[0002] Food refers to all kinds of finished products and raw materials intended for human consumption or drinking, as well as items that are traditionally both food and medicinal materials, but does not include items intended for therapeutic purposes. Foods are diverse and require different storage temperatures. The most common food storage device is the refrigerator, but some foods are not suitable for freezing or refrigeration, which necessitates alternative food storage devices.
[0003] Using food storage devices and refrigerators simultaneously consumes a lot of energy, and food contains moisture, which can easily evaporate during storage, leading to increased humidity in the storage box. Increased humidity can easily breed bacteria, causing food to mold and spoil. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve existing food storage devices and design a new type of food storage device to solve the above-mentioned technical defects and improve the overall practicality of food storage devices. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food storage device with a drying function. This food storage device can classify and store foods that require different temperatures, making them clear, easy to find, and energy-saving. At the same time, the internal heat is evenly distributed, the desiccant is easy to replace, and the overall safety of the food storage device is improved, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A food storage device with a drying function includes a main body. The interior of the main body has a refrigerator compartment, a freezer compartment, and a drying compartment arranged sequentially from high to low. The freezer compartment is rotatably connected to a second rotating door. The freezer compartment is slidably connected to a freezer drawer.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example:
[0022] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0023] A food storage device with a drying function includes a main body 1. Inside the main body 1, a refrigerator compartment 101, a freezer compartment 102, and a drying compartment 103 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A second rotating door 1021 is rotatably connected inside the freezer compartment 102, and a freezer drawer 1022 is slidably connected inside the freezer drawer 1022. A refrigerator cooling unit 3 is located inside the main body 1, at the end of the freezer drawer 1022 away from the second rotating door 1021. A heat-conducting plate 4 is located inside the main body 1, between the refrigerator cooling unit 3 and the drying compartment 103. A semiconductor cooling chip 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drying compartment 103. A third rotating door 1031 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second rotating door 1021, inside the drying compartment 103. A temperature and humidity measuring device 7 is fixedly connected inside the third rotating door 1031. When the semiconductor cooling chip 5 is working, heat transfer occurs between its two ends whenever current flows through it, creating a temperature difference between the two ends of the semiconductor cooling chip 5. When this food storage device with drying function is put into use, the refrigerator compartment 101, freezer compartment 102, and drying compartment 103 can classify and store foods that require different temperatures, making them clear, organized, and easy to find. The main body 1, refrigerator compartment 101, freezer compartment 102, and refrigerator refrigeration unit 3 are combined to form a refrigerator-like device. When the power is turned on, the refrigerator refrigeration unit 3 cools the refrigerator compartment 101 and freezer compartment 102. The refrigerator refrigeration unit 3 generates heat due to its operation, and the heat conduction plate 4 conducts the heat to the interior of the drying compartment 103, saving energy. The temperature and humidity measuring device 7 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the drying compartment 103 in real time. If the temperature is too high, the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 closest to the drying compartment 103 becomes the cooling end, and the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 furthest from the drying compartment 103 becomes the cooling end. If the temperature is too low, the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 closest to the drying compartment 103 becomes the heating end, and the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 furthest from the drying compartment 103 becomes the cooling end, so that the internal temperature is always maintained within the range suitable for food storage.
[0024] Furthermore, a fan 2 is provided on one side of the drying chamber 103, between the heat-conducting plate 4 and the third rotating door 1031. Multiple sets of equally spaced through holes 201 are provided on one side of the drying chamber 103, away from the fan 2. When the food storage device with drying function is put into use, the power is turned on, and the fan 2 blows the air and moisture in the drying chamber 103 out through the multiple sets of through holes 201, which can make the heat in the drying chamber 103 evenly distributed, preventing food near the heat source from being burned, and preventing moisture from accumulating in food away from the heat source, thus preventing spoilage.
[0025] The drying chamber 103 has two fixedly connected second clips 1032 on both sides of the interior and on top of the fan 2. The tops of the two sets of second clips 1032 are slidably connected through the drying box 6. The bottom of the drying box 6 has multiple sets of equally spaced ventilation holes 601. The drying box 6 contains a desiccant 602. When the food storage device with drying function is put into use, the desiccant 602 inside the drying box 6 absorbs the moisture in the drying chamber 103 through the ventilation holes 601, further protecting the food inside. The desiccant 602 can be replaced by pulling out the drying box 6, which is convenient to use.
[0026] Secondly, both sides of the interior of the refrigerator compartment 101 are fixedly connected with first retaining strips 1012. The tops of the two sets of first retaining strips 1012 are slidably connected through receiving plates 1013. The interior of the refrigerator compartment 101 and the bottom of the first retaining strips 1012 are slidably connected with refrigerator drawers 1014. The interior of the refrigerator compartment 101 and the end near the second rotating door 1021 are rotatably connected with a first rotating door 1011. The side of the first rotating door 1011 near the refrigerator compartment 101 has multiple sets of card slots 1015. Card boxes 1016 are slidably connected inside the card slots 1015. When the food storage device with drying function is put into use, the receiving plate 1013, refrigerator drawers 1014 and card boxes 1016 can be disassembled and installed for easy replacement and cleaning.
[0027] In this embodiment, the specific implementation scenario is as follows: In actual use, when the food storage device with drying function is put into use, the freezer drawer 1022, receiving tray 1013, refrigerator drawer 1014, and card box 1016 are installed, and then placed according to the appropriate temperature and shape / size of the food to be stored. They are detachable for easy replacement and cleaning. The refrigerator compartment 101, freezer compartment 102, and drying compartment 103 can classify and store foods requiring different temperatures, making them clear, organized, and easy to find. The main body 1, refrigerator compartment 101, freezer compartment 102, and refrigerator refrigeration unit 3 are combined to form a refrigerator-like device. When the power is turned on, the refrigerator refrigeration unit 3 cools the refrigerator compartment 101 and freezer compartment 102. The refrigerator refrigeration unit 3 generates heat during operation, and the heat-conducting plate 4 transfers the heat to the interior of the drying compartment 103, saving energy. The temperature and humidity measuring device 7 monitors the temperature and humidity inside the drying compartment 103 in real time. If the temperature is too high, the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 closest to the drying chamber 103 becomes the cooling end, and the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 furthest from the drying chamber 103 becomes the cooling end. If the temperature is too low, the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 closest to the drying chamber 103 becomes the heating end, and the end of the semiconductor cooling chip 5 furthest from the drying chamber 103 becomes the cooling end, so that the internal temperature is always kept within a suitable range for food storage. The fan 2 blows the air and moisture in the drying chamber 103 out through multiple sets of through holes 201, which can make the heat in the drying chamber 103 evenly distributed, preventing food near the heat source from being burned and food far from the heat source from accumulating moisture and spoiling. The desiccant 602 inside the drying box 6 absorbs the moisture in the drying chamber 103 through the vent holes 601, further protecting the food inside. The desiccant 602 can be replaced by pulling out the drying box 6, which is convenient to use. Compared with existing food storage devices, this utility model can improve the overall practicality of food storage devices through design.
