[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] likeFigures 1 to 6 As shown, a semiconductor refrigerator insulation device includes a semiconductor refrigerator shell 1, an insulation layer 2, and a condenser pipe 3;
[0035] The semiconductor refrigerator casing 1 is divided into an inner shell 11 and an outer shell 12. The inner shell 11 is used for food placement, with food placed on shelves provided on the inner shell 11 to achieve food preservation and refrigeration. The outer shell 12 is a protective casing used to protect internal electronic components. An insulation cavity 13 is formed between the inner shell 11 and the outer shell 12. An insulation layer 2 is installed inside the insulation cavity 13 and is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inner shell 11. The insulation layer 2 is used to maintain the temperature within the space of the inner shell 11, thereby ensuring the preservation and refrigeration temperature of the semiconductor refrigerator, maintaining it at the temperature required by the user, and ensuring the preservation and refrigeration effect of food. To improve the uniformity of temperature distribution and ensure even distribution of preservation and refrigeration temperatures, the insulation layer 2 is equipped with condenser tubes 3, which are arranged in a serpentine pattern within the insulation cavity 13. The condenser tubes 3 are used for heat exchange in the semiconductor refrigerator. The condenser tubes 3 exchange heat with the temperature inside the insulation cavity 13 through the refrigerant flowing inside the tubes, preventing the temperature inside the insulation cavity 13 from rising and affecting the operation of internal electronic components. At the same time, it also affects the cooling effect of the semiconductor refrigerator, causing the cooling temperature to fail to reach the set temperature. The condenser tubes 3 are arranged on five end faces on the outer wall of the inner shell 11 to achieve heat exchange and cooling, ensuring the uniformity of temperature inside the insulation cavity 13 and limiting the temperature in the insulation cavity 13 by degrees Celsius.
[0036] The electrode plate 21 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the inner shell 11. The electrode plate 21 is connected to an external power source, thereby filling its interior with current. A heat-insulating substrate 22 is fixedly installed on the electrode plate 21. The heat-insulating substrate 22 is used to maintain temperature stability, thereby preventing internal temperature leakage and insufficient cooling temperature. The heat-insulating substrate 22 is made of rigid polyurethane foam or glass fiber reinforced aerogel felt. Rigid polyurethane foam has excellent thermal insulation properties, with a thermal conductivity of 0.022~0.033W, which can achieve uniform temperature transfer, thereby ensuring uniform heat dissipation, achieving uniform cooling inside the refrigerator, and improving cooling efficiency. In addition, it has good waterproof performance, which can effectively isolate the condensation generated inside the refrigerator, thereby protecting the thermoelectric material pillars 23 inside the insulation substrate 22; the fiber-reinforced aerogel felt has extremely low thermal conductivity and low heat capacity, which can effectively prevent the conduction and transfer of heat, thereby avoiding the temperature rise inside the refrigerator and ensuring the cooling temperature and efficiency; at the same time, the material of the insulation substrate 22 is selected according to the type of semiconductor refrigerator. When the semiconductor refrigerator is a flat refrigerator, rigid polyurethane foam is often used as the insulation substrate 22, and when the semiconductor refrigerator is a crank refrigerator, fiber-reinforced aerogel felt is often used as the insulation substrate 22.
[0037] The insulation substrate 22 has arrayed mounting holes 221, and thermoelectric material pillars 23 are fixedly installed in the mounting holes 221. The thermoelectric material pillars 23 are used to achieve the cooling effect of the refrigerator. The thermoelectric material pillars 23 achieve the cooling effect through the Peltier effect. The Peltier effect refers to the phenomenon that when two different conductor materials are connected to form a closed circuit and a direct current flows through them, one joint will release heat and the other joint will absorb heat. Changing the direction of the current will change the direction of heat release and absorption. The thermoelectric material pillars 23 are divided into P-type thermoelectric material pillars 231 and N-type thermoelectric material pillars 232. When the P-type thermoelectric material pillar 231 is energized, the temperature gradually increases along the current flow direction of the P-type thermoelectric material pillar 231; when the N-type thermoelectric material pillar 232 is energized, the temperature gradually decreases along the current flow direction of the N-type thermoelectric material pillar 232. The P-type thermoelectric material pillars 231 and N-type thermoelectric material pillars 232... Thermoelectric material columns 232 are alternately installed in the mounting holes 221 and are all fixedly connected to the electrode plate 21. The P-type thermoelectric material column 231, N-type thermoelectric material column 232 and electrode plate 21 form a closed circuit. The electrode plate 21, P-type thermoelectric material column 231 and N-type thermoelectric material column 232 form a closed circuit to achieve cooling. Current flows from electrode plate 21 to P-type thermoelectric material column 231. During the flow, the temperature gradually increases from electrode plate 21 to P-type thermoelectric material column 231, thereby reducing the internal temperature of inner shell 11 and achieving cooling. The current then flows from P-type thermoelectric material column 231 to N-type thermoelectric material column 232, and finally flows back from N-type thermoelectric material column 232 to electrode plate 21. During the flow, the temperature gradually decreases from N-type thermoelectric material column 232 to electrode plate 21, reducing the internal temperature of inner shell 11 and achieving cooling.
[0038] The mounting holes 221 are arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb pattern. This hexagonal honeycomb pattern provides extremely high strength, rigidity, and stability, ensuring uniform stress distribution on the insulation substrate 22 and preventing stress concentration. Simultaneously, the honeycomb arrangement allows air to flow within, effectively isolating heat transfer and achieving insulation and heat preservation effects. The diameter of the mounting holes 221 is 5-10 mm, and the spacing between them is 2-3 times the hole diameter. The 5-10 mm hole diameter limits the volume of the thermoelectric material pillars 23, thus reducing the amount of thermoelectric material used while maintaining the cooling effect of the pillars, saving costs. The spacing of the mounting holes 221 ensures the cooling effect of the thermoelectric material pillars 23, allowing the cooling area of the pillars 23 to cover the entire insulation substrate 22, thereby ensuring the overall cooling temperature of the semiconductor refrigerator. A metallized coating 2211 or a thermally conductive adhesive layer is provided within the mounting holes 221. These coatings enhance heat conduction, thereby reducing the heat transfer of the insulation substrate. The internal thermal resistance of plate 22 improves temperature transfer efficiency, resulting in a uniform temperature distribution within the insulation substrate 22, thus ensuring a uniform cooling temperature distribution and improving the refrigerator's cooling effect. The metallized coating 2211 is a chemically plated copper layer or a nano-silver paste coating. A polyimide insulating film is provided on the metallized coating 2211. Chemically plated copper can evenly distribute copper within the mounting holes 221, thereby improving thermal conductivity due to the high heat dissipation performance of copper, resulting in a uniform temperature distribution within the insulation substrate 22, improving temperature uniformity, and ensuring a good cooling effect. The nano-silver paste coating has high thermal conductivity, allowing temperature to be quickly transferred to the insulation substrate 22, resulting in a uniform temperature distribution within the insulation substrate 22, thus avoiding uneven temperature distribution that leads to uneven cooling effect and improving cooling efficiency. The polyimide insulating film is used to form an insulating film. The polyimide insulating film is attached to the surface of the thermoelectric material pillar 23 to isolate the current from the thermoelectric material pillar 23, forming a stable flow circuit and ensuring the stable operation of the semiconductor refrigerator.
[0039] This utility model Figure 6 The image is a Fluent simulation diagram showing the temperature distribution on the inner surface of the inner shell 11 of the semiconductor refrigerator with the insulation layer 2. The darker areas are the areas with lower temperatures. As can be seen from the image, the temperature distribution on the inner surface of the inner shell 11 of the semiconductor refrigerator is uniform and reaches the required cooling temperature, ensuring the cooling effect of the semiconductor refrigerator and achieving uniform cooling.
