[0057] The refrigerator of the present embodiments will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 1 to 10 , among which, Figure 2 , and Figure 6 The hollow arrows in
[0058] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , and Figure 3 , in the present embodiments, the refrigerator comprises a cabinet 100, a freezing drawer 200 and a low-temperature refrigeration system 300.
[0059] The freezing compartment 110 is arranged in the cabinet 100.
[0060] The freezing drawer 200 is arranged in the freezing compartment 110, and the freezing drawer 200 comprises a drawer cavity 210 and a cold guide 220 arranged at the bottom of the drawer cavity 210.
[0061] The low-temperature refrigeration system 300 is arranged in the cabinet 100, and the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 is configured to provide cold energy to the cold guide 220 to make the temperature on the cold guide 220 less than or equal to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
[0062] The refrigerator of the present embodiments, since the bottom of the drawer cavity 210 is provided with the cold guide 220, when food is stored in the drawer cavity 210, the food can be directly placed on the cold guide 220, and then the cold guide 220 can directly exchange the cold energy thereon to the food. Moreover, the cold energy on the cold guide 220 is provided by the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 of the refrigerator, and the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can make the temperature on the cold guide 220 less than or equal to minus 30 degrees Celsius. All the above can make the food in the drawer cavity 210 freeze quickly. Therefore, the refrigerator of the present embodiments can quickly freeze the food, meet the use demand of the user that the food needs to be quickly frozen, and improve the use experience of the user.
[0063] With reference toFigure 2 and Figure 3 In the first embodiment of the low-temperature refrigeration system 300, the bottom of the freezing drawer 200 is provided with a cold-guiding and cold-supply air duct 230, which is located below the drawer cavity 210, and the cold-guiding member 220 is located between the drawer cavity 210 and the cold-guiding and cold-supply air duct 230.
[0064] The bottom of the cabinet 100 is provided with a cold-supply cavity 120, and the rear of the freezing compartment 110 is provided with an air supply passage 130, which is communicated between the cold-supply cavity 120 and the cold-guiding and cold-supply air duct 230.
[0065] The low-temperature refrigeration system 300 includes a refrigeration part 310 and a cold-supply fan 320. At least part of the refrigeration part 310 is arranged in the cold-supply cavity 120, and the refrigeration part 310 is used to provide cold energy. The cold-supply fan 320 is arranged in the cold-supply cavity 120, and the cold-supply fan 320 is used to guide the freezing airflow after heat exchange with the refrigeration part 310 to flow into the cold-guiding and cold-supply air duct 230 through the air supply passage 130, and the cold-guiding member 220 is used to exchange heat with the freezing airflow in the cold-guiding and cold-supply air duct 230 to cool the food placed thereon.
[0066] It can be understood that the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can provide cold energy of the refrigeration part 310 to the cold-guiding member 220 in the form of airflow, and this can be achieved by the construction of the cold-guiding and cold-supply air duct 230 and the cold-supply cavity 120, and the cooperation of the cold-supply fan 320.
[0067] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the top of the freezing drawer 200 and the top wall of the freezing compartment 110 are provided with an air-cooled cold-supply air duct 140, which is communicated with the air supply passage 130.
[0068] The top of the drawer cavity 210 has a taking opening 211 opened upward, and the cold-supply fan 320 is used to guide the freezing airflow after heat exchange with the refrigeration part 310 to flow into the air-cooled cold-supply air duct 140 through the air supply passage 130.
[0069] The refrigerator further includes a circulating fan 700. The circulating fan 700 is arranged in the air-cooled cold-supply air duct 140, and the fan outlet of the circulating fan 700 faces the drawer cavity 210, and the circulating fan 700 is used to flow the freezing airflow in the air-cooled cold-supply air duct 140 into the drawer cavity 210 in the state of being started.
[0070] It can be understood that through the arrangement of the circulating fan 700 and the construction of the air-cooled cooling air duct 140, the frozen air flow provided by the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can be guided into the drawer cavity 210, so as to further improve the freezing speed of the food in the drawer cavity 210, further ensure the quick-freezing effect of the refrigerator on the food, and ensure the user's experience.
[0071] With reference to Figure 4 In addition, the refrigerator can include an air duct plate 500 arranged at the rear of the freezing chamber 110, and the air supply channel 130 can be located between the air duct plate 500 and the rear wall of the freezing chamber 110. The air duct plate 500 is provided with a cold air outlet 510 corresponding to the cold air supply and cooling air duct 230, so as to realize the communication between the air supply channel 130 and the cold air supply and cooling air duct 230; and the air duct plate 500 is provided with an air-cooled air outlet 520 corresponding to the air-cooled cooling air duct 140, so as to realize the communication between the air supply channel 130 and the air-cooled cooling air duct 140.
[0072] And with reference to Figure 4 The drawer top cover 240 is further provided at the taking opening 211, and the circulating fan 700 is arranged at the circulating air outlet 241 of the drawer top cover 240. Further, when the circulating fan 700 is in a stopped state, the drawer top cover 240 can prevent the frozen air flow in the air-cooled cooling air duct 140 from flowing into the drawer cavity 210, so as to avoid the direct blowing of the frozen air flow to the food in the drawer cavity 210, avoid the loss of moisture of the food, and in combination with the quick-freezing effect of the cold guide 220 on the food, the refrigerator of the embodiment can realize the quick-freezing of the food while effectively ensuring the freezing quality of the food.
[0073] In some alternative embodiments, the refrigerator can include a common refrigeration cycle system, and a cooling cavity 120 and an air supply channel 130 are separately arranged in the cabinet 100. So that the common refrigeration cycle system separately provides the frozen air flow for the air-cooled cooling air duct 140, and the frozen air flow provided by the common refrigeration cycle system is delivered into the drawer cavity 210, which can also improve the freezing speed of the food in the drawer cavity 210, further ensure the quick-freezing effect of the refrigerator on the food, and ensure the user's experience.
[0074] With reference to Figure 2 In the embodiment, the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 includes a Stirling refrigerator 330.
[0075] The Stirling refrigerator 330 is arranged at the bottom of the cabinet 100, the refrigeration part 310 includes a cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 and a heat exchanger 312 connected to the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330, the heat exchanger 312 is arranged in the cooling cavity 120, and the cooling fan 320 is used to guide the refrigerated air flow after heat exchange with the heat exchanger 312 to flow into the cold air supply channel 230 and the air-cooled cooling air duct 140 through the air supply channel 130.
[0076] It can be understood that the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can be a refrigeration system composed of the Stirling refrigerator 330. Moreover, the temperature of the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 can reach minus 200℃, thereby the temperature of the cold guide 220 can be lower than minus 30℃, and the refrigerated air flow is delivered into the air-cooled cooling air duct 140, so as to ensure that the refrigerator can quickly freeze food.
[0077] Moreover, through the arrangement of the heat exchanger 312, the heat exchange efficiency and heat exchange amount between the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 and the air flow after heat exchange with the cold end 311 can be ensured, so as to further ensure the quick freezing effect of the refrigerator on food.
[0078] In some alternative embodiments, the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can be a refrigeration cycle system including a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device and an evaporator 420. The compressor, the condenser, the throttling device and the evaporator 420 are sequentially connected. Moreover, a low-temperature refrigerant can be used to achieve the temperature of the cold guide 220 lower than minus 30℃. For example, R23, R508B, R404A and the like. At this time, the refrigeration part 310 can include the evaporator 420. The evaporator 420 is arranged in the cooling cavity 120, and the cooling fan 320 is used to guide the refrigerated air flow after heat exchange with the evaporator 420 to flow into the cold air supply channel 230 and the air-cooled cooling air duct 140 through the air supply channel 130, so as to ensure that the refrigerator can quickly freeze food.
[0079] In some alternative embodiments, the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can be a refrigeration cycle system including a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device and an evaporator 420. The compressor, the condenser, the throttling device and the evaporator 420 are sequentially connected. Moreover, a low-temperature refrigerant can be used to achieve the temperature of the cold guide 220 lower than minus 30℃. For example, R23, R508B, R404A and the like. At this time, the refrigeration part 310 can include the evaporator 420. The evaporator 420 is arranged in the cooling cavity 120, and the cooling fan 320 is used to guide the refrigerated air flow after heat exchange with the evaporator 420 to flow into the cold air supply channel 230 and the air-cooled cooling air duct 140 through the air supply channel 130, so as to ensure that the refrigerator can quickly freeze food.
[0080] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the embodiment, a heterogeneous separator 600 is arranged in the cooling cavity 120, and the heterogeneous separator 600 is arranged between the refrigeration part 310 (located in the part of the cooling cavity 120, i.e., the aforementioned heat exchanger 312 / evaporator 420) and the air supply channel 130, and the heterogeneous separator 600 is used to remove frost in the freezing air flow.
[0081] It can be understood that, due to the low temperature of the refrigeration part 310 of the low-temperature refrigeration system 300, frost will be deposited on the refrigeration part 310. Then, after the air flow passes through the refrigeration part 310 for heat exchange, the frost will be carried into the freezing chamber. Then, the heterogeneous separator 600 can be arranged to remove the frost in the freezing air flow, so as to avoid the frost from being blown into the freezing chamber and ensure the user experience.
[0082] In the embodiment, the air inlet 610 of the heterogeneous separator 600 is communicated with the air outlet of the refrigeration part 310, the gas phase outlet 620 of the heterogeneous separator 600 is communicated with the air supply channel 130, and the solid phase outlet 630 of the heterogeneous separator 600 is communicated with the bottom of the refrigeration part 310.
[0083] It can be understood that, by communicating / extending the solid phase outlet 630 of the heterogeneous separator 600 to the bottom of the refrigeration part 310, the frost removed by the heterogeneous separator 600 can be transported to the bottom of the refrigeration part 310 (in the water pan), and when the refrigeration part 310 is heated to defrost, the frost at the bottom of the refrigeration part 310 will melt and be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 or be discharged into the evaporator pan of the refrigerator.
[0084] In addition, in the prior art, some refrigerators are provided with a cold guide plate in the freezing chamber 110, and the refrigerator is provided with a low-temperature refrigeration system 300 including a Stirling refrigerator 330 and a refrigerant circulation pipe. The Stirling refrigerator 330 is arranged in the cabinet 100. The refrigerant circulation pipe is connected to the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerant and is arranged on the cold guide plate through the wall of the freezing chamber 110, so as to exchange the cold energy of the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 to the cold guide plate through the refrigerant circulation pipe, and quickly freeze the food placed on the cold guide plate. However, the freezing drawer 200 is arranged in the freezing chamber 110, and the cold guide plate is arranged in the drawer cavity 210 of the freezing drawer 200. Since the refrigerant circulation pipe is a metal pipe, the refrigerant circulation pipe cannot adapt to the change of the position of the freezing drawer 200 in the freezing chamber 110, so that the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 cannot provide cold energy to the cold guide plate through the refrigerant circulation pipe, and the refrigerator cannot quickly freeze the food stored in the drawer cavity 210, which reduces the user experience.
[0085] Referring to Figure 6 In the second embodiment of the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 of the present embodiment, the freezing drawer 200 is movably arranged in the freezing compartment 110 in the front-rear direction; and the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 comprises a refrigeration coil 340 and an elastic hose 350.
[0086] The refrigeration coil 340 is arranged on the cold guide 220, and a heat exchange medium flows in the refrigeration coil 340, which is used to provide cold energy to the cold guide 220.
[0087] The first end of the elastic hose 350 is communicated with the refrigeration coil 340, and the second end of the elastic hose 350 is arranged through the wall of the freezing compartment 110, and the elastic hose 350 is used to transport the heat exchange medium between the cold guide 220 and the wall of the freezing compartment 110 and adapt to the position change of the freezing drawer 200 in the freezing compartment 110.
[0088] Since the refrigerator of the present embodiment is provided with the refrigeration coil 340 on the cold guide 220, and the elastic hose 350 is arranged between the refrigeration coil 340 and the wall of the freezing compartment 110, the elastic hose 350 can adapt to the position change of the freezing drawer 200 in the freezing compartment 110, and then the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can provide the heat exchange medium in it to the refrigeration coil 340 from the wall of the freezing compartment 110 through the elastic hose 350, so that the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 can provide cold energy to the cold guide 220 through the elastic hose 350 and the refrigeration coil 340. Therefore, the refrigerator of the present embodiment can quickly freeze the food stored in the drawer cavity 210, ensuring the user's experience.
[0089] Of course, it should be noted that the above-mentioned first embodiment of the low-temperature refrigeration system 300, i.e., the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 provides cold energy of the refrigeration part 310 to the cold guide 220 in the form of air flow, without considering the position change of the freezing drawer 200 in the freezing compartment 110,
[0090] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 8 In the present embodiment, the elastic hose 350 is arranged in a curved and coiled manner in any direction to facilitate the whole elastic hose 350 to occupy as little space as possible in the freezing compartment 110 in other directions except the direction, to ensure the storage space of the drawer cavity 210 and the user's experience.
[0091] Referring to Figure 8 In the present embodiment, the elastic hose 350 is arranged in a curved and coiled manner in a disc shape, and one end of the elastic hose 350 is coiled at the middle part, and the other end of the elastic hose 350 is coiled at the edge.
[0092] It can be understood that the whole of the flexible hose 350 can be arranged between the rear side wall of the freezing chamber 110 and the freezing drawer 200 in parallel to the rear side wall of the freezing chamber 110 to ensure the space of the freezing chamber 110 in the front-rear direction; or the whole of the flexible hose 350 can be arranged between the left / right side wall of the freezing chamber 110 and the freezing drawer 200 in parallel to the left / right side wall of the freezing chamber 110 to ensure the space of the freezing chamber 110 in the left-right direction, ensure the storage space of the drawer cavity 210, and ensure the use experience of the user.
[0093] With reference to Figure 6 In the embodiment, the flexible hose 350 is arranged in a spiral shape and curved in the front-rear direction, and the flexible hose 350 is located below the freezing drawer 200.
[0094] It can be understood that the whole of the flexible hose 350 can also be arranged in a spiral shape and curved in the front-rear direction, and the flexible hose 350 can be located below the freezing drawer 200 to ensure the space of the freezing chamber 110 in the up-down direction, ensure the storage space of the drawer cavity 210, and ensure the use experience of the user.
[0095] In the embodiment, the flexible hose is arranged in an S shape and curved (for example, as shown in Figure 9 the freezing coil is arranged in an S shape and curved), to ensure the storage space of the drawer cavity 210, and ensure the use experience of the user. Specifically, the flexible hose can be arranged on the rear wall / left side wall / right side wall / bottom surface of the freezing chamber.

[0118] In some alternative embodiments, the vapor compression refrigeration system 400 can be replaced by the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 in the first embodiment of the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 which exchanges heat through air flow. In combination with the low-temperature refrigeration system 300 in the embodiment which provides cold energy to the cold guide 220 through the flexible hose 350, the food freezing speed in the drawer cavity 210 can be further improved, the quick-freezing effect of the refrigerator on the food can be ensured, and the user's experience can be ensured.

[0120] It can be understood that, due to the limitation of the structure of the Stirling refrigerator 330, the distance between the cold end 311 and the hot end 331 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 is about 50mm, and in order to minimize the leakage of cold energy from the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330, the hot end 331 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 can be arranged together with the cold end in the foaming layer 150. Of course, it can also be understood that the height of the foaming layer 150 in the direction from the cold end 311 to the hot end 331 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 is increased. Therefore, the embodiment can further limit the leakage of cold energy from the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 and the heat exchanger 360, and further ensure the quick freezing effect of the refrigerator on food.
[0121] Moreover, since the hot end 331 of the Stirling refrigerator is surrounded by the foaming layer 150, the hot end 331 of the Stirling refrigerator cannot dissipate heat to the surrounding environment, and therefore the vapor compression refrigeration system 400 can be used to dissipate heat from the hot end 331 of the Stirling refrigerator, so as to ensure the refrigeration performance of the cold end 311 of the Stirling refrigerator 330 and the quick freezing effect of the refrigerator on food.
