[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the refrigerator provided by this utility model includes an oxygen regulation module 100, a compartment 200, and a heat dissipation component 300.
[0031] The oxygen regulation module 100 is used to perform electrochemical reactions and prepare oxygen-regulated gas. The chamber 200 is connected to the oxygen regulation module 100 and receives the oxygen-regulated gas prepared by the oxygen regulation module 100. The heat sink 300 is attached to the electrode of the oxygen regulation module 100 to exchange heat with the electrode and transfer the electrode heat to the outside of the chamber 200. The heat sink 300 reduces the electrode temperature, thereby reducing the temperature of the oxygen regulation module 100 and thus reducing the influence of the oxygen regulation module 100 on the temperature inside the chamber 200.
[0032] The oxygen adjusting module 100 comprises an electrolyte storage cavity 103, electrodes in the electrolyte storage cavity 103, the electrodes comprising a first electrode 101 and a second electrode 102. The first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are arranged in a spaced manner, and are respectively located on opposite sides of the electrolyte storage cavity 103. The first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are respectively connected to an anode and a cathode of a power supply, and oxygen adjusting gas is prepared after the first electrode 101 and the second electrode 102 are powered.
[0033] After being powered, oxygen reaches the surface of the first electrode 101 connected to the cathode of the power supply, and a dissolution reaction occurs on the surface of the first electrode 101 under the action of a direct current electric field, and then a reverse reaction occurs on the second electrode 102 connected to the anode of the power supply to produce pure oxygen. The oxygen adjusting gas prepared by the oxygen adjusting module 100 is introduced into the chamber 200 connected to the oxygen adjusting module 100 to increase or decrease the oxygen content in the chamber 200.
[0034] In this embodiment, the chamber 200 receives oxygen adjusting gas from the first electrode 101 to decrease the oxygen content in the chamber 200. The second electrode 102 is located outside the chamber 200, and the heat dissipation member 300 is attached to the second electrode 102. The temperature of the second electrode 102 is lowered by the heat dissipation member 300, and the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolyte storage cavity 103 is lowered by the second electrode 102, thereby lowering the temperature of the oxygen adjusting module 100, and further reducing the influence of the oxygen adjusting module 100 on the temperature in the chamber 200.
[0035] Of course, the chamber 200 can also receive oxygen adjusting gas from the second electrode 102 to increase the oxygen content in the chamber 200. At this time, the first electrode 101 is located outside the chamber 200, and the heat dissipation member 300 is attached to the first electrode 101. The temperature of the first electrode 101 is lowered by the heat dissipation member 300, and the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolyte storage cavity 103 is lowered by the first electrode 101, thereby lowering the temperature of the oxygen adjusting module 100, and further reducing the influence of the oxygen adjusting module 100 on the temperature in the chamber 200.
[0036] The first electrode 101 or the second electrode 102 located outside the chamber 200 is used for heat dissipation, and heat is transferred to the outside of the chamber 200 through the heat dissipation member 300, so that the temperature of the oxygen adjusting module 100 can be effectively lowered, and the influence of the heat generated by the operation of the oxygen adjusting module 100 on the temperature in the chamber 200 can be reduced.
[0037] Referring toFigures 1 to 4 In one embodiment, the first electrode 101 is located in the chamber 200. Oxygen in the chamber 200 participates in the reduction reaction at the location of the first electrode 101, thereby gradually consuming the oxygen in the chamber 200. The oxidation reaction occurs at the second electrode 102 located outside the chamber 200, generating oxygen.
[0038] During the electrochemical reaction in the oxygen regulating module 100, the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolyte storage cavity 103 gradually rises, thereby increasing the temperature of the entire oxygen regulating module 100. Thus, heat is transferred from the first electrode 101 to the chamber 200, causing the temperature of the chamber 200 to rise. By providing the heat dissipation member 300 at the second electrode 102, heat from the electrolyte in the electrolyte storage cavity 103 is transferred from the second electrode 102 to the outside of the chamber 200 through the heat dissipation member 300, thereby effectively reducing the temperature of the oxygen regulating module 100 and preventing large fluctuations in the temperature of the chamber 200 during oxygen regulation.
[0039] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the heat dissipation member 300 is a heat sink 301 that is attached to the second electrode 102. The second electrode 102 transfers heat to the heat sink 301, which can increase the heat exchange area between the second electrode 102 and the air outside the chamber 200, thereby accelerating the reduction of the temperature of the oxygen regulating module 100 and reducing the impact of the oxygen regulating module 100 on the temperature of the chamber 200.
[0040] The heat sink 301 can also be combined with a heat dissipation fan to accelerate air flow at the heat sink 301, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink 301.
[0041] In this embodiment, the connection method of the heat sink 301 and the second electrode 102 is not specifically limited, and they can be directly connected or indirectly connected, as long as the second electrode 102 can transfer heat to the heat sink 301.
[0042] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the heat dissipation member 300 is a semiconductor cooling member 302 combined with a heat dissipation fan. The semiconductor cooling member 302 includes a cold end and a hot end, the cold end of the semiconductor cooling member 302 is in contact with the second electrode 102, and the hot end of the semiconductor cooling member 302 is provided with a heat dissipation fan. The semiconductor cooling member 302 transfers cold energy to the second electrode 102 through the cold end to cool the second electrode 102, thereby reducing the temperature of the oxygen regulating module 100.
[0043] Referring to Figure 5 In another embodiment, the oxygen regulating module further comprises a communicating cavity 400 for communicating the oxygen regulating module 100 and the chamber 200, and the first electrode 101 is located in the communicating cavity 400.
[0044] The communicating cavity 400 is provided with an opening on the side away from the first electrode 101, and the communicating cavity 400 communicates with the chamber 200 through the opening. Air flows between the chamber 200 and the communicating cavity 400, and oxygen in the air in the communicating cavity 400 participates in the reduction reaction at the position of the first electrode 101, thereby gradually consuming the oxygen in the chamber 200 and the communicating cavity 400. The oxidation reaction occurs at the second electrode 102 located outside the chamber 200 to generate oxygen.
[0045] As in the previous embodiment, during the electrochemical reaction of the oxygen regulating module 100, the temperature of the electrolyte in the electrolyte storage cavity 103 gradually rises, thereby raising the temperature of the entire oxygen regulating module 100. By providing the heat dissipation member 300 at the second electrode 102, the temperature of the oxygen regulating module 100 is effectively reduced, preventing large fluctuations in the temperature in the chamber 200 during oxygen regulation. The heat dissipation member 300 can be selected from the heat dissipation fin 301 or the semiconductor cooling member 302 in combination with a cooling fan.
[0046] In this embodiment, the communicating cavity 400 can also be cooled. It can be understood that, since the first electrode 101 is located in the communicating cavity 400, part of the heat of the electrolyte is transferred from the first electrode 101 to the communicating cavity 400. By cooling the communicating cavity 400, the temperature of the oxygen regulating gas in the communicating cavity 400 is reduced, preventing the oxygen regulating gas from flowing into the chamber 200 and affecting the temperature in the chamber 200. The communicating cavity 400 can also be cooled by the heat dissipation member 300.
[0047] Referring to Figure 6 and Figure 8 On the basis of the embodiment shown in Figure 5 The communicating cavity 400 comprises an air inlet pipe 401 and an air outlet pipe 402 for communicating with the chamber 200. Air in the chamber 200 flows into the communicating cavity 400 from the air inlet pipe 401, and oxygen in the air flowing into the communicating cavity 400 participates in the reduction reaction at the position of the first electrode 101, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the communicating cavity 400. The low-oxygen air in the communicating cavity 400 flows into the chamber 200 from the air outlet pipe 402, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the chamber 200.
[0048] The flow guide 500 is arranged in the communicating cavity 400 and faces the air outlet pipe 402 to guide the oxygen-regulating gas in the communicating cavity 400 to the chamber 200. The flow guide 500 accelerates the air flow between the chamber 200 and the communicating cavity 400, thereby accelerating the regulation of the oxygen content in the chamber 200.
[0049] In the embodiment, the flow guide 500 is arranged in the communicating cavity 400 and faces the air outlet pipe 402 to guide the oxygen-regulating gas in the communicating cavity 400 to the chamber 200. The flow guide 500 is a flow guide fan.
[0050] With reference to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the refrigerator further comprises a cooling member 600 for cooling the air inlet pipe 401 and / or the air outlet pipe 402. The cooling member 600 cools the air inlet pipe 401 and / or the air outlet pipe 402, thereby reducing the temperature of the air in the air inlet pipe 401 and / or the air outlet pipe 402, and further reducing the influence of the air circulation between the chamber 200 and the communicating cavity 400 on the temperature in the chamber 200. The cooling member 600 can be arranged as the heat dissipation member 300, or a fan can be used to cool the air inlet pipe 401 and / or the air outlet pipe 402.
[0051] In summary, the heat dissipation member 300 is arranged on the second electrode of the oxygen-regulating module 100, the temperature of the second electrode is reduced by the heat dissipation member 300, thereby reducing the temperature of the oxygen-regulating module 100, and further reducing the influence of the oxygen-regulating module 100 on the temperature in the chamber 200.

Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
