Everyday food mainly includes vegetables, meat, eggs, and leftovers used for cooking in the kitchen, as well as fruits, snacks, and beverages that can be eaten directly in restaurants. In related technologies, these two types of food are often placed in the same refrigeration chamber, which can easily lead to cross-contamination of flavors and affect the taste of the food. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application aims to at least partially solve the technical problem of odor transfer between two refrigeration cavities and between two freezing cavities, which affects the storage effect of food. To this end, this application provides a refrigeration device.

[0004] This application provides a refrigeration device, including:

[0005] The housing has a first chamber and a second chamber that are independent of each other. The first chamber includes a first refrigeration chamber and a first freezing chamber, and the second chamber includes a second refrigeration chamber and a second freezing chamber.

[0006] A first air duct module and a second air duct module are installed in the first chamber to supply air to the first refrigerator chamber and the first freezer chamber; the second air duct module is installed in the second chamber to supply air to the second refrigerator chamber and the second freezer chamber.

[0007] In the refrigeration equipment provided in this application embodiment, since the first chamber and the second chamber are independent of each other, the first chamber includes a first refrigeration chamber and a first freezing chamber, and the second chamber includes a second refrigeration chamber and a second freezing chamber. That is, both the first chamber and the second chamber have freezing and refrigeration functions. Therefore, ingredients used for cooking in the kitchen and snacks eaten directly in the restaurant can be stored in the first chamber and the second chamber respectively. Furthermore, since the first air duct module is used to blow cold air into the first refrigeration chamber and the first freezing chamber, and the second air duct module is used to blow cold air into the second refrigeration chamber and the second freezing chamber, the first chamber and the second chamber do not share an air duct module, but each uses an independent set of air duct modules. This enables one refrigeration equipment to have the functions of two refrigeration equipment at the same time. In this way, the kitchen and dining areas can be separated, and the cross-contamination of odors between the first chamber and the second chamber can be minimized, thereby improving the storage quality of food.

The second air outlet component is installed in the second refrigeration chamber, and the second air supply component is installed in the second freezing chamber. The second air outlet component can communicate with the second air supply component, so that cold air in the second air supply component enters the second air outlet component.

[0013] In some embodiments, the second air duct module further includes a second mounting member and a second damper. The second mounting member is mounted on the housing and has a second air supply channel that connects the second air outlet assembly and the second air supply assembly. The second damper is mounted on the second mounting member and can open or close the second air supply channel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second air outlet assembly has a second air outlet duct, and the second air supply assembly includes a second housing, a second air supply duct, a second fan, and a second evaporator. The second air supply duct, the second fan, and the second evaporator are installed inside the second housing, and the second air supply channel can connect the second air outlet duct and the second air supply duct.

[0031] Food needs to be refrigerated during storage to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Everyday food mainly includes vegetables, meat, eggs, and leftovers used for cooking in the kitchen, as well as fruits, snacks, and beverages that can be eaten directly in restaurants. In related technologies, these two types of food are often placed in the same refrigeration chamber, which can easily lead to cross-contamination of odors and affect the taste of the food. To improve the problems existing in related technologies, this application provides a refrigeration device that can simultaneously function as two refrigeration devices, thereby achieving separation of the kitchen and dining areas, minimizing cross-contamination of odors between the first and second chambers, and improving the quality of food storage.

[0032] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] Please see Figures 1-3 This application provides a refrigeration device 10 that can function as two refrigeration devices simultaneously, thereby separating the kitchen and dining areas, minimizing cross-contamination of odors between the first and second chambers, and improving the storage quality of food.

[0034] The refrigeration device 10 can be a freezer or a refrigerator. In this embodiment, for ease of description, a refrigerator is used as an example for illustrating the refrigeration device 10. The same principle applies when the refrigeration device 10 is another device.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-3In this embodiment, the refrigeration device 10 includes a housing 100, a first air duct module 200, and a second air duct module 200'. The housing 100 has a first chamber 110 and a second chamber 110' that are independent of each other. The first chamber 110 includes a first refrigerator chamber 113 and a first freezer chamber 114, and the second chamber 110' includes a second refrigerator chamber 113' and a second freezer chamber 114'. The first air duct module 200 is installed in the first chamber 110 to supply air to the first refrigerator chamber 113 and the first freezer chamber 114; the second air duct module 200' is installed in the second chamber 110' to supply air to the second refrigerator chamber 113' and the second freezer chamber 114'.

[0036] The enclosure 100 is roughly rectangular. For ease of description, the height direction Z, width direction X, and thickness direction are defined. In the operating state of the refrigeration device 10, the vertical direction is the height direction Z, and the projection of the enclosure 100 in the vertical direction is a rectangle. The direction of the longer side is the width direction X, and the direction of the shorter side is the thickness direction.

[0037] Similarly, for ease of description, six directions are defined: up, down, left, right, front, and back. In the height direction Z, up is closer to the top surface and down is further from the top surface; in the width direction X, left and right are respectively. The housing 100 has an opening; in the thickness direction, front is closer to the opening and back is further from the opening.

[0038] The housing 100 is the main structure of the entire refrigeration equipment 10, providing a mounting base for the air duct module, compressor, evaporator, and other structures, and also protecting the aforementioned electronic components. The housing 100 has two independent chambers: a first chamber 110 and a second chamber 110'. The first chamber 110 includes a first refrigeration chamber 113 and a first freezing chamber 114. The second chamber 110' includes a second refrigeration chamber 113' and a second freezing chamber 114'. The first refrigeration chamber 113 and the second refrigeration chamber 113' are used for refrigerating items, while the first freezing chamber 114 and the second freezing chamber 114' are used for freezing items. Specifically, the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' can be arranged side-by-side along the width direction X of the housing 100, with the first freezing chamber 114 located below the first refrigeration chamber 113, and the second freezing chamber 114' located below the second refrigeration chamber 113'.

[0039] Since the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' are independent of each other, and both the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' have refrigeration and freezing functions, the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' can store different types of food. For example, the first chamber 110 can store ingredients used for cooking in the kitchen, such as meat, vegetables, eggs, etc., while the second chamber 110' can store snacks, beverages, etc. that are eaten directly in the restaurant, thus achieving separation of the kitchen and dining areas.

[0040] Since the first air duct module 200 is installed in the first chamber 110 to supply air to the first refrigerator chamber 113 and the first freezer chamber 114, and the second air duct module 200' is installed in the second chamber 110' to supply air to the second refrigerator chamber 113' and the second freezer chamber 114', the first refrigerator chamber 113 and the first freezer chamber 114 share a set of air duct modules, and the second refrigerator chamber 113' and the second freezer chamber 114' share a set of air duct modules. There is no gas circulation between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110'. This minimizes the cross-contamination of odors between the first refrigerator chamber 113 and the second refrigerator chamber 113', and between the first freezer chamber 114 and the second freezer chamber 114', thus improving the quality of food storage.

[0041] In summary, since the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' each operate independently using a separate set of air duct modules, and both the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' have refrigeration and freezing functions, the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' can be regarded as separate refrigeration devices 10. That is, the refrigeration device 10 provided in this application embodiment can realize the function of two refrigeration devices 10 at the same time, so as to improve the problem of cross-contamination of flavors while ensuring the amount of food stored.

[0042] It should be noted that the structures of the first air duct module 200 and the second air duct module 200' are completely identical. This article will use the structure of the first air duct module 200 as an example for specific explanation, and the structure of the second air duct module 200' can be deduced by analogy.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first air duct module 200 includes a first air outlet assembly 210 and a first air supply assembly 220. The first air outlet assembly 210 is installed in the first refrigeration chamber 113, and the first air supply assembly 220 is installed in the first freezing chamber 114. The first air outlet assembly 210 is communicative with the first air supply assembly 220, allowing cold air from the first air supply assembly 220 to enter the first air outlet assembly 210.

[0044] The first air outlet assembly 210 is installed inside the first refrigerator compartment 113 to blow cold air into the first refrigerator compartment 113, and the first air supply assembly 220 is installed inside the first freezer compartment 114 to blow cold air into the first freezer compartment 114. Since the first air outlet assembly 210 can communicate with the first air supply assembly 220, the cold air in the first air supply assembly 220 enters the first air outlet assembly 210, thereby allowing the first air outlet assembly 210 to supply air into the first refrigerator compartment 113.

[0045] Similarly, the second air duct module 200' includes a second air outlet component 210' and a second air supply component 220'. The second air outlet component 210' is installed in the second refrigeration chamber 113', and the second air supply component 220' is installed in the second freezing chamber 114'. The second air outlet component 210' can communicate with the second air supply component 220', so that the cold air in the second air supply component 220' enters the second air outlet component 210'.

[0046] The second air outlet assembly 210' is installed inside the second refrigerator compartment 113' to blow cold air into the second refrigerator compartment 113', and the second air supply assembly 220' is installed inside the second freezer compartment 114' to blow cold air into the second freezer compartment 114'. Since the second air outlet assembly 210' can communicate with the second air supply assembly 220', the cold air in the second air supply assembly 220' enters the second air outlet assembly 210', thereby allowing the second air outlet assembly 210' to supply air into the second refrigerator compartment 113'.

[0047] Please see Figures 4-6 In some embodiments, the first air duct module 200 further includes a first mounting member 230 and a first damper 240. The first mounting member 230 is mounted on the housing 100 and has a first air supply channel 231 that can connect the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220. The first damper 240 is mounted on the first mounting member 230 and can open or close the first air supply channel 231.

[0048] The first damper 240 connects or separates the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 by opening or closing the first air supply channel 231. The first damper 240 can open or close the first air supply channel 231 by rotation. When the first damper 240 opens the first air supply channel 231, the first air supply channel 231 connects the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220, and the cold air in the first air supply assembly 220 enters the first air outlet assembly 210 through the first air supply channel 231. When the first damper 240 closes the first air supply channel 231, that is, when the first damper 240 covers the first air supply channel 231, the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 are separated. Of course, the first damper 240 can also control the airflow by adjusting its opening degree to adjust the temperature of the first refrigeration chamber 113.

[0049] Similarly, the second air duct module 200' also includes a second mounting member 230' and a second air damper 240'. The second mounting member 230' is mounted on the housing 100 and has a second air supply channel 231' that can connect the second air outlet assembly 210' and the second air supply assembly 220'. The second air damper 240' is mounted on the second mounting member 230' and can open or close the second air supply channel 231'.

[0050] Please see Figures 4-6 In some embodiments, the first air outlet assembly 210 has a first air outlet duct 211, and the first air supply assembly 220 includes a first housing 221, a first air supply duct 222, a first fan 223 and a first evaporator 224. The first air supply duct 222, the first fan 223 and the first evaporator 224 are installed inside the first housing 221, and the first air supply channel 231 can connect the first air outlet duct 211 and the first air supply duct 222.

[0051] The first air outlet duct 211 is used to blow air into the first refrigeration chamber 113, the first air supply duct 222 is used to blow air into the first freezing chamber 114, and the first air damper 240 connects or separates the first air outlet duct 211 and the first air supply duct 222 by opening or closing the first air supply channel 231.

[0052] The first evaporator 224 is used to cool the air, and the first fan 223 is used to circulate the cold air within the cavity. Since the first freezing cavity 114 requires a larger cooling capacity, the first fan 223 and the first evaporator 224 are installed inside the first housing 221. Thus, the first evaporator 224 can directly cool the air in the first air supply duct 222, and the resulting cold air can be blown out of the first freezing cavity 114. Under the action of the first fan 223, the cold air can flow through the first air supply channel 231 to the first air outlet duct 211, so that the first air outlet duct 211 blows air into the first refrigeration cavity 113. That is, the cold air in the first air outlet duct 211 and the first air supply duct 222 is cooled by the first evaporator 224 in the first housing 221, and under the action of the first fan 223, the cold air can circulate simultaneously in the first freezing cavity 114 and the first refrigeration cavity 113.

[0053] Similarly, the second air outlet assembly 210' has a second air outlet duct 211', and the second air supply assembly 220' includes a second housing 221', a second air supply duct 222', a second fan 223', and a second evaporator 224'. The second air supply duct 222', the second fan 223', and the second evaporator 224' are installed inside the second housing 221', and the second air supply channel 231' can connect the second air outlet duct 211' and the second air supply duct 222'.

[0054] Please see Figures 4-6 In some embodiments, the first housing 221 further includes a first return air duct 225, the first air outlet assembly 210 includes a first refrigerated air outlet 212 and a first refrigerated return air outlet 213 communicating with the first air outlet duct 211, the first housing 221 includes a first refrigerated air outlet 226 and a first refrigerated return air outlet 227 communicating with the first air supply duct 222, and the first refrigerated return air outlet 213 and the first refrigerated return air outlet 227 are communicating with the first return air duct 225.

[0055] The first return air duct 225 is connected to the first supply air duct 222. The first refrigerated air outlet 212 and the first refrigerated air return outlet 213 are both connected to the first refrigerated cavity 113. The first freezer air outlet 226 and the first freezer air return outlet 227 are connected to the first freezer cavity 114. Under the action of the first fan 223, the cold air from the first air outlet duct 211 is blown into the first refrigerated cavity 113 through the first refrigerated air outlet 212, cooling the items inside the first refrigerated cavity 113. The air then enters the first return air duct 225 through the first refrigeration return air inlet 213. The cold air from the first supply air duct 222 is blown out through the first refrigeration air outlet 226 to cool the items in the first refrigeration chamber 114. The air then enters the first return air duct 225 through the first refrigeration return air inlet 227. The air entering the first return air duct 225 is cooled again and then enters the first supply air duct 222 and the first outlet air duct 211, thus realizing the circulation of air and continuous cooling of the items.

[0056] Similarly, the second housing 221' also has a second return air duct 225', the second air outlet assembly 210' has a second refrigerated air outlet 212' and a second refrigerated return air outlet 213' connected to the second air outlet duct 211', the second housing 221' has a second refrigerated air outlet 226' and a second refrigerated return air outlet 227' connected to the second air supply duct 222', and the second refrigerated return air outlet 213' and the second refrigerated return air outlet 227' are connected to the second return air duct 225'.

[0057] Please see Figures 4-6 In some embodiments, the first mounting component 230 further has a first return air passage 232 communicating with the first return air duct 225, and the first return air passage 232 communicating with the first refrigerated return air inlet 213.

[0058] Since the first return air duct 232 is connected to the first refrigerated return air inlet 213, the air in the first refrigerated chamber 113, after entering the first refrigerated return air inlet 213, can flow through the first return air duct 232 to the first return air channel 225, achieving gas circulation. That is, the air supplied from the first supply air channel 222 to the first outlet air channel 211 passes through the first supply air duct 231, and the air returning from the first refrigerated chamber 113 to the first return air channel 225 passes through the first return air duct 232. The first mounting component 230 can be used for both supply and return air, thus making the structure of the air duct assembly more compact. Of course, since both the first return air channel 225 and the first refrigeration return air inlet 227 are located in the first refrigeration chamber 114, the first refrigeration return air inlet 227 can be directly connected to the first return air duct 225, allowing the air in the first refrigeration chamber 114 to directly enter the first return air duct 225 through the first refrigeration return air inlet 227, achieving gas circulation.

[0059] Similarly, the second mounting component 230' also has a second return air duct 232' that communicates with the second return air duct 225' and the second return air duct 232' that communicates with the second refrigerated return air inlet 213'.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the housing 100 further includes an opening communicating with the first chamber 110. The first chamber 110 has a first rear wall 112 and a first side wall 111. The first rear wall 112 is disposed opposite to the opening, and the first rear wall 112 and the first side wall 111 are disposed at an angle. The first air duct module 200 is installed on the first side wall 111.

[0061] The housing 100 has an opening through which a user can take out or put in items. The first chamber 110 has a first rear wall 112 and first side walls 111. The first rear wall 112 is disposed opposite to the opening. There are two first side walls 111, and both first side walls 111 are disposed at an angle to the first rear wall 112. The first rear wall 112 is disposed opposite to the opening in the depth direction Y, and the two first side walls 111 are disposed opposite to each other in the width direction X. The first side walls 111 are perpendicular to the first rear wall 112.

[0062] Since the first air outlet assembly 210 is installed on the first side wall 111 of the first refrigeration chamber 113 and the first air supply assembly 220 is installed on the first side wall 111 of the first freezing chamber 114, neither the first air outlet assembly 210 nor the first air supply assembly 220 occupies the space of the refrigeration equipment 10 in the depth direction Y. Thus, while meeting the ultra-thin requirements of the refrigeration equipment 10, the space for the refrigeration equipment 10 to hold items can be guaranteed as much as possible.

[0063] It should be noted that, since the first chamber 110 has two opposing first side walls 111, the first air outlet assembly 210 can be installed on any one of the first side walls 111 of the first refrigeration chamber 113, and the first air supply assembly 220 can be installed on any one of the first side walls 111 of the first freezing chamber 114, without any limitation.

[0064] Similarly, the housing 100 also includes an opening communicating with the second chamber 110', the second chamber 110' having a second rear wall 112' and a second side wall 111', the second rear wall 112' being disposed opposite to the opening, the second rear wall 112' and the second side wall 111' being disposed at an angle, and the second air duct module 200' being installed on the second side wall 111'.

[0065] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 are arranged on the same side.

[0066] Since the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 share a set of first evaporator 224 and first fan 223, the first air supply assembly 220 can communicate with the first air outlet assembly 210 to deliver cold air to the first air outlet assembly 210. Furthermore, the air supply and return between the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 are both delivered through the first mounting component 230. Therefore, the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 are set on the same side, which makes it easier to connect the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220, and also makes it easier to set up the first mounting component 230.

[0067] Similarly, the second air outlet assembly 210' and the second air supply assembly 220' are also arranged on the same side.

[0068] Specifically, the first air outlet assembly 210 and the first air supply assembly 220 can both be located on the left side of the first chamber 110 or both on the right side of the first chamber 110. The second air outlet assembly 210' and the second air supply assembly 220' can both be located on the left side of the second chamber 110' or both on the right side of the second chamber 110', and there is no limitation on this.

[0069] The following describes the entire gas circulation process within the refrigeration equipment 10 provided in this application embodiment, taking the first air duct module 200 as an example. The same applies to the second air duct module 200'.

[0070] After being cooled by the first evaporator 224, the gas in the first air supply duct 222 is blown into the first freezing chamber 114 through the first freezing air outlet 226 by the first fan 223 to freeze the items in the first freezing chamber 114. The gas then flows back to the first return air duct 225 through the first freezing return air outlet 227. The gas also enters the first air outlet duct 211 through the first air supply channel 231 and enters the refrigerator through the first refrigeration air outlet 212 to refrigerate the items in the first refrigeration chamber 113. The gas then flows back to the first return air duct 225 through the first refrigeration return air outlet 213 and the first return air channel 232, thus achieving gas circulation.

[0071] In summary, in the refrigeration device 10 provided in this application embodiment, since the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' are independent of each other, and both the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' have freezing and refrigeration functions, and the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 110' do not share an air duct module, but each uses an independent set of air duct modules, one refrigeration device 10 can simultaneously have the functions of two refrigeration devices 10. In this way, the cross-contamination of odors between the first refrigeration chamber 113 and the second refrigeration chamber 113', and between the first freezing chamber 114 and the second freezing chamber 114' can be minimized, thereby improving the storage quality of food.
