Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of refrigeration technology, and in particular to a storage device. Background Art
[0002] At present, most storage devices are usually provided with a water storage chamber, a temperature-changing chamber and a freezing chamber. The water storage chamber, the temperature-changing chamber and the freezing chamber are spaced apart in the upper and lower directions. The water storage chamber is used to store water, and an ice maker is installed in the freezing chamber. The ice maker is connected to the water storage chamber through a connecting pipeline, so that water can be transported to the ice maker as needed, so that the ice maker can make ice cubes. In this way, when the height of the storage device is the same, the height of at least one of the water storage chamber, the temperature-changing chamber and the freezing chamber is reduced, thereby reducing the storage capacity of the corresponding chamber. In addition, since the distance between the ice maker and the water storage chamber is far, a longer pipeline is required for water transportation, which increases the cost. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present application proposes a storage device, which aims to solve the problem that when the height of the storage device is the same, the height of at least one of the water storage chamber, the temperature-changing chamber and the freezing chamber is reduced, thereby reducing the storage capacity of the corresponding compartments, and can reduce the length of the pipeline connecting the ice maker and the water storage chamber, saving costs.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a storage device, comprising:
[0005] A box body, wherein a temperature-changing chamber, a freezing chamber and a water storage chamber are formed in the box body, the temperature-changing chamber and the freezing chamber are spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the water storage chamber and the temperature-changing chamber are arranged side by side in the left-right direction;
[0006] An ice maker is installed in the freezing chamber, and a water inlet of the ice maker is communicated with the water storage chamber.
[0007] According to the storage device of the present application, the box body is reasonably divided into a variable temperature room, a freezing room and a water storage room, and the variable temperature room and the freezing room are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the water storage room and the variable temperature room are arranged side by side in the left and right direction. This layout makes the maximum use of the internal space of the box body, and realizes that the height of the water storage room, the variable temperature room and the freezing room can be avoided to be reduced when the height of the storage device is the same, so that the storage device maintains a compact size while providing diversified storage functions. In addition, this design can reduce the height of the storage device in the vertical direction to a certain extent, so that the storage device can be smoothly installed when the installation space in the vertical direction is small. And the length of the pipeline connecting the ice maker and the water storage room can be reduced, saving costs. In addition, this design can also make the depth of the water stored in the water storage room deeper, which provides a stable and continuous water source for the ice maker. When the ice maker is working, it can ensure that it will not be interrupted due to insufficient water source, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of ice making. The potential energy of water is proportional to its height, and water with a higher liquid level has greater potential energy. When water needs to be delivered to the ice machine, a higher liquid level means that the water can flow to the target location faster by its own gravity, reducing the time required for water supply and improving water supply efficiency. Since a higher liquid level can provide greater potential energy, water can more easily overcome pipe resistance, elbows and other flow obstacles, thereby reducing the power required for water pumps or other water supply equipment. This helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of storage equipment or the entire water supply system.

[0042] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0043] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 9 A storage device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.
[0044] It should be noted that the storage device 100 in this embodiment can be understood as a refrigeration storage device in a broad sense, including but not limited to refrigerators, freezers, display cabinets, beverage cabinets, wine cabinets, fresh-keeping cabinets, refrigerated vending machines and other refrigeration storage devices. The storage equipment has various structural forms and a wide range of applications.
[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The storage device 100 includes a box body 110 and an ice maker 121 .
[0046] The box 110 is provided with a temperature-changing chamber 1111, a freezing chamber 1112 and a water storage chamber 1113. Thus, the temperature-changing chamber 1111, the freezing chamber 1112 and the water storage chamber 1113 make the storage device 100 not only a simple refrigeration or freezing device, but also meet the needs of ice making. The temperature-changing chamber 1111 allows food to be stored at different temperatures, meeting the storage needs of different foods; the freezing chamber 1112 is used to store food that needs to be frozen for a long time; and the water storage chamber 1113 provides a water source for the ice maker 121, ensuring the normal operation of the ice maker 121, without the need for an external water pipe, making it more convenient to use.
[0047] The variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezer 1112 are arranged in an up-down interval. This layout maximizes the space utilization inside the storage device and provides users with more storage space. The freezer 1112 usually requires a lower temperature to keep the food fresh, while the variable temperature chamber 1111 needs to be adjusted according to the needs of different foods. By setting the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezer 1112 in an up-down interval, the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezer 1112 can be better separated, reducing the temperature influence between each other, thereby ensuring that the temperature control of each area is more stable. This layout makes the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezer 1112 have obvious partitions inside the storage device, and the user can clearly identify each area and place different foods according to needs. This clear functional partition improves the convenience and efficiency of the storage device. Since the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezer 1112 are arranged in an up-down interval, the user can easily open the corresponding door or drawer as needed to easily take and put food. This design makes the use of the storage device more convenient, especially for users who need to frequently take different foods. The up-down interval setting also provides more flexibility for the design of the storage device.
[0048] The water storage chamber 1113 and the temperature-changing chamber 1111 are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and the left-right direction allows the water storage chamber 1113 and the temperature-changing chamber 1111 to share the space of the same horizontal plane. This layout effectively utilizes the internal space of the storage device 100 and improves the space utilization rate. At the same time, this design also avoids the space waste that may be caused by stacking up and down, making the internal space layout of the storage device 100 more reasonable. This design can reduce the height of the storage device 100 in the up-down direction to a certain extent, so that the storage device 100 can be smoothly installed when the installation space in the up-down direction is small. The water storage chamber 1113 is mainly used to provide water for the ice maker 121, while the temperature-changing chamber 1111 is used to store food that requires specific temperature conditions. The two are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, so that the two functional areas are visually distinguished, which is convenient for users to quickly identify and use. The water storage chamber 1113 and the temperature-changing chamber 1111 are designed side by side, so that users can more conveniently approach and operate these two areas when performing operations such as cleaning, adding water or adjusting the temperature. This design reduces the inconvenience of the user during use and improves the overall ease of use of the storage device 100. Since the water storage chamber 1113 and the temperature-changing chamber 1111 are physically separated, this design helps to reduce the heat exchange between the two, thereby maintaining the temperature stability of each area. The left-right side-by-side arrangement makes the overall layout inside the storage device 100 more symmetrical and beautiful, and improves the visual appeal of the storage device 100. This design also conforms to the aesthetic trend of modern homes, allowing the storage device 100 to be better integrated into various home environments.
[0049] In addition, this design allows the water stored in the water storage chamber 1113 to be deeper, which provides a stable and continuous water source for the ice maker 121. When the ice maker 121 is working, it can ensure that it will not be interrupted due to insufficient water supply, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of ice making. The potential energy of water is proportional to its height, and water with a higher liquid level has greater potential energy. When water needs to be transported to the ice maker 121, the higher liquid level means that the water can flow to the target location faster by its own gravity, reducing the time required for water supply and improving water supply efficiency. Since a higher liquid level can provide greater potential energy, water can more easily overcome pipe resistance, elbows and other flow obstacles, thereby reducing the power required for water pumps or other water supply equipment. This helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of storage equipment or the entire water supply system.
[0050] The ice maker 121 is installed in the freezing chamber 1112, and the water inlet of the ice maker 121 is connected to the water storage chamber 1113. In this way, by installing the ice maker 121 in the freezing chamber 1112, the designer of the storage device can make full use of the free space of the freezing chamber 1112 and avoid taking up extra space in other parts of the storage device. This compact design makes the overall structure of the storage device more compact while ensuring sufficient storage space. The freezing chamber 1112 usually maintains a lower temperature, which is ideal for the operation of the ice maker 121. In a low temperature environment, the ice maker 121 can work more efficiently, reduce energy consumption, and quickly make ice cubes. This design ensures the quality and quantity of ice cubes and meets the user's cold drink needs. The water inlet of the ice maker 121 is connected to the water storage chamber 1113, making the supply of water very convenient. The water storage chamber 1113 can store a certain amount of water in advance, and when the ice maker 121 needs to make ice, it can directly draw the required amount of water from the water storage chamber 1113. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also avoids the cumbersome installation of external water pipes and possible water leakage problems. By directly using the water in the water storage chamber 1113, the energy loss and environmental pollution that may be caused by the external water pipe are reduced. At the same time, since the temperature of the freezing chamber 1112 is suitable, the ice maker 121 can work with less energy consumption, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and environmental protection. The ice maker 121 is built into the freezing chamber 1112, making the appearance of the storage device more neat and beautiful, without additional protruding parts or external devices. This design conforms to the simple style of modern homes and can be better integrated into various home environments.
[0051] According to the storage device 100 of the present application, the box 110 is reasonably divided into a temperature-changing chamber 1111, a freezing chamber 1112 and a water storage chamber 1113, and the temperature-changing chamber 1111 and the freezing chamber 1112 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the water storage chamber 1113 and the temperature-changing chamber 1111 are arranged side by side in the left and right directions. This layout makes the maximum use of the internal space of the box 110, so that the storage device 100 maintains a compact size while providing a variety of storage functions. This design can reduce the height of the storage device 100 in the vertical direction to a certain extent, so that the storage device 100 can be smoothly installed when the vertical installation space is small. The length of the pipeline connecting the ice maker 121 and the water storage chamber 1113 can also be reduced, saving costs. This design can make the depth of the water stored in the water storage chamber 1113 deeper, which provides a stable and continuous water source for the ice maker 121. When the ice maker 121 is working, it can ensure that it will not be interrupted due to insufficient water source, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of ice making. The potential energy of water is proportional to its height, and water with a higher liquid level has greater potential energy. When water needs to be transported to the ice maker 121, a higher liquid level means that the water can flow to the target location faster by its own gravity, reducing the time required for water supply and improving water supply efficiency. Since a higher liquid level can provide greater potential energy, water can more easily overcome pipe resistance, elbows and other flow obstacles, thereby reducing the power required for water pumps or other water supply equipment. This helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency of storage equipment or the entire water supply system.
[0052] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In one embodiment, a mounting chamber 1101 is formed in the housing 110, and a partition 112 is installed in the mounting chamber 1101. The partition 112 is arranged to extend in the front-back direction. The partition 112 is suitable for separating the mounting chamber 1101 into the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the water storage chamber 1113. In this way, the mounting chamber 1101 is separated into the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the water storage chamber 1113 by the partition 112, so that the two areas have clear boundaries in the housing 110. This design allows users to clearly identify the functions of different areas, which is convenient for use and management. Since the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the water storage chamber 1113 are separated by the partition 112, the temperature influence between them is minimized. The variable temperature chamber 1111 can independently adjust the temperature to meet the storage requirements of different foods, while the water storage chamber 1113 does not need to consider temperature control, but only needs to ensure the storage and supply of water. This design helps to improve the overall temperature control stability of the storage device. Since the heat exchange between the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the water storage chamber 1113 is reduced, the energy consumption of the storage device in maintaining the temperature of different areas will also be reduced accordingly. This helps to improve the energy efficiency of the storage equipment and reduce energy consumption. The presence of the partition 112 makes the internal structure of the installation cavity 1101 clearer, which is convenient for installation and maintenance work. If it is necessary to replace or repair parts of the variable temperature chamber 1111 or the water storage chamber 1113, the design of the partition 112 makes these operations more convenient and improves maintenance efficiency. The partition 112 not only plays the role of separating the space, but also enhances the structural stability of the box body 110. It can effectively support and fix the position of the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the water storage chamber 1113, reducing the risk of damage caused by vibration or movement.
[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In one embodiment, along the left-right direction, the partition 112 is arranged adjacent to one side of the installation cavity 1101, so that the volume of the water storage chamber 1113 is smaller than the volume of the variable temperature chamber 1111. In this way, since the variable temperature chamber 1111 usually needs to store more kinds of food, allocating a larger volume to it can ensure sufficient storage space. In contrast, the water storage chamber 1113 is mainly used to supply the water source required by the ice maker 121, and its relatively small volume can meet the demand. This design allows the internal space of the storage device or the storage device 100 to be more reasonably allocated, and improves the space utilization rate. In daily use, the frequency of use and storage demand of the variable temperature chamber 1111 are usually higher than those of the water storage chamber 1113. Therefore, designing the volume of the variable temperature chamber 1111 to be larger can better meet the user's needs for storing various foods and improve the practicality of the storage device or the storage device 100. Since the volume of the water storage chamber 1113 is small, its heat exchange with the external environment is also reduced accordingly, which helps to reduce the energy consumption of the storage device. At the same time, the increase in the volume of the variable temperature chamber 1111 does not mean a significant increase in energy consumption, because the variable temperature chamber 1111 usually adopts an independent temperature control system, which can effectively control its temperature and reduce unnecessary energy loss. The partition 112 is arranged on one side adjacent to the installation cavity 1101, and the volume of the water storage chamber 1113 is controlled to be smaller than the volume of the variable temperature chamber 1111, which helps to maintain the balance and stability of the storage device or the overall structure of the storage device 100. This design can reduce the tilt or shaking caused by uneven weight distribution and ensure the stable operation of the device.
[0054] Reference Figure 2In one embodiment, the ice maker 121 is installed on one side of the freezing chamber 1112 and is arranged adjacent to the water storage chamber 1113. In this way, since the ice maker 121 is arranged adjacent to the water storage chamber 1113, it can directly obtain the required water source from the water storage chamber 1113 to make ice cubes. This close-range water supply method not only reduces the length of the pipeline and the potential risk of leakage, but also improves the water supply efficiency, ensuring that the ice maker 121 can work continuously and stably. Installing the ice maker 121 on one side of the freezing chamber 1112 makes full use of the side wall space of the freezing chamber 1112 and avoids occupying the storage space inside the freezing chamber 1112. This design maximizes the storage space of the freezing chamber 1112 while maintaining the compactness of the overall structure and improving the space utilization of the storage device. The installation position adjacent to the water storage chamber 1113 makes the installation process of the ice maker 121 more convenient and reduces the difficulty and cost of installation. At the same time, this layout also facilitates future maintenance and cleaning work, and users can more easily approach the ice maker 121 for inspection, repair or replacement of parts. The ice maker 121 is arranged adjacent to the water storage chamber 1113, which reduces the connection and bends of water pipes, reduces the water flow resistance, and helps to improve the water supply efficiency. This helps to reduce energy consumption and improve the energy efficiency performance of storage equipment. The proximity of the ice maker 121 to the water storage chamber 1113 makes it more convenient for users to use the ice making function. Users can easily obtain ice cubes without having to move frequently between different areas in the storage device, which improves the convenience of use.
[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the ice maker 121 is located below the water storage chamber 1113. In this way, since the ice maker 121 is located below the water storage chamber 1113, the water in the water storage chamber 1113 can flow to the ice maker 121 naturally by gravity without the need for an additional water pump or pressure equipment. This design simplifies the water supply system, reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs, and also reduces the probability of failure. The gravity water supply method reduces pipe connections and bends, and reduces the risk of leakage caused by improper pipe connections or other reasons. This design improves the stability and reliability of the water supply system and ensures that the ice maker 121 can work continuously and stably. Placing the ice maker 121 below the water storage chamber 1113 can better utilize the vertical space of the storage device or the storage device 100. This layout not only reduces the occupation of horizontal space, but also makes the overall structure more compact and reasonable, and improves space utilization. The ice maker 121 is located below the water storage chamber 1113, making cleaning and maintenance work more convenient. This design helps to improve the energy efficiency performance of the storage device by reducing the complexity of the water supply system and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the stable water supply also ensures the efficient operation of the ice maker 121 and reduces energy waste.
[0056] It should be noted that when a water pump is provided and the water in the water storage chamber 1113 is pumped to the ice maker 121 by the water pump, the ice maker 121 is located below the water storage chamber 1113, which means that water can flow to the ice maker 121 naturally by gravity, thereby reducing the working pressure of the water pump. This can not only extend the service life of the water pump, but also reduce the maintenance and replacement costs caused by water pump failure.
[0057] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the ice maker 121 is connected to the top wall of the freezing chamber 1112, so as to avoid occupying the space at the bottom of the freezing chamber 1112, ensuring that the items to be frozen can make maximum use of the internal space of the freezing chamber 1112. Since the top of the freezing chamber is usually located close to the condenser or other refrigeration components of the refrigeration system, the ice maker 121 is installed on the top of the freezing chamber 1112, so that the ice maker 121 can more effectively utilize the cold generated by these refrigeration components. This design helps to reduce energy loss during the refrigeration process and improve the overall refrigeration efficiency. This design also helps to reduce the noise and vibration generated by the ice maker 121 during operation, providing users with a quieter and more comfortable use experience.
[0058] Reference Figure 2 In one embodiment, the storage device 100 further includes a water storage box 122, which is slidably mounted in the water storage chamber 1113 along the front-rear direction through a sliding structure. In this way, the slidably mounted water storage box 122 can easily slide along the front-rear direction, so that the user can conveniently take out the water storage box 122 for adding water, cleaning or replacement. Such a design reduces the complexity of operation and improves the user experience. Since the water storage box 122 can be easily taken out, cleaning work also becomes simpler.
[0059] It should be noted that the sliding structure is usually designed with a locking mechanism to ensure that the water storage box 122 can be stably fixed in the water storage chamber 1113 after sliding into place, so as to avoid displacement or falling due to vibration during the operation of the storage device or the storage device 100, thereby ensuring the safety of use. The technology of the locking mechanism is mature and this application does not limit it.
[0060] Ginseng Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the sliding structure is arranged near the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 1113. In this way, the sliding structure is arranged near the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 1113, so that the water storage box 122 can obtain better support and stability during the sliding process. The bottom wall is usually relatively strong and stable, which can provide sufficient support for the sliding structure to prevent the water storage box 122 from shaking or tilting during the sliding process, ensuring that it can remain stable under any circumstances. The sliding structure is arranged near the bottom wall to minimize the space required for the water storage box 122 during the sliding process. This design allows the water storage box 122 to be close to the bottom wall after being fully pushed into the water storage chamber 1113, reducing the occupation of the longitudinal space, thereby optimizing the overall spatial layout of the storage device 100. The position near the bottom wall makes it easier for users to access the sliding structure when cleaning and maintaining it. Users can easily clean and maintain the sliding structure to ensure the smooth operation of the sliding structure and extend its service life.
[0061] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 In one embodiment, the sliding structure includes a slide 131 extending in the front-back direction and a slide groove 132 adapted to the slide 131. One of the slide 131 and the slide groove 132 is arranged on the side wall of the water storage box 122, and the other is arranged on the side wall of the water storage chamber 1113. In this way, the cooperation of the slide 131 and the slide groove 132 provides a clear guide for the sliding of the water storage box 122, ensuring that the water storage box 122 can move smoothly along a straight line during the sliding process without deviation or shaking. This stable guiding mechanism enhances the reliability of the sliding of the water storage box 122 and improves the user experience. The design of the slide 131 and the slide groove 132 makes the installation of the water storage box 122 and the water storage chamber 1113 relatively simple. Only by matching the slide 131 with the slide groove 132, the stable installation of the water storage box 122 can be achieved. This simple installation method reduces the complexity of the assembly process and improves production efficiency. The use of the slide 131 and the slide 132 makes the connection between the water storage box 122 and the water storage chamber 1113 tighter, reduces gaps and spaces, and thus improves the overall aesthetics. At the same time, this design also helps to prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt, keeping the storage device 100 clean and tidy.
[0062] Reference Figure 7In an embodiment of the present application, at least part of the side wall surface of the slide 131 facing the chute 132 is set as a circular arc surface, so that the circular arc surface has a natural sliding characteristic, so that the slide 131 can move more smoothly in the chute 132. This can not only reduce the user's sense of resistance when operating the water storage box 122, but also improve the smoothness and stability of the sliding process. Since the circular arc surface has a certain degree of tolerance, even if there is a slight manufacturing error or installation deviation between the slide 131 and the chute 132, it can be compensated to a certain extent by the contact of the curved surface, thereby ensuring the smoothness and stability of the sliding. This design improves the adaptability of the sliding structure and reduces the requirements for manufacturing and installation accuracy. The design of the circular arc surface helps to reduce the noise and vibration that may be generated during the sliding process. The smooth contact surface reduces the noise caused by friction and improves the user experience.
[0063] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, the sliding structure may include a track and roller system, that is, a slide rail or track is installed on the inner wall of the water storage chamber 1113, and the side of the water storage box 122 is equipped with a roller or pulley that matches the track. When the water storage box 122 is pushed, the roller will slide smoothly along the track to achieve the entry and exit of the water storage box 122, so that the water storage box 122 slides smoothly, has low friction, and is easy to operate. In one system, the sliding structure may include a drawer-type slide rail, that is, a drawer-like slide rail system is used, in which the slide rail is fixed to the bottom or side of the water storage chamber 1113, and the water storage box 122 slides through the slider on the slide rail. This structure usually has a locking mechanism to ensure that the water storage box 122 can be stably fixed after sliding into place, so that the structure is stable and has a strong load-bearing capacity.
[0064] Reference Figure 1 In one embodiment, the storage device 100 further includes a temperature-changing drawer 123, which is movably installed in the temperature-changing chamber 1111 along the front-back direction. In this way, the existence of the temperature-changing drawer 123 enables the storage device 100 to have a more flexible temperature control function. The user can adjust the temperature of the temperature-changing drawer 123 according to the storage requirements of different ingredients or items to meet specific storage conditions. This flexibility makes the storage device 100 more adaptable to diverse storage needs. The temperature-changing drawer 123 is movably installed along the front-back direction, which means that the user can easily pull out the drawer and conveniently access the items therein. This design makes the storage process more convenient and improves the user experience. By movably installing the temperature-changing drawer 123 in the temperature-changing chamber 1111, the storage device 100 can make more effective use of space. The movably installed temperature-changing drawer 123 can be easily disassembled and reinstalled, which makes cleaning and maintenance work easier. The user can easily clean the inside of the drawer thoroughly to ensure the hygiene and health of the storage environment.
[0065] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, a refrigerating chamber 1114 is further formed in the box body 110, and the refrigerating chamber 1114, the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezing chamber 1112 are arranged in intervals in the vertical direction. In this way, by arranging the refrigerating chamber 1114, the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezing chamber 1112 in intervals in the vertical direction, the internal space of the storage device 100 is effectively optimized and partitioned. This design makes the function of each area more clear, and the user can easily put different kinds of food or items into the corresponding area according to the storage requirements, thereby improving the utilization rate of space and the convenience of use. Since the refrigerating chamber 1114, the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezing chamber 1112 are independently arranged in the box body 110, more accurate temperature control can be performed for each area. The refrigerating chamber 1114 maintains a lower temperature to keep the food fresh, the variable temperature chamber 1111 can adjust the temperature as needed to adapt to the storage requirements of different food, and the freezing chamber 1112 maintains a lower temperature to freeze the food. This partition design makes the temperature control of each area more independent and accurate, meeting the storage requirements of different food. Through reasonable partition design, the storage device 100 can use energy more efficiently during operation. The temperature control of different areas can be carried out independently to avoid energy waste. At the same time, due to the optimization of space and clear partitions, the loss and cross-influence of cold air are reduced, and the overall energy efficiency ratio is improved. For users, this design makes it more convenient to store and retrieve food or items. The locations of different areas are clear, and users can quickly find the items they need, which improves the efficiency of use.
[0066] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 8In one embodiment, a refrigeration chamber 1115 is further formed in the box body 110, and an evaporator is installed in the refrigeration chamber 1115. The storage device 100 also includes an air duct assembly 140 and a fan assembly 150. The air duct assembly 140 is installed on the box body 110. The air duct assembly 140 is formed with a refrigeration air outlet 141, a variable temperature air outlet 142, a freezing air outlet, a refrigeration return air duct, a variable temperature return air duct and a freezing return air duct. The refrigeration air outlet 1411 of the refrigeration air outlet 141 and the refrigeration return air outlet 1441 of the refrigeration return air duct are both connected to the refrigeration chamber 1114, and the variable temperature air outlet 142 of the variable temperature air outlet 142 is connected to the refrigeration chamber 1114. 1 and the variable temperature return air port 1451 of the variable temperature return air duct are both connected to the variable temperature chamber 1111, the freezing air outlet 1431 of the freezing air outlet and the freezing return air port 1461 of the freezing return air duct are both connected to the freezing chamber 1112, the refrigeration air outlet 1442 of the refrigeration return air duct, the variable temperature air outlet of the variable temperature return air duct and the freezing air outlet 1462 of the freezing return air duct are connected to the refrigeration chamber 1115, so that through the refrigeration air outlet 141, the variable temperature air outlet 142, the freezing air outlet and its corresponding return air duct, the refrigeration chamber 1114, the variable temperature chamber 1111 and the freezing chamber 1112 can form their own independent temperature zones. This design ensures that different ingredients or items can be stored in the most suitable temperature environment, meeting diverse storage needs. The evaporator works in the refrigeration chamber 1115. Through the promotion of the fan assembly 150, the cold air can quickly and evenly enter the cold storage chamber 1114, the temperature-changing chamber 1111 and the freezing chamber 1112 through each air outlet. At the same time, the return air duct discharges the heated air back to the refrigeration chamber 1115, forming an effective air circulation and improving the refrigeration efficiency. Due to the high efficiency of the air circulation, the refrigeration system can reach the set temperature in a shorter time, thereby reducing the running time and reducing energy consumption. In addition, the independent temperature zone also avoids unnecessary energy waste, which helps to achieve energy conservation and environmental protection. The independent air outlet and return air duct design effectively prevents the mixing of air between different temperature zones, thereby reducing the risk of food drying and odor contamination. Each area can maintain a relatively stable temperature and humidity, which is conducive to the preservation of food. Since each air duct assembly 140 is relatively independent, once a problem occurs, maintenance and repair can be carried out on a specific area without disassembling the entire system. This reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance and increases the service life of the equipment.
[0067] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8The fan assembly 150 has an air inlet 151 and a plurality of air outlets 152. The air inlet 151 is connected to the refrigeration chamber 1115. The plurality of air outlets 152 are respectively connected to the refrigeration air inlet of the refrigeration air outlet 141, the variable temperature air inlet 1422 of the variable temperature air outlet 142, and the freezing air inlet of the freezing air outlet. In this way, the fan assembly 150 inhales cold air from the refrigeration chamber 1115 through the air inlet 151, and then delivers the cold air to the air inlets of the refrigeration, variable temperature, and freezing areas through the plurality of air outlets 152. This design ensures efficient circulation of air in the entire storage device 100, thereby achieving rapid cooling and temperature maintenance in each area. Since the air inlet of each area is connected to a separate air outlet 152 of the fan assembly 150, the temperature of each area can be controlled more accurately. By adjusting the operating state or wind speed of the fan assembly 150, the temperature of different areas can be independently adjusted to meet the storage needs of various ingredients or items. Efficient air circulation and precise temperature control help reduce energy waste. The fan assembly 150 can adjust the wind speed and operating time according to actual needs to avoid unnecessary energy consumption, thereby improving the energy efficiency of the entire storage device 100. Through independent air outlets and air inlets, the air in different temperature areas can be prevented from mixing with each other, thereby reducing the risk of food drying and odor contamination. Each area can maintain a relatively independent and stable air environment to ensure the freshness and taste of the food.
[0068] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the freezing air outlet 1431 is disposed adjacent to the top of the freezing chamber 1112. Since the freezing air outlet 1431 usually discharges cold air at a relatively low temperature, the cold air will naturally sink due to its high density. Therefore, placing the freezing air outlet 1431 adjacent to the top of the freezing chamber 1112 can allow the cold air to flow from a high place to a low place, better cover the entire freezing chamber 1112 space, reduce temperature dead corners, and ensure that the freezing chamber 1112 is evenly cooled. As the cold air sinks, it will exchange heat with the hot air in the freezing chamber 1112, thereby reducing the indoor temperature more quickly. This design helps to shorten the freezing time and improve the freezing effect. Placing the freezing air outlet 1431 adjacent to the top of the freezing chamber 1112 can save the bottom space to the maximum extent, making the storage space of the freezing chamber 1112 more sufficient.
[0069] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the refrigerated return air port 1461 is located below the refrigerated air outlet 1431, so that the short-circuit circulation of cold air can be reduced. If the refrigerated return air port 1461 is too close to the refrigerated air outlet 1431 or is at the same horizontal position, the cold air that has just flowed out of the refrigerated air outlet 1431 may be directly sucked into the refrigerated return air port 1461, forming a short-circuit circulation and reducing the refrigeration effect. Placing the refrigerated return air port 1461 at the bottom can effectively avoid this situation. Since the cold air will mix with the hot air when flowing in the freezing chamber 1112, the position of the refrigerated return air port 1461 has an important influence on the temperature distribution. Setting the refrigerated return air port 1461 at the bottom can better cool the air in the upper part of the freezing chamber 1112, thereby reducing the temperature gradient and improving the overall temperature uniformity.
[0070] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the freezing air outlet 1431 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of freezing air outlets 1431 include a first freezing air outlet 14311 and a second freezing air outlet 14312. The first freezing air outlet 14311 is connected to the air inlet provided on the first side of the ice maker 121, and the second freezing air outlet 14312 is provided toward the second side of the ice maker 121. Thus, by providing a plurality of air outlets, the cold air can be distributed more evenly in the freezing chamber 1112, the temperature dead corner can be reduced, and the overall refrigeration effect can be improved. The first freezing air outlet 14311 is connected to the air inlet on the first side of the ice maker 121, so that the ice maker 121 can obtain the required cold air in time when working, and maintain its efficient operation state. The second freezing air outlet 14312 is provided toward the second side of the ice maker 121, which can also help reduce the temperature around the ice maker 121 and reduce its influence on the overall temperature in the freezing chamber 1112.
[0071] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6In one embodiment, the plurality of freezing air outlets 1431 further include a third freezing air outlet 14313. A first drawer 11121 is movably installed in the freezing chamber 1112. The first drawer 11121 is formed with an ice storage tank and a freezing storage tank with both openings facing upward. The ice storage tank is arranged corresponding to the ice maker 121 to store ice cubes made by the ice maker 121. The third freezing air outlet 14313 is arranged toward the freezing storage tank, so that the cold air in the area is more sufficient, and the food stored in the storage tank can be quickly and effectively cooled. This helps to maintain the freshness and taste of the food and extend its shelf life. Since the ice storage tank is arranged corresponding to the ice maker 121, this layout ensures that the ice cubes made by the ice maker 121 can be directly and efficiently stored in the ice storage tank. At the same time, the presence of the third freezing air outlet 14313 can further ensure the temperature in the ice storage tank is stable, prevent the ice cubes from melting or deforming, and thus maintain the quality and shape of the ice cubes. The openings of the ice storage tank and the frozen storage tank in the first drawer 11121 are both arranged upward, which is convenient for users to take and put items, and also improves the utilization rate of space. The third freezing air outlet 14313 is arranged toward the frozen storage tank, which also makes full use of the space structure in the freezing chamber 1112, ensuring that each area can be adequately cooled.
[0072] Reference Figure 1 , reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the freezer compartment 1112 is also movably provided with a second drawer 11122, the second drawer 11122 being located below the first drawer 11121, and the freezing air outlet 1431 further comprises a fourth freezing air outlet 14314, the fourth freezing air outlet 14314 being arranged toward the opening of the second drawer 11122, so that the cold air can flow evenly in the freezer compartment 1112 and cover each storage area. This helps to reduce the temperature difference and ensure that the temperature of each area inside the freezer compartment 1112 can achieve the desired cooling effect. Since the fourth freezing air outlet 14314 is directly toward the opening of the second drawer 11122, the cold air can enter the drawer more effectively and quickly cool the food stored therein. This is particularly important for foods that need to be stored for a long time or need to be quickly frozen, so as to maintain their freshness and taste. By installing multiple drawers and aligning the air outlet with the opening of the drawer, it can be ensured that the cold air can make full use of every inch of space during the flow process and reduce the existence of invalid space.
[0073] Reference Figure 4In one embodiment, a variable temperature air door 1423 is further included, and the variable temperature air door 1423 is installed in the variable temperature air outlet 142. In this way, the variable temperature air door 1423, as a key component for controlling the temperature of the variable temperature room 1111, can adjust the amount of cold air entering the variable temperature room 1111 according to actual needs. By accurately controlling the opening degree and opening time of the variable temperature air door 1423, the temperature in the variable temperature room 1111 can be accurately adjusted to meet the user's needs for different food storage temperatures. By reasonably adjusting the opening state of the variable temperature air door 1423, too much cold air can be prevented from entering the variable temperature room 1111, reducing energy waste. The design of the variable temperature air door 1423 makes the temperature adjustment of the variable temperature room 1111 more convenient and intuitive. The user can adjust the opening degree of the air door through simple operation, thereby realizing rapid adjustment of the temperature in the variable temperature room 1111. This design not only improves the user's operating experience, but also makes the temperature adjustment more flexible and personalized. Since the variable temperature damper 1423 can be disassembled and replaced independently, the variable temperature damper 1423 can be inspected and repaired separately during system maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.
[0074] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment, the storage device 100 further includes a refrigeration damper 1413, which is installed on the refrigeration air outlet 141. In this way, the refrigeration damper 1413, as a key component for adjusting the cold air flow rate of the refrigeration chamber 1114, can be flexibly adjusted according to the temperature requirements in the refrigeration chamber 1114. By accurately controlling the opening degree and opening time of the damper, the amount of cold air entering the refrigeration chamber 1114 can be effectively controlled, thereby maintaining the temperature in the refrigeration chamber 1114 stable and meeting the requirements of food storage. The refrigeration damper 1413 can prevent excessive cold air from entering the refrigeration chamber 1114, reducing energy waste. When the temperature in the refrigeration chamber 1114 reaches the set value, the refrigeration damper 1413 can automatically reduce the opening degree or close to prevent cold air from continuing to enter, thereby maintaining the efficient operation of the refrigeration system. The user can quickly adjust the temperature in the refrigeration chamber 1114 by adjusting the opening degree of the refrigeration damper 1413 to meet the storage requirements of different foods. This design provides a more personalized temperature adjustment method and improves the user experience. As an independent component, the refrigeration damper 1413 can be disassembled, cleaned and repaired separately. When the refrigeration system fails or needs maintenance, the refrigeration damper 1413 can be inspected and maintained separately, which reduces the maintenance cost and difficulty.
[0075] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, a plurality of refrigerated air outlets 1411 are provided, and the plurality of refrigerated air outlets 1411 are spaced apart from each other. Thus, the spaced apart arrangement of the plurality of refrigerated air outlets 1411 can achieve uniform distribution of cold air in the refrigerating chamber 1114. Each air outlet can release cold air. By spaced apart arrangement, the cold air can more widely cover every corner of the refrigerating chamber 1114, reduce temperature dead corners, and ensure that the food is evenly cooled in the refrigerating chamber 1114. Since the cold air is released through the plurality of air outlets at the same time, a plurality of cold air flow paths can be formed, accelerating the air circulation in the refrigerating chamber 1114. This helps to quickly reduce the temperature of the refrigerating chamber 1114, so that the food reaches the ideal storage temperature more quickly.
[0076] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment, the refrigerating chamber 1114 has a first side wall surface 11141 and a second side wall surface 11142 which are arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction. The plurality of refrigerating air outlets 1411 include at least one first refrigerating air outlet 14111 and at least one second refrigerating air outlet 14112. The at least one first refrigerating air outlet 14111 is arranged adjacent to the first side wall surface 11141, and the at least one second refrigerating air outlet 14112 is arranged adjacent to the second side wall surface 11142. Thus, by arranging the first refrigerating air outlet 14111 at a position adjacent to the first side wall surface 11141 and the second refrigerating air outlet 14112 at a position adjacent to the second side wall surface 11142, it is ensured that cold air enters from both sides of the refrigerating chamber 1114 at the same time, forming air convection on the left and right sides. This helps to reduce the temperature difference in the refrigerating chamber 1114, so that the food is evenly cooled in the refrigerating chamber 1114, and the refrigerating effect is improved. Since cold air enters from both sides of the refrigerator compartment 1114 at the same time, multiple cold air flow paths can be formed to accelerate the air circulation in the refrigerator compartment 1114. This helps to quickly reduce the temperature of the refrigerator compartment 1114, allowing the food to reach the ideal storage temperature faster while keeping the temperature in the refrigerator compartment 1114 stable.
[0077] Reference Figure 3In one embodiment, each of the first refrigeration air outlets 14111 is arranged toward the first side wall surface 11141. In this way, when the first refrigeration air outlet 14111 is arranged toward the first side wall surface 11141, the cold air can be directly blown toward the first side wall surface 11141, and then flow along the first side wall surface 11141 to form an effective convection cycle. This flow pattern can distribute the cold air more evenly to every corner of the refrigeration chamber 1114, reduce temperature dead corners, and ensure that the food can be evenly cooled. The cold air blows directly toward the side wall surface, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the side wall surface, and further cool the air in the refrigeration chamber 1114 through the conduction effect of the first side wall surface 11141. This helps to speed up the temperature drop rate in the refrigeration chamber 1114, so that the food reaches the ideal storage temperature faster. The first refrigeration air outlet 14111 is arranged toward the first side wall surface 11141, which can prevent the air outlet from blowing directly toward the food, and reduce the drying and water loss of the food surface. At the same time, this layout is more concise and beautiful, which improves the overall visual effect of the cold storage room 1114.
[0078] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment, each of the second refrigeration air outlets 14112 is arranged toward the second side wall surface 11142. In this way, when the second refrigeration air outlet 14112 is arranged toward the second side wall surface 11142, the cold air can be blown directly toward the side wall surface, and then flow along the side wall surface to form an effective convection cycle. This flow pattern can distribute the cold air more evenly to every corner of the refrigeration chamber 1114, reduce temperature dead corners, and ensure that the food can be cooled evenly. The cold air blows directly toward the side wall surface, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the side wall surface, and further cool the air in the refrigeration chamber 1114 through the conduction effect of the side wall surface. This helps to speed up the temperature drop rate in the refrigeration chamber 1114, so that the food reaches the ideal storage temperature faster. The second refrigeration air outlet 14112 is arranged toward the second side wall surface 11142, which can prevent the air outlet from blowing directly toward the food, reducing the drying and water loss on the surface of the food. At the same time, this layout is also more concise and beautiful, which improves the overall visual effect of the refrigeration chamber 1114.
[0079] In one embodiment, the refrigerating chamber 1114 further has a third side wall surface 11143 between the first side wall surface 11141 and the second side wall surface 11142, and the third side wall surface 11143 is provided with the refrigerating return air port 1441, and the refrigerating return air port 1441 is located below the first refrigerating air outlet 14111 and the second refrigerating air outlet 14112, so that, firstly, this design helps to form an effective air circulation loop. The refrigerating return air port 1441 is located below the first refrigerating air outlet 14111 and the second refrigerating air outlet 14112, which can ensure that the cold air can smoothly flow back from the return air port to the refrigerating chamber 1115 after being blown to the food, forming a complete air circulation loop.
[0080] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9 In one embodiment, the fan assembly 150 is arranged on one side of the housing 110 and is offset with the water storage chamber 1113 in the left-right direction. In this way, this design can make full use of the space in the housing 110 and avoid the fan assembly 150 and the water storage chamber 1113 from interfering with each other in the horizontal direction or occupying each other's space. Through the offset setting, the spatial layout in the housing 110 is more compact and efficient, and the overall space utilization is improved. The fan assembly 150 will generate certain noise and vibration when working. By offsetting it with the water storage chamber 1113, the direct connection between the two can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the impact of noise and vibration on the water storage chamber 1113 and its internal items. This helps to improve the user experience, especially in an environment sensitive to noise. The offset setting allows the fan assembly 150 and the water storage chamber 1113 to be independently repaired or maintained. Maintenance personnel can more conveniently approach the fan assembly 150 to perform necessary cleaning, maintenance or replacement operations without worrying about interference with the water storage chamber 1113. This reduces the complexity and cost of maintenance and improves the reliability and service life of the equipment. The fan assembly 150 generates a certain amount of heat when working, and the water storage chamber 1113 usually needs to maintain a lower temperature to ensure the storage quality of water. The staggered setting helps to reduce the possibility of the heat generated by the fan assembly 150 being directly transferred to the water storage chamber 1113, thereby maintaining the stability of the temperature in the water storage chamber 1113.
