Summary of the Utility Model

[0034] In addition, in the present utility model, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In addition, the technical solutions between various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the protection scope required by the present utility model.

[0035] Household appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners all need to be provided with a refrigeration system for refrigeration. The refrigerator needs to refrigerate to store items at a low temperature to prevent them from spoiling, and the air conditioner needs to refrigerate to bring a good effect of preventing heatstroke and cooling for users. Since the volumes and external dimensions of different models of electrical appliances are different, in the related art, for different models of electrical appliances, a refrigeration system matching them needs to be designed accordingly, that is, the electrical appliance and the refrigeration system need to be designed together, resulting in a relatively high mold cost in the design stage of the electrical appliance and a relatively low production efficiency.

[0036] In order to solve the problems existing in the related art to a certain extent, a refrigeration module and an electrical appliance device provided by an embodiment of the present application can enable the refrigeration module and the electrical appliance device to be separately designed and processed, thereby improving the versatility of the refrigeration module, saving mold costs, and improving production efficiency.

[0037] The present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 , an embodiment of the present application provides a refrigeration module 500. The refrigeration module 500 provided by the embodiment of the present application has high versatility and can be adapted to different models of electrical appliance devices 1, so that it can be separately designed and processed from the electrical appliance device 1, saving mold costs and improving production efficiency.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3, a refrigeration module 500 provided by an embodiment of the present application is applied to an electrical appliance 1 and includes a housing 400, a first refrigeration component 200, and a second refrigeration component 300. The first refrigeration component 200 is disposed within the housing 400. The second refrigeration component 300 includes a storage box 310 and a heat exchange tube 330. The storage box 310 and the heat exchange tube 330 are connected to form a circulation loop. The first refrigeration component 200 is used to refrigerate the heat exchange medium in the storage box 310, and the heat exchange tube 330 is used to exchange heat with the accommodation cavity 110 of the electrical appliance 1.

[0040] The housing 400 is a basic component of the refrigeration module 500 of the present application. The housing 400 can provide an installation basis for at least some other components of the refrigeration module 500, and can also serve the purpose of protecting at least some other components of the refrigeration module 500, and can improve the integration degree of the refrigeration module 500, making it convenient to assemble the refrigeration module 500 with the electrical appliance 1.

[0041] The first refrigeration component 200 can refrigerate. Since the first refrigeration component 200 is used to refrigerate the heat exchange medium in the storage box 310, and the storage box 310 and the heat exchange tube 330 are connected to form a circulation loop, the refrigerated heat exchange medium will flow into the heat exchange tube 330, making the heat exchange tube 330 have a refrigeration function. And the heat exchange medium after heat exchange will flow back to the storage box 310, continue to be refrigerated by the first refrigeration component 200, and then enter the heat exchange tube 330 again, realizing circular flow, so that the heat exchange tube 330 can continuously refrigerate.

[0042] That is, the refrigeration module 500 provided by the embodiment of the present application is an independent module, which can operate independently to achieve the refrigeration function. Since the refrigeration module 500 is applied to the electrical appliance 1, in other words, the embodiment of the present application integrates each refrigeration element for refrigerating the electrical appliance into an independent module, that is, the refrigeration module 500. The refrigeration module 500 can be separately arranged from the electrical appliance 1. Therefore, for any model of electrical appliance 1, as long as it is assembled with the refrigeration module 500, the refrigeration of the accommodation cavity 110 can be achieved. That is, one refrigeration module 500 can be matched with multiple models of electrical appliances 1, thereby improving the versatility of the refrigeration module 500, saving the mold cost in the production and development stage, and the refrigeration module 500 and the electrical appliance 1 can be designed and processed separately and then assembled together, without being processed simultaneously, thus improving the production efficiency.

[0043] Specifically, since the heat exchange tube 330 can be used to exchange heat with the accommodation cavity 110 of the electrical appliance 1, for any model of electrical appliance 1, after the refrigeration module 500 is assembled onto the electrical appliance 1, as long as the heat exchange tube 330 in the refrigeration module 500 is arranged in the electrical appliance 1, the heat exchange tube 330 can exchange heat with the accommodation cavity 110 of the electrical appliance 1 to achieve the refrigeration function.

[0044] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , since the heat exchange tube 330 in the refrigeration module 500 needs to be arranged in the electrical device 1 to exchange heat with the accommodation cavity 110 of the electrical device 1, both the refrigeration module 500 and the electrical device 1 need to reserve an interface 120 for passing the heat exchange tube 330, and it is necessary to ensure that the shape and size of the interface 120 between the electrical device 1 and the heat exchange tube 330 remain unchanged. That is, as long as the shape and size of the interface 120 between the electrical device 1 and the heat exchange tube 330 remain unchanged, the volume and shape of the accommodation cavity 110 of the electrical device 1 can be arbitrarily changed within the design range, and can be adapted to the refrigeration module 500 provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first refrigeration component 200 includes a compressor 210, a first heat exchanger 220, a second heat exchanger 230, and a throttling member 240. The compressor 210, the first heat exchanger 220, the throttling member 240, and the second heat exchanger 230 are connected in sequence to form a circulation loop, and the second heat exchanger 230 is arranged in the storage box 310.

[0046] The refrigeration principle of the first refrigeration component 200 is as follows: after the compressor 210 operates, the refrigerant inside is compressed into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated steam, and then discharged from the exhaust port of the compressor 210 and enters the first heat exchanger 220. The first heat exchanger 220 dissipates the heat of the refrigerant to the surrounding air, so that the refrigerant condenses from high-temperature and high-pressure superheated steam into normal-temperature and high-pressure liquid, and then enters the throttling member 240 after passing through the drying filter. The refrigerant enters the throttling member 240 and is throttled and depressurized to become low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid, and then enters the second heat exchanger 230. In the second heat exchanger 230, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid absorbs the heat of the heat exchange medium in the storage box 310 and vaporizes into saturated gas, so as to achieve the purpose of refrigerating the heat exchange medium. Finally, the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas enters the compressor 210 through the suction port of the compressor 210, and the refrigerant performs the next cycle under the drive of the compressor 210.

[0047] Specifically, the throttling member 240 is a capillary tube, that is, the refrigerant is throttled and depressurized by the capillary tube and becomes low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant liquid.

[0048] In some embodiments, the compressor 210 and the first heat exchanger 220 are arranged side by side in the first direction, and the storage box 310 and the compressor 210 are arranged side by side in the second direction, and the first direction is different from the second direction.

[0049] The first refrigeration assembly 200 includes many components, and each component occupies a certain space. If the arrangement of each component is improper, it will cause the volume of the housing 400 to be too large, making the installation of the refrigeration module 500 and the electrical equipment 1 inconvenient and affecting the aesthetic appearance of the electrical equipment 1. Therefore, compared with the compressor 210, the first heat exchanger 220, and the storage box 310 all being arranged in one direction, arranging the compressor 210 and the first heat exchanger 220 side by side in the first direction and arranging the storage box 310 and the compressor 210 side by side in the second direction, where the first direction and the second direction are different, can make the distribution of the compressor 210, the first heat exchanger 220, and the storage box 310 closer, thus occupying less space, making the volume of the housing 400 smaller, making the installation of the refrigeration module 500 and the electrical equipment 1 more convenient, and making the appearance of the electrical equipment 1 cleaner.

[0050] Specifically, the angle between the first direction and the second direction can be a right angle, an acute angle, etc., and there is no limitation on this.

[0051] In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 500 further includes a radiator 250, and the radiator 250 is arranged between the compressor 210 and the first heat exchanger 220.

[0052] Since the first heat exchanger 220 dissipates the heat of the refrigerant to the surrounding air, causing the refrigerant to condense from a high-temperature and high-pressure superheated vapor into a normal-temperature and high-pressure liquid, arranging the radiator 250 around the first heat exchanger 220 can accelerate the flow of the air around the first heat exchanger 220, making the heat of the refrigerant dissipate faster, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency. Moreover, since the radiator 250 is arranged between the compressor 210 and the first heat exchanger 220, the radiator 250 can also accelerate the flow of the air around the compressor 210 at the same time, thereby dissipating heat from the compressor 210 to improve the overheating condition of the compressor 210 during operation. That is, arranging one radiator 250 can dissipate heat from the first heat exchanger 220 and the compressor 210 at the same time, making the arrangement of each component of the first refrigeration assembly 200 more compact and occupying less space.

[0053] Specifically, the radiator 250 can be a cooling fan, and the blowing of the cooling fan can accelerate the air flow, so that the heat is dissipated faster.

[0054] In some embodiments, the compressor 210 and the storage box 310 are arranged at intervals.

[0055] Since the compressor 210 will lift the low-pressure gas to high pressure during operation, thereby increasing its temperature and energy, during this process, when the refrigerant releases heat, it will make the compressor 210 hot, and the evaporator will cool the heat exchange medium in the storage box 310. Therefore, in order to reduce the heat transferred from the compressor 210 to the storage box 310 to ensure the cooling effect of the heat exchange medium, there should be a gap between the storage box 310 and the compressor 210. The storage box 310 and the compressor 210 can be spaced apart vertically or horizontally, and there is no limitation on this.

[0056] In some embodiments, the storage box 310 is disposed within the housing 400.

[0057] In order to enable the evaporator to achieve a better cooling effect on the heat exchange medium, the second heat exchanger 230, i.e., the evaporator, can be directly immersed in the heat exchange medium of the storage box 310. In this way, the heat exchange area between the evaporator and the heat exchange medium is large, and the temperature transfer is relatively uniform, so that the heat exchange efficiency between the evaporator and the heat exchange medium is high. Therefore, in the first refrigeration assembly 200, the compressor 210 can operate at a low frequency to cool the heat exchange medium, thereby making the noise generated during the operation of the compressor 210 small. And because the heat generation is low, the rotational speed of the condenser fan can also be set at a low speed to reduce the noise generated during the operation of the condenser, further achieving the purpose of low noise. Since the second heat exchanger 230 needs to be disposed in the housing 400 and connected to other components of the first refrigeration assembly 200 for refrigeration, the storage box 310 also needs to be disposed within the housing 400.

[0058] In some embodiments, the heat exchange medium can be water. The specific heat capacity of water is relatively large, that is, the amount of heat absorbed or released when changing the unit temperature is large. Therefore, after the first refrigeration assembly 200 cools the water, under the same heat dissipation, the temperature of the water drops less, thereby further reducing the temperature difference with the accommodation cavity 110. Furthermore, during the heat exchange process, the temperature range fluctuation within the accommodation cavity 110 can be reduced, and the temperature uniformity within the accommodation cavity 110 can be improved.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , a connecting pipe 320 is provided on the storage box 310, and the connecting pipe 320 is detachably connected to the heat exchange pipe 330.

[0060] Of course, a circulation loop is also formed among the storage box 310, the connecting pipe 320, and the heat exchange pipe 330. That is, after the heat exchange medium is cooled by the first refrigeration component 200 in the storage box 310, it enters the heat exchange pipe 330 through the connecting pipe 320 to exchange heat with the accommodation cavity 110. The heat exchange medium that has absorbed heat then returns to the storage box 310 through the connecting pipe 320. The connecting pipe 320 can be made of materials with poor thermal conductivity such as plastic rubber to reduce the loss of cold energy when the heat exchange medium flows in the connecting pipe 320, while the heat exchange pipe 330 can be made of materials with good thermal conductivity such as carbon steel and low alloy steel to improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0061] To facilitate the maintenance or replacement of the heat exchange pipe 330, the connecting pipe 320 is detachably connected to the heat exchange pipe 330. Therefore, when the heat exchange pipe 330 needs to be maintained or replaced, the connecting pipe 320 is separated from the heat exchange pipe 330, and then the heat exchange pipe 330 can be removed from the electrical device 1. After the heat exchange pipe 330 is repaired or replaced, the connecting pipe 320 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 330.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the refrigeration module 500 further includes a circulation pump 340, and the circulation pump 340 is arranged in the circulation loop.

[0063] The circulation pump 340 can provide power to drive the heat exchange medium to circulate in the circulation loop. Of course, since the heat exchange pipe 330 is arranged in the electrical device 1, in order to prevent the circulation pump 340 from occupying the space of the electrical device 1 and to facilitate the assembly between the refrigeration module 500 and the electrical device 1, the circulation pump 340 is arranged on the connecting pipe 320.

[0064] In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 500 further includes a cover plate 113, and the heat exchange pipe 330 is installed on the cover plate 113.

[0065] The cover plate 113 is an installation component for the heat exchange pipe 130. The cover plate 113 is arranged in the electrical device 1, and the heat exchange pipe 330 is installed on the cover plate 113, so that the heat exchange pipe can be installed in the electrical device 1 to achieve heat exchange with the accommodation cavity 110.

[0066] Specifically, the cover plate 113 covers the side wall 111 of the accommodation cavity 110, and the heat exchange pipe 330 is arranged inside the cover plate 113. An installation space is formed between the cover plate 113 and the side wall 111, and the heat exchange pipe 330 is arranged in this installation space. The heat exchange pipe 330 can be arranged on the cover plate 113 or on the side wall 111, and there is no limitation on this. The cover plate 113 isolates the heat exchange pipe 330 from other items in the accommodation cavity 110, thus playing a certain protective role for the heat exchange pipe 330 and extending the service life of the heat exchange pipe 330.

[0067] In some embodiments, an air outlet 114 is provided on the cover plate 113, and a circulation fan 115 is further provided inside the cover plate 113. The circulation fan 115 is correspondingly arranged with the air outlet 114.

[0068] The air outlet 114 is communicated with the accommodation cavity 110, and the circulation fan 115 is correspondingly arranged with the air outlet 114. Therefore, the air blown out by the circulation fan 115 can directly enter the accommodation cavity 110. Thus, during the heat exchange stage, the circulation fan 115 can accelerate the air flow, and further accelerate the heat exchange speed and improve the heat exchange efficiency.

[0069] Specifically, the more the number of the circulation fans 115, the faster the heat exchange speed. Therefore, a plurality of air outlets 114 can be provided on the cover plate 113, and a circulation fan 115 is correspondingly arranged for each air outlet 114, and the plurality of air outlets 114 can be arranged at equal intervals to make the air flow more uniform, thereby improving the temperature uniformity in the accommodation cavity 110.

[0070] Of course, a plurality of air inlets 116 are also provided on the cover plate 113, that is, the cold air in the installation groove 112 enters the accommodation cavity 110 through the air outlet 114 for refrigeration, and then enters the installation groove 112 through the air inlet 116 to realize air circulation, thereby realizing heat exchange.

[0071] Based on the same inventive concept, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , an electrical appliance 1 is further provided in an embodiment of the present application, including a box body 100 and the refrigeration module 500 described above. The heat exchange tube 330 is used for heat exchange with the box body 100, and the accommodation cavity 110 is arranged in the box body 100. The beneficial effects of the electrical appliance 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application are the same as those of the refrigeration module 500 described above, and will not be elaborated here. The electrical appliance 1 can be a refrigerator 1, an air conditioner, a cold drink machine, etc., and there is no limitation thereto.

[0072] In some embodiments, the housing 400 is arranged outside the box body 100.

[0073] Since the accommodation cavity 110 is arranged in the box body 100, the heat exchange tube 330 is also arranged in the box body 100 to realize heat exchange with the accommodation cavity 110. Therefore, in order to reduce the occupied space in the box body 100, the housing 400 is arranged outside the box body 100, that is, the housing 400 can be installed on other components of the electrical appliance 1, thereby reducing the occupied space in the box body 100. Especially when the electrical device is a refrigerator 1, the accommodation cavity 110 needs to store items. The less the occupied space in the box body 100, the larger the space of the accommodation cavity 110 can be, and thus more items can be stored.

[0074] Furthermore, the shell 400 is disposed outside the box body 100 , which also makes it easier to assemble the refrigeration module 500 and the electrical device 1 , that is, the heat exchange tube 330 only needs to be disposed in the box body 100 , and the shell 400 is disposed at other locations.

[0075] In some embodiments, the heat exchange tubes 330 may be large in area and evenly distributed in the box 100, so that during the heat exchange process, the temperature uniformity in the accommodating cavity 110 may be further improved. Specifically, the heat exchange tubes 330 may be arranged in an overall rectangular, triangular, trapezoidal, etc. shape, which is not limited.

[0076] In some embodiments, the housing 400 is disposed on the top or bottom of the box 100 .

[0077] The housing 400 is disposed at the top or bottom of the box 100, which can facilitate the installation of the housing 400 and make the overall appearance of the electrical device 1 more neat and beautiful. Of course, in other embodiments, the first refrigeration assembly 200 can also be disposed on the side of the box 100, which is not limited.

[0078] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine different embodiments or examples described in this specification.
