[0043] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0044] Please refer to the following Figures 1 to 11 An air volume distribution assembly and a refrigerator according to an embodiment of the utility model are described.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the air volume distribution component of the embodiment of the utility model is provided with an air inlet 1 and a plurality of air outlets 2, a main air path 3 and a plurality of branch air paths 4 are provided inside the air volume distribution component, the air inlet 1 is connected with the main air path 3, the plurality of branch air paths 4 are all connected with the main air path 3, each branch air path 4 is connected with a plurality of air outlets 2, and the plurality of air outlets 2 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the branch air path 4.

[0046] According to the air volume distribution assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, since the air inlet 1 is connected to the main air passage 3, and the multiple branch air passages 4 are all connected to the main air passage 3, the airflow entering the air volume distribution assembly from the air inlet 1 can be evenly distributed to each branch air passage 4 through the main air passage 3. Since each branch air passage 4 is connected to multiple air outlets 2, and the multiple air outlets 2 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the branch air passage 4, the airflow distributed to each branch air passage 4 can flow out evenly through the corresponding air outlets 2.

[0047] It can be understood that the main air path 3 can disperse the airflow entering the air inlet 1, and the branch air path 4 can further disperse the airflow in the main air path 3, thereby making the air outlet 2 of the air volume distribution component discharge air evenly, ensuring the uniformity of air volume distribution, which is beneficial to ensuring the uniformity of temperature in the refrigeration compartment 81 and improving the quality of food storage.

[0048] In other words, the air volume distribution assembly of the embodiment of the utility model can evenly distribute the cold air flow to various places, so that the temperature of different parts of the food is close and the fluctuation is small, which is conducive to the preservation of food and prolongs the shelf life of food. There is no phenomenon of local overcooling of large air outlets blowing directly to local parts of the food, thereby avoiding the problem of food deterioration or damage caused by uneven temperature of the food itself.

[0049] It should be noted that there may be one or more main air ducts 3, and this application does not limit this.

[0050] Take the scheme with multiple main air passages 3 as an example. Multiple main air passages 3 are connected to the air inlet 1, each main air passage 3 corresponds to a plurality of branch air passages 4, and the plurality of branch air passages 4 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the corresponding main air passage 3. It can be understood that the airflow entering the air inlet 1 can be dispersed into each main air passage 3, and since each main air passage 3 corresponds to a plurality of branch air passages 4, the airflow can be further dispersed, thereby improving the uniformity of the air output of the air volume distribution component.

[0051] In one example, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main air path 3 includes a first main path 31 and a second main path 32, and the first main path 31 and the second main path 32 extend in opposite directions. Figure 2As shown, the first main road 31 extends horizontally to the left, and the second main road 32 extends horizontally to the right. Several branch wind roads 4 are connected to the first main road 31 and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the corresponding first main road 31. Several branch wind roads 4 are connected to the second main road 32 and are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the corresponding second main road 32. The extension direction of any one of the first main road 31 and the second main road 32 is orthogonal to the extension direction of the branch wind road 4. Since each branch wind road 4 is provided with a plurality of air outlets 2 arranged at intervals along its extension direction, the arrangement form of the air outlets 2 of the air volume distribution component is generally in the shape of a chessboard. In other words, the plurality of air outlets 2 are distributed in a matrix. This can improve the uniformity of the air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component.

[0052] In another example, if Figure 4 As shown, the main air path 3 includes a first main path 31 and a second main path 32 which are arranged at intervals. The first main path 31 and the second main path 32 extend in the same direction. In other words, the first main path 31 and the second main path 32 are arranged side by side and extend in the same direction. A number of branch air paths 4 are connected to the first main path 31 and are arranged on one side of the width direction of the main air path 3, and a number of branch air paths 4 are connected to the second main path 32 and are arranged on the other side of the width direction of the main air path 3, so that the airflow distributed by the air volume distribution component can be gradually dispersed from the center to the edge. It can be understood that the arrangement of the above-mentioned main air path 3 and branch air paths 4 is generally distributed in a dendrite-like (fishbone-like) manner to improve the uniformity of the air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component.

[0053] For example, in the direction from the end of the branch air passage 4 adjacent to the main air passage 3 to the end of the branch air passage 4 away from the main air passage 3, the branch air passage 4 gradually tilts away from the air inlet 1. Figure 4 As shown, the air inlet 1 is arranged adjacent to the rear side of the air volume distribution component, and the main air path 3 gradually extends toward the front side of the air volume distribution component. In the direction from one end of the branch air path 4 adjacent to the main air path 3 to the end of the branch air path 4 away from the main air path 3, the branch air path 4 gradually extends obliquely toward the front side of the air volume distribution component. On the one hand, the resistance of the air flow from the main air path 3 to the branch air path 4 can be reduced, reducing wind loss. On the other hand, the air discharged from the branch air path 4 can flow toward the front side of the air volume distribution component, improving the uniformity of the air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component and reducing the temperature fluctuation in the refrigeration compartment 81.

[0054] For example, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the extension direction of any one of the first main path 31 and the second main path 32 is orthogonal to the extension direction of the branch air path 4. As a result, the arrangement of the air outlets 2 of the air volume distribution component can be roughly in the shape of a chessboard. In other words, the multiple air outlets 2 are distributed in a matrix to improve the uniformity of the air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component.

[0055] In another example, if Figure 3As shown, there is one main air passage 3, one end of which along the extension direction is connected to the air inlet 1, and a plurality of branch air passages 4 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the main air passage 3, and a plurality of branch air passages 4 are arranged on one side of the width direction of the main air passage 3, and a plurality of branch air passages 4 are arranged on the other side of the width direction of the main air passage 3. It can be understood that the branch air passages 4 located on both sides of the width direction of the main air passage 3 share one main air passage 3, thereby facilitating the processing and manufacturing of the air volume distribution assembly.

[0056] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the air volume distribution component is provided with an air splitter 7, which is provided at the end of the main air path 3 away from the air inlet 1, and the air splitter 7 has a cone tip 71, which extends toward the direction of the air inlet 1. The air volume distribution component of the embodiment of the utility model can avoid the formation of turbulence in the air flow at the end of the main air path 3 away from the air inlet 1 by providing the air splitter 7, so as to avoid affecting the circulation efficiency of the air flow. It can be understood that the air splitter 7 and the cone tip 71 can guide and separate the air flow, so as to guide the air flow on the main air path 3 to the branch air paths 4 on the left and right sides respectively.

[0057] For example, the distances between the cone tip 71 and the left and right sides of the main air passage 3 may be substantially equal.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, in the direction from one end of the main air path 3 adjacent to the air inlet 1 to the end of the main air path 3 away from the air inlet 1, the total ventilation area of ​​the air outlet 2 corresponding to the multiple branch air paths 4 increases successively. It can be understood that the air inlet 1 is arranged adjacent to the rear side of the air volume distribution component, and the airflow entering the main air path 3 will flow from the back to the front. In the direction from the back to the front, the total ventilation area of ​​the air outlet 2 corresponding to the multiple branch air paths 4 increases successively. In other words, the total ventilation area of ​​the air outlet 2 corresponding to the branch air path 4 adjacent to the air inlet 1 is smaller, and the total ventilation area of ​​the air outlet 2 corresponding to the branch air path 4 away from the air inlet 1 is larger. In this way, the problem of excessive local cooling caused by excessive air flow velocity adjacent to the air inlet 1 can be solved, and the uniformity of air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component can be improved.

[0059] Alternatively, if Figure 7As shown, in the direction from one end of the main air path 3 adjacent to the air inlet 1 to the end of the main air path 3 away from the air inlet 1, the apertures of the air outlets 2 corresponding to the multiple branch air paths 4 increase successively. It can be understood that the apertures of the air outlets 2 on the branch air paths 4 adjacent to the air inlet 1 area are smaller, and the apertures of the air outlets 2 on the branch air paths 4 away from the air inlet 1 area are larger. Since the wind speed in the area adjacent to the air inlet 1 is relatively high, by reducing the apertures of the air outlets 2 on the branch air paths 4 adjacent to the air inlet 1 area, the air volume allocated to the branch air paths 4 adjacent to the air inlet 1 area can be reduced, so that the air volumes allocated to the branch air paths 4 adjacent to the air inlet 1 area and the branch air paths 4 away from the air inlet 1 area are roughly equal, thereby improving the uniformity of air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component.

[0060] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, in the direction from one end of the branch wind path 4 adjacent to the main wind path 3 to the end of the branch wind path 4 away from the main wind path 3, the distance between two adjacent air outlets 2 decreases successively. It can be understood that in the flow direction of the airflow in the branch wind path 4, the distance between two adjacent air outlets 2 decreases successively. Since the wind speed of the air outlet 2 in the area adjacent to the main wind path 3 is relatively high, in the flow direction of the airflow in the branch wind path 4, the air outlets 2 are arranged more and more densely, which can increase the air volume allocated to the air outlet 2 away from the main wind path 3 area, so that the air volume allocated to the air outlet 2 in the area adjacent to the main wind path 3 and the air outlet 2 away from the main wind path 3 area is roughly equal, thereby improving the uniformity of air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component.

[0061] Alternatively, if Figure 7 As shown, in the direction from one end of the main air path 3 adjacent to the air inlet 1 to the end of the main air path 3 away from the air inlet 1, the air outlets 2 corresponding to the multiple branch air paths 4 are gradually arranged close to the main air path 3. It can be understood that, since the wind speed of the air outlet 2 in the area adjacent to the main air path 3 is relatively high, in the direction from back to front, the air outlets 2 corresponding to the multiple branch air paths 4 are gradually arranged close to the main air path 3, so that the air volume distributed by the multiple branch air paths 4 can be roughly balanced.

[0062] For another example, in the direction from one end of the main air path 3 adjacent to the air inlet 1 to the end of the main air path 3 away from the air inlet 1, the arrangement lengths of the air outlets 2 corresponding to the plurality of branch air paths 4 gradually increase, and the air volumes allocated to the branch air paths 4 in the area adjacent to the air inlet 1 and the branch air paths 4 in the area away from the air inlet 1 can be made roughly equal, thereby improving the uniformity of the air volume distribution of the air volume distribution component.

[0063] In some embodiments, the air outlet direction of the air outlet 2 adjacent to the edge of the air volume distribution component is arranged parallel to the thickness direction of the air volume distribution component. A storage cavity 9 is provided in the drawer of the refrigeration compartment 81. It can be understood that the air outlet direction of the air outlet 2 adjacent to the edge of the air volume distribution component is parallel to the up and down direction of the storage cavity 9, thereby preventing the air outlet 2 adjacent to the edge of the air volume distribution component from blowing cold air to the outside of the storage cavity 9, thereby preventing the phenomenon of ineffective air supply.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 6 As shown, the air outlet direction of the air outlet 2 away from the edge of the air volume distribution component is inclined in the direction away from the air inlet 1. It can be understood that the air outlet direction of the air outlet 2 away from the edge of the storage cavity 9 gradually shifts toward the front side of the storage cavity 9, thereby ensuring that more cold air returns to the back side of the storage cavity 9 after participating in heat exchange from the front side of the storage cavity 9, thereby improving the effect of cold volume circulation of the storage cavity 9.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the air volume distribution assembly includes a first plate 5 and a second plate 6, the second plate 6 is arranged on one side of the first plate 5 in the thickness direction, the air inlet 1, the main air path 3 and the branch air path 4 are formed on the first plate 5, and the air outlet 2 is formed on the second plate 6. This facilitates the processing and manufacturing of the air volume distribution assembly, and the structure is simple.

[0066] Specifically, Fig. 9 As shown, the first plate 5 includes a main body 51 and a raised portion 52, the raised portion 52 is connected to the main body 51 and protrudes relative to the main body 51, and the main air passage 3 and the branch air passage 4 are surrounded by the main body 51 and the raised portion 52. Therefore, it is convenient to form the main air passage 3 and the branch air passage 4 on the first plate 5, the structure is simple, and the processing and forming is convenient.

[0067] For example, the first plate 5 and the second plate 6 are an integrated structure. Specifically, the air volume distribution assembly is an integrally injected plastic plate to reduce the number of components to be assembled.

[0068] For example, Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the first plate 5 and the second plate 6 are split structures. Specifically, the first plate 5 and the second plate 6 can be connected by various assembly methods such as bonding, screwing or clamping. When assembling the air volume distribution assembly, the air outlet 2 on the second plate 6 needs to correspond to the branch air path 4 on the first plate 5.

[0069] In the example of the present application, the first plate 5 is a foam plate, and the second plate 6 is a plastic plate. By designing the first plate 5 as a foam plate, the heat preservation effect of the air volume distribution assembly can be improved, and it is convenient to process the main air path 3 and the branch air path 4 on the plate. Designing the second plate 6 as a plastic plate can ensure the structural strength of the air volume distribution assembly and reduce the probability of damage to the air volume distribution assembly due to bumps.

[0070] like Fig.11 As shown, a refrigerator according to another embodiment of the utility model comprises a box body 8 and an air volume distribution assembly of the utility model. The box body 8 has a refrigeration compartment 81, which may be one or more refrigeration compartments 81, and an air inlet 811 is provided on the inner wall of the refrigeration compartment 81. The air volume distribution assembly is assembled on the box body 8, and the air inlet 1 of the air volume distribution assembly is connected to the air inlet 811, and the air volume distribution assembly is used to supply air to the refrigeration compartment 81.

[0071] According to the refrigerator of the embodiment of the utility model, since the air inlet 1 is connected to the main air path 3, and the multiple branch air paths 4 are all connected to the main air path 3, the airflow entering the air volume distribution component from the air inlet 1 can be evenly distributed to each branch air path 4 through the main air path 3. Since each branch air path 4 is connected to multiple air outlets 2, and the multiple air outlets 2 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the branch air path 4, the airflow distributed to each branch air path 4 can flow out evenly through the corresponding air outlet 2. It can be understood that the main air path 3 can disperse the airflow entering the air inlet 1, and the branch air path 4 can further disperse the airflow in the main air path 3, thereby making the air outlet 2 of the air volume distribution component discharge air evenly, ensuring the uniformity of air volume distribution, which is conducive to ensuring the uniformity of temperature in the refrigeration compartment 81 and improving the quality of food storage.

[0072] Specifically, the refrigerator also includes a drawer, which encloses a storage cavity 9. The drawer is installed in the refrigeration chamber 81 in a pull-out manner. The air volume distribution component is arranged directly above the storage cavity 9, so that the air volume distribution component can evenly distribute the cold air into the storage cavity 9.

[0073] Optionally, the air volume distribution assembly is fixedly mounted on the box body 8. It is understandable that the air volume distribution assembly and the box body 8 are not removable, thereby improving the reliability of the installation of the air volume distribution assembly and the box body 8.

[0074] In other examples, the air volume distribution assembly is detachably mounted on the housing 8, so that the user or maintenance personnel can remove the air volume distribution assembly from the housing 8 for subsequent maintenance and replacement. In the above embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation and removal of the air volume distribution assembly, the air volume distribution assembly is provided with a mounting portion (not shown), and the housing 8 is provided with a matching portion (not shown) matching the mounting portion. The mounting portion and the matching portion can be connected in a variety of matching ways such as a snap-fit ​​structure, a guide rail structure, and a plug-in structure.
