[0009] When the vessel is installed in the refrigeration barrel, the vessel is thermally connected to the refrigeration barrel, so that the refrigeration system can cool the vessel through the refrigeration barrel.

[0010] It is understandable that by using a container to hold items and utilizing the thermal connection between the container and the refrigeration barrel in the sealed chamber, the refrigeration system can refrigerate the container through the refrigeration barrel, thereby realizing rapid refrigeration of the items in the container. In the process, no odor will be introduced and no other food in the refrigerator will be affected. At the same time, since the container can be detachably installed in the refrigeration barrel, it is convenient for users to use the container to hold items, which has the effect of improving the user experience.

[0011] In one embodiment, the refrigeration barrel has an inner wall, the container has an outer wall, the outer wall is matched with the inner wall, and the outer wall can be attached to and thermally connected with the inner wall;

[0012] Wherein, the refrigeration barrel and the container are both configured as heat conducting parts.

[0013] It can be understood that the thermal connection between the refrigeration barrel and the container is achieved by using the fit between the inner wall and the outer wall, so that heat can be quickly transferred between the container and the refrigeration barrel to ensure rapid cooling of the items in the container.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the refrigeration barrel is configured as a metal refrigeration barrel;

[0015] And / or, the vessel is configured as a stainless steel vessel.

[0016] In one embodiment, the refrigeration system includes a refrigeration evaporator tube, and the refrigeration evaporator tube is used to refrigerate the refrigeration barrel;

[0017] Wherein, the refrigeration evaporator tube is attached to the refrigeration barrel in a winding manner.

[0018] It can be understood that the refrigeration evaporator tube is attached to the refrigeration barrel in a winding manner, which can increase the contact area between the refrigeration evaporator tube and the refrigeration barrel, so as to improve the heat exchange efficiency during heat exchange between the refrigeration evaporator tube and the refrigeration barrel, so that the refrigeration system can achieve rapid cooling of the refrigeration barrel when working.

[0019] In one embodiment, the refrigeration system further includes an evaporator and a control valve, the control valve, the refrigeration evaporation tube and the evaporator are sequentially connected in series to form a first flow path, the control valve and the evaporator are connected in series to form a second flow path, and the second flow path is connected in parallel with the first flow path;

[0020] The control valve is used to control the switching connection between the first flow path and the second flow path.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, a stirring impeller is disposed in the container, and when the container is installed in the refrigeration barrel, the stirring impeller can stir the items placed in the container.

[0023] It is understandable that the stirring impeller is used to stir the items in the container, which can further improve the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration barrel when refrigerating the items in the container.

[0024] In one embodiment, the vessel is further provided with a temperature probe, which can detect the temperature of the items in the vessel and generate a feedback signal;

[0025] Wherein, the refrigeration system can control the refrigeration of the refrigeration barrel according to the feedback signal.

[0026] It can be understood that the feedback signal generated when the temperature probe is used to detect the items in the container is used to control the refrigeration of the refrigeration barrel by the refrigeration system, so that the refrigeration barrel can be automatically controlled by the refrigeration system.

[0027] In one of the embodiments, the vessel is provided with a power connector, and the power connector can be plugged into and matched with the refrigeration barrel so that the power connector is powered.

[0028] In one embodiment, the vessel is provided with a handle, and the handle can be grasped by a human hand;

[0029] When the container is installed in the refrigeration barrel, the handle is arranged on the outside of the refrigeration barrel.

[0030] It can be understood that the user can extract the vessel through the handle, which makes it easier for the user to take the vessel.

[0031] In one embodiment, the refrigerator further comprises a speaker. When the refrigeration barrel lowers the temperature of the items in the container to a target value, the speaker can operate and emit a prompt sound to alert the user.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the refrigerator 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a refrigerator body 10, a refrigeration barrel 20, a refrigeration system 30 and a container 40. The refrigerator body 10 has a closed chamber 11, and the refrigeration barrel 20 is installed in the closed chamber 11; the refrigeration system 30 is installed in the refrigerator body 10, and the refrigeration system 30 can selectively refrigerate the refrigeration barrel 20; the container 40 is detachably installed in the refrigeration barrel 20 for containing articles (not shown); when the container 40 is installed in the refrigeration barrel 20, the container 40 is thermally connected to the refrigeration barrel 20 so that the refrigeration system 30 can refrigerate the container 40 through the refrigeration barrel 20. Here, the articles are specifically hot foods such as soy milk and porridge. It should be noted that the above-mentioned container 40 is thermally connected to the refrigeration barrel 20, specifically to the point that heat transfer can be performed between the container 40 and the refrigeration barrel 20.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, when the user uses the refrigerator 100, the container 40 can be used to hold items, and the thermal connection between the container 40 and the refrigeration barrel 20 located in the closed chamber 11 is used to enable the refrigeration system 30 to refrigerate the container 40 through the refrigeration barrel 20, so that the rapid refrigeration of the items in the container 40 can be achieved. In this process, no cross-flavor will be caused, and no other food in the refrigerator 100 will be affected. At the same time, since the container 40 is detachably installed in the refrigeration barrel 20, it is convenient for the user to use the container 40 to hold items, which has the effect of improving the user's experience. It should be noted that the closed chamber 11 on the refrigerator body 10 of the present application can be used for the container 40 to enter and exit. How the closed chamber 11 placed on the refrigerator body 10 is formed can be specifically set according to the needs of use, and will not be elaborated here.

[0046] It should be noted that the refrigerator body 10 of the present application also has a refrigerated fresh-keeping chamber 12, a refrigerator chamber 13 and a freezer chamber 14. The number of refrigerated fresh-keeping chambers 12 is configured to be two, the two refrigerated fresh-keeping chambers 12 are stacked, and are arranged at the same height position of the refrigerator body 10 as the closed chamber 11; the refrigerator chamber 13 is arranged above the refrigerated fresh-keeping chamber 12 and the closed chamber 11 in the vertical direction, and the freezer chamber 14 is arranged below the refrigerated fresh-keeping chamber 12 and the closed chamber 11 in the vertical direction.

[0047] like Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the refrigeration barrel 20 has an inner wall 21, and the container 40 has an outer wall 41, and the outer wall 41 is matched with the inner wall 21, and the outer wall 41 can be attached to and thermally connected with the inner wall 21. The container 40 installed in the refrigeration barrel 20 can transfer heat to the refrigeration barrel 20 through the attachment between the inner wall 21 and the outer wall 41, which can increase the contact area of ​​heat transfer between the refrigeration barrel 20 and the container 40, so that heat is quickly transferred between the container 40 and the refrigeration barrel 20, thereby ensuring rapid refrigeration of the items in the container 40. Here, the refrigeration barrel 20 and the container 40 are both configured as heat conducting members.

[0048] Preferably, the refrigeration barrel 20 is configured as a metal refrigeration barrel; and / or the container 40 is configured as a stainless steel container, so that the heat of the items in the container 40 can be quickly transferred to the refrigeration barrel 20. Here, the material of the refrigeration barrel 20 can be aluminum alloy, copper, etc. It should be noted that the stainless steel material of the container 40 can meet the use requirements of the container 40 for holding food.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration system 30 includes a refrigeration evaporator tube 31, which is attached to the refrigeration barrel 20 in a winding manner and is used to refrigerate the refrigeration barrel 20. In this way, the contact area between the refrigeration evaporator tube 31 and the refrigeration barrel 20 can be increased to improve the heat exchange efficiency during the heat exchange between the refrigeration evaporator tube 31 and the refrigeration barrel 20, so that the refrigeration system 30 can achieve rapid refrigeration of the refrigeration barrel 20 when working. It should be noted that when the refrigeration system 30 uses the refrigeration evaporator tube 31 to refrigerate the refrigeration barrel 20, a refrigerant is conducted in the refrigeration evaporator tube 31, and the refrigerant can exchange heat with the refrigeration barrel 20 through the refrigeration evaporator tube 31 when passing through the refrigeration evaporator tube 31, so as to achieve the refrigeration operation of the refrigeration barrel 20.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration system 30 also includes an evaporator 32 and a control valve 33. The control valve 33, the refrigeration evaporation pipe 31 and the evaporator 32 are connected in series in sequence to form a first flow path 101. The control valve 33 and the evaporator 32 are connected in series to form a second flow path 102, and the second flow path 102 is connected in parallel with the first flow path 101; wherein the control valve 33 is used to control the switching conduction between the first flow path 101 and the second flow path 102. That is to say, when the refrigeration system 30 is working, the control valve 33 can be used to control whether the refrigerant is conducted in the refrigeration evaporation pipe 31, so that the automatic control of whether the refrigeration barrel 20 is refrigerated or not can be realized, and when the refrigeration system 30 refrigerates the refrigeration barrel 20, it will not affect the original refrigeration work of the refrigerator 100. Here, the control valve 33 is a currently existing flow switching valve.

[0051] It should be noted that if Figure 3As shown, the refrigeration system 30 also includes a compressor 34, a condenser 35, a filter dryer 36 and a return air pipe assembly 37. The compressor 34, the condenser 35, the filter dryer 36 and the control valve 33 are sequentially connected along the flow direction of the refrigerant, and the evaporator 32 can be connected to the compressor 34 through the return air pipe assembly 37. When the refrigeration barrel 20 does not need to be refrigerated, the refrigeration system 30 works and starts the compressor 34, the control valve 33 conducts the second flow path 102, and the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 34 will flow through the condenser 35, the filter dryer 36, the control valve 33 and the evaporator 32 in sequence, and then return to the compressor 34 through the return air pipe assembly 37; when the refrigeration barrel 20 needs to be refrigerated, the refrigeration system 30 works and starts the compressor 34, the control valve 33 conducts the first flow path 101, and the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 34 will flow through the condenser 35, the filter dryer 36, the control valve 33, the refrigeration evaporation pipe 31 and the evaporator 32 in sequence, and then return to the compressor 34 through the return air pipe assembly 37.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, a stirring impeller 42 is provided in the container 40. When the container 40 is installed in the refrigeration barrel 20, the stirring impeller 42 can stir the items placed in the container 40, which can accelerate the heat dissipation of the items in the container 40, so as to further improve the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration barrel 20 when refrigerating the items in the container 40.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the container 40 is also provided with a temperature probe 43, which can detect the temperature of the items in the container 40 and generate a feedback signal; and the refrigeration system 30 can control the refrigeration of the refrigeration barrel 20 according to the feedback signal. In other words, the refrigerator 100 can control the refrigeration of the refrigeration barrel 20 by the refrigeration system 30 according to the temperature of the items in the container 40 detected by the temperature probe 43, so that the refrigeration system 30 can automatically control the refrigeration of the refrigeration barrel 20. Here, the temperature probe 43 is installed on the stirring impeller 42.

[0054] In one embodiment, a power connector (not shown) is provided on the vessel 40, and the power connector can be plugged into the refrigeration barrel 20 to energize the power connector to power the stirring impeller 42 and the temperature probe 43 on the vessel 40. Of course, in other embodiments, a battery can also be built into the vessel 40, and the battery can be used to power the stirring impeller 42 and the temperature probe 43.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the vessel 40 is provided with a handle 44, which can be grasped by a human hand, so that it is convenient for the user to take the vessel 40. Here, when the vessel 40 is installed in the refrigeration barrel 20, the handle 44 is arranged on the outside of the refrigeration barrel 20, so that the setting of the handle 44 on the vessel 40 does not affect the assembly of the vessel 40 in the refrigeration barrel 20.

[0056] In one embodiment, the refrigerator 100 further includes a speaker (not shown). When the refrigeration barrel 20 lowers the temperature of the items in the container 40 to the target value, the speaker can work and emit a prompt sound to remind the user. This allows the user to intuitively obtain information, so that the user can use the rapid cooling function of the refrigerator. Here, the speaker can emit a buzzing sound to remind the user when working. Here, when the temperature probe 43 on the container 40 detects that the temperature of the items in the container 40 drops to 20°, the speaker can emit a prompt sound to the outside.

[0057] The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0058] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments are within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
