[0035] Refrigeration equipment can be used to refrigerate items. The refrigeration equipment includes an air duct module with an air outlet and a return air inlet. Hot air from inside the refrigeration equipment's cavity enters the air duct module through the return air inlet, is cooled, and then flows back into the cavity through the air outlet to achieve cooling. However, in related technologies, the cooling method of the air duct module can easily lead to large temperature differences inside the freezer, resulting in poor cooling performance. The horizontal freezer provided in this application embodiment can cover different areas of the storage cavity as much as possible, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0036] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application embodiment provides a refrigeration device 10, which can cover different areas of the receiving cavity 230 with cold air as much as possible, thereby improving the refrigeration effect.

[0038] The refrigeration equipment 10 can be a refrigerator or a freezer. Specifically, the freezer can be a horizontal freezer or a vertical freezer. In this embodiment, for ease of description, a horizontal freezer is used as an example for illustrating the refrigeration equipment 10. The same principle applies when the refrigeration equipment 10 is other equipment.

[0039] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, the refrigeration device 10 includes a main body 210 and a door 220, an air duct module 100, an air outlet duct 300, and a refrigeration component 400 connected to the main body 210. The main body 210 has a receiving cavity 230 and a loading / unloading port 240 communicating with the receiving cavity 230. The door 220 can open or close the loading / unloading port 240. The air duct module 100 is disposed within the receiving cavity 230. The air outlet duct 300 is installed on the main body 210 and connects the air duct module 100 and the receiving cavity 230. The refrigeration component 400 is wound around the main body 210.

[0040] The air outlet duct 300 is positioned close to the loading / unloading port 240, while the cooling component 400 is positioned away from the loading / unloading port 240.

[0041] The refrigeration unit 10 can be used to refrigerate items. The main body 210 is the main structure of the entire horizontal freezer, providing a mounting base for the air duct module 100, compressor 160, evaporator 170, air intake component 150, and other structures, and also protecting the aforementioned electronic components. Frozen items are placed in the receiving cavity 230, and users can retrieve the frozen items from the receiving cavity 230 through the access port 240.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 The main body 210 is roughly a cuboid. For ease of description, the height direction Z, width direction X, and thickness direction Y are defined. In the use state of the horizontal freezer, the vertical direction is the height direction Z, and the projection of the main body 210 in the vertical direction is a rectangle. The direction of the longer side is the width direction X, and the direction of the shorter side is the thickness direction Y.

[0043] Since the thickness of the air duct module 100 is relatively small compared to its width, and the width of the air duct module 100 is basically equal to the thickness of the cabinet, the air duct module 100 can be installed on one side of the cabinet in the width direction X, so that the air blown out from the air duct module 100 can cover the side formed by the length direction and the width direction X as much as possible, thereby allowing the air blown out from the air duct module 100 to cover the entire interior of the cabinet and improve the uniformity of freezing as much as possible.

[0044] Similarly, for ease of description, six directions are defined: up, down, left, right, front, and back. In the height direction Z, the direction closer to the loading / unloading opening 240 is up, and the direction farther from the opening 240 is down. In the width direction X, the two directions are left and right, with the installation position of the air duct module 100 being right, and the opposite side being left. In the thickness direction Y, the connection point between the door body 220 and the main body 210 is back, and the opposite side is front.

[0045] Please see Figures 4-6The air duct module 100 enables airflow within the refrigeration unit 10 (horizontal freezer), allowing the air to be cooled and then blown onto the frozen items for freezing. The air duct module 100 includes an air duct panel 110 and an air duct rear cover 120. The air duct panel 110 and the air duct rear cover 120 are connected to form a mounting cavity 130 for installing the air guide 150. A fixing cavity 140 for installing the evaporator 170 is formed between the air duct panel 110 and the inner wall of the receiving cavity 230. The air duct panel 110 has a first air outlet 111 and a return air outlet 112, and the air duct rear cover 120 has an air inlet 121.

[0046] Under the action of the guide component 150, the air in the receiving cavity 230 enters the fixed cavity 140 through the return air port 112, is cooled by the evaporator 170, flows to the mounting cavity 130 through the air inlet 121, and is then blown into the receiving cavity 230 through the first air outlet 111. In other words, the evaporator 170 is located between the return air port 112 and the air inlet 121, and cools the air during the air circulation process, so that the air blown out from the first air outlet 111 is always cold air, thereby achieving the cooling of the receiving cavity 230.

[0047] The flow guide 150 can be a fan, specifically a centrifugal fan, an axial fan, or a cross-flow fan.

[0048] The cooling component 400 is used for cooling. Since the cooling component 400 is wrapped around the main body 210, the cooling component 400 can provide cold energy to the items in the receiving cavity 230 to freeze the items in the receiving cavity 230.

[0049] The air outlet duct 300 connects the ventilation duct module 100 and the receiving cavity 230. Specifically, the air outlet duct 300 connects the mounting cavity 130 and the receiving cavity 230. Therefore, the cold air in the mounting cavity 130 is blown into the receiving cavity 230 through the first air outlet 111 and also through the air outlet duct 300 to achieve cooling. Since the air outlet duct 300 is located close to the pick-up / placement port 240 and the cooling component 400 is located away from the pick-up / placement port 240, the cold air blown out by the air outlet 300 can cool the area of ​​the receiving cavity 230 near the pick-up / placement port 240, and the cooling component 400 can cool the area of ​​the receiving cavity 230 away from the pick-up / placement port 240. This reduces the temperature difference in the receiving cavity 230, making the overall cooling of the receiving cavity 230 more uniform and improving the cooling effect.

[0050] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the main body 210 includes an inner liner 211 and an outer shell 212. The inner liner 211 is disposed inside the outer shell 212, and the receiving cavity 230 is disposed inside the inner liner 211. The inner liner 211 has a side wall 231 and a bottom wall 232. The bottom wall 232 is disposed opposite to the loading port 240. The air outlet duct 300 is disposed at the top of the side wall 231, and the cooling component 400 is disposed at the bottom of the side wall 231.

[0051] The bottom wall 232 supports the items within the receiving cavity 230, and the air duct module 100 is mounted on the side wall 231. If the side wall 231 is divided into two along its height direction Z by a dividing line, the area above the dividing line can be considered the top of the side wall 231, and the area below the dividing line can be considered the bottom of the side wall 231. The area below the dividing line includes the lower middle portion and the bottom surface of the side wall 231. The air outlet duct 300 and the cooling component 400 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the side wall 231, allowing them to cover different areas of the receiving cavity 230 as much as possible, thereby further improving the uniformity of freezing.

[0052] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the air outlet 300 is disposed between the inner liner 211 and the outer shell 212, and the inner liner 211 has a first air outlet 213, which connects the air outlet 300 and the receiving cavity 230.

[0053] A foam layer is filled between the inner liner 211 and the outer shell 212. Since the air outlet duct 300 is located between the inner liner 211 and the outer shell 212, the air outlet duct 300 can be pre-embedded in the foam layer.

[0054] Specifically, an air outlet 310 can be pre-embedded in the foam layer. An elongated groove is cut in the air outlet 310 to form an air outlet channel 300. The air outlet 310 is installed on the inner liner 211 and covers the first air outlet 213 so that the first air outlet 213 is located in the air outlet channel 300, so that the first air outlet 213 is connected to the air outlet channel 300. Since the first air outlet 213 is also connected to the receiving cavity 230, the cold air from the air duct module 100 can be blown into the receiving cavity 230 through the air outlet channel 300 and the first air outlet 213.

[0055] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the sidewall 231 includes two oppositely arranged first sidewalls 231a and two oppositely arranged second sidewalls 231b, the first sidewalls 231a and the second sidewalls 231b are arranged at an angle, the air duct module 100 is disposed on one of the first sidewalls 231a, and the first air outlet 213 is disposed on at least one of the second sidewalls 231b.

[0056] When the cavity 230 contains a large number of items, the first air outlet 111 of the air duct module 100 may be blocked, leading to a short circuit in the return air and a decrease in the cooling capacity of the air duct module 100. However, since the air duct module 100 is located on the first side wall 231a and the first air outlet 213 is located on the second side wall 231b, with the first side wall 231a and the second side wall 231b forming an angle (i.e., the first air outlet 111 and the first air outlet 213 have different orientations and airflow directions), even if the first air outlet 111 is blocked, air can still be discharged through the first air outlet 213, thereby improving the short circuit in the return air and enhancing the cooling effect.

[0057] Specifically, the first air outlet 213 can be provided on one of the second sidewalls 231b, or the first air outlet 213 can be provided on both second sidewalls 231b; there is no limitation on this. Of course, since the main body 210 is roughly rectangular and the receiving cavity 230 is also roughly rectangular, the first sidewall 231a and the second sidewall 231b are arranged perpendicularly.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, a first air outlet 213 may also be provided on another first side wall 231a opposite to the air duct module 100, and an air outlet channel 300 may be provided on the first side wall 231a to connect the first air outlet 213 and the air duct module 100.

[0059] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first air outlet 111 and the first air supply outlet 213 are spaced apart in the width direction X of the main body 210.

[0060] Because the air duct module 100 is located on the right side of the receiving cavity 230, that is, the first air outlet 111 is located on the right side of the receiving cavity 230, the cooling effect on the right side of the receiving cavity 230 may be stronger, while the cooling effect on the left side of the receiving cavity 230 may be weaker. The first air outlet 111 and the first air supply outlet 213 are spaced apart in the width direction X of the main body 210, that is, the first air supply outlet 213 is located to the left of the first air outlet 111 and there is a gap between them. In this way, the first air supply outlet 213 can cool the left side of the receiving cavity 230, so that the first air outlet 111 and the first air supply outlet 213 can cover different areas of the receiving cavity 230 in the width direction X as much as possible, improving the cooling effect on the left side of the receiving cavity 230, thereby making the cooling of the receiving cavity 230 more uniform.

[0061] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, there are multiple first air outlets 213, and the multiple first air outlets 213 are spaced apart in the width direction X of the main body 210.

[0062] Multiple first air outlets 213 are spaced apart in the width direction X of the main body 210, that is, there is a gap between each two adjacent first air outlets 213 in the width direction X. In this way, the coverage area of ​​the first air outlets 213 in the width direction X is larger and more uniform, thereby further improving the cooling effect on the left side of the receiving cavity 230 and improving the cooling uniformity of the receiving cavity 230.

[0063] Specifically, multiple first air outlets 213 can be arranged at equal intervals to make the airflow from the multiple first air outlets 213 more uniform. In addition, each first air outlet 213 may include multiple first air holes 231a, which are arranged at intervals along the height direction Z of the main body 210. That is, each first air outlet 213 also covers a certain range in the height direction Z to enhance the cooling uniformity of the receiving cavity 230 in the height direction Z.

[0064] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the inner liner 211 also has a second air outlet 214 communicating with the air outlet 300. The second air outlet 214 is disposed on at least one second sidewall 231b. The air duct module 100 has a first air outlet 111 and a second air outlet 113. The first air outlet 111 is disposed facing at least another first sidewall 231a, and the second air outlet 113 is disposed facing at least the second sidewall 231b. The second air outlet 113 is communicating with the second air outlet 214.

[0065] The second air outlet 214 is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the first air outlet 213. The second air outlet 214 and its corresponding first air outlet 213 are located on the same second sidewall 231b. Therefore, the air outlet 310 is installed on the outside of the second sidewall 231b and simultaneously covers both the first air outlet 213 and the second air outlet 214, ensuring that both the first air outlet 213 and the second air outlet 214 are located within the air outlet channel 300. This achieves communication between the air outlet channel 300 and both the first air outlet 213 and the second air outlet 214. Specifically, the air outlet 310 can be directly adhered to the second sidewall 231b and simultaneously cover both the first air outlet 213 and the second air outlet 214.

[0066] Since the second air outlet 214 is located on the second side wall 231b, and the second air outlet 113 is located at least facing the second side wall 231b, it is convenient for the second air outlet 113 to communicate with the second air outlet 214. Since the second air outlet 113 is also connected to the mounting cavity 130, the cold air in the mounting cavity 130 can be blown into the receiving cavity 230 in sequence through the second air outlet 113, the second air outlet 214, the air outlet channel 300, and the first air outlet 213.

[0067] In some embodiments, the second air outlet 113 is located on the side of the air duct module 100 facing the second sidewall 231b.

[0068] Since the second air outlet 113 is located on the side of the duct module 100 facing the second sidewall 231b, the second air outlet 113 is completely facing the second sidewall 231b. The second air outlet 113 and the second air supply outlet 214 can be correspondingly arranged, and the side of the duct module 100 facing the second sidewall 231b can be arranged adjacent to the second sidewall 231b, so that the second air outlet 113 and the second air supply outlet 214 are connected. Thus, the connection between the second air outlet 113 and the second air supply outlet 214 can be achieved without adding connecting pipes, thereby simplifying the structure of the duct module 100.

[0069] Specifically, since the second air outlet 113 and the second air supply outlet 214 are connected by being adjacent to each other, the second air outlet 113 and the second air supply outlet 214 are flush in the height direction Z. The first air supply outlet 213 and the second air outlet 113 can be flush or staggered in the height direction Z. Similarly, the first air outlet 111 and the second air outlet 113 can be flush or staggered in the height direction Z, and there is no restriction on this.

[0070] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the side wall 231 is provided with an air supply groove 250, and the first air supply port 213 is provided on the bottom surface of the air supply groove 250.

[0071] The air supply duct 250 is recessed towards the outer side of the receiving cavity 230, and has an opening. The bottom surface of the air supply duct 250 is positioned opposite the opening. Because the air supply duct 250 is recessed in the side wall 231, and the first air outlet 213 is located on the bottom surface of the air supply duct 250, the items inside the receiving cavity 230 are less likely to come into contact with the bottom surface of the air supply duct 250 due to the limitation of the side wall 231. This can minimize the possibility of items inside the receiving cavity 230 blocking the first air outlet 213, thereby further improving the return air short-circuit situation and enhancing the cooling effect.

[0072] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the cooling element 400 is wound around the inner liner 211.

[0073] The cooling component 400 is directly mounted around the side wall 231 of the receiving cavity 230, transferring cooling energy only through the side wall 231. This reduces cooling energy loss during the cooling process within the receiving cavity 230. The air duct module 100 and the evaporator 170 work together to blow cold air into the receiving cavity 230, achieving cooling through air cooling. The cooling component 400 can also provide cooling energy to the receiving cavity 230 via liquid cooling. This combination of air cooling and liquid cooling minimizes condensation within the receiving cavity 230 while improving the cooling effect.

[0074] Among them, the refrigeration component 400 can be a refrigeration coil or a surface-mount evaporator, etc. The evaporator 170 can be a finned evaporator or a surface-mount evaporator.

[0075] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the receiving cavity 230 has a stepped surface 216 that is higher than the bottom wall 232, the air duct module 100 is mounted on the stepped surface 216, and the cooling component 400 is at least arranged between the bottom wall 232 and the stepped surface 216.

[0076] As described in this manual, when users place items into the receiving cavity 230, they usually start piling them up from the bottom of the receiving cavity 230, meaning the bottom of the receiving cavity 230 is the easiest place to fill with items. If the air duct module 100 is placed directly at the bottom of the receiving cavity 230, the items are more likely to block the first air outlet 111 of the air duct module 100, making it difficult for the gas in the receiving cavity 230 to circulate, which in turn results in insufficient cooling capacity in the receiving cavity 230 and affects the cooling effect.

[0077] In this embodiment, the air duct module 100 is positioned on the stepped surface 216, meaning that the air vent of the air duct module 100 is at least located above the stepped surface 216. The height of the stepped surface 216 is higher than the bottom wall 232 of the receiving cavity 230, ensuring a certain height between them. This allows the air vent of the air duct module 100 and the bottom wall 232 to be at a certain height. When users stack items, the air vent, being at a certain height, is less likely to be blocked, thus allowing the gas in the receiving cavity 230 to circulate and improving the overall cooling effect of the horizontal freezer.

[0078] The refrigeration component 400 is wound around the inner liner 211, and at least around the area between the step surface 216 and the bottom wall 232. Since the air duct module 100 is set on the step surface 216, there may be a situation where cold air cannot be blown into the area between the step surface 216 and the bottom wall 232. By setting the refrigeration component 400 in the area between the step surface 216 and the bottom wall 232, the area can be cooled by the refrigeration component 400, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the entire horizontal freezer.

[0079] The phrase "the cooling component 400 is at least located within the area between the step surface 216 and the bottom wall 232" means that the cooling component 400 can be located only between the step surface 216 and the bottom wall 232, or it can be located both between the step surface 216 and the bottom wall 232 and above the step surface 216.

[0080] Please see Figure 5 Between the inner liner 211 and the outer shell 212, there is an electrical cavity 215 to accommodate the compressor 160, and the electrical control is also located in the electrical cavity 215. Since the overall appearance of the cabinet is roughly cuboid, after setting the electrical cavity 215 between the inner liner 211 and the outer shell 212, the inner liner 211 is not a regular cuboid. That is, a stepped surface 216 is formed above the electrical cavity 215. The return air vent 112 is set at this position. The existing structure of the refrigeration equipment 10 can be utilized, and there is no need to set a separate stepped surface 216 higher than the bottom wall 232 in the housing cavity 230. This can not only improve the problem of air vent blockage in the air duct module 100, but also reduce the number of parts in the horizontal freezer and reduce the volume occupied by the housing cavity 230.
