Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of refrigeration equipment technology, and in particular to a retail cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A retail kiosks are intelligent devices that can identify at least some item information using artificial intelligence technology, enabling automated sales services through human-computer interaction. As the name suggests, retail kiosks typically sell retail goods such as beverages and snacks. Existing retail kiosks generally use an internal cavity to hold the retail goods, with a compressor providing cooling to this cavity to facilitate the cooling of items requiring low-temperature preservation. However, this approach presents at least the following problems:

[0003] 1) Many products do not require low-temperature storage, which is equivalent to wasting cooling capacity and increasing power consumption. Moreover, the cooling capacity and power consumption of retail cabinets are much higher than those of ordinary household refrigerators. Therefore, this goes against our current trend of energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0004] 2) When customers open the retail cabinet door to select goods, not only are plastic-packaged goods easily scattered, but the scattered goods may also cause local air duct blockage, affecting the temperature inside the cavity and making it difficult for the beverages inside the cavity to reach the expected low temperature.

[0054] Furthermore, the reference to "embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0055] This utility model embodiment provides a retail cabinet 100, which includes, but is not limited to, refrigerated retail cabinets, refrigerated display cabinets, etc.

[0056] like Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the retail cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 1, a first shelf 2, a second shelf 3, and a refrigeration device 4. The interior of the cabinet body 1 forms a sealed and insulated storage cavity 11. For example, the retail cabinet 100 may also include a cabinet door (not shown). The cabinet body 1 may be a foam cabinet body. The cabinet door and the cabinet body 1 together form a thermally insulated storage cavity 11.

[0057] In an embodiment of this utility model, the storage cavity 11 is provided with at least two mounting positions (not shown), and the mounting positions are arranged with gaps along the height direction of the cabinet body 1. The first shelf 2 is an insulated shelf 2, wherein the insulated shelf 2 is detachably installed at one mounting position to separate the storage cavity 11 into a cooling zone 111 and a target zone 112. The insulated shelf 2 can be used to isolate heat conduction between the cooling zone 111 and the target zone 112, and the refrigeration device 4 can be used to provide the cooling capacity required for cooling the cooling zone 111. The second shelf 3 is detachably installed at the mounting position in the cooling zone 111 or the target zone 112 to divide the corresponding area into multiple compartments 113 for storing items.

[0058] Understandably, based on the shelf and air duct structure of the retail cabinet 100, in order to reduce the structural bulk of the existing retail cabinet 100, the cooling zone 111 and the target zone 112 are arranged vertically along the height of the cabinet body 1. The temperatures of the cooling zone 111 and the target zone 112 are different; for example, the temperature of the cooling zone 111 is lower than the temperature of the target zone 112. To achieve thermal insulation, the heat-insulating shelf 2 is a solid structure, rather than the mesh structure of the existing shelf.

[0059] For example, the target area 112 is a normal temperature area. Through the detachable installation of the heat insulation shelf 2 and the corresponding installation position in the storage cavity 11, when using the retail cabinet 100, the user can divide the storage cavity 11 of the retail cabinet 100 into a refrigeration area 111 and a normal temperature area with different temperatures according to the actual use needs. The upper refrigeration area 111 can be used to place beverages that need to be stored at low temperatures, and the lower normal temperature area can be used to place bagged retail goods or boxed instant noodles that do not need to be refrigerated. Moreover, by adjusting the installation position of the heat insulation shelf 2, the size of the refrigeration area 111 and the normal temperature area can be quickly adjusted.

[0060] For example, in a retail cabinet 100 with a storage chamber 11 and a capacity of 800ml, in summer, the user can use the entire cabinet to refrigerate beverages without the need for the insulated shelf 2. In winter, the user can detachably install an insulated shelf 2 at the corresponding installation position inside the storage chamber 11 to divide the storage chamber 11 into a 300ml refrigerated zone 111 and a 500ml room temperature zone. Beverages are stored at low temperatures in the refrigerated zone 111, and retail goods such as instant noodles that do not require refrigeration are stored in the room temperature zone. In this way, the refrigeration device 4 only needs to refrigerate the 300ml refrigerated zone 111, instead of refrigerating the entire 800ml storage chamber 11, which obviously helps to reduce power consumption.

[0061] For example, when the storage chamber 11 is divided equally by the heat insulation shelf 2, that is, when the space size of the cooling zone 111 and the normal temperature zone is the same, the power consumption can be reduced by 42% compared to the case of a single storage chamber 11.

[0062] Of course, the cooling zone 111 and the normal temperature zone can be adjusted by the user according to actual needs, and are not limited to this kind of space size adjustment.

[0063] Additionally, the second shelf 3 can be installed within the separated refrigeration zone 111 or ambient temperature zone for storing beverages, food, and other goods. This allows plastic-packaged goods to be placed directly in the ambient temperature zone. When the cabinet door is opened, the scattered goods in the ambient temperature zone will not block the airflow in the refrigeration zone 111, thus preventing any impact on the refrigeration temperature and ensuring that beverages in the refrigeration zone 111 reach the desired low temperature.

[0064] For example, specifically in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, the refrigeration unit 4 includes an evaporator 41 and a first fan 42 for accelerating airflow, both installed inside the storage chamber 11, and a compressor 43, a condenser 44, a second fan 45, a dryer filter 46, a water inlet pipe (not shown), an exhaust pipe (not shown), a throttling pipe 47, and a return gas pipe (not shown), all installed outside the storage chamber 11. The evaporator 41 has a water inlet (not shown), the compressor 43 has a water inlet box, the water inlet pipe connects the water inlet and the water inlet box, the two ends of the exhaust pipe connect the compressor 43 and the condenser 44 respectively, the two ends of the throttling pipe 47 connect the dryer filter 46 and the evaporator 41 respectively, and the two ends of the return gas pipe connect the evaporator 41 and the compressor 43 respectively. It should be noted that the compressor 43, exhaust pipe, condenser 44, and dryer filter 46 should be thermally insulated outside the storage chamber 11 to prevent dissipated heat from entering the storage chamber 11. The throttling pipe 47 and the return pipe need to pass through the storage chamber 11 and also need to be thermally insulated.

[0065] More specifically, the evaporator 41, the first fan 42, and the water collection tank are all located in the refrigeration zone 111. During refrigeration, the condensate from the evaporator 41 flows into the water collection tank and then through the water collection pipe to the water collection box of the compressor 43. The heat from the compressor 43 and the second fan 45 evaporate the condensate in the water collection box. The compressor 43 then draws in low-pressure condensate vapor and compresses it into high-pressure, high-temperature gaseous refrigerant. This gaseous refrigerant is then transported to the condenser 44 through the exhaust pipe. The gaseous refrigerant then condenses... The refrigerant in the evaporator 44 releases heat and is gradually cooled and condensed into a high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The moisture in the high-pressure liquid refrigerant is dried and impurities are filtered out by the dryer filter 46. The dried and filtered high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled and depressurized through the expansion tube 47 and delivered to the evaporator 41. The liquid refrigerant in the evaporator 41 absorbs heat and vaporizes in the refrigeration zone 111 to reduce the temperature in the refrigeration zone 111 of the storage chamber 11. The vaporized refrigerant can be drawn into the compressor 43 through the return pipe to form a cycle.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the cooling device 4 may also adopt other existing or innovative structures, which are not particularly limited here.

[0067] In summary, compared with existing technologies, this retail cabinet 100 has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0068] Without altering or with minimal alteration to the existing retail cabinet 100 structure, the retail cabinet 100, by setting the first shelf 2 as an insulated shelf 2, and by setting at least two mounting positions along the height direction of the cabinet body 1 within the storage cavity 11 of the cabinet body 1, detachably installs the insulated shelf 2 in one of the mounting positions, thereby separating the storage cavity 11 into a cooling zone 111 and a target zone 112 and isolating the heat conduction between the two areas. This allows users to freely decide whether to install the insulated shelf 2 according to actual needs, or to adjust the installation position of the insulated shelf 2 themselves, in order to quickly adjust the size of the cooling zone 111 and the target zone 112, such as the room temperature zone. This facilitates users to partition the storage cavity 11 or adjust the size of the cooling zone 111 in a timely manner when an excessively large cooling space is not required, which helps to reduce power consumption.

[0069] In addition, by installing the second shelf 3 in the cooling zone 111 or the normal temperature zone, especially when there is a normal temperature zone, plastic-packaged goods can be placed directly on the second shelf 3 in the normal temperature zone. This can prevent the scattered goods in the normal temperature zone from blocking the cooling zone 111 and affecting the cooling temperature of the cooling zone 111, thus ensuring that the items in the cooling zone 111 reach the expected low temperature.

[0070] Embodiment 1 of the retail cabinet 100 of this utility model

[0071] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0072] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, as Figure 1 As shown, the storage cavity 11 has an opening (not shown); the retail cabinet 100 also includes a cabinet door (not shown), wherein the cabinet door is connected to the cabinet body 1 to open or close the opening and together with the cabinet body 1 to form a sealed and insulated storage cavity 11.

[0073] For example, the cabinet body 1 is a vertical cabinet. At the position corresponding to the storage cavity 11, one side of the cabinet door (specifically the left side) is rotatably connected to one side of the cabinet body 1 (specifically the left side). The other side of the cabinet door can open or close the storage cavity 11 by rotating the cabinet door to the other side of the cabinet body 1.

[0074] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, as Figure 1 As shown, to enable the detachable installation of the heat insulation bracket and the second shelf 3, the retail cabinet 100 also includes a mounting bracket 5 and a first support 6. The mounting bracket 5 has multiple first mounting holes (not shown) spaced along the height direction of the cabinet body 1. Inside the storage cavity 11, the cabinet body 1 has at least one mounting bracket 5 on each of the two opposite non-open sides (specifically, the left and right sides). The first mounting holes of each mounting bracket 5 at the same height are configured together to form one of the aforementioned mounting positions. One end of the first support 6 is detachably inserted into the corresponding first mounting hole, and the other end of the first support 6 is connected to the heat insulation shelf 2 or the second shelf 3, so that multiple first support 6s can jointly support the heat insulation shelf 2 or the second shelf 3.

[0075] For example, two mounting brackets 5 are installed on the left and right sides of the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11. Four mounting brackets 5 together form a mounting position through first mounting holes at the same height. Thus, multiple mounting positions can be formed within the storage cavity 11 along the height of the cabinet body 1 using two pairs of mounting brackets 5. When a larger cooling zone 111 is needed, the entire storage cavity 11 can be used as the cooling zone 111. When it is necessary to separate target areas 112 such as a room temperature zone, four first support members 6 can be inserted into the corresponding first mounting holes at the corresponding heights to facilitate the installation of the heat-insulating shelf 2. Similarly, if it is necessary to further divide the cooling zone 111 or target area 112, or for convenient placement, another four first support members 6 can be inserted into the corresponding first mounting holes at appropriate heights to facilitate the installation of the second shelf 3.

[0076] Since the first support 6 and the first mounting hole are detachable and plug-in, the user can remove the heat insulation shelf 2 and the second shelf 3 from the storage cavity 11 according to actual needs and reinstall them in a suitable position so that the user can quickly adjust the size of the cooling zone 111 and the target zone 112.

[0077] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, as Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate quick assembly and disassembly of the insulation shelf 2 by users, the bottom of the insulation shelf 2 is provided with multiple second mounting holes 21. The second mounting holes 21 correspond one-to-one with the first support 6 connected to the insulation shelf 2, and the other end of each first support 6 is inserted into the corresponding second mounting hole 21.

[0078] For example, when the heat insulation shelf 2 is supported by the first support member 6, if the user needs to adjust the heat insulation shelf 2 downward because the beverage is too high, or if the user needs to adjust the heat insulation shelf 2 upward to save electricity because the beverage is too low, the user can first lift the heat insulation shelf 2 directly upward, so that the other end of each first support member 6 in the same installation position is disconnected from the second installation hole 21 corresponding to the heat insulation shelf 2. Then, the first support member 6 is removed from the mounting bracket 5, and one end of each first support member 6 is re-inserted into the first installation hole corresponding to the installation position at the appropriate height. Then, the other end of each first support member 6 is inserted into the second installation hole 21 corresponding to the heat insulation shelf 2 to install the heat insulation shelf 2 in the corresponding installation position, supported by the first support member 6. The whole operation does not require the use of screws, etc., which is very convenient for users to adjust quickly.

[0079] And / or, in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, when the heat insulation shelf 2 is installed in the storage cavity 11, the heat insulation shelf 2 is adapted to the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11 and is in close contact to ensure that the heat insulation shelf 2 can be moved upward to realize the height adjustment of the cooling zone 111, but cannot be moved in other directions to isolate the cold air of the cooling zone 111 from entering the target zone 112.

[0080] And / or, in Embodiment 1 of this utility model, in order to improve the strength of the heat insulation shelf 2, a strength reinforcing member (not shown) is provided in the storage area of ​​the heat insulation shelf 2 to reduce the probability of the heat insulation shelf 2 bending and deforming when weighed.

[0081] Specifically in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the heat insulation shelf 2 is provided with multiple second mounting holes 21, and its storage area is also provided with strength reinforcement (not shown). During installation, the heat insulation shelf 2 is adapted to the cavity wall of the storage cavity 11 at the corresponding location to achieve a tight fit between the two.

[0082] In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, as Figure 2As shown, in order to improve the heat insulation capacity of the heat insulation shelf 2 and reduce the wear of the cabinet door during the opening or closing process, a sealing anti-wear component 24 is provided at the end of the heat insulation shelf 2 near the opening. When the cabinet door is closed, the sealing anti-wear component 24 abuts against the cabinet door.

[0083] For example, the cabinet door is a glass door, and the sealing and anti-wear component 24 is a rubber sealing strip. The heat insulation shelf 2 is provided with this rubber sealing strip at the front end. When the glass door is closed, the sealing strip abuts against the glass door. Because the sealing strip is made of rubber material, it has a certain degree of flexibility. On the one hand, it can reduce the friction between the sealing strip and the glass door to prevent the glass door from being easily scratched. On the other hand, when the sealing strip abuts against the glass door, it can achieve a tight fit and seal with the glass door through the deformation of the sealing strip, thereby helping to reduce the leakage of cold air from the cooling zone 111 to the target zone 112 through the gap between the sealing strip and the glass door.

[0084] In one embodiment of this utility model, to prevent beverages or other items on the insulated shelf 2 from tipping over, the insulated shelf 2 is provided with a positioning structure (not shown) on the placement side. This positioning structure may include at least one of a positioning groove, a positioning protrusion, or a magnetic suction position. For example, a positioning groove can be directly provided on the side of the insulated shelf 2 facing the evaporator 41, allowing the user to directly place the beverage into the corresponding positioning groove. Of course, in other embodiments, the positioning structure may be other existing or newly created structures, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0085] In a first embodiment of this utility model, the heat insulation shelf 2 includes an upper cover plate (not shown), a lower cover plate (not shown), and a heat insulation component (not shown). The upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are stacked, and the heat insulation component is located between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate. Exemplarily, the heat insulation component may be disposed on the upper cover plate and / or the lower cover plate, or the heat insulation component may be disposed in the gap between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate.

[0086] Specifically, in the first embodiment, the heat insulation component is a thermal insulation layer, wherein the thermal insulation layer is located between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate, and is formed by foaming and hardening of thermal insulation material.

[0087] Alternatively, in a second embodiment, the insulation element is foam, which is disposed between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate.

[0088] Alternatively, in a third embodiment, the insulation shelf 2 further includes an electric damper and a temperature sensor disposed on the lower cover plate. The electric damper is used in conjunction with the temperature sensor to regulate the temperature of the target area 112. For example, by cooperating with the electric damper and the temperature sensor, the target area 112 below the cooling area 111 can be configured as a refrigeration area, a soft-freezing area, a room temperature area, or a heating area, depending on the user's actual needs.

[0089] It should be noted that, in order to ensure the significance of separating the cooling zone 111 and to save energy, the temperature of the target zone 112 below the cooling zone 111 usually needs to be higher than or equal to the temperature inside the cooling zone 111.

[0090] Embodiment 2 of the retail cabinet 100 of this utility model

[0091] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the main technical features of this second embodiment are largely the same as those of the first embodiment. The main difference between the two embodiments is that the detachable installation structure of the heat insulation shelf 2 and the second shelf 3 is different.

[0092] In the second embodiment of this utility model, as Figure 3 As shown, to enable the detachable installation of the heat insulation shelf 2, multiple strip-shaped grooves 114 are recessed in the cavity wall of the storage chamber 11 on the two non-open sides opposite to the cabinet body 1; the multiple grooves 114 on the same side are arranged with gaps along the height direction of the cabinet body 1. Two grooves 114 at the same height are arranged opposite each other and are configured together as a mounting position (not shown in the figure).

[0093] At the corresponding positions of the same installation location, the opposite sides of the heat insulation shelf 2 are slidably inserted into the corresponding two slide grooves 114, so that after the heat insulation shelf 2 is inserted into the storage cavity 11 from the open side, it is supported by the corresponding two slide grooves 114.

[0094] And / or, at another position corresponding to the same installation position, the two opposite sides of the second shelf 3 are respectively slidably inserted into the two corresponding slide grooves 114, so that after the second shelf 3 is inserted into the refrigeration zone 111 or the target zone 112 from the open side, it is supported by the two corresponding slide grooves 114.

[0095] Understandably, each slide 114 can be directly installed in the inner cavity of the cabinet body 1, and each slide 114 extends along the front and rear depth direction of the storage cavity 11, with the same installation position being configured by two slides 114.

[0096] For example, the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 (i.e., the wall of the storage cavity 11) can be formed by vacuum forming, and as... Figure 3As shown, the inner wall of the cabinet body 1 is recessed with multiple sliding grooves 114. Each sliding groove 114 extends from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 1 to form a strip-shaped sliding groove 114, and all sliding grooves 114 on the same side of the cabinet body 1 are arranged with gaps along the height direction of the cabinet body 1. When installing the heat insulation shelf 2, the heat insulation shelf 2 can be directly inserted into the corresponding two opposite sliding grooves 114 from the open side of the cabinet body 1, and the heat insulation shelf 2 can be pushed further towards the rear of the cabinet body 1 so that the heat insulation shelf 2 is located entirely within the storage cavity 11 and abuts against the rear wall of the storage cavity 11. Conversely, the heat insulation shelf 2 can be pulled out from the open side of the cabinet body 1 from back to front. In short, disassembly and assembly are very convenient, allowing users to quickly adjust the size and height of the cooling zone 111. Specifically, in this second embodiment, both the heat insulation shelf 2 and the second shelf 3 can use the sliding groove 114 structure to achieve quick disassembly and assembly.

[0097] In the second embodiment of this utility model, to achieve stable and positioned installation of the heat insulation shelf 2, each slide groove 114 is provided with a first positioning hole (not shown) and a second positioning hole (not shown). The first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are arranged sequentially facing away from the open side, and the size of the second positioning hole is larger than the size of the first positioning hole. Correspondingly, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the heat insulation shelf 2 has a first positioning member 22 and a second positioning member 23 protruding on the side facing away from the cooling zone 111. The first positioning member 22 is adapted to the corresponding first positioning hole, and the second positioning member 23 is adapted to the corresponding second positioning hole.

[0098] When the heat insulation shelf 2 slides into the storage cavity 11 along its insertion direction (specifically, from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 1), the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 on the heat insulation shelf 2 respectively engage with the corresponding first positioning hole and second positioning hole to ensure that the heat insulation shelf 2 is installed in place and cannot be moved after installation to ensure stable installation. If the height of the cooling zone 111 needs to be adjusted, the heat insulation shelf 2 can be lifted upwards and pulled out to be reinstalled in a suitable position.

[0099] For example, the first positioning hole is located near the front side of the cabinet body 1, and the second positioning hole is located near the rear side of the cabinet body 1. Correspondingly, as... Figure 4As shown, the bottom of the heat insulation shelf 2 is provided with a first positioning member 22 and a second positioning member 23, and the first positioning member 22 is smaller than the second positioning member 23. When installing the heat insulation shelf 2, the left and right sides of the heat insulation shelf 2 can be pushed into the corresponding slide grooves 114 simultaneously from the front to the rear of the cabinet body 1. Since the second positioning member 23 is larger than the first positioning hole corresponding to the first positioning member 22, the second positioning member 23 can pass through the first positioning hole without obstruction until the second positioning member 23 reaches the position of the corresponding second positioning hole. At the same time, the first positioning member 22 also reaches the position of the corresponding first positioning hole. Under the gravity of the heat insulation shelf 2, the heat insulation shelf 2 will sink as a whole, so that the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning hole are in concave-convex fit. The heat insulation shelf 2 and the slide groove 114 are completely and tightly fitted together, and the rear cavity wall of the storage cavity 11 is also tightly fitted together.

[0100] If the heat insulation shelf 2 needs to be removed, manually push the heat insulation shelf 2 upward so that the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23 disengage from the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole respectively. Then the heat insulation shelf 2 can be pulled out from the back side to the front side of the cabinet body 1.

[0101] It should be noted that the bottom of the second shelf 3 may also be provided with a first positioning element 22 and a second positioning element 23. The specific disassembly and assembly method is the same as that of the heat insulation shelf 2, and will not be described in detail here.

[0102] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
