Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household electrical appliances, in particular to a refrigeration device. Background Art
[0002] For air-cooled refrigerators, according to existing tests: when the ambient temperature is 30°C, the temperature inside the refrigerator will rise by 5°C-6°C if the refrigerator door is opened for 10 seconds. If it is opened for 1-2 minutes, the temperature inside the refrigerator will reach the external ambient temperature. After closing the refrigerator door, if the compartment temperature returns to the set temperature, the compressor must continue to run for at least 20 minutes. Under the existing technology, a large amount of cold energy is lost when the refrigerator door is opened. The refrigerator door opening stage will not only cause huge temperature fluctuations in the compartment, affecting the preservation effect of food, but also increase the power consumption of the refrigerator accordingly.
[0003] At present, the internal air flow of conventional refrigerators is a circulation inside the refrigerator compartment, and there is no gas exchange with the outside world. The air blown by the fan enters the compartment through the air duct, and then passes through the return air port and the evaporator before being sucked in by the fan. As food is put into the refrigerator, odor will be generated inside the compartment, and the air circulation inside the refrigerator circulates inside the compartment and is not connected to the outside world. This will cause the odor inside the refrigerator to enter all corners of the refrigerator with the flow of wind, and it cannot be eradicated.
[0004] Take the wine cabinet as an example. In the actual use of the wine cabinet, users not only store wine, but also put juice, carbonated drinks, tea and other ingredients together. Due to the wide variety of storage, each beverage and ingredient has its own unique smell. In order to ensure normal refrigeration performance, the internal gas of the wine cabinet often works in the form of internal circulation. As time goes by, the flavors of various ingredients will gather more and more, causing the internal odor to gradually increase. Since the gas circulation of the air-cooled wine cabinet is an internal circulation, the odorous gas will always circulate in the wine cabinet, resulting in the inability to efficiently remove the odor in the room.

[0040] Take the wine cabinet as an example. When users actually use the wine cabinet, in addition to storing wine, they are also accustomed to putting in ingredients such as fruit juice, carbonated drinks, and tea. Due to the wide variety of storage, each beverage and ingredient has its own unique smell. In order to ensure normal refrigeration performance, the internal gas of the wine cabinet often works in the form of internal circulation. As time goes on, the flavors of various ingredients will gather more and more, causing the internal odor to gradually increase. Since the gas circulation of the air-cooled wine cabinet is an internal circulation, the odorous gas will always circulate in the wine cabinet, resulting in the inability to efficiently remove the odor in the room. The present application provides a refrigeration device that can solve the above technical problems.

[0090] When the refrigeration cycle is in progress for the refrigeration chamber 111, the damper assembly 300 controls the return air port 132 to open, and the refrigeration fan drives the gas in the refrigeration air duct 210 to enter the refrigeration chamber 111 from the air inlet 131, and then passes through the return air port 132 and the return air duct 140 in turn to return to the refrigeration air duct 210, forming a refrigeration cycle.
[0091] When it is necessary to remove odor from the refrigeration chamber 111, the damper assembly 300 controls the return air duct 140 to close and the exhaust duct 150 to open, and the refrigeration fan drives the gas in the refrigeration chamber 111 to enter the refrigeration duct 210 through the air inlet 131. The gas in the refrigeration duct 210 passes through the exhaust duct 150, and the gas is discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100, so as to remove odor from the refrigeration equipment.
[0092] In the present invention, the return air duct 140 is connected to the refrigeration air duct 210 and the refrigeration compartment 111, and is used for returning air to the refrigeration compartment 111; the refrigeration air duct 210 is connected to the refrigeration compartment 111, and is used for providing cooling to the refrigeration compartment 111. The refrigeration air duct 210 and the return air duct 140 are provided to form a refrigeration cycle for the refrigeration compartment 111.
[0093] The inlet of the exhaust duct 150 is connected to the refrigeration duct 210; the outlet of the exhaust duct 150 is connected to the outside of the cabinet 100, and the exhaust duct 150 and the return duct 140 are provided with a damper assembly 300, which can selectively open and close the corresponding exhaust duct 150 and the return duct 140. After the damper assembly 300 controls the exhaust duct 150 to open, the refrigeration fan can drive the gas in the refrigeration duct 210 to flow toward the exhaust duct 150, so that the gas in the refrigeration compartment 111 can be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 through the refrigeration duct 210 and the exhaust duct 150 in sequence, so that the odor in the refrigeration compartment 111 can be effectively discharged.
