However, while this design improves space utilization to a certain extent, it still leaves room for improvement in terms of the overall layout of the kitchen appliance and user experience. Furthermore, the design does not fully consider the functional layout and heat dissipation issues between the induction cooker, refrigerator, and microwave oven, potentially leading to inconveniences in actual use.

[0004] Furthermore, as the power of household appliances continues to increase, the burden on utility power lines in homes and hotels is also increasing. During peak hours, if multiple high-power appliances are used simultaneously, it can lead to overloaded lines and even safety accidents. Existing integrated kitchen appliances often fail to fully consider this issue during design, lacking effective solutions for the use of high-power appliances.

In this specification, the illustrative use of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0038] While existing integrated kitchen appliances have improved space utilization to a certain extent, they still have many shortcomings. First, the functional layout and heat dissipation design between appliances are irrational, resulting in a poor user experience. Second, as the power of household appliances increases, the safety and stability of integrated kitchen appliances during high-power operation are becoming increasingly prominent, potentially leading to safety hazards such as circuit overloads. Furthermore, existing technologies fail to effectively address the issue of efficient operation of integrated appliances with energy storage modules in power-constrained environments.

[0039] Based on this, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present application discloses an integrated electrical appliance with an energy storage module, comprising:

[0040] The housing assembly 1 has at least two appliances integrated in its interior space, including a refrigerator assembly 2, a microwave oven assembly 3, an induction cooker assembly 5, and an electric kettle heating base 6;

[0041] The energy storage module 10 is electrically connected to the electrical equipment inside the housing assembly 1;

[0042] The energy storage module 10 can store energy when electricity consumption is at its lowest point and / or when electrical appliances inside the housing assembly 1 are in use and the energy storage is insufficient, and provide instantaneous high-power electrical energy output during electricity consumption peaks and / or when electrical appliances inside the housing assembly 1 are in concentrated use.

[0043] The present application discloses an integrated appliance with an energy storage module. By integrating at least two appliances, such as a refrigerator assembly 2, a microwave oven assembly 3, an induction cooker assembly 5, and an electric kettle heating base 6, into a housing assembly 1, space optimization and functional integration of kitchen appliances are achieved. The energy storage module 10 is electrically connected to the appliances inside the housing assembly 1. The energy storage module 10 automatically stores electricity during low-power periods and provides instantaneous high-power output during peak power periods or when the appliances inside the housing assembly 1 are in concentrated use to meet the use needs of high-power appliances. When the appliances inside the housing assembly 1 are in use and the energy storage module 10 has insufficient energy, the energy storage module 10 will also activate the energy storage function to ensure stable operation of the appliances. In the example of the present application, the energy storage module 10 and the appliances installed inside the housing assembly 1 are connected to the mains power through an integrated control board and a power supply circuit. The specific connection structure and control program are not the focus of protection of the present application. Any existing technology can be used for implementation, as long as the energy storage module 10 is charged during low-power periods and multiple appliances inside the housing assembly 1 are in concentrated use, the multiple appliances are powered by the mains power.

[0044] The integrated appliance with an energy storage module disclosed in the present application significantly improves the utilization rate of the space where the kitchen appliances are located by integrating multiple kitchen appliances into a housing assembly 1, making the space where the appliances are located more tidy and orderly. Combined with the introduced energy storage module 10, the integrated appliance with the energy storage module can provide stable high-power power output during peak power consumption periods, meeting the use requirements of high-power appliances and avoiding the problem of appliances not being able to be used normally due to insufficient power. At the same time, the energy storage module 10 stores energy during low power consumption periods, reducing electricity costs and achieving staggered use of electricity. In addition, the design of the energy storage module also enhances the safety and stability of the integrated appliance with the energy storage module when used at high power, effectively preventing the occurrence of safety hazards such as line overload.

[0045] As a preferred example of the present application, the energy storage module 10 is disposed in the space inside the housing assembly 1. By cleverly disposing the energy storage module 10 in the space inside the housing assembly 1, it is closely connected to the appliances integrated therein, such as the refrigerator assembly 2, microwave oven assembly 3, induction cooker assembly 5, and electric kettle heating base 6, thereby reducing line connections and simplifying the circuit connection structure, thereby making the integrated appliance with the energy storage module more compact and beautiful, suitable for various kitchen environments. At the same time, it also prevents the energy storage module 10 from being damaged by external forces during use, thereby extending the service life of the energy storage module 10.

[0046] As a preferred example of the present application, the housing assembly 1 includes a first chamber 11, within which a microwave oven assembly 3 and an induction cooker assembly 5 are disposed, and the energy storage module 10 is disposed in the space where the induction cooker assembly 5 is located. In a preferred example of the present application, the housing assembly 1 is innovatively divided into multiple functional areas, wherein the microwave oven assembly 3 and the induction cooker assembly 5 are integrated within the first chamber 11. Since both the microwave oven assembly 3 and the induction cooker assembly 5 are instantaneous high-energy consuming components, and the overall structure of the microwave oven assembly 3 is generally much larger than that of the induction cooker assembly 5, by cleverly arranging the energy storage module 10 within the space where the induction cooker assembly is located, the transmission of electrical energy between the energy storage module 10 and the induction cooker assembly 5 and the microwave oven assembly 3 is more direct and efficient, reducing electrical energy loss and improving energy utilization efficiency. This provides stable electrical energy support for high-power electrical appliances such as the induction cooker assembly 5 and the microwave oven assembly 3, avoiding the problem of electrical appliance performance degradation or damage caused by power fluctuations. At the same time, the internal space of the housing assembly 1 is fully utilized, achieving compact integration of kitchen appliances and improving the utilization rate and aesthetics of the kitchen space.

[0047] As a preferred example of the present application, the shell assembly 1 also includes a second chamber 12, the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are separated by a mounting plate 9, and the energy storage module 10 is mounted on the mounting plate 9 located below the induction cooker assembly 5. Preferably, the main structure of the refrigerator assembly 2 is integrated in the second chamber 12. In the example of the present application, the overall cavity inside the shell assembly 1 is divided into a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12 arranged in an upper and lower manner by a horizontally arranged mounting plate 9, and the two chambers are physically isolated by the mounting plate 9. The main structures of electrical appliances such as the microwave oven assembly 3 and the induction cooker assembly 5 are integrated in the upper first chamber 11, and the main structure of the refrigerator assembly 2 is integrated in the lower second chamber 12, which ensures the independent operation space of each electrical component and improves the stability of the overall structure. By cleverly installing the energy storage module 10 on the mounting plate 9 located below the induction cooker assembly 5 and arranging it close to the induction cooker assembly 5, this layout enables the energy storage module 10 to provide electrical energy support to the induction cooker assembly 5 more directly and efficiently. When the induction cooker assembly 5 is started, the energy storage module 10 can respond quickly and release the stored electrical energy to meet the high power requirements of the induction cooker assembly 5.

[0048] As a preferred example of the present application, the microwave oven assembly 3 is arranged near the front side of the first cavity 11, and the space on the rear side of the first cavity 11 is divided into a first installation cavity 111 and a second installation cavity 112 by a partition 7. The induction cooker assembly 5 is arranged in one of the installation cavities, and the compressor 21 of the refrigerator assembly 2 is arranged in the other installation cavity. In the example of the present application, the partition 7 is arranged behind the rear plate 311 on the inner tank 31, and the front and rear ends of the partition 7 are detachably fixed to the rear plate 311 and the shell assembly 1 respectively. The partition 7 divides the space behind the microwave oven assembly 3 into two approximately equal installation cavities, which are used to install and fix the electric kettle heating base 6, the compressor 21 and the induction cooker assembly 5, and the energy storage module 10 respectively.

[0049] This arrangement cleverly divides the space behind the microwave oven assembly 3 into a first installation cavity 111 and a second installation cavity 112 by arranging a partition 7 in the space behind the inner tank 31, and then rationally arranges the microwave oven assembly 3, the induction cooker assembly 5 and the compressor 21 of the refrigerator assembly 2 at different positions in the first cavity 11. The partition 7 is fixedly connected between the rear plate 311 of the inner tank 31 and the shell assembly 1, ensuring the stability and detachability of the structure. At the same time, the microwave oven assembly 3 and the induction cooker assembly 5 can also work efficiently in their respective spaces, effectively avoiding thermal interference and electromagnetic interference between them. The entire device achieves a perfect combination of multi-functional integration and efficient heat dissipation through optimized space division and layout design, ensuring the stable operation of each electrical component.

[0050] As a preferred example of the present application, the induction cooker assembly 5 is arranged in the first installation cavity 111, the compressor 21 is arranged in the second installation cavity 112, and the electric kettle heating base 6 is arranged in the second installation cavity 112, and the electric kettle heating base 6 extends out from the top panel 4 at the upper end of the first cavity 11.

[0051] This arrangement integrates the microwave oven assembly 3, the induction cooker assembly 5, and the electric kettle heating base 6 into the housing assembly 1 of the same device through a clever spatial layout. The microwave oven assembly 3 is arranged in the first cavity 11 provided in the housing assembly 1, and the inner pot of the microwave oven assembly 3 is opened forward, so that the user can operate and observe the heating status of the food. The induction cooker assembly 5 and the electric kettle heating base 6 are arranged in the first cavity 11 space on the rear side of the microwave oven assembly 3 to effectively utilize the space and avoid operational interference. The electric kettle heating base 6 extends out of the top panel 4, so that the user can directly place the electric kettle on the top panel 4 for heating, which is easy to operate. The top panel 4 of the integrated electrical appliance with an energy storage module described in this application can be a microcrystalline plate as an aesthetically pleasing external device panel, or other non-metallic material panels that are used as exterior decoration and have supporting properties.

[0052] In the example of the present application, the overall cavity inside the shell assembly 1 is divided into a first chamber 11 and a second chamber 12 in an upper and lower layout by a horizontally arranged mounting plate 9. The first chamber 11 is divided into a front chamber and a rear chamber by the rear plate 311 of the inner tank 31. The front chamber is used to install and fix the structural components of the microwave oven assembly 3. The rear chamber is divided into a first installation cavity 111 and a second installation cavity 112 in a left and right layout by the partition 7. The first installation cavity 111 is used to install and fix the structural components and energy storage module 10 of the induction cooker assembly 5. The second installation cavity 112 is used to install and fix the structural components of the electric kettle heating base 6. A refrigerator assembly 2 is arranged in the second chamber 12 below the first chamber 11. The door 22 of the refrigerator assembly 2 is arranged facing the front, and the compressor 21 of the refrigerator assembly 2 is arranged in the second installation cavity 112.

[0053] This arrangement further integrates refrigerator assembly 2, microwave oven assembly 3, induction cooker assembly 5, and electric kettle heating base 6. This highly integrated spatial layout significantly reduces the space occupied by separate appliances such as the refrigerator, microwave oven, and induction cooker, improving space utilization. This design is particularly suitable for spaces with limited space, such as apartments and hotels. Furthermore, separating heat-generating components such as the compressor in refrigerator assembly 2 from the main refrigerator body not only optimizes heat dissipation and avoids the potential impact of compressor 21 operation on the refrigerator's refrigeration performance, but also enhances the stability and reliability of the overall system.

[0054] As a preferred example of the present application, the microwave oven assembly 3 includes an inner tank 31 and an electrical cavity 37, the electrical cavity 37 is connected to the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 112, and a fan assembly 32 is arranged in the electrical cavity 37 or the first installation cavity 111 or the second installation cavity 112. As a preferred example of the present application, the fan assembly 32 is arranged in the electrical cavity 37, and the electrical cavity 37 is respectively connected to the first installation cavity 111 and the second installation cavity 112. A first air duct opening 113 is set on the outer shell of the first installation cavity 111, and a second air duct opening 114 is set on the outer shell of the second installation cavity 112. Under the action of the fan assembly 32, the external air flows to the first installation cavity 111 through the first air duct opening 113, and then flows into the electrical cavity 37 and then blows to the second installation cavity 112, and finally blows out through the second air duct opening 114, so that the fan assembly 32 can drive the cooling air to first contact the heating components of the induction cooker assembly 5 in the second installation cavity 112 and dissipate heat to them, and then enter the electrical cavity 37 to dissipate heat to the heating components of the microwave oven assembly 3, and finally enter the second installation cavity 112 to dissipate heat to the heating components inside the device, with high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0055] This design, by providing a cooling system formed by a group of fan components 32, can achieve air cooling and heat dissipation of the power components in the microwave oven component 3, the induction cooker component 5, and the electric kettle heating base 6, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the functional modules and reducing production costs. At the same time, it can effectively reduce their operating temperature, extend the service life of the electrical appliances, improve the stability of operation, and ensure sufficient heat dissipation of the electrical components.

[0056] As a preferred example of the present application, the first air duct opening 113 and the second air duct opening 114 are provided on the rear side panel of the housing assembly 1. This arrangement helps to avoid the air flow from blowing directly towards the user, which not only improves the user comfort but also avoids possible safety hazards.

[0057] As a preferred example of the present application, the limiting member 8 is provided on the rear side panel of the housing assembly 1, and the limiting member 8 covers the first air duct opening 113 and the second air duct opening 114. By providing the limiting member 8 covering the first air duct opening 113 and the second air duct opening 114 on the rear side panel of the housing assembly 1, the shielding effect of the limiting member 8 effectively hides the details of the air duct opening, which on the one hand ensures the smoothness of air inlet and outlet, and on the other hand makes the overall appearance of the device more concise, in line with the aesthetic requirements of modern homes, thereby significantly improving the appearance and user experience of the integrated appliance with the energy storage module while maintaining efficient heat dissipation.

[0058] As an example of the present invention, the limiting member 8 includes a top plate 82, with a first vertical plate 81 and a connecting plate 83 disposed on either side of the top plate 82. The first vertical plate 81 is disposed in close contact with the housing assembly 1. The first vertical plate 81 and the connecting plate 83 are connected to the first vertical plate 81 on a side away from the top plate 82. The upper end surface of the top plate 82 is disposed no lower than the lower end surface of the top panel 4. Preferably, side plates 84 are disposed on either side of the top plate 82, and the side plates 84 are connected to the first vertical plate 81 and the connecting plate 83, respectively. Preferably, a through hole 821 is disposed on the top plate 82 and / or a ventilation hole 831 is disposed on the connecting plate 83 for supplying air into the housing assembly 1.

[0059] This setting significantly improves the placement stability and heat dissipation performance of the integrated electrical appliance with an energy storage module by introducing the above-mentioned limiter 8 design. The limiter 8 not only provides stable support for the equipment and prevents safety hazards caused by unstable placement, but also limits the displacement of the equipment through its structural design, ensuring the safety of use. At the same time, the through holes on the top plate 82 and the ventilation holes on the connecting plate 83 provide reliable protection for the air circulation channel inside the shell assembly 1, effectively improving the heat dissipation conditions and reducing the risk of equipment failure due to overheating. In addition, the design of the limiter 8 also takes into account the improvement of mechanical strength. The provision of the side plate 84 enhances the stability of the overall structure and prevents the occurrence of extrusion deformation and the like. These improvements not only improve the user experience, but also extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs, providing strong support for the widespread application of integrated electrical appliances with energy storage modules.

[0060] As a preferred example of the present application, the microwave oven assembly 3 includes an inner container 31, which includes a rear panel 311. The rear panel 311 is provided with air holes for the fan assembly 32 to blow cooling air toward the second mounting cavity 112. The induction cooker assembly 5 includes a mounting bracket 51, which is fixed to the rear panel 311 and the housing assembly 1. A heating coil 52 is provided on the mounting bracket 51, and a PCB board 53 is provided below the heating coil 52. This arrangement utilizes the fan assembly 32 of the microwave oven assembly 3 to both blow air to dissipate heat from the internal structure of the microwave oven and simultaneously extract air from the PCB board 53 and heating coil 52 within the first mounting cavity 111, resulting in high heat dissipation efficiency.

[0061] Preferably, a height difference H is defined between the PCB 53 and the heating coil 52, and is preferably 5-15 cm. This arrangement prevents the heating coil 52 from interfering with the operational stability of the PCB 53. The PCB 53 can simultaneously control the operating parameters of the microwave oven assembly 3, the induction cooker assembly 5, and the operating status of the electric kettle heating base 6.

[0062] A magnetron 33 is disposed within the electrical cavity 37. A frequency converter 35 and a capacitor 36 are disposed below the magnetron 33. The capacitor 36 is located on a side of the frequency converter 35 close to the fan assembly 32. The capacitor 36 is connected to the frequency converter 35 and the magnetron 33, respectively. The frequency converter 35 is connected to the PCB board 53. This configuration optimizes and integrates the heat dissipation system by integrating the magnetron 33, the frequency converter 35, and the capacitor 36 within the electrical cavity 37 and using a fan assembly 32 for unified heat dissipation. This significantly improves heat dissipation efficiency and ensures the stability and reliability of the integrated electrical appliance with the energy storage module during continuous operation. After being boosted by the frequency converter 35, the high voltage electricity is stored in the capacitor 36 to supply high voltage electricity to the magnetron 33.

[0063] Preferably, the inner liner 31 is provided with an air inlet on a side close to the electrical cavity 37, and an air outlet is provided on the other side of the inner liner 31. An air inlet is provided with an air guide plate 34, and the air guide plate 34 is provided on the air inlet, and is gradually arranged from one side close to the fan assembly 32 to the other side close to the air inlet. This arrangement further realizes the efficient use of a fan assembly 32. The special design of the air guide plate 34 effectively increases the wind pressure at the air inlet, thereby guiding part of the air into the inner liner 31, thereby utilizing a fan assembly 32 to drive the air in the first installation cavity 111 into the electrical cavity 37, and then part of the air enters the inner liner 31, and part directly enters the second installation cavity 112. The structure is simple and the heat dissipation effect is good, which effectively reduces the operating temperature of the integrated electrical appliance with the energy storage module in a high temperature environment and prolongs the service life of the equipment.

[0064] As a preferred example of the present application, the top panel 4 is integrated or divided into blocks, and the electric kettle heating base 6 and the heating coil 52 of the induction cooker assembly 5 are correspondingly arranged at different positions of the top panel 4. Preferably, the top panel 4 is integrated, and the electric kettle heating base 6 and the heating coil 52 of the induction cooker assembly 5 are arranged on the left and right sides of the rear center line of the top panel 4, which is convenient for users to clean and maintain, and improves the durability and aesthetics of the appliance. As other examples of the present application, the top panel 4 can also be designed to include a two-block or three-block structure, and the electric kettle heating base 6 and the heating coil 52 of the induction cooker assembly 5 are respectively arranged on different blocks, which realizes a reasonable functional division, avoids mutual interference between different heating devices, and improves the convenience and safety of use.

[0065] Preferably, the top panel 4 adopts an integrated design of non-metallic material, and a connecting component 41 is bonded to the bottom of the top panel 4, and the connecting component 41 is assembled with the shell component 1 in a limited manner; a limiting member 8 is provided on one side of the shell component 1, and the limiting member 8 abuts against the side wall surface of the top panel 4, for limiting the assembled top panel 4.

[0066] This arrangement utilizes an adhesively secured connection assembly 41 to achieve limited assembly between the non-metallic top panel 4 and the housing assembly 1 through plugging, snapping, or other methods, eliminating the need for drilling holes in the top panel 4 and improving assembly security and convenience. Preferably, the limiter 8 is located on the rear side of the housing assembly 1 and has a thickness of D1 = 1-3 cm. This arrangement ensures a constant gap between the integrated appliance with the energy storage module and the wall, ensuring good heat dissipation.

[0067] As an example of the present invention, the connecting assembly 41 includes a first fixed plate 411, a plug-in block 4111 is provided on the first fixed plate 411, a limiting groove 116 is provided on the upper end surface of the shell assembly 1 at a position corresponding to the plug-in block 4111, and the plug-in block 4111 is limitedly assembled into the limiting groove 116. This arrangement can realize rapid assembly between the top panel 4 and the shell assembly 1, has a simple structure, and is convenient for production and processing. The positions of the plug-in block 4111 and the limiting groove 116 can be adjusted, that is, the limiting groove 116 is provided on the first fixed plate 411, and the plug-in block 4111 is provided on the upper end surface of the shell assembly 1 at a position corresponding to the limiting groove 116. The plug-in block 4111 can be set on the side or bottom of the first fixed plate 411 as needed.

[0068] Preferably, the connecting assembly 41 further includes a second fixing plate 412. The first fixing plate 411 and the second fixing plate 412 are respectively located on either side of the top panel 4. The stopper 8 is disposed perpendicularly to the first fixing plate 411 and the second fixing plate 412. This arrangement allows for positional assembly of both sides of the top panel 4, while also utilizing the stopper 8 to positionally constrain the assembled top panel 4. The second fixing plate 412 has the same structure as the first fixing plate 411, thereby improving the efficiency of top panel 4 assembly.

[0069] Preferably, the connecting assembly 41 further includes a third fixing plate 413, which is located on a side of the top panel 4 away from the stopper 8 and is pluggably assembled with the housing assembly 1. This arrangement, in conjunction with the first and second fixing plates 411, 412, limits the top panel 4 in three directions, preventing partial tilting of the top panel 4 and affecting its aesthetics. Preferably, the third fixing plate 413 is disposed perpendicular to the first and second fixing plates 411, 412.

[0070] As an example of the present invention, the third fixing plate 413 is provided with an insertion slot 4131 on a side away from the limiting member 8. The housing assembly 1 is provided with an insertion piece 115 at a position corresponding to the insertion slot 4131. The insertion piece 115 can be limitedly assembled into the insertion slot 4131. This arrangement has a simple structure and is easy to produce and process. At the same time, the insertion piece 115 is used to limit the assembly position of the top panel 4, thereby achieving high assembly accuracy.

[0071] As an example of the present invention, the insertion slot 4131 is formed by bending the third fixing plate 413 180 degrees at one end away from the stopper 8 and then bending it in the opposite direction. This configuration enables the insertion slot 4131 and the third fixing plate 413 to be integrally formed, facilitating production and processing.

[0072] Preferably, the insertion slot 4131 is provided with a guide plate 4132 on the side away from the top panel 4. The guide plate 4132 is arranged to be inclined from one end near the insertion slot 4131 to the other end, gradually moving away from the top panel 4. The minimum gap of the insertion slot 4131 is L1, and the thickness of the insertion piece 115 is L2, where L1 < L2. This arrangement allows the insertion piece 115 to be guided by the guide plate 4132, facilitating its assembly into the insertion slot 4131. The insertion slot 4131 also allows the insertion piece 115 to be clamped and secured, preventing the top panel 4 from loosening and generating noise during use, thereby ensuring both secure assembly and ease of use.
