Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an embedded refrigerator and a kitchen system including the same. Background Technology
[0002] A common method for heat dissipation at the bottom of a refrigerator compressor is to divide the bottom or back of the refrigerator into left and right sections. One side is for air intake, and the other side is for air exhaust, thus forming a complete heat dissipation channel. Currently, the heat dissipation method for the compressor compartment of built-in refrigerators is the same as that of freestanding refrigerators. This method limits the heat dissipation and heat recovery of the compressor compartment in built-in refrigerators. As the gap between built-in refrigerators and cabinets becomes smaller, the challenge of heat dissipation in extreme spaces becomes increasingly greater, resulting in poor performance. On the one hand, currently, the preheated heat from the compressor compartment of both freestanding and built-in refrigerators is directly discharged into the outside space without being recovered or utilized, resulting in energy waste. On the other hand, cabinets are difficult to keep dry in humid weather, which can lead to mold growth on kitchen utensils or items inside the cabinets. Some cabinets also house appliances that emit moisture, such as dishwashers or washing machines, which can exacerbate moisture accumulation and even cause condensation on the inner walls of the cabinets, seriously affecting their lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defect that the heat dissipation of the embedded refrigerator in the prior art is not recycled and utilized, resulting in energy waste, and to provide an embedded refrigerator and a kitchen system including it.
[0004] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model provides an embedded refrigerator, which includes a compressor compartment and an exhaust pipe. The compressor compartment is provided with an exhaust hole, which is located on the side and / or top of the compressor compartment. The exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust hole. The embedded refrigerator is embedded in a cabinet, and the cabinet has a first connection hole. The exhaust pipe is connected to the first connection hole.
[0006] In this design, by opening exhaust vents on the side or top of the compressor compartment, the hot air from the compressor compartment can be uniformly discharged through these vents. Since the exhaust vents are connected to an exhaust pipe, the hot air discharged from the vents is collected within the exhaust pipe and then input into the cabinet through the first connecting hole, preventing the hot air from being directly discharged to the outside and wasting heat. Simultaneously, when the gap between the built-in refrigerator and the cabinet is very small, or even nearly "zero-integration," heat can be transferred out more effectively, improving the heat dissipation effect of the built-in refrigerator. Furthermore, connecting the exhaust pipe to the cabinet allows for continuous blowing of hot air inside the cabinet, keeping it dry. When appliances that emit moisture, such as dishwashers, are placed inside the cabinet, the blown hot air can also diffuse humid air to the outside, preventing moisture accumulation inside the cabinet and thus extending its lifespan.
[0007] Preferably, the exhaust pipe extends into the cabinet through the first connection hole.
[0008] In this solution, since the temperature of the hot air inside the exhaust pipe is higher than the temperature of the air inside the cabinet, extending the exhaust pipe into the cabinet increases the contact area between the exhaust pipe and the air inside the cabinet, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat from the exhaust pipe and the air temperature inside the cabinet.
[0009] Preferably, the exhaust pipe extends into the outer wall of the cabinet and has heat dissipation holes.
[0010] In this solution, by setting heat dissipation holes in the part of the exhaust pipe that extends into the cabinet, hot air can be delivered more evenly into the cabinet space.
[0011] Preferably, the heat dissipation holes face downwards from the exhaust pipe; and / or, the heat dissipation holes face sideways to the exhaust pipe.
[0012] In this design, by directing the heat dissipation vents downwards towards the exhaust pipe, hot air flows upwards, accelerating air circulation and further distributing heat more evenly. Orienting the heat dissipation vents to the side of the exhaust pipe also accelerates air circulation and further distributes heat more evenly.
[0013] Preferably, there are multiple cabinets, and a second connection hole is opened between two adjacent cabinets, into which the exhaust pipe extends.
[0014] In this solution, by setting up multiple cabinets, the waste heat collected by the exhaust pipe can be transferred to more cabinets, thereby improving the efficiency of waste heat utilization.
[0015] Preferably, the compressor compartment includes a fan and a compressor, with the air inlet of the fan facing the compressor and the air outlet of the fan facing the first connection hole.
[0016] In this design, by directing the fan inlet towards the compressor, heat can be extracted from the compressor. Compared to existing technologies that blow out the heat, this method offers higher heat dissipation efficiency. By directing the fan outlet towards the first connection hole, the efficiency of transferring the heat extracted from the compressor to the exhaust pipe can be improved.
[0017] Preferably, the fan is disposed within the first connection hole.
[0018] In this solution, by placing the fan inside the first connection hole, the heat extracted by the fan can be transferred to the exhaust pipe as much as possible, thereby improving the heat recovery efficiency of the exhaust pipe.
[0019] Preferably, the exhaust pipe is a flexible hose.
[0020] In this solution, by setting the exhaust pipe as a flexible hose, the exhaust pipe can be easily bent, making the layout and installation of the exhaust pipe more convenient.
[0021] Preferably, the bends in the exhaust pipe are chamfered.
[0022] In this solution, by setting a chamfer at the bend of the exhaust pipe, the flow efficiency of hot air at the bend of the exhaust pipe can be improved and the flow obstruction of hot air can be reduced.
[0023] A kitchen system comprising a built-in refrigerator as described above.
[0024] In this design, by opening exhaust vents on the side or top of the compressor compartment, the hot air from the compressor compartment can be uniformly discharged through these vents. Since the exhaust vents are connected to an exhaust pipe, the hot air discharged from the vents is collected within the exhaust pipe and then input into the cabinet through the first connecting hole, preventing the hot air from being directly discharged to the outside and wasting heat. Simultaneously, when the gap between the built-in refrigerator and the cabinet is very small, or even nearly "zero-integration," heat can be transferred out more effectively, improving the heat dissipation effect of the built-in refrigerator. Furthermore, connecting the exhaust pipe to the cabinet allows for continuous blowing of hot air inside the cabinet, keeping it dry. When appliances that emit moisture, such as dishwashers, are placed inside the cabinet, the blown hot air can also diffuse humid air to the outside, preventing moisture accumulation inside the cabinet and thus extending its lifespan.
[0025] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0026] This utility model discloses an embedded refrigerator and a kitchen system including it. By opening an exhaust port on the side or top of the compressor compartment, the hot air from the compressor compartment can be uniformly discharged through the exhaust port. Since the exhaust port is connected to an exhaust pipe, the hot air discharged from the exhaust port can be collected in the exhaust pipe and input into the cabinet through a first connecting hole, avoiding the waste of heat caused by the direct discharge of hot air to the outside. At the same time, when the gap between the embedded refrigerator and the cabinet is very small, or even close to "zero embedding", heat can be transferred out more effectively, improving the heat dissipation effect of the embedded refrigerator. In addition, connecting the exhaust pipe to the cabinet can also continuously blow hot air into the cabinet, thereby keeping the cabinet dry. When appliances that emit moisture, such as dishwashers, are placed in the cabinet, the blown hot air can also diffuse the humid air to the outside, preventing moisture accumulation in the cabinet and thus extending the service life of the cabinet.

[0044] The present invention will be described more clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings, using a preferred embodiment.
[0045] This embodiment provides an embedded refrigerator 100, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a compressor compartment 1 and an exhaust pipe 2. An exhaust port 11 is provided on the compressor compartment 1. The exhaust port 11 is located on the side or top of the compressor compartment 1. Preferably, the exhaust port 11 is located on the top and side of the compressor compartment 1. The exhaust pipe 2 is connected to the exhaust port 11. The cabinet 3 includes a first cabinet body 33 and a second cabinet body 34. The first cabinet body 33 has a receiving cavity. The built-in refrigerator 100 is embedded in the receiving cavity of the first cabinet body 33. A first connecting hole 31 is provided between the first cabinet body 33 and the second cabinet body 34. The exhaust pipe 2 is connected to the first connecting hole 31.
[0046] Thus, by opening an exhaust port 11 on the side or top of the compressor compartment 1, the hot air from the compressor compartment 1 can be uniformly discharged through the exhaust port 11. Since the exhaust port 11 is connected to the exhaust pipe 2, the hot air discharged from the exhaust port 11 can be gathered into the exhaust pipe 2 and input into the cabinet 3 through the first connecting hole 31, avoiding the waste of heat caused by the hot air being directly discharged to the outside. At the same time, when the gap between the built-in refrigerator 100 and the first cabinet 33 is very small, or even almost "zero-built-in", heat can be transferred out better, improving the heat dissipation effect of the built-in refrigerator 100. In addition, connecting the exhaust pipe 2 to the second cabinet 34 of the cabinet 3 can also continuously blow hot air into the second cabinet 34, thereby keeping the second cabinet 34 dry; when appliances that emit moisture, such as dishwashers, are placed in the second cabinet 34, the blown hot air can also diffuse the humid air to the outside, preventing the accumulation of moisture in the second cabinet 34, thereby improving the service life of the second cabinet 34.
[0047] In this embodiment, an air inlet 12 is provided at the bottom of the compressor compartment 1, which is connected to an exhaust port 11, allowing cold air to enter the compressor compartment 1 from the outside. Heat exchange carries away the heat inside the compressor compartment 1, and the air is then collected in the exhaust pipe 2 through the exhaust port 11, thus forming a heat dissipation path for the compressor compartment 1. When the gap between the built-in refrigerator 100 and the cabinet 3 is very small, placing the exhaust port 11 on the side and top of the compressor compartment 1 makes it easier to connect the exhaust pipe 2. The built-in refrigerator 100 is entirely embedded in the cabinet 3. Preferably, a first connecting hole 31 is provided on the side of the first cabinet body 33 of the cabinet 3 near the exhaust port 11. This shortens the distance from the exhaust pipe 2 to the first connecting hole 31, thereby saving costs and reducing heat loss during transmission.
[0048] Specifically, the exhaust pipe 2 passes through the first connection hole 31 and extends into the second cabinet body 34 of the cabinet 3.
[0049] Thus, since the temperature of the hot air inside the exhaust pipe 2 is higher than the temperature of the air inside the second cabinet 34, by extending the exhaust pipe 2 into the second cabinet 34, the contact area between the exhaust pipe 2 and the air inside the second cabinet 34 can be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the heat of the exhaust pipe 2 and the temperature of the air inside the second cabinet 34.
[0050] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 2 extends through the first connection hole 31 into the second cabinet 34 and is installed horizontally on the inner wall of the second cabinet 34.
[0051] Specifically, the exhaust pipe 2 extends into the outer wall of the second cabinet 34 and is provided with heat dissipation holes 21.
[0052] Thus, by setting heat dissipation holes 21 in the part of the exhaust pipe 2 that extends into the second cabinet 34, hot air can be delivered more evenly into the space of the second cabinet 34.
[0053] In this embodiment, the heat dissipation hole 21 faces downwards from the exhaust pipe 2; or, the heat dissipation hole 21 faces sideways from the exhaust pipe 2. Preferably, the heat dissipation hole 21 is provided both downwards and sideways from the exhaust pipe 2. By facing the heat dissipation hole 21 downwards from the exhaust pipe 2, hot air flows upwards, accelerating air circulation and further distributing heat more evenly. By facing the heat dissipation hole 21 sideways from the exhaust pipe 2, air circulation can be accelerated, further distributing heat more evenly.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple second cabinets 34 of the cabinet 3, and a second connecting hole 32 is opened between two adjacent second cabinets 34, into which the exhaust pipe 2 extends.
[0055] In this way, by setting up multiple second cabinets 34, the waste heat collected by the exhaust pipe 2 can be transferred to more second cabinets 34, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of waste heat.
[0056] In this embodiment, the second cabinet 34 of the cabinet 3 consists of two adjacent second cabinets 34, with a second connecting hole 32 between the two adjacent second cabinets 34. The exhaust pipe 2 extends into the second cabinet 34 near the compressor compartment 1 through the first connecting hole 31, and then extends into the second cabinet 34 away from the compressor compartment 1 through the second connecting hole 32. The specific number of second cabinets 34 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the compressor compartment 1 includes a fan 14 and a compressor 13. The air inlet of the fan 14 faces the compressor 13, and the air outlet of the fan 14 faces the first connection hole 31.
[0058] In this way, by directing the air inlet of the fan 14 toward the compressor 13, the heat from the compressor 13 can be extracted. Compared with the existing technology that blows out the heat from the compressor 13, the heat dissipation efficiency of extracting the heat from the compressor 13 is higher. By directing the air outlet of the fan 14 toward the first connection hole 31, the transmission efficiency of the heat extracted from the compressor 13 to the exhaust pipe 2 can be improved.
[0059] In this embodiment, the air inlet of fan 14 refers to the end where fan 14 draws in air, and the air outlet of fan 14 refers to the end where fan 14 blows air out. Preferably, fan 14 is placed between compressor 13 and first connecting hole 31, and compressor 13, air inlet of fan 14, air outlet of fan 14, exhaust hole 11, and first connecting hole 31 are aligned in the same axial direction. This structure reduces the obstruction encountered by hot air flowing through fan 14 and improves transmission efficiency. Preferably, fan 14 is disposed within first connecting hole 31. By disposing of fan 14 within first connecting hole 31, the heat extracted by fan 14 can be directed to exhaust pipe 2 to the maximum extent possible, thereby improving the heat recovery efficiency of exhaust pipe 2.
[0060] Specifically, exhaust pipe 2 is a flexible hose.
[0061] Thus, by setting the exhaust pipe 2 as a flexible hose, the exhaust pipe 2 can be easily bent, making the arrangement and installation of the exhaust pipe 2 more convenient.
[0062] In this embodiment, the hose can be made of plastic or aluminum foil. In other embodiments, those skilled in the art can choose hoses made of other materials.
[0063] Specifically, a chamfer 22 is provided at the bend of the exhaust pipe 2.
[0064] Thus, by setting a chamfer 22 at the bend of the exhaust pipe 2, the flow efficiency of hot air at the bend of the exhaust pipe 2 can be improved, and the flow obstruction of hot air can be reduced.
[0065] This embodiment also provides a kitchen system, which includes the built-in refrigerator 100 as described above.
[0066] Therefore, by opening an exhaust port 11 on the side of the compressor compartment 1, the hot air from the compressor compartment 1 can be uniformly discharged through the exhaust port 11. Since the exhaust port 11 is connected to the exhaust pipe 2, the hot air discharged from the exhaust port 11 can be gathered into the exhaust pipe 2 and input into the cabinet 3 through the first connecting hole 31, avoiding the direct discharge of hot air to the outside and the waste of heat. At the same time, when the gap between the built-in refrigerator 100 and the cabinet 3 is very small, or even almost "zero-integration", heat can be transferred out better, improving the heat dissipation effect of the built-in refrigerator 100. In addition, connecting the exhaust pipe 2 to the second cabinet 34 of the cabinet 3 can also continuously blow hot air into the second cabinet 34, thereby keeping the second cabinet 34 dry; when appliances that emit moisture, such as dishwashers, are placed in the second cabinet 34, the blown hot air can also diffuse the humid air to the outside, preventing the accumulation of moisture in the second cabinet 34, thereby improving the service life of the second cabinet 34.
[0067] In this embodiment, the kitchen system refers to a collection of devices that constitute the kitchen environment and functions. The kitchen system includes an embedded refrigerator 100 and a cabinet 3 embedded in the refrigerator. The cabinet 3 can hold kitchen utensils, tableware, or dishwashers and other appliances.
[0068] While specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
