Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food preservation equipment, and particularly provides an air flow guiding device for a preservation equipment and a preservation equipment. Background Art
[0002] The current preservation equipment mainly includes refrigerators, freezers, cold cabinets, etc., which mainly preserve the food materials inside by reducing the temperature of the internal preservation compartment.
[0003] However, the property of oxygen in the air is very active and can still cause various spoilage reactions and corruption of food. Oxygen participates in oxidation reactions to damage the nutrients, pigments, flavor substances and other components of food. At the same time, oxygen is also a necessary condition for the growth of aerobic microorganisms. Under aerobic conditions, the spoilage reaction rate caused by the reproduction of microorganisms accelerates, resulting in a shortened storage period of food.
[0004] To overcome the above problems, some preservation equipment is also equipped with a gas conditioning device to consume the oxygen in the preservation compartment through this gas conditioning device, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the preservation compartment. Specifically, the gas conditioning device includes a cathode, an anode and an electrolyte filled between the cathode and the anode. The gas conditioning device contacts the air in the preservation compartment through the cathode, so that oxygen undergoes a reduction reaction at the cathode, that is: O 2 +2H 2 O+4e - →4OH - . And an oxidation reaction occurs at the anode and oxygen is generated, that is: 4OH - →O 2 +2H 2 O+4e - . Thus, the gas conditioning device adjusts the oxygen concentration in the preservation compartment.
[0005] However, the gas conditioning device in the existing preservation equipment can only adjust the oxygen concentration in a single preservation compartment separately. If it is necessary to adjust the oxygen concentration in multiple preservation compartments, a gas conditioning device needs to be configured for each preservation compartment respectively. In this way, not only the cost of the preservation equipment is increased, but also more space in the preservation equipment is occupied, resulting in a lower volume ratio of the preservation equipment.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments of the present utility model. This part of the embodiments is intended to explain the technical principle of the present utility model, rather than to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments provided by the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts should still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] It should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, the terms indicating directions or positional relationships such as "center", "upper", "lower", "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the drawings. This is only for the convenience of description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0037] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can also be the communication inside two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. For example, without special description, the terms "installation", "connection", "coupling", and "fixing" can specifically be any feasible connection forms such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, plugging, riveting, fusing, snap connection, etc.
[0038] In addition, it should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, the terms "cooling capacity" and "heating capacity" are two descriptions of the same physical state. That is, the higher the "cooling capacity" of a certain target object (such as an evaporator, air, condenser, etc.), the lower the "heating capacity", and the lower the "cooling capacity", the higher the "heating capacity". When a certain target object absorbs "cooling capacity", it will release "heating capacity", and when it releases "cooling capacity", it will absorb "heating capacity". A certain target object stores "cooling capacity" or "heating capacity" to keep the current temperature of the target object. "Refrigeration" and "heat absorption" are two descriptions of the same physical phenomenon, that is, a certain target object (such as an evaporator) will absorb heat while refrigerating.
[0039] In the present utility model, the fresh-keeping device can be a refrigerator. This refrigerator is a refrigerator in a broad sense, which not only includes the commonly said refrigerator in a narrow sense, but also includes fresh-keeping devices with refrigeration and / or freezing functions, such as refrigerated cabinets, freezers, etc.

In the present utility model, the number of the first fresh-keeping compartment 101 and the second fresh-keeping compartment 102 can be one, two, three, or any other feasible number.
[0042] It should be noted that in the present utility model, the box body 100 can also define other fresh-keeping compartments to meet the user's more fresh-keeping storage needs for food materials.

[0050] Or, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, make the box body 100 and the gas conditioning device 200 jointly define the above-mentioned gas conditioning space 103, and make the cathode plate 220 or the anode plate 230 exposed on the surface of the housing 210 be a part of this gas conditioning space 103.

[0055] As shown Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in and, the rotary damper 320 is installed in the damper cavity 311. The rotary damper 320 can rotate to a position where it shields the first air inlet passage 3121, the first air outlet passage 3122, and the first ventilation opening 3141, so that one of the second air inlet passage 3131 and the second air outlet passage 3132 is communicated with the second ventilation opening 3142, and the other is communicated with the third ventilation opening 3143.

[0056] As can be seen from Figure 6 and Figure 7 On the bottom wall of the damper cavity 311, there is provided a shaft hole 31102 so that the rotary damper 320 is installed on the shaft hole 31102.
[0057] Continue to refer toFigure 6 and Figure 7 The air flow guiding member 310 further defines a fan cavity 315. A third ventilation opening 3143 is formed between the fan cavity 315 and the damper cavity 311 to communicate the fan cavity 315 with the damper cavity 311. A fourth ventilation opening 3144 leading to the air conditioning device 200 is provided on the peripheral wall of the fan cavity 315.
[0058] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, the fan 340 is installed in the fan cavity 315.
[0059] From Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 it can be seen that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first ventilation opening 3141 and the second ventilation opening 3142 are formed on the bottom wall of the air inlet cavity 3111, the third ventilation opening 3143 is formed on the peripheral wall of the air outlet cavity 3112, and the fourth ventilation opening 3144 is formed on the bottom wall of the fan cavity 315.

[0061] Continuing to refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in some embodiments of the present invention, the partition member 330 divides the damper cavity 311 into an air inlet cavity 3111 and an air outlet cavity 3112. The air inlet cavity 3111 is respectively communicated with the first air inlet passage 3121 and the second air inlet passage 3131, and the air outlet cavity 3112 is respectively communicated with the first air outlet passage 3122 and the second air outlet passage 3132.
[0062] Continuing to refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in some embodiments of the present invention, in the X direction, the first air inlet passage 3121, the first air outlet passage 3122, the second air inlet passage 3131 and the second air outlet passage 3132 are located on one side of the damper cavity 311, and the fan cavity 315 is located on the other side of the damper cavity 311, so that the air flow guiding member 310 is a strip-shaped flat member as a whole. In the Y direction, the first air outlet passage 3122, the second air outlet passage 3132, the first air inlet passage 3121 and the second air inlet passage 3131 are sequentially distributed, so that the ends of the first air inlet passage 3121 and the first air outlet passage 312 away from the damper cavity 311 are as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 andFigure 7 As shown in [reference], it is located on one side of the air flow guiding member 310; one end of each of the second air inlet passage 3131 and the second air outlet passage 3132 is away from the damper chamber 311 as Figures 2 to 5 shown in [reference], and is located on one side of the air flow guiding member 310.
[0063] Referring back to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the rotary damper 320 includes a turntable 321 and a plurality of shielding structures 322 that are circumferentially spaced apart along the turntable 321.
[0064] Among them, the shielding structure 322 extends in a direction away from the turntable 321 in the axial direction of the turntable 321, and the shielding structure 322 is used to shield the first air inlet passage 3121, the first air outlet passage 3122, the second air inlet passage 3131, and the second air outlet passage 3132.
[0065] Among them, a plurality of avoidance holes 3211 are provided on the turntable 321 and are circumferentially spaced apart along it. The avoidance holes 3211 are used to avoid the first ventilation opening 3141 and the second ventilation opening 3142, so that when one of the first ventilation opening 3141 and the second ventilation opening 3142 is blocked by the turntable 321, the other is aligned with at least one of the plurality of avoidance holes 3211 (as Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown).

Exemplarily, a flat shaft is provided on the rotating shaft 323, and a flat hole is provided on one of the gears of the gear set 352, and this flat shaft is inserted into the flat hole.
[0074] Alternatively, those skilled in the art can also, according to needs, omit the setting of the gear set 352 in the driving device 350 and directly fixedly connect the motor 351 to the rotating shaft 323 on the rotary air damper 320.

Then, a fan 340 is provided inside the controlled atmosphere space 103 or in this air path.
[0077] Furthermore, in other embodiments of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, omit the setting of the driving device 350, and when the air flow guiding device 300 is installed on the preservation device, a separate driving device 350 is configured for the air flow guiding device 300.
[0078] The following refers to Figure 1 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 to elaborate in detail on the working principle of the air flow guiding device 300 in the present utility model.
[0079] As Figure 1 and Figure 8 shown, when the controlled atmosphere device 200 performs controlled atmosphere on the first preservation compartment 101, the rotary damper 320 rotates to a position that shields the second air inlet passage 3131, the second air outlet passage 3132, and the second ventilation opening 3142, so that the first air inlet passage 3121 is communicated with the first ventilation opening 3141, and the first air outlet passage 3122 is communicated with the third ventilation opening 3143. At this time, the air flow path inside the air flow guiding device 300 is as shown by the dotted line in Figure 8 . Driven by the fan 340, the air circulates along the following path: the first preservation compartment 101 → the first air inlet passage 3121 → the air inlet chamber 3111 → the avoidance hole 3211 → the first ventilation opening 3141 → the controlled atmosphere space 103 → the fourth ventilation opening 3144 → the fan chamber 315 → the third ventilation opening 3143 → the first air outlet passage 3122 → the first preservation compartment 101.
[0080] As Figure 1 and Figure 9 shown, when the controlled atmosphere device 200 performs controlled atmosphere on the second preservation compartment 102, the rotary damper 320 rotates to a position that shields the first air inlet passage 3121, the first air outlet passage 3122, and the first ventilation opening 3141, so that the second air inlet passage 3131 is communicated with the second ventilation opening 3142, and the second air outlet passage 3132 is communicated with the third ventilation opening 3143. At this time, the air flow path inside the air flow guiding device 300 is as shown in Figure 9As shown by the dashed line. Driven by the fan 340, air circulates along the following path: the second fresh-keeping compartment 102 → the second air inlet channel 3131 → the air inlet cavity 3111 → the avoidance hole 3211 → the second air vent 3142 → the controlled atmosphere space 103 → the fourth air vent 3144 → the fan cavity 315 → the third air vent 3143 → the second air outlet channel 3132 → the second fresh-keeping compartment 102.
[0081] When air circulates along the above two paths, the concentration of oxygen in the controlled atmosphere space 103 is reduced or increased by the controlled atmosphere device 200, thereby reducing or increasing the concentration of oxygen in the air within the entire path. After the air circulates for a period of time, the oxygen concentration in the first fresh-keeping compartment 101 or the second fresh-keeping compartment 102 will correspondingly decrease or increase.
[0082] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can understand that the fresh-keeping equipment of the present utility model having the above airflow guiding device 300 can selectively adjust the oxygen content in the first fresh-keeping compartment 101 or the second fresh-keeping compartment 102, realizing the function of the controlled atmosphere device 200 to simultaneously adjust the oxygen content in multiple fresh-keeping compartments.
[0083] Furthermore, the airflow guiding member 310, as an integral member, defines the damper cavity 311, the first air inlet channel 3121, the first air outlet channel 3122, the second air inlet channel 3131, the second air outlet channel 3132, and the fan cavity 315, and can be prepared by injection molding or the like. It has a lighter structure, a more compact structure, and a lower cost.
