is provided at the air inlet 21 to prevent items in the first drawer 2 from falling into the air outlet duct 11. To better prevent items from falling, the grille cover 22 is located in the first drawer 2. The number of grille covers 22 corresponds to the number of air inlets 21, and the number of air inlets 21 corresponds to the number of first air outlets 1111.

[0043] In one embodiment, the evaporator 4 is disposed below the shifting portion 13. The crossbeam 5 is located between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3, and the crossbeam 5 is used to fit the door seal. The crossbeam 5 and the air outlet pipe 11 are spaced apart. Specifically, since the crossbeam 5 is sandwiched between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3, the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3 cannot be close to each other, thereby allowing more space between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3. The air outlet pipe 11 is located behind the crossbeam 5, that is, between the first drawer 2 and the second drawer 3, so that the air outlet pipe 11 can better utilize the space behind the crossbeam 5, thereby increasing additional storage space.

[0044] The present application also provides a refrigeration device. Figure 5 As shown, the refrigeration device includes a box body 6, a door body 7 and the air supply structure as described above. The air supply structure is located in the box body 6, and the door body 7 is movably connected to the box body 6 to close the storage space in the box body 6. The door body 7 contacts the crossbeam 5 when closed.

[0045] The refrigeration device of the present application may be equipment such as a refrigerator, a freezer or a cold storage.

[0046] The refrigeration device of the present application can better utilize the space behind the beam 5 and the space behind the second drawer 3 by utilizing the above-mentioned air supply structure, so as to save the installation space occupied by the air duct component 1, thereby allowing the first drawer 2 to be designed longer and increase additional storage space, thereby improving the market competitiveness of the refrigeration device.

[0047] The above is only a preferred implementation mode of the present application, and does not constitute any form of limitation to the present application. Although the present application has been disclosed as a preferred implementation mode as above, it is not used to limit the present application. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modify the technical contents disclosed above into equivalent implementation modes without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above implementation modes based on the technical essence of the present application without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present application still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
