Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electrical technology, specifically relating to a refrigeration device. Background Technology
[0002] A refrigerator is a refrigeration device that maintains a constant low temperature. It is also a consumer product that keeps food or other items at a constant low temperature, thus improving their quality of life. In modern family life, the refrigerator is an important household appliance for storing food and keeping ingredients fresh. Its performance and functional diversity directly affect the user's daily life quality and user experience.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, when the refrigerator's cold compartment has two compartments, it is impossible to adjust the two compartments to different temperatures, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a refrigeration device that aims to at least partially solve the technical problem of not being able to adjust the two compartments to different temperatures when the refrigerator's cold compartment has two compartments, thus affecting the user experience.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A refrigeration device, characterized in that it includes:
[0007] The container has a refrigerated compartment;
[0008] An air duct module includes a partition, a first air duct, a second air duct, a first air damper, and a second air damper. The partition is disposed in the cold storage compartment to divide the cold storage compartment into a first compartment and a second compartment. The first air duct is disposed within the partition and has a first air outlet and a first air inlet located below the first air outlet. The second air duct is disposed within the partition and has a second air outlet and a second air inlet located below the second air outlet. The first air damper is disposed at the first air inlet and is used to adjust the airflow through the first air inlet. The second air damper is disposed at the second air inlet and is used to adjust the airflow through the second air inlet.
[0009] The first air outlet is connected to the first room, and the second air outlet is connected to the second room.
[0010] In some implementations, the first damper is located below the first air duct, and the second damper is located below the second air duct.
[0011] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the separator, the projection of the first air duct at least partially falls on the first air damper, and the projection of the second air duct at least partially falls on the second air damper.
[0012] In some implementations, the first air duct and the second air duct are arranged side by side and spaced apart within the separator.
[0013] In some embodiments, the refrigeration device further includes: a connecting member located below and connected to the partition member, the connecting member having a first air inlet communicating with the first air inlet and a second air inlet communicating with the second air inlet; wherein, the first damper is disposed at the first air inlet for adjusting the opening of the first air inlet, and the second damper is disposed at the second air inlet for adjusting the opening of the second air inlet.
[0014] In some implementations, the duct module further includes a drive assembly disposed within the connecting member and connected to the first damper and the second damper.
[0015] In some embodiments, one of the connecting member and the separating member has a protrusion and the other has a groove, with the protrusion embedded in the groove.
[0016] In some embodiments, the partition plate includes: a body having a first air duct and a second air duct inside; a first cover plate and a second cover plate, both detachably connected to the body and located on different sides of the body respectively; wherein the first cover plate has a first through hole communicating with the first air outlet; and the second cover plate has a second through hole communicating with the second air outlet.
[0017] In some implementations, the refrigeration equipment further includes an odor removal module, and the air duct module further includes an odor removal air duct disposed on the partition and a first return air inlet and a second return air inlet connected to the return air duct. The first return air inlet is connected to the first compartment, and the second return air inlet is connected to the second compartment. The odor removal module is installed in the odor removal air duct, wherein the odor removal air duct is connected to the first return air inlet and the second return air inlet.
[0018] In some embodiments, the refrigeration equipment further includes a door disposed at the opening of the housing, the door having a thickness of 25mm to 40mm, and the total thickness of the housing and the door having a thickness of 450mm to 600mm.
[0019] According to one or more embodiments of the present application, the first air duct and the second air duct are both located inside the partition. By carrying and accommodating the first air duct and the second air duct through the partition, the space inside the partition can be effectively utilized, the space occupied by the air ducts on the external space can be reduced, and the overall structure can be made more compact.
[0020] The first air duct has a first air outlet and a first air inlet. During cooling, cold air can be discharged sequentially through the first air inlet, the first air duct, and the first air outlet. The second air duct has a second air outlet and a second air inlet. During cooling, cold air can be discharged sequentially through the second air inlet, the second air duct, and the second air outlet.
[0021] The first air inlet is located above the first air outlet, and the second air inlet is located above the second air outlet. This means the first air outlet is higher than the first air inlet, and the second air outlet is higher than the second air inlet, achieving a "bottom-in, top-out" cooling effect. Because cold air is denser than hot air, the cold air naturally sinks after being discharged from the first and / or second air outlets. During this descent, the cold air effectively cools items within the space connected to the first and / or second air outlets, creating a uniform temperature distribution throughout the space. This reduces temperature stratification, allowing food and items within the cavity to be cooled evenly, improving cooling efficiency. The uniform temperature distribution also helps extend the shelf life of food, reducing the risk of food spoilage due to temperature fluctuations and enhancing the user experience.
[0022] The first damper is located at the first air inlet and is used to adjust the air volume entering the first air inlet. The second damper is located at the second air inlet and is used to adjust the air volume entering the second air inlet. By setting the first damper and the second damper, the air volume entering the first air inlet and the second air inlet can be adjusted independently, so that the air volume entering different chambers through the first air outlet and the second air outlet is different. The air volume of different chambers can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and the temperature of each chamber can be independently adjusted, which improves the user experience and satisfaction.
[0023] By adjusting the opening of the first and second dampers, the air volume entering the first and second air inlets can be precisely controlled, enabling precise distribution of the air volume and thus precise adjustment of the temperature in each chamber, ensuring that the temperature of each chamber meets the requirements and improving overall efficiency.
[0024] The first air outlet and the second air outlet are located on different sides opposite to each other on the partition, that is, the first air outlet and the second air outlet have different orientations so that the first air outlet and the second air outlet can supply air to different chambers respectively.

[0055] When a refrigerator's refrigeration compartment is divided into two or more independent compartments, the original design was intended to better categorize and store different types of food, such as vegetables, fruits, and dairy products, in order to manage and maintain the food in its best freshness.
[0056] In related technologies, the control systems of dual-compartment refrigerators do not support independent temperature adjustment for each compartment. These refrigerators typically set the entire refrigerator compartment to a uniform temperature, preventing users from setting the optimal temperature environment for food in different compartments according to their actual needs. This design limitation not only restricts the preservation effect of food but may also lead to food spoilage due to unsuitable temperatures, resulting in food waste. Furthermore, it fails to meet users' needs for flexibility and personalization in refrigerator use. In addition, for users with special dietary needs or health concerns (such as diabetic patients who need to strictly control food storage temperatures to maintain sugar stability), refrigerators that cannot independently adjust the temperature of the refrigerator compartments cannot meet their specific storage requirements, further impacting user experience and satisfaction.
[0057] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a refrigeration device, which aims to at least partially solve the technical problem that when the refrigerator's cold compartment has two compartments, it is impossible to adjust the two compartments to different temperatures, thus affecting the user experience.
[0058] The design concept of this application is: by adjusting the air volume of the first air inlet through the first damper and adjusting the air volume of the second air inlet through the second damper, the air volume delivered to the two chambers by the first and second air ducts is controlled, so as to achieve independent temperature regulation of the two chambers.
[0059] Based on the above design concept, this application provides a refrigeration device. Combined with... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The refrigeration equipment includes a housing 80 and an air duct module. The air duct module includes a partition 10, a first air duct 20, a second air duct 30, a first air damper 40, and a second air damper 50. The partition 10 is disposed within the refrigeration compartment to divide it into a first compartment 81 and a second compartment 82. The first air duct 20 is located within the partition 10 and has a first air outlet 21 and a first air inlet 22 located below the first air outlet 21. The second air duct 30 is located within the partition 10 and has a second air outlet 31 and a second air inlet 32 located below the second air outlet 31. The first air damper 40 is located at the first air inlet 22 and is used to adjust the airflow through the first air inlet 22. The second air damper 50 is located at the second air inlet 32 and is used to adjust the airflow through the second air inlet 32. The first air outlet 21 communicates with the first compartment 81, and the second air outlet 22 communicates with the second compartment 82.
[0060] Refrigeration equipment can include refrigerators and freezers. (Combined) Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, in order to enable the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 to deliver cold air to different chambers, the partition 10 of the air duct module is provided inside the housing 80 to form a first chamber 81 and a second chamber 82. The first air outlet 21 is connected to the first chamber 81, and the second air outlet 31 is connected to the second chamber 82. The first air outlet 21 can deliver the cold air in the first air duct 20 to the first chamber 81, and the second air outlet 31 can deliver the cold air in the second air duct 30 to the second chamber.
[0061] In some embodiments, the partition 10 is located vertically inside the refrigerator compartment along the width of the cabinet 80 to divide the refrigerator compartment into a first compartment 81 and a second compartment 82. The first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 31 can be located on opposite sides of the partition 10, ensuring that the cold air can be evenly distributed to each corner of the first compartment 81 and the second compartment 82, so that the storage space of the refrigerator compartment is maximized and users can store and retrieve food more conveniently.
[0062] The first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 are both located inside the partition 10. By having the partition 10 support and accommodate the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, the space inside the partition 10 can be effectively utilized, reducing the space occupied by the air ducts and making the overall structure more compact.
[0063] The first air duct 20 has a first air outlet 21 and a first air inlet 22. During cooling, cold air can be discharged sequentially through the first air inlet 22, the first air duct 20, and the first air outlet 21. The second air duct 30 has a second air outlet 31 and a second air inlet 32. During cooling, cold air can be discharged sequentially through the second air inlet 32, the second air duct 30, and the second air outlet 31.
[0064] The first air inlet 22 is located above the first air outlet 21, and the second air inlet 32 is located above the second air outlet 31. That is to say, the height of the first air outlet 21 is higher than the first air inlet 22, and the height of the second air outlet 31 is higher than the second air inlet 32, realizing the "bottom inlet and top outlet" of cold air. Since the density of cold air is greater than that of hot air, after the cold air is discharged from the first air outlet 21 and / or the second air outlet 31, the cold air will naturally sink. During the falling process of the cold air, the items in the space connected to the first air outlet 21 and / or the second air outlet 31 can be fully cooled, forming a uniform temperature distribution in the entire space, reducing temperature stratification, and allowing the food or items in the cavity to be cooled evenly, improving the cooling efficiency. The uniform temperature distribution helps to extend the shelf life of food, reduce the risk of food spoilage caused by temperature fluctuations, and improve the user experience.
[0065] The first damper 40 is located at the first air inlet 22 and is used to adjust the air volume of the first air inlet 22. The second damper 50 is located at the second air inlet 32 and is used to adjust the air volume of the second air inlet 32. By setting the first damper 40 and the second damper 50, the air volume of the first air inlet 22 and the second air inlet 32 can be adjusted independently, so that the air volume entering different chambers through the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 31 is different. The air volume of different chambers can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and the temperature of each chamber can be independently adjusted, which improves the user experience and satisfaction.
[0066] By adjusting the opening of the first damper 40 and the second damper 50, the air volume entering the first air inlet 22 and the second air inlet 32 can be precisely controlled respectively. This allows for precise distribution of the air volume and, consequently, precise adjustment of the temperature in each chamber, ensuring that the temperature of each chamber meets the requirements and improving overall efficiency.
[0067] The first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 31 are located on different sides opposite to each other of the partition 10. That is, the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 31 have different orientations so that the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 31 can supply air to different chambers respectively.
[0068] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, the first air outlet 21 of the first air duct 20 and the second air outlet 31 of the second air duct 30 can be located on opposite sides of the separator 10.
[0069] In some embodiments, the first air duct 20 includes a first sub-air duct 23, a second sub-air duct 24, and a third sub-air duct 25. The first sub-air duct 23 is connected to the first air outlet 21, and the third sub-air duct 25 is connected to the first air inlet 22. Along the height direction of the separator 10, the first sub-air duct 23, the second sub-air duct 24, and the third sub-air duct 25 are connected sequentially from top to bottom.
[0070] From the first air inlet 22 to the first air outlet 21, the second sub-air duct 24 gradually widens. As the cold air from the third sub-air duct 25 enters the first sub-air duct 23 through the second sub-air duct 24, it slows down the flow rate of the cold air, allowing the cold air to be delivered out of the first air outlet 21 at a uniform speed. This ensures a uniform and stable cooling effect on the chamber and also reduces airflow vibration and noise.
[0071] Furthermore, the width of the third sub-duct 25 is smaller than the width of the first sub-duct 23. When the cold air enters the first sub-duct 23 from the second sub-duct 24, the first sub-duct 23 can slow down the airflow speed, further ensuring that the cold air can be delivered out of the first air outlet 21 at a uniform speed.
[0072] In some embodiments, the structure of the second air duct 30 is consistent with the structure of the first air duct 20.
[0073] In some embodiments, in order to improve space utilization, the first air door 40 is located below the first air duct 20 and the second air door 50 is located below the second air duct 30, so that the first air door 40 does not occupy the space on both sides and the top of the first air duct 20, and the second air door 50 does not occupy the space on both sides and the top of the second air duct 30, so as to avoid the first air door 40 and the second air door 40 encroaching on the space of the chamber, making the structure compact.
[0074] Since the first air door 40 is located below the first air duct 20 and the second air door 50 is located below the second air duct 30, the first air door 40 will not interfere with the direction and layout of the first air duct 20 and the second air door 50 will not interfere with the direction and layout of the second air duct 30. This allows for more flexible planning of the direction and layout of the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, facilitating their arrangement.
[0075] Combination Figure 6 In some embodiments, along the height direction of the partition 10, the projection of the first air duct 20 at least partially falls on the first air damper 40, and the projection of the second air duct 30 at least partially falls on the second air damper 50, so that the first air damper 40 and the first air duct 20 are closely integrated in the vertical direction, and the second air damper 50 and the second air duct 30 are closely integrated in the vertical direction, reducing unnecessary space waste, achieving a compact spatial layout, and improving space utilization.
[0076] Since the projection of the first air duct 20 at least partially falls on the first air damper 40 and the projection of the second air duct 30 at least partially falls on the second air damper 50 along the height direction of the separator 10, when the cold air enters the first air duct 20 through the first air damper 40 and the first air duct 30 through the second air damper 50, the obstruction that the cold air may encounter when entering the first air duct 20 through the first air damper 40 and the second air damper 50 through the second air damper 50 is reduced, ensuring that the cold air can smoothly enter the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the cold air.
[0077] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, in order to improve space utilization, the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 are arranged side by side in the partition 10, which can reduce the area occupied by the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 in the partition 10. Other components (such as ion sterilization modules) can be arranged in the partition 10, so that the space in the partition 10 is fully utilized, and the integration of the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 is realized, which facilitates a compact structure.
[0078] Since the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 are arranged alternately within the partition 10, the cold air flowing in the first air duct 20 and the cold air flowing in the second air duct 30 do not interfere with each other, ensuring smooth flow of cold air and accurate air volume entering different chambers from the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 23 respectively.
[0079] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7In some embodiments, to facilitate the entry of cold air into the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, the refrigeration equipment further includes a connecting member 60. The connecting member 60 is located below and connected to the partition 10, supporting the partition 10 to ensure the stability of its installation. The connecting member 60 has a first air outlet 61 communicating with the first air inlet 22 and a second air outlet 62 communicating with the second air inlet 32.
[0080] The connecting member 60 is connected to the first air inlet 22 through its first air outlet 61, ensuring that cold air can smoothly enter the first air duct 20. The second air outlet 62 of the connecting member 60 is connected to the second air inlet 32, so that cold air can also smoothly enter the second air duct 30.
[0081] The connecting member 60 has a third air outlet 63, which is connected to the fan assembly 90 of the refrigeration equipment. The fan assembly 90 delivers cold air into the connecting member 60 through the third air outlet 63, and then delivers it to the first air duct 20 through the first air outlet 61 and the first air inlet 22. It also delivers the air to the second air duct 30 through the second air outlet 62 and the second air inlet 32. In other words, the connecting member 60 can deliver the air from one fan assembly 90 to the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 without requiring two fan assemblies 90 to be connected to the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 respectively, thus reducing the number of fan assemblies 90 and lowering the cost.
[0082] Furthermore, the first damper 40 is located at the first air inlet 61 and is used to adjust the opening of the first air inlet 61, thereby controlling the airflow of the cold air in the connecting member 60 into the first air inlet 22 through the first air inlet 61.
[0083] The second damper 50 is located at the second air inlet 62 and is used to adjust the opening of the second air inlet 62, thereby controlling the air volume of the cold air in the connecting member 60 entering the second air inlet 32 through the second air inlet 62.
[0084] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some embodiments, in order to enable the first damper 40 to adjust the airflow of the first air inlet 22 and the second damper 50 to adjust the airflow of the second air inlet 32, the duct module further includes a drive assembly 70. The drive assembly 70 is disposed within the connecting member 60 and connected to the first damper 40 and the second damper 50. The drive assembly 70 drives the first damper 40 and the second damper 50 to operate, thereby adjusting the airflow of the first air inlet 22 and the second air inlet 32, respectively.
[0085] Specifically, the drive assembly 70 can consist of two drivers, which can drive the first damper 40 and the second damper 50 to operate respectively.
[0086] Of course, the drive assembly 70 can be a transmission assembly and a driver. The transmission assembly 70 is connected to the first damper 40 and the second damper 50. Power can be transmitted through the transmission assembly 70 to drive the first damper 40 and the second damper 50 to move via a single driver. For example, the structure of the drive assembly 70 can adopt the structure of the damper device of CN114935235A.
[0087] Combination Figure 9 In some embodiments, to avoid air leakage, one of the connecting member 60 and the partition member 10 is provided with a protrusion 64, and the other is provided with a groove 11, with the protrusion 64 embedded in the groove 11.
[0088] When the protrusion 64 is embedded in the groove 11, a certain compressive force is generated on the contact surface between the protrusion 64 and the groove 11. This compressive force fills the tiny gap between the contact surfaces, forming an effective sealing interface. This achieves the sealing at the joint between the connecting member 60 and the partition member 10, preventing air leakage and ensuring that the cold air can flow along the predetermined path, thus improving the cooling efficiency.
[0089] In some embodiments, the connecting member 60 has a protrusion 64 and the partition 10 has a groove 11. Of course, in other embodiments, the partition 10 has a protrusion 64 and the connecting member 60 has a groove 11.
[0090] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the cold air in the connecting member 60 can smoothly enter the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, the area of the first air outlet 61 is the same as the area of the second air inlet 32, and the area of the second air outlet 62 is the same as the area of the second air inlet 32.
[0091] The area of the first air inlet 61 is the same as the area of the second air inlet 32. This consistency ensures that when cold air enters the second air inlet 32 through the first air inlet 61, it will not encounter sudden changes in cross-section or obstacles. It does not require changing the flow direction or speed of the cold air, thereby reducing energy loss and lowering the flow resistance of the cold air when it enters the second air inlet 32 through the first air inlet 61. This ensures the smooth flow of cold air and the stability of the temperature in different chambers.
[0092] According to Bernoulli's equation, there is a certain relationship between the velocity, pressure, and height of a fluid during flow. When fluid flows through a pipe or duct, if the shape of the pipe changes (e.g., from a straight pipe to an arc pipe), the fluid's velocity and pressure will also change accordingly. Figure 2In some embodiments, the first arc-shaped section 26 connecting the first air duct 20 and the first air inlet 22 provides a certain resistance to the flow of cold air due to the arc-shaped guidance of the first arc-shaped section 26. This slows down the flow speed of the cold air, allowing it to enter the first air duct 20 at a uniform speed, ensuring a uniform and stable cooling effect on the chamber. It also helps to reduce airflow vibration and noise.
[0093] The second air duct 30 has a second arc-shaped section 33 that communicates with the second air inlet 32. The second arc-shaped section 33 of the second air duct 30 is connected to the first air inlet 22. Due to the arc-shaped guidance of the second arc-shaped section 33, the cold air will encounter a certain resistance during its flow in the second arc-shaped section 33, thereby slowing down the flow speed of the cold air and enabling the cold air to enter the second air duct 30 at a uniform speed. This ensures a uniform and stable cooling effect on the chamber and also has the function of reducing airflow vibration and noise.
[0094] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, to enable the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 to deliver cold air to different chambers, the partition plate 10 includes: a body 12, a first cover plate 13, and a second cover plate 14. The body 12 houses the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, and the body 12 accommodates and supports the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30. The first cover plate 13 and the second cover plate 14 are detachably connected to the body 12 and are located on different sides of the body 12, respectively, to seal the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30, preventing air leakage and ensuring the airflow entering the chamber. The first cover plate 13 has a first through hole 15 communicating with the first air outlet 21. The second cover plate 14 has a second through hole 16 communicating with the second air outlet 31.
[0095] In some embodiments, the cold air in the first air duct 20 can be discharged sequentially through the first air outlet 21 and the first through hole 15, and the cold air in the second air duct 30 can be discharged sequentially through the second air outlet 31 and the second through hole 16, so that the first air duct 20 and the second air duct 30 can deliver cold air to different chambers.
[0096] Combination Figures 2-4 In some embodiments, the refrigeration equipment further includes an odor removal module 100, and the air duct module further includes an odor removal air duct 110 disposed on the partition and a first return air inlet 111 and a second return air inlet 112 connected to the return air duct. The first return air inlet 111 is connected to the first compartment 81, and the second return air inlet 112 is connected to the second compartment 82. The odor removal module 100 is installed in the odor removal air duct 110, wherein the odor removal air duct 110 is connected to the first return air inlet 111 and the second return air inlet 112.
[0097] If strong-smelling foods, such as dried pickled vegetables or hot pot base, are stored in the refrigeration equipment, the odor will spread to other items, resulting in a poor user experience. Therefore, an odor removal module 100 is required to remove odors. The odor removal module 100 is installed in the odor removal duct 110. That is, the gas with odor enters the odor removal duct 110 and is removed by the odor removal module 100. The clean gas then enters the first chamber 81 and the second chamber 82 through the odor removal duct 110.
[0098] The return air duct is installed inside the box. The gas in the first chamber 81 and the second chamber 82 can enter the return air duct through the first return air inlet 111 and the second return air inlet 112, respectively. The return air duct is connected to the fan assembly. Under the action of the fan assembly, the gas entering the return air duct is cooled and then enters the first air duct and the second air duct, respectively, to achieve gas circulation.
[0099] Since the odor-removing air duct 110 is connected to the first return air inlet 111 and the second return air inlet 112, the gas in the first chamber 81 and the second chamber 82 can also enter the odor-removing air duct 110 through the first return air inlet 111 and the second return air inlet 112. After being purified by the odor-removing module 100, the clean gas is then blown out through the odor-removing air duct 110. In other words, the first return air inlet 111 and the second return air inlet 112 are used for both return air to achieve gas circulation and odor-removing inlet, thus eliminating the need for a separate odor-removing air inlet and simplifying the duct module structure. The first air duct, the second air duct, and the odor-removing air duct 110 can be arranged sequentially and at intervals along the depth direction of the enclosure, making full use of the space within the partition and achieving integration of the first air duct, the second air duct, and the odor-removing air duct 110, which facilitates a compact structure.
[0100] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, a first return air vent 65 and a second return air vent 66 may be provided on the connecting member. The first return air vent 65 is connected to the first return air inlet 111, and the second return air vent 66 is connected to the second return air inlet 112. The gas in the first chamber 81 can directly enter the odor-removing air duct 110 for odor removal through the first return air inlet 111, and can sequentially enter the return air duct through the first return air inlet 111 and the first return air vent 65. The same applies to the gas in the second chamber 82. Of course, the gas in the first chamber 81 can also directly enter the return air duct through the first return air vent 65, and there is no restriction on this.
[0101] In some embodiments, the refrigeration equipment also includes a door disposed at the opening of the housing 80, the door having a thickness of 25mm to 40mm, and the total thickness of the housing and the door having a thickness of 450mm to 600mm.
[0102] Because the door thickness is limited to 25mm to 40mm, it is relatively thin, making it easier for users to open and close the door. Because the total thickness of the cabinet and door is limited to 450mm to 600mm, the overall thickness of the refrigeration equipment is relatively thin, which reduces the area occupied by the refrigeration equipment and makes it easier to move.
[0103] Specifically, the thickness of the door can be 26mm, 30mm, 32mm, 36mm, or 38mm, and the total thickness of the box 80 and the door can be 480mm, 520mm, 540mm, 560mm, or 580mm.
