[0002] In today's era, the beauty industry has experienced unprecedented booming development. Consumers are paying increasing attention to beauty products, focusing not only on the variety and quality of products but also on their storage methods. Many active ingredients in skincare and cosmetic products, such as vitamin C, retinol, and peptides, are prone to oxidation and decomposition at high temperatures, leading to reduced or even lost efficacy. Therefore, refrigeration has gradually become an important means of extending the shelf life of beauty products and maintaining their activity and efficacy. This demand has directly driven the rise of the market for refrigeration equipment such as beauty refrigerators.
[0003] Most refrigeration devices are designed with a large volume to achieve a large storage capacity. This large size is extremely inconvenient in terms of space utilization, especially for users who want to place the refrigeration device in space-constrained areas such as dressing tables or bedside tables for extended periods. Dressing tables and bedside tables typically need to hold numerous beauty tools, daily necessities, and decorative items. A large refrigeration device occupies a lot of valuable space, resulting in a cluttered desktop and affecting usability and overall aesthetics. Moreover, a large volume often means a large weight, which makes it inconvenient to move and lift the refrigeration device. In short, the refrigeration devices in this technology have poor convenience. Summary of the Invention

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments.

Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed.
[0058] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used in the text to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature, as shown in the figure.

[0061] To address the technical problem of poor convenience caused by the large size of existing refrigeration equipment, this disclosure provides a refrigeration component, a storage component, a refrigeration device, and a control method.
[0062] In this disclosure, the refrigeration component and the storage component of the refrigeration equipment are detachably connected, thus realizing a separate refrigeration equipment. When cooling is required for the storage component, the refrigeration component and the storage component can be connected. In this state, the storage component is placed on the base of the refrigeration component, and the storage component and the refrigeration component are in close contact. The first cold-conducting element of the refrigeration component can transfer the cold energy generated by the refrigeration component to the storage component, thereby cooling the storage component. During use, when it is necessary to move the refrigeration equipment, the refrigeration component and the storage component can be separated, and only the storage component needs to be moved. Therefore, within a certain space, the user's needs can be met by moving less of the components.
[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a refrigeration device is provided, along with a refrigeration component 1 and a storage component 2. That is, both the refrigeration component 1 and the storage component 2 are applied to the refrigeration device. The refrigeration device can be, for example, a cosmetic refrigerator, or other devices that provide refrigeration; there is no limitation thereto.
[0064] The storage component 2 is detachably connected to the cooling component 1 to facilitate the independent movement of the storage component 2. The cooling component 1 includes a connected cooling section 11 and a base section 12, which is used to house the storage component 2 to ensure its stable placement. For example, the base section 12 can be made of stainless steel to ensure sufficient strength and stability. The base section 12 can be constructed as a square structure or other shapes, without limitation.
[0065] The refrigeration component 11 includes a refrigeration element 112 and a first cooling conductor 111, with the first cooling conductor 111 in contact with the cold end of the refrigeration element 112. When the refrigeration component 11 and the storage component 2 are connected, the storage component 2 is placed on the base portion 12, and the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 11 are in contact. The first cooling conductor 111 transfers the cooling energy generated by the refrigeration element 112 to the storage component 2, thereby cooling the storage component 2.
[0066] The base portion 12 and the cooling portion 11 can be constructed as an L-shaped structure, with the base portion 12 serving as the horizontal part of the L-shaped structure and the cooling portion 11 serving as the vertical part of the L-shaped structure. Thus, when the storage component 2 is stably placed on the base portion 12, the cooling portion 11 can better fit with the storage component 2.
[0067] The first heat-conducting component 111 can be made of copper or aluminum. For example, the first heat-conducting component 111 can be a heat-conducting aluminum block. Of course, the first heat-conducting component 111 can also be other heat-conducting structures, and there is no limitation on this.
[0068] The storage component 2 may include a storage cavity and a second cooling element 21, which cooperates with the first cooling element 111. When the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1 are connected, the storage component 2 is placed on the base portion 12 of the cooling component 1, and the storage component 2 and the cooling component 11 are in close contact. The second cooling element 21 transfers the cold energy generated by the cooling component 112 to the storage cavity, thereby cooling the storage component 2. In other words, in this embodiment, the cooperation of the first cooling element 111 and the second cooling element 21 transfers the cold energy generated by the cooling component 112 to the storage cavity, thereby achieving cooling of the storage component 2.
[0069] The first cooling component 111 may include a protruding structure, and the storage component 2 includes a mating groove 22 that mates with the protruding structure. When the cooling component 11 and the storage component 2 are in a fitted state, the protruding structure is inserted into the mating groove 22 of the storage component 2, so that the first cooling component 111 contacts the second cooling component 21, and can better ensure the stability of the fit between the storage component 2 and the cooling component 11.
[0070] In some embodiments, the first cooling element 111 is a cooling aluminum block, protruding from the surface of a first side of the cooling section. The first side is the side of the cooling section 11 that is used to abut against the storage component 2. That is, when the cooling section 11 and the storage component 2 are connected, the side of the cooling section 11 facing the storage component 2 is the first side. In this embodiment, the second cooling element 21 can be a cooling aluminum plate, at least a portion of which forms the bottom of the mating groove 22. Thus, after the cooling aluminum block is inserted into the mating groove 22, it can abut against the cooling aluminum plate, thereby facilitating the transfer of cold energy between the two.
[0071] It should be noted that the second cooling element 21 and the mating groove 22 of the storage component 2 can be designed in addition to the above-described embodiment, and there is no limitation on this. For example, the cooling aluminum plate can form part of the groove of the mating groove 22, that is, the cooling aluminum plate is provided with a groove, and the groove is part of the mating groove 22. With this arrangement, the bottom and part of the groove wall of the mating groove 22 can be made of the cooling aluminum plate, which can better improve the cold transfer effect between the cooling aluminum plates.
[0072] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to cool the storage component 2, the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2 can be connected. In this state, the storage component 2 is placed on the base portion 12 of the cooling component 1, and the storage component 2 and the cooling component 11 are in a close fit. The first cold-conducting element 111 of the cooling component 11 can transfer the cold energy generated by the cooling element 112 of the cooling component 11 to the storage component 2, thereby cooling the storage component 2.
[0073] When the refrigeration equipment needs to be moved during use, the refrigeration component 1 and the storage component 2 can be separated, and the storage component 2 can be moved separately. Thus, with a certain amount of space, the user's needs can be met by moving less of the equipment.
[0074] For example, when the refrigeration device is a beauty refrigerator, the storage component 2 can be lifted and used independently of the refrigeration component 1. When the beauty refrigerator needs to cool, the refrigeration component 1 and the storage component 2 are combined into a connected state to complete the cooling process. When the user needs to apply makeup, the storage component 2 can be removed separately and temporarily placed on the dressing table. After finishing makeup, the storage component 2 can be returned to the refrigeration component 1. This avoids the problem of the beauty refrigerator being crowded with items and occupying excessive countertop space when placed on the dressing table for a long time, while also reducing the weight of the beauty refrigerator and improving its convenience.
[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, reference Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a refrigeration device and its control method are provided, along with a refrigeration component 1 and a storage component 2 of the refrigeration device. The refrigeration component 11 may include a first connector, through which the refrigeration component 11 is detachably connected to the storage component 2. For example, the storage component 2 includes a second connector, which cooperates with the first connector of the refrigeration component 11 to achieve a detachable connection between the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 11.
[0076] The first connector may include multiple electromagnetic structures 115, which are distributed on the first side of the refrigeration section 11 to ensure the reliability of the connection between the refrigeration section 11 and the storage component 2. When the first connector includes electromagnetic structures 115, the storage component 2 includes magnetically engaging structures 23 that cooperate with the electromagnetic structures 115. That is, the second connector includes multiple magnetically engaging structures 23 that cooperate with the electromagnetic structures 115, which are distributed on the second side of the storage component 2.
[0077] The magnetic mating structure 23 may include a magnet, and the magnetic poles of the electromagnetic structure 115 facing the storage component 2 are adjustable to adjust the attraction or repulsion between the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic mating structure 23, thereby facilitating the connection or separation of the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 1.
[0078] The refrigeration component 1 may include a detection device 13 and a control device (not shown in the figure). The detection device 13 is electrically connected to the control device and is used to detect the distance between the first side and the storage component 2. The detection device 13 may be, for example, a proximity switch or other distance-detecting devices, and is not limited thereto. The detection device 13 may be located on the first side of the refrigeration component 11.
[0079] Additionally, the control device can be electrically connected to the electromagnetic structure 115. The control device is configured to, upon receiving a signal indicating that the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2 are assembled, and when the detection device 13 detects that the distance between the first side and the storage component 2 is less than or equal to a first distance threshold, control the magnetic pole of the electromagnetic structure 115 toward one end of the storage component 2 such that there is an attractive force between the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic mating structure 23.
[0080] The refrigeration component 1 may include a first button 14 (which may be a virtual button or a physical button, without limitation). When the user needs the refrigeration component 1 to cool the storage component 2, the storage component 2 can be placed on the base portion 12, and then the aforementioned button can be operated. The control device can then receive a signal indicating that the refrigeration component 1 and the storage component 2 are assembled, and activate the detection device 13 to perform distance detection. The storage component 2 can gradually move towards the refrigeration component 11. When it moves to a distance less than or equal to a first distance threshold from the first side of the refrigeration component 11, the control device can adjust the magnetic pole of the electromagnetic structure 115 towards one end of the storage component 2, so that the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic mating structure 23 are attractive forces, thereby better ensuring the tight fit between the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 11. This ensures both the stability of the connection between the two and the reliability of the cold transfer between the first cold-conducting component 111 and the second cold-conducting component 21.
[0081] It should be noted that the first distance threshold can be set according to actual needs, and its specific value is not limited.
[0082] The control device can also be configured to, upon receiving a signal indicating that the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1 are separating, control the electromagnetic structure 115 to create a repulsive force between the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic coupling structure 23, so as to facilitate the separation of the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1.
[0083] The cooling component 1 may include a second button 15 (which may be a virtual button or a physical button, and is not limited thereto). When the user needs to extract or move the storage component 2, the user can operate the second button 15. The control device will then receive a signal indicating that the storage component 2 is separating from the cooling component 1. Then, by adjusting the magnetic pole of the end of the electromagnetic structure 115 facing the storage component 2, a repulsive force will be generated between the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic mating structure 23, thereby facilitating the separation of the storage component 2 from the cooling component 1.
[0084] It should be noted that, in addition to obtaining signals indicating the separation of the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 1 or signals indicating the assembly of the refrigeration component 1 and the storage component 2 through the above-mentioned methods, the control device may also obtain signals through other means, and there is no limitation on this.
[0085] In addition, in this embodiment, the base portion 12 may include a limiting portion, and the storage component 2 may include a mating portion that cooperates with the limiting portion. The cooperation between the limiting portion and the mating portion enables the storage component 2 to be positioned on the base portion 12, thereby ensuring accurate assembly between the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1.
[0086] The limiting part may include at least one strip-shaped limiting groove 121, and the mating part may include at least one strip-shaped limiting protrusion 24, with at least one limiting groove 121 corresponding to at least one limiting protrusion 24. The storage component 2 is placed on the base part 12 by the corresponding limiting protrusions 24 engaging with the limiting grooves 121.
[0087] For example, the limiting part may include two strip-shaped limiting grooves 121. The limiting grooves 121 are formed by a downward indentation from the upper surface of the base part 12, and the limiting grooves 121 extend from the cooling part 11 in a direction away from the cooling part 11, with their extension direction perpendicular to the cooling part 11. The mating part includes two limiting protrusions 24 corresponding to the two limiting grooves 121, and the limiting protrusions 24 are formed by a downward protrusion from the lower surface of the storage component 2. When it is necessary to assemble the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1, the limiting protrusions 24 of the storage component 2 can be placed into the corresponding limiting grooves 121 first, thereby realizing the limiting placement of the storage component 2 and the base part 12. Then, the storage component 2 is moved toward the cooling part 11. At this time, the limiting protrusions 24 move along the limiting grooves 121 until the storage component 2 and the first side of the cooling part 11 are in contact, and the limiting protrusions 24 are completely inserted into the limiting grooves 121.
[0088] It should be noted that the limiting part and the mating part can be any other structure that can play a limiting role, in addition to the structure described above. There are no restrictions on this.
[0089] The limiting groove 121 may be provided with multiple rollers 122, which are arranged along the extension direction of the limiting groove 121. When the limiting protrusion 24 moves in the limiting groove 121, the rollers 122 can reduce the resistance of the relative movement between the two, so as to facilitate the movement of the storage component 2, thereby facilitating the assembly of the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 1.
[0090] The refrigeration component 1 may also include a drive mechanism (not shown in the figure), which drives the roller 122 to roll, thereby facilitating the movement of the storage component 2 relative to the refrigeration component 1. It should be noted that the drive mechanism can be one that drives the roller 122 to rotate in a single direction, or it can be a mechanism that drives the roller 122 to rotate forward and backward; this is not limited. When the drive mechanism can drive the roller 122 to rotate forward and backward, this can generally be achieved by changing the direction of the current or by using a stepper motor or servo motor. Based on this, the engagement and disengagement processes of the storage component 2 and the refrigeration component 11 can be facilitated by the roller 122.
[0091] When it is necessary to assemble the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1, that is, when the storage component 2 and the cooling component 11 need to be attracted together, the control device, upon receiving a signal indicating that the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2 are being assembled, can control the drive mechanism to drive the roller 122 to roll in a first direction (e.g., forward) to move the storage component 2 closer to the cooling component 11, so as to facilitate the assembly of the storage component 2 and the cooling component 1. During the movement of the storage component 2 closer to the cooling component 11, the detection device 13 can continuously or periodically detect the distance between the storage component 2 and the first side of the cooling component 11. When the storage component 2 moves to a distance less than or equal to the first distance threshold from the first side of the cooling component 11, the control device can adjust the magnetic pole of the electromagnetic structure 115 facing the storage component 2 so that the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic mating structure 23 are attractive forces, thereby better ensuring the tight fit between the storage component 2 and the cooling component 11, ensuring both the stability of the connection between the two and the reliability of the cold transfer between the first cold-conducting component 111 and the second cold-conducting component 21.
[0092] When it is necessary to separate the storage component 2 from the cooling component 1, that is, when it is necessary to separate the storage component 2 from the cooling component 11, the control device, upon receiving a signal indicating that the storage component 2 and the cooling component 11 are separating, can adjust the magnetic pole of the end of the electromagnetic structure 115 facing the storage component 2, so that there is a repulsive force between the electromagnetic structure 115 and the magnetic coupling structure 23, so that the storage component 2 moves away from the cooling component 11. At the same time, the drive mechanism can be controlled to drive the roller 122 to roll in a second direction (e.g., in the opposite direction) to drive the storage component 2 away from the cooling component 11, thereby realizing the automatic separation of the storage component and the cooling component 1. Furthermore, the detection device 13 can detect the distance between the storage component 2 and the first side of the cooling component 11 in real time or periodically. When the distance between the first side and the storage component 2 is detected to be greater than or equal to a second distance threshold, it indicates that the user can easily remove the storage component 2, and the control device can control the drive mechanism to cut off the power to avoid wasting power and improve energy saving.
[0093] In addition, the cooling section 11 includes a transmitting coil 118, and the storage component 2 includes a receiving coil 27 and a cold-end fan 28, with the receiving coil 27 electrically connected to the cold-end fan 28. When the cooling section 11 and the storage component 2 are in contact, the transmitting coil 118 and the receiving coil 27 work together to connect the power supply line of the cold-end fan 28, and then the cold-end fan 28 can be started to improve the cooling effect.
[0094] In some implementations...
[0095] refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the refrigeration device can be a beauty refrigerator. The beauty refrigerator may include a storage component 2 and a refrigeration component 1. The refrigeration component 1 may be constructed in an L-shape, and it may include a refrigeration section 11 and a base section 12. The outer side of the refrigeration section 11 may have an air inlet 116 and an air outlet 117 for heat dissipation. It should be noted that the inner side of the refrigeration section 11 includes the side connected to the base section 12 and the side that fits against the storage component 2 (i.e., the first side). The outer side of the refrigeration section 11 may include two other sides that are opposite to the aforementioned two sides. The air inlet 116 may be located on the other side opposite to the first side (which may be referred to as the top side), and the air outlet 117 may be located on the other outer side (which may be referred to as the rear side).
[0096] In this embodiment, control keys can be provided near the air outlet 117 for function control. The control keys may include a first button 14 and a second button 15. The storage component 2 is designed with a handle 25 and a carrying handle 26 for lifting. The carrying handle 26 is located on the top side of the storage component 2, that is, on the side of the storage component 2 away from the base portion 12. The carrying handle 25 may be located on the front side of the storage component 2, that is, on the side of the storage component 2 away from the cooling portion 11.
[0097] The cooling component 11 of the cooling unit 1 may be equipped with a detection device 13, an electromagnetic structure 115, and a transmitting coil 118. The detection device 13 may include a proximity switch, and the electromagnetic structure 115 may include an electromagnet. The storage component 2 may include a magnetically coupled structure 23 that cooperates with the electromagnetic structure 115, such as an embedded magnet. The storage component 2 may also include a receiving coil 27 that cooperates with the transmitting coil 118.
[0098] In this system, the electromagnet on the refrigeration component 1 can switch its magnetic poles by changing the positive and negative poles of its energized state, thus achieving attraction and repulsion with the embedded magnet, and consequently, the attraction and separation of the refrigeration component 1 and the storage component 2. When the two are attracted to each other, the corresponding transmitting coil 118 and receiving coil 27 are attracted to each other. The receiving coil 27 is connected to the cold end fan 28 of the storage component 2, thereby closing the power supply circuit of the cold end fan 28. For example, the transmitting coil 118 can be connected to a power source (it can be connected to the control board of the beauty refrigerator) and can generate a magnetic field inside. The receiving coil 27 is connected to the cold end fan 28. After receiving the magnetic field, the receiving coil 27 will generate an induced current, enabling the cold end fan 28 to operate.
[0099] In addition, in this embodiment, the upper side of the base portion 12 and the lower side of the storage component 2 are provided with mutually cooperating guide rails. For example, the upper side of the base portion 12 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting groove 121, and the lower side of the storage component 2 is provided with a strip-shaped limiting protrusion 24. The limiting groove 121 and the limiting protrusion 24 constitute the aforementioned guide rails.
[0100] The limiting groove 121 can be fitted with multiple rollers 122 arranged along its extension direction to facilitate the movement of the storage component 2 on the base portion 12 when it is lifted. The presence of the guide rail also restricts the installation position of the storage component 2 on the base portion 12, better ensuring that the first cooling component 111 (e.g., a cooling aluminum block) on the cooling section 11 is aligned with the pre-reserved mating groove 22 on the storage component 2, thus achieving a better fit between the cooling section 11 and the storage component 2.
[0101] In addition to a cooling component 112 (e.g., a thermoelectric cooler) and a heat-conducting aluminum block, the cooling section 11 may also include a hot-end fan 114 and a hot-end heat sink 113. The hot-end fan 114 blows air towards the hot-end heat sink 113 to dissipate the heat absorbed by the heat sink 113. The hot-end heat sink 113 and the heat-conducting aluminum block can be fastened together with bolts (other methods are also possible and not limited thereto), with the thermoelectric cooler sandwiched between them. That is, the hot-end heat sink 113 is in contact with the hot end of the thermoelectric cooler, the heat-conducting aluminum block is in contact with the cold end of the thermoelectric cooler, and the hot-end fan 114 blows air towards the hot-end heat sink 113 to dissipate the heat absorbed by the heat sink 113, thereby ensuring the cooling effect of the thermoelectric cooler.
[0102] The electromagnet is composed of an iron core wound with current-carrying wires, which are placed on the left and right sides of the cooling section 11 and evenly distributed around the semiconductor cooling chip. According to the principle of electromagnetic induction, the magnetic domains inside the iron core rearrange under the influence of a magnetic field, generating magnetic poles on both sides of the iron core. Based on this, the magnetic poles can be switched by changing the direction of the current. Typically, the two ends of the wires form a terminal connected to the main board port of the beauty refrigerator (the main board can be located inside the cooling component 1). The positive and negative poles of the electromagnet can be switched according to the control logic of the main board, thus achieving the switching of the electromagnet's polarity.
[0103] In this embodiment, when makeup is not required, the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2 can be combined and placed on a dressing table or in a corner of the room. When makeup is needed, the storage component 2 can be lifted out and temporarily placed on the dressing table. After makeup is finished, the storage component 2 is placed on the base part 12 and aligned with the guide rail part, at which point there is a certain distance between the cooling component 11 and the storage component 2. The user can simultaneously press the first button 14 on the cooling component 1, thereby generating a signal indicating that the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2 are assembled. When the controller of the beauty refrigerator receives the above signal, it can immediately control the roller 122 in the guide rail to rotate forward, slowly bringing the storage component 2 closer to the cooling component 11. When the proximity switch on the cooling component 11 detects that the distance L between the two is less than L1 (i.e., the first distance threshold), the electromagnet is energized and the positive and negative poles are energized, referring to... Figure 9 As shown, under the influence of electromagnetic induction, the front end of the electromagnet becomes the S pole, attracting the N pole of the magnet embedded in the storage component 2. This causes the storage component 2 to be tightly attracted to the cooling section 11. The cooling aluminum block is inserted into the matching groove 22 in the storage component 2 and is tightly attached to the second cooling component 21 (e.g., an aluminum plate) inside the storage component 2 to facilitate the transfer of cold energy. After the storage component 2 and the cooling section 11 are attached, the receiving coil 27 of the cold-end fan 28 and its corresponding transmitting coil 118 are attached to connect the circuit of the cold-end fan 28, thereby improving the cooling effect on the storage component 2.
[0104] When the sensor detects that the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2 are attracted together (for example, the sensor on the proximity switch detects that the distance between the storage component 2 and the first side of the cooling component 11 is zero), the control device can de-energize the drive mechanism, thereby stopping the roller 122 from rolling. At the same time, the hot-end fan 114, the thermoelectric cooling chip and the cold-end fan 28 can be energized in sequence to cool the compartment of the storage component 2. The temperature of the compartment is detected by the temperature sensor, so as to control the operation of the thermoelectric cooling chip, the hot-end fan 114 and the cold-end fan 28 based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor.
[0105] When a user needs to apply makeup, they can press the second button 15 on the cooling component 1 to generate a signal indicating that the storage component 2 is separating from the cooling component 1. Upon receiving this signal, the controller sequentially de-energizes the semiconductor cooling chip, the hot-end fan 114, and the cold-end fan 28, while simultaneously switching the positive and negative poles of the energized electromagnet. The magnetic domains within the iron core rearrange to reverse the polarity of the electromagnet. (Refer to...) Figure 10 As shown, the front end of the electromagnet is the N pole, which repels the N pole of the embedded magnet on the storage component 2. The attraction between the storage component 2 and the cooling part 11 disappears. At this time, the drive mechanism can be controlled to drive the roller 122 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the storage component 2 moves away from the cooling part 11. When the proximity switch detects that the distance L between the first side of the cooling part 11 and the storage component 2 is greater than L2 (the second distance threshold), the roller 122 is controlled to stop rotating, and the storage component 2 stops moving. At this time, the storage component 2 can be lifted directly by the handle 26 and placed on the dressing table for dressing purposes.
[0106] It should be noted that the electromagnet and embedded magnet in this embodiment are mainly used to tightly bond the cooling aluminum block to the aluminum plate of the storage component 2, so as to better transfer cold energy to cool the compartment of the storage component 2. In addition to the above-mentioned electromagnet and embedded magnet, other forms of magnetic attraction structures can also be used, such as electromagnetic chucks. The cooling component 1 of the beauty refrigerator is equipped with a chuck structure connected to the power supply, and a metal block is pre-embedded at the corresponding position of the storage component 2. When the electromagnetic chuck is energized, it generates a magnetic field to attract the metal block, thus achieving adsorption; when the electromagnetic chuck is de-energized, the magnetic field disappears, and separation is achieved. Alternatively, it can be used in conjunction with a guide rail structure, where the over-clamping of the guide rail rollers 122 tightly bonds the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2, and the locking of the rollers 122 prevents the storage component 2 from moving on its own.
[0107] The rollers 122 can function as a purely mechanical, non-electrically controlled structure, allowing the storage component 2 to slide more smoothly on the base 12. However, relying solely on magnetic attraction is limited by distance; too far and the attraction force is insufficient, while repulsion cannot move it too far. If the beauty refrigerator is placed in a relatively spacious area, it can be manually pushed and pulled using the mechanical rollers 122. However, considering its placement in relatively concealed locations such as under a dressing table, manual intervention is inconvenient. Therefore, a drive mechanism can be added, allowing the electric rollers 122 to automatically move forward and backward, which is more convenient and enhances the user experience.
[0108] In addition to using rollers 122 to improve the ease of movement of storage component 2, magnetic levitation or gears and racks can also be used to improve the smoothness of use and the sense of technology. The specific choice depends on the actual application and is not limited thereto.
[0109] In this embodiment, the integrated beauty refrigerator is designed as a separate unit, allowing the storage component 2 to be independently lifted and moved, making it convenient for users and saving desktop space. Furthermore, an electromagnet is added to the cooling component 1 of the beauty refrigerator, and the electromagnet's magnetic poles are changed by switching its positive and negative poles to achieve the attraction and separation of the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2, ensuring normal cooling of the cooling component 1 and allowing users to easily lift the storage component 2 independently. Additionally, the use of a limiting groove 121, a limiting protrusion 24, and a roller 122 within the limiting groove 121 ensures the smoothness and reliability of the attraction and separation process between the cooling component 1 and the storage component 2, further enhancing convenience. Moreover, an electromagnetic induction energizing device is added, with a transmitting coil 118 embedded in the cooling component 1 and a corresponding receiving coil 27 embedded in the storage component 2, connected to the cold-end fan 28. When the two are attracted together, the cold-end fan 28 is energized and closed to improve the cooling effect.
[0110] In this embodiment, the beauty refrigerator can be placed in the open space under the dressing table or in a corner of the room. When applying makeup, the storage component 2 can be taken out separately and temporarily placed on the dressing table. The internal refrigeration is maintained by the heat preservation of the storage component 2. After finishing makeup, the storage component 2 can be returned to its original position for refrigeration. This avoids the problem of excessive table space occupation caused by placing a large-volume beauty refrigerator on the dressing table for a long time. At the same time, it also reduces the weight of carrying the beauty refrigerator, making it convenient for users to access at any time and improving the user experience.
