Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.
[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application provides a cover plate assembly 100, including a cover plate 20 and a slider 40. The cover plate 20 is provided with a ventilation window assembly. The slider 40 is disposed on one side of the cover plate 20 and is slidably connected to the cover plate 20. During the sliding process, the slider 40 can block the ventilation window assembly to different degrees.
[0042] The cover assembly 100 provided in this application embodiment has a ventilated window assembly on the cover 20 and a slider 40 on one side of the cover 20, which is slidably connected to the cover 20. During the sliding process, the slider 40 can block the ventilated window assembly to different degrees, thereby adjusting the ventilation area of the ventilated window assembly and thus adjusting the moisturizing performance of the moisturizing box including the cover assembly 100. At this time, the user can adjust the moisturizing performance of the moisturizing box according to the properties of the food, so as to avoid the food in the moisturizing box from spoiling or losing moisture, thereby extending the shelf life of the food.
[0043] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The cover plate assembly 100 further includes a drive assembly, which includes a gear 51 and a knob 52; the slider 40 has a rack 45 on its edge, the gear 51 and the slider 40 are disposed on the same side of the cover plate 20, and the gear 51 meshes with the rack 45; the knob 52 is disposed on the side of the cover plate 20 opposite to the gear 51, and the knob 52 is connected to the gear 51.
[0044] It is understood that the rack 45 includes a plurality of teeth arranged at intervals in a straight line, and the edge of the gear 51 is provided with a plurality of teeth arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction.
[0045] It is understandable that by setting gears 51 and knobs 52 on both sides of the cover plate 20, the following technical effects can be achieved: When the cover plate assembly 100 is set at the opening of the box body and together with the box body to form a moisturizing box, the side where the knob 52 is located can be set as the outer side of the moisturizing box. At this time, the user can rotate the knob 52 to make the gear 51 rotate. When the gear 51 rotates, the engagement of the gear 51 and the rack 45 causes the slider 40 to move left and right. When the slider 40 moves, the slider 40 can block the ventilation window assembly to different degrees, thereby adjusting the ventilation area of the ventilation window assembly, and thus adjusting the moisturizing performance of the moisturizing box containing the cover plate assembly 100. Because the meshing transmission effect of the gear 51 and the rack 45 is good, the user can rotate the knob 52 effortlessly and with a good feel.
[0046] Please see Figure 4 The cover plate 20 is provided with a first through hole; the drive assembly also includes a connector 53, at least a portion of which is located in the first through hole, and the two ends of the connector 53 are respectively connected to the gear 51 and the knob 52.
[0047] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The ventilation window assembly includes a first ventilation window 211 and a second ventilation window 212 arranged at intervals, and the slider 40 is provided with a first hollow part 41 and a second hollow part 42 arranged at intervals.
[0048] When the slider 40 moves in the direction from the first ventilation window 211 to the second ventilation window 212 or in the direction from the second ventilation window 212 to the first ventilation window 211, the overlapping area of the first ventilation window 211 and the first hollow part 41 changes, and the overlapping area of the second ventilation window 212 and the second hollow part 42 changes.
[0049] Please see Figure 6 When the first ventilation window 211 is fully exposed in the first hollow portion 41 and the second ventilation window 212 is fully exposed in the second hollow portion 42, it means that the ventilation area of the cover assembly 100 is the sum of 100% of the ventilation area of the first ventilation window 211 and 100% of the ventilation area of the first ventilation window 211. At this time, the box (drawer) covered by the cover assembly 100 maintains the strongest gas flow with the outside, the moisturizing performance of the moisturizing box (moisturizing drawer) is the worst, and the humidity inside the moisturizing box (moisturizing drawer) is low.
[0050] Please see Figure 7When the first ventilation window 211 and the second hollow part 42 are completely covered by the slider body 61, the overlap area between the first ventilation window 211 and the first hollow part 41 is zero, and the overlap area between the second ventilation window 212 and the second hollow part 42 is zero. At this time, the ventilation area of the cover assembly 100 is zero. At this time, the gas flow between the box (drawer) covered by the cover assembly 100 and the outside world stops, and the moisturizing performance of the moisturizing box (moisturizing drawer) is optimal, and the humidity inside the moisturizing box (moisturizing drawer) is high.
[0051] Please see Figure 5 When half of the first ventilation window 211 is exposed in the first hollow portion 41 and half of the second ventilation window 212 is exposed in the second hollow portion 42, it means that the ventilation area of the cover assembly 100 is the sum of 50% of the ventilation area of the first ventilation window 211 and 50% of the ventilation area of the first ventilation window 211. At this time, the box (drawer) covered by the cover assembly 100 maintains a moderate air flow with the outside, the moisturizing performance of the moisturizing box (moisturizing drawer) is moderate, and the humidity inside the moisturizing box (moisturizing drawer) is moderate.
[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figures 5 to 7 The first ventilation window 211 includes a plurality of first ventilation holes spaced apart, and the second ventilation window 212 includes a plurality of second ventilation holes spaced apart.
[0053] Please see Figure 3 as well as Figures 5 to 7 The cover plate 20 includes a cover plate body 21 and a baffle structure connected together. The baffle structure and the slider 40 are disposed on the same side of the cover plate body 21. The baffle structure is connected to the cover plate body 21. The baffle structure includes a first baffle 31 and a second baffle 32 that are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The vent window assembly is provided on the cover plate body 21.
[0054] Please see Figure 4 The slider 40 includes a slider body 61 and a side plate structure connected together. The side plate structure is disposed on the side of the slider body 61 away from the cover plate body 21. The edge of the slider body 61 is provided with the rack 45. The side plate structure includes a first side plate 71 and a second side plate 72 that are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The slider body 61 is provided with a first hollow portion 41 and a second hollow portion 42.
[0055] Please combine Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figures 5 to 7The side of the first side plate 71 opposite to the second side plate 72 abuts against the first baffle 31, and the side of the second side plate 72 opposite to the first side plate 71 abuts against the second baffle 32.
[0056] It is understandable that by setting the first side plate 71 to abut against the first baffle 31 and the second side plate 72 to abut against the second baffle 32, it is equivalent to using the first baffle 31 and the second baffle 32 to define the channel that allows the slider 40 to move, so that the slider 40 moves along the defined route.
[0057] For example, the length of the first side plate 71 is equal to the length of the second side plate 72, and the length of the first baffle 31 is equal to the length of the second baffle 32.
[0058] Please combine Figure 3 as well as Figures 5 to 7 The first baffle 31 includes a first plate body and a first buckle 81 connected together. The first buckle 81 is disposed on the side of the first plate body facing the second side plate 72, and the side of the first side plate 71 facing away from the slider body 61 abuts against the first buckle 81.
[0059] The second baffle 32 includes a connected second plate body and a second buckle 82. The second buckle 82 is disposed on the side of the second plate body facing the first side plate 71, and the side of the second side plate 72 away from the slider body 61 abuts against the second buckle 82.
[0060] It is understandable that by setting the first buckle 81 and the second buckle 82 to abut against the first side plate 71 and the second side plate 72 respectively, the slider 40 can be limited by the first buckle 81, the second buckle 82 and the cover plate body 21, thereby preventing the slider 40 from separating from the cover plate 20.
[0061] Please see Figure 3 The length of the first baffle 31 is greater than the length of the first side plate 71, and the length of the second baffle 32 is greater than the length of the second side plate 72. The baffle structure also includes a third baffle 33 and a fourth baffle 34 that are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The two ends of the third baffle 33 are respectively connected to one end of the first baffle 31 and one end of the second baffle 32, and the two ends of the fourth baffle 34 are respectively connected to the other end of the first baffle 31 and the other end of the second baffle 32.
[0062] It is understandable that by setting the length of the first side plate 71 to be greater than the length of the first baffle 31, the length of the second side plate 72 to be greater than the length of the second baffle 32, and the baffle structure including the third baffle 33 and the fourth baffle 34, the third baffle 33 and the fourth baffle 34 can act as stop members. That is to say, when the slider 40 moves left or right to the third baffle 33 or the fourth baffle 34, it will stop. This can limit the two endpoints of the slider 40 in the left and right movement direction and prevent the slider 40 from moving too far and separating from the baffle structure.
[0063] Please see Figure 4 The side plate structure includes a third side plate 73 and a fourth side plate 74 that are spaced apart and parallel to each other. The two ends of the third side plate 73 are respectively connected to one end of the first side plate 71 and one end of the second side plate 72, and the two ends of the fourth side plate 74 are respectively connected to the other end of the first side plate 71 and the other end of the second side plate 72.
[0064] Please see Figure 4 For example, the first side plate 71, the second side plate 72, the third side plate 73, and the fourth side plate 74 are perpendicular to each other, and the first baffle 31, the second baffle 32, the third baffle 33, and the fourth baffle 34 are perpendicular to each other.
[0065] Please see Figure 4 For example, the first side plate 71, the second side plate 72, the third side plate 73, and the fourth side plate 74 are all disposed at the edge position of the slider body 61 and connected to the slider body 61.
[0066] Please see Figure 4 The slider 40 also includes a protrusion 62 connected to the slider body 61. The protrusion 62 is disposed on the side of the slider body 61 away from the cover plate body 21, and the protrusion 62 is disposed between the first side plate 71 and the second side plate 72.
[0067] Please see Figure 4 For example, the protrusion 62 is disposed between the first hollow portion 41 and the second hollow portion 42. For example, the protrusion 62 is in the shape of a cuboid, a cube, or a cylinder.
[0068] It is understandable that by providing a protrusion 62 on one side of the slider body 61, the ventilation window area of the cover plate assembly 100 can be adjusted by manually operating the slider 40 to slide left and right when the knob 52 is damaged or cannot work properly.
[0069] This application also provides a moisturizing box, including a box body and a cover assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, wherein the box body has a groove and the cover assembly 100 covers the opening of the groove.
[0070] For example, the box body is a drawer, and in this case, the humidifying box is a humidifying drawer.
[0071] This application also provides a refrigeration device, including the humidification box in any of the above embodiments.
[0072] For example, the refrigeration equipment includes refrigerators, freezers, beverage coolers, wine coolers, freezers, ice cream machines, ice makers, etc.
[0073] The cover assembly, humidifying box, and refrigeration device provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application, and the descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand this application. Furthermore, those skilled in the art will recognize that, based on the ideas of this application, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
