[0002] A meat cabinet generally refers to a special refrigerated display cabinet used in supermarkets, butchers, or the food retail industry to display and sell refrigerated or frozen foods such as meat, seafood, and cooked food. It has a transparent front glass door for customers to view the internal goods, while maintaining a low temperature inside to ensure food safety and freshness. The design of the meat cabinet focuses on temperature control, humidity adjustment, and good ventilation circulation to extend the shelf life of food and maintain its best taste and nutritional value. Therefore, an air-cooled control device is used.

[0003] In the prior art, in an open space, due to the lack of object obstruction, the cold air flows more smoothly, and the system is more likely to reach the set temperature. If the air-cooled device continues to operate, it may cause some local areas to be overcooled, and the temperature in these areas may be lower than the ideal temperature range required for food preservation. This overcooling not only means a waste of energy because the system consumes more electrical energy to lower the temperature, but also may have a negative impact on the quality of the food stored therein. Therefore, the present application provides an air-cooled temperature uniform control device and a meat cabinet to meet the needs. Summary of the Utility Model

[0021] As shown in the figure, in order to clearly implement the structure of the embodiments of the present invention, specific structures and devices are marked in the figure. However, this is only for schematic purposes and is not intended to limit the present invention to this specific structure, device, and environment. According to specific needs, those of ordinary skill in the art can adjust or modify these devices and environments, and the adjustments or modifications still fall within the scope of the appended claims. Detailed implementation manners

[0022] The following will describe in detail an air-cooled temperature uniform control device and a meat cabinet provided by the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. At the same time, it should be noted here that in order to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments. For some well-known technologies, those skilled in the art can also adopt other alternative ways to implement them; moreover, the accompanying drawings are only for more specifically describing the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0023] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air-cooled temperature uniform control device, including: a lower cabinet 1 and an upper cabinet 10, the upper cabinet 10 is pressed on the lower cabinet 1; a refrigeration fan 7, installed inside the lower cabinet 1; an air outlet part 6, provided on the upper cabinet 10, the air outlet part 6 includes: a wind guide plate 601, and a plurality of micropores 602 are formed on the wind guide plate 601, and the micropores 602 are evenly distributed on the wind guide plate 601; a plurality of ventilation pipes 8, one end is connected to the refrigeration fan 7, and the other end is installed on one side inside the upper cabinet 10 and is connected to the inside of the wind guide plate 601.

[0024] The refrigeration fan 7 is responsible for sending cold air into the cabinet, and through the ventilation pipes 8, the wind guide plate 601, and the micropores 602, the temperature inside the meat cabinet is controlled. The refrigeration fan 7 blows the cold air into the wind guide plate 601 through the ventilation pipes 8, and then blows air into the inside of the upper cabinet 10 through the micropores 602. The running speed of the refrigeration fan 7 is adjustable to adapt to different cooling requirements.

[0025] The micropores 602 are channels for the cold air to flow out. These micropores 602 are evenly distributed on the wind guide plate 601, which can ensure that the air flows out more evenly, reduce the direct blowing on the food, thereby reducing the risk of food drying, and achieving a more uniform and gentle cooling effect, effectively avoiding the problem of excessive water loss and drying on the surface of food existing in the traditional air-cooled system. At the same time, it also helps to improve the energy use efficiency because the uniform cooling reduces unnecessary energy consumption.

[0026] The air outlet part 6 further includes: an adjustable air deflector 603, rotatably installed on the micropores 602. By adjusting the air deflector, the blowing direction can be adjusted.

[0027] The adjustable air deflector 603 is used to change the direction of the air flowing out through the micropores 602. The adjustable air deflector 603 is provided with a diversion groove, allowing the user to adjust the air flow direction according to actual needs. When there are more items on the right side, the adjustable air deflector 603 can be pushed to the right to better distribute the cooling effect. By using the adjustable air deflector 603, the direct blowing of air on the food can also be reduced, thereby reducing the possible drying phenomenon on the food surface. Appropriately adjusting the adjustable air deflector 603 can help the cold air cover each area in the cabinet more effectively, improve the cooling efficiency, and at the same time avoid the energy waste caused by the direct outflow of cold air from the meat cabinet.

[0028] The uniform distribution of the micropores 602 on the air deflector 601 ensures that the cold air output from the air outlet part 6 can be evenly dispersed into the meat cabinet, providing a uniform cooling environment for the food. Combined with the adjustable air deflector 603, the micropores 602 can adapt to different storage requirements by adjusting the intensity and direction of the air flow, thereby achieving more precise temperature control. This not only improves the uniformity and efficiency of the cooling effect, but also helps to protect the food quality and reduce energy consumption.

[0029] A plurality of control valves 9 are respectively arranged on a plurality of ventilation pipes 8; a plurality of placing members 5 are detachably installed on the upper cabinet body 10, and the placing members 5 are used for placing items.

[0030] The plurality of control valves 9 allow the user to adjust the air volume passing through each ventilation pipe 8. Each ventilation pipe 8 is provided with a control valve 9. When it is necessary to reduce the air output volume, the air output volume can be adjusted through the control valve 9, or some ventilation pipes 8 can be closed through the control valve 9. This helps to achieve more precise temperature control. By precisely controlling the air volume sent to different areas in the cabinet, energy waste can be reduced. Especially when the required temperature has been reached, the air supply volume can be reduced to save energy. The control valve 9 can change the path and intensity of the air flow, helping to optimize the air flow pattern in the entire meat cabinet, reducing dead corners, and improving the cooling efficiency. Different types of foods may have different optimal storage temperatures and humidities. The use of the control valve 9 enables the system to adjust the air supply according to the specific food type stored, meeting different storage requirements.

[0031] The placement member 5 is a placement board for placing items. The placement member 5 provides flexible storage options. Users can adjust the position of the placement member 5 according to the size, shape and storage requirements of the food to make the most effective use of the storage space. The detachable placement member 5 is convenient to remove for cleaning and maintenance, which is very important for maintaining food safety and hygiene. The cleaning process is simple and fast, which helps to prevent cross-contamination. And the reasonably configured placement member 5 helps to optimize the air flow inside the cabinet, ensuring that the cold air can contact each piece of food more evenly, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and food preservation effect.

[0032] The air inlet 2 is opened on the lower cabinet 1; the filter member 4 is detachably installed on the air inlet 2.

[0033] The air inlet 2 is the channel for the outside air to enter the inside of the meat cabinet. It allows the outside air to enter the cabinet and mix with the internal circulating air to maintain the freshness and oxygen content of the air inside the cabinet. The air inlet 2 helps to balance the air pressure difference inside and outside the meat cabinet, ensuring smooth air flow inside the meat cabinet and avoiding energy efficiency reduction or structural damage caused by the air pressure difference.

[0034] The main function of the filter member 4 is to filter dust, microorganisms and other potential pollutants in the air entering the meat cabinet. This helps to keep the food inside the cabinet clean and safe. The filter member 4 also helps to prevent dust and debris from entering internal mechanical components such as the refrigeration fan 7 and the ventilation pipe 8, reducing wear and damage, and thus extending the service life of the entire system. Since the filter member 4 is detachable, it is convenient to replace or clean regularly to ensure the filtering efficiency and avoid the decline in air quality or system performance caused by blockage.

[0035] The inner wall of the ventilation pipe 8 is made of a reflective material; the controller 3 is installed on the lower cabinet 1.

[0036] The inner wall of the ventilation pipe 8 made of the reflective material can effectively reduce heat loss. This material can reflect heat energy, minimizing the heat loss of the cold air during transportation, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the system. The reflective material also helps to prevent the condensation phenomenon on the inner wall of the ventilation pipe 8 caused by the temperature difference. This can reduce the impact of moisture on the food and avoid the humidity problem in the cabinet interior caused by condensed water dripping. And the reflective material usually has a smooth surface and is not easy to adhere to dust and microorganisms, which helps to keep the air inside the ventilation pipe 8 clean, and thus ensures the air quality sent into the cabinet.

[0037] The controller 3 is a core component in the air-cooled temperature uniformity control device. It is responsible for monitoring and regulating the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet to maintain the freshness and quality of food. The controller 3 can automatically adjust the rotation speed of the refrigeration fan 7, the opening and closing of the control valve 9, and the startup of the humidifier according to the preset parameters, ensuring that the environment inside the cabinet is stable within the set temperature and humidity range. The controller 3 can monitor the temperature and humidity data inside the cabinet in real time and adjust the operating state of the system according to the monitoring results, such as adjusting the ventilation volume, starting and stopping the humidifier, etc., to meet the storage needs of the food inside the cabinet. By accurately controlling the temperature and humidity inside the cabinet, it helps to reduce unnecessary energy consumption, such as preventing overcooling or overhumidification, thus saving energy and reducing operating costs.

[0038] A plurality of temperature sensors are arranged on the upper cabinet body 10, and the plurality of temperature sensors are evenly distributed on the upper cabinet body 10. The temperature sensors are used to detect the temperature inside the cabinet.

[0039] A plurality of temperature sensors are all installed inside the upper cabinet body 10. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the temperature sensors. The temperature sensors can provide the temperature data of different positions inside the cabinet to the controller 3, thus more accurately reflecting the temperature condition of the entire storage space. This helps to discover and solve possible temperature non-uniformity problems. Through the evenly distributed temperature sensors, the controller 3 can receive more comprehensive temperature and humidity information, and thus implement more precise control strategies, such as adjusting the rotation speed of the refrigeration fan 7, controlling the refrigeration intensity, or adjusting the air volume of the ventilation pipe 8, to achieve uniform temperature distribution inside the cabinet. Accurate and uniform temperature monitoring allows the system to respond more effectively to temperature changes inside the cabinet, quickly adjust the cooling output, and avoid overcooling or insufficient cooling, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the system.

[0040] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a meat cabinet, including the air-cooled temperature uniformity control device according to any one of the above.

[0041] The meat cabinet is prior art and will not be described herein.

[0042] In the technical solution provided by the present utility model, when in use, the articles are placed on the placing member 5, the refrigeration fan 7 operates, and the air is blown out through the ventilation pipe 8 and the micropores 602. When there are fewer articles inside the upper cabinet body 10, part of the air outlet of the ventilation pipe 8 can be closed through the control valve 9, and the orientation of the adjustable air guiding member 603 can be adjusted according to the number of articles, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0043] The present utility model covers any alternatives, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made to the essence and scope of the present utility model. For the public to have a thorough understanding of the present utility model, specific details are described in detail in the above preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, those skilled in the art can fully understand the present utility model even without the description of these details.
